Chapter 20 The city is full of storms
"Boy Li Ke." Li Ke said helplessly.
"Li Ke, good name." Cheng Yanjin laughed, and then, the laughter stopped abruptly, the smile on his face disappeared, and he said loudly: "What, your name is Li Ke." β
Li Ke nodded at Cheng Yanjin.
"You are Li Ke, the king of Shu?" Cheng Yanjin was skeptical.
"Yes." Li Ke can no longer hide it.
Cheng Yanjin suddenly raised his palm, paused in mid-air, glared at Li Ke, put his hand behind his head, and stroked his hair.
Cheng Yanjin stood up straight, shook his hands, and said with a straight face: "I have seen His Royal Highness the King of Shu." β
After Cheng Yanjin knew Li Ke's identity, he instantly dispelled his plan to let Li Ke marry his daughter.
"Father-in-law, you've tormented the boy." Li Ke stuck to it like a dog's skin plaster.
"Lord Wang, please be cautious, the little girl can't climb high." Cheng Biting Jin Yizheng refused verbally.
"Father-in-lawγγγγγγ"
"This place is not a place where the prince will stay for a long time, so the old man will send the prince back to the palace." Hearing that Li Ke was still calling his father-in-law, Cheng Yanjin directly began to drive away guests.
Seeing Cheng Biting Jin being so resolute, Li Ke also understood that his intention to hide from the world and cook raw rice has been seen through by Cheng Bitingjin, who is reckless and careful.
"Then the king will retire, and he won't bother the prince of Su Guo." After finishing speaking, Li Ke left without looking back.
Looking at Li Ke's departing figure, Cheng Yanjin sighed: "It's a pity that you are the king of Shu." β
His Cheng family, if it was just a civil official family, he Cheng Biting Jin would not think about it so much, but unfortunately he Cheng Biting Jin has a heavy palm.
"Little thief, look where you're going." Just a few hundred meters after leaving Cheng's mansion, Cheng Shurou rode a horse and ran out of the alley.
The palace is located in the north of Chang'an City, out of the palace gate, there is a street from north to south, called Suzaku Street.
Suzaku Street, about 150 meters wide, divides Chang'an City into two counties. Chang'an County in the east and Wannian County in the west.
Most of the residences of dignitaries and nobles are near the East Market in Chang'an County, one is close to the imperial palace, and the other is because of prosperity.
The Suguo Mansion is located in Baoping, which is located behind the East City. This piece is almost all the residences of the imperial officials.
At this time, it was almost noon, and the subordinates who went to the street to buy supplies had all returned to their respective mansions, and the senior officials had already returned to their homes.
In the second half of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, although the dog days have passed, the sun at noon is still very hot, and the streets are sparsely populated.
"This king sees that your ass is itching again." Li Ke looked fearless, and raised his identity to suppress Cheng Shurou.
What Li Ke wouldn't have thought of was how terrible a woman who was carried away by anger was.
"Little thief, I'm going to kill you." Cheng Shurou on horseback, after saying this, gently clamped the horse's belly with her legs, walked to Li Ke's side, raised the whip in her hand, and whipped it towards Li Ke.
Li Ke hurriedly dodged, but he was still hit with a horsewhip on his back, and another horsewhip fell on Li Ke in an instant.
The clothes in the summer were thin, and Cheng Shurou used all her strength to whip Li Ke, leaving two mud marks, and under the mud prints, two heavy red marks were left.
Li Keqiang endured the pain and shouted: "Relying on the horse, what kind of ability is it, if you have the ability to get off the horse and fight with the master." β
Cheng Shurou, who was on horseback, was really fooled, turned over and jumped, jumped off the horse, and said, "Little thief, even if this girl gets off the horse, she will still kill you." β
As he spoke, he waved the whip in his hand and whipped it towards Li Ke.
Li Ke endured the pain and heartache and exchanged the electric rod with the system.
With the electric baton in hand, Li Ke calmly looked at the flying horsewhip, leaned forward quickly, and stabbed Cheng Shurou with the electric baton in his hand.
"Ahh After a few screams, Cheng Shurou sat down on the ground and was stunned.
Li Ke was also angry with Cheng Shurou's three whips, squatted down, looked at Cheng Shurou with a fierce face, raised the slap in his hand, and finally put it down.
put his hand on the middle of Cheng Shurou's nose and pressed it hard as if retaliating.
Cheng Shurou woke up and turned around, saw Li Ke in front of her, and screamed, "Little thief, you." β
After only saying three words, Cheng Shurou was stunned by Li Ke again.
This chick has violent tendencies, and she can't beat herself, so Li Ke has no choice but to do so.
Looking at Cheng Shurou lying on the ground, Li Ke was in trouble for a while, and threw it on the side of the road, afraid that he would meet a gangster and send him back to Cheng Mansion, but he was afraid that he would be beaten.
After hesitating for a moment, Li Ke turned Cheng Shurou over, tied Cheng Shurou's hands behind his back with a horsewhip, and struggled to put Cheng Shurou up.
The horse is also very psychic, walked to the two of them, knelt down, and this time, it just happened for Li Ke to get Cheng Shurou on horseback.
Between the moves, the touch of the flesh through the tulle made Li Ke's old heart beat a lot faster.
The people who saw this scene in the distance disappeared without a trace in an instant.
In order to move Cheng Shurou to the horse, Li Ke stumbled, and his clothes were stained with a lot of mud, which mixed with the sweat on his body, making his clothes dirty and messy, looking like a homeless person, how could he still be extravagant.
This time, Li Ke didn't dare to ride on horseback again. led the horse, carried Cheng Shurou, and walked along the street to the north.
Li Ke found at this time that he didn't know the way back.
