"The last general, Lu Zhisheng, pays homage to Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Seeing Li Xiuning behind Li Jiancheng and others, the general leading the team jumped off his horse in a hurry. Before he could stand still, he knelt down on one knee and saluted.

"My subordinates pay homage to Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess..."

At the general's signal, nearly a thousand soldiers he brought also dismounted and knelt down to salute. The shouts of nearly a thousand people rose like a tide, and the scene was so spectacular.

This caused some of the shabby and low-roofed houses around to poke their heads out from time to time and stare at what was happening in front of them.

But the previously extremely arrogant guard now had his eyes wide open, an expression of disbelief, his mouth opened wide, and he was muttering something unknown in a low voice. Looking at his expression, he looked extremely lost.

As for the caravan leader, he was even more dumbfounded, obviously unable to predict that things would develop like this.

"Everyone, run quickly..."

After being stunned for a while, the leader of the caravan seemed to have just remembered something, and shouted loudly at the top of his lungs. Then, Dan saw him running out of the city gate first, and the other guards guarding the carriage immediately followed Sayazi.

It's just that it's ridiculous to try to escape in front of nearly a thousand wolf-like soldiers.

"General Lu, you and I will catch up later and arrest everyone in this caravan first. Don't let anyone go."

"The general will obey your orders!"

Lu Zhisheng stood up and waved his hand, and nearly a thousand soldiers immediately divided into small teams. Then, under the instructions of their respective team leaders, they attacked and killed the fleeing caravan.

These caravan guards can deal with some thieves, but they are not good enough to deal with these soldiers who guard the border and have experienced the tempering of blood and fire.

Especially after Lu Zhisheng shouted the words "Don't kill those who surrender, put down your weapons, put your hands on your head and squat on the ground", there was no guard to resist. After all, they were just guards hired by the caravan with money, there was no need to

Such an unknown death. As for the caravan leader, trying to run away with his chubby body was even more of a joke.

Of course, if he was a master, Li Jiancheng and others would have taken action long ago.

In less than a quarter of an hour, nearly a hundred guards had all laid down their weapons and surrendered. The city gate guard and the caravan leader were each held down by two soldiers with their hands behind their backs and pressed in front of Lu Zhisheng.

"Your Highness the Princess, I don't know..."

Just when Lu Zhisheng was about to ask what happened and how he dealt with the guard and the caravan leader, Li Xiuning interrupted his questioning.

"General Lu, don't be in a hurry. Rong Xiuning will introduce you."

Then, Li Xiuning pointed at Li Jiancheng and said with a calm face: "This is Xiuning's eldest brother. He is also the current Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty."

Lu Zhisheng's upright body was shocked again, and then he quickly knelt down again.

"General Lu Zhisheng. I'm paying homage to His Highness the Crown Prince. I don't know His Highness the Crown Prince is coming. I'm not going to meet you from afar. I hope His Highness the Crown Prince will forgive me."

"My subordinates pay homage to His Highness the Crown Prince. Your Highness is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"

At Lu Zhisheng's signal, there was another loud roar, and the momentum was obviously stronger than when he called for Li Xiuning just now. Of course, this cannot be said that these soldiers looked down on Li Xiuning. After all, Li Jiancheng was the future successor of the Tang Empire.

, powerful and powerful. Although the status of the princess Li Xiuning is not low, her status as a woman is destined to not be treated like Li Jiancheng due to the limitations of the times.

When Li Xiuning revealed Li Jiancheng's identity, the city gate guard and the caravan leader, who were pinned to the ground by the soldiers, began to tremble non-stop, and then collapsed to the ground.

The leader of the caravan was even more unbearable. He was so frightened that he lost control of his urine, and a smell of urine lingered in the air.

I don’t know what kind of bad luck I had today. I unexpectedly bumped into His Highness the Crown Prince. This is really a lower probability than winning five million in a lottery ticket, but I unexpectedly bumped into these two bad guys.

"Bastard, bring him some water and give him a good wash."

"Here!"

After getting rid of the caravan leader's urine smell, Lu Zhisheng bowed and asked respectfully: "Your Highness, I wonder what they have committed?"

This Lu Zhisheng's words were respectful, neither flattering nor humble, nor overbearing, which greatly improved people's goodwill.

Moreover, Lu Zhisheng did not directly take down the city gate guard and caravan leader without asking anything because of Li Jiancheng and Li Xiuning's identities.

Judging from his appearance, it was obvious that he still wanted to know the cause of the incident.

Li Jiancheng was not an arrogant and rude person, so naturally he would not be dissatisfied with Lu Zhisheng's behavior. On the contrary, he secretly praised him in his heart.

Obviously, this Lu Zhisheng is also a loyal and upright person.

"General Lu, take out the contents of the carriage and you will know at a glance."

"The general will obey your orders!"

Lu Zhisheng responded, and dozens of the nearly a thousand soldiers ran out, lifted the curtains on the dozen carriages, and then a dazzling light enveloped everyone.

"this…"

What happened in front of him seemed to be beyond General Lu's imagination. General Lu, who had looked calm before, was completely stunned now.

There are more than a dozen carriages, all of which are equipped with long polished knives, spears, pairs of armors that shine brightly in the sun, and iron bows. Just looking at their appearance, you can tell that this bow is

The power is not small.

More than a dozen carriages were loaded with weapons, which was enough to equip three thousand men. Moreover, they were wolf-like and tiger-like Turkic soldiers.

"General Lu, now you know what's going on!"

Li Jiancheng asked politely, and did not give Li Xiuning a good look because he knew Lu Zhisheng. You must know that he is responsible for the border crossing of this family, and he at least has a certain responsibility for such a thing.

"The general already knows about it. Please give His Highness the Crown Prince some time to investigate the matter thoroughly."

Lu Zhisheng's forehead was already dripping with sweat, but he did not absolve himself of his crime, but asked Li Jiancheng to let him investigate the matter first. From this, we can see that Lu Zhisheng is still a responsible person.

Speaking of which, Lu Zhisheng and Li Xiuning are still old acquaintances.

Lu Zhisheng was not a poor boy, but a direct descendant of the Fan Yang Lu family. Before the Li family took over Chang'an, Li Xiuning had connections with the Fan Yang Lu family. Therefore, the relationship between the two families is good. This is why

, Lu Zhisheng, the general guarding the border, would know Li Xiuning.

As for Li Jiancheng, he rarely showed up, so Lu Zhisheng didn't know Li Jiancheng.

"Come here, these two people and a group of guards will be suppressed by this general and tortured."

Lu Zhisheng had a straight face and gave orders in a rough voice. He had no reason to be polite to these two people who had caused him to neglect their duties.

"It seems we can't leave today. Now we'll stay here overnight and make a decision based on the situation."
