For Li Shimin, it was actually quite easy to hide in the north of Anrong Pass at first. After all, the location of Li Shimin's hiding place is in the mountains and forests, and it is deep in the mountains and old forests, not a place where people gather. Therefore, Li Shimin and his party have never been discovered. But such a good day only lasted more than half a month.
The whereabouts of Li Shimin and his party were still exposed.
Xia Guo's army arrived suddenly.
An encounter took place, and Li Shimin and his party were caught off guard, and part of the army was lost. Fortunately, Li Shimin was located in a deep mountain and old forest. Du Qi's pursuers.
It's just that after this incident, Li Shimin lost more than 2,000 troops, which made Li Shimin's heart ache for a long time. For Li Shimin today, the strength of two thousand troops is also very important.
After Li Shimin escaped, he was blocked one after another.
Or be blocked by the people.
Or be blocked by Xia Guo's army.
The whereabouts of the army cannot be kept secret at all. Even if Li Shimin's army entered the mountain forest, it would not take long before they would be discovered again and Li Shimin had to evacuate again.
At such a time, it entered November in a blink of an eye, and the weather became colder and colder. Fortunately, this attack was in the territory of Longzhou, not the Western Regions. If it were in the Western Regions, the weather would be colder, which would be even more unfavorable to Li Shimin and his party. So the current situation is not bad, it is not particularly difficult, at least it can persist.
When Li Shimin persisted, a carriage came slowly outside the capital of Xia Kingdom.
This carriage went straight into the city.
The person in the carriage was none other than Fang Xuanling, who came with Li Shimin's mission, and wanted to meet Du Ruhui in person, and asked Du Ruhui to come forward to persuade Du Qi, so as to achieve the goal of seeking peace with Du Qi.
When Fang Xuanling entered the city, he was supported by the hidden pillars of the Tang Dynasty. It's just that Fang Xuanling came here in a hurry, but he didn't take a rest, and directly asked someone to drive to Du Ruhui's mansion. The carriage drove for a while, and finally stopped outside Du Ruhui's mansion. Fang Xuanling stepped out of the carriage, shook his robe, looked up at this quaint mansion, somewhat surprised.
Du Qi is the emperor.
As the emperor's father, Du Ruhui's status is extremely noble. However, Du Ruhui's mansion is simple and unsophisticated, neither luxurious nor magnificent, especially Du Ruhui did not live in the palace, which is quite surprising.
However, it was also convenient for Fang Xuanling.
Can see Du Ruhui directly.
Fang Xuanling looked up at the sun in the sky, with a look of surprise on his face. It is already November now, in November in Chang'an, if the weather is cold early, it will already start to snow. Even if the cold time is late, it is also biting cold. However, the weather in the imperial capital of the Xia Kingdom is quite warm, like an April day in Chang'an.
"Good place, good place!"
Fang Xuanling muttered to himself.
Immediately, he withdrew his gaze and landed on the gate of Du Ruhui's mansion. Fang Xuanling stepped forward in person, his back was slightly bent, but his energy was excellent, and Fang Xuanling himself was in a high position, and his words and deeds were organized. So when he stepped forward in person, the concierge at the door of the room immediately cheered up, not daring to underestimate him at all.
Fang Xuanling said indifferently: "Please let me know that my old friend Fang Qiao is asking to see you."
The porter frowned.
This notice is too simple, just an old friend.
But it was exactly like this, and the concierge didn't dare to underestimate him, because on weekdays, even if anyone came to visit Du Ruhui, they were all dignitaries, and no one dared to say that they were old friends. You must know that it is really unusual to be an old friend of the Supreme Emperor, so the concierge immediately entered to report.
The concierge went straight to the study, and after seeing Du Ruhui, he told the truth.
Du Ruhui stood up immediately after hearing this, with a surprised expression on his face, because Fang Xuanling was the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, and he was busy with various affairs and government affairs, so when would he come to the imperial capital? Du Ruhui was worried about meeting someone with the same name, so he asked again: "Have you seen clearly, what does this person look like, and how old is he?"
The concierge reported: "The Supreme Emperor, the person who came here is about sixty years old, about the same age as you. Although he is dressed in simple clothes, he is not an ordinary person at first glance, he is a person in a high position. The Supreme Emperor, have you seen him?"
"please!"
Du Ruhui gave an order immediately.
The concierge turned around and went out, but just as the concierge reached the door, he heard Du Ruhui say again: "Wait a minute!"
?The porter stopped and turned.
However, Du Ruhui had already walked out directly, and he said as he walked, "I'll go by myself."
The porter followed Du Ruhui, feeling horrified. One must know that the concierge has been in the mansion for many years, since Du Ruhui arrived in the imperial capital, he has served as the concierge. For a long time, although there were many people who came to visit Du Ruhui, from the beginning to the end, Du Ruhui never came to greet him in person. But now, Du Ruhui came out to greet him in person, which was surprising. The concierge was even more fortunate, thanks to his good eyesight, he never offended anyone, if he offended the old man who came here, the consequences would be bad.
Not long after, Du Ruhui came to the door.
Du Ruhui saw Fang Xuanling standing at the gate, and stood still in place for a moment.
Two people stared at each other for a long time.
In the past, Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling followed Li Shimin, they were called Li Shimin's right-hand men, and they were close friends. They had been separated for many years. When they met again, they were already old, and half of their bodies were already buried in the ground.
Fang Xuanling took the lead and said: "I have seen the Supreme Emperor."
However, Du Ruhui took a step forward, took Fang Xuanling's hand directly, and said, "Brother Fang, why should we be so alienated between you and me. Let's go, follow me into the house for a while."
Fang Xuanling showed a smile on his face.
His address just now was actually intentional, just to give Du Ruhui a try and see Du Ruhui's attitude. Now that he heard Du Ruhui's words, Fang Xuanling was convinced, because this was the chance to persuade Du Ruhui to make a move.
The two entered the study and sat opposite each other.
Du Ruhui poured Fang Xuanling a cup of tea, and said, "Brother Fang, how have you been all these years?"
Fang Xuanling said: "Neither the country nor the family deserves much credit, but they barely make ends meet."
Du Ruhui glanced at Fang Xuanling, but sighed: "Brother Fang used to be unparalleled in style and outstanding, but now he is much older. I must have been quite worried these years."
Fang Xuanling sighed: "There is no way to do it. Since you left Chang'an, although the government affairs in the court are running normally, it is not as easy as before. With you, everything is different."
Du Ruhui said: "There is no way to do this. If I don't leave Chang'an, it will be even more troublesome."
After a pause, Du Ruhui looked at Fang Xuanling, and said again: "Brother Fang, you and I both know the basics, and we have worked together for many years, and we know each other's intentions. Now that you have come to the Imperial City suddenly, there must be something wrong. It's important. You have something to do, but it's okay, as long as I can help, I will do my best. Of course, if I can't help, then there's nothing I can do. "
As the saying goes, if you don't go to the Three Treasures Palace, Fang Xuanling traveled thousands of miles to the Imperial Capital City, and he must have something to ask for. Du Ruhui could play sloppy and avoid Fang Xuanling, but it was not necessary, after all, the relationship between him and Fang Xuanling was unusual, so if you have something to say, just talk about it.
