Chapter 4657: All legs are broken
In the spring, Zhongnan Mountain is green and rolling, with birds chirping and flying in the treetops, clear springs gurgling in the stone streams and grass, sometimes the roar of wild animals shakes the mountains and forests, and sometimes there is a breeze blowing through the green forest like waves.
There are birds singing, flowers fragrant, spring and scenery bright.
The Taoist temple hidden among the trees was in a tense situation at this moment. The soldiers of the house and the princess's guards had their swords unsheathed and arrows cocked, surrounding the Taoist temple. The scouts were even ten miles ahead to ensure that anyone approaching could detect it in advance. Knowing and having nothing to hide from, the Taoist temple is not allowed to be in any danger of being attacked.
The Taoist temple was even more tense and solemn.
More than a dozen palace maids were busy under the command of the midwife, constantly bringing hot water, cotton cloth and other items into the rebuilt delivery room on one side of the palace, but they were all very gentle and did not dare to make the slightest sound.
Princess Gaoyang, dressed in splendid clothes, was sitting on a chair in the corridor. Her beautiful face was expressionless, but her bare hands were holding the teacup so hard that her nails were slightly white.
Jin Shengman was wearing light armor and standing beside her with a sword. His beautiful eyes were shining, and his gaze passed over every palace maid and midwife. If he found any abnormalities, he would draw his sword and kill them without hesitation!
Someone had already planned to murder Princess Changle to anger Fang Jun. Now that Princess Changle is about to give birth, everything must be ensured.
From time to time, a cry of pain came from the delivery room.
The sun was just right today. Princess Gaoyang was bathing in the warm sunshine in the corridor. She felt hot in her heart. Coupled with the moans and calls, she became even more upset. She couldn't help but spat: "I have been acting like a fairy all day long. He looks like he has nothing in his heart. I thought he had a strong personality. Who would have thought that he would yell like this after giving birth to a child? It’s really useless.”
Jin Shengman was speechless. For women, childbirth is like a death sentence. The feeling of pain and fear is enough to defeat any reason. Which woman doesn't scream?
There was a commotion outside the audience, but it soon became quiet.
Before Princess Gaoyang sent someone to inquire, Cen Changqian, who was dressed in military uniform and armor, walked into the courtyard from outside, walked quickly to Princess Gaoyang, bowed and reported in a low voice: "Your Highness, the scouts just found a group trying to approach the Taoist temple. The thieves, I led people to arrest them all, and after a brief interrogation, they went into the mountains to hunt and accidentally approached this place. "
Now, there are quite a few forces in the clan and in the court targeting Fang Jun. Perhaps they don't want to do anything to Fang Jun, but just want to do something to anger Fang Jun. There is a precedent for this.
Therefore, when Princess Changle gave birth, she did not even dare to stay in the palace, lest those people would take advantage of the crowds and complexity. Therefore, Princess Changle was placed in the Taoist temple in Zhongnan Mountain, where everyone was close and reliable, both inside and outside. To avoid accidents.
Even so, it was like facing a formidable enemy.
"Hunting in the mountains?"
Princess Gao Yang sneered: "The Zhongnan Mountains are so vast, with thousands of ravines and criss-crossing mountains, how could we end up here by such a coincidence? The more coincidental it is, the more unlucky it is."
He waved his little hand and said in a cold voice: "If my sister was not about to give birth to Lin'er today, and she didn't want to add to the crime of killing, we should have killed all these people! However, although the death penalty is exempted, the living crime is unforgivable. Each of them has one leg broken. Then let Li Junxian take over and tell him that no matter what method he uses, he must find out the identities and intentions of these people, and let him report it to Lang Jun personally, and it will be up to Lang Jun to make the decision. "
"Here!"
Cen Changqian did not dare to say anything, so she quickly accepted the order and turned around to exit.
This His Highness has a beautiful appearance and golden branches and leaves, but he opens his mouth to kill people. He is murderous and violent, which is a bit scary.
