Late at night, at the home of Fang Xuanling, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty.
"Snapped-"
There was a sharp slap in the face, and Fang Xuanling, who had always been gentle and indifferent to emotions and anger, was so angry that his face turned red and his whole body trembled. Even his eyes were filled with blood, and he almost lost his breath.
The one who was thrown to the ground by his slap was his second wife's last love!
"Old man, you're crazy!" Fang Xuanling's wife, Lu, who was famous for her jealousy and coined the allusion of "jealousy", was even more furious than Fang Xuanling and rushed to stand between him and her son. Suddenly, he put his hands on his hips and stared at him angrily and cursed.
"Get away! I have to kill this bastard today!" Fang Xuanling launched such a thundering fire for the first time in his life. He threw Lu away, raised his foot and stepped on Fang Xuanling!
Bah, bah, bah, three feet in a row, step firmly!
Fang Yiai is tall and strong and has practiced martial arts. His body is strong enough and a few steps on him won't cause any serious harm. At this time, he was like a mouse meeting a cat, obediently lying on the ground and letting Fang Xuanling trample on him, not daring to raise his head or say a word.
"You beast, you beast!" Fang Xuanling was so angry that his beard trembled and he stomped his feet. He grabbed a cup of tea and threw it at Fang Xuanling. "You will kill the whole family! The Fang family's face will last for generations." You've lost everything!"
With a "bang", the teacup hit Fang Xuanling's strong back and bounced to the ground, shattering the tea cup and splashing everywhere. Fang Yi didn't dare to fart, so he buried his head in his arms and stayed close to the ground, like an ostrich encountering an enemy in the desert.
"Damn old man, if you beat me again, you'll beat me to death too!" Mrs. Lu rushed forward and hugged her widowed mother, crying loudly.
"Get out, get out of here - someone, pull her away! I have to beat this little beast to death today! It's all because of your spoiled mother-in-law. Look at what he has done. Is this going to happen?" The whole family will suffer!" Fang Xuanling was so angry that he couldn't stop cursing and was so angry that he could hardly breathe. He flopped onto the chair, his face turned pale and he almost lost his breath.
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded outside the door - "The Emperor has arrived!"
"What, the emperor is here!" Fang Xuanling's face suddenly turned white. At this moment, Fang Yiai, who was lying on the ground and did not dare to move, panicked. She knelt up and hugged Fang Xuanling's feet tightly and shouted: "Dad, help me, Dad, I don't want to die!"
"Go away! You evil beast!" Fang Xuanling kicked him away angrily, glanced at Lu, and shouted in a low voice, "Why don't you take this good son of yours away?"
"Okay!" Mrs. Lu mentally understood and hurriedly stepped forward to pull Fang Yiai away. She knew in her heart that no matter how angry Fang Xuanling was, her heart was still towards her son. After all, it was his own flesh and blood, and the tiger's poison would not eat its seeds, so how could he really have the heart to let him die
Li Shimin wore a simple plain clothes, his face was a little calm, and he strode towards the inner hall with his hands cut behind his back. Along the way, all the family members in Fangfu fell to their knees. Li Shimin didn't even look at them and just kept moving forward. He has always had a close relationship with his subjects. He has been to the Fang family more than once or twice, and he is usually very kind and approachable.
But today, it was really hard for him to be in a good mood!
If you rebel against his wife's love, you will really risk your life!
I finally convinced Gao Yang to let her get in touch with Fang Yiai, so that she wouldn't be such a stranger when we get married in the future. Fortunately for him, after only three days of staying with Gao Yang, his animal nature became so strong that he even wanted to force himself to do something! Gao Yang refused to obey, but he actually dared to rape the maidservant beside Gao Yang!
What a lustful and bold fool! Are you trying to kill Fang's entire family? ... Fortunately, Gao Yang didn't really castrate Fang Yiai with that knife, otherwise the news would spread, and I and the entire royal family would be made to laugh!
…
As soon as Li Shimin stepped into the main hall, Fang Xuanling faced him and knelt down at his feet: "The guilty minister kneels down to greet your Majesty! The guilty minister will die, please forgive me!"
"Hey..." Li Shimin frowned deeply and let out a long sigh. He bent down to help Fang Xuanling up and sighed, "Xuanling, I came here incognito today, specifically for my children's housework. At this moment, there are only in-laws, no monarchs or ministers. "You don't have to panic."
Fang Xuanling stood up, his face full of shame and heartache. He beat his chest several times and burst into tears, "How can I have the face to become an in-law with Your Majesty? I have an evil son in my family who has ruined the family tradition. Our ancestors are in ruins! Your Majesty, please immediately give up your position as a minor minister and put that evil son to death!"
"Xuanling, what are you talking about?" Li Shimin sighed again, "If I had planned to do this, I would not have come to your house in person. You have been like my right-hand man for the past twenty years, and I can do it myself To chop him off with a knife? However, I think this matter is quite strange. Although I am not an elegant scholar, I am not a confused person like Meng Lang. "
"The guilty minister is also unknown. The guilty minister just heard the news and was furious. He beat him at home for an hour..." Fang Xuanling shook his head in tears, "How can the guilty minister have the face to ask for details? "
Li Shimin frowned slightly: "Call him here, I will ask him personally!"
…
Puzhou Guanyi welcomed a big man today. King Wu Li Ke passed by and stayed at Guanyi.
