Chapter 386 Brother 380 Chapter Nine
Everyone in the house looked ready to fight.

But Li Chongjiu's guard behind the door laid his hands and said, "It turns out that he is from his hometown, but General Wang is not in the barracks now. You might as well go back and come back tomorrow."

After saying this, the other three guards drew their sabers and went forward and fell to the ground. When the opponent smashed through the gate, they could take advantage of the chaos and fight to open the way, acting as pawns in front of the horse, and fighting for Li Chongjiu, Xu Shiji, and General Wagang behind them. the way.

"Isn't it even okay to go in and drink water?"

"No." The guard replied bluntly. At the same time, he thought that the other party was too stupid. If he took advantage of his surprise and broke in at the beginning, he might still have a chance, but now that the inside and outside of the house are all ready, they want to Entering again will definitely be a setback, enough to wait until the reinforcements from the southern barracks arrive.

Outside the door, Fu Yi turned to face Yang Ehuang, Qu Yanran said: "People here are so rude, they don't let people in when they get to the door, what should I do?"

Qu Yanran said: "That is also impossible."

Yang Hao said: "Master Qu, you don't have ordinary guards, you have them here, forgive Li Shimin..."

Qu Yanran said: "Nowadays is different. After Li Shimin entered the city, he heard that Duke Wei had planned to surrender to Tang, so now in Liyang City, Duke Wei has to give Li Shimin some face. If Duke Wei supports me, what are my guards? "

"Master Qu is really well-informed, so what should we do now?" Yang Hao said anxiously.

Qu Yanran said: "What skills do I have, but I only learned about them from benefactors. Now we have to leave the city as soon as possible. In the village outside, I have a trustworthy family to live in temporarily."

Yang Ehuang nodded.

Before leaving, he brushed his clothes and said angrily: "Really, I really want to break open the door and come in."

After finishing speaking, Fu Yi ignored the lady, stretched out his foot and kicked the door heavily.The door shook a few times.

Qu Yanran only heard a few clang clangs coming from behind the door. Qu Yanran heard it clearly, it was clearly the sound of drawing a knife, so of course she lowered her voice and said, "We can't stay here for long, let's go."

Just as they turned around, there was a sudden sound of horseshoes on the street.

"Not good," Qu Yanran took Yang Ehuang's hand and ran towards the end of the street. King Qi and Fuyi followed in panic.

But after the crowd walked a few steps, another group of cavalry came from the end of the street and cut off their retreat.

Yang Ehuang and Qu Yanran could only stop together, and saw dozens of cavalry galloping in the street, showing off their equestrian skills.

Dozens of cavalry came from the end of the street and surrounded them from both sides. Several cavalry deliberately rode their horses and passed by. Fu Yi couldn't help screaming in fear. In front of Wang Junkuo's door.

The horse snorted, and the cavalry had no expression on their faces, but they seemed to be mocking, as if an eagle was playing with its prey.

Yang Hao was frightened and could only barely lean against the wall. Fuyi was almost hit by a horse just now, and his face was pale.

Immediately, the cavalry parted, and the two riders came out to be Qin Wang Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji.

Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji stopped their horses together, then got off their horses and stepped forward together.

Li Shimin clasped his fists and said: "The two of you are overdue, Shimin was worried, and left again for some reason, but Shimin's hospitality was not good enough?"

Li Shimin spoke very politely, but the eldest grandson Wuji behind him looked unkind, while the rest of the cavalry all looked sideways, holding sabers in their hands. These cavalry were all Qin King's guards, and they were elite soldiers in all battles.Even standing there silently, there is a murderous look on his body, which is only after countless life and death fights on the battlefield.

Such a ferocious and fierce soldier, who would not be terrified when others see it.

In the street, there were pedestrians walking left and right, but the alleys were already empty at this time, and the doors and windows of every house were tightly closed.

Seeing Li Shimin's question, Yang Hao said in a trembling voice, "The king of Qin is kind, but there is a reason for the incident, so please forgive me for not being able to go to Guanzhong for the time being."

Li Shimin smiled and said: "What's the trouble? If there are any minor matters, please ask Shimin to do it for you two."

Yang Hao forced a smile, shook his hands and said, "How dare you trouble the King of Qin with trivial matters."

Changsun Wuji said at the side: "His Royal Highness, today you left from the carriage, the last general gave you courtesy repeatedly, and did not force you to stay. It is out of kindness for the King of Qin to come here to invite you personally. If Your Highness refuses, it will not only hurt you." King Qin's kindness has even insulted me, Datang."

Changsun Wuji's words were aggressive, Qu Yanran and Fuyi couldn't help showing indignation.Yang Hao also dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.

"Auxiliary machine, don't be rude, and don't apologize to King Qi." Li Shimin said.

Changsun Wuji stepped forward and clasped his fists, saying: "The last general is rude, please forgive me. But please think twice, King Qi."

Hearing the elder Sun Wuji's apology, Yang Hao lowered his voice and asked Yang Ehuang and Qu Yanran for help, "What should we do? I'm afraid that if we don't submit to the battle of the Li Clan, they might not want to give up. "

Yang Ehuang and Qu Yanran looked at each other, Qu Yanran shook her head at this moment, obviously she had no choice.

