Under the silent night sky, Qin Wenyuan's "ghost steps" unfolded, but his clear figure was nowhere to be seen in the originally dark street. All he could see were the afterimages shaking like ghosts in the night.
Seeing this, Xue Rengui quickly waved the long sword in his hand and made a circle of sword energy to protect his whole body. At this time, the guy had the intention to retreat. While dancing the long sword, he moved in the direction of "Xingdaofang". As long as he could enter "Xingdaofang"
"You can use the power of Marquis Wu of Chang'an City to get rid of the entanglement of these three people.
Qin Wenyuan slapped the sword energy several times in succession. The cold and hot energy had already invaded Xue Rengui's chest and abdomen. After a mouthful of blood spurted out, the man quickly took out a pill from his arms and put it into his mouth. His body staggered loudly.
Call out.
"Come here, come here! There are gangsters causing trouble in Chang'an City."
In an instant, there were the sounds of dozens of people running towards him. Qin Wenyuan hated that this guy used Chang Sun Chong to bully his brother. Today, he originally wanted to catch this guy and destroy his martial arts, but he didn't expect that this guy's martial arts was so good.
Gao Qiang, but at this time, regardless of the warrior's face, he shouted for help, so he opened the crossbow on his arm and fired an arrow.
After hearing a scream, Qin Wenyuan quickly ordered Luo Shiyi and Yuchi Baolin to disappear into the darkness with him, and the three of them quickly left the place along the surrounding houses.
Not long after Qin Wenyuan and the others left this place, a dozen Wuhou came to this place. They looked at a big man in the darkness who was holding his sword on the ground to steady himself. The Wuhou carefully gathered around him and were about to ask the big man about his identity. Xue Rengui said with difficulty.
"This is Xue Rengui, the guerrilla general under the command of the King of Hejian. Brothers, can you send Xue to the residence of Princess Tong'an? Xue will definitely thank you..."
When several Wuhou heard what Xue Rengui said, they lit the torches in their hands. Some Wuhou, who had already known Xue Rengui's face, couldn't help but exclaimed.
"General, what's going on? Did you see the attacker clearly?"
Several Wuhou said as they stepped forward to help Xue Rengui up.
Xue Rengui inserted the long sword into the scabbard, gritted his teeth and looked at the slender concealed weapon with only the crossbow arrow tail on his left arm and said with hatred.
"Xue only saw three people attacking him, but he didn't know their identities. Knowing this, the revenge for Xue's injury today will be doubled in the future."
If the crossbow arrow fired by Qin Wenyuan wasn't for this guy's superb martial arts skills, he was still extremely calm after being injured. At the critical moment, he used his last strength to use his sword to deflect the crossbow arrow that hit his chest and abdomen, and then tried his best to block the arrow with his left arm, thus protecting his vitals.
Otherwise, it would be hard to tell whether this guy is dead or alive.
…
Qin Wenyuan and others evacuated to the residence of "Duke Xian Guo" where Luo Shiyi lived. This was the residence given by Li Yuan when Luo Shixin was awarded the title of "Duke Xian Guo". After Luo Shixin died for the Tang Dynasty, this residence was occupied by his only brother Luo Shiyi
Inheritance, very few people usually come here.
In a short time, Cheng Chumo and Fang Yiai arrived quietly. Qin Wen saw the brothers gathered together and laughed in a low voice.
"This time, the young man gave the eldest grandson and the boy named Xue a hard lesson. That ends here. You all go back and say goodbye to your families. When the gate of Chang'an opens tomorrow, we will leave Chang'an for Yunzhou. In this way, brother
See you at the gate of Chang'an tomorrow."
Having said that, Qin Wenyuan first left the residence of "Dong Guo", and the other boys gathered together for a while before leaving one after another.
There was no movement at night. Before dawn, several young masters came to the north gate of Chang'an City, neatly dressed and escorted by their families. After meeting each other, they gave instructions again. When the city gate opened, there were already people stationed in the city. Hundreds of guards of the Qin Mansion in the "Qinjia Village" outside, led by the guard leader Zhou Cang, met their master and the young generals.
