With Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng in Li Ke's team, the atmosphere suddenly became much lively.*(*)

Because Yuan Tiangang had held an official position in the Sui Dynasty before and was a colleague of Dong Boren and Xie Yan. In this way, everyone talked about life and talked about it in a wide range of topics.

Furthermore, Yuan Tiangang has a deep attainment in astronomy and astrology. He is famous. Dong Boren is not friendly to his master and apprentice, and Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng also get along well with Dong Boren and others. This is extremely lively along the way.

However, from beginning to end, Li Chunfeng was a little cold and hot towards Li Ke, which made Li Ke’s monk confused and unclear where he offended this guy.

In this way, the team walked two people and finally left Jinzhou and entered Jiangzhou.

Li Ke still adhered to the principle of not following the official path and wanted to bypass Jiangzhou.

In this way, the team will naturally pass through the village outside Jiangzhou City.

That day, at noon, Li Ke and his group were tired of walking and wanted to find a place to rest.

But Li Ke didn't want to be excited about Li Zheng in the village, and didn't want people nearby to know that he was passing by here.

Therefore, Zhu Tong was specially asked to find a place with water outside the village for everyone to rest.

Zhu Tong took the order and left.

However, there was no trace for a long time.

Li Ke felt very strange. Zhu Tong was cautious, so Li Ke asked him to be responsible for intelligence work in Chang'an City. But he has been out for so long today and there is no news yet. This does not conform to his usual style. Did something happen?

Thinking of this, Li Ke called Wang Zhongchang to his side and asked him to follow him to see what was going on.

Wang Zhongchang took the order and led fifty eagle guards to follow Li Ke, and the group went in the direction where Zhu Tong left.

The countryside in the northwest is still the first month of the year. There is nothing on the hillside, and even the plants and trees are withered. Therefore, Li Ke has no interest in admiring such a scenery. He walks faster. The reason why he left the brigade was to get some breath and not to be with Li Chunfeng, a guy who was cold to him.

However, Li Ke walked along the path for a while and found that there was a sound of fighting from behind a hillside.

"Go and have a look!" Li Ke said to Wang Zhongchang.

"No" King Zhongchang received the order and led the Eagle Guard to leave.

Wang Zhongchang left, and Li Ke followed him.

Walking up the hillside, a plain threshing ground in front of Li Ke saw Wang Zhongchang having already fought with a handsome young man, while Zhu Tong was pale and stood on the side.

The young man and Wang Zhongchang both fought bare hands, but the two actually had a fair fight.

Behind the young man, there were three people with mighty appearances and ages that were about to try.

Everyone on the field focused on Wang Zhongchang and the good young man, and did not notice Li Ke and his party more than 40 people. Li Ke did not let the Eagle Guard speak up, but stood aside and began to pay attention to the fight on the field. He felt that this young man could fight Wang Zhongchang and had not yet shown his defeat. It can be seen that his power is strong and is definitely not comparable to ordinary people.

The two fought for dozens of rounds, no matter how high or low it was.

Only then did Li Ke signal the Eagle Guard to exit.

When everyone on the field saw Li Ke, Wang Zhongchang and Zhu Tong hurriedly apologized to Li Ke and said they were reckless.

The three people behind him were stunned and didn't say anything for a while.

Because, they clearly heard Wang Zhongchang and Zhu Tong call Li Ke as His Highness.

They are not stupid, they know that the man in front of them must be the prince.

And they can't afford to fight against the prince's guards.

"What the hell is going on?" Li Ke asked Zhu Tong.

Zhu Tong began to explain to Li Ke.

It turned out that he was ordered to come to find the water source. After searching for a long time, he couldn't find it. He asked the young man who was practicing martial arts here. Unexpectedly, the young man ignored Zhu Tong. Zhu Tong collided with him and then fought with the young man.

Behind him was Wang Zhongchang coming. Seeing that Zhu Tong was injured by the young man, he joined the battle group and fought with the young man.

"Nothing?" Li Ke said angrily, "How did I teach you usually?"

