The position of lieutenant can be regarded as a moderate official position in this place.
If not, he wouldn't dare to wander around with more than a hundred cavalry.
He is also used to being domineering in this world, and it is common for him to blackmail a business travel group or something like that.
But he really didn't expect that one day he would get such an 'honor' as offending the prince.
Seeing his appearance, Li Chengqian raised his head and said, "For you to wear this armor of the Tang Dynasty, you are really worthy of the title of a soldier of the Tang Dynasty."
After finishing speaking, he directly ordered Chai Jing behind him: "Go and take off his armor."
Chai Jing really didn't tolerate him, so he strode forward and stripped off the armor from the captain's body.
Having his armor removed in front of so many people was more than just a slap in the face.
This is almost the same as surrendering to the enemy in front of the two armies. It is a complete humiliation for him.
As the saying goes, a scholar can be killed but not humiliated, so you can imagine what the captain's face looked like.
But he also knew that Li Chengqian's punishment was already considered lenient.
After all, his sin of speaking nonsense in front of the King of Qin was very serious.
Even if Li Chengqian stabbed him directly, no one would say a word for him.
Because of this, the captain didn't dare to say a word. He just knelt there tremblingly, waiting for Li Chengqian's further decision.
But seeing that the guy who usually bullied men and women and looked so majestic in front of the people didn't even dare to fart, Chai Jing felt so relieved.
He looked back at Li Chengqian, looking forward to what Li Chengqian would do next.
But Li Chengqian did something that surprised everyone.
He just said lightly: "Take your people and go back to your camp."
"But if there is a next time, it won't be as simple as stripping off your armor..."
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the carriage. > Seeing this scene, Chai Jing was stunned, and Li Tingxue was also stunned.
According to the development of the plot, at least this guy has to be removed from his official position, right?
Why did you let him go like this?
Compared to their confusion, the captain felt relieved and kowtowed to Li Chengqian's back: "Thank you, Your Highness..."
After finishing speaking, he, who was only wearing his middle coat, quickly got on his horse, then galloped back to the crowd, and left quickly with a group of more than a hundred knights.
Because of the captain's appearance, the team only stagnated for less than a quarter of an hour.
Not long after, the team continued to move towards the county seat of Jingyang County...
…
Inside the carriage.
Chai Jing looked at Li Chengqian and hesitated several times.
Seeing this, Li Chengqian chuckled: "You want to ask, why did I let the captain go so easily?"
"yes……"
Chai Jing was honest, and spoke frankly to Li Chengqian: "It is a grave crime for that guy to lead troops to stop His Highness's motorcade."
"What's more, he dares to make irresponsible remarks in front of His Highness, and even wants to draw a sword against His Highness."
"These two things, taken together, no matter which one, can condemn him to death."
"Even if Your Highness doesn't execute him, he should be suspended from his position as captain."
"But His Highness didn't do anything, he just took off his armor..."
Seeing his appearance, Li Chengqian chuckled again.
It's just that there is a bit of bitterness in this smile.
Li Chengqian pointed at himself and said, "Who am I?"
Upon hearing this, Chai Jing was stunned: "Qin... King Qin..."
Li Chengqian spoke again: "Who is the King of Qin?"
Chai Jing said nothing, just looked at Li Chengqian blankly, his eyes
Full of confusion.
Li Chengqian sighed softly and said: "King of Qin is just a title, just like the patriarchs of those families."
"The only place where I can show off my power is the one-third of an acre in Chang'an City."
Li Chengqian looked at Chai Jing, grinned again and said: "After leaving Chang'an City, I am nothing, just a young man with the title of King of Qin." ??
What he said is also true.
From beginning to end, Li Shimin did not give him any actual rights.
It was only during the Third Conquest of the Northeast that he was made the commander-in-chief.
The reason why those officials respected him, were afraid of him, and gave way to him was simply because he was Li Shimin's son.
If this relationship is thrown away, what is he?
As he said himself, he is nothing.
And this is Henan Road, not Chang'an City.
No matter how influential the imperial power was, it could only make those people respect him as the King of Qin.
Secretly, I don’t know what kind of ugly things these guys can say.
It is also because of these reasons that at certain times, he has to be high-profile and low-key at the same time.
Just like how he treated the captain, he could slap him in the face in front of everyone, but he couldn't remove him from office, or kill him directly.
Because he doesn't have that power.
"Now, do you regret it?"
Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows and looked at Chai Jing and said, "Maybe, I really don't have the means to help you clear up your grievances."
Hearing this, Chai Jing couldn't help but smile bitterly, lowered his head and said: "If His Highness can't help me, then I'm afraid no one in the world can help me redress my injustice."
He slowly raised his head, looked at Li Chengqian and said, "But I believe that His Highness is a man of his word. Since you promised me, I believe that you can do it."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian couldn't help but He threw his head back and laughed.
He turned to look out the window and murmured: "Maybe you have seen the wrong person, you can't tell..."
…
Because it is located in the Central Plains, it is almost impossible to encounter decent wars on weekdays.
Therefore, the county seat of Jingyang County is not as tall as ordinary border cities.
After arriving in Jingyang County, Li Chengqian was not in a hurry to enter the city. Instead, he led Zuo Yiwei around the city, found an open space with unique scenery on the outskirts, and camped on the spot.
Just when everyone in Zuo Yiwei was busy setting up camp.
Li Chengqian walked straight to Li Tingxue's carriage: "Sister, can you lend me someone?"
"What do you want people for?"
Li Tingxue raised her eyebrows and glanced at him: "Is it possible that you plan to lead people into the city and tie up the guy named Xia?"
"Do you think your brother is that stupid?"
Li Chengqian rolled his eyes and said, "Sister, don't worry about this matter. You just need to enjoy the scenery quietly here. After I finish dealing with the county magistrate, we will return to Beijing."
Hearing this, Li Tingxue raised her eyebrows, and then waved to call a man.
She pointed at the man and said: "This guy's name is Gai Zhe, and he happens to be in charge of number 50 people. How about leaving it to you?"
"Of course it couldn't be better."
Li Chengqian smiled like a little chrysanthemum. He only smiled at Gai Zhe and said, "Brother Gai, I will help you next."
"Your Highness, you're welcome."
Seeing Li Chengqian treat him with such courtesy, Gai Zhe was a little flattered.
He cupped his hands towards Li Chengqian and said, "Working for His Highness and the princess is what a villain should do. Whatever your Highness wants to do, just tell the villain."
After hearing this, Li Chengqian was not polite to him, but mysteriously called him to him and whispered a few words in his ear.
Although Gai Zhe looked puzzled, he did not hesitate. He called his brothers and walked towards Jingyang County...
