Chang'an City is heading north towards Dingzhou.
A group of merchants were doing repairs on the roadside. Suddenly, the water in the teacups placed on the simple table where they were repairing began to vibrate involuntarily.
This shocked these pedestrians.
"Someone is approaching us, and there are a lot of them. What's going on?"
An older, very knowledgeable man looked at his tea cup here and said something, then hurriedly stood up and looked around.
His actions caused others to follow him, and his fellow merchants couldn't help but look at Chief Feng.
"Isn't it because Feng is worrying too much? I haven't seen anyone outside."
Just as a merchant was talking here, the caravan leader named Feng Baotou shook his head.
"No, there is definitely a situation. Either they are far away from us, or..."
But before Feng could finish speaking, some fiery red battle flags on the official road in the distance had already come into view.
"There's something going on over there, it seems like the Tang Army is dispatching on a large scale!"
Those with sharp eyes have already discovered the problem.
"Tang Jun? Everyone, please be careful and drive down the carriages on the official road. Don't cause trouble."
This Feng was worried that something had happened and he was shouting like this here.
As Feng Butou shouted, everyone could not help but look up into the distance. Sure enough, as Feng Butou said, some Tang Army battle flags were flying high in the wind in the distance.
This familiar battle flag is so chilling. Under the Xin Tang Army's battle flag are numerous well-armored Forbidden Forces, who are marching quickly here.
They quickly crossed the tea stall where Feng Baotou and the others were. After crossing over, Feng Baotou let out a long sigh of relief. While other people couldn't help but look at Feng Baotou with admiration, another team came from behind. Tang Jun watched them directly here.
This frightened them, and Leader Feng was also a human being, so he hurriedly stepped forward to establish relations.
"You military masters, you don't know what this is about? Why do you think we are here?"
It's just that Feng put his head on his smiling face and spoke, as if he was talking with a hot face but a cold butt. No one gave him an answer, but instead he waved the spear in his hand.
"Stand back, then rush forward and kill without mercy."
Forehead? What's going on here?
This time, everyone was frightened. The invincible move didn't work this time. Is it really going to cost the money?
When Feng Baotou was thinking this, another magnificent Tang army passed by. However, the clothes of this Tang army were different from those he had seen in public. And Feng Baotou was so old that he had been traveling all over the country for a while. , looking at this group of alternative Tang Jun couldn't help but be shocked.
"Xuanjia Army? How is it possible! How can the Xuanjia Army be mobilized?"
After Feng Baotou said this, the pair of Tang Jun who looked at them couldn't help but smile.
"I didn't expect you to be knowledgeable and know that this is the Xuanjia Army."
This Feng's avatar seems to have found an entry point for words, and he is here with a smiling face.
"This general is very kind. When I was young, I was lucky enough to see the Xuanjia Army defeat the enemy. At that time, I was also a member of the Tang Army."
While speaking, Feng turned his head and lifted his clothes aside, revealing a wound diagonally downward from the upper left corner of his chest.
"It's just that I was plotted by a villain and became like this. I can no longer serve the Tang army. However, I started this escort business to make a living, which makes you laugh."
Tang Jun, who originally looked at them very harshly, couldn't help but fisted Feng Baotou after hearing what Feng Baotou said.
"In this case, I will wait for Meng Lang, but since the old man has been in the Tang Army, he should know that there are some things that can be asked and some things that cannot be asked, and there are also some things that we cannot say. I hope the old man can forgive me."
Feng looked at the Tang sergeant who was still respectful to him and couldn't help but nod here.
"Yes, yes, what you said is true."
While Commander Feng and these soldiers were talking here, more and more Xuanjia troops came from a distance, and the Xuanjia troops guarding the middle ones were obviously like royal relatives and nobles, with golden helmets and gold Commander A's generals were marching there, which shocked Commander Feng even more.
After these people passed them, the leader seemed to react and fell to his knees with a plop.
"Your Majesty, that's Your Majesty! Is Your Majesty about to go on an expedition again? Where can Xiaoxiao actually force His Majesty to go on an expedition? How is this possible?"
But when Commander Feng said this, the guards were even more surprised.
"You actually know His Majesty?"
Feng wiped his head from his crying face, and said here, "Although the little old man was the lowest soldier of the Tang Army, he also followed His Highness the King of Qin in the north and south. Your Majesty is the original King of Qin. How could I I do not know!"
After Feng Baotou said this, these people were even more awe-inspiring. It was respectable and admirable to follow King Qin to fight to such an extent.
But just as these people were lamenting that this soldier never forgot his roots, the merchants next to him interrupted.
"The North is currently at war with the Turks. Could it be that our Tang army was defeated and His Majesty was forced to send troops north?"
After hearing this sentence, Feng stood up hurriedly and looked at Tang Jun in front of him.
"Although I only have these old bones, I can still fight to kill one or two Turks. I would also like to ask this gentleman to tell me whether it is really a matter on the local Turk side that Your Majesty personally led the army to support. If that is the case, I will spend all my wealth to recruit volunteers, and I will fight to the end to cheer for Your Majesty and the Tang Dynasty."
Seeing that the old soldier in front of him was speaking very loyally and courageously, Li Chengqian, who was a little behind, stopped his horse, turned around and came to his side.
