Chapter 141

King Li drove his horse to the front of the Yu Wang Mansion, and met Rong who stood on the steps almost level with each other.

“Fourth younger sibling looks supple and skillful, I didn’t expect that she is actually the Flower Mulan of the National Dynasty.”

“Thank you.”

“The Yuhang Mansion is so defiant, the guards are out in full force, taking out a life-threatening stance to deal with the inspector battalion’s questioning, doesn’t it appear that the fourth brother has a weak heart?”

Rong Xiangshi laughed coldly: “Brother Li Wang is accustomed to being pampered, how do you know how many times Yuhang Mansion has been patronized by assassins? The gesture of fighting for your life in your eyes is just the daily routine of the Yuhang Mansion. If it wasn’t for that, we would have died in the Jing Yi Yuan!”

After that, the boys brought up a chair and placed it in front of the steps, and Rong Xiangmian sat peacefully under the Yü Wang Mansion’s main gate plaque.

Rong Xiangmian was sitting peacefully under the plaque at the main entrance of the Yü Wang Mansion, with a look of “If you want to go in, just step over my corpse”.

King Li smiled coldly and said, “Your Highness, you are a woman, showing your face at night in front of so many foreign men and in public, you are not afraid of becoming the laughing stock of the capital tomorrow?”

“His Highness is not in the capital. If I let so many foreign men into the royal residence, the spittle in the capital will drown me tomorrow. Why don’t we just stay here and live with the royal family? Even if I die, I’ll still have a reputation for loyalty.”

When King Li saw that Consort Yuh did not take in the oil and salt, his eyes instantly turned cold: “I can’t imagine that Consort Yuh is so loyal to my fourth brother. If he knew about tonight’s situation, he would have regretted leaving you alone in the capital.”

Rong Xiangshi was calm: “Your Highness King Li can’t figure out many things. You such a nobleman, how would you know the Rong family family motto, only stand and die, not kneel and live. What I am doing today is only because I am a member of the Rong family, and I will never be coerced!”

“Good one, only stand and die, not kneel and live!”

King Li rolled over and dismounted from his horse, walking step by step to the steps.

He relies on his identity, no one in the Yuhang Mansion dares to touch him.

Indeed, he is Yuhang’s elder brother, the Empress’ adopted son, Rong Xiangmian cannot move him.

King Li wore a hypocritical over-the-top smile, “I would like to see how Consort Yu, is prepared to die standing up.”

Looking at this once incomparably familiar, and at this moment, exceptionally strange person, Rong Xiangmian’s heart crossed, stood up, and softly asked, “Do you still remember when you first entered the palace, how you refused to eat, saying that if father emperor did not give your mother the honorary position she deserved, you would die on hunger strike.”

King Li’s false face instantly showed a crack, “How do you know that?”

“I don’t just know this, I also know ……”

While King Knight was concentrating his mind and listening to what she was saying, Xiang Xiang pulled out King Knight’s accompanying sword in one go and crossed it in front of his neck.

King Knight was shocked and reached out to grab the sword.

Rong Xiangmian quickly stepped back and dodged his hand.

“Is it enough to stand and die like this? Tomorrow the entire world will know that Princess Yu died under King Li’s sword.”

A trace of disbelief flashed across King Li’s face, “Must you die like this?”

“It was you who forced me! The Yuhang Mansion absolutely cannot allow you to frame and abuse it again and again!”

“We’re just trying to arrest an imperial criminal, how can we say we’re framing him?”

“Zhou Xianhan, do you dare to say that you’ve never done anything to frame His Highness Yuhang? Do you dare to say that you had nothing to do with Yuhang’s assassination and the Jing Yi Yuan fire? Do you dare to say that the Yuhang Mansion doesn’t have any of your spies?”

“You ……”

Rong Xiangxian interrupts his defense: “If Yu Xiangyi really isn’t dead, the Nine Gates Patrol Battalion should have reported to His Majesty as soon as they found the trail, why did you guys stay put and still have people secretly stalking the Yü Wang Mansion? What are you thinking? What’s so difficult for you to break in and plant a few people to frame the Yuhang Mansion?”

King Li didn’t expect to be poked and prodded in front of his plan, and became infuriated, “It seems that Consort Yuh will not give in, so I will not blame this king for not talking about past love!”

After saying that, King Li rushed behind him and said in a loud voice: “Immediately enter the mansion and search. Whoever captures the criminal, this king will guarantee him to be the commander of the patrol battalion.”

After saying that, King Li suddenly reached out and pressed the back of the knife in Rong Xiangmian’s hand, sending it towards her neck.

“If Princess Yu wants to cut herself, this king will fulfill you.”

