As Xue Erlang said, the family banquet could not be eaten, so they could only go home separately.

In the early spring, the days are still short and the nights are long, and when I come out of the Taiping Princess's Mansion in Zhenguo, the night has gradually opened. Xue Chongxun rode a horse, and the guards and servants went home together, some of the slaves held horse sticks, some carried poke lamps, and the group walked south along the street. Each poke lamp has a "Xue" character written on it, and there is a long handle connected to it, which is usually inserted on the base in front of the door, so it is convenient to bring lighting when traveling.

Meeting Yuwen Ji today made Xue Chongxun think of one thing: it is necessary to pull her fiancé Feng Yuanjun, Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, off the horse!

First, Xue Chongxun's action can eliminate the slightest suspicion in his mother's heart, and it is impossible for him to have a secret relationship with Gaolis; Second, because Xue Chongxun is the Taichang Qing who was feuded, he actually failed to control the Taichang Temple, and most of the power of the Taichang Temple is actually in the hands of Feng Yuanjun, the Taichang Shaoqing, and it is very beneficial to get him down and replace him with Princess Taiping or his own people.

Too often, the Zhangling temple group worship, the ritual system, the astronomical number of clothes. In the Tang Dynasty, the influence of Taichang Temple on the power field, one of them: the heirs of the powerful officials' families want to become officials, there is a path, that is, to act as a deputy during the national sacrifice, after participating in such sacrifices, you can come out to be a palace guard or a low-level civil official, and then the power of the Guò family climbs up. Who is eligible to participate at the time of the festival is naturally decided by Taijoji Temple.

Therefore, seizing the power of Taichang Temple is very effective in cultivating party members. How can such a department be handed over to the prince's people to get involved?

With the historical knowledge of Guò's previous life, Xue Chongxun became more aware of the danger of being the eldest son of Princess Taiping, but he had no other way but to try to help his mother, Princess Taiping...... Because the opponent is too big, the crown prince, and maybe the emperor, only the mother has the strength and identity to deal with it.

The opponent cannot be underestimated, not only the young prince, but also the emperor. Now Li Dan can live from the Wu Zetian period to the present, how turbulent and dangerous the political situation is during this period, he has been the emperor twice before and after, is he a person who has no brains?

"Lang Jun, this ancient temple alley is too dark and deserted, and it is not very peaceful at night, should we take a detour?" A square-faced man in the entourage motioned to the slave leading the horse to stop and reported to Xue Chongxun.

His name is Fang Yuzhong, their family has been a slave of the Xue family in Hedong for generations, and the slaves in the same door call him Lao Fang, he usually doesn't talk much, but his skills are not shallow, so he was looked at by Xue Chongxun as a special person in charge of security.

Xue Chongxun listened and said: "This is in Chang'an City, what's not peaceful?" In the evening, when the cold drops, I want to go home early without having to take a detour. ”

Since the master spoke, Fang Yuzhong didn't say much, and only said to the guards around him: "Pay attention." ”

So the team continued to move forward, and everyone didn't care, Lang Jun was right, those who dared to move the Xue family in Chang'an City must have a big background. Pang Er, the slave who led the horse, walked without looking back and said in a relaxed tone: "Lang Jun, my daughter-in-law said that Pei Niang is almost old, and she will be sent to Lang Jun's room tonight." ”

Pang Er, like Fang Yuzhong, is a hereditary slave of the Xue family, he is fat and fat, and his mantra is "my daughter-in-law says", and his wife "does not trust Xi Shi" is still rewarded by Xue Chongxun.

"Buto" is the name of the noodles, probably because the noodles are directly cut into strips with a knife and then cooked, without holding them in the palm of the hand, to distinguish them from the thin slices of "soup cakes" that were pressed directly with the palm of the hand in the past. Bu Tuo Xi Shi used to sell noodles, because her husband's family was implicated as a slave, so the Xue family bought it and gave it to Pang Er to reward him for his long-term loyalty.

Pei Niang is the daughter of Bu Tuo Xi Shi, brought over from her ex-husband's family, she is about thirteen or fourteen years old this year, and she was going to be a girl in Xue Chongxun before, but now she is about the same age, so Pang Er mentioned it.

But since Xue Chongxun got the memories of his previous life, many of his thoughts have changed unconsciously, and at this time, he feels that a little girl who is still thirteen or fourteen years old or in junior high school is not suitable for serving men. So he said: "Sue sù don't trust Xi Shi, you don't need to send Pei Niang over, and the thing I said before will be over." ”

In the silent night sky, there was a burst of braised pork fragrance from nowhere, and Pang Er, who was leading the horse in front, suddenly took a few sips, his saliva was almost flowing down, and he said in an almost affectionate tone: "It's braised pig's head meat." ”

Several people around couldn't help laughing, and a thin man carrying a poke lamp smiled: "Fatty, how about you take a knife and cut a piece of meat on your own head to satisfy your hunger?" ”

Pang Er was stunned and said, "I'm fine, why do you want to cut your own flesh and eat it?" ”

The thin man said, "Don't you really want to eat pig's head?" Pang Er didn't understand that he was being teased, and still replied seriously: "I want to eat pig's head meat, but I don't want to eat the meat on my own head!" ”

The thin man laughed and said, "I thought it was the same thing." ”

Xue Chongxun was also amused, and couldn't help but say, "I see that the two of you should go to the military drama." ”

With a playful laugh with the slaves, Xue Chongxun's mood seemed to improve, and the heaviness in his heart seemed to be lighter. Unexpectedly, at this moment, Fang Yuzhong suddenly shouted in a deep voice: "The front is bright!" The surrounding guards immediately pressed their weapons and responded: "Beware of Shuitaitai!" ”

This is a code, that is, to remind everyone that there is a situation.

