Chapter Ninety-Five: How Can a Husband Have No Power?



At the banquet, Aunt Sun sat on the top seat, eating home-cooked side dishes, and Feng Siniang and they talked happily, but they simply accepted five people as goddaughters during the banquet, only to see Li Ang shaking his head, of course he knew why Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang were so happy with Aunt Sun, speaking of which, they just wanted to support him for Doraza.

Since the great victory over Rome, Daqin has not moved the sword soldiers for 30 years, and the civilian group has been shrinking the military budget step by step, and the military department attached to the military hall has been raised, and even the Zhenfu Division has leaned on them, which can be said to be a good situation, maybe in a few years, they can start to seize military power and put the army under their control.

However, everything seems to have been reversed overnight, Liu Lian and the Ministry of War were found to have colluded with the Turks, Liu Lian was imprisoned, the Department of Suppression was purged, the Ministry of War resigned, and the cabinet spent 30 years to create a situation that was nullified. And he was involved in these things, thinking of the importance that the White Tiger Festival Hall valued him, and the emperor let him enroll in Taixue, Li Ang couldn't help but feel that he seemed to have fallen into the struggle of the court, but he didn't know what it was.

"What do you think?" Suddenly, Lin Fengshuang's crisp voice sounded in Li Ang's ears, bringing him back to his senses. "yes, what do you think, actually in a daze while eating?" Feng Siniang also asked with a smile.

"It's nothing, I'm just thinking about how lively the Tanabata night outside the city will be." Li Ang smiled and replied, today is the first day of the seventh month, and the half-month-long Qixi night party starts today.

"Then let's go out of the city to see the excitement later. Let's go with the aunt! Lin Fengshuang looked at Aunt Sun beside her.

"Auntie, this old woman won't go, Qixi Festival is a festival for you young people." Aunt Sun said happily that since she married Zhou Ting, it has rarely been such a happy time.

"Auntie is not old at all." Qing Zhi, who was sitting in Aunt Sun's arms, suddenly said loudly, which made everyone laugh.

"I'll go get the wine." Seeing that Aunt Sun and Lin Fengshuang were talking lively, Li Ang stood up. At this dinner, I knew that it was Mrs. Da Sima who sat at the top, and Trist and Cen Ji were both honest and abnormal. And Thule has always had no words, only the voices of a few women remain.

Walking on the corridor, Cen Ji shook his head and said, "Obediently, I haven't seen the proprietress speak so well, and the wind and frost girl is also amazing." If I hadn't known that the old lady was the wife of Da Sima, I would have thought that her old man also opened a black shop. ”

Listening to Cen Ji's words, Trist laughed, "You don't know, when Mrs. Sun was young, she had a name, called Rouge Tiger, but at the beginning, she led a group of women's soldiers, and the children of the family in Chang'an couldn't hold their heads up and be people!" ”

"It's so powerful, isn't it more horizontal than the boss lady!" Cen Ji listened to Trass (computer, the fastest update) to say this. The scar on his face jumped.

Li Ang listened to Cen Ji and Trist inquire about the past deeds of Aunt Sun, and laughed when he listened to it. Presumably, the old lady must have been a great beauty when she was young, otherwise how could those children of the family be willing to be beaten by her and not say a word.

Li Ang was shaking his head and laughing. Suddenly, his heart tightened, and at this time, Tulle beside him also pulled his clothes and said, "Master, it smells of strangers!" ”

"I know." Li Ang said in a low voice, and Trist and Cen Ji beside him were vigilant when they heard the conversation between the two.

"Lao Cen, Cui, you go back and tell Fengshuang and Siniang. I'll go with Thule to see. Leon's gaze pierced the darkness of the courtyard in the distance, and he frowned.

Armed with a crossbow. More than a dozen black-clothed people sneaked into the lobby of *** Tongming, they were all henchmen of Liu Liandi, the former commander of the Zhenfu Division, and they escaped the purge by luck, and their strength was not enough to attack the generals of the military hall in a high position, so they could only put their hatred on Li Ang's head first.

In front of the lobby, Trist looked at the two Kunlun slaves who looked like black charcoal, and glanced at them, but unfortunately Hei Mo and Hei Luo were honest and didn't understand what he meant.

"There are enemies, be careful to protect Miss and Mrs. Sun." Trist had no choice but to walk up to them and whisper. However, his voice fell, and the sound of arrows and feathers suddenly sounded in the darkness in the distance. Heimo and Heiluo reflected, and the two of them were also strong, and they blocked in front of Trist, drawing their short swords to block the crossbow arrows that were fired.

