Chapter 724: Walking the Water
"How?" Li Xinchen reached out and untied his belt, and took off the very eye-catching red shirt on his body, revealing the black soft armor inside. In this Jiankang Mansion Longtan Tiger's Den, Li Xinchen didn't dare to relax the slightest, although the soft armor was very heavy, but his life was more important than suffering from this.
And Li Ping walked over quickly and handed him Li Xinchen's sword. Xu Deyan, who had been waiting next to him for a long time, said in a deep voice: "The crown prince and the king of Changsha led the ministers to ask to see His Majesty outside the palace gate, and there was no left guard general Fan Yi among them. ”
"In other words, Fan Yi is already at the South Gate or the rest of the barracks, ready to do it at any time, even if it doesn't have His Majesty's consent?" Li Xinchen raised his eyebrows, the situation was worse than he imagined.
Obviously, Shen Jungao and others did not naively think that Li Xinchen would not notice anything, so even if Li Xinchen has not moved anything and completed every step of the wedding, they are still prepared that Li Xinchen may escape, Fan Yi is not outside the palace gate, which means that as long as Li Xinchen appears, the East Palace will directly act mercilessly, as for whether His Majesty agrees at that time, or whether the East Palace convinces His Majesty, it does not matter.
After convincing His Majesty, they have more legal basis, and even if they really can't convince His Majesty - with Li Xinchen's understanding of Chen Xu, this possibility is almost non-existent, how much Chen Xu wants to attack him, Li Xinchen knows in his heart - then as long as they take Li Xinchen and the wood is already in the boat, I am afraid that Chen Xuan will also turn a blind eye.
Of course, if Li Xinchen is let go, the consequences will be serious.
But obviously, Shen Jungao, like Li Xinchen, is also desperate, he can't watch Li Xingchen marry the princess and get the identity of a concubine and then clap his hands and leave. You must know that Li Xinchen's identity as a concubine is even more noble than Shen Jun, but the real relatives of the emperor are different from Shen Jungao's ability to have a relationship with the crown prince.
Therefore, Shen Jungao didn't know what would happen after Li Xingchen got more room to play, he had to do it at this time.
From this detail, Li Xinchen could feel Shen Jungao's determination, so he had to be more careful.
Shen Jungao is a stable person, but the dog jumps off the wall in a hurry, and the rabbit bites in a hurry, the more such a person is, the more terrible it is to initiate a ruthless attack.
Therefore, Li Xinchen was not in a good mood to directly clash with Shen Jungao, and in Shen Jungao's territory, it was better for him to hurry up and leave.
In addition to Li Xinchen, Li Ping's personal guards are also fully armored, and they may be the only force that Li Xinchen can rely on from this mansion to the city gate. Although Yao Cha, Gu Yewang and others who were following him were also wearing armor and carrying swords, Li Xinchen did not have much confidence in the martial arts of these civil officials.
In this era, literati and scholars also practiced the style of swords, but this culture was more of a mutual entertainment when guests gathered, and it was not enough to deal with the bloody slaughter on the battlefield. Compared with Gu Yewang and Yao Cha, Xu Deyan, who has already experienced the tempering of the war, may perform better, and Li Xinchen is already very pleased to be able to protect himself.
Li Xinchen's gaze swept over these people, no matter what their identity was, and whether they had confidence or not, at least at this time, their gaze at Li Xinchen was very firm.
This is the path he chose, and Li Xinchen also gave them time to regret it, and even allowed them to leave first, but in the end they all stood here.
If you want to live, everyone will go out alive together, and if you want to die, you will die together in this Jiankang City.
Li Xinchen looked back at the carved beams and paintings in the dark, and took a deep breath, it seems that he is still not blessed with this prosperous life in a short period of time, and what really belongs to him and needs him is still the blood and fire on the front line.
"Let's go!" Li Xinchen went straight forward.
Behind him, Xu Deyan was holding a torch in his hand, and after hearing Li Xinchen's order, he directly threw the torch on the firewood and straw that had been piled up in the courtyard a long time ago, and the fire was blazing in an instant!
"It's water, it's water!" The guards who had been prepared for a long time shouted at the same time, and under the command of Yao Cha, a group of servants borrowed from Xu Ling began to evacuate people room by room, and at the same time, in a state of ignorance, Princess Ning Yuan was escorted by several maidservants.
"Take care of your sister." Li Xinchen passed by Princess Ning Yuan who ran over, and a sentence flew out of his mouth and flew into Ning Yuan's ears with the wind.
Princess Ning Yuan's footsteps paused, but when she turned back, where was Li Xinchen's figure around the corner? Although she had already seen that the fire was contained in the center of the courtyard, who could know if the wind would spread to the surrounding houses, so Ning Yuan didn't have time to chase Li Xinchen, and rescued her sister first.
When Ning Yuan rushed into the courtyard that was used as the wedding room in three steps and two steps, he happened to see the figure that he was very familiar with.
The fire was bright and dark, licking the sky, and the faces of everyone who rushed over in a hurry were red. And Lechang stretched out his hand and waved it to let the maid who wanted to come up to support him stand back, and walked slowly to the burning fire.
"Sister?!" Princess Ning Yuan hurriedly rushed over.
At this time, don't do stupid things!
And Le Chang smiled at her, reached out and picked up a torch, turned around and threw it straight into the wedding room decorated with red yarn!
Ning Yuan's eyes widened suddenly, and the flames instantly ignited the curtain in the room, and the fire began to burn without any barrier this time!
"Sister, you ······" Ning Yuan was a little surprised.
And Lechang said lightly: "This is the only place I can help now." ”
Behind her, the fire grew stronger, and the flames engulfed all the curtains and set all the carved beams on fire!
With a "click", the beams of the house were burned off, smashed hard, and fell heavily to the ground, and the sparks on the beams flew in all directions, and the sparks burst onto the surrounding houses, and the fire immediately burned again.
In the darkness of the fire, Lechang stood alone, silent.
It should have also seen the raging fire in the backyard, and the guests who had already taken their seats in the front yard let out an exclamation at this time. However, the servants and servants of the Xu family who appeared at this time guided them to leave one after another through several exits.
Of course, no one would be naïve enough to think that at this critical juncture, this fire burned out for no reason, or simply because of a mistake. How many people inside and outside this mansion are watching, afraid that something will happen, but everyone knows it in their hearts, and if it is really just a small accident, then why did Li Xinchen or Xu Deyan and other Li Xinchen's subordinates not stand up at this time, even if it was just to show up?
In the end, it was Xu Ling who presided over the order of the scene.
The old man didn't seem surprised by this, and ordered everyone to leave in an orderly manner, but it seemed to be ······ Xu Ling didn't mean to let the fire out?