Zhu Tong and Wang Zhongchang remained silent and could only accept Li Ke's reprimand.

Li Ke felt that with Zhu Tong's prudence, it was impossible to fight with the young man in front of him casually, and there must be other hidden information. However, he didn't bother to pay attention to it and walked towards the young man in the field.

The young man has now come back to his senses. Seeing Li Ke walking towards him, the four of them hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to Li Ke and said, "Xue Li, Zhou Qing, Zhou Wen, Zhou Wu, see Your Highness!"

The four of them didn't know who Li Ke was, so they could only call Li Ke as His Highness like Wang Zhongchang and others.

"You don't have to be too polite - what? What are your names?" Li Ke said in surprise.

"Your Highness, my name is - Xue Li!"

After hearing Li Ke's question in surprise, the young man who had just fought with Wang Zhongchang said hesitantly.

Li Ke heard it this time really, the young man in front of him was Xue Li.

"Your name is Xue Li, and your courtesy name is Rengui?" Li Ke asked.

"Your Highness, how do you know my name?" Xue Li was shocked.

Li Ke did not answer Xue Li, he just said secretly that this place is Jiangzhou, Shanxi, and Xue Rengui is from Jiangzhou, Shanxi. It seems that he is indeed Xue Rengui!

But Li Ke was not sure and continued to ask, "Is this village called Xiu Village?"

"When you go back to your highness, it's really called Xiucun!" Xue Li replied.

After Li Ke confirmed that the young man in front of him was Xue Rengui, the famous Tang general, his tone became much more stern. He asked sternly, "Why are you fighting with my guard?"

"Your Highness's atonement is not about Brother Xue's business, it is my fault." At this time, a tall young man standing behind Xue Li said, "Just just now, this general asked me if there is a water source nearby. I fell in love with the general's sword and wanted to borrow his sword to see it as a condition for the exchange of water sources. The general was angry and would fight me, but I am not his opponent. At this time, Brother Xue appeared in time and fought with the general."

"What's your name?" Li Ke asked in a cold tone. I'm so brave that this young man is too brave!

"My name is Zhou Qing!" Zhou Qing replied. He did not dare to look at Li Ke in front of him, because in this village, he had seen the great official, the county magistrate of the county, and why had he ever been a royal relative like a prince?

"Zhou Qing, you are really brave! You dare to borrow a knife from the imperial generals. Do you want to rebel?" Li Ke scolded angrily.

"I would like to atone for your sins. Zhou Qing did not know the depth and offended Your Highness. I would like to forgive him." Xue Li heard Li Ke's anger and thought that Li Ke wanted to punish Zhou Qing. Zhou Qing was his brother and he had to save him, so he pleaded with mercy.

"Brother Xue--" Zhou Qing was about to speak, but Xue Rengui suddenly shouted, "You said, why don't you apologize to Your Highness!"

"Please ask your highness to atone for your sins. Zhou Qing has no rituals and offended this general. He also asks you to punish Zhou Qing alone, so don't punish Brother Xue!" Zhou Qing also spoke.

"Okay, have you ever said that I would punish you?" Li Ke suddenly felt funny. He smiled and said, "Since that's the case, then you will make meritorious service when you are guilty and take me to a place with water. I will leave after drinking a sip of water and will not make things difficult for you."

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Xue Rengui and his brothers said happily.

Piaotian Wenxue.com said, "If your highness doesn't dislike you, you can go to my house to drink water. There is a heat at home for your highness to take."

"We have 500 people. Your family doesn't have that much hot water, right?" Li Ke joked to Xue Rengui.

Sure enough, when he saw Xue Rengui's face flushed, he was at a loss.

"Zhu Tong, go over and ask them to come to a place with water to rest. I will go to his house with Brother Xue to drink some water. We will set out later!" Li Ke said to Zhu Tong. He wanted to see what Xue Rengui's family looked like and whether they lived in a poor cave as later generations said.

"No" Zhu Tong took the order to leave.

"Please, Your Highness!" Xue Rengui led the way, and Li Ke followed him.
