"Higher, higher." Tang Ao held a bow and arrows and shouted loudly to the eunuch on the roof.

Li Xian saw that the two eunuchs were just lying on the roof of the building, not even daring to stand, and laughed: "Tang Ao, it's already more than one hundred and fifty steps!" If you can't shoot, this king will open the government today, but it will become a laughing stock. ”

Tang Ao shook the bow and arrow in his hand, full of confidence: "Your Highness, rest assured, this five-stone strong bow is in your hand, if an arrow misses, Tang Ao will come to see you." ”

Li Xian looked at the heroic Tang Ao, in a blink of an eye, Tang Ao was already fifteen years old, and he was already an adult, with his own British Palace, time passed really fast.

On the roof of the palace, the eunuch finally placed the firecrackers, climbed down the long ladder tremblingly, and looked up again and couldn't see the lead clearly.

"Lord Wang, Tang Gongzi's strength is extraordinary, there are no arrows, such a long distance, even if Yang Youji is reborn, he may not be able to do it, today the little ones are going to open their eyes!"

"What is this, last year, Tang Gongzi hunted with the Forbidden Garden of the Prince, and shot a tiger two hundred steps away, then he was called General Fei!"

The eunuchs' gossip of praise made Tang Ao a little ashamed, he has the reputation of a marksman, because of the elixirs that Xuyan poured into him when he was a child, and later Xinyue inadvertently helped him open the Taiyuan acupoint blocked in his hand.

Since then, Tang Ao has found that whether it is eyesight or arm strength, he is far beyond ordinary people, and usually only dares to show his archery skills in a hundred steps. I'm afraid that I will repeat the mistakes I made when I was a child in Xishi, and everyone will retreat.

"It's coming, it's coming." The eleven-year-old Princess Taiping trotted to the Tang Tower, waving her hands, with a Luo robe, and her delicate facial features, she looked fluttering like a fairy, but in her crazy state at the moment, how could she still have a little fairy spirit.

With the shouting of Taiping, the middle door of the British King's Mansion was opened, and the eunuch Yang Sihe walked in the front with the holy decree in his hand, and the other greeting guests followed.

Tang Ao looked at the endless guests and mule and horse carriages outside the door, and couldn't help but think of the grand occasion of Mrs. Rongguo's birthday a few years ago.

Princess Taiping saw that the guests had basically entered the British Palace, and Yang Sihe was about to read the holy decree, so she hurriedly said to Tang Ao: "Shoot quickly!" Don't delay the auspicious day. ”

Tang Ao smiled, took out three carved arrows wrapped in cotton paper, and the eunuch who was waiting on the side hurriedly lit the cotton paper.

Tang Ao stretched his bow and arrows, only to hear a loud sound, and the three burning rockets crossed the clear blue sky, and at the same time ignited the firecrackers placed on the roof of the building, attracting a burst of cheers.

The firecrackers crackled, Li Xian couldn't help but praise it, and felt more and more that it was a very correct decision to bring Tang Ao into the palace to accompany him.

Today's Tang Ao has not yet reached the crown, but he has allowed Wen Yunwu, which is better than Wang Bo back then, just waiting for the opportunity to make a blockbuster, and it will be a façade of the British Prince's Mansion in the future.

Yang Sihe congratulated Li Xian after reading the holy decree, and took the opportunity to be close to Li Xian, and whispered to Li Xian: "Your Royal Highness, the East Palace is sick. ”

Li Xian nodded quietly, and instructed the subordinate officials of the palace to give Yang Sihe a sum of happy money, the joy of opening the mansion, but it did not dilute the worries in his heart.

The crown prince Li Hong, as a compatriot of Li Xian's mother, has a very good relationship with several brothers and sisters of the same mother, but I don't know why, since returning from the hunt in Lishan a few years ago, Li Hong's body and bones are getting worse day by day, and it is said that he was frightened by the death of He Lanmin.

