Chapter 544: It's Hard to Be a Man

When he returned to the backyard and saw Changle's bright little face, Li Yong was very helpless.

"You, how can you be a princess, how can you let someone take care of me, nonsense!"

Li Lizhi pouted slightly.

"Am I not a princess? Won't I take care of you too? Pour tea and water for you, make a bed for you, fold quilts for you, rub your back, massage you, sew clothes for you, and wash your feet! ”

Li Yong said with a smile.

"Can that be the same? You're my wife, and she's not! ”

Li Li said with a smile.

"Of course, you are my Langjun, I should do these things for you, so, I don't want her to massage you, wash your feet, make a bed and fold quilts for you, I just want her to wash your clothes, or your clothes are torn and sewn and mend for you, and, but she is a princess after all, her father should allow her to bring a few maids, after all, she is a daughter, if she is inconvenient in the army, she is a princess after all, and her father always has to give him some decency, so there is no need for Princess Silla to take care of you herself, she tells the maids!"

Li Yong shook his head slightly.

"I really don't need to be taken care of, and it's not convenient for me to be taken care of in the army."

Li Lizhi pouted.

"Okay, okay, it's me who has a lot of things, it's all right?"

Hearing this, Li Yong reached out and pinched her little mouth with some amusement, and said with a smile.

"Angry? I'm not blaming you, I know you care about me. ”

Li Lizhen didn't really get angry, came up and hugged Li Yong's arm and smiled.

"Alright, let's stop talking about that."

Li Yong nodded after hearing this.

"Well, it's really not time to talk about that, it's time for us to get down to business!"

Li Lizhi asked curiously when she heard this.

"Business? What's the matter? ”

Li Yong said with a smile.

"In order to avoid going on the expedition, you have to think about the male and female when you see a pig's head, can't you do more serious things before the expedition?"

Li Liqing's pretty face suddenly turned red when she heard this, Li Yong directly picked her up by the waist, and strode into the inner room, and then of course it was the time of ecstasy with vivid color, but when Li Yong thought of Li Xueyan, Zheng Liwan, Xiaoxue, Wu Cao, Chunlan, Yingluo, Lin Ruoxi, Luo Fengxiang and other women, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it is really difficult to be a man! Although there was still a lot of discussion between the government and the opposition, the court was running rapidly, thanks to the emperor's early preparations last winter, the army was ready to move at any time, just waiting for an auspicious day of the zodiac. Li Yong left the Xishan Courtyard, and did not accompany the carriage, nor did he bring much salute, but he brought a package on the horse, with the black Xishan armor on his body, the short musket inserted on the right waist, and the Xishan black knife hanging on the left waist.

"Son, be careful!"

"I wish my grandfather a smooth journey and an early victory!"

"I wish my grandfather success!"

"I wish my grandfather a safe return!"

Li Yong's parents and the people who saw him off have instructed and blessed him, this era is like this, it is a glorious thing for a man to go on the expedition, but it is also full of sadness and reluctance, Li Yong clenched his fists in his chest, looked around and said loudly.

"Father and mother, and everyone, after I go on the expedition, the peace of the family depends on the big guys, although the Xishan Courtyard is outside Chang'an City, and Chang'an has always been peaceful, but after the saint's royal expedition, there will be bold people who take the opportunity to do evil, so you must strengthen your vigilance!"

"Grandpa, don't worry! The little ones also practice in their leisure time on weekdays, no matter what happens, the little ones will guard the Xishan Courtyard, and they will not let the gangsters disturb the people in the house! ”

Everyone said in unison, Li Dazhui just nodded, and Li Yong's mother was reluctant to speak, since the establishment of Xishan to the present, these displaced people are getting better and better, the younger generation has a chance, and the juniors have more head, so they cherish this hard-won good day even more, if anyone wants to be unfavorable to Xishan Courtyard, then they have to pass their level first, and Xishan is a semi-militarized town, and young people practice with the Xishan camp in their spare time, although it is not a strong martial arts, But everyone is also practicing in formation, and they will not be really afraid of the gangsters, not to mention that the Xishan battalion is not all dispatched, and there are still troops left behind, plus the militarized fortress and weapons in Xishan, ordinary people will not be able to attack it, after Li Yong said goodbye to his parents, he looked at Changle, Wu Cao and others affectionately, and said with a smile.

"Alright, you all go back!"

"Lang Jun can rest assured that he will go on the expedition 1 When he is out on the expedition, he doesn't have to worry about his family, there is me at home, and the troops left behind, with Ruoxi and Sister Xiang here, it will be fine!"

