"Li Shimin is here!" Li Xiu and Pei Lin were all startled when they heard the report from their subordinates, and then the two looked at each other, and they could see a little uneasiness in each other's eyes, after all, they had just met Li Yuan, but now Li Shimin actually ran to Pei Lin for no reason, how could they not be weak-hearted?

In addition, Li Xiu also thought that Li Yuan's funeral had just ended for three days, and it was said that Li Shimin should be busy dealing with the backlog of government affairs before, not to mention that at the time of the funeral, he also encountered a rebellion from the southwest party, so Li Shimin should be even more unable to withdraw now, but why did he suddenly run to Pei Lian, if he is not mistaken, since Pei Lian left the court, Li Shimin has never been to him?

What Li Xiu could think of, Pei Lin could naturally think of, so his face became a little unsightly at this time, no matter from which point of view, Li Shimin had no reason to come to him, but the other party came, which made him suddenly have an ominous premonition, could it be that Li Yuan's fake death was exposed?

Thinking of this possibility, Pei Lin couldn't help but feel chills all over his body, but he was not an ordinary person after all, the previous winds and waves had come, and he naturally did not show timidity at this time, and immediately returned to the courtyard with Li Xiu, and when he walked into the living room, he saw Li Shimin sitting in the hall drinking tea at a glance.

"See Your Majesty!" Although Li Xiu and Pei Lin were apprehensive in their hearts, they still stepped forward and saluted.

"No need to be polite, I originally wanted to chat with Pei Jian, but I didn't expect Li Xiu to be here!" Li Shimin said with a smile at this time, looking at his appearance, he didn't look angry, which made Li Xiu and Pei Lin breathe a sigh of relief.

"I also made a pact with my Pei before, so I came to play with him." Li Xiu also replied with a smile at this time.

"Your Majesty, the minister heard that the party members in the southwest have rebelled, I don't know what the situation is?" Pei Lin didn't say anything polite, but asked directly about the war in the southwest, in fact, the meaning of his words was obvious, that is, why didn't Li Shimin stay in the palace honestly to deal with government affairs, why did he suddenly come to chat with him?

"The party item is just a disease of scabies, there is no need to worry about it at all, I have already sent Qin Qiong and Cheng Zhijie to deal with it, I think there will be results soon." Li Shimin didn't care when he heard Pei Lian's words, and after speaking, he took a sip of the tea bowl again, and didn't say why he came, which made Li Xiu and Pei Lian's hearts can't help but lift again.

"Your Majesty, the funeral of the Emperor Taishang has ended, and the minister's last concern in Chang'an is gone, so the minister wants to ask His Majesty to resign and prepare to go back to his hometown in Hedong to retire!" Pei Lin felt uneasy in his heart, and finally gritted his teeth and said, Originally, he wanted to wait for a while before saying goodbye to Li Shimin and leaving Chang'an, but now he can only advance.

"Eunuch Pei wants to go back to Hedong?" Li Shimin finally showed a surprised expression when he heard Pei Lian's words, but then he sighed and said, "Yes, Pei Gong is old, and he worked day and night for his father's funeral before, which is indeed a little difficult for you, but I see that this Nanshan Mountain has beautiful scenery and is a rare place to retire, why does Pei Gong have to go back to Hedong?" ”

"As the so-called leaves fall back to the roots, the ancestral land of the old minister is in Puzhou, Hedong, and he will naturally be buried there after his death, in recent years, the minister feels that his body is not as good as a day, although Chang'an is prosperous, but after all, it is a foreign land for the minister, so the minister wants to take advantage of the fact that he can still move, go back to his hometown to live for two years, maybe one day he will go with the emperor!" Pei Lin spoke sincerely again at this time.

Hearing the sadness that Pei Lin said, and Li Yuan was also mentioned in the words, this made Li Shimin also seem to feel something, and his face also showed a bit of a trance expression, and after a while, he reacted, and after thinking about it for a while, he spoke again: "Okay, since Eunuch Pei has made up his mind, then I won't stop you, wait until you have to leave one day, let someone notify me in advance, and even if I can't get out, I will send the prince to see you off!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Pei Lin heard that Li Shimin actually asked the prince to see him off, and he also showed a grateful expression at the moment, although Li Xiu next to him knew that Pei Lin was acting, he also had to make a moving expression.

"By the way, I have long heard that the courtyard here is beautiful, and there is even a hunting ground, I wonder if you can take me on a tour?" Li Shimin suddenly said at this time, when Li Xiu and Pei Lin heard the words "hunting ground", their hearts couldn't help jumping, but both of them were also extraordinary, and they didn't show any unusual expressions.

"Your Majesty is willing to visit the old minister's courtyard, which is also the blessing of the old minister, speaking of which, I just came back from the hunting ground with the horse, but now is not the hunting season, and the archery skills of the two of us are not good, so there is no gain!" Pei Xiao immediately smiled, and then asked Li Shimin to go out and get on the horse, and Li Xiu was also on the side.

Pei Lian's courtyard is so large that it is almost equivalent to half of the county seat, and most of the surrounding areas are mountains and forests, and the flat land at the foot of the mountains and forests has also been reclaimed as farmland, which is planted with sweet potatoes and other crops, and some tenants of the Pei family are also busy in the fields at this time.

