Chapter 127 The fight started
When Han Xing arrived, he saw Jin Sui and his horse leisurely and asked anxiously: "Where are Miss Yan and Lord Gu?"
Jin Sui pointed casually: "He's going to hunt fire foxes."
Han Xing was very anxious: "They went alone? Not good!"
Jin Sui smiled and said, "Why are you so anxious? Are you afraid that they will fight?"
Han Xing couldn't tell Yan Shier Niang about the peeping in the morning, because Miss Yan was very angry with Lord Gu!
Lord Gu is indifferent to everyone except the prince, and he and Miss Yan have disliked each other for a long time.
Both of them are holding weapons now! How could the prince be so bold as to let them be alone? He hurriedly said, "I think there are many misunderstandings between Miss Yan and Lord Gu. I'm afraid it's not safe for them to be alone. I'll go after them now."
Jin Sui hurriedly held him back: "Wait a minute, I finally gave them a chance to be alone, don't disturb them!"
Han Xing was startled: "What do you mean, my lord?"
Jin Sui laughed like an old matchmaker and said, "Don't you think Lord Gu and Miss Yan are a perfect match?
It is said that men on the hunting ground are most likely to attract women. Lord Gu is a good archer. Maybe Miss Yan will be attracted to him when she sees his majestic figure while hunting!"
Han Xing's face turned pale, and he lowered his eyes to hide his panic, and whispered:
"Lord Gu is only a seventh-rank imperial guard. Even if he is the prince's personal guard, he is not worthy of the Yan family's legitimate daughter. The prince's actions will anger the head of the Yan family."
Jin Sui was stroking his chin and imagining that Gu Changxiao and Yan Shier Niang were in love with each other, so what benefit could he get from being a matchmaker?
But I heard something wrong in Han Xing's words. I didn't expect that our Captain Han, who looked so upright, handsome, and capable, would have an inferiority complex in his heart! That's right, it was an inferiority complex. He was talking about Gu Changxiao's identity, but he was also talking about himself.
If a seventh-rank imperial guard is not worthy of the legitimate daughter of the Yan family, then he, an eighth-rank captain, is even less worthy of a woman of noble status.
Jin Sui wanted to teach our Lord Han a lesson, and immediately stood up and said, "Captain Han, what you said is wrong."
Han Xing lowered his hands and listened attentively. Jin Sui continued, "There is a saying since ancient times that kings, dukes, generals and ministers are of different species! Although this world divides people into different classes, we cannot look down on ourselves!"
"So what if you are an eighth-rank lieutenant or a seventh-rank imperial cavalryman? Is that how you define your future? Who knows if you will be granted a title of nobility or a general in the future?"
"Others look down on us because they are blind. We should not look down on ourselves."
"So what if she's the legitimate daughter of the Yan family? As long as you like her, even if she's a princess, we should work hard to win her over! Instead of denying ourselves first."
"You saw it with your own eyes. The Zheng family is a century-old noble family, but they are all drunkards and idiots. They destroyed the family overnight."
"Even in the royal family, changing dynasties is a common thing. Our birth is determined by heaven, we cannot choose it, but our efforts in the future are something we can choose!"
"I will never allow you to say anything about whether you are worthy or not. All of my subordinates are elites and worthy of any woman in the world!"
Han Xing looked up at the prince. While his blood boiled with excitement, he also felt that his prince was truly one-of-a-kind in the world.
He seemed to be always so confident, no matter he brought a few people to ask Jiang Nansheng for people and supplies, came to the border town penniless, or dared to offend the Zheng family to death.
With only a few thousand soldiers on the border, they dared to confront the Tartars head-on.
You say he is bragging, but he does it without any psychological burden, as if in his cognition, this is the fact and not bragging at all.
Once you have made up your mind, you will stick to it no matter how difficult it is.
There is no ravine in front of a tiger.
What the prince said to Yan Shiyilang was a true reflection of himself.
