This prince, it doesn't matter if you don't do it!

After hearing Li Tai's words, Changsun Chong understood instantly.

This is looking for Yao Da.

In fact, before setting off, both Changsun Chong and Li Chengqian asked Yao Da his opinion on whether he should return to Chang'an this time.

He is different from others. Chang'an seems to have no good memories for him.

Of course, they are also worried that this guy will do something outrageous. Don't forget what will happen to his family in the end.

However, Yao Da rejected the proposal at the time, and Li Chengqian and Changsun Chong said no more.

Worry is just worry. Besides, with the security force around Li Er, Yao Da can't really do much. Of course, there are many more reasons.

After all, today's Yao Da is not alone at all. He has a group of brothers from the Chang Ming Army, and Yao Er's younger brothers and sisters who are not like relatives but are better than relatives. Besides, the instigator back then was also solved by him.

Most of the resentment has long since dissipated.

But if we really talk about the main reason, it is that Queen Changsun is still alive.

Since the great changes in Yao Da's family, the person he is most grateful to is his aunt, which is why Changsun Chong and Li Chengqian dared to let him come.

Even though Empress Changsun is a female figure, she seems to have done nothing, but she is really popular.

"I was bragging to Uncle Sun Yu from behind just now. Where is he now?" Chang Sun Chong said pretending to be confused.

In fact, he knew that Yao Da did not follow him, and those who followed him now were all nobles from Chang'an.

Yao Da felt that his status was not enough, so he did not come to join in the fun. At this moment, most likely, Yao Da, Shusun Yu and others were behind and doing their duties faithfully.

When Li Tai heard what Changsun Chong said, he immediately understood and said with a smile: "Then I will go and find it myself. My mother specifically told me before I came here."

During the year he stayed in Riyue Mountain, he became very familiar with these guys, and he often went to the Changming Army to play with them. He really had no airs in front of them.

Of course, Li Tai himself probably knows whether this pretense is a cover-up or something else.

When Li Zhi and others heard this, they also laughed and said: "Yes, yes, I have never seen that cousin."

When he said this, everyone laughed.

Immediately they walked together towards the direction where the delegation would stay.

In fact, everyone was relieved. Yao Da's identity was too sensitive, and they were also worried that Li Erqiu would settle the score later.

However, given what Empress Changsun said, it is estimated that Li Er would not specifically target Yao Da.

Walking among the crowd, Wang Dequan asked in a low voice: "That person's identity is so sensitive, why not let him stay in Riyue Mountain?"

He was a little confused. What Chang Sun Chong said might not work, but if His Highness opened his mouth, Yao Da would not refuse.

"It's also a kind of test." Changsun Chong said helplessly, "But don't worry too much. Even if my aunt doesn't say anything, if something unpredictable happens, His Highness will also arrange an escape route for him."

As he said this, he looked at Cheng Chuliang and Fang Yiai, feeling quite helpless in his heart.

The confidence for this mission to the Tang Dynasty was indeed sufficient.

Even if they are taken individually, they are nothing, but with so many people together, the power woven behind them is definitely something that no one dares to underestimate.

Even the emperor of the Tang Dynasty!
Xue Rengui, who was directing a group of soldiers to help the delegation settle down, was stunned when he saw so many people walking towards him. He heard Fang Yiai from the opposite side shouting: "Where's Yao Da? His mother." Yes, come out quickly, why are you lingering like a bitch?"

Yao Da was also a little stunned. Hearing this, he looked at Xue Rengui and saw Xue Rengui nodded before he walked out and happened to bump into Li Tai and others who were coming towards him.

"I've met my cousin." Li Tai bowed and saluted.

Behind him, Li Zhi, Chengyang, Yuzhang, even the youngest Xincheng and others saluted: "I've met my cousin."

For a moment, Yao Da was a little confused. He knew who these people were and what their relationship was to him, but he just felt that it was not true.

"What are you doing standing still? Your brothers and sisters are saluting you, and you haven't ordered any souvenirs yet?" Cheng Chuliang immediately shouted.

They actually knew and understood that this was a kind of protection given by Queen Changsun to Yao Da.

As their own brothers, of course they are happy for Yao Da.

