The prince is very fierce

Chapter 67: A Bolt from the Blue

Dong-Dong-

The morning bell rang one hundred and eight times.

The city gates and palace gates opened one after another, and all the civil and military officials walked neatly through the imperial road and entered the Taiji Hall in the center of the entire empire.

Mist rose between the streets, and the people from all directions, wandering scholars, and even foreign merchants were busy in the streets and alleys, working hard for their own lives.

In the small wine shop in Qingshi Lane, Shopkeeper Sun had been wandering around the shop for decades. Seeing the white-clothed female knight waiting quietly outside the wine shop with a bamboo hat, he shook his head and smiled:

"Girl, it's not a good thing for a girl to love drinking. Be careful to suffer if you drink too much that day. Well... More than ten years ago, there was a boy from a noble family who was like this. He met a female knight who was also as beautiful as a fairy. The boy from the noble family was a playboy, causing trouble in the capital all day long, so he was not in the eyes of the female knight. Guess what happened in the end?"

Ning Qingye's eyes wandered around the alley, his face calm Jing answered: "I don't know."

Shopkeeper Sun poured wine and smiled with a hint of aftertaste: "In the end, the noble family boy came up with a bad idea. He used sweet words to trick the chivalrous woman into the wine shop, and then he poured wine all over her, hoping to get her drunk..."

Ning Qingye frowned slightly, and naturally understood what the noble family boy was thinking. He snorted:

"Since she can be called a chivalrous woman, she must have a good physique. How could she be drunk by a noble family boy?"

"Hehe... This is what's strange about things."

Shopkeeper Sun shook his head leisurely: "I'm also I was well-informed and thought that the noble boy would definitely be punished, but I didn't expect that after a few glasses of wine, the heroine really got drunk and was carried away by the noble boy..."

Ning Qingye was stunned, retracted his gaze, and looked at the shopkeeper Sun in the wine shop: "Why didn't the shopkeeper stop it? The woman must have fallen into the dirty tricks of the villain..."

Shopkeeper Sun shook his head and looked at Ning Qingye meaningfully:

"Wine is a good thing, it can solve many problems. Sometimes if you don't get drunk, you won't get the chance to do it..."

Ning Qingye blinked his eyes, obviously I didn't understand what Shopkeeper Sun meant:

"What happened to the woman in the end?"

"In the end... she became a princess and gave birth to a very powerful son..."

Shopkeeper Sun handed the wine pot to Ning Qingye and chuckled: "The girl bought so much wine but didn't drink it. You don't know if she would just throw it away and ruin it one day. Mr. Xu doesn't come here every day. If you want to wait, just sit in the shop."

Ning Qingye took the wine pot and didn't deny it: "I owe him a favor. I offended him last time and wanted to apologize to him." After saying that, he turned around and left the alley.

Shopkeeper Sun curled his lips, shook his head and smiled, and continued to work on the small shop.

After about a quarter of an hour, the sound of horse hooves rang in the alley, and the sound was very familiar.

In the past, this horse, which was much more majestic than ordinary horses, would also attract a lot of attention, but today, the drinkers in the alley all retreated to the wall of the alley with pale faces, leaning against it, watching the horse pass by without saying a word.

A familiar handsome young man sat on a tall horse, his body stained with a lot of blood. Behind the saddle hung a package, the size of a watermelon, the cloth was blood red, and blood was still dripping down.

Taking heads on the battlefield was considered military merit. The warriors who returned victoriously basically had a string of heads hanging on their horses. The more heads, the greater the military merit. A tour in the city could win the praise of the people and show the military strength. This was a very common thing at the border. If there was nothing after going out, many soldiers would be embarrassed to enter the city during the day.

But this is Chang'an, the imperial capital of Dayue. It has not been disturbed by war for many years. The war has long been forgotten. In addition, the control is extremely strict. Even the underground gangs dare to fight only at night. There has never been such a scene.

Many drinkers trembled in their legs, and even retched against the wall after the horses passed by.