However, he also heard that when Changsun Wuji rebelled, it was this highness who stayed in the Duke of Liang's mansion and led a group of soldiers to repeatedly defeat powerful enemy rebels. She was by no means a timid and cowardly ordinary woman.
And the Princess of Silla, who was standing with a sword next to Her Royal Highness, with a heroic appearance, even personally went into battle to capture Changsun Wuji's son alive...
There is also the warrior lady whose intelligence and strategy are said to be second to none...
Each of these women is outstanding, stunningly talented and beautiful, and it would be difficult to conquer one of them, but the commander-in-chief can embrace everyone and enjoy the blessings of everyone.
Marshal, he is truly a god...
After leaving the Taoist Temple Gate, Cen Changqian quickly came to a group of thieves dressed as slaves and dandies who were being held down by soldiers and kneeling on the ground. She said in a cold voice: "Your Highness has an order. Everyone has one leg broken and sent to the Baiqi Division." 'In the interrogation... they all kept their mouths shut, so as not to disturb the nobles with their cries and howls. ”
"Here!"
The soldiers immediately stepped forward and pushed the group of people to the ground. Some people found sticks and were waiting for execution.
A group of people suddenly struggled desperately, their mouths were blocked and they couldn't scream, but they could still make a "whining" sound, twisting around like maggots.
The leader somehow managed to get the rag off his mouth and shouted: "I am Li Sixun, the second son of the Duke of Xun. I am a member of the royal family. How can you, the bastards, abuse me? This world belongs to my Li family, you guys." You can’t rebel if you want to!”
"Haha, Li Xiaoxie, Duke of Xi?"
Cen Changqian sneered.
Then Li Sixun said angrily: "How dare you call my father's name?"
Cen Changqian smiled playfully: "If you just keep your mouth shut and break a leg, this matter will probably end there. But since you carried your father out, then this matter will not be so unresolved." , my commander-in-chief will go to the Duke of Xi’s mansion later and ask for an explanation.”
Li Sixun's face turned pale, knowing that he had gotten into a big trouble, and said in a trembling voice: "It's just a hunt in the mountains, doesn't it have to be like this? Besides, we are several miles away and have never disturbed this place!"
< br>
He couldn't figure out what was going on before. Could it be that Fang Er bought Zhongnan Mountain and was not even allowed to enter the mountain?
Now that I was pressed outside this Taoist temple, I knew that there must be a noble person here, and I was afraid that I might have bumped into the noble person unintentionally.
When I heard Cen Changqian say "Your Highness" again, I naturally knew that Princess Gaoyang was here.
But even Princess Gaoyang can't let me go hunting in the mountains, right?
Is it possible that this person is stealing people here behind Fang Er's back, so he wants to eradicate himself?
The more Li Sixun thought about it, the more frightened he became, but then he thought, if he really wanted to steal people here, he wouldn't have brought so many soldiers and horses, let alone sent him to "Hundred Cavalry Division". Wouldn't it be known to the whole world?
No matter how you think about it, it will not be a good thing, and you are trembling.
Cen Changqian said without being verbose: "If you have anything to do, go to Baiqisi and tell me. Whether you can get out of Baiqisi alive depends on you, and your father won't help either."
With a wave of his hand, the soldier stepped forward and blocked Li Sixun's mouth again, then raised the stick high and smashed it down on his leg.
"Woo——"
Severe pain came, and Li Sixun's eyes bulged and his veins bulged, and then his nose and tears flowed down...
"Bang bang bang" the muffled sound of the stick breaking the leg bone was heard one after another, and all the slaves were in severe pain, struggling and twisting on the ground.
After smashing it from beginning to end and confirming that nothing was missing, Cen Changqian waved his hand: "There is no need to treat the injuries. They will all be transported to the outside of Xuanwu Gate by car and handed over to the 'Baiqisi' for disposal."
"Here."
The soldiers drove the carriages carrying food and clothing to send people down the mountain.