Li Lizhi helped Li Yong's mother and said firmly, Li Yong mentioned to her yesterday that if there was anything, she would mobilize all the armed forces of the Xishan Battalion and flee to Chang'an City, but Li Lizhi she was unwilling, and Wu Cao and they were not willing, because for all of them, this is their home, the home they swear to defend to the death, in fact, Li Yong just said this for the sake of foolproofness, seeing that Changle and they all wanted to stay in Xishan Courtyard, they didn't say much, thinking that Li Er had been on the throne for so many years and single-handedly established a prosperous era, and the throne was stable, It shouldn't be possible to have any chaos, of course, Li Yong's worries are not without reason, his appearance has changed the course of history, originally Li Shimin couldn't have gone east so quickly, Li Chengqian and Hou Junji didn't hook up so quickly, Li Chengqian and Hou Junji are both masters who want to rebel, who knows if they will take advantage of the emperor's expedition to make trouble? If Li Chengqian and Hou Junji really commit rebellion, who knows what kind of chaos will occur in Chang'an? It's just that he can't say some things, after all, Li Chengqian hasn't shown any objection, he is still the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and he is still one of the emperor's favorite sons, for Li Er, his son-in-law is more important, or his own son Li Chengqian is the most important, of course, his own son is more important, so if Li Yong says that Li Chengqian will rebel, Li Er may not believe it, not only will he not believe it, but I am afraid that he will suspect him of meddling in the dispute between the prince and sowing discord, so Li Yong can only bury this matter in his heart, no one can say it, but, think about it, Even if Li Chengqian rebelled, if he wanted to be angry, he would look for him, so as not to come to Changle and them, besides, Li Chengqian should not be stupid enough to rebel at this time, so rest assured that he would go on the expedition! Li Yong waved his hand and said with a smile.

"Alright, let's go back!"

After finishing speaking, Li Yong did not delay any longer, and urged the horse to gallop into the distance, the calf with a group of guards immediately urged the horse to follow, just now Li Lizhi still had a smile on her face, but when Li Yong rode away, her tears were like beads with broken threads, at this moment she finally realized the mood of the former mother when she sent her father to the emperor, this kind of worry and reluctance is really unbearable for a moment, Li Yong's mother, Chunlan, Yingluo, Lin Ruoxi also cried like Changle pear blossoms with rain, even the always tenacious Wu Cao also wet his eyes, Because this is different from when Li Yong went south, this is the Eastern Crusade! Luo Xiangfeng, who has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, also has red eyes, clenching her silver teeth tightly, even if she has seen and knows how many life and death partings, she can't control her mood at this moment, she regrets it very much, she should insist on pretending to be a personal soldier and go out with the battle, which is much stronger than worrying about lovesickness here, Li Lizhi wiped her tears and said softly.

"Okay, mother, and you don't have to cry, Lang Jun went out with the car, how unlucky it is to cry!"

Li Yong's mother, Chunlan, Yingluo, and Lin Ruoxi hurriedly wiped their tears, trying to endure not to cry again, Wu Cao persuaded.

"Mother, and everyone rest assured, this time the army will be victorious, and Grandpa will definitely return safely!"

Li Lizhi nodded and said softly.

"Well, let's go back, after Lang Jun sets out on the expedition, we will close the door and thank the guests, and let's live in a simple place!"

Li Dazhui and his wife, as well as Chunlan and the others all nodded and sent Li Yong away, they suddenly felt empty in their hearts, although it was about to be the time for the spring flowers to bloom and the grass to grow and the warbler to fly, but how could they be in the mood to go to the spring to play? It is better to chant and pray in the house to pray for Li Yong, Li Yong galloped on his horse and went straight to the Shenji camp, but there was a carriage blocking the way in front of him, and there were dozens of horse guards next to him. You won't be stupid enough to rob him, will you? There are more than 100 riders behind him! Li Yong restrained the war horse, but found that a few of them were a little familiar, as if they had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember where they had seen it for a while.

"Miss! Rongfu County is here! ”

The guard next to the carriage said in a low voice, the door of the carriage opened, and a beautiful maid walked out of it, and a bright face was revealed behind the maid, who was not Wang Jiu'er? In the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, she listened to the long and short sentences written by Li Yong to Li Lizhi on the shore of the West Lake, and couldn't help but be stunned for a while, the poem was written too well, but it made her a little sad, because she knew that it was precisely because of Li Yong's deep love for Princess Changle that she could write deeply emotional poems, and it was precisely because she listened to Li Yong's poems to Princess Changle that she was so sad, so she did not go north to Chang'an, but returned to the ancestral land of Taiyuan, Li Yong never wrote poems to her, let alone wrote such affectionate poems, Wang Jiuer suddenly felt so frustrated, Since Li Yong married the princess and has a deep relationship with the princess, what else does she think about Li Yong doing? So, forget about Li Yong! Wang Jiu'er stayed away from Chang'an and returned to her ancestral land, wanting to forget Li Yong, but since she was already in love, how could she forget? Although Wang Shengnan couldn't bear not to come to Chang'an, when she knew that the imperial court was going to go east, she couldn't help but immediately set off to Chang'an, because she knew that since the imperial court was going to use troops against Liaodong, it would definitely use the Shenji Battalion, which meant that Li Yong would definitely go on an expedition to conquer Liaodong! The three eastern crusades of the former Sui Dynasty, the rejuvenating army of millions, I don't know how many people died but all returned in vain, so it was really dangerous for Li Yong to go out with the army.

