When Li Chengqian listened to Ma Ye's report, the whole person was also a little stunned.

It seems that he is still making too much of a fuss.

However, as a guy who has experienced a lot of tempering in later generations, he is absolutely unique among his peers with such a thick skin.

Hearing this, his face was not red, his heart was not beating, and he said, "That's okay, Liu San, arrange it and prepare to leave." ”

What's wrong with being afraid of death?

Phew, that's not wrong!

Soon, the group set off again.

When he came to the foot of Hutou Mountain, Zhao Yan had already brought down the entire stockade and even brought people and supplies.

Originally, Zhao Yan still wanted to get two heads to invite merit, but since he won the village, he has no such thoughts, and there is always a feeling of shame that he is indiscriminate.

"Childe, what do you do with these people?"

Li Chengqian looked at these bandits, to be honest, he had lived two lifetimes, and he had never seen the bandits standing in front of him alive.

But at first glance, there was a lack of interest, and they all had two eyes and one mouth, and there were no legendary three heads and six arms, waving his hand and saying: "If there is anything contaminated with human life in your hand, cut it down, forget about it if it is not contaminated with human life, let them go." ”

Li Chengqian was not interested in suppressing bandits.

If it weren't for the fact that he didn't show cowardice among the people under his hands, he wouldn't be willing to kill people, in the final analysis, his thinking is still the same as that of later generations, and there is still a long way to go if he wants to completely adapt to the life of the Tang Dynasty.

Besides, they didn't rob themselves, so what does it have to do with robbing others?

As soon as Li Chengqian's voice fell, two people ran away, needless to say, these two people must have a life lawsuit in their hands.

As soon as the two of them ran, Wang Jin chased after him.

At the same time, some of the women and children immediately knelt down and shouted in despair: "Can't let them go, we won't be able to live if we let them go!" ”

Although there are families of these bandits among the women and children, more of them are taken from them and plundered, and if Li Chengqian releases these people, they will probably return to their old jobs, and their lives will be sad.

"Childe ......" Zhao Yan explained beside Li Chengqian.

When Li Chengqian heard this, he immediately said: "If you are willing to go with us, then go together, whether you find a way to go home in the future or continue to follow me, it is up to you." ”

He needs a lot of people in the future, even women, so as soon as he heard Zhao Yan's explanation, he moved his mind.

As for the others, he didn't want to care, it didn't matter if the composition was more complicated in his team, but there must not be anyone who might be hostile to him, even if it was a child.

For these women and children, this in itself is not a matter of choice.

Is it possible to stay in the robbers' den?

Immediately, a group of people said thanksgiving, and then quickly stood aside.

In Hutou Mountain, Li Chengqian did not delay too much time, there was no need and no sense.

After collecting some necessary supplies, such as weapons and iron, Li Chengqian and his party set off again.

At the same time, Chang'an, the mansion of Qin Qiong, the Duke of Yiguo.

Cheng Yanjin and Niu Jinda were also there.

The three of them are all former ministers of Wagang, and they are closer on weekdays.

Over the years, as Qin Qiong's health has deteriorated, everyone usually comes to his house to discuss things.

"Your Majesty has appointed me to lead the army in Taozhou this time, what is the deep meaning?" Niu Jinda said, frowning.

Compared to his two old brothers, he is a little slumped now.

Both of them are princes, and he hasn't even mixed up with a marquis......

However, speaking of this, several people also fell into deep thought.

Qin Qiong shook his head and said, "It's not good to say, Taozhou and Tuyuhun are at the junction, isn't Your Majesty wanting to use troops against Tuyuhun again?" ”

"This is just the end of the Turks, you won't move troops against Tuyuhun so soon, right?" Niu Jinda said, "If you really use troops against Tuyuhun, you will definitely not just move me." ”

"You're probably all at odds." Cheng Biting Jin said when he heard this, the two of them looked at him together, among the three of them, the most shrewd one should be this old guy, but he didn't hurry to speak, and looked at the servants waiting left and right.

Seeing him like this, Qin Qiong immediately waved his hand, and the servants immediately retreated, and it was not until this moment that Cheng Yanjin lowered his voice and said, "I also pondered all night last night, and I always felt that this time Your Majesty asked you to go to Taozhou to serve as the commander of the army, which may have something to do with our Highness." ”

"Something to do with the Prince?" Niu Jinda was even more confused, "Isn't the prince going to the Western Regions?" ”

Hearing him say this, Cheng Yanjin shook his head: "Why don't you understand?" The Western Turks and Tuyuhun have blocked the way to the Western Regions, who do you expect His Highness to lead more than 20 people to penetrate?

Don't say it's the prince, even if it's me, give us about 20 people, do you dare to say that you will chisel through them?

So it's not clear that His Highness can't go to the Western Regions, at least not now. ”

Qin Qiong nodded, this is such a reason, everyone has thought about this before.

"But His Highness is above the main hall, but he is sure that he wants to go to the Western Regions, if this is not done, it will have a great impact on His Highness's prestige." Niu Jinda still didn't understand.

Breaking one's word and getting fat in this era is still very discharacterful.

Cheng Yanjin said: "What is the impact, what is the impact, do people say they can't go?" Do they say when they went? No, in that case, is it okay for His Highness to prepare to go to the Western Regions in Taozhou? Who can force His Highness to go down?

If anyone really dares to do this, even if His Majesty doesn't say anything, you see if the queen will let him go. ”

Cheng Yanjin still sees all this very clearly.

It is impossible for Li Chengqian to go straight to the Western Regions, if he really wants to do this, it is really no different from sending him to death.

Therefore, the best choice is to plan in the border state capital first, or even simply stay in the border state capital.

These people have always thought that the reason why Li Chengqian ran away in a fit of anger must have been aware that there might be a crisis in Chang'an City recently.

Otherwise, how could the crown prince of the dynasty do something to kill himself in the main hall?

Because of such a misunderstanding, everyone has actually been quite cautious in recent times.

"Zhijie is right." Qin Qiong also said, "It seems that Your Majesty is preparing for the crown prince, do you remember that two days ago, Your Majesty also promoted Cui Mingyuan to Taozhou?" Now that Lao Niu has been arranged to lead the army in Taozhou, it seems that there is a chance that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will settle in Taozhou. ”

Cheng Yanjin nodded and said: "But it can also be seen, at least for now, the prince has not fallen out of favor, what is Taozhou?" That's the traditional power of the Longyou Li clan, right?

Look at Lao Niu again, Lao Niu is from Longxi Didao, right?

You say, in the sphere of influence of the Li clan in Longyou, plus the old cow from Longxi, what danger can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have?

To put it bluntly, let Lao Niu from Longxi serve as the commander of the army in Taozhou, just to take care of His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

It's just that they didn't expect that some people like to take the initiative......
