I listened to his words, did not feel any danger, still stuffed the small piece of meat into my mouth and chewed it slowly, and at the same time heard the sound of chopsticks falling to the ground, I looked around, and saw Sanniang looking straight at the little guy, and blood dripped to the ground along his fingers. When I saw the blood, my heart suddenly became empty, although injuries and bleeding were too common for me before, but I have not lived this life for more than two years, and I am no longer familiar with this state.

Dad put down his chopsticks very calmly, helped his mother to stand up and ordered: "Madame, don't worry, you and A-Yao take the children to avoid the back hall and wait for ......" A-Yao is the little character of Dad's concubine, Mrs. Wan, and Dad has always called her so.

Before he finished speaking, several black-clothed men with long swords stood in front of the hall, and the man at the head covered his face with a black scarf, and the long sword in his hand was stained with blood. Someone hired each other with a lot of money, let us give a big gift to the Tang Guogong Mansion on the occasion of Tang Guogong's birthday, offended! After he finished speaking, he was about to break in, and the family members in the house either fell to the ground or fled in all directions, seeing that this formation could not be stopped at all.

Daddy shouted, "Wait! By whom do you command? Even if you die, you have to die to understand. ”

The man said coldly: "The day before yesterday, the Duke of the Kingdom sent a chapter to the province to discuss the matter of the prince in vain, and the words have come to this, does the Duke of the Kingdom need to ask more?" ”

After speaking, he jumped into the hall, and the mother and Mrs. Wan escorted us to retreat behind the father, who quietly took out an object from his waist and stretched it forward, which turned out to be a soft sword. Dad held the sword in his hand, and with a shake of his hand, he drew a sword flower.

The man was stunned when he saw his father's posture, as if he didn't expect to encounter resistance, and with a wave of his hand, the four black-clothed people behind him also rushed into the hall. I stood behind my mother, stretched out my head to take a closer look, and I only felt that the big thing was not good, with a pair of five, my father's always strong figure looked extremely thin at this moment. I don't know where I got the courage, and I struggled to rush to protect him, but my mother looked at me, stopped me behind me, and said softly, "Don't worry."

I can see that except for me, except for Sanniang, who is a little younger and slightly timid, the rest of the people are very calm and not worried at all, and under their influence, I am also a little calmer, quietly watching all this happening in front of me.

The black-clothed man at the head said, "I don't know the ...... of Tang Guogong below."

Before he finished speaking, Daddy stabbed a sword at the throat of the man in black, the man in black fell backwards again and again, dodged a sword sideways, and was about to fight back, Daddy leaned on the hilt of the sword, picked it up, and just hit the blade of the man in black, and with a "bang", half of the blade fell to the ground. The man in black looked at the sword that only half of his hand was left, his expression was astonished, and a fierce killing intent burst out of his eyes, and the four men in black standing on the side also rushed up and surrounded his father in the middle.

Dad didn't care about the four people behind him, and attacked the man in black headed by the sword, the man in black was forced to the corner, but he was not in a mess at all, turned over and stood behind the father, snatched the sword of his accomplice and stabbed behind the father, the father didn't even look at it, and at the same time turned around with the sword as a knife, and slashed at the man in black, the man in black couldn't dodge, and was pulled obliquely, and the sword in his right hand fell to the ground with a "clang".

The remaining four black-clothed people saw that the situation was not right, and glanced at each other, and then two people walked towards us, and the mother looked at her while retreating, and Mrs. Wan whispered in the ear of the mother: "Sister, you go first." ”

The mother shook her head and smiled, "It's okay. ”

Sure enough, within half a minute, Dad's eyes were already fixed on the man in black who was walking towards us, and he was also walking towards us. The other two men in black tried to block the way, but their swords were cut in half with two "clicks" from the father, and they retreated one after another, and the four men in black merged together.

The table was already in disarray, a corner of the delicate sandalwood table had been cut off, and the wounded man in black propped himself on the edge of the table, looking around, as if waiting for his accomplice who had not yet appeared.

The old man steadied his sword and said sharply: "I really want to know who wants to die?" ”

The injured man in black gasped and said with a wry smile, "You won't know." I just didn't expect that Tang Guogong was not only old and sophisticated, but also so good at swordsmanship. ”

Dad said: "The people of the 'Seven Don't Kill' Villa are getting worse and worse now. If you don't say it, I also know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent you, right? I beg you to go back and bring a word, I, Li Yuan, am definitely not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, so don't deceive people too much. ”

The injured man in black shook suddenly, almost fell down, and said in a trembling voice: "Don't talk nonsense! ”

Dad said with a smile: "In my early years, I traveled to the rivers and lakes, and I learned a few swordsmanship, but I didn't expect it to come in handy now." In the next sword, you go. ”

The other four men in black looked at the injured man in black when they heard this, the man thought for a long time, nodded slightly, and the four men in black put away their swords and stepped aside. The injured man in black barely stood still, and arched his hand: "Tang Guogong is so elegant, he is bowing down." After speaking, he was carried out of the front hall step by step.

