July twenty-fifth.

Soldiers, food and fodder, weapons and equipment, and all pre-war work are all ready, and the troops are about to be dispatched.

Outside the city, Li Xun galloped on his horse.

The army will go out tomorrow. In the past few days, Li Xun has been practicing horseback riding outside the city. He had learned to ride a horse a few years ago, but this time he went out not to go sightseeing, but to fight with the army. The speed and time of horseback riding were very fast.

It’s not something we can usually compare. The horse Li Xun is riding now was a gift from his cousin Zhao Xun. It is said that it flowed into the capital from the Mobei grassland and was then purchased by Zhao Xun at a high price. This time I heard that Li Xun will also go on an expedition with the army.

, so he gave this good horse to Li Xun.

The horse is a good horse, but it is also very wild. It is different from the domestic horses that are usually tamed. However, after a few days of running in and getting close, Li Xun has been able to control this fierce horse under him and use it freely.

After dinner at home at noon, Li Mancang looked sad, obviously worried about Li Xun's expedition, so Li Xun had no choice but to offer some kind words and enlighten the old man.

While the father and son were talking, someone from the palace summoned Li Xun to enter the palace.

"Old man, my aunt has invited me to go, will you go?"

Li Mancang shook his head and sighed.

Li Xun smiled bitterly, feeling that the old man was thinking too much. He just wanted to go out and play! There was nothing to worry about.

When they arrived at Changle Palace, not only their aunt Li Yi was there, but Zhao Zhi was also there. Below them, stood two eunuchs. The herdsman Li Xun knew him, but the other eunuch in his thirties was very unfamiliar and had never seen him before.

Pass.

"The dog kowtows to the emperor's uncle and aunt."

Li Xun knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times.

"Get up."

There was a smile on Zhao Zhi's face. He liked Li Xun quite a lot. Although Li Xun was a bit vulgar, careless, and not well educated, he often did words and things that were beyond etiquette, but it was like this

Being together makes Zhao Zhi often recall his former civilian life, and he feels a little closer to him from the bottom of his heart.

Li Xun stood up and said with a smile: "Uncle Emperor, what do you mean by calling the dog here?"

"It's nothing important. The army will go out tomorrow. I have a few words to tell you."

Zhao Zhi said softly: "When you are in the army, you must be careful in your words and deeds. Read more, learn more, and talk less. You cannot do anything wrong in my name. If anything bad or violating the discipline comes to my ears, even if you have

Even if my aunt intercedes, I will never forgive her lightly."

Li Xun bowed his hands and said solemnly: "The emperor's uncle's words must be kept in mind by the dog, and he will not dare to go beyond them in the slightest."

Zhao Zhi nodded. At this time, a eunuch trotted in, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, all the prime ministers from the Political Hall have arrived at the Mingzheng Hall."

"Yaya, I still have something to do. You and the dog can talk."

Li Yi helped Zhao Zhi get up and watched the emperor leave.

"Dog, you will go out with the army tomorrow. How do you feel in your heart?"

Li Yi waved her hand and asked Li Xun to sit down and talk.

Li Xun found a seat and sat down, he laughed and said: "To be honest with my aunt, I am really feeling a little nervous."

Li Yi smiled faintly and said: "General Anguo Huang Xu is a cautious and steady man. If you follow him, my aunt will feel relieved."

"Aunt, what is the position of this Military Supervisor and Judge?"

Li Xun knew that the position of supervisor was usually held by senior eunuchs in the palace and the emperor's confidants. As for the judge of the supervisor, this was the first time Li Xun had heard of it.

Li Yi explained: "The Supervisory Army does not have any official rank. It is just a temporary position, but it has great power. It has the power to supervise the leading generals and record rewards and punishments. You, the Supervisory Army Judge, are nominally the Deputy of the Supervisory Army."

, but actually doesn’t have any power.”

Li Yi finally warned: "You have to remember that the purpose of your trip is just to go through the motions. You don't need to do anything. You just need to stay in the army and wait until the war is over."

Li Xun nodded, feeling a little disappointed. The name Supervisor Judge sounded good, but it turned out to be just a false name.

"The eunuch who was standing with Duke Mu just now is Liu Congxi. The supervisor of the Pingnan army this time is the emperor's confidant. You must have a good relationship with him."

Li Xun was surprised and said: "I know most of the eunuchs around the emperor's uncle. Since this Liu Congxi is a confidant of the emperor's uncle, why have I never seen him before?"

"There are so many things you don't know, so what's the fuss about?"

Li Yi glared at Li Xun: "He used to be in Jiangnan supervising the salt road taxation, and he was just transferred back to the capital."

Li Xun didn't care about this. He glanced at Li Yi and said with a smile: "Aunt, I will go out with the army soon. My nephew doesn't have any decent equipment. There are many good things in the palace. Can you

Send me two!"

Li Yi smiled: "The military supervisor is a civilian and does not need to wear armor. You can just wear plain clothes and bring a few changes of clothes and go directly to the military camp to report."

Li Xun smiled bitterly and said: "There must be a weapon in your hand! Otherwise, it would be a bit awkward to be in the military camp with empty hands."

Li Yi glanced at Li Xun and said with a smile: "What do you want, don't hide it."

Li Xun rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "Didn't the emperor's uncle leave a sword here with my aunt? Lend it to your nephew for use!"

Zhao Zhi has a sword named 'Dingtai' which is located here with Li Yi. It looks ordinary and is not very famous. It was originally given to Zhao Xun, the king of Qi, but Zhao Xun himself liked literature and disliked martial arts, so he didn't want it, so

It has been kept in Changle Palace. Now that Li Xun wants it, Li Yi thought about it and nodded in agreement.

After receiving the Dingtai sword, Li Xun was overjoyed and left immediately.

Walking in the imperial city, Li Xun thought that he would leave tomorrow. He didn't know how long it would take him to come back. He thought of Zhao Yue. He met her half a month ago. At that time, Zhao Yue looked bad and was in a bad mood.

He was short of breath, so he was obviously ill. I don't know if he's feeling better now.

"Xiao Lezi, please go to Princess Yue's residence, send word that I'm here, and ask her if we can meet her."

Li Xun was not allowed to go to the residences of Zhao Yue's royal family members. In the palace, he could only come and go freely in Jinmo Hall and Changle Palace, and he had to be accompanied by eunuchs. In other places, Emperor Zhao

Wandering around without the permission of the wise is a serious crime of disrespect and is very serious.

Li Xun stood there waiting, while Zhao Yue lived deep in the palace. It was not until half an hour later that Xiao Lezi returned: "Princess Yue has been ill recently. When I went there, the maid who was waiting said that Princess Yue had just taken medicine.

Go to sleep."

Li Xun shook his head and sighed. He suddenly felt that Zhao Yue was very pitiful. He had been weak since childhood. Because of his mother, Concubine Yang, he was not loved by Zhao Zhi. He had no friends in the palace and lived alone like this.

.

There was no words all night, and before dawn the next day, Li Xun got up early, holding the Dingtai sword in his left hand, and holding the BMW in his right hand, and walked towards the door in high spirits. At the moment when he was about to go out, Li Xun

Looking back, I suddenly found that my father Li Mancang was standing in the distance, looking here with a look of reluctance. Li Xun's eyes were slightly red, and he bowed deeply to his father with his hands, and then led the horse without looking back.
