The ancient book says, "The dragon has reverse scales, and it will be angry if it touches it."

The so-called reverse scales refer to a palm-sized scale under the neck of the ancient dragon, which is crescent-shaped, and is long on the surface of the body.

And this statement also applies to people, looking at tens of thousands of people in the world, everyone has their own areas that they care about extremely and cannot be touched by others, this field can be treasures, relatives and friends, can be anyone or anything, and for Xie An, the people close to him are the scales in his heart.

Because he was an orphan since he was a child and suffered the pain of loneliness, Xie An cherished the care from others, and often when others were kind to him, he would treat that person as a close party and repay him tenfold.

In the final analysis, he is probably reluctant to let that care disappear, and hopes to continue forever.

Because of this, the former crown prince [King of Zhou Ai] Li Wei sent an assassin to assassinate Xie An, but the assassin accidentally hit the deputy car and killed the old housekeeper Fu Bo, the former King of Anle and now the son of Li Shou's mansion, so that Li Shou and Xie An were furious, and they didn't know if they didn't know whether they didn't know the height of the sky, and they swore an oath to let Li Wei pay for his life.

Maybe Ji Jing is rumored to have a bad temper, but in fact, Xie An is usually not easy to get angry, he is a very rational person, of course, anger here refers to anger, not because of someone's words, angry, unhappy, so that he is angry, eager to kill someone.

And when it comes to Xie An, who is so angry that he is full of anger, there have only been two times so far, the first time is when he learned that Su Wan, whom he loves, made his own decision and planned to marry Lu Fan, the son of Lu Song, the prince of Nanguo; The second time, it was the former crown prince [King of Zhou Ai] Li Wei who sent assassins to mistakenly kill Fu Bo, the old butler in Li Shou's mansion.

That's it just twice......

And now, Xie An finally experienced that feeling again, the kind of intense hatred that seemed to fill his chest with a hot flame, almost bursting his chest, and even this time it was especially intense.

Li Bo, the prince of Qiuyang......

Li Shao, the prince of Hengyang......

Li Jiong, the son of the king of Liyang......

Li Chi, the prince of Ruyang......

I have to say that these four cousins, who can be called close relatives of Li Shou in the third generation, are kicked to the iron plate this time, and they have done an irreparable stupid thing.

Originally, with the noble status of these four royal princes, teasing and playing with the female dependents of a few ordinary families in Jijing, and even the families of high-ranking officials and nobles, in fact, this is not a big deal.

However, this time they moved a woman who absolutely couldn't move, Su Wan, the daughter-in-law of the Lu family in Nangong Mansion.

As Li Jiong, the son of the king of Liyang, said, the current Lu family, the prestige is no longer what it used to be, the head of the family, Lu Song, led the army to be defeated, was picked off by the strength of his hands and hands, and lost a good martial arts, and his son Lu Fan died on the battlefield at a young age, if nothing else, the Lu family will definitely fall in the next few years, therefore, Li Jiong, the son of the king of Liyang, doesn't care that the Lu Guild is looking for trouble for them because of this matter, after all, in their opinion, they are dealing with [Yisuke] cousin of the same royal family, [Eight Sages King] Li Xian, is not only the emperor Li Shou of the current dynasty, but also the fourth son of the emperor who is about to return to Jijing, [Yan Wang] Li Mao.

The fourth son of the emperor, [Yan Wang] Li Mao, that is not an easy figure to deal with, even in the Li clan of the Great Zhou Imperial Family, it is also prestigious, and was praised by the former son of heaven Li Ji as [the first warrior of the Great Zhou Imperial Family], with martial arts that surpass his father Li Ji, it seems that such a prestigious big man, if it were not for the [Eight Sages King] Li Xian's hard work, these cousins are really reluctant to get involved.

And now, since they have agreed to their cousin Li Xian to join forces to deal with the fourth son of the emperor and [King Yan] Li Mao, they will play with a few women from rich and noble families in Jijing, what kind of thing is this? Thinking about it, Li Xian will also clean up the aftermath for them.

The problem is that a few days after they first arrived in Jijing, they didn't know much about the situation in Beijing, and the mistake was that they chose the wrong object, and they didn't know that there were several women in Jijing that they couldn't move, including Su Wan, the daughter-in-law of the Lu family in Nangongfu.

But then again, it's no wonder that they can, how did they think that after moving the daughter-in-law of the Lu family, the first person to jump out for her would be Xie An, the first powerful person in the court and the secretary of the criminal department?

