Chapter 95

"Your Majesty, if this thief truly bypassed the route from the Turks, according to the time, he should have already entered the Turkic territory."

Li Ji stood out and said.

His meaning was very clear.

Wasting manpower and resources to search within the country now was of no help.

"Zhao Duke, how is the arrangement for the grain and military funds I asked you to raise?"

Li Er could no longer bear it; he wished he could immediately lead 300,000 troops to the gates of Tibet.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, your subject has not dared to delay day or night, and has already raised all the grain and military funds for the 300,000 troops two days ago."

Zhangsun Wuji said, cupping his hands.

"Good!"

"Pass the order down: three days from now, I will personally head to Jiannan Circuit and swear to fight the thief to the death!"

Li Er made up his mind and ordered loudly.

"Obey the decree!"

Everyone agreed and went down to prepare.

Three days later.

Changancheng gate.

Crowds surged, and banners fluttered!

Li Er was clad in golden dragon armor, looking radiant.

Behind him.

Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde, Qin Qiong, and other generals had serious expressions.

Li Chengqian and Zhangsun Wuji led the civil and military officials to see him off.

Not far away.

A cage looked very eye-catching.

Inside sat a person, disheveled and listless.

This person was Fang Xuanling!

Li Er brought him along on this expedition.

Fang Xuanling sat in the cage, looking at the scene before him, and closed his eyes in pain.

War...

It had finally broken out!

Li Er, in front of the city gate, felt the wind blowing in his face and suddenly felt a sense of heroism in his heart.

Since ascending the throne, he had never ridden a warhorse again.

At this moment.

The passion of once conquering the battlefield revived in his blood.

"The time has come; we respectfully see off Your Majesty!"

Zhangsun Wuji shouted loudly.

The officials bowed and saluted one after another.

"Wuji, I leave the Crown Prince and the capital to you."

Li Er looked at Zhangsun Wuji and said solemnly.

In the end.

Zhangsun Wuji was still the head of the hundred officials and also the subject Li Er trusted most.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured; your subject will definitely exhaust his efforts until his heart stops!"

Zhangsun Wuji straightened his back and promised Li Er.

"Hmm." Li Er nodded with satisfaction, then said to Li Chengqian, who was bowing his head in silence: "During my expedition, you must discuss matters with your uncle and the civil and military officials in the court; do not be negligent."

"Ah? Oh! Your son obeys the decree!"

Li Chengqian, who had always been dull, didn't seem to understand the situation and only knew how to nod and say yes.

Looking at this short and fat son of his, Li Er couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Sigh!

I am about to go on an expedition, and this child doesn't even have a word of concern.

"Chengqian, during my expedition, you must discuss matters with your uncle and the civil and military officials in the court; do not be negligent."

"Your Majesty, please rest assured; with your subject here, the Crown Prince will definitely handle the state affairs well."

Sensing the disappointment in Li Er's eyes, Zhangsun Wuji hurriedly smoothed things over.

"That would be good."

"Set off!"

Li Er didn't want to think about anything else, waved his hand, and slowly left Changancheng with the army and the generals.

I don't know how much time passed.

The figures of Li Er and the others gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Uncle, Father has already gone far; can we go back now?"

"My legs are numb from standing."

Li Chengqian, who had been pampered since childhood, muttered with an unhappy face.

So annoying!

If you want to go on an expedition, just go!

Why did you have to make me see you off!

I'm still busy playing with crickets with the eunuchs in the East Palace.

Zhangsun Wuji glanced at Li Chengqian with some disgust.

Your father is out there risking his life, your mother has been kidnapped by thieves, and her life or death is still unknown.