The post stations in the Tang Dynasty were all operated by the imperial government and were specially used for passing officials to rest and deliver correspondence. If you have official documents from the imperial court, you can stay there for free. Moreover, the general conditions of the inn are very good. In addition to the excellent living conditions, the food supply is also quite rich. Compared with the high-end restaurants and inns, it is not inferior to the official "star guest house" of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Ke was returning to the capital from Jiangzhou and passed through Puzhou. He had no intention of alarming local officials, so he took the official road directly to the post station to rest.
After drinking and eating, Li Ke went for a walk alone in the backyard of the post house. It was late autumn and the chrysanthemums were in full bloom. The flower garden of the post house was well-kept. Li Ke admired it with interest.
At this moment, a young woman of seventeen or eighteen years old appeared in Li Ke's sight across the flower garden. Li Ke glanced at it and felt that it looked familiar. And the other party was waving to him anxiously.
"Who is this?" Li Ke was suspicious and followed the woman directly. When the woman saw Li Ke following him, she hurriedly walked towards a restaurant, turning back and waving to him to signal him to follow.
"What's the purpose of calling me over? Can you still harm me?" Li Kedan laughed and strode over.
The door of the library was opened, and the woman stood by the door and bent down to salute: "Your Highness, King Wu, please come in quickly!"
"You recognize me?"
"My maid is the palace attendant of Her Highness Princess Gaoyang, so she naturally recognizes His Highness King Wu!"
"What?" Li Ke was startled, and hurriedly turned his head to look inside the room, and sure enough he saw Princess Gao Yang lying on the couch, choking and crying!
"Gao Yang, why are you here? What happened?" Li Ke ran over in surprise, grabbed Princess Gao Yang and asked in surprise.
Princess Gao Yang was already sulking and crying until her eyes were red. Now she started crying even louder: "Third brother, I'm going to die! I'm going to die!"
"What's going on? Slowly tell third brother clearly!" Li Ke was extremely surprised - isn't Gao Yang in the palace? Why did he suddenly appear in Puzhouguanyi? Looking at this situation, she is clearly waiting for me on the only way here!
At this time, the palace maid came over gently and said: "Your Highness King Wu, the princess is frightened and overly sad. Should I ask the maid to come and tell you what happened?"
"Okay, tell me!"
…
Half an hour later, Li Ke found Quan Wanji in private.
"Sir, I'm afraid we have to stay here for a day or two longer." Li Ke said seriously.
"Why? The emperor called urgently. We should return to the capital as soon as possible to see him!" Quan Wanji asked in confusion.
"Something happened, but I can't explain it to my husband at the moment." Li Ke frowned and said, "Anyway, I'm going to a place now. Work hard and I should be able to get back in a day and a night. Just tell me that I'm exhausted. I feel sick in my stomach and will rest for a day or two. I will definitely come back before dark tomorrow."
Quan Wanji frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay then! If Your Highness needs help, just ask."
"No." Li Ke said, "You just need to keep the news and don't let others know that I left here."
"Okay, go ahead!" Quan Wanji didn't ask any further questions. He understands Li Ke. Although he can be a little playful sometimes, he is still very steady in the face of major events. If it wasn't an extremely urgent matter, he wouldn't do it; if it wasn't a very confidential matter, he would have discussed it with himself. Since he didn't want to say it, he shouldn't ask more questions.
After nightfall, Li Ke and Princess Gaoyang dressed up, rode on a BMW and galloped towards Jiangzhou.
"Gao Yang, how could you do such a thing?"
"What! It's obviously that shameless Fang Er bastard! If I didn't draw my sword to defend myself, I'm afraid I would have been killed in his hands! Even so, he, he also insulted a maid next to me, you say How audacious he is! Moreover, instead of scolding Fang Er when something like this happened, he actually scolded me and still refused to terminate our engagement! I hate it so much! In the palace! That’s why I ran out! Now I have no choice but to come find you and Qin Mubai!”
"You said Qin Mubai would have a way to solve the difficult problem at hand. Why are you so sure?"
"You don't have to ask, he can definitely do it! This guy has a lot of ideas, he must have a way to help me!"
"..." Li Ke was speechless and sighed in his heart: This silly girl has already begun to worship and rely on Qin Mubai... It's hopeless, she has already fallen in love with Qin Mubai, but she was just confused and didn't think clearly!
The moon and stars are sparse, under the sycamore tree.
Swords, swords, shadows and sparks shot out, and two strong figures were fighting against each other.
"Stop, stop fighting!" Qin Mubai jumped out of the circle and stopped the sword, and said with a chuckle, "Forget it, my sword skills are far inferior to your sword skills, and there is no chance of winning at all."
"That's not necessarily true. You have made rapid progress in the past few days. Moreover, when it comes to boxing, kicking, and horse fighting skills, I will lose even further. Your talent and understanding are much better than mine." Chen Yan also put away her sword and said softly. After taking a breath to calm down, he said with a relaxed smile, "If my master were alive, he would be willing to accept you as his disciple and teach you all his secret knowledge."
"Forget it, people like me can't concentrate on practicing martial arts." Qin Mubai smiled mockingly and walked to the table to pour tea. Chen Yan stepped forward and picked up the cup: "I'll do it. This kind of thing should be done by women."
"Woman?" Qin Mubai couldn't help but smile, "I forgot that you are a woman."
"..." Chen Yan was startled and immediately glared at Qin Mubai fiercely. She pushed a full cup of tea in front of him and spilled most of it: "It's poisonous! Drink it, drink it to death!"
