Chapter 524 I, Chai Daguan, return of the king
诱辘.
The windlass.
Dingle bell, jingle bell...
The ruts are long and horizontal, the horses' hooves are trampling, and the brass bell tied around the horse's neck swings back and forth, making a ringing sound.
In the car with tassels hanging from the corners and a blue curtain hanging on the front door, Xiao Meiniang's body swayed back and forth with the car, her brows slightly frowned, and her little mouth was pouted because Mr. Chai had just laughed at her.
After coming down from the mountains in Mi County, she carried him all the way, which made her very embarrassed. However, the money was in his arms, and she never thought of buying it from people in the villages and towns along the way. A carriage, even a flat carriage without a carriage, with a bed of quilts and people placed on it is still better than walking with a heavy load.
She was speechless...
Having been a queen for more than 20 years, she was used to the days when she had to reach for her clothes and open her mouth for food. She left the palace and plunged headlong into the world of mortals. The most basic survival abilities are gone.
“How far is it from Luoyang City...?”
"Three or four miles."
The coachman's reply came from outside.
Xiao Meiniang opened the curtain of the small window and looked outside. Her expression was a little complicated. She pursed her beautiful lips twice and bit them twice.
I took a bath last night and put on the clothes of the daughter of the richest family in Chenliu Village. Although it was a bit ill-fitting and less elegant, it was undeniable that she had regained her alluring appearance.
“Are you worried?”
"..."
Xiao Meiniang didn't say anything, she just lowered her head slightly, rubbed her jade fingers, and circled the corners of her clothes frequently.
“Are you worried that it will be difficult to see me again when you return to the palace?”
“You still ask me if you know.”
She was not angry or shy, He sighed heavily.
Although the two of them were mostly practicing kung fu during this period, she still knew a little about the major events in the world. After Wang Shichong returned to Luoyang, he proclaimed the young Yang Tong as emperor. If she returned to the palace at this time, her identity would be Yang Tong's grandmother. The empress dowager of the Sui Dynasty.
It is said that once you enter the Hou family, it is as deep as the sea. It will be difficult to meet the prince Chai Shao. There are many eyes and ears in the palace and people talk a lot.
In addition, she knew very well that Wang Shichong coveted her. In the past, Yang Guang was in charge, and the old guy didn't dare to do anything. Now that Yang Guang is dead, the palace is deep, and there is no confidant, including his grandson. She was very worried when she was young and relied on Wang, Duan and others for everything...
So, she was hesitant, sad and reluctant to return to Luoyang, the eastern capital.
How did Xiao Meiniang know that Chai Daguan was already a habitual criminal when it came to entering the emperor's harem and stealing people? Even Li Yunqian couldn't deal with him, let alone the Luoyang Palace without Yang Guang.
"Who do you think I am?"
Chu Pingsheng suddenly turned his head to the side, and when he turned back, he had become a different person. There were wrinkles in his eyes, his eyes were cloudy, his cheeks were sunken and there was less flesh, and the corners of his mouth were slightly slender. Slanted, the nose is like garlic, and it no longer resembles the handsome young man like Zhilan Yushu and Xiao Shuxuan.
"You...you..."
"I am your brave general."
The face is old and unfamiliar, but the voice is clear It was her little man Chai Shao.
"Disguise?"
She was stunned for a moment, then slowly came to her senses, her eyes clear: "You...you know how to do this?"
Chu Pingsheng wiped his hand, and his appearance Instant recovery.
“Are you still worried that you won’t be able to see me often?” Chu Pingsheng said: “You will be your empress dowager during the day and my bedside person at night, not to mention...”
< br>He paused and then said: "Have you forgotten that with your current skills, as long as you practice the palm skills and Zhongchong Sword that I taught you before, you may not be able to defeat Rong Fengxiang, Dugu Feng, It’s no problem for people like You Niaojuan to fight Yu Wenhuaji for hundreds of rounds. Just imagine how many people in the Luoyang Palace are your opponents?”
"But..."
Xiao Meiniang looked at her hands. It was perfectly fine for her to smash the wooden pillar with one palm, but it was a bit difficult to slap someone on the head.
"Okay, don't be too stubborn..."
Chu Pingsheng was just about to persuade her to try to be bolder when he heard a loud shout from outside: "Get off the car, I'm calling you Get off the car.”
The driver didn’t wait for a reply, then he heard a thud and was pulled from the shaft of the car and fell to the ground.
"Who is in the car?"
"No...I don't know..."
"I don't know?"
Chu Pingsheng frowned, stood up and opened the door Cloth curtain, looking outside, I found that the carriage had arrived at the city gate, and the guards of Luoyang City were conducting an all-round search of the people entering the city. They had to look through the baggage, boxes, carriage, and even belts and robes. .
It is also understandable. After all, Li Mi has stepped up his attacks in recent days.
But the behavior of these guards was too rough, and he was very unhappy.
“Tell your leader, I am the son of Chai Shen, the Duke of Julu County, and the prince Qianniu is prepared to be Chai Shao.”
“I don’t care whose son you are, Lord Shangshu. There is an order, no matter what level of officials are entering or leaving Luoyang City, they must get off the vehicle and search them to make sure they are safe before letting them go." The guard handed the gun forward, with the tip of the gun less than three inches from Chu Pingsheng's chest: "Get out of the car." Sheng Sheng said calmly: "The people in the car are not the ones you should see."
