Chongxi [rebirth]

After Ye Wang left the table, people left the table one after another.

At this time, most of the banquet was over, the guests were not restricted to their seats, they found acquaintances to talk together in twos and threes, and many people took the opportunity to find Li Fengqi to toast.

Qi Shao, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, carried the flagon over and said loudly, "My lord, shall we have a drink?"

He is in his early thirties, with a beard and a fierce face, but his eyes are full of righteousness.

"Master Qi hasn't had a drink with them yet?" Li Fengqi raised his glass to meet him, and drank a cup.

Qi Shao snorted: "Those people can't drink as much as the prince. After drinking two pots, they will retreat. It's very boring."

As he spoke, he picked up the jug to pour wine for Li Fengqi.Li Fengqi raised his hand to cover the wine cup, and said with a slight smile, "I'm afraid I won't be free to drink with Lord Shangshu today."

Qi Shao was puzzled: "My lord invited us here today, but he didn't drink alcohol? Isn't that justified?"

He served in the Ministry of War, and dealt with the Northern Xinjiang Governor's Mansion more times, and he was even more familiar with Li Fengqi, and he didn't have so many scruples when he spoke. Seeing this, he smiled and discarded the cup and changed the bowl: "It's still the prince who dislikes small cups and tastes bad. , do you want to change the bowl?"

Li Fengqi raised his brows when he heard this: "It's true that I don't have time to drink with Master Qi today. My princess drank too much and went outside to sober up, and she hasn't returned. I'm worried, I need to take a look."

After finishing speaking, he called Zhu Lie, pushed him in front of Qi Shao, and said with a smile: "Let Zhu Lie drink with you, it happens that he still has something to talk to you about."

He squeezed Zhu Lie's shoulder secretly, and said in a low voice, "Northern Xinjiang's military expenses are owed 8 taels."

Zhu Lie was enjoying his drink at first, when he heard his words, he was shocked and became sober.

He looked at Qi Shao in front of him, he rubbed his hands together, his eyes sparkled, he asked the maid to bring the wine jar directly, and handed one to Qi Shao: "Master Qi, long time no see, old Zhu is here to have a good drink with you !"

Zhu Lie managed to deal with Qi Shao, and Li Fengqi went to find Ye Yunting by himself.

Ye Yunting said to go out to enjoy some air, but he didn't come back after a while. Thinking about his little drinking capacity, Li Fengqi was not at ease, so he went to find out by himself.

Seeing him go out, Yue Changgou at the side quickly called Chang Yu'an and followed him.

Sitting at the top, Li Zong glanced across the crowd, and finally focused on Han Chan. He smiled and offered the invitation: "I have arranged a good show, teacher, do you want to follow me to see it?"

Han Chan looked up at him, but didn't intend to get up: "Why does Your Majesty do these little tricks to anger King Yong'an? It's not beneficial to the current situation."

"I haven't said anything yet, how does the teacher know what I'm going to do?" Li Zong was puzzled, he continued to look at Han Chan with a smile, on the surface he was inviting, but his tone was a bit tough: "Teacher, let me go with you." Take a look, maybe there is a surprise?"

Han Chan put down the wine glass, looked at him for a few seconds, sighed slightly, and finally got up: "Then follow your majesty's advice, go and have a look."

Li Zong then laughed: "Let's go."

Zhanran Pavilion.

Ye Yunting turned around quickly to avoid Commander Pan's attacking hand, and used the pillars of the pavilion to dodge and deal with him.

Commander Pan missed twice and three times, his eyes became more fierce, and his expression became serious.

Ye Yunting has been paying attention to his expression and movements, and seeing that his face is still flushed, but his eyes are very clear, his heart skipped a beat, and he vaguely realized something.

——I'm afraid that Commander Pan was drunk and insulted him. It's true that he pretended to be drunk and deliberately made trouble for him.

