Records of the King of Xin'an County

Facing the sudden attack of bandits, His Royal Highness Prince Pu's bodyguards and trilogy did not show any weakness.They have never slackened in training because they were trapped in the fief with their masters, and they practiced on the school ground almost every day.As soon as the Dian army gave an order, they reflexively raised their bows and arrows and fired in volley. After the front row finished shooting, the rear row continued to shoot.After a burst of random arrows, the bandits fell to the ground in a haphazard manner, halfway there.

The remaining half still rushed forward persistently, with a very clear direction, pointing directly at the two princes in the middle of the road.The Dian army hastily mobilized their subordinates to form a cone formation, protecting both Li Tai and Li Hui behind them. Unexpectedly, a dozen or so bandits rushed out from behind them, and also scattered a shower of arrows.Not long after, the formation of the guards was rushed into chaos, and the blood splashed everywhere quickly stained the robes of Prince Pu and his son.

Li Tai's face was pale, the flesh on his cheeks trembled, he pulled out the horizontal knife from his waist with difficulty, and raised it tremblingly: "Dare to offend the lonely! Kill without pardon!!"

It was too late for Li Hui to express his surprise at his grandfather's courage, he suddenly turned his head, drew his bow and shot arrows, like a divine help, and shot several people in succession.Although none of them were killed by one arrow, it created an excellent opportunity for the bodyguards to kill the enemy.After using up all the arrows, he drew out his horizontal knife and wanted to join the battle, but Li Tai grabbed his sleeve tightly.

Amid the brave shouts of killing, the father and son confronted each other speechlessly, one was determined to let go, the other was very helpless.In the end, King Xin'an still chose to be a filial son and stay by his grandfather's side.Just now he was also in a moment of enthusiasm, thinking about it carefully, with his immature body now, he will definitely not be the opponent of those bearded bandits.Instead of frightening the guards and spending more energy guarding him, it's better to stay behind for the time being.

150 elite soldiers faced off against [-] or [-] bandits whose origins were unknown, and the outcome was naturally needless to mention.What's more, under the reminder of King Xin'an, this group of elite soldiers kept shouting their identities loudly, and repeatedly attacking each other was an act of treason.Threats and pressure made the minds of the thugs more and more shaken, their killing intent decreased sharply, and their actions gradually became timid.

When the rest of the bandits fled in a panic, there were less than ten people left, and their bodies were lying all over the ground.The Dian army immediately sent people to clean up the battlefield and bandage the wounded.Fortunately, although there were serious injuries in the bodyguard group of their own family, there were no battle casualties.Li Hui expressed his appreciation for their bravery.Without his reminding, Li Tai immediately stated that he would definitely ask for credit for his loyal subordinates, and when he returned to Chang'an, he would reward them heavily.

Everyone who had won a battle became more and more excited, even the wounded were beaming with joy.After a while, the bonfire slowly rose.On the bloody post road that has not been cleaned up, everyone still starts to bury the pot to make food, soothe the rumbling stomach after the fierce battle.Although smiling, Li Tai, whose face was still pale, went back to the tent to rest.

At this time, Li Hui calmly called the two Dian soldiers aside, with a particularly dignified expression: "The swords and swords held by these people are all very sharp, and they all have beards to hide their faces. The dead men who came here. Their goal has always been clear, it is Grandpa. If there are prisoners, you two might as well interrogate them first. Or check the corpses for any clues."

The Dian soldiers had richer knowledge and experience than him, and they also had doubts already.

One said: "Someone has checked the corpses. All the corpses don't look like bandits who lived a hard life. After wiping off the mud and water stains, they don't look like farmers or country rangers at all. They only have hands that have been held all year round. The cocoons left by holding a sword or practicing arrows, and the scars on the body are also arrow wounds and sword wounds, which must be the part of a dead man or privately raised. However, people look strange, and it is difficult to identify the source of weapons. With these corpses, it is impossible to determine where and where they came from."

"It's no wonder they didn't speak from the beginning to the end. They must be unwilling to reveal their local accent to teach us to detect abnormalities." Li Hui nodded, thinking carefully, "Can there be any prisoners?"

Another replied: "The lightly wounded escaped, the seriously wounded committed suicide, and no captives were found - it can be seen that they are indeed dead men with evil intentions. Mr. Sanlang, we must continue to track down these escaped dead men immediately. Only immediately Notify Zhechong Mansion of this place, and rely on the strength of the mansion soldiers and villagers to catch them all. Otherwise, the longer it is delayed, the more likely they will escape. The people behind the scenes will not be found."

"Then hurry up and send someone to Zhechong Mansion. In addition, the eight hundred miles is urgent, and the news of the mountain collapse and the robbers will be sent back to Chang'an as soon as possible. If there is any extra information, there is no need to tell others. However, it must be done one by one. Ten report to Brother Ming, please pay attention to any changes in Chang'an City."

"Yes. Do you want to report those speculations to the king?"