Following such a master, even subordinates like them feel that all the difficulties and obstacles in the world have become easier.
But this idea is applicable to foreign enemies, but not to women and feelings! He was just thinking about how to convince the prince not to randomly match Miss Yan, as it would offend the Yan family.
Then, Yan Shier Niang's cry was heard not far away: "You audacious bastard, get out of here!" followed by a burst of rapid whipping sounds.
Jin Sui and Han Xing looked at each other, then ran towards the source of the sound, shouting as they ran: "Don't do it, don't fight!"
Jin Sui panted and said to Han Xing: "You, you are right, they will really fight."
Han Xing was in a state of panic. What was going on? When the two of them ran to the woods, they saw Yan Shier Niang whipping Gu Changxiao.
Gu Changxiao didn't have any weapons, but he didn't give in to Yan Shier Niang. He just grabbed the whip and pulled Yan Shier Niang to the ground with force.
Different from the fighting styles of Han Xing and Yan Shier Niang, Han Xing only defended and could not hurt Yan Shier Niang at all.
But Gu Changxiao seemed to want her to admit defeat on her own. He would let go every time she fell. But Yan Shier Niang was stubborn. She would get up after falling and continue to attack, and then fall again...
When Jin Sui and Han Xing ran over, her head and face were covered with mud and dead grass. Her eyes were full of anger, and the whip in her hand swung towards Gu Changxiao like a sword.
There were two arrows beside Gu Changxiao, and further away were a bow and arrow that had been cut into two pieces by a knife.
It seems that Yan Shier Niang had already shot Gu Changxiao with an arrow, but failed, and her bow was chopped off by the opponent, so she started hitting him with a long whip.
Jin Sui was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat. Whether Yan Shier Niang really shot and injured Gu Chang Xiao, or Gu Chang Xiao injured Yan Shier Niang, that side city was completely at odds with the Yan family! She thought about Han Xing's worries just now, and she was so naive! She rushed forward to block the two of them: "Stop!"
Yan Shi'er Niang failed to retract her whip, and it was about to hit Jin Sui. Gu Changxiao rushed forward to protect her, and the whip hit him hard on the back.
At the same time, Han Xing also stepped forward and snatched the whip from Yan Twelve Niang's hand: "Miss Yan, calm down!"
Yan Shier Niang saw that she had defeated the prince and her weapon had been taken away. She had been fighting for a long time but had not hurt the man named Gu at all, and instead she ended up in disgrace.
She was anxious, angry, and mad at the same time. She stamped her feet and said, "My Lord, you have to make the decision for Twelve Lady. It was this vixen who started it first!"
Jin Sui: "...Fox, vixen? Where? Who?"
Gu Changxiao: "Me!"
Jin Sui almost laughed out loud, and when she saw two fire foxes under Gu Changxiao's feet, she kicked one and said, "Is this what Miss Yan is talking about?"
Gu Changxiao snorted coldly: "She was scolding me."
At that time, Gu Changxiao shot two fire foxes in a row and was thinking of using the fire fox skin to make a hat for Taoist Xiao Ji when he heard Yan Shier Niang provocatively say, "You worked so hard to hunt fire foxes, but in the end the prince gave them to me to make clothes. You might as well admit defeat and save yourself the trouble and effort."
Gu Changxiao ignored her and continued looking for the fire fox. Just at this moment, the third fire fox rushed out. The two shot arrows back and forth, but it was Yan Shier Niang's arrow that hit Gu Changxiao's arrow.
Two arrows shot into the grass, and the fire fox quickly flew away.
Yan Twelve Niang taunted, "You are the same kind, how can you kill each other?"
Gu Changxiao didn't understand what was said. He felt that if he didn't have a good talk with Miss Yan, he would have no peace today if she kept making trouble.
"What do you mean? Miss Yan, if you have something to say, why not just say it directly? There's no need to beat around the bush."
