The Prince of the Tang Dynasty was built

Although Li Jiancheng didn't know why Li Shimin's reaction was so violent, he also noticed that Hou Xibai's expression seemed a little strange, so he didn't answer, but looked at him suspiciously, and secretly calculated in his heart.

Leaving aside Hou Xibai's plan for now, if Hou Xibai returns to Chang'an with the two of them, it may not be a bad thing for Li Jiancheng.Among the rising stars in the world today, Hou Xibai is undoubtedly the most lovable one.Although this person is flamboyant but not obscene, he has close personal relationships with many famous ladies, and he keeps his life clean, so there are no scandals.Such a young and personable Mr. Jia is detached from the outside world. To outsiders, he does not seem to participate in any faction's struggle. From the point of view of the Demon Sect and the Daoist Sect, this subtlety can lead Li Shimin to provoke the Demonic Dao to fight against each other. plan of.

In Li Jiancheng's view, it is a waste of money to have such a person who can help at any time without hindering the overall situation.What's more, Hou Xibai is also the successor of Shi Zhixuan, although Shi Zhixuan is obviously inclined to Yang Xuyan, but in fact he has no intention of harming Hou Xibai, and he might even have the intention to use him to win over his concubine Xuan.

Only Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng can be said to be both right and left, no matter which side of the Demon Dao has the upper hand, it will not harm the interests of the Li Clan, and Hou Xibai, as the successor of the Huajian School, has a good relationship with Shi Feixuan, such a delicate relationship, In the future, advances can be wooed, retreats can be provocative, as long as the timing is right, there should be no problem, and it also echoes the plan that Li Shimin revealed to Hou Xibai and the others to have a connection with Shi Zhixuan, so Li Jiancheng is a little confused. Li Shimin objected It means that there is some reason that I didn't know at the time.

Li Jiancheng thought in his heart, glanced at Li Shimin from the corner of his eye, and found that he was looking at him with a complicated face, he couldn't help but wondered, if it wasn't for his categorical opposition just now, with Li Jiancheng's temperament, he might have agreed to Hou Xibai now.

"Brother Shimin, what worries do you have?" Seeing Li Shimin's strong reaction, Hou Xibai was slightly taken aback, showing a searching look.

Li Shimin coughed in embarrassment, and then said slowly, "Master and I have noticed the attitude of Master towards Brother Xibai, and now Yang Xuyan is practicing the seal of immortality, we came with Miss Master, When we came back, we walked with brother Xibai again. If Master Ling meets us along the way, I am afraid that Master Ling will be suspicious..."

What he said was cryptic, but it was actually a kind reminder to Hou Xibai not to get too involved with the Li family, so as to cause Shi Zhixuan's misunderstanding, which ran counter to Li Shimin's previous plan.

Hearing this, Hou Xibai smiled slightly, "Brother Shimin, rest assured, Master Shi knows me well, and will never misunderstand the relationship between Miss Shi and me."

At this point, Li Shimin had no reason to object, so he reluctantly agreed to Hou Xibai to go with him.

The three of them left Shuzhong all the way, went north to Chang'an, the road was smooth, but Shi Zhixuan never appeared again.Hou Xibai wanted to get close to Li Jiancheng, and he was more considerate and caring in life, food and clothing were all arranged properly, which made Li Shimin feel even more breathless.

On this day, the three stayed in Luoyang.

Now Wang Shichong and the Li family are facing each other, both of them are ready to fight, and there is a possibility of war at any time.Luoyang is Wang Shichong's headquarters, and it is also an important town in the eastern capital. The three of them naturally acted cautiously and kept a low profile. They only found a remote restaurant and stayed behind closed doors. people to meet.

"I'm afraid there will be another war soon after we go back." Sitting on the roof of the inn, looking at the navy that Wang Shichong was practicing in the distance, Li Shimin squinted his eyes, and his expression was full of fighting spirit.

Li Jiancheng said with a smile, "It's not Wang Shichong that we should pay attention to this time, but Liu Heitai and Dou Jiande. Why don't we make a big encirclement? Just here in Luoyang, we can get rid of them in one go."

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows to look at Li Jiancheng. In his previous life, because of his status as the prince, Li Jiancheng seldom took part in military campaigns since he established his capital in Chang'an. In this life, Li Jiancheng went to the front line again and again, and he suddenly discovered that the two of them had the same style on the battlefield.It's good to fight the enemy in person, it's good to fight more with less, and it's good to attack out of curiosity.In the last battle, he advocated running for thousands of miles, but Li Jiancheng voted for it without much hesitation. He always felt that if he hadn't been injured, that person might have had this idea in the first place. As timely as it will be.

"Swallowing so many forces in one gulp, I'm afraid Li Clan doesn't have such a big appetite." Li Shimin chuckled, but his tone didn't seem to have the slightest doubt.

"Don't worry, I have a trump card." Li Jiancheng said with a smile, "But I can't tell you now."

"Up to you." Li Shimin also laughed.

A blue shadow flashed across the outer courtyard of the inn, and I saw Hou Xibai holding a small wine jar in his left hand, floating in from outside the wall, and seeing the two of them upstairs, he smiled and jumped on the roof.