"Who should I be so bold as to dare to block the way, it turned out to be you! It's been nearly a year since we went south, how are you? ”

Li Yong got off the horse and said with a smile, after asking, Li Yong found that Wang Jiu'er was a little less bright than before, but the reduction was great, and it felt like the white clothes were better than the snow.

"I'm fine, homesick, so I went back to Taiyuan to live for a while!"

Wang Jiu'er smiled a little calmly, in fact, her heart was extremely uncalm, all the way back to Chang'an, she actually had a feeling of homesickness, the sooner she arrived in Chang'an, the more complicated the taste in her heart, there was a feeling of can't wait to see Li Yong, and there was a feeling of being afraid to see Li Yong, at this moment I really saw Li Yong, her heart was agitated, but she suppressed the excitement in her heart, Li Yong asked suspiciously.

"How did you lose so much weight? People say that every holiday is a few pounds fat, why are you still thin? ”

Wang Jiu'er couldn't help but laugh when she heard it.

"How many pounds do you gain during the holidays? It's funny what you said, but the county prince doesn't look fat, right? Could it be that the princess didn't serve you well? ”

Li Yong smiled dryly when he heard this.

"Originally, I did gain a few pounds, but I have lost weight in the last few days!"

Not to mention that it is so difficult to be a man, it is not easy to raise some meat, because the expedition is all fed to women, but Wang Jiu'er can't understand, she can't help but feel distressed when she hears it, Li Yong is worried because of the expedition! Wang Jiu'er was dissatisfied.

"The emperor is really, Silla was beaten and beaten, why did he go on the expedition? If you want to go out and let Li Jing lead the troops to go on the expedition, why do you want to drive the expedition in person? Why did you get on the road? You are all talented and not on the march, doesn't this make you risk for no reason? The three eastern crusades of the former Sui Dynasty all ended in failure, and even the dynasty was completely consumed because of this, don't the saints of today know how to learn a lesson? And the crusade! And the crusade! Today's saints have always been sage, governing the country and the people, and creating a prosperous world, and now they have begun to rejoice? Emperor Yang of Sui became the king of the fallen country because of his great achievements, Li Yong, why don't you persuade the saint? ”

Li Yong was a little helpless, how could he tell Wang Jiu'er? Is it said that this crusade was actually caused by his single-handedness? Li Yong said with a smile.

"Actually, I think the Crusade is pretty good! Time has passed, today's Tang Dynasty is no longer the former Sui, the soldiers are wide, the grain and grass are sufficient, and there are cotton clothes to keep out the cold, this time and that time, the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo will have a war sooner or later, rather than let Goguryeo annex Silla and start fighting again, it is better to take advantage of the current Goguryeo to move troops against Silla and take Goguryeo by surprise! ”

In fact, along the way, Wang Jiu'er also knew a rough idea of what happened in the court, and she also knew that what Li Yong said made sense, she was just too worried about Li Yong's expedition, so she said so, Wang Jiu'er said helplessly.

"In the matter of the Eastern Expedition, there is a reason to go on the expedition, and there is a reason not to go on the expedition, it is difficult to say, now that the Holy Decree is about to go out, it is useless to say this."

Li Yong said with a smile.

"You don't have to worry, not only cotton clothes, but also artillery, this Eastern Crusade will definitely win a big victory, and even the breakthrough of Goguryeo is not impossible, and only send more than 100,000 troops, it will not cause much burden to the Tang Dynasty, it will not make the people of the world suffer, and it will not let the world lose this peaceful and prosperous era, so you just wait for the good news, wait for the news of the triumph of the army!"

Wang Jiu'er lowered her head slightly and said softly.

"I don't care if the army is triumphant or not, I hope you can return safely!"

For Wang Jiu'er's affection, how could Li Yong not feel it? However, Wang Jiu'er is the eldest lady of the Taiyuan Wang family, and he already has Li Li's quality, even so, Wang Jiu'er is sincere, and Li Yong is not hard-hearted, how can he not feel it, Li Yong smiled.

"Don't worry, if you are not sure, the saint will not drive the expedition in person, my Shenji Battalion is mainly for long-range attacks, and I am strong in martial arts, you don't know."

Wang Shengnan instructed.

"I know that you are strong in martial arts, but there are no eyes on the battlefield, you have to remember that you are the general of the Shenji Battalion, don't rely on your high martial arts to charge into battle!"
