Gongsun Zhi found it difficult to understand Li Danqing's actions.
Just like Bai Zhiluo hiding in the dark, she also didn't understand the meaning of Li Danqing's move.
She took a deep look at Li Danqing's back and whispered to the driver driving the car: "Let's go."
The groom was a tall man with a straw hat that showed his age. After hearing this, he just lowered the hat on his head, then whipped up his horse whip and led the carriage towards the depths of the alley.
Of course Gongsun Zhi also wanted to persuade Li Danqing. In his opinion, Li Danqing's move was probably just a self-defeating act when he was desperate. However, people around him were confused. Although he was grateful for Li Mulin's support back then, he still refused.
It is impossible to risk your own life and that of your family for Li Danqing.
There were many soldiers around him, and although they were all his subordinates, he didn't dare to bet on whether any of these thousands of people would betray him for the sake of glory and wealth.
Therefore, he could only take a deep look at Li Danqing and then nod to a close relative around him. The man naturally understood what Gongsun Zhi meant, turned around and left quickly, presumably to report the matter to his superiors.
The other soldiers around him also looked slightly nervous and excited when they saw Li Danqing surrendering without mercy.
Naturally, I was nervous because of the rumors that Li Danqing had reached the realm of the Martial Lord, but I was excited because catching the traitor who killed the king was a huge achievement. Not to mention the bright career, and the various rewards that came with it.
, are enough for most of them to have enough food and clothing in the future.
"The prince came here on his own, I think this punishment will be waived." But Gongsun Zhi obviously still missed his old friendship and did not want Li Danqing to be tied up by his subordinates. He said at that time, and everyone around him looked hesitant after hearing this.
After all, Li Danqing's reputation has become very bad among the people of Wuyang City overnight, so if he is standing in front of them like this, everyone will inevitably feel terrified.
Gongsun Zhi naturally saw what his subordinates were thinking, and he said in a deep voice: "With the iron ropes on your bodies, can you trap the prince?"
These words made the uneasy soldiers give up their thoughts. After all, as long as a strong man from Wujun is really determined, let alone the iron rope in his hand, even if the three thousand people present try to stop him with their lives,
It may not be possible to stop it.
"Your Majesty... why are you doing this?" Gongsun Zhi saw that the crowd had stopped, so he walked up to Li Danqing and whispered in his ear.
Li Danqing smiled faintly and did not explain, but said seriously: "I have one more request, and I hope General Gongsun will grant it."
When Gongsun Zhi heard this, he didn't hesitate at all and said, "As long as it's within my ability, it doesn't matter what I say."
"I want to go into the mansion and have a look." Li Danqing said as he looked at the Prince's Mansion, which was just around the corner.
The commotion in front of the mansion obviously attracted the attention of everyone in the mansion. The gate of the Prince's Mansion opened. Liu Yanzhen Qingzhu and others stood there, looking at Li Danqing with worried expressions. There was a faint mist in the eyes of the girls.
He looked like he was about to cry.
Xue Yun, Master Ziju and others were more restrained, but the worry on their brows could not be concealed.
Li Danqing smiled at everyone and gave them a look that told them not to worry, but obviously at this time, such comfort was of little use, and the worry on everyone's brows increased instead of decreasing.
Gongsun Zhi looked embarrassed. He lowered his head and thought for a while, but still couldn't give an answer.
"If the general is worried, you can watch from the sidelines. I will just say a few words, and your soldiers can also testify together." Li Danqing saw Gongsun Zhi's dilemma and said at that time.
After hearing this, Gongsun Zhi finally gritted his teeth and nodded.
Li Danqing has always been a smart person in his heart, and he is still an unusually smart person.
He didn't believe that Li Danqing would throw himself into a trap. There must be some conspiracy behind it. Of course he also hoped that Li Danqing could escape and ascend to heaven, but he couldn't escape from ascending to heaven in his hands. After all, that would be a terrible time for him.
A devastating disaster.
You can hope that the people around you are friendly enough, but after all, you cannot be harsh on others and sacrifice themselves to save you.
It is understandable that human nature is self-interested.
