"Little brother, this may be a misunderstanding! Let's keep it private!"
Li Yuanchang relied on the strength of his numbers and did not take Yang Ming seriously. He stepped forward alone, walked to Zhang Dawei's body, looked at it carefully, and then expressed his speculation!
"This mountain road is rugged, and everyone is worried about encountering thieves. Look at the appearance of your entourage. They are all fierce and armed. My guards should have taken action to deal with them out of safety concerns!"
"I would like to ask this noble prince, if you kill someone to pay for your life, and pay your debts for money, my demands are not excessive. Is it natural and right?!"
Yang Ming silently counted around. This man who called himself the prince had a total of twenty-eight male guards, four maids, and a carriage with unknown contents!
A quarter of an hour passed. After Yang Ming was sure that Lin Wan'er was not imprisoned in the carriage, he continued to talk nonsense to Li Yuanchang!
"Little brother, I am deeply sorry for the misfortune of your entourage. My two guards have just entered the world and do not know the laws of the Tang Dynasty. How about I take out three gold cakes and treat them as buying this Three lives!”
Li Yuanchang is a little confused. This young man is not moved when he hears my name? Why is he facing the carriage in the distance with his eyes half-closed in trance? Is it possible that he is really an assassin? Want to hide someone on my carriage? !
He was no longer interested in Yang Ming at this moment. He felt that although this man's martial arts skills were high, he was too dangerous. I still have to guard against bad people, and I don’t have any extra time to tame them!
So he winked, and the four maids near the carriage immediately understood what he was thinking. They immediately used small stools to pull up the curtains and entered the carriage to search carefully!
"My lord, you can rest assured. I am not an unreasonable person, and I don't dare to do the same thing and be disrespectful to the prince. I was just thinking about how to get the prince to hand over these two murderers to me!"
Yang Ming was relieved. None of Li Yuanchang's remaining twenty-odd guards had the martial arts skills of the two in front. Otherwise, with so many peerless masters gathered together, they could defeat Shen Wenliang's army with their eyes closed!
But having said that, the more than twenty guards escorting Li Yuanchang can be considered elites in the army, and their combat effectiveness is not comparable to that of the second-rate soldiers led by Yang Ming.
Besides, this old boy Li Yuanchang is extremely rich. Maybe there is some sophisticated combat equipment and a bunch of unnamed supplies hidden behind their carriage at this moment!
"Hahaha! Little brother, I respect you as a man, so I agreed to use three gold cakes to make a friend. If you still want to make trouble unreasonably and want me to make friends with you, then don't blame me for ordering an encirclement and suppression of you. Caravan!"
Li Yuanchang looked at the ordinary carriage in Yang Ming's team and the remaining dozen or so followers wearing various shabby clothes. He somewhat suspected that Yang Ming was deliberately trying to cheat him out of gold bars!
Yang Ming's carriage looks ordinary on the outside, but it's actually very different on the inside.
Yang Ming spent a lot of time on the modification of this carriage all the way back from Youzhou. The shock-absorbing and sound-insulating effect is great, but without a seat belt, it can't handle sudden braking!
"My lord, I'm not bragging! If my lord refuses to hand over these two murderers today, I'll have to answer to the next one. Then I can only Meng Lang. In order to help my followers get justice, I have to let my lord encircle and suppress them!"
With Yang Ming's protective personality, how could he give in because the other party is a prince, let alone a useless prince who can only live for six more years!
"Is it worth risking the lives of an entire caravan for just a few followers?! You still want me to find out where you are from and help you take care of your tribe!"
Li Yuanchang didn't want to cause trouble. If there were other guards, let alone two, even twenty, he would abandon them at the critical moment! But the two were different, and he didn't dare to hand them over to Yang Ming. . .
"My lord, do you also feel that sometimes the life of the emperor's relatives is not easy, they are alone in the darkness, and it feels like their days are like years, just like the Zhao family in Qingzhou City is now in danger..."
Yang Ming deliberately exposed a little of the imperial edict given by Li Shimin, so that Li Yuanchang could catch a glimpse of it, and then immediately covered it up. The process was made mysterious, and Li Yuanchang was frightened to death!
Li Yuanchang wanted to use his tribe to intimidate him and use both soft and hard tactics on him. He will use the same method to repay the other person with the same method!
"Who are you?!"
After Li Yuanchang saw the imperial edict, he shouted loudly and even trembled when he spoke!
Professionalism comes through at critical moments. Li Yuanchang's team suddenly changed into a defensive formation, protecting Li Yuanchang in the center of the formation, with large shields and crossbows set up in four directions. . .
The guards on Yang Ming's side stood on tiptoes and looked over curiously. Three brothers have died, but their hearts are still so big. They don’t mount their horses or draw their swords, so they just buy a bag of melon seeds and sit aside to watch the fun!
Deng Sanqi helped Xiong Lei, who had suffered serious internal injuries, from the rubble and stood in the distance watching Yang Ming's every move.
The two of them took the letter from their master in the morning and arrived at the Qingzhou Prince's residence in high spirits. The process of recognizing the master has not been completed for more than a day. Is it possible that the prince will abandon him just because he killed a few passers-by? !
"Haha! I'm just an errand boy, a servant responsible for getting rid of the Zhao Mansion and all its industries. My identity and status cannot be compared with that of the prince, but at least it can be regarded as the knife in his hand!"
