The waste prince is so fierce

Could it be that he was deliberately creating confusion?

Or, was he trying to use bait to attract his attention?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was not right. Li Quan decided to speed up and return to the capital as soon as possible.

As for the rest, Li Quan was too lazy to consider it for the time being.

"Pass on my order. Do not rest tonight. Travel overnight to avoid any more trouble!"

Thinking of this, Li Quan shouted to the outside.

"Yes!"

Soon, all the soldiers under his command knew his orders.

Therefore, when night fell, his army moved even faster.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a deafening noise was heard in the distance, followed by smoke and dust filling the sky.

"Oh no, there's an assassin! Protect His Highness!"

Upon hearing this voice, Li Quan's expression immediately changed drastically, and he roared, "Everyone be on guard, beware of the enemy's sneak attack."

"bang bang bang"

However, at this moment, countless dark shadows suddenly emerged from all directions.

These dark shadows instantly fell into Li Quan’s military camp.

“Puff, puff!”

The smell of blood filled the air.

Li Quan's army was caught off guard and was instantly killed by the knives of these men in black.

"kill!"

With a cold shout, countless men in black swarmed in.

Li Quan watched this scene and simply protected Zeng Wenjing behind him. While protecting Zeng Wenjing, he retreated into the distance.

The guards he brought with him stood in front, buying Li Quan a precious opportunity to escape.

"Protect His Highness!"

A general raised his weapon high, stood in front, and roared, "Kill!"

"Protect His Highness!"

"Kill!"

At this moment, all the generals under Li Quan bravely rushed forward to protect Li Quan's retreat.

pity……

Although the guards under Li Quan were well-trained, there were only a few dozen of them and their combat effectiveness was relatively weak.

What's more, the death squad of Prince Ping's Mansion was too powerful.

"Boom!"

As the two sides fought, Li Quan's side quickly fell into a disadvantage.

It looked like I could no longer resist.

"Whoosh!"

At this critical moment, suddenly, a sharp arrow shot out.

"clang!"

The arrow hit the assassin.

The assassin didn't even react. He fell to the ground, twitching, and died.

"Who plotted against me?"

The warriors who were besieging Li Quan shouted angrily, "Come out! Stop hiding."

"hey-hey"

Suddenly, a sinister laugh was heard: "Guess what?"

"Shh!"

As soon as he finished speaking, another sharp arrow flew through the air.

The arrow pierced the throat of one of the assassins.

While those assassins were stunned, they were suddenly hit by two sharp arrows.

In an instant, the remaining people fell in a pool of blood.

"call!"

Li Quan breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head to look at the person who came, and said gratefully: "Brother, thank you for saving me."

"You're welcome. I'm here to protect you on the orders of my master!"

The man cupped his hands and said, "Since the young master has been saved, I will take my leave now!"

After that, he turned and left.

Li Quan nodded slightly and did not try to keep him.

Just now, if it weren’t for this strange young man, I would have been in danger during this sudden ambush!

only……

On the orders of my master?

Li Quan frowned.

He always felt that all this seemed not simple.

However, he couldn't clearly explain what was difficult about it.

"Forget it, why bother so much?"

Li Quan shook his head and said, "Anyway, we are about to enter the capital. I don't believe that my cheap father will watch me being assassinated in the capital."

Thinking of this, Li Quan smiled.

Beijing, here I come again!

are you ready?

......

The first thing Li Quan did after returning to the capital was not to go to the inn to rest, but to go to Yihonglou and order a large table of wine and food.

Yihonglou, the most popular brothel in Beijing.

Because the four famous prostitutes in the capital are all here.

At the same time, it is also the fastest place to get information.

This place is a mixed crowd, and people from all walks of life come here to eat and play with women.

So, be well-informed.

Of course, the most important thing is that this is also Li Quan’s secret base.

Here, he hid an extremely large intelligence network, enough to cover the entire capital city.

Moreover, any information can be collected.

However, he never expected that what was waiting for him would be a huge net.

"Tap Tap"

Just as Li Quan was sitting in Yihongyuan enjoying the food, a sound of footsteps was suddenly heard.

"Ok?"

Li Quan looked up and saw a team of patrolling guards approaching here.

"The Imperial Palace Guards?!"

Looking at the clothes worn by the person who came, Li Quan's face suddenly changed.

He had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Da da da!"

Sure enough, the next moment, the group of patrolling guards stopped at the door.

"Who dares to break into Yihonglou? You must be tired of living!"

"Humph! Courting death!"

At this moment, a light snort was heard, and then a middle-aged man walked out.

It was Li Quan’s uncle, Li Jiancheng!

Li Jiancheng looked around and saw the mess in the room, with a cold smile on his face.

"Li Quan!"

"Your Highness, why did you come to the capital and not come to my house to sit for a while?"

Li Jiancheng said sternly: "Do you still have me as your uncle?"

"Hahaha"

Hearing this, Li Quan laughed wantonly, looked at Li Jiancheng, and said coldly: "Li Jiancheng, in my eyes, there is no uncle like you at all."

"I, Li Quan, have always admired your way of being an official and thought you were a great hero. But I never expected that you would be so ambitious and go to great lengths to expel me from the capital, and even ambush and kill me on the way!"

"I, Li Quan, must be blind to think you are worthy of admiration!"

"presumptuous!"

Li Jiancheng was furious.

"Snapped!"

Li Quan slapped Li Jiancheng hard on the cheek and said, "Li Jiancheng, who do you think you are? Are you qualified to teach me?"

"In this world, the only people I admire are those loyal ministers and good officials who serve the country and the people!"

"And you, Li Jiancheng!"

Li Quan pointed at Li Jiancheng's nose and cursed: "You bastard, how can you be considered a loyal minister?"

"Shut up!"

Li Jiancheng shouted angrily, staring coldly at Li Quan, and said, "Whether I, Li Jiancheng, am a loyal minister or not is not your turn to judge. But you, who sent people to assassinate King Ping and disregarded the relationship between brothers, what crime should you be punished for?"

"I bother!"

Li Quan spat in Li Jiancheng's face and said coldly, "I assassinated him? Haha, you really want to put all kinds of accusations on me! If you want to punish me, come and try."

After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.

"Want to go?"

Li Jiancheng sneered, waved his hand, and said to the surrounding imperial guards: "Catch him and send him to the Ministry of Justice for interrogation!"

The surrounding imperial guards immediately rushed out, trying to capture Li Quan.

"Qiang!"

The sound of sword suddenly rang out, and a long sword with a cold glow blocked Li Quan's body.

Immediately afterwards, a cold voice sounded: "Who dares to move!"

"Ok?"

Li Jiancheng's pupils shrank as he looked at the man standing in front of Li Quan, his face darkening: "Have you thought it through? If you take action, you will be going against Da Kang!"

"hehe!"

The man smiled, slowly drew out the long sword in his hand, and pointed at Li Jiancheng: "This is okay for Emperor Kang, but not for you!"
