Li Heng always thought that Ye Qing was exaggerating Zhao Shixiong, an official who was over fifty years old, and he was also appointed as the prefect of Yangzhou on Huainan East Road and the pacification envoy, how could he be such a weak woman as his daughter, and the two of them beat Ye Qing to the point that they were powerless?

So Li Heng never believed what Ye Qing said, when he came back from Yangzhou, several injuries on his back were injured by a weak woman Zhao Qing.

On the straight official road from the south gate to the Qingbo Gate of Lin'an City from outside the city, it is just like the song that sang: East Gate Vegetables, West Gate Water, South Gate Firewood, and North Gate Miri Qingbo Gate Outside Firewood.

On the official road where people come and go, you can often see some wheelbarrows full of firewood, slowly walking towards the gate of Qingbo at the end of the front.

Li Heng and the ten guards behind him had been waiting on the edge of the official road since the dawn of the day, but until the sun was about to rise above his head, Li Heng did not see Zhao Shixiong and his daughter passing by.

The janitorial guard who was probing gasped, a puff of dust kicked up under his feet, and he ran quickly to Li Heng, breathless and said: "This time I really came, Taoist priests and nuns dressed up, followed by ten forbidden soldiers, pushing a cart full of firewood, ready to enter the city." ”

"Is it Zhao Shixiong and Zhao Qing's father and daughter?" Li Heng got up from the mound of dirt under the tree on the side of the road, walked to the middle of the official road, looked in the opposite direction of Lin'an City and asked.

"That's right, yesterday Tang Xiang went out of the mansion to the Taoist temple outside the city, and he met this person who was called Zhao Shixiong by Tang Xiang." The jailer gasped for breath and said with Fan Yangli in his hand.

"Prepare, no matter what, even if you die on this official road, you can't let Zhao Shixiong enter the city, understand?" The Yanling knife was held tightly by Li Heng, and at the end of his sight, a wheelbarrow full of firewood slowly appeared in his field of vision.

"Don't worry, unless he can drag my body into the city with him, he will have to stay outside the city honestly today." Another jailer had a military order.

Li Heng glanced at it with disdain, and said lightly: "I mean let them die, let's live, we can't stop the living from entering the city, then leave the dead outside the city." ”

There are not many pedestrians on the official road, not to mention that the sun is already hanging high overhead, and this should be the time when there are the least pedestrians on the official road.

The wheelbarrow and the ten forbidden soldiers behind him, looking not far ahead, lined up eleven Imperial City Division guards on the official road, after the wheelbarrow slowly stopped, one of them walked up to Li Heng, hugged his fists and said: "My lord doesn't know, but I'm doing an errand here?" The last general of the forbidden army was preparing to return to Lin'an City with this cart of firewood. ”

"You can go back to the city, but the two firewood sellers will have to stay." Li Heng looked at the wheelbarrow that had just stopped, and was about to pass along the side of the road, so he walked to the front of the wheelbarrow, stepped on the front of the wheelbarrow, stopped the wheelbarrow and said.

"My lord, this is the firewood that Lord Wang of the Ministry of War, who wants to have in his house, originally he would have prepared enough at home in the first day, but he had no choice but to ......." The forbidden soldier's face changed slightly, but he continued to walk up to Li Heng, who was stepping on the front of the wheelbarrow, and said with a pleasant smile.

"Well, I know. Then why don't you push the wheelbarrow back, as for this Taoist chief and Dao Gu or something, you can't enter the city. Li Heng looked at the middle-aged man who flashed out from behind the wheelbarrow and said.

Zhao Shixiong has been in the official position for a long time, and he has long developed a momentum of not being angry and arrogant, although he is holding the Taoist priest's hair in a bun and wearing a Taoist robe, but the pair of sharp eyes, as well as the momentum of the superior exuded from his body, still make Li Heng involuntarily put his feet down, and had to wait for this burly Zhao Shixiong.

"The old man Zhao Shixiong, before the first day, was still the prefect and pacification envoy of Yangzhou on Huainan East Road, was convicted and dismissed, and made a living by selling some firewood and the little girl. Zhao Shixiong's gaze watched Li Heng's feet slowly lower from the front of the wheelbarrow, which seemed to be transferred to Li Heng's face with satisfaction, and said in a deep voice.

"So what? Isn't it the same with the firewood you have worked so hard to get into the king's mansion? You and your daughter, there's no need to run again, right? Li Heng held the handle of Yanling's knife in his hand, and felt in his heart: It seems that Ye Qing's evaluation of Zhao Shixiong in front of him is also correct, not to lie to himself.

"The old man wants to thank Lord Wang for his help in person, not to mention ......." Zhao Shixiong's eyes that seemed to have their own majesty slowly swept over and were still lined up, but they were also all jailers who held the handle of the knife with their right hand and the crossbow on their waists, and then continued to say in a deep voice: "What's more, Lord Wang hasn't given the old man firewood money yet, so this trip to Lin'an, the old man has to go into the city in person, one is to ask for firewood money, and the other is to thank him in person, and I hope that the adult can be accommodating, how?" ”

"It's reasonable, but it's still not good." Li Heng frowned, watching the forbidden army slowly approach behind Zhao Shixiong, a threatening meaning and invisible pressure instantly rushed to his face, but he still shook his head and firmly refused Zhao Shixiong to enter the city.

