"Your Majesty, His Highness King Jing left early this morning.”
In the Administrative Hall, Li Shi Min, who was not in the court today, was reading the memorials. Wang De, who was beside him, reported softly.
"Got it."
Li Shi Min looked at the memorial on the table without raising his head, as if it had nothing to do with him.
……
"Your Highness, King Jing has left the capital. The 2,000 Yue Cavalry Battalion is made up of elites. They are armed with weapons, bows, and crossbows.”
In the Eastern Palace, Crown Prince Li Chengqian's eyes flashed when he heard the voice of his personal eunuch. Then, he smiled and said,
"Send someone to chase after him and give Sixth Brother a thousand taels of silver and a hundred taels of gold. Tell him that Eastern Palace Gu is busy and can't send him off personally.”
"Yes, this servant accepts the order."
The eunuch turned around and left to make arrangements.
……
In the Royal Academy, Wu Wang, Li Ke, and the other four kings heard that Li Lin had left the capital. Their eyes flickered, and then they all reacted the same way as the Crown Prince.
As for the younger princes, they did not move.
……
"Si Zi, Si Zi…" Li Lizhi was dressed in luxurious clothes and found Li Mingda who was practicing his sword.
"Royal Sister."
Li Mingda stopped when he saw Li Lizhi. He turned his head and smiled.
"Aiya, why are you still laughing? Sixth Brother left the capital.”
"Clang!" The sword landed on the ground. Li Mingda was stunned, and his face was filled with disbelief.
A moment later, he came back to his senses." Royal Sister, you're lying to me, aren't you? Why would Sixth Brother, he go?" Didn't Imperial Father say that princes who were not strong enough couldn't turn over?”
"Moreover, Third Imperial Brother and the others didn't even have a chance to show up.”
Looking at the tears in Li Mingda's eyes, Li Lizhi went forward and reached out to touch her cheek. She said softly,"Si Zi, don't worry. The Sixth Imperial Brother is very capable, and he also has the two thousand Yue Cavalry Battalion guards that Imperial Father personally bestowed upon him.”
“…….”
Li Lizhi's comforting words were met with Li Mingda's silence.
Bing Xue was intelligent. After she learned that her sixth brother had been sealed in White Cloud City, she had specially learned about the location of White Cloud City.
Naturally, he knew how dangerous it was.
At this moment, she quickly thought of her father's intentions.
It was precisely because he thought of it that Li Mingda didn't say anything, but his heart was unusually sad.
He was sad for Sixth Brother and felt that Sixth Brother was not worthy.
At that time, Sixth Brother risked his life to protect the entire family, but he did not expect that it would be such a situation now.
Since Li Lin left without informing her, she actually knew nothing about the imperial edict.
Li Mingda knew that neither Sixth Brother nor Imperial Father wanted her to know about this.
If he wanted to rush out now, he would definitely be stopped.
Thinking of this, Li Mingda looked at Li Lizhi and forced a smile."Royal Sister, thank you for telling me this. I'm going to practice my sword now.”
"Alright, then Royal Sister won't disturb you. Just watch from the side. Royal Sister also wants to see Si Zi's progress during this period of time.”
"Yes."
After agreeing, Li Lizhi walked not far away and watched Li Mingda pick up the sword and start practicing. Her eyes were filled with worry.
Although the sword light that flashed in the courtyard was extremely sharp, it had an obvious sense of emptiness.
She knew that Si Zi's heart was in a mess because of Sixth Brother's departure.
……
Outside the ten-mile pavilion in the Divine Capital, the emissaries sent by the Crown Prince and the four kings stopped the army.
Looking at the gift boxes in his hands, Li Lin smiled and waved his hand to signal the Four Sword Servants to accept them. Then, he cupped his hands and said,"Please help me thank my royal brothers for their kindness.”
"Your Highness Jing Wang's words are too serious.”
"Let's go."
"Here!"
"Set off!"
The army that had just stopped once again set off toward the north.
…….
Because it was just a short distance away, the army did not charge at full speed, but moved slowly.
At the front of the army, the sentry cavalry kept coming and going, reporting the situation to Liang Shi.
When the army reached noon, they stopped to replenish their food and continued to advance without any delay. In the afternoon, the army that had traveled more than a hundred miles began to set up camp at the chosen place.
"Your Highness, the tent is ready. Please move.”After Liang Shi finished setting up the tent, he immediately came to the carriage and said respectfully.
"I know. After dinner, Commander Liang and Deputy Commander Liu came to my tent.”
"Yes, I will follow your orders."
"Let's go."
"Yes, sir!"
Dian Wei drove the carriage. Under the escort of Xu Chu and the Four Sword Servants, Li Lin arrived at the main tent and entered. Liang Shi continued to arrange for the army to set up camp and guard the area.
Although this place was only a hundred miles away from Chang 'an, with the speed of the flood dragon horse, it would take less than an hour to arrive.
However, Liang Shi and Liu Ben didn't dare to be negligent. The camp was set up according to the rules of a war camp.
He didn't dare to be careless about the guards.
Whoosh. A breeze blew past the main tent and Zhang Han appeared.
Dian Wei and Xu Chu, who were holding the hilts and halberds, looked at Zhang Han and nodded slightly, then relaxed.
"Young Master!"
Li Lin picked up the piece of paper and blew on it. He folded it and placed it into a brocade bag. He then casually threw it and the brocade bag floated towards Zhang Han.
Zhang Han raised his hands and caught the brocade bag steadily.
"Go to the Youzhou Governor's Office personally and hand the brocade pouch to the Prince of Yan. After he finished reading it, he would destroy it and ask him to give an answer.”
"Yes, this subordinate will obey your orders!"
Zhang Han took three steps back, turned around, and disappeared from the tent.
Dian Wei and Xu Chu's eyes flashed with a hint of emotion when they saw Zhang Han's mysterious movement technique.
"That's right, Zhang Han's strength has already caught up to you.”
As if guessing what the two of them were thinking, Li Lin smiled and explained.
"If we fight alone, I'm confident that I can kill him within a hundred moves!”Hearing Li Lin's words, Dian Wei's eyes flashed as he replied in a deep voice.
"This subordinate doesn't even need a hundred moves." Xu Chu suddenly spoke up.
"Hahaha, I naturally know your strength. But what if he didn't fight them head-on?”Li Lin asked with interest.
"Uh…" The two people below were stunned for a moment, then their faces turned red. They lowered their heads and said in unison,"This subordinate is inferior."
"All of you are my trusted generals, each of you has your own strengths, so you don't have to think about competing with Zhang Han. Of course, you can spar, and I won't stop you.”
"Understood."
Li Lin shook his head and did not say anything else when he saw his two personal guards cupping their fists in greeting.
Since ancient times, there was no first or second in martial arts. Fierce generals like Dian Wei and Xu Chu naturally liked to compete with others. Especially Zhang Han, who was also Young Master's trusted aide.
As for the three of them sparring from time to time, Li Lin also knew about it, but he had never said anything.
The three of them were not completely boorish, and they all knew what to do. Moreover, sparring with each other was also beneficial for them to verify each other and increase their strength.
