A few days later.
Chang 'an, Great Tang.
Is this Chang 'an?"
Li Yuanjing looked up at the towering city wall, his face full of emotion.
Although there were also scenes of Chang 'an in his memory, it was not as shocking as seeing the majestic city wall of Chang' an in person!
Chang 'an Fortress was not like the outside world. Li Yuanjing could not lead his 1,000 tiger and leopard cavalry into Chang' an Fortress.
If Li Yuanjing really dared to do this, then Li Shiming would be the first to not let him go.
As a person who ascended the throne through a coup, Li Shimin was very sensitive to the movements and changes of any soldiers in Chang 'an.
Therefore, Li Yuanjing only brought Niu Dahu's 20 personal guards and 30 Tiger Leopard Cavalry soldiers. The remaining 900 or so were all settled in his own manor outside Chang 'an City.
As they approached the city gate, Li Yuanjing and his group slowed down.
The city gate gradually became lively.
There were many commoners coming and going.
Li Yuanjing was about to pass through the city gate when he was suddenly stopped by a few soldiers guarding the city gate.
"Stop!"
The leading soldier swaggered over and stretched out his hand to block the path of Li Yuanjing's group.
"How dare you!"
Niu Dahu was furious." How dare you! Do you know…"
"Big Tiger."
Li Yuanjing called Niu Dahu back and stared playfully at the soldier who blocked his way.
There was obviously something wrong with this soldier!
As long as one had a bit of eyesight, after seeing Li Yuanjing's armored team with swords and sabers, the correct reaction would be to immediately avoid them.
How could someone who could lead troops into Chang 'an City so unscrupulously be someone to be trifled with?
This soldier could be sent to the city gate to guard, and he was even a small commander. How could he not have any judgment?
Therefore, this soldier was deliberately looking for trouble!
The reason why Li Yuanjing called Niu Dahu back was to see which force was trying to trip him up. He also wanted to use this soldier to make an example of this incident and announce his arrival to the entire Chang 'an.
"Tell me, what do you want?"
Li Yuanjing sat on the horse's back and stared at the soldier in front of him playfully.
" Nothing much. I just feel that you are suspicious. I suspect that you may be spies of the Turks and want to enter Chang 'an to gather intelligence. Now, immediately, I give you ten breaths to dismount and be examined!"”
The soldier and Li Yuanjing looked at each other, their eyes flickering as they said,"But don't worry, the inspection won't take up too much of your time. At most, it will take an incense stick's time!”
"Dismount and search?"
Li Yuanjing stared at the soldier and asked.
The soldier nodded seriously and looked at Li Yuanjing with a hint of playfulness.
"Da! Da! Da!"
Li Yuanjing suddenly rode his horse and slowly approached the soldier.
"Sigh, forget it. I won't play with you guys anymore!”
Li Yuanjing originally wanted to play with this soldier and the mastermind who instigated this soldier to come out and target him. However, after he inadvertently glanced at the playful gazes from all directions, Li Yuanjing gave up on this plan.
There was no doubt that there were spies from the various factions of the Great Tang in the crowd.
Since Li Yuanjing wanted to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys, to use this matter to forcefully announce his arrival to the Great Tang, he could not delay. He had to be quick!
Cut the Gordian knot.
Who was Li Yuanjing?
As a King Wu and a noble lord, if he couldn't even deal with a soldier guarding the city gate, or if it took him more than half a day to deal with him, all the forces in Chang 'an would think that he was easy to bully.
"Kill them!"
As soon as Li Yuanjing finished speaking, Niu Dahu, who was already extremely angry, pulled out the scimitar at his waist. Under the incredulous gazes of the soldier and the surrounding people, the scimitar swung down and his head fell to the ground.
"Enter the city!"
Li Yuanjing waved his hand, and fifty riders entered Chang 'an!
It was not until Li Yuanjing and the others disappeared into Chang 'an City that the crowd at the city gate came back to their senses.
" Murder, murder!?"
"Just kill him like that?"
The spies from all sides stared at each other in bewilderment. No one had expected Li Yuanjing to be so unscrupulous.
This was not the border!
This was Chang 'an Fortress, under the feet of the emperor!
"Damn it, damn it, how dare you oppose Cui Clan? You will regret it!”
In the crowd, a young master around 18 or 19 years old clenched his fists tightly as he stared at the head on the ground. His face was filled with anger.
Li Yuanjing was fine. After killing the person, he patted his butt and returned to his own residence as if nothing had happened.
However!
As the scouts at the city gate reported what had happened at the city gate, hualala!
The entire Chang 'an Fortress was shaken.
"Hmph, what Martial King? He's just a hothead. He dares to kill people under the feet of the emperor. Does he really think that his battle achievements are unparalleled? Cui Shibo, that old man, would not let him off so easily!”Somewhere in Chang 'an, a middle-aged man sneered.
"Martial King, are you a hothead or do you have other plans in mind? You killed so decisively." In a mansion, an old man's eyes flickered.
"Is Your Highness the Martial King trying to make an example out of others?”In another mansion, the silver-haired old man raised his head and muttered.
"Now it's up to the Cui family and the emperor to deal with it!”An old man narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction of the Imperial Palace, deep in thought.
Cui family.
"Good opportunity!"
Cui Shibo's face was ferocious." How dare King Wu kill people at the city gate and barge into the checkpoint? He's lawless and rebellious. Men, prepare the horses. I'm going to find His Majesty and sue King Wu for treason!"”
Imperial City, Imperial Study.
After hearing what had happened at the city gate from the old eunuch, Li Shiming's eyes flickered. He was silent for a few seconds before he said,"Pass down my order. Martial King Yuanjing is tyrannical and lawless. He even attacked people on the streets. Considering that this is his first offense and that he has been away from home for many days and is eager to return, he will be grounded for one day.”