Li Hui looked at the brightly lit tent from a distance, pondered for a while, and shook his head: "No need." My grandfather had long since lost the ambition to win the heir, and he was full of thoughts of reunion after returning to Chang'an. Hele, why bother to disturb him, make him restless and frightened?If he knew that someone was plotting to kill him secretly, he might fall ill on the road right away as he is already very weak.

Moreover, he couldn't figure out for a while, who else could offend Grandpa who had been trapped in the fiefdom for many years?Who is in the way?Now that he was only summoned back to Beijing, someone couldn't wait to assassinate him? !When he failed to seize the heirloom, he was no longer a threat to his uncle.How could that uncle, who cared so much about his benevolent reputation, do such a meaningless thing?Could it be that besides uncle, Grandpa has any hidden enemies?Is it the hidden danger left by the seizure of the throne?

Full of doubts, King Xin'an finally arrived at Lingbei Station the next day with His Royal Highness Prince Pu. On the way, he met soldiers from the nearby Zhechong Mansion galloping after hearing the news.After the Captain Zhechong heard what happened to the father and son, he was immediately startled and sweated profusely.You must know that maintaining local law and order is also the responsibility of the Zhechong Mansion. If there are bandits—and those bandits who dared to rob Prince Pu's car, the current saint who has always loved this son will definitely be punished.And he and the county magistrate in charge of this place can only be regarded as guilty and meritorious if they capture the fleeing bandits.As for his future career, he can only ask for blessings.

After figuring out the stakes, Captain Zhechong decisively left Captain Guo Yi and six hundred soldiers to guard His Highness King Pu, and assisted King Xin'an to clear the post road.He himself hurriedly went back to the county magistrate to discuss the arrangement, and quickly cleaned up the mess.

As soon as he arrived at the post office, Li Hui immediately tidied himself up.After that, he bid farewell to Li Tai, intending to rush back immediately to meet Yan Shi.Knowing that someone was watching in the dark, he was extremely worried about Yan's safety, and he couldn't care less about resting.Before leaving the post, he worriedly inspected the defenses set up by the two Dian soldiers, and talked with Zhuo post and post Ding for a while, making sure that they were no threat, and then left with peace of mind.

When he led the soldiers of the Zhechong Mansion to the collapsed canyon, a path was barely cleared on the opposite side.Coincidentally, Yan Shi was wearing a veiled hat, and he trotted over with a gallant horse.

His son couldn't help staring blankly: "Mother can ride a horse?" The mother he knew was good at painting scrolls, calligraphy, gentle and virtuous, but he didn't have the impression of her heroic appearance.Could it be that he just didn't have a chance to see her?Or did the mother not get a chance to show it either?

"Of course I will." Yan laughed amused by his silly appearance, "Is there any noble lady in Chang'an City who can't ride a horse? Could it be that you think I'll just sit dignifiedly on a cart or on a eaves On? Even your grandmother was very good at riding horses back then. No matter how pampered and pampered your aunts and aunts were, they used to gallop on horses when they were young. Not to mention riding horses, they just shoot and hunt horses Ball, they are not behind the sons in everything."

Of course, Li Hui didn't know this. His past life was too far away from the rich and noble hometown of Chang'an.The married concubine looks so close to each other that she doesn't even meet each other.All his impressions of the noble ladies are just from the Yan family and various rumors from hearsay.

At this time, Wang Zixian also drove over.He looked at Li Hui without any trace, and was completely relieved when he saw that he was indeed safe and sound.The news that an unknown person pretended to be a mountain bandit and attacked Prince Pu and his son had already been spread through his songs.Although Bu Qu guaranteed that Prince Pu and his son were both safe and sound, he still couldn't be completely relieved if he didn't witness it with his own eyes.

When he received the news, he was not as puzzled as Li Hui.He could almost conclude that this was another pawn that he couldn't wait to move desperately for the glory and wealth in his dream.If one blow fails, this pawn has already left many flaws, and sooner or later it will be dug out and then ruthlessly discarded.He could even vaguely guess several declining families that were likely to be involved, and he had already sent Mo Qu to investigate.

However, it is a pity that Li Hui cannot tell these things.

They just got to know each other, and although they feel very congenial with each other, it is far from the level that he is willing to entrust all the secrets to him.Such a dirty secret is related to his clan, his wealth and life, and even the court.Before he has figured it out, he must not act rashly.

"Zixian, I have troubled you for the past two days." Li Hui, who knew nothing about this, smiled slightly at him.

Wang Zixian raised the corners of his lips: "Why are you being so polite to me, Your Majesty?"

"Even if you are a close friend, the proper etiquette is also indispensable." Li Hui solemnly crossed his hands at him, "I also want to send you some gifts to thank you."

"An ordinary gift is fine. If it is a painting by the king or a fish cake made by the king, I will accept it without hesitation."

"Don't worry, it won't be an ordinary gift. If it wasn't made by myself, I wouldn't be able to give it away."

After all, the two looked at each other and smiled, feeling much closer to each other.

At the same time, Babaili, who had been in danger again and again, King Pu rushed to report, and was already lying in the Liangyi Hall of Chang'an Taiji Palace.
