I am Li Shen and Li Shimin, the free kings of the Tang Dynasty

At the south gate of the important city in Qinghai, five thousand Yulin Guards, five thousand Youxiao Guards, and three thousand Zuoxiao Guards were ready to go.

Hundreds of large trucks followed the team.

Li Shimin's ceremonial guard was protected in the middle.

Li Shen's team was at the end, with three thousand personal guards protecting Li Shen's carriage.

At this moment, Li Shimin, Li Shen, Li Tai and Li Zhi were standing in front of the city gate, accepting the farewell of all the officials of the important city.

"Farewell, Your Majesty, and the Grand Protector."

Everyone saluted together.

"Farewell, Your Majesty, and the Grand Protector."

Next to the city gate and on the city walls, tens of thousands of soldiers saluted together.

The sound was deafening and majestic, making Li Shimin and Li Shen feel a sense of pride.

"Okay, Your Majesty..."

Because he was too excited, Li Shen was the first to speak loudly.

But after he said three words, Li Shimin pulled him back.

Li Shimin glared at Li Shen, then shouted to Li Zhiming and other soldiers:

"Commendants, after I leave, this important city in the northwest will depend on you.

You are all heroes of our Tang Dynasty. I hope you can protect the important city of Chiling for me and the Tang Dynasty.

If a strong enemy attacks, and you soldiers fight bravely, I will naturally reward you handsomely, and it is not impossible for you to be promoted to a higher position."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Li Zhiming yelled.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

All the soldiers followed suit and shouted, regardless of whether they could hear what His Majesty said or not.

"It's your turn now."

After Li Shimin finished speaking, he turned around and said to Li Shen.

Li Shen walked forward, looked at Li Zhiming, and suddenly forgot what he was going to say.

"Well...well...Tubo can't rob cattle and sheep anymore, so you guys go to the north to rob them.

Or go to Liangzhou.

I will have someone prepare the money."

In the end, Li Shen couldn't remember what he wanted to say just now, and could only talk about the food expenses.

But this matter does need to be arranged.

They used to buy cattle and sheep from Tubo, and now Tubo has become a hostile force to the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shen thought it would be closer to go to Liangzhou City.

"Aren't you afraid of being impeached?" Li Shimin asked with a frown when he saw Li Shen coming back.

"Afraid, very afraid." Li Shen replied without hesitation.

"Then how dare you spend your own money to support your private army?" Li Shimin glared and scolded.

"Why do I have private soldiers?" Li Shen's face was full of confusion.

"Asshole, isn't buying cattle and sheep the same as raising private soldiers? Have you forgotten how you were impeached last year?"

Li Shimin asked angrily.

“Aye, I didn’t pay for my own soldiers.

Didn’t I just say that they stole it from the sidelines? This has nothing to do with me.”

Li Shen quickly hired a connection.

"Bonus the edge?" Li Shimin did not expect that Li Shen would use this method to give his soldiers a snack.

"Yes, we are going to seize the border and plunder Tubo. This time, we are going to let them leave from Liangzhou and head north."

Li Shen quickly explained.

Li Tai and Li Zhi both curled their lips, looking disdainful.

He doesn't think he can get away with such a crude method, right?

But they never expected that their shrewd father would actually believe it. He kept nodding and said:

"This is how our Great Tang must be. The buckle is not just for foreigners.

Li Zhiming, just do as Prince Ji says."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Li Zhiming quickly agreed. This was a good thing. With the emperor's order, they could get twice the result with half the effort.

Of course, they couldn't really go to the border. The Tiele in the north had already surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and apart from Liangzhou City there was Longyou Road.

"Do you have anything else to say?" Li Shimin looked at Li Shen and asked.

"Without Aye, I have already said everything that needs to be said."

Li Shen shook his head.

"Well, let's go." After saying that, he turned and walked towards his carriage.

Li Shen and his two brothers also walked towards their carriages.

"Farewell, Your Majesty." Everyone bowed again.

"Let's go." Qin Qiong gave the order.

"Boom, boom, boom,"

"Woo~~Woo~~Woo~~"

The drums beat three times, the departure horns blew, and most of the people slowly headed eastward.

"Xuan Ce, do you think I am isolated?"

At the end, Li Shen was riding on the second generation Little White Dragon and waiting for the team to move forward.

In order to demonstrate his power, he, the chief protector, decided to ride a horse first.

Seeing that Li Tai and Li Zhi were both in his father's team,

He was the only one in the team, and he suddenly felt so lonely.

"Your Majesty, we have three thousand guards. The King of Jin and the King of Wei have no guards, so they are traveling in a convoy with His Majesty."

Wang Xuance could guess what Li Shen was thinking at once.

Envy and jealousy,

"Hmph, I'm not willing to join them in the same team." Li Shen snorted, his eyes full of disdain.

After a while, Li Shimin's convoy began to move forward slowly.

"Set off!!"

Li Shen, riding on the carriage, waved his hand, then followed on horseback.

The journey back to Chang'an is long, so Li Shen will ride on horseback for a while before getting back in the carriage.

Li Shen looked back at the important city on Qinghai Road, feeling somewhat reluctant.

Maybe this separation will be forever.

Li Shimin's troops quickened their pace because they were in a hurry. After walking more than fifty miles, they set up camp.

"Your Highness Prince Ji, His Majesty wants you to come over."

Wang De came early in the morning and Li Shen said.

“If you don’t want to go, just tell them that I’m not feeling well.

I will go visit him when I am better. " Li Shen decisively refused after hearing this.

Li Shen still remembers what happened last time clearly.

"Oh my little prince, please don't embarrass me. His Majesty must have something to discuss with you.

If you delay His Majesty's important task, Your Majesty will suffer physical pain again."

There was a certain threat in Wang De's words, which made Li Shen very unhappy.

I have sworn not to meddle in other people's business.

"Old Wang, are you trying to scare me? I'm not going anyway.

You saw what happened last time, and I swear I will never bring trouble upon myself again."

Li Shen said confidently.

"My Lord, this matter is not something that you, an old servant, can decide, nor is it something that you can decide.

Your Majesty, please change your clothes quickly and don't keep His Majesty waiting for too long, or you will be beaten again."

Seeing that Li Shen was going to cheat again, Wang De had no choice but to continue threatening him.

"Your Majesty, when I came here, His Majesty said that if His Royal Highness Prince Ji does not go, then I have the authority to order someone to escort you there."

"You're still escorting me? This isn't a military camp. Lao Wang, do you know why my father called me?"

Li Shen looked at Wang De with mixed feelings in his heart, gritted his teeth,

"Come here, change your clothes."

(I will update one chapter first. It is six o'clock now. I have not slept all night and I can't bear it any longer. I will update two more chapters before noon. I have to go to sleep.

The reason for my insomnia is very simple. The person who made me overcome the tribulation is here to harass me again and disturb my mood.

All the blame is dumped on me, I am not at fault at all.

Please bear with me.)
