Chapter 246: Overbearing and unreasonable domineering
Daye went back to the room to get something and then came back out. There was silence in the entire lobby. Everyone watched Xu Zizhen and the other three people walk away. The innkeeper took the lead and refunded Xu Zizhen’s hotel money in full with a smile on his face. When he returned, no one dared to criticize his arrogant behavior, even the few martial arts guards who had suffered a loss were deflated.
Because they all clearly heard what Xu Zizhen said, Princess Yuping was his wife, and he was now going to kill Mou Diying, the son of Privy Councilor Mou Xianting and the fifth-rank left guard general of the court.
Xu Zizhen went out and rode away. No one noticed that when he was about to go out, his eyes glanced at a man in gray clothes in the corner seemingly inadvertently, and a sly smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and the gray man Not long after Xu Zizhen left, the man in clothes got up and followed him out, falling far behind Xu Zizhen and his entourage. There was only a spacious official road from Shunzhou to Xingqing Mansion, so even if Xu Zizhen was not seen, he would not be lost.
Zhuo Ya remained silent, but her face was very ugly, and the coldness in her eyes was even lower than the temperature in the air. Xu Zizhen ignored her and rode on by himself. No matter how stupid Daye was, he found that something was wrong with the atmosphere, so he could only feel depressed. He kept his head down and followed him, no one dared to provoke him.
Shunzhou is a subordinate county of Xingqing and is not far apart. When Xu Zizhen arrived outside Xingqing Mansion City, it happened to be the time for the city gate to close. The two heavy wooden doors slowly closed under the push of the hinges, making a creaking sound. With a creaking sound, Xu Zizhen knocked his foot on the horse's belly and jumped in before the door was closed.
Inside the gate was a group of soldiers on duty, holding large spears about ten feet long in their hands. Xingqing is the capital of Xixia, and the security has always been good. It almost never happened that someone broke into the city gate, but it happened today. Moreover, Xu Zizhen barged in very rudely and slapped the leading general on the head.
"Are you fucking blind? Didn't you see that I was coming in?"
Xu Zizhen's angry shout shocked everyone. In the minds of these city guards, nothing like this had ever happened at the gate of Xingqing Mansion. A civilian wearing white clothes dared to slap a sixth-grade military guard. General, and he was so aggressive that he took the lead.
The general didn't react for a moment. He covered the left side of his face and was stunned for a moment. Then he came back to his senses and angrily pulled out his sword. He just started to curse: "I'm going to kill you..." He didn't say anything. Quan, there was a sudden light in his hand, and only the handle of the hundred-refined stainless steel sword was left in his hand, and a long blade fell to the ground with a clang.
The soldiers guarding the city were immediately shocked and turned pale. They all raised their spears and surrounded Xu Zizhen, but they did not dare to make any follow-up actions because a cold long knife in Xu Zizhen's hand was steadily stopping at the general's throat.
The general finally panicked, cold sweat slowly dripping from his forehead: "You...you dare to attack and kill the officers and soldiers, aren't you afraid of destroying the nine tribes?"
Xu Zizhen sneered disdainfully: "Destroy the nine tribes, that's fine. My wife is Princess Yuping. Why don't you come and destroy one of them for me to see?"
Wow, everyone was shocked. This poor boy in common clothes was actually the consort, and he was also the consort of Princess Yuping who was the emperor's favorite. But soon some people came to their senses. It was not that Princess Yuping was going to marry the Privy Councilor Mou. Is he your lord's son? Why did another prince-in-law show up at this moment?
Just when everyone was looking at each other in confusion, Xu Zizhen suddenly sheathed his sword and said coldly: "I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. If you don't believe me, come with me to the palace to find the emperor now."
The general was not young, and had been serving in the city defense force for some years. He had always seen people and ghosts, but he really couldn't understand Xu Zizhen's behavior at all. If he had to say it was fake, he He has never seen anyone who has the courage to make such a joke at the gate of the capital. To be honest, he has never seen any prince-in-law who would wear such shabby clothes.
"This... the young general obeys the order, please consort," the general was already dizzy. After much thought, he decided to accompany Xu Zizhen to the palace. Regardless of whether the consort was true or not, he would naturally find out when he got to the palace, but now he still It's better not to offend him first. If he's fake, he'll have plenty of opportunities to torture him and get revenge, but if he's the real prince-in-law, he won't be able to bear the consequences and just walk away.
Xu Zizhen walked at the lead, with Daye and Zhuo Ya on his left and right. The general and two soldiers trailed half a horse behind and followed closely, heading towards the palace.
Daye came to Xingqing Mansion for the first time and seemed very curious, looking around to see what was new, while Zhuo Ya looked at Xu Zizhen coldly, her eyes full of disdain and contempt.
Xu Zizhen turned his head and glanced at her, but with the corner of his eye he glanced at the street corner behind him and said, "Why are you always staring at me?"
Zhuo Ya said coldly: "I've never seen someone as arrogant and unreasonable as you."
Xu Zizhen laughed heartily: "There are so many adjectives. It seems that I have studied a lot. Let me tell you, this is the way the world is. The more talkative you are, the more others will like to sit on your neck and shit. The more domineering and powerful you are, the more others will not." If I dare to offend you casually, you know what I am called a real man." After saying that, he turned around and glared at the general, who shrank his neck and did not dare to say a word, just pretending not to see him.
Zhuo Ya listened to his vulgar words and snorted loudly and turned her head away from looking at him. Xu Zizhen was laughing and joking on the surface, but secretly he was troubled in his heart. He had no choice but to offend this beautiful Tubo princess now, and he didn't know how to deal with it in the future. You've made a fool of yourself, but the tail behind you is still following you, so you still have to play your part.
Xu Zizhen walked first because he was familiar with the house. He had already been to Xingqing Mansion and remembered the location of the palace. He didn't even make a mistake about which door to go to find Li Luoyan. The general became more and more convinced that this was the real consort, and he followed Dare not make a sound behind my back.
The palace is no better than the city gate. The guards here are many times tighter. There is one post every five steps and one sentry every ten steps. Before Xu Zizhen could get close to the palace gate, several imperial soldiers in full armor had already shown their dazzling swords: "Whoever comes, if they don't stop, shoot them to death." ,"
Daye subconsciously stepped forward to block him, but Xu Zizhen brushed him away nonchalantly, rolled his eyes and said, "Who are you trying to scare? You should quickly inform me about Princess Yuping, and tell me that Xu Zizhen, the Prince Consort, is looking for her."
Several Imperial Guards were suddenly stunned and looked at each other. They all knew about the situation in the palace. How come they had never heard of Xu Zizhen, the consort? After a few words, one person was separated and quickly ran in to report, while the others still kept an eye on Xu Zizhen in case he was really fake.
After about half an hour, the imperial guards who went in to report finally came back. Behind him was an old eunuch who was already out of breath. Xu Zizhen recognized it at a glance. This was none other than Eunuch Li, the eunuch who served in Li Luoyan Palace. , it was he who arranged the work for him when he pretended to be a eunuch.
Xu Zizhen immediately greeted him with a smile: "Eunuch Li, how good it is that I haven't seen you for a long time."
Eunuch Li had a smile on his face, but he looked a little embarrassed. He walked out quickly without saying a word, pulled Xu Zizhen's sleeve to the side, and whispered: "Mr. Xu, why are you here?"
