Datang all-rounder

Chapter 286

As soon as he stepped out of the gate of the imperial study, Wang Ke's face that was full of smiles just now collapsed. Now Wang Ke already felt that his stomach was aching from hunger, and he began to scold Comrade Li Er in his heart. A behavior that only cares about one's own happiness, regardless of the life or death of others.

Li Ke, who was walking beside Wang Ke, saw that Wang Ke's face was not right, and he didn't think why Wang Ke changed his face so suddenly, so he asked strangely.

Wang Ke was so angry that he had nowhere to vent his anger, and now he was no longer in Comrade Li Er's imperial study, Wang Ke was like a flood that had found an outlet for venting, and immediately lashed out at Li Ke.

At this time, Li Ke was already feeling hungry. Of course, he also understood Wang Ke's mood at this time, so he didn't retaliate. He just walked out with Wang Ke. Anyway, he also knew that Wang Ke said something. I'm tired after the meeting, so naturally I won't talk about it anymore. Who told me to mention the four-wheeled carriage just now, but it has been delayed until now, and everyone is so hungry!
As soon as the two of them turned out of the courtyard where the imperial study room was located, they saw a few figures approaching in front of them. Looking at the way the lanterns surrounded them, they knew that someone in the palace had just come from somewhere and was about to return to their own palace. go.

Before Wang Ke could see the words on the lantern, Li Ke pulled him aside, and Li Ke's deliberately lowered voice came from his ear: "It's the prince, let's get out of the way."

When Wang Ke heard that it was the prince, he felt very uncomfortable, but thought that there was no need to conflict with the prince at this time, so he dodged to the side reluctantly.

But at this time, the prince and his party had already seen them, because Wang Ke and the others were standing in a dark place without a lantern. After a messy sound of drawing knives, the prince was surrounded by a group of guards. The prince's followers all shrank behind the guards, poking their heads out timidly to peep in the direction where Wang Ke and the others were standing.

A guard with the appearance of a military officer protected his chest with a knife, took two steps forward, and asked in a deep voice, "Who is it? Stand up now!"

Wang Ke knew that he had been seen, and it would be impossible if he didn't stand up now. After all, Li Chengqian still bears the name of a prince, so he stood up and bent down to salute Li Chengqian. Unexpectedly, Li Chengqian beside him Ke moved faster than him, and stood in front of Wang Ke in a flash, looking at the officer with his hands behind his back.

As soon as Wang Ke and the two stood out from the dark corner, they were already standing in the promenade, and the light from the lantern under the eaves of the promenade immediately illuminated the faces of Wang Ke and Li Ke.

Li Ke bent slightly towards Li Chengqian, without saying a word, and still looked at the officer who was yelling at them with his eyes.

Now Wang Ke looked at Li Ke differently. Seeing Li Chengqian, Li Ke actually dared to violate the rules and just nodded to Prince Li Chengqian instead of bowing down to salute, which Wang Ke never thought of.

When Li Chengqian saw that it was Li Ke and Wang Ke, he was taken aback for a moment. He knew that Comrade Li Er wanted to call these two people in today. If you don't die, you have to peel off your skin.

As soon as I was happy, I knew that Comrade Li Er didn't have time to talk to me today, so I took a group of people out of the palace to play and only came back now. I didn't expect that when I came back, I saw these two people standing in front of my eyes. I know that today they escaped from this pass again, maybe they came out after eating at Comrade Li Er's place, after all, at this time, the time for eating in the palace is already past.

Li Chengqian's previous good mood disappeared without a trace, his face was covered with frost, and an unknown fire burst up in his heart.

Comrade Li Er didn't punish them, but he couldn't just let them go so easily, no matter what he had to let them suffer a little!
In fact, Li Chengqian didn't have any deep hatred for Li Ke, it was just because Li Ke was walking with Wang Ke now, and Li Chengqian hated Wang Ke so much that he couldn't help but implicate Li Ke at once.

Standing behind Li Ke, Wang Ke saw that Li Chengqian's face had changed, and knew that the situation was not good. If he didn't step forward to salute and stand on his feet, even if Li Chengqian wanted to fix himself, he would not be able to say half of it. No words.

Wang Ke hurriedly bypassed Li Ke, bowed deeply to Li Chengqian and said, "Seeing His Royal Highness coming, I wanted to avoid it and wait for His Royal Highness to arrive before saluting, but this lord called out, so I had to come out to meet him. I bumped into the Prince." Your Highness and his party, please forgive your sins, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

As for the officer who was flaunting his power just now, when he saw that his name was His Highness the Third King of Wu, he was already a little frightened, and now he saw that it was Wang Ke who came out from behind Li Ke, and he was even more frightened. Not light.

