Li Yuan took his son Jiancheng, Shimin and a group of subordinates to the north bank, changed into a carriage and headed for Mengjin City. To read the latest chapters of this book, please go to Baidu to search: Novel Network Li Shimin had a leg injury and couldn't ride a horse, so a comfortable carriage was arranged.

It was already dark, and the carriage followed behind Li Yuan's horse. Although he was sitting in the carriage, he was still bumpy, and the left leg of the calf bone was broken by Chen Pojun's arrow during the day, and there was a heart-wrenching pain in this turbulent wave.

Li Shimin sat hard, lifted the curtain of the carriage with one hand, and looked at his father who couldn't suppress his excitement on the side. His father was like a star and a moon by Pei Lin and other Li family's civil and military ministers, and by his father's side, the eldest brother Jiancheng followed closely behind, and he was also guarded by the ministers.

Sitting in the gloomy carriage, he looked coldly at his eldest brother, Li Tang's son. Jiancheng was so close to his father, and at this time, he was wearing a purple gorgeous robe, and he could even see that there were faint traces of leather armor inside the robe. The eldest brother Jiancheng is ten years older than him, but he was born in the same year as Chen Pojun. Although compared with Chen Pojun, his eldest brother does not have the decisive heroic spirit of Chen Pojun, nor does he have the heroic spirit of vertical and horizontal eyes.

However, Li Jiancheng was born in the family of the Guanlong aristocratic gate valve since he was a child, and as the eldest son of the Guogong Mansion, he was deeply educated by the nobility. Although he was not like him, he had been bloody on the battlefield in Liaodong, but Li Jiancheng was very much like his father. He is handsome in appearance, and gentle and elegant, corporal Lixian, and he is also deeply liked by Li Tang's subordinates in Hedong. It's just that the more this is the case, the more uncomfortable Li Shimin's heart becomes.

Especially when he saw Li Shimin's golden-crowned and purple robe at this time, with fresh clothes and angry horses, and the appearance of a handsome aristocratic prince, he gritted his teeth even more angrily. How many times has he been born and died for the Li family, with a mountain of knives and arrows, and a sea of blood. even bears a lot of infamy in the world, and because of this, he also broke his arm and disfigured. But in the end, the eldest brother was designated as the heir of the Li family early just because he was born early, and even now he is the son of the Tang Dynasty. Sitting back and enjoying all this he exchanged for his life, his heart was extremely unwilling.

No matter what he did, he was not as good as his eldest brother, he would always do better, attracting the attention and praise of his parents. After so many years, he is finally better than his eldest brother, doing better, and making more contributions to the Li family, but a few people see this. Now he is sitting lame in this carriage, but the eldest brother is surrounded by the stars and the moon around his father.

Li Shimin lowered the curtain hatefully, he was the only one in the dim carriage, he raised his right hand, and his thumb gently turned a purple gemstone ring on his middle finger. The renewal ring was beautiful, and the purple glow lingered on the hand like a puff of mist.

But it's not just an ordinary gemstone ring, it's actually a hollow ring. Under that purple gem, there is a small space. At this moment, there was a purple poison hidden inside, which had been ground into a fine powder. He gently pushed the purple gem with his thumb and examined the small pinch of purple deadly poison again. In the end, he was satisfied with the gem and put it back in its original place, and tonight, he will use these to settle the grudge with Chen Pojun. Of course, if he had the chance, he wouldn't mind putting some in his eldest brother Li Jiancheng's wine glass. Of course, he wouldn't be stupid enough to use this poison too, and he sewed a few small hidden pockets into his sleeves. Now, there was a bag of spare poison in that pocket that no one knew about, and if there was a chance, he would let his eldest brother follow Chen Pojun to be a companion.

The carriage stopped, and the voice of the guards came from outside, "General, it's already here." ”

Several guards carried a soft couch and tried to carry him into the city. …,

The night wind is sharp, the night wind is sharp, full of the breath of the Yellow River, blowing through the city of Mengjin, and whispering is heard. Torches swayed on the walls of Mengjin, and along the walls there was a circle of camps, where bonfires were blazing, as if the sky was full of stars falling to the dust. The night sky was dark and moonless, with only a few stars hanging in the sky.

The moon is dark and kills the night, and the wind is high and the sky is on fire. Li Shimin stood there and retracted his gaze, and secretly said a sentence in his heart.

The gate of Mengjin City is not tall, but it is more than three feet, but at this time, this small Mengjin City is full of soldiers and horses from Hebei. The flags on the city tower are densely displayed, and under the illumination of the torches, the neat Hebei soldiers stand at the head of the city, and the spears in their arms shine faintly.

The city gate has been opened, and the suspension bridge on the moat has been lowered, but the neat group of Hebei soldiers at the city gate, holding spears and knives, and their eyebrows are cold, but it makes him feel a chill at this black hole open city gate. Looking at this city gate, he always has a feeling that he has no return.

His father and eldest brother had already dismounted in front of the city gate, and he got off the carriage with the support of Chai Shao, and he sent away the guards carrying the soft couch, and decided to go in alone, so that he would be more sincere. So Li Shimin, under the attention of a team of Hebei sergeants, with a cane, and with the support of Chai Shao and Li Xiaogong, limped onto the suspension bridge, passed through the city gate hole, and entered the lively Mengjin City.