Qin Wenyuan mounted his horse and scanned the guards. When the brothers accompanying him had finished saying goodbye to their families, he pointed his "Fangtian Painted Halberd" forward and said loudly.
"Set off!"
When he left, all the brothers were like dragons entering the sea, and like eagles soaring in the sky. They were full of ambitions and vowed to fight for his reputation before and after him.
Just when Qin Wenyuan led his brothers to leave Chang'an City and entered the territory of Yongzhou more than two hours ago, Changsun Wuji knelt down in the Taiji Hall of the imperial palace and cried loudly to His Highness Jinluan.
"Your Majesty! There are rampant thieves in Chang'an City. Weichen's eldest son, Changsun Chong, was attacked by gangsters last night. Although his life was safe, he was seriously injured. I think this must be the work of thieves who are dissatisfied with Weichen's family. Please make the decision for Weichen. ah……!"
As soon as the words of the eldest son Sun Wuji in the main hall fell, the eldest princess of Tong'an and her husband Wang Yu had already come to the palace. After meeting Li Shimin and being granted a seat by the emperor, the eldest princess said sharply.
"Your Majesty! Xue Rengui, Xue Rengui's disciple in my residence, was attacked last night. I think Xie Hong was a meritorious minister who followed the Supreme Emperor. Although Xie Hong died at the hands of Qin Wenyuan in Chang'an City, Xue Rengui was injured in the attack, but I can't. No matter what, please see the emperor that Xie Hong has protected my concubine for many years and has made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty, so he orders a thorough investigation of this matter and the gangsters will be captured and executed."
After hearing what the eldest princess said, Li Shimin was a little surprised. How could the son of the eldest son Wuji's family be attacked at the same time as Xie Hong's disciple Xie Hong, who was sheltered in the eldest princess's mansion? This is somewhat interesting. He must be named Xue Rengui. He must be familiar with Changsun Chong. Could it be that the old man Cheng Yaojin ordered someone to do it?
Li Shimin thought this way, and after a while he sent an order to the governor of Jingzhao Yin Mansion to come to the palace to ask questions.
Ma Zhou, a civil servant who had just taken over Jingzhao Yin, received the emperor's order and hurried from the "Wende Square" Jingzhao Yin Yamen to the palace. This low-level Confucian scholar, who was admired by Li Shimin for writing about the current affairs of the Tang Dynasty, finally achieved the third rank through hard work. of the imperial court.
Ma Zhou entered the palace and knelt down under the golden luan and spoke loudly.
"The humble minister Ma Zhou has entered the palace according to the order. What orders does the emperor's minister have when he comes?"
"Ma Zhou! Do you know that there were attacks and killings in two places in Chang'an City last night?"
"Your Majesty, Wei Chen has heard a little bit about what happened in Chang'an City last night this morning. He has sent a police officer to go to the place where the incident happened to look for clues. The specific situation is not yet known to Wei Chen. We will wait until Wei Chen understands. Please report to the Emperor clearly."
After hearing Ma Zhou's answer, Li Shimin thought for a moment before speaking.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Ma Zhou! I ask you to quickly find out who did this, and give an explanation to the eldest grandson family and the eldest princess of Tong'an."
"Wei ministers obey the order! We will summon all the officials in the Yamen to arrest the heads. Wuhou and others under Jin Wuwei will go around Chang'an City to look for clues and catch the murderer."
After saying that, Ma Zhou resigned and left the main hall. After leaving the palace, he quickly returned to the Yamen and began to arrange the investigation work.
After Ma Zhou retreated, Li Shimin glanced at the ministers who were silent about this matter in the main hall, and said calmly to Changsun Wuji and Princess Tong'an.
"Chief Sun Qing's family and the eldest princess should stay calm and wait until Jing Zhaoyin finds out about this matter."
