The Emperor's Favorite: The Beauty Disturbs the World

Chapter 94 Falling off the Cliff

"Father, why did you come back so late again? Mother is waiting for you to eat in the flower hall!" A little boy carved in pink and jade said childishly while holding Zhang Jiuling's robe corner.

"I have to deal with important state affairs for my father, so I don't have to wait for dinner in the future!" Although Zhang Jiuling was usually serious, he was really happy to see his youngest son at this time, picked him up, and walked to the flower hall.

"Today's homework is finished?" Zhang Jiuling put his youngest son in front of the case and asked.

Zhang Jiuling's wife, Mrs. Qi, picked up a pair of bamboo chopsticks, handed them to Zhang Jiuling, and said with a smile, "Sir, you don't need to test Zheng'er's homework for dinner!"

"How can that be done!" Zhang Jiuling rolled up his sleeves and knelt down beside the desk.

Qi said: "You are busy every day, and it is hard for the family to have a meal together, so stop talking about these serious matters!"

Seeing his wife's helpless expression and his son's eager anticipation, Zhang Jiuling had no choice but to swallow everything he wanted to say, picked up a vegetable, put it in his wife's bowl, and said, "Let you and I live in such poverty It's a hard day for you!"

Qi smiled faintly, "I can see Xianggong and Zheng'er every day, it's worth it for me to work hard!"

"Mom! You eat this!" Zheng'er stretched out his arms, wanting to pick up the only meat dish beside the table for his mother to eat.

Zhang Jiuling hit his little hand with chopsticks, and said seriously: "It's right to honor your mother, but you must pay attention to etiquette!" After Zheng'er heard this, he lowered his head in disappointment.

Qi secretly laughed: Xianggong is so rigid, and he doesn't know how to be flexible.Looking at his son's pouted mouth, he just wanted to say something to comfort him, but he heard the housekeeper yelling outside the hall: "My lord! It's not good!"

"Why panic! Disorganized!" Seeing the butler with his hat tilted, almost climbing in with hands and feet, Zhang Jiuling scolded with a flick of his sleeves.

The housekeeper said: "The big thing is bad! A group of bandits came to Chang'an City, burning, killing and looting everywhere!"

"Really!" Qi was so frightened that he held his youngest son in his arms.

"Really, really!" The housekeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Zhang Jiuling said angrily: "Nonsense! There are bandits in the capital city! Don't talk nonsense here!"

The butler boldly pulled Zhang Jiuling's robe and said, "My lord, go to the courtyard and have a look. Master Cai's house in the east of Chang'an City is on fire. It must have been looted! Let's get out of the city to avoid it!"

Looking at the fiery red sky in the east, Zhang Jiuling realized that something serious happened to Chang'an City!But he absolutely did not believe that this was done by bandits. Did something happen to Li Longji in Lishan?Some people want to fish in troubled waters to usurp the throne!This is a big deal!
"Old Zhao, take your wife and young master to find a place to hide!" Zhang Jiuling ordered.

"No!" Lao Zhao picked up the young master from Qi's arms and was about to flee the door, Qi said: "What should you do, Mr. Qi?"

Zhang Jiuling straightened his clothes and said: "I am the Prime Minister of the current court. The chaos in Chang'an City must not stand idly by. I will go to Jinwu General Heng Hui to dispatch troops to quell the chaos!"

"My lord! You are alone, and if you don't reach General Jin Wu's barracks, you will be hacked to death with random knives!" Steward Zhao persuaded, blowing his beard and staring at him angrily.

Zhang Jiuling frowned, and said impatiently: "Don't say too much, take your wife and children away!"

Lao Zhao had no choice but to take Qi Shi to hide in his own home, Qi Shi stomped his feet and cursed inwardly: It's really dead!Said: "Uncle Zhao, take Zheng'er away, and I will stay here with my husband!"

"Hey!" Lao Zhao looked at Qi's insistence, and hurriedly led the young master to go out through the side door.

Zhang Jiuling looked at his wife with firm eyes, and just wanted to persuade him a few words, when he saw Lao Zhao, who was holding Zheng'er, drenched in cold sweat, and retreated step by step!Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen gray-clothed assassins with weapons in their hands poured in from the main entrance, side entrance, and all directions.

"Master Zhang, where are you going with your wife and children?" The first person covered his face and teased.