When he came, Li Ke's energy was all focused on not letting himself fall, and he didn't care about watching the road at all.
Looking up at the sky, the sky is not beautiful, the sun is shining in the sky, and I can't tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest, and finally from the shadow's body, I roughly judged the direction.
"Someone, take this for me." As soon as Li Ke walked to Dongshi, he met Zhou Fu, the county magistrate of Chang'an County, and a government officer.
Zhou Fu was resting in the government office, when he heard someone report to the official, saying that the daughter of Su Guogong was tied to a horse by a young man, how dare he slack off, and he was busy taking the official to the street to find it.
"Is there water or not?" Li Ke, who was sweating profusely, was very thirsty, and asked Zhou Fu for water in a hurry.
"Boy, you are very bold, you kidnapped the daughter of Su Guogong, and dared to ask for water from this county, there is a pot of hot tea here in this county, do you drink it or not." Zhou Fu patted his lower abdomen as he spoke, and looked at Li Ke with a sneering expression.
If it weren't for the good sale of Cheng Biting Gold, if it weren't for Li Ke's messy clothes, let alone self-declaring his identity, he would have to weigh one or two of the single outfits, and he would never dare to make a mistake.
This Chang'an City is full of uncles, especially around Dongshi, the big officials grab a lot of them, and Zhou Fu is a small Wupin county order, and they are all holding their tails.
"Ha, ha, ha." A cadre of officials laughed on the sidelines.
"What are you laughing at, don't take this son down and take it back to the county office." Zhou Fu glared at a few officials and scolded.
Li Ke, who was very tired, did not resist at all, and obediently let the officials bring him back to the county office.
"Water, go and find some water for this king." As soon as he arrived at the county office, Li Ke hurriedly spoke.
"Return to the king, what kind of prince are you, stay honest for Lao Tzu." The official who escorted Li Ke didn't believe Li Ke's words at all, lifted Li Ke up, and pushed him to the court of the county government.
Zhou Fu heard Li Ke's words, but he had an extra heart, and scolded the official who spoke: "Go and find him some water to drink." β
"You take care of this kid, and the official will come when he goes." After giving an explanation, Zhou Fu hurriedly brought the horses and rushed to Cheng Yanjin's mansion.
"Something should happen to the prince! Last time it was a falling horse. Xiao Liuzi, who had been waiting in the paper mill for a long time, said worriedly to Zhang Sancai and Liu Dali.
"Shut your crow's mouth." Zhang Sancai and Liu Dali scolded at the same time.
"Let's go, you go separately to look for it on the street, and I'll go to the Guogong Mansion to have a look." After scolding Xiao Liuzi, Zhang Sancai's face also showed a trace of anxiety.
didn't have time to say hello to Liu Laoshi, the person in charge of the paper mill, so he rode away ten horses from the paper mill and galloped towards Chang'an City.
Zhang Sancai galloped all the way towards the Suguo Mansion, and before the horse could stop, he jumped down, walked quickly to the subordinate at the gate of the Guogong Mansion and said, "The prince of Shu is a guard, I have something important to ask to see the lord of the country, and I am tired of reporting it." β
"Dare to ask Lord Guogong, have you seen my prince?" As soon as he entered the Guogong Mansion, Zhang Sancai went straight to the topic and asked.
"I've seen it, it's been about an hour since the King of Shu left the mansion." Hearing that he was looking for Li Ke, Cheng Yanjin didn't care about the rudeness of the little guard.
"Lord Guogong, I know which direction the prince is going after leaving." Zhang Sancai hurriedly asked again.
"I don't know." Cheng Yanjin replied like this first, suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly ran to the backyard.
Looking at Cheng Biting Jin's actions, Zhang Sancai did not leave, maybe Lord Guogong knew the whereabouts of his prince.
Cheng Yanjin searched the entire backyard, but did not find his daughter, and secretly said in his heart, "It's bad, isn't it that Rou'er went to seek revenge on the King of Shu and robbed the King of Shu." β
Cheng Yanjin guessed half right, and he didn't expect that his daughter would be kidnapped by the nine-year-old King of Shu.
It is related to the king of Shu, even if he Cheng Biting Jin can't afford it, he can't take care of it, Cheng Biting Jin immediately summoned all the people in the mansion and went out of the house to find his daughter and the king of Shu.
"Since the prince doesn't know where the prince is going, he will retire." Zhang Sancai gave Cheng Yanjin a salute, turned around and left quickly.
The people of the Suguo Mansion are looking for Cheng Shurou all over the street.
Zhang Sancai and Liu Dali also had eight little eunuchs, riding horses, running back and forth in the streets and alleys of Chang'an County.
About a quarter of an hour after Zhang Sancai left, Zhou Fu also rushed to Cheng Yanjin's mansion.
"Lord Guogong, Ling Qianjin was kidnapped, but fortunately, the lower officials bumped into him and brought the thief and Ling Nu back to the mansion together." Zhou Fu saw Cheng biting gold and invited merit.
"What that kidnapper looks like." Cheng Yanjin hurriedly asked.
Zhou Fuxin's heart was messy all of a sudden, did I hear it wrong? Shouldn't you care about your daughter first?
"About ten years old, unkempt, and the lower officials didn't see it clearly." Zhou Shi replied.
"The old man will go with you." After confirming that it was Li Ke, Cheng Yanjin did not dare to slack off.
Unkempt, how did his daughter abuse the King of Shu.
Li Ke, the king of Shu, and Cheng Shurou, the daughter of Su Guogong, the news of their disappearance spread.
In an instant, it spread all over the entire Chang'an County, causing a storm in the city, rumors spread, and various versions emerged in endlessly.
