"Where did this troublesome boy come from? Get rid of him first!" The two people who were kicking the door immediately turned around to meet Li Dan.
Li Dan sneered, blocked the oncoming knife, and sideways dodged the spear.
I don't know if the guy was dizzy when he used the spear in this corridor. Anyway, the knife in Li Dan's backhand had already chopped off the head, and then the blade fell back and pierced the other person's waist and abdomen from the side.
One of the guards in front had fallen. When the four men heard the howling from behind, they immediately divided into two to block it. Li Dan took out another self-generated fire gun and fired. At such a close range, shooting two with one shot is a guaranteed deal!
The remaining two heard the roar behind them, looked back and were frightened. The injured guard took the opportunity to stab one person to death with his sword. The last one looked at Li Dan walking over and quickly threw away his weapon: "I, I surrender!"
"Are you okay? Can you tie him up?" Li Dan asked the guard.
"It's a minor injury." The guard didn't know who he was, but it was obviously from his side, so he quickly answered.
"I am Li Dan, the heroic cavalry captain. We came to escort you when we heard the fighting here. Where is the princess?" Li Dan asked.
The guard was surprised and quickly crossed his hands: "It turns out to be Li Sanlang and Mr. Li. I'm sorry, the princess is in that room." He pointed to the room where the two big men kicked the door just now.
"You're going to tie him up and help me guard the stairs. There's one of my men down there. If he can't guard it, you can come and let me know right away, okay?"
"Don't worry, sir, I'll save it!"
Li Dan held the knife behind his back and went to the door and knocked. Someone inside asked tremblingly: "Who is that person?"
"Li Dante is here to escort me. Is the princess okay?"
"Li Xiaoqi?" the girl asked in a panicked voice, "Where were those thieves outside the door just now?"
"Reporting to the princess, I captured one and the rest were killed."
Just as Li Dan finished his answer, shouts started again outside, and someone shouted: "Survey in, leave no one behind, and the reward for capturing or killing King Ding is five hundred taels of gold! I have to turn over every threshold and search it!"
Li Dan realized that the situation was serious, walked to the window and took a look, and saw Zhang Nao and three or five other guards resisting desperately at the door. When he looked into the courtyard, King Ding had disappeared.
At this time, Li Tiedao ran over from the other end of the corridor: "Sir, leave quickly! The thieves left and then rushed in. There are more than forty of them!"
"Where are the rest of the people?"
"They are all guarding the passage leading to the stables below. If we don't leave, they will block the passage and we won't be able to get out!"
"Go and see if there is anyone in each room. If you don't want to die, ask them to follow you!" Li Dan yelled and went back to the door to knock on the door: "Princess, leave quickly, the thief has come in again!"
"Li Xiaoqi, it's impossible!" A woman inside cried: "I don't know where I got the strength to push the table to the door, but now my hands are too weak to pull it!"
Li Dan was helpless. Thinking about it, they, weak women, had only gained the courage for a while, but when things were over and relaxed, wouldn't they be too weak? No wonder the man couldn't kick the door open. It turned out that there was something blocking it inside. "Is the door latch okay?" Li Dan asked.
"The door latch is no longer working. It has fallen off. It was blocked by the table!" Another woman said with a cry: "If another group of thieves comes, we will definitely die!"
"Stay back!" Li Dan turned around and saw Li Tiedao coming out with two or three maids and a nun, and told them to go downstairs first and follow the instructions of the person below to run back.
Then he handed the knife to Li Tiedao and said, "Be careful, the door is about to open!" After saying that, he stepped forward against the door, placed his left hand on the door frame, and pressed the door panel with his right hand to give it a try first.
Then he took a breath, let it sink into his dantian, and suddenly exerted his strength. There was a loud noise with the sound of wood breaking, and the door opened half a foot wide.
Li Dan pressed the door panel again, found the right position and gave it a hard slap. After a "click" sound, the door could no longer hold up and was already crumbling.
Li Dan pushed the door open further and realized that he had guessed correctly. The table leg happened to be stuck in a depression, so the door could not be opened. He pushed the table first and could not bear it and broke one of his legs. Then the palm hit him again. After breaking off the other two legs, the door was able to be pushed open.
