Li Shen actually forgot about Zhou Daowu, and now Li Mengjiang can't help but blame himself a little when he mentions it.

So he said:

"Oh, it's all my fault for the little brother, the little brother forgot about it, otherwise he should have gone to the Taoist office as soon as possible.

But don't worry, sister, I've already arranged it, just take some daily necessities when I leave,

The rest of the supplies will follow me to the northwest.

If you want to pay attention to it, it is actually the altitude sickness over there, the Taoist works in the palace, and I should have heard that many second-generation disciples of Yucai Academy went to the northwest.

Where the terrain is much higher than my Central Plains, the Central Plains people have to adapt to it for a while when they get there, otherwise they will have difficulty breathing and dizziness.

I'll bring you some of the medicinal wine I brewed in a while, as well as the medicine prepared by Doctor Sun.

Don't go to Chiling before you go there, stay in Lanzhou for half a month, and take a small amount of medicine and wine every day.

After that, I went to Chiling.

When you arrive at Chiling, you will say that it is an order from this king, and 50,000 troops will obey your command, and those who violate the order will be subject to military law.

You remember what I told you, just arrange for people to be optimistic about the 100,000 laborers, not to let them make trouble, and to avoid being incited. ”

Li Shen explained the matter again, and downplayed altitude sickness, and did not say that if it was not good, he would lose his life.

So as not to worry Li Mengjiang.

Zhou Daowu nodded after hearing this:

"Obey the prince's order, and the minister will definitely do his best to help the prince keep an eye on the 100,000 laborers and prevent them from having any accidents.

Wait until your arrival, Lord Wang. ”

Li Mengjiang also relieved himself after listening to Li Shen's words, he also knew that his younger brother let his husband go to the northwest for gilding.

Which one who can command an army of 50,000 is not at the level of a general.

Seeing Li Mengjiang's expression, Li Shen smiled:

"How about it, sister, don't worry about me now, I don't have to worry that I will take care of Daowu, and I promise to send back a Zhou Daowu who does not lack arms and legs in a year."

"Well, brother, you also know that you are upright and will not be flexible, you need to give more advice." Li Mengjiang nodded with satisfaction.

Point? Zhou Daowu is a few years older than him. Who points to whom, Li Shenxin said.

Next, Li Shen chatted with Li Mengjiang for a while, mainly because Li Shen told Li Mengjiang that when he was not in Chang'an, he should go into the palace to accompany his mother.

If there is anything when Zhou Daowu is away, let Li Mengjiang come to the Ji Wangfu to find Lu Dingniang.

Li Shen believes that in the current Chang'an City, the identity of Princess Ji can settle most things.

In addition, with Wu Meiniang on the side, there shouldn't be any problems.

Anyway, Li Mengjiang is also a princess, if Princess Ji can't solve it, then this matter will be a big deal, and she can only ask Li Shimin to help.

Li Mengjiang has a docile personality and nodded in agreement.

Dinner in King Ji's Mansion in the evening, the scene was happy, Li Mengjiang especially liked Li Shen's pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses,

Li Shen jokingly said: "If my sister likes it, then I will borrow you to go home and play for a few days." ”

provoked Li Mengjiang's white eyes.

After the banquet, Li Shen personally sent Li Mengjiang to the gate, which was actually not far away, and they were all on the same street.

Before leaving, Li Shen said to Zhou Daowu:

"Daowu, tomorrow I will ask Wang Xuance to send you the official letter of appointment, but you have to remember.

Since you are replacing the temporary protector of this king, you are not your Zhou Daowu, you represent the face of this king, and the face of Princess Linchuan.

Therefore, we must be decisive in doing things, do not be soft-hearted, disobey military orders and military laws, and kill without mercy, this is the order of this king as the capital protector of Qinghai Province.

Don't look ahead or behind, don't be afraid of anyone, behind you is this king, and my sister, and Your Majesty.

Even if the children of the princes and nobles don't listen to the military order, you will behead me, and the king will ensure that you are okay afterwards.

