Chapter 77 The battle between gentlemen

Lian Jirou noticed Li Yunxing's gaze, turned around and winked at him.

Suddenly, an old man rushed out from the crowd and grabbed Li Yunxing excitedly.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince! It's really you!"

That old man was Old Man Deng. After he fainted in the court hall, he was sent to the hospital for treatment.

Later, when I heard that the prince angrily killed corrupt officials in the court hall and restored peace to the people, Mr. Deng was so excited that he burst into tears.

He knelt down and kowtowed: "Common people, pay your respects to His Highness the Crown Prince."

Old man Deng's actions shocked the onlookers.

Li Yunxing wanted to help him up, but Old Man Deng was filled with gratitude and firmly refused.

Li Yunxing had no choice but to stand still and let him kneel and kowtow.

The others also reacted. Before, they only thought that Li Yunxing was Lian Jirou's attendant.

Looking at it again now, although Li Yunxing is wearing ordinary clothes, the aura of royal authority about him is indeed unique.

Immediately everyone in the entire street knelt down.

"Prince, a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years!"

"Prince, a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years!"

"Prince, a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years!"

These three thousand-year-old greetings were different from the routine greetings given by powerful ministers in the court. They really wished the prince a thousand-year-old from the bottom of their hearts.

The prince killed corrupt officials in Jingzhou, and he was also the nephew of Liu Zaifu at that time.

How courageous and awe-inspiring this is.

The people were full of respect for Li Yunxing and wished they could enshrine this kind-hearted prince.

When Li Yunxing saw this, a warmth suddenly surged in his heart.

He raised his hand to signal the people to stand up, and said, "Everyone, please stand up. I am the direct eldest son of the Emperor, and I cannot bear the gift of a thousand years."

After hearing this, everyone stood up one after another and looked at Li Yunxing with eager eyes, "Your Highness, we believe in you! The corrupt officials in Jingzhou have been eliminated. Our lives will only get better and better in the future. I believe that the Crown Prince will definitely give you some help."

The Wu Dynasty brought great prosperity."

Hearing these words, Li Yunxing's eyes flashed brightly.

This time, he was really happy for the people of Jingzhou and at the same time proud of himself.

If it hadn't been for this flood, he probably wouldn't have been able to appreciate this feeling of unity!

This feeling made him feel even more that people should not kneel.

If these inside stories could have been discovered earlier, perhaps Mr. Deng’s grandson and thousands of victims would not have been displaced.

Lian Jirou hurriedly stepped forward to stop everyone from kowtowing: "My father once said that the prince is a wise king, and he never wants to see the people suffer. There is no need to kneel anymore, please get up quickly."

"Yes, everyone, please get up. Today, I am not wearing official uniform. I am just an ordinary citizen. You don't have to do this."

But no matter how they tried to persuade them, everyone refused to get up.

Li Yunxing felt a little guilty. He followed Lian Jirou to the people this time, not to accept the worship of the victims.

On the contrary, he wanted to know the sufferings of the people so that he could do his best to solve the problems.

But the people expressed their enthusiasm in another way. They were willing to use their remaining strength to support the prince.

The people still stubbornly knelt on the spot, unwilling to get up.

"Everyone, listen to me. The prince is going on patrol incognito this time. If you continue to kneel here, someone with an intention will discover the prince's whereabouts, which will bring danger." Lian Jirou persuaded in a different way.

Sure enough, when it was mentioned that it might bring danger to the prince, everyone felt uneasy and raised their heads.

Seeing that the prince's expression seemed to be that he really didn't want them to bow to him anymore, they got up from the ground one after another.

But his words were still full of gratitude to Li Yunxing.

Suddenly, an explosion sounded overhead.

"Prince!" Lian Jirou was worried that someone was assassinating him, so he immediately took Li Yunxing and hid under the eaves.

Li Yunxing suddenly raised his head and looked at the sky.

I saw a flying arrow passing through and hitting the ceramic wine pot. The explosion was caused by the explosion of the wine pot.

Then several more wine bottles flew by, spilling a lot of water stains.

There was a faint aroma of wine floating in the air. Li Yunxing took a breath. This smell was familiar to him. It was the extremely expensive Jiu Yunchun wine.

There is an ancient poem that says, "I would like to hold nine brews of wine and brew a happy family together."

What we are talking about is this Jiu Ying Chun wine. It has a full and transparent body, and has a light floral and fruity aroma when you taste it carefully. A bottle of it is worth five hundred taels of silver.

Lian Jirou didn't quite understand the mystery of this wine, but now her whole heart was focused on Li Yunxing.

"Is the prince injured?"

Li Yunxing shook his head, it seemed that this was not directed at him.

Other people were angry and anxious, and some couldn't help but yelled, "It's those bastards again!"

"This is simply insane. The prince dares to play this trick of flying arrows here!"

"If anything happens to the prince, I will kill them!"

When Li Yunxing saw this, it seemed that this was not the first time this happened.

He hurriedly stopped the roar of everyone, "Everyone, calm down for a moment, what is going on?"

At this time, a lame man walked out of the crowd. He had the most say in this matter.

"Your Highness, you have to make the decision for us!"

Li Yunxing frowned, "What's going on? Please tell me in detail first."

Only then did the lame man talk about the origin of the flying arrow.

The east and west of the city used to be the sky and the earth, but recently a new high-rise building was built at the junction of the two cities, specially prepared for hundreds of opera performances.

Usually the flag hanging on the top of the tall building has a crescent-shaped scimitar embroidered on it, and the name of this tall building is "Baixi Tower".

But the people who came to watch the show were not satisfied with just watching the show.

Nowadays, a popular form of archery called "Gentlemen's Struggle" is popular on high-rise buildings.

If a gentleman has nothing to fight for, he will definitely shoot it. He bows his head to the water and drinks it. This is how a gentleman fights.

Archery became their new way of comparison, first it was still life, then it was animals, and then it was living targets like wine bottles.

The jug is thrown into the air, and both of them shoot arrows at the same time. Whoever shoots more arrows wins.

At first, everyone was a little hesitant, but gradually some people learned it and began to participate in such activities.

But since the Baixi Tower is at the junction of the east and west of the city, it is naturally impossible to throw the wine bottle to the east of the city, just like today, it was thrown to the west of the city.

After that, people in the west of the city had no peace anymore, and there was often the sound of falling wine bottles in the middle of the night.

The "bang bang bang" explosion kept many people awake at night.

After hearing this story, Li Yunxing frowned slightly.

Isn't this just because the people in the west of the city are all poor and they are not afraid of suing the officials, so they act like this?

The lame man continued, "My mother is mentally ill. She was so frightened by them that she couldn't calm down every day. So I went to Baixi Tower to seek an explanation from them."

"Unexpectedly, not only did they show no intention of repenting, they also laughed at me as a lowly untouchable."
