As for Li You's safety, Niu Jinda had also thought about it. Didn't we reorganize a group of Gaochang soldiers? Just let them accompany him as guards. After all, these people are not the regular army of the Tang Dynasty.
These people all have Tang Dynasty blood. After the transformation is completed, they also hope to become Tang people, so they are very hardworking during training. Moreover, there are not many oppositions in the entire Gaochang territory. The defense of the surrounding periphery is the responsibility of the Tang Dynasty soldiers. They are just asked to keep close watch on Li You, so nothing serious will happen.
What's more, in the innermost layer, there are palace guards brought from the capital. These people are all masters selected from hundreds of miles away. In addition, Han Desi himself is a master. With him watching over Li You, nothing will happen to him.
The reason why such a carriage appeared was because Xiao Shougui suggested it to Niu Jinda. Li You was a prince, and there would be no shortage of women in his carriage on the way from the capital to the northwest. As long as there were women and food and wine, this guy would never cause trouble.
So Niu Jinda also made arrangements for him. This was the most beautiful girl picked out from the prison. Anyway, as long as this guy didn't cause trouble along the way, Niu Jinda felt that it was nothing. After all, he was the emperor's son. Is it a big deal if he eats and plays a little?
If some people feel that this is unfair, then go back and ask your father, why didn't your father have the courage when the world was in chaos? If your father had that courage, I guess you can do whatever you want now, and there are still a group of people around to watch over you.
It takes several days to walk from the royal city to the border. If there is nothing interesting to attract Li You, this guy will probably cause trouble the whole way.
Although the weather outside was hot, this carriage was originally Li Xiang's carriage. It was equipped with various heat-insulating equipment. In addition, there were ice cubes made by Li Xiang. Li Xiang used modern methods to make ice cubes, which greatly alleviated the soldiers' heat.
Not to mention a prince like Li You, even some ordinary soldiers could carry some ice cubes with them. The temperature outside was over 30 degrees Celsius. How would the soldiers survive without some cold drinks to cool down?
In order to ensure the soldiers' cooling down, Li Xiang set up post stations along the main transportation lines. In addition to helping people convey information, the post stations were also responsible for making ice cubes. This is not a difficult problem in modern society and this society can also produce it.
So a strange scene appeared in the team. Every time they walked a distance, several carriages would come from a distance, pulling huge blocks of ice. When they got near them, they would be broken open and then distributed to the surrounding soldiers. The soldiers also put the ice in small bags so that they could last for a long time.
Of course, the people responsible for making ice cubes were all exchanged by Li Xiang using the system. This is still a very good business method. After returning to Chang'an City, this thing can still make a lot of money. If it is leaked now, then you can forget about making this money.
It is precisely because of this kind of thing that the temperature in Li You's carriage can be kept extremely low, so this guy did not complain. If he were asked to move forward under the scorching sun in weather over 30 degrees, even if he was sitting in the carriage, Li You would probably have been unwilling to do it long ago.
After several days, this guy finally arrived at the border. Looking at the dilapidated houses here, Li You wished he could live in his carriage forever. Li Xiang was also waiting on behalf of everyone. Although Li Xiang was now the crown prince, Li You was Li Xiang's uncle after all. He still had to pay his respects when it was time to do so. After all, this era ruled the world with filial piety.
The two men didn't have much conversation after they met. Li Xiang didn't want to say much to this guy. When he saw Li Xiang, he also felt that Li Xiang was a hypocrite. So after the two sides met, they went back to rest.
Li Xiang still adopted Niu Jinda's strategy, calling Han Desi over and explaining everything that needed to be said to the old man. Li Xiang was too lazy to talk directly to Li You because that guy was a pig-brained person.
When the old eunuch first came to the Western Regions, he had never thought that he would have so much work to do, let alone become a channel of communication. He just wanted to serve the prince well so that after returning to the capital, the queen would use him more.
If he had known that he would have to accept so much coercion, this guy would have wanted to stab himself and would never have left Chang'an.
Visit the five countries in the Western Regions?
After hearing Li Xiang's proposal, old eunuch Han wanted to faint. Fainting was much better than thinking about such a thing, which was simply impossible.
He watched Li You grow up, and of course he knew how afraid of death this prince was. He would never let himself go even if there was the slightest danger. The reason why he went to the border this time was that he was willing to come only after all the threats were made. Of course, the main reason was that Li Xiang was here, and Li You also knew that Li Xiang would not joke with his life.
But what if we left Gaochang Kingdom and went to the countries in the Western Regions? How could such a thing happen?
Will those people care that you are the prince of the Tang Dynasty? Even if the top leaders of each country will care, there will still be some desperate people within each country.
"Your Highness, please reconsider. This is no small matter. Although His Highness the Prince of Qi is not valued by the Emperor, he is, after all, his biological son. If something were to happen to him in the West, the price would be too high."
The old eunuch was very clear about this matter. It was no different from other things. If it were something else, he would be willing to persuade Li You to listen, but if he really had to go to the countries in the Western Regions, his safety would be greatly reduced. If he happened to meet someone who was blind, he would be doomed there.
"Please rest assured, General Niu will be accompanied by two thousand cavalrymen. If anything happens, General Niu will ensure his safety. Moreover, the countries in the Western Regions are currently empty. Their armies are all in the coalition camps, and there are not many people in their own countries."
Li Xiang must have planned this before doing it. After all, Li You's safety is also related to his future. If something really happens, don't expect other princes to cooperate with him in any form in the future.
After hearing what Li Xiang said, Han Desi kept shaking his head. He could not let Li You be in danger. If something really happened, he would definitely be the one to lose his head.
