Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 196
Puzhou is not too far from Chang'an, half a day is enough if you are riding a horse, but considering that Liu Bing and Han Liushi in the carriage can't stand the bumps, Gao Ming can only slow down the speed, so he waited until it was dark. Only then returned to Chang'an.

The curfew in Chang'an City started on the second watch, that is, around nine o'clock in the evening. When Gao Ming and the others returned to Chang'an, the city gates had already been closed.

Looking at the closed city gate, Gao Ming stopped the Baiqiwei who were about to call the gate, and then took a group of people to the Furong Garden outside the Mingde Gate to rest, and did not return with Hu Zi and Liu Bing until the next morning. the palace.

After entering the palace, Liu Bing was carried back to rest by his eunuchs, while Gao Ming took the tiger to the Forbidden Garden.

Before entering the courtyard of the imperial study, Gao Ming noticed something different. He saw that all the Qianniuwei standing guard in the Forbidden Garden were holding a large black crossbow in their hands. Gao Ming took a closer look. Was it the god arm crossbow he made back then?
"Tsk tsk, it's only been a few days, and this thing has already become popular in the palace?"

Gao Ming sighed and walked towards the imperial study, but just after he entered the gate of the yard, he heard two "bang bang" sounds of heavy objects falling to the ground.

"what happened?"

Out of curiosity, Gao Ming couldn't help but look back, at this glance, Gao Ming was dumbfounded.

I saw that the two Qianniuwei warriors who were originally majestic and majestic were already lying on the ground and their personnel were unknown. It seemed that they had received a sudden attack.

At this time, Gao Ming turned his attention to Hu Zi again, but found that he was standing there like a normal person. Seeing Gao Ming looked at him, he grinned at Gao Ming, looking very silly and cute.

Seeing this scene, Gao Ming's eyes twitched twice.

"Huzi, why are you beating someone?"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Huzi immediately put away his smiling face, and then showed an angry look.

"I have promised my mother to protect you, but they won't let me in!"

Hearing Huzi's answer, Gao Ming patted his head in distress, and then sighed.

"Oh, it's my fault that I didn't tell you, well, listen to me, I'm safe now, so you just stand obediently at the door and wait for me to come out, you are not allowed to do anything with others, you understand?"

"Ok!"

Seeing Hu Zi nodding, Gao Ming shook his head helplessly, then walked into the yard alone, and then directly into the imperial study.

As usual, at this time Li Shimin was dealing with government affairs in the imperial study. Seeing Gao Ming coming in, he just looked up at Gao Ming, then lowered his head and continued to do his own business.

Seeing this scene, Gao Ming suddenly coughed twice in embarrassment.

"Ahem...Old man, I'm back."

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Shimin didn't raise his head, but just agreed lightly.

"Ok!"

"..."

So cold, isn't it?
At this moment, Gao Ming really wanted to snort coldly and walk away, but his rationality told him not to do so, because he could only smack his lips again.

"Tsk...uh...Actually, I came here to tell you that the development in Jinzhou is not bad. If there is nothing wrong, I will go back first."

"Ok!"

Seeing Li Shimin's indifference, Gao Ming sighed helplessly. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly thought of something, and quickly opened his mouth to Li Shimin again.

"There is another thing, that is, I have taken a personal guard in Jinzhou. There is nothing wrong with the details, but the brain is not very bright. In order to follow and protect me, I also knocked down the two Qianniu guards at your door. I have already Let him wait outside the yard."

As soon as Gao Ming finished speaking, Li Shimin immediately raised his head.

"You said your personal guards knocked down the two Qianniu guards at the gate? When?"

Seeing Li Shimin's surprised look, Gao Ming immediately shrugged.

"That's when I walked in just now."

As soon as Gao Ming finished speaking, Li Shimin gasped.

"Hiss...impossible, I didn't hear anything just now!"

Li Shimin was really shocked at this time, because the Qianniuwei guarding the door of the imperial study room were all at the level of a centurion, not to mention that one counts as ten, but no matter how bad it is, it is impossible to be knocked down by others without saying a word, right?
Gao Ming also saw Li Shimin's surprise, and he immediately smiled smugly.

"Actually, it's not that your Qianniu Guards are too incompetent, it's just that their strength is too different from my personal guards, so they were knocked out in an instant, and naturally they didn't have a chance to make a sound."

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Shimin immediately stood up.

"Seriously? Then you call him in, and I want to see what kind of person it is that can make my Qianniuwei be knocked down without even being able to make a sound."

Speaking of this, before Li Shimin waited for Gao Ming to speak, he waved at him again.

"Forget it, let me go and see for myself!"

Li Shimin walked out while talking, and Gao Ming couldn't help laughing when he walked out of the gate of the imperial study.

"Hey, you can't sit still now, can you?"

The ethos of martial arts in the Tang Dynasty is from top to bottom, and Li Shimin himself has been on the battlefield. An emperor like him is very important to generals.