The aroma of wine immediately became wanton.

"Is this Pear Blossom White?" Li Jiancheng snatched the wine jar and sniffed it on the tip of his nose. The aroma of the wine was mixed with the sweetness of pear blossoms, and he was drunk for a while before he drank it.

"Exactly. I just went out and met an old acquaintance from the past, and gave me this altar." Hou Xibai shook his clothes, sat down beside Li Jiancheng, and smiled brightly.

Luoyang is such a sensitive place, neither Li Jiancheng nor Li Shimin can go out, but Hou Xibai doesn't care where he goes, he wanders around to get some delicious and interesting things, and he comes back to relieve the two of them.Li Shimin was very uncomfortable with Hou Xibai at first, but he was short-mouthed and didn't run on him like he was running on Shi Feixuan.

The night was cool, the three of them relied on their profound skills and ignored it, just taking advantage of the moonlight to chat and drink.

There was no cup, so he drank from the mouth of the altar. Li Jiancheng took a long sip and felt a coolness flow from his throat into his stomach. It took a long time for the warmth to rise, and the sound of pear blossoms filled his nasal cavity.When he was slightly tipsy, he handed the wine jar to Li Shimin, slowly fell on his back, and lay down with his arm as a pillow.

Li Shimin's expression moved, and he slowly savored the place where Li Jiancheng had drunk just now. When he looked up, he saw Hou Xibai staring at him with twinkling eyes, and he couldn't help showing a bit of hostility.But Hou Xibai didn't seem to see it, and reached out for the wine jar.Li Shimin handed it to him, and also lay down.

I saw that the sky was densely packed with stars, and a Milky Way ran through the black sky, as if it really flowed.Li Jiancheng felt that there were more people around him, so he didn't turn his head, but said calmly, "I'm afraid I won't be so leisurely when I return to Chang'an in a few days."

"It won't be so busy all the time. It will only take a few years for the world to settle down. When the country is stable, we will come out together. Anyway, with the emperor on top, we won't need the two of us in the short term." .” Li Shimin replied with a light smile.

Speaking of which, Li Jiancheng couldn't hear Li Shimin's hint that he would no longer compete for the country. He couldn't help but turned his head and glanced at Li Shimin. He saw the man looking up at the starry sky, his black eyes reflecting the broken stars in the sky. At first glance, it seemed that Clear as snow.

"Listen to you, it seems that the world is already in the Li family's pocket." Hou Xibai drank the last drop of wine in the wine jar, and threw the wine jar on the ground, only to hear a crisp sound, and the wine jar fell into pieces. debris.

Hou Xibai waved his fan, looked down at Li Jiancheng, his hair was hanging over Li Jiancheng's head with the headband, and his posture was very ambiguous.

When Li Jiancheng was slightly drunk, he didn't notice anything wrong, and proudly said, "It's from our Li family."

Li Shimin watched from the side, wishing to pull Li Jiancheng up, but he couldn't help it, so he sat up first, patted Li Jiancheng's shoulder lightly, and repeated with a smile, "This is from our Li family." thing."

People on both sides were sitting, and Li Jianben instinctively felt oppressed, so he also sat up.

Hou Xibai gave Li Shimin a thumbs up and stopped talking.

Li Shimin laughed lightly.

On the second day, the three of them left Luoyang together. The Prince's Mansion and Tiance Mansion had already been outside to meet them. Everyone rushed back to Chang'an, but Shi Feixuan returned to Chang'an one step ahead of them, and greeted them outside the palace gate together with Li Yuan.

The Tang Palace is still the same. Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin followed Li Yuan into the Taiji Palace. They entered through the north gate. The three of them walked and chatted, talking about the recent political affairs. Li Zitong led the army to attack the south of the Yangtze River. , Shi Feixuan took the initiative to ask Ying to persuade Du Fuwei to surrender, which made Li Yuanlong even more happy.Li Jiancheng had already expected this, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he said something pleasant, and when he looked up, he saw the huge word "Xuanwumen" directly in front of his eyes, which made him unable to move even half a step.

"Jiancheng? What happened?" Li Yuan turned his head and looked at Li Jiancheng staring blankly at the city gate, seeming a little confused.

Li Shimin's face was also pale, and he stood motionless by the side.

"Nothing." Li Jiancheng replied subconsciously, but his feet did not move.Since the capture of Chang'an, both Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin have had a great shadow on this gate, and never pass through it, and sometimes they can make a detour.Afterwards, the two went out one after another, and they didn't stay in Chang'an for a long time. As time passed, they forgot about it. Now they suddenly came to this place, it was really hard for people to deal with it.

Seeing the place where he died in his previous life, Li Jiancheng had mixed feelings. He only felt that the tide of soldiers, the thunderous shouts of killing and Li Shimin's cold blade seemed to be in front of him again.He once thought that he had let go, but when he saw the word Xuanwumen, he didn't know what to do to get better.

Seeing the strange expressions of the two sons, Li Yuan was very puzzled, so he had to cough heavily, which brought the two of them back to their senses.