Zhang Jiuling said: "Shameless bastard, you don't deserve to talk to me!"

The man in gray smiled and said, "Master Zhang still has such a stubborn temper! What a pity, if you can be used by us, you can still save your life, but now it seems that this is very unlikely!"

"It's good to know!" Zhang Jiuling flicked his sleeves and stopped talking to him.

The man in gray said: "I know Mr. Zhang is not afraid of death! But... hehe!" He said and walked towards Qi, wanting to take off her clothes.

"Shameless!" Qi struggled to break free from the grasp of the gray-clothed man, but in vain, Zhang Jiuling said angrily: "A man, if you attack women and children, you are worse than a beast!"

The leader man in gray clothes said: "It's a nerd like you who can't even protect his wife well and speaks righteously every day. You don't have any shame!" Zhang Jiuling's blood surged with his words, and he rushed forward to fight him bare-handed.

"Hey! You're looking for death!" The leading man in gray put the steel knife on his neck and said with a smile, "I'll play with your wife first, and then I'll send you to see the King of Hades!"

"You!" Zhang Jiuling broke his eyes.

A gray-clothed man said: "Boss, stop making trouble, kill the matter quickly, and don't ruin the important matter of the lord!"

The leader in gray clothes said: "It doesn't matter! This Jiuling is the person the lord hates the most! If you humiliate him, the lord will definitely reward us even more."

The gray-clothed man hesitated for a moment, and persuaded: "The night has long dreams, it's better to be careful!"

"Stop nagging! The life and death of the dog emperor is uncertain, and the city of Chang'an is in chaos. Who else can save this old man who always offends others!" The leader's man in gray wanted to tear off Qi's coat indifferently. .

"Crack!" Zhang Jiuling struggled desperately, breaking both arms!Old Zhao whimpered and covered Zheng'er's eyes. Although the child was young, he seemed to understand what happened, so he cried out loudly.

"Ah!!" Before everyone could react, the hand of the leader man in gray who was about to grab Qi's clothes was cut off at the wrist and fell to the ground. He stood there for a few seconds, and then It was a scream like a pig being killed.

"Bold madman, how dare you be rude to Mrs. Zhang!" Heng Hui clasped his fists together and said to Zhang Jiuling: "Jinwu Deputy General Heng Hui came a step late, and surprised you, please forgive me!"

Although Zhang Jiuling's arms were fractured, he said calmly as if nothing happened: "Thank you, General Heng!"

Heng Hui smiled slightly, then turned to his opponent and said, "Catch them all and keep them alive!"

Following the exit of the soaring Nuo word, hundreds of Jinwu guards cleaned the gray-clothed assassins in the courtyard. Who would have thought that although the number of assassins was small, there were indeed many good fighters among them. Although there were many Jinwu guards brought by Henghui, But they are all soldiers in the barracks, so it is not a problem to go to battle, and they are at a disadvantage when fighting alone, so five or six people besieged an assassin. After a few rounds, although many people died, those assassins were outnumbered. Out of seven people died in the battle, the remaining ten people were all captured.

Zhang Jiuling said angrily, "Say, who sent you here!"

The group of gray-clothed men looked at each other without answering, Heng Hui looked at their expressions and secretly said: Not good!Just as they were about to step forward to stop them, black blood dripped from the corners of their mouths, and they fell to the ground and died one after another.

"All of them are dead men! I don't know who is so powerful and can support so many dead men!" Heng Hui exclaimed.

Zhang Jiuling said: "The lord in this group of people is probably a wolf with ambition, and his ambition is not small!"

Heng Hui was startled when he saw the messy corpses, nodded, and said, "Master Zhang, I'll help you fix the dislocated arm!"

Zhang Jiuling said: "No rush! I wonder if General Heng has sent someone to contact General Hengyue, Brother Ling? How is Your Majesty now!"

Seeing that he ignored his injury, Heng Hui asked Li Longji first, and had to admire his loyalty, so he said: "After I connect the lord's arm first, I will go into the room and discuss it in detail!"

Zhang Jiuling said: "Alright! Old Zhao, settle the wife and young master well!"

Qi was frightened, picked up the child and went into the inner room without saying a word.

Zhang Jiuling and Heng Hui stayed in the study, talking all night long.
