Chapter 193: Conflict (Part II)
Li Chengdao and Li Chengqian are the most important members of the third generation of the imperial family, in the eyes of Li Yuan and the ministers of the court, the third emperor of the Tang Dynasty is likely to be one of their brothers, it is no exaggeration to say that Li Chengdao and his brothers are also the most protected when they go out, and they can even compare with Li Yuan when he travels. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
It is precisely because of this that when the guards around Li Chengdao gave a signal, the two nearest centuriens immediately rushed in in full armor, and all those who might pose a threat to Li Chengdao's brothers were their targets, and they didn't care what kind of officials of the Criminal Department the other party was, in their eyes, in addition to the emperor, the safety of Li Chengdao and Li Chengqian was the most important.
"Don't kill!" Li Xiu saw that the guards who rushed out drew their weapons and rushed towards those stunned officials, and hurriedly shouted, these guards really dare to kill, and no one will say anything if they kill these officials, but these officials are only sent by people, and they will definitely not be guilty of death, not to mention that this is still his home, and it is really going to become a slaughterhouse, and they have to clean it up in the end, and a good house will become a murderous house.
Those guards also knew Li Xiu's identity, so his words still played some role, only to see the guards rush into the dozens of officials like tigers pounced, and in the blink of an eye, the officials were scattered, and then three or four people surrounded a government officer punching and kicking, but did not use weapons, otherwise these officials would have been bleeding a river.
"You...... You are so bold that you dare to beat up the people of our criminal department! Feng Shilang was also frightened when he saw these wolf-like guards, and he didn't even have time to figure out where these guards came from, but he should be grateful that he was wearing the official uniform of the fourth rank official today, otherwise those guards would definitely beat him together.
Regarding Feng Shilang's clamour, those guards didn't even pay attention to it, and if they didn't beat him, it would already be considered to save face for the court, otherwise even if the Heavenly King Lao Tzu came, as long as it threatened the safety of Li Chengdao's brothers, they would dare to fight it.
Seeing that those guards only hurt people and did not kill people, Li Xiu was also relieved, and then looked at Feng Shilang who was flustered, and walked over with a smile, pointing at Li Chengdao and Li Chengqian: "It seems that Feng Shilang still doesn't know them, the lower official will introduce you to him, this older one is named Li Chengdao, the eldest son of the prince, the eldest grandson of His Majesty, and the younger one is called Li Chengqian, who is the eldest son of King Qin, if Feng Shilang is not convinced, he can sue His Majesty tomorrow!" ”
"Hiss~" Feng Shilang was frightened when he heard this, and he took a few steps back, and almost fell, he didn't expect that Li Xiu's family still had such two characters who couldn't afford to offend, and he couldn't be blamed for it, if he wanted to blame it, it was too good for Li Yuan's father and son to block the news that Li Chengdao and they came to Li Xiu.
In fact, don't talk about Feng Shilang, even Chai Shao, who was hiding outside the courtyard to watch the excitement, didn't know about it, just now after he followed Feng Shilang here, it was really inconvenient to go in again, so he stayed by the river in the distance and looked at Li Xiu's house, intending to watch Li Xiu being escorted out by Feng Shilang, but he didn't expect that two guards suddenly rushed out from both sides of Li Xiu's house, and then there were bursts of screams in the courtyard.
Seeing this situation, Chai Shao was also a little confused, he couldn't understand where the two guards came from? However, Chai Shao is a military general after all, from the armor on those guards and the weapons in their hands, he can still see some clues, judging from his experience, these guards should be the guards in the palace.
But how did the palace guards appear here? In addition to His Majesty, only the crown prince and the king of Qin can mobilize these people, as for Princess Taiping, there are special female guards around her, and it is impossible to mobilize these guards in normal times, and Li Shimin is not in Chang'an, and Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng are even more unlikely to appear here, which also makes him puzzled.
But at this moment, Chai Shao suddenly heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves not far away, and then saw a group of cavalry rushing towards this side, and the peculiar thing is that the knights on the horse are all heroic women, the first one is Princess Pingyang, but compared to the female knights in full armor behind her, Princess Pingyang is just wearing a homely skirt, with an anxious look on her face, desperately beating the horse to Li Xiu's side.
Seeing Princess Pingyang coming, Chai Shao couldn't help but show an anxious look, just now he had already told Feng Shilang to let him arrest Li Xiu as soon as possible, what he was afraid of was that Princess Pingyang would know, but he didn't expect Princess Pingyang to finally come, and seeing the anxious look on her face, Chai Shao suddenly felt as if he had been bitten by a poisonous snake, full of something called jealousy, and even faintly he felt that Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang were definitely not a simple subordinate relationship!
Chai Shao only looked at Princess Pingyang, but forgot to hide at all, but Princess Pingyang on horseback also saw him at a glance, which made Princess Pingyang immediately frown, and she also had a bad premonition in her heart, and she didn't care about Chai Shao, and rushed to Li Xiu's house again.
