Chapter 22: Heroes Save Beauty
In the past few years, although Li Xuanba has stayed in Luliang Mountain to learn art, he is not without a little understanding of the recent situation of the family.
His father, Li Yuan, was awarded the title of Duke of Tang at the age of seven, and at the age of twelve, he obtained the position of preparing for a thousand cows, but in the following decades, his father's official position has not changed, and he has always been in the position of the state assassin and the county guard.
During the reign of the first emperor, the county was changed to a state, and the son of heaven Yang Guang changed the state to a county, so there is no difference between Li Yuan's three states of Qian, Long, and Qi in the Kaihuang period, and Xingyang, Lou Fu Taishou, who served in the Great Cause period.
If it weren't for the fact that the Li family has many sons and nephews, they are all very capable, plus the help of the first queen Dugu's family. At this time, the martial arts Li clan had already fallen.
It was only in recent years that his father gradually gained the trust of the Son of Heaven, regained his holy favor, moved to the palace as a young eunuch, and became a close minister of the Son of Heaven.
At this time, it is indeed not the time for him to act willfully,
But—
"Second brother, when did you become such a person?"
Li Xuanba only felt extremely depressed in his chest, and his face was full of unwillingness: "Do you want to call me and just watch it like this?"
It's just that before he finished speaking, he saw that Li Shimin had already ridden forward: "You don't know the severity of your shot, wait for me here obediently!"
Li Xuanba was stunned for a moment, looking at his brother's long back. He subconsciously wanted to follow, but was firmly held by Li Yan, the general behind him.
But before he could struggle, he saw that under the hill, there were already several strong men with five big and three thick, who got into the carriage and pulled the woman in the carriage out.
And the few gentlemen in front of the carriage looked even more meaningful. The entourage around also burst into laughter at this moment,
Seeing this, Li Xuanba suddenly realized. Li Shimin pulled him and refused to make a move before, mostly because of these bastards just now, they were just verbal teasing, and there was no substantive action.
At this time, his second brother made a brazen move, naturally because of this, he could no longer sit idly by.
Thinking of this, the corners of Li Xuanba's lips couldn't help but smile again, this is his second brother, chivalrous and courageous, and he should be generous.
At this time, Li Shimin, who had already run down the hill, had already torn off his sleeve and covered his face.
He knows very well that these children of high-ranking families are often self-assured of their family background, lawless, and absolutely unable to reason with them. So when he was ready to intervene, he didn't intend to reason with these guys.
Fortunately, he usually keeps a low profile, and as long as it is not a formal occasion, he never carries anything with an identity. And now the only thing that may reveal his identity is the dragon horse under him. But it didn't hurt, as long as he was careful to cover up the imprint behind the horse's buttocks.
At a distance of twenty zhang, Li Shimin rode in an instant. And all the people around the carriage were also alarmed by the sound of horses' hooves, and they all turned their eyes to look. Immediately, someone scolded angrily: "Where did you come from, bastard, do you not look at the road or do you want to meddle in your business?"
There were even three people, who seemed to be relying on their own force, each drew their swords and slashed at the horses under Li Shimin. Li Shimin didn't care at all, and the long lance in his hand hit the wrists of the three people with extreme precision, causing the long knife to fly out of his hand.
Seeing this, the gentlemen couldn't help but change color, and they retreated a few steps back. The surrounding family guards also drew their weapons one after another, and the guards in front of the two of them all saw that the comer was not good, and his strength was not good, and his skills were superb.
——The three people just now are all strong men with good strength, who have already refined their bodies and stepped into the upper rank, but in front of this person, they don't seem to be able to block even a move.
And Li Shimin then moved again, pumping or beating, and all the more than a dozen family guards around him were blown away, as if they were broken sacks, and fell miles away.
In just a moment, Li Shimin rode and rushed to the side of the carriage. He swept with a long lance, and swept away all the strong men who boarded the carriage.
The whole process seems to be smooth, without the slightest hindrance.
It was only then that he finally saw the faces of the two women in the car. Then I couldn't help but sigh secretly, no wonder it attracted these gentlemen, and even did not hesitate to rob people on the street.
There is indeed a reason for this, the two women in the car, one is about thirty years old, although it is just an ordinary cloth clothes, but they have beautiful facial features, soft posture, graceful posture, a pair of bright eyes, breathtaking;
But at this moment, the girl was frightened by the change of fortune, and the pear blossoms brought rain, but the young woman had no other different colors except for her face that was difficult to see.
A hint of surprise flashed in Li Shimin's eyes, but then he withdrew his gaze.
It's really beautiful and delicious in the car, but this is not the time to appreciate it-
"Please sit tight, three of you! Old man pay attention, and you will drive all the way north later, and you must not stop within three miles. ”
The person he was talking to was the coachman who was huddled on the wheels and shivering.
And just as the words fell, Li Shimin suddenly slapped on the buttocks of the two horses. The two horses suddenly let out a wail, and the man rose to his feet in pain, and then galloped forward like mad.