After Li Chengqian's schedule changed, Prince Wei Shu also stopped moving forward. Li Chengqian turned over and took a few steps forward, giving a fist to the old man who was speaking out righteously.
"He is truly the pillar of the country. Our ancestors fought so hard for us, the Tang Dynasty. Cheng Qian is here to express his gratitude."
After Li Chengxian said these words, Feng looked at the person next to him in confusion.
"This name is too familiar, Cheng Qian, Li Cheng Qian?"
However, I still didn't realize what kind of person this was, but he should be a prince and grandson, and Feng Biaotou was shocked here. This prince and grandson actually saluted them, and he was so relieved that he was ready to cry again. At that time, Tang Jun, who had had several conversations with the old soldier next to him, hurriedly said here.
"This is His Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty."
In an instant, Commander Feng started to cry loudly, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince, you can't go! Your Majesty is leading troops to support the North. You, the crown prince of the Prince's country, have a lot to do with us. How can we go together? You should be the mayor of the town and you can't do anything lightly!"
Feng put his head here and cried loudly, while Li Chengqian looked at him and said with a smile.
"Did this old man think wrongly? Why do you think that our Tang army cannot defeat the Turks?"
Feng raised his head and looked at Li Chengqian and asked, and Feng raised his head and said immediately.
"Your Highness, I know that you are brave and good at fighting, and will fight to the last soldier. However, these Turks are extremely vicious, coming and going like the wind. We, the Tang Dynasty, have few cavalry, so it is really difficult to be hostile to them! We, we... …”
Feng Baotou wanted to say that the Turks were powerful, but looking at the Tang army in front of him, he couldn't say this. Although the Turks had attacked Chang'an a few years ago, did they also retreat?
Just when Feng Baotou was worried, several smarter merchants next to him were talking.
"No matter whether our Tang army can win the battle or not, these Turks are invincible, but their swords have no eyes. It is always inappropriate for His Royal Highness and His Majesty to come to the front line in person. If something happens... I have to wait for the crow's mouth." , but this can really affect the destiny of the country! Your Highness, please think twice."
After these people said this, Feng Bang's head finally calmed down.
"Your Highness, as the saying goes, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst case. This case..."
If Feng Baotou couldn't continue talking, Li Chengqian looked at the old soldier in front of him and said with a smile.
"To borrow the auspicious words of our ancestors, we don't have to worry about these problems. The Turks have been defeated by the Tang Dynasty. Whether you believe it or not, we are not going to fight the Turks now, but to get back some of the things we should get." Something to return.”
When Li Chengqian said this, Leader Feng in front of him had no choice but to kneel here, "Your Highness, I hope what you said is true, but if you need it again, you will have to spend all your wealth and pull up a can." Soldiers and horses serving His Highness.”
Li Chengqian nodded seriously to Feng Bao, "You haven't asked me your surname?"
Chief Feng hurriedly said here, "The little old man's surname is Feng, and his last name is Qing. He is the owner of our Feng's Grain Shop in the East City of Chang'an City. From now on, His Highness the Crown Prince will be of use to me. Please let me know. Little old man." He must be so heartbroken that he will not hesitate to do so."
Feng Qing?
Li Chengqian deeply remembered that the Tang Dynasty was so glorious because of so many capable ministers, officials and people with lofty ideals.
Li Chengqian hugged him again and said, "Uncle Feng, there is no need to worry about anything. As long as Uncle Feng stabilizes the price of food after he returns, it will be fine if the volume and price do not increase again during this period."
But just as he said this, Li Chengqian couldn't help but look at him again.
"Oh, I see. You are one of the few grain merchants who was the first to comment on selling grain during the grain shortage the year before last, and who never raised prices after all the grain was sold. You are a good person."
Li Chengqian's compliment made Feng Qing burst into tears of gratitude, and he hurriedly pulled the business people next to him to salute again.
"Your Highness, although they are young and have not experienced war, they still have principles for doing things. As long as His Highness trusts us, we will definitely serve His Highness to the death."
Li Chengqian did not expect that Feng Qing pulled these businessmen to work for Li Chengqian, and these winning businessmen did not show any displeasure. They could only rely on this matter to get into Li Chengqian's lap.
"good!"
Li Chengqian looked at the many people in front of him and nodded his head, promising to be serious. He couldn't help but think of the scene in the future when the Tang Dynasty's decrees would spread all over the world, and the people of the world would live and work in peace and contentment.
But just after thinking for a while, looking at his father Li Shimin who was already walking away in the distance, Li Chengqian hugged him with a fist again.
"Uncle Feng, wait until I return to Chang'an before visiting. Now we have to go to the Northland first, but please believe that it is definitely not what Uncle Feng thought. We have defeated the Turks."
After leaving such thought-provoking words, Li Chengqian quickly led his prince Wei Shu forward to chase Li Shimin. No matter what status they were, these merchants, rich or poor, and their servants were all here. He looked in the direction of Li Chengqian and bowed.
Even if the cold wind outside the tea shop is biting, they don't have any complaints. Here they think that with such a wise king, they will be worry-free in the Tang Dynasty, and their future life will be even better.
