Her Highness Doesn’t Want to Work Hard Anymore

The road from the city gate to the palace gate has long been martial law.

The long streets are empty, not a single pedestrian can be seen.

Both sides of the street are full of soldiers waiting in battle.

On the silent street, only the sound of horseshoes echoed.

They clearly outnumbered the Regent by far, but none of them dared to act rashly.

They showed fierce expressions on their faces, but they were deeply afraid of the man on horseback in their hearts.

In the teahouse not far away, there was a man standing by the window of the private room on the third floor, quietly watching this scene.

That person is the little prince of Xiliang Kingdom, Ah Qi.

He has changed into Da Zhou's costume, but his hair still maintains the Xiliang style. Coupled with his exotic face with high nose and deep eyes, he has a very strange and mysterious aura.

Behind him stood a tall and strong Xiliang general.

The general also saw the scene of the regent entering the city, and said in a rough voice.

"The courage of this group of people is too small. They are all sent to the door, and they dare not do anything."

Ah Qi said slowly: "Since they dare not do anything, let's help them and give me the bow and arrow."

Hearing this, the general immediately became excited.

He took out a bow and arrow and presented it to the little prince with both hands.

Ah Qi fully drew the bowstring, aiming the arrow at the man on horseback.

After a moment, gently release your fingers.

The arrow shot out, and flew far away with a whoosh.

The general thought the arrow was heading towards the regent, but the arrow was slightly off.

It hit the horse's leg.

The horse neighed in pain, bent its front legs, and fell straight to the side.

This sudden change frightened everyone present, and the nerves of the soldiers, who were already extremely nervous, were pulled hard. They thought it was a signal that the regent was going to attack, and they panicked immediately. Jump over!

Li Ji's reaction was extremely fast.

He had already let go of the reins when he heard the sound of arrows shooting through the air.

Before the horse fell down, he soared into the air and flew into the air, just avoiding the blades that the soldiers were chopping.

After some tossing and turning, he stepped on the shoulders of the rushing soldiers with his toes, jumped up again with his strength, and flew up to the eaves next to him.

Li Ji turned around and looked straight in the direction of the arrow.

Just happened to meet Ah Qi who was standing by the window.

Li Ji picked up a tile with his toes, reached out to catch it, and threw it forward forcefully.

The tiles shot out quickly, spinning continuously in mid-air, and flew straight towards Ah Qi!

Ah Qi closed the window and dodged sideways at the same time.

The tiles smashed through the window, brushed against the tip of Ah Qi's nose, flew over, and nailed hard into the wall.

The military commander gasped.

What a strength!

He couldn't help looking at the little prince. If the little prince hadn't been able to hide quickly just now, his head might have been pierced by the tiles.

Ah Qi naturally also thought of this, and his face was not very good-looking.

This Prince Regent was even more difficult to deal with than he expected.

Everyone has a strong mentality, especially those who practice martial arts.

The general had a new understanding of the strength of the regent, and he couldn't help but feel admiration for the strong.

He couldn't help asking: "The Xuanjia Army led by the Regent has already gained the absolute upper hand. As long as he gives an order, he can break into the city. Why did he enter Tianjing alone? Isn't he just looking for death? Well!"

Ah Qi casually placed the bow and arrow on the table, and there was no ups and downs in his voice.

"Probably because he has something to be held by the Emperor of Zhou."

The military commander became more and more curious: "What could be the reason to make the regent give up his easy-to-get state and take the initiative to send sheep to the tiger's mouth?"

A Qi could not answer this question.

The military commander quickly dismissed the idea of ​​gossip and asked about business.

"Now that there is civil strife in Dazhou, the border must relax its vigilance. This is a good opportunity for us. Shall we..."

He didn't finish his words, but the meaning was already obvious.

It is no longer a matter of a day or two for Xiliang to be greedy for the fertile soil of Dazhou.

In the past few years, because of the regent's pressure, they dare not act recklessly. Now that they finally have an opportunity, they can't give up.

Ah Qi said in a low voice: "I have asked people to quietly pass the news back to Xiliang. Presumably, the emperor has ordered people to start preparations. After I find what I want, we will leave Tianjing immediately and return to Xiliang. Beam."

The general knew what the little prince was looking for, he frowned and said distressedly.

"We have already searched the Prince Regent's mansion, not to mention the body of the Princess Regent, we haven't even seen her tablet. Could it be that the Prince Regent hid her somewhere else?"

Ah Qi's tone was very firm: "The man must be hiding in the Prince Regent's Palace."

Changing places, if he was the regent, he would definitely not be willing to put the body of his beloved elsewhere, and he must put it under his nose to be at ease.

He said in a deep voice: "Let's go, and look for it at the Prince Regent's Mansion."

The general strode to keep up.

...

After the soldiers below regained their composure, Li Ji just jumped off the roof and landed firmly on the ground.

He looked at the embarrassed Hua Dingzong, and said lightly.

"Let's go."

Li Ji ran so fast just now, those soldiers didn't even touch a piece of his clothes, they just cried Hua Dingzong, he was thrown to the ground by those soldiers swarming up, he was frightened out of his wits, almost peed his pants.

Even now that he has been let go by the soldiers, he is still in shock.

Like a frightened bird, Hua Dingzong looked at the horse lying on the ground, and asked cautiously.

"Who shot that arrow just now?"

Li Ji had no intention of covering up for Ah Qi, and said bluntly, "From Xiliang."

Hua Dingzong immediately gave orders to those soldiers.

"Aren't you going to arrest that Xiliang man who dared to assassinate the regent?!"

But the soldiers were all motionless.

Their task is to keep an eye on the regent, and other things have nothing to do with them.

Seeing this, Hua Dingzong couldn't hold back his face, and was very angry in his heart, but he didn't dare to argue with these soldiers, so he could only leave with the regent in aggrieved manner.

Without a horse, the two had no choice but to walk.

When they came near the palace gate, Hua Dingzong couldn't help but persuade him.

"When you meet the saint, you must be more respectful. Don't confront the saint. The saint is only a half-grown child. As long as you are willing to lower your figure and take the initiative to admit your mistakes and coax him well, he should be able to Raise your hand and spare your life."

Li Ji glanced at him with a half-smile.

Hua Dingzong was so annoyed by his look, he argued fiercely.

"You don't need to look at me like that! I'm not promising, but you are Manman's husband anyway, barely half my son, I don't want to watch you go to die."

Li Ji: "In this case, why do you still act as Li Qiong's lobbyist?"

Hua Dingzong had a bitter face.

"Do you think I really want to be this lobbyist? I have no other choice. Disobeying the imperial decree is a serious crime. Even if I don't think about myself, I still have to take care of the more than two hundred people in Zhong'anbo's house."

Li Ji didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly smiled at him, speaking meaningfully.

"Since you and I are a family, if I encounter any trouble later, I hope my father-in-law can lend a helping hand and help my son-in-law."

Hua Dingzong enjoyed the compliment from his son-in-law for the first time, and he couldn't help feeling a little elated.

"Haha, it's easy to say!"