Pei Lin explained his other courtyard to Li Shimin while walking, and finally the three of them unconsciously came to the hunting ground again, after all, the hunting ground in the entire courtyard covers the largest area, and it is not far from where Pei Lin lives, so it is easy to walk here.

Li Shimin is a military general, and he likes to hunt since he was young, and when he came to the hunting ground, he actually said with great interest: "I am really boring in the palace, and I usually have no time to play, so it is rare to come to Pei Jian here today, it just so happens that there is a hunting ground here, why don't you accompany me to hunt a few prey?" ”

Pei Lin and Li Xiu were also confused by Li Shimin at this time, obviously Li Shimin was so busy, but he ran to Pei Lin for no reason, and it didn't seem to be anything serious, just going around here, and now he was going hunting, which was really confusing.

Of course, Li Xiu was also a little worried about Li Yuan hiding in the hunting ground, but thinking that the valley was almost closed, the only thing to enter and exit was the hidden cave, and ordinary people couldn't find it at all, not to mention that the hunting ground was so big, the probability of Li Shimin finding the cave was even smaller.

Pei Lin seemed to have the same idea, and he agreed at the moment, and then asked people to go to the house next to the hunting ground to take out the hunting bow, and then the three of them entered the hunting ground, although it was not the hunting season, but Pei Lian's hunting ground was mainly in the mountains and forests, and there were actually not many prey in the forest, but he and Li Xiu had no intention of hunting before, so naturally there was no gain.

In contrast, Li Shimin seems to really come for hunting, after entering the hunting ground, he keeps chasing the prey, and sometimes even dismounts and walks on foot, after all, there are some places in the mountains and forests that are inconvenient to ride horses, and his archery skills are much stronger than Li Xiu and Pei Lian, and after a while, there are seven or eight prey hanging on his horseback, including pheasants and rabbits, and even a half-sized deer crashed into his hand, but he was shot into his brain, he couldn't carry it immediately, and the three of them did not bring guards, and finally could only be placed on Li Xiu's horse.

Seeing that it was not early, Li Shimin seemed to be a little unsatisfied, but the light in the mountains and forests was already late, and it was easier to see clearly when it was dark, and finally Li Xiu missed several times, allowing the prey he liked to escape, which made him finally become excited and said: "It's too late, it seems that we should go back!" ”

"Your Majesty's divine shooting, it has only been less than half a day, and so many prey have been shot, in comparison, I have been here with the colt for most of the day, but there is no gain, I am really ashamed!" Pei Lin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard that Li Shimin was finally going back, and then complimented the other party, because the location where they were located was actually not far from the valley where Li Yuan was hiding, although the possibility of Li Shimin finding the entrance to the cave was very small, it still made him a little nervous.

"No, I haven't touched bows and arrows much over the years, and my archery skills have been a little deserted, just now there were a few prey that should have been shot, but unfortunately I let them escape!" Li Shimin shook his head a little dissatisfied at this time, looking at his appearance, it seemed that he had the same feeling as the legendary Liu Bei because of his resurrection.

"Under the governance of His Majesty, the national power of my Tang Dynasty is thriving, and no one can match the cultural and martial arts, but as the saying goes, there must be gains and losses, and Your Majesty has also paid a lot of energy and effort, and naturally has no time to take care of some interested skills!" Li Xiu also slapped Li Shimin's sycophants silently at this time, and he also hoped that Li Shimin would go back quickly, after all, the closer he was to Li Yuan, the more he felt empty-hearted.

"Haha, the words of the horse are too much, let alone Wenzhi, I don't dare to compare with Han Wu in terms of martial arts!" Li Shimin was very happy to hear Li Xiu's praise, but he was still modest, after all, the Han Dynasty was known as a "strong man", especially Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty chased the powerful Xiongnu for thousands of miles, and wiped out the biggest threat to the Central Plains in one fell swoop, making the people of the grassland dare not look south for ten years.

"Your Majesty's words are wrong!" Li Xiu said with a solemn expression at this time, "The reason why Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was able to defeat the Xiongnu was because of the accumulation of the previous decades, and after the destruction of the Xiongnu, the wealth of the Han land for decades was exhausted, and the lives of the people became difficult. ”

Li Xiu did not deliberately compliment Li Shimin, but the true thoughts in his heart, in his opinion, Li Shimin, who is getting stronger and stronger, is indeed more than a step stronger than Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who has consumed his wealth for decades. As soon as his words came out, Li Shimin also showed a look of joy, after all, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was the Ming monarch in history, and Li Xiu said that he was stronger than Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, which was simply the biggest compliment to him.

It was getting late, Li Shimin and Li Xiu and Pei Lin chatted while walking, but at this moment, suddenly there was a fishy wind blowing in the mountains and forests, which made the experienced Li Shimin stunned for a moment, and then stopped the horse, and then only heard a tiger roar, and a colorful tiger jumped out of the mountains and forests in front of him, and then roared and pounced on Li Xiu and the three of them, and what was worse was that the three of them did not bring guards at all.
