Li Ke was anxiously waiting for Li Shimin's reply, eagerly hoping to go back to Chang'an to see Hou Ruoyi, and this wait is the most painful and uncomfortable thing. He was like hundreds of ants biting in his bone marrow. Li Ke couldn't stand such waiting. He could not read books in the Governor's Office or practice martial arts in the schoolyard every day. He could only lead the Eagle Guard out of the city to hunt, indulge in hunting to relieve his unforgettable longing for Hou Ruoyi without thinking.

Time flies quickly without realizing it, fifteen days have passed since June 13, when Prince Li Zhi was born.

It was June 28th. Li Ke had just had breakfast and went to Chen Qi, Wang Zhongchang and the other two to go out of the Grand Governor's Office to hunt in the suburbs. As soon as they left the gate of the Grand Governor's Office, they saw more than ten fast horses running towards the Grand Governor's Office in a hurry.

Li Ke looked up from a distance and saw that the soldiers' decorations on the horse were not like the military uniforms of the black-clothed guards. When the cavalry was only three hundred steps away from him, he could see clearly that the cavalry was Li Shimin's Qianniu Guard.

Qianniu Guards on the thirteen war horses saw Li Ke at the gate of the governor from a distance. They stopped the war horses at fifty steps away from the governor's mansion and quickly jumped off the horse's back. Thirteen Qianniu Guards really saluted Li Ke. When Li Ke signaled them to ask for it, one of them took out the official documents from his body and handed them to Li Ke.

The respect Qianniu Guards for themselves made Li Ke quite puzzled. Although his Han King of Tang Dynasty was a king and a prince, how could the personal guard of Qianniu Guards, Li Shimin, respect him so much today?

When Li Ke saw that the official documents in his hand were all covered with the seal of the Ministry of War, he was puzzled. He didn't know what was wrong with the Ministry of War and asked Qianniuwei to send a letter?

He just submitted a memorial to Li Shimin to celebrate Li Zhi's full moon, so he didn't need to use official documents from the Ministry of War to reply to himself?

Could it be that there is another intention?

He quickly opened the official document and read the content in three lines. The serious expression on his face swept away and then smiled.

"Dear soldiers have worked hard all the way, please follow the guards in my palace to rest."

Li Ke said to Qianniuwei, and then he said to Wang Zhongchang beside him, "Appoint a few soldiers from Qianniuwei to rest in the mansion and give them a reward of one-day money."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Thirteen Thousand Niu Guards shouted loudly, they had heard of Li Ke in Taiyuan, especially the rumors that the three hundred eagle guards broke through one thousand blood wolf guards, five thousand ghost-faced cavalry broke through two thousand Turkic cavalry and were able to return to Taiyuan safely made them curious about Li Ke and admire him.

Today, seeing Li Ke's kindness and generosity made the thirteen Qianniu Guards even more respectful to Li Ke.

Li Ke no longer paid attention to the thirteen Qianniu Guards who followed Wang Zhongchang away. He said to Chen Qi beside him with a happy expression, "Order the Eagle Guard to disband and we will go back to our house and stop hunting today."

"No" Chen Qi agreed, waved his hand, and the three hundred eagle guards outside the door entered the governor's mansion through the side door in an orderly manner.

Li Ke returned to the study and sat quietly at the desk. He was happy and had some ups and downs.

The content of the official document sent to him by the Ministry of War was very simple, and he was asked to return to Chang'an to report in detail the process and results of the battle. He did not mention a word, whether to reward him or punish him.

Li Ke did not want to promote this Youbei Battle. After all, he sent troops without permission without the consent of the Ministry of War, which had violated the court system.

However, five thousand cavalrymen left Youzhou, and three thousand cavalrymen returned to Yunzhou from Mobei. It was difficult for Li Shimin to know about such a major event.

"What exactly does it mean?"

Li Ke was puzzled by the official document from the Ministry of War. He picked up the official document again and looked at it. Seeing that the content just now had no other meaning, he fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, he raised his head suddenly and seemed to think of the key to the problem. Could it be that Li Shimin agreed to go back to Chang'an to celebrate the full moon for Li Zhi, and that he would ask the Ministry of War to send him such a document?

Well, Li Ke thinks that's what he meant. Li Shimin issued an order at the beginning without his will and could not return to Chang'an.

The memorial he gave him this time explained the reason for going to Chang'an. He felt that his reasons were not enough, so he summoned himself back in this form.

However, when Li Ke thought of this, he felt chilled again. According to his guess just now, he was able to return to Chang'an because he won a victory in Youbei, and Li Shimin used this name to recruit him to return to Chang'an.

So if you want to return to Chang'an in the future, will you have to win a victory?

Moreover, you can only win battles with less than more, rather than winning by annihilation of one hundred enemies in small battles.

No way?

Li Ke was shocked. Who was paying attention to this TM? If you really have to be able to meet Chang'an in this way, wouldn't I beg for the night of going back to Chang'an and keeping my head open every day to go to the Mobei grassland to play a raid with the Turks?

If one day one wins a war, will you never be able to return to Chang'an?

md, Li Ke slandered the person who came up with this idea in his heart.

After a while, he began to face up to what he was going to do, which was how to prepare the gifts from Empress Changsun and Li Zhi.

Li Ke calculated the time. Today is June 28th and the 13th day of Li Zhi's full moon, July 15 days, and he still has time to prepare for Empress Changsun and Li Zhi.

Well, let’s get this matter done first! As for other issues that will be solved slowly in the future, Li Ke made such a decision in his heart.

Therefore, for the remaining ten days, he locked himself in the study every day and didn't know what he was doing, and also told Chen Qi not to bother him with nothing important.

Time passed quickly, and finally on the afternoon of the ninth day of the seventh month, Li Ke walked out of the study with a tired look on his face.

