The Tang Dynasty: The Concubine of the Holy Soldier

Chapter 490 Always Be Vigilant
Chapter 490 Always Be Vigilant
Everyone immediately maintained a fighting mentality, forming a battle formation almost in the blink of an eye.

Holding a horizontal knife, Li Chengqian stood in the middle of the team, staring at the distant direction through the gap of the shield, feeling the vibration of the ground at the same time, and estimated how many enemy troops there were.

Hou Guangliang said at the side: "His Royal Highness withdraw to the White Mansion first! Leave the rest to us!"

However, Li Chengqian said slowly, "No!"

"Everyone changes formation. Separate half and hide, ready to support at all times!"

After hearing Li Chengqian's order, everyone started to act without any hesitation, let alone any unnecessary words.

Chai Lingwu and Hou Guangliang stayed behind with shields in hand, ready to resist the oncoming assassins.The rest of the second generation of dandies are armed with horizontal knives, or horse lances, and big axes are waiting!

"Tata~Tata~"

The sound of horseshoes came from far to near, and everyone subconsciously clenched their weapons.

Looking at the torches in the distance, Li Chengqian was very puzzled, and at the same time thought: "Could it be that these assassins dare to walk on the streets of Chang'an City with torches so blatantly!?"

"Aren't you afraid of being shot with a crossbow on the way?"

Just when Li Chengqian was about to give the order to release the arrows, Chai Lingwu suddenly shouted: "It's my own!"

Li Chengqian hurriedly waved his hand to signal all the dandies to put down their strong bows. After all, these people's shooting skills are really too strong. If the order was given later, those people in front of them might have fallen off their horses.

These figures coming on horseback soon appeared in the sight of everyone.

When Li Chengqian saw that the leader was Li Junxian, his brows immediately eased, and he couldn't help but think in his heart: "Could it be that the father is here in person?"

Immediately, he shouted loudly: "Everyone put away their weapons!"

After hearing the order, there was a clatter in the team, and everyone quickly put away their weapons, because they also knew in their hearts that if Li Junxian could appear here, the Holy One might not be far away.

The female guard just glanced at them indifferently. After all, the Shadow Guard had already sent back news that the Holy Majesty was leading a group of guards.

Looking at the indifferent and fearless appearance of the female soldiers, Li Chengqian was very puzzled.

When I was trained by these female guards, I always told myself to be vigilant all the time, even in Chang'an City, but why these female guards seem to be so lax now.

Li Chengqian thought in his heart: "Could it be because these female guards are very confident in their own strength, or they have already received the news that the father is going to lead the army!?"

When thinking of this, Li Chengqian had no other thoughts, he could only lament in his heart that Bai Jingyi was not only powerful, but also came up with various shocking methods in an endless stream.

No wonder they were able to beat the Turkic barbarians to pieces, and there was no room for resistance at all.

At the same time, this also strengthened Li Chengqian's belief in wanting to stay in the White Mansion. Firstly, he could learn many superb techniques from Bai Jingyi, and secondly, he could strengthen the relationship between himself and Bai Jingyi.

Moreover, Li Chengqian always kept in mind the task that Li Er entrusted to him, which was to disperse the military power of the 2 Northern Liang army through him and the second generation of dandies.

This was used to check and balance Bai Jingyi's rights, thereby dissipating the threat of the Northern Liang Army to Chang'an City.

"Tata~Tata~"

The sound of the horse's hooves gradually weakened, and finally stopped directly in front of Chai Lingwu and the others.

Li Junxian asked in a deep voice: "What happened to those assassins?"

After all, as the commander of the guards, protecting the safety of the Holy Majesty is his only thought.

And Chai Lingwu clasped his fists at Li Junxian and said: "Return to the general! All the assassins have been killed! Only one is left alive!"

After hearing the news, Li Junxian breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, and waved to the guards.

"Clang~clang~clang~"

The Five Thousand Yulin Army took back the weapons in their hands one after another, and at the same time moved away from the protective circle to reveal Li Er's face.

After seeing Li Er's face, Li Chengqian and the second generation of dandies all knelt on one knee and cupped their fists at him and said, "I see you!"

"The final general will see His Majesty!"

Seeing everyone saluting, Li Er waved his hand and said, "Everyone will be excused!"

"Thank you, Lord!"

A group of people got up after thanking them, and Li Er said to Li Chengqian: "Great! Come and talk to me in detail!"

Hearing Li Er's words, the [-] Yulin Army formed an encirclement to isolate the rest of the idlers, so that no one could know the conversation between Li Er and Li Chengqian.

Although everyone was curious about what Li Erhui and Li Chengqian would say, they had better not listen to such head-scratching words.

Bai Jingyi had also noticed Li Er's team in front of the gate, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

In Bai Jingyi's view, the reason why Li Er led his troops here in person must be because Li Chengqian was more important to Datang.

After all, the heir of a country is still much more important than a princess...

Thinking of this, Bai Jingyi became even more angry, but Li Er was not in the White House after all, there was no way to drive him away.

Immediately, Bai Jingyi ordered: "Send the order! Gather and withdraw the troops! Everyone is not allowed to hang out!"

"Subordinates obey!"

After hearing Bai Jingyi's order, the female guard quickly rang the gong to withdraw troops.

After hearing the sound of gathering, all the second generation of dandies retracted their weapons one after another, and hurried towards the direction of the White Mansion.

"dong dong dong~~"

The sound of gongs resounded in everyone's ears, causing them to quickly gather in the direction of Baifu as if by conditioned reflex.

Li Chengqian had just stepped into Li Er's carriage, and before he had time to say a few words, he heard the sound of a gong behind him.

In desperation, Li Chengqian could only bow his hands to Li Er and say, "I report to my father! The White House has begun to gather soldiers! My son needs to leave!"

Although Li Er still wanted to ask something more, but now that the White Mansion had already started to gather, he had no choice but to say to Li Chengqian: "Great, let's go back first!"

"My son, leave!" After saying that, Li Chengqian left the carriage directly.

Li Er looked at the back of Li Chengqian who was soaked in blood and then left gracefully, feeling extremely satisfied in his heart.Because he saw the obvious changes in Li Chengqian during this period of time.

He even felt that even if Li Chengqian didn't disperse the military power of the Beiliang Army in the end, he would be enough to be alone in the future.

Seeing Li Chengqian walking farther and farther, Li Er said lightly: "Get up! Go back to the palace!"

"The last general obeys the order!" After Li Junxian took the order, he shouted loudly to the attendants behind him: "Get up!"

Afterwards, the team slowly moved towards the palace, still maintaining vigilance along the way.