If it does no harm to others, it can be called good.
Gongsun Zhi was somewhat worried about what news Li Danqing would convey through this matter, but since Li Danqing was willing to let him watch, he felt more at ease and had no reason not to agree.
Seeing Gongsun Zhi nodding, Li Danqing smiled and thanked him.
"Thank you, General." After saying this, he stepped forward and walked towards the waiting people in front of the mansion. Seeing this, the soldiers around him were a little worried, but when they saw Li Danqing stepping forward, they did not dare to stop him.
At that time, they all stepped back to make way for him.
Li Danqing quickly walked in front of everyone. Liu Yanzhen was the first to lose control and quickly stepped forward and threw herself into Li Danqing's arms. Li Danqing reached out and patted her back gently to comfort her.
At the same time, he looked up at everyone. He could see that people such as Qingzhu, Xia Xianyin and others were trying their best to restrain themselves. Li Danqing said apologetically: "I'm sorry for making you worry."
After hearing this, everyone shook their heads. They wanted to say something, but at this juncture, they didn't know how to say it.
However, Li Danqing saw clearly that the energy around Qingzhu and Xia Xianyin had begun to be activated. At the same time, they also looked at Li Danqing, obviously asking what Li Danqing meant - whether they wanted to take action brazenly at this time.
Fight a bloody path.
Li Danqing
He shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I'll be fine."
This statement was obviously not convincing enough. The soldiers looking for Li Danqing had almost turned the entire Wuyang City upside down. Ji Quan had just succeeded to the throne. Although he had eliminated several members of the Three Prefectures and Nine Divisions who were usually against him.
officials, but they are far from having a firm foothold.
Whether among the people or in the court, there are still endless voices opposing him.
Moreover, Ji Fei is still alive, and his supporters are also acting secretly. There will be some action in southern Xinjiang soon. At this juncture, Ji Quan urgently needs an opportunity to establish his authority.
And the thief who kills the king with his own hands is obviously the best thing at the moment.
Once Li Danqing really fell into Ji Quan's hands, no one thought that Li Danqing would have a chance to survive.
"I didn't kill the person." Li Danqing said again.
Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
Although they had doubts about this, it was no longer important now.
After all, anyone could see that the imperial court was determined to kill him. It was extremely resolute and would never give him the slightest chance to argue.
"I have a way to prove that you can just stay at home and don't have to worry, let alone do anything. I believe that with your Majesty's wisdom, you will definitely clear my name." Li Danqing said again.
His tone was calm, but the meaning conveyed in his words was worth pondering.
The relationship between Li Danqing and Ji Quan was incompatible for everyone in Wuyang City to see.
Ji Quan was worried that he would not be able to find a chance to deal with Li Danqing, so how could he redress his injustice?
No matter how unwise Li Danqing was, he would never place his hopes on Ji Quan.
He said this obviously because he was fully confident. Although everyone still didn't understand what it was, Qingzhu and Xia Xianyin put away the qi that had been activated around them at this time, and looked deeply at
After Li Danqing took one look, he nodded towards Li Danqing with some difficulty.
Deep down in their hearts, they were very afraid that if they missed this time, Li Danqing would be detained in Tiyusi, and they would never have the chance to rescue Li Danqing. However, compared to their impulse at the moment, they still chose to believe in Li Danqing.
This is actually a decision that seems simple but is actually very difficult.
Li Danqing also saw their struggle, and nodded towards them and said: "Don't worry, nothing will happen, trust me. By the way, if you are free, go to the Prince's Mansion and ask Ji Fei
Brother knows that I, Li Danqing, am definitely not a regicide, and I have a close relationship with him, so don’t let him worry about me."
After hearing this, the eyes of those with sharp minds among the crowd lit up, as if they had thought of something, but did not wait for their response.
Several iron ropes came from behind Li Danqing at this moment. They were so fast that Li Danqing had no time to react. Four iron ropes fell on Li Danqing at this moment. The iron ropes were obviously made using secret techniques.
, the moment it landed on Li Danqing, it wrapped around Li Danqing's limbs. A huge feeling of powerlessness came over him at that time. Li Danqing's figure trembled and he fell heavily to the ground.