I couldn't wait to get out from under my mother's sleeve and shouted, "Father, why did you let them go?" ”

The father watched the people clean up the messy ground, and said with a wry smile: "Built, you don't know, the rules of the 'Seven Don't Kill' Villa, don't hurt them." If we kill them, I am afraid that in less than three days, we will be dead. ”

I asked, "But let them go, in case they come back......

Before I could finish speaking, my father said, "No." If they miss, they won't come back. ”

This night, I got to know my dad even more - my dad is really unfathomable, and the founding king of the Tang Dynasty is really not an ordinary person.

Ever since Daddy had beaten those killers away that day, they hadn't come back. Almost a month has passed since this incident, and it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and an uninvited guest came to the house - Li Jing, the Gongcao of Chang'an County, who was despised by Wei Ting.

When Li Jing came to the mansion, his face was much thinner than half a year ago, and he was worried, he didn't come alone, he was followed by two people, holding two boxes, it seemed that he was here to give gifts.

Because I was very interested in Li Jing - for some reason, I was particularly concerned about his visit to the house, so when my father talked to him in the front hall, I didn't want to leave at all. Daddy didn't seem to want to drive me away, so I stood behind him in a grand manner.

Li Jing saw me, glanced at me, smiled slightly, and then said to his father: "I heard that a gangster assassinated Tang Guogong a month ago, and His Royal Highness the King of Jin was very worried. As he spoke, the man behind him handed the red box in his hand to his father and opened it.

I couldn't see what was in the box because of my height, so I had to look at my dad and wait to hear what they said.

Dad frowned when he looked at the contents of the box, and said in a deep voice: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin has good intentions, but he is trapping his uncle in injustice." ”

Li Jing said: "Don't worry, this is not the work of His Royal Highness the King of Jin. ”

Daddy let out an "oh" and didn't say anything. I was standing behind my father, and I felt a little sick when I smelled a hint of blood wading through the hall.

Li Jing continued: "Not only the prince, but half a month ago, His Royal Highness the King of Jin returned home from Daxing Palace, and he was actually stabbed on the street of Zhuque Gate, injuring his left share. Guogong thinks about it, what should His Royal Highness the King of Jin do to avoid disaster? ”

Dad said: "In this case, Shude thanked His Royal Highness King Jin for his kindness." If you talk about the way to avoid disaster, according to Shude, His Royal Highness King Jin is injured, and the emperor will probably ask, if there is evidence, why not use this to figure it out? ”

Li Jing nodded, and said, "It's just that there is no evidence." With a wave of his hand back, the two little men standing behind him willingly put away the wooden box and exited the front hall, and the smell of blood in the hall gradually faded.

Daddy stared at the gift he took out and said, "The evidence is not without evidence. As he spoke, he took off the hairpin that tied his hair and handed it to Li Jing, and his father's hair was scattered, looking a little nondescript.

Li Jing took the hairpin, I took a closer look, this is a very ordinary hairpin, the color is not very good, the color is like a dead branch, and the surface is very smooth.

Li Jing also looked at it carefully, puzzled: "This ...... Is that the proof? ”

Dad nodded and said: "You don't know anything about the pharmacist brother, this hairpin is the thing of Taizu, made of obsidian, extremely precious, and given to the emperor. The emperor also transferred it to the prince, but he didn't expect that he would send it to the palace when the people were full moon, and he wanted to win over, but Shu De didn't want to deal with His Royal Highness the prince, so he didn't take it to heart. I didn't want him to be at the end of his rope, so he had murderous intentions. ”

Li Jing said: "Having said that, how did this hairpin become evidence? ”

Dad said: "The owner of the 'Seven Don't Kill' Villa has a strange temperament and prefers strange things, His Royal Highness the Prince wants to invite him, with this hairpin, it is enough." ”

Li Jing smiled: "Li Jing is confused, such a simple and trivial matter, he would not have thought of it." just asked Tang Guogong to cut his love, Li Jing was really ashamed. ”

Dad said: "What's the matter with a hairpin? Now that the Jin Palace's Mansion and the Prince's Mansion are like enemies, it may not be easy to get such a thing. This matter should be done sooner rather than later, and His Royal Highness the King of Jin is also requested to report this matter to the emperor as soon as possible. ”

Li Jing said: "That's nature. As he spoke, he was about to take his leave.

The old man stopped him and said, "There is something that Shude wants to ask the pharmacist and the virtuous brother." ”

Li Jing said: "But it doesn't hurt to talk about it. ”

It was learned from the Assassins that they had come to the door only because of the discussion of the prince in Shude's recital. Shude was puzzled, Shang Shutai has always been controlled by the Duke of Yue, how could it be known by His Royal Highness the Prince? ”

Li Jing glanced at me, looking a little cautious, and my father smiled disapprovingly when he saw this: "It's okay to talk about it. ”