Yan Twelve Niang snorted coldly: "Don't you understand? I'm calling you a vixen! These stinky foxes are your companions! Do you understand?"
Gu Changxiao: ...
Since I grew up, I have been called a traitor who killed my father and the king, a treacherous person, and an evil ghost Asura by my enemies when I was in Chang'an.
It was the first time that someone called her a vixen! But isn't this a vixen used to describe women? Seeing him pretending to be stupid, Yan Twelve Niang put her hands on her hips and said, "Why are you pretending to be stupid with me? Your feelings for the prince are written all over your face!"
These words shocked Gu Changxiao. That was his biggest secret, a secret that could not be discovered by anyone, and yet Yan Shier Niang said it out loud.
He said anxiously, "Stop talking nonsense! Do you think you can make up a story about the prince?"
Yan Twelve Niang was not afraid of him and continued to scold him: "Don't think that I can't see that you, a man, are imitating the behavior of a little goblin and seducing the prince like a vixen!"
"How can a guy like you get involved with our prince? You'd better get out of here as soon as possible. If the prince finds out, he will definitely tear you into pieces!"
Gu Changxiao was furious: "I have tolerated you for a long time! If you continue to talk nonsense, don't blame me for hitting you, a woman!"
Yan Twelve Niang didn't like what she said: "What's wrong with being a woman? If you have the guts, let's compete. I don't think you can beat a woman like me, and you're still bragging here."
Then the two men started fighting. Yan Shier Niang was the first to shoot two arrows at Gu Changxiao. Although Gu Changxiao was angry, he still had his reason and did not really hurt Yan Shier Niang.
She was simply torn off the horse and allowed to fall several times under the whip.
This was the scene that Jinsui and Hanxing saw when they ran over.
Jin Sui helped Yan Twelve Niang up first. When he heard that it was the two fire foxes that had caused the trouble, he hurriedly said, "Don't cry, Miss Yan. I will apologize to you on his behalf. Tomorrow I will send ten fire fox skins to the Yan family to make clothes for you. Please calm down."
It would have been fine if Jin Sui hadn't said anything, but once she did, Yan Shier Niang really started crying: "I don't want it! I want the prince to drive this vixen away! He has no good intentions."
She then pulled Jin Sui's sleeve and cried, "My Lord, although you cannot marry, you cannot mess around with a vixen like this!"
"My second brother said that you call Long Yang like this in Chang'an, but this is in the border town. Your Majesty, please don't want Long Yang in the border town, okay? Also, Long Yang, don't be with this annoying guy."
Jin Sui wanted to catch Yan Shiyi and beat him up immediately! What on earth did he say to Shier Niang?
At this moment, he didn't dare to look at Gu Changxiao's expression at all. Being called a vixen and rumored to have an affair with her would make any man angry to death.
He was considered magnanimous as he did not actually fight with Yan Shier Niang.
He quickly comforted Yan Twelve Niang and said firmly: "Don't listen to your second brother's nonsense. Don't you know that he has no brains? Lord Gu and I both like women and will never like men!"
After these words were spoken, no one noticed that Gu Changxiao's face turned a little pale.
Yan Shier Niang was just about to say that she secretly saw Gu Changxiao touching the prince's face.
Suddenly, a cold light flashed in the woods, and Han Xing and Gu Changxiao said in unison: "Be careful!"
The two men rushed over suddenly, Gu Changxiao protected Jinsui, and Han Xing protected Yan Shier Niang.
The two men swung their swords and cut off several arrows.
Han Xing blew a whistle, and a group of black feather soldiers rushed out: "Protect the prince, catch the assassin!"
Jin Sui said to Gu Chang Xiao: "It seems that you have underestimated their courage!"
Hurry up and pull Yan Twelve Niang: "Danger, hurry back to the city!"
