Li Shimin did not take credit for this, but solemnly said: "If I only rely on my own strength, I cannot stop all the spies from the aristocratic family. This matter was done by my eldest brother and I, but the two parties did not discuss it in advance.

We both discovered this hidden danger temporarily, and each of us urgently sent a letter and issued an order, so the spies sent to Hebei were ruthless and killed all the spies from the aristocratic families who also went to inquire about Xiuning."

Princess Changsun nodded again and said sincerely: "You and eldest brother treat Xiuning with true love to the core."

Li Shimin glanced at her and suddenly joked: "As a sister-in-law, aren't you the same? Just now you were shouting that you wanted to trick the girl back!"

He was obviously talking and laughing with his wife, but his tone suddenly changed to a bleak tone, and he said with some sadness: "You also understand now that Xiuning has a deep misunderstanding of her family. She would rather bear the embarrassment of her seniority herself than give it to Gu.

Tianya has put a layer of identity protection on her to protect us, so how can she still be deceived? If you want to deceive her back and keep her safe, I'm afraid that girl will first wonder if it's my brother who wants to do something."

Princess Changsun immediately became worried.

After a long time passed, she spoke softly and asked in a low voice: "Is there any news from father and brother?"

Li Shimin didn't hide anything from her and nodded directly: "Yes!"

As he spoke, he glanced in the direction of Chang'an, and suddenly snorted coldly, saying: "What the eldest brother means is to let Xiu Ning go and do it. What the father means is that he thinks this is an opportunity. Although the father and the eldest brother are also very worried about Xiu Ning,

Ning, but I really want to see if Xiu Ning will succeed..."

This was said with quite a bit of resentment.

Princess Changsun hesitated for a moment, then whispered again: "You are the only one who has seen the furthest. You thought in advance that the family might collude with the Turks, so you are most worried about Xiuning, and that's why you have resentment. Isn't that right?"

As a sister-in-law, she was also worried about her sister-in-law, so she couldn't help but say again: "But Sister Xiuning is determined to accompany that boy, but the boy is encouraging her to go against the family. This is... this is...

What to do."

Li Shimin suddenly raised his eyebrows, his eyes were full of murderous intent, and he said solemnly: "Even if my sister is stupid, she can't be bullied by others. Although my sister has chosen an idiot who doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth, he will become me, Li Shimin, after all.

My brother-in-law, now that the young couple has decided to do this, I, the older brother, can only help clear up the end... So what if the Hebei family is arrogant? When Dou Jiande dominated Hebei, it was even worse. I dared to fight Dou Jiande back then.

How can we be afraid of those aristocratic families in Hebei now if we fight hard?"

As he spoke, he suddenly turned around, shouted at the meeting hall not far behind him, and said, "Yuchi Jingde, did you hear that clearly?"

However, a dark-faced man suddenly appeared at the door and said in a loud voice: "Your Highness, your subordinates heard clearly."

Li Shimin's eyes flashed and he said in a deep voice: "Hebei, you are familiar with it!"

Yuchi Jingde didn't say much, and said again in a loud voice: "It's cooked!"

Li Shimin asked again: "Is five thousand mysterious armored cavalry enough?"

Yuchi Jingde stood up and said in a deep voice: "As long as my subordinates don't die, the Turkic cavalry will not be able to enter Hebei."

While the two were asking and answering, a military order had been issued, which was clearly to lead the Xuanjia cavalry to attack the Hebei border in case the aristocratic family would collude with the Turks to go south to threaten Li Xiuning.

After the military order was issued, Li Shimin looked into the meeting hall and shouted in a deep voice: "Mr. Mao, you know your integrity..."

Two figures appeared at the door again, and they were Xu Shiji and Cheng Yaojin.

The two of them did not speak after they appeared, but stood quietly next to Yuchi Jingde.

Li Shimin pondered for a moment, then asked: "How many troops are available in Guanzhong now?"

