Li Shimin's mind was moved, and he was about to ask more questions when he heard the sound of rapid horse hooves coming from behind him.
Ta da da, da da da!
"His Royal Highness King Qin!"
A loud voice came from far and near, until it was in front of everyone.
The person who came was wearing armor and riding a tall horse. He looked quite heroic!
"Reinforcements...reinforcements are coming!"
When the prison officer who was violently beaten by Yuchi Gong saw the person coming, the despair in his eyes instantly turned into hope. His voice was hoarse and he said excitedly,
"Sir, the King of Qin instigated thieves to rob prisoners. He is plotting rebellion. He is plotting rebellion!"
"My lord! Make the decision for the little one..."
However, his cry was clearly understood the next second.
"General Chang He, the last general of the right prison gate, by your Majesty's order, pardons His Highness for all his faults!"
Chang He knelt on one knee with bright eyes,
"Your Majesty has ordered us to return to Chang'an. We will discuss important matters with His Majesty. Please enter the city and return to your residence to recuperate and wait for the Holy News."
The prison officer's eyes widened in disbelief.
He never expected that what was waiting for him was not a rescue force, but an imperial edict to pardon King Qin!
How can this be……
His Highness the King of Qi clearly said that this time he could completely break the back of the King of Qin and wanted him to be "well served" on the road.
But we haven't even arrived at the jail yet, so we're letting him go?
He can't accept it!
"Conspiracy against your mother's legs!"
Cheng Yaojin took the opportunity to lift up a big flying kick and kicked the prison officer. His already tattered clothes were ripped apart and turned into pieces.
"ah!"
The prison officer cried out in pain.
Suffering a double physical and psychological blow, he completely passed out!
"snort!"
Cheng Yaojin clapped his hands and finally let go of his bad breath.
On the other side, Li Shimin quickly stepped forward and helped Chang He up.
"General Chang came to deliver the order in person?"
Li Shimin brushed the messy hair from his face, cupped his hands and said,
"General, please get up. It's been a hard journey."
Chang He stood up slowly and couldn't help but show concern when he saw Li Shimin's sloppy and haggard appearance.
"Your Highness...you have suffered!"
He said angrily,
"With your status and merit...how could they treat you like this?"
"Someone must be causing trouble!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chang He walked up to the guards, grabbed one of them by the collar and ordered:
"Even your Majesty would never treat King Qin so cruelly."
"Who gave you the courage to abuse His Highness the King of Qin?!"
"Come here, lock up these crazy gangsters below! Let your Highness handle it!"
After giving an order, the Imperial Guards behind them rode forward and surrounded them, all of them looking evil.
Those who can become the Forbidden Army are mostly the elites who have conquered the world before.
Most of these elites had made military exploits under Li Shimin and were considered to be the old troops of the King of Qin.
Now that they saw King Qin being humiliated to this extent, they were also furious in their hearts!
"Don't dare, don't dare! I, we..."
Several of the guards' legs were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, and they couldn't speak clearly.
"General Chang, forget it."
Li Shimin waved his hand and said softly,
"These people are not very hostile to me, they are just carrying out errands according to the order."
"Only him."
He pointed at the unconscious prison officer beside the official road.
"How about please leave him to me?"
Hearing this, Chang He nodded cheerfully:
"But it's up to His Highness! Even if he is executed, I don't think His Majesty will blame you."
"After all, the huge stakes now have to be borne by you, Your Highness, King Qin!"
Li Shimin looked surprised.
"What do you think?" Although he knew in his heart, he still pretended not to know at this moment.
"well!"
Chang He sighed softly, cupped his hands and said,
"The weather is hot. I will escort you back to your hometown and talk to you along the way. How about it?"
"Your Highness, please mount your horse!"
After he finished speaking, he actually held the reins himself and gave up his mount to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin readily agreed and then gave Xu Fenglei a look.
Xu Fenglei stared at Chang He, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and then nodded towards Li Shimin.
This General Chang He seems to have a great affection for Li Shimin...
Coming to the point, isn’t this coming?
"drive!"
Li Shimin raised his whip and gave a sharp shout, as if he wanted to release all the repression he had been feeling for the past two days!
Chang He and the imperial guards followed closely behind.
As for the people in Tiance Mansion, they all came on foot and had no horses to ride, so they naturally stayed behind to deal with the funeral arrangements.
"Respect virtue and know integrity."
Xu Fenglei watched Li Shimin leave, turned around and ordered,
"Put that madman on your back. Don't kill him. I'll keep him of great use."
"Yes! Everything depends on Mr. Da's orders!" The two military generals were beaming and said, "Sir is really a god, we are really convinced this time!"
All the confidants in Tiance Mansion also bowed their hands from the bottom of their hearts, with sincere respect on their faces.
Ever since Li Shimin's accident, Xu Fenglei has been their anchor! Every word is reassurance for them!
And he did not disappoint everyone. He made every effort and finally brought His Highness King Qin back without any danger.
After this battle, Xu Fenglei's prestige in Tiance Mansion will rise to another level.
"You are all heroes among men. If I were incompetent, I would not be worthy of working with you."
Xu Fenglei smiled slightly and said,
"Go ahead."
The two military generals cupped their hands, carried the unconscious prison officer, and headed towards Chang'an City.
Xu Fenglei turned to look at the remaining three people.
"As for you guys..."
He said slowly.
Giggle!
Bang bang bang!
"Spare your life, spare your life!"
The teeth of the three guards began to chatter violently again, and they knelt on the ground and kowtowed crazily.
"Although you didn't help Zhou to commit evil, you probably didn't stop him along the way, let alone help His Highness the King of Qin!"
Xu Fenglei said coldly,
"Now that the Turks are invading, the safety of the Tang Dynasty rests on the King of Qin! If we kill you here, the emperor will not even say no!"
Three people: "!!!"
Hearing these words, they were almost scared to death!
"But since His Highness has spoken and will not argue with you, I will spare your lives."
Xu Fenglei snorted coldly,
"Remember, it was the King of Qin who was kind enough to forgive you!"
"You should keep this kindness in mind. If the King of Qin finds you useful in the future..."
Bang bang bang!
"Thank you, Your Highness, King Qin, for not killing me. Thank you, Your Highness!"
The leading prison officer had his head smashed and said hurriedly,
"We will definitely remember this kindness and never forget it! If King Qin needs it, we will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
The three of them swore several poisonous oaths with extremely sincere expressions, which finally made Xu Fenglei's expression soften.
"If you truly obey the oath, with the heart of King Qin, I will not treat you badly."
Xu Fenglei waved his hand and said,
"Xuanling, Junji, please take them back to Chang'an and send them to Jingzhao Mansion to explain the situation."
The two nodded in agreement and led the three people who expressed their gratitude to Chang'an.
"Mr. Da, why should such a humble official be so polite to them?"
Changsun Wuji came forward and said in confusion,
"Even if I kill him, it doesn't matter!"
