Chapter 9: The Night of the Long Pavilion


The cold wind blew through the eaves, blowing some snow dust.

The dim yellow lamp was like a bean, illuminating the small room.

It was a simple room with only a bed, a table and a chair.

That's it, nothing more.

There is a charcoal stove burning in the room, which is very warm.

The quilt on the bed is new and extremely soft.

From these small details, we can see that the manager of this inn is a very careful person.

Li Kuan liked this very much.

It didn't matter what kind of house he lived in or what kind of quilt he made.

He was rough-skinned and thick-bodied anyway, but his girl couldn't tolerate any grievances or slights.

It can be said that Li Kuan protects his shortcomings, but that's just the way he is.

Gently putting the little girl on the bed, her slender waist could only be grasped, and she looked extremely slender even in fur.

Her long hair was spread around her head, with a hint of naughtiness creeping onto her pretty cheeks.

Under the dusk light, Li Lizhi's skin, which looked like a peeled lychee, shone with a different kind of luster.

Li Kuan was fascinated by what he saw: The little girl has really grown up, and what is supposed to come will eventually come, but she still asked me if I would agree to whom she would marry.

Li Kuan's expression changed and he couldn't help but drift away.

Looking at the sleeping little girl, he let out a long sigh.

Cover her with a quilt, then turn around and walk out of the room.

"Yicheng, bring a pot of wine and some side dishes," Li Kuan ordered lightly, walked to the table in the center and sat down.

After a while, a pottery wine jug and several dishes of side dishes were put on a tray and brought up.

Yi Cheng was a rather old man, wearing a set of standard clothes.

There was a big Yi Cheng on the clothes in front of him.

Character.

This was the first time Li Kuan had seen this thing since he came to this era.

In the past, he had seen many servants in movies and TV dramas wearing clothes with status symbols printed on the front and back.

But at that time it was just for a look.

Never looked into it.

Only at this time did I realize that those were all fake.

There were no soldiers with the word "pawn" printed on their fronts, and they were all wearing armor.

Where can I put a coat on outside?

"Your Highness, please take it easy."

Old Yi Cheng put the tray in his hand on the table, took out the wine and side dishes, placed them in front of Li Kuan, then bowed and left.

The wine was coarse rice wine, a bit cloudy, with some foam and impurities.

But Li Kuan poured himself a cup and took a sip of wine.

Take a bite of the dish.

There was a fire in the middle of the lobby, but it didn't look cold at all.

It's just that he is alone, and it seems a bit deserted.

The new wind blows through the eaves.

The ice hangs upside down like a cone.

This night seemed particularly quiet, as if the entire earth was already asleep, this land that gave birth to countless Chinese people, in this quiet snowy night.

Quietly without the slightest sound.

Li Kuan gradually heard his own heartbeat.

There is also the sound of gastrointestinal motility.

The flames on the fire flickered, and the light in the room and Li Kuan's shadow flickered.

There were several guards keeping vigil outside the house, and Li Kuan seemed to hear the sound of their hands rubbing to keep warm.

There was also Lao Yichen who was dozing in a small corner aside.

It seemed that at this moment, everything around him was mapped into Li Kuan's mind, accurately revealing pictures one after another.

"Old man, you go and have a rest first.

You don't need to serve me here," Li Kuan said to the old Yi Cheng who was squatting at the foot of the wall.

"Oh, thank you, Your Highness.

It's just fine for me to stay here," Lao Yi Cheng replied restrainedly.

"And the ones outside the door.

Come in too, it's okay to stomp outside."

Li Kuan said loudly.

There was a sound of thanks from outside.

But still no one came in, and even the sound of stamping feet disappeared.

"This is it."

Li Kuan shook his head helplessly.

These people are so stubborn.

These people are the simplest people and soldiers in the Tang Dynasty.

They all abide by their own rules and dare not go beyond them.

In this feudal society, the majesty of the royal family is above all things.

Those things that are unclear and unclear are thunder pools.

If you dare to step into them, the moody Tyrannosaurus Rex can kill people like them like little ants with just a roll of their eyes.

"That's all."

Li Kuan shook his head again.

This era has its own process, let him go, pick up a piece of pickled radish, it tastes good, the old Yi Cheng must have made it himself, and took a sip of wine.

Li Kuan narrowed his eyes, the night was already dark, and he quietly felt the silence of this moment.

"Who?"

At this moment, the guard outside the door suddenly shouted, followed by rapid footsteps.

Li Kuan opened his eyes and rushed out quickly.

He saw dozens of people fighting together in a chaotic mess in the yard outside.

On one side was the guard Li Kuan was familiar with who was protecting his brother and sister back to Chang'an.

They were wearing iron armor and holding horizontal swords.

On the other side was a large group of people dressed in blue, covering their faces in black.

These people held thick-backed machetes in their hands, and their length was no worse than that of a horizontal sword.

Moreover, these people had strong hands and wielded machetes that were much heavier than horizontal knives, but they were still not clumsy.

