Man Tanghong

Chapter 398

"Your Highness, my Highness has been waiting for you for a long time."

Li Yuanji hadn't been on the sidelines for long, when Duan Zhixuan, the commander of the Xuanjia Army next to Li Shimin, quietly appeared beside him, talking in a low voice.

Duan Zhixuan is a strong man who is half a head taller than ordinary people. He is tall and burly, like an iron tower. He is wearing a tight black military uniform. He can clearly see the outline of muscles full of strength. His military uniform was like a tights on him.

However, the reason why Duan Zhixuan dressed like this was not to show off his muscles, nor to satisfy some perverted hobby deep in his heart, but to wear the heavy armor uniformly equipped by the Xuanjia Army.

The armor equipped by the Xuanjia Army is not only a single armor, but also various armors and armors equipped to meet different needs.

For example, when going into battle in full armor, in order to prevent damage to the body from damage to the armor, a close-fitting military uniform will be worn inside the armor.

For example, when marching daily, in order to meet the needs of light vehicles and improve mobility, they wear cloth armor.

Another example is when temporarily acting as a light cavalry, in order to improve mobility and have a certain defensive power, they will wear a leather armor.

In short, the Xuanjia Army has different equipment and configurations when facing different needs.

This is also the reason why the Xuanjia Army can follow Li Shimin no matter what the occasion.

This is also one of the reasons why the Xuanjia Army can repeatedly make great achievements on the battlefield.

Among the many equipment of the Xuanjia Army, the heavy armor is undoubtedly the most affordable armor, and it is also the armor that can improve them the most.

Therefore, in order to wear heavy armor anytime and anywhere conveniently, in order to adapt to wearing heavy armor for a long time to fight, most of the officers and soldiers of the Xuanjia Army will also wear a corseted military uniform in their spare time, and some who are strict with themselves will also carry their own weight. .

Under this kind of strict self-requirement, it is difficult for the Xuanjia Army to be strong in combat effectiveness, and it is also difficult for the Xuanjia Army to become a famous and powerful army in the world.

Li Yuanji admired Xuanjiajun's habit of strict self-demand, but he didn't appreciate Duan Zhixuan very much.

Because when this guy was talking, he had no emotion at all, no expression at all, just like a piece of wood.

If it weren't for the heat coming out of this guy's nostrils from time to time, Li Yuanji would even suspect that this guy is a zombie.

The reason why people are called people is because they have seven emotions and six desires.

If a person does not have the seven emotions and six desires, no matter how capable he is, he cannot be regarded as a human being.

Those with noble virtues will be called immortals and holy Buddhas.

Those with low morals will be called demons and ghosts.

All in all, definitely wouldn't be called human.

There is no doubt that Duan Zhixuan will not be able to become a god or a holy Buddha, so he is obviously developing towards demons and ghosts.

Li Yuanji can't appreciate anyone who develops in this direction.

Li Yuanji didn't like talking to this kind of people either, so he just ordered, "Lead the way."

Duan Zhixuan saluted abruptly, and led Li Yuanji to the high platform.

The high platform is built with a mixture of earth bricks.

The base is poured and rammed with the kind of mixed soil used to build city walls.

On the base, a brick platform about three feet high was built with blue bricks.

The brick platform is not big, only has a radius of three feet.

After planting all kinds of flags, setting up desks that can only be done by people with status, and surrounding it with three cloth walls, there is not much free space.

Li Shimin was sitting in front of a table in the middle of the brick platform. On the table were two plates of shabby vegetables, a lot of meat, and a jar of warming wine.

Qu Tutong and Changsun Wuji sat on both sides, while Yu Zhining and Han Liang waited on them.

When Li Yuanji got on the brick platform, Li Shimin happily patted the seat beside him, and said with a smile: "Yuanji, come and sit quickly, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Li Shimin seemed to be driving a lot faster than before, presumably because he won the first place in the competition of the prey they got, so he was very happy.

Li Yuanji was not polite either, he cupped his hands at Li Shimin, called 'Second Brother', then walked over to Li Shimin and sat down beside him.

Qu Tutong, Changsun Wuji, Yu Zhining, Han Liang and others all saluted Li Yuanji.

Li Yuanji waved his hand, "No need to be polite."

Qu Tutong and the others sat down again.

After Qu Tutong and others sat down, Ren Gui, Quan Xu, Ling Jing and others saluted Li Shimin together.

When Li Shimin saw Ren Gui and Quan Xu, he was obviously stunned for a moment, a strange look flashed in his eyes, and then he was not in a hurry to get Ren Gui, Quan Xu, Ling Jing and others to get up, but smiled and said to Li Yuanji: " Yuanji, why don't you introduce me?"

Li Yuanji glanced at Li Shimin and rolled his eyes in his heart.

He didn't believe that Li Shimin didn't know Ren Gui and Quan Xu.

However, since Li Shimin asked, he had to introduce.

Immediately, Li Yuanji introduced to Ren Gui and Quan Xu with his hands as palms: "This is Mr. Ren Wei, who previously served as the general manager in Xuzhou, and now serves as the right servant of Daxingtai, Hebei Road in my residence.

