Records of the King of Xin'an County

Chapter 48 Unexpected Development

Before I knew it, the sky had already darkened.The lights in the Lizheng Hall were gradually lit up, and it was as bright as day in a short time.Originally, it was already time for the evening meal, but now everyone in the palace seemed to feel no hunger, and no one in the palace dared to remind him even half a word.There was still silence inside, the sage, Li Kun and others were motionless, almost stiff; the outside still seemed to be stagnant, and everyone couldn't hide their grief and bewilderment.

Su suddenly raised her head and looked outside the hall, with a worried look on her face.Li Qianniang, who was kneeling behind her, rolled her eyes, glanced at everyone, hooked the corners of her mouth, then sobbed softly, and fell to the ground: "Mother, brother... why hasn't brother come back? Could it be... ...Could something have happened? My son is really worried about the safety of my elder brother and my grandfather..."

Although her crying was extremely soft, it still broke the silence outside.After being slightly startled, Su gave her a cold look, with complex expressions on her face, which finally returned to plain.She leaned on her body, naturally she didn't realize it, she just cried more and more affectionately, as if she was extraordinarily filial and fraternal.Yan Shi and other three sisters-in-law were sitting not far from Su Shi, they could hear it vaguely, so they all sat down.Li Hui also woke up from his grief and narrowed his eyes.

"Sister-in-law, Ah Jue has been gone for two hours?" Mrs. Du had already noticed Li Jue's departure, "It's really strange that I haven't entered the palace yet. Why don't I send some guards to take a look?" Can she The guards transferred were naturally only the guards of the Eastern Palace.But no one is sure, the Su family will agree to the Eastern Palace guards going to the other courtyard to see Li Song's current appearance with their own eyes.After all, since Li Jue went to invite him in person but Li Song still did not enter the palace, it can be seen that his current situation may not be suitable for outsiders to see.

However, Su Clan did not hesitate, nodded and said, "I'm sorry, brother and sister."

Li Qianniang raised her head immediately, and said with tears, "Aunt... let the cousins ​​go and see? After all... after all..." After "after all", there are no other words, but it is enough to make people think ——Or is it a family scandal that should not be publicized?Or is it for the majesty of the Tian family?Or is it just the excessive worry of an ignorant girl?

In any case, something must have happened in the other courtyard that cannot be leaked.Du Shi and the other three sisters-in-law were all moved in their hearts, and their thoughts changed sharply.They have all experienced the change of taking the throne more than ten years ago, and they have also heard many things that the deposed prince did in the East Palace.Intending to treason is just the most serious crime among them. All the immoral things he has done are simply insulting to people's eyes and ears!If it repeats the same mistakes this time, it really shouldn't let outsiders know too much.

At least, at this moment, there must be no rumors that the seriously ill Empress Qin and the extremely grief-stricken sage should hear!

Therefore, Wang Shi and Yan Shi looked at each other, and almost said in unison: "Let the brothers go and have a look." Together, the cousins ​​should be able to suppress the affairs of the other courtyard and bring Li Song to the hospital. back to the palace.After all, both Li Xin and Li Wei have already become officials, and they have both the best of both worlds when they start a family and start a career, and they are both able to support their families.

Hearing this, Li Hui immediately teased Li Jing, and suggested: "The two brothers should stay here, I don't know what my grandfather will order. I will go with Ah Jing. Yankangfang is closer to Buzhengfang. Buqu is also convenient." The guards can't be used, but Buqu is his own private soldier, and he will never betray easily, and it is impossible to spread news indiscriminately.

Li Xin looked back at the inner room. As Sipu King and Siyue King, they really shouldn't leave at such a moment, so he nodded and said: "A Hui and A Jing are also grown up, let them go. Call more These episodes must be tightly guarded in other courtyards. When grandma is in better health, we will tell uncle and ask him to decide how to deal with it."

Without further ado, Li Hui hurried out of the palace with Li Jing, who was very excited.When passing by Li Qianniang, she suddenly raised her head and showed a sweet smile.He turned a blind eye—the brows of Su Shi and Du Shi who caught a glimpse accidentally moved slightly, and their eyes sank.Both Wang Shi and Yan Shi were a little worried, watching Aizi's back from afar.

And the Duke of Wu, Qin An, who was almost ignored by everyone, was sitting in the corner, looking at the emperors and grandchildren indifferently, and remained silent.

Earlier, Wang Zixian, who was delayed by concentrating on studying, stayed in Guozixue for a long time.The time when Li Hui came to pick him up was not fixed, sooner or later.If you don't see him waiting at the door, he will go into the school to look for it, and write a few big characters with the residual ink in his pottery inkstone.However, today he recited the scroll several times, but he still couldn't wait for his friend to show up.

Therefore, when Wang Zixian came to the side door of Guozixue alone, his face was a little gloomy, and the smile on the corner of his lips was a little more perfunctory.Cao Silang was holding his horse and waiting quietly, and when he saw this, he said in a low voice: "Maybe the king was late for some reason because he couldn't get away for a while. Ah Lang, why don't you go to the wine shop opposite? Grandma Qing, the taste is really good. If Alang thinks the taste is good, he can give the king a few jars..."

He has always been talkative, one person can speak louder than many people, Wang Zixian didn't care.The master and servant sat down in the small restaurant, ordered good wine and food, and drank slowly.

Not long after, Qingsou rode over in a hurry and reported in a low voice: "Ah Lang, there was movement in the other courtyard that the king ordered to keep an eye on last night. Duke Xi came back from the palace suddenly, and then there was a lot of noise inside. It went on for a long time without stopping. Our people don't want to act rashly, so we can only wait outside..."