Xue Chongxun also grabbed the reins, looked ahead, and saw a person in tight black clothes rushing towards this side.

"Stop!" I only heard Fang Yuzhong's violent snort, and several guards had already raised their crossbows and aimed them at the black-clothed man in front.

Suddenly, the front and back of the alley lit up with firelight, and the footsteps were hurried. The situation became a little unpleasant, and the tone in which Fang Yuzhong and the guards spoke became nervous, "Brothers, protect Langjun." ”

Xue Chongxun was also nervous, but he remained calm in front of his subordinates, and just said lightly: "Stabilize first, these people are not necessarily targeting us." ”

Sure enough, after the man in black ran closer, he did not make an aggressive move, but fell to his knees with a thud: "Engong saved my life, I will be a cow and a horse for the rest of my life, and I will be sent by Engong!" ”

She was covered and couldn't see her face clearly, but she spoke in a woman's voice, hurried and panicked. Xue Chongxun glanced back and forth at the approaching firelight, and said in his heart that those people must have come to arrest this woman. He asked in a deep voice, "You broke the law?" ”

The woman said: "No, it's not the people from the government who are chasing me." ”

"Good." Xue Chongxun nodded, pondered for a moment, and then said: "You come here, no one can hurt you, but I will find out your details." ”

"Thank you for your great kindness!" The woman was overjoyed, got up from the ground, and walked towards Xue Chongxun. At this time, Fang Yuzhong was very nervous, his eyes stared at her without blinking, but Xue Chongxun looked calm and calm, still sitting on the horse in a big way. Hiding clumsiness, this is his usual style, it seems to be careless, in fact he is watching the woman's shoulder, in case she makes any unexpected moves. Xue Chongxun is also a person who often practices martial arts, and it is not too possible for him to be dealt with by himself when there are many guards.

The people in front of and behind the alley quickly approached, all masked people. They stopped not far away, and saw that Xue Chongxun had many guards under him, and he must be a person with status, and they did not act rashly.

At this time, an old man said in a deep voice: "This Langjun, if it is not about you, please make it convenient, the grievances between her and the old man let us settle ourselves." ”

Xue Chongxun smiled, patted the goldfish bag on his waist and said, "Do you recognize this?" In my Datang territory, you dare to take people in front of officials? While the official is in a good mood, get out of here! ”

The people on the other side didn't dare to act rashly, but they didn't leave, the old man paused and said: "This woman is a slave of the old man's family, and she ran out secretly, and she asked Ming Gong to do something...... "After that, he took out two ingots of gold and came out, "A little meaning, not a respect." ”

Unexpectedly, Xue Chongxun suddenly raised his horsewhip, pointed angrily ahead, and said, "Boldly Diao Min, take it for me!" Those who dare to injure the lives of officials will be strictly investigated and will not be loaned, and the crime will be copied and beheaded! ”

Fang Yuzhong frowned, the guards in his entourage were not enough, and the main thing was to protect Lang Jun's safety, but the master's order could not be violated, he quickly arranged the manpower and rushed out with people armed. The old man hurriedly said "withdraw", and then the two groups of people turned around and ran. Xue Chongxun's guards saw that people were running away, and they didn't dare to chase away, so they made a show and withdrew back to report: "Back to Langjun, the thief ran too fast and didn't catch up." ”

The woman saw that the person who was chasing her into a corner, and was scared away by this Lang Jun in a few words, her eyes were full of admiration, and she hurriedly said: "Thank you for your life-saving grace, if there is a place where I can be useful in the future, I only need to say a word from Engong, and I will not give up." ”

At this time, Xue Chongxun's heart relaxed a lot, and he noticed that her voice was a little hoarse, and it sounded weird. He let out a white breath and said, "It's so cold, let's talk about it when we go back." ”

The place where Xue Chongxun lived was in Anyi Fang, next to the East Market, and when he passed the archway at the entrance of Anyi, the sky was completely dark, there was no moon or stars, and it was very cold. He felt that the bones in his legs were frozen, and he suddenly remembered the "Misty Zhai" that he had instructed the craftsmen to build according to the memories of his previous life......

"After entering Anyi Fang, don't go back to the house first, go to Mi Mi Zhai." Xue Chongxun commanded. Wealth naturally has the benefits of wealth, and there can be many pleasures that ordinary people can't get.

"Yes, Lang Jun." The person below answered.
