10th day of the first lunar month

Princess Taiping didn't know what Li Sanlang meant, but looking at him so confidently, it seemed that she must be sure of victory, Princess Taiping's gaze crossed Li Sanlang, and finally fell on Li Ke behind him, could it be that Li Sanlang was referring to him? Princess Taiping couldn't help but gasp, she had seen Li Ke's martial arts, could it be that Li Sanlang dared to let Li Ke kill him?

Li Sanlang stopped laughing, turned around slowly, glanced at Li Ke, and whispered, "Gao Jian! Li Ke understood in his heart, if he wanted to let Li Ke kill Princess Taiping, Li Ke would not obey, no matter what crime Princess Taiping committed, without trial, directly assassinated, then Li Ke must be unable to escape the disaster, his original intention to come to Shendu was to get rid of the guilt on his body, so that he could live with his wife and children carefree, if he killed Princess Taiping at this moment, then he may have to spend the rest of his life in hiding. At this moment, Li Sanlang talked about Gao Jian, of course, he didn't let Li Ke kill him, but just showed him and the two of them martial arts, so as to threaten and force Princess Taiping to return to the officer's family.

As soon as Li Sanlang's words fell, Li Ke drew his sword and attacked Gao Jian, Gao Jian didn't know martial arts, the difference in strength between the two was huge, and when Gao Jian saw Li Ke's movements clearly, Li Ke's sword was already on Gao Jian's neck, Gao Jian was so frightened that his face was as white as paper, and he sat down slowly when he wanted to stand up, and muttered in his mouth: "The hero spares his life... Heroes spare their lives! ”

Li Ke's movements were too fast, and the change in a moment was too sudden, Princess Taiping didn't react for a while, she was cared for by the two saints in every way since she was a child, and no one had ever been disrespectful to her, this was probably the first time in her life that someone dared to face each other with a sword in front of her, even if she was arrogant, she couldn't help but be a little discolored, but she still said in a trembling voice: "You are bold!" Are you going to rebel? ”

Li Ke didn't answer, and Li Sanlang continued to say coldly: "Auntie is fallacious, I'm afraid it's you who is plotting to rebel now, right?" ”

Li Sanlang's words made Taiping speechless for a while, she didn't dare to shout for help, she had seen the process of Li Ke's restraining Gao Jian just now, as far as Li Ke's skills are concerned, if you want to take the heads of the two of them, it can really be said that it is like taking something from your bag, Taiping looked at Li Sanlang and continued to tremble and said: "This palace still doesn't believe that you really dare to kill the two of us today!" ”

Li Sanlang still sneered, and continued: "Aunt Hui, I have just said that you and I are close relatives, and things have not come to that point, I will never want to meet each other in arms, but if I really force people into a desperate situation, I am afraid that I will not be able to care about so much family affection." Speaking of this, Li Sanlang's eyes suddenly showed a fierce light, his eyes stared straight at Princess Taiping, and he said sharply: "If I remember correctly, didn't my aunt plan to kill her nephew just now?" ”

Li Sanlang's sharp eyes did make Princess Taiping feel frightened, Princess Taiping and Li Dan are brother and sister who grew up together, but why the person in front of her is completely different from her father, it can be said that there is a world of difference, Princess Taiping can't figure out Li Sanlang's temperament for a while, who knows if he will really kill himself. Seeing that Princess Taiping was speechless for a while, Li Sanlang continued: "If my aunt asks me how to explain to Your Majesty, Saburo will also have his own explanation. He turned his head to look at Gao Jian, and continued: "Gao Jian plotted to rebel and incited the princess's soldiers to kill Princess Taiping. When Gao Jian dies, there is no proof of death, and I believe that Your Majesty will not be too embarrassed! Li Sanlang turned around and walked slowly to the window, looked at the government soldiers outside, and then said: "As for them, they can be a bounty according to what I say, and if they don't do what I say, they will be executed on the spot and mutiny!" You have to die to be real! But I think they'll all choose the former! ”

Li Sanlang turned around and stared at Taiping tightly, he was waiting for her final reply. But Taiping deliberately avoided his eyes, his words to Taiping, can be described as a word of heart, her unconscious body began to tremble a little, today she actually lost to the young man in front of her, she closed her eyes, a tear slipped from the corner of her eye, not because of fear, but more because her psychological defense line completely collapsed.

After a long time, Taiping slowly opened his eyes, and said weakly: "If the palace releases the generals' families, can you protect the lives of the palace and Gao Jian!" It can be heard that Princess Taiping seems to have given up resistance.

Li Sanlang saw that Taiping's tone was relaxed, so his tone eased, and he said: "Aunt Taiping, you are my relative, how can I try to harm you, I came today just to let my aunt not fall deeper and deeper and restrain herself from the precipice!" ”

Princess Taiping looked up at Li Sanlang and continued to ask, "Is San Lang's words credible?" ”

Li Sanlang replied affirmatively: "Credible! ”

Princess Taiping: "What are you going to do next?" ”

Li Sanlang pondered for a moment and replied: "If my aunt is willing to let go of the generals' families and give up planning a mutiny, Saburo will use Xiang Shang's head as a guarantee, and will do his best to maneuver and never let the generals embarrass my aunt; In addition, this matter has come to an end, and I will also urge the crown prince and father not to report this matter to His Majesty, and today's incident will be as if it had not happened. ”

After hearing this, Princess Taiping sighed and said, "The matter has come to this, I hope you can keep your word!" She turned her head to look at Gao Jian and said, "Go and release the people quickly!" ”