In the lobby, at the moment when the short crossbow was fired, Lin Fengshuang stood up suddenly, she had been in charge of the army since she was a child, and she didn't know how many battles she had fought, like Li Angtule, she had an almost terrifying battlefield intuition, and before Feng Siniang and Aunt Sun could reflect, she had overturned the round table, "Be careful!" ”

She lifted the table and blocked the arrows and crossbows that shot into the hall, everything was between the lightning and flint, Aunt Sun hugged the scared Qingzhi and Huo Xiaoyu tightly, and the long-term cultivation of kung fu made her face not have the slightest look of fear.

Trist and Cen Ji dragged Hei Mo, and Hei Luo entered the hall, pushed the door of the hall shut, and hid behind the round table. Looking at Trist and Cen Ji, who were dragging more than a dozen arrows in the black Mohero, Feng Siniang frowned, "Who is shooting arrows outside?" ”

"I don't know." Trist and Cen Ji said with bitter faces, the black light was blind, and they didn't know who sneaked in.

"It's a crossbow." Pulling out the arrow that pierced the solid wood round table, Aunt Sun looked at Dao, and then patted Qingzhi and Huo Xiaoyu, who were a little scared in her arms, and said, "Don't be afraid, there is a lady here." ”

At this time, outside the hall, there was a sound of breaking the door. Looking at the thick wooden round table standing quietly in the hall, Liu Lian's henchmen, who were already good crossbow arrows, began a series of shots at close range against the round table, and the sound of arrows and feathers was endless.

The arrow feathers shot into the air, and the seventeen men in black drew out the long knives in their waists and slowly stepped forward. Suddenly, the round table, which had been standing still, suddenly flew up and smashed into them. At the moment when they retreated, Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang killed them, and the double knives in their sleeves appeared, Feng Siniang held up the long knives of the two black-clothed people, and Lin Fengshuang beside her stepped forward like electricity, and grabbed a long knife, and the long knife was drawn one by one, and the two long knives that slashed at Feng Siniang were defeated. At the same time, Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang leaned together.

Trist's twin knives were like two lightning bolts that could turn, causing the three men in black who were facing him to jump to their feet and secretly curse this damn golden retriever. Cen Ji stood in front of Aunt Sun and the two injured Kunlun slaves, and the black big knife in his hand swept away the two long knives that rushed over.

For a while, there was a confrontation in the hall, and the seventeen black-clothed people were stunned and couldn't attack the semi-circular formation formed by Feng Siniang and them, and they stalemate. In the courtyard, Leon and Thule were in the dark corridors, dodging and shooting.

Li Ang suddenly jumped out, dressed in white like a lightning bolt in the night, and suddenly picked up the ash pole in the courtyard, for nearly a month, he had taken time to practice the 'Extremely Round Spear' every morning, and he also had a bit of heat, in such darkness, the long pole that could be cast was easier to resist the arrows than the sword.

"You go to the front hall and protect Qingzhi and them." In the whistling wind brought by the ash pole, Leon shouted at Thule behind him, and as he spoke, he blocked several arrows.

Tulle gritted his teeth, rolled on the ground, and rushed to the front yard of the hall, with the others walking. More than a dozen black-clothed people suddenly fell around Li Ang, pounced on him with knives, and in the darkness, there were still cold arrows shooting from time to time.

Li Ang shook off the ash pole, and in the howling wind, the dozen or so black-clothed people couldn't get close to him at all. As soon as the body shape was wrong, Li Ang dodged the cold arrow that shot again, but the shoulder was hot, and it was already grazed.

Outside Li Ang's mansion, on the rooftops of the surrounding mansions, the archers of Dongchang had already found those crossbowmen in the dark, and they shot powerful bows and arrows, shooting down the black-clothed people who were secretly putting cold arrows one by one.

Without the threat of cold arrows, Li Ang's ash rod shook more urgently, like a long worm spitting letters, in the violent wind, the three black-clothed people were swept by the ash rod in Li Ang's hand, and under the strong force of the trembling, the tiger's mouth burst out, the long knife was out of his hand, and the person fell to the ground. Li Ang became more and more courageous the more he fought, and the ash rod in his hand made him understand the 'extremely soft spear' more thoroughly in actual combat.

In front of the lobby. Tulle struck at the men in black who were wielding knives, only to find that another group of people appeared behind him, armed with crossbows, and shot at the men in black.

