Chapter 272: Escort Birth Gang
The person who came was not a robber, but a soldier and horse from Zhenhai, and the person who took the lead rode a high-headed horse, and it was Li Qi himself. Since Li Chengxuan and others went down the mountain in the early morning, he also went down the mountain, only to find that there was no "20,000 righteous army" outside Jinshan Temple at all, everything was Li Chengxuan's empty city plan! Thinking of what he did in Zhenhai, and the confused accounts in political and family affairs, he reacted to Li Chengxuan's intentions, and hurriedly brought people to stop him, so as to put Li Chengxuan under house arrest in Zhenhai.
Seeing that the five hundred guards did not board the ship, Li Qi's heart suddenly relaxed and jumped off the horse. He slowly walked to the front of the Shence army team and reported to himself: "Shang Shu, Zhenhai Jiedu envoy Li Qi, I have come to give the prince a ride." ”
There was no movement in the carriage, except for a commander from the Shence army, who hugged his fist at Li Qi and replied: "It turned out that Li Fu shot to see him off, which really scared me to wait." ”
Although he said this, he also knew that there must be an inside story, if Li Qi was just here to see him off, why did he need to bring two or three thousand soldiers and horses? And everybody was armed.
Li Qi obviously didn't look down on him as a commander, and didn't want to say more to him, so he only said: "This official has something important to discuss with the prince, get out of the way quickly." ”
The commander was also a tough character, and said with a smile: "It's okay to give in, but please Li Servant shoot your own body, take off your sword, and go to meet alone." ”
Li Qi was furious: "What kind of dog are you, you dare to stand in the way of this official!" ”
As he spoke, he pushed the commander away, and walked quickly to the gorgeous troika, where the Shence army obstructed it with swords, but was surrounded by Li Qi's soldiers and horses. The two sides were at a stalemate, waiting for an order from their respective masters.
Li Qi walked to the carriage without changing his face, made a gesture at will, and sneered at the car: "Xiaguan Li Qi, I suddenly remembered that there were some problems with this batch of birth gangs, and I came to ask the prince for guilt." ”
There was no answer in the carriage.
Li Qi's face sank, and he said, "Lord Wang, the lower officials have something important to tell you." ”
Someone inside the carriage seemed to yawn, but still didn't answer.
This is already extremely sluggish, Li Qi was furious, lifted the curtain of the car and shouted: "Lord Wang......"
As soon as the salutation came out, he was stunned - it was Xiao Guo sitting in the carriage, stretching his waist sleepily.
Xiao Guo seemed to have just discovered Li Qi's existence, and asked in confusion, "Huh?" How could Li Fujiao be here? I remember ......" he scratched his head, "am I dreaming?" ”
Seeing this, Li Qi's face turned pale: "What about the prince?" ”
"Lord Wang?" Xiao Guo scratched his head again, "The prince escorted the birthday gang to go first!" ”
"Escort the Birth Gang?" Li Qi was surprised, "What's in the box outside?" ”
"It's the prince's coat and crown!" Xiao Guo pretended to be puzzled, "What, is there a problem?" ”
Only then did Li Qi realize that he had fallen for the trick again, and his face became more and more cold.
Xiao Guo smiled: "Li Servant, you sent the Birthday Gang yourself, don't you know what the box looks like?" These boxes outside are engraved with a sinister pattern, which is for the prince! ”
Li Qi was so angry that he couldn't speak, and he also knew that it was too late to pursue King Fu again, so not only did he escape from Zhenhai, but he also gave away millions of treasures for nothing. He remembered everything he had encountered in the past few days, and the anger accumulated by all kinds of disasters exploded at this moment, and his anger shifted to Xiao Guo's head, and he shouted angrily: "Someone! Arrest the guards who committed the following crimes! ”
When Li Qi's guards heard this, they rushed to the carriage, but Xiao Guo was very surprised: "Where did I commit a crime?" ”
Li Qi snorted angrily: "You little guard dare to sit in a four-horse carriage and don't worship when you see this official, isn't it the following offense?" ”
As soon as he said this, the Divine Commanders all laughed. Li Qi looked left and right, not knowing what they were laughing at, and heard Xiao Guo ask: "Oh, I have always been unclear about the official rank of this dynasty, dare to ask Li Fujiao, what is your official position?" ”
Although Li Qi was annoyed, he still replied coldly: "This official is the Holy Shang's Qinfeng 'Shangshu Right Servant Shot', from the second grade. ”
"Hahahaha!" The Divine Commanders laughed even more presumptuously.