Don't say that they don't know, even if they have lived in Jijing for a long time, they don't know about the matter between Xie An and Su Wan, and even Yin Gong, Changsun Jing, Ruan Shaozhou and others don't know about it, if anyone knows the inside story, there are only Li Shou, Liang Qiuwu, Changsun Xiangyu, Jin Ling'er, Yiyi, and other people, even if it is Wang Dan, Xun Zheng and other people close to Li Shou and Xie An, they don't know what is going on.

Oh, by the way, Gou Gong, who has been following Xie An for the past few days, knows about this, and Mo Fei, who was ordered by the eldest grandson Xiangyu to secretly monitor the progress of the relationship between Xie An and Su Wan, has also noticed a little, otherwise, Mo Fei, who is now the captain of the Jinyi Wei Division of the Fusi of Beizhen, will not kill the two guards who helped Su Wan on the spot without saying a word, and help Su Wan escape from the clutches of Li Jiong, the prince of Liyang, after all, he is also an official of the imperial court now, if it is not necessary, he basically no longer uses killing to solve the problem, just because Xie An said a word, [ When necessary, at all costs].

From this point of view, Mo Fei did not kill Li Jiong, the son of the king of Liyang, on the spot, it can be regarded as the latter's great luck, after all, Mo Fei is not a soft-hearted person, he is a well-known murderer among the people in Dongling, and killing people is as casual as eating tea and eating rice for him.

But despite this, Li Jiong, the prince of Liyang, was still scared stupid, after all, the sickle in Mo Fei's hand, which was still dripping with blood, was still under his throat, and even the sharp blade was almost able to cut his throat.

After a period of uneasy silence, Li Bo, the eldest of the four princes, Li Bo, the prince of Qiuyang, stood up first, pointed at Xie An and said in a deep voice, "Who is under your feet?!" ”

At this time, Xie An was still kind enough to comfort Su Wan, who was crying lightly in his arms, and when he heard this, he turned his head and glanced at Li Bo coldly, the strong killing intent in his eyes made the latter feel shocked and unconsciously took a step back.

At this moment, one of the guards seemed to notice something, pointed at Xie An and said, "You...... You are the one who was in charge of Chaoyang Street a few days ago......"

As soon as the words fell, only to hear a sneer, Gou Gong floated to the guard from nowhere, and pinched the guard's finger pointing at Xie An with his right hand, and pulled it hard, but when he heard a click, the guard's finger suddenly showed a strange twist, and the person screamed in pain.

"Remember? - Hey, it's a coincidence, you Uncle Gou also remembers! ”

As he spoke, Gou Gong sneered, and handed over the iron fan in his hand, and the blade at the front of the iron fan slashed through the guard's throat, killing him on the spot.

......From beginning to end, Xie An's eyes did not change, but he gently hugged Su Wan in his arms, unmoved.

After all, right now, he was angry at what happened to Su Wan, and vaguely had the idea of killing all the four royal princes and their minions here.

Seeing that Gou Gong had killed his guards, Li Chi, the prince of Ruyang, was furious, and pointed at Gou Gong and said angrily, "Who are you?" He actually killed His Royal Highness's guards for no reason! ”

"For no reason?" Shaking off the blood on the blade of the iron fan, Gou Gong licked his lips and said with a grin, "Hey! - If it weren't for the open-mindedness of my family that day, this guy would have died a long time ago! As he spoke, he kicked the guard's body aside and looked coldly at Li Chi, the prince of Ruyang.

"Your lord?" Li Chi, the prince of Ruyang, was stunned when he heard this, turned his head and glanced at Xie An, as if he understood something, and said with a sneer, "I see...... It turned out that he was still an official of the imperial court! - Hey, do you know who we dare to be so presumptuous? ”

I don't know if I learned that Xie An was an official of the court, except for Li Bo, the prince of the king of Qiuyang, the other three gentlemen gradually receded with a look of fear on their faces, and their eyes showed a little disapproval.

In their opinion, since the guy in front of them was an official of the imperial court, as long as they raised their respective names, they could tell him to retreat, however, Xie An's cold words after that completely shattered their dreams.

"The son of Li Yi, King of Qiuyang, Li Bo; The son of Li Qi, King of Hengyang, Li Shao; The son of Li Chen, King of Liyang, Li Jiong; There is also the son of Li Pei, the king of Ruyang, Li Chi...... Right? Gently patting Su Wanshang's back, which was trembling from fright, Xie An said expressionlessly.