Feiyun Feixue and Linlang hurriedly rushed up to hug King Li from all sides, pulling his hand for fear that he would injure Rong Xiangmian.

King Li’s followers then swarmed over them, dragging them away one by one and throwing them onto the street.

The soldiers at the bottom of the stairs saw this scene, some laughed, some like Li Xun, shook his head, feeling that there is a loss of military decency.

Some bold generals of the patrol battalion see that King Li is about to subdue Princess Yu and is driven by the reward, they are eager to try and prepare to attack the mansion.

The soldiers and generals who followed King Li, armed with shields, had already taken the lead to the forefront.

On the wall of the Yü King’s residence, Wu Feng raised his hand, ready to go to war.

A sharp sound of horses’ hooves resounded through the late night Shanhe Street.

Before the crowd had time to look at the incoming person, out of the cold, a long arrow whistled and passed in front of her.

King Li fell to the ground with a sound.

Everyone present was shocked.

Looking more closely, it was the long arrow that pierced through King Li’s hair, shattering his Seven Jeweled Crown to the ground and bringing his entire person down hard.

“General Xiao Rong!”

In the darkness of the night, Rong Xiangwang single-handedly rushed to the front of the Yulong Mansion, leaping his horse and neighing long.

“Who dares to bully my sister?”

There are many people in the Nine Gates Patrol Battalion who are familiar with Rong Xiangwang and know that he is incredibly brave, and because of his love for Great General Rong, they all don’t want to fight with him for their lives.

They all spoke up and advised, “General Xiao Rong, this is Yü Wang’s business, you can stay out of it.”

“If it’s King Yu’s business, you guys go find him. Bullying my sister while he’s not at home is nothing!”

King Li was just being picked up by his followers when Rong Xiangwang jumped off his horse, a long | gun crossed in front of him, forcing the man back to the bottom of the steps.

“King Li, you are so many big men, bullying my sister and her maid, aren’t you afraid of being laughed at?”

King Li, who had never suffered such a strange shame, shrugged off the assistance of his followers and pulled out the arrow from his hair: “General Xiao Rong, good archery skills. It seems that today, you are going to support this for the Yu Wang House.”

“How am I qualified to back up for the Yuhang House? But if you guys want to hurt my sister, I’m in charge!”

King Li laughed, “Good good good, worthy of being Great General Rong’s son, this king would like to see how much of his father’s valor has been inherited by Little General Rong, and how many soldiers and horses he can withstand alone.”

After saying that, King Li turned towards the generals of the patrol battalion and said, “Haven’t you all always wanted to spar with General Xiao Rong? Now the opportunity has come. Those who can defeat General Xiao Rong will be heavily rewarded.”

Before the words even left his mouth, someone volunteered to step forward, “Zhao Feng of the Patrol Battalion, please teach General Xiao Rong!”

“Xiangwang!” Rong Xiangwang tugged at his back, she had gotten someone to go to the State Duke’s Mansion to ventilate the situation, she just wanted to delay for a bit, she didn’t want Xiangwang to actually go into battle and fight for his life.

Rong Xiangwang didn’t care about this, his long spear stood up, knocking out a very clear sound on the ground, “Please.”

Xiaonan was just authorized by Rong Xiangwang to tie up Zhang Qing and imprison her, she has been hiding behind the doorway and did not come out, under the premise of ensuring that nothing will happen to the Princess, letting the King of Li in front of the steps, under the eyes of the public, bullying the Yuhuangfu’s female family members.

It was only at this moment that she stepped out, and Rong Xiangmian whispered, “Help me protect Xiangwang, be careful of Li Wang’s backstabbing.”

Xiao Nan immediately nodded her head.

After Rong Xiangwang picked off seventeen patrol battalion generals in a row, Li Xun stepped forward.

“It’s you,” Rong Xiangwang had his long｜gun in his hand and threw it around, smiling coldly, “Very good.”

Compared to the disparity in strength just now, the generals finally saw an even match at this moment.

Perhaps, because Li Xun was using a set of swordsmanship passed down with the Rong family, and Rong Xiangwang’s originally came from the same lineage. When the two were fighting, a sleeve arrow suddenly flew out from where the firelight was wavering and uncertain.

Xiao Nan leapt out, the long whip like a long snake spitting out letters, rolled up the sleeve arrow, and instantly shrunk back into Xiao Nan’s hand.

She pinched the arrow in her hand and said in a loud voice: “Is this the tactics of the patrol battalion? It’s all tricks that don’t rise to the occasion.”

Li Xun didn’t expect someone to assassinate Rong Xiangwang at this time, and was momentarily distracted, so he found a hole in his chest and took the impact of the spearhead, falling back several steps before being helped by his fellow officers.

