Li Shimin faked his death? Then I will be powerful enough to conquer the world!

The Xueyantuo tribe, a tribe that holds an important position in the Mobei grasslands, has always been a major threat to the Tang Dynasty's border.

After two and a half months of long and arduous march, Li Ji's army finally set foot on the endless Mobei grassland.

The vast green landscape unfolded before the soldiers' eyes. The slightest movement of the grass made it seem as if there were thousands of troops hidden within it.

The Xueyantuo tribe is here. Like a cunning pack of wolves, they hide deep in this familiar grassland.

Along the way, Li Ji's army also encountered many battles.

They dealt with a lot of small cavalry from the Xueyantuo tribe that were preparing to go south to invade the border of the Tang Dynasty. Although those cavalry were not powerful, they still caused some minor troubles to the army.

However, what annoyed Li Ji was that he could not find where the enemy's main force was.

The most difficult part of fighting on this vast grassland is not fighting the enemy face to face, but finding where their main forces are hiding in this environment that is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

The main force seemed to have disappeared in this green ocean, leaving no trace.

However, although Li Ji was annoyed, he was not worried at all. He had his own plans in mind.

The Xueyantuo tribe was not the only one familiar with the Mobei steppe.

The Turks also lived on the Mobei grasslands for generations. Li Ji learned many secrets of the grasslands and the habits of the Xueyantuo tribe from the Turks.

In addition, the army was led by Turkic cavalry led by Li Simo.

Moreover, he is not fighting alone this time.

Li Xiyu, the governor of Liangzhou, and Zhang Shigui, the commander-in-chief of Qingzhou Road, have entered from the western part of Xueyantuo. They are like two sharp knives, piercing the enemy's rear.

Zhang Jian, the governor of Yingzhou, led his own cavalry as well as cavalry from the Xi, Khitan and other tribes to advance from the eastern region. These cavalry rushed towards the enemy at lightning speed, posing a huge threat to the Xueyantuo tribe from the flank.

With such a tight net and Tang troops tightening the encirclement in all directions, Li Ji really couldn't imagine what chances the Xueyantuo tribe had of winning.

They now had no choice but to go west, like prey trapped by hunters, they could only walk towards the trap.

The Tang Dynasty's encirclement was gradually closing in on the Mobei grassland, and victory seemed to be beckoning to Li Ji's army.

However, what he was worried about now was not the Xueyantuo tribe, but the 5,000-man Jinyiwei following behind the army.

The team seemed mysterious, and the leaders were all old friends - Wei Biwu, His Majesty's personal bodyguard and the generals of the Left and Right Thousand Bull Guards.

He was wearing a brand new flying fish suit, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, and he was always alert to the situation around him.

Li Ji once asked Wei Biwu what he was doing there, but Wei Biwu just replied in a businesslike manner, with a cold face without any expression, and spoke concisely.

"I am here to protect someone under the order of His Majesty."

No matter how much Li Ji tried to get close to him, he kept his mouth shut.

During the month of marching with the army, Wei Biwu became more and more frightened the more he investigated.

His Jinyiwei team had only one strange order - to protect a personal guard of Li Ji.

When 12003 pointed at the back of the personal guard from afar, Wei Biwu felt an absurd sense of familiarity in his heart.

The back figure seemed to have magical power, which made him stunned for a moment.

"His Majesty!"

He muttered silently in his heart, that figure, that posture, they are so similar.

Not only that person resembles Your Majesty, but the two beside him, one has an upright posture, strong and powerful, with a domineering air in his every move, and the other has a burly figure, with a rough and bold face. His demeanor and temperament are simply Yuchi Jingde and Cheng Yaojin themselves.

It would be fine if only one person's back was similar, but the backs of three people were so coincidental that Wei Biwu already had an idea in his mind at this time.

But Wei Biwu did not say anything. He knew very well that this matter was of great importance and he had to be extremely cautious.

So he secretly observed for another half a month before he was sure.

That person is the deceased emperor!

Wei Biwu was shocked when he came to this conclusion, as if he was hit by a bolt from the blue.

His Majesty actually asked him to lead 5,000 Jinyi satellites to travel at night to protect Li Ji's personal guard, which means that His Majesty is likely to have known this shocking secret.

Although Wei Biwu had the right to act at his own discretion, he was still a little confused at this moment.

There are two suns in the sky, and no one knows what will happen next!

This strange situation was like a fog, shrouding his heart.

However, Wei Biwu was also grateful that His Majesty was still alive, so he didn't have to think so much.

Just like before, I will focus on protecting His Majesty!

It's a good thing that Your Majesty is still alive. As for the mess that will happen later, that's not something I should worry about!

He tightened his grip on the Embroidered Spring Sword at his waist, his eyes becoming more determined. The responsibility of protecting the late emperor was as heavy as Mount Tai in his heart.

In the mighty marching army of Li Ji, the atmosphere was tense and somewhat subtle.

Cheng Yaojin quietly approached Li Shimin and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, look, the Jinyiwei led by Wei Biwu have been following us for more than half a month."

"Tell me, who are they here to protect?"

Cheng Yaojin looked puzzled, his brows slightly furrowed, and his eyes glanced back from time to time to look at the mysterious Jinyiwei team.

Li Shimin rode steadily on his horse, looking calm and composed. He looked at Cheng Yaojin with a firm gaze, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and said meaningfully.

"Who else can you protect? It's Wei Biwu who's here, don't underestimate him. You two are not in the court now, do you really think Cheng Qian's Jinyiwei are just sitting there doing nothing? They are not vegetarians."

"I think he has already known the news about my team!"

As Li Shimin spoke, he stroked the reins thoughtfully.

Hearing what Li Shimin said, Yuchi Jingde beside him opened his mouth in surprise, his eyes as big as copper bells, and said in disbelief.

"Your Majesty? Are you saying that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince already knows? This...how is this possible? We were so cautious along the way. I thought we hid it well."

Yuchi Jingde scratched his head, his face full of confusion.

Li Shimin looked at Yuchi Jingde with some helplessness and pity, and uttered four words coldly.

"Full of loopholes!"

He paused, as if he had made some kind of decision.

He said, "Then I will go see him. Yaojin, go tell Li Ji about my whereabouts and don't let him worry."

"Jingde, follow me to meet Chengqian's Jinyiwei!"

Li Shimin's tone was majestic and left no room for doubt.

"Yes! Your Majesty!" Yuchi Jingde answered loudly. He tightly grasped the black spear in his hand, and the black spear flashed coldly in the sunlight.

Li Shimin drew his bow and reined in his horse, turning the direction gracefully. The horse neighed loudly, raising a cloud of dust.

Yuchi Jingde followed closely behind with a spear in hand, and the two of them stood out among the army.

That momentum was just like when Qin Wang Li Shimin fought on the battlefield, brave and fearless, and awe-inspiring.

They galloped towards the Jinyiwei, and the sound of horse hooves echoed across the grassland.

A special meeting is about to begin.
