Yuan Luo's little face turned pale with fear, he pointed at Li Chengzhi and shouted with a stern expression: "Don't come here...I am Wang Yuanyue of Ruyang..."
As soon as the word "Yue" came out of his mouth, he suddenly felt a black shadow hitting his head. Yuan Yue instinctively tilted her head.
The thing hit his cheek with a "dong". The force was so heavy that Yuan Yue stumbled and fell. He felt a pain in his mouth and cried out "ah".
After hearing another "bang", a straight-sheathed sword fell to the bluestone floor.
Looking at Yuan Yue again, I don't know what he was screaming about. Although he covered his mouth tightly with both hands, blood still seeped through his fingers and dripped down.
Li Chengzhi seemed to be frozen, and the hand that threw the knife froze in mid-air, like a javelin.
It’s over...
Didn't you tell me earlier?
It's just so late...
Hearing the Taoist priest shouting to the people in the city to help him, he knew that if he didn't take action, the white-faced man would have to escape without a trace, so he instinctively threw the knife out. Who would have thought, but he was actually beaten?
This is the emperor's younger brother, the youngest son of the late emperor Xiaowen, and he saw blood?
Emperor Xiaowen had seven sons:
The deposed prince Yuan Xun was deposed because he opposed sinicization and moving the capital to Luoyang, and was later sentenced to death by Emperor Xiaowen.
The second son Yuan Ke is the current emperor.
The third son Yuan Yu, Gao Wenjun's alleged third fiancé, rebelled last autumn and was forced to death by Gao Zhao after the defeat.
The fourth son, Yuanyi, has the mildest temperament and is now the minister Zuopushe (similar to the prime minister).
The fifth son Yuan Huai, the emperor's half-brother, was jealous of Yuan Ke and had been banned in the palace for several years.
There was also another Yuan Xu who died young, so we don’t care for the moment, so Yuan Yue is the youngest son of Emperor Xiaowen and the younger brother of the emperor.
Emperor Xiaowen's comment about him was that he had a eccentric personality and was absurd. His records in historical records were that he was unethical and unpredictable. What Li Chengzhi heard most was: Yuanyue was good at Taoism and Taoism.
Husband and wife love, great male lust.
Not to mention working in disguise as a second-rate man in the capital, Yuan Yue has done even more ridiculous things than this: once he didn't bring any bodyguards, saying he was going to Mang Mountain to find elixir, and he passed by a village and fell in love with a man.
The farmer... ended up being almost scratched by the farmer's wife and his face was bloody...
It may be that Yuan Yue has no future and poses little threat to the throne. It may also be that he forced his third brother Yuan Yu to death and imprisoned his half-brother Yuan Huai. There were already rumors among the people that the emperor was "cruel and unkind", so Yuan Ke
I am very tolerant of Yuan Yue.
Although Yuanyue would cause scandals and jokes from time to time, she was always picked up by the emperor and put down gently.
Of course, it is also because Yuanyue has always made small mistakes instead of big ones. Although she often robs men on the street, she does not succeed often and has never lost her life.
Even if he gets it, by the time the censor comes to visit him or Zongzheng Temple goes to get him, the sufferer will already have become a "benefactor"...
Yuan Yue didn't expect that the trouble she encountered today would be so tough, and her attacks were not so ruthless. She didn't even have time to report her family status, and she was beaten with blood from her mouth.
Not to mention Li Chengzhi was stunned, even the imperial guards on the city gate were so frightened that they fought with each other and were covered in chaff.
Who the hell would have expected that a group of Taoist priests who are usually very skilled would be reduced to this, fifty to five, which is equal to one in ten, but they would be knocked down to the ground by someone chopping melons and vegetables.
So fast, the fight was over before they even had time to shout?
When they teased Yuan Yue about being beaten frequently, they were only talking about being slapped by the emperor afterwards, not like this...
No matter how stupid, incompetent, and ridiculous, this is also my youngest brother, a first-class prince. He was beaten to the point of blushing under his own nose?
If we really want to pursue it, they will have to escape even if they don't die...
Immediately, a guard took off his bow and drew out his arrow, but before he could string it up, the young man in silver armor kicked it like a flying ball: "Whoever asked you to draw your bow, put it down for grandpa..."
Then he pointed at Li Chengzhi: "Don't be impulsive, he is the King of Ruyang..."
Am I impulsive?
Li Chengzhi wanted to grit his teeth with hatred.
Who would have thought that the dignified prince would be such a dick?
But after all the beatings, what else can we do?
The emperor won't kill himself, why don't he escape now and go back to Hexi to settle the matter?
After thinking about it, Li Chengzhi took another look at the city wall, and found that the young man in silver armor was looking at him intently, and there was no movement from the imperial army beside him.
Judging from this behavior, it doesn't seem that serious. Otherwise, the imperial guards on the wall would have pointed their bows and arrows at themselves, or come down to the city to arrest them...
Li Chengzhi rolled his eyes and pointed to Yuan Yue: "Should I pick up the knife?"