At this time, Emperor Yang E took a few steps forward and walked straight to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin took into account the status of Yu Yang Ehuang, and immediately said with his fists in his hands: "What advice does Your Highness Princess have?"

Yang Ehuang said: "I appreciate His Royal Highness King Qin's kindness, but please forgive me for saying it bluntly, since it is an invitation, whether to go or not is up to us to decide whether to go or not. Go, and I have never heard of the master's family wanting to stay."

"What's more, you led people to block us here. How dare you ask Li Tang to invite people to fight like this?"

Li Shimin saw Yang Ehuang coming forward, under the eyes of his own people, he said loudly.Although Yang Ehuang's words were a bit blunt, he questioned himself in a clear way, with a kind of demeanor that no one dared to insult.

Li Shimin thought to himself, when he heard from his father that when he went to Xijing to meet the emperor and empress, he saw Empress Xiao being virtuous and respectful to the world, but today he sees empress Xiao's demeanor from the princess.Although the other party has not yet sharpened and is a little green, but the nobles of the Tian family, after all, are much stronger than the king of Qi who is strong outside and middle-ranked.

Li Shimin clasped his fists immediately and said: "Princess, forgive me, Princess Qi Wang is Li's distinguished guest, how can you force me to invite you, but there are quite a lot of thieves in the city, these people are all accompanied by my guards, there is no other intention. "
At that moment Li Shimin shouted: "Everyone, step back ten steps."

With Li Shimin's order, the soldiers of Prince Qin's Mansion retreated in unison, marching in an orderly manner like arms and fingers.

Li Shimin cupped his hands and said: "Shimin has already shown his sincerity, why do you two have any worries? Master Qu, my father has heard your pipa in Chang'an. It is unparalleled in the world. It can go around the bridge for three days without a break, so I want to experience it early. Let’s go to Chang’an together.”

Li Shimin's voice is calm, but it has a taste that no one can refuse. This is the self-confidence of someone who has long mastered life and death and seized power.
Qu Yanran's face changed slightly, Li Shimin not only wanted to bring him into Chang'an, but also a kind of coercion.He kept saying that he would not coerce Yang Ehuang, but it was easy to coerce himself.

Li Shimin is forcing Princess Changle to submit.

Qu Yanran smiled and said, "Thank you Tang Wang and Qin Wang for your love, Yanran is going to Chang'an next stop?"

At that moment, Qu Yanran said to Yang Ehuang in a low voice: "Sister, I have many friends in Chang'an, King Qin, don't dare to embarrass me, you don't have to take care of me yourself."

"Sister, I will not leave you." Yang Ehuang turned around.

"I heard that the king of Qin is heroic, able to promote wealth and support men, and make friends with heroes, but seeing you bullying the weak and bullying the weak today, I am really disappointed."

Just at this moment, someone uttered a voice. These words were not polite at all, and Li Shimin's face was stripped face to face.

As soon as the words came out, all the people present were shocked.

Changsun Wuji shouted: "Who the hell is that? He's so timid over there, why don't he stand up and speak out?"

Suddenly, the door behind Yang Ehuang and Qu Yanran opened, and a man in cloth jacket and soap towel came out with a knife in his hand.
Seeing the man suddenly, Qu Yanran couldn't help but let out a whisper, her eyes were full of surprise and surprise, but Yang Ehuang was a little absent-minded, her body trembling slightly, while King Qi, Fuyi was stunned, I wonder if this person is not afraid of death?He actually refuted the King of Qin, but after a closer look, he suddenly felt that this person seemed somewhat familiar.
Li Shimin glanced at Yang Ehuang, then looked at Li Chongjiu, his eyes flashed, and he said: "So it's Brother Li, did he wait here a long time ago?"

Hearing what Li Shimin said, Changsun Wuji's heart shuddered, and immediately, together with the guards of Prince Qin's mansion, they scanned the roofs to see if there were archers lying in ambush on the roofs.

Li Chongjiu smiled slightly, and did not answer Li Shimin's words, but turned to Yang Wei, Yang Ehuang, and said in a courtier's respect: "Li Chongjiu kowtowed to His Royal Highness Qi Wang, Princess Changle, seeing that he was one step late, so the princess and Qi The king is in trouble, please forgive me."
When Yang Hao heard the words Li Chongjiu, he showed an expression of surprise and surprise. He immediately put his hands together to help Li Chongjiu up, but then raised his airs and coughed lightly. He said: "Inspector Li, what crime is there, please forgive me."

Li Chongjiu hadn't been sure about King Qi and Princess Changle's intentions before, but he was pleasantly surprised when he saw Yang Hao's appearance of treating himself as a rescuer.

Li Shimin wants to fight for the King of Qi, and Princess Changle is very clear about what she thinks. Li Yuan now calls himself the Son of Heaven. Although he no longer needs the banner of the Great Sui Dynasty, he still needs the name and prestige of the Great Sui clan to win over the officials of the old dynasty and the hearts of the people. , and at the same time prevent it from being obtained by other anti-kings, as a slogan against oneself.

As for Li Chongjiu, who has no name, no righteousness, no prestige but is very powerful, King Qi and Princess Changle...

Just as Li Chongjiu was thinking carefully, he saw Princess Changle's wonderful eyes staring at him.

Seeing the other party's gentle eyes, Li Chongjiu couldn't help but tremble in his heart.
