The carriage and horses walked slowly, on this narrow loess road, the cold wind blew the flags in the team, and the horses pulling the cart walked in the cold wind, spewing out streams of hot air from their mouths and noses. Cangzhou, located on the shore of the Bohai Sea, belongs to the northeast region of the Tang Empire, and it is also one of the most bitter cold areas in the Tang Dynasty. Every winter, people die of hunger and cold. It was not until these years that Datang planted a large amount of cotton and had enough things to protect against the cold, and this situation was alleviated.

Cangzhou Cheng, the soldiers on the low city wall stood weakly, in this city near the sea, there were no other enemies around, even if there were a few thieves, they didn't need these soldiers to go out, and the servants in the city were enough to deal with it. And because of the harsh environment, these places are also fierce, and some strongmen really can't survive in this land. Of course, it is precisely because of the fierce customs of the people here, so it is more difficult to be a parent official here, because the poor mountains and bad waters produce the people, this is located on the coast, and the land is mostly saline-alkali land, so it is impossible to get much harvest from farming. The people dig in the land every year but can't eat enough, and the taxes collected by the imperial court are even more uncomfortable here. Therefore, there have been many officials in Cangzhou over the years, and none of them have been done for a long time, all because the tax targets of various countries here cannot be achieved, and they have been dismissed and investigated. So in the past two or three years, all the officials on the border of Cangzhou have been trembling and living a life of self-preservation, anyway, the court has also replaced the top thorn history after investigation, and the small officials below have lived quite steadily. As for the army, that's not to mention, anyway, the people who join the army here are a big handful. Because I joined the army and ate military salary, I had to have enough rations at home if I was alone. Therefore, there are indeed a lot of young people who come out of Cangzhou to serve as soldiers.

The car was tiring, and this road was more than a month. At the coldest time of the year, snowflakes flutter between the sky and the earth, swaying, like catkins fluttering in the wind. Li Kuan rode a war horse, in addition to the reins of the horse, there was also a rope, and at the other end of the rope, a big dog was firmly tied, and he hurried in the snow without hurrying. It's almost time to Cangzhou. All the people along the way have been tired, and a grandmaster-level powerhouse like Li Kuan is a little tired. The group of guards who were guarding him along the way were the super elite of the Xuanjia Guard, and they were able to defeat a hundred strong men in the battle between the two armies. They not only escorted Li Kuan to Cangzhou to take office, but also had another identity, that is, secretly reporting to Li Er what Li Kuan had done along the way. They are both guardians and watchdogs. Although Li Kuan knew that he would leave a secret letter every night at the place where they had stayed before, he didn't mind at all, because he hadn't thought about doing anything else, and he would have to wait until he arrived in Cangzhou before he could unfold it. Let them go now. If they don't tell the truth, then their father should be restless.

Cangzhou City has finally arrived, and in this snowy white, a group of people are waiting. They had been standing in the cold wind for two hours, and now their whole bodies were frozen, but none of them retreated. Because they knew a few days ago that this time it was the second son of the current saint who came here to serve as the assassin of the history - Li Kuan, the king of Chu, the first prince of the Tang Dynasty. This one is now famous in the entire Tang Dynasty, because Cheng Biting Jin's big-mouthed guy is not a guy who will keep his mouth shut. On the contrary, he is known for his big mouth, he broke through the last layer of window paper in the last duel with Li Kuan, and became one of the two most powerful in the Tang Army. For example, Li Kuan, the king of Chu, entered the palace alone on the day of Princess Changle's wedding, and fought with him and Wei Chigong, these things can't be hidden, they are some details, so Li Er is not ready to hide it, anyway, this Li Tang royal family is not a good reputation in the pen of historians, his two brothers are like this, and he is also like this, how can his children be exempt from vulgarity? Moreover, in order to show his open-mindedness, Li Er did not issue a gag order, which is also one of the reasons why Cheng Biting Jin is unscrupulous.

Through Cheng biting Jin's mouth, everyone knew that in fact, the most powerful in the entire Tang Dynasty was His Royal Highness the Prince, who was only sixteen years old, broke into the palace alone, and under the siege of hundreds of royal forest troops, beat everyone to the wounded but did not die, and without identifying himself, he dodged the shooting of the eight bull crossbows, and then he was injured and fought hundreds of rounds with the two strongest generals in the Tang Army, and finally although he was defeated, he was even more powerful. Because in the last battle, although Li Kuan was stabbed in the chest by Cheng Yanjin, he also beat Cheng Yanjin to the ground for three months under the counterattack.

