It wasn't long after the clock struck.
Li Ke was woken up by the steward of the prince's residence.
He yawned sleepily as he walked out of the house. He looked at the dark sky and then at the servants in the courtyard who were holding torches and ready to set off.
"This group of unlucky little barbarians, and you, didn't we say that we would set off after daybreak?”
"Wangye, someone from the palace has sent a message. The Crown Prince, the King of Wei, and Wangye must follow His Majesty in the first wave of departure and are not allowed to slack off.”
Li Ke looked at the steward's old face that was smiling embarrassedly and really wanted to punch him.
They were going to Mount Cuihua.
It was decided before the end of the banquet yesterday that the Great Tang Right Military Guards and the Tibetan elites would have a mock battle on Mount Cuihua.
Mount Cuihua was about fifty miles away from Chang 'an. It was chosen by Cheng Zhijie and other generals. It was said that the terrain was similar to Tuyuhun.
Li Ke had no choice but to go out. When he arrived at the gate of the manor, he saw that there were only a dozen warhorses. He narrowed his eyes and turned to ask the old steward,"Where's the carriage?"
" Your Highness, the reason why we set off so early is to go to Mount Cuihua earlier. According to His Majesty's schedule, we will arrive at Mount Cuihua in the morning. Once we get down, we will have a competition. His Majesty is also riding a horse…" The steward reminded.
"Ignore him. He doesn't enjoy his blessings and likes to be abused. We don't like it. Quickly prepare the carriage and prepare a small stove in the carriage.”Li Ke interrupted the steward and ordered.
"Hey!" The steward had a helpless look on his face. Who asked His Highness to not care about His Majesty's impression of him at all?
Everyone in the residence knew that following this highness, one could forget about achieving the dao alone.
However, his highness treated everyone well and was generous. Although he would occasionally lose his temper for no reason, his mouth was poisonous and he never beat people up.
When the carriage arrived, Li Ke boarded it and left.
The figure carrying the bamboo basket appeared in the alley again.
Li Ke secretly watched. When the carriage approached, the little girl stood by the wall and bent over to carry her luggage.
Under the light of the torch, he could clearly see that the little girl was shivering in the cold before the winter dawn.
'Poor child, when you kneel down and beg this king, this king will definitely give you a life of glory and wealth.'
Li Ke put down the curtain that was opened by a small slit.
He stretched and muttered," Carriages in this era don't have shock absorption springs. It's uncomfortable without bearings."”
While swaying, Li Ke lay on a thick and soft fur cushion, half awake and half asleep, and set off under the protection of a dozen guards.
After an unknown period of time, the dazed Li Ke was woken up by the sound of a horse neighing.
Your Highness, Your Highness, I was wondering why I didn't see you all the way..." As he said that, a gust of cold air hit his face. The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Cheng Chumo came in. He put his hands on the small stove and narrowed his eyes comfortably."Your Highness, your place is still the most comfortable. On the way, I was so cold that I peed a few times.”
This bandit was not polite at all.
Li Ke kicked Cheng Chumo in disgust."Stay away from me. You've wasted all the warmth.”
As he spoke, he reached out to pull open the curtains and looked outside.
Cavalrymen were galloping everywhere.
"Your Highness, I advise you to be kind." "I'm here to tell you that His Majesty wants you to go see him." Cheng Chumo gloated.”
"Impossible, there are so many people around him, how could he notice that I'm not here…"
Ta, ta, ta…
The sound of horse hooves rang out, and a clanging sound came from outside."His Majesty has ordered His Highness Wu Wang to meet His Majesty within fifteen minutes. If he exceeds the time limit, he will be beaten thirty times!”
Hehe…
Cheng Chumo smiled.
Li Ke could only stand up. He had no doubt that the jealous Li Lao Er would beat him thirty times.
"Your Majesty, look. Below the middle of Mount Cuihua is a rugged mountainous terrain. The terrain is quite undulating, with many strange rocks, shrubs, and weeds. The top of the mountain is densely forested.”
