The God-Level Prodigal Son of the Tang Dynasty

Now that the travel route has been confirmed, there is a goal along the way.

It's not like he's running around like a headless fly.

Li Ke, you go and have a rest. I will talk to Zhao Chen about something. The emperor waved to Li Ke.

Can Li Ke still say no to the emperor?

He left in a hurry immediately.

Zhao Chen, let me tell you some of the information I have collected first. Old Li Tou said to Zhao Chen, holding a letter in his hand.

Yuan Ji once had a subordinate in Dingzhou. Before that incident, he left Chang'an and returned to Dingzhou.

If Yuanji comes to Jiangnan, he will probably seek refuge with him.

Even if Yuanji is not in Dingzhou now, that person should know his location.

The emperor and Zhao Chen explained.

Zhao Chen looked at the letter in his hand, which contained information about Li Yuanji's old subordinate in Dingzhou.

Before the Xuanwu Gate Incident, this man foresaw Li Yuanji's danger in advance.

Li Yuanji was advised to be careful several times.

However, Li Yuanji thought that he and Li Jiancheng were joining forces, so he didn't take Li Shimin to heart at all.

Of course, the final outcome was that Li Yuanji shot Yuchi Gong off his horse with an arrow.

Xue Wanche? Zhao Chen looked at the name on the letter and was a little surprised.

Why, you also know this person? Seeing Zhao Chen's surprised expression, Lao Li couldn't help but ask.

Xue Wanche is much older than Zhao Chen, and Xue Wanche didn't have much reputation before.

How could Zhao Chen look so surprised when he heard this person's name?

I just heard it once by chance. Legend has it that he is quite brave, but I just can't wrap my head around it.

But it doesn't seem to be the case. Zhao Chen smiled.

Xue Wanche is also considered a famous general of the Tang Dynasty.

Zhao Chen himself remembered that Xue Wanche hid in the mountains after the Xuanwu Gate Incident, and was later recruited back by Li Shimin.

But the current situation seems a little different.

Who told you that Xue Wanche's mind was not very good? Old Li Tou said

Frowning, he added, I sent people to Dingzhou several times to recruit Xue Wanche to return to serve in the court, but he always refused.

Before, I thought it was because he always resented Yuanji's death in my hands, but now that I think about it, that shouldn't be the case.

Yuanji has been alive, so naturally he will not betray Yuanji.

If you go to Dingzhou, you must carefully observe Xue Wanche. Even if Yuanji is not in Dingzhou, it is best to find out where he is going.

Zhao Chen looked at Old Li Tou, and he felt that there was something strange about Old Li Tou in front of him.

Isn't he going to meet Xue Wanche and let him go find Xue Wanche?

That's a little too much!

What, what you mean is that instead of going to Dingzhou, let us find Xue Wanche? Zhao Chen squinted at the emperor.

Zhao Chen felt that the emperor's thickness had increased to another level.

I followed him to Jiangnan to relax, so why did he have to go see Xue Wanche?

Xue Wanche knows me. With his hatred for me, he can't just take a knife to deal with me when he sees me?

You still have to go to Dingzhou City.

By the way, I heard that Xue Wanche has a beautiful daughter, she must be sixteen or seventeen years old. If you can get her, it will be easy to find out some information from Xue Wanche. The emperor looked at Zhao Chen with a smile.

He didn't feel the slightest bit uncomfortable because of Zhao Chen's unkind eyes.

Are you speaking human language? Zhao Chen looked at Old Li Tou and asked.

Of course Li Shimin was joking with Zhao Chen, but in Dingzhou, Zhao Chen really had to go.

At least he, Li Shimin, must not appear in front of Xue Wanche.

Otherwise, once Xue Wanche recognized him, he would risk his family fortune to get him.

It's just a joke. When you go out, don't be tainted by karma. But if you go to Xue Wanche's place, I will wait for you outside Dingzhou City.

square

When you are free, you can come out and discuss the next action with me. Old Li Tou explained to Zhao Chen.

Boy, it's not that easy to get the title of Duke. Li Shimin looked at Zhao Chen with a smile.

He did say at the beginning that when they returned from Jiangnan, he would make Zhao Chen the Duke of the country.

But, it’s not that easy.

you……

Hey, you kid doesn't care, but your wife can't say she doesn't care, right? The Duke's wife is a first-class lady, why don't you kid think about her? Seeing that Zhao Chen wanted to speak, Old Li Tou immediately blocked Zhao Chen with something.

Old Li Tou knew very well that it was useless to tell Zhao Chen anything else.

Only by talking to Li Ruoshuang, this guy will listen carefully. ??

The little bastard doesn't want his father after he gets a wife.

When his identity is revealed later, he will see if he doesn't punish him properly.

Let this kid remember what fatherly love is.

Sure enough, Zhao Chen stopped talking.

He frowned and seemed to be thinking about something.

Boy Zhao, have something to eat. We'll continue on the road later. By the way, when we get there tonight, you have to arrange a comfortable room for me to sleep in.

Of course, you have to pay the money. The emperor said to Zhao Chen with a smile.

He stood up, chewed the dry food in his hand and left.

…

Of course Zhao Chen would not be threatened by Lao Litou.

He really doesn't care about the title of a mere Duke.

Not to mention how Old Li Tou would exploit him if he showed interest in the dukedom of this country.

Even after returning from Jiangnan, he really became the Duke of the country, but he couldn't withstand Old Li Tou's frequent oppression.

Zhao Chen is not stupid.

When it comes to doing things, just follow your own will.

Let's promise Lao Li Tou on the surface first, and then sell Lao Li Tou back...

Tsk tsk!

Looking at Lao Litou's proud profile, Zhao Chen had his heart set on it.

The team set off quickly, and there were no surprises along the way.

The group of people riding horses attracted attention, but fortunately not many people knew that the emperor was on a tour of Jiangnan.

As for the officials along the way, that's different.

On the first day after leaving Chang'an City, the emperor and his entourage were welcomed into the city by the Puzhou governor.

There is no chance to stay in any inn.

Early the next morning, the emperor left Puzhou in a hurry without even saying hello to the Puzhou governor.

The group changed their appearance again, and many academy students even sold their horses.

It was time to change to a carriage and purchase some local goods.

Instead, it was disguised as a caravan.

At least if you enter the city again, you won't be invited in by local officials.

Ten days later, it was the end of the first lunar month, the weather was getting warmer, and greenery could be seen everywhere on both sides of the official road.

Farmers have already begun plowing fields in various places in preparation for this year's sowing.

Boy Zhao, get up. I've been sleeping all the way. Come down and go to the fields with me. Old Li Tou lightly kicked Zhao Chen's butt.

He looked like he hated iron but couldn't turn it into steel.

Since changing the carriage, Zhao Chen no longer rides a horse, even lying on the carriage without leaving.

Originally, the emperor gave himself a rest, but Zhao Chenjiu occupied the magpie's nest.

Several times the emperor had to sleep outside the carriage with Zhao Chen crowded at night.

What's there to see in the fields? Don't you farm your own land every year in the palace? It's not the first time I've seen him. Zhao Chen didn't want to follow him.

If you go to the fields, you will inevitably get covered in mud.

It's not comfortable to lie here.

Since I ascended the throne, I have never been out. The situation outside Chang'an depends on the memorials of the ministers.

This is my closest chance to reality. Get up! The emperor said to Zhao Chen and wanted to kick Zhao Chen again.