Wang Zixian frowned, the vague disappointment in his heart dissipated in an instant, calm as usual: "Keep watching, if the sky is dark and the king has not come, I will go and see in person. Cao Silang, you can go to Pu Wangfu to borrow a hundred pieces Come here quietly, don't draw attention from others." They fought side by side with the tribes of Prince Pu's residence, and won their trust, and Li Hui once ordered his cronies to be at his disposal, and those tribes who specially guarded him should be fine. .

In normal times, at this hour, the deposed concubine Su would have returned from her illness, and Li Hui's family would usually not stay in the palace for evening meals.Now that King Pu's family and Prince Abandoned's family are all staying in the palace, could it be that something important happened in the palace?In any case, he should also go to the other courtyard to find out, maybe he will be able to learn the truth from Li Jue, Duke of Xun.

Therefore, when Li Hui and Li Jing rushed to the outside of the other courtyard, the three princes, master and servant, had already mixed into the trilogy of Prince Pu's mansion, quietly waiting for orders.Li Hui glanced at it, and felt that the two or three hundred pieces in front of him should be enough, so he gave up the idea of ​​going to Wu Guogong's Qin Mansion to borrow Princess Qinghe's pieces.

Li Jing was in a hurry and couldn't wait to say: "Cousin Hui, I'll go in and have a look first!" After finishing speaking, he ordered someone to knock on the gate of the other courtyard immediately.The servant guarding the gate heard that it was the king of Xin'an County and Tianshui County who had come to visit Li Song and Li Jue at the order of the Su family. He hesitated for a moment, and then opened the door.

Li Jing got a little impatient for waiting, so she pushed away the servants standing in front of her, and rushed inside regardless of their calls.Li Hui shook his head, and sent twenty or so troops to follow behind him to protect his safety.Then, he ordered the rest of the steps to enclose the courtyard on the third and outer floors, and no one was allowed to enter or leave: "If someone breaks in, take him down first!! Shoot and kill!!"

"Obey!" All the parts agreed in unison, and immediately followed their respective teams to disperse in an orderly manner.

After that, Li Huicai led dozens of relatives into the other courtyard, and Wang Zixian followed closely behind him.Because he knew a little about other courtyards, when he rushed to the altar surrounded by ancient trees, Li Jing hadn't arrived yet.What caught their eyes was the scene where Li Jue led a group of servants to confront dozens of burly men.The two sides pushed and shoved, quarreled, yelled and cursed like a bustling market, but they remained at loggerheads.

Li Jue's hair was disheveled, a corner of his head was torn off, his cheeks were swollen, five fingerprints were clearly visible, and there were bruises on his forehead, making him look extremely embarrassed.He is the majestic Duke of Xi, so it is naturally impossible for the servants to do anything to him.It is self-evident who the person who hurt him is.

This cousin has always given people the impression of being as gentle as jade, gentle as water, and even had sympathy for the traitor Huan He, he is indeed a gentleman.However, at this moment, there was determination and determination in his eyes, like jade stones that were suddenly shattered, each piece had sharp edges and corners.

He suddenly stepped forward a few steps, came to the head of the big man on the opposite side, and said coldly: "Duke Xi is here, please get out of the way!!"

The big man was slightly stunned, cupped his hands and said: "We are ordered by Alang to stay here and not allow anyone to enter. Please forgive me and go back and apply the medicine."

"I am the Duke of Xun. Although he is the father, he is just a mere commoner! How can a commoner afford to support private soldiers?! You should be my tribe, not his tribe, You should obey my orders!! Hurry up and get out of the way!" Li Jue had no intention of retreating, and his momentum was as sharp as a rainbow.

"Although Mr. Lang is the Duke of Xun, A Lang is the father of the Duke! When it comes to filial piety, Mr. Lang should listen to A Lang!!"

"So, you are not willing to back down no matter what?"

"A certain class only listens to A Lang's orders!"

Li Jue gritted his teeth and shouted, "Get in! Anyone who can break in will be rewarded with ten gold!!"

Attracted by the reward, the servants who were a little timid at first immediately took courage.Although they were facing a tall and burly trilogy, they quickly lost their fear, their eyes were full of greed, and their hearts were full of thinking about a reward of ten gold.There were a lot of them, they kept their heads down and rushed in, but they were forced to take a few steps back.These parts have all seen blood, and they were so annoyed that they drew out a horizontal knife to threaten——

While pushing and pulling, someone suddenly screamed: "Killed! Killed!"

"Killed! It's all blood! It's all blood!"

"What a cruel heart!!"

The next moment, the servants either turned around and ran away in panic, or angrily snatched the weapons of the tributaries, or almost frantically biting, the scene was chaotic.However, Li Jue was tripped by someone and trampled by the pushing crowd.If Cao Silang hadn't quickly turned him away, he would have been seriously injured in an instant!

Li Hui squinted his eyes, and identified several servants who were obviously fanning the flames: "Kill, leave one alive."

Wang Zixian nodded slightly, as if he had confirmed his target in an instant, he raised the arrow and shot without hesitation.Countless arrows fell silently into the night like black shadows, and the few people who were running around immediately fell to the ground silently, bleeding all over the ground.

The author has something to say: Xiaojun Wang: Hey, why do I suddenly feel that there is an extra person beside me?

Wang Langjun: You don't seem to be surprised

Xiaojun Wang: ( ̄▽ ̄) "Yeah, I don't seem to be surprised if you appear anywhere

Wang Langjun: Any, He, Place, Fang, hehe Xiaojun Wang: -W-