They were inextricably linked to Li Kuan and his guards.

"Who are you?"

Li Kuan also took out the horizontal sword on his body and joined the battle group.

Although he drank a lot from his own drink, he was not drunk at all.

The sword slashed across the sky like a white lightning, splitting a few flying snowflakes, and then slashed straight at the person closest to him.

Raider.

There was a clear sound of "dang".

At the critical moment, the attacker used the machete in his hand to hold up a gorgeous knife flower, blocking Li Kuan's blow.

Although the whole person was hit and flew out, there was no trace of it.

No injuries.

"Where to go?"

Li Kuan quickly took a big step, his feet slipped, and he suddenly slid out on the snowy ground.

"Your Highness, be careful!"

a guard suddenly shouted.

"What?"

Li Kuan turned sideways while gliding rapidly.

The moment he turned his body sideways, a machete slashed down from his previous position.

Then he cut into the snowdrift all at once, and the man with the knife rushed over.

Li Kuan saw this opportunity.

When he turned sideways, he suddenly exerted force on his feet and turned into a spin.

The horizontal knife in his hand was like a flying knife wheel, and it swept across from half waist height.

With lightning speed, he cut the attacker who was sliding past him in half.

His upper body flew straight out, and his lower body slid rapidly against the ground.

Blood was like a fountain, spurting out all of a sudden around Li Kuan, spraying high.

Blood mist filled the air, and then quickly condensed into pieces of ice mist at extremely low temperatures, and then dispersed in the wind.

The attacker who was sent flying by "Lao San" let out a sharp cry, and the machete in his hand shot out rapidly at this moment, like a meteorite piercing the sky, whizzing towards Li Kuanbiao.

"Looking for death" Li Kuan slashed forward with his sword, knocked the incoming machete to the ground, and then rushed forward quickly in the previous direction.

The attacker saw that it was a rare opportunity to throw it away at this time. .

This is the best time to take advantage of his illness and kill him.

If we don't catch him, how long will it take?

"Follow him, he has that thing on him."

One of the remaining attackers shouted, and then took the lead in chasing Li Kuan.

"Kill and stop them!"

Li Kuan's guards also shouted, and quickly chased after the attackers.

"Whoever stands in my way will die!"

the attackers shouted, waving their knives and entangled with the guards.

They started fighting back and forth.

Both sides' knives were directed at each other without hesitation, each with their own injuries. , the knife tore through his clothes and created a stream of sparks on the armor.

"If you want to hurt His Highness the King of Chu, you must first step over our brother's body."

Several guards rushed up side by side, holding horizontal swords across their chests, fighting bravely without fear of death.

"Go away!"

Li Kuan blocked an attacker who was trying to attack with a knife, and flashed the knife in his hand, setting off streaks of bright light.

Without missing a beat, the sword hit the opponent's machete.

The fierce force was like a rising tide, one wave after another, knocking the opponent straight back for a long distance.

With a diagonal movement of the knife, the machete, which had been shaken and unable to be held, flew away.

Li Kuan raised his sword, cold light flashed, and a huge six-yang leader flew into the sky, and a fountain of blood shot out of the sky again.

"Retreat!"

The attacker, who was knocked away by Li Kuan at the beginning, shouted loudly in the distance, then quickly turned around and ran away.

He was the leader of this group of attackers.

Because he was at the front, he was the closest when Li Kuan rushed out of the house.

He didn't expect that he would be knocked away immediately.

At this time, he was very lucky.

Fortunately, he was beaten far away, otherwise his head would have been in a different place by now.

An inexplicable attack came suddenly and ended unexpectedly.

When the attackers heard the leader's order to retreat, they immediately threw away the guards that were pestering them.

Each one of them was like a rabbit out of a cage, darting away in the distance with a few quick flashes on the snow.

"Don't leave, thief."

Li Kuan was wearing armor, but his speed was astonishing.

Without the desperate entanglement of the other attackers, his speed was like an arrow leaving the string, and he rushed out of the gate of the inn, towards The target he had always locked on quickly chased after him.

His target has always been only one person, and that is the leader.

The others may be desperadoes found from nowhere, but the leader must be an important figure.

As long as he is caught, there will definitely be inside information.

Li Kuan's figure is like an arrow.

Every step he takes in the armor will leave deep footprints on the snow, but the snow covering his calves does not hinder his progress.

The snow was flying, and his figure quickly disappeared into the night.

"Your Highness, don't chase me.

Be careful.

It's the enemy's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain."

The guard shouted from behind.

"Beauty" Li Kuan suddenly stopped.

Others may not care about him, just like the two guards who died in the battle just now.

It was just a matter of 20,000 points.

There may be a little trouble, but he is confident about those troubles. can be solved.

But if something happened to Li Lizhi, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

At this time, Li Lizhi was only surrounded by the two maids she had brought out of the palace.

They had no protective power at all.

If they were attacked, the consequences would be disastrous.

So Li Kuan gave up the idea of ​​arresting the attackers and turned back to the inn
