The prince is not doing his job [traveling]

Chapter 30

When they arrived at Qujiang, Xiao Yan and his party got off their horses and walked on foot. After dismounting, it was extremely difficult to move forward smoothly. With guards clearing the way, the crowds along the Qujiang River naturally couldn't stop the four of them from moving forward. But the officials who would come up to say hello and exchange some pleasantries from time to time became the biggest obstacle.

At first, Xiao Yanzhi was able to stand quietly by the side with a smile, but he was annoyed by the disturbance, so Xiao Yanzhi deliberately walked behind, and every time an official approached him, Xiao Yanzhi would retreat further Go behind so that people don't notice his existence.

The three of Pei Ze were too busy dealing with enthusiastic officials to pay attention to Xiao Yanzhi all the time.

Another group of officials surrounded him, Xiao Yanzhi looked around, and then walked into a viewing pavilion by the Qujiang River.

The pavilion was built on the water, supported by wooden piles driven into the bottom of the lake. Standing in the pavilion is like being on the water. Even the wind blowing by is a bit cooler than the wind on the shore.

Being refreshed by the cool wind, Xiao Yanzhi let out a long sigh of relief.

"Just now, so-and-so didn't pay attention. It turned out that His Majesty and such-and-such are fellow-workers."

An unfamiliar voice suddenly rang in his ears, still whispering softly that made people tremble all over. Xiao Yanzhi was startled, and his body moved unconsciously, throwing the stranger who suddenly appeared behind him into the lake.

There was only a "plop", and when Xiao Yanzhi reacted, the man had already fallen into the water, and Xiao Yanzhi didn't even see the other person's face clearly.

"Fengming!"

"Cousin!"

Cui Cheng and Qin Hao, who came with Qin Fengming, paled in shock, and rushed to the pavilion to look into the water.

Qin Fengming broke the water and came out, coughing non-stop due to choking.

Seeing that Qin Fengming was fine, Qin Hao turned to Xiao Yanzhi, squinted his eyes and roared angrily: "What do you mean? You are a prince! Why did you throw my cousin into the water?!"

Hearing this, Cui Cheng glanced at Xiao Yan, hesitated for a moment, still ignored Qin Hao, and only arranged for the accompanying guards to fish Qin Fengming out of the water.

Xiao Yanzhi raised his eyebrows and looked at Qin Hao in surprise.

He thought that in this city of Chang'an, everyone should respect the high-ranking person, no matter if they are sincere or sincere, everyone should be kind on the surface, but these two people from the Qin family were unexpected How arrogant, the thing that hit him on the head with a fan earlier could be regarded as an accident, but now knowing his identity and yelling at him, isn't it an accident?

Is it because the ignorant are fearless, young and frivolous, or is it intentional to bully others?If it's the former, then someone should remind Qin Tai to discipline his son and relatives, otherwise he will be implicated sooner or later, if it's the latter... that would be interesting.

Xiao Yanzhi curled his lips into a smile, and said: "Suddenly someone appeared behind me, I thought it was Xiaoxiao who came from somewhere, I'm being rude."

Qin Hao wanted to argue with Xiao Yanzhi again, but he saw that Qin Feng, who was pulled ashore, came over with a gloomy face, forced him in front of Xiao Yanzhi, raised his hand and punched violently on the pillar behind Xiao Yanzhi.

"You first destroyed my folding fan and then wet my clothes, how will you pay me?"

Xiao Yanzhi leaned his back against the sun-heated pillar, looked up at the arms above his head, and then at Qin Fengming who was close in front of him, suddenly lifted his foot and kicked Qin Fengming's abdomen fiercely.

"Hey, you!" Qin Fengming bounced off subconsciously, and then glared at Xiao Yanzhi viciously.

Xiao Yanzhi brushed off the water stains on his body, looked at Qin Fengming with a smile like a spring breeze, and said, "Sorry, I'm not used to getting close to people."

Seeing the smile on Xiao Yanzhi's face, Qin Fengming gritted his teeth and said, "If the eldest prince who entered the palace only after letting His Majesty know was overwhelmed by power and bullied others, what do you think His Majesty will think?"

Xiao Yanzhi said calmly: "If His Majesty knows that the young ministers of Honglu Temple have committed crimes, what do you think His Majesty will think?"

Qin Fengming sneered nonchalantly, stepped forward again, and said, "I'm going to commit a crime next time? Dare I ask what crime did I do? Did I ever insult the prince? Did I ever beat the prince? I just wanted to invite a few people today. Drinking together at the same table, a few of you caused XX to lose a folding fan and a set of fine brocade clothes, so XX came to ask for an explanation, how did you become the following offender?"