Xu Shiji did not hesitate and said in a deep voice: "Two thousand cavalry and forty thousand infantry. If we force the deployment, we can make up about forty-five thousand infantry."

Li Shimin waved his arm and said in a deep voice: "Go and help Xiuning."

As for how to help, he did not elaborate.

But Xu Shiji nodded and said slowly and carefully: "My subordinates and Cheng Zhijie each led half of the troops and went to Niangziguan and Yanmen respectively to replace the Niangzi Army stationed there so that the princess could free up available troops."

This was not only to prevent the Turks from moving south, but also to allow Li Xiuning to have some more soldiers and horses at his disposal.

Li Shimin calculated in his mind and found no omissions for the time being, so he nodded slightly and said to Xu Shiji: "You are a commander-in-chief, so I will act according to your wishes."

Xu Shiji and Cheng Yaojin clasped their fists and saluted at the same time, thus accepting the military order.

Li Shimin thought for a while, and there seemed to be some hesitation in his eyes, but his hesitation was only for a moment, and he quickly called out another name and whispered: "Second Brother Qin!"

Another figure flashed at the door, and a man with a yellow face appeared.

Li Shimin gave orders to others, but he bowed his hands to the yellow-faced man and said slowly: "Second brother Qin, I am worried about something. My sister has been in battle for a long time and is quite alert to dangerous things, but , there is a young man but..."

He hesitated for a moment, then added: "The family is ruthless and there are some things that must be guarded against. After all, that boy was born in poverty. He definitely has no experience in this area!"

After finishing speaking, he bowed his hands again and said to the yellow-faced man: "Brother Qin, please."

Only then did everyone understand that Li Shimin, a maniac who doted on his sister, was so meticulous that he actually gave Qin Qiong a gift in person just to let Qin Qiong protect a poor boy who was not necessarily his brother-in-law.

The yellow-faced man is Qin Qiong, who is almost regarded as the most valiant general in the entire Tiance Mansion. Not only is this man good at military conquests, but he is also a first-rate figure in single combat.

Qin Qiong was an upright person and the most loyal in his life. He nodded without hesitation and said solemnly: "Your Highness, don't worry, I will leave for Gujia Village in Hebei Province immediately. As long as I am not dead, no one can touch him." Fingers.”

Li Shimin obviously breathed a sigh of relief, but he followed up with another warning, slightly embarrassed: "It would be best if Brother Qin could hide his identity."

Qin Qiong was slightly startled and said subconsciously: "Princess, she knows me!"

Li Shimin patted his forehead helplessly and said: "Second brother, don't worry, she will help you hide it. As long as you don't tell yourself, she will definitely pretend not to know you."

Qin Qiong thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Then I will pretend to be a man fleeing from famine and go to the Gujiacun Station to beg for a job..."

Li Shimin was very apologetic, and he bowed his hands for the third time and said: "This incident has embarrassed my second brother. Shimin will definitely repay you generously in the future."

Qin Qiong slowly shook his head and said solemnly: "That young man wants to touch the aristocratic family for the benefit of the people of Hebei. For this reason alone, Qin has to protect him."

After saying that, he raised his hands to say goodbye, and then strode into the wind and snow. Not long after, a horse's neighing sound was heard in the distance.

At this point, Luoyang Tiance Mansion was in full swing.

Over in Chang'an, Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng have also begun to prepare for trouble in the court.

This time, there will definitely be another storm.

…

Hebei, Miyun County.

Gu Tianya and Zhao Ning have returned to Gujiacun and are currently discussing matters with the soldiers overnight.

But I saw Gu Tianya holding a stack of thick papers in his hand, handing them out one by one to the soldiers at the Gujiacun Station.

His face was full of solemnity, and he said to everyone very solemnly: "Brothers, we are going to start tomorrow. Get your respective identity documents. Everything must be done according to the plan. Will it succeed this time? Can it be successful?"

Cut out some meat from the aristocratic family, and the people of Hebei Province are all looking at us..."

Everyone agreed with a roar, and everyone looked determined.
