"Brother Prince! Are you saying that Brother Xiaoxuan has returned from the north?"
In the West Market of Chang'an City, a gorgeous carriage drove slowly forward along with the flow of people. In the carriage, a young girl with bright eyes and white teeth looked up at the young man in brocade clothes opposite and asked expectantly.
No need to guess, this girl and that boy are Chang Le and Li Chengqian!
As soon as the morning session was over, Changle sent someone to invite Li Chengqian. Yesterday, the two of them had made an appointment to leave the palace together today.
"Yes! That's right! Xiaoxuan went to court today! I heard that he returned to Yunshan last night!"
Li Chengqian nodded slightly and replied.
"Ah? Brother Prince, why didn't you tell me earlier? If I had known this earlier, I would have waited in the palace for Brother Xiaoxuan to come out together!"
Changle wrinkled his nose and said with regret.
Li Chengqian's eyes flashed and he asked meaningfully: "Chang Le, Xiaoxuan was left alone by his father after he went to court. Are you going to wait in the palace forever?"
"Of course... no! We left the palace today to go to Zuixian Tower to buy things for our mother. Anyway, Brother Xiaoxuan is back. We can meet him at any time if we want. Brother Prince, don't you think so?"
Changle hesitated for a moment and quickly changed his words.
After saying that, she couldn't help but patted her lapel, breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly praised herself for being smart, otherwise she would have fallen into the pit dug by Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian shook his head helplessly. He really wanted to test Chang Le's reaction just now, but now it seems... there is no need to try anymore! This little sister of mine has such complicated thoughts!
"Sir, that's the carriage!"
Under a tea shed ten feet away in front of the carriage, a big man whispered to the man in a bamboo hat sitting next to him.
"Are you sure the person sitting there is the current prince?"
Soon, a middle-aged man's voice came from under the bamboo hat.
"I am sure! I saw this carriage coming out of the palace, and I know that the soldiers and horses behind the carriage are all from the East Palace. The person sitting in the carriage must be the prince without a doubt!"
The big man in gray shirt quickly whispered.
"Okay~!"
The middle-aged man wearing a bamboo hat nodded, and then whispered excitedly: "Tsk tsk! What an unexpected surprise! I had already completed the dragon head mission and could go back immediately. Now, with this God-given opportunity, if the poor monk can... If the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty is captured, Li Shimin will definitely be afraid! Jie Jie~!"
"Sir, do you really want to take action here?"
The big man's face tightened slightly, then he approached the man in the bamboo hat and asked urgently.
"Hmph! What's going on here? The more people there are, the safer we will be! We will follow the plan given to you by the poor monk~!"
The man in the bamboo hat said coldly.
"Yes~!"
The big man responded, then turned and left.
On the street, the carriage Li Chengqian and Chang Le were riding in was still moving forward slowly. The pedestrians outside the carriage were bustling, chatting and laughing, which was very lively against the hard shouts of the vendors.
This is the busiest market of this era!
"Bang bang bang~!"
"Ah~! Help!"
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
Suddenly, there was a dull "bang bang" sound in the depths of the West Market, and then there was a commotion among the crowd. A big black cow was running desperately on the street. Pedestrians who had no time to run away were knocked away. Some pedestrians who were hung up by the horns even had their bodies pierced, and their blood was splashed on the spot. However, the pace of the big black bull did not slow down at all, and screams and howls merged into one. After a while, the West City The main street was in chaos, and what was even more terrible was that the big black bull was like a "desperate", running towards Li Chengqian's carriage without slowing down at all!
"Protect the prince!"
As the prince of the Tang Dynasty, it was impossible for Li Chengqian to leave the palace alone. The guards of the East Palace who followed Li Chengqian out of the palace soon noticed the commotion on the streets of the West City. Seeing that the big black bull was about to rush to their side, the guard leader Wu San quickly pulled out his waist knife and shouted loudly.
"Here!"
More than a dozen East Palace guards agreed in unison, then rushed to the carriage and stood tightly in a row holding Mo Dao.
"Brother Prince! What happened outside?"
The carriage stopped suddenly, and bursts of screams and howls suddenly came from outside the carriage. Changle was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he quickly took Li Chengqian's arm and asked.
Assassination! This is most likely an assassination!
Li Chengqian's face was as dark as water. After living in the palace for a long time, he smelled something unusual in an instant. He patted Chang Le's little hand and said in a deep voice: "Chang Le, you stay here, go out and have a look!"
