Chapter 369 Wang Junkuo escaped
"What's going on?" Li Xiu held the carriage with his hands and finally stabilized his body, and his expression was a little embarrassed. He was almost asleep in a daze, but he didn't expect the driver to brake suddenly and almost let him rush out of the carriage. There was a mess outside, and he didn't know what was going on?
"Report to the prince-consort, we don't know that the streets were suddenly covered with martial law. The people from the Jinwu Guard checked the passing pedestrians everywhere, but they didn't know what happened?" At this time, a guard walked to the window and reported to Li Xiu that the situation was not very stable now, so every time Li Xiu went out, he would have a guard arranged by Princess Pingyang around him.
"Martial law?" Li Xiu was also a little surprised when he heard the news. He opened the car door and looked out, but found that he had arrived on Zhuque Street. Not far ahead, a team of Jinwu team stopped pedestrians and were checking one by one. Moreover, there seemed to be people from Jinwu Guards acting in the streets and alleys around.
Seeing this, Li Xiu couldn't help but frown. It was said that Li Shimin had firmly grasped the situation in the court and no longer had martial law. However, these Jinwu Guards are now full of the streets, and they are ready to fight. It seems that something amazing has happened.
At this moment, the Jinwu Guard walked towards them, and the leader was a one-eyed middle-aged general. When he saw the mark on Li Xiu's carriage, the middle-aged general was stunned at first, and then saw Li Xiu inside through the car door. He hurried forward and saluted: "Is Li Jijiu in the carriage?"
"Huh? Do you know me?" Li Xiu couldn't help but say in surprise when he heard this, because he didn't know this one-eyed general, and he seemed to be of low grade. He was also a one-eyed person. If he had seen him before, he should have an impression.
"Haha, Li Jijiu... No, it should be Prince Li!" The middle-aged man with one-eyed eyes smiled first, and then probably thought that Li Xiu had already married Princess Pingyang, so he hurriedly changed his words and said, "It's normal for you to remember Prince Li. Speaking of it, when the General Muhammad saw Prince Li that day, he was also on this Zhuque Street, and the General Muhammad was a subordinate of General Qiu Xinggong, and he was also from the Detachment of Women before!"
When Li Xiu heard the one-eyed middle-aged man mention Zhuque Street and Qiu Xinggong, he immediately reacted. In the Xuanwu Gate Incident, he and Pingyang were blocked on Zhuque Street by Changsun Wuji in order to save Li Chengdao and the others. In the end, it was because Changsun Wuji's old subordinates were unwilling to be ill-induce each other, so he forced the other party to let go. The one-eyed middle-aged general in front of him was one of the old subordinates of the Women's Army who did not want to take action at the time. No wonder he met Li Xiu.
"So that's it. Thanks to the general's righteousness, the princess and I were able to leave the city safely!" Li Xiu thought of this and immediately got off the carriage and bowed to the other party very respectfully. As a result, the one-eyed middle-aged general waved his hand quickly. After Li Xiu straightened up, he suddenly spoke again, "By the way, after the last incident, the King of Qin and Changsun Wuji did not make things difficult for all brothers, right?"
"Hehe, our Women's Army has too many brothers. As the saying goes, the law does not punish the masses. Even the King of Qin cannot do anything to us. Even if he deducts some money in the end, it is not a difficult situation!" The one-eyed middle-aged general smiled sly when he heard this.
"It's good that there is no embarrassment. Otherwise, if all brothers were implicated by that day, I and the princess would be uneasy!" Li Xiu finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. In fact, when he negotiated with Li Shimin, some additional conditions were about the old subordinates of these women's army. In order to stabilize, Li Shimin promised not to make things difficult for anyone. The reason why Li Xiu asked the other party just now was mainly to see if Li Shimin kept his original promise?
"By the way, I don't know what the general is called. What are you doing today?" Li Xiu asked again at this time. Since the other party was from the Detachment of Women's Army, he was not an outsider. Maybe he could find out something.
When he heard Li Xiu ask about his own affairs, the one-eyed general hesitated for a moment, but he quickly said, "Report to the prince consort, I am Qiu, just call me Lao Qiu. As for today's affairs, the superiors originally asked us to keep it secret, but you are not an outsider, so it's okay to tell you!"
When he said this, Lao Qiu took two steps forward and looked left and right, and then whispered: "You guys don't know anything. Just this morning, a prisoner who had just been escorted to the capital escaped, and the other party was a serious criminal from the court, so the entire Chang'an City was martial law, so I had to catch the other party, but I guess the other party had already escaped from Chang'an City."
"Who made the court pay so much attention?" Li Xiu couldn't help but ask in surprise when he heard this.
"Hehe, this person is amazing. You must have heard of him. That is Wang Junkuo, the Duke of Pengguo!" Lao Qiu smiled again, but there was a little disdain in his smile, which reminded Li Xiu of Ma. When Ma mentioned Wang Junkuo, he also had this expression, and he also said that he had conflicts with Wang Junkuo. It was probably because of this that the whole lady's army had no good feelings for him.
"It turned out to be him. I heard that he killed the King of Lujiang, whom he chose, and then the King of Qin summoned him back to Chang'an, but he stayed on the road and refused to come back. Later, he was sent by the King of Qin to escort back to Beijing. It was time to go to the capital. Why did he escape now?" Li Xiu couldn't help but ask in surprise when he heard that the other party was Wang Junkuo. He didn't expect that the other party was Wang Junkuo, the old enemy.
"When it comes to Wang Junkuo, this guy, was also committed suicide. After making contributions, he refused to return to Chang'an without disobeying the imperial edict. As a result, he was forcibly escorted back to Beijing by the King of Qin. However, he actually fled on the way. Later, he spent a lot of effort to catch him again, and then sent additional personnel to guard him along the way. Nothing happened. However, the person who should have escorted was unlucky. He thought it would be safe to enter Chang'an and did not worry about Wang Junkuo running away again, but he did not expect that Wang Junkuo had ambushed some people in Chang'an. As soon as he entered Chang'an, they rescued Wang Junkuo. He heard that nearly half of the people escorted were dead, which was simply miserable!"
When Lao Qiu said it at the end, he couldn't help but show a look of regret. Of course, most of these were heard by him, and I don't know if it was accurate. In addition, he still couldn't understand why Wang Junkuo didn't return to Beijing to receive the merits, but instead ran away?
In fact, not only Lao Qiu couldn't understand the above problem, but Li Xiu also didn't understand why Wang Junkuo was so destined to die. At the same time, he also lamented that Wang Junkuo was too brave and dared to kill people in Chang'an City, and he successfully escaped.
However, if an extraordinary person does extraordinary things, it is probably only a brave man like him who can escape under heavy escort. However, even if he escapes from Chang'an, it may be difficult for him to escape the next pursuit, right?
