Several people were just silent.
In this lakeside town, two parties, no, three parties are looking at each other here. When they are waiting to see how big Mr. Xue and Miss Li can explode, Mr. Xue looks at Li Xiaoheng. There was no sign of surrendering to oneself at all. Instead, there was a feeling of a dead end, and I couldn't help but smile.
"I'll give you one last chance, Li Xiaoheng, what will you choose now? Will you obey me and be my concubine, or will you fight me to the death?"
Just the fact that your former head of the Li family and the previous crown prince, no, the fact that the former crown prince Li Jiancheng's subordinate officials were uncles and brothers, can make your Li family irreversible.
It just so happens that this new county magistrate has shortcomings. If I expose this matter, hehe, just think about the consequences. "
Mr. Xue directly revealed what he knew, and Li Xiaoheng instantly turned pale.
"You know all about this? But don't think about making things difficult for me! Humph!"
Mr. Xue looked at Li Xiaoheng gritting his teeth and smiled indifferently.
"If there is anything I don't know, if you don't want others to know, then don't do it. If you do such a thing and still pretend to be innocent here, it really brings shame on our Lianhu County." Yes. Or just obey me?"
"You...shameless!"
Just when Li Xiaoheng was gritting his teeth and saying this to Mr. Xue, he heard Mr. Xue's expression change. Li Xiaoheng's face changed, and finally he said to those who were following him.
"Uncles, our Li family is sorry for you. I said, even if I die, I will not let this lake fall into his hands."
Just when Li Xiaoheng said this, Mr. Xue chuckled, "You want to die? Do you think they will get rid of everything after you die? They are all connected with the newly appointed crown prince Li Jiancheng. As long as I go back and talk to the county Let me tell you, oh, just thinking about it makes me wonder how the county magistrate will reward me."
Mr. Xue is very shameless.
"In the end what you want?"
In the end, Li Xiaoheng relented and asked Mr. Xue fiercely because her uncle was here.
Mr. Xue shook his head, "What don't you want? Didn't I say it? If you become my concubine, the entire Li family will be merged into my Xue family."
After he finished speaking, Li Xiaoheng's originally bright eyes seemed to be stained by something, and his face was ashen. Seeing that he had changed dramatically from life to death, he might do something stupid.
Seeing this, Zhai Peng couldn't stand it anymore.
"What do I think this is? It turns out that you are just coveting someone else's beauty and wealth, and you are threatening someone here who has long since died. You are a beast, you are really a beast!"
Zhai Peng saw clearly what was going on, and he made a rumor here, but it made the person in front of him angry.
"Boy, be careful that trouble comes from your mouth."
After Zhai Peng said this, Li Xiaoheng suddenly looked at him gratefully, looking a little strange, and Zhai Peng also looked at her for a moment, and Zhai Peng suddenly became like Brother Pig.
"What a beauty!"
Li Xiaoheng didn't feel any embarrassment when he heard this, or showed any other signs, he just lowered his head again stupidly.
Seeing someone making sarcastic remarks in front of her, Li Xiaoheng didn't make any decision. Mr. Xue gave her time to think about it, but instead stepped forward to embarrass Zhai Peng.
"What are you doing? How dare you watch the fun here?"
"What do they do? Aren't they the helpers you hired?"
Someone on Li Xiaoheng's side shouted like this, and Mr. Xue snorted coldly.
"Help? When do we need help? Our Xue family can make your Li family unable to lift their heads, so we still need help?"
Mr. Xue said this arrogantly, and everyone felt that they had misunderstood Zhai Peng and the others, and another slightly older old man said.
"They are wandering students who came to Beijing to take the exam. Don't mess around."
""Oh, he is a student who is going to Beijing to take the exam. What a coincidence, what a coincidence. I am going to get married this year and take Li Xiaoheng as my concubine. I am also going to Beijing to take the exam. After drinking the wedding wine, how about we go together? Maybe they all gain fame at the same time, which would be a great story at that time. "
Mr. Xue said proudly here, while Zhai Peng spread his hands.
"With your style, if you want to take the imperial examination in Chang'an City, you might be robbed before you get halfway."
Zhai Peng said this, but Mr. Xue was very angry.
"You...what do you do? You actually slandered us like this. I kindly invited you to have a drink. You just don't appreciate it, but you are so unreasonable?"
"I'm not waiting for anything, why can't I just tell the truth? What's more, we are not good at drinking."
Zhai Peng said indifferently to Mr. Xue's difficulties.
"Very good! It seems that if I don't teach you a lesson, you don't know the difference between superiority and inferiority, and you don't respect others? Come on, take down these wandering students first."
Mr. Xue will attack regardless.
"Which of you dares?"
When Mr. Xue's servant wanted to step forward and take down more than ten people of Zhai Peng to vent his anger, Wang Ergou stepped forward and shouted loudly, and at the same time, he drew out the sword from his waist. , this group of people suddenly stopped walking.
"Are you still carrying weapons?"