Pan commanded a warrior, and his position in the army was not high.Ye Yunting didn't believe that he had the guts to come and trouble him in Yong'an Palace, unless there was someone behind him who could back him up afterwards.

And the only one who could back him up was Emperor Li Zong, other than Grand Tutor Han Chan.

According to their personalities, Han Chan disdains such low-level tricks, but Li Zong often likes to use some low-level tricks that harm others and benefit himself.

Ye Yunting had a clue in his mind, and seeing Commander Pan's face became more and more condensed: "Commander Pan, no matter what the person who ordered you here promised you, I need to remind you that the people behind you are not enough to be in Yong'an. protect you from the king's wrath."

There was a moment of hesitation on Commander Pan's face, but then he widened his eyes and rushed towards Ye Yunting with crooked steps: "Even if the king of heaven is here, I'm going to take care of you today!"

He obviously took it seriously this time, although his footsteps were crooked, his speed was extremely fast, and at the same time he blocked Ye Yunting's escape route.

There was no way for Ye Yunting to avoid it, and when he was hesitating to jump down from the rockery, he heard a voice shouting: "Ye Yunting! Come back!"

He paused, looked up, and saw Ye Fan rushing towards him with big strides.

Commander Pan, who was pressing closely, didn't expect someone to come suddenly, and his expression changed accordingly.When the man ordered him to do things, he specifically explained that he would clean up the surrounding people and no one would come over.

He turned his head to look at the person, but he met Ye Wan's extremely angry fist.

After Ye Wang heard the maid's message, he immediately came to look for Ye Yunting excitedly.Finally, when they got to the bottom of the rockery, they saw Pan Yue approaching Ye Yunting with a ferocious face, and Ye Yunting had been forced to the edge, and he was about to jump down.

He roared, and his brain was filled with anger.The body reacted faster than the brain, rushed up and punched Commander Pan in the face with all his strength.

Commander Pan was tall and burly, he punched him in the face and shook him, but he didn't fall down. Instead, Ye Fan let out a "hiss" and gritted his teeth to hold back the intense pain, so he managed not to lose his composure. He hid his sore hands in his sleeves.Stiffing his neck, he said angrily: "Who are you? How dare you disrespect the princess in the palace? Do you want to die?!"

He didn't know Commander Pan, but Commander Pan knew him.After discovering that it was Duke Qi's second son who came, he cursed secretly in his heart.

This is a little overlord, standing behind him is Duke Qi's mansion and Yunrong Yin's family, so he can't move easily.It's just that he heard that Princess Yong'an was treated coldly when she was in Duke Qi's mansion, and now the second son is taking the lead for him, so he doesn't know what it means.

Reaching out his hand to wipe the dripping blood under his nose, Commander Pan could only grit his teeth and continue acting.

He swayed, looked drunk, cursed and said: "Where is the thief, how dare you mess with your grandfather!" After speaking, he wanted to catch Ye Wang.

As long as Ye Wang is caught, temporarily trapped.After he finished what he was told by his superiors, Duke Qi would not blame him afterwards.

But he thought well, but Ye Fan would not obediently stand where he was and let him catch him.He yelled loudly that there was an assassin, rushed up and hugged Commander Pan, turned his head and said to Ye Yunting: "Go and call someone! Hurry up!"

Just now when he came over, he noticed that this Zhan Ranting was a bit off, and he didn't see any servants around him. He yelled just to frighten Commander Pan, but in reality he had to entangle Commander Pan and let Ye Yunting take the opportunity to call for someone. .

Ye Yunting looked at him with complicated eyes, but did not move.

Ye Wang yelled at him: "Are you stupid? Go away!"

"You don't need to call someone." Ye Yunting regained his composure, and his gaze softened: "The man has come, let him go." He and Commander Pan circled around for such a long time, just counting the time and dragging Wait for Ji Lian to come back.

Ye Fan glanced around, but didn't even see a ghost, and was about to have a seizure, but saw a figure trotting over from the corner, it was Ji Lian.

