When Xiao Han came, he came in Lao Liu's carriage, but when he left, he followed Chai Shao's horse. There was no way, he couldn't let Li Shimin ride in front and ride in the carriage himself, right?
In this way, he and Li Shimin, who was dressed in casual clothes, rode horses on Chang'an Street one after another.
Looking at the bustling market around him, Xiao Han knew that there must be countless guards hidden inside, but his heart was still beating.
You must know that history has been turned into a mess by this giant moth. If someone like Jing Ke pops up on the street again, it will be too late for me to cry.
Fortunately, all the way along, until Li Shimin in front reined in his horse, the imagined danger did not appear.
"Huh...eh? Aren't you going back to the palace? Why...are you here?"
Secretly heaving a sigh of relief, Xiao Han just reined in the horse and was suddenly stunned! Because what was in front of them was not the imperial palace, but the former Qin Prince's Palace.
"Let's go in!" Li Shimin obviously heard Xiao Han's muttering, but he did not answer. Instead, he smiled and jumped off the horse.
"Oh, okay!" When Xiao Han saw this, although he was muttering in his heart, he had no choice but to dismount, handed the reins to the servant who was already waiting beside him, and walked into the former Qin Prince's Mansion with Li Shimin.
After crossing the familiar threshold, although he had not stepped into this house for more than three years, everything in front of Xiao Han seemed to be no different from three years ago.
"I haven't been here for a long time. Doesn't it feel like I'm revisiting my old place?" Li Shimin's emotional voice came from beside him.
At some point, the two of them changed from walking in tandem to walking side by side.
Xiao Han discovered this very quickly. He was just about to slow down his steps and make himself half a step behind. Unexpectedly, Li Shimin put his arm around his shoulders, as intimately as before.
I remember that at that time, Li Shimin was still the King of Qin, and Xiao Han was still a boy and a half.
The two of them talked about everything from world affairs to local delicacies, from marching and fighting to catching fish and shrimps!
"Don't see me outside."
Li Shimin felt that Xiao Han's body was a little stiff, and couldn't help but smile bitterly at him. For some reason, Xiao Han could see a trace of deep fatigue in his smile!
"You just saw that those brothers and friends in the past only regard me as an emperor, not as a brother and friend before! I just show my displeasure, and they keep silent. I don't want you to become like them. In that case, I
I have become a complete loner.”
Looking at Li Shimin with a tired look in his eyes, and then hearing what he said, Xiao Han's heart trembled, and his stiff body quickly softened.
In the past, he always thought that Li Shimin should be a saint warrior!
Because he has been fighting against heaven, earth, enemies, and his own relatives and ministers all his life!
But he never thought: People are not machines without emotions! No matter how strong he is, there are times when he is tired! There are also times when he needs the comfort of friends!
The hanging arm slowly lifted up until it also hugged Li Shimin's shoulders. Xiao Han said firmly: "We are friends, always have been! We will always be!"
Originally, before he returned to Chang'an, he had warned himself countless times: Li Shimin is the emperor now! He is no longer the little plum of the past, and he can no longer be as casual as before!
But it wasn't until this moment that he suddenly discovered: It turns out that what has changed in these years is only a person's identity, not his essence!
He is still his friend and brother, this has never changed!
"Okay, I brought you here today because I plan to leave everything behind and get drunk happily!"
Facts have proved that people are emotional animals! Especially in special environments and special atmospheres, this kind of sensibility can easily turn into drunkenness. Li Shimin laughed and pulled Xiao Han under a tree.
Sitting on the ground and doing it, he pulled out a few small jars of wine from behind the tree like a magic trick.
"Here, let me drink this cup to you! I wish you to use Tao Zhu's way to solve the crisis of the country! If it weren't for your money, the troops on the front line would be hungry and fight, and the Guanzhong locust plague behind would make countless people homeless!"
"This is a toast for you to disregard your own safety and drive away the pirates! Do you know? When I heard that you ran out of the city to fight, I was so angry and anxious in Chang'an that I couldn't sleep for several days! You said you, even
Even your donkeys can't beat you, yet you dare to go to the battlefield casually!"
"This is a toast to you for working so hard and transporting grain all the way to the capital..."
"This is a toast... a toast... no matter what the hell! Drink!"
Soon, the sky outside had darkened. Li Shimin and Xiao Han were sitting under a tree full of young leaves, with several empty wine jars around them.
One credit and one glass of wine!
Li Shimin soon drank and could not speak clearly.
And it was rare that Xiao Han did not cheat and drink all the wine into his stomach! If he steals wine again at this time, it would be the greatest insult to friendship!
"Wine? Where's the wine?"
Staggeringly, he grabbed the last wine jar and shook it by his ear. Listening to the empty sound inside, Li Shimin yelled at the person waiting on the side with his eyes wide.
"Your Majesty, you are drunk, so you can't drink anymore!" On the side, Little Eunuch Hai, who was standing solemnly with his hands on his face, stepped forward with a bitter look on his face and bowed repeatedly to Li Shimin, who could not stand still.
It is said that since he became Li Shimin's personal eunuch, he has never seen the emperor drink so much wine! Didn't he just taste the wine at the previous drinking party? How could he be like this today?
"Nonsense, I'm not drunk!"
Li Shimin was completely drunk. With his tongue hanging out and his face flushed, he looked at Xiao Han, who was also about eighty percent drunk: "Brother, tell him, I'm not drunk!"
Xiao Han was also a little dizzy from drinking at this time, but there was still the last trace of clarity in his bones.
"Second brother!"
After grabbing Li Shimin swayingly, Xiao Han took a few deep breaths and then said, "I can't drink anymore today. If I drink any more, I'll get really drunk!"
Not to mention, Xiao Lizi has a very good advantage, that is, he listens to others' advice!
Even though he was drunk now! He didn't let Xiao Han drink anymore when he saw him, and Li Shimin didn't insist on asking for wine anymore, but this was infinitely better than those drunk men!
"If you don't drink... I won't drink! I still have business to do today, let's go! I'll take you to that bastard's house, Lao Liu, and personally break one of his legs to make amends to you! Hum hum, when I first received the letter
, I just guessed that he did it! I didn’t expect that I wouldn’t bring it upon myself today! I must break one of his legs this time to make him remember it better!”
