Chapter 5 The Great Zhou Prince

The people in the inn saw that there was no excitement to see, so they had to disperse and rest in their rooms.

In the noble son's room, the two guards were naked, leaning on the chairs weakly, and a palm-sized bruise appeared on the heart. The noble prince stood aside, angrily reprimanding his two subordinates.

"Childe, that kid's brute strength is incredible, if it weren't for the close-fitting soft armor, the two of us would definitely not be able to come back. One of the guards pleaded dejectedly.

"I also asked Xu Xianshi to help these two wastes heal their injuries, and they still need the two of them to contribute on the way. The noble prince turned to the old man and said.

The old man took out a small porcelain bottle, poured out two white pills, handed them to the two guards, and said, "It's okay to have this little injury." ”

The two guards swallowed the pill, and immediately the pain was greatly reduced, and the bruise on the heart actually dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye. That is, the work of a pillar of incense, and the two of them, who were still languishing just now, became fierce again, as if they had not been injured.

The two guards bowed to the old man together and said, "Thank you, Master Immortal, for giving the elixir." ”

Seeing this, the noble prince was also amazed: "The immortal family's elixir is really wonderful, and it is not comparable to the golden medicine in the world." ”

"Back in Zhongjing, Lao Yu specially opened the furnace to refine a bottle of "Sperm Pill" for Gongzi, and kept Gongzi to take it, so that he was strong and energetic. The old man stammered with an ambiguous expression.

Gui Gongzi naturally understood the words "extraordinary energy" and nodded again and again. Turning his head, Yu angrily scolded: "You two waste, one and a half children can't deal with it, what do I want you to do." ”

"The two of us didn't expect that kid to be so tricky, and we lost my hand when we were careless, so please forgive me. We're going to beat that kid to death now, and we're going to snatch that little beauty from Childe. The two guards hurriedly knelt down to apologize, and after getting up, they were about to go out to rob people.

"Never. The old man hurriedly stopped: "Now that this matter has been opened, if you go to openly rob people, it will only get bigger and bigger." In case, if there is any rumor to Zhongjing City, it will be extremely unfavorable to Gongzi. Childe's status is noble, and he must not leave a handle on people. The old man has already made arrangements, and he will definitely let the son get his wish. As he spoke, the other two guards returned from outside.

The two of them bowed their hands to the old man and said, "Report to the immortal master, we have inquired clearly with the shopkeeper. The two brothers and sisters are rushing to Zhongjing, we don't have to do it in the city, we can go out of the city first and wait for them on the road. ”

"Where can I start outside the city?"

"Out of the city, along the official road for twenty miles, there is a pine forest, which is the only way to go to Zhongjing, let's start there. ”

"Immortal Master Xu is really clever, so he acted according to the Immortal Master's clever plan. However, as a last resort, don't hurt that kid's life, I want the little beauty to be obedient, and it's useful to keep that kid. The noble prince was overjoyed when he heard this, and instructed his subordinates. After agreeing, the group left the city early and went to ambush in the pine forest.

The next morning, after Li Zhe got up, he saw that the group of Guigongzi had left, and he also inquired about the shopkeeper. Hearing that this group of people was also heading in the direction of Zhongjing, and before leaving, they also inquired about the destination of the two of them, and couldn't help but feel a big head. Li Zhe is not afraid of how powerful those people are, but that noble son must have a great background, and it is best not to provoke if he can not provoke.

Seeing this, Liu Ruyan said softly: "Brother Li, why don't we change our course and avoid those people." ”

"There is only one way to go to Zhongjing, and there will be a fork in the road after passing the pine forest in front. But I'm sure they're not going to give us a chance to leave, and we'll run into them until then. Li Zhe shook his head and replied helplessly.

When Liu Ruyan heard this, she said worriedly: "Brother Li, what should I do?"

"What should come is always coming, take one step at a time. In short, with your brother Li here, you will definitely keep Brother Liu safe. Seeing Liu Ruyan's worried expression, Li Zhe persuaded.