Yan Twelve Niang no longer had the heart to argue about Gu Changxiao's matter, and hurriedly pulled Jin Sui: "Your Highness, come back to the city with me!"
Jin Sui shook his head: "We cannot bring them into the city. We must kill them here."
As they were talking, the Yan family guards arrived, and Jin Sui said to Han Xing, "You escort Miss Yan back to Yanzhou City."
Yan Twelve Niang said anxiously: "I can also protect the prince, I won't hold you back."
As they were talking, they heard the sound of fighting in the woods. Gu Changxiao said, "Quickly retreat to the fortress." He flew into the woods and killed the enemy.
Jin Sui said sternly, "Miss Yan, please don't be willful, okay?"
Yan Shier Niang was stunned for a moment. The prince had never spoken to her so harshly.
Letting Han Xing help her onto the horse, Jin Sui knew that going with Yan Shier Niang would only harm her.
He hurriedly led his guards to the other side. In a hurry, no one noticed. Behind the rocks not far away, Zheng Yun was pointing out a man in black: "That young man next to the woman in red, wearing a black and red coat, is he the King of Li?"
The man in black saw the young man's face clearly and shook his head, "No!"
Zheng Yun was so overjoyed that he almost fell to his knees and laughed wildly. Fortunately, the man in black reacted quickly and dragged him away and hid him.
"God is helping me! God is really helping me! I didn't expect this thief to be so bold that he dared to pretend to be the King of Li!"
"Haha, Zheng Pengpeng, you are willing to be a dog for the fake King Li, and let me be the sinner of the Zheng family. Wait and see how I take back the position of head of the family!"
The man in black said, "We must quickly report the news to the Imperial Envoy."
Zheng Yun nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Li Heng was bribed by this villain and dared not identify the villain's true face. Only the imperial envoy and Huo Tiqi can work together to eradicate this villain and restore justice to my Zheng family!"
Zheng Yun never expected that things would take such an unexpected turn. He thought he would have to live in a mountain village for the rest of his life, making a living by raising horse thieves and bandits, or change his name and leave Yan.
When he was in distress, Huo Tiqi found him and told him this shocking secret.
This extremely arrogant and ruthless king in the border town turned out to be a fake!
Huo Tiqi came to the border town just to investigate the matter, but he was imprisoned by the fake Li King who was so bold. He finally escaped and was looking for witnesses to report the case to the imperial envoy.
As long as the imperial envoy is fair, even if the fake prince has a few thousand soldiers, he can be overthrown in one fell swoop! Zheng Yun was skeptical at first, because it was too unbelievable. In their opinion, pretending to be a prince, making a group of officials submit, and leading troops to fight the Tartars.
Even if you have the courage of a bear or a leopard, you can't do such a murderous thing!
If this is exposed, the entire clan will be executed! Seeing that he didn't believe it, Huo Zian suggested that he report the case to the imperial envoy, and Zheng Yun only needed to be a witness.
In this way, if the imperial envoy finds out that the King of Li is a fake, he can avenge the Zheng family. If the imperial envoy cannot find out, you, Zheng Yun, can still escape immediately!
Zheng Yun agreed. His first task was to take the people around the imperial envoy who knew the King of Li to take a sneak peek at the King of Li's true face in order to determine whether what Huo Zian said was true or not.
At the same time, Huo Zian also persuaded Prince Yu's men in the team to join forces with Zheng Yun's horse thieves to assassinate Prince Li once again.
If he is real, then he has accomplished Prince Yu's mission. If he is fake, then he can force out the real Prince Li.
In this way, the two sides hit it off and sent people to inquire that King Li was going out of the border to hunt today, so they ambushed and assassinated him there.
If there was any coincidence, it was that the person responsible for identifying King Li happened not to see Gu Changxiao, but only saw Jinsui riding back to the border town.
After Zheng Yun pointed it out, he confidently reported to the imperial envoy: "The Li King is indeed a thief pretending to be him!"
