While he was talking, the sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded outside Huangji Gate. As he gradually came to the door, the sound of horse hooves became louder. We immediately became alert. This is a forbidden area of the palace. Who dares to run wildly? We looked at each other, and I suddenly felt that I had no time to delay, so I pulled out my sword and shouted: "Alert!" Twenty-eight of his men immediately gathered on the main road. I saw that the emperor was behind me, still talking to them leisurely, Bracing his scalp, he hurried over, knelt down on one knee, bowed deeply and said: "Zhang Ying, the commander-in-chief of the Jinyiweiyi Luan Division, was ordered to guard Nangong. Someone from the palace is riding in front of him. Please come back to the palace!" The emperor said, "Oh." He made a sound, seemed to look at me, said no more words, but still talked to the Marquis.
The sound of the horse's hooves became louder and louder, and he had already broken in. You must know that the Meridian Gate is the most strictly guarded, and Gu Dashou is in front. How could he let someone in? This person must have great kung fu and break through many obstacles. I became more and more nervous, but I still cared. Not too much. After saluting, he called Ning Boyang and Hardy to stand in a row with their fans turned over to block the intruders.
The visitor was riding a dazzling white horse, with a short attendant following behind him. The horse's hooves landed on the gold bricks on the ground, and its cry was clear. I jumped out, spread out my arms, and shouted: "It is strictly forbidden to gallop in the forbidden area of the palace. Anyone who violates the order will be killed without mercy. Who dares to gallop on a horse?" Get off the horse!" My voice was extremely loud, and there was a faint echo. The man didn't expect that I would come out to stop him, and he shouted loudly. He was startled, and suddenly reined in the reins. The white horse neighed, and its hoofs were raised. Before I could speak again, , the riding whip had been whipped with a whirring sound, I ducked away, the riding whip made a crisp sound, whirring, it was three whips, I dodged over, held the riding whip with my backhand, and tried to pull the person on the horse. , that man was also very strong, I pulled him a few times, but he didn't move at all. Just as I was about to increase my strength, the short fat man suddenly rushed over, pulled out a short knife and started to chop. In the palace, no one is allowed to bring equipment except us, the royal guards. I became more and more nervous, thinking, could there really be an assassin? Not daring to be negligent, I hurriedly loosened my riding crop, pulled out my sword, took a stance, and waited for the opportunity to use my sword. That man's martial arts was not weak, but he didn't expect me to fight back. After a slight hesitation, I forced him to retreat. He had been watching and watching, and suddenly said: "Stop, who are you? How dare you prevent His Highness from returning to the palace!"
After hearing this, I was surprised and looked carefully. The person on the horse was a young man about my age. He was thin and well-dressed, but he had a wicked smile on his face. He looked at me with a lot of mockery in his expression. This person dared to call himself His Highness, could he be the Prince of the East Palace? I suddenly thought about it and screamed in my heart, but I still replied: "Zhang Ying, the general banner of Yiluan Division! I was ordered to guard Nangong!" The young man chuckled and said, "I must have He's Lao Luo's subordinate, and his skills are pretty good! It's just that he has no eyes for Taishan. You don't even know me, the prince. Are you new here?" Many little father-in-laws came around the young man at some unknown time. After listening to the young man's words, they burst into laughter. laugh.
I hurriedly sheathed the sword, forced myself to do it, bowed deeply, and said, "Go back to Your Highness, I have just entered the palace and don't know His Highness the Crown Prince!" The Crown Prince chuckled and said, "You don't even know me. So I entered the Yiluan Division, and when I came here, my group of people stopped me. How did you get here? How did Lao Luo train you?"
I secretly screamed in my heart. It was my first time entering the palace and it felt quite new. I didn’t want to cause a big disaster. If I didn’t tell myself that I was going to be doomed, I was afraid that all my brothers would suffer. I mustered up the courage, cupped my hands and said, "What happened today was all done by my subordinates in accordance with the palace rules. I don't want to offend His Royal Highness, but it has nothing to do with my subordinate brothers. I will accept the punishment voluntarily and hope that Your Highness will forgive my subordinate brothers!" The prince said "Oh", looked at us and said: "In the forbidden area of the palace, every move is watched by someone. If I were an assassin, the police would have been called." Then he turned to the short fat man and said: "This boy Shicai Your sword skills look good. Li Risheng, you are a tutor in Prince Ning's Mansion. Why don't you compete with him?" The short fat man kept looking at me and smiled and said, "Your Highness, can you use the sword?" The prince said "Yes" , nodded, and the short fat man walked over with a sinister smile.
The prince said to me again: "This is the instructor from Prince Ning's mansion. Prince Ning said he was very good at martial arts and wanted him to be my bodyguard. I think you are also quite capable. Now I order you to compete with him in martial arts!" I responded hurriedly! After making a sound, the prince smiled and said, "I want to see who Lao Luo arranged! Remember, if you lose, Lao Luo will get out!"