I don't know who the title of the first warrior of the Tang Dynasty is on Li Kuan's head, but no one has raised any objections, because whether it is the group of ministers above the court or the group of unruly generals in the army, they all know that this young prince has reached such a height at such an age, so in the next few decades, I am afraid that no one will be able to compare with him. There are countless people in the army who have become his staunch supporters, and the people in the army admire the brave people the most, although they have not seen the contest between the top generals of the Tang Dynasty, but Cheng Yanjin, a well-known hob meat that no one is convinced, is the best proof. So Li Kuan became all the officials of the Tang Dynasty without his knowledge, and the people were all invested in the endless attention of the people, and when he learned that this powerful prince would become the assassin of Cangzhou, these Cangzhou magistrates, no one dared to slack off, and all arranged for people to inquire about his itinerary.

The lead clouds were low, the snowflakes were flying, the cold wind was howling, and the smell of the sea was peculiar to the air, and there were no tall trees along the way, only low bushes. On this saline-alkali land, not many plants can survive, and along the way, the people are all busy for the firewood for wintering, and they drag their families to search for the endless plains, looking for the dead branches and leaves, the straw of the farmer. These are all essential items for cooking and keeping warm in winter. This barren land is a land without the slightest hope, and their ancestors have lived like this for generations, fighting with the heavens and people, just to survive. Many people have moved out of here, so the population of Cangzhou has not been large, and those who are unwilling to move away are those who are difficult to leave their homeland.

Li Kuan saw depression all the way, and these places really made people feel a burst of worry in their hearts, because here the sea breeze and tide brought countless salts in the seawater, making the land barren, and even weeds could not grow in many places. This kind of land is really the most terrible thing in the world for an agrarian people. The plot of the Chinese people who farm the land is already deep in their bones, no matter where they are, they like to plant something on the land, this kind of thing that has been passed down in the blood from generation to generation is the imprint of the entire private capital. Therefore, although it is located by the sea, there are not many people who actually go out to sea to fish, relying on the great natural treasure of the sea, these people live a poor life, and are only willing to grow those poor crops on the ground that cannot be satisfied.

What Li Kuan saw and heard along the way shocked him too much, which made him decide to do something here to change the face of poverty here. So he was thinking about it all the way, and even many things that had been forgotten in his memory and only happened to be recalled by him racking his brains. This is also because he has reached the limit of the human body's martial arts cultivation ability, he found that after the breakthrough, the whole person's head has become a lot better, and even many things he has forgotten, but at some times by some external stimuli suddenly remembered. This kind of thing made Li Kuan more motivated to practice that set of boxing techniques, because he felt that if he continued, he might be able to really remember it, and he was very yearning for this kind of super memory that he had only seen in novels. Because when he used to grow up in the spring breeze, the experience of taking a small test every day and a big test in three days made him often fantasize like this, which has also become an obsession, even if it has passed through thousands of years.

"Xiaguan Cangzhou, don't fight, Chen Xuanzhang leads Cangzhou officials to welcome His Royal Highness the King of Chu!" Coming to the gate of Cangzhou City, a group of Cangzhou local officials who had been waiting for a long time in the snow began to pat their ass for the first time, and they would look at it once if they were doing well in the future, as long as the prince was still satisfied with them, then they could continue to do it in this position in the future, and even climb up, if the impression was not good, then it would be the opposite result.

"Chen Beijia, this is strict, such a big snow, why are you waiting in this snow! Isn't there a pavilion over there? Li Kuan got off the horse and led the big dog that was still alive and well all the way forward, this big dog was eight feet tall, almost as tall as the current Li Kuan, two feet long, completely a behemoth, a pair of deep miserable green eyes No matter who he stared at, keeping it would make people's backs chill. But at this time, this big dog, which can be called a fierce beast, lay down obediently beside Li Kuan, rubbing its big nose on Li Kuan's legs, as if it was coquettish. There was a whining sound from his mouth, but the sound was low, like the roar of a lion and tiger in the mountains. (To be continued......)