In the era of cold weapons, a war is not only about strategy and weaponry, but more importantly, morale. A general with a high force value can greatly inspire soldiers on the battlefield.

This is why people say "a raging soldier, a raging nest".

But all emperors who have experienced wars have a special feeling for generals, because generals can fight for him, open up territories for him, and defeat powerful enemies from all directions.

Li Shimin has experienced wars, and he has led soldiers and horses to fight in all directions, so he also loves those powerful generals, among which Luo Shixin is the most.

Luo Shixin was originally the deputy general of Sui general Zhang Xutuo. He was brave and good at fighting. Later, he followed Li Shimin and helped Li Shimin pacify Luoyang, which won Li Shimin's respect.

Later, after Luo Shixin was defeated and killed by Liu Heita, Li Shimin was very sad, and he redeemed his body with a lot of money and buried him.

Li Shimin likes fierce generals, and he prefers loyal fierce generals, so Li Shimin was immediately curious when he heard Gao Ming say that his personal guards could stun two Qianniuwei warriors in an instant.

"What kind of person will he be?"

As soon as he walked to the gate of the yard, Li Shimin saw the two Qianniuwei warriors lying on the ground, and the tall and burly Hu Zi. Now he was finally sure that Gao Ming was not lying.

"Such characters can indeed easily defeat my Qianniuwei."

Thinking of this, Li Shimin immediately asked Hu Zi.

"You are the prince's personal guard, right? What's your name, and where are you from?"

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Huzi immediately lowered his head and glanced at him, then immediately turned his head to the side, as if I didn't want to talk to you.

Seeing this scene, Li Shimin was dumbfounded.

"you……"

After being ignored, Li Shimin was already a little angry, but Huzi's next words immediately made him lose his temper.

"I'm protecting the prince, so don't get close to me."

"..."

close?I get close to you?

Now Li Shimin understands why Gao Ming said before that he, the bodyguard, is not very smart.
Gao Ming also arrived at this time, and when he heard that Huzi asked Li Shimin not to get close to him, Gao Ming suddenly showed a face of dumbfounding.

"This guy really dares to say it."

In order to prevent Li Shimin from losing his face, before he could get angry, Gao Ming stepped forward and kicked Huzi directly.

"Bastard, this is the current Holy Majesty, why don't you salute quickly?"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Hu Zi quickly knelt down on one knee, and then saluted Li Shimin with his fists in his hands. Seeing how obedient he was, Gao Ming smiled with satisfaction.

"This guy is short-sighted, and he doesn't know your identity, so don't be as knowledgeable as him."

Li Shimin was indeed a little embarrassed at first, but he nodded when he saw that Gao Ming gave him a step down.

"Well, those who don't know are innocent, get up!"

After Li Shimin finished speaking, seeing that the tiger hadn't moved, he immediately frowned. Seeing this scene, Gao Ming quickly kicked him again.

"Didn't you hear me tell you to get up? Get up quickly."

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Hu Zi chuckled and stood up.

Seeing this scene, Li Shimin finally understood that this Huzi was not only short-hearted, but also only listened to Gao Ming, so he immediately gave Gao Ming a look.

"What's his name, and what weapon is he good at?"

Seeing Li Shimin's unfriendly expression, Gao Ming suddenly felt helpless.

You are deflated yourself, what's wrong with me?

Although he was very disapproving in his heart, Gao Ming answered Li Shimin respectfully on the surface.

"His surname is Han. After following me, I named him Li Hu."

As soon as Gao Ming finished speaking, Li Shimin glared at him immediately.

"What did you say his name was?"

For Li Shimin's reaction, Gao Ming had expected it, and he immediately smiled at Li Shimin.

"A tiger that is not a tiger is a bluff."

Hearing Gao Ming's answer, Li Shimin snorted coldly.

"Hmph, you're not so confused, I thought you even forgot your great-grandfather's name!"

As soon as Li Shimin's words fell, Gao Ming's cold sweat broke out immediately, because he didn't forget, but he didn't know it at all!
"It's dangerous. Fortunately, that boy Li Goudan reminded me, otherwise I will be in trouble at this time."

Thinking of this, Gao Ming laughed dryly twice.

"Uh... Hehe, why did you forget this? By the way, didn't you just ask him what kind of weapon he is good at? In fact, he used to hit him directly with stones, and he could kill a horse a hundred steps away with a stone. , now it's time to use a sledgehammer, and a pair of sledgehammers weigh three stones?"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Shimin's eyes widened.

"How much did you say? Three stones?"

Seeing Li Shimin's shocked look, Gao Ming nodded again.

"That's right, it's Sanshi. Because of this, I haven't been able to find a suitable horse for him until now. Didn't you say last time that you have a horse named Lion Cong that no one can tame? Or let him try ?”

"Lion Cong?"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Shimin's eyes lit up immediately.
