At the end of summer, I chirped hard in the last bit of summer heat. Under the shade of the trees, groups of richly dressed soldiers passed by.

Today is the day of the royal safari. Members of the royal family, the civil and military capitals of the Manchu Dynasty gathered in the hunting grounds in the southern suburbs to participate in a five-day hunt.

The roads the army had walked had long since been poured into the streets, and the streets were deserted until they left the city. And the official road outside the city has long been controlled by officers and soldiers, every five meters there are two soldiers standing guard opposite each other, as far as the eye can see, the entire official road is standing guard soldiers, the defense must be strict.

After the soldiers who opened the road passed, behind them were one magnificent carriage after another. Because they are all royal carriages, they all have the same shape, so people can't tell which one belongs to Li Shimin. This was also a common means used by the emperor to travel.

The hunting ground in the southern suburbs has long been surrounded by large legions, and there are soldiers on duty inside and out, and even every inch of land in the hunting ground has been checked by soldiers, and only after confirming that it is safe can the ministers be allowed to enter.

In the face of such a big battle today, the ministers began to mumble in their hearts one by one, thinking to themselves What is wrong with Your Majesty, just hunting, as for such a big show? However, none of the ministers dared to raise this objection, and only followed the crowd silently. It's okay to do your own thing, as for how Your Majesty arranges it, what right do they have to raise objections?

However, some careful ministers found that there seemed to be a few fewer people among the ministers participating in the safari today, and after asking each other, they learned that Li Ke, the king of Wu, failed to come because of illness, and Chen Fei and Cheng Yanjin didn't know why they didn't come.

Chen Fei didn't say anything about it, just Cheng Biting Jin's temperament, when he encountered such a day of hunting, I am afraid that he would have been excited like a monkey for a long time, but he didn't come today, and he didn't hear that he was sick, and his absence today was even more surprising than the sun coming out of the west.

Cheng Yanjin didn't deliberately not participate in the safari, but last night, he was temporarily assigned a task by Li Shimin: lead the army to secretly protect everyone in the hunting ground, and strictly search the surroundings of Chang'an City.

Originally, Cheng Yanjin was quite puzzled when he received this order, he didn't know about the mine theft case, and thought that Li Shimin deliberately didn't let him go on a safari, and after returning home, he scolded for a long time, and this morning he went to the city defense camp with a stomach full of anger and ordered 20,000 people. However, after meeting Chen Fei in the military camp and understanding the reason for the incident, Cheng Yanjin finally stopped being depressed. He realizes that what he is about to face is most likely a premeditated assassination! Or even ...... Conspiracy!

The 20,000 soldiers and horses were divided into several teams by Cheng Yanjin. The maximum of 10,000 people, led by Cheng Yanjin himself, was stationed less than three miles from the hunting ground. The remaining 10,000 people were divided into dozens of teams and searched in a carpet search around Chang'an City.

Several children of the Cheng family, as long as they were at home, were pulled out to lead the team to search, and Chen Fei also led a team of dozens of people. However, he didn't search alone, but found Cheng Chumo, both soft and hard, and he had to follow Cheng Chumo.

Cheng Chumo thought that it would be boring to lead the team to search alone, so he agreed to Chen Fei's request. The two men walked side by side, their soldiers scattered, vigilantly watching the movements around them.

Chen Fei intentionally or unintentionally led the direction of the team, and it didn't take long for the group to walk out of the boundary of Chang'an City and come to a certain forest periphery in the southwest.

Cheng Chumo saw that the big guy had walked a lot of way, and had already walked out of the boundary of Chang'an City, and he didn't find anything along the way, so he relaxed his vigilance and asked the soldiers to dismount and go to the forest to rest and escape the heat.

The soldiers all tied their horses to the trees, but Chen Fei sat down on the spot with the rope in hand.

Cheng Chumo was happy when he saw Chen Fei's appearance, walked up to him, sat down, and said with a smile: "Ah Fei, why is this horse rope not tied to a tree but held in his own hand, aren't you afraid that we won't be able to rob your horse?" ”

Chen Fei smiled and didn't speak, but his heart was a little out of place, he looked left and right from time to time, as if he was waiting for something.

Cheng Chumo thought that Chen Fei was stupid by the sun, so he threw him a kettle and didn't say anything, just pillowed himself on the trunk of the tree and closed his eyes.

In the depths of this forest, a private army of tens of thousands silently assembled in the school field. Standing in front of all the soldiers was a man they were strangers to, but who had to obey. Because from a few years ago, these soldiers entered here, and now, they are all for this person, for this person to give an order, and then give their lives!

Li Ke stood in front of the soldiers, looking at this magnificent army, he showed a satisfied smile. He's not like his two stupid brothers. Nothing was planned, and they hurriedly rebelled, and finally ended up in a tragic end. Especially his brother, Li Chengqian, is even more ridiculous in his opinion. As a prince, he still rebelled? It's just stupid! He deserves to die in Lingnan!

And he ....... He seems to have been born to rebel! From the first outing, he began to plot to form an army of his own, and then ...... Replace his indifferent father!

How many years? It seems like fifteen years, right? Fifteen years of forbearance, fifteen years of caution, finally God opened his eyes, and today, he will usher in the best chance to win the throne! And these armies are his capital!

He looked at the soldiers on the school ground, and the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he felt. These people, I'm afraid they won't be able to lose the upper hand if they pull out and fight the Praetorian Guard, right?

"Everyone obeyed the order, and in two quarters of an hour, they gathered with the other three armies at the Land Temple five miles west of the hunting ground in the southern suburbs, and there must be no mistake! Let's go! ”

The soldier in charge of the order hurriedly passed on Li Ke's order, and after receiving the order, the soldier did not have a trace of superfluous nonsense, changed formation in silence, and then followed his commander and walked out of the barracks.

The more Li Ke looked at this army, the more he liked it, if he became the emperor, he must replace this army with the current Praetorian Guard!

The army walked out of the barracks in an orderly manner, and for the vast majority of people, it was the first time they had walked out of the barracks since they entered the barracks. What will greet them? Death or glory? Nobody knows.

Within two quarters of an hour, we rushed from here to the land temple on the west side of the hunting ground, the time was very tight, and the officers in front ordered to adjust the formation, originally everyone walked along a small road, but at this time, in order to hurry, there was not so much attention. The soldiers walked in the woods and walked out side by side.

Just as they adjusted their formation and walked out less than two miles, a soldier accidentally kicked something, and then ........

"Boom!" A small mushroom cloud has risen!
