Chapter 2339 Trampling on Dignity
Changsun Chong's face was ashen, he clenched his fists tightly and stared at Cheng Wuting angrily.
Although he has committed a serious crime, although he is in exile, and although he is like a lost dog, he is a descendant of the eldest son's family, and he has his own pride after having single-handedly created the great achievements of this country!
Have you ever been laughed at and ridiculed by people like Cheng Wuting?
Cheng Wuting stopped, a contemptuous smile emerged, pointed at the wall of swords and spears, and said leisurely: "Why, Master Changsun is very unhappy with Beizi's words? It doesn't matter, if you think Beizi is wrong, then just Prove it to the humble job - rush over now and use Your bravery and fearlessness prove your stubbornness and pride. If you can do it, I will kowtow to you and apologize. If you can't do it, then put away your humble look. It seems to be strong and unyielding. The situation forces it, but in fact it is begging for mercy. How about a shameless face? ”
Changsun Chong's face was as red as blood, and he was extremely ashamed and angry.
Rush forward?
He could be sure that these soldiers and government officials would immediately cut him into seventeen or eighteen pieces with a sharp horizontal knife in the name of "arrest"!
To endure humiliation?
These words simply stripped away all his pride and reserve. He was as embarrassed and embarrassed as a lost dog. After today, the words "I will not hesitate to throw away my dignity and beg Princess Changle to take my own life in the face of arrest" will definitely spread. Throughout Chang'an, not only would he become a shameless coward, but the entire eldest son's family would also bear endless shame.
However...
How could a man who is capable of bending and stretching and sizing up the situation, knowing that Cheng Wuting did not dare to disobey Princess Changle's orders, so he used words to encourage her to go to a dead end, still stupidly slip into his trap and make these people achieve their goals?
Changsun Chong thought he could bear it.
But he can bear it, but some people can't...
The coachman who had been standing behind him suddenly rushed out and roared: "The eldest son's family has been brave for generations and has conquered six towns. How can he be humiliated by a villain like you?"
He took out a dagger from his arms and rushed towards Cheng Wuting.
"Boom boom boom"
A series of bowstrings vibrated, and several crossbow arrows came out from the strings, instantly nailing the coachman. The powerful force pushed the coachman's figure to one side, and he fell to the ground with a miserable howl.
The short crossbow arrow pierced his body hard, leaving only a short tail feather...
Changsun Chong suddenly changed his color and wanted to go forward to check. As soon as he moved, he found that all the crossbow arrows and horizontal knives were aimed at him. It seemed that as long as he made the slightest move, he would be shot like a hedgehog and die on the spot. .
Had to stop.
Cheng Wuting sneered: "Young master Changsun is indeed a handsome man and knows the current affairs well. In comparison, this coachman is extremely stupid. He charged knowing that he would die and thought that using his blood can wash away the shame of the Changsun family? Stupid! No matter how much it is, Even the blood cannot annihilate Young Master Changsun’s desire to survive... I wonder if Young Master Changsun thinks so?”
Changsun Chong's face turned pale, and he stared blankly at the driver who was still struggling and wailing on the ground.
In an instant, the wailing gradually became lower and the struggle gradually stopped. Along with the coachman, all the dignity and pride of Changsun Chong died.
At this moment, he was like a wild dog wandering the streets begging for food. He had no dignity and no integrity. He was beaten and scolded at will and even needed charity from others for his life. He also had his head trampled on in the mud. He was so unscrupulous. Humiliation...
Cheng Wuting curled his lips and looked a little disappointed when he looked at the lost Changsun Chong.
You have a bit of backbone, so you rush forward risking your life? That way we don't have to worry too much, we can just finish you off with a flurry of arrows and swords.
But Changsun Chong could endure it and pretend to be a grandson, but he was helpless.
After all, this is the eldest son and direct grandson of the Changsun family, and he was once His Majesty's beloved son-in-law. Although he once violated the criminal law for his disobedience, the dignity among nobles cannot be desecrated. The emperor can execute him in various ways, but he must not let him die at will. He died a humble death at the hands of soldiers and government officials.
Cheng Wuting ignored Changsun Chong and walked away. He called his confidants and whispered: "Go to the academy quickly and inform Fang Shaobao that Princess Changle is protecting the murderer. I can't make a decision on the matter here. Please He came to decide.”
"Here!"
The confidant got the order, turned around, mounted his horse, and galloped away.
When Cheng Wuting saw that his confidants were leaving, he raised his voice and ordered: "Sent out sentries to the left and right to seal the block tightly. If anyone dares to approach, they will be expelled! Anyone who refuses to obey the order will be killed without mercy!"