"......" Hearing Xie An's words, the four royal princes were dumbfounded.

They never expected that the other party would already know their identity, in other words, the other party would do such a presumptuous thing when they knew the specifics.

Bad......

Looking at Xie An, who looked calm, Li Bo, the prince of Qiuyang, vaguely felt that something was wrong.

He didn't feel that the person on the other side was bluffing, in other words, the other party was emboldened......

Wait a minute!

As if thinking of something, Li Bo, the prince of Qiuyang, looked at Xie An with wide eyes.

Looks like an eighteen or nineteen-year-old face......

If he has not been crowned, it means that he has not yet reached the age of a weak crown......

A man who has not yet been weakened, with so many subordinates, took the initiative to trouble his group, but he didn't care about the identity of himself and others......

This man is ......

At that moment, Li Bo, the prince of Qiuyang, only felt a chill on his back.

And just when he guessed Xie An's identity, suddenly there was a noise in the distance, and vaguely, it seemed that a large group of people came here with torches, and when they approached, it was not difficult to find that they were all guards of the Patrol Division of Weiwei Temple.

There is salvation!

Except for Li Bo, the prince of the king of Qiuyang, the other three princes of the royal family showed surprise on their faces, changed their cowering appearance, and shouted for help, "Someone, someone!" - But the guards of the Patrol Division of the Guardian Temple? These people are gathering a crowd to rebel against him, and he will take them down for His Highness! ”

However, to the shock of the three royal princes, those guards of the Patrol Division of the Weiwei Temple ignored them at all, and stood outside the hundreds of black-clothed assassins with torches, building a human wall, without the slightest intention of making a move.

Seeing this, Li Chi, the prince of Ruyang, was furious in his heart, and scolded angrily, "Don't you have long ears? Take down these thieves for Your Highness! - My father is the king of Ruyang! ”

It's a pity that no matter how much he screamed, the guards of the Patrol Division of the Weiwei Temple also ignored him at all, and at the same time, a middle-aged man who looked like a general walked up to Xie An, knocked on one knee, clenched his fists and said, "My lord, the last general will be a pet, come one step late, I hope your lord will forgive me!" ”

Xie An nodded silently, then pointed at Su Wan, who was still crying in his arms, and then stretched his finger to his mouth and made a small finger.

Xiang Pet understood, hugged his fists and saluted, then stood up, looked coldly at the four royal princes and dozens of their guards, snorted coldly, and then walked towards the captive women, and said in a low voice, "Where are you waiting?" - Get out of here! ”

The dozen or so women from good families who had been taken captive like Su Wan's master and servant were overjoyed when they heard this, and they couldn't help but thank them and left in a hurry.

"You ......" Seeing that Xiang Pet didn't deal with the black-clothed assassins around him, but instead let go of the beauties that he and others had so hard captured, Li Chi, the prince of Ruyang, was even more angry in his heart, walked up to Xiang Pet in a few steps, pointed at his nose and scolded angrily, "You damn it, haven't you heard the words of His Highness?!" ”

As soon as the words fell, he saw Xiang Pet raise his right hand, and hit Li Chi, the prince of Ruyang, on the right side of the face, forcing the latter back two feet away, turning over several times on the ground, covered in mud.

"You...... Do you dare to hit me? Stroking the red and swollen right cheek, Li Chi, the prince of Ruyang, spit out a mouthful of blood and looked at Xiang Pet in disbelief.

Xiang Pet sneered, spit on the ground with disdain, and then ignored Li Chi, raised his arms and shouted, "Listen to the brother of the Patrol Division, the captive victim has been rescued, there is no need for me to wait here, collect the troops and return to Zuo'anmen!" ”

"No!" Under the stunned gaze of the four royal princes, Xiang Zhong, the general of the patrol division of Weiwei Temple, returned the same way with the original team.

"Hey, what the hell are these guys doing here?" Gou Gong shook his head with a smile, but in his heart, he also understood Xiang Chong's kindness, after all, Xiang Pet also knew what might happen here next, in order to reduce the number of witnesses, so he left with his subordinates, even if Xie An really killed the four sons afterwards, it was difficult for his soldiers to know about it, so that he accidentally spread the matter and brought trouble to Xie An.

After all, there are still hundreds of secret agents from the southern and northern towns here, and they don't need the people of their Weiwei Temple to come forward.

