First Minister of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 439
...

Li Yuan listened carefully, then slightly nodded and sighed: "You have been fighting for many years, the conditions are difficult, it is really hard for you." He reached out to take the chicken leg, only to see the golden color and the delicious fragrance.

Seeing this, Yuan Ji hurriedly said, "Aye, let the waiter try it first."

Li Shimin's face immediately changed when he heard the words, "Silang, what do you mean by that?"

"Okay, will Erlang still harm me?" Li Yuan glared at Li Yuanji.

Seeing this, Li Shimin directly tore off a piece of chicken, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it deliciously, and gave Li Yuanji a dissatisfied look.

"Erlang has a heart." Li Yuan ate the delicious chicken drumsticks and praised him, feeling very relieved.

It's really a good story for a dignified prince to make a muddy meal for his old father. He is so filial.

The remaining few chickens and some rabbits were shared among the people.

Duan Lun's mouth was full of greasy food, "It's really a special flavor to eat the delicious food made by myself at this outdoor gathering."

Indignant, Chai Shao reached out and snatched the chicken wings from his hand, "You obviously didn't do anything."

Duan Lun has a generous temperament, and he is not angry. He just smiled and turned to look at Li Zhiyun beside him.

"King Chu, you probably won't be able to eat so much, come here, brother-in-law will help you." He snatched the chicken leg from Li Zhiyun's hand while he was not paying attention, which made Li Zhiyun stare blankly

Everyone laughed when they saw this.

Li Yuan was very happy when he saw it. He is rarely so happy. Everyone here is either his son or his son-in-law. Most wanted scene.

After eating and drinking enough, Li Yuanji said directly: "Second brother, you didn't draw your bow just now, come, let me compare with you to see if your archery has deteriorated."

Li Shimin frowned, and said amusedly: "When did Shiro dare to compete with me in archery? Forgot to cry when I lost the competition when I was a child?"

Li Yuanji blushed, "That was when I was a child, now that I have improved in archery, I may not lose to you."

Li Jiancheng said from the side: "We brothers haven't hunted together for many years, Aye, why don't you come out with a lottery, how about we brothers compete together?"

Li Yuan was in high spirits, and he was very excited when he went hunting just now, he was very happy when he heard that, he took off a jade pendant from his waist, "The winner will get this jade".

Li Yuanji grinned happily, quickly bowed to thank him, and then looked at Li Shimin triumphantly, "Second brother, I won't hold back."

Seeing Li Yuanji's excited appearance, Gao Chong narrowed his eyes. He always felt that something was wrong. This scene seemed to have some impressions.

Li Shimin's expression was calm, he didn't want to pay attention to Li Yuanji, but Li Yuan was in high spirits now, he couldn't refuse, nodded and said with a smile: "Then if you lose, don't cry anymore."

Li Yuanji clenched his fists tightly when he heard this, turned around and mounted his horse with a snort, gritted his teeth and said, "I won't lose."

Seeing this, Li Yuan twisted his beard and said with a smile: "Silang is not a child anymore, how can he cry, Erlang don't want to make fun of him."

"Even if he's not a kid, he's still my younger brother," Li Shimin said with a smile, "Si Lang is competitive, so I have to grind him out."

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Yuan was very happy. After all, as an elder brother, Li Shimin's words represented his concern for his younger brother.

The corner of Li Jiancheng's mouth twitched.

Li Shimin was about to get on his horse, but Li Jiancheng stepped forward to stop him, "Erlang, I recently got a new BMW, which is very strong, but this horse has a bit of a temper, and I can't tame it. I know you are excellent at riding, do you want to try it?" ".

Li Shimin was startled when he heard the words, waved his hands and said with a smile: "The elder brother is not inferior to me in riding and shooting, and you are hard to tame. The younger brother is the same, let's forget it."

While talking, the subordinates of the Eastern Palace had already brought the tall and vigorous horse. Li Shimin loved war horses, and he could tell at a glance that this was a top-quality BMW, but the horse kept snorting and hoofed. Planing the ground does look rebellious.

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Jiancheng looked at Li Yuanji, who was not far away, who was showing off his might, and said directly: "I heard that your Luo Renyu died heroically in Mingshui. Although your current horse is handsome, it is still not as good as Shiro's." Horse from the Western Regions, let’s replace it with this horse, otherwise it will not look good if you lose to Shiro.”

Li Shimin laughed loudly when he heard the words, "If Shiro wins, it means that he has made progress, and I am too happy to be happy."

Li Yuan, who was getting on his horse, was very satisfied when he heard this, and said with a smile to Yuwen Shiji beside him: "Erlang really has the demeanor of an elder brother."

Yuwen Shiji nodded and smiled and said, "Elder Brother Shanggong and Brother Xiayou, king of Qin, it's rare."

Li Yuan was even happier after hearing this, and raised his head and shouted: "What are you still doing there? See, Shiro has already gained something."

After finishing speaking, Li Yuanji rode over with a rabbit in his hand, and stood in front of Li Shimin a few steps, "Second brother, why are you still dawdling? The elder brother just gave you a horse. Why don't you dare to ride it?"

Li Shimin raised his brows and said with a smile: "The method of aggressive generals? Then I decided to accept it. I want to see what kind of strong horse it is."

"Erlang is really brave." Li Jiancheng laughed and handed over the reins, and Li Shimin got on his horse.

Gao Chong felt that something was wrong, he had probably guessed the reason, and followed immediately.

"Your Majesty, this horse's eyes are red and it keeps kicking its hooves. I'm afraid it may be dangerous."

"Gao Youzhi, since it's a fierce horse, it must have some temper." Li Yuanji scolded, "Do you think King Qin can't be tamed?"

Gao Chong's eyes flashed sternly when he heard the words, Li Shimin stretched out his hand to comfort him: "It's okay, it's just a strong horse."

Seeing this, Li Yuanji gave a thumbs up, "Second brother is a good man, come here, come and compare."

"My lord, you control the speed of the horse, and I will follow closely. If there is an emergency, pay attention to cooperate." Gao Chong led the horse to his side and said in a low voice.

Li Shimin nodded silently.

The sound of the drum sounded, and the imperial army drove their prey east and west. Li Shimin fired his bow from left to right, and hit seven or eight out of ten arrows.

Li Yuan saw it from a distance and praised it loudly, and Li Jiancheng also shouted loudly, "Erlang is good at it."

Li Yuanji didn't think he was angry when he saw this, he grinned and shouted: "Second brother is amazing, let's go shoot again."

As soon as the words fell, Li Yuanji rode his horse and rushed out. Li Shimin's expression was calm, and he rushed out with his horse. It was extremely difficult to ride and shoot.

Just after running not far away, the horse was jumping up and down and neighing non-stop. Li Shimin's legs clamped tightly around the horse's belly, holding on to the rein tightly, but the horse was still kicking hard.

Seeing Gao Chong riding his horse to the left and right, he looked worried.

Li Shimin laughed, "It's okay, let me subdue this beast." His legs were exerted instantly, and Li Shimin adjusted his body as the fierce horse jumped up and down, trying to stabilize his figure, and suddenly swung an arrow on the horse's head. The pole was pulled off, and Lie Ma seemed to restrain himself under the pain.

"Your Majesty has great skills", Gao Chong praised loudly, and the surrounding Chai Shao and others also praised it when they saw this, taming a fierce horse, this is the skill of a real man.
