Zhang Wuye took his followers to Li Yan and Wu Niang, looked Li Yan up and down, and found that Li Yan was not wearing official uniforms, and the others were also blue cloth clothes, and they did not look like officials and soldiers at all. So he immediately became bold and asked loudly, "Who are you?!" The one with the sword and the bow is going to rebel?! ”

"Who are you?! You're here to ask about these things?! Li Yan asked unceremoniously.

With a "bang", Li Yan's personal soldiers reached out and grabbed the handle of the one-handed long knife inserted in the front left side of the saddle for the first time, ready to draw their knives and kill the enemy at any time. This knife was specially made by Blacksmith Zhou for Li Yan, and it was a Japanese knife imitated by Qi Jiguang back then. Li Yan felt that this knife was long and the arc of the blade was moderate, and it was suitable for the cavalry to deal with the unarmored enemy, so he asked the blacksmith Zhou to fight fifty, but replaced the long handle with a short handle. Li Zhong and Li Mu were also given ten each, which were used to equip their own soldiers.

Zhang Wuye took a step back, looked at the soldiers who were still riding on horses, and said loudly with a weak heart: "What are you doing here?!" This is Kaifeng, not a place for you to spread wild. ”

Without Li Yan's order, these pro-soldiers naturally would not attack, but they did not take their hands off the hilt of their swords. They all stared at Zhang Wuye coldly, but they looked at Li Yan out of the corner of their eyes, as long as Li Yan gave a signal, they would be able to kill this arrogant guy immediately.

Seeing that those soldiers did not react, Zhang Wuye pointed at Wu Niang beside Li Yan and shouted, "You come over to me!" What's the point of hiding behind that guy?! ”

"Who are you?" Li Yan asked lightly.

Zhang Wuye said loudly: "I am his father-in-law, I am looking for my wife, what is the matter with you?!" ”

Li Yan turned his head and asked Wu Niang, "Is he your father-in-law?" ”

Wu Niang hurriedly shook her head and said, "No! I don't know him. ”

As soon as Zhang Wuye heard Wu Niang's denial, he immediately said loudly to the sister-in-law of the Wu family: "You say, you come and tell him, am I her father-in-law?" ”

The sister-in-law of the Wu family stepped forward and said loudly: "Wu Niang has indeed promised this Zhang Wuye, as long as the imperial court seals it, they will be able to get married." This is set by the palace, this, this official still don't blindly participate. ”

"Who are you?" Li Yan frowned and asked. He didn't expect to meet the people of the palace here.

The sister-in-law of the Wu family replied: "The little woman is the inner person of the servant of the palace, and the little woman's husband's surname is Wu, and she waits for the carriage and horse in the palace. The little woman was in charge of serving Wu Niang, and this time the little woman was ordered to bring Wu Niang to see the honor guests. ”

Li Yan looked back at Wu Niang.

Wu Niang immediately explained: "It's true that she is a servant of the palace, but that disciple, he is not my husband." Even if I die, I won't marry that hungry wolf! ”

The sister-in-law of the Wu family saw that Wu Niang admitted her identity, so she boldly stepped forward and went to pull Wu Niang.

Li Yan didn't know what to do at this time, he was from the palace, and it was not easy for him, an outsider, to interfere. So he didn't stop him.

Wu Niang was dragged by the Wu family's sister-in-law to Zhang Wuye's side, he struggled hard, but he was not as strong as the Wu family's sister-in-law. He looked back at Li Yan, his eyes full of despair, and shouted loudly: "Isn't Childe just going to die like this?!" ”

Li Yan looked at Wu Niang and looked at those eyes full of despair. He hesitated for a moment, then shouted, "Slow! ”

With a few sounds, Li Yan's own soldiers all pulled out their long knives and spread them slightly on the right side of their bodies like birds' wings. This is an attack on the infantry, as long as they control the height of the sword, with the help of the speed of the horse, they can kill the enemy with a slight swing of the sword.

Looking at the bright knife, the sister-in-law of the Wu family quickly stopped and let go of the struggling Wu Niang. Wu Niang took the opportunity to run back to Li Yan's side.

Li Yan waved his hand and ordered: "Take it!" ”

There were a few more "swishs", "swishs", and the soldiers skillfully put the long knife back into the scabbard.

"Li Bantou," Li Yan said, "Since these people, one claims to be the honor guest of the palace, but the other does not recognize it. This kind of thing, should Liu Xunpress also take care of it? ”

Li Bantou was very embarrassed, and it was a matter of the palace, and he didn't want to take care of it. The governor did not have his own subordinates, they were all transferred from the governor's yamen, they were all local natives, but they didn't want to mess with the Zhou Wangfu.

Zhang Wuye didn't react for a long time when he saw that "Li Bantou", thinking that Li Yan was scaring him. So he said proudly: "What kind of team leader? I don't care who you are, get out of the way! Otherwise, if the prince sends a message, you will all have to go to prison! ”

Li Yan arched his hand to Li Bantou and said: "Li Bantou, show them their waist cards, so as not to be caught in prison as a liar." ”

Li Bantou was helpless, so he had to take out the waist card and hold it in his hand, and said: "I am the team leader under the Henan Patrol Imperial Shi Liu, this is the waist card, you can take a closer look!" ”

"Just watch." Zhang Wuye didn't care about it, and he was about to step forward to get the waist card.

But the sister-in-law of the Wu family immediately said: "Since it is the errand of the patrol lord, then we will not bother." As he spoke, he gave Zhang Wuye a look and asked him to leave with her quickly.

She turned around and hurriedly walked a few steps before she remembered Wu Niang. turned around and said, "Wu Niang, you go back by yourself, just follow the official road." After speaking, he hurriedly left with Zhang Wuye.

"What are you afraid of?" After walking out for a while, Zhang Wuye asked in a low voice.

The sister-in-law of the Wu family explained in a low voice: "This is the official who patrols the imperial history, how many things in the palace are compliant?" Let's just talk about your marriage, Wu Niang's mother is an additional concubine, and Wu Niang naturally can't ask for a seal. This time, Wu Niang asked for the seal, and it should still be recorded in the name of the second concubine or Concubine Chen. Even if it is Zhang Guiren, she is also an excess concubine. If these things were known by the imperial historian, the emperor would be guilty. Now that there are wars everywhere, the emperor is short of silver, isn't this sending meat to the wolf's mouth! ”

"Oh, and all these things?" Zhang Wuye was stunned when he heard this, he just felt that the palace was quite majestic, especially after his cousin was favored, his cousin's whole family trembled. There are more and more granges, the houses are getting bigger and bigger, and the various rewards of the palace are also continuous. I didn't expect the palace to be afraid?

"Then aren't you afraid to let the Inspector Yushi know now?" Zhang Wuye asked nervously. This is about himself, if he is condemned by the emperor, will he be implicated?

The lady of the Wu family said: "I don't know, I have to go back and tell Zhang Guiren to go, so that the palace can have a countermeasure." ”

As they spoke, they came to the carriage. The sister-in-law of the Wu family got into the car and told the coachman to hurry back. At this time, Zhang Wuye said: "Sister-in-law of the Wu family, if you have any letter, you can let someone notify me." Also, bring a good gift to my cousin, I will prepare a gift another day, and let my mother go to see my cousin. ”

"Got it, got it." The sister-in-law of the Wu family casually perfunctory a few words, and urged the coachman to leave quickly. This is a big deal, and there can be no delay.
