Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Storm is Coming

PS: Ask for collection~~~

In the heart of the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Xuanba is a very shameless person, but he doesn't remember what shameless things Li Xuanba has done. In fact, Li Xuanba often inadvertently makes a little shameless, such as choosing a war horse.

Red Flame was undoubtedly the best of the captured war horses, and even in the entire camp, there was no better one than Red Flame.

A good horse with a brave general, Zhang Xutuo originally planned to wait for Luo Shixin to come back and give Chiyan to Luo Shixin.

Zhang Xutuo thought that Li Xuanba was just bored in the army and on a whim, so he thought of learning to ride a horse. Moreover, in Zhang Xutuo's opinion, although Li Xuanba is timid, after all, he is still quite knowledgeable, even if he is allowed to choose a war horse at will, it is impossible for him to choose Chiyan.

Therefore, when Zhang Xutuo heard that Li Xuanba chose Chiyan, his face darkened for a long, long time, but helplessly, he personally promised to let Li Xuanba choose at will, and Chiyan seemed to get along well with Li Xuanba, and he couldn't find an excuse to ask Chiyan back.

The most odious thing is that Li Xuanba returned to the camp and immediately went to the big tent to meet Zhang Xutuo and sincerely expressed his gratitude. Zhang Xutuo smiled bitterly and chatted with Li Xuanba for a few words, and saw that he had no chance to discuss the matter of Chiyan with him, so he found a reason to let Li Xuanba get out of the big tent.

In the next few days, Li Xuanba slowly learned to ride a horse under Qin Qiong's guidance.

Just in July, the warship built by Jiangdu was sent to Luoyang, and Yang Guang also left Daxing and returned to Dongdu.

"What an honor it is to be able to accompany His Majesty on a tour of Jiangdu, why does Childe look sad?" While the two Janissaries were chatting, one whispered.

Yang Guang returned to the Eastern Capital and immediately sent someone to transfer Li Xuanba back to Luoyang, although he did not say it explicitly, but everyone knew that Yang Guang wanted Li Xuanba to accompany Jiangdu.

Hearing that he was going to Jiangdu, how could Li Xuanba be happy?

"Childe's thoughts, who can guess for sure?" The other replied casually.

Li Xuanba took good care of these Praetorian Guards, and also took the opportunity to escort the big families in Dongjun to let them return to Luoyang in batches to wake up their relatives, and these Praetorian Guards were grateful, so they naturally did not talk too much about Li Xuanba.

After chatting for a while, the two cheered up and observed the movements on both sides of the strait in case someone sneaked up on the official ship.

Li Xuanba is not a big man now, and the Wagang thieves don't even know that Li Xuanba has been under Zhang Xutuo, so no one will plan to assassinate him at all.

After returning to Luoyang, the sun had set, and Li Xuanba got into the carriage that had been waiting for a long time and hurried back to the Tang State Mansion. Every time he returned home, Li Xuanba would chat with Wei Zheng, and this time was no exception.

After dinner, Li Xuanba invited Wei Zheng to the room, and the two closed the door and talked.

"If Gongzi accompanies Jiangdu, he can only take Li Gou alone at most." In front of Wei Zheng, Li Xuanba rarely talks nonsense, but Wei Zheng will not say useless words in front of anyone, so as soon as the door is closed, Wei Zheng said straight to the point: "The son has not yet married a family, and our identity is too low, if we go to Jiangdu, the son can only rely on Li Gou." ”

"It's not a question of who to take to Jiangdu now." Li Xuanba shook his head slightly, and said with an ugly face: "After receiving His Majesty's will, I hurried back, not to prepare for the trip, but to dispel His Majesty's idea of taking me to Jiangdu." ”

"Could it be that Gongzi has a premonition that this trip is dangerous?" Wei Zheng asked thoughtfully.

"I don't know." Li Xuanba sighed and said, "Sir, do you have a way?" "Wei Zheng is not a strategist, but Li Xuanba is in a hurry to go to the doctor, and he can only hope that Wei Zheng can give good advice.

