Father-in-law Qiu stretched out his hand to take the envelope, and saw that it was sealed with wax oil, and Father-in-law Qiu carefully put the letter in his arms and said, "Master Hou, do you have any other instructions?" Han Laohu shook his head and said, "There are no other orders!" ”

"Trouble General"

"How dare you, this is all within the responsibility of the lower officials!"

After Han Laohu replied, he clasped his fists with both hands and said, "Now that the task of the lower official has been completed, I will return to the county, and I will talk about the old days in my father-in-law!" ”

Gonggong Qiu also replied with a salute and said, "The general is busy with his own affairs."

After Han Laohu clenched his fists with both hands, he pulled the reins of his horse and headed towards the county with fifty ghost king troops. After the people on the street saw them, they couldn't help but hide far away, and saw the marks on their bodies from afar, revealing a yearning look, this is the ghost king army of the unequaled marquis!

In one night, Su Bai's name was known to everyone in Chang'an, and everyone knew it! All the people of Chang'an know that the eleven-year-old boy captured Jieli Khan alive and was personally named the Marquis of Wushuang by Li Shimin! became the youngest marquis in the history of the Tang Dynasty!

After all, Gonggong Qiu was old and couldn't walk fast, and it took more than ten minutes to walk back to the East Palace, Li Chengqian was still lying on the sickbed, holding a book in his hand and flipping through it, and behind him stood the palace maids beside the two queens.

After Gonggong Qiu walked into the East Palace, Li Chengqian asked softly, "But my ugly cow brother has something to say?" Gonggong Qiu nodded, and then took out the letter in his arms and said, "Your Highness, the unequaled marquis has a letter."

Li Chengqian hurriedly said, "Hurry up and bring it!" When Gonggong Qiu heard this, he slowly walked in front of Li Chengqian, but his eyes seemed to glance at the two palace maids inadvertently, and the two palace maids naturally understood what this meant, and gave Li Chengqian a salute at the moment, so he slowly retired.

Li Chengqian didn't stop him when he saw it, and only after the two palace maids went out did Li Chengqian smile and said, "You old thing, you don't need to be so careful", and Gonggong Qiu said with a serious face, "Your Highness!" The heart of defense is indispensable! ”

Li Chengqian nodded with a smile and said, "Just leave these things to you, with you here, this palace can rest assured!" While speaking, Li Chengqian took the envelope in Gonggong Qiu's hand, tore it lightly, took out the letter inside, and after looking at it twice, Li Chengqian's eyes suddenly widened, his breathing became short, and he sat up straight all of a sudden, as if he wanted to stand up.

Gonggong Qiu hurriedly pressed Li Chengqian and said, "Your Highness! Your Highness! Master Hou has instructed before, it's better for you to stand up less! ”

Li Chengqian laughed when he heard this, and didn't say anything, but tears came out of his eyes! The hand was also loosened, and the letter fell to the ground, and Gonggong Qiu looked over curiously, and saw that the letter read, "Please go to the county Your Highness, and within ten days, the injured leg will heal!" ”

Gonggong Qiu was also stiff on the spot at the moment, and he couldn't care about stopping Li Chengqian. Without any obstruction, Li Chengqian stood directly on the sickbed, and didn't care about the pain of hurting his leg, and laughed wildly.

The laughter passed out of the East Palace, and the two palace maids who had just walked out of the palace gate turned their heads curiously, and one of them said, "Sister, what's wrong with His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”

Another palace maid said cautiously, "Don't ask, don't talk nonsense!" This is the East Palace, I didn't say a word, but I was going to lose my head! The little palace maid stuck out her tongue slightly, looking very playful and cute.

Although Gonggong Qiu was also excited, he could know the measure, and seeing Li Chengqian smiling so happily, he gently came to Li Chengqian's side and made a small gesture. Li Chengqian grew up beside Gonggong Qiu since he was a child, and the two are so familiar that they can know what the other party is thinking with a single look.

Now seeing Gonggong Qiu's gesture, Li Chengqian subconsciously stopped his laughter and looked at Gonggong Qiu with some puzzlement.

Father-in-law Qiu picked up the letter on the ground, brought it to Li Chengqian and said, "Your Highness, this matter still needs to be concealed", Li Chengqian looked at the letter in Father-in-law Qiu's hand, and also understood, indeed, it can't be exposed yet! I really lost my temper just now.

But this can't be blamed on Li Chengqian, if anyone with a disabled leg hears the news that he will be cured in ten days, who can calm down? It is not easy for Li Chengqian to calm down so quickly!