Your Majesty will also give you an additional rank and knighthood, but if this matter is messed up?

You can only be a captain for the rest of your life.

This is an opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and if you are transferred back to Chang'an in a year, you will at least be able to be a general of the fourth grade.

You've got to hold it. Li Shen really explained to Zhou Daowu this time,

He hopes that Zhou Daowu will do well, and for Li Mengjiang, he also hopes that Zhou Daowu will have a bright future.

Li Mengjiang didn't speak, although the consequences of what Li Shen said were serious, but the harvest was greater, if this opportunity was not for Li Shen to ask for His Majesty, how could it fall on a small captain.

Li Mengjiang knew that his younger brother would not cheat his husband.

"The prince rest assured, the minister will definitely seize this opportunity and act in accordance with the prince's orders. Take care of these 100,000 laborers. ”

Zhou Daowu also patted his chest and assured.

Li Shen nodded, he had already done what he had to do and said what he had to say, whether he could seize the opportunity or not was up to him, Li Shen had done his duty.

If it weren't for Li Mengjiang, Li Shen wouldn't have told him again and again.

After sending Li Mengjiang away, Li Shen also returned to the study and began to write the letter of appointment.

The next day, Li Shen entered the palace with a large number of gifts, and he was about to leave, so he couldn't help but say goodbye to his mother.

Although there are still a few days, it is better to say goodbye early.

Wei Guifei inevitably gave another admonition and teaching.

Even Empress Changsun also instructed Li Shen to be more careful and other precautions,

also left Li Shen to have a meal in the palace before leaving the palace.

On the third day, Zhou Daowu set off for the northwest with a group of laborers, while Li Shen was also preparing all kinds of things that would be useful to him.

This time, Li Shen also prepared a secret weapon on the road, not afraid of 10,000, just in case, he also knew about the alliance between Tibet and the Western Turks.

Li Shen himself is a person who is afraid of death, of course, he must consider his own safety first.

In addition to safety, there is also the issue of personal comfort,

When Li Shen was ready, Li Shen's own things were loaded with dozens of four-wheeled carriages, plus weapons and equipment, a total of hundreds of carriages.

At the end of February, ten miles west of Chang'an City,

Today is the day when Li Shen set off for the northwest, but Li Shen's trip is not as grand as Li Chengqian's trip.

The crown prince Li Chengqian came to see him off on the orders of His Majesty, and Li Mengjiang also came with him.

This time Li Shen went to a different place, unlike the last time he went to the Guangzhou Governor's Mansion, there was no danger along the way.

This time I went to the frontier, which is very close to the Western Turks of Tibet, and there is a place where war may occur at any time.

The prince's send-off is already the highest standard treatment, not to mention that this time Li Shimin gave Li Shen 3,000 Zuo Xiao cavalry, also called Zuo Xiao cavalry,

Nominally, it is Li Shen's honor guard, but in fact, it protects Li Shen's safety.

You must know that Zuo Xiao's cavalry guard is a cavalryman, and his combat effectiveness is three points stronger than that of Zuo Wuwei last time.

It can be seen how much Li Shimin cares about Li Shen's safety.

"Tenth brother, this journey is hard, may the tenth brother cherish all the way." Li Chengqian picked up a glass of water and wine and handed it to Li Shen.

Looking at Li Chengqian, who was dressed in a pale yellow prince robe, Li Shen took the wine glass with trembling hands, with tears in his eyes,

Xindao: If you are wearing a robe now, will it be appropriate for the situation?

"Tenth brother?" Seeing that Li Shen was stunned, Li Chengqian screamed again.

"What?" Li Shen was stunned for a moment, just now he was still thinking about the familiar scene, and suddenly heard Li Chengqian calling him his royal brother?

"Big brother, you won't let me take the name Sanzang, right?"

This sentence stunned Li Chengqian, and Li Shen, who reacted, hurriedly smiled.

"Hehe, it's funny, come to the eldest brother, the younger brother respects you." As he spoke, he drank it all.

He was afraid that Li Chengqian would grab the soil, and then come to such a familiar line.