But from the smiles on his face, everyone could see that he was ready to return to Chang'an to give Queen Changsun and Li Zhi a gift.

Just as Li Ke was sitting in the living room and chatting with Su Dingfang, Chen Qi and others about his preparations to return to Beijing the next day, Di Zhixun hurried to the Governor's Office. He told Li Ke that the Soldier Pavilion in the heroic tomb had been completed today and could be used tomorrow.

Li Ke was very happy after hearing this. Although this palace, which marked the highest honor of the heroes of the Tang Dynasty, was only half built, it could be used tomorrow. He would complete the most sacred moment here tomorrow. How could he be unhappy?

Finally, Li Ke decided to pay homage to the soldiers who died in Youbei at the Soldier Pavilion in the Hero Tomb the next morning, and at the same time awarded swords to the soldiers who bravely killed the enemy in the war.

The next day, the fully armed black-clothed guards, the wolf cavalry camp, the ghost-faced cavalry camp, the heavy cavalry camp and the left and right guards all arrived in front of the square of the Hero Tomb Hall. The Hero Tomb was built in the center of Taiyuan Prefecture, covering a large area and as big as the newly built Zuo Camp, so these people were not crowded in the square of the stationmaster.

The King of Han of the Tang Dynasty, the Great Governor of Bingzhou, Di Zhixun, the Governor of Bingzhou, Guo Xiaoke, Sima Sun Erlang, General Li Mengchang, Su Dingfang and others came to a piece standing in the square, engraved with "Long live the Tang Dynasty, long live the heroes!"

in front of the stone tablet.

Li Ke looked at the murderous soldiers in front of him, and felt very pleased that the five months he had come to Bingzhou were not in vain. Although he had not established good relations with the wealthy gentry such as Li Yan from the governor's mansion, the combat power of the Bingzhou army has been improved by more than one level! "Soldiers!"

Li Ke's voice was loud and it reached any corner of the square.

"Nuo-Nuo-" tens of thousands of soldiers shouted, loud and echoing.

"Soldiers!"

Li Ke asked again, and this time the soldiers in the square pulled out their swords, raised their chests straight, and shouted, "Kill - Kill -" "Do you know what the hero's tomb do?"

Li Ke asked.

The square was quiet, with tens of thousands of soldiers watching Li Ke, and the special ghost-faced knight soldiers staring at Li Ke with a scorching eyes. After experiencing the Battle of Youbei, now in their hearts, Li Ke is already a great god of war, leading them to be invincible.

"The Hero's Tomb is the place where heroes and spirits are buried!"

There was a hint of sadness in Li Ke's words.

The soldiers in the square also showed a trace of sadness and remembrance on the road.

"Who is the hero?"

Li Ke suddenly asked, and he continued without waiting for everyone's thoughts, "Every soldier who sacrificed his life for the Tang Dynasty and defended the honor of the Tang Dynasty is a hero."

Li Ke's words instantly aroused the blood of tens of thousands of soldiers. They shouted in unison, "Salary loyalty to the country, kill - kill - kill!"

"Today, we are here to pay homage to the heroes, so that those who die on the battlefield are every one fighting for the honor of the Tang Dynasty can return to their hometowns and be respected and commemorated by the people of the Tang Dynasty."

Li Ke said that he stopped talking here.

Su Dingfang, who was beside him, stepped forward and shouted loudly, "Bang drums, blow trumpets, and tree flags - let our soldiers who died in the Youbei Grassland return to their hometown!"

"Woo-Wong--" the ox horn sounded, the "dong-dong-dong-dong" war drum sounded, and the "swish--" the battle flag fluttered in the wind.

Li Ke and the chief general closed their eyes, and tens of thousands of soldiers in the square pointed their swords directly at the sky, and used their methods to welcome the souls of their compatriots who died on the battlefield.

After a long time, the drum sound stopped and the horn disappeared. Su Dingfang stepped forward and continued, "The heroic spirit of the sacrificed hero has entered the soldiers' pavilion of the hero's tomb, and the living hero is admired by thousands of people after all.

Today, His Highness the King of Han will give swords to the soldiers who have made meritorious contributions in the Youbei battlefield!"

After Su Dingfang finished speaking, the war drum remembered and saw Ren Hu and Wang Zhen walking to Li Ke with great strides, but the black-clad guard walked to Ren Hu and Wang Zhen with a plate.

There was a set of black-clothed guard hero uniforms on the plate, and a Tang sword with a special knife carved with a wolf's head and sharp claws.

Li Ke picked up the Tang sword in Ren Hu's plate and pulled the sword out of the scabbard. The Tang sword in the sun emitted a dazzling light, which immediately illuminated the eyes of tens of thousands of soldiers.

"The sword name is 'Wolf Blade'. I hope you can use the light it emits just now to the battlefield!"

After Li Ke finished speaking, he put the wolf blade into the sheath, placed it on the plate, and handed the plate to Ren Hu and Wang Zhen.

Ren Hu and Wang Zhen's eyes were hot, because today they finally got what they had dreamed of, and their efforts to fight on the battlefield were rewarded.

Although it is just a military uniform and a Tang sword, this honor makes them happy and joyful than ten thousand taels of gold.

"Black-clothed ghost-faced blood fights the world, killing enemies and serving the country and burying bones on the battlefield."

Ren Hu and Wang Zhen roared.

"Black-clothed ghost-faced blood fights the world, killing enemies and serving the country and burying bones on the battlefield."

The Three Thousand Ghost Faces Riders roared.

"Kill-kill-kill-kill!"

Tens of thousands of soldiers yelled, "Long live the Tang Dynasty! Long live the Tang Dynasty!"
Chapter completed!