Only the commander of the guards barely coughed, and said with a smile: "Li Fuji, this one sitting in the carriage is the great-grandson of Guo Ziyi, the king of Fenyang County, the grandson of Princess Xianshengping and the grandson of the previous Duke Guo Xuan, the sister-in-law of the current saint, the eldest princess of Hanyang and the concubine Guo Jun, and the prince of Taiyuan County, Guo Zhongting." ”
"Taiyuan County ......" Li Qi was greatly surprised, and couldn't help but look at Xiao Guo in the car.
Xiao Guo still looked like he was smiling: "Ah! I, the prince of Taiyuan County, seems to be ...... Is it a second product? And it's a knighthood! ”
Li Qi looked at his smiling expression, and his heart was even more blocked. He couldn't help but think quickly - the Guo family, starting from Guo Ziyi, the king of Fenyang County, his eight sons and seven sons-in-law are all nobles, and there are more than ten heirs who marry princesses and county lords. In particular, Princess Shengping's husband Guo Hua not only won Guo Ziyi's title, but three of his four sons married the princess, and the other married the princess's daughter...... And Guo Guifei, the wife of the current saint, is the daughter of Guo Yu and the sister of Guo Jun, that is, the aunt of the Taiyuan County Duke in front of her.
Looking at the Tang Dynasty, the Guo family is the first family, and the relatives are all over the imperial court and various feudal towns and provinces, and most of them control the position of real power, both civil and military. "I'd rather offend the clan than offend the Guo family" is a very famous officialdom remark, which is no exaggeration! It can be said that he, Li Qi, has the courage to offend Li Chengxuan, the blessed king who has no soldiers and no power, but he really doesn't have the courage to offend the Guo family!
Looking at Xiao Guo's pretending to be ignorant, he couldn't help but sigh at the high acting skills of this Taiyuan county duke, who stayed in Runzhou for more than 20 days, but didn't teach him to see that he was a hidden talent! and Li Chengxuan...... It's not as simple as it seems.
Thinking like this, Li Qi had no choice but to suppress the anger in his heart and suffer this dumb loss. He took a deep breath, pulled away a dry smile, and replied: "It turned out to be Guo Jungong, and the lower official is really out of order." ”
Xiao Guo touched his chin when he heard this, still innocent: "Hey, at the beginning of the year, the emperor's uncle named me the county duke, I am not rare, I didn't expect it to be a little useful, at least I don't have to worship and worship!" ”
He squinted at Li Qi as he spoke, and said with a smile: "Those who don't know are not guilty, this county prince doesn't blame Li Servant, why don't you quickly let your subordinates put away all their weapons?" ”
"Yes." Li Qi smiled more and more forcefully, and gestured behind him, and his subordinates put away their weapons and knelt down to plead guilty.
Xiao Guo nodded with satisfaction: "Is there anything else wrong with Li Fuji?" If it's okay, the county is about to leave! Otherwise, I'm going to sleep on the river tonight. ”
"Yes, the next official will retire." Li Qi clenched the saber in his hand, turned around and walked back.
"Wait!" Xiao Guo suddenly called him in a deep voice.
Li Qi's heart tightened, and he turned back vigilantly, and saw Xiao Guo staring at him coldly, his eyes full of murderous intent, and he turned into a smile for a while: "Ah! I wanted to borrow the manpower of Li Fu's shooting, so I was embarrassed to speak. ”
