Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, was undoubtedly very capable, but this guy had a stain on his reputation. He forced his father to abdicate and kill his two brothers and their descendants. This could not be washed away.
But now, he had discovered a descendant that was suspected to be the Emperor's brother. Combined with Li Shiming's character in this aspect, Li Jing was not sure what Li Shiming's attitude towards his brother's descendant was.
The most important thing was that this kind of trivial matter between the royal family involved his only daughter. Otherwise, Li Jing would not have bothered to care.
He had thought that he would encounter a Turkic army and engage in battle when he entered Youzhou City. However, apart from encountering a hundred Turkic deserters and bandits, there was basically no other battle on the way. Thus, he arrived at Youzhou City very smoothly.
"General, general, there are many people outside the city, many soldiers of the Great Tang! We have reinforcements!" A messenger from the city wall shouted as he rushed in. He knelt on one knee in front of Li Jun with an excited expression.
Youzhou City had been defending against the attack of Turks for over 1 month. Besides the first 10-odd days, there were no more reinforcements. Of course, they became very excited when they saw that Youzhou City was completely safe!
Li Jun was reading and dealing with the problems of the people's livelihood in Youzhou City in her study. When she heard this news, she stood up in surprise and said,"Do you know how many soldiers came from here and who is leading them?”
"General, the person in command is Li Jing. It is said that he is your father and has led one hundred thousand Great Tang soldiers here.”
"It's great that father is here. With the army of 100,000 soldiers under the command of father, Youzhou City will be safe!”Li Jun was also very excited. Now, Youzhou City was completely saved. Most importantly, she could finally get rid of the burden of the people's livelihood in the city!
Almost all the officials in Youzhou City had fled. The entire city was under the control of Li Jun's military law, which temporarily replaced the civil law and the law, to maintain production, restore the people's livelihood, and replenish resources.
Even though military administration was the easiest way to rule and manage, Li Jun was just someone who had read books on governance but had no experience in this area. She was essentially a pure commander, and was more suitable to lead troops into battle and kill the enemy than to do the work of a civil official.
"Let's go. Lead the way immediately. I'll go and welcome him immediately. Xiao Li, immediately gather Commandant Zhang and Commandant Zhou and let them go and welcome him together.”
"Yes, Miss." The female soldier named Xiao Li nodded and turned to leave. However, she thought of something and shouted hesitantly,"Um, Miss, do you want to inform your fiancé?”
"Ah, right, I almost forgot about this little guy. I should also inform him. After all, it's me.。。”Before Li Jun could finish her sentence, she was stunned. She finally reacted. Letting Li Taixuan meet her father, wasn't this the same as meeting her parents? Would her father agree to this marriage?
A marriage between a female general of the Great Tang and a young man from a mountain village?
As if sensing that the atmosphere was not right, Xiao Li and the soldier who had reported the situation earlier slipped away at the same time.
After a while, Li Jun gently patted her face and took a few deep breaths. She opened her eyes and said,"It doesn't matter. At most, we'll elope.”
After saying that, he quickly left the study and headed in the direction of the city gate.
Li Jing had already revealed his identity. The city gates had long been opened, and the vanguard of more than 5,000 people had already entered the city.
As nothing unexpected happened to the vanguard troops, Li Jing led half of his high-level officials and personal guards into Youzhou City while the rest people camped outside the city.
"Is this Youzhou City? It seemed that it had indeed experienced a lot of battles. The city wall had been broken to such a state, and the city gate was filled with signs of repair.”Walking on the suspension bridge, Li Jing looked around and spoke from time to time.
The moat's water was very shallow, and it was obvious that the blockage had not been completely cleared. The city walls were covered in moss, and the blood on them probably brought resources to allow the moss and other plants to grow.
The city gate was like a beggar's clothes, full of steel patches.
Li Jing could imagine what a brutal war was going on in Youzhou City before the arrival of the young man named Li Taixuan who was suspected to be the descendant of the third young master.
"Lui ~"
"Hmm? Speak of the devil."
Li Jing was suddenly stunned and stopped where he was.
Not far from the city gate, he saw a young boy who was throwing a hammer in his hand into the air out of boredom. He caught it with his other hand and threw it into the air again, playing around to kill time.
There was another hammer by his feet, and a black and white warhorse in the shade not far away!
Li Jing was very familiar with these things. That pair of hammers used to be the Third Young Master's drum-beating urn golden hammers, and that warhorse was almost a replica of the Ten Thousand Miles Mist Cover!
And this person in front of him looked 70 - 80% like the Third Young Master, Li Yuanba!
"Is this kid really the son of the Third Young Master?”Li Jing thought to himself.
"Hey, what are you staring at me for? My father once said that nothing good would happen when a man looks at another man for so long. Tell me, are you itching for a beating?”Li Taixuan had noticed this guy for a long time. He had originally planned to ignore him, but he kept staring at him, which made Li Taixuan unhappy. If it was a beautiful woman, then so be it. But what was a middle-aged man looking at?
Li Jing raised his eyebrows and thought,""Even this arrogant, naive, and ignorant way of speaking is so similar.”
"Bastard! Do you know who you are scolding? This was the temporary regional governor of Youzhou appointed by the Emperor of the Great Tang, Commander-in-chief Li Jing, who commanded the hundred thousand soldiers of the Great Tang! Hurry up and apologize!"
"Idiot!" Li Taixuan took the hammer from the sky with his right hand and gave the lackey a middle finger.
"Hmm? Wait a minute, what was this old fellow called?”Li Taixuan's face suddenly stiffened and he stood rooted to the ground. The hammer suddenly fell, and with a bang, a three-meter-wide crack appeared.
"Protect the marshal!" Thinking that Li Taixuan was going to harm Li Jing, the lackey general at the side shouted at the top of his voice.
Li Jing snapped,"Shut up! Protect what? All of you, retreat!"
"Yes, Marshal!"
"Um, little brother, you look very familiar. I keep feeling that you look a little like someone familiar. May I know your name and where you live? And where did this pair of hammers and that warhorse come from?”Li Jing asked with a smile as calm and gentle as possible.
"Name? My name is Li Taixuan. My home is in a place you won't know even if I tell you. It's called Black Mountain Village.”Li Taixuan answered a little more respectfully this time.
