The Heavens Begin with Detective Di Renjie

Chapter 301 Returning to the Ranch
Chang'an, Tiance Mansion
dong dong dong-

Shen Youzhi who was meditating was disturbed by a knock on the door, and slowly opened his eyes.

"Mr. Shen, His Highness King Qin invites you to go to the inner hall to discuss matters."

The voice of the chief executive of the palace came clearly into the room.

Hearing that Li Shimin wanted to see him, Shen Youzhi instantly guessed the other party's purpose——

Since Yang Gong's treasure house was taken out, Li Shimin's work became more and more busy.

Not only have to deal with tedious daily affairs, but also set aside time to recruit new troops and prepare food and grass, so as to make complete preparations for the eastward march to Luoyang.

Now that he is free to look for him, it means that the preparatory work has been almost completed, and only the last link is missing - the war horse.

For ancient wars, the role of war horses is infinite. A cavalry with high mobility can often turn the tide of battle at critical moments.

Even in modern times, cavalry still has outstanding tactical value.

If the Li family wants to build a new army, war horses are naturally indispensable.

But this thing is not something that can be bought casually with money, there must be a stable and reliable source of supply.

Analyzing along this line of thought, it is not difficult to figure out where Li Shimin will turn his attention - Pegasus Ranch.

Moreover, in the original book, the Li Clan did plan to form an alliance with the Pegasus Ranch, and even sent Li Xiuning to the ranch to discuss with Shang Xiuxun in person.

Now that they have plans to build a new army, the Li Clan's need for war horses is naturally more urgent, and the original plan will naturally be put on the agenda sooner.

It's complicated to say, but the moment Shen Youzhi got up, he had already analyzed the causal logic clearly, without any delay in opening the door to welcome guests.

"Let's go!" Shen Youzhi said slowly with a calm expression.

The manager nodded respectfully, and only felt that he was leading the way.

Yeting Palace, inner hall
Before Shen Youzhi entered the hall, Li Shimin greeted him and personally led him into the hall.

No force would dare to underestimate a great master.

As soon as he entered the palace, Shen Youzhi saw a tall woman with a pretty face.

I saw that he was wearing a beard hat, which was round like a bowl, surrounded by silk nets, and embellished with pearls and emeralds on the hat. It was unique in style, gorgeous and full of mysterious beauty.

The clothes she wore were completely different from Zhong Yuan's wide-breasted and long-sleeved clothes, with large lapels and narrow-sleeved clothes, which not only facilitated movement, but also highlighted the exquisite curves of her figure.

Apart from Li Shimin's confidantes, the only ones who are qualified to sit in this inner hall are his family members.

And this woman in Hu Feng's attire was without a doubt his own sister - Li Xiuning.

As soon as they met, before Li Shimin's introduction, Li Xiuning greeted Shen Youzhi quite openly and generously.

"Xiu Ning met Mr. Shen." Li Xiu Ning slightly bowed her knees and saluted

"So it's the princess, I've admired him for a long time." Shen Youzhi also nodded in return.

Seeing this, Li Shimin saved the introduction, and directly said to Shen Youzhi:

"I invite you here this time because I want to ask you to do something."

"Now I, the Li Clan, already have the weapons and money to expand the new army, but we lack strong horses."

"That's why I would like to trouble my husband to take a walk with my sister and go to the Pegasus Ranch to contact the owner of the mall."

Having said that, he sighed again, and explained helplessly:
"I shouldn't bother you with such a trivial matter."

"But now Li Clan's reputation is too high, like a fire cooking oil, all forces are watching our every move."

"For the safety of this trip, I have to ask my husband to take care of my sister."

Long before he knew the whereabouts of Duke Yang's treasure house, and even before Shen Youzhi came, he had already planned to form an alliance with the Pegasus Ranch.

The contact persons selected at that time were Li Xiuning and Chai Shao.

Because the Li Clan was still dormant at that time and was not as eye-catching as it is now, so there was no need to worry about being targeted.

