As soon as Changsun Shunde finished speaking, Li Shimin led his cavalry to pursue them with murderous intent, surrounding Li Shanfei and the remaining dozen or so soldiers.

Li Shimin immediately took a few steps forward and said coldly: "Surrender or die!"

Yin Kaishan smiled ferociously and threw Zhen Zhai'er's head. The bloody head rolled to the feet of Li Shanfei and others. All the soldiers had earth-colored faces, and it was not known who took the head. They threw away their weapons one after another.

, and fell down from his horse and fell to the ground.

Li Shanfei's face changed, and finally he sighed, threw away all the swords and bows on his body, and spread his hands behind his back, saying in a deep voice: "I, Li Shanfei, admit defeat. I will kill or behead you as you please, but I still hope

Mr. Li can spare their lives."

Hou Junji scolded him coldly: "Erlang doesn't need you to teach him how to do things. Kneel down!"

Li Shanfei raised his eyebrows and said proudly: "I, Wei Dao'er, have been in the Jianghu for decades, and I have never knelt down to anyone. If you want to kill me, you can come and take it. If you ask me to kneel down, there is no way!"

A hint of appreciation flashed in Li Shimin's eyes, he dismounted from his saddle and flew towards Lishan. Hou Junji, Liu Hongji and others couldn't help but change their expressions, and quickly reminded: "Erlang, be careful, this person has great martial arts, don't be careless."

However, Li Shimin waved his hand calmly and walked straight to Li Shanfei. A trace of surprise flashed in the latter's eyes and he sneered: "Aren't you afraid of death?"

"Do you think I will be afraid?" Li Shimin asked.

Li Shanfei thought for a moment, and finally nodded and said: "You are indeed not afraid of death. Until now, Second Young Master Li will take the lead every time we fight, making a certain family feel ashamed."

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and said, "Then do you think a person like me is worthy of your loyalty?"

Li Shanfei's eyes flashed, and he asked, "A certain family is an official prisoner of the imperial court. How dare Mr. Li take him in?"

Liu Hongji smiled coldly: "Who here hasn't done anything wrong?"

Indeed, after careful calculation, everyone around Li Shimin has committed crimes to some extent. Hou Junji failed to assassinate Gao Bufan and escaped; Liu Hongji, Liu Wenjing and Fang Xuanling were all rescued from prison by Li Shimin, and the eldest grandson Shunde also

Because he opposed Yang Guangdong's conquest of Goguryeo, he was demoted from his post and became a civilian, and he almost went to jail.

It can be said that among the three tiger generals around Li Shimin, only Yin Kaishan is the only clean "good citizen" and has no official stain.

In addition, many people who have taken refuge with Li Shimin are green forest heroes and gangsters. In other words, Li Shimin is now the headquarters of the "rebels". Even if he does not rebel in the future, I am afraid he will be coerced by these people to do so. However,

, Li Shimin himself had obviously had thoughts of rebelling against the Sui Dynasty for a long time, otherwise he would not have recruited these people under his command. Therefore, it was only a matter of time before Li Shimin launched an army to rebel against the Sui Dynasty.

At this time, Li Shimin looked calm and said: "Anyone who is loyal to me, Li Shimin, no matter what his background is or what he has committed, I, Li Shimin, dare to guarantee with my personality and life that I will protect them thoroughly."

Li Shanfei couldn't help but move slightly, pondered for a moment, and finally slowly knelt down on one knee, holding fists with both hands and raising his head above his head: "Wei Dao'er, see you, my lord!"

Li Shanfei was just a pseudonym, and Wei Daoer was his real name. Li Shanfei used his real name to pay homage to Li Shimin, which seemed more sincere.

A cold light flashed in Li Shimin's hand, and the top of Wei Dao'er's helmet was cut off. He flew high and then returned the sword to its sheath and said: "Wei Dao'er has been killed by me. From now on, your name is Wei."

Virtue!"

Li Shanfei bowed his head and saluted again and said: "Wei De meets my lord."

Li Shimin leaned over and helped Li Shanfei up, smiled gently and said, "Junji and Hongji both call me Erlang, you can call me the same."

Wei De said quickly: "This subordinate has just arrived and has not made any achievements yet. I dare not make such a big deal. I will wait until I make achievements later."

Li Shimin laughed and praised: "Okay, if you are ambitious, I will wait for the day when you call Erlang and withdraw the troops!"

Li Shimin gave the order and happily withdrew his troops back to the camp with Wei De and others.

As night fell, the Tang army's camp was full of delicious food, and the soldiers added dishes to celebrate the victory. However, Wei Daoer, who was once the leader of the enemy army, became Li Shimin's guest at this moment, and everyone had a banquet to celebrate the victory.

While everyone was drinking heavily, a soldier suddenly shouted loudly outside the tent: "The prince has arrived."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw his eldest brother Li Jiancheng walked in with a stern face. Everyone stood up to salute. Li Shimin also stood up and said with a smile: "Brother, it's a coincidence that I'm here. How about having a drink with everyone?"

Li Jiancheng glanced over and stayed on Wei Dao'er for two seconds before shaking his head and saying: "I've already eaten, Shimin, come out for a moment. Brother has something to talk to you about."

Li Shimin still had a calm smile on his face, put down the wine glass and said, "I'll excuse you for a moment, you can continue drinking." After saying that, he followed Li Jiancheng out of the tent.