Li Zhe stroked the iron halberd, and said sharply with a murderous face: "If those people don't know what to do, they will have to let my ancestral Fang Tian painting halberd open again." With that, the two of them set off in a carriage.

As expected, when the two walked to the pine forest, they ran into Guigongzi's group again. The noble man somehow found a delicate wooden chair and placed it on the side of the road, and sat on it with a golden sword, and five of his men stood behind him.

Seeing this scene, Li Zhe knew that today's incident could not be avoided, so he joked unceremoniously: "Look at this posture, Your Excellency is trying to rob the road." It's only been a day since you saw you, and your Excellency led your men to fall into the grass. ”

When the noble prince heard this, he was not angry, but laughed and said, "Brother Li misunderstood. We are indeed waiting for Brother Li here, but, of course, it is not for the sake of robbery, but there is a great fortune to give to Brother Li. ”

"Da Fugui, is Your Excellency trying to pull me into the gang and rob the road together. Young Master Ben has no interest in this. Li Zhe was also confused when he heard this, but he didn't show weakness and shot back.

"It seems that Brother Li still misunderstands me a little, and I don't blame Brother Li. This king has not reported his family yet, so Brother Li naturally doesn't know him. This king's surname is Zhao Renzhi, and he is the sixth prince of my Great Zhou Dynasty. Gui Gongzi was not angry, and directly announced his identity.

Li Zhe was surprised when he heard this, although he also guessed that this noble son's background must be extraordinary, but he also did not expect that he was the prince of today.

Li Zhe already believed eighty or ninety percent in his heart, and still said: "I believe you when you say that you are the sixth prince, Your Excellency really treats me as a three-year-old child." ”

The noble prince seemed to have expected Li Zhe to say this, and without waiting for Li Zhe to finish speaking, he unbuttoned his coat and revealed the robe inside. The yellow robe is embroidered with nine dragons, but the dragon claws only have four toes, which is the python robe regulated by the prince of the dynasty.

"Now Brother Li shouldn't have any doubts about the identity of this king. The noble prince closed his clothes and said.

The four guards threatened in unison: "You two grass people, when you see the prince of the dynasty, you still don't kneel, don't you know that this is a big crime to kill your head?"

Originally, Zhao Renzhi's hand really made Li Zhe feel embarrassed, although Li Zhe was not afraid of heaven and earth, but he was just an ordinary ordinary person, and Wang Fa really had a natural binding force on him. However, Li Zhe despised the six princes' evil deeds of picking flowers last night, let alone the prince at this time, even if the emperor Lao Tzu came in person, he would not buy it.

Li Zhe ignored the intimidation of the four guards, and sneered and sarcastically said: "No wonder the current Great Zhou Kingdom is full of rogues, and even the prince has come out to pick flowers. When the four guards heard this, they were about to attack when they pressed their swords with their hands, but they were stopped by the sixth prince raising their hands.

The sixth prince unfolded the folding fan in his hand, fanned it a few times, and explained: "Brother Li misunderstood again. Last night, this king was not picking flowers, but choosing a concubine for today's saint. According to the national law of the Great Zhou Dynasty, I choose a concubine once every three years in the Great Zhou Kingdom, and this year is the year to choose a concubine. In previous years, the selection of concubines was made with great fanfare, which made the people unhappy. Today, the saint is sympathetic to the people's feelings, and decrees that this year's concubine election will be carried out in secret, so as not to work the people and lose money. Yesterday, I saw Ling Mei's country beautiful and fragrant, peerless, and the people were not secretly invested, so I wanted to introduce Ling Mei to the palace. With the peerless appearance of Ling Mei, he will inevitably be favored, and at that time, Brother Li became a relative of the emperor, and it is just around the corner to add an official to the knighthood. The words of the sixth prince were impeccable, and Li Zhe could not argue whether it was true or false for a while.

The major event of entering the palace as a concubine depends on Liu Ruyan's own intentions, and she can't make decisions for her. Therefore, Li Zhe looked at Liu Ruyan and waited for her to make her own decision.