After saying that, Li Shimin did not mention the matter again. He was very disgusted with the way that the eldest princess of Tong'an always made things against the late emperor. If he hadn't thought that these old ladies were his elders, in order to set an example of filial etiquette in front of the ministers, he would probably have
He had long since driven these disrespectful royal relatives out of the hall.
After feeling unhappy for a while, Li Shimin seemed to have remembered something and said to Qin Qiong.
"Qin Qiong! The boys in your family have left Chang'an City with Qin Wenyuan. Come and listen to me."
Cheng Yaojin, Fang Xuanling, and Yuchi Jingde heard the emperor mention this matter, and they immediately bowed and replied in unison.
"Going back to the Emperor, the boys in my family gathered at the city gate before dawn. They have already embarked on a journey with Qin Wenyuan. I would like to thank the Emperor for your concern."
"Well! I'm very happy that the sons of the ministers can make great achievements with that boy Qin Wenyuan. There are no such naughty boys in Chang'an City. You should worry about it later. This person needs to go out and practice more.
, Relying on the merits of your fathers all day long will not achieve anything great, very good, very good!"
While Li Shimin was chatting with Cheng Yaojin and others, unexpectedly, the princess Tong An said something that made several ministers very angry.
"Hmph! I'm afraid what happened last night has something to do with these thieves. Otherwise, why would you have left the city in such a hurry so early in the morning?"
"Who is the eldest princess calling a thief? I, Cheng Jing, are you a princess, but you don't allow others to pour dirty water on my son. Then eldest Sun Chong and Xue Hegui were attacked by someone. It's about the boys of my old Cheng family.
What are you waiting for, brother..."
"Old man Cheng! Why are you talking to the eldest princess? There must be some truth to what the princess said. Is it possible that you, an old man, have a guilty conscience?"
"Fuck you! What do you think I'm guilty of? Since ancient times: catching thieves and catching stolen goods, and cheating and cheating, you can use this evidence to prove that my boy is the one who committed the murder last night. I and my boy can do whatever they want, otherwise
, Hehe! You old man, don’t blame me for being rude to you."
As he spoke, Cheng Yaojin walked towards Wang Yuting, who had just scolded him, with eyes wide open.
Seeing Cheng Yaojin striding towards him, his posture and expression were very eye-catching, Wang Yuting felt guilty and retreated to Wang Yu, the old head of the Wang family, and the eldest princess of Tong'an, and spoke angrily and loudly.
"Cheng Yaojin! What are you going to do, an old man like you?"
Following Wang Yuting's voice, the eldest princess of Tong'an started scolding her harshly.
"How presumptuous! What qualifications do you, an old man, have to talk to me like this? It doesn't matter if I say a few words to your boy. Your boy humiliated my son outside Chang'an City, but I haven't settled the score with him yet.
.”
Cheng Yaojin was originally the master of the world, but how could he be so angry that he was so angry that his eyebrows were raised and he was furious.
"Wang Yuting! Others are afraid that you, the Wang family, are powerful. I, Old Cheng, don't care about your Wang family. What qualifications does the eldest princess say I have? Then what qualifications do you have as a princess to boss around in the palace? Since ancient times, women are not allowed to enter the court.
, you are not allowed to interfere in the government affairs, but you use your status to say some unfounded words to slander my boy, and you still want to settle accounts with my boy, I am just waiting for you."

Being despised by Cheng Yaojin, Princess Tong'an was so angry that she didn't know what to say. She looked at Li Shimin with a gloomy face. She hoped that the emperor would punish this old man who had no respect for himself.
Li Jing, Qin Shiji, Qin Qiong and others were afraid that Cheng Yaojin would lose his temper in front of the palace and fight with Wang Yuting because of his anger, so they stepped forward and pulled Cheng Yaojin back to where the ministers were standing and whispered.
"How old are you? Why are you still as reckless as before?"
At this time, there was a loud "crash" sound in the palace, but it was Li Shimin who slapped his palm on the Eucalyptus galliana in anger.