Two waiters aged sixteen or seventeen
The woman stood there dumbfounded and watched him come in.
"Where's the princess?" Li Dan asked, pulling open the remains of the table. Then he followed the girls' gazes and saw the pale little girl on the bed, her eyes full of surprise. He immediately recognized her pair of small feet carved from white jade: that's it. she.
The sound of fighting outside the door became louder, and the guard's hurried voice came to mind: "Master, hurry up, they are coming!"
"Drag this broken table out and throw it to them!" Li Dan shouted, quickly walked to the altar table under the window, put the knife into its sheath, pulled out two short muskets and loaded them, and asked the two maids while doing it : "Is there anything you must bring? Take it with us and let's go!"
He stuck the blunderbuss in his waist, quickly came to the bed and bent down: "Your Highness, please come up, I will carry you out!" As he said this, he pulled off the curtain and twisted it several times.
Princess Miyun was stunned and immediately climbed onto his back. Li Dan asked a maid to come over and put a white fox fur cloak on her, and then helped to carry the curtain from behind and tie the princess to his back.
At this time, Li Tiedao jumped into the door to urge him. Li Dan asked two maids to go in front. One was holding clothes and carrying a baggage, and the other was holding a pipa.
"Everything else is burned!" Li Dan said viciously to the iron sword as he jumped out, then trotted with the princess on his back, and went down the stairs from the second floor of the main building, where he saw Zhang Bo standing guard.
Seeing them coming, Slender King Kong grinned, suddenly changed his expression and shouted: "Be careful!"
Li Dan ducked behind the pillars, and a big gun pierced the wall in front of him. "Bullshit!" Li Dan pulled out a short gun, opened the safety, and fired with a bang.
The guy who threw the gun screamed and fell on his back, and the girl behind also screamed in fright. The gangsters shouted: "There are firecrackers, there are firecrackers!" They all looked for shelter. Zhang Bo took the opportunity to cut off the barrel of the gun with his sword and shouted: "Quickly go!"
"Call your brother and get out!" After Li Dan said this, he glanced at the smoke upstairs and saw that it was no longer staying, and ran into the backyard. Gao Can stood in the backyard, holding a simple knife in his hand and calmly giving them directions.
Li Dan turned left and saw Huang Qin holding a knife and looking anxiously: "Oh, it's coming, hurry, hurry!"
"How many did you cum tonight?" Li Dan asked with a smile.
"Of the forty arrows, there are only six left, keep them for the last moment!" Huang Qin replied loudly.
Turning into another door, Lai Wubao and two guards came to meet him: "Sir, go in from there..."
"There's a thief!" a guard shouted, and then a black shadow jumped down from above, sparks flew, and the guard was hit by the opponent's force and fell ten feet away.
But the black shadow did not pursue him. Instead, he turned around and rushed towards Li Dan, shouting hoarsely: "Kill King Ding, kill King Ding!"
"Bang!" Li Dan's second blunderbuss fired.
The man threw himself to the ground, and the weapon in his hand fell to the ground with a thud. It turned out to be a short-handled hammer that was larger than his fist.
"Don't overestimate your capabilities!" Li Dan continued walking quickly while inserting a new bullet into the short gun. The two guards followed him closely, guarding the rear and retreating towards the assembly point.
"Your Highness, I tried my best...!" Lai Wubao made a retreating bamboo whistle and retreated. As he passed the black shadow, he suddenly heard him murmuring this sentence. Lai Wubao hesitated, then turned and walked towards the man in black on the ground.
It turns out that there is a secret door connecting this store to the house next to it.
As soon as Li Dan arrived, he immediately put the princess on his carriage, and then asked King Ding to dismount and get on.
"You can ride a horse alone," King Ding said.
"Your Highness has seen the gift given to the Queen Mother, and the carriage made by the minister is armored."
After hearing this, King Ding jumped off his horse and got into the sedan. Li Dan handed two short muskets in, showed him how to use them, and asked Ding Wang to take them with him for self-defense.
Then he asked King Ding to lend him his gold-embroidered cloak, and Li Dan got on King Ding's horse. The group opened the secret door and ran out into the night.
The thieves also intercepted on the outside, but obviously they didn't have many people.