Li Xian has no covetous intention for the position of the crown prince, because in terms of seniority, even if Li Hong is gone, he still has a half-brother Li Xian, so it will not be his turn to inherit the throne.

Therefore, Li Xian is really concerned about Li Hong's body, perhaps because he cares too much, which seems to make the eunuch Yang Sihe have a different mind.

"Tang Ao, when Taiping goes back later, you will follow into the palace and send that ginseng to the East Palace." Li Xian couldn't leave today, so he could only let Tang Ao run.

Tang Ao nodded, that ginseng plant was dug up in Zhongnan Mountain, weighing nine taels, seven taels for ginseng, eight taels for treasures, and nine taels of ginseng is rare in the world.

Although it is not as good as the ginseng fruit he has eaten, it is also a rare elixir, and he was dedicated to Li Xian in Xingchong, but today he was transferred to the prince by Li Xian, and he felt that it was really a pity.

Tang Ao has been following Li Xian for several years, and according to Li Xian's original intention, he wants to emulate the old things between King Pei and Wang Bo, and appoint Tang Ao as the doctor of revision of the palace, but Tang Ao remembered Di Renjie's words back then, and insisted on not accepting it, and he is still a white body.

After the good day, Tang Ao took the brocade box of ginseng from the treasury and followed Princess Taiping's honor guard to the palace.

Since Li Xian moved out of the palace as an adult, Tang Ao and Xinyue have met a lot less, and they haven't seen each other for a few days, Tang Ao is very worried about Xinyue, thinking about taking this opportunity to enter the palace to meet Xinyue.

When Tang Ao and his entourage were about to enter the palace, they happened to meet the prince's carriage and horse, and Li Hong was very happy to learn that Tang Ao had sent a ginseng plant for Li Xian, and then Tang Ao was arrested.

Li Hong has seen Tang Ao a few times, and knows that he is a young man who is very valued by his younger brother Li Xian, and he has also heard that Tang Ao is excellent in archery, and he is going to go out of the city to inspect, and he is lacking a warrior to escort him.

Tang Ao was young and old, but it was still difficult to get rid of the child's heart, and Li Hong mixed up the plan to see Xinyue, and he was slightly dissatisfied in his heart, but he couldn't help but listen to Li Hong's order, and followed behind the carriage and horse with his head bowed.

When the group went out of Chang'an City, the wind was not blocked by the city wall, the people who blew couldn't open their eyes, the dust was flying all over the sky, and the choked Li Hong coughed nonstop.

"Your Highness, forget it! Today, the wind and sand cover the sky and the sun, and even the person on the opposite side can't see clearly, so it's better to patrol another day. Yang Sihe raised his hand and sleeves to shield Li Hong from the wind and sand, but to no avail.

Li Hong said worriedly: "This year, there is a big drought in Guanzhong, and there is a constant famine, what is the situation, if you don't see how to do it with your own eyes, go and bring the kettle." ”

Li Hong dipped the Jinpa with water, covered his mouth and nose and said, "Let the fifty royal forest soldiers stay, and you can all go back!" ”

When Tang Ao heard Li Hong say this, his heart was excited, but when he saw Li Hong standing unsteadily in the wind, he hesitated again, and also wanted to see why Li Hong was so persistent, patrolling in such weather, this year's drought is very serious?

The fifty Imperial Forest Army left, all wearing Mingguang armor, equipped with Tang knives as standard, and heavy armor, Tang Ao shook his head and came to Li Hong's side, and stretched out his hand to support Li Hong: "Your Highness, be careful." ”

"Ahem...... Go back too! After Li Hong finished speaking, he found that Tang Ao was supporting him, still walking like a fly, a touch of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he secretly thought that he could be valued by his younger brother Li Xian, Tang Ao, a young man, really had some ability.

Ten miles out of the city, Tang Ao and his party were already covered in dust, and Li Hong's Jinpa, which covered his mouth and nose, became black, and his cough became more and more severe.

