Datang: My father is the head bodyguard

The guard guarding the city took a look at the sign and woke up from his sleep: "Wait a moment, I have to verify the authenticity of the token."

The guard came to the guardhouse at the door, pulled his superior officer and showed him the token: "Shangguan! Shangguan! Don't sleep, the British Lord is coming!"

The general's eyes were sleepy and he smacked his chapped lips: "What nonsense are you talking about? Where is the British Duke? Didn't you read the newspaper from the palace some time ago? The British Duke has been promoted to the King of England. Go, go, go. Don't It bothers me to sleep."

The guard shook the general's arm: "Sir, isn't the person using this token pretending to be His Royal Highness?"

With just such a word, the general woke up from his drowsiness, stood up and said, "Let's go and meet them."

Li Shimin was a little impatient in the passenger seat: "It takes so long to check a token? What do the generals who defend the city do for a living?"

Yuchi Baoqi was very tolerant: "We've been here since dawn. Can we be considerate of the grassroots below? Just slow down."

The eight guards guarding the city gate together with the general came to Yuchi Baoqi's car window: "Mr. British, there is something wrong with your token. Please come down and follow us."

Yuchi Baoqi became angry: "No, I've been waiting for you to check the token for so long, and you just checked this? What's the problem now? I'm in a hurry."

The general snorted coldly: "A few days ago, our wise and mighty Emperor of the Tang Dynasty just promoted the Duke of England to His Royal Highness. Your British Duke's token is quite realistic. If this general hadn't been well-informed, I really want to hide it from you."

Yuchi Baoqi sighed and took out a large number of tokens from his arms: "Here are the British King's tokens you want, as well as the E-guo Duke's waist badge, the British Duke's palace waist badge, and the inner city for entering and exiting the palace. Waist badge, Baoli Trading Company Tianbao waist badge, half of the Tianwei Army Tiger Talisman, 'I am here in person' token, and half of the Xuanjia Army Tiger Talisman."

The general was holding a large handful of tokens and tiger charms. He was numb. Before he could react, Li Shimin said hello to him.

"Hey, that one over there. Do you think I look like the wise and powerful Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty that you say?"

The generals returned the tokens to Yuchi Baoqi one by one, their faces close to despair: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I really didn't know that I would meet you two in the Mobei Protectorate. Please, sir. There are a lot of them.”

Yuchi Baoqi waved his hand: "Just get out of the way. It's okay to guard the city gate carefully, but can you have some brains? To put it bluntly, this car can be driven by the Tang Dynasty. How many can there be? How many more?"

The road was cleared and the horses were moved away. Yuchi Baoqi drove towards the city. Suddenly something occurred to him and he put into reverse gear and returned to the general.

The general was already beyond love and was ready to be fucked to the end, but Yuchi Baoqi asked.

"Um, which haggis restaurant in the city tastes good?"

The general was stunned for a while and said, "There's an old horse's haggis in front of us. We all went to drink it after we got off duty. It's very good."

Yuchi Baoqi nodded and continued driving, heading towards the road pointed by the general to Lao Ma's haggis to solve the breakfast problem.

There are people in the city who have gotten up to work and do things. They have seen transport trucks. They can see them every now and then. This small truck is really rare, and more and more people are watching.

Yuchi Baoqi lowered the car window: "Excuse me, where is Lao Ma's haggis?"

The people pointed to a red flag not far away, with the words haggis written on it. It was floating in the air, as if it was about to fall down at any time.

After parking the car at a random corner, Li Shimin and Yuchi Baoqi went straight to the store: "Seller, how much does a bowl of haggis cost?"

"Ten cents for a small bowl, fifteen cents for a large bowl, and you get a cake for both."

"Two big bowls, and two more pancakes. Is there anything else to eat?"

"Yes, plain mutton strips, beef shank in sauce, buy any of them and get a cold side dish for free."

Yuchi Baoqi waved his hand: "One for each."

Since it was still relatively early, there were only a few customers in the store eating and drinking. Li Shimin looked around the environment and found that it was a very comfortable and clean environment in the Mobei Grassland Protectorate.

"Xiaobao, can you make money by selling it so cheaply?"

Yuchi Baoqi picked up two heads of garlic and put them in a small bowl aside: "It's a good deal. Cows and sheep are produced here. I don't think vegetables are more expensive than meat here, so just eat it."

"My guests, you two have two large bowls of haggis, four pancakes, white-cut mutton strips plus a portion of soy beef, a complimentary portion of sweet and sour radish strips, and a portion of pickles and edamame."

Yuchi Baoqi looked at the haggis in the bowl with a large amount of minced garlic and chives, and stirred it with chopsticks. The smell of the haggis mixed with the aroma of minced garlic hit his nose.

Li Shimin put down his chopsticks after taking one bite. Yuchi Baoqi looked up and said, "Isn't it to your liking?"

Li Shimin shook his head: "After all, how many delicious things are there, I...I haven't eaten them yet?"

Yuchi Baoqi was a little speechless, but still answered the question very seriously: "Beiping's fried belly-shabu-shabu pork, Jinling's dry silk shumai, Tianjin Wei's twists, Goubuli steamed buns, Lingnan's Tingzai porridge, rice rolls, Lushun's Salted fish pancakes and charcoal grilled oysters.”

"Beidi's three delicacies, butcher's cabbage, sauerkraut and white meat stewed vermicelli, grilled pork strips, pot-wrapped pork, and blood sausage."

“Squirrel mandarin fish, short leg soup dumplings, pickled fresh meat, crystal elbow, and pagoda meat from Gusu.”

"Our Tang Dynasty is a vast land with abundant resources. Every place has its own food and customs. While you can still move around, you should definitely visit more."

"I've been working for the Tang Dynasty for half my life in the imperial city, and when I died, I couldn't see clearly the country I had guarded for so many years. Isn't it too sad?"

Li Shimin picked up the bowl and showed off: "Your father and I will eat the delicacies you mentioned, and your father and I will go visit the places you mentioned."

Yuchi Baoqi put a piece of plain mutton into his mouth and said vaguely: "Yeah, yeah, let's go, can't you go? Can you stop emphasizing that you are my father?"

The two of them finished the breakfast quickly. Yuchi Baoqi and Li Shimin were both very satisfied. As soon as they walked out of the store, they saw several people wearing Baoli Trading Company uniforms waiting.

"Master, Master. I didn't know that when you came, you missed me from afar."

Yuchi Baoqi waved his hand: "Get in the car and lead the way to the store."

The steward hurriedly responded, followed Li Shimin and Yuchi Baoqi into the car, and guided them all the way to the center of the Mobei Protectorate. A large number of projects were in progress, but the main building of Baoli Trading Company had been basically completed.

After the steward got out of the car, he helped Li Shimin open the door and helped Li Shimin get out of the car: "Master, be careful."

Yuchi Baoqi pulled off his sunglasses and put them on the tip of his nose carelessly: "The construction is not finished yet. Is it open for business?"
