Is this no one in the court?
Especially in Du Qi's letter, it was said that Feng Deyi suggested Du Qi to go.Li Shimin then looked down and saw Du Qi's analysis of Feng Deyi, and Li Jiancheng's several incidents against Du Qi during this period, Li Shimin clenched his fists even more.
Li Shimin said: "Keming, this time, I have worked hard for Du Erlang. But don't worry, I will immediately arrange a hundred mysterious armored cavalry to return to Chang'an quickly and escort Du Erlang along the way. After all, it is the emperor's order this time, and it is Du Erlang again. Erlang went there voluntarily, and it is definitely impossible to chase them back. What we can do now is to arrange people to protect their safety along the way."
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Du Ruhui quickly thanked him.
The matter has come to this point, Du Ruhui also knows that it is impossible to change.Because according to the current time, Du Qi is about to leave.Under such a premise, even if he returns immediately, it is impossible to stop it.
Li Shimin said: "According to what Erlang said, this Feng Deyi may have leaned towards the East Palace, which is a bit unreliable."
Du Ruhui said: "Not necessarily, but you have to be careful."
Li Shimin nodded.
Seeing this, Fang Xuanling also walked over.After reading the letter, he said: "The matter has come to this point, and it is impossible to stop it. According to what His Highness said, immediately arrange a hundred Xuanjia Jingqi to go back. However, these hundred Xuanjia Jingqi don't have to be in the open Go up, you can follow in secret, just follow in secret. Once you encounter danger, it’s not too late to take action."
Du Ruhui said: "What Xuanling said is true."
He agreed with Fang Xuanling's strategy.
At this time, Du Ruhui's mind gradually stabilized.In the past, he was concerned about chaos and worried about Du Qi's safety.But in the letter, Du Qi had already said that Du Ruhui didn't need to worry about it, he just asked Du Ruhui to be careful about some things in Chang'an.
Now with Li Shimin's arrangements, Du Ruhui felt more at ease.
However, Du Ruhui could only pray.
Looking forward to Du Qi's safe return.
Chapter 182 Assassination
Assassinate
Early in the morning, the sun rises.
Du's backyard.
Du Qi had already tidied things up early.According to Du Qi's plan, it is enough to wear light and simple clothes, wear gold silk soft armor in the inner shirt, sleeve arrows in the sleeves, dagger, treasure bag and so on.
But there were two women in the family, one was the mother, Mrs. Zheng, who stuffed food and clothes into the half-carriage with large and small bags;
The stuff stuffed by the two women is a whole carriage.
When Du Qi was about to go out, both of them looked like pear blossoms and rain, which made Du Qi uncomfortable.Under the entrustment of his old lady Zheng, Du Qi finally got rid of the two people, then got into the carriage, and left with Moredo and Liu Jian.
These two people took care of Du Qi's daily life.
The two carriages left and hurried on their way, and soon came to the north gate of Chang'an City.
Outside the north gate, there is a team of people.
It's really Changsun Shunde and his party.
The elder Sun Shunde was nearly fifty years old, but he was a burly man, a typical northern man.Even so, the eldest grandson Shunde does not look old and looks very energetic
.
Changsun Shunde came from the Changsun family and was the uncle of Changsun Wugou. During the Sui Dynasty, Changsun Shunde was just a small guard. In order not to participate in the Battle of Goguryeo, Changsun Shunde fled to Taiyuan and became Li Yuan's entourage.
When Li Yuan raised his army, Changsun Shunde served as a general in the army, conquering east and west, and made many military exploits. Finally, he was promoted to General Zuo Xiaowei and named Xue Guogong.The eldest grandson Shunde was unwilling to go to Goguryeo when he was young, but now the eldest grandson Shunde is quite majestic.
Next to Changsun Shunde, there was a group of soldiers.
It belonged to Sun Shunde and Du Qi, the chief guards.
Du Qi stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "My boy, Du Qi, pay my respects to General Eldest Sun."
The eldest grandson Shunde was on the side of Li Shimin in history.After all, Li Shimin has always been the main force on the battlefield.Many generals in the army have a good relationship with Li Shimin.
That's exactly the case. When Changsun Shunde saw Du Qi, he nodded and said: "Du Erlang, you are welcome, you are a famous writer in Chang'an. You don't have to be like this in front of this old man."
Du Qi shook his head and said: "This time, there are only principal envoys and deputy envoys, and there are no literary figures."
The elder Sun Shunde stroked his beard and smiled.
Although Du Qi is famous for his talent, he is not arrogant about his talent.even long
Sun Shunde also praised it quite a lot.
Changsun Shunde said: "Let's go!"
"General Changsun, please!"
After Du Qi waved his hand and waited for Sun Shunde to board the carriage, he returned to his own carriage and followed the mission.
For Du Qi, it is not difficult to go on an envoy.
The team hurried on their way, and after leaving Chang'an, they headed north all the way.After leaving Gyeonggi-do, enter Hadong-do in the north.The final destination of Du Qi and Changsun Shunde's journey is Daizhou in the north of Hedong Road.
After entering Daizhou, go northward via Yanmen, exit Yanmen Pass, enter Shuozhou, and then enter the area where the East Turks are located.After the team entered Hedong Road, their speed slowed down slightly.
The weather is also well into July.
Although the weather is still hot in July, it is much cooler at night.
Du Qi, Changsun Shunde and his party are still in Puzhou, which is the southernmost point of Hedong Road.Puzhou is far away from Daizhou, so it is not considered a border, but the territory is quite prosperous.
Because they had been on their way, in the evening, there was no village to stay overnight, so at night, the group found a ruined temple to stay overnight.The accompanying soldiers stood guard outside.
Du Qi and Changsun Shunde rested in the ruined temple.
When Du Qi rested, he saw that Liu Jian was already busy.Instead of cooking at night, he met a village on the way. Liu Jian bought two chickens and prepared to cook beggar's chicken at night.
Today's Liu Jian's standard is excellent.
In his carriage, all kinds of spices for cooking are also available.The beggar chicken he made tasted extremely good.
Du Qi felt normal after eating, but Chang Sun Shunde had never eaten Liu Jian's dishes.After eating Beggar Chicken, the eldest Sun Shunde's face was full of surprise, and he exclaimed: "It's delicious, it's really delicious!"
“It was so delicious!”
As the eldest Sun Shunde spoke, he swallowed quickly.
Those eyes were full of joy.
The taste was so good that Changsun Shunde tasted it very comfortably. When he was full, he burped and stroked his round belly with a satisfied expression on his face.
