The distance between the carriage and the armored rhinoceros was getting closer and closer, and Yu Xiaojie's driver could already see the serious and fearless expression on the carriage driver's face.
If the coachman had to use one word to describe this ordinary-looking carriage driver, then the first word that came to mind was warrior.
A warrior who is not afraid of death. Even if he knows that the front is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, he will rush forward without hesitation. A warrior with an iron will.
The coachman looked at the carriage driver at this moment, and he was already retreating...
He vaguely felt something was wrong. The carriage driver opposite did not look like an ordinary servant, nor did he look like a stupid person without a brain. This time, he seemed to have made a mistake and bumped into him. Hard work.
"Are you still going to rush forward?" This question kept echoing in the coachman's mind.
If you rush forward and knock the carriage on the opposite side apart, your master will be happy. When the time comes, you will be able to get a large reward. Even if something goes wrong, your master will most likely be able to take it all for you. The premise is that his master can really take over. If he can't, he will definitely become a scapegoat and be pushed out to take the blame.
If you don't fight, your master will lose face, and this debt will definitely be counted on your head. You will inevitably get a beating when you go back, and you may even be kicked out and kicked out.
However, it is difficult to say whether the other side will give up. If the person on the other side is really a child of a big family, and sees that he has given in, and pursues him relentlessly and refuses to let others go, then things will be very troublesome then.
While the coachman was still hesitating, the distance between the armored rhinoceros and the carriage was getting closer and closer, and in the end he couldn't stop even if he wanted to.
"No matter what, at worst, I will stop after hitting his car, save his life, and ask him where he came from later!" The coachman glanced at the two figures sitting in the carriage.
As the distance got closer, the driver could vaguely see the faces of the two people.
"Hey...these two people seem familiar!" Yu Xiaojie, who was sitting in the carriage, frowned and said, "The old man looks fierce. This reminds me of what my father told me before, inside Chang'an City. There is a bad old man with a bad temper and a second-generation son who is arrogant and domineering and does all kinds of evil. I must not provoke them. What do they seem to be called...what are their names?"
I don't know why, but Yu Xiaojie inexplicably remembered what his father told him a long time ago.
Seeing the carriage and the armored rhinoceros getting closer and closer, the people around them couldn't help but hold their breath and concentrate, as if they had foreseen the fate of the carriage and the car's destruction and death.
Some timid people have even turned away, not wanting to see the bloody and cruel scene.
Boom boom boom
Three loud bangs exploded on the street, and the sound waves caused the dust on the ground to fly up, covering everything.
However, the huge body of the armored rhinoceros still exposed its four thighs under the smoke and dust, while the carriage was completely wrapped in the smoke and dust.
A warrior withstood the pressure and looked intently, only to see the four thick legs of the armored rhinoceros slowly bending down, as if they were being suppressed by something with shocking power.
"What on earth is there..."
The warrior looked at the billowing smoke in surprise. The unknown things were always filled with all kinds of monsters and monsters. No one knew what kind of face was underneath the mask until he took off the mask.
As for the ordinary people, most of them are complaining about why the eldest son Yu Xiaojie made such a big noise today. The street is expected to be blocked soon, which will seriously affect their lives.
"Cough cough cough cough! This smoke is really choking!"
"I don't know how many pieces the car was smashed into. Are the people sitting inside still alive?"
"It would be such an injustice if he died!"
"Look, look, look! People from the Xuanwu Army are coming!"
"The Xuanwu Army is worthy of being the personal bodyguard of the Zhou Emperor. Now it is in charge of the security of Chang'an City. It is really amazing that it can arrive at the scene in such a short time! Like the security army in the past, some people have been provoking troubles on the street for half an hour. They have just Get there!”
"So what, the eldest son Yu Xiaojie has been arrested several times, but he was finally released. I guess he was just sent to prison by the Xuanwu Army, and his father followed him in to arrest him!"
The crowd was talking to each other, and soon a line of Xuanwu Army soldiers wearing black armor emerged from the other end of the street.
The soldiers all had serious faces and uniform steps, exuding a formidable aura as they marched.
The crowd that originally gathered around to watch the fun now all
Automatically separate a road to allow this column of soldiers to pass.
Several old men and women were walking slowly and couldn't dodge. They were about to collide with this line of soldiers. As a result, they were knocked aside by an invisible wave of air and collapsed on the ground.
