These secret reports came from different people, but the content was indeed roughly the same, and the court sighed again.

Some people praised Li Chengqian's martial arts, some people lamented that Cheng bit Jin in time, and some people questioned why the guards of Jingzhou City were empty, but everyone breathed a sigh of relief, after all, the border crisis had been lifted, and there was no need to worry about the Turks suddenly attacking their doorstep.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Gao Changguo is treacherous, so you might as well let General Cheng and them go to crusade!"

"By all means, we have no substantive evidence, and we will crusade against the subject countries at will, so what do other subject countries think!"

"The Turks have been hit hard by this, and if we take advantage of the victory, we may be able to shake their foundations."

The court was still arguing, but in the end he still didn't pay attention, Li Shimin secretly gave a reply letter and asked Li Chengqian to lead the troops to watch it himself, and after this battle, Li Shimin's trust in Li Chengqian was even greater.

The East Palace also received a satisfactory reply, the crown princess and Li Yulong knew that they were okay so they were relieved, a few days ago I heard that Jingzhou City was in danger, and both of them were very scared, for fear that they would become widows like this.

Li Yulong looked at the familiar handwriting, and scolded while crying: "I know that let us do things, I don't know if it's okay to ask us, I have lost several pounds because I am worried about him in the past few days." ”

The crown princess has not wanted to lose weight these days, and when she heard Li Yulong's complaints, she also echoed: "These stinky men will not feel sorry for people at all, sister, I will go to eat delicious food, and then we will do things for them when we are full!" ”

Li Yulong nodded and said a little shyly: "I have to eat more these days, I will definitely be unhappy to see that I have lost weight!" ”

The crown princess pinched Li Yulong's tender face, and said with a smile: "Who doesn't know that your family likes you to be fat, don't be coy here, come and help me to eat, I haven't had a meal in the past few days." ”

The two of them went to dinner, and the brochure of the military department was also passed over, and the people compared the numbers and names, because they were all soldiers collected in Zhuangzi near Chang'an, so it was very easy to find, but the silver was sent down in three days.

The peasant families at home were immersed in grief when they heard about their family's death in battle, and when they received the heavy silver, it was like taking over the body of their own son, which they had exchanged for their lives, although they would not necessarily be able to make so much money in their lives.

The sad atmosphere spread in the Zhuangzi around Chang'an City, although his own son died, but also heard about the Tang Dynasty's victory over the Turks, knowing that his son was killed in battle, everyone felt proud, the crown princess was pregnant and inconvenient to go out of the city, so he entrusted a few good officials, and asked them to help go to the village below to personally divide the silver.

The farmers were flattered, and the officials promised that they could go to the Prince's Mansion to ask for help in the future, and that as long as it was a normal request, they would be answered, which was what everyone deserved.

The farmers who did not receive the silver also sighed in their hearts that their sons and daughters were safe and sound, which was exciting news.

said that at this time, there was a person riding a horse on the road, and he was passing by Youzhou at the border of Yizhou, but he found that something was wrong, it turned out to be Brother Liang.

Outside Yizhou City, when Li Chengqian decided to go over the mountain to Jingzhou, Brother Liang took Li Chengqian's secret letter to find Cheng Yanjin and explain the situation to him first, but when the soldiers of the state capitals were still gathered at that time, it was still two days away, so Cheng Yanjin could only wait until the second wave of sentinels arrived before dividing his troops to Jingzhou City.

After seeing Cheng Biting Jin, Brother Liang hurried back to Chang'an and entered the palace to see Li Shimin.

Li Shimin's first reaction after listening to Li Chengqian's analysis was not to believe it, but when he heard that there were few Turks in Yizhou City, and there were no people in the villages outside Yizhou City, Li Shimin felt that something was wrong, even if the Turks took people away, they would only take away women, and Zhuangzi near Yizhou City did not see any corpses or anyone, which did not seem to be the handiwork of the Turks.

So Li Shimin immediately ordered Li Junxian to transfer the remaining hundred horsemen out to follow Brother Liang to investigate the matter.

Although Brother Liang cared about Li Chengqian and them, he also knew that it would be too late for him to go over, so he took a hundred horsemen all the way to Yizhou to investigate the whereabouts of these people.

After this careful investigation, Brother Liang was finally convinced that these people did not disappear suddenly, but more like a planned departure, or that the moment the Turks attacked Yizhou City was the moment they left, and they left so decisively, leaving nothing of value.

Following the only remaining car print, Brother Liang found a mountain on the border of Youzhou, and crossing this mountain is the main road to Chang'an, Brother Liang finally felt that there was something wrong with this matter, so many people from the village left together, if they started banditry in the mountains and forests, the passing merchants would suffer.

Brother Liang thinks this not because of how smart he is, but a few years ago, there was a Wuyuan Sect in Ningbo that suddenly appeared, and the villages around Ningbo collectively sealed this Wuyuan Sect and began to rob and transport merchant ships.