"Cheng Yaojin! You have committed a crime again, haven't you? It doesn't matter what the eldest princess said to your boy. If you do this, I will punish you to go home and reflect, and if you don't get out of the hall."
After saying this, Li Shimin took the opportunity to stand up and said angrily.
"Retreat!"
When all the ministers saw that the emperor was angry, they all knelt down and His Highness Jinluan did not dare to say anything. They stood up after the emperor retreated into the inner palace. Fang Xuanling and other civil servants looked at Cheng Yaojin and shook their heads. That means you, old man
, why bother!
Qin Qiong and other generals surrounded Cheng Yaojin and went down to the palace. Yuchi Jingde squinted at Princess Tong'an and snorted provocatively. Then the old woman who didn't take the ministers seriously turned her eyes white with anger.
He was about to faint and fall to the ground.
The eunuch on the side saw the princess's body swaying from side to side on the brocade stool. He was afraid that the girl would faint and cause trouble to everyone, so he hurriedly called the imperial doctor and stepped forward to support the princess.
Wang Yu stood up and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"Your Majesty is dissatisfied with us and other aristocratic families...!"
Qin Wenyuan led his brothers to eat and sleep in the open air. Unexpectedly, there was a dispute in the court over the happy things they had done. A team of hundreds of people galloped along the official road and arrived at the border of Jinzhou in less than two days.
Seeing that all the brothers and the horses were a little tired when they arrived at the gate of Jinzhou City, Qin Wenyuan ordered them to rest temporarily in Jinzhou City.
After showing the customs clearance token from the Ministry of War of the Tang Dynasty to the city gate defenders, Qin Wenyuan led his troops to the Jinzhou government office under the watchful eyes of the city gate defenders. After paying homage to the governor of Jinzhou, hundreds of guards were able to move into the military camp to replenish food and rest.
.
After arranging for the guards to take a short rest, Qin Wenyuan took Murphy, Cheng Chumo, Qin Huaiyu, Yuchi Baolin, Fang Yiai and Luo Shiyi to the streets of Jinzhou and wandered around looking for a restaurant to have a good meal and drink.
Along the way, I checked the local customs, chatted and laughed, and when I arrived outside a restaurant that seemed to have some reputation, I saw many diners in the restaurant running out in fear, followed by the restaurant owner and waiter shouting loudly.
"Dear guests, you haven't even paid for food and drinks yet!"
All the guests who rushed out of the restaurant stopped outside the restaurant, looking at the excitement and looking inside the restaurant. Fortunately, these guests were all responsible people. Everyone took out their loose silver and handed it to the shopkeeper and the waiter.
The waiter bowed and thanked him endlessly.
Seeing this scene, Qin Wenyuan and others were very surprised. They wanted to enter the restaurant to see what was going on, but unexpectedly the shopkeeper stopped Xu Tian and others and said.
"Wait a minute, gentlemen. There are two weirdos in the villain's restaurant who have just kicked out all the diners in the restaurant. If you don't listen to the instructions, the two weirdos will beat you up. Gentlemen, please find another restaurant."
Hearing what the shopkeeper said, Qin Wenyuan felt even more strange. There was no reason for a restaurant to chase away customers. To satisfy his curiosity, he said to the shopkeeper.
"It's okay. I want to go in and take a look. If there is any danger, the shopkeeper has nothing to do with it. The shopkeeper can arrange some food and drinks."
After saying that, Qin Wenyuan took the lead and entered the restaurant, but saw a monk in the restaurant fighting with each other. When the two saw Qin Wenyuan and others entering the restaurant, the monk shouted loudly.
"Donor, please go somewhere else to dine!"
"Master, why is this happening? What does it have to do with Master when we go to a restaurant and have our own meals? When did monks become so domineering?"
"What the little brother said is true. This old bald donkey is indeed a bit overbearing. He just wants to be a piece of shit, but he insists on chasing the Taoist here. Not to mention spoiling the Taoist's interest in drinking, he still doesn't allow it.
