Chapter 339 The White Tiger Appears, Chaos Arises
It's bad enough that the emperor and empress were woken up by their mentally challenged son, but to come up with something like this...
emperor……
That wretched son!
"Get out! What are you saying so early in the morning?" The emperor slapped his son on the head as he leaned closer.
Second Prince!
He felt wronged, but he had to speak up!
"Dad, don't be in such a hurry to hit me. I'm not smart to begin with. You've made me stupid!"
The second prince glanced at his father with a wronged expression, and only when he saw that his mother was also looking at him did he put away his expression.
The Empress knew that although the second son was unruly, he wasn't truly without sense of propriety. If he ran into the house at this time, something must have happened.
and……
Why didn't their bodyguards appear?
"Second son, stop making a scene. Tell me, what happened?" The Empress looked at her son and asked in a low voice.
The second prince looked at the empress, and seeing that his mother believed him, he whispered, "Just now, when I went out, I found that I was being followed!"
If it were just stalking, that would be one thing, but the people stalking them are just too skilled!
Moreover, the Second Prince vaguely sensed that the owner of the restaurant where they were staying seemed a bit off; his expression was slightly unnatural when he saw him today.
He grew up constantly observing the expressions of his father, mother, and elder brother, the crown prince.
You can spot that expression instantly!
They definitely have ill intentions!
Moreover, he discovered today that something was wrong with what they were eating.
He secretly had two of the dishes delivered directly to his room.
Once they had all lowered their guard, they quietly slipped into the Emperor and Empress's room.
"Where are the secret guards?" The emperor immediately sat up. Back then, quite a few people had tried to kill him!
Now that he's emperor, there are many more people who want to kill him.
The emperor sensed something was amiss with the second son's words; the city seemed much quieter tonight.
The second prince glanced around before speaking, "I'll have them go outside and check the situation first, and the rest of you will stay inside and outside the house to protect us."
He gave orders to his own personal guards, while the emperor's personal guards naturally continued to protect the emperor and empress.
For example, right now, if the Second Prince dares to do anything rebellious, his chest will be pierced by a crossbow bolt.
Besides, unlike other royal families, the emperor and empress were childhood sweethearts and had three sons and one daughter.
The eldest prince is the crown prince, while the second prince, though seemingly carefree, is incredibly intelligent and also excels in his studies.
The third prince is still young, but he has loved playing with weapons since he was a child.
My only daughter is ten years old this year, and she's also a...
She's a very lively girl.
Although there were concubines in the harem, most of them had no children. The emperor was diligent in governing and loved his people. He would visit the harem every month, either at the empress's place or occasionally at the place of a few concubines who had followed him in his early years.
This is a story for later. The Empress frowned slightly and said, "Go and call Physician Sun over as well. Tell him I am not feeling well."
The second prince nodded in agreement, but he didn't mention the others. Since they were pretending to be merchants this time, they still needed to act like merchants.
After their son left, the emperor and empress changed into riding attire.
The emperor was dressed in a royal blue robe, while the empress wore a red riding outfit and her hair was tied in a low bun.
"Your Majesty, you and the second prince should sneak away first, I'll stay behind to cover your retreat."
The empress's eyes were filled with fighting spirit, and her hands, which were usually pampered, were now gripping her longsword tightly.
Back then, in order to rescue the emperor, the empress dared to lead Tang Bugui into the enemy camp.
The emperor was skilled in both civil and military affairs...
Although he was a wise ruler, he acted like a child.
"No, I am the emperor, but I am also a husband and father. You take our son and leave, I will stay!"
The emperor's eyes flashed with murderous intent. If anyone dared to harm his wife and children, he would kill them or he would take their surname.
Empress...
Knowing that the emperor had a problem, the empress sighed, but still said very seriously, "You've grown up, you're not a child anymore, can you please stop being so childish!"
The emperor remained silent, but who hasn't been young?
The emperor held his wife's hand and said, "The children have all grown up, and the crown prince is now capable of handling things on his own. This time, I will not leave. I am at ease entrusting the empire to him. If anything happens to you, I cannot live on alone!"
The Empress pursed her lips, her nose feeling a little sore.
That old man is really...
"Enough! Who wants to die? I was once a formidable woman in the military camp!" The Empress curled her lips, her eyes filled with murderous intent.
Anyone who dares to touch her man, she'll kill them!
Her great-grandmother was the only female prime minister of the previous dynasty, Lan Ying, and she was also the person most like her great-grandmother.