Although Li Chengqian already had a bad premonition in his heart, he must stand up at this time, because if there is an assassin, he is probably coming for him. If he stays in the carriage, Chang Le will also be involved!
As the elder brother, Li Chengqian felt that he had the responsibility to protect his sister!
"Wu San! What's going on?"
After jumping off the carriage, Li Chengqian frowned and shouted in a deep voice.
"Your Highness! Get in the carriage quickly! A mad cow suddenly rushes in front of you!"
The carriage Li Chengqian was riding was a thick steel carriage specially made by Qiquge. Ordinary arrows could not penetrate it. At the critical moment, Wu San placed his hope on this heavy carriage, and then he shouted:
"Stop it!"
After that, Wu San held Mo Dao and took the lead in rushing towards the running big black bull. At this time, the big black bull was only four or five feet away from the carriage!
Some of the remaining soldiers quickly controlled the carriage to stop aside, while others followed Wu San in the charge.
The distance between the few people and the big black bull was getting closer and closer. Wu Sanneng became a guard of the East Palace, and his kung fu was quite good. When he was about to get close to the big black bull, he jumped into the air and flew to the big black bull. In the air, he raised the knife and lowered it, and Mo Dao slashed hard at the cow's neck!
Obviously Wu San also knew in his heart that if he directly chopped off the cow's head with Mo Dao, he would definitely not be able to chop it off, so he chose the relatively weak part of the big black cow!
"Pfft~!"
This is the sound of a sharp knife penetrating flesh.
The middle part of the Mo Dao in Wu San's hand was almost completely inserted into the big black cow's neck. Although the knife penetrated in, it did not cut off the big black cow's neck. In fact, in this case, one knife could To cut off the thick neck of the big black bull, it is estimated that at least a warrior at the peak of Qi transformation or the master level can do it!
"Moo~!"
Wu San's knife did not cut off the neck of the big black cow, but instead aroused the fierceness of the big black cow. The big black cow was completely in pain and turned into a mad cow. Its four big hooves kicked hard on the bluestone floor. Then he led Wu San and rushed towards the four or five oncoming East Palace guards!
"You evil beast! How dare you~!"
When Wu San saw this, he was filled with shock and anger. He pressed one hand on the handle of the knife and used the force to spin up and ride directly on the back of the bull. Then he pulled out the Mo Dao from the big black bull's neck and slammed it from the side. Stabbed the big black bull in the neck!
Although the "Laws of the Tang Dynasty" clearly stipulates that no one is allowed to kill farm cattle, but in the current situation, the big black cattle not only threaten the lives of ordinary people in the West City, but are also about to threaten the safety of Li Chengqian, Wu San has almost no choice Without any hesitation, he made an instant decision in his mind - kill the big black bull directly!
"Tsk~!"
This time, because Wu San was riding on the back of an ox, his wrists were easier to exert force, so this knife directly stabbed the big black bull's neck from top to bottom, and blood spurted directly along the black bull's neck. Come out and spray Wu San in the face!
"Moo~!"
The big black bull let out a mournful cry, finally stopped running and died on the spot!
At this time, the big black cow was less than ten feet away from the carriage!
Wu San, who was on the back of the cow, jumped to the ground before the big black cow fell to the ground, and then he finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, before he could finish breathing, he caught a glimpse of a piece of length tied to the tail of the big black cow on the ground. With the burning bamboo tube, Wu San's heart instantly rose to his throat, because he knew that the big black cow lying on the ground was not crazy, but someone was using the big black cow to create chaos!
"Quick! Protect Your Highness and the Princess!"
Wu San reacted and quickly pulled out the Mo Dao from the big black bull's neck and roared loudly.
But his reminder was too late. As soon as Wu San finished speaking, a tall man wearing a bamboo hat was flying towards the direction of Li Chengqian. The speed was so fast that Wu San had no time to react and could only watch helplessly. Watch the man put his hand on Li Chengqian's shoulder!
"How dare you! Why do thieves dare to commit murder in Chang'an City?"
Li Chengqian was slightly frightened when his shoulders were clamped, but his expression was still calm. He looked at the burly man next to him and scolded him coldly.
"Hmph! Chang'an City? This place will soon become our world! Hahaha!"
The man in the bamboo hat snorted coldly and laughed wildly.
