Invincible son

Chapter 584 583 [Pride]

"Snapped!"

This crisp slap was fast and hard, and a red palm print immediately appeared on Deng Zai's left cheek.

Although he has no official status yet, as the most valued leader of the personal soldiers around Pei Yue, Deng Zai has not experienced such humiliation for a long time.The soldiers behind them came from Lingzhou, and they naturally lacked the deep respect for the nobles in the capital. Seeing Deng Zai being humiliated at this moment, the six of them took a step forward at the same time, with murderous intent in their eyes.

Deng Zai stretched out his arms, signaling to his subordinates not to be impulsive. He looked at the girl in palace costume with a gloomy expression, tried his best to maintain restraint and said, "Your Highness, this is the courtyard of the Marquis of Zhongshan. It is really inconvenient to invite your Highness Go in. It's better to let the villain report to Lord Hou, he will definitely come as soon as possible."

Princess Pingyang sneered, "Are you threatening me with Pei Yue?"

Deng Zai replied calmly: "The villain dare not."

Now that he had guessed the identity of the girl in palace costume, he roughly understood the reason for the aggressiveness of the other party.

Emperor Kaiping raised relatively few children, and there were only six princes who grew up safely, and only two princesses.Princess Pingyang is 17 years old this year, and she is a compatriot with the eldest prince and one mother, both of whom are descendants of Concubine Wu.Before that little princess was born, she was the only daughter of the emperor, and she was extremely loved and pampered. Even her title was similar to that of Emperor Taizong's most beloved Princess Qiyang.

Concubine Wu Gui took great pains to teach the eldest prince, but she would not be too strict with Princess Pingyang, after all, she had to consider Emperor Kaiping's attitude.

Several adult princes cared for this younger sister very much, regardless of whether this behavior was out of sincerity or to please the emperor, they eventually developed Pingyang's arrogant and domineering character.As the eldest brother, the eldest prince Liu Xian has been responsive to Pingyang's needs all these years, and the relationship between brother and sister is close, which is almost known to everyone in the palace.

Princess Pingyang's visit today was not kind, presumably because of the eldest prince's marriage.

Previously, Pei Yue made troubles in Dingguo Mansion, and even fought against the emperor in the imperial study, which pushed the marriage between the First Prince and Pei Ning.Although this incident ended before it even started, it was not a secret among the upper circles.Even though no one dared to mock the First Prince publicly, it didn't mean that Liu Xian could take it calmly.

Even ordinary dignitaries pay attention to the word decent, Liu Xian, as the eldest prince, pays more attention to this point.

In any case, this time it was Pei Ning who took the initiative to reject him.

As the eldest prince's younger sister, Princess Pingyang is obviously looking for an opportunity to vent her anger on her elder brother.

Wanting to understand the joints here, it is even more impossible for Deng Zai to get out of the way.

Apart from Pei Ning, there were only two little maids in the courtyard. If this savage princess was allowed to break in, even if Pei Ning was just reprimanded, he would have no way to explain to Pei Yue.

Princess Pingyang looked at these soldiers blocking the door, and said angrily: "If you don't let the palace open, I won't spare you!"

Deng Zai took a deep breath, bowed his head and said, "His Royal Highness, we are the personal soldiers of Marquis Zhongshan, and the general dare not disobey the order of the Lord. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

Princess Pingyang stopped talking, and the guards around her walked forward.

"Don't do it!" Deng Zai whispered to his colleagues.

If it was an ordinary honorable person making trouble, of course he would not be so tolerant, but after all, the other party is the emperor's favorite princess, and she is also an unreasonable woman. .

It's nothing for them to be beaten, as long as they don't cause trouble for the young master, and don't disturb the female relatives in the yard, it won't be a waste of Pei Yue's respect and cultivation for them.

However, these guards around the princess don't think too much.

Xu Shi usually sees too many soft bones, and he develops a high-spirited temperament by being around Princess Pingyang. These people are very ruthless, and their fists and feet are directly greeted to the faces of these soldiers.

A soldier couldn't dodge in time, and was punched on the nose by the opponent, causing nosebleeds to proliferate instantly.

He didn't care to wipe the blood off his face, and stared at the man angrily.

"You bastard, what are you looking at?"

The guard sneered, then rushed up again.

The soldier suddenly grabbed the handle of the knife at his waist, at this moment Deng Zai suddenly raised his hand to press his wrist, and then turned around to block his kick.

"team leader!"

The soldiers couldn't help shouting angrily, their lips trembling slightly.

He didn't understand why he couldn't fight back. In Lingzhou, he had never been timid and cowering in fighting the enemy with Lord Hou. Now, facing a group of weak dogs, he had to endure this humiliation.Deng Zai could see the hatred in his eyes, but there was no way to explain this kind of thing in detail.Unlike these soldiers who were originally guarding the border, he grew up in Green Willow Manor, listening to his father's stories about the capital, he knew what imperial power meant.

But some people won't stop there.

Seeing these soldiers enduring punches and kicks, but still blocking the gate of the small courtyard and refusing to give in, Princess Pingyang couldn't help being really angry, and scolded: "Since they won't give in, then kill them!"

"Your Highness, calm down, Your Highness, please calm down." The eunuch next to him cautiously persuaded with a tangled expression.

Princess Pingyang turned her head and looked at him coldly.

The inner supervisor was suffering in his heart. These people were closely followed by Zhongshan Hou.Moreover, the relationship between the two parties is already full of hatred, and they don't expect to get closer in the future. If they are offended, they will be offended.But if all these personal soldiers were killed, how could Madman Pei give up?
Walking in the palace, he certainly knew that His Majesty's attitude towards this young dignitary was different, and he was closer than others.If it's just a trivial matter like a fight between the guards, His Majesty can still beat each of them fifty slaps, but if there is blood, I'm afraid there will be a big mess.

But how could Princess Pingyang listen to his dissuasion?
"Shut up! Otherwise, I'll get the hell out of here!"

Princess Pingyang's words made the inner prison shudder, and then said to the guards: "Do it!"

Hearing the continuous sound of dragon chant, the guards drew out their sabers one after another.

The situation suddenly fell into an extremely tense situation, and the six soldiers looked at Deng Zai in the middle at the same time.

They were all injured from the punch and kick just now. These flesh and blood injuries can still hold up, but then they have to stand and be hacked to death?

Deng Zai looked at Princess Pingyang and said in a deep voice, "Does Your Highness really not consider the consequences?"

Princess Pingyang raised her head slightly, and said contemptuously: "You deserve it?"

Deng Zai's right hand slowly reached for the handle of the knife at his waist.

"Deng Zai." Pei Ning's gentle voice suddenly came from behind.

Deng Zai stopped moving his hands, turned around and said respectfully, "Miss."

Pei Ning looked at the wounds of the soldiers and the anger on their faces, sighed in his heart, and then said softly: "How can we turn away visitors? Let's get out of the way, Your Royal Highness, please come in."

Deng Zai showed hesitation, but after seeing Pei Ning's concerned eyes, he bowed his head gratefully: "Yes."