"You pick it up!" The boy in silver armor nodded, "But don't hit him again!"
Li Chengzhi was ecstatic.
It was originally a test, but who would have thought that the captain actually agreed?
It seems that the problem is not big, at least life is not worried.
Think about it, it should be like this: No matter how much Yuan Yue is a prince, this is also the capital. If he, the robbed master, is punished, will the prestige and face of the Yuan and Wei royal families be lost?
Thinking in his mind, Li Chengzhi actually went to pick up the knife. He was getting closer and closer to the city wall, and he could see more and more clearly above.
The people from Guanzhong have unparalleled appearance, tall and straight body, peerless martial arts, wild and uninhibited, and extremely bold...
Even the emperor's younger brother dared to beat him without showing any fear. Isn't that just audacious?
The more he looked at that face and figure, the more similar it was to what his elder brother described in the letter. And seeing that he was covering his left waist, the young man in silver armor narrowed his eyes: "You were injured below your waist. When did you get injured?" p>
When did you get injured?
Li Chengzhi thought for a moment: "It's more than forty years, right?"
Although the bones and internal organs were not injured, the wound was quite deep and it was not really easy to use. Excessive force would cause pain in the waist.
Otherwise, why would he only use one hand?
Not to mention the help of Li Rui and others, one person can turn the noses of these bulls...
Cursing in his heart, Li Chengzhi bent down to pick up the knife, and suddenly heard an exclamation from the city: "Are you Li Chengzhi, Li Chengzhi from Jingzhou?"
Li Chengzhi was stunned.
The city gate has not yet been opened, and the name book has not been checked or the order letter has been verified. How does the captain know about him?
Unless it is an uncle or cousin... Oh, the people of the Gao family should also know about themselves...
A bright light suddenly flashed in Li Chengzhi's mind: Yuan Yue shouted in desperation: "Brother Zicheng, save me quickly..."
Zicheng?
Gao Zicheng?
Is this Gao Zhao’s youngest son?
He pointed upward: "Are you Gao Zhan?"
Gao Zhan took a deep breath.
I got the right number, and it turned out to be Li Chengzhi...
Unexpectedly, before he responded, Yuan Yue screamed: "Are you going to die... huh? Pfft..."
As soon as he opened his mouth, he noticed that there was some leakage. Yuan Yue spat out a mouthful of blood, and asked with surprise and doubt: "Are you Li Chengzhi... the Li Chengzhi who single-handedly killed Murong Ding among thousands of troops?"
With that "pop", two white dots flew out, fell to the stone bricks, and rolled to Li Chengzhi's feet.
These are...two teeth?
Li Chengzhi looked confused.
Gao Zhan is even more confused!
Did you really knock out two of his teeth?
Broken...
Breaking a mouth and knocking out a tooth are two completely different concepts. Li Chengzhi would be a little disturbed if he didn't know it today...
He waved his hand fiercely and summoned a retainer: "Go back home quickly to find the third sister. Remember, she is the eldest sister of the third uncle's family... um, wait? The third sister must be in the palace at this time, you can go directly
Zhaoyang Palace (Queen’s Main Palace)..."
As he spoke, he turned back and told the second retainer: "First report to Luoyang Order, then wait for two moments, and then report to Zongzheng Temple..."
The retainer understood immediately, nodded fiercely, and quickly got off the wall...
After the guards left, Gao Zhan let out a fierce breath: "Put down the hanging basket and hoist up these two and four guards, as well as the Taoist priestess' crown..."
……
Imperial Palace, Zhaoyang Palace.
Since the Eastern Han Dynasty, this has been the place where the queen handled the affairs of the harem, with one hall and three halls. The main hall is Zhaoyang, and to the east is the Hanguang Hall, where the queen summons concubines and ministers, has banquets, and listens to lectures.<
/p>
To the west is a place for the queen to live or rest. Because the Jinluan Hall and the concubine's palace in front and behind are far away, the wind can blow more freely. In addition, the trees are tall and shaded, so it is relatively cooler, so it is named Liangfeng.
Palace.
The morning meeting had just ended, and the weather was getting hotter and hotter, and the air was even more humid. Gao Ying didn't want to go to the harem, so he stayed here. She also called Gao Wenjun over to talk and listen to the piano. p>
Ever since Yuan Ke's biological mother, Empress Gao, the empress of Emperor Xiaowen, the reputation of the Gao family's girls for their beauty has been known to both the government and the public. The two sisters are equally gorgeous, with 70% of their facial features similar. The only slight difference is the two eyebrows. Gao Wenjun's eyebrows are like the moon, beautiful and soft. Gao Ying's sword-shaped eyebrows are flying at an angle, and he is very heroic...
It seemed that he had gotten up too early. Gao Ying lay lazily on his side on the high couch, holding his powdered cheeks in one hand. His eyes were unfocused, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
There was only a simple bun on her head, and her black hair was bright and long, hanging straight down like a black waterfall, covering half of the bed.