At the same time, he also understood what Gonggong Qiu meant, and the letter said that he asked him to go to the county for treatment of his leg disease, obviously because he didn't want the people in Chang'an to see anything abnormal, which naturally meant that he couldn't leak the news.

Thinking that his leg injury would heal in ten days, he couldn't wait to put on his wings and fly to the county now!

Gonggong Qiu didn't have anything abnormal on the surface, but his hands trembled, obviously this news had a very big impact on him! Li Chengqian thought about it, and couldn't help but stand up and say, "Let's go, accompany the palace to ask my father for peace!" ”

After thinking about it, Gonggong Qiu understood Li Chengqian's plan, as the crown prince, leaving the palace is naturally not a trivial matter, and he must report to Li Shimin. But the Marquis of Wushuang asked His Royal Highness to go to the county to heal, that is, the people who don't want Chang'an to know, so Your Majesty, is he also among these people?

Gonggong Qiu shook his head fiercely, and let himself try not to think about these things, now His Majesty is still Your Majesty, and it is not for him to criticize!

Gonggong Qiu agreed, carefully helped Li Chengqian to the ground, let Li Chengqian wrap his arms around his shoulders, supported Li Chengqian's weight, and walked in the direction of Taiji Palace step by step.

Li Chengqian's appearance naturally attracted a lot of palace maids and eunuchs to watch, since Li Chengqian was lame, he rarely went out, and it lasted until the Wushuang Marquis returned to Beijing, before he could see His Royal Highness the Prince, just like that, he almost didn't leave the East Palace.

Now looking at the direction of the prince's going, it should be to the Taiji Palace, and everyone is guessing what happened to the Taiji Palace to let the prince go overnight.

Outside the Taiji Palace, Li Chengqian was fine, but he felt that the wound was a little painful, but Gonggong Qiu was already sweating all over, although Li Chengqian was only eleven years old this year, but the ancients developed relatively early, Li Chengqian already had a height of one meter six, more than one hundred and ten catties, this weight was pressed on Gonggong Qiu, and it was enough for this old eunuch to drink a pot.

The palace maids and eunuchs at the entrance of the palace naturally knew Li Chengqian, and they saluted one after another, "See His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

Li Chengqian smiled and said, "No need to be polite, go and report to the palace, the palace wants to see my father!" ”

"Yes"

The eunuch outside the door agreed, turned around and entered the Taiji Palace, and it didn't take two minutes for the little eunuch to come out and say, "Your Highness, Your Majesty will let you in."

Li Chengqian nodded with a smile, and with the support of Gonggong Qiu, he walked into the Taiji Palace. As soon as I walked in, I saw Li Shimin coming out, and when I saw Li Chengqian, I couldn't help frowning and said, "Qian'er, your legs are not good yet, what are you moving?" ”

Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Don't you want to come to ask your father for peace", after Li Shimin heard this, his face softened, but he still said seriously, "Haven't you seen it today, besides, I also know your body, even if you don't come to ask for peace, I won't blame you"

Hearing this, Li Chengqian's face darkened obviously, as if he was affected by Li Shimin's sentence just now; 'I also know that your body' hurts. Li Shimin also felt that he seemed to have said the wrong thing, and hurriedly defended, "Qian'er, you know my father's emperor, my father didn't mean that just now."

Li Chengqian smiled bitterly and said, "Father, it's okay, you're right, my body is indeed not as good as before", and looked at his legs in despair after speaking. Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian's expression, and couldn't help but feel that his heart was pumping, and suddenly it hurt badly.

This is his favorite son, he is lame like this, is it possible that Li Shimin is not distressed? His heart is fleshy, too!

Li Shimin grabbed Li Chengqian's hand and said, "Qian'er, don't worry, my father will definitely find a way to heal your leg!" Li Chengqian smiled bitterly and said, "Father, don't waste your strength, this is all providence."

Gonggong Qiu endured it below, and secretly said that His Royal Highness has grown up really fast, and now he won't blush when he lies in front of Li Shimin!

Li Shimin couldn't help but feel even more distressed after hearing this, in fact, in history, Li Chengqian was very liked by Li Shimin, and it was not until he was lame and his personality began to change that Li Shimin doted on Li Tai!

And all this, in Li Chengqian's eyes, is that his father intends to change the store! He was naturally unwilling, and later simply made his father's rebellion!

Fortunately, everything that should have happened was quietly changed under the wings of Su Bai's little butterfly.