Wei Zheng thought for a moment and replied: "Your Majesty wants to take Gongzi with you, there should be no purpose, if Gongzi really doesn't want to go, you won't be too reluctant to come to Your Majesty." ”

"What if Your Majesty insists on going his own way?" Li Xuanba said with a bitter face: "I should always have a good excuse. ”

"Childe, have you forgotten why Your Majesty sent you to the barracks?" Wei Zheng said with a smile: "Gongzi has been in the army for so many days, except for a small credit when General Zhang ambushed the Wagang cavalry, which can be said to be ineffective, why doesn't Gongzi use this as an excuse to continue to stay in the army?" ”

"yes, how did I forget about it?" Li Xuanba patted his head, instantly changed his smile, and said, "Your Majesty sees that I am so motivated, and you should agree to my request." Mr. Wei is really talented, and Xuanba admires him. After speaking, he saluted Wei Zheng.

"Childe is restless now, just like a person who plays chess, he will be confused when he is in the game." Wei Zheng returned the salute and said with a smile: "If you talk about intelligence, the son is still above me." ”

"Xuanba has a few catties and a few taels, and he still knows it in his heart." Letting go of his thoughts, Li Xuanba was in a good mood and said, "By the way, has something big happened recently?" ”

"What can be anything bigger than Your Majesty's inspection of Jiangdu?" Wei Zheng said bitterly: "The world is restless, but Your Majesty is obsessed, it really chills the hearts of the people in the world!" ”

As soon as he mentioned state affairs, Wei Zheng seemed to be a different person, and Li Xuanba was relieved, but he didn't know how to speak.

"On the way back to the Eastern Capital, can you see the warship in Luoshui?" Wei Zheng said a little distractedly: "Thousands of warships, stretching for dozens of miles, if you let the people in the barbarian land see it, I am afraid that they will think that my Great Sui is rich!" After speaking, he sneered twice.

"Your Majesty's travel is a big deal, of course, it must be well guarded." Li Xuanba defended, but after thinking about it, Li Xuanba said weakly: "If Your Majesty had such a move during the Taiping period, no one would dare to talk about it, but now, Your Majesty has really gone too far." ”

"In fact, the ministers in the court are not all people with the tendency of inflammation, but Your Majesty did not listen to the advice, and some ministers asked Your Majesty to guard the eastern capital in the court, but they were beaten dozens of boards." Wei Zheng said coldly: "What Your Majesty has done is not only excessive, it is simply a move to destroy the country!" ”

"Sir, please be cautious in what you say and do." Li Xuanba made a gesture of booing, regardless of whether Wei Zheng could understand it, and said: "Your Majesty has just announced the decree, and some people have spoken out against it, which will inevitably anger Shengyan, and there are still a few days to go, maybe there are other variables." ”

Li Xuanba's words were just to comfort Wei Zheng and himself, thousands of warships were ready, how could Yang Guang change his mind?

Wei Zheng replied absentmindedly, and Li Xuanba, in order to divert his attention, said, "How are those children doing recently?" ”

"In order to get rid of the status of criminal slaves, those children are also attentive." After all, Wei Zheng is the husband of those children, and when he mentioned them, his mood really improved, and he said: "Especially Li Jiuzhi, he only sleeps two hours a day, except for reading and eating, he is practicing martial arts all the time, and now that Li Gou has finished teaching martial arts, he hides everywhere, for fear of being entangled by Li Jiuzhi." ”

"He's still small and weak, and if he goes on like this, I'm afraid his body will collapse." Li Xuanba pondered for a moment and said, "I will persuade him when I have time." ”

Wei Zheng deliberately mentioned Li Jiuzhi just to remind Li Xuanba, because in the entire Li Mansion, Li Jiuzhi only listened to him.

The two chatted until late at night, the candles on the table were more than half burned, and Li Xuanba and Wei Zheng were a little tired. After saying what should be said, Wei Zheng got up to say goodbye, and Li Xuanba gave it away.

"Childe, what would you do if something happened to Your Majesty?" Before Wei Zheng left, he left another question.

A long time ago, Wei Zheng and Li Xuanba met for the first time, and before leaving, he asked Li Xuanba: "Are you worthy of Your Majesty?" ”

Now the relationship between the two is naturally not comparable to the original, so Wei Zheng asked a question that is more difficult to answer and should not be asked.
