Chapter 99 – Li Chengqian’s Small Minds
After leaving the barracks, Xue Rengui led a group of teenagers to Baqiao quickly.
Their targets this time were the three groups of bandits at Yushun Mountain, 150 kilometers away from Chang’an, 110 kilometers south of Lantian’s territory, and 80 kilometers north of Lantian’s territory.
The goal of this time is to wipe out these three groups of bandits.
Originally, when Li Chengqian designed this plan, he did not put the target in the vicinity of Chang’an, in his mind, these places are unlikely to have robbers, but Zhang Gao’s intelligence network and Mo Li around the news, are once again told Li Chengqian, the most dangerous place, is often the safest, but also proved that collusion between the government and the banditry is the best and the fastest way to get rich.
So in the end, Li Chengqian set his goal in these three places, and Mo Li and a team of 100 riders not only those teenagers are invigilators, but also with the mission, that is to capture the Lantian county magistrate and the county magistrate, the chief bookkeeper of the three people.
”No.2 No.3, we brothers bid farewell here, Wan Xiang all brothers take care” After crossing the Ba Bridge, Xue Rengui and the other 2 teams of teenagers exchanged goodbyes, and then led the teenagers of this team at the fastest speed, and set off towards the furthest target of this time, Yushun Mountain.
After these teenagers parted ways, Mo Li and a group of 100 horsemen, who were following them, also quickly parted ways and chased after one team of teenagers each.
And at this time in the barracks, an unexpected person was welcomed, he was the Son of Heaven of the Great Tang, the future Heavenly Khan Li Shimin.
”Wu An, you see this barracks built like that, is not that the prince collected the juvenile soldiers, there is still training in this winter? How can there be no movement at all, what’s going on” Li Shimin dismounted, looked at the quiet point not far away from the barracks, and asked Zhang Shigui, who accompanied him, in a puzzled manner.
”Your Majesty, at this time I also do not know, or I go over to ask” Hearing Li Shimin’s words, Zhang Shigui also said I do not know.
”Forget it, I’ll go in and take a look myself! This crown prince does not return to the palace for many days, I really miss him a little bit” said Li Shimin, leading Zhang Shigui and a group of hundred horsemen while enjoying the beautiful scenery of Cuihua Mountain, while walking towards the barracks.
And at this time do not know their old man to come three brothers, is in the room playing five pieces of chess.
But Li Ke and Li Tai in the next, Li Chengqian lying on the bed looking at, would have wanted to play Li Chengqian, Li Ke Li Tai is not to bring him to play, as to why, not because they are angry at Li Chengqian.
They blame Li Chengqian this mission not let them go, would have been such a time, the two of them dare to do so, Li Chengqian will beat them, but who let him now is a sick, move a bit of pain, he can only climb on the bed like this dry eyes.
What’s even more irritating is that obviously 3 people can play backgammon, they just don’t bring him along, and also put the board on the place where he can see see, just don’t bring them together.

”I don’t want to take you, why do you take you, what have you done in your own heart don’t you know? Still take you, we stupid ah, hum, the old four don’t care about big brother, we play” said Li Ke Li Tai and play up.
And see their own brother is not to bring their own play, have the heart to say not to bring not to bring, I sleep always okay, but these two bastards, even sleep also not let him feel at ease, the sound of the thief.
Just when Li Chengqian couldn’t stand it anymore and was ready to get mad, the door to his room was opened.

”Father.”
”Gao Ming, what’s wrong with you, why climb on the bed” Li Shimin casually looked at the barracks, did not see those teenagers, heard the sound in Li Chengqian’s room, straight to let the guards open the door to come in, but once he came in to see his son’s back was wrapped up and climbed on the bed, he was worried about the question.