Yang Dayi led his soldiers to clear the way, broke through two sieges in succession, and after killing more than a dozen thieves, the team finally broke out safely and ran for thirty miles in one breath before finally finding their way to a building.
Stop in front of the abandoned Taoist temple.
King Ding ordered him to rest and wait for his successor.
"It doesn't matter. They are all veterans who were trained as regimental officers. They will be fine." Li Dan walked to King Ding who was watching and said, "It will be dawn in an hour, and the thieves may not have dared to commit the crime in broad daylight. "
"What you said is true. But I was careless last night." King Ding smiled bitterly: "You are talking about a Bodhisattva running errands. In the end, it is still up to you, Li Sanlang, to save me. King Gu owes you a big favor!" After saying that, he bowed down solemnly.
"You can't do this! It's the right thing to do, and I don't dare to do it!" Li Dan hurriedly stepped aside, not daring to accept the courtesy.
At this time, Han Xian came over and said, "Your Highness, would you like to rest in the main hall for a while? It's very cold in the morning, so be careful of catching a cold."
King Ding nodded, and Li Dan took the cloak and handed it over. King Ding smiled and said, "Let's ride on horseback for the next journey. Don't let the guards think that I am scared of those thieves."
When the maids saw Li Dan, they immediately saluted and called him: "Master Li."
Li Dan smiled and asked, "How are you? Are you all okay? Have you been frightened by the thieves?" Everyone looked at each other shyly and smiled with their lips pursed.
Someone with a lively voice told him in a low voice: "We are fine, but grandma was so frightened that she is still trembling in the carriage."
"It's no wonder. She has lived in such a safe place all her life. How has she ever encountered such a vicious person?"
He suddenly thought of those subjugated kings and their families for some reason, and couldn't help but sigh softly: "Please inform me that I have offended you today. Li Dante is here to apologize to Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Princess Miyun heard the maid whispering at the door, pursed her lips and glanced at the Gundam figure, as if she said something. The maid returned quickly: "Li Xiaoqi, princess, please come over and talk."
Li Dan took a deep breath and walked over. He stood by the car door, cupped his hands and said his name. He heard someone say softly, "There are many people with mixed eyes, please get in the car and talk."
ah? Li Dan peeked around, and saw that this small area had been circled with a green oilcloth carried on the roof of the car. The guards not far away were standing with their faces facing away. How could there be "crowding and confusion"?
But the girl has spoken, and if you don't go up, wouldn't it be embarrassing? He reversed the car by himself, why didn't he dare to get on it?
Li Dan stepped into the carriage and saw her little feet slipping under her dress. She hid inside, thinking that luckily there was a carpet inside.
He sat down opposite and saluted the princess with his side face, his heart beating violently. Although I have met several girls in this era and got married, but the princess... after all, it was the first time, so it was still a bit uneasy.
"Today's matter is urgent and there is no time to discuss it. There are even many offenses. I hope Your Highness will forgive me!" he said.
The girl seemed to be smiling: "Young Master himself said it was an urgent matter. If I didn't understand, how could I have let you carry me away? In that situation, if I had been willful and frivolous and refused, wouldn't I have been asking for death? I didn't know why? "
When she said this, Li Dan suddenly felt relieved, nodded and said: "Fortunately, Your Highness is sensible and understands the general situation, it's not like that..." He suddenly hesitated whether it was appropriate to say this.
Miyun saw that he was halfway talking and asked, "How?"
"Oh, I mean, some noble people are difficult to serve."
"Hmph, don't think that I'm easy to serve. You might end up complaining a lot in the future!" After Miyun said this, he felt that something was wrong. The more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, but he couldn't control it. His face burned up involuntarily, and he hurriedly turned to the dark side. Hidden everywhere.
Li Dan misunderstood her and asked with concern: "Is it still a little cold in the car? Oh, time is tight, but I didn't have time to teach them how to use it."
After saying that, he pushed open the secret door under the seat opposite, took out a square copper-footed stove, turned around and took out a few pieces of silver charcoal and tinder from the secret door at the front of the car, lit it with a fire matcher, and placed a goose down-filled stove on top. Embroidered lotus flower anti-scalding mat.
He first placed a brown cushion in the corner of Miyun's seat, and then placed the foot stove and cushion on it by his ears. He clapped his hands with satisfaction: "Well, it's much better now. If you still feel cold, there is a silver hand stove below."