"I'm the only one left to wait......" With a relaxed and comfortable face, Gou Gong smiled teasingly at the four royal princes, and then waved his right hand and said lightly, "Hey, what are you waiting for, brothers?" - Take them all! ”

"Shh Half of the Assassins belonging to the Jinling clan pursed their lips when they heard this, and seemed to be a little reluctant to be instructed by Gou Gong, but they also knew that this was not the time to care about [which side was the most important assassin mansion under the head of the family, Xie An].

For a time, hundreds of assassins who were skilled in assassination swarmed up, like a tide, and immediately submerged the four royal princes, although the guard had the heart to protect the lord, but he was powerless to resist, or killed, or captured, the entire battle situation, almost in an instant, has been divided into victory and defeat.

"Get on your knees!" It didn't take long for the four invincible royal princes to come to Xie An, not only with the blade, but also kneeling in front of Xie An with a humiliated face, and behind him, each had an assassin holding a dagger against the throat of the four of them, just Xie An said a word, and these four royal princes were going to die here.

From beginning to end, Xie An didn't move a step, his hands and sleeves gently covered Su Wan's ears, and he glanced at the four royal princes kneeling in front of him expressionlessly, and suddenly slowly closed his eyes.

This seemed to be a signal, Gou Gong licked his lips when he saw this, and there was a hint of gloom in his relaxed tone.

"Kill!"

Seeing that this group of people was really going to kill them, the other three royal family disciples turned pale with fright, but Li Boshang, the prince of the king of Qiuyang, kept a little sane and shouted loudly, "Wait! ――But is the criminal department Shangshu Xie An, Lord Xie? I am Li Bo, the prince of Qiuyang, and I have something to say to my lords! ”

Hearing this, Xie An slowly opened his eyes, looked at Li Bo, the prince of the King of Qiuyang, and gritted his teeth and said, "There is no need for threats, don't think that with Li Xian to support you, this mansion will not dare to touch you...... You really have the courage to dare to touch my Xie An's woman! ”

Sure enough, it's Xie An!

Seeing this, Li Bo, the prince of the king of Qiuyang, chuckled in his heart, and couldn't help but think of what Li Xian, the eighth son of the emperor and the [Eight Sages King] had told him in person.

[…… Cousin Bo was able to help Xiao Wang this time, and Xiao Wang was grateful...... Ah, yes, in recent times, Xiao Wang's situation is not comfortable...... Oh, no, no, no, it's okay at the moment, the other group of people in the DPRK and China, although they have some political disagreements with the foolish brother, are not considered enemies...... Well, Xie An is not jealous of virtuous people, so Xiao Wang doesn't have to worry about being harmed by him...... Hehe? How did this person kill Xiao Wang? Hahaha, if he wants to kill Xiao Wang, even if the Wei Di assassin follows Xiao Wang all the time, it will be difficult to stop a woman in his house...... That's it, Xiao Wang doesn't plan to mention the past, now, Xiao Wang and Li Shou, Xie An and the party have temporarily reached a tacit understanding, and will force the four emperor brothers who are about to return to Jijing as a top priority, therefore, in Xiao Wang's view, Li Shou Xie An and his party will never take the initiative to provoke trouble, think about it, Xiao Wang is more worried about the few cousins and cousins who came with his father this time, and Lao Bo's cousin persuaded Xiao Wang one or two, Jijing is not as good as the country of the cousins, the family, the powerful, the rich, the relationship is intertwined, and the whole body is affected, and nothing else is left for the time being, it seems that in the current situation, the people of Li Shou and Xie An and their party must not move! - Remember! ]

Oh no, this time it's really poked out of the basket......

Looking at the anger and murderous intent that were clearly visible in Xie An's eyes, Li Bo, the prince of Qiuyang, smiled bitterly in his heart, but ......

Isn't this daughter the daughter-in-law of the Lu family? How could it be his Xie An's woman?

Although he didn't understand it, Li Bo still ignored the question with great interest, because he knew that if he didn't say something to impress the first powerful man in front of him, it would be no surprise that all four of them would have to die here tonight.

"Master Xie, this matter is a misunderstanding......

Here Li Bo was sweating profusely and wanted to resolve this disaster with words, but over there Xie An listened with a sneer, but he didn't notice that Su Wan in his arms had stopped crying, his face was full of shame, he grabbed the clothes on Xie An's chest and didn't dare to look up, his eyes changed with joy, relief, gloom, remorse, shame and overwhelm.

Come to think of it, she heard that too......

[My Xie An's woman]......
