Chapter 13 Set off for the border

Li Chao looked at the map on the table again and again, and never thought of where the man in black would go to kidnap the princess. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info he was thinking about what kind of conspiracy there was, the strength of the opposition to the imperial court seemed to have not been heard, and the princes were also small, if it was said that some royal relatives were fighting for power, it was unlikely, not to mention that it was impossible to kidnap the princess, because the imperial power could not be inherited by the princess. Judging by their actions throughout the incident, it shouldn't have been done by other people who want to fight for power. There is undoubtedly only one reason for kidnapping the princess without hurting the princess and the princess, that is, they want to threaten the royal family with the princess, but what is this for, for the sake of money, it is also unlikely, because the masters with their kind of combat power will not lack money and grab the royal family.

In the evening, Liu Er also went home, leaving the housekeeper and Chaoping to sit in the main hall, and after a while, Zhang Tao came back, "Childe, today I took the armor to investigate, and the villagers did not see suspicious strangers, if the days of the princess's capture were carefully calculated, if they came to Changzhou, they would have arrived long ago." "Oh, knowing Brother Zhang Tao, you go down first, let me think about it." Chaoping said, and then the housekeeper and Zhang Tao went down, Chaoping was alone thinking about the whereabouts of the princess, after all, he and the princess were good friends, and he really didn't take the matter of the horse seriously, not to mention that he only thought about Liu'er.

Li Chaoping walked back and forth in the courtyard, and the bright moonlight couldn't help but remind him of his grandfather, he was worried about the situation of the war, but he couldn't help much. He thought about it for a while and decided to go to the library and stay quietly for a while. He walked slowly to the library and felt very tired, his body was already very weak, and he was even more unwell because he was worried about his grandfather recently. He walked to the front of the portrait of the ancestors, bowed down sincerely, and said: "The ancestors are above, the descendants of Li Chaoping are not filial piety, they can't share for their grandfather, and they can't fight together with the soldiers of the Li family. After speaking, Chaoping bowed his head three times.

Chaoping read two volumes in front of the bookcase, then got up and opened the dark grid. He opened the delicate wooden box, and the talisman inside was taken away by his grandfather, leaving only the handsome seal of the Li family. He sighed, "You guy, although you are a dead thing, but you can lead the world's soldiers and horses, how many people have lost their lives for rights, fortunately, everyone in the world knows that you are the symbol of the Li family, except for my Li family, it is useless." He looked at this supreme token of power, and thought about a lot of things in his heart, he thought that the stability of the border pass for many years was obtained through the bloody struggle of their Li family for generations, and whether his generation could take on this heavy responsibility was hesitant in his heart.

Chaoping sat on the second floor of the library pavilion, thinking quietly all night under the dim light, the chicken outside had just crowed, Li Chaoping was suddenly startled: "Ah, Bianguan." Hurriedly ran down the stairs, he called Zhang Tao and the housekeeper over and said: "The kidnapping of the princess may be related to the border war, could it be that the Liao people kidnapped the princess to threaten grandpa." "Ah, if that's the case, it's a problem. Zhang Tao gasped and said. They were all anxious about this matter, and at this time, Chaoping suddenly said, "Brother Zhang Tao, I want to go to the border to find my grandfather and tell him what I think." "Actually, Chaoping has been coughing all this time. Zhang Tao said: "Gongzi is so resolute, before the marshal set out on the expedition, he specially instructed me to accompany Gongzi at home, and he couldn't let you leave Changzhou for half a step." Chaoping said to Zhang Tao angrily: "Brother Zhang Tao, please focus on the overall situation, this matter is related to the life and death of the border soldiers and the people, and I also miss my grandfather very much, I may be able to help there." "I know that Childe has always been filial, and I also know that Childe is proficient in the art of war, but the last general is worried about your body. In this way, Chaoping repeatedly asked Zhang Tao, and finally Zhang Tao finally agreed to Chaoping's matter of going to the border, but Zhang Tao and Chaoping agreed to three chapters, first, Chaoping must take care of his body and cure the recent cough before leaving. Second, the last general must follow the left and right. Third, it is necessary to fly the pigeon first to inform the old general of the matter of going to the border pass.

Chaoping heard what Zhang Tao said about the three chapters of the law, and the first two things could be listened to him, but the third thing Chaoping said resolutely no, because he thought that such words might affect his grandfather's war, and he was afraid that the old general would be distracted by himself, and then he said bitterly that he finally compromised with Zhang Tao.

The old housekeeper invited a doctor, and for Chaoping to see a doctor, it was nothing more than a weak body, plus a cough caused by excessive worry, and the doctor prescribed a few pairs of medicines and left. Chao Ping'an recuperated and tried to get better quickly so that he could go to the border to find his grandfather, and before that, he had already told the old general and princess about the pigeon, but he didn't tell him the news that Chaoping was going.

In the past few days, Liu Er and Chen Gu and Song Hao have been running to Chaoping's house every day, and they will come to take care of him if they have nothing to do, and everyone knows the news that Chaoping is going to the border gate. On the surface, everyone was a little reluctant to just show sadness, but Liu Er was always crying silently at home alone, although Chaoping said that she didn't stop her, but she especially didn't want him to take that idle, but she couldn't persuade him, she knew that Chaoping wanted to do what she couldn't stop.

In the past few days, everyone has been busy preparing the materials and plans that Gongzi should prepare for going to the border gate. Liu'er's father, Jia Fu, asked his subordinates to make a particularly comfortable carriage for Chaoping to travel, and at the same time brought a lot of coils, while Zhang Tao gathered the soldiers and worked out a walking route and plan with them, such as how far to go to where there is an inn or something. And a few friends have been by Chaoping's side, and Chaoping's illness is getting better day by day, and he starts to stop coughing. Chaoping sighed and said: "I am sixteen years old, but I still haven't made an inch, and I still need everyone's care, I really can't help it." ”

The weather was exceptionally bright that day, Li Chaoping's body had recovered, and the housekeeper who had been in the morning ordered someone to prepare a meal in the hall. I saw Jia Fu's father and daughter and Chen Gu Song Hao walked in, it turned out that everyone came to see Chaoping off, during the banquet, everyone said a lot of things to Chaoping, "Jia Fu said, Chaoping, you must pay attention to your body when you arrive at the border pass, don't go out and walk around, you must stay by the old general's side, and when you get there, you will say hello to his old man for me, if there is a shortage of money and food, fly a pigeon and pass it to me as soon as possible, and I will help him raise it." Chaoping said: "Thank you uncle for your advice, the child must bring the words." The little brothers were very reluctant to Chaoping, Chaoping saw it, and told them to let them wait for him to come back and play together, saying that soon the battle at the border pass would be over, and when the world was peaceful, they could live in peace. In this way, everyone chatted until the end of the meal, and then Chaoping packed his bags and walked out of the Shuai Mansion with Zhang Tao and the others, intending to leave for the border pass.
