Datang: My father is the head bodyguard

Narpa escaped, and Narmo brought people and horses to rescue them. The price was more than twenty corpses that had not lost their warmth. Many people chose to kill themselves after being injured to escape Baiqisi's torture.

Narba hammered his chest in remorse. He had left these brothers brought from Tubo on a battlefield that he could not understand, but he had to live to accept it all.

Narmo looked at him coldly: "If it were so easy to get new weapons, would I still be troubled? Now that we have alerted the enemy, Zhuangzi will strengthen his defensive strength. There is no chance."

Narba was filled with regret and looked at his brother with tears in his eyes.

"You don't need to blame yourself too much. Zhuangzi's defense is very tight. There are many open and hidden sentries. You may have been discovered from the beginning. The cavalry that appeared behind should be Baiqisi. The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty protected this place. Very good." Narmo was minding his own business analyzing Zhuangzi's defensive composition.

Finally returning to their stronghold, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They heard soldiers from Baiqisi and Jingzhao Mansion checking door to door on the street outside. They were not nervous. This stronghold is a basement, and there are normal families outside. However, these families are all a mixture of Tibetan and Han people, and they look the same as Han people.

As the sounds on the street outside gradually faded, Narmo asked: "Brother, can they use new weapons and equipment this time?"

"The weapons are just divine arm crossbows. If equipped, there is a ball of light in the sky that can illuminate a large area. It is very bright, just like daytime." Narbalian gestured and described it. Ermo reported.

"Damn it, things in this village are popping up one by one, no one has ever seen them." Narmo punched the table.

Narmo sat back at the table, took out the notebook and pencil from his clothes and started writing, while Narba looked at his brother curiously.

"Go, send this letter to the old place tomorrow. Be careful not to be followed." Narmo handed the letter to a personal guard.

Li Shimin received Li Xiaogong's reward in the Manlu Hall, and another group of people appeared outside Zhuangzi with evil intentions. Half of them ran away, and the rest didn't survive. The injured ones committed suicide without any chance.

Li Shimin's face was very calm. He had already guessed that someone wanted to develop new weapons. He had already ordered that all the iron materials coming to the iron workshop in the future must have the seals of various ministers before they can be taken away.

"Are there any casualties?" Li Shimin asked Li Xiaogong calmly.

"Your Majesty, the other party fled in a hurry and only shot some horses. No one was injured or injured. They look similar to the Tubo people but not the same. I think they are mixed blood." Li Xiaogong said solemnly.

"You mean they are half Tubo and half Han, so they are intermarrying?" Li Shimin didn't understand who this group of people belonged to.

"Don't worry about this matter. Continue to ensure the safety of Zhuangzi's periphery. Report anything in time. If necessary, you can mobilize all the soldiers of Baiqisi and Jinwu Guard." Li Shimin gave Li Xiaogong great power to mobilize troops.

"Promise! Your Majesty, I will definitely protect Zhuangzi." Li Xiaogong knelt down to accept the order and left the Manlu Hall.

Seeing Li Xiaogong leave, Li Shimin sighed. What this guy did was so shocking. What kind of flare did he use today? It can make the sky as bright as day at night.

"Wang De, is there any news from the shadow guard?" Li Shimin tilted his head towards Wang De.

"Replying to your majesty, there are none at the moment. The shadow guards should still be lurking to collect clues." Wang De came out from behind the screen and reported to Li Shimin.

"It's too slow to rush the eight hundred miles to send the matter to that boy in Chang'an. I can't tell him anything in time. I'm very irritated. Is there any news about the recent road construction of the family? Are you embarrassing that boy Su Quan?" Li Shimin said casually Asked Wang De.

"The family is very honest and is building roads with peace of mind. All project sections are built strictly in accordance with Su Quan's requirements. The engineering drawings submitted by Su Quan are all roads and stations built in sections, so the progress is very fast." Wang Dehui reported on road construction.

"Su Quan is good. He is a practical person and is more diligent than his cousin. It's a pity that there is only one Yuchi Baoqi in this huge Tang Dynasty." Li Shimin sighed with emotion.

Wang De didn't speak anymore, just stood silently and lowered his head.

Li Yuan took Wang Ren into the Manna Hall and became angry when he saw Li Shimin's sad face.

"I asked you to take that brat to the border. Do you regret it now? It made me have no fun all day long. I just came back from Zhuangzi. Do you have any clues about who that group is?" Li Yuan looked at Li Shimin.

"Father, now many forces are trying to find out what the new weapons are. There is a ghost in my court, and he is a very close and important minister to me, so it is difficult to deal with it." Li Shimin felt aggrieved.

"I heard that you came up with something about the drought in Zhenguan of the Tang Dynasty. It was that boy who did it for you. I will know it at a guess. When the civil and military forces in the dynasty were obviously at a loss, you only needed to rest for three days to come up with it. Such a good strategy? When that kid comes back from the border, you will be humiliated to death by him." Li Yuan scolded Li Shimin angrily.

"Father, you don't know what he said in that drought discussion. He said that if I can't be the emperor, I should stop doing it. I will only make people miserable and become a shitty emperor. I'm not afraid of his humiliation anymore. Let him go." It didn't matter that Li Shimin was heartless.

"Besides, what if I give up the position of emperor to him? He knows how to sit? Is it just his lazy temperament?" Li Shimin was so arrogant.

"You can handle matters between your father-in-law and your son-in-law by yourselves. I came here today to tell you to protect that boy. That boy is the person who can't get into trouble the most in our Tang Dynasty. He can't get into trouble even if something happens to you, the emperor. Do you understand? "Li Yuan was about to leave after finishing speaking.

"Father, don't worry. Anyway, why don't we go to the Li Zheng Hall to play two rounds of mahjong tomorrow?" Li Shimin wanted to relieve the troubles in his heart.

"My two hours of mahjong are over today, and I still played two hours of chess. Forget it. Wang Ren, an old dog, will definitely tell the truth when that kid comes back. I know it well." Li Yuan looked at Wang Ren who dared not speak and said firmly. .

After seeing his father off, Li Shimin wanted to go out for a walk, but then thought that the palace door was locked, so he sighed and went to the Li Zheng Palace.

"Your Majesty, have you settled all the state affairs today?" Empress Changsun massaged Li Er, gently rubbing Li Shimin's temples with both hands.

"Well, it's nothing serious. Zhuangzi was attacked. There were no casualties. More than half of the people on the other side were dead and there were no survivors." Li Shimin was a little confused whether to tell the queen or not about his speculation.

Seeing that Li Shimin was hesitant to speak, Empress Changsun asked: "Your Majesty, do you have anything to say to me, but it doesn't matter."

"There is a spy in the court, and news of new weapons has been leaked to Tubo. I only told the pharmacist, Zhijie, Fuji, and Hou Junji about this matter. Among them, Fuji is the most suspicious because he is alone One person came to me for questioning." Li Shimin still expressed his suspicions.

"How could it be! Brother, is he still hostile to Baoqi? But this cannot betray the important weapon of the country!" Queen Changsun was already angry.

"It may be him who leaked the divine arm crossbow. I'm still investigating. Guanyin, don't worry, if it wasn't the auxiliary machine, I won't wrongly accuse him." Li Shimin comforted Empress Changsun.