After hearing this, Xiao Yanzhi's eyes flickered.

Not to mention, Qin Fengming's provocation was just right. Although his attitude was extremely bad, he couldn't find any serious mistakes in his words and deeds. If he had to be said to be disrespectful, it would seem that these princes are too self-confident and big-hearted narrowed.

But he is not an orthodox prince like Xu Lishan or Xu Liqian.

So Xiao Yanzhi sneered, and said confidently: "Is it important what you did? I said today that you have committed the following offense and you have committed the following offense. Do you want evidence? I was hit by your folding fan. Now The brain is still hurting, I need an imperial doctor to see if it is broken somewhere?"

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yanzhi was so unreasonable, Qin Fengming stared in astonishment, and said in disbelief: "You, you spitting blood!"

"What can you do to me?" Xiao Yan twitched his chin with a proud expression on his face.

Xiao Yanzhi was thinking about what to say next to make Qin Fengming even more angry, but he saw Qin Fengming's body tilted, and he fell into the water without warning.

Xiao Yanzhi blinked blankly, and when he turned his head, he saw Pei Ze who was retracting his legs.

Pei Ze dusted off his boots, put down his feet, glanced at the stunned Cui Cheng and Qin Hao, turned to Xiao Yanzhi and said, "There are dragons and snakes mixed here, please be careful, Your Highness, and don't let thieves get close."

Xiao Yanzhi smiled brightly, nodded and said: "Thank you brother Yi for your suggestion. It was the first time I met a thief, and I was scared to death! Fortunately, brother Yi came to help, otherwise I really don't know what to do."

Hearing only Xiao Yanzhi and Pei Ze utter a single sentence, Qin Hao was trembling with anger: "You guys, you guys are too deceitful!"

Before Xiao Yanzhi and Pei Ze could open their mouths, Xu Liqian looked at Qin Hao and Cui Cheng in feigned surprise, and said, "Oh! Isn't this Mr. Qin and Yuanwailang? What a coincidence, we have met again. My lord Just now I saw a sly-eyed person approaching the eldest brother, I don’t know what he intends to do, you two can see clearly here? When we arrive at the Ministry of Punishment later, I will ask you two to testify.”

Cui Cheng felt that the situation was not good, and immediately said with a flattering smile: "You guys are joking, it was just a joke between Feng Ming and His Highness, Feng Ming didn't mean to offend, just a misunderstanding, just a misunderstanding."

"Misunderstanding?" Xu Lishan also said, "This king saw that he threatened the emperor first, and then wanted to beat the emperor. Is this a misunderstanding? Then this king will punch you now, and then say a misunderstanding. how?"

"This..." Cui Cheng lowered his head even lower, "A gentleman speaks but does not move, and the officials dare not let the king of Qi destroy his dignity."

"Haha," Xu Liqian laughed loudly, "That's a good point! If a gentleman doesn't move his mouth, let the villain in the water stay in the water for a while longer, and see if he can use this clear lake water to wash away his heart. Dirty! Go to the shore and watch over him, not allowing him to go ashore! Whoever dares to pull him up will be punished with the same crime!"

As soon as Xu Liqian finished speaking, the three accompanying guards got the instruction of their respective masters, and all ran to the shore, and drew out the weapons at their waists to point at Qin Fengming who was about to climb up the shore in the lake. He frightened back, a group of guards did not dare to let Qin Fengming's hand touch the river bank.

Cui Cheng's forehead began to sweat.

These three people are usually divided into two camps, why are they fighting against each other today?And didn't Xu Lishan always uphold the principle of being kind to others and not enmity?Why are you a little angry today?

Cui Cheng glanced at Xiao Yanzhi again, but at this moment Xiao Yanzhi was leaning on the pillar, smiling endlessly at Qin Fengming who was thumping about in the lake angrily.

"His Royal Highness, calm down," Cui Cheng turned to bow to Xiao Yanzhi, "Feng Ming just wanted to play a joke on His Highness, if His Highness is offended, as a good friend, I will apologize to you on behalf of Feng Ming, and you will be fined." Please don't care about it like him if you have a lot of adults."

"What Your Majesty?" Without waiting for Xiao Yanzhi to reply, Xu Liqian said in a cold voice, "Brother Dahuang was appointed King of Shu as soon as he entered the palace, do you really not know about this, or are you pretending not to know? kindness?"
