People are like the wind, horses are like dragons, and in the blink of an eye, the three people and three horses kicked over the fruit stalls and cold drink stalls on the side of the road, and also knocked down a vendor who was carrying a burden, and rushed to Shi'er's front like a whirlwind.

Shi'er bit the sugar gourd in her mouth, opened a pair of innocent and frightened eyes, stunned, motionless, and let the current white horse's hoofs rise high churn overhead, and saw that the thick hooves were about to fall on top of her head.

"Time, be careful!" Zhang Hou was shocked, he wanted to rescue but he couldn't reach it, he was far away, even if he could fly, it was too late.

Xia Xiang was also shocked, the incident happened suddenly, even if he commanded Xiao Wu to help, he was afraid that it would be a step too late. Shen Baoren was on the horse, and he was so drunk that he was stunned, and he didn't even have time to scream.

Only Xiao Wu reacted, his footsteps moved, moving like a rabbit, and he was only one step away from Shi'er in an instant, but the distance within reach was as far away as the end of the world at this time, and the horse's hooves tossed a few times above Shi'er's head, and suddenly fell!

When they all thought that Shi Er would die under the horse's hooves, Shi Er grinned, the sugar gourd in his hand was still in his mouth, and his figure flickered, like a dragonfly dotting water, and turned around lightly - the horse's hooves fell to the ground with a bang, only a few feet away from Shi Er's shoulder.

"Hey, hey, horses are brutes who don't look at the road and don't know people, are you also a brute? Do you know that you just almost hit me! Shi Er escaped death, he didn't know what to fear, the sugar gourd in his hand pointed at the person on the horse, and said angrily, "Hurry up and get off the horse and apologize to me and admit your mistakes, and, you just knocked over three stalls and one person, those who should admit their mistakes admit their mistakes, and those who should lose money lose money, do you hear?" ”

Immediately, there were three people, the leader was young and weak, with big eyes and long eyebrows, a face like a crown of jade, big ears, slightly narrowed eyes, and a proud look. Dressed in a gorgeous costume, he has a cloud-patterned robe on the right side, a sword at his waist, and the hilt is made of ivory, and it is inlaid with red and green gemstones.

Strangely, this person has a bun on his head, and an ebony hairpin is inserted horizontally.

It's rare to dress up in such a nondescript way. Confucianism in Daxia is an orthodox doctrine, and Taoism is respected by the saints today, and the style of learning Taoism above the court is prevalent. However, folk believers in Buddhism are far better than those who learn Taoism, because Taoists have more alchemy, and alchemy requires a lot of money, and the people have no spare money. Believing in Buddhism is much simpler and easier, just burn incense and worship the Buddha and read the scriptures. There is a folk proverb that says, the rich learn the Tao and the poor believe in Buddhism, learn morality in this life, and recite the Buddha in the next life.

Xia Xiang secretly glanced at the person who came, although this person had his head tied in a bun to show his heart to the Dao, he did not have half of the Dao fairy bones on his body, and he was not even as free and easy as Cao Shujun. It can be seen that whether learning the Tao or believing in Buddhism does not depend on whether you are wearing a Taoist robe and reciting Buddhist scriptures, but whether you are sincere.

After Xia Xiang's eyes fell on the two people riding horses behind, he couldn't help but be taken aback, and almost screamed!

The two of them are none other than Li Dingshan in Zhongshan Village, and Gao Jianyuan and Yan Hao, who met by chance at the gate of the Third Prince's Mansion!

It's really a narrow road, Li Dingshan and Xiao Jia are nowhere to be found, Xia Lai Xia's life and death are uncertain, all thanks to the two of them, if you say that there is no malice towards the two, Xia Xiang thinks that he is not a saint and can't do it.

When Xiao Wuyi saw Yan Hao, it was like seeing a ferocious beast, he straightened his body in an instant, his eyes stared straight at Yan Hao, and he looked like he was facing a great enemy, he took half a step back, his left leg tilted slightly, and his right leg bowed, like an arrow that could be shot at any time, waiting for him.

Gao Jianyuan and Yan Hao also spotted Xia Xiang and Xiao Wu, and the two glanced at each other with slight surprise.

"Get out of the way!" As soon as the man on the horse lifted the reins, the horse's hooves took off again, and the man stood up, he looked at the sky indifferently, and did not look at Shi'er, "You have delayed the king's major event, and you can't afford ten cheap lives!" If you don't get out of the way, a sword will put your head on the ground. ”

With a sound of "Zheng", the person on the horse drew his sword in his hand, and the tip of the sword pointed at the time.

Zhang Hou was furious, he has always cherished time like a pearl in his palm. Although Shi'er grew up in Jianning, it is not as prosperous as Quanzhou, Lin'an, and Shangjing, but he is also from the family of the official eunuch, with fine clothes and jade food, and a group of followers, how can he ever be wronged? I didn't want to meet such an invincible person when I first arrived in Beijing, and he was straightforward, so he had an attack immediately.