However, no matter how many old men and women sat on the ground, holding their chests and crying out in pain, or crawling away, the Xuanwu Army continued to walk straight forward, unmoved at all, as if nothing could stop it. their footsteps.
However, the next moment, a figure appeared out of thin air in front of the Xuanwu Army, blocking their way.
Everyone took a closer look and were immediately shocked.
Standing in front of the Xuanwu Army was the Tianzi guard.
The Tianzi guard seemed to whisper something to the leader of the Xuanwu Army, and then disappeared.
What was even more unexpected was that this column of Xuanwu troops also left the next moment.
"This...could it be that the Tianzi guards asked them to retreat? The reason behind this is very thought-provoking!" A warrior immediately frowned.
Tianzi Guard has always represented the Emperor Zhou. Since he appeared here today, Emperor Zhou must also know what happened here. Since he told the Xuanwu Army to retreat, his attitude towards Yu Xiaojie is also very surprising. Thought deeply...
"Could it be that Emperor Zhou felt that it would be futile to capture the eldest son of the Minister of Rites anyway, and the Minister of Rites would definitely try his best to fish out his son, so he simply refused to let the Xuanwu Army arrest him!"
"Impossible. How could the Emperor of Zhou abolish the national law just because of a small minister of rites, and even call the Xuanwu Army back in front of everyone and damage his own prestige?"
"Unless...unless he feels that there is no need for the Xuanwu Army to handle this place, or that someone will handle the matter here for him!"
…………
When the smoke and dust dispersed, all four legs of the armored rhinoceros were seen kneeling on the ground, and its head was lying on the ground. Its eyes were filled with an unyielding and unwilling look.
And just one foot away from the armored rhino's head, the carriage was parked there safely. The driver was sitting on the carriage, looking at everything that was happening in front of him with a proud look on his face.
As for the driver driving the armored rhinoceros on the opposite side, he was stunned and dumbfounded.
He stared blankly at the figure stepping on the head of the armored rhino, and was speechless for a long time.
And Yu Xiaojie, who was sitting in the armored rhinoceros carriage, was trembling with fear, his back felt cold, and his face was pale.
He finally recognized who this person was, but it was too late now. If he had known that Guo Nan was sitting in the carriage, he would not have dared to go even if he had the courage!
Guo Nan slowly turned around and looked at him with cold eyes. Yu Xiaojie suddenly trembled in fright and slid down from his seat.
"Hahahaha! Wasn't this rhinoceros so majestic just now? Why is his legs so weak now! You should stand up and take a few steps!"
Guo Dalong jumped off the carriage and walked up to the armored rhinoceros who was suppressed by Guo Nan with a proud look on his face.
Even if Guo Dalong is slightly fat, he still looks very small standing next to the armored rhinoceros.
"You son of a bitch! Are you here to provoke your father? With a little guy like you, your father can easily deal with you! With such little ability, you still dare to show off! Tsk, tsk, tsk, how dare you! You are too weak. Here! Little guy!"
Guo Dalong made a sarcastic and sarcastic tone towards the armored rhinoceros. He didn't know whether he was speaking to the armored rhinoceros or the person sitting on the armored rhinoceros.
"Although this Guo Dalong is also a second-generation ancestor and idles around every day, listening to him mocking Yu Xiaojie makes me feel really comfortable!"
"Me too! Speaking of the famous and powerful sons in Chang'an City, Mr. Guo is the most famous. Although he is powerful, he rarely bullies others, unlike other second-generation ancestors."
"Furthermore, I also heard that Mr. Guo is a very old man. He once did charity in a restaurant and gave a large sum of money to a pair of poor grandfather and grandson. He is a great philanthropist!"
"Yes, yes, and among the rich and powerful, Mr. Guo has the most bizarre life experience. He was reduced to a beggar back then!"
"Shhh, don't mention these things, or you may get them into the ears of the old prince!"
The crowd was talking a lot, and soon the whole street was blocked. People wanted to see what would happen to Yu Xiaojie, the eldest son of the Minister of Rites, if he provoked the old prince and his son today.
The armored rhinoceros was trampled under Guo Nan's feet and could not move at all.
"A beast who only knows brute force dares to come out to cause trouble. Do you really think that Chang'an
No one in the city can rule you anymore? "Guo Nan said, glaring at Yu Xiaojie fiercely.
Although his words were directed at the armored rhinoceros, the implication was that he was teaching Yu Xiaojie a lesson.
