Datang: Princess Changle was kidnapped at the beginning

Hearing this, Xie Liang suddenly muttered a little.

He also heard the marquis's brother-in-law in Chang'an City say that it was impossible for this ordinary matter of suppressing bandits to alarm His Majesty, and this time the ministers of the court and the central government were speculating that His Majesty might have another purpose for going there in person.

Now that I hear this Master Wang say this, I feel that this matter is even more true. Otherwise, he has been in Lai'an County for a few years, and he really hasn't heard of bandits in Qingcheng Mountain. The surrounding people have not been infested by bandits.

Thinking of this, he nodded quite approvingly: "What you said is also very reasonable, in this way, you let the investigators come back quickly!" In

case it is really His Majesty who has other plans in Qingcheng Mountain, in case the people of this faction accidentally bump into

him, this is okay! Since ancient times, the heart of this emperor is unfathomable!

Master Wang hurriedly said yes, and at this moment, a man and a horse came not far away.

After seeing the person's appearance clearly, Master Wang was overjoyed

, and hurriedly shouted: "Look, my lord, the person who went to the front to inquire about the news is back, I'm afraid that Your Majesty is coming!"

Xie Liang hurriedly straightened his clothes and reminded everyone behind him to cheer up. Waiting expectantly for the man to approach.

The person who inquired about the news rode his horse to Xie Liang, and hurriedly dismounted to report

: "My lord, after Your Majesty set off from Chang'an City, he went directly

to Qingcheng Mountain from the path!" Xie Liang asked in surprise: "Not coming?!"

As soon as he heard this, Xie Liang believed that Li Shimin was probably really going to do something in Qingcheng Mountain, otherwise he would not have gone from the road in such a hurry.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly turned around and ordered: "Hurry! Hurry up and call back the person sent to Qingcheng Mountain to inquire about the news!"

......

Five thousand Praetorian Guards, surrounded by Li Shimin, came all the way to the foot of Qingcheng Mountain.

Li Shimin looked up at Qingcheng Mountain in front of him, and the mountain was not too high. Compared to the usual steep mountains, this mountain forest is much gentle, and it is not an easy place to defend and difficult to attack. I didn't expect that there would be bandits in such mountains and forests to settle here?

With Cheng Biting Jin's previous experience, it is natural that he cannot underestimate the enemy. After coming to the foot of the mountain, Wei Chi Jingde immediately sent a small team of people to inquire about the news.

Not long after, someone came

back to report: "Back to Your Majesty, General, there are five or six patrol men on the mountain, and there is no other abnormality!" Wei

Chi Jingde hurriedly looked back at Li Shimin and asked: "Your Majesty, this is the right time to enter

the mountain!" Li Shimin nodded, staring fiercely at the mountain in front of him, and secretly thought in his heart:

"This time, such lawless thieves will be punished on the spot!"

Li Shimin gave an order, and the 5,000 Praetorian Guards, with an invincible momentum, marched towards the mountain step by step.

Along the way, there were even more frightening birds and beasts.

The mountaineers patrolling the cottage looked at the scene of birds and beasts flying at the foot of the mountain, and also found that something was wrong, several people looked at each other, and secretly screamed that it was not good!

"Go and report to the owner of the village!" Several

people immediately divided into two ways, one went to the cottage to report the news, and the rest were at the top of the mountain to observe the movement under the mountain at all times.

......

"Husband, the refined salt refining factory is operating normally, and the first batch of refined salt produced can already meet the consumption of the people in the village!" Li

Lizhi said proudly, staring at the results of the refined salt refining factory in the past two days.

Lin Chen nodded with great satisfaction, reached out and stroked the broken hair in front of Li Li's forehead, and said with a smile: "The lady did a good job!

Although she is a princess, she does not have the arrogance of a princess.

Thinking about this, Li Shimin, as a generation of virtuous monarchs, will naturally not be far behind!

Li Lizhi heard Lin Chen praise herself like this, and she was even more shy, and lowered her head and whispered:

"Husband has won the award!"

Lin Chen looked at Li Liqing's shy appearance, and even took the delicate woman into his arms.

"Hahaha!" This

little lady not only can't stand the teasing, but also can't stand the praise!

"The owner of the village!"

At this moment, a voice came from outside the door, and the voice was Xu San.

Lin Chen cleared his throat and asked calmly, "What's the matter?"

"Village master, the brothers patrolling the mountain found that there were many officers and soldiers coming down the mountain, and the number was more than before!"

The two people in the room glanced at each other, and they both understood, I am afraid that this officer and soldier are also coming for Li Liqing.

Li Lizhi asked anxiously: "Husband, I'm afraid that my father has sent someone over again, so I'll go out and make it clear to them

!" Lin Chen shook his head indifferently: "No, let's not say that you have already asked people to pass the message before, just say that now that the number of officers and soldiers has increased, and they have reached the foot of the mountain, I am afraid that this matter is not so easy to compromise, let alone turn around and leave because of your few words!"

Li Lizhi frowned slightly: "What should I do?" I knew that I should have written a letter to inform my father and queen mother, this must have made them angry and brought so much trouble to the cottage......

" Seeing Li Lizhen's very self-reproachful look, Lin Chen smiled faintly and said: "It's okay, the lady doesn't have to worry, with your husband here, what's wrong? Go and see the situation for the husband first!"

It's just one word: Dry!

Li Lizhi heard Lin Chen's words, as if there was a special magic power, which made her heart settle down a lot.

"Husband, be careful!" Although

he knew Lin Chen's ability, he was facing the soldiers in the army, and there were only these people in this cottage, and the gap in numbers was still too obvious, which inevitably made Li Lizhen very worried.

Lin Chen smiled and nodded: "Don't worry!" As

soon as he went out, Lin Chen's eyes flashed, and he commanded in a deep voice: "Gather the brothers, let the crossbowmen get ready! Let's meet them

!" "Yes!"

Xu San immediately received the order to go, and in a short time, he had already assembled the mountain people in the mountain.

According to Lin Chen's orders, the crossbowmen were guarded on both sides of the mountainside.

"Village master, just now there is news from the bottom of the mountain, there are two guards on the other side leading the way, and there are about 5,000 people and horses!" Lin

Chen looked at the place where some birds were faintly rising at the foot of the mountain, and there seemed to be signs of expansion to both sides.

The corners of his mouth hooked, and he waved his hand: "The remaining brothers are divided into four teams, and they are stationed around!"

Xu San did not doubt him, and hurriedly took orders to do so.

This time, the number of people is twice as large as last time, and I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with.

Li Laosi shook the hammer in his hand and scolded angrily: "Damn! Here it is again, the owner of the village! I will go to the front and kill a piece of armor for those gang of dog officers and soldiers!" Lin

Chen looked at the officers and soldiers who were moving under the mountain, and said with a cold smile: "Don't worry, I have my own arrangements!"