"So, don't you plan to give the old man Zhao Shixiong this thin noodles?" Zhao Shixiong's tiger eyes shot at Li Heng, and he asked again with no refusal in his tone.

"Yes, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you." Li Heng took a few steps back slightly, and the Yanling knife in his hand had already been pulled out involuntarily because of the pressure Zhao Shixiong gave him.

And almost at the same time, the ten forbidden soldiers behind Zhao Shixiong were also holding the hilt of the sword, and they were about to pull out the sword from the sheath.

"Is it Ye Qing's little rabbit cub who asked you to stop the old man here?" Zhao Shixiong looked around and asked in a deep voice again.

And the ten jailers behind Li Heng, without waiting for Li Heng's signal, instantly gave up drawing their swords, took off the divine arm crossbow on their waists instead, put their hands on their strings, and began to aim at Zhao Shixiong and others.

"Hmph, I can't see that the Imperial City Division is so loyal to that little rabbit cub now!" Zhao Shixiong's face was calm, but the anger in his tone was getting stronger and stronger.

"Aren't you also loyal to Tang Xiang? Respond as soon as you call it. Li Heng said with a sneer.

For Zhao Shixiong to call Ye Qing a little rabbit cub and hate Ye Qing so much, he still knows some inside information.

At the beginning in Yangzhou, Ye Qing killed his only son, which indirectly made him lose his ambition to continue to compete in the court, and he began to think about avenging his son Zhao Hu.

So when Tang Siwei found him, Zhao Shixiong agreed without saying a word.

What's more, he was originally a member of Tang Sihui's line, and now he has been dismissed by the imperial court in the Taoist temple, even if he wants to support Tang Sihui above the court, he is already powerless, and he can continue to work for Tang Sihui, only this old life.

The moment Ye Qing followed the maid and stepped into Li Fengniang's embroidery building, for some reason, he had a feeling that he was like a beast and was enclosed in a cage.

But no matter what, now that you have stepped in, it is obviously impossible to retreat and retreat.

Li Fengniang, who was standing on the second floor again, had eyes like knives, with a smug smile on her face, and said lightly: "Lord Ye might as well come up, the palace has prepared tea on the second floor, so as to thank Lord Yuan Ri Ye for his help." ”

"Thank you, Crown Princess." Ye Qing looked up at Li Fengniang, although the easy-going smile on her face had not disappeared, her eyes were no longer as easy-going as a smile.

Li Dao and Li Lifang, since they pulled Li Fengniang, the crown princess, into the water, it means that no matter what happens today, they can't escape the situation of being yin.

Even if he didn't enter this embroidery building, even if he was able to get out of the back house of the Li Mansion just now, Li Dao would still think of fortifying himself to yin himself, digging a pit for himself, and setting a trap.

The maid who led Ye Qing in did not follow, but after taking Ye Qing to the staircase, she stretched out her hand in the void and asked Ye Qing to go upstairs.

There was a burst of Li Fengniang's smug laughter like a silver bell upstairs, and as Ye Qing's footsteps slowly lifted up the steps, Li Fengniang's laughter became more and more crisp, with indescribable pride and a ruthless taste.

"The minister has seen the crown princess." Ye Qing stood outside the gauze curtain and saluted at the vague figure inside.

Even when he went upstairs, he had carefully observed the entire embroidery building, and even at this moment, he still pricked up his ears high, listening to whether there was an ambush in the embroidery building, but he still couldn't be sure that there was something in the embroidery building that would kill him.

"Why, they all went upstairs, but they didn't dare to come in?" Li Fengniang asked lightly in the curtain.

The bustling hustle and bustle in the front yard of the Li Mansion would faintly enter the embroidery building from time to time, but Ye Qing was not happy at all at the moment, and he did not dare to relax his vigilance at all.

"Minister...... Yes, sir. Ye Qing stepped forward, originally wanting to sense the field knife tied to his leg, hoping to relieve the tension in his heart.

But the moment he lifted the curtain and stepped into the room, Ye Qing suddenly sounded again, and the one tied to his leg was not a field knife at all, but a female red scissors.

As Ye Qing expected, when he slowly raised his head and looked at Li Fengniang who was sitting in front of him, he saw that Li Fengniang at this time no longer had the noble elegance and charm just now, but looked at Ye Qing with a cold gaze and a disdainful smile.

"Do you want Hongu to say that you are stupid? Or are you bold? Lord Ye? Li Fengniang pinched the lid of the teacup leisurely, and after glancing at Ye Qing, she lowered her head and easily played with the tea in the cup.

"What does the crown princess mean by her words? The minister is stupid by nature, and he asked the princess for guidance. Ye Qing looked at the pair of jade hands like mutton fat jade, even the azure teacup lid, held by her slender jade fingers, it was quite a charm and artistic conception.

"Don't you pretend to be confused with me? You know that this is a trap set for you by this palace, but you still dare to break in, why do you tell me now that you don't understand? Li Fengniang put down the lid of the cup, picked up the teacup and got up slowly, and Lianbu moved lightly towards Ye Qing.

"The crown princess wants to frame the minister?" Ye Qing looked at Li Fengniang's pair of jade hands, holding the teacup that was still steaming, and slowly handed it to his chest and asked.
