After bidding farewell to Li Chengqian at Shili Changting, Xu Yunyan set off slowly in a carriage carrying his daughter-in-law Mei Jingjing and Yue'er.
There was a carriage behind him, and Liu Qiang was sitting on it driving the carriage, following Xu Yunyan slowly towards Qiongzhou, the southernmost part of the Tang Dynasty.
While heading south, Xu Yunyan said to Liu Qiang here that he was sorry for Liu Qiang.
"Brother Liu, if there is a good place to go to, you don't have to follow me. It may be difficult for me to come back this time."
After hearing Xu Yunyan's advice, Liu Qiang shook his head.
"The master has upheld justice for my wife. I have to help my wife fulfill her last wish no matter what. What's more, I am alone and have nowhere to go, so I can only make a living with the master."
Liu Qiang and Xu Yunyan couldn't help laughing at this moment.
"You, you, if that's the case, then I accept your love, but don't call me "grandpa" from now on. Call me Li Ying."
"How is this okay? I used to be a prince, can I be called by this name casually?"
"You are not a prince, you are just an ordinary person now."
"Sir, you are not an ordinary person, you are a general."
Liu Qiang teased Xu Yunyan here, "Sir, you are a fourth-grade Zhongwu general. You are much more powerful than ordinary people like us. How can you open your mouth and keep silent that you are an ordinary person?"
But just as the two of them were chatting here and there, a war horse galloped towards them in the distance.
When a cavalryman wearing casual clothes and carrying a package arrived, Xu Yunyan was a little surprised to see this pedestrian.
However, this cavalryman did not look embarrassed at all. Instead, he followed Xu Yunyan when he came near, lowering his head and not daring to say anything.
Xu Yunyan looked at him and said with a smile, "Zhang Hong, you are also a captain after all. What are you doing? And you are also a famous lord. If you don't serve well in the imperial city, what do you want to do?"
Zhang Hong grinned.
"General, I have nowhere to go now."
"No place left?"
Xu Yunyan was stunned.
"Yes, I resigned from my official position, and in the end I was left with the title of baron. I didn't even know where I would be placed. The court didn't arrange a place for me. So where would I go if I had a title? I was all alone. Now that I can come to seek refuge with the general, I hope the general can take him under his wing."
"I'm taking you in? Is there any mistake? I, an ordinary person, can take you in as a baron, are you kidding me?"
"General, stop making trouble. Sooner or later you will be able to regain your title of prince. You are a prince after all, and you still have such great abilities. Although you have been reduced to an ordinary person, you cannot be so unreasonable. Come on, don't take the brothers in, they really have nowhere to go." Zhang Hong teased Xu Yunyan here, as if he was relying on you, which made Xu Yunyan sigh helplessly.
"Since you want to follow me, do I still need to serve you?"
Zhang Hong looked at Xu Yunyan and said weakly, "No, no, even my title and official position are not as good as yours, a fourth-grade Zhongwu general. How dare you let the general serve me? What's more, I am resigning." After I resigned from the official position, the Ministry of War had eliminated the military positions, leaving only this title. As for the title, I also wanted to resign, but I didn’t know where to resign, so I had to wander around the world with such an identity, and they didn’t arrange a place for me to live. "
Zhang Hong obviously came here just for himself. Xu Yunyan nodded to him, "Thank you. I didn't expect that it would look like this in the end."
Zhang Hong smiled and shook his head, "Originally, the brothers were all coming, but I stopped them. I hope the general won't blame them."
"How can I blame them? It's good that you can live a good life, not to mention that with the title, identity and status, it's not too late for me to be happy."
"General, with your words, we will be satisfied even if we die. It's just that the titles of the few of us are just nice. We are alone, and we are still guarding the emperor. Yesterday we were able to move around freely, but today we can't Being trapped in Da'an Palace, what do you mean by this? I was so angry that I could only do this."
