Everyone was nervously looking at the mountain road ahead.

Although he had only just entered the Qinling Mountains, the surrounding environment was already very tight, and once he encountered the same number of enemies on such a mountain road, he would become a meat grinder-like existence. Unsure if there were other ambushes, Li Jing didn't even dare to rashly send someone to send the prince back the same way.

When did Li Dejian, who has been the eldest young master since he was a child, encounter such a battle, as early as when Li Jing made a move, he was scared and covered in sweat, but fortunately, he was full of thoughts, and he knew that he was desperately blocking in front of Li Chengqian.

Reluctantly pushed Li Dejian away, Li Chengqian clenched the long sword in his hand and stood up.

Damn, if there really is a team of killers in the Qinling Mountains, then the hundred cavalry divisions will be in vain!

Even if it is already some distance away from Chang'an, it is still at the feet of the Son of Heaven.

"Half of the archers loosen their strings, don't be nervous, those who come may not be enemies, don't hurt your own people by mistake. Wait for the Sky Monkey to come back first, this guy can't be caught. ”

Li Jing glanced at Li Chengqian, who stood up in surprise and was not trembling at all. From the day the Turks retreated, he had doubts, this prince, didn't he know how to write dead characters? No matter how calm a person is, it is impossible to be so calm in the moment of life and death.

Not to mention that he's just a kid!

Under the nervous gaze of more than 2,000 people, at the corner of the mountain road ahead, the Sky Monkey first cautiously poked his head, stretched out his hand and shook it a few times before exposing all his body and running all the way over.

"Misunderstanding and misunderstanding, it's your own people, it's your own people."

Hearing the explanation of the Sky Monkey, the archers in the second row still had no intention of disarming the defense.

When the Sky Monkey ran closer, Li Jing asked, "Who is coming?" ”

The Heavenly Monkey replied: "The eldest grandson Chong, the prince of Zhao Guo, the prince of Lu Guo, Cheng Chuhei and their generals. ”

"Eldest Sun Chong? Cheng Chuhei? What are these boys doing here? ”

Waving his hand, it was not until Li Jing gave the order that the team's vigilance was lifted. And the forbidden army team was only released under Yu Tai's order.

After confirming that the team was no longer murderous, the Sky Monkey went there as a "messenger" to deliver the news.

It didn't take long for figures to appear at the corners of the mountain road. In order to avoid misunderstanding, Changsun Chong also walked in the front and waved his hand.

After seeing Changsun Chong and confirming that the number of opponents was not very large, Li Jing ordered the soldiers to put their swords into their sheaths. has seen too many deceptions, and Li Jing will never easily lift the vigilance of his side.

There are not many people on Changsun Chong's side, there are more than 200 people, but they are all elites, and at a glance, they know that they are several of their respective generals.

The generals and retainers are the most important pillars of the traditional family. Unlike ordinary diners, the retainer's house is only allowed to be stored after the approval of the head of the family. The power of the retainers and generals is even higher than that of ordinary second-generation members.

Eldest Sun Chong is the eldest son, and his status is second only to that of Eldest Sun Wuji, so he is qualified to come out with his generals.

In order to avoid misunderstanding, Changsun Chong stepped forward very consciously alone: "Cheng Qian, I didn't expect to meet you here, it's almost the area of Lantian County." Wei Gong, I didn't expect you to be here. ”

Li Jing nodded, even if he finished saying hello.

Li Chengqian pushed away the two guards in front of him and said with a smile: "I thought I had met an assassin, but I didn't expect it to be my cousin." I don't know if my cousin came to this Qinling? ”

The eldest grandson Chong smiled and said: "It's not the old man at home who urged him, saying that my brother will stay at home all day after the New Year, and he won't grow at all, so he just let me go into the mountains to hunt animal skins for him to make mats." I thought about how boring it would be to go out alone, so I brought a few from other families with me. Come, let me introduce you. ”

Waving his hand at the team, seven more young men immediately came out and saluted Li Chengqian.

"Chi Baolin, the eldest son of the Duke of Eguo, Cheng Chuhei, the eldest son of the Duke of Lu, Li Chongye, the eldest son of the Prince of Hejian County, Chai Zhewei, the eldest son of the Duke of Qianguo, the second son Chai Lingwu, the eldest son of the Duke of Yiguo, Qin Huaidao, and the eldest son of the British Duke Li Zhen, are all good brothers, Chengqian, you didn't know each other before, but we met this time, how familiar and familiar we are."

Li Chengqian nodded and returned the salute one by one, especially Chai Zhewei and Chai Lingwu, these two guys are the children of Princess Pingyang Zhao and her aunt, and they are also his cousins.

These seven people have almost wiped out the second generation of the top bigwigs in the court.

With a wave of his hand, Changsun Chong asked the generals not to step forward, just outside the team led by the crown prince.

If you meet unexpectedly, it also depends on who you meet. Li Chengqian is the crown prince, and if they want to go with Li Chengqian, they can't go beyond it, otherwise they will be suspected of assassins.

Glancing at the harvest brought by the generals, Li Chengqian smiled: "It seems that you are unlucky, you have not hunted tigers and bears." ”

Changsun Chong said helplessly: "There is a royal hunting garden in Chang'an County, and it will be troublesome to pass by, so we chose to enter the mountain from Lantian County." But who would have thought that the Lantian County Commander was also a means, the beasts on the periphery of the Qinling Mountains were driven into the mountains by him with fireworks in the summer, and they didn't dare to come out even in winter. The terrain of the Qinling Mountains is complicated, and we didn't bring overnight supplies, so we are thinking about advancing along the periphery and going to the military camp by Weishui to join you. ”

Li Jing and Li Chengqian both nodded secretly, that's right, any hunting is an excuse, their real target is probably the Weishui military camp, or rather, Li Chengqian, the prince.

Otherwise, how could there be a full seven county kingdom princes, and the eldest son is not a cabbage, who dares to let it out to hunt casually?

looked at Li Dejian, Li Jing did not break their purpose, but said: "Since you are going to the barracks, come with us." However, you generals will be under the control of the old man until you leave the barracks, okay? ”

Chai Zhewei arched his hand and said: "Even if Duke Wei doesn't open his mouth, he will do this, and we will obey Duke Wei's dispatch!" ”

Li Jing did not shirk either, and directly ordered those generals to act as guards, and the prince personally led the rear team and the guards of the forbidden army to change the rear team to the front team and return along the original road.

With so many eldest sons here, Li Chengqian was embarrassed to continue to sit in the bamboo sedan chair, so he simply tore the hem of his clothes and walked with them.

But....

It is still too overestimated the endurance of an eight-year-old child, and after walking less than a quarter of the way, Li Chengqian was exhausted and needed to be carried by the eldest grandson Chong's family.

In comparison, these eldest sons, although they are only eleven or twelve years old, have much better physical fitness than him.

It's easy to enter the mountain and difficult to go back, but fortunately, Li Jing ordered people to make markers along the way, and it is much easier to get out of the mountain along the markers.

Before the sun set, the team returned to the Weishui barracks. Li Jing asked the soldiers to bring tents and the like, and asked the generals to set up camp at a distance from the barracks. Although the training equipment led by the prince is not top secret, it is still not something that anyone can see.