Yu Xiaojie was already scared out of his mind at this time. He only hoped that his father would come to save him quickly. How could he use his brain to reply to such a fierce old man's words.
"My dad said, you must not get into trouble when something happens. You must calm down at this time, yes, yes! You must not talk nonsense. If you don't know what to say, don't say a word! Wait for him to come. Just save me!" After Yu Xiaojie thought anxiously in his heart, he calmed down a little, and when he looked at Guo Nan again, his expression had softened a lot.
"I didn't hurt them, so I don't think I have much responsibility. I can at most just apologize. I'll just wait for my father to come!" Yu Xiaojie secretly made up his mind.
As for the driver, he didn't dare to move at this time. He was staring at the ground, just looking for a crack to get in.
You know, just now he was driving the armored rhinoceros to ram the carriage of Guo Nan and his son!
If this is pursued, he will definitely die!
Seeing that both Yu Xiaojie and the driver were silent, Guo Nan's face became more and more gloomy. He floated down from the rhino's head, stood on the ground, and said in a cold voice, "Is this city of Chang'an always so smoky? It seems so. Life has become too comfortable, and no one respects the authority of the law anymore! Kyushu, which the human race’s martyrs conquered for the people with their blood and sweat, is placed here for you, the powerful children, to practice like this? Is it for you to ride on it? Is it someone who dominates the people's heads?
If the person sitting in this carriage today is not me, but an ordinary citizen, can you just hit him to death, pat his butt and leave? And then you're just waiting for your father to wipe your ass, and these people can only die in vain at your hands? "
The more Guo Nan spoke, the darker his face became. However, the coachman and Yu Xiaojie remained silent, but from their indifferent eyes, Guo Nan could see their disapproval.
"You... your appearance makes me feel familiar!" Guo Nan paused and said with a trembling voice, "It makes me feel like I have returned to the original human-monster war. At that time, the demon kings looked at us humans in the same way. This is what you are doing today!"
In Fugui Tavern, Zhou Ruoxiao and Chen Dong were still sitting in their original seats.
At this time, the guests in the tavern were all discussing the major event that had just happened in the neighboring street.
"Have you heard? The eldest son, the Minister of Rites, was taken away by the old prince just now. I heard that he was dragged to kneel outside the palace and asked to reflect!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I didn't expect that the usually arrogant and domineering young master Yu Xiaojie would be like this!"
"Who said otherwise? I thought he could be arrogant for a long time, but he was finally sanctioned today!"
"You haven't seen how the young prince Guo Dalong mocked Yu Xiaojie, haha, I laughed to death when I heard that!"
The restaurant was very busy, but no one seemed to notice Zhou Ruoxiao's table, and it seemed that the drinkers would deliberately avoid it when passing by this table.
"Prince Zhan is indeed still Prince Zhan, he is really hot-tempered!" Zhou Ruoxiao said with a smile.
After Chen Dong was silent for a moment, he said, "Prince Zhan is upright and upright, and he has long been famous in the court!"
"I remember that the Minister of Rites is from your side. He cherishes his son very much. Do you want to go and beg for him later?"
"The state has national laws, and families have family rules. Since you have violated the law, you must be punished. I think the Minister of Rites should also be able to understand..."
Zhou Ruoxiao pursed her lips and smiled, picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp, then took out a piece of broken silver from his arms and placed it on the table. Then he stood up and walked towards the street.
"Okay, let's go! Prince Zhan has a lot of worries today. Let's go with him to relax and distract himself!"
Chen Dong and Jin Mang looked at the other end of the street at the same time, and saw Guo Nan and Guo Dalong, who were also dressed in simple clothes, standing in the corner, looking at them.
A gust of breeze blew by, and Liu Fugui, who had been busy for a long time and finally had a chance to rest against the counter, suddenly felt something and looked at a table next to the pergola outside the tavern.
I saw a tea set on the table. One cup had been drunk, but the other cup was still full, and there was an ingot of broken silver beside it.
Liu Fugui scratched his head. In his impression, there seemed to be several guests sitting at that table before, but he had no memory of what they looked like, how long they sat there, or when they left.
"I guess it's because I have a bad memory! Alas, after working for most of my life, it's time to find a time to stop, but where can I settle down in this chaotic situation?" Liu Fugui sighed as he walked over to clear the table.
“Where can we find shelter in troubled times?”
