"Mother."
In Empress Zhangsun's bedchamber, Li Zhi looked at the beauty in the palace dress in front of him and said softly.
Empress Zhangsun didn't turn around, but looking at her trembling shoulders, she must be crying.
"Servant Zhi, Mother has already heard from His Majesty. Although Mother has many things to say, as the heir to the throne of the Great Tang, you should indeed take up your responsibilities.”
Li Zhi nodded, then slowly knelt down and kowtowed three times to Empress Zhangsun.
"Mother, your son is willing to go through fire and water for the people of the world. However, he was unable to accompany his mother and father. This was unfilial.”
"However, since ancient times, it has been difficult to be both loyal and filial. I hope that mother and father can take care of their health.”
Li Zhi said so. Although he was a transmigrator, he had completely inherited Li Zhi's memories and feelings, so what he said now was true.
Empress Zhangsun waved her hand and did not turn around. Because she was afraid that if she turned around and saw her beloved Slave Ji, she would not have the heart to let him go.
Li Zhi once again kowtowed three times to Empress Zhangsun before standing up and striding out of the palace.
After Li Zhi left, a person walked out from behind the screen. This figure was Li Shi Min, and his eyes were red.
He was the ruler of a country, but he was also a father. No one knew how much pain Li Shiming had suffered when Li Chengqian and Li Tai rebelled.
Therefore, he focused all his fatherly love on Li Zhi.
Facing Li Zhi now, he was both gratified and distressed.
He was gratified that Li Zhi's bearing was already so extraordinary at such a young age. He even had great ambitions to do what the ancient emperors before the Tang Dynasty had done.
His heart ached because Li Zhi, who was only fifteen years old, had to travel the world and taste the sufferings of the world.
"Second Brother, will Slave Zhi be in danger? Although the world was peaceful now. But the Great Tang had only been founded twenty years ago, and it had only stabilized in recent years.”
Empress Zhangsun held Li Shiming's hand and said worriedly, tears still flowing.
It seemed that the rule of Zhenguan and the might of the Great Tang had spread throughout the world!
But in truth, the Great Tang had yet to be completely stable. Bandits ran amok everywhere, and the remnants of the previous dynasty ran amok. In fact, there were many of them. However, the history books only recorded the grand occasion of the Great Tang and did not record the complicated details of the people.
"Don't worry, We will send Li Junxian and his Shadow Guards to protect Zhi Nu in secret.”
Although Li Shiming had promised not to interfere with Li Zhi's journey, as a father, he was naturally not at ease.
As a result, he had secretly ordered Li Junxian to send guards to protect Li Zhi. If he really encountered a life-threatening situation, he would lend a hand.
.............
From that day on, the Crown Prince of the Great Tang had disappeared. No one in the capital had ever seen him again.
Only Li Shimin's old friends, such as Zhangsun Wuji, Yuchi Gong, Cheng Yaojin, and the others, knew that Li Zhi had gone to visit in disguise.
However, after the morning court session, Li Shi Min flew into a rage in Taiji Palace.
"Li Junxian, you're in charge of the Shadow Guards of the Great Tang, but you can't even keep an eye on a child?”
Li Shimin was furious. Li Junxian had lost track of Li Zhi the moment he left the capital.
Li Junxian hurriedly said, his forehead covered in cold sweat.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince actually has an expert by his side. The 120 Shadow Guards that I sent to protect His Highness the Crown Prince were all silently knocked unconscious. After that, we lost track of the Crown Prince.”
Li Shi Min was stunned.
"It seems that this brat, Zhicu, still has a secret that I don't know. However, since he has such an expert by his side, there should be no problem with Slave Zhi's safety. However, just what kind of expert was he to be able to quietly kill more than 120 of my shadow guards!”
Li Shiming was shocked. The Shadow Guards were the most secretive intelligence organization in the Great Tang. They were an assassination organization that had been established when Li Shiming was still the King of Qin.
In the entire Great Tang, there were less than three hundred Shadow Guards! Therefore, they had always been active around the capital.
In order to protect Li Zhi, Li Shimin had taken out more than 120 of them. From this, it could be seen that Li Zhi was the future of the Great Tang.
At this moment, thousands of miles away from the capital.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, father is really careful. He actually sent so many shadow guards to protect me.”
Li Zhi said, but his eyes were filled with gratitude. Li Shiming's actions were undoubtedly because he was worried about his safety.
Unfortunately, he had Ye Gucheng's protection. In the Great Tang, in the entire world, as long as Gu Cheng existed, no one could stop him!
"Gucheng, from now on, you will protect me in secret, understand?”
Li Zhi said to Ye Gucheng. Due to the system's mission requirements, he had to travel the vast lands of the Tang Empire with the identity given by the system.
Therefore, this was not something Li Zhi could decide.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Gucheng was 100% obedient to Li Zhi's orders.
However, when he saw what Li Zhi took out from the bag, he was stunned.
"This! This!"
Even someone as powerful as Ye Gucheng stuttered.
"What's wrong? Was it strange? Haven't you seen it before?"
Li Zhi smiled.