As for Li Ke, because they didn't have much contact with him, Li Ke wouldn't hang out with the guards on weekdays, so they weren't particularly worried, but Wang Ke was different. Ke no longer serves in the Guard Army, but everyone knows that he is still very popular in the Guard Army. Even Duan Zhixuan, the commander of the Guard Army, has a deep friendship with Wang Ke. I'm afraid it won't be better.

In addition, after Wang Ke saluted Li Chengqian, he stood up and glanced at the officer, which made the officer mutter in his heart, wondering what Wang Ke meant when he looked at him. The officer involuntarily took two steps back, and immediately stood beside the soldiers surrounding Li Chengqian.

And the soldiers who pulled out their waist knives just now and kept Li Chengqian tightly in the middle, after seeing clearly that it was Li Ke and Wang Ke, all relaxed their vigilance one after another, and put all their waist knives back into their scabbards. In the same place, but it is obvious that the tense atmosphere just now is gone.

All this was seen by Li Chengqian, which was a normal thing, but because of his hatred for Wang Ke, he felt that in the eyes of these soldiers, Wang Ke was much more prestigious than him.

Li Chengqian snorted coldly, and said in a cold tone: "It's so late, what are you doing here in the palace? If you hadn't met Ben Gong, would you have done something, and you didn't invite it!"

As soon as Li Chengqian said this, Li Ke and Wang Ke were so angry that they were half dead. What are you talking about? It was because of your mischief that Comrade Li Er summoned the two of them into the palace. The matter was taken away, but Comrade Li Er dragged him to talk about it. Up to now, he was so hungry that his chest was stuck to his back. Now that Li Chengqian is messing around again, he really doesn't know when he can go home to fill his stomach up.

For a moment, both Wang Ke and Li Ke's faces were ugly. Both of them looked at the prince without saying a word. They were too lazy to answer Li Chengqian's question. They both knew that Li Chengqian was just making trouble for no reason. As soon as he starts talking, Zhunbao will have to delay a lot of time, and he won't be able to leave for a while. He just hopes that if he doesn't talk now, it will be fine if Li Chengqian feels bored.

But now the prince is already furious, how can he think of so much, he only wants to make Wang Ke and Li Ke suffer, but he can't think of anything else.

Seeing that the two of them had no intention of answering his question, Li Chengqian was even more furious, and shouted at Wang Ke and Li Ke: "I asked you something, why didn't you answer it? Could it be that this palace is asking you something, why don't you answer?" Are you not qualified enough!"

Seeing Li Chengqian like this, Wang Ke knew that there would never be a good death today. If he didn't suppress the prince's arrogance today, he might be in trouble in the future.

Just as Wang Ke was about to open his mouth, he saw that Li Ke was also eager to try. Wang Ke immediately knew that the Third Highness, who had always been cautious before, had regained his confidence and was about to fight back.

Wang Ke hurriedly took a step back towards Li Ke's side, and said in a voice that only Li Ke could hear: "Don't get excited, speak slowly!"

Li Ke, who was about to shoot at Li Chengqian, was woken up by Wang Ke's words. He was still angry, but Li Ke, who was so angry in his heart, calmed down. If that is the case, even if it is something that is reasonable to me, it will become unreasonable in the end. Who calls him a prince? With this status, it will be a disadvantage for me to fight hard with him.

After figuring this out, Li Ke's tone calmed down immediately, and he bowed to Li Chengqian and said, "Brother Huang, today is because my father called my younger brother and Mr. Wang into the palace to discuss matters, and because there are too many things to talk about, it is delayed until now." Now, when I came out and saw Brother Huang passing by, I wanted to step aside and make Brother Huang want to leave. Now that Brother Huang is pushing you so hard, I'm afraid something is wrong!"

Li Ke's words are soft and hard, but they are also tenable. This is the fact, even if it is said, it doesn't matter. What's more, he just said that Comrade Li Er asked him to enter the palace today just for discussion, and he didn't say it directly. Today's incident was caused by Li Chengqian, and he pretended not to know that today's incident was caused by Li Chengqian, but Li Ke also knew that Li Chengqian should understand the cause of today's incident.

Regarding Li Ke's answer, Wang Ke also agrees very much in his ears. Li Ke's words not only told the truth today, but also expressed an attitude to Li Chengqian: If you want to punish people, you should also look at your opponent. For strength, you have to find an appropriate time and a sufficient reason. Don’t always use these trivial things as an excuse. There is no way to achieve your goal. If you keep doing this, don’t blame us for fighting back!