When Princess Pingyang rushed into the gate first and saw Li Xiu standing in the courtyard safe and sound, she felt relieved, and hurriedly threw off the saddle and walked over quickly and asked, "Li Xiu, how are you, are you okay?" ”
"It's okay, this time thanks to the guards brought by Chengdao and Chengqian, otherwise it would have been really bad." Li Xiu showed a reassuring smile to Princess Pingyang, and by the way, he also praised Li Chengdao and Li Chengqian, which made the two little guys next to him also show proud expressions, which made Princess Pingyang smile a little.
Next, Princess Pingyang asked about the intentions of these people again, Li Xiu briefly told the story of the matter, the ninth sister was next to her, she can also testify, not to mention that she is still Princess Pingyang's old subordinate, which also made Princess Pingyang angry, and she suddenly thought that she had just seen Chai Shao outside, which made her guess something at once, and her face turned red with anger at the moment, and suddenly took a few steps and flew on the horse again, turned the horse's head and rushed out.
"Princess, where are you going?" Li Xiu couldn't help but be a little puzzled when he saw Princess Pingyang's actions and asked loudly, the matter here has not been resolved yet, why is Princess Pingyang leaving?
"Wait a minute, I'll fix something!" Princess Pingyang said with a cold face, and there was even a murderous aura between her eyebrows, which made Li Xiu stunned, it was the first time he had seen Princess Pingyang like this.
Then I saw Princess Pingyang's legs clamped between the horse's belly, and rushed out of the door again, ignoring that Feng Shilang at all, and several maids such as helmets were worried about Princess Pingyang, and they all rode behind at the moment.
I saw Princess Pingyang rush out of the door, and went straight to the place where Chai Shao was hiding just now, with a murderous expression on her face, when she was in front of Li Xiu before, she showed her gentle and virtuous side, but in fact, as the only female commander in the Tang Dynasty, Princess Pingyang naturally has a cold and iron-blooded side on the battlefield, and now Chai Shao's actions have completely angered her, making her show her demeanor on the battlefield.
Chai Shao saw Princess Pingyang coming, and immediately realized that something was wrong, which also made him not care about that Feng Shilang, turned over on the horse at the moment, and then turned the horse's head and turned away, and when Princess Pingyang chased him out, he had already run out for hundreds of steps, and he was disappearing at the end of the road.
Obviously knew that Chai Shao was doing the ghost behind his back, but now he could only watch him run away, which made Princess Pingyang even more angry, only to see that she suddenly took off the bow and arrow hanging on the horse, and then struggled to open the bow and shoot arrows, and in the blink of an eye, a long arrow shot towards Chai Shao's back like lightning, but unfortunately because the distance was too far, Chai Shao also had a lot of guards around him, but it was easily blocked by a guard, and then Chai Shao and his party galloped wildly, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Princess, do you want to chase after you? Maybe we can surround them before they enter the city! Helmet and a few other maids also guessed some reasons at this time, and they didn't have any good feelings for Chai Shao, so they suggested to Princess Pingyang at the moment.
After an arrow was fired, Princess Pingyang also regained some composure, even if she caught up with Chai Shao now, it was impossible to really kill him, otherwise the consequences would be very serious, and even Li Xiu would be implicated, so she had to hold back her anger at this time and said: "No need, wait a minute, I will naturally make him pay the price he deserves!" ”
After Princess Pingyang finished speaking, she turned around and returned to Li Xiu's house, at this time Li Xiu was also a little worried and came to the door, when she saw her come back, she finally put her mind at ease, and then asked her about the reason for her departure, Princess Pingyang did not hide it, and told her what she had just seen Chai Shao, Li Xiu was not very surprised by this, just now he guessed that there was someone behind Feng Shilang, and he had an enmity with him, and among the people who could command a four-grade master, I am afraid that only Chai Shao was there.
When Feng Shilang saw that Princess Pingyang was also coming, he had completely lost his square inch, and even wanted to sneak away, but was stopped by Li Chengdao's guards, and was also escorted to Princess Pingyang at this time, but for people like Feng Shilang, Princess Pingyang didn't bother to pay attention to them, and directly asked people to drive them out.
However, when they were driven away, the rotten dog skin was beaten by the female guards under Princess Pingyang again, some of them were the former comrades-in-arms of the ninth sister, and they were naturally very angry about what happened to the ninth sister, so at this time they were angry with the rotten dog skin, and the ninth sister did not stop it when she saw this situation, through today's incident, she has completely lost her heart to the rotten dog skin, and Li Xiu is even already thinking about letting the government sentence the ninth sister and leave, so that she can find a good home in the future.
"What's wrong with you, princess, there's no need to be too angry with people like Chai Shao, anyway, it won't be long before he has nothing to do with you anymore." Li Xiu found that Princess Pingyang's face was wrong, and he was a little concerned at the moment, thinking that she was still angry for Chai Shao.
"No, I can't wait, now I'll enter the palace and ask my father to make peace with Chai Shao!" Princess Pingyang suddenly gritted her teeth at this time and said something surprising! (To be continued.) )