Arriving at the destination, Tang Ao found that this was a military camp, and the banner of the Forbidden Army of the Son of Heaven could still be seen in the dust, and it was blown by the wind.

Tang Ao knew that these were all soldiers who were transferred from the Twelve Guards Mansion to guard the capital and the imperial city in turn, commonly known as the Nanya soldiers, no wonder Li Hong was so concerned.

The wind and sand in the barracks were a little smaller, and several generals who learned that the prince had come lined up in armor to greet each other.

Tang Ao was still in contact with the regular army of the Tang Dynasty for the first time, and these generals were all strong and bright, which made Tang Ao subconsciously straighten his waist.

Li Hong sat in the middle and asked in detail about various situations, and several generals answered each other fluently, but when Li Hong proposed to go to the barracks to have a look, his face became unnatural, and he just didn't move.

Li Hong flicked the sleeves of his robe, shook off the dust in the room, and walked straight outside, Tang Ao hurriedly followed, after listening for so long, Tang Ao also saw that something was wrong here.

When several generals saw this scene, they hurriedly chased them out, and couldn't help but complain to each other, Tang Ao's ears were good, and he heard very clearly, there seemed to be a famine and lack of food in the army.

Li Hong first entered a camp, there were about 200 people inside, and a brigade commander was presiding over the distribution of food, the food was black and green, and there was a faint bitter smell.

Li Hong stretched out his hand and grabbed a handful, didn't see what it was, and asked Tang Ao beside him: "What are they eating?" ”

Tang Ao has been eating and drinking with Li Xian for the past few years, but he has long been imprinted in his heart when he suffered hardships and sins when he was a child, and he is very familiar with the food in Li Hong's hands: "Your Highness, this is elm bark and basil seeds. ”

Between the bark and grass seeds, there was not a grain of grain in sight, and it was like sand in his hands, Li Hong looked at the brigade commander in front of him with moist eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "You guys just eat this?" ”

Lu Shuai is a sincere person, and he didn't hear Tang Ao call Li Hong clearly, so he grinned and said, "It's good to have this to eat!" At least it can fill the stomach, the grass roots and bark in my hometown have been eaten up, and it is better to stay in the capital last time, there is a lot of bark here, and the grass seeds can't be picked up......"

Li Hong didn't wait for the brigade commander to finish speaking, walked around, and found that even if it was bark and grass seeds, each soldier could only get a small bowl.

Li Hong looked at the bark grass seeds in his hand, lowered his head and took a bite, not to mention the toothache, it was really difficult to swallow, and it hurt hot in his throat.

Several generals who came in later, when they saw Li Hong eating bark and grass seeds, they all knelt on the ground, and the generals led by them wept bitterly: "Your Highness, I can't help it!" ”

Li Hong chewed the bark and grass seeds, and raised his hand to let the generals get up: "You have abandoned your wife and children, and you have been guarding Li Tang Jiangshan for thousands of miles, and you can't eat if you are so loyal, how can you feel at peace in this palace?" ”

Li Hong insisted on eating up the grass root bark in his hand, and his gums and mouth were already grinding blood: "If you don't come today, this palace can know that the sons and daughters are actually hungry, and the bark and grass seeds are hungry, and this palace is also guilty." ”

Before Li Hong's words fell, he suddenly pulled out the sword he was wearing, and the bright sword swept over his head, startling everyone, including Tang Ao.

A strand of hair was held in Li Hong's hand, as if it was a self-punishment allusion to the Three Kingdoms to act as the head of the hair, Li Hong threw down his hair and said to Tang Ao: "Pass on the palace oracle, move all the rice and grain in the East Palace, in order to replenish military funds, how can a man in the Tang Dynasty be hungry and stubborn." ”

I don't know who started it, Qin Feng sang in the barracks: How can you say that you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear, and have the same enmity with his son......