Li Ke's words were cryptic, but Li Chengqian could still hear it. The anger in his heart was nothing to Li Ke at first, but because Li Ke and Wang Ke were mixed together, out of hatred for Wang Ke, he also had feelings for Li Ke. Ke's little hatred has now turned into the same hatred for Li Ke and Wang Ke, and he feels that the superiority he has cultivated since childhood has been seriously challenged.

What Li Chengqian didn't understand even more was that he couldn't figure out why this little brother who had always been allowed to be bullied by him would have the courage to sing against him today. His cowardly performance in the past Now there is nothing left.

Now Li Chengqian has been dazzled by anger, and he can't calm down and think about whether his behavior has exceeded the scope of his identity. He yelled and ordered the soldiers around him to take Li Ke and Wang Ke down. It is necessary to properly interrogate the purpose of these two thieves who trespassed in the inner palace. Li Chengqian's voice was so loud under the silent night sky.

After all, Li Ke had never seen such a battle, so he didn't know what to say, he could only stand there blankly, looking at Wang Ke, to see what Wang Ke could do.

Knowing that it would be impossible to count on Li Ke at this time, Wang Ke coughed lightly and said, "His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness King Wu has already explained the reason to you. His Royal Highness and his servants are just summoned by the emperor to enter the palace to discuss matters. Now If His Royal Highness wants to take the two of us down, shouldn’t he also let the Emperor know, if the Crown Prince decides on his own, if the Emperor asks about it in the future, His Royal Highness may not be able to explain clearly!”

"I'm the crown prince, and I have nothing to do with the affairs of the palace. I don't want to tell my father or not, I have my own discretion, and I don't need you, a courtier, to teach me. Come on, take it with me!"

At this time, Li Chengqian was almost insane, how could he want so much, he only wanted to take down Wang Ke and Li Ke, and rectify them well, and he couldn't think of anything else at all.

The soldiers behind Li Chengqian now understand that Wang Ke and Li Ke must be taken down, but it is easy to say but difficult to do. Now it is just the crown prince messing around. For this crime, everyone stood in place, and no one stepped forward to make a move.

Seeing that no one obeyed his order, Li Chengqian felt even more upset, and shouted again loudly, forcing these soldiers to do something, and also ordered a group of followers in his palace who followed him out of the palace to come forward to help.

Seeing that Li Chengqian looked like this, Wang Ke knew that if these soldiers didn't do anything again, Li Chengqian would be angry with them, so he sighed and said, "Just obey the prince's order. The emperor explained."

Hearing what Wang Ke said, the leading officer saluted Li Ke and Wang Ke, saying "forgive me", and led the soldiers towards Li Ke and Wang Ke, intending to tie Wang Ke and Li Ke.

And Wang Ke also winked at Li Ke again and again, telling him not to resist and let the soldiers bind him. Anyway, Li Chengqian didn't dare to take their lives. When they were released, it would not be too late to go to Comrade Li Er to file a complaint.

Li Ke understood what Wang Ke meant, smiled, looked at Li Chengqian with contemptuous eyes, put his hands behind his back, turned his back to Li Chengqian and a group of soldiers, and waited for the soldiers to come forward to bind him .

At this time, Li Ke, if there was still a trace of hesitation in the past, thinking about whether to push Li Chengqian off the throne of the crown prince and let himself sit in the seat of the crown prince, then in his heart now, he has no respect for Li Chengqian at all. His compassionate heart strengthened his determination to take down Li Chengqian and put himself in the position!

In the past, Li Chengqian's insults to himself have also turned into a flood of hatred towards Li Chengqian. When he takes over the position in the future, he will add it to Li Chengqian bit by bit, and let him know that he must pay back for insulting others. , in the past 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, Feng Shui will take turns!
Just when the ropes in the hands of the soldiers were about to fall on Li Ke and Wang Ke, Wang Ke and Li Ke saw two figures turning around the corner at the same time, and a voice came over: "What are you doing?" What about it? My majestic Prince of the Tang Dynasty and important court officials are not even allowed to walk in the inner palace. Could it be that I am not allowed to summon my son and ministers!"

As soon as these words came out, all the soldiers stopped their movements at once, and saluted the figure approaching the opposite one after another.

Wang Ke and Li Ke looked at each other even more, with knowing smiles on their faces. The two of them knew that this was the savior, and now they are at the end.

But the crown prince Li Chengqian and Li Chengqian's entourage were all stunned, and everyone's complexion had turned pale, especially the prince, who knew that not only his idea would not succeed, but he would also be reprimanded for it. , I am afraid that my future life will be difficult again!

Everyone present knows that if someone dares to speak in this tone, not to mention in the entire palace, even in the entire Tang Dynasty, there is only one person who can speak in such a tone, and that is His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Empire, Li Er Comrade!
