Time Travel: I am the idle king Li Shen and Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty

After receiving the news, Wang Xuance analyzed it himself and finally associated it with smuggling, so he made such a judgment.

After hearing Wang Xuance's judgment, Li Shen fell into deep thought.

What Wang Xuance said makes sense.

It is indeed a possibility.

They have not been able to find any clues about smuggling.

Such a large caravan should have been noticed along the way, but in the end there was no clue at all.

Li Shen suspected that they came from the northern grasslands.

And they are scattered, so the target becomes smaller and less likely to attract attention.

"Then you should immediately arrange for the caravan to pack up whatever you want and return to that place.

Let Xue Rengui send a few people to follow and not attract other people's attention.

Investigate the scene carefully to see if you can find any useful clues.

Then let the caravan go to the Western Regions. When they come back, the matter should be over."

Li Shen thought about it and made arrangements.

Although the caravan checked, they were not professionals and might have overlooked some useful clues.

It would be better to let Xue Rengui send some people to search the place thoroughly.

Although Li Shen felt that the possibility of finding clues was slim.

"Yes, I'll arrange it right away." Wang Xuance bowed and walked out.

"Your Majesty, you can take a bath now."

"it is good."

Li Shen took off his clothes, sat in the wooden barrel, covered his face with a wet handkerchief, and thought about what Wang Xuance had just said.

When it comes to smuggling, the people he suspected the most were the aristocratic families.

But today, for some reason, he suddenly felt that it wouldn't be that simple.

He thought the matter over from beginning to end.

I left Yaoyi in the second half of last year and returned in the early this year.

He didn't know a lot of things during this period.

Among them, Yang Shaowei was bewitched and deceived into rebelling.

Then, after I had been here for three months, the attack happened.

Judging from the Tibetan deployment and siege equipment, smuggling was still going on during the three months he had been here.

This is not taking him seriously.

The other side used Yang Shaowei to break through multiple patrol lines.

"Yang Shaowei didn't tell the truth!" Li Shen murmured to himself.

~~~~~~~~

Li Shen's life returned to normal, and he did morning exercises in the military camp every day.

During the day, I sometimes ride horses and sometimes shoot arrows.

It was monotonous and boring here, so Li Shen could only find things to do for himself.

Finally, when it was almost the end of the month, Wang De came to convey the imperial decree that he would set off for Chang'an in the next few days.

His father asked him to go back and pack up and prepare to go back together.

In Li Shen's yard,

Su Xiaoxiao, Liu Ruyan, Chunxiang and Dongmei all surrounded Li Shen when they saw him.

"See you, Your Majesty."

"Well, no need to be so polite. It's okay when I'm not in the house," Li Shen asked.

"Your Highness, everything is fine." Su Xiaoxiao replied.

Everyone welcomed Li Shen back to the backyard. The girls looked him up and down, and Chunxiang said with tears in her eyes:

"My Lord, you have become thinner and darker."

"Haha, it's nothing. I'm much stronger now." Li Shen laughed.

"Your Highness, you must have suffered a lot, right?" Su Xiaoxiao also asked.

"That little bit of suffering is nothing. Although I am a prince, I am not that spoiled."

Li Shen said nonchalantly.

"I will prepare a bath for the prince."

"I'll ask the back to prepare some more dishes that His Majesty likes."

After showing concern for a while, the girls started to get busy.

Li Shen came under the tree and plopped down on his recliner.

I couldn't help but let out a cry of comfort.

"Ah~~~ It's so comfortable. My own home is still so comfortable. It seems that I am only suitable to stay at home.

Come on, call Wang Xuance, Xue Rengui and Liu Su over."

After a while, the three were brought in front of Li Shen.

"I see you, Your Majesty."

"I see you, my lord."

The three of them saluted.

"Well, excuse me, I'm here to tell you that His Majesty has ordered us to return to Chang'an in the next few days.

This prince also wants to go back to Chang'an together, so some things need to be arranged in advance."

Li Shen lay there and nodded.

"Please give me your instructions, Your Majesty."

"Liu Su, you have the heaviest task. Whether you can surpass Wang Hongfu in the future depends on you.

Yaoyi is a treasure land. I have told you before. It depends on whether you can seize this opportunity.

I have already informed Li Zhiming, so please find him if you have any problem. If it is useless to find him, just let me handle it.

The platform has been built for you. Whether you can soar to the sky depends on your own ability. "

Li Shen looked at Liu Su first. He was the manager here and was very important.

“Don’t worry, Your Majesty, I will not leave this place even if I lose my life.

I would like to thank the prince for his cultivation. "

Liu Su immediately bowed deeply to show his loyalty.

"Well, I am very optimistic about it. Also, prepare some supplies in the next few days for my journey back."

Li Shen was very satisfied with Liu Su's attitude.

Sometimes greedy people are easier to control, and the most feared are those who have no desires.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After instructing Liu Su, Li Shen looked at Wang Xuance and Xue Rengui again. Of course, they would go back with him.

"You two should also prepare yourself. You should explain clearly what needs to be explained and just do what I tell you to do."

Li Shen just said a few simple words.

They will go with me and there is no need for any arrangements.

"I accept your order."

Li Shen waved his hand and the three of them retreated.

"Your Highness, you can take a bath now." Chunxiang came over to report.

"Well, I can go by myself. I am practicing now and I am afraid that my concentration is not enough and I will break the precepts."

Two days later in the morning, Li Shen received the notice and set off immediately.

"Old Wang, why are you in such a hurry? Didn't you say it would take a few days? I still have a lot of supplies that I haven't prepared yet."

Li Shen asked Wang De with some curiosity.

"Your Highness, an urgent message came from Chang'an yesterday, three hundred miles away." Wang De replied in a low voice.

"Three hundred miles in a hurry? What's wrong? Did something happen in the court?" Li Shen was a little surprised.

Is there a rebellion?

"The urgent report said that Duke Liang is critically ill." Wang De continued in a low voice.

"Who? Who is critically ill?" Li Shen didn't react for a moment, as he was somewhat unfamiliar with the title.

"Mr. Fang, Prime Minister Fang."

"What? No way. Didn't I hear that he went to the First Hospital for recuperation?"

Li Shen knew about Fang Xuanling's illness. He had been ill since the beginning of the year, but he said at the time that he was going to the First Hospital for recuperation.

They said he was recovering well and even attended court, so how come he was said to be critically ill just a few months later?

“I don’t know about this old servant, this is the news reported by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

His Majesty was extremely anxious after hearing this, so he immediately set off to return to Chang'an, hoping to go back and visit the Duke of Liang."

Wang De also shook his head to indicate that he didn't know.

"Shitou, Shitou, prepare to return to Chang'an immediately and send someone to notify Wang Xuance and Xue Rengui.

Tell Liu Su to transport the prepared supplies to the South Gate.

Take away the valuables and put the rest here, hurry up."
