Chapter 3 Cold Alley

As Xue Erlang said, the family banquet failed to be completed, so they had to go home alone.

In early spring, the days are still short and the night is long. After coming out of Princess Taiping’s Mansion in Zhenguo, the night has gradually opened.

Xue Chongxun rode a horse, and the guards and servants went home together. Some of the slaves held horse sticks, some carried lights, and the group walked south along the street.

Each poking lamp has the word "Xue" written on it, with a long handle connected to it. It is usually inserted on the base in front of the door, making it easy to bring lights when traveling.

Meeting Yuwen Ji today made Xue Chongxun think of one thing: it is necessary to take her fiancé, Feng Yuanjun, the young minister of Taichang Temple!

First, Xue Chongxun takes action to eliminate the slightest suspicion in his mother's heart, and he cannot have a close relationship with Gao Lishi; second, since Xue Chongxun was a Taichangqing conferred by Cute, he actually failed to control Taichang Temple. The executives and most of the power of Taichang Temple were actually controlled by Taichang Shaoqing Feng Yuanjun. It would be very beneficial to take him down and replace him with Princess Taiping or his own people.

Taichang, who is a member of the ancestral temple sacrifice, rituals, music and rituals, astronomical arts, clothing and hats.

In the Tang Dynasty, the influence of Taichang Temple on the power field was one of the following: the descendants of powerful officials' families had to become officials, and there was a way to act as deputys during the national sacrifice. After participating in such sacrifices, they could come out to be the palace guards or low-level civil officials, and then climb up through the power of the family.

Who is qualified to participate during the sacrifice will naturally be decided by Taichang Temple.

Therefore, seizing the power of Taichang Temple is very effective in cultivating party members.How can such a department be handed over to let the prince's men get involved?

Through historical knowledge in previous lives, Xue Chongxun became more aware of the dangers of being the eldest son of Princess Taiping, but there was no other way. He could only try to help his mother Princess Taiping. He could win one point and try to overcome the crisis...

Because the opponent is too big, the prince and perhaps the emperor, only the mother has the strength and identity to deal with him.

You cannot underestimate your opponent, not only the young prince, but also the emperor.

Li Dan was able to survive from the time of Wu Zetian to the present. How turbulent and dangerous the political situation during this period? He became emperor twice. How could he be without a clue?

Langjun, this ancient temple alley is too dark and deserted, and it is not very peaceful at night. Do we want to take a detour?A square-faced man in his entourage signaled the slave who led the horse to stop and reported to Xue Chongxun.

His name is Fang Yuzhong. Their family has been slaves of the Xue family in Hedong for generations. The slaves of the same family are called Lao Fang. They don’t speak much, but they are very skilled, so they are attracted by Xue Chongxun to be responsible for the security work.

After hearing this, Xue Chongxun said: This is in Chang'an City, what's wrong with peace?The cold air drops at night, so I want to go home early, so I don’t need to take a detour.

Since the master spoke, Fang Yuzhong didn't say much, but said to the guards around him: Pay attention.

So the team continued to move forward, and everyone didn't care. The husband was right. Those who dared to touch the Xue family in Chang'an City must have some background.

Pang Er, the slave who led the horse, said in a relaxed tone without looking back: Langjun, my wife said that Pei Niang is about the same age and will be sent to Langjun's room tonight.

Like Fang Yuzhong, Pang Er and Fang Yuzhong are both hereditary slaves of the Xue family. They are fat and fat. The catchphrase is that my wife said that her wife is not recommended by Xi Shi, but Xue Chongxun.

Not holding is the name of noodles. It is probably because noodles are cut into strips with a knife and then cooked without holding on to the palm of your hand to distinguish the thin slices of soup cakes that were pressed directly with your palms before.

Butuoxishi used to sell noodles. Because his husband's family was implicated and implicated, he became a slave. The Xue family bought it and rewarded Pang Er to commend him for his long-term loyalty.

Pei Niang is not the daughter of Xi Shi. She was brought from her ex-husband's house. She is about thirteen or fourteen years old this year. She used to be a maid for Xue Chongxun. She is almost the same age now, so Pang Er mentioned this.

But since Xue Chongxun got the memories of his previous life, many of his ideas have changed unconsciously. At this time, he felt that a little girl who was thirteen or teen years old was not suitable for serving men.

So he said: Tell Toshishi, don’t send Pei Niang over, and the thing he said before will be given up.

In the quiet night sky, a smell of braised pork floated from somewhere. Pang Er, who was leading the horse in front, immediately took a few sips, and his saliva was almost flowing down. He said in an almost affectionate tone: It's braised pork head meat.

Several people around him couldn't help laughing out loud. A thin man carrying a light poking light smiled and said: Fat, how about you pick up a knife and cut a piece of meat on your forehead to satisfy your cravings?

