The Wu Wangfu was almost completely busy, and it was only finished at dawn, and everyone was ready to go. Li Ke asked everyone to rest for an hour or two.

In fact, Qin Mubai was not busy, and some miscellaneous things were taken care of by his subordinates. He squinted for a while, took a nap, and went back to the Qin Mansion to say goodbye to his family at dawn.

Qin Shubao still got up early in the backyard to practice martial arts and horseback riding, and he was already sweating like rain. Qin Mubai came to the backyard to find him and told him about going to Jiangzhou.

"That's fine, you can leave Chang'an for the time being!" Qin Shubao didn't say much, "As a father, I just want to remind you that Jingguan doesn't have any sense of superiority when he is outside. Those state and county officials have been together for a long time, and they are deeply entangled with each other, and they are also very powerful from outside. Although they were respectful and obedient to the people from the court on the surface, they also had a way to deal with it in private. People in officialdom have their own ways of survival and official skills, which are not easy to deal with. You are going out on an errand with Li Ke this time, representing the dignity of the royal family, so you must pay attention everywhere and don't make mistakes. ”

"The child can save the father's peace of mind." Qin Mubai answered the words, and talked to Qin Shubao about the idea of taking the demon girl and those orphan girls to live at home.

Qin Shubao thought for a moment and nodded: "Yes." For his father, how can he sit idly by and watch the pure and virtuous name of this demon girl be tarnished by a prodigal son like Han Wang Yuanchang? Bring her and the orphans! Although the Qin Mansion is small, it can still accommodate them. Although his father is incompetent, the Han King Yuanchang does not have the courage to dare to go to the Qin Mansion of the Halberd Twelve. Sheltering orphan girls is a great thing to do for heaven. Your mother and sister and I have nothing to do, but we can also help the demon girl take care of those orphan girls. ”

"Thank you, father!" Qin Mubai was relieved. Unexpectedly, my father usually always looks cold and arrogant, but he is so kind and full of justice in his heart. With him, you can rest assured!

In fact, Li Shimin has always treated his old ministers very well, even if he is an old hero who has "taken a back seat", Li Shimin has never ignored it, let alone done anything to "unload the mill and kill the donkey". Zhenguan once had dozens of heroes who founded the country, and later there were twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, who were famous in later generations, which are all powerful explanations.

It is precisely because of emperors like Li Shimin that the founding heroes of the Tang Dynasty did not "fly the birds with good bows, hide the cunning rabbits, and cook the dead lackeys", but became more noble. Although some people have soared to the top of the throne (such as Fang Xuanling, the eldest grandson Wuji, etc.), and some people have gradually declined and faded out of the stage (Qin Shubao is the representative), but as long as the emperor Li Shimin is alive, these founding heroes will never be forgotten by people, nor will they become a vulnerable group to be slaughtered by others.

Moreover, Emperor Li Shimin has always been the most disgusted by the people of the royal family who oppress the ministers, fish and the people. If there is such a thing, instead of protecting his shortcomings, he will be more strict with the requirements of the members of the royal family, and he will implement double standards.

Therefore, although Li Yuanchang, the king of the Han Dynasty, was rampant in Chang'an City because of the favor of the first emperor Gaozu, he did not have the courage to provoke a founding father like Qin Shubao. Otherwise, if the emperor knows and doesn't ask who is right and who is wrong, the emperor will definitely make fun of Li Yuanchang first.

Later, Qin Mubai said goodbye to his mother and sister again, roughly packed up at home, and after a simple salute, he was ready to go to King Wu's mansion and go out with most of the people. Before leaving, Qin Mubai handed over the affairs of his family to his sister Shuang'er. Although I haven't lived in this new home for one night, it's still a home, although the sparrows are small, and there are a few people in the whole house to manage. Yiying's money, belongings, and contract books are now handed over to the little butler Frost to take care of.

Shuang'er was a little reluctant to let Qin Mubai leave, and on the other hand, she was a little proud and happy: "Hehe! In the days when the third brother is away, I will be the eldest master of your family! I'll go to your house and take care of it whenever I have free time. By the way, I'm going to take the demon and those little girls to your house to play. Toss as much as you love! ”

Qin Mubai shook his head and smiled: "It's up to you." As long as it doesn't burn it, it's done. ”

Mother Liu smiled and patted Shuang'er's head: "You wild girl!" Your brother asked you to help take care of it, not for you to be a blessing. By the way, if the demon girls are here, they can't get used to living here, so invite them to live with your brother. Anyway, your brother is not at home now, and the house is empty. Your Daddy...... He's too serious. As a mother, I am worried about the demons, they are restrained and unaccustomed. ”

"Got it, mother!" Shuang'er snickered happily, "If we go to my brother's house, we will really be free!" Nobody cares! ”

Qin Mubai shook his head helplessly and smiled: "There are no tigers and monkeys in the mountains to be kings." Okay, I'm leaving. Take care, little sister! ”

Later, Qin Mubai arrived at King Wu's mansion, and everyone was already having breakfast, so they were ready for a while. Qin Mubai put on his horse and walked in the front with Li Ke, leading an army of hundreds of people to drive out of the palace and onto Chang'an Avenue.

"Mu Bai, let's go to the West Market and Suzaku Street." Li Ke said.

