Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

Not long after.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the hall.

A middle-aged general with a burly figure, a straight nose and a broad mouth strode into the hall, led by his personal soldiers.

"Your Highness, Su Dingfang has been brought here."

"Okay, you go down first."

Li Chengqian nodded slightly, then waved his hand and said.

Du He also turned his head and focused all his attention on Su Dingfang.

"As expected of a famous general throughout the ages, he has a good appearance and a body like a calf."

Like Xi Junmai, Su Dingfang was abandoned, but as a general with dreams, it was normal for him to train hard in the coldest and hottest days of winter.

So I've maintained a very good figure.

Su Dingfang walked to a place five steps away from Li Chengqian and stopped. He clasped his hands together and bowed deeply.

Then he said loudly with excitement: "Your Highness, thank you for giving me a chance. I will do my best to help you conquer Goguryeo!"

His voice was as loud and powerful as a bell, making Du He and Li Chengqian's eardrums buzz.

Li Chengqian dug his ear, then pointed at Du He and said, "General Su, if you want to thank someone, thank Du He. It was he who recommended you to be the deputy chief commander of the central army."

He still had doubts about Su Dingfang's ability.

Therefore, he did not treat him with the same respect and courtesy as he did to Yuchi Gong, or extend an olive branch.

Su Dingfang was not surprised because before going to the Eastern Palace, he went to meet his mentor Li Jing.

The teacher told him personally that it was Du He who asked his name personally and recommended him to the prince.

And it is an important position of deputy chief military commander.

Su Dingfang and his mentor Li Jing were both surprised by the result.

Is it okay for a General of the Central Army to serve as the deputy commander-in-chief of the army?

Su Dingfang clasped his fists towards Du He and said gratefully, "Thank you, Prince Consort Du, for your support."

His head is still dizzy, as if he was hit by a pie in the sky.

Du He waved his hand and said, "General Su, you don't have to be polite. The prince is impressed by your military talent and has full trust in you, so he entrusted you with such an important task."

Seeing that Su Dingfang was a little agitated, Du He continued.

"The East Palace is in need of major generals, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also recruiting talented people. It is a great honor to have the help of General Su now."

Having said this, Su Dingfang was no longer vague.

He knelt on one knee towards Li Chengqian, clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for not abandoning me. I am willing to serve you!"

A new emperor appoints new ministers. After being kept in the dark for so many years, Su Dingfang finally realized one truth.

If you continue to work under His Majesty, you will never have a chance to get ahead.

He must follow the future crown prince of the Tang Dynasty to have a chance to make achievements and realize his ambitions.

Moreover, the prince valued him so much that he promoted him from a small general to the deputy commander-in-chief of the army.

Faced with such great favor, how could he let the prince down?

For a full 13 years, no one knew how he spent those 13 years.

Moreover, he has not achieved anything in the past 13 years, but the prince and his wife still trust him so much.

Su Dingfang also had an impulse to die for his confidant.

Li Chengqian glanced at Du He in confusion, then frowned slightly.

I didn't expect that this bronze-skinned middle-aged general would be taken so seriously by Du He.

not simple!

Li Chengqian also put away the contempt in his heart and put on a smile.

"OK!"

"I have General Su's help, just like my father has General Li Jing's help!"

As he spoke, Li Chengqian dragged his lame leg to Su Dingfang and lifted him up.

Then Li Chengqian pointed to a cushion on one side and said, "General Su, please take a seat."

"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

Su Dingfang's face was also full of joy.

From this moment on, he, Su, will completely bid farewell to his gloomy life and usher in a bright future.

After sitting down, Du He asked curiously: "General Su, have you been in the palace all these years?"

"To reply to Prince Consort Du, I served as the Lieutenant Colonel of the Left Wuhou for seven years, and later changed to Lieutenant Colonel of the Left Guard. Calculating the time, I have been in the palace for six years."

Su Dingfang replied respectfully with a fist clasped.

He sat very straight and his expression looked a little serious.

Du He smiled and said, as if hinting at something, "It would be good to be in charge of the imperial guards. If I were assigned to guard the gate, my life would be miserable."

"Watch the gate?"

Su Ding said with a puzzled look.

It was bad enough that he had not been used for so many years. If he were sent to guard the gate, he would not want to live.

Isn’t this bullying an honest person?

On the other side, Li Chengqian was stunned, feeling as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly.

His most trusted military advisor was actually pointing fingers at him.

Will we be able to play happily in the future?

Outside the main hall.

Xi Junmai, who was standing guard on one side, twitched his mouth and a row of black lines appeared on his forehead.

"My Lord, when it comes to this heart-wrenching topic, could you please keep your voice down? I'm still standing outside."

Xi Junmai was too tired to complain in his heart.

However, Xi Junmai felt a sense of sympathy for Su Dingfang's experience.

Although his job as the gatekeeper was a bit miserable, he was only there for less than two and a half years before he was noticed by Prince Consort Du and promoted.

And this Su Dingfang was directly hidden in the dark for 13 years.

This period of time happened to be the golden age for military generals, and even with all these efforts he was not worn out. It seems that Su Dingfang was not an ordinary person.

Next to Xi Junmai, Qin Huaidao touched his elbow and whispered.

"Brother Xi, this Su Dingfang is very strong, can you beat him?"

"I don't know. I'll know after a competition."

"Brother Xi, you have to work harder on your martial arts. If you are outclassed by him, the title of the best martial artist in the East Palace will be lost."

"That's what Duke Hu reminded me of."

These two people are weird, they call each other by their own names and it doesn't affect each other at all.

Hearing the lively conversation in the hall and thinking of what Qin Huaidao said, he felt a sense of crisis.

It seems that Prince Consort Du values Su Dingfang very much.

Moreover, in the assignment of duties for the conquest of Goguryeo, Su Dingfang was superior to him.

"No, I can't let him outdo me!"

Xi Junmai's eyes were filled with a burning desire to fight.

In the main hall.

Du He, Li Chengqian and Su Dingfang had a great conversation and laughed loudly.

After this conversation, the relationship between the three of them became much closer.

Su Dingfang stood up, clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, Prince Consort Du, it is getting late now, so I will take my leave first."

"According to the order of General Hou Junji, the general commander of the army, I need to rush to Luzhou the day after tomorrow to train the soldiers of the Zhechoufu there."

"We will meet in Youzhou after the New Year."

Li Chengqian and Du He stood up together.

"General Su, take care on your journey. If you need any help, please let me know at any time."

"Thank you, Your Highness. I am leaving now."

After Su Dingfang saluted, he turned around and walked away with big strides.
