By decree.
Du Zhongkang keenly caught these two words, and his face, which was originally calm and calm, immediately changed.
There are several other people who also captured these two words. They are all descendants of top aristocratic families such as the Wei family, the Cui family, and the Dou family.
Although most of them are playboys, they are naturally sensitive to court matters.
"I'll go." In a blink of an eye, one hand grabbed Li Xuan's waistband that was thrown on the table.
A young man wearing a black brocade robe with a stern face walked out from the side, clutching his waistband.
He cupped his hands to Li Xuan and said, "Dou Xiao of Chang'an has met the King of Nanchang."
"Dou Shibalang, what do you want to do?" Du Zhongkang grabbed Dou Xiao's wrist fiercely, his face turned terribly ugly for a moment.
"What to do?" Dou Xiao looked at Du Zhongkang in surprise, shook off his palm, and said with a frown: "Of course it's a meritorious service. He assisted in the arrest of Tubo Jingzuo. Tang Lu has made a difference, so why not go?"
After saying that, Dou Xiao subconsciously looked at Li Xuan.
Li Xuan nodded directly and said: "Tang Lu did have merit, but the merit of reporting is not as good as the merit of arresting people. Let others do the reporting. You accompany me to arrest people."
Dou Xiao was stunned for a moment, then he became happy, cupped his hands and said: "Follow the order."
Li Xuan turned around and looked at Li Xian, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, please stay here. The guards of the British Palace will obey orders. Anyone who rushes to the building will be hunted and killed."
"Here!" came the message from a dozen gray-clothed guards who appeared from behind the pillars and curtains, and raised their hands directly to Li Xuan with solemn expressions on their faces.
Li Xian finally reacted, looked at Li Xuan, and asked with astonishment on his face: "Uncle Wang, are you really doing something meticulous?"
"Yes!" Li Xuan nodded seriously, and finally warned: "Your Highness, please send someone to keep an eye on this Du Erlang. If he runs away, I will have no choice but to ask His Majesty to issue an order to go to the main residence of the Du family in the south of the city to look for him. .”
As soon as Li Xuan's words came out, Du Zhongkang's expression couldn't help but change.
After Li Xuan said this, if he dared to run away, it would be tantamount to trapping the family into injustice.
Du Zhongkang was able to open Jiangqiu Garden because he relied on the power of his family to open it, and he had to pay money to the family every month.
If he was really involved in the details and ran away, the first person who couldn't let him go would be the Jingzhao Du family.
At this time, Li Xuan slowly stood up, looked at the people around him, leaned the eight-sided Han Sword scabbard on the low table in his hand, and said loudly: "You are all descendants of the Chang'an family, and now you have the opportunity to serve the country. , to be loyal to the country, I think your elders will be extremely happy if they know that you have made meritorious service for this. Of course, if there is anyone who has no fame and fortune, just pretend that I have not said anything."
How could they not be interested in fame and fortune? They seemed to be playboys. They accompanied Li Xian to misbehave every day, just because they were in an awkward position at home.
Either the concubine or the legitimate second son, who was regarded as the idle chess piece in the family and bet on Li Xian.
But even so, they will still have the opportunity to serve as officials in the future. If they can have the opportunity to make meritorious deeds, their future official career will at least be much smoother.
Even if you have a higher starting point, you can easily surpass countless people.
Even if you can leave a good impression in the eyes of the King of England and the King of Nanchang now, then your future will be prosperous.
"Okay, leave one person to deliver the message to Qianniu Guard, and everyone else will follow me." Li Xuan gathered her thoughts, bowed to Li Xian, and walked out the door.
After just two steps, Li Xuan grabbed the greeter on the side and said coldly: "You, lead the way to the next door, the Immortality Pavilion."
As soon as the words "Eternal Life Pavilion" came out, Du Zhongkang's face immediately turned pale, and his whole body instantly became a little unsteady.
Du Zhongkang raised his head with some difficulty, and then when he raised his eyes, he saw Li Xian's cold and angry eyes.
…
Li Xuan stood in front of the Immortality Pavilion, Li Zhu stood on his left, Dou Xiao stood on his right, and five guards from the Nanchang Prince's Palace stood behind him.
Under the building walls on both sides, there were several disciples from each family, vigilant with swords in their hands, ready to rush in at any time.
The building door was ajar, and there was silence inside, as if there was no one there.
Li Xuan knew that this was because when they surrounded this place before, the people inside had heard the noise.
However, both sides of the Immortality Pavilion are occupied by powerful families. The movement here has already alerted them. If they try to break in, they will only offend more people and make it harder for them to escape.
Opposite the Changsheng Pavilion, there is a fierce Cuju competition going on. The Jingqiu Garden has already stipulated that no one is allowed to disturb the Cuju competition while Cuju is being played. Anyone who violates this will be directly disabled by the guards inside.
Li Xuan turned sideways, looked at the welcoming guests, and asked with an indifferent expression: "Do you know who is here?"
Although the welcoming face looked ugly, he still held up his hands and said, "They are a group of merchants from the Western Regions. They seem to be people from the tribes of the Western Turks."
Western Turks, how come they are from Western Turks?
Everyone present heard what Yingke said and looked at Li Xuan in surprise.
Although the Western Turks were destroyed in the early years, it was only the destruction of the country. Countless remaining tribes still survive on the original grasslands.
Previously, Li Xuan had personally said to everyone that the people here were Tibetan craftsmen, so why were they from the Western Turkic tribe?
Li Xuan ignored everyone's gazes and asked directly to the guest: "When did they arrive in Chang'an? How long have they been in Chang'an? Do you know what brought them to you?"