"Here!"
The surrounding soldiers and government officials started to move. It was already dark now. Torches were lit one after another, illuminating the area dozens of feet in radius outside the Taoist temple. Every detail was visible.
Surrounded like an iron barrel.
……
Within the Taoist temple.
The maid brought the dinner, but Princess Changle waved her away.
At this moment, Changsun Chong was outside the door, and his life was hanging by a thread. How could she still be in the mood to eat?
Although all the complaints against Changsun Chong have been clearly separated to this day and there is absolutely no connection between them, but after all, Zeng and his wife were together, if they had to watch him being arrested by Jingzhao Mansion and put in prison until the end. Canonical punishment is not only unbearable, but also guilty.
Because Changsun Chong came here to see her, and he just fell into the trap of Jingzhao Mansion...
Thinking of Cheng Wuting's stubbornness in refusing her order just now, Princess Changle couldn't help but pursed her lips and snorted bitterly.
No matter who leads what kind of soldiers, Fang Jun’s subordinates are all just sticks...
You actually use Jing Zhaoyin to excuse yourself. Do you really think that if you don't care about political affairs, you can't see the tricks they play?
He just asked for Fang Jun to come, but Cheng Wuting showed his weakness. Ma Zhou was upright and strong. If he gave the order, how could Fang Jun be allowed to intervene? Not to mention Fang Jun, even Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling could not let Ma Zhou ignore the law and sell the imperial intrusion as a favor!
But when Fang Jun comes later, how can I plead with him and avoid Changsun Chong's life?
If Fang Jun rejects him outright, although he can't bear to see Changsun Chong behind bars, it will feel better anyway, but what if Fang Jun takes the opportunity to put forward various conditions...
Thinking of the grievances between Fang Jun and Changsun Chong, as well as her helplessness of being mixed up in them for no reason, Princess Changle put her hand on her forehead and was helpless.
There was a sound of footsteps outside the alchemy room.
A female nun walked into the alchemy room and whispered: "Your Highness, Fang Shaobao wants to see you."
Princess Changle's heart suddenly tightened and she said: "Let him come in."
"Here."
When the nuns left, Princess Changle quickly sat upright, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled it to calm down her nervous mood.
For some reason, meeting Fang Jun under such circumstances made her feel a little flustered for no reason, as if she had done something wrong...
Before he could finish his thoughts, Fang Jun strode in, walked to the room and stood still. He bowed his arms to the ground and said respectfully: "I have seen your highness! I don't know that your highness has summoned me at night. What are your orders?"
< br>
Princess Changle stood there, her eyelids twitching slightly. She first waved her hand to repel all the maids in the room. When only the two of them were left, she said in a clear voice: "It's really inappropriate to disturb Fang Shaobao's rest." I have no choice but to forgive you.”
Fang Jun had already straightened up, smiled brightly when he heard the words, and said: "You and I have lived and died together, and our love is extraordinary. If necessary, I will still stand in front of His Highness, and I will die without regrets. Why do you need to say such polite words? Your Highness has orders, just follow your orders."
Princess Changle felt that her palms were a little sweaty. What about living and dying together, what kind of relationship was extraordinary, and why she died in vain in front of His Highness... These nonsense sounds seem reasonable, but if you think about it carefully, it is difficult to understand. conceal its deeper meaning.
This made her a little embarrassed, but it seemed that Fang Jun's attitude would not refuse her request, which made her quietly relieved.
Forget it, who wants to ask for help from others?
He took advantage of his words, so let him go...
Thinking of this, Princess Changle raised her eyes, looked at Fang Jun, and said softly: "Fang Shaobao is a hero in this world, how can I dare to boss you around? It's just that Fang Shaobao also knows the grudge between me and Changsun Chong, and can't bear it. I'm going to die. I want to ask Fang Shaobao to be more open and let him go."
Fang Jun stood in the room with a serious face and fell into silence.
Princess Changle's heart suddenly lifted, and her slender hands clenched tightly subconsciously, fearing that she would hear Fang Jun resolutely reject her, or even kill Changsun Chong on the spot.
There's nothing this guy doesn't dare to do...
After a long time, Fang Jun finally spoke. He did not agree or refuse, but asked calmly: "If His Majesty is here, I wonder if His Majesty can still intercede for Changsun Chong and ask for pardon for his life?"
Princess Changle's pretty face changed color and her delicate body trembled slightly. (End of chapter)