Pang Er said in surprise: I have nothing to do, why do you want to cut your own meat to eat?

The thin man said: Don’t you really want to eat pork head meat?Before Pang Er understood being teased, he still answered seriously: I want to eat pork head meat, but I don’t want to eat the meat on my forehead!

The thin man laughed and said: I was dazzled and thought it was the same thing.

Xue Chongxun was also amused and couldn't help but say: I think you two should go to the military drama.

After laughing with the slaves, Xue Chongxun's mood seemed to have improved, and the heavy weight that was pressing into his heart seemed to be lighter.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Fang Yuzhong suddenly shouted in a deep voice: The front is bright!

The guards around immediately pressed their weapons and responded: Be careful of Shuitang!

This is a code, which means reminding everyone that there is a situation.

Xue Chongxun also grabbed the reins and looked forward with a close eye. He saw a man in tight black clothes running towards this side.

stop!Fang Yuzhong heard a loud cry, and several guards raised their crossbows and pointed them at the man in black in front of them.

In an instant, fires lit up in front and behind the alley, and footsteps were rushing.

This situation became a little unfavorable, and Fang Yuzhong and the guards became nervous and uneasy. Brothers, protect your husband.

Xue Chongxun was also nervous, but he remained calm in front of his subordinates, and just said lightly: Stay calm first, these people may not be targeted at us.

Sure enough, after the man in black ran closer, he did not make an aggressive move, but instead knelt on the ground with a plop: My benefactor saves my life, I will be a cow and a horse for the rest of my life and let my benefactor send you!

She covered her face and couldn't see her face clearly, but she spoke in a woman's voice, which was hurrying and panicking.

Xue Chongxun glanced at the approaching firelight, thinking that those people must have come to catch this woman.

He asked in a deep voice: Have you violated the law?

The woman said: No, the one who pursues me is not the official.

very good.Xue Chongxun nodded, pondered for a moment, and then said: Come here, no one can hurt you, but I will find out your background.

Thank you for your kindness and great kindness!

The woman was overjoyed, got up from the ground, and walked towards Xue Chongxun.

At this time, Fang Yuzhong was very nervous and stared at her without blinking. However, Xue Chongxun seemed calm and still sat on the horse in a big way.

Hiding cleverness reveals clumsiness is his usual style. He looks careless, but in fact he is paying attention to the woman's shoulders in case she makes any unexpected moves.

Xue Chongxun is also a martial artsman, and it is not very possible for him to deal with him alone when there are many guards.

People in front and behind the alley quickly approached, all covered in masked people.

They stopped at a distance and saw that Xue Chongxun had many guards under him, and they must be someone with status, and they did not act rashly.

At this time, an old man said in a low voice: If it is not your business, please do it for convenience. The grudge between her and me will be broken down on our own.

Xue Chongxun smiled, patted the goldfish bag on his waist and said: Do you recognize this thing?In my Tang Dynasty, how dare you take people in front of the officials?Get out of here while I am in a good mood!

The other party did not dare to act rashly, but did not leave. The old man paused and said: This woman was a slave from my husband's family. She ran out of the house. Please ask Ming Gong to do something... After saying that, he took out two ingots of gold, which was a little bit of a concern, and he didn't respect him.

Unexpectedly, Xue Chongxun immediately raised his whip and pointed at the front angrily: Bold and unruly people, take it down for me!Those who dare to injure officials will be investigated strictly and will not be punished. The crime will be punished and the whole family will be executed!

Fang Yuzhong frowned. The guards of the followers were not in enough staff, so he mainly wanted to protect the safety of the Langjun, but the master's orders were not violated. He quickly arranged the staff and rushed out with his weapons.

The old man hurriedly said and retreated, and then both groups of people turned around and ran away.

When Xue Chongxun's guards saw that the person ran away, they did not dare to chase him far away. After doing it, they retreated and reported: Report to the husband, the thief ran too fast and did not catch up.

The woman saw that the man who chased her to the point of nowhere was scared away by this man's words. Her eyes were full of admiration and said hurriedly: Thank you for your kindness to save your life. If you have any use to me in the future, you just need to say goodbye to me and never give up.

At this time, Xue Chongxun felt much more relaxed, and then she noticed that her voice was a little hoarse and sounded strange.He let out a breath and said: The weather is so cold, let’s talk about it when you go back.

Xue Chongxun lived in Anyifang, next to Dongshi. When he passed through the archway at the gate of Anyi, it was completely dark, there was no moon or stars, and it was so cold.

He felt that the bones on his legs were frozen, and he suddenly remembered the room he built according to his memories of his previous life.

After entering Anyifang, don’t go back to the mansion, go to the Mengyunzhai.Xue Chongxun ordered.Wealth naturally has the benefits of wealth and can bring many pleasures that ordinary people cannot get.

Yes, husband.The person below responded.