But now the situation is changing rapidly, Li Shimin naturally can't wait for the sword, and must make appropriate adjustments in time.

"So that's the case." Shen Youzhi pretended to be stunned, and replied softly: "Simply Shen is fine, so let's go with the princess."

Taking this opportunity, I can also meet with Lu Miaozi and see how much he has completed the tasks he assigned.

"Thank you sir!" Li Shimin immediately cupped his fists in thanks.

With a grand master accompanying them, even if other forces intend to sabotage this alliance, they probably would not dare to act rashly.

Li Xiuning was also quite happy, and said softly:
"With Mr. Shen, the great master, taking care of me, second brother, you don't have to worry about my safety anymore, right?"

Although Li Shimin was relieved a lot, he still solemnly warned:

"This trip is related to the plan to go east to Luoyang, so we must proceed with caution."

"Even if the business owner doesn't want to form an alliance, don't offend her."

In troubled times, even if you can't make one more friend, it's better not to make one more enemy.

Especially now, the Li family is already the focus of attention, everything must be stable, and no one can find a flaw.

"Second brother, don't worry, Xiuning must remember!" Li Xiuning also nodded solemnly.

Although she is a woman, she never gives way to men. She has a lot of knowledge in both martial arts and the art of war. Naturally, she knows that what she is going to do is related to the future of the Li family.

"Since that's the case, I'll leave everything to Mr. Shen!" Li Shimin clasped his fists again.

"En." Shen Youzhi nodded slightly.

In the afternoon of that day, Li Shimin arranged everything properly, then personally sent Li Xiuning and Shen You to the carriage, and watched their carriage leave Chang'an.

The Pegasus Ranch is located in Jingling, thousands of miles away from Chang'an, not to mention the high mountains and rivers, and there are many other tyrants' sites in the middle.

Even so, Shen Youzhi and Li Xiuning did not encounter any obstacles during their trip.

Even after passing through the sphere of influence of other heroes, those people turned a blind eye and let them go by default.

"Thanks to Mr. Shen, this trip can be so smooth."

On top of the red-maned horse, the heroic Li Xiuning said loudly.

Since leaving Chang'an, they no longer took a carriage, but rode horses instead.

This not only facilitates concealment, but also speeds up travel.

After nearly ten days of running around, Jingling County is already within sight.

Seeing that the destination was about to arrive, Li Xiuning's spirit gradually relaxed.

"Xiu Ning has a question. I wonder if Mr. Shen is willing to answer it?"

Li Xiuning asked in a delicate voice while pressing the bridle and walking slowly.

"Princess, please tell me."

Shen Youzhi, who was also sitting on a tall horse, responded casually.

"I don't know how old Mr. Shen is? Why doesn't he look much older than Xiuning?"

Li Xiuning finally asked the question that had been pondering in her heart for a long time.

Ever since she met Shen Youzhi in Tiance Mansion that day, she had this doubt.

She was really surprised that the other party looked so young, but he was already a master of martial arts who had reached the pinnacle.

Although martial arts practiced to a high level does have the effect of keeping the face, but it is the first time Li Xiuning has seen someone like Shen Youzhi who has not aged at all.

"How old are you?"

Shen Youzhi pondered for a long time, but finally shook his head.

"Can not remember."

This is indeed the truth, and he doesn't know when his age should start to be counted.

If you add up all the time you have been alive, it is at least a few hundred years old.

Although she didn't get a definite answer, Li Xiuning was not disappointed, instead she joked and said softly:

"It turns out that a great master like Mr. will forget things!"

Shen Youzhi also smiled slightly, but did not answer.

In this relaxed atmosphere, the two soon arrived at Pegasus City and entered the territory of Pegasus Ranch.

　Note:

　　According to literature records, Princess Pingyang in history should be Li Shimin's sister.

　　But still the same sentence, doujin uses the original novel as a blueprint, don't compare it to history!Don't look at history!Don't look at history! !
