The next day, Li Shimin and Li Xuanba came to the gate of the palace on time. And behind the two, there is a large retinue.

In addition to Li Shimin's own 100 personal soldiers, as well as Li Xin, Shi Luosha, Dou Zhongxian and Yang Yun, there are also 100 elite subordinates of the Li family, as well as Li Shizhen and Li Shifu, two tribal generals.

These two are both second-grade cultivators, handsome and extremely handsome, like such a character, there are only five people in the entire Tang State Mansion, and they are all the right-hand men of his father Li Yuan.

The handsome ink armor they use is also very good, and its quality and combat power are not inferior to the 'Tiger King Kong' obtained by the Rakshasa Shashasa .

And the eunuch Hou was already waiting at the palace gate.

Hundreds of other people gathered here, including Li Fengjie, a member of the Ministry of Rites, and several of his retinue, as well as three well-equipped and 400 well-equipped soldiers of the Forbidden Army.

But what Li Shimin cared about the most was a one-eyed old man standing beside Eunuch Hou. This man is about sixty years old, with a white face and no beard, wearing a one-product offering costume of embroidered clothes, and his posture seems to be as stable as a mountain, and as elegant as a willow, and he actually integrates two completely different martial arts artistic conceptions.

"This is the first product of the embroidered clothes guard to worship Yang Taixu! I had already resigned and returned to Rongyang a few years ago, but this time because of the chaos in Luoyang, the embroidered clothes guard was short of manpower, and was invited out of the mountain again by Tang Gonggong. ”

Nahou Zhangshu introduced Li Shimin with a smile: "The queen is also quite worried about Li Yitong's safety. Specially ordered to embroider clothes and guards, and sent a one-product to worship and accompany him. ”

Li Shimin immediately looked solemn and saluted to this Yang Gonggong.

There are not many embroidered clothes and guards, and those who can be given the surname Yang are all from Yingwei.

Not surprisingly, this should be one of the shadow guards beside the first emperor. The embroidered guards let such a figure accompany the guards, which made Li Shimin feel flattered.

"There is also this one, it is Li Fengjie, a member of the Ministry of Rites, who was born in the Li family of Zhao County! You two have the same surname, and they are both people with five surnames and seven wangzhong, so you should be more close!"

That Li Fengjie is thirty years old, with a long and thin figure, a high nose bridge, and a shrewd and capable temperament.

And this person's age, although he is one round older than Li Shimin, he is full of enthusiasm in front of the latter, and he bows to Li Shimin first with a smile: "Xiaguan Li Fengjie, I have seen Lord Yitong!"

"How dare you be a gift to the elderly?"

Li Shimin hurriedly turned sideways and stepped aside, and also returned a salute: "If you don't do anything more, you will suddenly take on heavy responsibilities, and now you are sincerely afraid, for fear that you will have the high hopes of the court." In short, there is something wrong with this road, and I ask the staff to mention more, but I have a life, and I dare not obey. ”

Wai Lang is from the fifth grade, which is lower than the five grades of Yitong Sansi and the founder of the country, so it is not wrong for this self-proclaimed subordinate official. But where is the other party's age and qualifications, how dare Li Shimin hold it up?

In addition, although both of them are Tailing patrol envoys, they are both literate and martial, and there is no distinction between chief and secondary. But Li Shimin knew that this official had been an official for many years and had rich experience. At least in terms of 'etiquette', he has thrown him a full street, and he can be his teacher.

In addition, the two of them have different paths, and the five surnames and seven hopes have always been the same spirit. This outsider should not have any bad intentions towards himself.

After all, the responsibilities of both parties are grasshoppers on the same boat at this time, and if something goes wrong in this errand, both of them will be responsible.

Therefore, on this trip to Tailing, it will never hurt to listen to this person's opinion.

"Definitely, definitely!"

Li Fengjie still had a smile on his face, but there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

What did he think to himself, but he didn't dare to disobey?

At a young age, this son was already able to command the battle formation of the army, defeat the strong with the weak, and help the driver. In addition, this person himself is also the top noble, and he is a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and he is deeply loved by the queen.

- He had inquired about the details of this temporary colleague in advance, and knew that just a few days earlier, His Royal Highness Empress Xiao had given him a generous reward for no reason. And now even the shadow guards around the first emperor have been sent over, just to take care of the life and safety of this son, which shows the weight of this Li Yitong in the queen's mind.

In the face of such a character, how dare he be proud of his age and qualifications?

However, Li Shimin said such things in front of him, which still made him feel comfortable. As for what is less or worse, although Li Fengjie has also doubted this, but since it is ordered by Her Royal Highness the Queen, it is reasonable and reasonable.

And this young man Yitong, the calmness and sophistication shown in front of him also surprised Li Fengjie a little. Suddenly, there was a feeling that Her Royal Highness did not choose the wrong person.

The next three accompanying preparers were no longer qualified to be introduced by Hou Zhang. However, Li Shimin knew that he was in the same right body, and although he was not familiar with it, he had also met several times.

Next, Li Shimin inspected the four hundred guards temporarily assigned to him, and saw that all of them were fully equipped and all the utensils were missing, so he looked satisfied slightly.