Li Shimin also rode his horse at the same time and took a few steps to the front of the car. The long lance moved forward, still unstoppable, like a bamboo, and it was easy to scatter the few family guards who were blocking the road in front of them. Guarding the carriage, he rushed out of the encirclement of these guards,
But just as he was about to turn his horse and leave from the other side, a loud shout full of anger suddenly came from behind: "Virusha, is that you?"
Li Shimin couldn't help but stiffen slightly, looked back behind him in amazement, and saw that under the escort of many family soldiers, a young man with handsome facial features, a pale face, and a brocade jade robe was glaring at him angrily.
He looked stunned, feeling that this person's appearance was a little familiar, but for a while, he couldn't think of where he had seen this person.
But the young man on the other side seemed to be more and more sure of his identity, and sneered: "Li Shimin, do you still think that if you cover your face, Lao Tzu won't recognize you? You go, keep walking, I see where you can go?"
Li Shimin's heart moved at this time, and finally remembered the identity of this person:
He finally got rid of the idea of luck, tore off the strip of cloth on his face very shamefully, and at the same time rode his horse around, looking at the brocade-clothed boy with a smile: "Are you Su Yi? This is really a coincidence, I just arrived in the Eastern Capital today, and I met an acquaintance." It's been five years since you and I parted from Dazhuang Town, right, I don't know how Brother Su is doing?"
The reason why he wanted to cover his face was that he didn't want to cause trouble for the family, and he didn't bother to listen to his father's reprimand afterwards, but it didn't mean that he was really afraid of this group of gentlemen.
But at this moment, Li Yan on the hill was complexional.
"Su Yi, who is this? It sounds quite familiar, could it be the martial arts Su clan?"
Li Xuanba frowned, and then looked at Li Yan with an inquiring look in his eyes: "Do you know this guy?"
"It's the Martial Arts Su Clan!"
Li Yan said with a pale face: "This Su Yi is the son of Su Kui, the courtier, and he should also be the eldest grandson of Su Wei, Taichangqing. When I was in Wuwei before, I was known for being willful and reckless. ”
The so-called martial arts Su clan is a family with a foothold in martial arts, and its ancestor is Cao Wei and Su Ze.
And when the court said, Taichangqing Su Wei didn't look at the current official position is not high, only three grades, but during the Kaihuang period, this one had participated in the government with Gao Gong, and in the third year of the great cause, Su Wei even succeeded the left servant of Shangshu.
And even now, Su Wei is still the real ruler of the DPRK and China.
After three years of the Great Cause, the Great Sui no longer set up Shangshu Orders and Shangshu left and right, so Su Wei is still the substantive head of Shangshu Province.
This was the norm during the Great Cause years. For example, Pei Ju is in charge of Zhongshu Province as a Huangmen Shilang, and Yu Shiji, an internal history squire, is the head of the substantive Inner History Province (Zhongshu Province).
These three people, together with Yu Wenshu and Imperial Historian Pei Yun, are also in control of the promotion of officials in the DPRK and China, and are known as Cao Wugui.
From this, it can be seen that Su Wei's power is very strong. This has been a protégé for decades, and he has long been a disciple all over the world, and in the early years of the great cause, he almost tilted his power to the government and the opposition.
And as far as Li Yan knows, the relationship between the two of them is really not very good.
The martial arts Su clan and the martial arts Li clan are from the same county, and it is said that they have the friendship of the same townspeople with each other, and it should be a world friend, but in fact, the relationship between the two families before was extremely bad.
After Li Hu, the ancestor of the Li family in the past martial arts, chose to gain a foothold in martial arts. At that time, the Li family bullied the weak, relied on the power and military might, and forcibly seized at least thousands of acres of land from the Su family.
Of course, at that time, Wugong County experienced war, the people were scattered, ten rooms and nine empty, and most of the acres of land had been reduced to wasteland. But this is not big, it is not small, it is also a festival,
In the following decades, there were more disputes between the two families from time to time, and the Li family, as the top general in the Kanto region, naturally had the upper hand.
Therefore, the relationship between the two Su and Li clans can be known from this. Now it is just on the surface, maintaining harmony, but in fact, the children of the two families regard each other as enemies.
"So it's him?"
Li Xuanba's face was not surprised, but showed excitement: "Remember, one year I heard my brother beat this guy to the ground in Dazhuang Town?"
It's a pity that at that time, he had already gone to Luliang Mountain and could not participate in this matter.
That Su Yi was also obviously stimulated by the words 'five years' and 'Dazhuang Town', his face was distorted for a while, and then he also responded: "It seems that you still remember the old things five years ago, so you must not forget, Lao Tzu once said at that time, the mountains do not turn around! Sooner or later, you will come to my Su Yi's hands." ”
Speaking of this, he snorted coldly again, and hugged his fists towards several people around him: "Brother Yuwen, Brother Yang, please lend the two of your family soldiers to use for me! If I don't beat this guy to kneel on the ground and beg for mercy today, I swear not to be a man!"
