Just when Wu Yuanshuang kicked the old man again, Li Qinzai suddenly shouted loudly.
"stop!"
Wu Yuanshuang's feet stagnated and he almost tripped over himself. When he turned around, he saw that it was Li Qinzai who stopped him. Wu Yuanshuang couldn't help but be shocked.
"Are you... talking about me?" Wu Yuanshuang asked in shock.
Li Qinzai slowly walked up to Wu Yuanshuang and said, "Yes, I'm talking about you. If you abuse an old man in the street, is Wu Shaojian not afraid of being impeached by the imperial censor?"
Wu Yuanshuang glanced at the old man with a sinister look and said in a vicious voice: "This dog slave hit me for no reason. I just taught him a few lessons. What's wrong with him?"
Li Qinzai said coldly: "The old man has already apologized to you. Killing people is just a nod. Isn't it too much for Wu Shaojian to retaliate like this?"
Wu Yuanshuang narrowed his eyes: "Young Master Li is teaching me a lesson?"
Li Qinzai smiled: "It's just the law of nature. If you violate the law of nature, then just think that I am teaching you a lesson."
Wu Yuanshuang said in a sinister tone: "Li Qinzai, you are too lenient."
Li Qinzai said without any sign of weakness: "Wu Yuanshuang, you have gone too far."
"I'll beat this bitch slave as soon as I can, how do you treat me?"
Li Qinzai glanced at the old man and saw that the old man was squatting on the ground covering his lame leg without saying a word. Li Qinzai sighed and said: "Let's just let it go, Wu Yuanshuang, there will be retribution for being too arrogant."
Wu Yuanshuang was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "You actually said that I was too arrogant? What were you like before, weren't you more arrogant than me? Haha, I'm laughing to death!"
Li Qinzai ignored him, bent down to help the old man up, and took out a handful of copper coins from his arms and gave it to him.
The old man hurriedly shook his head and refused: "I don't dare to accept money from noble people. It would be embarrassing for me."
Li Qinzai sighed and said, "Take it and ask a doctor to look at the injury. When you come to Chang'an in the future, if you see such luxuriously dressed but indifferent guys, remember to stay away."
The old man still shook his head and refused Li Qinzai's money. He stood up, staggered, and limped forward. As he walked, he murmured: "Back then, I followed the late Emperor Taizong in the north and south. How could I have expected that I would end up like this now?"
Now that we have beaten them down, it’s time for me to stay away, Datang... ugh!"
Li Qinzai was startled by his low muttering to himself, and he hurriedly stepped forward to stop the old man.
"The old man was once a soldier of the Tang Dynasty?"
The old man sighed sadly: "Yes, I joined the army in the second year of Zhenguan. I followed General Li Jing to fight against the Turks, and followed Emperor Taizong to fight against Goguryeo. My leg was destroyed during the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo to attack Baiyan City.
He was injured by the stone and has been lame ever since."
The old man's tone was very calm, but one could hear his sadness.
Li Qinzai's anger suddenly rushed to his forehead.
In the Neijiaofang, Li Qinzai was not angry when Wu Yuanshuang cursed him and Li Ji. But now, when Li Qinzai found out that the old man was actually a veteran who had fought many battles for the rest of his life, he could not control his anger no matter what.
From his past life to this life, Li Qinzai always respected soldiers very much. This is the most basic moral principle for being a human being.
For no other reason, ordinary people's peaceful years are the result of the bloody battles of the soldiers. Whether the powerful or the common people are enjoying peace and quiet, as long as their conscience has not been eaten by dogs, they should at least remember the sacrifices of the soldiers.
Li Qinzai can endure it because he is an adult and will not be as impulsive as a hot-blooded boy regardless of the consequences.
But being able to endure does not mean that he has no bloody nature. His bloody nature will only be stimulated when it should be shown.
Veterans of hundreds of battles did not die on the battlefield, but were bullied and humiliated by the powerful. If you can tolerate such injustice, you really are not called a man.
Turning around slowly, Li Qinzai's face was ashen and his eyes were like daggers.
"Wu Yuanshuang!" Li Qinzai stared at him with red eyes.
Wu Yuanshuang was startled by Li Qinzai's appearance and didn't understand why his expression suddenly changed.
"What?"
Li Qinzai pointed at the veteran and said coldly: "Kowtow to this veteran to apologize, and let's forget about today's matter."
Wu Yuanshuang was surprised and said: "You are crazy!"
"Kowtow to the veteran and apologize!" Li Qinzai repeated again, with murderous intent in his tone.
Wu Yuanshuang sneered: "Li, if you want to quarrel, then do it. Don't make excuses. Can a dog-like old thing stand up to my kneeling?" spanstyle>谷/spanstyle>
Li Qinzai stared at him steadily and suddenly smiled.
While showing a smile, his body rushed out like a bullet, stepped in front of Wu Yuanshuang in two steps, punched Wu Yuanshuang's cheek without warning, and kicked him on the knee at the same time.