Liu Ruyan saw Li Zhe looking at her, and her heart was furious. Originally, I was engaged to you, and you were determined to avenge your father and regretted your marriage halfway, which is no longer right, and now you still treat me as a woman who climbs the dragon and attaches the phoenix.

Looking at Liu Ruyan's eyes full of anger, Li Zhe couldn't help but feel a little weak, and at the same time understood Liu Ruyan's intentions, for some reason, Li Zhe couldn't help but be a little happy in his heart.

Li Zhe was thinking about how to push back the words of the sixth prince. Liu Ruyan opened her mouth first: "As far as the little woman knows, according to the national law of my Great Zhou Kingdom, only the women in the boudoir are eligible to participate in the selection of concubines, and the little woman has already left the cabinet, so she has to disappoint the prince." ”

"Out of the cabinet, Miss Liu won't be the king of prevarication, you must know that this is a crime of bullying the king, and she wants to destroy the nine clans. The sixth prince frowned when he heard this, and said with an expression of obvious disbelief.

"To tell you the truth, the two of us are not cousins, in fact, they are a husband and wife, only because of the change in our hometown, we must not go to Zhongjing to join relatives, in order to avoid being harassed by some senseless prodigal sons on the road, so we pretend to be cousins, please the prince to investigate. Liu Ruyan explained softly and firmly.

Liu Ruyan's words with a stick made the sixth prince's face red. In fact, the so-called selection of concubines is nonsense from the sixth prince, but it is true that he wants to send Liu Ruyan into the palace.

The current emperor of the Great Zhou Kingdom had four adult sons, the eldest prince Zhao Renli, the second prince Zhao Renyi, the fourth prince Zhao Renxin, and the sixth prince Zhao Renzhi. Among the four princes, only the eldest prince Zhao Renli was born to the queen, Zhao Renli was not only the only concubine, but also the eldest among the princes, no matter which point of view, he was the only candidate for the crown prince, and was undisputed as the crown prince, and his position was extremely stable. The other three princes are all concubines, and they don't have to fight at all, even if they have any ideas, they can only keep them in their hearts.

If nothing else, the three of them are ready to live their lives as princes. But this accident really happened, and in June this year, the prince died suddenly. The seats in the East Palace were vacant all of a sudden, and the three princes naturally appeared on the stage one by one, using all their skills to make the emperor's father happy, so that they could have a chance to fill the vacancy in the East Palace.

It's just that the three of them are evenly matched, and they can't tell the winner for a while. The sixth prince was worried that he couldn't find a way to gain an advantage, and it happened that Liu Ruyan came to the door. With the lustful character of today's saint and Liu Ruyan's peerless appearance, this is a wonderful move that can directly kill the other two princes in one step, and the sixth prince can't let go of anything.

The sixth prince saw that the soft one was not good, and he had to come to the hard one. The sixth prince glanced at the four guards, and the four guards immediately attacked. "Bold boy, you dare to bully the king, let us take you down first, and then slowly punish the crime. With that, the four of them drew their swords and rushed towards Li Zhe. The two who were punched twice by Li Zhe yesterday rushed forward in the first place.

"What is soft is not hard to be hard, your young master has never been afraid, and he just moves his muscles and bones. Li Zhe laughed when he saw this scene, took out Fang Tian's painting halberd from the carriage, and laughed loudly.

The five of them fought together, and the four guards could be the prince's bodyguards, so naturally they would not be weak. However, in front of Li Zhe's supernatural iron halberd, the four of them were dwarfed, and they only had the power to parry. Under Li Zhe's angry attack, the four of them were like a small boat in the sea, rising and falling, and they were about to be defeated.

When the sixth prince saw the battle situation, he thought to himself: How can this halberd method surnamed Li be so good. Why is this iron halberd so familiar, surnamed Li. Could it be that this kid is a descendant of the king side by side.

The sixth prince just wanted to open his mouth to remind the four guards, but unfortunately it was too late, the victory and defeat had already been divided, and the four guards had all been seriously injured and fell to the ground.