Having said that, seeing Wu San and others rushing towards this side, the man in a bamboo hat waved his sleeves towards the stalls next to him, and the wooden frames, sheds, baskets and other things were carried away by his powerful energy. Among the East Palace guards, he tapped his toes, grabbed Li Chengqian and jumped up together, about to escape into the torrent of pedestrians!
"Stop! Put down the prince brother!"
At this moment, the curtain moved slightly, and a little girl in a pink palace dress jumped out of the carriage and shouted loudly to the man in a bamboo hat who had just jumped into the sky.
"Chang Le! Don't worry about me, brother! Go back quickly!"
Li Chengqian, who was caught in the sky, couldn't help but said anxiously when he saw Changle getting out of the carriage.
"Changle? Haha! I didn't expect good things to come in pairs. It seems that I am destined to return home with a full load today~!"
The man in the bamboo hat looked down at Chang Le, then at Li Chengqian who looked anxious, and then he chuckled proudly.
Then, the man in the bamboo hat came and came back again, grabbed Li Chengqian's shoulders and flew downwards, to be precise in the direction of Changle!
"Protect Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
Wu San was shocked and angry. He held the Mo Dao and flew up in the direction of the man in the hat. Then he raised the Mo Dao above his head and slashed hard at the man in the hat!
"Hmph~!"
The man in the bamboo hat sneered, then he took Li Chengqian's hands and turned slightly, facing Li Chengqian's body in the direction where Wu San's blade was going to chop!
"mean!"
Seeing this, Wu San was shocked. He quickly put away the Mo Dao, but at this time he was already in the air. He had no leverage to change direction, so he could only continue to fly in the direction of the man in the bamboo hat~!
"Death~!"
From the wide bamboo hat, a word like this floated out, and then the man in the bamboo hat stretched out his left palm and slapped Wu San hard on the chest!
"Wu San, be careful~!"
Li Chengqian was the closest to the man in the bamboo hat and the first to feel the movement of the man in the bamboo hat. He quickly reminded loudly.
But how fast is the man in the bamboo hat? When Li Chengqian finished speaking, that broad palm was firmly printed on Wu San's chest!
"Pfft~!"
Wu Sanchang vomited a mouthful of blood, and his whole body fell rapidly down like a kite with its string broken!
The blood floating in the air looked very sad when reflected in the morning sun!
"Protect the prince! Protect the princess! Go and get the reinforcements quickly!"
This is the death cry that Wu San made with all his strength before landing!
More than ten East Palace guards immediately swarmed in front of Changle with Mo Dao. In addition, there was another guard who rushed out of the crowd and ran to report the news!
"Hmph! Overestimating your own abilities~!"
The man in the bamboo hat snorted coldly, and then he picked up a wooden root on the ground with his toes. It was probably scattered by a street vendor in the previous chaos. Then, the man in the bamboo hat held a wooden stick and stepped forward directly. No movement was seen on his hands. , more than ten East Palace guards were all swept to the ground by him with wooden roots!
After knocking down all the East Palace guards, the man in the bamboo hat ducked back to Li Chengqian's side!
All of this was done in a blink of an eye, and all the guards in the East Palace fell! This is the absolute strength gap!
And Li Chengqian couldn't escape while the man in the bamboo hat took action, because the time interval was too short!
"It's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
"Someone wants to kidnap His Highness the Crown Prince!"
The West Market was originally a prosperous place. The commotion caused by the Big Black Bull just now caused many pedestrians to flee, but there were still some brave ones who did not go far. After seeing the scene on Li Chengqian's side, some people couldn't bear it. Zhu exclaimed.
Then, the people around him all reacted and surrounded the carriage!
"Hmph~! I advise you not to meddle in other people's business!"
The man in a bamboo hat who was walking in the direction of Changle paused slightly, looked at the crowd that was gradually surrounding him, and said coldly.
After that, he ducked in front of Chang Le. Chang Le had no time to react before he was caught by the man in the bamboo hat.
"Let me go! Let me go! You are a heinous villain. If you dare to commit murder in Chang'an City, my father will not let you go!"
His shoulders were grabbed by someone's hands. Changle wanted to struggle, but found that his whole body could no longer exert any strength. The little girl protested loudly out of fear and atmosphere.
"Hmph! You two, brother and sister, just go on a journey with the poor monk!"
The man in the bamboo hat hummed in a low voice, and then prepared to carry Li Chengqian and Changle brother and sister away from this place, but things backfired...
"Let... let go of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Princess~!"
The man in the bamboo hat suddenly felt his legs sink. When he looked down, he saw a man covered in blood hugging his legs!