Yang Ming looked at his scattered team and shook his head and sighed.
It's like a mountain across the road. When returning to Yangjiapu, Xiaocui has to ask Zhong Kai to select some capable guards. Otherwise, it's one thing whether it's embarrassing or not. If you go out with these energetic guys, you don't even know how you'll die!
"It turns out that a flood washed away the Dragon King Temple, and the whole family didn't recognize each other! The little brother was reused at such a young age, which is really enviable! This has been going on for a long time, and I still don't know what to call the little brother! "
Li Yuanchang's brain was running rapidly. He was making the best plans and the worst plans at the same time! Could it be that his second brother really wanted to send a group of people secretly to swallow up the Zhao family in one fell swoop? !
The atmosphere has improved a bit, but judging from the security situation of Li Yuanchang's guards, Yang Ming is still in danger, and a dose of easing medicine is needed to comfort the frightened Li Yuanchang!
"I'm going down to you, but I'm going to take the commanding officer, Yang Ming, to pay my respects to the King of Han!"
Yang Ming strolled towards Li Yuanchang. When he was ten steps away from the guard, he stopped and saluted.
"But the founder of Dai County, Yang Ming of the Hongnong Yang family?!"
Li Yuanchang waved his hand, and the defensive formation immediately retreated skillfully. All the guards looked like people who were fine. They immediately relaxed and did what they had to do. They were still vigilant around the carriage as before.
"Returning to the prince, your majesty will mobilize some palace guards to assist the minister to go to Qingzhou. I just want to ask the head of the Zhao family to cooperate in the investigation of the assassination of the Yang family and the disappearance of his wife. If I have offended you in any way, I hope you will forgive me!"
What is the power of a fox and a tiger? !
What does it mean to use chicken feathers as arrows? !
Regardless of whether the head of the Zhao family was following Feng Deyi or following a relative of the emperor above the court. As long as the mother-in-law wanted someone, he, Yang Ming, would have to dig out the head of the Zhao family even if he had to dig three feet into the ground!
If he is not capable enough and his influence is not strong, then he will bring out Li Shimin to scare people.
Is it possible that a person like him who is familiar with history would be worried about Li Yuanchang and secretly go to inform Li Shimin! Li Yuanchang meeting Li Shimin is like a mouse meeting a cat. When they meet, he will probably be so scared that he won't even dare to fart!
"Well! Since the head of the Zhao family is suspected of hiring a murderer, it's okay for Captain Yang to be taken away in accordance with the laws of the Tang Dynasty! It's just a matter of two guards. Can Captain Yang look out for the king's favor and make the big thing a trivial matter? , it’s a trivial matter!”
Sure enough, the palace guards suddenly appeared in Qingzhou. Sure enough, it was because Zhao Danda kicked Yang Ming's iron plate!
Just because the private feud between the aristocratic families attracted Li Shimin's attention and lent him the palace guards, it shows that the Yang family paid a lot for it. It also shows that Zhao Danda, a good-for-nothing, succeeded in driving other aristocratic families into the arms of Li Shimin!
Yang Ming looked around at Li Yuanchang, and after he moved the guard back, he stepped forward and whispered:
"King Han, this subordinate can't make the decision! Look at my team, what do they look like? These people have mediocre martial arts, low-ranking positions, but very special status. Even if nothing happens, the subordinates don't want to talk to them. !”
Li Yuanchang had an ominous premonition in his heart, but he couldn't help but asked curiously:
"Is it possible that these people are not the guards of your Yang Mansion?!"
"My prince! If these dead people were my people, I would have been hiding aside with three pieces of gold cakes waiting for the prince's carriage to pass by. How could I have the guts to fight with your guards!"
Yang Ming pretended to be helpless, as if he was embarrassed not to dig a hole and bury Li Yuanchang!
"Could it be that these three people who died are all..."
"Your Majesty! There is only one person, the one with a hateful face and a scar on his face. That person is usually more unruly and does not look down upon his subordinates on the road, but he is a bad person no matter what. ah!"
"Then what should we do? I don't even know that they are bad people!"
"Hey! It's probably because these people are arrogant and your two guards are impatient, so this tragedy happened!"
"Why don't I choose two bodyguards to go back with Captain Yang to recover?!"
The two of them walked further and further away, and the others also wisely avoided them. Anyone who accidentally overhears their chat may never see the sun tomorrow!
"Your Majesty, think again! If you are not afraid of being noticed by bad people, and if the guards you choose can withstand the interrogation of bad people, then I will not dare to have any objections to your Highness's decision!"
"So there is no other way? Those two people must be handed over to Captain Yang?"
"Your Majesty, please don't say that. You didn't leave the person to me. I also tried to snatch it from the prince, but the official was not strong enough and I tried my best. The bad guy will not blame the official on his head. . . ”
"Oh! Why did we meet these two ignorant young people! Captain Yang, let me think about it, let me think about it!"
Li Yuanchang was also depressed. These two treasures were the two masters sent by the military to support him in the morning! If this person is sent to Yuan Tiangang, will there be some more groundless charges?
Besides, it's rare to be favored by military strategists, so it's impossible to abandon them as soon as they encounter problems! With the help of talented people like them, great things can be expected in the future!
