Outside Cloth Village, a carriage was parked at an alleyway on the street.
At a certain moment, a young voice came from the carriage: "Why is there no movement inside?"
"I don't know... why don't you go and take a look?" The driver looked back at the carriage and asked tentatively.
"No need." A voice came from the carriage: "Wait another quarter of an hour. If there is no news, just leave."
The coachman nodded, and just as he turned around, he saw several figures walking out of the shop and walking towards the direction of the carriage.
His expression changed, and he was about to shake the reins and leave. When he turned around, he saw a man sitting on the other side of the carriage, smiling at him.
"Hello, brother."
…
Li Yi and Chen Chong stood in front of the carriage, looked at the carriage and said, "Come down."
There was no movement inside the carriage.
After an unknown amount of time, the car curtain was opened and a young man walked out of the car.
The moment he saw the young man, Chen Chong's face turned very gloomy.
"Master Chen, you are fine."
The young man in rich clothes straightened his clothes and smiled at Chen Chong. He looked like an old friend he had not seen for many years. More than ten people who looked like guards appeared behind him at the same time.
"Who is this?" Li Yi looked at Chen Chong and asked.
"Caomin..., I have met His Highness King Xin." Chen Chong bowed slightly and already explained the identity of the person in front of him.
Li Yi was startled, looked at Chen Chong, and asked, "Can you bear it?"
Chen Chong lowered his head and remained speechless.
This is what it means to endure. After all, it is impossible for the Chen family to compete with King Xin now. Since he has endured it, he has no reason not to endure it.
Miss Chen San hurriedly walked out of the shop, looked at Chen Chong, and said anxiously: "Second brother, I'm fine, don't be impulsive..."
Looking at the white-haired woman's pale face and the gauze on her hand that was bleeding faintly, Li Yi sighed, turned around, looked at the young man, and asked, "Who are you?"
The young man looked at him with a hint of doubt in his eyes: "Who is your Excellency?"
Li Yi cupped his hand and said, "I'm Li Yi."
The young man's expression turned cold, then he quickly smiled and said, "I just handed over the invitation to Dr. Li a few days ago. The servants of the Li family said that Dr. Li is seriously ill and cannot go out. I don't know what illness Dr. Li has.
It has only been a few days and it seems to have recovered..."
Li Yi looked at him and suddenly slapped him on the face. Before he could react, he asked, "Do you know what disease I have now?"
"you……"
"Hysteria, intermittent hysteria, His Majesty personally issued an imperial edict that it is not illegal to beat people in Kyoto..."
Half of the young man's face was temporarily unconscious, with a look of disbelief on his face. The next moment he pointed at him and said sternly: "Bold, I believe in Wang Li Zhe, how dare you..."
Li Yi asked doubtfully: "What do you believe in?"
"Believe in King Li Zhe!"
"What Zhe?"
"Believe in King Li Zhe!"
"Why are you talking so loudly? What's wrong with calling me Li Zhe? It's amazing to call me Li Zhe!"
"Bold, you actually teased me!"
…
Snapped!
Li Yi slapped the other side of his face again, looked at him and said, "Who do you believe in philosophy or not? Can young people straighten their tongues before speaking?"
Just now it was half of his face, now it is his whole face. The young man can no longer speak much.
Li Yi looked at Chen Chong and asked in a low voice: "Has the anger dissipated?"
A trace of pleasure appeared on Chen Chong's face and he shook his head slightly.
It's just two slaps, how can you calm down the anger? If it is the Chen family or the Chen family, King Xin is not King Xin, asking him to give him two hands is already giving him an advantage.
"If you still don't feel relieved..." Li Yi took out the dagger Miss Liu Er gave him from his sleeve, handed it to Chen Chong, and said, "This is for you, you can do it yourself."
…
Facts have once again proved that Chen Chong is indeed a man who doesn't mean what he says.
Li Yi put away the dagger and looked at him with a trace of doubt on his face. He looked at him and asked, "What happened just now?"
The weapons of the dozen or so guards behind King Xin were all unsheathed and fell to the ground almost at the same time. The sloppy old man threw a peanut into his mouth. The big man ran over with a flattering look on his face and asked: "
Senior, are you thirsty? Do you want a bowl of tea?"
King Xin regained his composure at this moment, stared at him, and asked: "Li Yi, Li County Marquis, Doctor Li, do you really want to do this?"
"Who is this?" Li Yi looked at Chen Chong and asked in confusion.
Chen Chong immediately introduced him: "This is His Royal Highness King Xin."
Li Yi looked at him and said in surprise: "His Royal Highness King Xin..., what did you mean by what you just said?"
"let's go."
King Xin didn't look at him again, turned around and got into the carriage. The guards behind him breathed a sigh of relief, picked up their weapons, and left quickly.
Things happened very quickly, and the crowd on the street quickly dispersed before they could gather around.
Miss Chen San looked at him with a worried look, "You, how could you, that's King Xin!"
Li Yi walked over, looked at him, and asked with concern: "Does your hand still hurt?"
In this world, apart from family and friends, there were two people that he would never allow anyone to hurt.
One is because of the constant sacrifice of blood, and the other is because of the irreparable debt.
No matter it is King Shu or King Xin, no matter what the consequences are, there is no need to consider these things.
Miss Chen San looked at him with a look of helplessness on her face, but her tone softened and she said, "Come in first."
At the door of the store, Chen rushed forward and asked, "Isn't it King Xin?"
Li Yi nodded.
"That's——King Qi?"
Li Yi shook his head.
Chen Chong had a look of surprise on his face, but he stopped asking. After a long time, he said: "Whether it is true or not, he is the prince after all. You were a little reckless today."
She sighed and said, "Anyway, thank you today."
"No need to thank me." Li Yi looked at him and said disdainfully: "You don't even dare to come forward when your relatives are being bullied, you coward!"
Several black lines appeared on Chen Chong's forehead. Did he stand up for Miaoyu by taking his dagger and stab Wang Xin twice?
Even if he, the biggest sycophant in Jingguo, did this kind of thing, it would definitely not be a good thing, right?
The people of the Li family are indeed as annoying as ever!
…
In a carriage driving slowly on the street.
The coachman said angrily: "That sycophant, relying on His Majesty's favor, dared to act so boldly. He doesn't take His Highness or the Royal Family seriously. As long as His Highness is impeached in front of His Majesty...
"
"Shut up!"
An extremely suppressed voice came from inside the carriage.
The expression on King Xin's face was ashamed and angry, but more importantly, he was frightened.
Naturally, he was angry and ashamed because he had lost face by Li Yi in front of so many people. If it spread to others, how could he, the prince, have any face at all?
What was horrifying was that that man was the most favored minister of his father. He was in and out of the palace all day long. His father trusted him more than any other minister. If there was something important, how could he not know about it?
Although it has not been announced to the outside world who is in the East Palace now, several ministers in the court, including him, must know in their hearts. If the prince is Li Zhe, how could Li Yi do it, and how dare he do it to himself...
His fists were clenched, his joints glowing white, and he gritted his teeth and said: "King Qi, King Qi..., is it King Qi!"
