Jingzhao Yi Mansion, outside the court.
Li Shiming and Zhangsun Wuji were silent.
The six guards lowered their heads, cold sweat dripping from their foreheads.
If it wasn't for the fact that the occasion wasn't right, they would have knelt down long ago.
Too arrogant!
This was the first time they had encountered such arrogant commoners.
"The people of Chang 'an City…are quite forthright.”After a while, Li Shi Min laughed, his emotions complicated.
It was obvious that this was the first time he had experienced something like this in the first half of his life.
Zhangsun Wuji looked at the surrounding commoners blocking their way and narrowed his eyes.
"Something is wrong." Zhangsun Wuji whispered.
"Hmm?" Li Shi Min was stunned. He looked at the crowd in front of him again. After a moment, his pupils constricted.
"Veteran!"
Li Shi Min thought.
He had joined the army at a young age and was good at riding and shooting. He had led his men to fight for the empire of the Great Tang, so he was very familiar with the characteristics of veterans.
"Did His Majesty mention it to anyone else when he left the palace?”
Zhangsun Wuji quietly moved and stood in front of Li Shimin.
Li Shi Min shook his head and said in a low voice," It shouldn't be directed at me. They looked at me coldly just now. There was no killing intent."”
In the first half of his life, he had experienced too many battles on the battlefield and encountered countless assassinations. He had long developed a pair of eyes that could recognize danger.
The reason why he didn't notice the problem was because those people didn't show any killing intent towards him.
"Then…should we leave this place first?" Zhangsun Wuji frowned. If Li Shiming was in danger here, he couldn't bear the responsibility.
Li Shi Min looked at the crowd of people in front of him again. He remembered that his two sons were still inside and became worried.
"They probably don't know my identity and secretly mobilized the secret guards. I want to see which side they are from.”
Li Shi Min's eyes turned cold.
Zhangsun Wuji nodded slightly and slowly retreated to the side.
Under the protection of the six guards, Li Shi Min moved forward, trying to get closer.
"Make way, let me go up and take a look. I haven't seen the Crown Prince yet.”Li Shimin rushed forward exaggeratedly, imitating Cheng Yaojin's tone.
The six guards beside him were guarding Li Shi Min tightly as if they were facing a great enemy. They all looked at everyone coldly.
"Don't push!"
More than ten people turned around and looked at Li Shi Min and the others coldly.
Li Shi Min smiled awkwardly and nodded,"Alright, alright, I won't squeeze.”
Not long after, Zhangsun Wuji returned and nodded at Li Shiming.
Li Shi Min heaved a sigh of relief and relaxed. He raised his head and looked in the direction of the court. He could vaguely see Li Tai's round body.
"Young Master Kong Yan has arrived!"
After a while, a bailiff shouted.
"Kong Yan!" Li Shi Min and Zhangsun Wu Ji looked at each other and turned to the side of the street.
A tall and straight young man dressed in light blue clothes slowly walked over with a faint smile on his face.
"This kid is worthy of the word handsome.”Li Shi Min nodded as he recalled Kong Ying Da's description of Kong Yan.
He had delicate features and was very handsome!
Kong Yan was led by the bailiffs to the main gate of the court.
The people who were blocking Li Shiming from making way automatically made way for him.
Their faces were no longer cold, but respectful.
His body was even slightly lowered, as if he was facing someone he respected.
This phenomenon was naturally noticed by Li Er and Zhangsun Wuji at the first moment.
The two of them looked at each other and guessed a possibility at the same time.
" It's his people?!" Li Shi Min's face twitched.
"It should be."
Zhangsun Wuji sighed.
"Who is this kid guarding against?" Li Shi Min sneered.”
Zhangsun Wuji glanced at him but did not say anything.
"Follow them." Li Shiming snorted and wanted to follow Kong Yan to the front.
"Hmm?"
Just as he took a step forward, he felt his hair stand on end, as if he was surrounded by a pack of hungry wolves.
Zhangsun Wuji coughed and whispered,""Why don't we forget about it?"
The crowd who had been extremely respectful to Kong Yan earlier revealed a cold gaze once again. This time, there was a faint dangerous aura in their eyes.
"Humph!" Li Shi Min's face darkened, but he didn't stop. His body emitted an indescribable majesty.
Zhangsun Wuji braced himself and followed behind Li Shiming. The six guards behind him were also on guard.
After Kong Yan walked past the crowd, he looked back.
"Young Master Kong is so handsome. As expected of a dragon among men.”
"One look and you can tell that it was His Highness the Yue King who framed Young Master Kong. Young Master Kong, don't be afraid, we support you!”
"A stranger is like jade, a young master is unparalleled in the world. He was talking about Young Master Kong. Young Master Kong was much better looking than the Crown Prince.”
“……”
When Kong Yan turned around to look, the onlookers who had been extremely cold to Li Shiming just now became happy. Praise came from all directions.
Li Shi Min's face was dark. If he still couldn't tell who these people were, then he wouldn't be Li Shi Min!
Kong Yan's eyelids twitched violently. He knew that there must be his secret guards among the crowd of onlookers, but he did not expect it to be so exaggerated.
"Hmm…these people?" Noticing the few people closest to him, Kong Yan raised his eyebrows slightly.
"He's not my man, and he doesn't look like a commoner. With such a dark face, he should be the manager of another restaurant.”
Kong Yan made a reasonable guess. In other industries, what he did was basically impossible for others to do. As for the restaurant business, if he could do it, others could do it too. Naturally, there were many restaurant owners who couldn't stand it and often secretly drew some little people for Kong Yan.
Now that Wild Goose Falling Pavilion was in trouble, the other restaurants were probably the happiest.
Thinking that since they were in the same profession, there should be no danger, Kong Yan politely nodded and reminded the secret guards not to meddle. After that, he ignored them and turned to walk to the center of the court.
"What does this kid mean by nodding?" Li Shi Min was confused.
Zhangsun Wuji was also very confused. He was sure that he had never seen Kong Yan before, and he didn't seem to recognize him and Li Shiming.
What they didn't realize was that the people who had been tightly surrounding them had relaxed their encirclement.
"This commoner Kong Yan greets Lord Jing Zhaoyi.”
In the court, Kong Yanlue cupped his hands and bowed to Li Hongbin. He glanced at Crown Prince Li Chengqian and King of Yue Li Tai from the corner of his eye and ignored them.
"The descendants of Confucius are indeed very elegant.”Before Li Hongbin could respond, Li Tai spoke with a smile.
"Hehe, yes, Your Highness is right.”Li Hongbin agreed.
"What descendant of Confucius? Does Green Sparrow not know that he has long been expelled from Confucius Sect?”
Li Chengqian sneered and said indifferently.
Li Hongbin smiled awkwardly and wiped his forehead.
He was stuck in the middle and had to suffer.
"May I know who these two lords are?" Kong Yan asked.
Li Chengqian and Li Tai's expressions froze at the same time.
The news of their arrival had already spread through the streets and alleys.
Li Hongbin's eyelids twitched and he quickly introduced,""This is His Highness the Crown Prince, and this is His Highness the King of Yue.”
"Oh, I am Kong Yan. Greetings, Your Highnesses.”Kong Yan cupped his hands again.
Li Tai's small eyes narrowed, and a playful smile appeared on his lips.
Li Chengqian's expression was very gloomy. Although he was also Li Shimin's son, as the Crown Prince, his status was higher than the King of Yue. How could he address the King of Yue as His Highness?
" Why didn't you kneel when you saw me?!" Li Chengqian asked coldly.
Li Tai smiled without saying anything.