"Who are you, so arrogant and arrogant in broad daylight?" Zhang Hou didn't have a sword, in a hurry, he waved the fan in his hand, blocking the sword of the man on the horse to the side, he pointed at the nose of the man on the horse angrily, "You quickly dismount and apologize, slow down for half a minute, don't blame me for beating you open." ”

Zhang Hou has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, although he is not good at martial arts, but he has also practiced strength and courage, and he dares to hang the inscription in the air.

"Beat this king's skin and flesh? Haha, haha. The man on the horse seemed to have heard the most ridiculous joke in the world, looked up to the sky and laughed, halfway through the laughter, the laughter stopped abruptly, the sword fell in his hand, and he cut Zhang Hou's fan into two from it, his laughter turned into a sneer, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, "Listen to your accent is a southerner?" Haven't been to Shangjing, have you? No wonder you are so ignorant and ridiculous, I'm afraid you don't know who this king is? Takamimoto ......"

"Yes." Gao Jianyuan responded, lifted the reins, took a step forward, and looked down at Zhang Hou condescendingly, "Listen, this is King Jing's son, and he is ordered to investigate the case of favoritism and fraud by Yang Di, a scholar of Hanlin." The circumstances of the case are serious, and anyone who obstructs the investigation of the case will be punished as the same crime. ”

What the? Xia Xiang was shocked in his heart, Yang Yan cheated for personal gain? How can it be? Although he didn't know Yang Di, he had also heard of Yang Di's character, knew that Yang Di was upright, honest and honest, never reported anything illegal, and had always been low-key and calm.

No, this year, Yang Di is the chief examiner, if he is investigated for favoritism, then there is no doubt that Zhigongju will change people, Xia Xiang was shocked in his heart, thinking of Gao Jianyuan and Yan Hao going to Zhongshan Village to arrest Li Dingshan, and then comparing the year of this year's big exam, as well as the lack of health and childlessness under the knees of Shengshanglong, etc., countless events are linked, and it seems that someone is in full swing.

And it's a long-term situation.

What kind of bureau is it, and what ulterior purpose he wants to achieve, Xia Xiang couldn't figure it out for a while. It's just that he faintly feels that this year's big exam will be extraneous and will not be carried out as smoothly as in previous years. As soon as I entered the capital, I felt the feeling of the wind surging and the strong wind blowing on my face.

And also...... Xia Xiang suddenly had a strange thought in his heart, Gao Jianyuan and Yan Hao were originally the people of the third prince, and the two went to Zhongshan Village to arrest Li Dingshan, saying that they were ordered to arrest people, but I am afraid that it was only the instruction of the third prince, not the emperor himself. Among the four princes, only the third prince and the emperor are compatriots of the same mother, and they are a branch of Taizong, and the eldest prince, the fourth prince and the fifth prince are all a branch of Taizu. After Gao Jianyuan followed Xia Cunxian, the son of King Jing, to investigate the case of Yang Di's favoritism and fraud, didn't he mean that the third prince and the eldest prince were all the way?

Jing Xing Qingyun, King Jing is the great prince.

"Same crime? Ridiculous, ridiculous. Zhang Hou laughed, although the fan was cut off by Xia Cunxian's sword, and the other party was the identity of the little prince, he was not afraid at all, and threw the fan in his hand, "I am clothy, I have no power and power, what qualifications do I have to cheat with Mr. Yang for personal gain, naïve, ignorant, stupid!" ”

Half of the fan flew out, impartially and landed on the horse's belly. After the fan was cut in two by Xia Cunxian's sword, the end of Zhang Hou's hand was extremely sharp and pierced on the horse's belly, the horse was in pain, neighed, and raised its front hooves high.

Xia Cunxian grabbed the reins with a sword in one hand and the other hand, and was caught off guard, his body slipped, and he fell off the horse. "Plop" the buttocks fell to the ground, and after landing, he couldn't retract his momentum, his body leaned back, and he fell on his back with his face facing the sky.

Gao Jianyuan and Yan Hao were shocked, the two of them dismounted, their bodies were like swallows, one left and one right came to Xia Cunxian's side, and helped Xia Cunxian up.

"Giggles, hehe, what a little prince, he can't even ride a horse well, it's obviously a stupid straw bag." Shi Er clapped her hands, and there was a sugar gourd in her mouth, playful and cute, she didn't forget to scrape her pretty face with her hand, "I'm not ashamed, if you say that you are a man of the Xia family, no one will laugh at you, but you said that you are the little prince, and you fell a butt and squatted, this person will be thrown home, if you let the adults of your family see it, maybe they will beat you again." ”

Man and old man are contemptuous terms for young men and old men. Although Shi'er was thirteen or fourteen years old, he was born petite, as if he was eleven or twelve years old. If it is a generous person, it is nothing to be a child's words, but Xia Cun was angry when he heard it first. Originally, he had been humiliated by a fall, and he was ridiculed by Shi Er in public, where could he still hold back the anger in his chest, and immediately pushed Gao Jianyuan and Yan Hao away, and jumped up from the ground.