It seems that Li Shimin is very decisive in doing things. He just became the crown prince yesterday, and today he has imprisoned Li Yuan. It should be Li Yuan who gives way to Li Shimin tomorrow, right?
However, this Eternal Emperor has already come online, and I don’t know if the Weishui Alliance will appear again. I can only remind you that if it does appear, I hope you will be prepared.
Xu Yunyan muttered, looked in the direction of Chang'an, and said quietly.
"I still hope that our brothers who stayed in Chang'an City are all well. Looking at them makes me think of birds in a cage. We must let them endure it and not act recklessly.
They are guarding His Majesty now, but as you said His Majesty is imprisoned, it must not be long before King Qin, oh, no, His Highness the Crown Prince is about to ascend the throne. At that time, they will still accompany the Emperor, then they will become the Supreme Emperor. .
Under such circumstances, we cannot do such random things. We just want to ensure His Majesty's safety. Is there any way to contact them? If you have any questions, tell them and don't let them think too much. "
All Xu Yunyan could do was to keep exhorting them, and Xu Yunyan also did this. Just as Xu Yunyan kept exhorting them and talking here, a group of soldiers appeared in the distance.
Seeing them, Zhang Hong pulled out a sword from his horse and guarded Xu Yunyan there. Liu Qiang also looked gloomy. Xu Yunyan's heart skipped a beat when he saw this. Wasn't Li Shimin going to let him go?
But just when Xu Yunyan was thinking this, he was fully alert and quietly opened the weapon under his butt next to the carriage to cover it up. When he could draw the weapon at any time to fight, this group of murderous soldiers separated from each other. A figure that Xu Yunyan unexpectedly walked out of the crowd.
This man was wearing armor, but the armor was golden and most of it was made of gold. It was quite dazzling.
After Xu Yunyan finished lamenting that this person was rich, well-established, and capable of making such a heart-rending armor, this figure stepped forward.
Seeing Li Shimin getting closer and closer, Xu Yunyan jumped out of the carriage in a hurry.
"The last general has met His Highness the Crown Prince."
He bowed obediently to the side, but Li Shimin looked at him as if he was doing it on purpose and didn't even pay attention to him. He drove the horse and walked forward, crossed the front carriage, came to Liu Qiang's carriage, and looked at the things on it. .
"This one was given to Hou Junji by me. So is this one. So is that one. Oh, it seems they are all."
Xu Yunyan was surprised when Li Shimin said this.
Calling Gudaowu is an honorific title for the emperor.
"A widow? He thinks he is a widow now?"
However, the winner is a prince and the loser is a bandit. Xu Yunyan can only complain like this.
To do such an earth-shattering thing and win the battle, you should really consider yourself a loner.
Xu Yunyan was still there with his head lowered, and Li Shimin looked at him again after reading this.
"My good father really thinks highly of you, and finally made you king. It's just that I reduced your title. I wonder if you are convinced or not?"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is joking, how can I be ranked as a king by virtue of my virtue? It would be good to be an ordinary person. If the general can resign from the position of General Zhongwu, just be an ordinary person and live a stable life, I don't know. Can Your Highness agree?"
Xu Yunyan said he was going to resign, and Li Shimin looked at him very differently.
"You want to be an ordinary person! This seems impossible. Both your senior brother and your master are very optimistic about you, not to mention your apprentice.
But the things you did in the past were too dazzling, and this father inexplicably made you a king.
If you were still the Marquis before the King and there was no scene in front of the palace, and you were still the Marquis or General Yunhui in the capital, do you understand that there are many things that I can't do anything about? "
"Your Highness, I understand what His Highness means. Now I am offering a plan for His Highness. I wonder if His Highness can listen to what the general has to say?"
Li Shimin didn't expect that Xu Yunyan still had something to talk to him, and seemed to be able to help him solve the problem at hand, so he couldn't help but look at him.
"Do you know what I'm talking about?"
Xu Yunyan nodded heavily.