Brother Liang looked at the direction of Jingzhou City with some concern, for fear that Li Chengqian and the others would win the battle, but they would be ambushed by their own people.

But he said that in Jingzhou City, Cheng Yanjin and Hou Junji were still discussing how to fight with the Turks, and they couldn't really pull the soldiers to the border and just do that, they still had to do something else.

Satisfied, but didn't bother to listen to the quarrel between the two, and left the mansion with an excuse.

Li Chengqian became the master under the leadership of Cheng Chumo and Wei Chi Baolin, and took the three big men of Gao Changguo to find a clean place to rest.

Li Chengqian watched a few people enter the courtyard, and while ordering the soldiers to protect them around, he turned around and was about to leave, Ju Ruanyu stopped him with some reluctance, "His Royal Highness the Prince, is there something wrong with you being in such a hurry?" ”

Li Chengqian looked at her and shook his head and said, "It's okay, it's just that the general is coming, I want to discuss the military situation with him." ”

Ju Ruan Yu said: "There is nothing to discuss, the Turks we met on the road were all beaten away by your soldiers, you have won a big victory in this battle, and it is impossible to say how many achievements those Turks can survive when they run to Ermeng Mountain!" ”

Li Chengqian nodded and said, "In this way, it seems that General Hou still has a lot of things to tell us, and I have to talk to him even more!" ”

Ju Ruan Yu stopped him again, but before she could say anything, she didn't know where she came out, looked at Li Chengqian standing with a big beauty, and said jokingly: "What's the situation, be careful when you get into trouble outside, I'll give you a small report when you go back!" ”

Ju Ruan Yu saw that the soldiers on the side did not stop Chengxin, and Xiangxin's appearance was neither big nor small, which was completely different from the other people's respectful appearance when they saw Li Chengqian, knowing that the relationship between the two was not thin, and he looked at it carefully.

I saw that although Chengxin was not as tall as Li Chengqian, and his figure was thin and weak, his appearance was much more handsome than Li Chengqian, and his eyebrows and eyes seemed to be sending autumn waves all the time.

Ju Ruanyu was really stunned, and she didn't notice what Li Chengqian had been talking to for a long time.

Li Chengqian also smiled when he heard that he was satisfied: "What about your little follower Xu Dong, why haven't you seen anyone in the past few days!" ”

Seeing that Li Chengqian didn't answer him, he smiled even more and said: "Don't change the topic, where did this girl come from, the crown princess is pregnant, you have a new love outside!" ”

Li Chengqian looked at the satisfaction of holding on and explained helplessly: "This is not an ordinary girl, it is the princess of Gaochangguo, and there are two people in the room who are the king and prince of Gaochangguo, both of whom were invited by General Hou, don't talk nonsense!" ”

Chengxin looked at Ju Ruanyu, who was staring at her, and shook her hand in front of her eyes, "Princess, princess!" What are you doing, why are you frozen! ”

Li Chengqian also turned to look at Ju Ruanyu, and saw that her eyes were more straightforward than looking at herself, and said with some jealousy: "The princess has taken a fancy to you, the little white face is so good-looking, now I regret getting married early!" ”

Ju Nephrite also woke up suddenly, leaving the imaginary world, and was a little gloomy when she heard Li Chengqian's words, it turned out that these two people were married, and she looked at her with a smile a little shyly.

Li Chengqian ignored her, turned his head to look at Xiangxin and said, "Why are you here, I heard that you have been busy all morning today, why don't you take a good rest!" ”

Satisfied with the angry white glance at him, "I'm resting?" Shall I rest you, the prince, to work? If it weren't for the fact that Jingzhou City would have stinked now, and did you know that those corpses would make the living sick too! ”

Li Chengqian knew that he had worked hard, so he took out a pair of crystal clear jade cups from his sleeves with a smile, and handed him a few pieces of gold: "Don't say that I'm not good to you, this is your hard work, how many people can't make so much money in their lifetime, you can take it!" ”

Ju Nephrite looked at Li Chengqian's gift like a treasure, and naturally knew that this was what he had just begged Hou Junji for, and he was a little envious of the relationship between the two, and his face naturally changed, from the anger and anger just now to the smile, it was only a few seconds.

Chengxin took the jade cup, looked at the sunshine and sighed: "This jade cup is really good, go back and get some wine to drink!" ”

As he spoke, he weighed the gold in his hand again, picked out the smallest one and said: "This piece will be given to Xu Dong, he has also worked hard in the past few days, and the dead soldiers in our house are all he went to watch the ashes refined into ashes and put them in the jar, write their names and put them on the car, he, like me, is very guilty that he escaped at a critical moment, leaving you to face the army of the Turks." ”

Li Chengqian knew the guilt of satisfaction and comforted: "It is useless for you two people who have no power to stay behind. ”