Shi Er saw Xia Cun pounce on her with his teeth and claws first, so frightened that he lost his face, threw away the sugar gourd, and hid behind Zhang Hou with an exclamation. Zhang Hou stepped forward, blocked in front of Shi'er, and with a push of both hands, he stopped Xia Cun first.

Xia Cunxian was furious, who blocked and killed whom, he flew up and kicked Zhang Hou's abdomen, although his posture was not very elegant, but he also had a bit of might, and obviously he had also practiced basic skills.

Most of the literati in Daxia have some basic skills of martial arts, horseback riding, archery, fencing, and the children of ordinary rich families have to learn them one by one. One is to strengthen the body, and the other is to once the country is in trouble, you can pick up your sword and get on the horse, and crisscross the battlefield.

Zhang Hou also has basic skills, he kicked Xia Cun first, and he let one side of his body to the side, so that no matter what kind of little prince the other party was, his body was half squatting, and his right fist suddenly struck, and he went straight to Xia Cunxian's door.

Gao Jian Yuanzhi was so shocked that his soul was scattered, Xia Cun was the son of King Jing, and he was the one who wanted to inherit the throne, with a noble status, looking at Shangjing, there were few people who could compare with it, and even the three princes were polite and conceited three points.

Today's saint is very fond of Xia Xiaowangye, among dozens of little princes, the saint favors Xia Cunxian the most, and personally enshrines Xia Cunxian as the king, which is the first word to see the sages and think. According to the convention, the prince will only be crowned as the king of the word after inheriting the throne, if Xia Cunxian is the king of Jianning, it is reasonable to say that the prince or the little prince of the same generation as Xia Cunxian will be crowned as the king of the county at most, as the only one who has not succeeded to the throne and was named the little prince of the word king, among the many little princes, it is extremely glorious for a while.

There are even rumors that the saint treats Xia Cunxian as his own, and intends to let Xia Cunxian succeed him and become the crown prince. If the rumors come true, Xia Cunxian will be the prince of Great Xia! The prince was violently beaten in public, which was a crime of destroying the door, and even he and Yan Hao would be beheaded because of the disadvantage of escorting.

Gao Jianyuan didn't have time to think about it, flew forward, shook his body, blocked Xia Cun behind him, bent his knees, ejected his right leg, and kicked Zhang Hou's stomach.

Gao Jianyuan was originally a martial artist, strong in martial arts, fast and ruthless, Zhang Hou was naturally not his opponent, he was kicked by him, Zhang Hou only felt a burst of pain like turning over the river and the sea, his body flew out upside down for more than a zhang, fell to the ground, and even rolled a few times to stabilize his body.

Gao Jianyuan succeeded in one blow, but he didn't stop, bullied forward, and flew straight to Zhang Hou's head. If this kick hits, Zhang Hou will definitely pass out on the spot.

"Go and save someone." Shi'er grabbed Xia Xiang's arm, due to excessive force, her fingers fell into Xia Xiang's flesh again, and she was so anxious that tears flowed out, "Xia Langjun, why don't you save you when you die, it's important to go and save people." ”

Shi Er was not wrong, from beginning to end, Xia Xiang stood still and did not take a step, as if he was out of the matter, and the conflict between Zhang Hou and Xia Cunxian had nothing to do with him.

Xia Xiang was forced by Shi'er, but he was still indifferent, his eyes were calm and he looked at everything that happened in front of him with an indifferent expression, and he stood with his hands in his hands, and he didn't want to stand up for Zhang Hou.

Seeing that Gao Jianyuan was about to kick Zhang Hou's head, a person suddenly stabbed from the diagonal stab, and his shoulder rushed horizontally, hitting Gao Jianyuan's left side. Gao Jianyuan was caught off guard and was hit by him, suddenly lost his balance, couldn't kick anymore, his body shook three times to the right, and he took three or five steps sideways before he barely stabilized his body.

It was none other than Shen Bao who rescued Zhang Hou.

Shen Bao's sneak attack was successful, and he secretly said that he was lucky, and hurriedly helped Zhang Hou up, and the two stood side by side, glaring angrily at Gao Jianyuan, with a posture of hatred and hatred. After Gao Jianyuan stabilized his figure, he stood three feet away in front of Xia Xiang, he didn't take Xia Xiang in his eyes, turned his back to Xia Xiang, and said angrily to Zhang Hou and Shen Bao: "Where did you two come from, you two bastards who don't have long eyes, you dare to fight even when you see the king, aren't you impatient?" It doesn't matter if you don't want to live, don't cause the whole family to be beheaded! ”
