Chapter 349 Knocking out front teeth and swallowing blood

Da da da…

On the spacious long street of the capital, Xue Shence led a group of military attachés to the city, attracting countless side glances.

In the past, military attaches rarely wore armor outside, let alone walking around like this today?

When Xue Shence followed the letter Zhao Duan gave him and approached the residence of Prince Heng, he finally spoke slowly and narrated the general process so that the group would not be confused about the situation later.

"Prince Heng detained Zhao Qianshi's people?"

The military attaches looked at each other and instinctively wanted to evacuate.

I didn’t want to wade into this muddy water, but I resisted.

The Privy Councilor led the crowd here with the most obvious intention, which was to support Zhao Duan and show to the outside world that the military attaché group was advancing and retreating together.

Anyone who dares to leave now is clearly seeking death.

"Master Zhao will definitely be grateful to know that you are helping him like this." Shi Meng, the commander of the Shenji Battalion, said seriously.

Xue Shence shook his head and said:

"This trip is not only to help him, but also to help Prince Heng, but in the final analysis, it is to help His Majesty share his worries."

These words are worth pondering. Although Shi Meng looks rough, he is as careful as hair. After thinking about it for a while, he suddenly realized:

With Zhao Duan's past temper, it would be very easy for conflicts to arise when asking for someone this time. Although Xu Zudi has a distinguished status, this is the capital after all, not Qingzhou Road.

This really angered Zhao Duan, and the prince must be the one who suffered.

Zhao Duan's past "records" have already proven that this is a being that no one in heaven dares to expose and anyone dares to beat.

But Xu Zudi is the empress's brother after all. If this matter gets serious, it will still be the empress who has a headache.

Therefore, by bringing people there, Xue Shence could control the situation within a certain range and eliminate small things instead of causing major ones. This would relieve His Majesty's worries.

Shi Meng looked in admiration and said, "Your Excellency is still thoughtful. If Zhao Qian knew about this..."

Xue Shence smiled and said:

"Of course he knows, otherwise why would he go alone first and let me wait in the rear sweep formation? It's just a matter of giving him some time to make a fuss and talk about it. Our official is still angry in his heart. I want to Give it a shot."

If Zhao Duan wanted to calm down the problem, it would be the best choice to go directly to the house with Xue Shence.

Xu Zudi dared to provoke Zhao Duan, but he did not dare to offend Xue Shence.

The former is just a popular person next to the Empress, who is hostile to the Eight Kings and is not afraid of offending.

But the Wuxun Group represented by Xue Shence is the target that the Eight Kings also want to win over.

"Zhao Duan went in alone to make a fuss to save face. We followed behind to control the situation. Just like on a stage, there are always some people who are good and some are bad. Shi Meng, you are good at running an army. But when it comes to Zongheng and Pihe, we should learn from him," Xue Shence said calmly.

At this time, a group of generals had arrived outside the gate of the house.

The injured guard had been carried away, and new people were posted to stand guard. When they saw a group of generals coming in force, their expressions suddenly changed.

"ah!!"

In the hall, when Zhao Duan turned his wrist and threw the flying knife at Prince Heng, the beautiful maid's sharp exclamation sounded in the house.

Accompanied by Li Lang's widened eyes and Mrs. Xiao's stunned look.

Woo!

Even Xu Zudi was stunned for a moment, as if he had not expected that Zhao Duan would take action suddenly.

At this distance, he had no time to react. Only the tip of the knife expanded in his pupils!

However, the second before Zhao Duan took action, the old man who had always stood quietly in the corner of the house with his head bowed had already taken a step.

In an instant, like lightning, he stood in front of Xu Zudi. The old man with his hands on his knees leaned forward slightly, and two iron-like fingers on his right hand stretched out.

In the midst of the lightning and flint, he actually clamped the flying knife with his two fingers!

"bite!!"

The rough joints collided with the blade, causing sparks to fly out. The flying knife, which was almost pulling out an afterimage and carrying huge force, was forced to stop by the old man. The blade was only a millimeter away from the old man's ravaged eyebrows.

"How dare you, Zhuzi!"

The old man's deep eyes showed indifference. He rotated his wrist and reflected the flying knife that was struggling frantically and trying to escape like a meteor towards Zhao Duan's face!

The speed is actually one minute faster than when it came!

“Buzz!!!”

The Golden Crow Flying Knife seemed to be spiritual. It adjusted its direction in the air crazily to avoid accidentally injuring its owner. It passed by Zhao Duan's ear, dangerously and dangerously, lifting a strand of hair.

With a "bang" sound, a jade ornament at the back was shattered, and the sound was terrifying.

"Sir, be careful!" Hou Ren suddenly realized it and was about to draw his sword and step forward to stop the running old man.

But they saw that the old man Shen Yin had already approached one foot in front of Zhao Duan in an instant, thrust out his heavy cannon-like fist, carrying the wind and thunder, as if he was going to punch Zhao Duan through with one punch.

However, Zhao Duan remained calm and composed, not dodging or evading.

The old man raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he was surprised. He was about to gather some strength, but in the next second, he felt a force of energy locking him, and his hair stood on end, as if if he took one step closer, he would end up violently dead.

Danger!

The old man suddenly retreated violently at the cost of internal injuries, and in the blink of an eye, he flashed back to Xu Zudi.

The next second, that wisp of sharp energy dissipated, and Zhao Duan's eyes looked slightly disappointed.

I heard a large number of chaotic footsteps coming from outside the house, as well as Xue Shence's high-pitched voice:

"Your Highness, Mr. Xue has taken the liberty to come to the door, causing much disturbance."

Xue Shence is here!

At this moment, Hou Renmeng was the first to show a look of relief, his palms already wet with sweat.

Only then did the rest of the people in the room come to their senses.