"?" If the situation didn't allow it, Ye Wang really wanted to check if he was really frightened out of his mind.

What can Ji Lian do? !

Being so fat, it's hard to run, do you think there aren't enough people holding you back?

However, before he could speak, Commander Pan had already pushed him away.He also didn't care about not getting things done, hearing Ye Yunting say that someone was coming, he wanted to run as fast as he could.

Then he was bet by Ji Lian.

"Ji Lian, stop him." Ye Yunting said loudly.

Hearing this, Ji Lian put the bamboo basket in his hand aside, and rushed towards Commander Pan——

When Commander Pan saw that it was only a fat boy, his expression became much calmer. He paused and reached out to push Ji Lian away.Ji Lian didn't hide either, he let him grab the front of his chest, and took the opportunity to grab the clothes around his waist with both hands.

Seeing that he still dared to resist, Commander Pan tried to push him down the steps, but he didn't move at all when he pushed.Instead, Ji Lian grinned at him, swung his hands, lifted him over his head, and threw him back into the pavilion with great force, just in time to fall heavily at Ye Yunting's feet.

The fall was not light, Commander Pan was dizzy, he shook his head to recover, and tried to get up with his arms.

Seeing this, Ji Lian clapped his hands, picked up the bamboo basket and rushed over again, ruthlessly pawing at him a few times, until he was lying down and unable to move, then he looked at Ye Yunting and said, "Master, stop it!"

"..." Ye Fan slowly opened his mouth wide.

Ye Yunting patted his head: "Good job."

After finishing speaking, he wanted Ji Lian to call for someone, but he heard a surprised voice: "Isn't this Commander Pan? What happened?"

Ye Yunting followed the sound and saw that Li Zong and Han Chan were standing on the steps, Cui Xi was half a step behind them, it was he who made the sound just now.

Li Zong's expression was uncertain, and he winked at Cui Xi.

Cui Xi stepped forward quickly, looked at Commander Pan's situation, and then got up to reply to Li Xing: "I passed out, and my body is just some skin trauma."

"Pan Yue is the commander of the Shence Army. A servant who dares to beat the imperial court official is a death penalty." Li Zong twisted the jade pendant around his waist and said coldly: "Take him down!"

He was very unhappy.He brought Han Chan here because he wanted to watch a good show.As a result, as soon as he arrived at the place, he happened to see Pan Yue being beaten so helplessly by a servant, so he had to show up.

Since the previous method doesn't work, let's change another method, and he just wants to test the truth of those rumors.

As soon as Li Zong appeared, he asked his teacher for his crimes without asking indiscriminately, which further confirmed Ye Yunting's guess.

He took a step forward, guarding Ji Lian behind him, and confronted the Shence Army who drew his sword out of its sheath: "Pan Yue was disrespectful to me by borrowing wine, and Ji Lian just listened to my orders and sobered up Commander Pan."

Li Zong narrowed his eyes: "Wangfei is going to openly protect her?"

Ye Yunting confronted him solemnly: "It's just to explain the truth to His Majesty."

"What I have seen with my own eyes, why do I need the concubine to repeat it?" Li Zong's expression darkened, and he shouted, "Take him down!"

The guard heard the words and was about to approach him, but unexpectedly a flying knife came through the air and pierced the guard's palm with precision.The guard let go of the pain, and the long knife fell to the ground with a clatter.

"It's not clear what is right and what is wrong, why is His Majesty going to arrest someone? You are too impatient." Li Fengqi was under the steps, but his voice could not be ignored.

Li Zong turned around suddenly, and the guards beside him unsheathed all their long knives, guarding him in the middle like a guard.

The commander of the guards shouted angrily: "Presumptuous, how can you use a knife in front of Your Majesty!"

Li Zongning threw a knife at Li Fengqi's fingertips, and said in a deep voice, "What does King Yong'an mean?"

Li Fengqi put away the flying knife, and smiled casually: "Your Majesty, don't blame me, I just want to protect my wife."