The jade body is horizontally arrayed, with a complexion like jade, slender and graceful. The body is only covered with a layer of gauze, which is looming from top to bottom, just like: a slim jade body, like floating waves and lotus, with the gauze covering the delicate brilliance, and the hidden parts are slightly exposed.
……
It’s so ripe!
There were four palace maids standing beside her, each holding a pheasant feather palace fan half the height of a person, gently fanning her. Gao Wenjun sat in the hall and played the piano.
The song he played was "Yangchun Baixue". Although the music was good, he had listened to it so many times that Gao Ying lost much interest. Half of his mind was listening to the piano, and the other half was in a daze.
After playing the song, Gao Wenjun was supposed to stop playing the piano and come over to talk to her, but before he could say anything, the style of the music suddenly changed.
It is not as fast and compact as "Yangchun Baixue", which sometimes makes people restless when listening to it. This song is very soothing, as if you are in an empty mountain and deep valley, quiet and natural.
It seems to be a little wistful...
Gao Ying suddenly became more interested and half sat up. With an unintentional glance, he found that Gao Wenjun had a smile on his lips, spring in his eyes, and a bit of charm in his eyes.
Hearing the sound of the piano again, Gao Ying couldn't help but want to sneer: Are you really in tune with your youthful look?
After playing the last note, Gao Wenjun forgot to change the song and sat dumbly behind the piano, his mind filled with the figure of Li Chengzhi.
Lang Jun should be entering Beijing soon...
I was in a daze when I suddenly heard a sneer in my ear: "Miss him?"
Gao Wenjun trembled violently, and when he looked up, he didn't know when his cousin came to his side?
Her face turned red and she lowered her head sharply: "No...no..."
"No?" Gao Ying snorted coldly, "Qin is the voice of the heart, do you think I can't hear it?"
There was a palace maid by her side, so she couldn't reprimand her too much. She expressed her dissatisfaction and then changed the subject: "The song is really nice, is it a new one?"
It's okay not to ask, but Gao Wenjun's face turned redder when he asked: "No...it wasn't me, it was him...he created it..."
Who else could he be that my sister mentioned?
Gao Ying's eyes almost flew out of his head: "He can also compose piano music...how is that possible? You played it yourself and you can't hear it?
Although this song is quiet and elegant, there is a hint of lovesickness, and it also implies the pain and sorrow of missing the old boy who left home... He is only a few years old, and he has been growing up at home since he was a child. What's the matter?
Do you miss Youshang?"
Gao Wenjun thought for a while and had to answer: "My sister doesn't know, but it was indeed created by Mr. Lang..."
She really doesn’t know.
I helped him compose the music, and when I played it to him for the first time, Lang Jun was indeed as his sister said: his face was full of sadness, his mind was wandering, as if he really missed home.
But at that time, he was clearly in Jingzhou?
Looking at Gao Wenjun's expression, Gao Ying was very surprised: My sister really didn't lie. Is this song really composed by Li Chengzhi?
She asked casually: "What's the name of this song?"
"Beautiful myth..."
Gao Ying almost choked to death on a mouthful of saliva.
Regardless of the elegance or vulgarity of this song, at least it is very nice to listen to, so it has such a straightforward name?
Didn’t the eldest brother say that Li Chengzhi’s literary talent is excellent and his poetic talent is among the best in the world?
Gao Ying again thought of what his cousin Gao Meng said in his letter, and the more he thought about it, the more surprised he became: "Is there anything he can't do?"
Gao Wenjun was stunned, remembering Li Chengzhi's joke about Wei Yu, and his face turned red again.
Just when I didn't know what to say, I heard the report from the palace lady outside the palace: "Your Highness, some servants of Gao Yulin have entered the palace to look for the third lady, saying that they have something important to report..."
"Third brother? Isn't he on duty today? What's important?" Gao Ying frowned slightly, "Did you tell me what it was?"
"I told you!" There was a trace of suspicion on Gong E's face, "It was said that a young general named Li came from Jingzhou and had a conflict with King Ruyang outside the city. He seemed to have injured King Ruyang...
”
Lang Jun injured King Ruyang?
Gao Wenjun was startled. He might have gotten up too hard, his vision went dark, and he was a little unsteady on his feet.
"Why are you panicking?" Gao Ying gave her a hand and scolded her softly, "No matter how little things happen to my third brother, he still knows what is minor and what is serious. If the matter is really important, how could he send someone to inform you?" p>
This means that even if Yuan Yue was injured, it was probably not serious. Otherwise, Li Chengzhi should have been put in jail and held accountable. He might have been beheaded, and Gao Wenjun wouldn't have even heard a trace of it.
Gao Ying pondered for a moment, then shouted softly: "Let me change my clothes!"
First, she wanted to see if Li Chengzhi was really as good as Gao Wenjun said, and if he was really as talented as his elder brother Gao Meng said in his letter.
Secondly, if it is according to the elder brother's wishes, there is still some obstruction between Li Chengzhi and the Gao family. So if the relationship is not big, then if Yuan Yue is not hurt too seriously, he can just save him...
