Chapter 95 How can a man be without authority
At the banquet, Aunt Sun sat in the upper seat and ate home-cooked side dishes. He spoke happily with Feng Siniang and the others. He simply took five people as his goddaughters during the meal. Li Ang shook his head. Of course, he knew why Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang were so happy. After all, he just wanted to make his backer for him.
The incident in Kushui Town was equivalent to offending the civil servant group in the court. After defeating Rome, the Qin Dynasty did not use any war for 30 years. The civil servant group gradually reduced its military expenditure and supported the Ministry of War, which was vassal of the military hall. Even the Pacification Department leaned against them. The situation was very good. Perhaps in a few years, they could start to seize military power and put the army under their control.
However, everything seemed to have reversed overnight. Liu Lian and the Ministry of War were found to have colluded with the Turks, Liu Lian was imprisoned, the Ministry of War was purged, the Minister of War resigned, and the cabinet took thirty years to make the situation created was invalid. But he intervened in these matters, thinking of the importance the White Tiger Festival Hall had valued him and the emperor allowed him to enroll in the Imperial Academy, Li Ang couldn't help but feel that he had already fallen into the struggle in the court, but he was still not sure what was going on.
"What are you thinking?" Suddenly, Lin Fengshuang's clear voice sounded in Li Ang's ears, making him come back to his senses. "Yes, what are you thinking? You're actually dazed while eating?" Feng Siniang also asked with a smile.
"It's nothing, I'm just thinking about how lively the Qixi Festival will be outside the city." Li Ang smiled and replied. Today is the first day of the July 2018, and the Qixi Festival will begin today.
"We'll go outside the city to watch the fun together later. Let's go together!" Lin Fengshuang looked at Aunt Sun beside her.
"Auntie, the old lady, won't go. The Chinese Valentine's Day is a festival for you young people." Aunt Sun said happily. Since she married Zhou Ting, there have been few times so happy.
"The aunt is not old at all." Qingzhi, who was sitting in Aunt Sun's arms, suddenly shouted loudly, which made everyone laugh.
"I'll get the wine." Seeing Aunt Sun and Lin Fengshuang and the others talking lively, Li Ang stood up. At the dinner, he knew that the person sitting in the head was Madam Sima, and Driste and Cen Ji were both extremely honest. Tule had never said anything, and only a few women were left.
Walking on the corridor, Cen Ji shook his head and said, "Okay, I haven't seen the boss lady so good, Miss Fengshuang is also amazing. If I hadn't known that the old lady was the wife of the Grand Sima, I would have thought she had also opened a black shop."
Listening to Cen Ji's words, Drizzt laughed, "You don't know. When Mrs. Sun was young, she had a name called Yanzhihu. She brought a group of women's soldiers and beat the children of Chang'an to be unable to raise their heads and behave like a human being!"
"That's so amazing, that's not even more arrogant than the boss's wife!" Cen Ji heard Cui Si (computer novel website www, the fastest updated) say this. The scar on his face jumped.
Li Ang listened to Cen Ji and Drizzt asking about the past story of Aunt Sun, and he laughed loudly when he listened. I guess the old lady must have been a beautiful woman who was so beautiful when she was young, otherwise why would the children of the aristocratic families be willing to be beaten by her and never say anything?
When Li Ang shook his head and sighed, his heart suddenly became tight. At this time, Tule next to him also pulled his clothes and said, "Master, it smells like a stranger!"
"I know." Li Ang whispered. Drizzt and Cen Ji beside him became alert when they heard the conversation between the two.
"Old Cen, Atcui, go back and tell Fengshuang, Si Niang and the others. Tule and I will go and see." Li Ang's eyes stabbed towards the darkness of the courtyard in the distance and frowned.
Holding a crossbow, more than a dozen men in black sneaked into the bright lobby. They were all confidants of Liu Liandi, the former commander of the tutoring department. They escaped the purge by chance. Their power was not enough to attack the generals of the military hall in a high position, so they could only give their hatred to Li Ang's head first.
In front of the lobby, Drizzt looked at the two Kunlun slaves who looked like Hei Tan, and turned their eyes at them. Unfortunately, Hei Mo and Hei Luo were honest and didn't understand what he meant.
"If you have an enemy, please be careful to protect Miss and Mrs. Sun." Drizzt had no choice but to walk to them and whisper. However, as soon as he finished speaking, the sound of arrows breaking through the air suddenly sounded in the darkness in the distance. Hemo and Heiro reflected, and they were both fierce and blocked directly in front of Drizzt, drawing out their short swords to block the crossbow arrows that were shooting.