Wei Daoer's expression changed, and he felt uneasy. He kept looking away carelessly. Next to him, the eldest grandson Shunde reached out and patted the former's shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother Wei, please drink in peace. My eldest grandson, Shunde, guarantees that you will be fine."

Wei Daoer was deeply impressed by this drunkard who was always drunk, and asked curiously: "Your surname is Changsun. May I ask what your relationship is with Changsun Cheng?"

"Changsun Cheng is my clan brother!" Changsun Shunde said calmly.

Wei Daoer looked a little weird and said: "It is said that Ying Yanglang of Zhuo County married Gao Changqing and the Changsun family."

The eldest grandson Shunde nodded and said, "Yes, today is the wedding day for Gao Changqing and my niece, the eldest grandson Wugou."

As soon as these words came out, Hou Junji, Liu Hongji and others all darkened their faces. Erlang and Changsun Wugou were originally childhood sweethearts, but they were robbed of their love by Gao Changqing. For this reason, Erlang was deeply moved.

The blow made Erlang feel depressed for a long time, but it was precisely because of this blow that Erlang became more mature and was able to grow up quickly.

Wei Daoer said coldly: "Since you are a member of the eldest grandson's family, shouldn't you hug the thigh of that boy named Gao? Why do you come here?"

Changsun Shunde smiled calmly: "Brother Wei's words are too narrow-minded. As the saying goes, a good bird chooses a tree to roost in. I am optimistic about Li Erlang, so why not join him? For example, Brother Wei, we were enemies not long ago, but we are not now.

Have we become colleagues and sit together to drink and eat meat?"

Wei Daoer was immediately speechless. Changsun Shunde poured a bowl of wine for the former and said with a smile: "If you have wine today, you will get drunk today. Brother Wei, don't think so much. Just make peace with it as it comes."

Wei Daoer's thought was right. Once he came, he would take care of himself. It was just a life. He picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. He said loudly: "One more bowl!"

"That's right, everyone did it!" Changsun Shunde laughed and filled another bowl for Wei Daoer.

Let's say that Li Shimin followed Li Jiancheng out of the camp and walked to a quiet place. The latter frowned and said displeasedly: "Shimin, look who are your men? Li Shanfei is the leader of the group of thieves, and you dare to take him in? So...

If you go down, I will be killed by you sooner or later!"

Li Shimin looked relaxed and said: "Brother, please be patient. Where are the good people in this world today? There are rebels everywhere. As long as they are talented people who can be used by me, it will be fine. Why should I be too rigid and timid in everything? I will never succeed."

It’s a big matter, not to mention that the emperor is currently busy patrolling Jiangdu, so he doesn’t care about us at all, and he has no ability to care about us.”

Li Jiancheng's face darkened and he said: "You are wrong. The power controlled by the Emperor is far more powerful than you imagined. Apart from anything else, are you sure you can deal with any one of Zhang Xutuo, Gao Changqing and Wang Shichong? Listen.

The eldest brother advised me to kill Li Shanfei and send his head to the Eastern Capital to ask for credit."

Li Shimin looked indifferent and said: "Zhang Xutuo is trapped in Qi County and is exhausted from running for his life. Wang Shichong's foundation is in Jianghuai. Even if he comes to Jinyang, I may not be afraid of him."

"What about Gao Changqing?" Li Jiancheng asked.

Li Shimin looked a little unnatural. His defeat in the fight for his eldest grandson Wugou always put him at a psychological disadvantage when facing Gao Bufan. Moreover, in all the previous conflicts, whether overt or covert, he did not take advantage of Gao Bufan.

He had taken advantage, so if Gao Bufan really led his army to fight, he would be really embarrassed.

Seeing that Li Shimin was silent, Li Jiancheng softened his tone and said: "Shimin, you have indeed won many battles, but there are mountains beyond the mountains, and there are people beyond the mountains. You must not be overconfident. Compared with Gao Changqing, you still have

There is quite a gap, so at this time, we must act more cautiously, and Li Shanfei must not stay."

Li Shimin's face turned red, he clenched his fists and said: "Brother, don't let others have ambitions and destroy the prestige of your second brother. I, Li Shimin, will not always be inferior to Gao Changqing. One day, I will prove to the world that I, Li Shimin, am the strongest."

One. Li Shanfei is dead, and the one who takes orders under my tent now is Wei De!"

"Shimin, don't be stubborn!"

"Brother, please stop talking. Since I have taken him in, I must protect his integrity. If he goes against his promise, will anyone dare to come to us in the future? Brother, you don't need to worry about this anymore. If something happens, I, Li Shimin, will take care of it."

I will shoulder the responsibility." Li Shimin looked firm and decisive, and it was clear that there was no room for negotiation.

Li Jiancheng's face was livid. Although he was extremely angry, there was nothing he could do to Li Shimin. If forced, he would not be able to suppress the arrogant and powerful generals under Li Shimin's command, so he had to leave angrily.

Li Shimin looked up at the crescent moon in the sky, and thought of Changsun Wugou's clear and bright eyes. He couldn't help but feel pain in his heart. Today is the wedding night of Wugou and Gao Changqing, and this night should belong to him and Wugou.

of.

Li Shimin clenched his fists. It took a long time before his mood slowly calmed down. It was cold on this autumn night!

"Erlang!" Fang Xuanling was already standing behind Li Shimin at some point, as if he was his shadow.

Li Shimin turned around, his expression had returned to calm, he smiled and said, "Why is Mr. Fang out?"

Fang Xuanling smiled and said: "I drank too much, so I came out for convenience."