Rong Xiangwang was particularly unimpressed and said, “Again!”

Li Xun shook his head, “I don’t have the face to continue with a match like this with a hidden agenda, I’ve lost.”

The corner of King Li’s mouth twitched, and he gave a wink to his sidekick, and the four personal guards immediately rushed towards Rong Xiangwang in unison.

Rong Xiangmian’s heart was in her throat, if it was for her own sake that she was dragged down by Xiangwang, she could only thank her second uncle with her death.

Again valor, the face of Li Wang side of four good attack, Rong Xiangwang also gradually left and right, some can not defeat, see arm to be cut, Xiao Nan also do not care about the mission to protect the princess, jump into the battle, long whip flung, the guards of the blades rolled up.

Rong Xiangwang took the opportunity to jump up on both feet, using the support of the long spear, a circle of side kicks, kicking the attacking guards over to the ground. Xiao Nan’s long whip was thrown out again, and the long sword was wrapped up, without warning, and flew in a weird route to slash past. One of the guards narrowly avoided it, but the next one was not so lucky, and his ear was cut off.

Xiao Nan retrieved the long whip and copied the knife in her hand, her eyes glowing.

“After returning to the capital, it’s been a long time since I’ve had a good fight!”

After saying that, he and Rong Xiangwang both took the initiative to attack, the two of them fought against the four, and surprisingly, they didn’t lose the wind at all.

Rong Xiangxiang knew that the two of them were powerful, just afraid that when the other party did not speak face, swarmed up, then a fierce battle in front of the Yuhang Mansion was unavoidable, with an unknown number of deaths and injuries. Regardless of the outcome, it would expose the battle power of the Yu Wang Fu.

She stretched her neck, anxious, and finally heard an expected cuckoo call.

Instantly her tears came out, and she lunged towards King Knight at the bottom of the steps, hissing, “Don’t hurt them, you guys go in and search as much as you want, please don’t fight!”

This sudden change made King Li startled, not understanding how Consort Yu, who was incomparably valiant just now, suddenly changed into a different person.

It was at this time that he heard a familiar voice: “Stop.”

A coldness passed through King Li’s body and he hurriedly called out to his own followers before falling heavily to his knees.

In the darkness, the palace carriage slowly drove in and entered the firelight.

The leader of the forbidden army, Duan Fei, was the first to arrive at the scene, leading the feather guards to quickly surround the presence of the Patrol Battalion and the Yü Wang Mansion.

The Emperor was the last to descend from the carriage and sedan chair, and walked out into the darkness amidst the sounds of mountains calling out for His Majesty.

Rong Xiangmian cried with tear-stained face, ran forward and knelt at His Majesty’s feet, pulling His Majesty’s hem in pain, “Father save us, His Highness King Li is trying to kill us!”

The Emperor was shocked and helped her up, “What’s going on? What are you doing in the middle of a big fall?”

The Duke of England followed the Emperor, seeing Rong Xiangmian in fear, and seeing Rong Xiangwang sweating and exhausted, he angrily said, “Your Highness King Li, if you are dissatisfied with the Rong family, just say so, and the old minister will lead the whole family to return to their fields and stay away from the capital so as not to get in your way, why do you need to kill us all in such a way!”

“Your Highness is overstating the case.” King Li carefully gauges the emperor’s expression, “Today, I went up to Yul Wang’s residence to search for an accomplice, and Yul Wang’s concubine obstructed it in every way, so I had to use force.”

“Chin prisoner?”

“It is Yu Chang’s daughter, Yu Xiang Yi.”

Rong Xiangyi quietly glanced at His Majesty’s expression, serious but calm, not surprised in the slightest. Her heart was clear, her guess was right. He had been waiting for Yu Xiangyi’s incident to happen.

“Meet each other!” The Duke of State said with a straight face, “This matter involves a large body, you have always understood things, you should cooperate with King Li to clarify properly.”

Rong Xiangmian was aggrieved, “Father, I was only at the palace for a banquet, and when I returned home in good time, I was surrounded by people who said that we were harboring an imperial criminal. But didn’t the Yu family all die in exile? Who knows if they’re human or ghosts? If you were me, would you let them in? Shouldn’t you have checked yourself first?”

“Then how well did you investigate yourself?”

“I don’t even remember what the Yu family girl looks like! I said that I would let them bring the arrest papers, and I would go in first and let the retainers look for them. But the patrol battalion refused to do so, and brought their men to attack the royal residence directly. Yü Wang’s residence is still a royal residence, no matter how unwelcoming it is, so how can they let the patrol camp search it? If people find out, does His Highness Yü Wang still want to lose face?”

