Where the prince stays, safety is naturally the biggest consideration. Li Hong saw Xu Wenqiang this time, which made the three chief officials of Luoyang City busy like dogs, they not only arranged places, but also did a good job of safety. However, they know very well what the level of the officials of Luoyang County is very clear, and they can't expose the identity of the prince, so they have no choice but to help Xu Wenqiang. Xu Wenqiang's sincere devotion to the crown prince was particularly important to Li Hong's safety, and when he saw the three of them asking for help, he mobilized his guards and Du Yuesheng's guards on this street near the courtyard. He had 800 guards in the Qing Gang, plus Du Yuesheng's 600 guards, and the number of guards for the two reached 1,400. Although the guards of the two are not soldiers from the military, they are also elites in a hundred battles. So 1,400 people were all deployed on this street, which made the atmosphere on this street very strange. Fortunately, the people of Luoyang have become accustomed to the high-flying and domineering of the Qing Gang, and they have long disagreed with it, otherwise they don't know what trouble they will cause.

"How's it going? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's safety is no problem, right? The county magistrate asked Xu Wenqiang.

Questionable. Xu Wenqiang said affirmatively.

"My people have been in Luoyang City for a long time, their eyes are very bright, and they will not let go of a person who wants to sneak in and be unfavorable to His Highness." Du Yuesheng also replied.

In fact, whether it was Xu Wenqiang or Du Yuesheng, both of them were very nervous, but in front of the three people of Luoyang County, the two of them pretended to be calm. As for Feng Jingyao, he has been staying in the house and not daring to come out, and it is estimated that he is nervous.

Thinking about it, one of them is just a hooligan leader in Luoyang City, and although the two are scholars, they are now in the company of hooligans and have joined the hooligan group. Like this, how could they not be nervous when they saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty?

"Gang Master Xu, it's all up to you this time." The county said.

"Don't worry, Xu will do his best." Xu Wenqiang said. It is true that he controls the three of them, but in the cooperation between the three of them and him, he also gets a lot of profits, and he has a good relationship with the three of them, and there have been no problems, so he also likes this kind of cooperation very much, and in the future, they are all court officials, and it would be better if they could maintain this cooperative relationship.

"Thank you, Helper Xu." The county commander said, turning his gaze to the county lieutenant and saying, "Is the time up?" ”。

"It's coming." The county lieutenant replied.

"Let's go and greet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince now!" The prefectural order said.

The three of them nodded slightly, followed the county order out of the courtyard, and left Xu Wenqiang and Du Yuesheng in the courtyard.

The three of them wore civilian clothes, just to facilitate meeting with the prince, because the goal was too big if they wore official uniforms, and thinking of the prince's age and identity, it was easy for everyone to guess that the young man next to them was the prince of the Tang Dynasty.

As for Xu Wenqiang, Du Yuesheng, and Feng Jingyao, they left the three of them in the courtyard, and if the three of them went out and let people who knew the three of them find out, it would only attract more attention.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, are you here?" When the three of them walked out of the alley, they saw Li Hong walking in under the escort of Chen Gong and twenty guards.

"You're early." Li Hong saw the three of them and said with a smile, "Is Xu Wenqiang here?" ”。

"I'm here, I'm waiting for your Highness in the courtyard." The county said hurriedly.

"Not bad!" Li Hong smiled, "This security work is very well done. ”

"For the safety of the crown prince, it should be, it should be." The county order flattered.

Li Hong smiled faintly.

Li Hong walked into the courtyard accompanied by the county commander, the county magistrate and the county lieutenant, and saw three middle-aged men walking quickly in front of him, bowing down and saluting, "Xu Wenqiang, Du Yuesheng, Feng Jingyao, see His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Xu Wenqiang is in the middle, the older he is, the more he is about forty, his figure is tall, and he looks like a righteous person.

Du Yuesheng is on the left, with an elegant face, but there is a fine light in his eyes, and he is a sinister and ruthless person at first glance.

Feng Jingyao was on the right, with a rich haze gathering between his eyebrows, and he was also a ruthless person at first glance.

Li Hong just glanced at the three of them in a hurry, and he could see the personality characteristics of the three people.

"Why don't you see Ding Li?" Li Hong asked.

"Ding Li has committed a crime and has been locked up in the mansion, so he didn't come to see His Highness." Xu Wenqiang explained.

However, his heart was very shocked, how could the prince suddenly ask Ding Li? It is impossible to say that Ding Li is famous and makes the prince worry about him. There is only one possibility, that is, Ding Li committed a crime.

"Get up, three of you!" Li Hong said lightly.

Xu Wenqiang, Du Yuesheng, and Feng Jingyao got up, and the county magistrate on the side hurriedly spoke, "The three of them have prepared some gifts for His Highness, and I also ask His Highness to take a look." ”

After the county order was finished, Xu Wenqiang signaled, and saw several big men move boxes one by one in front of Li Hong.

"This is 40,000 taels of gold, Xu Wenqiang wants to fund a little military expenses for His Highness's attack on Tubo, and I hope His Highness will accept it with a smile." Xu Wenqiang said. Li Hong nodded slightly, but did not refuse.

