"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is driving on the canal, why don't you know that I am a courtier?" Li Shimin asked the Xuanjia cavalry guards around him to withdraw, and he himself put away the sword in his hand and pinned it to his waist, because he knew that Ye Lingfeng's martial arts were strong, although he had done something rebellious on the surface, but he still had to have due respect when facing the current royal family, otherwise he would fall into the truth.

Ye Lingfeng led the army to press towards Li Shimin step by step, Li Valve's army and the big ships in the canal immediately began to prepare for war, and after getting closer, he looked at the fully armed ship and sailor below, and said with a smile: "Shimin, you said that your Li Valve's ship is so vigilant, and just now you were fighting with the important ministers around my royal family, Yuwen Valve, this is not what a courtier should do?" ”

Li Shimin scolded secretly in his heart after hearing this, but he still smiled slightly on his face, and sent his subordinates to transmit the voice: "His Royal Highness the Prince, this is not a misunderstanding, our Li Valve is to protect the imperial court sailors, so we deliberately took action, that Yuwen valve wolf ambition, in this dangerous place sneak attack back to the Chaoshui Division, our Li Valve was eager to rescue, and used some powerful water war traps, which frightened His Highness." ”

Ye Lingfeng smiled faintly, this Li Shimin would say that what he said was right, but he hid the purpose of sending troops today, and he didn't expose it, he really wanted to provoke this Li Shimin into anger, their Li Valve's army really fought with the Sui army under his command now, and he was not sure that he would be able to win.

Li Shimin said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here, this is not far from Taiyuan, the hometown of my Li Valve's family, why don't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince come to my Li Valve's family for a visit?" ”

"I heard that His Royal Highness went to the Song Valve some time ago, and married the eldest daughter of the Song Valve Lord Song Que, this is a great joy, if it weren't for the fact that Shimin happened to have some important things at that time, he couldn't go in person, otherwise he would have to congratulate him in person."

Ye Lingfeng was disdainful in his heart, the marriage between our royal family and the transcendent and independent Song Valve among the four major valves, it would be strange if you were really happy, hey, I want you to know that Song Yuzhi, who has always regarded you as a concubine in the future, also ran away together, I guess you have to be angry.

Of course, Ye Lingfeng won't say it explicitly, he took Fu Junwu and Zhang Xutuo, and came to Li Shimin's Xuanjia cavalry, Ye Lingfeng chuckled: "Shimin, I don't mean anything else, you Li Valve and my royal family are friendly, Yu Wenhua and wolf ambitions, you teach a lesson, I see it in my heart, and I will tell my father and the emperor." ”

"As for going to Li Valve's house to rush to Taiyuan, then forget it, but I also have one thing to ask for, I want one person from the army under the command of your father Li Valve, his name is Li Jing, this person has a grudge with the soldiers of the private army around me, I am the master of the natural decision, right?"

Li Shimin was slightly surprised, but this was really not an excessive request for him, the son of the lord, Li Jing was also an unknown person, he had never even heard of it in Li Yuan's army, and using him in exchange for a short-term friendship with the royal family was a no-loss deal.

I just don't know what kind of person the private army next to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is, and he can be so used by him, and even solve personal grievances for him in person as the noble identity of the prince, this is no longer an ordinary favor, it can be seen that his trust in this person is extraordinary.

is not only a private army, is a general, he Li Shimin will conquer the city in the future, and compete for the world, this royal family has a general, which is not a good thing for them Li Valve in the long run, but now the royal family is slowly gathering the people's hearts under the admonition of His Royal Highness the Prince, Li Valve now needs a chance, and a short period of peace is important.

Li Jing was in this group of troops led by Li Shimin, so the two did not specifically return to Li Valve's home Taiyuan to lead people, as soon as Li Shimin's all-army adjustment order came out, Li Valve's private army dared to disobey, Li Jing was soon pushed out of the team by the small commander of his subordinates, and many Pao Ze brothers around him also reported and exposed him.

Li Jing was full of inexplicability, but Li Shimin, the young master, spoke, and he had no choice but to walk in front of Ye Lingfeng and Li Shimin, he was sturdy, with his head held high, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, wearing the armor of ordinary soldiers, and his face was full of panic.

Li Jingzu was a military general in the last generation, his family inherited a lineage, to be good at using soldiers, good at strategy, grandfather Li Xiaogong was originally a small general in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, also known as a party, and later returned to the Sui royal family, under the will of Yang Jian, his father and his children returned to the private army of Li Lord, but because it was regarded as the emperor's eyeliner, so it should not be reused.

After all, by the middle of Li Jing's generation, he was already an ordinary family, although his grandfather was famous and surrendered peacefully, but Yang Jian did not award the title, and the official position could not be hereditary, so it would naturally get worse and worse, and he still had a little inferiority complex in front of the children of officials like Li Shimin.