Don’t forget, after Changsun Anye and Li Xiaochang rebelled in the first year of Zhenguan, although Changsun Queen was the reason, Changsun Anye’s family escaped death and moved to Xun (xi) Prefecture (later Xichang is also Daliang Mountain), but in the end the whole family Although Yao Da later confirmed that his entire family was massacred by Yin Hongzhi, the sea arrest document issued that year has not been withdrawn until now.

In other words, Yao Da is still a wanted fugitive in Datang...

However, Yao Da was a little confused at this moment. He didn't bring any souvenirs, and he was a little at a loss for a while.

At this moment, Fang Yiai shouted: "Oh my God, you are so excited, aren't you? I brought it for you."

With that said, Fang Yiai handed Yao Da a cloth bag. Yao Da didn't know what his brother meant. He immediately rummaged through the cloth bag, picked out a few furry stuffed animals and gave them to a few people in Xincheng. .

At this moment, he actually enjoyed it quite a bit.

The word "family" is too unfamiliar to him, and he is too longing for it.

"These puppets are really not suitable for His Royal Highness Prince Jin." Yao Da said, touched in his arms, and actually took out a dagger inlaid with gems, handed it to Li Zhi, and said with a smile, "This is a trophy from the previous suppression of the Western Turkic rebellion. It is suitable for His Highness the King of Jin."

He liked this dagger quite a lot, otherwise he wouldn't have kept it with him, so he gave it away as soon as he got excited.

Li Zhi looked at the dagger and felt happy. Boys like to dance with guns and sticks. Of course, it doesn't matter what they are to him. He still has this kind of education.

Looking back at Li Tai, Yao Da felt helpless, and finally had to take off the scimitar from his waist and said: "Although this knife is not a treasure, it is also my first trophy, and it has followed me into battle to kill enemies for a long time. , I hope the King of Yue will not dislike you."

"How can you dislike it?" Li Tai took the knife without being polite at all. He actually knew that the Ming Dynasty was not short of weapons, and this knife was not a high-quality one. If it was really precious, it would be a right one. The meaning of Yao Da is different.

On the other side, Li Jingren didn't know when he touched Fang Yiai's side, and said in an unhappy tone: "You kid, did you give away my things?"

"Ah, that's yours, I thought it was mine?" Fang Yiai said, pretending to be surprised.

Li Jingren was angry, but there was nothing he could do about Fang Yiai. Seeing him like this, Fang Yiai smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, it's all my brothers. You can't see your brothers embarrassed, right?"

"Hmph!" He snorted coldly, and Li Jingren didn't say anything. He actually didn't mind about this matter. The key point is why does your second-in-law housemate use my things as a favor?

Of course, they wouldn't fall out over this matter. They were all stirring up trouble in the same pot, so that wouldn't be the case.

This night, it was quite lively outside Jingyang City.

On the other side, Chang'an City was actually not inferior. I don't know how many fast horses carried the news back overnight.

Although there is a curfew, does it matter to people like them?

In any era, privileged classes always exist.

The next day, early in the morning, the entire city of Chang'an seemed to be waiting for something.

In particular, the tea shops and taverns along Zhuque Street were filled up early in the morning by the young princes and young marquises of various noble families. Not only them, but also the young princes of various noble families.

Early in the morning, officials from the Ministry of Rites, headed by Hejian County Prince Li Xiaogong, led a huge team out of the city and went straight to Shiliting.

"What's going on today?" Outside a restaurant, a waiter who had just finished his work asked in confusion.

The restaurant owner smiled and said: "The Ming Dynasty envoy is here, otherwise the prince will bring officials from the Ministry of Rites out of the city to welcome him?"

They had actually heard about the Ming Dynasty's envoy's arrival in Beijing, but they didn't know the specific time, but today's news was already very revealing.

……

In Shiliting, the old god Li Xiaogong was sitting there waiting for the Ming Dynasty's envoy.

As a member of the Tang clan, he has no pressure at all.

So it's extremely relaxed now.

For people like them, as long as they figure out their position, their life really shouldn't be too comfortable.

"Your Majesty, the envoy has arrived." At this moment, a soldier walked in and whispered.

Hearing this, Li Xiaogong nodded and walked out of the pavilion.

A group of officials from the Ministry of Rites also hurriedly followed.

Of course, they are only outside the pavilion and will not go out to greet them. Being here is already the highest level.

If this was not the first time that the Ming Dynasty officially sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty, and knowing that the Ming Dynasty's envoys were huge, they would not even come here to welcome them.

