In the main hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion of Great Xia, a group of ladies and ladies sat on the chairs on the side, and the two main seats at the end of the hall sat the Prime Minister of Great Xia and Mrs. Xiangguo respectively, and at this time, everyone's eyes were focused on Li Tian, who was standing quietly in the middle of the hall.

Everyone in the hall is the family of the prime minister, and his noble status is far more comparable, and the prime minister sitting on the Taishi's chair with a cold face is even more suffocating, but Li Tian doesn't seem to be moved at all.

"Is it your subordinate who injured me, do you know that a dog in this house is more noble than a small person like you, and he is really bold!" Prime Minister Cheng Zhiran said in a flat tone, but the power in it will make everyone involuntarily fearful.

Those who are familiar with his temperament know that when the prime minister sighs, he either flatters the emperor and his fellow courtiers and friends, or his emotions are almost extremely angry, and no one dares to provoke him.

Li Tian replied calmly, "I am the bodyguard invited by Miss Cheng, and that family member wants to prevent me from exercising my duties, and I must certainly teach him a lesson in order to protect Miss's safety." ”

The prime minister snorted coldly and didn't look at Li Tian, slowly picked up the teacup next to him and took a sip of fragrant tea, and said lightly when he put down the teacup, "Come on, break this guy's legs and throw him out of the house." ”

"It's Xiangye. Immediately, two strong men of the guards rushed towards Li Tian, and there were already boards outside the hall that were ready to beat people.

Li Tian's eyes flashed, he couldn't imagine that ancient times were so contemptuous of human life, but he was by no means a pig and dog to be slaughtered.

If this so-called prime minister really wants to move himself, he will definitely kill the other party first.

Miss Cheng, who had been keeping her head down in a panic, suddenly shouted weakly, "Father, please don't embarrass Li Gongzi, he is the escort I finally invited." ”

Cheng Zhiran glanced at Miss Cheng indifferently, lowered his head and drank the fragrant tea in his hand again, and when he looked up, he saw that the two guards who went to arrest Li Tian had passed out and fell to the ground, and his expression changed in surprise.

He put the teacup on the table and snorted coldly at Miss Cheng, "Yao'er, look at who you have invited, who dares to make trouble in the Prime Minister's Mansion!"

Miss Cheng was so shocked that she held her breath and lowered her head, but still said, "It is precisely because my daughter is afraid that she will be killed by someone like her mother, so she will ask Li Gongzi to be her guard, begging her father not to embarrass her daughter." ”

"What a good daughter I raised!"

"Master, please calm your anger, Yao'er has been sent to that mountain villa to recuperate since she was a child, and she will naturally think about the protection of the master when she lives alone in the mountains, and she doesn't care about hurting her family. Cheng Zhiran was about to get angry, but the eldest lady Liu Li next to him stopped her.

He pondered for a moment and nodded slowly, "Even if Madame intercedes, I won't bother with this vulgar person." ”

Li Tian smiled faintly, and nodded slightly to the Liu family who spoke for him, it is always good to have less trouble, not to mention that he doesn't know much about this world.

Mrs. Xiangguo's name is Liu Li, who is about forty years old but still dignified and delicate, looking at Miss Cheng Si with a smile at the moment, people who don't know the way of the Tao still think that she is a kind lady.

Only Miss Cheng knew the viciousness of this eldest lady of the mother, and was frightened by her smile as if she was being targeted by a poisonous snake, and lowered her head more and more helplessly.

The eldest lady Liu Li smiled gently, "Yao'er doesn't have to be nervous, my mother has missed you so much over the years, and I don't need to go to the villa to live when I come home this time, we will have a good gathering at home." ”

Li Tian already knew from the conversation that Miss Cheng's full name was Cheng Xiaoyao, and seeing her trembling like a lamb targeted by a vicious wolf, he sighed in his heart, this bodyguard is not easy to be.

He looked back at the guards who did not dare to enter the hall, showed a faint sneer, and then silently observed the changes in the prime minister's family affairs.

Miss Cheng peeked at the eldest lady before she said inaudibly, "I don't know what happened to my mother calling Yao'er to Kyoto?"

The eldest lady Liu Li smiled and said, "Your father and I really don't want to be separated from our families, so I want you to come to the house to live for a long time. ”

"Look, in a place where the mountains and rivers are beautiful, it is to raise people, and the little ones of the year will not grow into a big beauty now. ”

Cheng Xiaoyao looked up at the eldest lady with a struggling face, and then looked at the prime minister's father, who had never looked at him at all, and paused for a while before squeezing out a smile and said, "Mother did the right thing, Yao'er likes the life of the villa very much." ”

The eldest lady Liu Li said with a smile, "That's right, it's good to know the hard work of me and your father, now there is a good thing to fall on you, I'm afraid that the best life in this mansion in the future will be Yao'er you." ”

Cheng Mai's body trembled, and he asked with a forced smile, "I don't know what the good thing my mother said?"

Liu Li said with a smile, "I'll talk about this later, this guard of yours looks good, so stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion to do things." ”

Cheng Xiaoyao saw that Li Tian could stay, and finally had a real smile on her face, and said, "Xie Niang's love ......." ”

Next is a family reunion family banquet, Li Tian was officially appointed by the eldest lady as Cheng Xiaoyao's personal guard, and was assigned to a small table to eat alone, so that he could enjoy the sumptuous delicacies of the big families in ancient China.

The eldest lady Liu Li looked very caring in her speech, if it weren't for everyone's smiles being too fake, there would be nothing bad about it from the outside.

Cheng Xiaoyao has always been as nervous as a chicken, and the prime minister has never looked at her from beginning to end, always looking at the wine glass in front of him and thinking about things, with a gloomy look.