"Stop talking nonsense, let's go..."
Halfway through the words, the guard saw a beam of cold light passing by, and the guard felt his world spin, and then he was shaken hard, and then heads fell to the ground one after another. They were all members of his team. More than a dozen guards, every one who met him was beheaded. Headed.
Chu Pingsheng glanced at You Niaojuan, who was dressed as a coachman: "You are good at acting. You should know Chai Mansion when driving into the city. Anyone who dares to block the road will be killed."
Leave him alone. With these words, he turned around and entered the carriage.
The coachman smiled arrogantly, turned over the shaft, slapped the maroon horse's butt, and the carriage ran over the bloody ground and drove towards the city.
It was only then that the people waiting for the security check understood what happened. They didn’t know how the dozen guards died, but this did not prevent the idea of escape from arising in their minds. Suddenly, chickens and dogs were jumping at the city gate. , chaos.
The sentry on the gate tower finally realized what was happening and shouted down: "Close the door, close the door quickly."
The soldiers on standby behind the city gate rushed out, and You Niaojuan was about to take action to stop those people. After closing the city gate, he didn't expect the curtain to flicker, and swish, swish, two sword auras burst out from the carriage that made him tremble with fear. The soldiers wearing leather armor on the left and right of the door were either split into two, or their limbs were missing. That cruel energy , it made him, a member of the Demon Sect, feel cold on his feet.
It is hard to imagine that when I saw the true face of the sect master for the first time, I was shocked that this handsome young master and a romantic scholar could kill people more neatly than him.
Cack-clack...
The bluestones rattled under the wheels. The carriage rushed through the city gate smoothly. Pedestrians on the street evaded, and the commotion spread to the inner city.
Chu Pingsheng put away the Zijin Zhanlu Sword and faced Xiao Meiniang's puzzled face.
"Wang Shichong has always wanted to know who is secretly helping the Chai family. Now it's time for him to get a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg. And..."
Chu Pingsheng held her hand and said: " I want everyone in Luoyang City to know that you, the Queen Mother, are back.”
“Are you planning to... kill the chicken to scare the monkey?”
“You can put it that way.”
Chu Pingsheng twisted his thumb, and the cold air spurted out, gathered into ice, and turned into a transparent lotus flower.
“My dad has been suffering from the embarrassment for more than a month. It’s time for him to feel proud.”
He put Binghua into the palm of the Sui Empress who had slept with him. .
Xiao Meiniang stared blankly at the crystal clear and pleasing ice lotus. It took her a while to wake up. She was about to say something, but when she heard the horseman shouting, the carriage was at the door of a mansion in the east of the city. Stop.
“Go and call your master and tell him that he is back.”
"Young Master?"
"Chai Shao."
"..."
"What are you doing standing there, go quickly."
Tap tap tap... …
The footsteps quickly faded away. It must be the servant guarding the door who went to report the incident.
At this moment, there was another burst of footsteps, which was heavier and duller than the chaos just now. It seemed that many people were running.
Xiao Meiniang opened a gap in the carriage curtain and saw a group of brightly armored infantrymen running quickly on the street, led by a general with a purple complexion and a tiger-like back.
At the end of the street, another group of infantry with the same configuration rushed towards them. The leader behind them was none other than Wang Shichong, the newly crowned Duke of Zheng by Yang Tong.
The two groups of people met at the gate of Chai Mansion and surrounded the carriage. Chai Shen also happened to lead Dong Cheng and several disciples with good martial arts skills and ran out. When he saw the formation in front of him, he was a little confused. I thought these people were here for me.
"Wang Shangshu, General Yuan, what's going on? Why did you lead your troops to besiege my mansion?"
Chu Pingsheng looked at the lightly-armed general on the horse through the gap in the curtain, thinking about the general named Yuan. ? It should be Yang Tong's newly appointed General Zuo Xiaowei, who was the capital of the Lu Kingdom.
Wang Shichong looked at Chai Shen condescendingly, with no intention of dismounting and speaking. He was now the Duke of Zheng, and even though Chai Shen had the official title, he was lower than him.
"Who are you in the carriage?"
Chai Shen said: "It should be Shaoer."
"Huh." Wang Shichong said: "That's right. Chai Shao ignored the ban and broke into the south gate and killed more than 20 guards. Why do you think I surrounded your mansion?"
Chai Shao forced his way through the south gate and killed more than 20 guards?
Chai Shen was stunned. He never expected that his son, whom he hadn’t seen for many days and thought he had an accident on the road, would give him a big treat as soon as he returned to Luoyang.
"Shaoer? Is this the case?"
After a while, Chu Pingsheng slowly opened the curtain of the carriage, revealing a pale face, looking at the horse Both Wang Shichong and Yuan Wen, who looked arrogant, said: "I caught wind and cold on the way to the west and are not feeling well. My two lords, please excuse me for getting out of the car and replying. As for the guards at the city gate... I think I killed them."
While he was speaking, someone came over not far away.
Most people would only dare to watch a scene like this from a distance and not dare to get close.
The master who dares to stand close and watch is certainly not an ordinary person.
Rong Fengxiang, president of the Luoyang Chamber of Commerce; Rong Fengxiang’s daughter, Luoyang Shuangyan Rong Jiaojiao; En, director of the Green Snake Gang; and another in her fifties with a enlarged nose and earlobes that reach her jawbone , an old man with a greasy face.