"Dean!"
"Your Majesty!"
"Little Lord!"
Several exclamations sounded from everyone's mouths at the same time, but Li Danqing quickly raised his head and shook his head at everyone, which made everyone who had almost put their hands on their swords suppress the thought of taking action.
"Prince Li! I didn't expect that we would meet again in this way!" A sinister voice came from behind. Li Danqing raised his head and looked back, only to see that it was the commander of the Divine Tiger Army - Mang Huan.
!
Li Danqing had just seen the other party's appearance clearly, and before he could say anything, Mang Huan, who came behind him, stretched out his foot and stepped heavily on Li Danqing's back, and the four iron ropes that fell on him
Engraved with strange blue runes, Li Danqing's body was too weak to exert any strength. The kick fell on Li Danqing's back. Li Danqing made a splash, and his body that had just stood up straightened up
He fell straight to the ground.
Mang Huan's kick was extremely forceful. Li Danqing fell to the ground and collided with the ground, making a muffled sound. The huge force made him dizzy for a while, and even blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. He spent several times with it.
It was only when he took a breath that he came back to his senses.
But Li Danqing did not show any pain at all, but turned back to look at him at that time. The next moment, Li Shizi grinned and said: "I didn't expect that after so long, General Mang is still the same as before.
He has no brains and only knows how to wield swords and guns, but unfortunately his skills are not good."
Mang Huan was not his brave and fierce son Mang Ku, so he would not be intimidated by Li Danqing's clumsy provocation. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Danqing, and sneered: "Your Majesty, he is still the same as before.
He is very eloquent, but it is a pity that I may not have the opportunity to hear these interesting remarks from Prince Li in the future."
"That's right. After all, General Mang is almost sixty, and he doesn't have many days left to live." Li Danqing also smiled.
Mang Huan's face became a little ugly at that time, but he still resisted the urge to take action.
He snorted coldly and stopped arguing with Li Danqing. He just said: "Bring Li Shizi back to the imperial court for trial! With the trapped dragon rope in Bailong Mountain, even if Li Danqing really has any great ability, it will be revealed."
I can’t afford a big wave.”
Everyone around them holding iron ropes nodded when they heard the words. At that time, they dragged the iron rope and pulled Li Danqing on the ground. Li Danqing's golden clothes were soon worn to pieces. Even though he was physically strong, he was trapped.
The dragon rope locked the blood power in the body. Under such dragging, the skin on the chest was still
It was worn away, leaving a long trail of blood on the ground.
But Li Danqing gritted his teeth and remained silent, not making any painful wails that could make Mang Huan feel a little proud.
Naturally, Mang Huan was also aware of Li Danqing's thoughts. He snorted again, and then turned to look at the people in the Prince's Mansion. Mang Huan did not pay attention to the undisguised hostility in everyone's eyes. He quickly
He withdrew his gaze and looked at Gongsun Zhi aside.
"You caught the man, and the credit belongs to you. You can rest assured that I will tell His Majesty that these people in the Prince's Mansion are most likely Li Danqing's accomplices. You are a good guard and cannot let them leave.
The Prince's Mansion has taken half a step, otherwise something went wrong. Even if you have the credit of catching Li Danqing, it will be difficult to make up for it!" Mang Huan said in a harsh tone.
Hearing this, Gongsun Zhi nodded quickly and said, "I understand, sir. Don't worry."
After receiving this response, Mang Huan was finally satisfied. He nodded and immediately turned around and left with his army.
…
Li Danqing often said that in Wuyang City, there are eyeliners and hidden stakes everywhere. When walking here, you have to be careful and walk on thin ice. This is not an exaggeration.
Although Gongsun Zhi only had a few words with Li Danqing in Shenyu Palace, it was obvious that the relationship between the two had long been characterized as unusual. At least in Mang Huan's heart, Gongsun Zhi was not that trustworthy.
Not long after they left, another group of soldiers arrived. The leader was named Zhang Chuyun. He was the commander of the White Tiger Guard under the Divine Tiger Army. In name, he was here to help defend Gongsun Zhi, but in fact he was everywhere.
