Since the route of travel has been confirmed, there are goals along the way.

It's not like headless flies running around.

"Li Ke, go and rest, I will talk to Zhao Chen about something." The emperor waved to Li Ke.

Can Li Ke still tell the emperor no?

He left in a hurry.

"Zhao Chen, I will tell you some of the collected information first." Old Li said to Zhao Chen, bringing a letter in his hand.

"Yuan Ji had a subordinate in Dingzhou before, and before that incident, he left Chang'an and returned to Dingzhou."

"If Yuan Ji came to Jiangnan, he would probably defect to him."

"Even if Yuan Ji is not in Dingzhou now, that person should know his location."

The emperor and Zhao Chen explained.

Zhao Chen looked at the letter in his hand and was about information about the old subordinate of Li Yuanji, Dingzhou.

Before the Xuanwu Gate Incident, this man foresaw the danger of Li Yuanji in advance.

He once persuaded Li Yuanji to be careful several times.

However, Li Yuanji believed that he and Li Jiancheng joined forces and did not take Li Shimin to heart at all.

Of course, the final outcome was that Li Yuanji shot Yuchi Gong with an arrow.

"Xue Wanche?" Zhao Chen looked at the name on the letter and was a little surprised.

"Why, do you know this person too?" Old Li looked surprised when he saw Zhao Chen's face and couldn't help but ask.

Xue Wanche is much older than Zhao Chen, and Xue Wanche has no reputation before.

When Zhao Chen heard this person’s name, how could he look so surprised?

"I just heard it once by chance. Legend has it that he is quite brave, but he just can't turn his mind."

"But it seems that's not the case." Zhao Chen smiled.

Xue Wanche is also considered a famous general of the Tang Dynasty.

Zhao Chen himself remembered that Xue Wanche hid in the deep mountains after the Xuanwu Gate Incident, and was later recruited by Li Shimin.

But the situation seems to be a little different now.

"Who told you that Xue Wanche is not very good-looking?" Old Li frowned and said, "I have sent people to Dingzhou several times and wanted to recruit Xue Wanche back to the court to serve, but he refused."

"I thought he had always been resentful of Yuanji's death at my hands, but now I think this is not the case."

"Wonji has been alive, so he will naturally not betray Wonji."

"This time I go to Dingzhou, I must carefully observe Xue Wanche. Even if Yuan Ji is not in Dingzhou, it is best to find out where he is."

Zhao Chen looked at Lao Li's head, and he felt that Lao Li's head in front of him was a little strange.

Wouldn't he be planning to meet Xue Wanche and ask himself to find Xue Wanche?

It's a bit too much!

"What, what do you mean is that you don't go to Dingzhou, let's go to Xue Wanche?" Zhao Chen narrowed his eyes at the emperor.

Zhao Chen felt that the emperor's skin had increased to a certain extent.

I followed him to Jiangnan to relax, so why did he have to meet Xue Wanche?

"Xue Wanche knows me. With his hatred for me, he will use a knife to deal with me when he sees me?"

"You still have to go to Dingzhou City."

"By the way, I heard that Xue Wanche has a beautiful daughter, about sixteen or seventeen years old. If you can take her down, it will be easy for Xue Wanche to find out some information." The emperor looked at Zhao Chen with a smile.

He didn't feel any discomfort at all because of Zhao Chen's unkind eyes.

"Are you talking about human language?" Zhao Chen asked, looking at Old Li's head.

Of course, Li Shimin was joking with Zhao Chen, but Dingzhou really had to let Zhao Chen go.

At least he, Li Shimin, must not appear in front of Xue Wanche.

Otherwise, once Xue Wanche recognizes him, he will definitely sacrifice his fortune and will do whatever he wants to do.

"Just kidding, when you go out, you will be less affected by cause and effect, but if you go there, I will wait for you outside Dingzhou City."

"When it's convenient, you can come out and discuss the next action with me." Old Li said to Zhao Chen.

"Boy, the title of Duke is not so easy to get." Li Shimin looked at Zhao Chen with a smile.

He did say at the beginning that when they returned from Jiangnan, they would grant Zhao Chen the Duke.

But, it's not that easy.

"you……"

"Hey, you kid don't care, but your wife can't say you don't care, you duke's wife is a first-rate, don't you kid think about her?" Seeing that Zhao Chen wanted to speak, Old Li immediately blocked Zhao Chen with words.

Old Li knew very well that he told Zhao Chen that something else was useless.

Only by talking about Li Ruoshuang can this guy listen carefully.

The little bastard doesn't want his father when he gets a wife.

When I reveal my identity later, I will see if I don’t deal with him properly.

Let this kid remember what fatherly love is.

Sure enough, Zhao Chen stopped talking.

Frowning seemed to be thinking about something.

"Brother Zhao, have something to eat, we will continue on the road later. By the way, when we arrive at the place in the evening, you have to arrange a comfortable room for me to sleep."

"Of course, you have to pay for this money." The emperor said to Zhao Chen with a smile.

Stand up and chew the dry food in your hands and leave.

...

Of course, Zhao Chen would not threaten Lao Li.

He really doesn't like the title of a mere Duke.

Not to mention how Lao Li would squeeze himself if he showed his interest in the duke of this country.

Even after returning from Jiangnan and becoming a Duke, he could not resist Lao Li's frequent exploitation.

Zhao Chen is not stupid.

When doing things, it’s up to you.

Let’s first agree to Lao Li on the surface, and then I will sell Lao Li’s head backwards...

Tsk tsk!

Looking at Lao Li's proud side face, Zhao Chen had a plan at that time.

The team set off quickly, and there were no surprises along the way.

Although the group was riding horses, it was eye-catching, but fortunately, they knew that there were not many people in the emperor's tour of Jiangnan.

As for the officials along the way, that's different.

On the first day after leaving Chang'an City, the emperor and his party were welcomed into the city by the governor of Puzhou.

I didn't have the chance to stay in any inn.

The next morning, the emperor hurriedly left Puzhou without even calling the governor of Puzhou.

The group changed their appearance again, and many students from academy even sold their horses.

It was time to change a carriage and buy some local goods.

It was disguised as a caravan.

At least if you enter the city, you will not be invited by local officials again.

Ten days later, it was the end of the first month, the weather was getting warmer, and green could be seen everywhere on both sides of the official road.

Farmers have begun to cultivate land in fields everywhere and prepare for sowing this year.

"Brother Zhao, get up, sleep all the way, come down to go to the fields with me." Old Li kicked Zhao Chen's butt with his feet.

He looks like he is so sorry that he can't turn out to be steel.

Since changing the carriage, Zhao Chen has stopped riding a horse, and even lying on the carriage, he never took him away.

Originally, the emperor gave himself a rest, but Zhao Chen occupied the magpies' nest.

Several times the emperor slept outside the carriage by Zhao Chen at night.

"What's so good about the fields? Don't you farm yourself in the palace every year? It's not the first time you meet me." Zhao Chen didn't want to follow him.

Going to the fields, you must be covered in mud.

How comfortable is lying here?

"Since ascending the throne, I have never come out. The situation outside Chang'an is all based on the memorials of the ministers."