As soon as Ye Lingfeng saw Li Jing, he shouted loudly: "Pharmacist Li, you are guilty!" ”

Ye Lingfeng drank the internal force used, but Li Jing's side was protected by him with his true qi, and it was not affected, but Li Shimin, who was watching the play, was not so lucky, and the whole person sat down directly on the ground, and Chai Shao, who was not far behind him, frowned slightly: What's wrong with Shimin, he was actually scared by a loud shout and sat down?

Li Xiuning, the younger sister of the Li family beside him, hurriedly stepped forward to support his eldest brother, and her good-looking eyes revealed great puzzlement, in fact, he was the only one who was affected by internal forces, including Li Xiuning, Chai Shao and Li Jing, all of the Li Lord's private army, they just felt that Ye Lingfeng was just shouting loudly.

Li Shimin gasped for breath, looked at Ye Lingfeng in shock, and then saw that the people around him were looking at him with different expressions, and immediately chuckled, he already understood that Ye Lingfeng was deliberately manipulating him, that is, bullying him for his low martial arts and lack of internal strength.

Li Shimin broke free of Li Xiuning's support, waved his hand and said that he was fine, turned his head to look at Li Jing on the side, he was already stunned at this time, and responded with a bitter face: "The villain is ignorant, I really don't understand the meaning of the adult, the villain has been staying in the private army of Li Valve for so many years, and he has not done anything wrong!" ”

Ye Lingfeng glanced at Li Shimin not far away with his spare eyes, smiled lightly, and asked in a strange tone: "Okay, you Li Jing, Pharmacist Li still refuses to admit it, then let me ask you, do you recognize Qin Qiong, Qin Shubao?" ”

Li Jing is the nephew of the Sui general Han Baohu, he has read military books since he was a child, his uncle often talks with him about the ancient battles and the art of war, and also analyzes the geometry of today's generals, Qin Qiong has begun to show his head at that time, and has a small commander position, Han Baohu has also personally explained to Li Jing Qin Qiong's excellent tactics in the first battle of Xiapi, he is quite sighing about this, and his heart is full of admiration.

Li Jing was also honest, he didn't hear the meaning of Ye Lingfeng's words, and nodded straightly, mainly he had indeed heard of Qin Qiong, Ye Lingfeng asked at this time, he was really embarrassed to say that he hadn't heard of it and didn't know this person.

Ye Lingfeng smiled smugly and said, "That's not it, what else do you have to say?" Shimin, I will take this person away, I will solve the enmity between them by myself, so I don't need you to send it far, let's see you in Luoyang in January, and I will personally greet each other when the time comes, and I will be a treat to the east, okay? ”

Li Shimin was shocked in his heart: How did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince know about his agreement with that Qin Chuanji, could it be that he also received a letter from that Qin Chuan? But he is the crown prince of the dynasty and the first heir to the throne in the future, if Qin Chuan feels that he is qualified to succeed to the throne, why should he compete for the throne in Luoyang, the eastern capital?

Li Shimin was a little shocked all of a sudden, he didn't know if Ye Lingfeng was deliberately deceiving him, or if he happened to say such a sentence, but he had some doubts in his heart about the trip to Luoyang to elect the emperor a month later. However, on the surface, he didn't say much, and after a few polite words, he left directly with Li Valve's private army.

Li Xiuning looked at Ye Lingfeng's arrogant posture with deep meaning, there was a little curiosity in her eyes, and then she looked at the second brother beside her, and she was a little worried, she was Chai Shao's fiancée, and the other party surrounded her every day like a fly, she was already extremely disgusted. If Li Shimin and Li Yuan hadn't valued him very much, he would have kicked her away a long time ago.

The appearance of Ye Lingfeng, the crown prince of the dynasty, made her feel a little curious, such a young, handsome man, and able to fight with the second brother he has always admired, and he is likely to become the future son of heaven in the future, it really makes her a little curious and fascinated, but it is not love at first sight, and even the favor is very meager, but the fall of a woman always starts with curiosity about a person.

Li Jing saw that Li Shimin and the entire Li Valve's private army had run away, and he was suddenly anxious, and quickly turned to look at Ye Lingfeng, who was able to call the shots in the field, and asked, "My lord, this... My Li Valve's private army ran away, what should I do, my mother is still in Taiyuan, I can't run away by myself! ”

Ye Lingfeng patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "It's okay, aunt, I will take Chang'an to Chang'an and personally find a residence to arrange, your father's ashes relics, and all the belongings of your Li family, I will personally go to Li Valve to get them." In the future, you will be my personal commander of the private army, directly under me, and will organize the army for me and conquer the world. ”

Li Jing asked in surprise, "My lord, what do you mean by this?" ”

Ye Lingfeng said with a smile: "It means that I want to reuse you, as the crown prince of the dynasty, I want to ask you to be the commander of my personal private army, in the future, I will succeed to the position of the unification, quell the rebellion in the world, and have my own hereditary title reward, your family is in the middle of the road, there is such an opportunity to revitalize the family and glorify the ancestors, Li Jing, pharmacist, you shouldn't miss it, right?" ”
