All the members are in love with the group, and the cub is causing trouble in the Tang Dynasty.

The first day her sister left, Yuan Yuan was heartbroken.

The day after her sister left, Yuan Yuan was heartbroken.

On the third day after Ajie left, the Shangshi Bureau sent over some hot glutinous rice balls. Yuan Yuan ate three in a row before she came to her senses.

After two days of crazy fun, she learned that Yuchi Jingde was going to go on a northern expedition to attack Xueyantuo.

Qin Shubao also wanted to go north together and escort a batch of grain and fodder to Anbei Protectorate to hand them over to Li Shiji.

When they became sworn brothers, they agreed to fight together and eat sheep together, but now Yuan Yuan is the only one left in Chang'an.

My younger brother said he was in so much pain that he wanted to die.

So the little kid rushed to the Liangyi Palace with his head down.

"Shimin Shimin, I want to go to war too!!!"

Several people in the hall looked over.

Li Shimin cruelly refused: "No."

When she was asked to go on the Northern Tour before, it was just a small matter.

This was the first time that the Tang Dynasty officially sent troops to a foreign country after he ascended the throne.

This is no joke.

Yuan Yuan hugged him tightly, raised her head and said sadly: "I want to protect my second brother!!!"

Without her, the number one expert in the Tang Dynasty, what would my second brother do!!!

Li Shimin glanced at Duke Wu who was looking smug beside him, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

"Li Qing will also go, he will protect Jingde."

Yuan Yuan glanced at the calm and composed Li Jing, then looked around and saw King Zhao in military uniform.

Prince of Zhao Li Yuanjing led his personal soldiers to wipe out all the bandit dens near the capital, and passed Li Jing's test. He will also go on the expedition with his teacher this time.

The kid rolled his eyes and shouted, "I'm going to protect Uncle Liu Lang!!!"

Uncle Liu Lang is the youngest, so he needs the protection of a master like her!!!

Li Shimin looked at King Zhao again.

King Zhao touched his nose.

"or……"

Li Jing clamped his neck with his elbow and dragged him to the back.

His Majesty the Emperor stroked his beard with satisfaction.

Yuan Yuan stretched his neck to look again.

The generals who went on the expedition, Zhang Jian, Li Daliang, Zhang Shigui, and Li Xiyu, were all present in the palace, but Yuan Yuan had never played with them before and was not very familiar with them.

The kid scratched his chin: "Then let's not go for now."

Yuchi Jingde's originally smug expression froze:

"Huh? How could you give up like this, kid? We are sworn brothers with a bond stronger than gold!!!"

"As a military commander, how can I retreat so easily..."

Zhang Jian and his men quickly carried him away.

Li Shimin expressed his satisfaction with several of his ministers who were able to read people's expressions.

He patted the kid's head and said, "Tomorrow I will send the army out to the Chengtian Gate, and you will go with us."

***

The next day, at daybreak, civil and military officials gathered outside Chengtian Gate to bid farewell to the Northern Expedition Army together with the emperor.

Before Li Shimin opened his mouth to boost morale, he saw the little boy holding Yuchi Jingde with one hand and Qin Shubao with the other, crying loudly.

"Wow, wow, my second brother, now that you are gone, what will happen to Yuanyuan!!!"

"Wow wow wow, I'm the only one among the four of us who loves food!!!"

Yuchi Jingde was also very sad at first.

But as my heart grew sadder, I felt something was wrong.

He looked at Qin Shubao, whose eyelids were twitching, and said in a low voice: "Yuan Baoer, we are back!"

Yuan Yuan raised her head slightly and sighed deeply, "Oh, hey, hey, hey."

Then he turned to Dahuang and untied the two chickens tied around its neck.

Yuchi Jingde and Qin Shubao each received a farewell gift.

"Aunt Yuchi and Aunt Qin, please take good care of Ermao and Sanmao! When we come back, we will eat them together!!!"

Yuchi Jingde raised his eyebrows: "It's only been a few days, and it's Ermao's turn again?"

Yuan Yuan nodded and whispered, "Grandma killed several pigs yesterday to feed Da Huang and the others!"

Yuchi Jingde glanced at Da Huang and whispered, "How can Da Huang and the others... Hey, they are all uncles after all!"

Da Huang glanced at him indifferently, and Yuchi Jingde smiled again: "Good boy, only by eating more meat can you grow strong!"

Qin Shubao hugged Sanmao and sighed, thinking that this chicken would be gone for at least several months, could it survive until then?

It seems that we need to prepare a few chickens that look similar. The kid is sharp-eyed and will say that they are on a march and have to sleep in the open air, so any slight changes are normal.

Well, let's do it.

King Zhao stood not far away, with his arms folded and a look of surprise on his face.

The two dukes at least got a chicken, but he didn't get even a chicken feather.

After saying goodbye to her good second brother and was about to leave, Yuan Yuan saw her uncle Liu Lang looking at her with a resentful expression from behind.

The little girl felt a little guilty because there were only two kittens left in her house, and she couldn't afford one more!

She rolled her eyes, took out two Qiuqiu candies from her small pocket, and ran over to hand them to King Zhao.

"Uncle Liu Lang, here, when you come back, let's eat the Qiuqiu candy together!"

King Zhao took the two candies from her hand and thought, there are only two, and I have to bring them back and give her one?

Forget it, better than nothing.

He took out the wooden box he had prepared long ago and handed it over: "Here, if I can't make it back in time to attend your birthday, this is your birthday gift."

Yuan Yuan took the box and opened it, and found bears, wolves, tigers, leopards, lions and dogs made of gold inside.

“Wow…”

“It’s so beautiful!!!”

Yuchi Jingde held the chicken, looking unhappy: "This boy is so insidious, there are still several months and he has already prepared gifts, it's obvious to him!"

Qin Shubao glanced at him, coughed lightly, took out a key from his arms, walked over and handed it to Yuan Yuan.

"I wanted to come back and give it to you. Grandfather also prepared a birthday gift for you. It's in the room at the guard post. You can go get it later."

Yuan Yuan happily took the key, then looked at Yuchi Jingde with anticipation.

Yuchi Jingde: "..."

Bah, no moral ethics at all!

***

After a brief farewell, the Northern Expedition Army set off.

Yuan Yuan held Li Shimin's hand, went up to the city wall and watched the army leave.

When the sun rose completely, Li Shimin said calmly:

"I have waited for this moment for too long."

"Yuanyuan, today is the beginning of the great power of the Tang Dynasty."

He pointed westward.

"After defeating the Xueyantuo in the north, there are still Gaochang, Tuyuhun, and Western Turks in the west..."

Pointing east again:

"Over there are Goguryeo, Baekje, Silla, and Wa..."

"With gunpowder and refined iron, these places will become the territory of our Great Tang in the near future."

Yuan Yuan looked at him with a frown on his chubby face.

"Shimin Shimin, do you have money?"

Li Shimin: "..."

There are still heavy floods in Longzhou and other places, and there is also a locust plague in Dezhou area.

The treasury can’t save money…

Yuan Yuan took out two copper coins from his pocket and handed them to him.

"Let's go find the Emperor, Aung, I'm so sleepy!"

"My sister said that there is everything in dreams. I want to eat pigs in my dreams!!!"

She was brought here by Grandpa before daybreak!

Holding hands, an adult and a child walked down the city wall and headed toward the palace.

"Shimin Shimin, can I take a day off today?"

"...It's just this once, it won't happen again."