The General's Mansion in the city is the place where Chen Pojun will have a banquet tonight.

Eight Hebei guards opened the heavy Zhu Gate, and the noise and strong light suddenly penetrated out, Li Shimin looked at his embarrassed appearance, and was very satisfied, and pushed away the support of Chai Shao and Li Xiaogong, two friends and powerful subordinates, and limped into this lively and noisy mansion on crutches.

In the staggered collision of cups and chips and the whispered conversation between the banquets, he heard Wang Shichong from a distance, "King Chen is a hero, and the ministers will only be the first to follow King Chen in the future!" The shameless sycophancy.

The hall was so spacious that it was originally the lobby of the General's Palace, but now it has been used as a banquet venue. Standing at the end of the hall, he was nearly twenty zhang away from the top of Chen Pojun, who was high above. There are coal-fired pots all around the hall, so that the hall does not feel the cold of March spring at all, only the warmth is the same.

Pink gauze tents hang down from the beams in the hall, and on the stone slabs of the hall, under Chen Pojun's seat, there are two long seats on the left and right. On the four rows on both sides, a few small cushions were full of civil and military soldiers of the Chen, Tang, and Zheng families. Among them, the soldiers of Hebei were alone in the two rows on the right side of Chen Pojun, while the chief ministers of the Tang and Zheng families were in one row. The more powerful Wang Shichong led his subordinates to the front, and his father Li Yuan and eldest brother Jiancheng took Pei Lin and other civil and military officers to the rear.

The banquet had just begun, and a team of guards and servants were shuttling back and forth with a series of wine and food, golden roast sheep, fragrant roast suckling pig, and even beef and beef tendon that ordinary people would never have had the opportunity to eat in their lives. In addition, close to the Yellow River, there are naturally many fresh stews in the river, braised and steamed at the banquet.

The banquet is a system of divided meals, and a small table in front of everyone is already full at this time.

Almost all the people who went to the banquet had arrived, but Li Shimin, Li Xiaogong, and Chai Shao were at the end. Li Shimin looked at his father, under his father and Jiancheng, it was Pei Lin who was sitting, and there was a vacant seat under Pei Lian. He knew that his father's arrangement must be so that he would not be too far forward and attract Chen Pojun's attention. The seats of Chai Shao and Li Xiaogong were still in the back, and they were almost at the bottom of Li Tang's side.

"Xiaogong, Sichang, you can also go and take a seat, I can go there by myself." …,

Li Shimin walked forward alone, and from a distance, he could see Chen Pojun raising his glass to invite a drink, full of laughter, and indescribably proud. He limped slowly, his right thumb stroking and turning the gemstone ring on his middle finger imperceptibly.

Looking at Chen Pojun at the top, Li Shimin forgot to pay attention to his feet. When he walked more than halfway through the hall, Luo Shixin, who was outside on his right, looked at him and suddenly sneered, and smiled with the two brothers Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin on the left and right.

Li Shimin's one leg is tightly packed, and at this time, one arm has to support a crutch, and it is indescribably awkward and difficult to walk out. But in order to achieve his goal, he still supported it step by step, and he had to pretend to be guilty on his face. The originally noisy hall finally quieted down under the sound of Li Shimin's crutches.

Everyone no longer exchanged heads and ears, nor did they whisper, and their eyes stayed on Li Shimin. During the day, Li Shimin had just been disrespectful to Chen Pojun because of his unruliness, and provoked Chen Pojun to shoot his left leg with an arrow and insult him fiercely. Everyone didn't understand, it had only been half a day, why did Li Shimin appear again at this moment of celebration.

After tonight, Chen Pojun is going back to Hebei, Wang Shichong doesn't want to have any more accidents, he is still waiting for Chen Pojun to help him deal with Li Mi. At this time, when he saw Li Shimin coming up, he couldn't help but look at Li Yuan suspiciously with a wine glass, not understanding what this old fox was doing.

High on the top position, Chen Pojun saw Li Shimin walk in, and an imperceptible sneer appeared on his face. Although he is not sure whether what was said in the letter sent by the eldest grandson Shunde is true or false, Chen Pojun has long been guarding against the Li family's father and son, and how can he be careless about Li Shimin. At this time, seeing Li Shimin walking in as if he had suddenly changed a person, he had completely believed what the eldest grandson Shunde said in his heart.

Holding a wine glass in his hand, Chen Pojun stood up and smiled at Li Shimin, "Erlang is injured and should be recuperating at home, why did he come here?" ”

Li Shimin limped forward, while trying to pretend to be sincere, and said in a low manner, "I deeply feel that I have disrespect for King Chen in the past, and now I have come to bear the guilt."

He hadn't finished speaking, but Luo Shixin suddenly stretched out a leg to stop in front of him. As a result, he tripped on it, and suddenly his center of gravity was unstable, and a former servant had already let go of the crutches in his hand, and the whole person fell to the ground like a dog gnawing mud.

"Bang!" There was a loud bang.

Immediately afterwards, a crisp sound of "pop" sounded, and Li Shimin's left calf, which had just been connected, broke again with a snap.