" The Tibetan elites will be in charge of defense. We will simulate an attack. As long as we can reach the top of the mountain and occupy the commander's tent, we will win. Otherwise..."
Li Ke stealthily rode his horse over and saw Cheng Yaojin pointing at Mount Cuihua and reporting.
He took a look. Other than the high altitude that could not be simulated, the terrain of Mount Cuihua was indeed more suitable.
"Zamp, what do you think?" Li Shi Min glanced at Li Ke and ignored him. He smiled and asked Song Zan beside him.
Li Ke rolled his eyes. Tsk, I guessed right. He just doesn't like to see me.
Songzan Gambo nodded in satisfaction." It's very suitable. The only problem is the climate. On our plateau, it's very difficult to breathe freely.”
Li Ke curled his lips and cursed in his heart," Bullsh * t. You have a smooth seven orifices. That doesn't allow you to breathe freely. It's just because the air on the plateau is thin and the oxygen content is thin. A little barbarian is a little barbarian."
Li Shimin and his subjects smiled and handed it over to him.
Obviously, no one believed Songzan Gambo's words. They all thought that Songzan Gambo was deliberately exaggerating the difficulties of the plateau.
This was also the reason why the Tang Dynasty sent troops to destroy Tuyuhun, but half of the fruits of victory were snatched by Tubo.
"Royal brother, you really know how to enjoy life." Just as Li Ke was hiding at the side and watching the Tibetans and the Great Tang, one of them had little knowledge of the plateau, while the other was arrogant and didn't believe it at all, and he found it interesting, an annoying voice sounded beside him.
His voice was neither loud nor soft, but it ensured that everyone around him could hear him.
Li Ke turned around and looked at the little fatty. The little fatty was smiling. No matter how he looked at it, it seemed like he was up to no good. These words were clearly meant to remind Li Shiming.
"Royal brother, isn't life all about enjoyment? You silly child, you don't even understand this principle.”Li Ke patted Li Tai's shoulder." In a person's life, other than the love of their parents, they only have to love themselves. Father and Mother love us, so we have to love ourselves too. Silly child."”
Li Tai couldn't help but think of his mother's kindness to Li Ke, and he couldn't help but feel jealous.
Li Ke kept calling him a silly child, which made Li Tai even more furious.
He felt that during this period of time, he had no one to dote on or love him. He had been ignored and isolated.
"Since Zanpu has agreed, let's start the preparations. There's nothing to do in the morning, so everyone can move around freely. After noon, we'll start the actual confrontation. At night, we'll hold a bonfire banquet for the Tibetans.”
"Everything will be arranged by Your Majesty."
Li Tai was dumbfounded when he saw that his father had no intention of punishing Li Ke and was leading Songzan and Wenwu in the direction of the commander's tent.
In the afternoon, Li Ke quietly entered his carriage and prepared to sleep. When he was waiting for the results of the competition, he was stopped by Cheng Yaojin.
"His Majesty has ordered that His Highness, as an observer of the confrontation drill, go up the mountain to observe the actual battle!”
Li Ke's face fell.
This was clearly revenge!
"Imperial Father, why can't your son become an observer?”In the imperial tent, Li Tai questioned Li Shi Min with a face full of injustice.
Li Shi Min glanced at Li Tai, put down the book in his hand, and asked,""Are you sure you can keep up with your body size? Is it because your royal brother stepped on a pile of dog shit and you're jealous and want to taste it?”
Li Chengqian, who had just arrived at the entrance of the commander's tent and was about to ask to be an observer, almost laughed out loud. His footsteps suddenly stopped.
He looked at his left leg. With his leg condition, he was obviously not suitable to be an observer.
'Fortunately, Li Tai went first. Otherwise, I would have to fight with Li Ke for dog sh * t.'Li Chengqian turned around carefully and left quietly.
In the camp.
A small soldier sneaked up to Hou Junji and whispered,"Reporting to General, the right guard's colleagues have agreed and the Tibetan arrows have been sent out.”