Li Tian watched coldly at the end of this false play, Cheng Xiaoyao and Xiang'er were taken to live in the inner courtyard, and everyone except the prime minister was smiling, as if they sincerely welcomed the concubine back to the house for reunion.

Although the ladies at the banquet were all charming, they didn't seem to see the daughter born to the mother-in-law, Cheng Xiaoyao's face was slightly relaxed, and it seemed that she was very afraid of this eldest sister.

When the lantern was held, the family banquet was over, and Cheng Xiaoyao was led by the eldest lady to the inner courtyard, and she and He Xiang'er looked back at Li Tian pitifully from time to time.

Li Tian was not allowed to go with him because he was a man, but he was unexpectedly assigned to live in a side room. But the guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion lived together in the room of the Chase Shop, and it was obvious that they were still treated as outsiders.

He blew out the candles early and lay on the bed, preparing to recharge his energy to protect Cheng Xiaoyao and Xiang'er at night, and had already noted the location of the inner courtyard just now, believing that he would be able to find them soon.

Although I don't know what conspiracy Cheng Xiaoyao said about the vicious mother-in-law, Li Tian wants to see it with his own eyes so that he doesn't have to be afraid that Cheng Xiaoyao will be in danger, and because there is no large number of troops to take care of him when he arrives at the Prime Minister's Mansion, it is possible to escape.

He remembered seeing the prime minister's indifference to Cheng Xiaoyao, as well as the smiling but scheming eldest lady, and felt that it would definitely not be good for those two girls to stay in the prime minister's mansion.

In the middle of the night, the Prime Minister's Mansion was dead silent, and Li Tian, who was dressed in a black special combat uniform, carefully sneaked into the inner courtyard, avoiding the guards and maids who were keeping vigil, and successfully came to a garden in the inner courtyard to lurk.

There are several independent courtyards in the inner courtyard, even if the owner is sleeping, there is still a maid ring keeping vigil, and there are several lanterns on the gate, but he doesn't know that Cheng Xiaoyao and Xiang'er live in that courtyard.

The bored maid and the servant woman chatted quietly, most of which were about the fourth young lady who had just returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but they revealed a lot of information.

"Isn't the eldest lady the most hated by Xiangye's concubines, why is she so good to the second and third young ladies now, and she has called the fourth young lady back. ”

"Don't you know that the three princes are eighteen years old today, I heard that the emperor wants to choose a young lady from the Prime Minister's Mansion to be the third princess, everyone understands that the queen dislikes the three princes born to the old concubine the most, and the emperor doesn't value him very much. ”

"What does this have to do with the eldest lady summoning the fourth lady back, isn't it right for the eldest lady to be the princess?"

"You are stupid, the eldest lady wants to marry Miss Chang to someone who really wants to be the emperor, so that the mother family will go to the next level. ”

"It turns out that the eldest lady wants to keep Miss Yan as the queen. ”

"Shhh ”

......

Li Tianxia knew that Cheng Xiaoyao was not in danger, and quietly sneaked back to his residence, and acting indiscriminately would only make it more troublesome, so he decided to wait a little longer to see the situation.

Maybe Yao Xiaoyao will have a better ending when she becomes the princess safely, and she doesn't have to wander outside.

The next day, Xiang'er came to Li Tian, and the first thing she said was, "Miss wants to stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion, I hope you can help." ”

Li Tian smiled and said, "The world outside is very dangerous, it's good to be a princess in peace, I don't know what I can help Miss Cheng?"

Xiang'er Qi said, "You already know the Dao, or the eldest lady talked about it last night, and the young lady and I only learned about the selection of concubines by the three princes of the Dao." ”

She saw Li Tian's faint smile, leaned in and whispered, "Miss's biological mother died unexplained, and she was poisoned again, why do you think she wants to be a princess, and with this identity, she can seek justice for her mother openly." ”

"What can I help with in this matter?"

Xiang'er took out a small purse from her waist and handed it to Li Tian, and continued to whisper, "Miss asked Li Gongzi to go to the outside market to inquire about the news of the Third Prince, especially to find out his preferences and behavior, etc., these silver coins are for Miss to let you take outside for expenses." ”

She paused and added in a crying voice, "Please be sure to help Miss become a princess, we don't know anyone in this mansion at all, if the eldest lady wants to make it bad, no one can find it, Miss and I can't believe it except for Li Gongzi." ”

When it came to this, what else could Li Tian say, took the silver and walked towards the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, found the location of the gate without being led by anyone, and then strode out of the gate under the strange eyes of those guards.

He enjoyed the scenery of the Kyoto market with great interest, walked around like a bun for a while, and then became interested in the small alleys with few people, and found a very deep alley and walked in.

The depths of the alley are sealed by a wall, and the high walls on both sides completely isolate the bustle of Kyoto, giving you the feeling of being in a secluded space even during the day.

Li Tian walked to the blocked high wall and stopped, looked up at the top of the high wall where there was only a little sunlight, and said loudly, "Come out, it's very tiring to follow!"

"Hmph, it's really bold to find out that we are following and dare to break into the alley!" The two guards who were knocked unconscious yesterday led seven or eight big men to come up, and they all looked at Li Tian with a calm face.

Li Tian turned around and drew his long sword, and said coldly to these people who came to kill him, "Just a little conflict will kill people, you are really a group of vicious villains!"

One of the guards pointed a machete at Li and shouted, "Don't talk nonsense with the dead, hurry up and finish the order of the eldest lady and go back to receive the reward!"

Li Tian narrowed his eyes coldly, and suddenly pulled out his long sword and pounced on this escort enemy.
