We have fought to the Arctic Circle, and you want me to inherit the throne?

After passing Shanhaiguan, the road becomes difficult to travel.

Fortunately, the soldiers Li Che brought with him were all elite soldiers with excellent horsemanship. Although the road was difficult to travel on, it did not affect the marching speed too much.

The next stop is Yanfan.

Li Che thought that his fourth brother had already set off, but he did not expect that as soon as he arrived in Yan, Li Lin hurried over with a few personal soldiers.

"Sixth brother, oh sixth brother, you are finally here. I have been waiting for so long!"

The moment he saw Li Che, Li Lin breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Che looked at him in surprise: "Fourth brother, why haven't you set off yet?"

Li Lin said unhappily, "I'm waiting for you. This is my first time back to the capital since you became a vassal. I wanted to travel with you so I could take care of you along the way."

Li Che felt warm in his heart.

Not to mention other princes, Li Lin really didn't say anything to himself.

When Feng State had not yet risen to power and he was still the Prince of Ninggu, Li Lin had taken good care of him.

Not only did they send weapons and armored cavalry, they also joined forces to scrape some money from the aristocratic families as their initial start-up capital.

It may be a bit of an exaggeration to say that without the help of Prince Yan, there would be no Feng State.

But if it weren't for the help of Prince Yan, Li Che's journey would definitely not have been as smooth as it is now.

"Old Six, you don't know that the situation was bad last year, and this year the snow is so heavy, causing disasters for people in many places."

"Many people have been unable to survive and have fled into the mountains to become bandits. Our father has only allowed us to take three hundred people with us. This journey is not safe."

"If we two travel together, we can have an extra layer of security... Wait!" Li Lin looked behind Li Che, his eyes stagnating. "Sixth Brother, how many soldiers did you bring with you?"

At first, Li Lin was a little anxious, so he didn't pay attention.

Now it seems that the cavalry behind Li Che are in a large group, which is definitely not the scale of just 300 people.

"Um...I only brought three hundred guards."

"But there are more than a thousand people who are escorting prisoners into the capital. We just happen to be traveling together."

Li Che still used the same rhetoric.

Li Lin looked helpless. "You're just trying to cover up your mistake. How could Father believe it? What prisoner is so impressive that he needs over a thousand elite cavalrymen to escort him?"

Li Che said calmly: "It's the King of Goryeo."

"Even the King of Goryeo can't...wait, who are you talking about?!!!"

"King of Goryeo, Li Weiyou." Li Che repeated.

"King of Goryeo (broken voice)?!!!"

Li Lin was stunned and his jaw almost dropped to the ground.

Li Che was also a little helpless. Why were these two people like NPCs, even the feedback animations were exactly the same?

It took a lot of effort to explain the whole story clearly, and Li Lin finally calmed down.

Then, he expressed his undisguised envy: "With such achievements, Sixth Brother, you must be the most meritorious among all the princes."

Li Lin looked at the rising star Li Che and could not combine him with the harmless Xiao Liu in his impression.

Goryeo was conquered, and although it was not completely destroyed, it was nominally incorporated into Daqing.

What a great achievement this is!

If Li Che was not a prince, or if this credit was given to other generals, it would be enough to crush him to death!

Either retire and return home, or the bow is put away after the bird is dead. No one can bear such a great credit.

"Fourth brother, thank you for your compliment." Li Che said modestly, "We'll talk about this later. Is Fourth brother ready? When do we set off?"

Li Lin finally came back to his senses: "Yes, Lao Liu, do you want to take a rest? If not, we will set off today?"

Li Che was not tired at all and readily agreed.

Li Lin didn't say much. He immediately selected three hundred elite soldiers and brought the princess and the prince with him.

The Feng Army and the Yan Army joined together and marched towards the imperial capital together.

Li Che also welcomed Li Lin joining the team.

It's not as simple as meeting a classmate at school and going to school together.

The merging of the two teams has great political significance.

It means that Feng State has obtained the support of Yan State. The two people have the same position and can even be said to have formed a clique.

After the news reached the court, the officials of the Feng Wang faction and the Yan Wang faction would put aside their prejudices and become political allies.

This is what Li Che hopes to see. His original body had very bad relationships with people and he had been in the court for more than ten years but still had no foundation.

As Feng State rises, the pressure from the court will become greater and greater, and he must unite everyone he can.

Li Che's carriage was big enough, so he simply invited the Prince of Yan and his wife and little Li Xian to come and ride in the same carriage.

Little Li Xian was only five or six years old, an age that was usually the most disliked, but he was very quiet and was well educated by Princess Yan.

After politely greeting Li Che, he sat quietly in his seat, his eyes fixed on the little white bear in Li Che's arms.

Li Che smiled slightly: "Xian'er likes Xiaotuan?"

Li Xian nodded and said sweetly, "Is it called Xiaotuan?"

"Yes, look at it, it's a furry ball, isn't it just a little ball?" Li Che picked up the little white bear and brought it to Li Xian, "You can touch it."

Li Xian stretched out his hand cautiously, as if afraid of hurting the little white bear, and his movements were very gentle.

After touching the soft fur, Li Xian's big eyes suddenly curved into crescents.

The Princess of Yan beside her also had a gentle look on her face. What a mother cares about most is her children.

Li Che likes Li Xian, which makes her feel better about Li Che.

"This bear has snow-white fur, which is quite miraculous." Li Lin couldn't help but ask, "But is it a natural species?"

Li Che shook his head: "This bear comes from the Far North. There is snow all year round there, and the bears all look like this."

Li Lin nodded in understanding and looked away.

"Sixth Brother, do you know what the emperor's intention is when he summoned us back to the capital?"

Li Che's eyes became serious, knowing that Li Lin was going to talk to him about serious matters.

"Appreciate further details."