Xu Yanran rushed into the hall with a knife, and said to Aunt Sun, who was protecting the two children, "Let these thieves disturb Madame, and I hope Madame will forgive me." ”

"Cao Shaoqin. Why didn't he come? Aunt Sun straightened up, looked at Xu Yanran who walked in, and said coldly, "He already knew that there was a killer here, and he was using his old body as bait, right?" ”

Seeing that Aunt Sun's face was frosty, Xu Yanran's face was yellow. Dongchang did find out that Liu Lian's henchmen wanted to take revenge on Li Ang a long time ago, but they didn't know it well, so they set up people outside Li Ang's mansion, and wanted to catch them all when they started, but they didn't expect that the British duchess in front of him was also involved.

"Madame's words are serious, if you know that Madame is here, how dare the little one make a mistake and put Madame in danger." Xu Yanran pretended to be calm and said, in fact, the people of Dongchang knew that Aunt Sun was here, but the governor did not speak. They didn't dare to come to report it, and now they had to try to get out of the relationship.

"Who is Cao Shaoqin? The old body knows better than you, and you don't have to excuse him. The old man will settle accounts with him for this matter, so let's go! Aunt Sun glanced at Xu Yanran and waved her hand. At this time, Aunt Sun was waiting outside the house before the guards rushed in, and when she heard these words, she couldn't help but stare angrily at the people and horses in Dongchang, calling Xu Yanran to say that she was suffering.

Soon, the men and horses of the East Factory dragged the corpses of those Liu Lian's henchmen. Retreat cleanly. Aunt Sun looked at her own guards who came and couldn't help sighing. "If I had been a child, you wouldn't have been able to be a guard." Her words made the group of guards bow their heads in shame and dare not make a sound.

Li Ang rushed back to the hall with a gun, only to see Lin Fengshuang coaxing the frightened Di Qingzhi, his face couldn't help but change, what he was most worried about was that this incident would scare this sister, thinking of the scene three years ago, his hand holding the gun clenched suddenly.

"Qingyuan, you come with the eldest mother, the eldest lady has something to tell you." Seeing Li Ang's discolored face, Aunt Sun sighed and said, she naturally knows that people like Li Ang are easy not to get angry, but when they get angry, it is definitely not easy to calm down, and what Dongchang did this time was indeed excessive.

"Auntie, I know what you think in your heart, Dongchang used you as bait without informing you, it is indeed overdone." Aunt Sun looked at Li Ang, who was standing in front of her and had calmed down, and felt a little relieved, "But your arms can't twist your thighs, and if you want to seek justice with them now, you can't do anything at all." ”

"Qing Yuan knows." Li Ang replied in a low voice, he understood the meaning of Aunt Sun's words in front of him, although he was valued by the emperor and the military hall now, he was still just a soldier from a humble family, and his identity was different from those big families.

"Don't worry, today's matter, the eldest mother will definitely seek justice for you." Aunt Sun glanced at Li Angdao.

"Qing Yuan doesn't dare to trouble the eldest lady, Qing Yuan will deal with this matter himself in the future." Li Ang declined Aunt Sun's kindness, and her calm face made Aunt Sun sigh secretly.

"Okay, the eldest lady doesn't say much else, when you are done protecting the princes, remember to come to the eldest mother's house to sit." After saying what she wanted to say, Aunt Sun shook her head and left with a group of guards.

Taking Qingzhi from Lin Fengshuang's hand, Li Ang hugged his sister tightly and said softly, "Be good, don't be afraid, brother is here." After coaxing Qingzhi to sleep, Li Ang returned to the hall where there was still a remnant of blood.

"Tulle, starting tomorrow, you should do more vigilant traps around your house." Li Ang said in a deep voice, the grim look on his face made everyone's hearts cold, "Ah Cui, you go and hire more family members to come back tomorrow." ”

Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang bandaged the wound on Li Ang's shoulder, silent, they knew that the man they liked this time was really angry, although he didn't say it, but they knew in their hearts that Li Ang would definitely settle accounts with Dongchang in the future.

"Childe, why don't we go and buy a few mastiffs and raise them in the yard, this thing is better than those families." Cen Ji, who had been silent, said suddenly that when he was the king of the mountain in the past, he had raised several mastiffs and was very impressed.

"Mastiffs?" After hearing this, Li Ang nodded, "It's okay, you go and buy the best, don't be afraid of spending money." ”

The night is dark, in the study, Li Ang thought of tonight's events, and couldn't help but be a little afraid, if it weren't for the people of Dongchang who had already laid an ambush, I'm afraid tonight... Thinking of this, for the first time, he had a desire for power, if he wanted to survive in Chang'an, and if he wanted to do what he wanted to do, he had to have the power to compete with those who were in high and powerful positions, otherwise, he would be just a bait and a pawn in the hands of others after all.

"Don't let this happen tonight!" Li Ang pinched out the candle flame, and in the dark, he sat quietly, and the cold light in his eyes made people want to shiver.