Shopkeeper Sun heard the noise and looked up. He had seen everything in his life, so he had no reaction to the head. Instead, he looked at Xu Buling nervously:

"Oh! Young Master, what did you do last night? How did you end up like this..."

It was late when Xu Buling returned last night, and he was allowed to enter the city only after the city gates were opened in the morning. His wine gourd was already empty, so he took the wine gourd from the side of the horse and threw it to Shopkeeper Sun:

"It's just a small matter, give me a pot of wine."

Shopkeeper Sun nodded. Knowing Xu Buling's background, he naturally didn't worry about Xu Buling's safety. In Chang'an City, as long as Xu Buling didn't kill a member of the Song family, there would be people from the government to clean up the mess.

"Sir, that girl has been coming to buy wine these days. I don't think she likes wine. She only drinks a few sips to try it out. I don't know what she means by buying a pot every day..."

"Haha... got it."

Xu Buling did not dismount. After the wine gourd was full, he leaned forward to take it, and then left Qingshi Lane with his horse's belly.

-----

In the early morning, the wealthy families in Kuishou Street were silent, because the emperor was having a banquet for all the ministers today. All the eldest wives of the families went to the palace without exception. Only some concubines and illegitimate sons were walking around on the street accompanied by servants and maids.

The distinction between legitimate and illegitimate sons in aristocratic families is much stricter than that of ordinary families. For example, the famous Huainan Xiao family has children all over the world. It is estimated that there are more than a hundred officials, and the eldest son is treated as a national scholar by the emperor. But the illegitimate sons born to concubines have no status. At most, they are sent out to fend for themselves after they reach adulthood with the family property they are given.

Zhongyong Hou Li Baoyi has many concubines and more than a dozen sons, but only two legitimate sons, one of whom is a general at the border, and the other is Li Tianlu. He makes friends with the younger generation of dignitaries in Chang'an to develop his family business. This is also a common way for aristocratic families. It is both face and substance.

Unfortunately, today, the Li family's face and substance are all gone.

Ta-ta-ta-ta--

The hurried sound of horse hooves passed through the three octagonal archways as if no one was around, and quickly came to the door of the Li family mansion at the end of Kuishou Street.

On the vermilion lacquered gate behind the two stone lions, the three gold-plated characters of "Zhongyong Hou" were shining. Several soldiers stood in front of the gate for patrolling, and the steward stood at the door waiting for guests who might come at any time. The pomp was much more impressive than that of the Su Wang Mansion.

Xu Buling drove his horse to the gate of the Li family, turned over and dismounted, and walked towards the gate with the package.

The housekeeper naturally recognized Xu Buling. He was startled to see the young prince coming to the door, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him. However, he never expected that a bloody package would be thrown over and rolled a distance outside the vermilion lacquered door.

"Young prince! What are you doing..."

The housekeeper's eyelids jumped, and he realized something was wrong.

Xu Buling pulled out the official sword from the guard's waist, rushed up the steps and flew up.

Snap——

With a flash of the sword, the plaque of the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion was split in two and fell to the ground.

Dingling clang...

The faces of many guards and teachers changed drastically, but they did not dare to say a word, and stood there in panic.

Xu Buling fell back to the ground, threw his official knife and stuck it on the gate, and said coldly:

"You are cruel to the people, relying on the emperor's favor to act arrogantly, what kind of loyal and brave marquis is that? I will teach you a lesson today. If I hear such rumors again, I will slaughter your entire Li family!"

After saying that, Xu Buling waved his sleeves, turned around, mounted his horse and rode away.

Many guards and stewards were stunned in place, all confused, but dared not get angry.

After a moment of stagnation, the steward came back to his senses, squatted down and tremblingly opened the package. At a glance, he sat on the ground with a pale face:

"Quick... Go to the palace to inform the master... The second young master... The second young master was killed!..."

"Ah——"

Screaming, chaos, and crying spread throughout the loyal and brave mansion in an instant.

And the instigator had already disappeared outside the mansion...