"Then the last general is here, and he will set off directly. Please also ask the lord in charge of the case to reply to His Royal Highness, this trip to Tailing, the last general will definitely not disappoint the queen. ”

"Naturally! Actually, Li Yitong can have this heart, Your Highness, she is very pleased——"

As Hou Zhang's case was talking about this, there was a coquettish voice behind him: "Li Shimin, you don't talk much!"

When the two of them heard this, they couldn't help but look back in astonishment. I saw that the little princess Yang Ying was puffing out her little face and riding a little pony with an angry look on her face. And a hundred paces behind this one, followed by a large group of followers.

"Little princess?"

Li Shimin's eyes were stunned at first, and then he patted his forehead with a headache. remembered that before I couldn't help it, I had promised Yang Ying that I would spare three hours today to teach her to use the ink armor.

As a result, because the queen appointed him to inspect Tailing, he forgot about it directly.

This matter is indeed his fault, Li Shimin can only look bitter, and lean over towards Yang Ying's apologetic slightly: "Little princess, forgive me! The last general broke the appointment this time, because of the official affairs of the imperial court, he was helpless, and it was not what the last general wanted." But the failure to inform the princess in advance was indeed a mistake. If the princess doesn't dislike it, the last general can make a tailor-made ink armor for the princess as compensation. In addition, when the last general returns to Luoyang, he will definitely make up for today's lesson. ”

He knew that once this little girl was sprinkled, no one could do anything about this except the queen. So just take the gift and block this girl's mouth.

"Really!"

The Xingshi came to Yang Ying to ask for sin, and when he heard the words, he turned his anger into joy. But then she raised her face again, and snorted coldly: "It's enough to just make up for it? Do you know how long Bengong has been preparing for today's lesson? At least three days! Teach me three days of ink armor before I can quench the princess's anger against the crown!"

Li Shimin couldn't help twitching the corners of his lips, as this girl's teacher, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed. I thought that the word "wrath of the crown" was used, is that how it is used?

"Three days is three days, I just hope that the princess will not regret being bitter and tired. ”

"Li Erlang, you can't help but underestimate me too much! Either this palace doesn't do it, or it's best to do it. In the future, the royal master will have a place in my palace!"

"But I've also heard of a sentence that the ideal is very plump, and the reality is very skinny."

"Ideal, reality, what kind of mess is this?"

Yang Ying couldn't help but snort softly again: "You are such a teacher, a role model, shouldn't you encourage the ambition of your disciples?"

"It is also the responsibility of the teacher to let the disciples understand their own limits and not suffer unnecessary blows because of this. ”

The exchange between the two made everyone, including Li Fengjie, stunned. Hou Zhangzhi deliberately shrank up, and his footsteps quietly moved back, for fear of being seen by Yang Ying.

The reason why Li Shimin released Yang Ying's pigeons this time is that he also has a responsibility. It's hard to say that this little devil won't be angry because of this.

And Li Fengjie's expression was even more solemn. At this time, he had a new understanding of Li Yitong's favor and ability.

The prestige of this little princess has long been not limited to the palace, even he has heard of it. It is said that more than a dozen sons of princes and ministers were planted in the hands of this one.

But this woman is obedient to this Li family Erlang, and even has a love for the curtain?

Li Fengjie couldn't help but glance at the boy and girl in front of him with another eyelid, and suddenly had a strange feeling.

Next, Li Shimin was afraid that he would have many dreams at night, and what happened to delay the trip. He only ordered everyone under his command to make a little preparation, and then set off immediately.

Li Fengjie also knew this, in fact, the big wedding was imminent, and he was anxious to rush back before the wedding, so he also intended to fulfill it. Although at this time, he also had a few colleagues to see him off at the gate of this palace, but this one directly boarded the carriage and tried not to cause trouble to Li Shimin.

And just when the group began to set off. Li Shimin saw the eldest grandson Wuji again, standing dozens of zhang away, looking at this side from afar,

Li Shimin suddenly smiled bitterly, and also looked at this person with an apologetic face.

The eldest grandson Wuji first shook his head and signaled that it was okay. Then he hugged his fist at him and raised a finger again, which was sign language, hoping that he would have a safe journey.

Li Shimin has been with the dumb servants at home for several years, so he knows a little bit about sign language. He didn't expect his brother-in-law to be so knowledgeable.

At this time, Li Shimin didn't notice that on his side, Yang Ying, who was still riding his horse and standing in front of the palace gate, was looking at his back with reluctance.

"Don't worry, princess, this time Li Yitong will definitely go and come back quickly. ”

Yang Ying's side, the eunuch surnamed Zhuang cautiously persuaded: "Half a month later, it will be the wedding date of Lord Yitong." So in ten days at most, Li Yitong will definitely return to Luoyang?"

"Wedding?"

Yang Ying's willow eyebrows raised slightly, and then murmured: "Then it's better not to come back for the time being." ”

When Zhuang Zhang's face changed slightly, he immediately straightened up, and only did not hear Yang Ying's words.
