Li Tai was very anxious. He didn't know where and when Li Chengqian would send people to attack him. Since Fang Zhenzhu reminded him, it must be true.
"Okay, stop nagging, we have to go on the road tomorrow."
He said impatiently and went back to the bedroom to rest.
"King Wei, I don't know when you will be able to return to the capital. Why don't you go and pay homage to General Yuchi?"
Li Tai turned around and said, "I won't go, I'm not in the mood."
"It was fine just now, but why did it change after a while? Did the Crown Princess say something to you?"
"No, can you please stop making random suspicions?"
Zhou Ruhua said unhappily: "It's up to you and your freedom whether you want to go or not. I'm just kindly reminding you. Don't mistake my kindness for a donkey's liver and lungs."
It's better to say goodbye to Qin Qiong, maybe you can learn some tricks from him.
Thinking of this, he sat up, took his coat and walked out.
"What are you going for? Shall I go with you?"
Li Tai waved his hand impatiently and said, "No, I'll go to General Qin's house."
"Okay, go early and come back early."
Li Tai didn't even reply. He leaned on the corner outside the house, wanting to hear what the two women were talking about him.
"Look at your tone, as if you two are a couple."
"Hazy, stop talking nonsense. As slaves, it is our duty to take good care of our master."
"No, the way you talk to him is different from others. Ruhua, tell me, are you already..."
Zhou Ruhua suddenly blushed with embarrassment and retorted: "Why are you different from others? Hazy, are you interested in King Wei? Otherwise, you wouldn't have come here so shamelessly?"
He sighed vaguely and said: "It's a pity that the falling flowers are careless, but the flowing water is ruthless."
"Can you tell me why you are like this?"
"Which of the maids in the palace doesn't want to be the prince's wife? King Wei is so favored that one day he may sit in the Tai Chi Palace."
"No way? The prince has already been established, how can he get his turn?"
Mengwu said: "Everything is subject to change, how can anything remain the same?"
Li Tai felt refreshed after hearing this. Yes, things will not remain unchanged. Li Chengqian is the prince now and may not be the prince in the future.
Never give up hope at any time.
He came to the stables, told the boy to call Wang Xiaoyang, and then the two of them rode out of the palace.
Qin Qiong was practicing martial arts and when he heard Li Tai coming, he immediately came out to greet him.
Because of his health, Li Shimin exempted him from going to court.
"I didn't know that when King Wei came, he was far away to welcome him."
Li Tai grabbed Qin Qiong's hand and said, "Master Qin, I am going to Xidu Mansion to say goodbye to you."
Qin Qiong was surprised and asked: "Is there such a thing? Your father has so many sons, why do you always have to send you out of the capital? If something goes wrong when you go out, there is no regret medicine."
"There will always be sacrifices. As a prince, it is my duty to serve the country."
The two of them entered the house one after another. Li Taihaha and Wang Xiaoyang went to play with the servants from the Qin house and said they would notify him when they left.
He thought a lot along the way, and he must win over Qin Qiong's sympathy and let him teach him the Qin family's best tricks in full to prevent unexpected events on the road.
"That's nice to say, can a dead person be resurrected? Next time I have a chance, I will definitely advise your father. We are all our own children, so we can't favor one over another."
When Li Tai heard this, he realized that Qin Qiong was really kind to him, and he burst into tears as soon as he held her.
"What's wrong with you? I didn't say anything, why are you still crying?"
Li Tai knelt down with a plop and said, "Master, I came to see you today because I have something to ask you."
Qin Qiong helped him up and said, "What can you ask me for? You are the most noble person in the world. Now I have failed."
"No, you are the best person in the world at all times. Master, let's go to the martial arts training ground. I'm afraid the walls have ears here."
Li Tai pulled Qin Qiong and came to the martial arts training ground.
Qin Yu dismissed all the servants and asked him: "What is going on? Tell me."
"Master, the prince wants to harm me."
Qin Qiong's brows knitted together and said, "Will something like this happen again?"
"Yes, when I go to Xidu Mansion this time, he has already planned to have someone kill me on the way. Master, I have heard for a long time that the Qin family's tricks are invincible. Can you teach me a few tricks so that I can defend myself?"
Qin Qiong nodded and said: "I strongly opposed the Xuanwu Gate change that day, but your father was determined to win, so he alienated me a lot. Don't you know that if the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, he himself has not set a good example.
How can you teach your own children a good lesson? However, I will teach you the best tricks, and you can only use them to defend yourself and never kill anyone."
Li Tai couldn't care about anything else and agreed wholeheartedly.
After learning the best three moves of the Qin family, Li Tai took his leave.
Among Li Shimin's generals, his favorite was Qin Qiong, for his chivalrous courage and his loyalty to love.
Although Yuchi Jingde made great contributions to Li Shimin in the Xuanwu Gate Incident, he was a rough man with no self-restraint. He already had a wife and married two ladies, black and white. If he hadn't helped Li Shimin at the critical moment, he would have been in trouble in the future.
He will not be ranked in front of the generals in Lingyan Pavilion.
Early the next morning, he and Wei Zheng, their son-in-law, set out.
Zhou Ruhua accompanied her as a personal maid, and Wang Xiaoyang also came with her.
After two days of hurried journey, we rested at a post station called Luogu.
In order to avoid accidents, he chose to take the main road and never set foot on those dangerous roads.
In the evening, Zhou Ruhua got tired from riding and went to bed early. Wei Zheng also said that he wanted to be alone.
He took a shower and lay down, thinking that it had been two days and everything was fine. Could it be that Fang Zhenzhu had sent the wrong news? Li Chengqian had no intention of harming him.
As soon as he closed his eyes, he felt a figure falling gently in front of his bed. Before he could open his eyes, he felt a palm force coming towards him.
"who?"
He stopped shouting, but he felt a force coming from the side and forced the force back. He opened his eyes and was about to shout when he heard a deep voice: "Stop!"
There was a "hiss" sound, the sound of clothes being torn, and then the sound of "plop" as he fell to his knees.
"General Qin, spare your life!"
Li Tai heard the sound and quickly sat up. Sure enough, he saw Qin Qiong standing there, with the jade tree facing the wind, and the man kneeling in front of him trembling.
"Who are you? You are so brave that you dare to assassinate me?"
Li Tai shouted, raised his sword and was about to strike.
"Wait a minute! King Wei cannot kill him. You have to ask who is behind it?"
When Li Tai heard this, he thought, yes, wasn't this a plan to overthrow Li Chengqian? How stupid.
