July 25.

Soldiers, food, grass, weapons and equipment, all the work before the war are ready, and the troops are about to be dispatched.

Outside the city, Li Xun galloped on horseback.

The army is going to go out tomorrow, these days, Li Xun has been practicing horseback riding outside the city, he has learned to ride a horse a few years ago, but this time out is not to play in the mountains and rivers, but to fight with the army, the speed and time of riding horses are not usually comparable, Li Xun is now riding this horse, is a cousin Zhao Xun gifted, it is said that it is from the Mobei grassland into the capital, and then Zhao Xun bought at a high price, this time I heard that Li Xun is also going to go with the army, so he gave this good horse to Li Xun.

The horse is a good horse, but it is also very wild, and it is not the same as those horses in the family that have been tamed, but after a few days of running-in and closeness, Li Xun can already control the fierce horse under him and use it freely.

After eating at home at noon, Li Mancang was worried, obviously he was worried about Li Xun's expedition, and Li Xun had to persuade the old man with good words on the side.

The father and son were talking, and someone from the palace summoned Li Xun into the palace.

"Old man, my aunt beckoned me to go, will you go?"

Li Mancang shook his head and sighed.

Li Xun smiled bitterly twice, feeling that the old man was thinking too much, didn't he just go out to play! What is there to worry about.

When they arrived at Changle Palace, not only their aunt Li Yi was there, but Zhao Zhi was also there, and below them, there were two eunuchs, Mu Gong Li Xun knew him, and another eunuch in his thirties was very strange and had never seen it.

"The dog kowtowed to the emperor's uncle and aunt."

Li Xun knelt on the ground and knocked his head a few times.

"Get up."

Zhao Zhi had a smile on his face, he liked Li Xun quite a lot, although Li Xun was a little vulgar, very arrogant, not highly educated, and often did words and things beyond etiquette, but it was with such a person that Zhao Zhi often recalled the civilian life in the past, and there would be some closeness in his heart.

Li Xun got up and said with a smile: "Uncle Emperor, what is the so-called matter of recruiting dogs?" ”

"It's not a big deal, the army will go out tomorrow, and I have a few words to explain to you."

Zhao Zhi said lightly: "When you get to the army, you must be cautious in your words and deeds, watch more and learn more, talk less, you can't act in the name of me, if there is any bad violation of discipline into my ears, even if your aunt intercedes, I will never spare it." ”

Li Xun bowed his hand and said solemnly: "The words of the emperor's uncle, the dog must remember it in his heart, and he does not dare to cross it in the slightest." ”

Zhao Zhi nodded, and at this time, a eunuch trotted in, bowed down and said, "Qiqi Sheng, all the ministers of the political hall have arrived at the Ming Zheng Palace. ”

"Yaya, I still have something to do, you talk to the dog."

Li Yi helped Zhao Zhi get up and watched the emperor leave.

"Dog, I'm going to go out with the army tomorrow, how do you feel in your heart?"

Li Yi waved his hand and asked Li Xun to sit down and speak.

Li Xun found a seat and sat down, and said with a smile: "Don't hide it from my aunt, I'm really nervous." ”

Li Yi smiled faintly and said: "General Anguo Huang Qian is a cautious and steady person, if you follow him, my aunt can be relieved." ”

"Auntie, what kind of position is this prison judge?"

Li Xun knew that the position of supervising the army was generally held by the senior eunuchs in the palace and the emperor's henchmen, as for the judge of the supervising army, Li Xun really heard of it for the first time.

Li Yi explained: "The prison army does not have any official rank, just a temporary position, but it has great power, and you have the right to supervise the leading generals and record rewards and punishments. ”

Li Yi finally advised: "You have to remember that the purpose of your trip is to go through the motions, and you don't need to make any effort, just stay honest in the army and wait until the war is over." ”

Li Xun nodded, inevitably a little disappointed in his heart, the judge of the prison army, the name sounds good, it turns out to be just a vain.

"The eunuch who just stood with Mu Gong is Liu Congxi, the supervisor of the Pingnan army this time is the emperor's henchman, you have to have a good relationship with him."

Li Xun was surprised: "I know most of the eunuchs around the emperor's uncle, since this person named Liu Congxi is the henchman of the emperor's uncle, why have I never seen it?" ”

"There's so much you don't know, what's all the fuss about."

Li Yi glared at Li Xun: "He used to supervise the salt road tax in Jiangnan, and he was just transferred back to the capital. ”

Li Xun didn't care about this, glanced at Li Yi, and said with a smile: "Auntie, this is about to go out with the army, my nephew doesn't have a decent piece of equipment yet, there are many good things in the palace, can you send me two!" ”

Li Yi smiled: "The judge of the prison is civilian, and he doesn't need to wear armor, you can wear plain clothes and bring a few changes of clothes to report directly to the barracks." ”

Li Xun smiled bitterly: "You have to have a weapon in your hand!" Otherwise, it is really awkward to be in the barracks with empty hands. ”

Li Yi glanced at Li Xun and said with a light smile: "What do you want, don't hide it." ”

Li Xun rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "Didn't the emperor's uncle have a sword to put here in his aunt's place!" Lend it to your nephew! ”

Zhao Zhi has a sword, named 'Dingtai' is here in Li Yi, the appearance is ordinary, and he is not very famous, it was originally awarded to Zhao Xun, the king of Qi, but Zhao Xun himself likes literature and dislikes martial arts, so he didn't ask for it, so he has been put in Changle Palace, and now since Li Xun wants it, Li Yi thought about it, and nodded in agreement.

When the Dingtai sword arrived, Li Xun was full of joy, and then took his leave and left.

Walking in the imperial city, Li Xun thought that he was going to leave tomorrow, and he didn't know how long it would take to come back, and he thought of Zhao Yue in his heart, and he saw her half a month ago.

"Xiao Lezi, please go to the Moon Princess's residence, and spread the word, just say that I am here, and ask her if she can meet."

Zhao Yue's residence of those royal ladies, Li Xun can't go, he is in the palace, only the Jinmo Palace and Changle Palace, you can enter and leave freely, and you must have a eunuch with you, in other places, with the approval of Emperor Zhao Zhi, wandering around at will, that is a big crime of disrespect, it is very serious.

Li Xun stood in place and waited, Zhao Yue lived in the depths of the palace, and it was not until half an hour later that Xiao Lezi returned: "Princess Yue has been sick recently, and when I went, the palace maid who was waiting said that Princess Yue had just taken medicine and fell asleep. ”

Li Xun shook his head and sighed, he suddenly felt that Zhao Yue was very pitiful, he had been weak since he was a child, because of his mother Yang Guifei, he was not loved by Zhao Zhi, and he didn't have any friends in the palace, so he lived alone.

There was nothing to say all night, the next day before dawn, Li Xun got up early, holding the Dingtai sword in his left hand, holding the BMW in his right hand, and walked towards the door in high spirits.
