Chapter 515: Into the City
Li Shen followed Dang Renhong to Guangzhou, and the government soldiers brought by Dang Renhong protected him in front and on both sides, and the guards of the palace protected Li Shen in the center.
Li Shen also got out of the carriage, rode his white dragon horse, and rode forward with Dang Renhong.
This is Li Shen's attitude to prove his courage as a child of the royal family, and his trust in Dang Renhong.
However, Tie Niu's horse was closely behind Li Shen, and a horse lance in his hand was held in his hand, ready to protect Li Shen at any time.
Dang Renhong saw all this, the guards of King Ji's Mansion were strictly disciplined, and no one made a single voice or said a word from beginning to end.
The procession marched in a uniform manner, advancing and retreating in a measured manner, and more than 2,000 people were all in full armor, and even the horses were wearing chain mail.
And Dang Renhong has been fighting for many years, of course he has vision, and he recognized at a glance that the horses in the guard camp were Dawan horses in the Western Regions.
Dawan horses are fat and strong, otherwise even ordinary horses with armor will definitely not move.
And there are two people who pay the most attention to him, one is Xue Rengui, Dang Renhong is also a person from the past, and it is still more accurate to see people.
Xue Rengui is eight feet tall, introverted, a general at first glance, and his eyes are sharp, and his martial arts should be extraordinary.
The second person is the Tie Niu who followed behind him, this honest man at first glance, made Dang Renhong, a veteran, feel the danger.
The horses under the seat are different from the others, they are taller and stronger than the Dawan horses, and they should be Mongolian horses.
Tie Niu is tall, with broad shoulders, his arms are powerful at a glance, and his hands are as big as Pu, although he holds a horse lance in his hand, what makes Dang Renhong pay attention to a large knife like a door panel on his back.
From this, it can be seen that there are two things, the first is that the iron bull is infinitely powerful and has the power to open the mountain.
Second, the horses of the Iron Ox are more powerful than the Iron Ox.
Dang Renhong could fully imagine how dangerous his 1,000-odd people were just now.
I secretly sighed in my heart that this King Ji was really as rich as the legend.
In terms of these two thousand Dawan horses in the Western Regions alone, there are more than one million guan, and the annual breeding cost is at least hundreds of thousands.
Coupled with this piece of equipment, this is a treasure trove of walking.
If anyone has the strength to rob these people, it will be really rich.
"By the way, Governor of the Party, you haven't answered the king's question just now, how did you know that the king would come. I also know that this king has arrived here. Li Shen asked as he walked.
"Hahahaha, this is still related to the prince, does the prince still remember the case in Cangzhou?" Dang Renhong laughed.
"You mean Xi's case? Does this have anything to do with him? Li Shen asked curiously.
"It's really related, the prince should remember that at that time, His Majesty had an order to let the envoys from various states go to watch the execution, and my envoys from Guangzhou were also among them.
Later, he wrote to me, told me about the matter, and mentioned that the prince was going to Lingnan to visit the five princes, so I asked people to wait for the prince in Xinzhou and Guangzhou Port.
I want to do my best to be a landlord.
I thought that the prince would go by sea and land, but I didn't expect Xinzhou to say that the prince would take the land route. ”
Dang Renhong explained.
"Oh, so you've been keeping an eye on the king's whereabouts." Li Shen suddenly realized, with deep meaning in his tone.
"Don't misunderstand, the lower officials are loyal to Your Majesty, loyal to the Tang Dynasty, the prince came to Lingnan, and he had to pass through the jurisdiction of my Guangzhou Governor's Office,
Xia Guan only wants to ensure the safety of the prince, and he also treats the prince warmly. ”
Dang Renhong hurriedly explained.
"Hahahaha, the governor of the party doesn't have to be like this, this king has no other intentions, this king just went to Rongzhou to visit the fifth brother, and he didn't want to disturb the place."
Li Shen smiled.
Dang Renhong's face changed a little better, and the two continued to chat while hurrying.
And Li Shen didn't mention a word about political affairs, and asked about the cultural landscape of Lingnan, etc., Li Shen was very interested in these.
In later generations, Lingnan accounted for two, and there were two large administrative regions in Hong Kong and Macao, both of which were economically developed.
He was just curious about what the Tang Dynasty was like.
Because of these four places, Li Shen has been to them in his previous life.
Since Li Shen didn't ask about political affairs, Dang Renhong wouldn't talk about it, so he began to talk to Li Shen about the humanities and culture of the Lingnan region, and some famous mountains and rivers (serious).
He governs fourteen state capitals and understands a lot, and Li Shen is like a child who doesn't understand anything, and his eyes are surprised when he hears new things.
Even sometimes Li Shen will exclaim and cooperate, so that Dang Renhong is quite useful,
What about the prince, isn't he still looking like he has never seen the world?
After walking for an hour, he finally arrived at the Guangzhou Governor's Mansion, Li Shen looked at the tall city wall and sighed with emotion,
Don't look tall now, this will be a ruin in the future.
"Lord Wang, please enter the city~" Dang Renhong said.
"Rengui, order the guard battalion to set up camp outside the city, and the first battalion will follow me into the city." Li Shen turned around and ordered.
According to the Tang law, the army is not allowed to enter the city, and Li Shen's guard battalion belongs to the three thousand guards under the prince's mansion, and it also belongs to the army, so it is not allowed to enter the city.
But the prince had a guard of honor, numbering about three hundred. Plus the guards carried are five hundred.
Li Shen didn't have a guard of honor, so he could take advantage of a loophole and bring more than 300 people to pretend to be a guard of honor.
If this is an impeachment that someone is on the line, Li Shen can't argue, but Li Shen is thick-skinned, if Dang Renhong says he doesn't agree,
Li Shen asked the guards to take off their armor, isn't it just a guard of honor?
But apparently Dang Renhong didn't care about this, as if he hadn't heard it.
In this way, Li Shen took nearly 500 people into the city of Guangzhou and came to Dang Renhong's Assassin's Mansion.
It's not that Li Shen is pompous, but Li Shen doesn't know how Dang Renhong is a person, if he is a big traitor, guessing that Li Shen is here for him, and then killing the killer, Li Shen feels that he is very wronged.
Li Shen is taking precautions against anything else, thinking about the consequences first, and arranging a way out.
Five hundred people, just the soldiers here in the Guangzhou Governor's Mansion, really can't take Li Shen.
Coming to the front hall, Dang Renhong took out a jar from his study and carefully took out a bamboo tube from it.
He poured out some tea leaves from the bamboo tube and personally made tea for Li Shen.
Dang Renhong poured a cup for Li Shen, poured another cup for himself, and then made a gesture of invitation to Li Shen and said:
"His Royal Highness King Ji, please use tea."
After speaking, he took the lead in drinking his own tea.
Li Shen nodded, and then took a small sip, leaving a fragrance on his lips.
"Good tea, if this king's guess is right, this should be the tribute tea of my Ji Wangfu.
It is said that Lingnan is a land of miasma, and you can still drink this tribute tea, and the party governor is really capable. ”
Li Shen praised it, and he drank it in the first sip, and it was a tribute tea made in his house.
