More than a hundred strong horses walked eastward along the south bank of the Jing River. The sound of horse hooves could be heard far away. Pedestrians on the roadside looked around. Although they did not see the knights wearing armor, they saw the flags and stopped one after another, with a look of respect on their faces.
Because this is the famous black armor cavalry of Tiance Mansion who defeated Liu Wuzhou, Xue family father and son, Dou Jiande, Liu Heita and other powerful men.
"Your Highness, Changlepo is ahead of us. Hurry up and report back. We will arrive in one hour."
Li Shimin, who personally went out to welcome the horse, has been idle since he was urgently recalled to Beijing more than half a month ago. Today, he rarely left the city. He was in a good mood. He reined in the strong horse with his left hand and waved the whip with his right hand. "This horse has strong legs, but it's a pity that it looks ugly."
Du Ruhui, who stood beside him, had a dead face, "This horse is strong and good at walking, and it has done a great job in helping His Highness break through the summer. Why is it despised by Your Highness because of its ugly appearance?"
Li Shimin was dumbfounded for a moment. If he really disliked Ma Chou, he would not ride it, but Du Ruhui was so embarrassed.
Fang Xuanling smiled and approached the horse to smooth things over, "I heard that this horse's legs are not weak and its legs are purple. What does General Qiu think?"
A tall, muscular man with a sinewy face said with a smile: "Such a good horse is indeed not weak and sassy. Your Highness, despite his long whirlpool hair, is riding a big broken Liu Heita. It really complements His Highness."
Li Shimin thought that Du Ruhui was strong and forthright and suitable to be in charge of the sect. Fang Xuanling had many recommendations and was meticulous in handling affairs, so he was more suitable to be a minister. He brought the topic back in just two or three sentences.
The evaluation of the horse naturally turned to Qiu Xinggong, who had just flattered him. Because in the battle of Luoyang last year, Li Shimin went deep into the siege, and the beautiful horse under his crotch was exposed purple and was hit by an arrow in the chest. It was Qiu Xinggong who gave up the horse, holding a knife in one hand and holding the hand with the other.
Sa Lu Zi successfully escorted Li Shimin out of the siege.
In fact, this ugly horse was named "Luo Renju", and it was later listed with "Sa Lu Zi" as one of the Six Horses of Zhaoling.
Why change the topic to Qiu Xinggong?
Because today, the Prince of Qin's Mansion went out to welcome distinguished guests, and one of them was the father of Qiu Xinggong, the man who had flattered him just now. Qiu He, a powerful man who had been in Jiaozhi for many years, defected to the Tang Dynasty last year and was made Duke of Tan.
"Tan Guogong is seventy years old. It has been difficult for him to settle down in Jiaozhi for many years." Li Shimin looked at Qiu Xinggong and said, "I have informed my father that I can allow Tan Guogong to stay in Beijing or return to Jizhou."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Qiu Xinggong breathed a sigh of relief. After all, many powerful men who surrendered to the Tang Dynasty or were captured... almost never survived.
Qiu He went south to serve as the prefect of Jiaozhi as early as the year of Daye, but Qiu Xinggong stayed in Guanzhong for a long time. He was an old man who followed Li Yuan from Taiyuan and was also the first general to follow Li Shimin. He is now the hussar general of the Zuoyi Prefecture of the Prince of Qin.
The middle-aged man who had been silent until now suddenly pointed forward, "There seems to be a noise, are you here so soon?"
"The auxiliary engine is so anxious?" Li Shimin sighed: "The Guanyin Monument was also like this last night."
Changsun Wuji looked anxious and wanted to urge his horse forward. This was understandable to everyone. His father was Changsun Sheng, a famous general in the Sui Dynasty who could kill two birds with one stone. His arrows were like thunderbolts and he was known as the Thunderbolt Hall of Luoyang.
After Changsun Sheng died of illness, Changsun Wuji, his sister, and his widowed mother were kicked out of the house. They were taken in by his uncle Gao Shilian, who treated them as his own children, raised them, and taught them as teachers.
Gao Shilian was convicted and demoted to Jiaozhi during the Daye period, and later became the chief official of Qiu He, the prefect of Jiaozhi. This time he went to Beijing with Qiu He.
Li Shimin also had a lot of contacts with Gao Shilian back then, and his wife was Gao Shilian's niece. After a few words of comfort, he turned around and looked around. The person who followed him out of the city to greet him this time was either Qiu He, Gao Shilian's in-law, or his confidant. Staff, but there are some nephews and nephews who can control them.
Watching a dozen horses driving forward, Qiu Xinggong smiled and said, "Just now I asked my nephew to go find a wine shop and buy a few jugs of good wine."