After the previous dynasty collapsed, she was saved by the emperor by a twist of fate. The entire Lan family had been killed by the emperor of the previous dynasty.
She fought alongside the emperor on the battlefield, and back then she was a fearsome Rakshasa woman that struck fear into the hearts of others.
Later, when the Rakshasa woman died in battle, the Shang Dynasty gained a new Empress Lan.
"Wife, I'm the emperor now, don't I have any dignity?" The emperor said this, but he had a smile on his face.
The empress looked at him, about to speak, when the sounds of fierce fighting came from the doorway.
Meanwhile, Xiao Su Bao and his friends had already arrived at the gate of Lan County.
The city gates were tightly closed, and the surroundings were extremely quiet.
Xiao Su Bao's face was sullen, and there was a hint of anxiety in her eyes.
It's almost too late!
Tang Bugui could also sense the girl's anxiety.
"What's wrong with you today?"
Su Yun, who was standing to the side, had been spending time with Xiao Su Bao for quite some time. Her father had also told her that Xiao Su Bao was not simple and that she should listen to her more.
Although she didn't know why, Su Yun felt she should listen to Xiao Su Bao.
The little girl withdrew her gaze from outside and shook her head slightly.
What cannot be said, can only be done!
Su Yun sighed and reached out to touch Xiao Su Bao's hair.
The little dumpling was soft and fluffy, with a slightly pale face.
"Don't worry, my father is an excellent martial artist. If you need anything, you can always ask him."
Thinking of the family of three she had seen, Xiao Su Bao couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Su, could you let us go into the city sooner?"
Tang Bugui opened his eyes and looked at Xiao Su Bao, and even coughed lightly on purpose.
The two little girls looked over at the same time. Tang Bugui blinked and looked at Xiao Su Bao.
The little dumpling was taken aback, then suddenly thought of something: "Daddy, you're so amazing, you must have a way to get us into the city sooner, right?"
Tang Bugui's slightly tense face instantly broke into a wide smile, and he immediately said to his dear daughter, "Of course, I've already had someone take care of it."
As if to prove his words, the city gate creaked and groaned, and soon it was actually opened from the inside.
Ling Buqi opened the city gate directly from the inside, and as for the others, they were all taken down by him.
The commander of the city's garrison was immediately bound!
Ling Buqi frowned, his eyes filled with a hint of wariness.
Something's not right in Lan County!
He moved with incredible speed, rushing to the carriage where Tang Bugui was sitting.
“General… there’s something fishy going on in Lan County…” He recounted what he had just encountered inside.
They then dragged over the city's garrison leader who had helped them.
The city's garrison leader knelt tremblingly on the ground, dressed in a white undergarment, his eyes filled with terror.
"My lord... I have already released everyone as you ordered, so why did you arrest me?" The city garrison leader's face was ugly, and his pig-like body knelt on the ground, trembling.
Tang Bugui frowned, about to speak, when Xiao Subao suddenly said, "Dad, let's go inside first!"
Tang Bugui glanced at Xiao Su Bao and immediately nodded.
Little Su Bao glanced at the time and felt that it would be really late if she didn't go soon.
At that very moment, the Emperor and Empress, along with the Second Prince, charged out.
The second prince's eyes flashed with murderous intent as he stood protectively in front of his parents.
"Father, Mother, you go with the guards first, I'll stay behind to cover our retreat!"
He was the second prince, with an older brother and a younger brother. Even if he died, his father, mother, crown prince, third prince, and little princess would still be there.
The emperor felt a slight warmth in his heart as he looked at his son's not-so-broad back.
His sons are all excellent; who says there's no family affection in the royal family!
They have it at home!
only……
"Second son, are you stupid? Get out of here right now! Your lousy skills are no match for mine!" the emperor said disdainfully, but he reached out to protect his son behind him.
The empress, standing to the side, also shielded her son in the middle.
The second prince always felt that his parents favored his eldest brother and younger brother. Although they treated him well, it was not as close to them as they were to his eldest brother, nor as affectionate as they were to his younger brother.
But now!
The second prince was stunned for a moment, but the empress said, "Don't worry, as long as I have a breath left, I will not let anything happen to you!"
The second prince was so moved that tears almost welled up in his eyes...
He was about to speak when his expression suddenly changed. He saw an assassin flying down from the tall building next to him.
The second prince suppressed his emotions and charged straight at the enemy.
"My son has grown up!" he said, and then he joined the fight with the assassin.
Meanwhile, Physician Sun's expression changed slightly; he had been standing in front of the Emperor and Empress.