"The envoy of the Ming Dynasty, the Minister of Rites, Changsun Chong, have met the princes of Hejian County in the Tang Dynasty and..." As soon as Changsun Chong arrived, he got off his horse and bowed to salute.

The rest of the people also followed suit.

"Prince of Hejian County of the Tang Dynasty, Minister of Rites..." After some polite remarks, the two countries began the formal handover work.

This work is more complicated.

Ceremonial and military.

There's not much to say about etiquette, just follow the rules, but military matters are a bit troublesome.

After all, the Ming Dynasty sent an entire Changming Army to escort the mission. When they arrived at the boundaries of Chang'an City, how to place this army became the key to the problem.

Of course, we have to say here how proud Li Er is.Logically speaking, it is impossible for this Chang Ming army to enter Chang'an City.

It's not that Datang is afraid of anything, but the rules.

But Li Er was against all opinions. Now that they are here, how can they not let them see the prosperity of Chang'an City?

For this reason, he also changed Xue Wanche to the right-guard general. At this moment, Xue Wanche and his [-] soldiers were in charge of security matters after handing over to Xue Rengui.

In this regard, neither Changsun Chong nor Xue Rengui and others had any objections, but they were just a little surprised.

After everything was handed over, someone reported to Li Xiaogong and Changsun Chong respectively, and the two glanced at each other in unison.

Not long after, the mission set off again, approaching Chang'an City.

But this time, the team was larger.

"You brat, how many years have you not seen me, and you're actually on par with me?" Li Xiaogong joked on the way with a smile.

Changsun Chong shook his head humbly and said, "Your Majesty actually knows what's going on, so don't make fun of me."

Beside them, Li Tai looked back at a carriage from time to time and asked curiously: "Cousin, who is in that carriage?"

He had noticed it since last night, but was too embarrassed to open the carriage and take a look.

Hearing this, Changsun Chong looked back and said with a smile: "It's that boy Wei Shuyu. He may have caught the cold and has been lying down for the past two days. But don't worry, the accompanying team doctor has looked at it and it's nothing serious. hinder."

"He's back too?" Li Xiaogong was a little surprised when he heard this. Although there were many noble sons who came back this time, except for Changsun Chong, almost all of them were from the Changming Army. Even people like Gao Chunxing and Xiao Yue He didn't even come back. I didn't expect this guy to come back.

"I heard that Wei Gong was not in good health in the past two years, so His Highness asked him to come back and take a look. After all, unlike us, he is the only child in the family." Changsun Chong explained.

At this moment, he was still in a very excited mood. Not only him, but also people like Cheng Chuliang and Fang Yiai were like this. They were timid about being close to home.

They didn't understand this sentence before, but after they really left Chang'an, they finally had their own understanding.

They chatted without a word, and after a while, everyone came under the city gate.

Because they knew in advance the size of the mission, the city gate had been temporarily closed today. Looking at the familiar Chang'an City, Chang Sun Chong and others could not suppress their excitement.

"Finally back!" Fang Yiai shouted immediately.

The last time he came back, it was sneaky, but this time, he came back openly.

The rest of the people are actually the same.

The most special one is probably Yao Da.

Looking at the familiar word Chang'an, he had a lot of thoughts in his mind.

Back, yes, back...

"Enter the city!" As Li Xiaogong shouted, everyone calmed down their emotions and rushed in.

After entering the city gate, there were more people on both sides of the street. Naturally, they were not here to greet anyone, they were just curious.

For a moment, people on both sides of the street started talking when they saw the huge mission.

Needless to say, Changsun Chong and others were filled with joy as they listened to their discussion.

This is a sense of accomplishment that the family could not bring them before!

Li Tai and Li Zhi, who were among the envoys, were also very happy. After all, they had never seen such a scene before.

Of course, there are many explanations as to why Li Tai was among them.

When the front of the mission turned into Zhuque Street, there was still a long queue slowly entering the city at the city gate, which made the onlookers exclaim.

"How many people are there in this mission?"

The yamen officer responsible for maintaining order said: "Wait a minute. I heard that the Ming Dynasty's envoys, numbering tens of thousands of people, were walking on the road for dozens of miles. This is Chang'an City. In other countries, which city? Can we receive such a large delegation?”