Mr. Xue, who was riding on a tall horse, said nonchalantly, but then pointed at them in an instant, "You are dead. You dare to use Tang Army's military weapons. How do you want to die? Tell me, I will give you a good laugh first." , when the province was handed over to the hands of the county magistrate, it was impossible to survive or die."
Seeing Mr. Xue speaking so politely, Zhai Peng smiled gracelessly.
"You have some knowledge. You know that this is the Tang Army's standard weapon. In this case, brothers, please show it."
After Zhai Peng said something, the remaining people all took out their weapons from hidden positions. Looking at the identical Tang Army standard weapons, Mr. Xue laughed loudly.
"It's really interesting. Not only did we find the remnants of Li Jiancheng today, but we also found you people. Whether you are deserters or rebels, this time it can be said to be a double happiness. After I deal with you, I will go to these famous beauties from all over the country. Li Xiaoheng, just thinking about it, my life has reached its peak."
But after Mr. Xue finished speaking, the younger brothers next to him were still looking at the group of knife-wielding men, staring at them eagerly and not daring to take advantage of them. Mr. Xue shouted.
"What's going on with you? Come forward and capture them for me. After capturing them, I will reward you heavily."
There must be brave men under great rewards.
Mr. Xue was here trying to step forward and capture this group of people, but Zhai Peng was a little unhappy.
"It's really hard for you to give us this name and that name every day. Let me drag this guy over first and give me a beating. If something happens, I'll bear it. I can't stand it anymore. Let's bear it on our heads. ."
After these words, the people who originally wanted to rush forward were about to take action, but suddenly they all stopped and turned to look at Zhai Peng, as if you were a weakling and wanted to let your superiors handle this matter.
Seeing him like this, Zhai Peng was embarrassed here.
“This is for sure, we must do this.
Don't look at me like this, I'm just a dick.
The backer opposite him is a top one! "
Although what Zhai Peng said was unclear, these people all understood that the Lianhu County magistrate was a middle-lower county magistrate from the seventh rank, and he, the Zhechongfu captain, was from the seventh rank, and was just half a step shorter. He was a little speechless.
But right now Mr. Xue was shouting here, asking his subordinates to come forward and capture Zhai Peng and the others no matter what, and bring them to the county government office to add credit to the county magistrate and give himself a little more say. At this time, Zhai Peng sighed.
"Brothers, it's too late to say anything now. We have to fight them off first, wait until we have communicated with our superiors, and then make a decision. We can't let them collide with us."
Xu Yunyan once taught them how to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger. Zhai Peng also had a plan in mind. It would be fun if he could pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger once.
After Zhai Peng spoke again, his soldiers hurriedly set up a small military formation here and stood ready.
Those servants of the Xue family who had filled up their numbers were now a little embarrassed. They had no weapons, so they rushed forward only to die.
Mr. Xue saw that his people did not dare to move forward here, and suddenly looked at Li Xiaoheng.
"Li Xiaoheng, how dare you harbor them? Just wait, I will go back and report to the county magistrate now, and ask the magistrate to arrange for the county captain to lead troops to capture you. Then you will regret it."
Mr. Xue said such harsh words, arranged for most of his men to confront Zhai Peng and the others here, and then quickly rode towards the county seat on his very agile war horse that he bought from who knows where.
As soon as Mr. Xue left, Li Xiaoheng looked at them and said, "Young masters, please leave if you can. I, the Li family, never thought that we would end up in such a bad situation."
Li Xiaoheng is still here thinking about Zhai Peng and the others, which makes Zhai Peng even more moved.
"Miss Li, you don't have to worry about him. If he really takes advantage of others and makes him unable to bear the burden, wouldn't he be just a small county magistrate? When we come up, let alone a county magistrate, how about a state governor? ?”
What Zhai Peng said here was very powerful, and everyone looked at him and couldn't help but shake their heads.
"Yes, if there is no problem, your Highness the Crown Prince is still His Majesty after all. If he comes, it doesn't matter whether he is the governor or a senior official of Jiannan Road. But now, one moment and another moment ."
When these people said this, Zhai Peng chuckled and did not explain too much to them. Instead, he packed his things and was really ready to leave. However, when he left, Li Xiaoheng's eyes flashed with surprise.
So decisive? And they still have to pack their few packages. The bulging items in the packages look like dry food, aren't they? I have sent you so much dry food, do you still care about this dry food?
But just as they were preparing here, whether by chance or something, a group of people rushed over in the distance.
Seeing the cavalry with them, Zhai Peng and the others cheered.
"Could it be that our people are here?"
It's just that when he said this just now, he turned around and looked where he was, where was one of their people? It was Mr. Xue who came with a few men wearing Tang army armor on war horses. Behind these few people were a sparse group of Tang soldiers. Just looking at the Tang army who could not stand up straight and walked in a hurry, Zhai Peng couldn't help but complain.
"Where did the Tang Army come from? This can still be called an army. It's just a bunch of rabble. If our superiors saw such a scene, we would have to skin them!"
But when Zhai Peng was chatting with his people here, Li Xiaoheng's expression changed drastically.
"No! That's the county captain. The county captain has brought people here. You go, you go quickly. If you don't leave, you won't be able to leave."