The corners of Li Chengqian's mouth outlined a wry smile, looked at Li Shimin and said softly, "Father, the son has not been out of the palace for a long time, this time the Wushuang Marquis came back, the son has not spoken to him properly, I hope that the father can give the son a few days of vacation, let the son visit the Wushuang Marquis"

Li Shimin subconsciously shook his head and said, "If you want to chat with Wenqu, I will send a decree to pass him into Beijing", Li Chengqian shook his head lightly and said, "Erchen hasn't been out of the palace for a long time, and he also wants to relax."

Li Shimin still wanted to refuse, but after seeing Li Chengqian's eager expression, he couldn't say anything about refusal.

After thinking about it, he nodded lightly and said, "Okay, then you can go and relax for two days, I will give you a hundred Xuanwei!" It's enough to protect your safety", Li Chengqian hurriedly saluted, "Thank you, father!" ”

Father-in-law Qiu secretly celebrated, and his heart said, it was a success!

Early in the morning of the second day, Li Chengqian was followed by ten cavalrymen, sitting in a carriage, heading in the direction of the county, walking very low-key, and even the prince's chariot was not prepared, using ordinary carriages.

Although there are only ten people behind him, as long as you look carefully, you will find that in the jungle on both sides, there are figures flashing from time to time, and those are Xuanwei, protecting in secret!

As soon as Li Chengqian left the palace, Li Tai had already received the news that he had the support of the family's intelligence network behind him, even more detailed than Xuanwei! Such a big thing as the prince's departure from the palace is naturally not something that can be easily concealed.

Li Tai's heart is moved! This is a great opportunity! If Li Chengqian died! Then the position of the crown prince can only be his own! As soon as this idea came out, it was as if a seed of ambition had sprouted and gradually grown into a big tree!

Just when he was about to make up his mind to do it, suddenly there was a knock on the door, and his heart was immediately vented. I don't have the courage to make that decision anymore.

Unconsciously, he actually broke out in a cold sweat.

He gritted his teeth at the moment and said softly, "Count the two of you fate!" ”

"Come in!" Li Tai breathed two sighs of relief, relieved his mood, and then said a word to the outside world.

As soon as Li Tai's voice fell, the door was opened outside, and a big man walked in. Li Tai nodded slightly, and then said softly, "Wang Hu, there is something I want to leave to you!" ”

The big man named Wang Hu knelt down on one knee and said, "But according to the king's orders!" Li Tai nodded and said, "You have some status in the rivers and lakes, I want you to find some people to kill someone!" ”

Wang Hu raised his head and said, "Who is the prince going to kill?" ”

Li Tai's eyes slowly became cold, and he said, "Wushuang Hou! ”

Wang Hu's eyes widened suddenly, he never thought that the person Li Tai wanted to kill was actually Wushuang Hou! Li Tai looked at his expression and asked softly, "What?" Is there a problem? After Wang Hu swallowed a mouthful of saliva, he suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "If there was no prince to save my life!" I, Wang Hu, have long been dead on the streets, and now I should return this life to the prince! ”

Li Tai nodded with satisfaction and said, "This time the assassination will be successful no matter what, if it fails!" Li Tai's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and Wang Hu clasped his fists with both hands and said, "Don't worry, prince!" It must be successful, otherwise Wang will come to see you! ”

Li Tai nodded and said, "Go ahead", Wang Hu clenched his fists again and turned to leave.

At this moment, both of them understood that no matter whether they succeeded or failed this time, Wang Hu was dead! succeeded, the Wushuang Marquis who Li Shimin had just rewarded died in an assassination, but if he could stab the sky, where could he go? Failed, not to mention.

Su Bai didn't know these things at all, and even if he knew, he was afraid that he wouldn't take it to heart, but it was only three, and Su Bai really couldn't do it? If it was Su Bai who came to Yin, it might not work, but if he played this kind of assassination method, Su Bai was really not afraid.

Not to mention anything else, now on the steamed bun mountain, there are many masters!

Since the last assassination incident, Wang Xiaobao has strengthened the defenses around Su Bai! Su Bai is traveling now, and on the surface, he is only following some knights of the Ghost King Army, but secretly there are many martial arts masters following.

Not to mention the steamed bun mountain, it is like an iron wall, even if Wang Xi comes in person, I am afraid that he will not be able to reach the top of the mountain silently.

When it was close to noon, Li Chengqian's carriage came to the county in a swaying manner.

Su Bai got the news in advance, and took the whole family to the foot of the steamed bun mountain to greet him personally.