Because it involved the clan, Cen Changqian turned around and entered the mountain gate again to report to Princess Gaoyang. As soon as she entered the door, she heard a loud cry of a baby coming from the delivery room in the side hall.
A smile instantly broke out on Cen Changqian's face, and her steps became much brisker.
"Prosperous heirs" has always been one of the signs of success, even the most important. Otherwise, even if you have thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, no one will inherit the country, and no one will offer blood after death, what is the use of ruling the world? ?
The more sons Fang Jun has, the greater the probability that one of them will be outstanding and be able to inherit Fang Jun's career. This is a good thing for all those who follow Fang Jun.
Even though Fang Jun is only in his twenties now...
But followers will also have sons in the future. Such a long-lasting friendship that is passed down from generation to generation is the best alliance of interests.
A midwife walked quickly from the delivery room, with an irrepressible smile on her face, and said loudly: "I am so happy, Your Highness has given birth to a little boy! He is in good health, and the mother and child are safe!"
Princess Gaoyang, who had been standing nervously at the door, suddenly became energetic. She waved her hand and said grandly: "Reward! Everyone is lucky, the reward is doubled!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Everyone inside and outside the house was smiling.
Princess Gaoyang was worried about Princess Changle, and wanted to go into the house to have a look, but the midwife stopped her, saying that she would not allow outsiders to visit until it was cleaned up, otherwise it would be too dirty and would be detrimental.
Princess Gaoyang could only give up.
Cen Changqian stepped forward at this time and whispered: "Those people have already confessed that they are Li Sixun, the second son of the Duke of Xi, and insist that they went into the mountains to hunt and strayed here. However, judging from the following, there may be another hidden story."
"Li Xiaoxie, Duke of Xi?"
Princess Gaoyang narrowed her phoenix eyes and snorted coldly: "I sent someone to assassinate my eldest brother in the Japanese country before, and now it's like this again? I'm afraid it's because Lang Jun forced me to lose a lot of money. I feel distressed and want to do something." Take it out.”
After a pause, he said: "Ignore it, let Li Junxian investigate clearly, and then make a decision after Lang Jun comes back."
Li Xiaoxie probably didn't have the guts to send someone to disturb Princess Changle's birth. Even if he had the guts, he might not send his own son here.
There may be a deeper conspiracy behind this matter, and the clan may be involved. It is better to wait until Fang Jun comes back before making any further calculations.
"I understand."
"Okay, take people to guard here. Don't let anyone disturb Sister Changle and her children. As long as you feel that someone has evil intentions, you can make a decision immediately. Don't be afraid of arresting the wrong person. No matter whether you arrest the wrong person or not, you will have your own. Support you.”
"Here."
Cen Changqian was in high spirits. Although Her Royal Highness the Princess looked a little squeamish, she was actually decisive and courageous. Since she had her support behind her, what else did she have to fear?
……
Li Junxian had lunch at the "Baiqisi" military camp outside Xuanwu Gate and sat in the official mansion drinking tea, but his mind had already drifted to Zhongnan Mountain.
Recently, Princess Changle was about to give birth. The palace and the Fang family sent a midwife, and the Fang family soldiers and the princess's guards protected her. Li Junxian did not dare to send anyone there, but he always kept it in mind and prayed to God and Buddha for protection so that nothing would happen. .
If someone with no eyesight disturbed Princess Changle's delivery, it would be fine. If something happened, he couldn't imagine what kind of turmoil Fang Jun would cause after returning to Beijing.
Just as he was worried, he saw his lieutenant running in quickly and said quickly: "General, something bad is going on. Someone went hunting around the Taoist temple where Princess Changle lived. He was caught on the spot. Princess Gaoyang had her legs broken and sent here. Here, it is said that the general will conduct a rigorous interrogation to find out the truth, and then leave it to the Duke of Yue to make a decision. "
Li Junxian only felt a "buzzing" sound in his head, which was also strange. He was afraid of something... (End of Chapter)
