You have to believe that there will be someone who will break your disappointment and give you a truly warm and sweet love; True love is not repaid without tears. In the past, Zhou Juan felt that she might not meet such a person in her life, but now she firmly believes that she has met this person, he is her Li Langjun, this thin but gentle man, with a noble and not arrogant man.

There are not many customers in the green onion noodle restaurant anymore, Zhou Juan sat on a table by the window, stroking the hosta given to her by Li Hong, with a look of longing.

She knows a lot about Li Hong's identity, but she doesn't care! can meet such a man, just sit quietly from a distance and watch him, and occasionally cook him a meal of green onion noodles, Zhou Juan feels very happy, what else is there to ask for? What's more, this man is not such a person, he re-promises, fulfills his promises, and does what he says, he is definitely a person who allows Zhou Juan to love and rely on with confidence.

Thinking of this, Zhou Juan couldn't help but smile faintly at the corner of her mouth.

When did my sister become so, so, so... Zhou Xing didn't know what words to use to describe his current sister.

"Ahem-" Half-sounded, Zhou Xingcai coughed softly.

Zhou Juan immediately came back to her senses, and when she saw that it was her younger brother, she breathed a sigh of relief, but she still asked with blushing cheeks, "Why did you come back so early today?" Is there anything going on in the yamen? ”。

"Yes, it's just nothing to do with me!" Zhou Xing said a little lost.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Juan asked.

"Su Xiang is going to Chang'an in the afternoon, His Royal Highness the Prince has already gone out of the city to greet him, and said that a banquet will be held in the Taiji Hall in the evening, specifically for Su Xiang to receive the wind and wash the dust, and require all civil and military officials in Chang'an City to attend, Luo County Order is also among them, so we will be given half a day off." Zhou Xing said.

"You're not happy about this?" Zhou Juan said with a smile, this younger brother of hers is really childish!

"It's not, it's just a little envious." Zhou Xing said, and then said excitedly, "Sister, do you know? I heard the news from outside the city, today on the bank of the Weishui River, the prince personally led the horse and fell into the stirrups for Su Xiang, to show his great military exploits to the Tang Dynasty and the debt that the Tang Dynasty owed to him, it is exciting to think about. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really very human, and he can be so polite and virtuous..."

Zhou Xing said very energetically, just like the person he was riding on a horse, and his words were full of gratitude and emotion for Li Hong's approach. But he didn't notice that when he said this, Zhou Juan's face exuded a happy light, and her eyes were as bright as the sun in winter.

"Sister, you say, if the prince goes to the northwest to inspect, will I go with him?" Zhou Xing asked suddenly.

"Do you know His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Zhou Juan said lightly.

Zhou Xing knew that he had missed his mouth for a while, so he hurriedly explained, "No, it's just that Luo Xianling is very familiar with the prince, as long as he can introduce him, I can follow the prince." ”

"Do you know martial arts?". Zhou Juan asked.

"I didn't before, but now I'm practicing my knife skills, and I've made a little progress." Zhou Juan said proudly.

"How is the prince's martial arts?" Zhou Juan asked curiously.

"I haven't seen the prince make a move, but I heard that he studied under Sun Simiao, so he must not be weak in martial arts!" Zhou Xing sighed, "Actually, no matter when the prince doesn't have to make a personal move, General Chen beside him is very powerful, and some time ago he accepted a Tubo man, who was renamed Zhao Zhongyong, is a fierce man who has won thirty-six games in a row in the gladiatorial arena, and his strength is extremely strong." With the two of them by the prince's side, there is no problem with the prince's safety. ”

"That's good, that's good!" Zhou Juan said as if relieved, and suddenly, she asked, "You mean the prince is going to the northwest to inspect?" How do you know about such a confidential thing? ”

"What Luo Xianling said!" Zhou Xingman said nonchalantly.

Zhou Juan was silent, and only after a moment did she ask seriously, "When will he leave?" ”

"It's probably just this month, he is waiting for Su Xiang to delay the time, because he needs Su Xiang to sit in Chang'an City, so he can go to the northwest with confidence." Zhou Xing said slowly.

"Yes." Zhou Juan nodded slightly, and said a little unrelentingly, "If you want to eat, go get some yourself, and I'll go back and rest first when I'm tired." ”

"Yes!" Zhou Xing nodded slightly, he was used to such a lifestyle, and even if he had a proper career now, he didn't want his sister to serve him. Actually, he didn't dare, because he knew who his sister's favorite Li Langjun was, he was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today, with His Royal Highness the Prince's personality, his sister would not be able to be a queen in the future, but she would at least be a concubine, so now that he has treated his sister as a concubine, how dare he let his sister serve him?

Zhou Juan, who returned to her room, took out the copper coin that Li Hong gave her today from the box, and murmured, "You're going out again, but they say that the northwest is in chaos now-"

After saying that, this kind and innocent girl was already in tears before she knew it.

"And it's cold in the northwest!"

……

In the shed on the bank of the Weishui River, Li Hong and Su Dingfang sat opposite each other, and the rest of the people sat beside them in turn, and the guards served wine. Li Hong raised his wine glass, just like Su Dingfang said, "Su Xiang, you have worked hard all the way, I will respect you for a glass!" ”

Su Dingfang hurriedly raised his wine glass and said to Li Hong, "Your Highness Xie!" ”

The rest of the people all had it at the same time, and they drank it all together with Li Hong and Su Dingfang.

