400.

Shocked by the side of the road

Li Pojun took his five hundred guards all the way to gallop, and arrived at Lan/Tian in less than an hour and a half.

Seeing that it was lunch time, he rested for a while in a roadside tea shed on the street, and instructed the store to put on a few large buckets of porridge water, a large bucket of porridge water is afraid that it is no more than a small bottle of millet rice, but it is finally a little rice soup, and the five hundred relatives who have eaten in the morning will drink a few bowls of rice soup at this time, but they are also full, Li Pojun is worried about the matter of Bailu, and he hastily eats a vegetable leaf rice ball and has no appetite.

At this time, a peddler at the adjacent table who was carrying a burden said: "Hey, yesterday, there was an army in Bailu Town, which has never been very popular, do you know what happened?"

"Hey, don't say it, I went to Jiashan yesterday to chop firewood, and I also saw it, tsk, the iron armor is bright, and the knife and gun look like a good guy with a good iron calcine." A woodcutter with a firewood knife at his waist also said.

"What do you say such a powerful army is doing in Bailu? There has never been a garrison anywhere."

"Oh, this military event, let's not be scared, those things have their own meat eaters to do, let's still worry about what we can eat at night."

"What are you afraid of, when will our Datang be offended for his words, it's okay to be scared." The spirited peddler listened straight to his chest.

Li Pojun also smiled when he heard this, this is my people of the Tang Dynasty, not the servile people of the Braided Dynasty who are afraid to even speak, this is the enlightened Tang Dynasty.

At this time, the owner of the tea shed who poured water next to him said a word, but Li Pojun was really taken aback.

The owner of the tea shed was an old man, and he could hear the conversation of the peddler and woodcutter, and carried a boiling black kettle to add water, and said bluntly: "I heard that half a month ago, that white deer made trouble with the bandits and robbed a big household, and this army may have gone to fight those bandits."

The peddler heard this, and said angrily: "No wonder, you said that these damned thieves, even if they have no food to eat, they can't do this deed that hurts the heavens and harms the heavens and insults the ancestors, besides, the saint is merciful, there is always relief food being distributed, and although His Royal Highness the prince is young, he also thinks about our people, and he gives porridge at the east gate of Chang'an, which is also hungry and does not die, and runs to harm people, my mother-in-law's ............."

Li Pojun was in no mood to listen to it anymore, even if the peddler still praised him, he thought to himself, Bailu Town was really robbed? Big White Deer? Where he knows, this county is sparsely populated, the white deer is almost gone, they have all fled, where is the big household, the only big household is the compound where Li Lin and Li Ran are stationed......

Thinking of this, Li Pojun got up, walked to the old man in the tea shed, bowed and asked, "Uncle, tell me about the Bailu bandit, what is the situation, thank you, boy."

The old man was stunned for a moment, looking at Li Pojun's luxuriously dressed clothes, and there were five hundred sergeants with swords and armor over there, and he was also frightened.

Hearing Li Pojun's question, the old man also said bluntly: "Don't dare, don't dare, son, sit down first, the old man knows everything he knows."

Li Pojun also sat down immediately, "Boss, please speak."

"The old man also heard what people said, half a month ago in the evening, a group of bandits came down from the mountain, the number is not clear, robbed a large family in Bailu, killed a lot of people, what is strange is that the big family of Bailu actually raised a lot of masons, I don't know what to do, there are also a lot of strong men in the big family, I heard that the movement of the fight is not small, so that a few fellow villagers who returned to their hometown heard it and reported to the official, and the old man listened to what they said."

The old man in the tea shed saw that Li Pojun was a rich and noble son, so he stood with his hands tied and said.

Li Pojun frowned when he heard this, that's right, it's them, Li Lin and they were really attacked.

immediately said, "Thank you, uncle." He turned around again and said, "Chen Kang, pay the bill." After that, he turned around and got on the horse, Chen Kang paid the bill, and a group of more than 500 people rushed to Bailu Town.

After Li Pojun got on the horse and left, the old man withdrew his dull gaze, but suddenly knelt down and said, "The old man respectfully sends His Royal Highness the Prince."

The crowd behind him who sat down to rest and enjoy the shade was shocked, and the peddler hurriedly got up and glared and said, "Old Dengtou, what do you say?"

The old man named Lao Deng got up at this time, and said in shock: "The old man is just close, and he can see it clearly, that Lang Jun's forehead is tied with a dragon-shaped wipes inlaid with gold and jade, and the cuffs are tattooed with dragon patterns, isn't that young man His Royal Highness the Prince?"

When everyone heard this, they were also surprised, and the peddler was also a person who often walked Chang'an City, and he also said: "That's it, when I was in Chang'an, I heard that although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is young, he is a handsome among people, even if he treats the palace maid eunuchs, he is also polite, and he was born with a dragon pattern on his forehead, so it must be."

Li Pojun has already left, leaving only a group of passers-by to sigh in place.

Li Pojun galloped straight to the horse, and the five hundred guards behind him hurriedly ran slowly, fortunately, they rested for a while, and their physical strength was also restored, and this short distance of more than ten miles could stand up.

After a while, he saw the entrance of Bailu Town, and Li Pojun looked at the quiet town, and his face was also very gloomy.

When I entered the town, a group of armed troops came out of the town, guarding the entrance of the town, and the person at the head should be a team, "Who is coming?" ”

Li Pojun took a look, Xuanwu Gate Su Guard? It seems that Li Junxian is guarding here.

Li Pojun immediately hit his horse and shouted: "I am the crown prince Li Pojun, where is General Li Junxian?"

The team was stunned when they heard it, and they came close to stare at it, I went, it was really, and I bowed down and said: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince, General Li is in the small courtyard."

Li Pojun nodded and rushed over, and when he entered the small courtyard by himself, he saw Li Junxian standing alone in the small courtyard and looking at the sky with his hands behind his back.

Hearing the sound, Li Junxian looked back and saw that it was Li Pojun, he was taken aback, and hurriedly greeted him: "Your Highness, why are you here?"

"What's going on? What about Li Lin and Li Ran? ”

Li Pojun remembered that the small courtyard over there was a place where masons were arranged to study printing, but now it has been burned down, and this courtyard is also being beaten to rot, and there are blood stains on the wall.

Seeing this, Li Junxian's face was also sad, and he lowered his head.

Seeing this, Li Pojun shouted angrily: "Call Li Lin and Li Ran to me."

Suddenly, the door next to him opened, and a faint familiar voice came, "Lang, Langjun, I, I'm here."

Li Pojun suddenly looked back, and even his eyes turned red.
