"General. This is what my prince arranged. My lord said they brought things they shouldn't have brought. With undeserved ambitions. So the prince sent us to rob them. Otherwise, how could they still be alive. Zhao Dahu told Li Shen's words to Wei Chi Hongbo

"I brought something I shouldn't have brought with me. has undeserved ambitions," Wei Chi Hongbo muttered repeating Zhao Dahu's words, then looked at Zhao Dahu and said, "I can't trust you all based on your words alone." I can't let you go. ”

"General, this is a handwritten note from the prince. You see. Zhao Dahu handed Wei Chi Hongbo a piece of paper.

Yu Chi Hongbo opened it and saw that there was a word, and it was stamped with the big seal of King Ji's mansion. Zhao Dahu continued: "The prince ordered, and the lord let the lower officials burn it after reading it. Adults should not have seen it. The general was relieved about the matter. No one in the DPRK will blame the general. The prince estimated that it was just a fake investigation. But the general just said that he didn't see anyone. ”

Yu Chi Hongbo watched Zhao Dahu take out the fire fold and burn the paper. It's also measuring whether it's true or not. But he already believed seven or eight points in his heart.

"Okay, you go back and tell King Ji that if someone is desperately tracked down, I can't guarantee that I won't tell the truth." He is not Li Shen's diehard loyalist either. If it's really big. can only confess Li Shen.

"The general can rest assured, the prince will arrange it."

"Alright, then you can go." Yu Chi Hongbo said to Zhao Dahu, since it has been decided. Then it's clean.

The two of them went back to their respective teams. Zhao Dahu also asked people to unload 500 dead horses and leave them for Yu Chi Hongbo. led the team in the direction of Chang'an.

"General, is this going for them to go? Who are they? The adjutant on the side asked in a low voice.

"Don't you see that they are all merchants? Where did the bandits come from. I think the bandits must have run away with supplies. These people are just merchants passing by, picking up some horses that have not been pulled. What's all the fuss. Quickly send someone to dispose of the horse. Go back and let the soldiers open the meat. I haven't eaten meat for a month. Wei Chi Hongbo said loudly to the adjutant. It's also for other people.

"Tell the people below that we chased out more than a hundred miles today and saw no trace of the bandits. It was getting late, so we came back. Don't say things you shouldn't say. Finally, Wei Chi Hongbo commanded

The soldiers only heard that they ate meat, and they didn't care about the rest. A group of people began to pack up the horses and divide them. Five hundred horses were packed up until it was almost dark. The soldiers were each happy. That's enough meat for them to eat for many days. After packing up, Chi Hongbo's whole team went back to the camp.

In the yamen of the county seat, Lu Dongzan has been waiting here. The more I think about it, the more wrong it becomes. Where did such a sophisticated cavalry come from in the territory of the Tang Dynasty. Besides, it's so close to the capital of Chang'an. If so, it would have been wiped out for you a long time ago. And looking at the momentum of these people, I didn't feel anything at the time. Now that I think about it, they are all elite soldiers who have been rigorously trained.

Disciplined, so many people together without a single talk. And unity of action. This is clearly the army. And a well-equipped and well-trained army. He immediately thought in his mind whether it was the Tang Emperor who did it.

Their books are all bought secretly. Only the Emperor's forbidden army had such discipline and equipment. But he denied it. If Li Shimin wants to deal with him, then he will definitely not survive. And he didn't wait for him to get out of the customs, and it was clear that he knew that it was the Tang people who did it.

Suddenly, Lu Dongzan thought of someone. It's definitely him.

Waited until it was almost dark. Wei Chi Hongbo came back. Lu Dongzan hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "General Wei Chi." How's it going. Do you want to take back our supplies? ”

Yu Chi Hongbo pretended to be tired, sat down and drank a cup of tea and said, "Hey~~ Daxiang, when I arrived, I didn't see the thief you said." According to the traces, I led my troops to chase out for more than 100 miles. Still no sign of the thief was seen. Seeing that it was getting late, we came back. It seems that these thieves are very familiar with the terrain. Good at hiding your whereabouts. ”

"Well, that's good." Lu Dongzan felt sorry for those books and craftsmen

"Great peace of mind. I immediately sent troops to Chang'an to report the incident. If you dare to rob the envoys of neighboring countries, Your Majesty will definitely send people to encircle and suppress them. The prime minister might as well wait here," Yu Chi Hongbo comforted Lu Dong and praised.

"That's General Law. Please also speak to Your Majesty. Our horses are gone. Hope you can give us some horses and gear. So that we can be safer on the way back. As for supplies, don't do it. It's all something outside of the body. Lu Dongzan already had a guess in his heart. If it was the person he had in mind, the thing and the person would definitely not be able to be recovered. Rather than wait in this white. It's better to go back to Tibet earlier to make plans.

"Okay, Daxiang will rest here for a few days. I send fast horses. Will be back soon. I'll go and arrange it first. Daisaki rests early. After speaking, Wei Chi Hongbo got up and went home.

Lu Dongzan watched Yu Chi Hongbo leave and couldn't help but talk. The person he guessed was King Ji Li Shen. Because he remembered what Li Shen said when he was leaving, what we give you is yours.

It means that if you are not allowed to move, you should not move. He knew that Li Shen knew about letting the family secretly buy all kinds of books. And also took away the craftsmen. So Li Shen sent someone to rob him. Fortunately, this King Ji did not send someone to kill them.

"Lao Shizhen sent someone to rob Lu Dongzan?" Li Shimin asked uncertainly after listening to Li An's report

"Yes, Your Majesty, the hundred cavalry followed the cavalry of the palace all the way to Niuji Mountain in Shuiqing County. I saw with my own eyes that what happened was in the twists and turns. Moreover, the hundred cavalry also said that the combat effectiveness of this cavalry in the palace was not inferior to Yu Linwei. In terms of military discipline in a single round, it is slightly better, hundreds of people and horses can stay in the forest at the foot of the mountain to be uniform, and no one or a horse makes a sound. It can be seen how strict the discipline is. Training should also be hard. Li An told Li Shen's cavalry battalion by the way

"Oh? The strength is not weak Yu Linwei, and the military discipline is higher than that of Yu Linwei. Isn't that also elite? Li Shimin's curiosity immediately hooked up. Yulin Wei Ke is a forbidden army and is only responsible for protecting Li Shimin. It can be said that each one is carefully selected.

"Yes, Your Majesty. It seems that King Ji is also very proficient in military affairs. originally thought it was his subordinate Lang General Xue Rengui who was training. Later, the hundred horsemen of the palace said that most of the training plans were written by King Ji to Xue Rengui.

Xue Rengui trained according to what King Ji wrote with slight modifications. And some time ago came the news. I heard that King Ji is forming a special army. There is no word on what it is doing.

But now the soldiers of the royal palace, including the officers, are strengthening themselves. said that the person who joined this team, the official to the sixth grade, although he has no real power, but he has treatment. are ten times more than ordinary soldiers. I heard that the selection time is set for spring. "Ang Lee is in charge of the Hundred Cavalry Division, including the intelligence system. So I still know a lot about the affairs of King Ji's Mansion.

"Oh?" Li Shimin became curious about the special arms that Li An said