The two drank three glasses in a row before giving up.

At this time, everyone began to look at each other. Su Dingfang's gaze moved to Zhao Zhongyong beside Li Hong, his eyes were deep, his eyes flashed, and the corners of his mouth showed a satisfied smile.

Li Hong understood what Su Dingfang meant, and asked with a smile, "What does Su Xiang think?" ”

"He is indeed a brave person, he can charge into battle, and he can take the head of the general within a hundred steps, which is worth cultivating." Su Dingfang said. With Su Dingfang's identity and vision, it is indeed very high to be able to give Zhao Zhongyong such an evaluation.

When Li Hong heard this, his heart was even happier, he didn't expect Zhao Zhongyong to have such great potential, so he turned back to him and said, "Su has such a high opinion of you, why don't you hurry up and thank Su Xiang." ”

Zhao Zhongyong hurriedly got up, and said with a little trepidation in excitement, "Thank you Su Xiang." ”

Su Dingfang just nodded slightly in return and did not speak.

Li Hong's eyes moved to the body of the black tooth Changzhi, and he glanced at this Baekje brave general, the future famous general of the Tang Dynasty, and his eyes flowed with appreciation.

"What does Your Highness think?" Su Dingfang asked.

"Brave and strategic, he can be a general." Li Hong said lightly.

Su Dingfang smiled with satisfaction, "His Royal Highness's evaluation is very pertinent, Chang Zhi is indeed a rare leader. ”

Immediately, he turned back to the black tooth Changzhi and said, "You heard, Your Highness has such a high opinion of you, you must work hard in the future, and you must not let Your Highness down." ”

Su Dingfang admonished Heizhi Changzhi like a teacher teaching students, and Heizhi Changzhi treated Su Dingfang respectfully like a student, and hurriedly got up and said to Li Hong, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Prince." ”

said to Su Dingfang again, "Su Xiang, Chang Zhi knows." ”

Just now, his name for Su Dingfang also changed, and he began to call him Su Xiang. It's just that the current Heiya Changzhi cares more about Li Hong's evaluation, because Li Hong is the crown prince and the future king of the Tang Dynasty. Li Hong's current attitude indicates his future attitude, and Heizhi Changzhi knows that with Li Hong's evaluation today, his career will not be smooth in the future.

"Su Xiang, what do you think of establishing an academy in Chang'an City that specializes in cultivating military children?" Li Hong asked. When Su Dingfang heard Li Hong say this, his eyes lit up and asked, "Your Highness is talking about an academy that specializes in cultivating generals?" ”

"Yes." Li Hong replied, "Just like the Taixue and Guozijian of the Tang Dynasty, establish the military's own academy to cultivate all kinds of talents that the military needs." ”

Su Dingfang was moved, that is, the Tang Dynasty is still martial, but there is no academy dedicated to training military generals, and now Li Hong wants to open such an academy, which is equivalent to more affirming the status of military generals in the Tang Dynasty, and Li Hong is the future emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Su Dingfang is both happy and moved. At the same time, he seemed to know Li Hong's thoughts, and asked, "Your Highness, do you have any other ideas?" ”

"Lone does have his own ambitions, but it's not convenient to tell Su Xiang here, when Su Xiang has time in the future, you can listen to Hong talk about it for you, but what does Su Xiang think about this matter in the academy now?" Li Hong asked.

"The veteran has no objection and will fully support His Highness." Su Dingfang said loudly.

"If you want Su Xiang to be the first sacrificial wine of this academy, is Su Xiang willing to cultivate more Pei Xingjian for Datang?" Li Hong asked.

Pei Xingjian is a disciple of Su Dingfang, and has obtained the essence of Su Dingfang's unified army fighting, and is the most satisfactory person for Su Dingfang. Now Li Hong asked Su Dingfang to cultivate more Pei Xingjian, which was not only a trust in Su Dingfang, but also gave Su Dingfang a lot of pressure, making the veteran hesitate a little suddenly...

"Su Xiang doesn't have to answer Lone now, he can think about it for a few more days." Li Hong said understandingly, "However, Lone still hopes that Su Xiang can win, and Lone will be able to call the shots in this matter, Lone will be in charge of Chang'an, and in the future, all military and government affairs west of Chang'an will be managed by Lone, and there is no need to ask what the father and emperor mean." Therefore, this matter is not in a hurry, you can take your time. ”

Su Dingfang was shocked, he didn't expect Li Hong's power to be so great now, and Gaozong trusted the prince so much.

"However, Lone will only stay in Chang'an City for a while, and he will go to Mount Tai in October to follow his father and emperor to seal Zen, and then the government and military affairs will be handed over to Su Xiang." Li Hong said sincerely.

"The veteran will definitely live up to His Highness's expectations!" Su Dingfang assured.

In fact, there is not much time for Li Hong now, he is about to inspect the northwest immediately, if time allows, he will probably have to leave for Luoyang when he comes back from the northwest, and he will say these words to Su Dingfang.

The words were almost finished, and everyone drank three more glasses of wine, then got up and got on their horses and went straight to Chang'an City.