“What time is it, are you still thinking about face? If the Yu Family is suspected of anything, do you know how much it will affect Yuhang?”

“Do you think that as long as someone comes to Yuhang Mansion under the Yu Family’s banner, in order to clear the suspicion, Yuhang Mansion should always open its doors for all cats and dogs to come and search it? My daughter will never accept that!”

King Li sees her excuses and says, “If you’re not a thief, what’s the harm in searching?”

Rong Xiangshi turned around and said angrily, “I told you that the Yu Wangfu only listens to His Majesty’s orders. As long as we get an order from His Majesty, the Yuhang Mansion will open its doors for inspection. Why are you unwilling to go and invite His Majesty’s oracle, what are you afraid of?!”

Speaking here, Rong Xiangshi earnestly pleaded with the emperor, “Father, the Yuhang Mansion is not afraid of search and inspection. But what King Li has done to the Yuhang Mansion, Father is clear. If the arresting battalion takes the opportunity to stuff people into the residence and capture them, we really have no defense. Father Emperor Mingjian, I am really afraid ……” said, and aggrieved and sad tears.

The emperor probably heard and understood, patted her shoulder to show comfort: “I came, you naturally do not have to worry, there will be no one wrongly accused you.”

“Yes,” Rong Xiangmian looks like he has a clear conscience, “Father wants to search, Yu Wang Fu naturally obey the order. The Yu Lin Guards can enter the residence to search as much as they want, but the patrol battalion’s people can’t enter!”

The Emperor glanced at Duan Fei, who immediately organized the men and horses to enter the mansion. Rong Xiangmian let the long residence officer with people to open the gate, invited the emperor to enter, to the main hall to sit down to rest, ordered people to serve tea. Also ordered all the family members in the house, all gathered in front of the council hall, according to the roster one by one, interrogation, in case someone mixed into it.

The search lasted half an hour.

The emperor was calmly drinking tea, but also concerned about King Li, asked, “What happened to your head?”

King Li was without his seven beads gold crown and his hair bun was a bit loose and messy.

Without waiting for him to say anything, Rong Xiangwang took the lead and knelt down to admit his mistake: “It was my humble servant’s fault. Just now I rushed to Yu Wang’s mansion and saw the King of Li holding a blade against my sister’s neck, and in my haste I had to interrupt His Highness with my bow and arrow, this is a great disrespect, and I am willing to take the blame.”

Only then did the emperor notice that Rong Xiangmian was wounded, and signaled her to go down to be bandaged, and complimented Rong Xiangmian: “This archery skill of yours is not inferior to your father’s.”

English Gong Dao: “Your Majesty, do you still remember the Mid-Autumn Night in the 10th year of Tian Sheng?”

“Why don’t you remember? That night, it was also like this day, the moonlight was in full bloom, Lao Qi decided to plot for chaos, we were surrounded by the chaotic army, and took refuge in this mountain and river street. At that time, it was also your second brother, who pierced through the head of the rebels with a long arrow, and only then was there a ray of hope.”

“Yes, how treacherous that night was. The old minister lost an arm, lost too much blood, and almost died. Fortunately, His Majesty did not leave the old minister behind, and the old minister kept his breath to see His Majesty ascend to the throne, and was also blessed with the grace of the Holy Spirit, and had a half-life of riches and honor.”

The emperor revisited the old place and was overwhelmed with thoughts, “Your loving minister was incredibly brave, fought in blood, and only lost his arm in order to save me, how could I leave you behind?”

“Your Majesty’s benevolence, the country’s dynasty is known. But I’m old and crippled, I don’t know, one day in the future, if I lose your majesty’s blessing, I’m a cripple and a family where to be buried ah.”

“Duke of England, who are you talking about?” King Li’s face was displeased, “Today’s matter has nothing to do with the Duke of State’s residence, it’s you who insisted on getting involved.”

“Although Princess Yu married into the royal family, she is always the blood of an old minister. She is a small person who has never seen such a big battle, if her mother’s family doesn’t back her up, I don’t know if she is now dead under His Highness the Li King’s sword! His Highness King Li’s holy favor is flourishing, and he was raised at the Empress’s knee, but the old minister will never give up his own child out of fear of the King Li!”

“I didn’t want to kill her, it was she herself who pulled out this king’s sword and blackmailed this king by killing herself. Since she wants to die, what’s wrong with this king fulfilling her?”

“Has King Li ever wondered why the Wangfei would rather die than follow her orders? She is a young woman guarding the royal residence alone, if so many men from the patrol battalion enter the royal residence to search for her, the rumors in the capital tomorrow would be enough to ruin Consort Yu’s reputation, and at that time, she would only be able to hang herself to death!”