In the lobby, just as the short crossbow was shot out, Lin Fengshuang suddenly stood up. She has been in charge of the army since she was a child and has no idea how many wars she has fought. Like Li Antul, she has almost terrifying battlefield intuition. Before Feng Siniang and Aunt Sun could report it, she had overturned the round table, "Be careful!"
She lifted the table and blocked the crossbow that shot into the hall. Everything was in the flash. Aunt Sun hugged Qingzhi and Huo Xiaoyu tightly. Her years of cultivation made her look of fear without any fear on her face.
Drizzt and Cen Ji dragged Heimo into the hall, pushed up the door of the hall, and hid behind the round table. Looking at Drizzt and Cen Ji who were dragging Heimo Heimo who were dragging more than a dozen arrows, Feng Siniang frowned, "Who is the person shooting arrows outside?"
"I don't know." Drizzt and Cen Ji said with a bitter face. It was dark and they didn't know who sneaked in.
"This is a military crossbow." Unplugged the arrow that penetrated the solid wood round table, Aunt Sun looked at it, then patted Qingzhi and Huo Xiaoyu who were a little scared in his arms and said, "Don't be afraid, there is an aunt here."
At this time, the sound of a breaking door sounded outside the hall. Looking at the thick wooden round table standing quietly in the hall, Liu Lian Dangyu, who was already on the crossbow arrow, started shooting at the round table at a close range, and the sound of arrow feathers with hissing sounds were endless.
The arrow feathers shot in the air, and seventeen men in black pulled out the long swords from their waists and slowly stepped forward. Suddenly, the round table that had not moved suddenly flew up and hit them. The moment they retreated, Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang killed, and the two swords in their sleeves suddenly appeared. Feng Siniang held the long swords of the two men in black. Lin Fengshuang beside her rushed straight like electric lightning, snatching off a long sword, and the long swords were pulled one by one, and the enemy attacked Feng Siniang and the other by slashing Feng Siniang. At the same time, the force was exerted, and Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang leaned together.
Drizzt's two swords were like two lightning bolts that could turn, causing the three men in black who met him to jump straight up and secretly scolded the damn golden retriever. Cen Ji stood in front of Aunt Sun and the two injured Kunlun slaves, and swept away the two long swords that rushed over.
For a moment, the hall confronted each other, and seventeen men in black couldn't attack the semicircular formation formed by Feng Siniang and the others, and they stalemate. In the courtyard, Li Ang and Tule kept dodging and shooting in the dark corridor.
Li Ang suddenly rushed out. He was wearing white clothes, like a lightning bolt in the dark night, and suddenly picked up the big white wax pole in the courtyard. In the past month, he has taken time to practice the "Extreme Round Gun" every morning, and has a little fire. In such darkness, long poles that can be used are easier to resist the arrows shot than swords.
"Go to the front hall to protect Qingzhi and the others." Li Ang shouted to Tule behind him in the howling wind brought by the big white wax pole, and while speaking, he blocked several arrow feathers.
Tule gritted his teeth, rolled on the ground, rushed to the front yard of the hall, and walked around him. A dozen men in black suddenly fell around Li Ang, and rushed towards him with a knife. In the darkness, cold arrows still shot from time to time.
Li Ang shook off the white wax pole, and the howling wind made the dozen men in black look close to him. When he was wrong, Li Ang avoided the cold arrow shot, but the scorching scorching on his shoulders had been wiped.
Outside Li Ang’s mansion, on the roof of the high house around, the archers from the East Factory had already found the secret crossbowmen. They shot powerful bows and arrows, shooting down the men in black who were secretly shooting cold arrows one by one.
Without the threat of cold arrows, Li Ang's white wax pole shook faster, like a long worm that spitted out a letter. In the violent wind, three men in black were swept by the white wax pole in Li Ang's hand. Under the powerful shaking force, the tiger's mouth burst, the long sword broke out, and the person fell to the ground. The more Li Ang fought, the braver the white wax pole used in his hand made him understand the "Extreme Soft Gun" more thoroughly in actual combat.
In front of the lobby, Tule killed the men in black who were holding swords, but found that there was another group of people behind him, holding a powerful crossbow and shooting at the men in black.
Xu Yanran rushed into the hall with a knife and said to Aunt Sun, who was protecting the two children, "I hope these thieves will disturb the wife, I hope the wife will forgive me."
