Just when Li Xingchen was surprised by the appearance of the name "Xu Jian", there was suddenly a dense sound of footsteps outside the restaurant. Xiao Shilian was startled and hurriedly reached out to open the curtains. He was still indifferent to the sound of a large group of soldiers running.
Very familiar.
"The Royal Forest Army?" Xiao Shilian whispered, "They are also led by the palace officials."
Li Xingchen took a deep breath: "No, I must be here for these two brothers."
"Have you already alerted your Majesty?" Xiao Shilian had a surprised look on his face. They just had a "cordial and friendly" conversation with the two brothers for a while, but they actually attracted the Royal Forest Army. Could it be that His Majesty also specially sent people to follow this brother?
Can't the two of you get along?
"Don't panic. Although the Royal Forest Army is most likely here to find the two of them, it's not necessarily because we came for interrogation." Li Xingchen turned to look at the frightened Chen Shucheng, "After all, these two brothers are responsible for this.
There's not a lot of trouble at all, maybe His Majesty is angry and wants to take them back to hold them accountable."
While the two were talking, the noise in the house downstairs was getting louder and louder. The Royal Forest Army was obviously going upstairs, and a faint roar could be heard: "Where are your two highnesses?!"
Chen Shucheng shuddered and said tremblingly: "It must be that little bitch from Lechang who slandered us in front of the old man...father!"
"Shizhong, what should we do now?" Xiao Shilian said urgently, and the sound of tapping on the wall was heard at this time. It was obvious that Pei Zilie could not sit still.
Li Xingchen patted Chen Shucheng on the shoulder: "Your Highness, take care of yourself, let's go!"
Pei Zilie also walked over quickly, but unexpectedly, he was accompanied by Chen Shujian. At this time, the firm look on Chen Shujian's face had disappeared, replaced by anxiety and fear. He almost subconsciously grabbed Li Xinchen's sleeve:
"Young Master Li, Young Master Li! Young Master Li is very resourceful. Please save our two brothers. Third Young Master, please save our two brothers!"
This time it was Xiao Shilian and Pei Zilie's turn to look at each other. Chen Shucheng also knelt on the ground with a plop: "Three young masters, we have said everything we need to say. This time our father sends people to arrest us, there will definitely be no good results."
, the three young masters must save us."
"Forget it," Li Xingchen breathed a sigh of relief, "What happened today is a secret between us. Only the five of us know it. Can you two guarantee it?"
The footsteps were getting closer and closer. Chen Shujian and Chen Shucheng nodded repeatedly. At this time, they were too nervous to speak. The last time Chen Xu got angry, it was mainly because he punished their mother Shen Jieyu. This time they will definitely not be able to run away.
Even if the three people standing in front of them were actually the culprits for their punishment, they had no choice now.
"You can't run away now, but you haven't actually done any bad things. Your Majesty will definitely not kill you." Li Xingchen lowered his voice, "Remember, you can do whatever His Majesty orders you to do."
, I will try my best to intercede for you."
"Begging for mercy?" Chen Shujian and Chen Shucheng were startled. They didn't expect that they would get a "begging for mercy" in the end. With Li Xingchen's ability, what was the use of pleading for mercy?
"Maybe he is just a commoner, but if you include people from the Prince's Palace, General Zuo Wei, Du Guan Shangshu and even Sikong?" Li Xingchen raised his eyebrows.
Chen Shujian and Chen Shucheng looked at each other with joy on their faces.
"Your master doesn't care about you anymore, I will take care of it." Li Xingchen patted the two of them on the shoulders, as if he was telling his best friends who have known each other for decades, "Okay, without further ado, you can go out and remember
Stay tuned and have a good attitude towards admitting your mistakes, otherwise no one can save you!"
Chen Shujian gritted his teeth, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you very much, Mr. Li. If my two brothers can survive this disaster safely, I will definitely repay my kindness."
Li Xingchen waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Take care."
Chen Shujian reached out and grabbed his brother, who was almost paralyzed on the ground, and walked straight outside.
"Your Highness, your two highnesses!" the eunuch's easy-to-identify duck voice sounded outside, "I've found you two. Your Majesty ordered your two highnesses to return to the palace immediately. From now on, they will study behind closed doors. Without His Majesty's orders,
Don’t leave your house for a step.”
"I know." Chen Shujian's dull voice sounded.
Li Xingchen breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the chair.
"Shizhong, you..." Xiao Shilian frowned, "Really want to help these two guys? Don't forget that we almost suffered a loss at their hands twice."
"But we didn't suffer a loss after all, right?" Li Xingchen picked up the tea cup on the table and drank the tea in one gulp. At some point, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat. Apparently, the decision just now also made him sad.
Li Xingchen was entangled and hesitant in his heart for a long time.
Pei Zilie put away his sword and looked at Li Xingchen: "Shizhong, what do you mean..."
"These two people must not be lost. First of all, we only asked half of the questions," Li Xingchen gently clapped his hands. "Although we know who they are looking for, we actually don't know who sent them.
This Chen Shucheng is timid and has a cowardly character, so Chen Shujian may not necessarily tell him. And although Chen Shujian is not a good man, he is at least harder-boned than his younger brother, so he will definitely not tell him easily."
After a pause, Li Xingchen met the eyes of the two people and said after careful consideration: "Moreover, they must have made confessions before. It would be even more embarrassing if the person they asked was one of our own. The original search warrant outside Guazhoudu
The weapons forged in Zhongli's workshop still have this lesson."
Xiao Shilian nodded. With Chen Shuling's character, he must have made arrangements a long time ago, and the two brothers would not reveal the real superior easily.
"So instead of really asking for a result that puts us in a dilemma, it is better to leave it as it is. Only if we try our best to save them, or take this opportunity to lure their superiors to take action, can we achieve our goal." Li Xingchen narrowed his eyes.
Squinting his eyes, he stood up and looked outside. At this time, brothers Chen Shujian and Chen Shucheng were walking towards the carriage dejectedly. "The grass is like a gray line, and the pulse is thousands of miles away. I hope that someone's decision today will not be wrong."
Xiao Shilian and Pei Zilie looked at each other: "Then what should we do now?"
"Lu Qiong, Xu Jian..." Li Xingchen read these two names softly, "It's hard to figure out what Mr. Lu is thinking, but this Mr. Xu... could it be Xu? In fact, Ling's heart has long been towards the governor of Yangzhou, or does he want to have both sides?"
After a pause, Li Xingchen tilted his head slightly: "That's all, now that we know what we want to know, let's go to Mr. Shen first. The rest of the matter is actually not something you and I can decide. It's best to be loyal to The prince's civil and military ministers are all gathered together."