Although the welcoming face was ugly, he had more experience than many of the children of aristocratic families. He immediately handed over his hands and said to Li Xuan: "I heard from my servant that these people came to Chang'an three days ago, but I arrived here yesterday and made a reservation at the Immortality Pavilion, and today I am here again."
Li Xuan nodded slightly, then looked at the small courtyard in front and said lightly: "It seems that they are here to wait for someone."
Waiting for someone, waiting for someone, everyone present immediately understood what was fishy.
The business travelers who had just arrived from the Western Turks were not really in a hurry to sell their goods. Instead, they came here to wait for someone, and they came here for two consecutive days.
Something is obviously wrong.
"But, Your Majesty, the person they were waiting for hasn't come in the past two days." Ying Ke looked at Li Xuan worriedly.
"It's useless. That person should have been staring here. After seeing this king appear here, he should never come back."
How could Li Xuan not understand that the person who was secretly watching was very suspicious. When Li Xuan appeared here, the other person's mind was already extremely vigilant. How could he appear again?
It can only be said that Li Xuan was very lucky. He came to Li Xian casually and met Tubo Xizuo.
It's rare for a person to have an entry appear here.
[Anzhu, a Western Turk, a Tibetan expert, was ordered to come to Chang'an to investigate information]
The Western Turks and Tubo are doing fine work, which is interesting.
"How many people are there, do you remember?" Li Xuan turned around and asked directly.
The greeter immediately bowed and said: "There are seven people in total, carrying scimitars and wearing wool. No armor can be seen, and there are no bows and arrows."
Although Jiangqiu Garden is a place for folk cuju and gambling, the people here are all distinguished guests. Swords are fine, but bows and crossbows are definitely not.
Li Xuan nodded, looked at everyone and said: "Listen, we will go in in a while, three people in a team, surround and kill one person, the master will charge first, no need to capture him alive, no matter life or death, how many heads and merits can be obtained, all It depends on your own abilities.”
"Here!" Everyone present immediately became excited, holding knives in their hands and excitedly raised their hands.
Although they are just some dudes, they also know that killing and arresting people are two different things.
If they are allowed to arrest people and cower, they will inevitably get hurt, but if they are only allowed to kill people, their strength will be unleashed.
…
With a "bang" sound, Li Xuan kicked the wooden door open. In an instant, three long arrows were shot towards Li Xuan's chest.
At the same time, the three blades flew up at the same time, and in the blink of an eye they had chopped down the three long arrows.
Li Zhu, Li Xuan, and Dou Xiao.
Li Xuan held the Eight-sided Han Sword tightly in her hands, while Li Zhu and Dou Xiao held black standard horizontal knives in their hands.
"Kill!" Li Xuan rushed into the longevity pavilion in an instant. On the steps in front, three archers were already pointing their longbows at them again.
Put an arrow on the bow.
No one knows how these people managed to avoid the search of Jiang Qiuyuan and bring the bows and arrows in. The spectators outside the door were all shocked when they saw this scene.
Li Xuan, Li Zhu, and Dou Xiao all seemed to be prepared.
In an instant, the three archers on the opposite side let go of the long arrows in their hands at the same time. At the same time, from behind Li Xuan and the others, several crossbow arrows flew straight out, and in the blink of an eye, they shot into the three people who could not dodge. In the chest.
"Ding ding ding!" Three weapons were slashed out at the same time, and the arrow that flew in front of Li Xuan was chopped down in the blink of an eye.
"The rest are on the second floor, kill." Li Xuan waved her hand, and the next moment, the children of the aristocratic families behind could not help but rush in.
Although they did not expect that these Turks would have bows and arrows in their hands, they all knew that just after the raid on Li Xuan, all the bows in the hands of the Western Turks had been used up.
The sound of fighting suddenly came from above.
Three people are dead, and four are left. Seven or eight people can fight against four people. Although they may not be able to win, they can't die for the time being.
"Let's all go up." Li Xuan's expression was very calm. He waved his hand and asked his five guards to go up with Dou Xiao. He himself took Li Zhu to the dead archers.
Li Xuan lowered her body, looked at their fingers, the tiger's mouth, and even opened it to look at their teeth, and finally sighed softly: "It is indeed poisonous!"
Careful work, the most important thing is to keep the secret. Although they died under the crossbow arrow, if they are in danger, these three people will definitely commit suicide by biting the poison.
"Let's go!" After saying that, Li Xuan immediately went upstairs. The moment he stepped onto the second floor, the killing sounds stopped.
Three corpses lay bloody on the ground. As expected, the actions of these disciples were of no importance. Especially after Li Xuan let them kill at will, these people went crazy.
There was only one person sitting on the short table in the back, his head lowered, and black blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
The wine glass in front of him was stained with pieces of black ash, which were pieces of paper left by burning.
This man, at the last moment, ruined the message with his own life.
It's too late.
Li Xuan walked over to the corpse, looked at the broken teeth, and shook his head slightly.
Looking down at the several burnt pieces still connected together in the wine glass, he couldn't help but shake his head: "It's a pity that he died in vain."
Li Xuan immediately turned around and shouted coldly: "Go get some pieces of paper."
"Here!" The guest immediately held his hand and ran down quickly.
It didn't take long for a few pieces of paper to be taken out. At the same time, King Li Xian of England also came.
Watching Li Xuan pour the embers in the wine glass together with the wine, Li Xian asked curiously: "Uncle Wang, can these things still be used?"
"It's okay." Li Xuan didn't even look back.
Li Xian then asked curiously: "Uncle Wang, how did you discover these Turks?"
Li Xuan said nonchalantly: "When I walked through the door, I heard someone inside suddenly speaking Tubo dialect, and you are next door. Tell me, do I have to be too careful?"
Li Xian understood immediately, raised his hands to Li Xuan and said, "Thank you, Uncle Wang."