Then he whispered again
Nugnau told Miyun where there was hot water, wine and various dried fruits, where there was cold water and handkerchiefs for hand washing, and how to adjust the posture of the seat back and how to fold it into a bed.
"It's best for everyone to wear seat belts when the car is going fast. That's it. This way, you won't be afraid of falling or being injured due to bumps in the car. Even if the car rolls over, the person will not be too hurt..."
Princess Miyun was surprised to hear his continuous introduction, and occasionally asked questions or made confirmations. She had never thought that there could be so many tricks on a carriage.
When Li Dan showed her how to push open the hidden compartment above her head to reveal the glass skylight (an improvement after the Wu sisters were in danger), Miyun couldn't help it anymore and asked: "Master Li, did you come up with all this..." ?」
"Hey, how is this possible? Even if I thought of it, someone else would have to make it happen.
There are many people in the car factory, including carpenters, metal workers, leather workers, glass workers, and specialized people who design and manufacture these mats, cups, candles, lampshades, etc.
When a carriage is built, there are thousands of people working on it, so when the carriage is sold, these thousands of people can support their families, and they will not become thieves or become refugees. Do you understand this, Your Highness? ” Li Dan tried to speak as plainly as possible.
Miyun opened his eyes wide and nodded: "Oh, it turns out there is a lot of knowledge in this! Why don't Sanlang write it down so that everyone in the world can understand it, so maybe more people will follow your example.
Oh, no, this is your own secret to making money. It’s not easy to tell others, right? "
Li Dan laughed loudly: "Princess, that's not the case. As you said, this principle benefits the country and the people. Although many civil servants think that businessmen harm the country and pursue profit.
But this is to point out to the people of the world the principle of enriching the country and strengthening the army, so it is natural for me to write it down. Compared with the prosperity of the world, what is personal selfishness?
Only when the people live a prosperous life can the country become rich and powerful, and my own business can grow bigger.
It's like a fish raised in a pond. The fish can only grow when the pond is big. If it only lives in a bowl of clear water, it will never become a big fish in the river and sea...! "
Listening to his talk, the two of them gradually lost their initial awkwardness and restraint. Miyun found this tall and strong guy quite interesting.
Not only does he know a lot of things that he has never heard of, but he also understands a lot of truths that he has never heard of. He is both literary and martial, shy and bold. He is different from the brothers and masters he has met. There is such a... ...indescribably strange.
The conversation between the two gradually became more lively, starting from the carriage and talking about Europe and the West, and then about the many countries and customs of Europe and the West.
"What, you have Thai people there? No wonder you know so many things! What do they look like?" Miyun was very curious about this. In her opinion, it was incredible to travel thousands of miles to China.
"Your Highness, in fact, there have been Westerners from ancient times. They came to preach in the Tang Dynasty, but the number was very small..." Li Dan was about to continue talking with great interest, when suddenly a maid's voice outside said:
"Your Highness, King Ding Qiansui ordered someone to send a message. The people behind Duan have caught up and asked Young Master Li to come over. In addition, we will rest for a moment before setting off and continue on our way."
"I know." Miyun replied.
Li Dan smiled apologetically: "I have to go over there. Let's talk when we settle down. If His Highness is interested, we can talk. After saying that, he glanced outside, took out a few things from his arms, and put them under the corner of Miyun's skirt without saying a word. Let go, turn around and get out of the car.
"what is this? "Miyun lowered his head and looked, his cheeks turned red and his ears flushed. It turned out to be a pair of embroidered shoes and socks that he usually wears at home!
Damn Li Sanlang, he is actually sitting here talking without changing his expression, and he actually has this in his arms? When did he steal it? It must be when I lay on his back.
Hey, if a man keeps such a thing in his arms for so long, he is really going to die...!
She was coy and embarrassed here, but of course she was also a little secretly happy. She looked at her bare feet, gritted her teeth and quickly put them on.
Oh, it's better than bare feet. It's better for him to secretly send it back than for others to see it! Well, from now on I can only let him touch my things, don't
The man is not allowed!
Oh, no, isn't he a man? The little princess, who was only fourteen years old, was immediately confused.