My heart tightened, and I said: "I obey, but it's just His Royal Highness. This is a forbidden area of the palace. No one is allowed to use weapons without permission to disturb the Emperor. I can't afford to suffer! Please take back your order," the Prince said. Shaking his head, he said: "It's okay, you can do whatever you want. If anything happens, I'll take care of it!" Li Risheng slowly pulled out his sword and said, "King Ning presented a horse to His Highness, Your Highness. Try your feet, you don't have eyes and you dare to block me, let's see how I deal with you!"
After saying that, he raised his knife and started to chop. The prince had already spoken to the extreme, and I couldn’t care too much. Before his blade fell, the Xiuchun knife had already been unsheathed, blocking his knife, and said: "Let’s stop it! Don’t hurt me." You are so friendly!" Li Risheng sneered and said, "You are a little kid, how can I still be afraid of you?" As he said that, he pushed hard and we separated on both sides.
I saw him dancing the knife like a flower, which made many people applaud. The prince also opened his eyes wide and stared, while Hardy and others looked at me nervously. I took a deep breath and thought to myself that this was a forbidden area in the palace. We should fight quickly, not for a long time, so as not to cause trouble, so I decided to use the free sword technique of Si Sanren.
Li Risheng suddenly moved forward, and a silver light came towards him. I moved my right foot lightly, turned the sword into a sword, and slashed his wrist. He was taken aback, and returned the sword with his backhand to block the Xiuchun sword, but I used my strength to hit him. Force, the moment the two knives collided, I turned my wrist, and the Xiuchun knife slid down against the blade surface. I heard a sound of "Ah", and at the same time, the steel knife fell to the ground. The Xiuchun knife had already hit his wrist. Fortunately, I didn't. Use too much force or his hand will be cut off, but it will also be bloody.
Li Risheng covered his wrist, his face was pale, and he looked at me with some disbelief, and said: "Did you use sword skills?" I nodded, and the prince was already laughing and applauding.
Li Risheng seemed to be unwilling to accept it and said: "Your kung fu is too evil, I am too careless." I put the knife in the sheath, cupped my hand and said: "This is the palace, you are not allowed to use swords and guns without permission. Please forgive me for any offense! In addition, Outsiders are not allowed to bring weapons inside."
When the prince heard this, he said displeasedly: "Don't be nagging about such a trivial matter. I think you are quite capable, and you have hurt Prince Ning's people. What should I do with you?" I was stunned and thought to myself: " You arranged the competition, why did you blame me for hurting someone?" But he couldn't refute, so he had to say: "I have no intention of offending, I am just doing things according to the law, please forgive me, Your Highness!"
The prince chuckled, pointed his riding crop, and said, "You are so brave!"
Just at this moment, a group of people ran over panting. Among the crowd was Eunuch Zhang Yong, and the leader was an old eunuch with a pair of eagle eyes, which was very scary. He looked around us and already knew what was going on. He just coughed lightly. With a sound, Eunuch Zhang had already hurried up to me, raised his hand and slapped me in the face, saying: "How dare you, Zhang Ying, how dare you stop His Highness the Crown Prince and why you don't kneel down to apologize!"
The slap was loud. It was the first time in my life that I had been slapped. My face was burning. I was really ashamed. Eunuch Zhang had murderous look in his eyes. I quickly knelt down, and Ning Boyang and others also knelt down.
"Hey, does Eunuch Zhang know this kid?" The old eunuch suddenly laughed, but his voice was cold. Eunuch Zhang said: "Eunuch Liu, he is the kid in Jinyiwei, and he is also my nephew. He has no eyes. , you deserve death for stopping His Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, just watch and be disappointed!" Eunuch Liu snorted and said in a long voice: "Oh, he is from his own family, forget it!" A middle-aged eunuch smiled and said: "How can you break the rules in the palace! Zhang Zhong, for the sake of Eunuch Zhang, give this boy a few slaps! Let him learn a lesson!" Eunuch Liu said "Eunuch Qiu, why is this necessary? I am a newbie and I don't know the prince. It is natural." Eunuch Zhang said hurriedly: "Everything will be handled in accordance with the palace rules. Zhang Ying has committed the crime of disrespect, even if he is executed, It's also reasonable." Eunuch Liu glanced at the prince who was gloating about his misfortune and said, "Don't say it so evilly. The prince can't be so cruel. Seeing this, our family will do what Eunuch Qiu wants to do as a warning to others. Please be careful in the future. !Zhang Zhong, go!" One person responded and walked up to me.
This person was born with a strong back and strong waist, and his eyes were bright. I looked up at him and then at Eunuch Zhang. Eunuch Zhang had an expressionless face. Although I knew I had made a mistake, I was really not convinced. But at this time, no one was interceding for me anymore, and I felt a little angry. Then Zhang Zhong walked over to I came closer, put his hand on my shoulder with a smile, and said, "Your surname is also Zhang. After all, we are still a family! You have some abilities, don't worry, our family will not destroy you." His words sounded kind, but I already felt that he was squeezing my bones hard. I didn't dare to exert force, but the pain came immediately.
At this time, someone behind him suddenly said: "Do you think he did something wrong?"