Everything that happened just now happened too fast, almost in the blink of an eye, the entire process of fighting and ending was completed.

Even if you are a practitioner, it is difficult to react if you are not paying attention, let alone a mortal? "ah--"

Li Lang realized it later and shouted, almost falling backwards, his face turning pale with fear.

Mrs. Xiao slowly came back to her senses. At first she glanced at Zhao Duan in surprise, and then she was attracted by the sound of people outside the house, and she became even more stunned.

When Xu Zudi came back to his senses, a layer of cold sweat was already covering his back, and a surge of anger suddenly surged into his heart.

He was shocked and angry. He didn't expect this pretty boy named Zhao to be so bold.

But as soon as the anger hit his heart, he was forcefully pushed back by a group of armored generals who stepped into the hall door!

"Envoy Xue?" Xu Zudi's expression stiffened, "Why are you here?"

Xue Shence seemed to turn a blind eye to the tense situation in the room, and said with a smile:

"Today, during the military Mid-Autumn Festival, I had a banquet with the generals. On the way back to the city, Zhao Qianshi said goodbye in a hurry and ran away. We had no choice but to chase after him, but we didn't expect that we had an appointment with His Royal Highness. Hey, what are you... "

Zhao Duan looked guilty:

"It's really rude. Something happened here, so I asked you all to run away. There was a misunderstanding between the Crown Prince and I, and it has been resolved."

Ah, this... Isn't it my lord, you asked me to follow you... Hou Renmeng muttered in his heart, but did not dare to speak.

I lamented how a group of military generals are all drama queens. The military generals who promised to be straightforward are different from the civil servants in the city?

People's hearts are not ancient...

"Haha, what Commander Zhao said is that they are all misunderstandings and misunderstandings."

Xu Zudi's expression changed several times, but finally he laughed and said, "It's already been said."

Xue Shence smiled and said: "That's good. Let's choose a different day. Speaking of which, I haven't seen His Highness the Crown Prince for a long time. Why don't we have a casual meal together?"

Xu Zudi smiled and said: "Thank you Master Xue for your kindness. Unfortunately, I have another invitation and cannot attend the banquet. How about another day?"

Xue Shence looked regretful, but did not continue the invitation and turned to look at Zhao Duan.

Zhao Duan also smiled and said to Xu Zudi:

"Your Highness, shall I take my leave first? As for my useless subordinates..."

"Mr. Zhao, do it yourself." Xu Zudi gritted his back molars and forced a smile.

In this situation, it would be the most honorable outcome for both sides to withdraw their troops. If the dispute continues, it will definitely be him who suffers.

"Thank you."

Zhao Duan clasped his fists and gave Hou Ren a fierce look. The latter drew his knife and cut off the ropes of the three Jinyi captains tied on the ground.

Although several people were severely beaten, they could still walk, so they immediately followed them without saying a word.

The two sides said goodbye, and the large group of people left the mansion in great force.

As quickly as it came, it left even faster, and in the blink of an eye, only a mess was left.

After everyone was sent away, the smile on Xu Zudi's face, which was standing at the gate, disappeared little by little and turned gloomy.

The knuckles of the hands hanging on his sleeves crackled, his breathing became rapid, and he stared at Zhao in the distance.

What does knocking out front teeth and swallowing blood mean? In today's conflict, instead of getting any advantage, he was defeated.

I can only swallow my anger.

"Your Highness, I..." The old man opened his mouth to explain.

Xu Zudi shook his head and interrupted:

"It doesn't matter. Xue Shence has the reputation of being the God of War. He is indeed not someone to be trifled with. You were right to stop in time. It was my miscalculation. Unexpectedly, Xue Shence also followed."

"Cousin, are you just letting him run away like this?"

At this moment, Li Lang couldn't help but say that he was a little aggrieved. He thought he could borrow his cousin's help to avenge his revenge today, but he didn't expect to get anything in the end.

Xu Zudi also felt a headache for this incompetent dandy cousin. He sighed and comforted:

"You go back first. Revenge is not in the moment. I will go to the palace to talk about my aunt's affairs later."

Li Lang opened his mouth, but could only walk away dejectedly.

"Your Highness, this Zhao Duan is not simple. He could have come with Envoy Xue, but he put on a show in the hall, but we helped him win people's hearts."

Mrs. Xiao had already picked the apple in her mouth and said calmly at this time.

Her attention is another point.

The officials at Lihuatang are indeed generally domineering, and the more people below them, the more so they are.

It was originally a famous gathering place for thorns, and it was backed by a banner like Zhao Duan. Zhao Duan was not easy to control before. Forcible restraint would definitely make his subordinates dissatisfied and lose "popular support."

But today's encounter gave him an excellent excuse. It can be imagined that Zhao Duan will definitely use this to rectify his discipline after returning today.

But just now, in front of three subordinates, he deliberately damaged his face and took the initiative to "bow down" and give the prince a fine drink to make amends.

With this gesture, the mental arithmetic of the three subordinates was completely taken away. After returning, no matter how Zhao Duan punished them, the three of them would not feel resentful, but would only feel guilty and self-blame.

And it will also serve as a model and example, allowing Lihuatang to complete a round of rectification without causing too many complaints.

This is what the art of controlling subordinates means.

"No need for you to remind me."

Xu Zudi became increasingly dissatisfied, as if venting his anger, he put his big hands on Mrs. Xiao's round buttocks, flattened them and rounded them, and sneered:

"Let's leave him alone and wait for the show. Hehe, we have been in the city for a few days. If there is no accident, then Mr. Zhengyang should start making trouble. There may be results today, but it depends on me, the royal sister. How do we, Your Majesty, deal with this?"

Mrs. Xiao's eyebrows were lowered, her eyes were like the East Lake in Qingzhou, without any waves.