"Where is Cao Shaoqin? Why didn't he come?" Aunt Sun stood up, looked at Xu Yanran who was walking in, and said coldly, "He had known that a killer had come here for a long time. He treated his old body as bait, right?"
Seeing that Aunt Sun's face was as cold as frost, Xu Yanran's face turned yellow. The East Factory had indeed found out that Liu Lian's followers wanted to retaliate against Li Ang. But they knew it unknown, so they set up people outside Li Ang's mansion. They wanted to wait for them to take action, but they didn't expect that the British lady in front of her also got involved.
"Mrs. If she knew that her wife was here, how could she dare to act rashly and put her in danger?" Xu Yanran pretended to be calm. In fact, the people from the East Factory knew that Aunt Sun was here, but the governor had not spoken. They did not dare to report it. At present, they had to try their best to break up.
"Who is Cao Shaoqin? I know better than you, so you don't have to excuse him. I will settle the score with him for this matter. You go!" Aunt Sun glanced at Xu Yanran and waved. At this time, Aunt Sun was waiting outside the mansion and rushed in. When she heard these words, she couldn't help staring at the people in the East Factory, calling Xu Yanran a miserable sentence.
Soon, the people from the East Factory dragged the bodies of Liu Lian and his wife backed away. Aunt Sun looked at her own guards who were coming and couldn't help but sigh. "If I were to be a guard when I was a child, you wouldn't be a guard at all." Her words made the guards lower their heads in shame and dared not say anything.
Li Ang rushed back to the hall with a gun, only to see Lin Fengshuang coaxing Di Qingzhi, and her face changed. The thing he was most worried about was that this incident would scare this sister. Thinking of the scene three years ago, his hand holding the gun was pinched tightly.
"Qingyuan, come with the aunt, and I have something to say to you." Seeing Li Ang's face that changed color, Aunt Sun sighed and said, "It's so old that she is stronger. She naturally knows that people like Li Ang will not get angry easily, but once they get angry, it will definitely not be easily calmed down. What Dongchang did this time was indeed a bit too much.
"Auntie, I know what you are thinking. Dongchang used you as bait and didn't know it with you. It's indeed a bit too much." Auntie Sun looked at Li Ang who had calmed down in front of him, and felt relieved, "But your arm can't twist your thighs. If you want to seek justice with them now, it's impossible to do anything."
"Qingyuan knows." Li Ang replied in a low voice. He understood what Aunt Sun said in front of him. Although he was valued by the Emperor and the Military Hall now, he was still a soldier from a poor family, and he was different from those big families.
"Don't worry, the aunt will definitely seek justice for you in today's affairs." Aunt Sun glanced at Li Ang and said.
"Qingyuan dares not bother Auntie. Qingyuan will deal with this matter in the future." Li Ang politely declined Auntie Sun's kindness, and his calmed face made Auntie Sun sigh secretly.
"Okay, Auntie won't say much else. After you have finished protecting the princes, remember to come to the aunt's house to sit." After saying what she wanted to say, Auntie Sun shook her head and left with the guards.
Take Qingzhi from Lin Fengshuang, Li Ang hugged her sister tightly and whispered, "Be good, don't be afraid, I'm here." After coaxing Qingzhi to fall asleep, Li Ang returned to the hall where there was still bloody smell.
"Tule, from tomorrow onwards, you will take more alert traps around your home." Li Ang said in a deep voice, and the cold expression on his face made everyone feel cold, "Acui, you can hire more servants tomorrow."
Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang bandaged the wound on their shoulders for Li Ang, silently. They knew that the man they liked was really angry this time. Although he didn't say it, they knew in their hearts that Li Ang would definitely settle the score with Dongchang in the future.
"Young Master, why don't we buy a few mastiffs and keep them in the yard? This thing is better than those servants." Cen Ji, who had been silent, suddenly said. When he was the king of the mountain in the past, he had raised several mastiffs and was deeply impressed.
"Mastiff?" Li Ang nodded after hearing this, "Okay, you go buy the best one, don't be afraid of spending money."
It was already dark, and in the study, Li Ang couldn't help but feel a little scared when he thought about what tonight. If the people from the Dongchang had not been ambushed, I'm afraid tonight... Thinking of this, he had the first time he had a desire for power, wanted to survive in Chang'an and do what he wanted to do, he had to have the power to compete with those high and powerful people. Otherwise, he would be just a bait and a chess piece in the hands of others.
"You must never let this happen tonight again!" Li Ang put out the candlelight, and in the dark, he sat quietly, the cold light in his eyes made people tremble in his heart.