Hearing the sounds behind him, he gritted his teeth and rushed over, handing them his medicine powder.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness, please keep this powder safe. If any enemies come, sprinkle it on them."
Physician Sun was not old, only thirty years old this year, and his handsome face was etched with worry.
Originally, the master wanted to follow the empress, but later the empress was worried about the master's health, so she called him before leaving.
Fortunately, it was me; if it had been my master, I might have been in real danger today.
Physician Sun held a large knife in one hand and medicine powder in the other, extremely vigilant.
However, the enemy had far too many assassins, and they came from all directions. No matter which direction the emperor and empress went, they would be surrounded and attacked.
"Go to the yamen!" The emperor's eyes flashed with coldness.
The magistrate of Lan County was named Wang Tong, and he was a Jinshi (a successful candidate in the highest imperial examinations) in the previous year.
The emperor had met him before and heard that he came from a farming family and aspired to be an honest official.
The emperor gave the order, and the secret guards instantly gathered, protecting the emperor as they killed people and headed towards the government office.
Meanwhile, Tang Bugui and his group had already entered the city, and the sounds of fighting inside were clearly audible.
Su Liang's expression changed slightly, and a wary glint appeared in his eyes.
Could it be that someone is trying to assassinate Tang Bugui?
We shouldn't have made such a big commotion.
Ling Buqi had already sent someone to investigate, and the investigators have now returned.
He whispered a few words in Ling Buqi's ear, and Ling Buqi instantly went numb!
"Go east, take that intersection!" Little Su Bao said anxiously to Tang Bugui.
According to what happened in the dream, the place where the two people were ambushed should be the county government office.
Tang Bugui said softly, "Let's go to the east intersection!"
Ling Buqi had no choice but to chase after him, and Su Yun and the others did not dare to linger and followed closely behind.
Fu Lin rubbed his temples; he felt things were really getting out of hand!
The White Tiger appears, chaos ensues!
He looked at his daughter, who was already asleep beside him, and felt extremely worried.
In the last carriage, Doctor Song also opened his eyes. He frowned slightly but did not speak.
As we crossed the road to the east, the sounds of fighting grew louder.
Little Su Bao lifted the curtain and saw a group of people.
Tang Bugui moved extremely fast. Although it was still dark, the person in front of him was all too familiar to him.
The way an emperor curses is something most people can't imitate!
Tang Bugui's face darkened, and worry instantly appeared in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." His voice was so loud that the Emperor and Empress could hear him clearly.
Little Su Bao was also very curious and looked up into the distance.
The emperor thought he had misheard, raised his eyes and looked ahead, and sure enough, he saw Tang Bugui's two unusual strands of white hair!
but……
What is he holding in his arms?
As the emperor was filled with doubt, the empress suddenly struck out and slashed at the side with her sword.
emperor……
"Wait," the Empress said in a muffled voice.
The Second Prince also saw Tang Bugui, and his eyes were filled with excitement. To him, Tang Bugui was a god of war!
He is the God of War of their Great Shang Kingdom!
"Daddy, come down!" Little Su Bao felt a pain in his chest, and the scene reappeared before his eyes.
It seems that by changing what should have happened, things have gone astray.
The little dumpling had no choice but to hold Tang Bugui tightly.
Tang Bugui obeyed and fell down instantly.
In that instant, an arrow flew past his head.
If he had been any slower, he would have been pierced through the heart.
Tang Bugui was extremely surprised, but showed no emotion on his face.
"Don't speak for a while, Father is here!" Tang Bugui said in a low voice.
If the emperor and empress knew about Xiao Su Bao's abilities...
Something bad might really happen!
Tang Bugui wouldn't gamble with Xiao Su Bao's life.
He didn't want Xiao Su Bao to become a sword in the emperor's hand; he was enough to do it himself.
Little Su Bao immediately nodded obediently, curled up in Tang Bugui's arms, and didn't say a word.
Ling Buqi and the others also came over. Su Liang and Fu Lin led the charge and protected the emperor and his entourage.
Tang Bugui arrived in front of the guards in no time.
Most of these secret guards were trained by Tang Bugui, but they still stood guard in front of the emperor.
"What are you doing here, kid?" The emperor stepped out from behind the crowd, and when he saw Tang Bugui, his eyes showed a hint of relief.
The Empress bypassed the Emperor and walked a few steps to Tang Bugui, her gaze falling on Xiao Su Bao.
"This girl is really beautiful!" the Empress said softly.
Little Su Bao raised her eyes and looked at the Empress. In the first scene she witnessed, it was the Empress who protected her!