This is Quan Ziming, Duke of Qianjin County, who previously held an idle position, and now serves as the Commander of the Commander's Mansion in our residence. "

After listening to this introduction, Li Shimin looked at Ren Gui in a daze and said with emotion: "It turned out to be Guan Guogong. When I was conquering Dou Jiande and Liu Heitai, I did a lot of business with Guan Guogong.

It's just that I have been busy with the war before, so I didn't get to meet Guan Guogong.

Now that I see it, I will drink it as a cup. "

With that said, Li Shimin stood up with the wine cup in hand, first ordered someone to arrange a seat for Ren Gui, served a table of food and wine, and then brought Qu Tutong and others to toast Ren Gui.

Ren Gui accompanied Li Shimin for a drink without being overbearing, and exchanged a few words with Li Shimin.

Li Shimin kept complaining about not being able to meet Ren Gui during the battle in the past.

Ren Gui just smiled and didn't say much.

While exchanging pleasantries, Li Shimin suddenly 'remembered' that his subordinate Zhang Gongjin once served as a general under Ren Gui, and ordered someone to call Zhang Gongjin to reminisce with Ren Gui.

When Zhang Gongjin saw Ren Gui, he was actually quite embarrassed.

Because when he was a general under Ren Gui, Ren Gui treated him really well, and also intended to recommend him to Li Jiancheng.

But before Ren Gui put it into action, he met Yu Chigong and others in an operation to rescue Yu Chigong and others, and then under the introduction of Yuchi Gong and others, he joined the Tiance Mansion and betrayed Ren Gui .

So he is a traitor to Ren Gui.

He has no face to reminisce about the old days with Ren Gui.

When Ren Gui saw Zhang Gongjin, she looked calm and composed, with a calm smile on her face, and kept booing and asking about Zhang Gongjin.

Zhang Gongjin felt like sitting on pins and needles, smiled awkwardly, and replied bluntly.

"Hahaha, it seems that Gongjin is a bit reluctant to let go."

Li Shimin saw that Zhang Gongjin was getting more and more embarrassed under Ren Gui's greetings, so he laughed and helped Zhang Gongjin out of the siege.

With Li Shimin interrupting, Zhang Gongjin became more natural when facing Ren Gui.

After "taking care" of Ren Gui, Li Shimin talked to Quan Xu again, exchanged a few simple greetings, and after complimenting Quan Xu's great-grandfather, grandfather, and father, he suddenly "thought" of Quan Xu Xu's cousin Quan Hongshou is an official under him.

Immediately, they sent someone to summon Quan Hongshou and Quan Xu to reminisce about the old days.

Quan Hongshou's reputation is not as prominent as Quan Xu's, but his status under Li Shimin's hands is not low, and his status in the court is not low.

He served as Chang Shi in Li Shimin's mansion, which was the position Li Sixing had previously held in Li Yuanji's mansion, and he served as a servant minister in the imperial court, ranking among high officials.

In addition, his title also belonged to Gao Jue, who was granted the title of Duke of Tianshui County.

Although he is weaker than Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and others, no one dares to underestimate him or neglect him.

Because the same sentence may not be effective when Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and others say it in the Qin Palace, or in the court hall, but Quan Hongshou will definitely work when it is said.

When Quan Hongshou was reminiscing about the old days with Quan Xu, he was not as embarrassed as Zhang Gongjin and Ren Gui reminiscing about the past.

On the contrary, Quan Hongshou and Quan Xu got along very well.

That is, when Quan Hongshou occasionally looked at Quan Xu, there was a trace of reproach and helplessness in his eyes.

Thinking about Quan Xu's decision to join Li Yuanji's family, he didn't discuss it with Quan Hongshou, or in other words, he didn't discuss it with other members of the family.

Li Yuanji saw Quan Hongshou for the first time, and because Quan Hongshou and Quan Xu, whom he had just recruited as cousins, paid more attention to Quan Hongshou and saw Quan Hongshou's strange eyes .

It's just that Li Yuanji didn't say anything.

First of all, this kind of occasion is not suitable for saying such things.

Secondly, no matter what problem there is between Quan Hongshou and Quan Xu, it is Quan's family matter, and he is not good at meddling.

After Li Yuanji saw that Li Shimin had found "old friends" for Ren Gui and Quan Xu to reminisce about the old days, he joked to Li Shimin, "Second brother's house is really full of talents. By the way, find two people to come over with me. People are old.

I think Ling Jing is quite lonely by himself now, so why not help Ling Jing find someone old. "

Hearing this, Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and then said with a hearty smile: "Don't tell me, there is indeed a person in my house who is old with Ling Changshi."

Speaking of this, Li Shimin greeted: "Come here, please come and talk to General Cao."

As soon as Li Shimin said this.

Li Yuanji and Ling Jing raised their eyebrows.

General Cao that Li Shimin said should be Dou Yu's uncle Cao Dan.

Li Shimin called other people in the house, either by title or name, but when he called Cao Dan, he called General Cao.

I don’t know that Li Shimin didn’t trust Cao Dan, and was separated from Cao Dan, so he called Cao Dan that way. Li Shimin also recognized Cao Dan’s achievements in presenting eight seals to the Tang Dynasty, so he used this name to refer to him. Show respect for Cao Dan.

If it is the former, then it will be difficult to use Cao Dan to learn some secret news about Li Shimin in the future.

Otherwise, sooner or later, Cao Dan will be divided into five horses by Li Shimin.

If it's the latter, that's fine.
