After the court session ended, Lu Bei was about to explain to Li Jing.
However, he was stopped at the palace gate by the Head Eunuch Wang De.
"Chang An Marquis, His Majesty wishes to invite you to the palace.”
Wang De said respectfully.
"This…"
Lu Bei was stunned. Just as he was about to refuse, Li Jing walked out from the crowd that had retreated to the Li Palace.
"Virtuous son-in-law, state affairs are more important than love. As for Nongyue, I will help you explain.”
Li Jing had an understanding expression on his face as he reminded him in a deep voice. Then, he nodded at Wang De and turned to leave.
"Thank you, father-in-law!"
Lu Bei was extremely touched. He gritted his teeth and followed Wang De into the palace.
Fifteen minutes later, Lu Bei, who was dressed in a purple robe and jade belt, arrived at a side hall under the lead of Chief Eunuch Wang De.
Li Shi Min changed into a golden robe and sat inside.
Beside him were several piles of memorials.
"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Chang 'an has arrived."
Eunuch Wang De bowed respectfully to Li Shimin.
"You're so young, there's no need to be so polite. Tell me, what are your chances of winning!”
Li Shimin saw that Lu Bei was about to greet him. He waved his hand in frustration and asked in a deep voice.
"If Your Majesty is asking if you can kill Dieluo Zhi, then Your Majesty can rest assured. Even if he has three heads and six arms, he won't be able to escape this death trap.”
Lu Bei said calmly.
"What if the two armies confront each other? 3,000 people, what are the chances of winning? I'm betting the fate of the country on you, Lu Bei. I want to hear the truth!”
Li Shi Min asked again.
"After the death of Dieh Luo, the two armies confronted each other. I only cared about killing the nobles with the highest status. The smaller ones would naturally go back to fight for power and profit. I'm afraid they wouldn't have the ability to go south until the winner is determined.”
Lu Bei smiled.
"Why is such a big matter so simple in your eyes?”
Li Shi Min laughed bitterly and scolded.
"The world is like chess. No matter how ever-changing your opponent is, as long as you turn him into a dead person, no matter how many troops he had when he was alive, it's just a dead end. I'm going to kill people on the battlefield. No one can stop me. Don't worry, Your Majesty. No matter what, I won't let the people of the world suffer the scourge of weapons again.”
On Lu Bei's determined face, his eyes flickered with insight.
"Alright, Lu Bei, I entrust the fate of the Great Tang to you. You won't let the Great Tang down, and I won't let you down. No matter what, victory is not allowed!”
Li Shimin stood up with a serious expression and grabbed Lu Bei's hands."Please!"
"Rest assured, Your Majesty. This general will not let the Great Tang lose, because this is also my country.”
Lu Bei's words made Li Shimin stand still on the spot with a touched expression.
At this moment, he was not only a king, but also a father who had entrusted his daughter to the other party.
……
Just as Li Shiming and Lu Bei were talking in the palace.
In the Dai Public House.
Li Jing had already told Li Nongyue everything that had happened in the imperial court.
"Father, I told you to get married quickly. If I had known earlier, I would have held the wedding directly that day. What should he do now? After he killed Dieluo Zhi, was he really going to risk his life with only three thousand men against the Turkic army?”
After Li Nongyue heard this, she fell into a huge dilemma.
On one hand, she hated Princess Chang Le's lingering presence.
But on the other hand, she also felt that it would be too pitiful if Princess Chang Le was unfortunately married off to the Turks.
After all, she did not have much hatred for Princess Chang Le.
In the end, she was worried about Lu Bei and brought 3,000 people to fight against the power of another country.
After hearing the news, she felt uncomfortable and paced back and forth in the living room with a troubled expression.
"Lu Bei is your husband. Shouldn't you support what he wants to do?”
Li Jing's words instantly silenced Li Nongyue.
"Father is right. He needs support the most now. I should support him! Thank you for your advice, Father!"
After Li Nongyue quieted down, she bowed to Li Jing solemnly before turning around and walking out.
She planned to personally tell Lu Bei that her fiancée supported him!
Li Jing looked at his daughter's back as she left and smiled in relief.
……
An hour later, Lu Bei's carriage slowly stopped in front of the Marquis Manor.
Lu Bei, who had finished his conversation with Li Shimin in the palace, jumped off the carriage.
Butler Zhang Di rushed over.
"Master, Princess Chang Le came to find you in disguise. I have already asked her to wait in the living room.”
Zhang Di cupped his hands and reported.
"Princess Chang Le?"
Lu Bei was stunned for a moment before he quickly entered the residence.
In the spacious living room, Princess Changle, who was dressed like a servant girl in a gray coarse floral dress, her fair face entered Lu Bei's eyes.
"Lu Lang!"
When Princess Chang Le saw Lu Bei, she stood up with a pleasantly surprised expression.
"Your Highness, may I know why you have come this time?”
Lu Bei asked politely.
Princess Chang Le was stunned for a moment before she smiled bitterly.
Only then did she remember that although she had known Lu Bei for a long time, she had forgotten that they were strangers who had only met once.
"Lu Lang, I've been friends with you for a long time. I don't want to marry the Turks, I want to be with you!”
Her voice was a little muffled due to shyness, but her tone was extremely firm.
After saying that, she was so embarrassed that she could not raise her head. She only dared to secretly raise her eyes to peek at Lu Bei's reaction.
Her appearance was extremely cute, making Lu Bei want to protect her.
"Please rest assured, Your Highness. No matter what, I, Lu Bei, will never let such a delicate beauty like you fall into the hands of the Turkic moneybags.”
Lu Bei grabbed Princess Chang Le's hand with a firm gaze and replied in a deep voice.
"Lu Lang…"
Princess Changle looked at Lu Bei's handsome face in a daze, intoxicated by it.
If this was a dream, she hoped that she would never wake up.
