Chapter 7: Saving People

"Have the Embroidered Uniform Guard killed their way in?"

Prince Fu asked with excitement.

He is ultimately a teenager; although he was tough just now, after the enemy killed his way to the door, he still couldn't avoid panic.

"Your Highness, the sound seems to be that of the young master of the Zhenyuan Marquis's mansion.

Just now he refused your invitation and directly led his retainers to hold the fort downstairs; I didn't expect him to be able to persist until now."

The middle-aged eunuch's answer made Prince Fu very disappointed.

There are not many people in the Zhenyuan Marquis's mansion, and listening to the sound, the battle downstairs is still scorching; joining in is also difficult to reverse the predicament immediately.

However, people came to save his life, so he was embarrassed to say something that would spoil the scenery.

The sound of fighting got closer and closer, a guard fell at the door, and blood flowed into the room.

Seeing this scene, Prince Fu could no longer care about his image and let the eunuch push him to hide under the table.

His heart was not yet settled when a flying head rolled to his feet.

Making eye contact with the expression of death without closing his eyes, Prince Fu couldn't help but let out a scream.

In the panic, his head had an intimate contact with the table, making him very embarrassed.

I don't know if it was intentional, but the middle-aged eunuch on the side also accidentally bumped into the table when he stepped forward to check, directly falling into a dog-eating-shit.

With the more unlucky eunuch as a foil, Prince Fu, who was originally unhappy, suddenly had a comfort in his heart.

With the addition of fresh troops, the gray-clothed men who were attacked from front and back instantly lost their morale and were soon forced to the left corridor.

After confirming that Prince Fu was not in danger, Li Mu was no longer in a hurry to charge, but instead led people to entangle with the enemy slowly.

It is not easy to train retainers, and the credit for saving the emperor is in hand, so there is no need to work hard.

When the Embroidered Uniform Guard outside kill their way in, they will naturally be responsible for the aftermath.

Essentially, this kind of thing is to highlight loyalty, as for ability, it is secondary.

It is enough for noble children to show a certain ability to be promoted step by step; if they show they are too capable, it is easy to invite disaster.

"Your Highness, you can come out.

The old slave just glanced at the door, the enemy has been forced to the east, and the guards are joining forces with the Hou Fu's people to besiege.

It looks like it won't be long before the enemy can be completely wiped out!"

Hearing the middle-aged eunuch's words, Prince Fu was happy.

Walking through the ghost gate, he knew the preciousness of life.

Although it was a bit dangerous, today's pretense was worth it.

It is estimated that it won't be long before the story of him being calm in the face of danger and commanding his men to kill Hu spies will spread throughout the capital.

On the imperial brother's side, there will definitely be rewards.

Of course, he doesn't care about a few rewards, but the title of a virtuous prince is still very attractive.

People, after all, have to have some pursuits.

"Prince Fu, where is he?"

The rough voice sounded, indicating that the battle was coming to an end.

Led by Commander Zhou, a large group of Embroidered Uniform Guard swarmed in, just in time to see Prince Fu crawling out from under the table.

The atmosphere in the room instantly solidified, and the scene was very awkward.

"What are you all standing there for, hurry and go arrest the Hu spies!"

The middle-aged eunuch on the side helped to resolve the siege.

The crowd of Embroidered Uniform Guard hurriedly exited from the room and joined the siege of the gray-clothed men.

Reinforcements increased again, the battle soon came to an end, but the situation was very tragic.

Twelve Prince's Mansion guards died seven and were seriously injured three, with only two still able to stand.

The five retainers Li Mu brought were also all wounded.

However, the blood was wiped from the enemies downstairs; it just looked serious, but in fact, they didn't suffer any injuries.

On the contrary, Fubao, who was just a bystander, was unfortunately cut, becoming the only wounded person in the Marquis's mansion camp.

After counting the casualties, Commander Zhou, who directed this battle, felt his heart go cold.

The Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion is easy to talk about; anyway, no one died, and finding the superior to come forward to negotiate is nothing more than an exchange of interests.

The Prince's Mansion is troublesome; the guards are all registered imperial officials, and some people's ranks are even higher than his.

Seven people died at once, which must be reported to the imperial court.

"Prince Fu, today's matter..."

Before Commander Zhou could explain, Prince Fu interrupted:

"Don't talk nonsense, hurry and send someone to find a royal physician to rescue the wounded!"

As a vassal king of the Great Dayu Dynasty, he, Ji Ji Zhao Shun, neither bullies men nor women, nor does he rob, he is a model of a vassal king.

Coming out to drink tea and listen to music to relieve boredom, he could encounter such a disaster.

The responsibility does not lie with him, this five-good vassal king, so it must be the Embroidered Uniform Guard's pot.

If it weren't for this group of guys driving the enemy into the teahouse, there wouldn't be today's matter, and his guards wouldn't have to die.

Almost causing him to lose his life, wanting to reveal the matter, the Embroidered Uniform Guard Commander personally coming to apologize is almost enough.

A mere commander, he, Ji Ji Zhao Shun, doesn't take it to heart.

"Hanzhong Guard Candidate Commander Li Mu, greets Prince Fu!"

Li Mu stepped forward and bowed.

"As expected of a noble background, didn't disgrace the ancestors!"

Prince Fu nodded slightly.

The completely different attitudes before and after directly indicated his stance.

He didn't continue to show favor, because the Great Dayu Law stipulates: vassal kings are forbidden to associate with military generals.

"Your Highness, there is nothing for me here, the end general will retire first!"

After speaking, Li Mu turned and left directly, never mentioning the matter just now.

Commander Zhou on the side wanted to open his mouth to keep him, but swallowed the words back to his mouth.

Today's matter is full of too many coincidences, and there are many mysteries that have not been solved; according to the rules of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, everyone on the scene must be reviewed.

It's just that the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion is not a soft persimmon, not to mention that Li Mu just took action to save Prince Fu.

Taking people back for interrogation at this time is to offend two giants at the same time.

Anyway, the arrest operation was decided by the superior temporarily, and the war fire being led to the teahouse was also an accident; there was no possibility of artificial planning.

Candidate military generals are also military generals, and carrying several retainers who can fight beside them is completely reasonable.

Even if there are several corpses downstairs with special death methods, more like the fighting method of local ruffians, that is just a side branch.

Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion.

"Madam, something bad, Young Master Mu is back!"

The maid's words, which cut off the head and tail, made the Marquis's wife look confused, and she scolded immediately.

"Xiao Cui, what are you talking about!

Mu'er is back, why is it bad?"

This kind of thing cannot be indulged; if it spreads out, people will think she is not good at governing the family.

"Madam, Young Master Mu and the others are covered in blood, looking very scary.

Fubao was carried back and seems to have suffered a not-so-light injury."

Xiao Cui's explanation made the Marquis's wife stunned.

Although noble children fighting is not a big deal, Li Mu's performance today is different from what her master said.

"Ask the physician to check Fubao's injuries, and by the way, ask what happened.

Order the servants in the Fu not to spread rumors, and wait until the Marquis comes back!"

Ultimately, she had seen big scenes, and the Marquis's wife did not make a conclusion without authorization.
