Three days later, at night, Chang 'an was under curfew!
Chang 'an of the Tang Empire was bustling during the day, but it would be absolutely quiet at night. Other than the patrolling soldiers of the Capital Camp Hall Marshal's Office, there was no one else on the streets.
If the people of Chang 'an were not going to give birth at night or if their family members were suffering from an emergency, they would have to go to the doctor. If he had to wander outside for no reason, he would be caught and interrogated.
If you can't say one, two, three, then I'm sorry. You'll suffer.
It couldn't be helped. Chang 'an was the capital of the prosperous Tang Empire. All the ambassadors from various countries were here. The security of Chang' an was the face of the Chinese Empire.
You, Late Night Wolf, are problematic. You have slapped China in the face and are going to the Palace Marshal's Estate to drink tea.
Once the curfew was over, all 15 city gates on all four sides of Chang 'an would be closed. Whether he wanted to enter or leave the city, he would think about it tomorrow.
Of course, this was only true for the commoners, but it was different for the soldiers.
"Who are you?"
"Don't you know that it's already curfew?"
The guard general of Mingde Sect, who guarded the gate connecting Vermilion Bird Avenue to the outside world, questioned loudly from the city tower.
Li Daozong, Su Lie, and Hou Junji raised their heads and glared at him.
Li Daozong took out the Golden Dragon Token Arrow and said,"I'm returning to court!"”
"Your Highness, General Su, Lord Hou?”
"Quick, quick, release the bridge!"
Gulp! Gulp!
On the city gate, the big soldier immediately stirred the wooden wheel and lowered the rope across the bridge of the moat.
After entering the city, the Centurion brought the Thousand Bull Guard back. The three generals walked along Vermilion Bird Avenue to a crossroad.
The Vermilion Bird Avenue, which was more than 100 meters wide, was frighteningly quiet.
Humph!
Su Lie and Li Daozong snorted coldly and returned to their respective homes.
Hey!
"What are you two snorting about? Any objections?"
"Filial piety is the most important thing. Do you have any objections?”
"Are you two still human?"
The dignified Minister of War had pointed at the backs of the two of them and scolded them on the street. There was no need to mention how much he hated them.
Drive!
Hou Junji was on his way home, his hatred for Li Jing reaching its peak.
"Li Jing, you made me lead the heavy armored infantry. You were too slow, and I only arrived after they retreated.”
"All the military merits were given to Li Daozong and Su Lie.”
"Teacher, Su Lie and I are both your students. Are you so biased?”
In truth, after Su Lie and Hou Junji returned to the Tang Empire, they had both been Li Jing's students and had studied the art of war with him until they could become commanders on their own.
Su Lie had always remembered Li Jing's kindness. Although he looked rough, he had always regarded Li Jing as a good teacher and friend.
Last year, in order to climb up the ranks, Hou Junji had falsely accused Li Jing. Because of this, he secretly turned to Zhangsun Wuji.
Hou Junji began to plan his ambitions along the way.
"Yang Hao, I asked you to resign and did you a favor. You will repay me in the future, right?”
"If you resign and lose your fame, you won't be able to marry the princess.”
"If you pull the big tree Li Daozong along, I won't be afraid of you, King Daxian.”
Haha!
Hahaha!
Hou Junji couldn't suppress his excitement, and he began to laugh in the darkness.
"What do you do?"
"It's late at night. Are you crazy?"
"I see that your behavior is strange. You must be a foreign spy.”
Da da!
He heard the sound of footsteps and the friction of armor coming from behind him.
A major-general with his head held high and his chin looked down at people ran over from behind with a group of people.
The major general turned his horse around to take a closer look. He was so frightened that he trembled and immediately knelt down.
"Father, you're back?"
Pa!
"Good boy, you still dare to surround me with your troops?"”
"No, no, Father, I didn't know it was you!”
"Didn't you go on an expedition? You're back already?"
Hou Junji was fuming. This child had brought up a sore spot. He hadn't even seen the enemy's general on the expedition and had lost all his military merits.
"Go patrol by yourself. Don't ask blindly."
Hou Junji's son, Hou Debao, was a junior official of the Capital Camp Hall's Marshal's Office and a rank 4 general. Because his father was the Minister of War, he did not need to go out to war, he was in charge of public security, and he could still eat and drink well.
He had always been arrogant and arrogant to the point of looking at others with his chin. This was great. He had been slapped in front of the soldiers. He felt good.
"Laugh, laugh my ass. No one is allowed to say anything. Continue patrolling.”
Hou Debao covered his face as he rode his horse and continued to patrol.
The soldiers would be lying if they didn't laugh. How could they not laugh? They just didn't dare to laugh. It wasn't easy to see this typical heir who had relied on his father's military achievements to get promoted make a fool of himself. It would be strange if he didn't laugh!
In the main room of Jiang Xia's Imperial Residence!
The beautiful princess consort gently removed the armor for Li Daozong.
At the same time, as she listened to Li Daozong talk about the heroic deeds of her eldest nephew, she instantly lost her prejudice against the low-level generals as a typical aristocratic woman.
"Oh my god!"
"Alright, marry. I'm ten years younger, so I'll marry too!”
"I…"
Li Daozong raised his hand high.”
Hehe!
"Wangye, she is our daughter. She must marry, she must marry.”
"You're only sixteen years old, but your military talent is so outstanding. Three thousand defeated forty thousand, and you've waited until you arrived.”
"Genius, you will definitely become great in the future!”
Haha!
The corners of Wang Ye's mouth twitched. This woman's expression changed faster than the heavens. Before the expedition, wasn't he still a 'mere fifth-grade general'?
Actually, it wasn't her fault!
Everyone wanted their daughter to be good, especially when her daughter was a talented woman who was well-versed in poetry, music, martial arts, and dance. She was a woman who had received the praise of the Emperor of the Celestial Dynasty.
If he didn't have some ability, he wouldn't be willing!
Also, her two sons had died in the battle of the Western Regions, and she only had one daughter.
Li Shimin was right. Li Daozong only had one daughter. If he didn't find a son-in-law who was skilled in both martial arts and literature, how could he support the glory of the family?
Li Daozong saw that his beloved concubine was still very reasonable, so he was relieved. Then, things would be easy to talk about in the future.
"Wangye, quickly tell me, what rank of general are you going to recommend him for tomorrow?”
"In my opinion, what do you think of the fourth rank commander of the Capital Camp Hall?”
"Look, there's no war now. He's very capable. If he gets this position, he can stay in Chang 'an and become the leader in charge of Chang' an's safety.”
"In any case, this old marshal of the capital camp hall marshal's residence will retire in two months, right?”
High, really high!
Li Daozong had not expected that his beloved concubine would actually think of this position.
The official position was not big, but in the prosperous Great Tang, this position was very powerful. For example, if the Crown Prince was seen playing around during curfew, he could only hide like crazy.
Li Daozong looked at his beloved concubine's eager eyes and really didn't want to talk about that disappointing bastard's resignation.
He really didn't know how high his beloved consort would jump after he said it.
She was afraid that he would have to sleep on the pedal tonight!
Thank you for your support. Thank you.
