On the side, Yuchi Baolin had a simple and honest face and said nonchalantly.
Anyway, after walking for another day, he won't feel tired.
"It's better not to disturb the people!"
After hearing this, Fang Yizhi and Du Gou quickly raised their heads and looked around. However, they found that all the passers-by who passed them had frightened expressions on their faces and wished they could stay away from them.
There were even some passers-by who were frightened and turned back when they saw this group of people.
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but look helpless.
"That is, if the guards of the Chongyi family don't know how to get to his home in Zhuangzi, how can these passers-by know?"
"Da Lang, and all the young gentlemen, please rest assured that this road is definitely the way to the Li Family Village!"
Li Chongyi's bodyguard, Li Si, assured with an affirmative look.
"Then why we haven't arrived yet after walking for almost an hour?"
Cheng Chusi asked.
"this?"
Hearing this, Li Si looked helpless.
"Everyone, Lijiazhuang is located at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, beside the Jinghe River. It is dozens of miles away from Chang'an City. We have only walked half of the distance!"
"half?"
Even Cheng Chusi and Cheng Hualiang, who had no concept of distance, looked bitter. Although they had practiced martial arts since childhood, they still felt a little tired after walking for so long.
As for Du Gou and Fang Yizhi, both of them came from civil servant families. They had not been trained by their family members since they were young, and they even felt that their legs were trembling.
"How about we rent a carriage? Otherwise, with the speed of the few of us, we might not be able to walk even in the dark!"
"Rent a carriage? No, no, I agreed yesterday to sneak over there secretly. If I rent a carriage, won't I, Aye, find out?"
The Cheng Chusi brothers shook their heads repeatedly.
"..."
Seeing this, Li Chongyi's forehead went dark.
"Why do you think we haven't been discovered?"
"What, how is this possible? Who told the secret?"
The faces of the Cheng Chusi brothers changed greatly, and then they looked at their guards fiercely.
Although they are sometimes not very smart, based on past experience, this kind of thing must have been done by their own guards.
Even Yuchi Baolin, Du Gou and others' expressions changed slightly.
"My brothers and I are the eldest sons of each family. It's such a big thing to leave the city. We didn't inform our elders. How dare these guards let us leave the city?"
Li Chongyi is older and has been influenced by Li Xiaogong since childhood, so he naturally thinks more than Cheng Chusi and others.
"Humph, I'll settle the score with you when I get back!"
Hearing this and seeing the evasive look on his bodyguard's face, Cheng Chusi and other naughty kids also reacted with angry expressions on their faces.
Immediately, his face became even more fierce.
"Now that Aye knows everything, why don't you hurry up and find the carriage? Do you want me to tire myself out waiting?"
"Hey, Dalang, the master has ordered me not to wait for you to find horses and vehicles!"
All the guards said the same words.
Obviously, the bold behavior of these naughty children has annoyed all the elders!
"Huh, if you don't give it, I won't give it. It's such a small distance, I can walk there!"
Seeing this, Cheng Chusi, Li Chongyi and others also looked unconvinced.
We are all the eldest sons of princes and princes from various countries, future heirs to the title, and the top naughty boys in Chang'an City. They all have their own arrogance.
"Yi Ai, Du Gou, hurry up, you still have to go to Lijiazhuang today!"
"That's right, you still want to use this to restrict us..."
"Um?"
Suddenly, several people noticed that a motorcade was coming from behind.
On the carriage, thick logs were pulled.
Seeing this, Li Chongyi, Cheng Chusi and other naughty kids couldn't help but look overjoyed.
"Chongyi, do these carriages belong to your family?"
"He's from my family. I've seen the leader. He's the steward of the house, Li Gui!"
"Hey, this Li Gui in your house will be heavily rewarded when he returns!"
In an instant, Cheng Chusi, Fang Yizhi and others all looked overjoyed.
A group of people stood in the road, heads held high with pride on their faces, waiting for the motorcade in the distance to come.
However, several people were unaware of this behavior and directly shocked Li Gui.
Why are my elder husband and these younger gentlemen here?
Thinking about it, I hurriedly came forward to pay my respects.
"The little man Li Gui has met the big man and all the young men!"
"Li Gui, where are you going?"
"Go back to Dalang, I want to transport these wood to Lijiazhuang!"
Li Gui quickly replied.
"But that Zhuangzi that His Majesty just rewarded Aye two days ago?"
Li Chongyi looked happy and asked quickly.
At the same time, Cheng Chusi, Fang Yizhi and others quickly looked at Li Gui, with a hint of expectation subconsciously in their eyes.
This look shocked Li Gui even more.
However, facing Li Chongyi, Li Gui did not dare to hide anything and quickly replied: "Back to Dalang, that's right!"
"So good!"
"Haha, God is really blessing me!"
After hearing this, Li Gui's eyelids jumped.
Thinking of the "glorious" deeds of the great men of various families in Chang'an City, Li Gui had the urge to turn around and run away.
"Li Gui, quickly make a place for me and others and take us to Lijiazhuang!"
"Ah?" Li Gui was shocked.
"Um?"
"Yes, gentlemen, please hurry up!"
Although he was reluctant in his heart, under Li Chongyi's pressure, Li Gui quickly ordered his men to clear a few seats on the carriage at the front for these young men to sit on.
…
Riding a carriage is much faster than walking.
More than half an hour later.
Li Chongyi and Cheng Chusi were the first to arrive outside Lijiazhuang.
Li Gui and others, on the other hand, were holding the carriage and walking slowly behind.
"He who comes is stopped!"
However, before Li Chongyi and others could enter the village, they were stopped by a group of guards armed with knives.
"Be bold!"
Seeing this, Li Si and other guards quickly went up to protect his elder man.
"Hey, Chongyi, you, Aye, really value this Zhuangzi, and you actually sent private soldiers to protect him!"
For these guards, Cheng Chusi, Fang Yizhi and others did not show any fear at all.
In their houses, they also maintain a team of private soldiers and personal guards.
"Whose subordinates do you have? When Da Lang comes in person, he doesn't greet him with courtesy and dares to stop him?"
Li Si scolded sharply.
However, after shouting, his expression froze and he quickly retreated, his hands already holding the handle of the knife.
Being sent by Li Xiaogong as Li Chongyi's bodyguard is naturally the person Li Xiaogong trusts most, and he is also Li Xiaogong's personal bodyguard. He is very familiar with the private soldiers and bodyguards in the house.
However, the group of knife-wielding guards in front of him looked extremely strange to him, and he didn't recognize any of them.
Obviously, these people are definitely not the guards of their own house!
Thinking about it, I looked around for fear that another group of people would appear around me!
At the same time, following Li Si's movements, Cheng Chusi, Yuchi Baolin and other accompanying guards also quickly rose up, holding knives in both hands, with solemn expressions, tightly protecting their elder man in the middle.
"Who are you? Why do you appear outside Zhuangzi here?"
Li Si asked again.
"Who are you?"
What made Li Si breath a sigh of relief was that the group of strange guards on the opposite side didn't seem to be here specifically for them, and they didn't have much hostility. They seemed to be just trying to stop them!