"Understood." Qin Mubai smiled knowingly. Li Ke's intention is obvious, leaving Chang'an from King Wu's mansion, in fact, taking Jinguangmen, yes. But he deliberately wanted to bypass the West Market and Suzaku Street, undoubtedly to let more people know that he Li Ke was ordered to travel and re-enter the stage.

Sure enough, the citizens of Chang'an all looked forward to this well-equipped team from afar. Li Ke was dressed in a formal purple deer dragon pro-dynasty uniform, wearing a three-beam Jinxian crown, with a graceful and chic appearance, and walked in the front. Qin Mubai was wearing a golden armor unicorn robe, hanging a treasure knife at his waist, and he was still holding the Qin family's "Tiger Head Chisel Golden Gun" that was eight feet long and weighed dozens of catties, and was displayed for the first time, and it was majestic and dazzling.

Behind the two of them is Li Ke's "Tang Dynasty Wu Wang" banner and the Qilin battle flag dedicated to the hundred horses, whether it is the hundred horsemen or the private soldiers of the Wu Palace, all the same high-headed horses, high-grade bright light armor and scarlet robes.

It is difficult for such a team of people to walk on the street without pulling the wind.

Seeing them coming from afar, the citizens consciously flashed their way, and a whisper of discussion sounded in the crowd of onlookers on both sides.

"That's King Wu, right? It's been a long time since I've seen him so swaggering. Where are you going to go this time? ”

"It should be ordered to travel on an errand, otherwise it wouldn't be so public. Last time, I heard that he was demoted to the post of governor and returned to Chang'an to reflect on himself behind closed doors, it should have been more than half a year, right? Now it's back on the table. ”

"It is said that the King of Wei and the crown prince are fighting openly and secretly, and everyone wants to forget about King Wu. I didn't expect him to come out of the mountain again...... This Chang'an city is going to be more lively again! ”

"Hey, isn't that a hundred horses? This time, King Wu sent a hundred horsemen to accompany him, it seems that he is going to do big things! It seems that the emperor has not forgotten King Wu, and he actually sent his own personal guards to him. We haven't heard of such preferential treatment for the crown prince or the king of Wei! ”

……

The group did not walk fast, and in Chang'an City, it can be said that they were swaggering through the city and deliberately scenery. Qin Mubai secretly thought in his heart that Li Ke was announcing his "high-profile return" to everyone. In the past half a year, his palace has been as quiet as stagnant water, and there has not been any waves, it seems that he is a little unbearable and lonely. Moreover, the ministers who had been friendly with him in the past all left him when he was in trouble, and each turned to the crown prince or the king of Wei, which may have made him a little annoyed. Now, deliberately showing off like this has the meaning of slapping them in the face. Or they have shown their banner and intend to recruit another group of people to come back and re-serve.

It seems that Li Ke is not as he himself said, he is really willing to "be a prince of peace", in fact, he is still a little ambitious.

After leaving the Mingde Gate, Li Ke breathed a sigh of relief, the expression on his face was quite soothing, as if he was letting go of a big stone in his heart, as if he was happy and relieved.

"Mu Bai, do you know what kind of mood I am in now?" Li Ke asked suddenly.

Qin Mubai smiled and said, "The spring breeze is proud. ”

"Neither nor not!" Li Ke took a long breath again and said, "I feel like I have suddenly regained my freedom after being locked in a cage for a long time. I haven't breathed the air outside Chang'an City for a while, and I haven't seen this magnificent mountain or river. Just now, I raised my eyes to look at the city of Chang'an and the eight hundred miles of Qinchuan, which was really refreshing and refreshing, and my spirit was lifted. ”

"When the fish enter the sea and the birds fly to the sky, that's probably the case." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Your Highness, this is a rare opportunity. We must do the best in this Jiangzhou errand. And it should be done well, if there is a slight mistake, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

"I understand." Li Ke wrinkled his brows and said, "There is no fairness in the world. Some people do wrong things all their lives, but as long as they do one thing right, they will always be right; Some people have been doing good deeds all their lives, but if they only do one wrong, then they will always be wrong. Mu Bai, you and I are probably the last type of people. ”

"That's true." Qin Mubai chuckled and replied: Li Ke finally vented the dissatisfaction in his heart. He's insinuating too much Li Chengqian, right? This person is inactive and unscrupulous, but because he is the first son born to the eldest grandson queen, he became the prince indisputably. He, Li Ke, is recognized as the most emperor-like and the most capable prince, but because he is a concubine, he is destined to be born and basically has no chance with the prince. If he wants to "compete for the crown", his own bloodline and background alone is an almost insurmountable mountain.

He was right to compare me to someone of his kind. Baiqi to put it bluntly, the bodyguards are doing well, it should be, the emperor and the members of the imperial family are safe, and the work can be regarded as in place. But it only takes one mistake to make it irreversible. This time, he didn't take the initiative to make a mistake, but because of Princess Gaoyang's "blame", he stepped into a dangerous situation, which shows that his seemingly infinite scenery is actually a thankless and high-risk job.

"Your Highness, General Qin, the disaster is like fire, let's go!" Quan Wanji stepped forward and said.

"Anyway, let's talk about it - the king of Chuanben ordered the rush of Jiangzhou Fire to advance!"
