Chapter 231: Chai Shao has arrived
As Cheng Yanjin said, Qin Qiong's name is not small in the Central Plains and Shandong.
This time, Qin's mother's 60th birthday, there are not a few people who come from all over the world to congratulate her birthday. Among them, there are three religions and nine streams, and there are all kinds of characters. Among them, the most noble identity is none other than Luo Cheng, the prince of Beiping.
In addition to Luo Cheng, there is also a team of people whose identities are also extraordinary. This is the envoy sent by Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang Guogong, led by his son-in-law and accompanied by his young son.
"Brother-in-law, how long will it take to arrive in this city?" The immature young man wiped his sweat, looked at Chai Shao on the side, and said with a little tiredness.
Chai Shao looked at the young man, and also showed a wry smile, he said: "Shimin, you said that you are so hard, come to the city with me, this long journey along the way, you know how hard it is."
This young man is Li Yuan's second son, Li Shimin. Li Shimin listened to Qin Chai Shao's words, and did not refute, but said unusually calmly: "Brother-in-law said that it was funny, although it was hard along the way, Shimin could still bear it."
Chai Shao looked at Li Shimin with some surprise, I have to say that he also felt that this brother-in-law was very unusual, and he showed extraordinary maturity and calmness at a young age.
Of course, no matter what, Li Shimin is just a teenager at the moment. Chai Shao nodded slightly and continued: "I've been walking for almost a month, and I guess I'll be there in two more days."
Li Shimin listened to it and didn't say much, but watched the scenery along the way with great interest. I have to say that although various conditions were limited in ancient times, there was nothing to say about the scenery.
Li Shimin's performance made Chai Shao laugh dumbly, and his brother-in-law often had surprising and unexpected actions. Obviously, Fang Fang was still so tired, but he was energetic again at this moment.
These episodes on the road were naturally nothing, and the group continued to move forward, walking for two days, and finally resisted Licheng.
Although Li Shimin is different from ordinary people, he is still a child after all, and when he sees that he has finally arrived at his destination, he can't help but show excitement and joy.
"This is Jinan Licheng, which is very different from Taiyuan." Li Shimin said with some surprise: "How is the surprise of the customs and customs along the way so big?"
Chai Shao nodded and responded: "That's natural, after all, Jinan and Taiyuan are also thousands of miles apart, and it's normal to have surprises." If you want to compare, you will know when you go to Jiangnan in the future. ”
"Gangnam?" Li Shimin's eyes lit up, and he said to Chai Shao: "Then when I have a chance in the future, my brother-in-law will take me to Jiangnan to have a look!"
Chai Shao smiled helplessly and agreed casually, he didn't want to regret it, but he felt that at least for a long time, Li Shimin would not have such an opportunity.
Li Shimin looked at the city of Licheng, his eyes were shining, and he asked Chai Shao again: "Is Engong in this city, can Shimin see Engong later?"
Regarding Li Shimin's question, Chai Shao directly smiled and affirmed: "That's natural, Uncle Brother Yang Guang is in Licheng." But see you later, don't lose your manners. ”
Li Shimin hurriedly nodded and said, "Brother-in-law, don't worry, Shimin knows that nothing will go wrong."
Li Shimin's serious appearance made Chai Shao smile easily. This child is not very old, but he is like a little adult, and his future achievements will be very extraordinary!
Li Shimin's achievements are certainly extraordinary, after all, he is also a chosen son. Although later generations did not have a good opinion of him, from his cavalry to the completion of Zhenguan's rule, Li Shimin's ability is undoubted.
How can such a character who can be called an emperor of the ages have achieved ordinary achievements? Of course, in this life, there is Luo Cheng. The Chosen Son is here, and it is uncertain whether Li Shimin can be the same as before.
Of course, these things are not on their radar at the moment. Chai Shao looked at the city of Licheng and said to Li Shimin: "Shimin, I will send someone to the city to inform you first, you and I will wait here first!"
Li Shimin looked at Licheng and nodded slightly, looking quite expectant.
In Licheng County.
Qin Qiong was in the office, and suddenly someone came to report that Tang Guogong's envoy had arrived outside the city, Qin Qiong was suddenly a little surprised, he didn't expect that Li Yuan would also send someone over.
For Qin Qiong, most of the people he invited were friends from the rivers and lakes, as well as relatives like Luo Cheng. Like Li Yuan, who had a tight relationship with him, he did not take the initiative to invite, it can be said that Li Yuan sent people, and it was completely uninvited.
This was indeed Li Yuan's plan, after he learned the news of Qin's mother's birthday, he immediately asked people to prepare a generous gift and let Chai Shao take people there. Rushing to Licheng at this moment naturally made Qin Qiong a little surprised.
Of course, Li Yuan sent someone over, with good intentions, Qin Qiong was naturally happy. Someone congratulated him, this is a good thing, Qin Qiong naturally will not refuse.
Speaking of his acquaintance with Li Yuan, it is also a legendary story. At the beginning, Li Yuan offended Yang Guang in the imperial court, and was messed up by Yang Guang, so he resigned from Beijing.
On the way, Yang Guang sent people to design an ambush. At that time, Qin Qiong happened to be working nearby, and when he saw that the thieves were bullying the few with more and less, he entered it with weapons and saved Li Yuan's family.
At this time, Li Yuan's wife was pregnant, and the fetus was Li Shimin at this moment. Qin Qiong's shot was just right, and he didn't ask for credit, which can be said to make Li Yuan quite admired.
Li Yuan's attitude towards Qin Qiong was not only because of Qin Qiong's saving grace, but also because of Qin Qiong's extraordinary weaponry. Li Yuan was almost certain that Qin Qiong would definitely not be an ordinary person in the future.
Since Chai Shaodu sent someone to inform him, Qin Qiong naturally would not slack off, he hurriedly took a few of his subordinates and went to the city gate to greet him.
In Chengfu Temple, Qin Qiong had seen Chai Shao, and at this moment, he recognized it from afar. Qin Qiong saw Chai Shao and shouted happily: "Brother Chai, it's been hard along the way."
Chai Shao also smiled and said: "Brother Uncle Bao is polite, this uncle's birthday, my father-in-law specially ordered Chai Shao to prepare some gifts to congratulate."
When Qin Qiong heard this, she nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "That's really tiring, this is not the place to talk, you guys should follow me into the city first!"
Qin Qiong's eyes swept away, and suddenly saw Li Shimin who was looking at him with curious eyes on the side, Qin Qiong was also a little surprised, he smiled and said, "Could this be the son of Duke Tang?"
Li Shimin hurriedly bowed his hand and said to Qin Qiong very seriously: "Engong, I am Li Shimin, the second son of Tang Guogong, if it weren't for Engong to save me, I'm afraid Shimin's life would have been lost."
Qin Qiong was stunned when she heard this, and only after a while did she react, and said to Li Shimin: "It turned out to be the second son, I didn't expect that after a few years, the second son was already so old." There is no need to mention the past, it was all done by Qin Qiong. ”
Qin Qiong's words were just casual words, but inexplicably, they seemed to be full of force.
