Li Shimin's words shocked all the dignitaries present.
However, they were not shocked for long. Li Shimin had already pulled Li Chengqian to his carriage, preparing to turn the dock and enter Chang'an City.
Li Shimin's actions made those who had followed Li Shimin prepare to perform well in front of Li Shimin and be able to compete for the position of prince no matter what. The other adult heirs of Li Shimin were extremely angry.
"Li Chengqian is older and more familiar with these generals. If I lead them, they can do the same thing.
You are just biased. If we have such a chance, we will do no worse than Li Chengqian. If you don't believe it, just give us a chance. "
Just when they were staring at Li Chengqian bitterly, they didn't notice that there was a strange thing above their heads. The defenders on the top of the city were looking around. When no one was paying attention to them, they began to do something that was absolutely frightening to watch. Little moves.
However, Li Shimin held Li Chengqian's hand and spoke quietly there like Captain Huai.
"Your Majesty, you have really made my father proud this time, and what you have done has made my father very happy."
But Li Chengqian couldn't help but said when he saw Li Shimin looking like he was about to enter Chang'an City and made no other moves.
"Father, have you forgotten something?"
"Forehead?"
Li Shimin was stunned when Li Chengqian said this, and Li Shimin hurriedly began to think about it.
"I forgot something, what did I forget? Your Majesty, if my father really forgot something, just say it, why do you still need to be so polite to me?"
As soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, Li Chengqian said something beside him.
"Father, you reward your ministers so generously, shouldn't you reward the general who commands the army this time?"
Li Shimin was surprised at this moment.
"Didn't I get a reward?"
Li Chengqian looked at Li Shimin as if he had received a reward some time ago, which made Li Shimin embarrassed, and then he lowered his head and looked at him.
"Your Majesty, what's going on? When did I make such a fuss?"
Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian a little embarrassed. The provincial Li Chengqian resented himself and kept lowering his head to admit his mistake. But Li Chengqian sighed when he saw Li Shimin like this.
"Father, have you really forgotten that all the meritorious generals and noble sons and daughters who participated in the evaluation of the Japanese country will be rewarded, but the champion will not be rewarded. Isn't this too unreasonable for you?"
Only then did Li Shimin react.
"Yes, I seem to have been forgetting one important thing. I always feel that something is missing in this matter. It turns out that I have missed the reward for the commander-in-chief of the champion."
Then Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian and said awkwardly.
"It's my father's fault, but my father won't embarrass you."
After Li Shimin finished speaking, he stood still. Fortunately, he hadn't left just yet and spoke loudly here again.
"What do you think of the reward for being the first general to lead an army this time? How should I reward you? Now that I think about it, I have decided to return to the city!"
As these words fell, Li Shimin turned around and rushed towards the imperial city. He was so embarrassed just now that he forgot many things. But just when he was about to turn around again, Li Chengqian pulled him back.
Li Shimin suddenly felt that he seemed a bit miserable as the emperor, and then asked Li Chengqian a little uneasily.
"I wonder if the emperor has anything else to say? Is there anything that the father has not thought of?"
Li Chengqian looked at Li Shimin's appearance and pointed at the Tang troops in the distance.
"Does the emperor just let them stand there and inspect these teams without inspecting them?"
"Review!" "Father, Holy Ming!"
"As it should be, as it should be."
Li Shimin didn't know what he was thinking. He forgot a lot of things today. After Li Chengqian reminded him, he scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Thanks to Huang'er for reminding me about this matter. If Huang'er hadn't reminded me, my father would definitely have made a big joke this time."
After Li Shimin said these words, he got off the carriage directly, and Li Chengqian shouted loudly, "Generals, be silent and accept your Majesty's review."
Li Shimin was originally shocked by what he said, asking the ministers to discuss the rewards of the general and champion, but suddenly Li Chengqian shouted, which shocked them.
However, they were still very sensible and hurriedly moved aside to allow Li Shimin to go forward and take a look at how powerful the elite Tang troops who were accompanying them in their expedition against Japan were in Ding Yizhou.
But just as these soldiers were excited and lined up, waiting for Li Shimin to come to review, the man on the top of the city who was making small moves finally tied the bowstring on his crossbow, and suddenly drew out a A crossbow arrow was about to be fired at Li Chengqian below the city head.
However, when he loaded the crossbow arrows and raised his hand, the sun shone on the arrows, reflecting a ray of cold light. Li Shimin and Li Chengqian, who had their backs to the city, couldn't even see...??????????????? However, the defenders under the city wall discovered it.
"No, there's an assassin!"
Someone shouted and Li Shimin and others were shocked.
"Is there an assassin? Is it from the front?"
However, Li Chengqian knew that these people in front of him would never be assassins. They were all his absolute confidants, and he would definitely trust them and use them in the future. He suddenly looked back and saw that when he reached the top of the city, a man was already holding a bow. The crossbow was aimed at them, and without thinking, he opened his arms to block Li Shimin's back.
Li Shimin, who was beside Li Chengqian, realized belatedly and looked at the shadow behind him. Suddenly, there was a person with open hands superimposed on his shadow, and he hurriedly turned his head to look.
Just then a sharp arrow shot out of the air.
