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

Li Shen followed Dang Renhong to Guangzhou. The palace soldiers brought by Dang Renhong protected Li Shen in front and on both sides, while the palace guards were in the middle to protect Li Shen.

Li Shen also got out of the carriage, mounted his white dragon horse, and rode forward with Dang Renhong.

This is Li Shen expressing his attitude, proving his courage as a member of the royal family and his trust in Dang Renhong.

However, Tieniu's horse followed Li Shen closely, holding a horse branch in his hand, ready to protect Li Shen at any time.

Dang Renhong saw all this. The guards in Prince Ji's Mansion were very disciplined, and no one made a sound or said a word from beginning to end.

The team marched in an orderly manner, advancing and retreating in a measured manner. More than 2000 people were wearing full body armor, and even the horses were wearing mail armor.

Moreover, Dang Renhong has been in the field for many years, and of course he has a good vision. He recognized at a glance that the horses in the guard camp were Dawan horses from the Western Regions.

The Dawan horses are fat and strong, otherwise ordinary horses with people and armor would definitely not be able to carry them.

There were two people who caught his attention the most. One was Xue Rengui. Dang Renhong was someone who had been there before, so he could judge people fairly accurately.

Xue Rengui is eight feet tall and has a restrained aura. He looks like a general at first glance. He has sharp eyes and must have extraordinary martial arts skills.

The second person was Tieniu who was following behind him. This man looked honest and honest at first glance, making even the veteran Dang Renhong feel in danger.

The horse under the seat is different from the others. It is taller and stronger than the Dawan horse. It should be a Mongolian horse.

Tieniu was tall, with broad shoulders, and his arms were as powerful as a bush. Although he held a horse in his hand, what attracted Dang Renhong's attention was the large knife like a door panel slung across his back.

From this we can see two things. The first is that the Iron Ox is extremely powerful and has the power to break mountains.

The horse of the second iron ox is stronger than the iron ox.

Dang Renhong could completely imagine how dangerous the thousand or so people he had just met were.

I secretly sighed in my heart that this King Ji was indeed as rich as the legend and could rival the country.

The cost of these more than 2000 Dawan horses from the Western Regions alone is more than one million guan, and the annual breeding cost is at least hundreds of thousands of guan.

Coupled with this equipment, this is a walking treasure trove.

Anyone who has the strength to rob these people would really make a fortune.

"By the way, Party Commander, you haven't answered my question just now. How did you know that I would come? And you also knew that I was here." Li Shen asked as he walked away.

"Hahahaha, this is still related to the prince. Does the prince still remember the Cangzhou case?" Dang Renhong laughed.

"You mean Xi Bian's case? Is it related to him?" Li Shen asked curiously.

"It is indeed relevant. Your Majesty, you should remember that at that time, His Majesty ordered the envoys from various states to go to watch the execution, and I, the envoy from Guangzhou, were also among them.

Later, he wrote to me, explaining the matter, and mentioned that the prince was going to Lingnan to visit the fifth prince, so I asked people to wait for the prince in Xinzhou and Guangzhou Port.

I want to do my best to be a landlord.

I originally thought that the prince would go by sea and land, but I didn't expect that Xinzhou said that the prince would take the land route. "

Dang Renhong explained.

"Oh, it turns out you have been paying attention to my whereabouts." Li Shen said suddenly, with deep meaning in his tone.

"Don't get me wrong, Your Majesty. I am loyal to Your Majesty and to the Tang Dynasty. When Your Majesty comes to Lingnan, he has to pass through the jurisdiction of my Guangzhou Governor's Mansion.

The lower official just wants to ensure the safety of the prince, and also to entertain the prince warmly. "

Dang Renhong hurriedly explained.

"Hahahahaha, you don't have to be like this, Commander-in-Chief of the Party. I have no other intentions. I just went to Rongzhou to visit my fifth brother. I didn't want to disturb the place."

Li Shen smiled.

Dang Renhong's expression became a little better, and the two continued to chat while on their way.

Li Shen did not mention political affairs at all, and even asked about the cultural landscape of Lingnan, for which Li Shen was very interested.

In later generations, there were two cities in the north, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, and Lingnan accounted for two. There were also two major administrative regions, Hong Kong and Macao, both of which were economically developed places.

He was just curious about what the Tang Dynasty was like.

Because Li Shen had been to these four places in his previous life.

Since Li Shen didn't ask about political affairs, Dang Renhong wouldn't talk about it, so he started to tell Li Shen about the humanities and culture of the Lingnan region, as well as some famous mountains and rivers (serious ones).

He has jurisdiction over fourteen state capitals, so he naturally knows a lot, but Li Shen is like a child who doesn't understand anything, and his eyes are full of surprise when he hears new things.

Sometimes Li Shen would even utter exclamations to cooperate, which was very useful to Dang Renhong.

So what about the prince, doesn't he still look like he has never seen the world?

After walking for an hour, they finally arrived at the Guangzhou Governor's Mansion. Li Shen looked at the tall city walls and felt quite emotional.

Although it is tall now, this place will be a ruin in future generations.

"Your Majesty, please come into the city~" Dang Renhong said.

"Rengui, order the guard camp to set up camp outside the city. The first battalion will follow me into the city." Li Shen turned around and ordered.

According to Tang law, the army is not allowed to enter the city. Li Shen's guard camp belongs to the three thousand guards under the Prince's Mansion. It also belongs to the army, so it cannot enter the city.

But the prince had a guard of honor, numbering about 300 people. Including the guards it carries, the number is 500.

Li Shen didn't have a guard of honor, so he took advantage of the opportunity and brought more than 300 people to pretend to be a guard of honor.

If this was an impeachment that someone had come up with, Li Shen wouldn't be able to argue, but Li Shen was thick-skinned. If Dang Renhong said he didn't agree,

Li Shen asked the guards to take off their armor. Isn't it just a guard of honor?

But obviously Dang Renhong didn't care about this, as if he didn't hear it.

In this way, Li Shen led nearly 500 people into Guangzhou City and came to Dang Renhong's governor's office.

It's not that Li Shen likes to show off, but Li Shen doesn't know what kind of person Dang Renhong is. If he is a treacherous and evil person, I guess Li Shen is here for him. If he kills him again, Li Shen will feel that he is wronged.

Li Shen always takes precautions when doing anything, thinking through the consequences before arranging an escape route.

With 500 people, even the soldiers in the Guangzhou Dudu Mansion really couldn't defeat Li Shen.

When he came to the front hall, Dang Renhong took out a jar from his study and carefully took out a bamboo tube from it.

He poured out some tea leaves from the bamboo tube and made tea for Li Shen himself.

Dang Renhong poured a glass for Li Shen, poured another glass for himself, then made an inviting gesture to Li Shen and said:

"Your Highness Prince Ji, please have some tea."

After saying that, he drank his own tea first.

Li Shen nodded, then took a small sip, leaving a scent on his lips and teeth.

"Good tea, if my guess is correct, this should be the tribute tea from our Prince Ji's Mansion.

It is said that Lingnan is a smog-stricken land, but you can still drink this tribute tea. The party governor is really capable. "

Li Shen praised it, and he immediately realized after the first sip that it was tribute tea made by his family.