Monitor and restrict Gongsun Zhi's actions.
But Gongsun Zhi was cautious at first, and letting Li Danqing speak a few words to everyone in the Shizi Mansion was the limit of what he could do for Li Danqing. Therefore, although he was a little unhappy, he still gritted his teeth and endured it.
.
But at this moment, everyone in the Prince's residence was not feeling so well.
Different from Gongsun Zhi's previous action of just surrounding the periphery of the Prince's Mansion, the commander of the White Tiger Guard did not know whether it was due to bad taste or instructions from someone above. He was not satisfied with supervising everyone outside the Prince's Mansion, and even brought a few people with him.
No. 100's soldiers entered the Prince's Mansion. No matter what they did, there were four or five soldiers following behind them, not giving them any chance to be alone...
Everyone wanted to communicate privately, but due to the flies following behind them, they were unable to communicate and could only feel anxious.
Before Li Danqing left, he left a very thought-provoking message!
He said that everyone should tell the second prince Ji Fei to trust him and not worry about him!
Everyone knows that Li Danqing can have any friendship with the second prince. This is obviously to let them find a way to tell this to the second prince. No one can tell what the purpose behind this is, but it seems that at present, they
The only thing that can be done to help Li Danqing is, but with the arrival of Zhang Chuyun, everyone has no way to discuss countermeasures and escape from the prince's mansion.
Liu Yanzhen's face turned red with anxiety, and he looked at the soldier beside him angrily, but he did not dare to take action.
Zhang Chuyun was sitting on a pavilion not far away, drinking tea leisurely. Feeling the anxious atmosphere among everyone, he grinned and said, "Don't worry, as long as you have nothing to do with Li Danqing,
Then there won’t be anything big, of course, if there is anything, then we can almost prepare for the funeral.”
His arrogance was arrogant, and his words were full of provocation. Everyone standing around looked ugly when they heard what he said.
Zhang Chuyun didn't seem to be satisfied with this result. He squinted at Master Ziju among the crowd, and suddenly raised his eyebrows and said: "I remember hearing someone from Taixue Pavilion say that this old gentleman has outstanding piano skills.
, why don’t you play the harp and let me, the general, relieve his fatigue."
Shi Ziju flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly: "Huh! I won't play the qin to anyone who is not worthy of listening to it."
Zhang Chuyun was not angry when he heard this, he just narrowed his eyes and said, "Aren't you going to play the piano?"
"It doesn't matter. This general never makes things difficult for others."
"It's just that I haven't slept all night, and I'm very sleepy at the moment. It's inevitable that I'll be dizzy. I won't hesitate to think of one of you as a traitor and kill him with one knife. Even if he reports to the court, no one will hold him accountable.
no?"
"You!" Zhang Chuyun's words caused Shi Ziju's expression to change suddenly. He looked at Zhang Chuyun with a livid face and was about to curse.
But before the words were spoken, Qingzhu on the side suddenly stepped forward, bowed to Zhang Chuyun Yingying, and said: "Why don't you let me play the piano for the general."
Zhang Chuyun was stunned and looked at Qingzhu. Seeing her charming appearance, his eyes lit up and he said: "Okay, okay! Let the little beauty play the piano."
Everyone in the Prince's Mansion was a little surprised as to why Qingzhu suddenly compromised with the other party. But at this juncture, it was hard for everyone to ask questions.
I saw Qingzhu walking to the guqin that was carried up by the soldiers, and sat down Yingying.
Then she stretched out her jade fingers and gently plucked the strings, and a series of musical notes jumped out from her fingertips.
The sound of the piano was slow at first, but as time went by, it gradually became louder, like a sudden rain beating on a jade plate, or like a golden sword crossing a battlefield.
The music was exquisite, and Zhang Chuyun was fascinated by it. While shaking his head, he stretched out his hand to gently tap the desk in front of him in accordance with the music. Probably because he was too intoxicated, he did not notice the Prince's Mansion nearby.
However, the expressions on the faces of everyone never seemed to be confused, but gradually turned into surprise, and then a little joy came into their hearts.