Li Qinzai suddenly attacked, Wu Yuanshuang was caught off guard and received a punch, and his knees were kicked so hard that he knelt on the ground involuntarily. After reacting, he stood up immediately.
"What a good man, if you dare to insult me, you will never be able to do anything good today!" Wu Yuanshuang was furious and fought back.
The situation outside the Neijiaofang suddenly changed. After Xue Ne and Gao Qi were shocked, they suddenly felt refreshed and happy. Xue Ne clapped his hands vigorously and shouted: "Brother Jingchu, well done! This is how a man should behave!"
The followers behind Wu Yuanshuang also reacted and came forward to help with angrily curses.
Xue Ne suddenly swept his legs, knocking down the two followers who were rushing in front. He stepped on a certain follower's face, raised his arm and pointed at the other followers and shouted angrily: "Whoever dares to step forward, don't blame me."
Your Grandpa Xue killed people and spattered blood on the streets of Chang'an today!"
Gao Qi used to be a well-known dandy in Chang'an, and he was no less badass than Li Qinzai. This situation was too familiar to him.
So Gao Qi also pulled down the flags outside the gate of Neijiaofang, tore off the flag cloth and left the flagpole. He pointed at the followers and shouted: "If you have the guts to come over and die, let's see how many people your grandpa Gao dares to kill today."
What a bastard!"
The followers stagnated and saw that Xue Na and Gao Qi had murderous looks on their faces, which did not seem to be threatening. The followers hesitated and did not dare to step forward to help Wu Yuanshuang. Instead, they stood on the spot and jumped and cursed.
Xue Ne and Gao Qi were not to be outdone, and started to scold each other.
On the other side, Li Qinzai and Wu Yuanshuang were fighting each other to a fever pitch.
Wu Yuanshuang was beaten badly, and Li Qinzai was not much better. When two adults fight, they basically hurt each other. Neither of them is an expert. You punch me and I kick you. Who wins depends on who can bear it better.
beat.
After fighting for a long time with fists and kicks, Li Qinzai saw the right moment and suddenly grabbed Wu Yuanshuang's waist, tripped under his feet, and threw Wu Yuanshuang to the ground.
The posture is not graceful, but rather awkward. It is a typical fighting move of a street gangster.
There is no way, Li Qinzai only knows this.
Wu Yuanshuang screamed in pain after falling, but Li Qinzai was already riding on him. After taking the initiative, he hooked left and right, beating Wu Yuanshuang until he screamed in agony.
Li Qinzai strangled his neck with one hand and said in a vicious voice: "I will say it for the third and last time, kowtow to the veteran and apologize. Otherwise, I, Li Qinzai, don't mind killing people in the street. At worst, I will live in Lingnan. I will wait for the news to subside in three to five years."
He was pardoned and returned to Chang'an."
Wu Yuanshuang was beaten so hard that he couldn't even open his eyes. Perhaps Li Qinzai's red eyes and murderous look on his face frightened him at this moment. Wu Yuanshuang's face was swollen and he said loudly: "Apologise! I apologize, don't beat me!"
Li Qinzai let go of him, pulled him up from the ground, held the back of his neck with one hand, and lifted him up to the veteran.
Kicking him on the knee, Li Qinzai said coldly: "Kneel down and apologize!"
Wu Yuanshuang was forcibly pressed on the head by Li Qinzai, and his forehead was heavily knocked to the ground.
"Old... old man, it's my fault. I shouldn't have bullied you for no reason. I apologize, please forgive me!" Wu Yuanshuang said loudly without caring about his face.
The veteran was frightened by this scene and said at a loss: "How can this happen? It is a shame to be old and old, noble man, please get up quickly."
Li Qinzai said coldly: "Don't be afraid, old man. You have lived and died for the country of Tang Dynasty. How can such an unfaithful and unjust beast be able to bully you? You can live with peace of mind. I will take care of your grudges."
Letting go of Wu Yuanshuang, Li Qinzai smiled sinisterly at him: "The enmity between you and me has been forged, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to resolve it. If you have any tricks, just come over and I will take over."
Wu Yuanshuang was beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. He wanted to sneer, but the wound on his cheek was painful.
"Okay, okay. Wu Yuanshuang will definitely repay today's generous gift during his lifetime."
After saying that, Wu Yuanshuang stumbled away, quickly jumped into his carriage and drove away.
The protagonists have all run away, and of course the followers will not stay anymore, and they will disperse in a hurry.
It wasn't until Wu Yuanshuang's carriage was far away that Li Qinzai staggered and sat down on the ground.
"Brother Jingchu, are you okay?" Xue Ne stepped forward and asked with concern.
Li Qinzai said coldly: "Do you look at me like I'm fine?"
Xue Ne smiled and said: "Today I have seen the bloody nature of brother Jingchu. I still don't know why brother Jingchu suddenly decided to attack Wu Yuanshuang."
Li Qinzai pointed at the veteran and said: "You and I were born as generals. How can we be indifferent when we see veterans of hundreds of battles being bullied? That's what real men do and don't do."