"What's going on? Your Majesty!"
After realizing it, Li Shimin yelled and prepared to stop Li Chengqian with his hand to prevent Li Chengqian from blocking the fatal arrow. However, when the arrow was about to hit Li Chengqian and Li Shimin was filled with grief and anger, suddenly something happened again. A figure stood behind Li Chengqian, opening his arms to block Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian's mouth twitched slightly when he noticed the visitor.
As soon as the master's disciple came out, he heard the sound of stabbing through the air, and it stabbed the figure in front of him with a pop.
Master!
Finally, after Li Chengqian spoke clearly, everyone saw the situation clearly. Someone wanted to assassinate Li Shimin, and Li Chengqian stood in front of Li Shimin. Xu Yunyan, who was very similar to Li Chengqian just now, acted as the leader when everyone was preparing to welcome Li Shimin for review. Xu Yunyan blocked behind Li Chengqian again.
Such a scene made everyone present unable to react for a moment. However, fortunately, there were still some generals at the scene who understood the priorities of the matter. Especially Li Chengcheng, who came with him, took out the gun from his waist before everyone could react. Bao Jian yelled.
"Protect His Majesty, protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, others go to the top of the city and capture this assassin for me."
After Li Chengcheng said something, the defenders next to him had not yet moved. This elite army, which had just returned from Japan with the power of great victory, had already moved forward quickly and surrounded Li Shimin and Li Chengqian. The shield was bigger than a human. High, ensuring that no one can attack them from any direction.
When they rushed to the city gate, the defenders on the top of the city reacted and hurriedly captured the man who dared to shoot the arrow.
But the archer sighed, "Time has not waited for me, and I didn't hit the target. It's so sad!"
After this man said this all his life, when everyone was about to approach, he jumped forward and jumped off the top of the city.
This shocking scene made many people at the scene unable to react, not to mention that Li Shimin and the prince were surrounded by shields to protect them during the process, and they did not know what to do next.
The scene was still for a moment, but Changsun Wuji finally came to his senses and roared loudly.
"Seal the city quickly, close the city gates urgently, and arrest Xiao Xiao in the whole city. He can't be alone. I have to control all his relatives, friends and the people in his group. No matter what, I want to know what is going on. ."
As Changsun Wuji spoke, everyone finally started to prepare as if they had found the backbone. After Li Chengcheng saw that the scene was safe, he shouted outside the shield.
"How is your majesty doing now? The last general, the crown prince of Luzhou, and the bandit general Li Chengcheng have requested to see your majesty."
After Li Chengcheng asked, everyone made way for a small passage, and Li Chengcheng ducked in. He couldn't help but be shocked when he saw the scene in front of him.
"Your Majesty, is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince safe and sound?"
After Li Chengcheng asked, the two people who were squatting there and looking at the man in front of them said, "We are safe and sound. Find a military doctor quickly. Is there a military doctor in your team?"
Li Chengqian??????????????? came with such a sound, and Li Shimin said there.
"Send the message to the imperial doctor quickly."
But while they were talking here, Xu Yunyan, who was pinned to the ground by them, was indeed talking even though he was shot with an arrow.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you don't need to go to such trouble. The general is wearing armor. There is a layer of soft armor inside the armor, so I have not been injured."
"Well?"
Li Chengqian and Li Shimin, who were here with heavy hearts, looked at Xu Yunyan who was still on the ground despite being held down by them. They said this in a brisk tone and were stunned.
"What? You're wearing two layers of armor?"
"It's not two layers of armor, but I had a whim before I went down and made another set of inner armor that was comfortable to wear, and then I put on the iron armor on the outside.
Who makes the general look a little thinner and stronger without wearing armor, so that wearing armor does not show the general's heroic demeanor? "
Li Shimin and Li Chengqian, who were originally worried about Xu Yunyan, couldn't help but turn a little blue when they heard this.
Li Shimin looked at Xu Yunyan and said.
"You should just be your champion in peace. If you act like this, I won't give you a reward."
After Li Shimin said this, Li Chengqian was unhappy.
"Father, how could you do this? If I hadn't stood in front of you, Master wouldn't have stood in front of me. At that time, this arrow was aimed at you."
Li Shimin was suddenly choked by Li Chengqian, his face looked ugly, and he looked at Li Chengqian talking here.
"What do you mean? As my son, isn't it natural for you to stand in front of me?"
Li Chengqian looked at Li Shimin, a little unconvinced.
"Who said that since I am your son, I should stand in front of you as a matter of course?"
This scene made the people holding shields and guards nearby couldn't help but laugh, but they still continued to do their things unswervingly, not daring to make any other strange moves, but while they were laughing and joking here, they were lying on the ground. Xu Yunyan spoke.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, can you calm down and let the general get up from the ground first?"
Li Chengqian and Li Shimin both stood up when they had an argument just now, but these two people stood up very distinctively.
Both of them had one foot on Li Chengqian's master Xu Yunyan, making Xu Yunyan like a pedal and not daring to make any move on the ground?
Xu Yunyan was afraid that if he moved, the two people in front of him would fall into the mud and chew the mud. At that time, he would be in big trouble.