Immediately, Du Yuesheng stepped forward, handed a booklet to Li Hong and said, "Your Highness, this is some rare and orphaned books collected by our Green Gang, and I would like to ask Your Highness to take a look." ”

Li Hong's eyes flashed, he took into account all the gifts given to him by the Youth Gang, but he didn't expect to give him books, which made him look at Du Yuesheng a few times. Li Hong took the booklet, opened it and glanced at the book list on it, and he was even more moved. Because a large part of the titles written in the above list are not in the collection of the Tang royal family. Li Hong believes that the preciousness of this part of the book presented by Du Yuesheng is definitely not comparable to tens of thousands of taels of gold, this is a great wealth that Li Hong needs, a wealth that can benefit future generations.

"Du Yuesheng, you were a scholar before, and because you were helpless, you joined the Green Gang, right?" Li Hong asked Du Yuesheng.

Du Yuesheng was frightened and replied in a low voice, "Yes, Your Highness." ”

"Do you still want to read?". Li Hong asked.

"Yes." Du Yuesheng said without hesitation.

"If you want, just participate in this year's imperial examination, as long as you can win the examination, Lone will reuse you." Li Hong said. He knows very well what Du Yuesheng's identity is, and if he wants him to use Du Yuesheng in a bright and bright way, he can only bet on the mouth of the imperial history. Although he is the crown prince, it is precisely because of the identity of the prince that he is also closely watched by the imperial history, let him use a hooligan, and after the imperial historians impeach, the queen will intervene, Du Yuesheng's life will be in danger, only if Du Yuesheng is lifted, he can give Du Yuesheng a heavy responsibility.

Du Yuesheng was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly replied immediately, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Because Du Yuesheng knew that the prince just said a word to him, which already showed that the prince valued him very much, and now he only needed to clear his identity.

What Li Hong said to Du Yuesheng made Feng Jingyao very envious.

"You've already been lifted, haven't you?" Li Hong asked Feng Jingyao.

"Yes, Your Highness." Feng Jingyao hurriedly replied.

"You are talented, you can join Yu Linwei and assist Zhou Xing in doing some intelligence reconnaissance and analysis work, are you willing?" Li Hong asked. Zhou Xing, the deputy commander of Yu Linwei, is still young, and his ability in intelligence reconnaissance and analysis is still very lacking, so he needs an old man like Feng Jingyao to assist him. Because in the future, with the expansion of Yu Linwei, Zhou Xing's task will definitely be more and more onerous, and without Feng Jingyao's assistance, Zhou Xing may not be able to bear it.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Feng Jingyao was very excited, he was already excited and burst into tears, he had been looking forward to it for a long, long time, and today he finally got his wish. Although he knows that Yu Linwei is the prince's secret guard, and now that he has joined Yu Linwei, he has no official position and is not a person in the officialdom. But the crown prince is the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty and the future emperor of the Tang Dynasty. As long as the crown prince ascends the throne and becomes the emperor in the future, will his official functions be able to run?

"Your Highness......"

Seeing that Du Yuesheng and Feng Jingyao were taken in by the prince for his own use, although Xu Wenqiang was anxious, he could still bear it, but the three people from Luoyang County on the side couldn't help it.

"We'll talk about you in a few days." Li Hong turned around and said to the three people of Luoyang County.

"Yes. Your Highness! The three of them hurriedly replied.

Because of the prince's words, they knew that they were fine, and if something happened, the prince would not talk to them like this.

"Xu Wenqiang, fight for such a foundation in Luoyang City with your bare hands, Lone admires you very much." Li Hong said to Xu Wenqiang.

"Xu Wenqiang is willing to serve His Highness." Xu Wenqiang said.

"Lone gives you two choices, first, follow Cheng Dazhi and assist him in the tasks assigned to him by Lone; Second, follow Lone's side and participate in this great war against Tibet, if you make a contribution, Lone will give you the title of official and knight, and then entrust you with important tasks. Take your pick! Li Hong said.

Regarding Xu Wenqiang, Li Hong attaches more importance to cultivating him separately in order to cope with the shortage of talents he will encounter in the future.

"I am willing to follow His Highness and make contributions." Xu Wenqiang made a decision without thinking about it.

"Sure enough, I didn't disappoint Lone......," Li Hong said with a smile.

Xu Wenqiang also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"Your Highness, they have also prepared two gifts for you..."The county order was about to speak, but Li Hong stopped, "Forget about the beauty, send it back." As for the Qing Gang, it was handed over to Cheng Dazhi, and Gu had already told him what to do. In the past few days, you will first assist him in rectifying the Qing Gang, and then return to Chang'an with Gu. ”

"No!" Xu Wenqiang was stunned for a moment, and then replied.

The prince even knew about the gifts they had prepared, this is too powerful, right?

In fact, the reason why Li Hong admires Du Yuesheng so much is because he knows all the gifts that Xu Wenqiang and they prepared for him, because Yu Linwei had already detected and reported to him when they were preparing, but Yu Linwei did not find out about the book, it can be seen that this is not prepared yesterday, but Du Yuesheng's own collection, a hooligan leader, can collect so many books, study so carefully, must not be a person who is really willing to be a hooligan, such a person is cultivated, there will be high achievements, Li Hong is good at cultivating talents, Naturally, I don't want to lose a talent like Du Yuesheng.
