Li Hong's mood was a little complicated, looking at the old man in front of him who was still vigorous, but found that his temples had already turned white, and although a pair of tiger eyes still had a god, it couldn't help but make people feel like a hero in the twilight.

He suddenly understood why Li Ji was so open-minded and courageous today!

I also understand why Li Ji insisted on not allowing Pei Xingjian to go out of Beijing, instead of going to the East in person, if it was just to fulfill his long-cherished wish for many years, I am afraid it is not necessarily true.

In the military, although Pei Xingjian's prestige is very high, it can be regarded as the sky, but it is not without opponents, Liu Renliang these days, although he has been repeatedly suppressed by Li Hong, but his identity as a servant of Shangshu Province is there, and the foundation is there, if he is left in Beijing, I am afraid that Pei Xingjian will add a lot of trouble to taking over the military.

Therefore, Li Ji simply transferred him out of Beijing, and in order to prevent him from returning with military exploits, which would be more troublesome, the old man did not hesitate to go out on his own, just to put Liu Renliang under his nose and keep watch over him firmly.

His intentions can not be described as bad and bitter......

Now that he has figured out this section, Li Hong also knows that no one can stop Li Ji, and now that Li Zhi already knows Li Ji's physical condition, even if he thinks of his previous exploits for the Tang Dynasty, he will grant him such a final request.

"Since the British Duke has made up his mind, Lone will wish Li Shi a victory in this expedition, and when the army returns, Lone will personally go to greet him! On the matter of General Pei's entry into the political hall, Lone will also try his best to mediate, please rest assured. ”

Li Hong sighed, stood up, arched his hand solemnly, and spoke.

It's just that his expression can't help but be gloomy, and what Li Ji did today is almost equivalent to trusting orphans.

"Hehe, the old minister will thank His Highness in advance, but this matter is not suitable to be publicized, Liu Renliang is still a servant of Shangshu Province now, and there is the support of King Yong behind him, and it will inevitably add a lot of trouble when the time comes!

After the old minister leaves Beijing, His Royal Highness only needs to wait and see what happens, and as soon as the news of the war arrives, His Royal Highness will naturally know what to do, but when the time comes, His Royal Highness King Yong will inevitably try his best to stop it, and I hope His Royal Highness will help! ”

However, Li Ji looked indifferent and said softly.

Li Hong bowed slightly, and vaguely understood in his heart why Li Ji wanted to take Xue Rengui out of Beijing together, precisely because he was the person recommended by Li Xian, and at this moment, once he rashly took Liu Renliang directly, it was really eye-catching, and taking Xue Rengui to the East Expedition together was just right to confuse the other party's eyes.

"Master Li, it's all to blame the students for being useless, so that you have to fight on the battlefield at such an old age......"

Pei Xingjian's voice was a little choked, for him, Li Ji was the existence of both a master and a father, but now he wanted him to personally go east in order to support himself, which really made Pei Xingjian feel uncomfortable.

But he also knew that the decision made by his teacher would not be changed no matter what.

"Idiot, it's not like the old man won't come back!"

Li Ji stroked the top of Pei Xingjian's head with a smile, as close as he treated the children in his own house.

After a pause, the old man's eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression was a little more arrogant.

"I want the old man and the young man to be the general, and he has been on the battlefield for more than ten years, how can he end up depressed in this house, the eldest husband should die on the battlefield, and he will not lose his true colors as a man, why do you want to be such a child!"

Pei Xingjian was silent, but his expression was a little more gloomy.

…………

I have to say that sometimes there are no secrets in Chang'an City, and Li Hong has just walked out of the gate of the British Mansion with his front feet.

All kinds of news in Chang'an City spread.

"Mr. has worked hard, at this time, Mr. is coming, could it be that there is something wrong with the political affairs hall?"

In the lobby of King Yong's Mansion, the man in Tsing Yi hurriedly came with a dusty look, but Li Xian didn't talk too much nonsense, and asked directly.

The man in Tsing Yi was not verbose, and after sitting down, he asked non-stop.

"Does the prince know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has left the British Mansion?"

Hearing this, Li Xian's face showed a hint of schadenfreude, and he said in a mocking tone.

"Now it has been spread all over Chang'an City, when the prince came out of the British Mansion, his face was extremely ugly, and even Li Jingye, who took him in, heard that he is now also grounded in the Mansion and is not allowed to go out, it seems that he has not reaped any benefits in the British Mansion, but he is angry!"

The man in Tsing Yi bowed his head slightly and continued to speak.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is too careless this time, who is the British Prince? The first person in the military, since he didn't want to show his attitude, who would dare to force him, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had to use some tricks to enter the British Mansion, and he didn't have a good face as it should! ”

"And who is the gentleman?"

Li Xian's face was a little puzzled, if it was just this matter, I am afraid it would not be enough for the man in Tsing Yi to take this risk to come to King Yong's Mansion in broad daylight.

"Lord, as expected, the British Prince's attitude towards the military has really not yet made up his mind, and presumably His Royal Highness the Prince's actions today have made the British Duke a little alert, since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince left the British Mansion Shortly after, the British Duke presented a note to the Political Affairs Hall, which is an abridgement copied by a certain family, the prince!"

The face of the man in Tsing Yi was slightly proud, and after that, he took out a document from his sleeve and handed it to Li Xian.

And as Li Xian unfolded the paperwork, his face changed suddenly, and even his voice trembled a little.

"What? The British Duke actually wants to personally take command of the Eastern Crusade? ”

The man in Tsing Yi bowed slightly, but said with a calm face.

"Lord Wang, this is not important, please continue to look down!"

Li Xian lowered his head and continued to carefully read the slightly scribbled document, but when he finished reading it, the shock in his heart had long been gone.

"This, just a Goguryeo, is it worth such a stirring up of the people?"

Li Xian also understands Li Ji's status clearly, his old man has not been out of Chang'an City for many years, and this time he plans to take command in person is shocking enough.

However, this abridgement also specified that Shang Shu's right servant and the general Xue Rengui should be the vanguard lieutenants of his old man, and an army of less than 100,000 conscripts and suppressors actually had to labor three of the most important figures in the military to go out at the same time, which is no longer shocking and can be described.

"In his early years, the British Duke had repeatedly fought against Goguryeo, but he couldn't conquer it for a long time, and it would not be surprising if his old man was obsessed with it, but a certain family was not concerned about this......"

The man in Tsing Yi also calmed down at the moment, took a sip of tea lightly, and said meaningfully.

After a pause, the man in Tsing Yi spoke softly

"Didn't the prince see the mystery of the two candidates appointed by the British duke?" (To be continued.) )
