"Aniang believes in you. It's just a pain for you. You have to take care of everything." Concubine Yang nodded, then sighed.
"Auntie, how is your health?" Li Ke let go of his hands and looked at Concubine Yang up and down. After not seeing each other for half a year, Concubine Yang had lost some weight, but her complexion was good. Concubine Yang's body had always been good.
"My mother is in good health, don't worry." Concubine Yang said with a smile.
"My son will bring Li Min to see you tomorrow." Li Ke confessed with a smile.
"Go and pay homage to your grandfather tomorrow. This is the most important thing."
"yes!"
Li Ke chatted in Concubine Yang's palace for two hours, telling his mother and concubine about the things he encountered in the Western Regions, the scenery he had seen along the way, etc. He did not talk about the important matters of his family and country, and he also knew that his mother and concubine did not care. this.
While Li Ke was chatting with Concubine Yang, news that Li Ke had returned to Chang'an quickly spread in all directions.
In the gang stations in various cities in Chang'an, these old soldiers became excited and shouted loudly one by one: "Come on, come on, let's gather. Let me run five kilometers first. Your Highness will come back and celebrate."
Many members below also shouted excitedly. In more than half a year, these former gangsters have changed the most. They can be regarded as qualified gang members. Their daily life is called a routine. According to Fu Bing The captain, political commissar and other arrangements, daily exercises, training, and running have been used to it for more than half a year.
Not only have their bodies become much stronger, but they also walk with great vigor, feeling even more majestic and domineering than before. The most important thing is that during His Highness's absence for more than half a year, their The work never stopped at all.
The daily job of these gangsters in every market is to collect protection fees from those small merchants. After collecting the protection fees, they ensure the safety of the other party and ensure that no one will come to make trouble. If something goes wrong in the homes of these merchants, When things happen, such as wind or rain, plaques or other things are broken, they will help repair them.
Many masons and carpenters under His Highness came here and taught them a lot of skills. Although they couldn't compete with these masters, they could still do some simple repairs.
Their reputation is completely different from a year ago. Wherever they go now, someone will respectfully call them husband, and each merchant prepares protection fees early every month, and many merchants even They are willing to pay more protection fees. If they are late in any month to collect the protection fees, these merchants are afraid that they will not collect them and will take the initiative to deliver them to their doorsteps.
It is precisely because of the changes of these merchants that they finally understood what the political commissar told them before and what His Highness said, that they came from among the people and must take root deeply among the people.
With these common people as their support, it can be said that the gangs in each city know everything that is happening in the city. They all know what strangers are in the city today.
Especially some rangers, refugees, etc. who come from other places cannot escape their eyes at all. Who makes everyone in the entire city belong to them?
Even the Wuhous who are responsible for maintaining public security in various cities have to smile and say hello when they see them. There is no way, these Wuhous are too relaxed now. The security of Chang'an City for more than half a year makes them feel that it is so safe. The days were great too.
And of course they also know why public security has become so good.
So they naturally have more respect for these people.
"Xiaojiu, Xiaojiu, I have good news for you! His Highness is back!" In a large courtyard in Shanhefang, Chang'an City, a half-year-old boy who was 1.34 meters tall excitedly rushed into a large room and shouted loudly road.
When all the children in this big room heard this, they immediately jumped up from their seats: "Zhu Erhai, is what you said true? Is His Highness really back?"
Li Xiaojiu turned over from his position, grabbed Zhu Erhai's shoulders, and asked excitedly: "Really?"
"Of course it's true. People from Qunxianfang next to Jinguang Gate said it. They all saw His Highness with their own eyes. His Highness beat Changsun Chong as soon as he entered the city!" Zhu Erhai said happily.
"Hahahaha! Your Highness is finally back!" Li Xiaojiu turned over in excitement and said, "We have missed His Highness so much these past six months."
"Yes, I just don't know when we can see His Highness." Another child also said excitedly.
"Hey, His Highness's return means that His Highness is safe. We don't have to worry about His Highness's safety. Why does Your Highness see us doing that? His Highness must be very busy, so we can just do our own thing!" Li Xiaojiu said seriously.
"Yes! We just have to do our own thing well. We are so happy that His Highness is safe. Hehe, since you are so happy, why don't we go and beat up Changsun Dalang?" The child rolled his eyes and said.
"Shh!" Another child quickly made a silence gesture, "What we did last time was almost found out. If the gang in charge of Dongshi hadn't helped us cover it up, we would have been in jail. You don't want His Highness to do it for Fish us out and spend a lot of money."
"Yes, yes, you can't do it directly. The sack was not put on properly last time. Who knew that a human figure could be seen vaguely on the sack? If we had known, we would have used clothes to sew a bag." Zhu Erhai said with some annoyance.
"Forget it, let's stop this. Let's take a rest. His Highness is back. His Highness will naturally take care of Chang Sun Chong. We can take action there." A child with a big head next to him said.
"I don't think it's possible, I have to do it again." Li Xiaojiu thought for a while and said.
"Why?"
"You see, we have caused many accidents for Chang Sun Chong by investigating his daily departure route. For example, he accidentally stepped on dog poop, walked into an alley and had a bird droppings on his head, or walked into a crowd of people. When we were there, we caused chaos and accidentally squeezed him into the river. He didn't care himself, he just felt that he was a little unlucky, but when we beat him last time, he became a little alert, and we didn't find a chance."
"If His Highness comes back and he never encounters similar things again, if he thinks His Highness sent someone to punish him on purpose, wouldn't that be causing trouble for His Highness?" Li Xiaojiu said seriously.
"Then Xiaojiu, you are the smartest, what do you think we should do?" Zhu Erhai asked immediately, "How about we implement the plan we discussed last time? When Chang Sun Chong had a private meeting with his best friend in the brothel, we gave him He fainted and then shaved off all his hair?"
"No! His Highness has always done things upright in his life. Even if he wants to deal with him, he never implicates others, so we can't implicate others." Li Xiaojiu said seriously.