Seeing that Princess Taiping agreed to release her, Li Sanlang finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but at this moment, Li Ke suddenly said: "Li has something to ask the princess." ”

Princess Taiping's nerves relaxed a little tightened again, and she looked at Li Ke with a frown and asked, "What does Captain Li want to ask?" ”

Li Ke turned to look at Princess Taiping and asked, "Princess, who is Keduo?" ”

Li Ke was short of eight words, but the atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense again, Li Sanlang didn't expect Li Ke to ask this question, Princess Taiping didn't expect it, for a while, Princess Taiping's expression began to become flustered, and her voice trembled and replied: "Ben... Hongu, I don't know! ”

Taiping's answer was within Li Ke's expectations, if he replied so easily, then her answer Li Ke didn't believe it, Li Ke didn't expect Princess Taiping to tell the truth at the moment, he just wanted to test whether Princess Taiping had anything to do with this Keduo, and he already knew a little bit about Princess Taiping's performance just now.

Li Ke continued to ask: "Shi Caiwu was under the porch, and I heard the princess ask Lord Gao, what is his opinion?" Dare to ask who is he? ”

This question was also unexpected by Princess Taiping, and she said hesitantly: "This palace... When... Ever said that? Suddenly, Princess Taiping's face changed, and she scolded sharply: "What kind of identity are you, even a single lieutenant dares to come to interrogate the palace!" She continued to shout angrily at Li Sanlang: "San Lang, is this how you discipline your subordinates? Princess Taiping was also forced to ask that there was no choice but to play tricks.

Li Sanlang didn't want the things that had been discussed before to change again, and this Keduo matter could continue to be investigated, but the matter of saving people was imminent, so he softened his tone and said: "Auntie is right!" Li Sanlang hurriedly walked to Li Ke's side, stretched out his hand and pulled Li Ke's arm, made a look, and signaled Li Ke not to continue to dwell on this matter, it was important to save people. Li Ke was helpless, so he could only sigh lightly and said: "There is no form in the next place, and I hope that the princess will not be blamed!" ”

Li Sanlang continued: "Auntie, you see that he knows that he is wrong, so let's go and release him first." ”

Li Sanlang said this, and Princess Taiping couldn't continue to entangle, so she waved her hand at Gao Jian and said, "Take the two of them to release them." ”

Gao Jian hurriedly let go, dodging the sword that Li Ke held on his neck, and a blood mark had been pressed out of his neck, Gao Jian gently rubbed his neck while leading the way, daring to be angry and dare not speak.

After a while, Gao Jian had already taken the two of them to the place where the family was being held, which was the room where Li Ke had come before, and Gao Jian said to the guards: "The princess has a life, release the family." After that, the guards hurriedly retreated, Gao Jian took out the key from his sleeve and opened the door, Li Sanlang and Li Ke saw the door open, and immediately prepared to enter, but Li Ke just stepped into the door and folded back, he was afraid that Gao Jian would cheat, so he grabbed Gao Jian's arm and brought him into the house together.

After entering the house, Li Ke looked left and right, there were more than 20 people in total, all women and children. Li Sanlang arched his hand and said, "You have suffered, and the two of us are here to save you." As soon as everyone heard that someone had come to rescue them, they immediately got up and gathered around, and one of them, a little girl of about four or five years old, recognized Li Ke and shouted: "Uncle, uncle!" ”

Li Ke knew that her voice was the little girl lying in the crack of the door just now, Li Ke picked up the little girl and said to everyone: "Everyone go quickly!" So they followed him out of the house. Li Ke was still not at ease, hugged the little girl with one hand, and grabbed Gao Jian's arm with the other, and said, "I still bother Lord Gao to give us a ride." Gao Jian had no choice but to slowly walk through the back door with more than twenty of his people.

Li Ke and his entourage finally got out of the princess's mansion smoothly, and Gao Jian said impatiently: "You can release me now, right?" ”

Li Ke shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's not okay, I have to bother Lord Gao to send another ride, and when everyone is safe, I will let the adult go." ”

Gao Jian dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, so he could only continue to follow Li Ke. Heng Yanfan and Wei Ling, who were hiding in the distance, saw that everyone had safely left the princess's mansion, and hurriedly greeted them, and the little girl in Li Ke's arms saw Heng Yanfan from a distance, so she shouted: "Father! ”

Heng Yanfan ran over and picked up the little girl from Li Ke's arms, almost crying with joy, Li Sanlang hurriedly urged: "Everyone, go quickly!" It's not safe yet! ”

Everyone nodded, and continued to walk towards the street where the soldiers of the Yulin Army were ambushed, Jinghui saw Li Sanlang and others coming from a distance, and hurriedly waved his hand to gather all the soldiers, and after Li Sanlang and others arrived in front of him, Jinghui hugged his son, and almost cried with joy.

Gao Jian looked at the assembled soldiers, and couldn't help but be a little shocked, at first he was only skeptical of Li Sanlang's words, but now he couldn't help but be afraid, if it was really a fight, he would definitely be the losing side; Li Sanlang walked up to Gao Jian and said, "Thank you for sending it off, please go back!" Li Sanlang pointed to the soldiers behind him again, and said to Gao Jian: "Please tell my aunt on behalf of Li Sanlang, Li Sanlang never speaks falsely, and never breaks his word!" Then he turned and mounted his horse, and galloped away with the people.
