Cheng Chubi subconsciously turned his head to look over and saw the far corner.
There seemed to be something similar to a big dog squirming in the place that resembled a dog hole.
"Be careful and approach slowly." Cheng Chubi immediately cheered up.
It was only a dozen steps away from here, but in such a gloomy night, no one could be sure whether it was a human or a dog.
As Cheng Chubi and the others moved slowly, the movement caused caused the things that were originally squirming in the dog hole to suddenly freeze.
Then, Cheng Chubi and others heard two barks like little puppies.
"It turned out to be a dog. It's okay. Let's move on." Cheng Chubi breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the mace, and continued moving forward.
He had just taken two steps when he heard Li Mingda's uncertain low voice calling, "Is it Brother Ninth?"
"Mingda?" The little puppy that had just barked suddenly spat out human words.
"???" Cheng Chubi's master and servant all turned their heads in confusion, and then they saw a little boy and stood up carefully.
"It's me, Ninth Brother, I'm here." Although Li Mingda was very excited, he remembered that he couldn't express his confession loudly at this time.
"Brother Ninth..." Cheng Chubi clicked his tongue and looked at the prince who finally came over. He was as witty as a dog, oh oh... he was a prince who knew how to grow up smartly.
Li Mingda, with a face full of joy, did not forget to introduce the two to each other: "Brother Jiu, he is the third brother Cheng who treated my mother.
He is my ninth brother, Li Zhi. Ninth brother, why are you hiding here alone?"
It's okay if I don't mention it, but Li Zhi's eyes immediately turn red when he mentions it.
"The guards, maids, and eunuchs are all dead. I was thrown out of the back window by them. They told me to escape quickly."
"I didn't know where to run. There were people carrying knives everywhere. Then I found this..."
Cheng Chubi looked at the little young lady with young teeth and felt quite sad. He did not expect that the future Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty would also have a dark history of drilling into dog holes to learn how to bark at dogs.
It's a pity that I came in a hurry this time to treat Empress Changsun and didn't bring her diary.
You must record this incident when you go back. When you get older, it will be good for you to enjoy yourself.

Then he wanted to see where he could hide nearby, and saw a Youxiao guard soldier walking towards him with a blood-stained sword.
When he saw Cheng Chubi and the others, he was slightly startled, but without hesitation he raised his knife and stabbed Cheng Chubi who was closest to him.
A childish, frightened scream came from behind Cheng Chubi, harsh and sharp.
Without thinking, Cheng Chubi raised the mace in his right hand, and with his extraordinary strength, he smashed the opponent's sword that had hit his breastplate with its tip.
The steel mace in his left hand was swung down hard, directly smashing the opponent's shoulder armor and chest armor, causing a huge gap.
Looking at the Youxiao guard who fell to the ground and was twitching, Cheng Chu Bihao turned around and left without hesitation.
Because Li Zhi's scream had already alerted many enemies lurking in the dark, and they were gathering here.
Fortunately, in the dark night, the moonlight was obscured by clouds at some point, and Cheng Chubi led two loyal servants who were carrying the prince and princess on their backs.
He left the scene of the incident without any danger, turned around quietly, looked for a new hiding place, and even picked up a helmet halfway and put it on his head.
The safety protection of the head has always been important. In the future, everyone must wear a safety helmet when riding a bicycle, not to mention that you are in the dark where someone could die at any time.
After going around and around, I finally found a hiding place. With the shelter of the rockery, big trees and some shrubs, it became a natural shelter.
The important thing is that the view here is wide, and it is easy to detect if anyone is approaching.
Time is so long, just like this night, time has become a broken car being dragged by an old cow. It creaks and creaks for a long time and cannot move a step.
"Sister, will we be like them..."
Li Zhi looked through the gaps in the leaves and saw the body lying on the ground not far away, his voice full of fear.
Li Mingda, who injured his ankle but did not say a word of pain, turned his head and looked at his half-brother, who was less than two years older than him.
He comforted in a low voice. "Brother Ninth, don't worry, we are safe under the protection of Brother Cheng San..."
