Li Chengqian looked at Gao Zhixing with a puzzled expression.
After all, Li Shimin knew the importance of Li Ke.
He will definitely keep a close watch on it.
How could Li Ke escape from such a tight guard in the palace?
"It is said that he escaped while the guards were changing."
"But according to my guess, this matter won't be that simple..."
Gao Zhixing glanced at Li Chengqian and said, "I suspect someone is here to help him."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian narrowed his eyes.
Who else would help Li Ke in this situation besides Li Tai?
Gao Zhixing naturally guessed it, so he didn't point it out directly.
Seeing Li Chengqian's appearance, Gao Zhixing sighed softly and whispered: "He is really crazy now. Not only does he not care about the flesh and blood ties between brothers, he even doesn't care about the country."
Gao Zhixing just couldn't figure out what was going on in this guy's mind.
Even though he knew the consequences of letting Li Ke go, he still did it.
If something goes wrong in Datang, can he be alone or what?
"It's not like you don't understand him."
"He actually doesn't care about this a long time ago."
Li Chengqian shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Don't forget, when we were in Shiwei, it was this guy who cut off our food and grass and then tipped off the enemy."
Thinking of the more than 10,000 soldiers who died in the battle, Li Chengqian felt sad in his heart.
What on earth does this guy want to do?
Does he have to bring down the entire Tang Dynasty before he is willing to do it?
Li Chengqian also sighed, and then asked: "What did the father say?"
"When he just left the capital, His Majesty sent General Duan and others to chase him."
"It's just that now that he has arrived in Shu, it means that General Duan and the others did not succeed."
"or……" Gao Zhixing raised his head and looked at Li Chengqian, but did not finish his words.
But his meaning was already obvious.
Or maybe Duan Zhixuan and Li Ke have gone together and are colluding with each other.
But Li Chengqian absolutely didn't believe it.
He said: "Others dare not say it, but General Duan certainly won't."
After all, Duan Zhixuan has been with Li Shimin since his debut. He participated in the Jinyang uprising and the crusade against Wang Shichong.
What's more, at the height of the fight between Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng, Li Jiancheng offered him a lot of money, but he explicitly rejected it.
And later, he personally participated in the Xuanwumen Revolution and was Li Shimin's unswerving supporter.
Now he has become the Duke of Baoguo and the General of the Right Guard, only half a rank lower than Cheng Yaojin, the General of the Left Guard.
Moreover, during the holidays, Li Shimin's awards were never less than his.
What's more, his son Duan Zan is still in Li Chengqian's Qianzi camp.
If he takes refuge with Li Ke, will his son still be there?
Therefore, he had almost no reason to rebel.
"He probably just didn't catch up."
"However, I am a little worried about Uncle Hou now..."
"Uncle Hou followed the guy's footsteps."
"And with Uncle Hou's strong temper, it is definitely impossible to get together with him."
"If there is some conflict between the two of them in Shu, I'm afraid..."
Hou Junji can be regarded as one of the people who grew up with him.
Apart from Chang Sun Chong and Cheng Huailiang, Hou Junji accompanied him on most expeditions.
Now Li Chengqian is really worried about his safety.
Li Chengqian looked at Gao Zhixing and said, "Do you have friends in Shu? Can you bring Uncle Hou back?"
"this……"
"I won't hide it from you.
He said, because when I was walking around outside, I was in Shu, so I didn't go there at all."
"As for the rangers around me, there are basically no people from Shu. Even if they are, they are only indirect friends."
Gao Zhixing looked at Li Chengqian and said, "And I think a person like General Hou will definitely not be manipulated by him."
After all, Hou Junji was also a figure who followed Li Shimin on his expeditions to the north and south for more than ten years.
How could someone like Li Ke be easily manipulated?
Li Chengqian sighed again: "I hope so..."
After Gao Zhixing retreated, he returned to the dinner table.
But this time, he had no intention of eating.
No matter how you say it, Li Keke has a complete army.
And Shu is no joke.
Once upon a time, Li Bai and others described the ruggedness of Shu with a poem called "The Road to Shu is Difficult."
The road to Shu is difficult, even for young people.
The place where Jiange is located is filled with steep mountains, some of which even tower into the clouds.
As long as there are thousands of people guarding it, even if you have thousands of troops, you can't even try to capture that place.
Xiang Yu and Cao Cao, the two big bosses, must understand this best.
After all, the enemies they faced back then occupied Shu territory.
In the beginning, it was because he was worried that others would occupy the territory and establish themselves as kings, so Li Shimin asked Li Ke, a descendant of the royal family, to explore the Shu territory.
After all, Li Shimin was really worried about letting others go.
But how could he have imagined that this day would come?
Li Chengqian could hide it from others, but he couldn't hide it from Li Yuan's eyes.
For a man of his age, what has he never experienced?
Just by looking at someone, he can roughly guess the other person's state of mind.
Wait until the meal is over and everyone has left.
Li Yuan left Li Chengqian behind.
He asked straight to the point: "But Chang'an City Something happened over there?"
"Yes."
Li Chengqian didn't hide anything from Li Yuan either.
After all, Li Yuan is his imperial grandfather and the most senior person in the current royal family.
He said truthfully: "Brother Ke has now run away from the palace. It is said that he has arrived in Shu."
Hearing this, Li Yuan was also shocked.
He told Li Yuan what happened in Chang'an City after Li Chengqian came back.
He also understood what would happen to Li Ke after encountering such an accident.
After all, he was also a witness to the Xuanwu Gate incident.
So when he heard that Li Ke had escaped, he was shocked and angry.
I saw him slam the table: "Absurd!"
"What do these people do?"
"With so many palace guards put together, they can't even watch a young man?"
Inside and outside the palace, there were the Shenwu Army, the Longwu Army, and Li Shimin's secret guards. The total number was not just tens of thousands, but more than ten thousand.
But under such circumstances, Li Ke actually ran away?
What made him even more angry was that, not only did Li Ke escape from Chang'an City, he actually escaped all the way to Shu.
Was it Li Ke who had inflated his wings, or were they crawling to catch him?
Li Yuan stood up directly and said: "Now that such a big thing has happened, it seems that we must return to Chang'an as soon as possible."
"Grandpa Huang is absolutely right."
Li Chengqian obeyed: "I will go down and give instructions in a moment, and I will have someone escort the emperor back to the capital tomorrow."
Hearing this, Li Yuan noticed something was wrong.
He said: "What do you mean by this, you won't come with me?"
"The matter in Jiangnan Road has not been completely settled."
Li Chengqian bowed towards Li Yuan and said, "So my grandson can't go back yet."
