Thump thump.
Li Junxian panted as he walked up the gate.
He was not taking a bath today, but he was woken up from his sleep. The moment he came up, he was told to go to the Black Tortoise Sect to change his guard.
This was because Black Tortoise Sect was not within his rotation range. He was the Vermillion Bird Sect's permanent guard general, and his main focus was on the main gate.
As soon as he stepped onto the city gate, he saw Chang He with a pale face. He couldn't help but tense up and cupped his fists.
"Greetings, Commander Chang and Lieutenant Jing."
He was only a Lieutenant General of the Thousand Bull Guard, while Chang He was the commander of the Imperial Army. Although the two of them were not directly subordinate, their statuses were still very different, so they had to bow respectfully.
Even though the Thousand Ox Guard general had a high rank, his actual power was not comparable to Chang He.
Jing Junhong was speechless.
The two of them stared blankly at Li Junxian as if they hadn't heard him.
"?"
He was even more puzzled.
Didn't these two ask him to come and guard? Why didn't he care about him?
"Junxian, long time no see."
"Ah…it's Your Highness!"
Seeing that it was Li Chen, Li Junxian breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
"It's been a long time. Your Highness has recently been promoted. Congratulations!”
The two exchanged pleasantries.
They were old acquaintances. Li Junxian had also been a general under Li Shimin, so they had known each other for a long time.
Later, Li Yuan had personally sent Li Junxian to guard the Imperial City, and Li Chen had entered the Palace more frequently. The two had similar interests, so their friendship was quite good.
When Li Chen had entered the palace to impeach Zhangsun Wuji and attacked Li Shimin for recruiting soldiers in Luoyang, Li Junxian had helped him.
If Li Chen wanted to use someone, this person could be his confidant.
"I called you here today because I have a big matter for you to do. If you do it well, this king will make you the general of the Thousand Ox Guard!”
Li Chen patted his shoulder and said in a deep voice.
Li Junxian's heart skipped a beat!
The Great General of the Thousand Bull Guards was in charge of the entire Thousand Bull Guards. It was the most important position in the palace and also one of the positions with the most power!
The position of Great General had always been vacant, and many people below were eagerly waiting for it. The pressure of competition was extremely great.
"Really?"
he asked tentatively.
"When have I gone back on my word?"
Li Chen stopped smiling and said seriously.
"As Your Highness commands!"
It wasn't the first time they had helped Li Chen, so they had a tacit understanding.
"From now on, you will replace Chang He and guard the Black Tortoise Sect.”
Li Chen waved the golden token in front of him and said,
"If the Crown Prince, King Qi, and King Qin come, they will be allowed to enter the palace alone. They are not allowed to bring any private soldiers, not even a single guard!”
Li Junxian's eyes narrowed when he saw the token arrow in Li Chen's hand.
He recognized this thing. It was too heavy!
Almost at the same time, he turned to Chang He and Jing Junhong.
Seeing their pale faces again, he seemed to understand a lot.
Something big was going to happen tonight!
Li Chen asked.
"Your Highness, I heard you clearly!”
Li Junxian nodded solemnly.
He vaguely knew that this matter was related to the battle between the Crown Prince and the King of Qin.
Smart people knew what to ask and what not to ask. One of the most important things to do in the palace was to not be curious.
"Yes, as long as you do this well, you will be the general of the Thousand Bull Guard tomorrow morning!””
Li Chen nodded and promised.
He clenched his fists tightly, and his heart was burning.
……
It was night time, and the sky was completely dark. Chang 'an had also begun its curfew.
However, at this moment, a group of people suddenly appeared on the Vermilion Bird Avenue. They passed through the alley and headed toward the Black Tortoise Sect.
"Your Highness, the Golden Guards really didn't make things difficult for us along the way.”
Hou Junji whispered.
This group of people was Li Shi Min's group!
"Eldest Young Master still cares about family ties.”
There were originally many spies in King Qin's residence, and the Golden Guards were active there.
Logically speaking, they would definitely make a move if Li Shi Min came out personally!
But this time, the Golden Guards acted like they were blind, pretending not to see and letting them leave.
Just this alone was enough to make them rejoice.
It was said that the beginning of everything was difficult, but this time, the beginning was excellent!
"Hehe, I've already said that Chen 'er is giving us a big gift to create an opportunity for me. Why would I stop him?”
Li Shi Min smiled proudly and said,
"Sigh, it's fortunate that Chen 'er didn't go to Luoyang, and it's also fortunate that he didn't listen to me.”
At this moment, he was extremely glad that Li Chen did not go to Luoyang. Instead, he stayed behind to be his right-hand man.
Hmm…That's right, he thought so.
"It seems that we have misunderstood Eldest Young Master.”
Yuchi Gong sighed softly.
"Moreover, his combat strength is so outstanding that I'm not his match at all!”
"Your Highness…you really have a good son. How enviable!”
Li Chen's actions had completely changed the opinion of the people from the Heavenly Policy Manor who had been prejudiced against him!
Now, everyone agreed that the Eldest Young Master was a brave and resourceful man, and his intelligence was definitely not inferior to Li Shimin!
He no longer dared to boast that he was the Great Tang's number one valiant general, and there was a mountain pressing down on his head.
"Hahaha, fast, fast!"
Li Shi Min laughed heartily as he listened to their flattery,
"Tell Fang Xuanling and the others to speed up the progress!”
"Let's enter the Black Tortoise Sect now!"
The Black Tortoise Sect's main entrance was just around the corner. Li Shiming and his trusted aides were chatting and laughing, not feeling any pressure from the battle.
Then, they finally stopped in front of the Black Tortoise Gate.
Li Shi Min looked up at the city wall with a smile, but his bright smile suddenly stopped.
It was another familiar figure.