"Don't worry, Your Highnesses, so much time has passed. The sound of fighting outside is getting smaller and smaller, which means that all the bad guys are almost dead."
"Soon, we will be safe."
"Really?" Li Zhi looked at Cheng Chubi and asked uncertainly.
Cheng Chubi looked at His Highness, whose temperament was not as strong as the girl's, and said matter-of-factly, "Of course."
"Sir, someone is coming..."
In an instant, Li Zhi's little face turned pale, and he looked at Cheng Chubi in front of him with a faint look.
"..." Cheng Chubi's face immediately darkened. Damn it! I wish I could slap myself in the face. Setting up a flag randomly for nothing is simply a way to die.
"Don't be afraid, you two, and don't talk." Cheng Chubi could only barely show a smile and ordered the two children.
Li Mingda raised his hands very obediently and covered his mouth, blinking with a pair of talking eyes.
Li Zhi next to him was confused for a long time, and then he helplessly imitated his sister and covered his mouth.
Cheng Chubi smacked his mouth. Apparently, it was not unreasonable for Uncle Li to dote on his daughter.
Turning his head, Cheng Chubi noticed two Youxiao guardsmen.
Supporting the injured Pao Ze, there was another person in front of him, holding a knife and looking around cautiously.
They are escaping hastily towards this side, and it seems that their target is also this natural hiding place.
After Cheng Chubi glanced at Cheng Guang and Cheng Liang, he picked up his mace and lunged out to stand.
"Go away! This is my territory."
"???" The four Right Xiao Guardsmen were startled, and the Zuo Xiao Guardsman at the front raised his sword directly at Cheng Chubi.
"Who are you?"
At this moment, Cheng Guang emerged from the haystack, drawing his bow and setting an arrow.
"...Who are you?" At this moment, the soldier who had just wanted to violently hurt someone's face darkened, and he couldn't help but take a step back.
"Don't ask me who I am. Even if you tell me, you don't know." Cheng Chubi pointed impatiently in a direction. "There is a bush over there. I want to hide there."
"...How about we go?" the injured soldier in the middle said unhappily.
Cheng Chubi chuckled and raised his hand. Not far away, Cheng Liang also emerged from the bushes, also with his bow and arrow ready.
At this moment, the four Youxiao guards looked at each other, knowing that there was an extra person on their side.
There was no guarantee that the other party had any unexposed trump cards, so soon they just viciously said, "Wait for it."
He stopped talking nonsense and hurried away in another direction. He did not go to the place pointed by Cheng Chubi. It seemed that the other party was also an experienced driver and was very defensive.
Then he let go of the hand covering his mouth and nose. After taking a few breaths, Li Zhi couldn't help but asked curiously, "Brother Cheng, why don't you help take them in?"
Before Cheng Chubi could answer, Li Mingda gave an answer that made Cheng Chubi's eyes light up.
"Because Brother Cheng San doesn't know whether they are bad guys or good guys."
This little girl is very broad, and her IQ is much better than that of her brother.
"Your Highness is indeed wise, intelligent and quick-thinking. I really admire him."
Cheng Chubi couldn't help but give Li Mingda a thumbs up and praise him.
Li Mingda shook his head happily, and then quickly reached out to cover his mouth.
But those bright eyes that curved into a fountain of teeth looked like stars.

"Quickly, look for me again." The Supreme Emperor Li Yuan had already arrived at the row of cloud halls in person.
Dozens of elites were surrounding him, and more and more elites were entering the Paiyun Palace, carefully searching every corner.
In every room, from time to time, there will always be brief and fierce sounds of fighting, which will soon be extinguished again.
Li Yuan looked around with a livid face. He had found three princes and princesses before, but the whereabouts of his beloved Si Zi were still unknown.
"Your Majesty, you'd better get out. It's really dangerous here. I'll just search for your highnesses here."
"Shut up, I'm not going anywhere. If you want to make me feel at ease, then quickly wipe out the remaining enemies inside and find my princes and grandsons."