"Is Tan Guogong still that good at drinking?"
"My uncle is also quite good at drinking."
Changsun Wuji was chatting with his colleagues while looking into the distance. Suddenly his eyelids twitched... The noise in front seemed to be louder?
It's calm here, but it's already blooming over there!
Li Shanzhen lives up to his name, he is extremely kind-hearted. Who would not say that he was a classmate or colleague in his previous life and that he was a good old man?
But a good old man is forced into a corner and has no choice but to give it a try!
Students from poor backgrounds struggle to survive in a big city. Not to mention living expenses, even tuition fees have to be earned by themselves. How can they not fight?
I just want to be stubborn, I really want to be stubborn, why do you always force me to go crazy?!
Wu Zhong, Li Dewu, and now it’s your turn again, Wang Renyou!
While we were sitting here drinking, Wang Renyou suddenly broke in with his men. He didn't ask any questions and just started taking action... This turtle couldn't bear it. Could he just be beaten like this?
At first, before Li Shan, who was slightly drunk, could make a move, Zhou Zhao, who boasted a lot of wine, had already smashed the wine bowl over, and the five followers at the table next to him also pounced on him.
After a melee, Wang Renyou and a young man were shaking like chaff, and all the seven followers they brought were neatly knocked down. Although the young men in Zhujiagou had not joined the army, they were proficient in martial arts and were selected by Zhu Wei. Carefully selected to protect Li Shan.
Just as he was about to leave after the fight, Li Shan was still thinking about informing Li Kai and Li Zhaode when another group of people rushed over.
No more fun!
Li Shan picked up the leg of the couch that had been scattered at some point to block the whip that was being drawn. Li Shan kicked it hard, got closer like lightning, and punched the opponent in the ribs.
After all, Li Shan is also a skilled practitioner, and he is also an orthopedic surgeon... He specializes in attacking places where the opponent is not fatal but can easily lose their combat effectiveness. There are already three or four people who have fallen in front of him.
He threw the foot of the couch at a young man who was rushing towards him and smashed him all over his face. Li Shan roared and rushed towards Wang Renyou. He caught the young man and slapped him with two merciless slaps.
Hearing the sound of wind on the back of his head, Li Shan pushed Wang Renyou back in his hand and hit the guy on the back of the head with the wooden stick.
The young man holding a wooden stick looked at the fainted Wang Renyou at a loss. He is really here to help you.
There was a sound of breaking wind, and a riding crop was struck hard on Li Shan's back. He turned his head and covered his face with his hands. He ignored the opponent's another whip and jumped forward to knock him down.
The two of them were rolling around on the ground. Seeing that their opponent was still looking for a weapon, Li Shan decided to give him a headbutt!
When Li Shan got up from the ground, there was a brief silence in the room. A young man opposite could not help but feel a little scared. Li Shan's face was bruised and swollen, his forehead was bleeding, and his eyes were dark purple, but his face was expressionless, and there was a cruel look in his eyes. color.
After kicking a big man away and rescuing Zhu Ba, and picking up Zhou Zhao who was beaten to the ground, Li Shan and four young villagers gathered together.
"The stick man stands in the back row!"
"Pick up the short couch and hold it in front of you."
"Poke me!"
Hoarse shouts resounded through the small wine shop. Although there were more than a dozen people on the opposite side holding various weapons, they were unable to do anything under Li Shan's command. Instead, Zhu Ba and Li Shan found the opportunity to knock down three or four people.
The noisy noise obscured the sound of horse hooves gradually outside the house, and the two groups of people met outside the wine shop.
"How dare you trouble King Qin to come and greet you?" Qiu He, who was gray-haired but energetic, dismounted from his horse and strode towards Li Shimin, "I have heard about King Qin's military exploits for a long time, but unfortunately I am far away in Lingnan and I have no chance to see it with my own eyes."
Qiu Xinggong knelt down and said, "Greetings to my father."
Qiu He smiled and motioned for his second son to get up, but he was helpless in his heart. His senior official Gao Shilian had a deep relationship with the Qin Palace, and the second son Qiu Xinggong was a general of the Qin Palace, so he had no choice but to board this boat.
After exchanging a few words, Qiu He turned around and looked at Gao Shilian. He knew in his heart that Li Shimin came in person mainly because of Gao Shilian.
But Gao Shilian did not look at Qiu He and Li Shimin, but looked at the roadside wine shop in surprise.
With a scolding, the closed wooden door was smashed, and a man was thrown out in embarrassment.
"Dalang!"
Qiu Xinggong roared angrily and looked intently at the young man who was carrying another person and throwing him out the door.