"That's true." When he said this, some people immediately laughed and said, "Although they stretch for dozens of miles on the road, they are only tens of thousands of missions, and they are all blocked in Zhuque Street."

This is their pride as people of the Tang Dynasty.

Zhuque Street is about ten feet wide and more than ten miles long. How can a small number of diplomatic missions not be able to fit in?

Of course, saying this, they were also surprised by such a huge delegation.

On Zhuque Street, Cheng Chumo looked at his brother with envy.

Just like him, there are the Changsun family, Li Jing family, Cheng Yaojin family, Li Daozong family, and at this moment, the second generation ancestors of the Xungui family all over Chang'an are all looking for their familiar figures in the mission.

"That's my second brother Fang Yiai..." shouted a young man who looked a lot like Fang Yiai.

"That's my brother!"

……

In fact, there was no need for them to shout. Guys like Fang Yiai were searching for their brothers in the crowd. Of course, there were no traces on their faces.

This is a critical moment, but you have to pretend. If you really make a fool of yourself, you won't come back to show off, but you will be embarrassed.

Among the crowd, there were also people from Cui and Lu mansions.

Their eyes are different from others.

The common people stared at the rare objects on each carriage, while the noble family stared at their brothers, and they stared at the most inconspicuous people in the mission.

In such a huge mission, with so many people, are there really ordinary people?

This is a mission!

Do you really think that just adding up the number will be enough?

Of course, there were also Li Er's secret agents in the crowd, and their eyes were even more different. They were all staring at the Changming Army who were young but had firm eyes.

This army, although it has not been in existence for a long time, has created the most murderous war in recent decades. Who dares to underestimate it?

"Chang'an City has changed." In the team, Yao Da shook his head and said to Shusun Yu beside him.

Shusun Yu ignored him. He had only been here once, and he came in in the dark. What the hell did he know if he didn't change?
He was also looking around at the moment. As a professional warmonger, he was thinking about how to capture Chang'an City in the fastest and most efficient way. After thinking for a long time, he said: "It's a bit difficult..."

Yao Da didn't understand what he was talking about. He was still immersed in his own memories and didn't know what he saw. He said to Yao Er on the other side: "Do you still remember that place? Did we meet there for the first time? To His Highness?"

Yao Er turned his head and glanced, nodded, and said: "Yes, that's right there. It's been so many years. Over the years, I've been thinking, why did we go to Jingyang back then?"

Hearing his words, Yao Er was stunned.

He also remembered and looked again at the place where they first met Li Chengqian.

Is everything really a coincidence?
On the other side of the team, Xue Wanche and Xue Rengui walked side by side.

Maybe because they have the same surname, the two of them are quite familiar with each other.

As they were both military commanders, they naturally preferred to look at each other and his subordinates.

But just by looking at it like this, Xue Wanche also understood why the Changming Army under Xue Rengui became famous in one battle.

At that moment, he also smiled and said: "General Xue's reputation for commanding the army is indeed well-deserved. If nothing else, just for his ability to train soldiers, General Xue is among the best among the people I know."

As a famous general in the early Tang Dynasty, the quality of an army can be seen in many details.

Xue Rengui smiled when he heard this: "General Xue said something serious. This boy is just a rough and tumble man from the countryside. He doesn't know how to train soldiers. He just learned from the family of the captains in the army."

When they met for the first time, even if they were sympathetic, Xue Rengui would not reveal his true identity.

Besides, the Changming Army's training, haha, really didn't have much to do with him. In the final analysis, it was just a supervision.

"General Xue is very polite." Xue Wanche said, "After all the handover of the mission is completed, I will have a banquet in the army for General Xue and all the officers and men of the Changming Army! They are all in the army, and there are not so many empty heads. s things."

His mission is to entertain the Chang Ming army. Of course, the hospitality is only superficial.

Xue Rengui smiled and said: "Since General Xue's kindness is hard to refuse, I don't dare to offend the general's kindness."

It was just a test. They also had the intention to test the reality of the Tang army.

No one can tell what the future will look like.

It is also necessary to make some preparations in advance.

Not to mention, the tens of thousands of envoys now really have tens of thousands of ideas.

Even the rest of the mission who kept silent were extremely quick-thinking.

Of course, there are also people who are confused by such a prosperous Chang'an city...

Come on, scold me to relax your muscles and bones. There are too few comments. I'm here to stimulate you!
