My father, Li Shimin, please call me Crown Prince

Chapter 60 The Prince Arrives
"waste!"

Chen Yunchao casually knocked a constable to the ground, and when he heard Lu Yizhong's voice, he turned around and cursed.

If Lu Yizhong didn't speak up, the Jinwu Guards would most likely stand idly by.

By the time he reacted, he had already captured the person.

As long as you get the person, you don’t have to worry about others snatching him away.

Now that Lu Yizhong shouted, the Jinwu Guards over there could no longer sit still.

Lu Tong's face was gloomy, he thought so too.

But now I am forced to participate.

"General Chen, I'm sorry."

"Golden Guards, obey orders, protect the government office."

Lu Tong is also a smart man. He was born in a humble family and is not from a famous family. He has achieved his current status through hard work, and he does not want to be a scapegoat.

So I first greeted Chen Yunchao and told him that I had no choice but to do so.

The order given was not to attack, but the ambiguous order to protect the government office.

However, with the joining of the Jinwu Guards, the Eastern Palace guards were obviously blocked.

Without war horses and weapons, the number of Jinwu Guards is several times that of the Eastern Palace Guards.

Even if the Jinwu Guards were paddling, it would not be easy to rush over.

Seeing this, Chen Yunchao didn't care and rushed in with a few trusted guards.

As long as he could rush into the government prison and bring Helan Chushi out, he would be successful.

Lu Tong sensed Chen Yunchao's intention and his eyes immediately lit up.

Then he winked at the General of Central Army next to him.

The General immediately understood, and after whispering a few words to a few people, he was about to go and cover Chen Yunchao.

With the joining of the Jinwu Guards, Lu Yizhong had been rescued by the brigade. Seeing this scene, he shouted loudly: "Li Yun, Zhang Hu, you guys are still not making a move. Are you waiting for me to punish you?"

Wannian County, which governs half of Chang'an City, still has a few good detectives.

After all, Chang'an City is so big, with so many gangsters and foreigners, and without a few good fighters, how can one keep the situation under control?

Hearing Lu Yizhong's call, Li Yun, Zhang Hu and others who were slacking off among the group of detectives had no choice but to step forward and hold Chen Yunchao back.

These people have been practicing martial arts since childhood and have good talents. However, they are definitely not as good as generals like Chen Yunchao in terms of riding and archery. If they face off head-on, they will not be able to stop a charge led by Chen Yunchao's cavalry.

But they have all the skills in their hands and are specialized in hand-to-hand combat, and are no worse than Chen Yunchao.

After they came up, they fought back and forth with Chen Yunchao. Although they were afraid of Chen Yunchao's identity and did not dare to use heavy hands, Chen Yunchao was unable to break through for a while and was entangled.

The situation is developing in a bad direction, and Chen Yunchao only has a hundred people here.

The Jinwu Guards and the detectives now number over a thousand people.

With a ten-fold difference in numbers and a hand-to-hand fight, even if the Jinwu Guards and the detectives tried their best to slack off, they could not make a quick breakthrough and the situation became a stalemate.

It won't be long before the guards of the Eastern Palace run out of energy and have no chance.

Chen Yunchao was extremely anxious and his attacks became more and more fierce.

Li Yun and Zhang Hu could only try their best to stop him and drag him back by force. After being hit so many times, they became angry and hit him harder.

Two fists are no match for four hands, especially in such close combat.

Faced with the combined attack of the two, Chen Yunchao was actually beaten back two steps.

This time, the situation is no longer stable.

But Chen Yunchao didn't call for a stop, so everyone had to continue fighting.

But unfortunately, after an incense stick of time, the guards of the Eastern Palace were exhausted and Chen Yunchao also stopped where he was, gasping for breath.

The situation became clear, and Lu Yizhong stood up, looking smug, and scolded: "Chen Yunchao, you are the leader of the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, but you disregarded the laws of the Tang Dynasty and led people to attack the government office. Why don't you retreat quickly?"

"Do you want me to put you all in jail?"

Lu Yizhong actually wanted to put Chen Yunchao and others in jail, but if he did so, the Jinwu Guards would definitely not help him and would even interfere.

The most important thing is that they have already captured one of the prince's confidants, and now they have captured another one, so the matter has become a big deal.

The Five Surnames and Seven Famous Clan, even a commoner, can look down upon the nobles. But this does not include the crown prince.

If the prince did something wrong and someone tried to get rid of him, his status as a direct descendant of the Fanyang Lu family would not be of any use, and it was estimated that the King of Wei would not be able to protect him either.

Lu Yizhong stopped while he was ahead and also completed the King of Wei's instructions.

With such achievements, the King of Wei will surely promote him vigorously, and his rank will definitely be able to move up a lot by then.

Thinking of this, Lu Yizhong felt a sense of triumph.

Moreover, he will confront the guards of the Eastern Palace head-on. When the news spreads tomorrow, his reputation as Lu Yizhong who is not afraid of power and upholds the law will spread throughout Chang'an City.

You have gained both the benefits and the fame. What could be more gratifying than this?

In his joy, Lu Yizhong said to Lu Tong who had been watching the show beside him: "I have received General Lu's help today. I will definitely report it to the King of Wei, and General Lu will definitely give me a reward then."

Hearing this, Lu Tong immediately laughed and said, "This is all my duty as a general. I dare not ask for a reward from the King of Wei."

He was not stupid. He had heard from the general the day before yesterday that General Su Dingfang of the Left Jinwu Guard was the prince's man, and it was the prince who asked Your Majesty to transfer him from the Left Guard to the Jinwu Guard.

The prince offered his hand to the Jinwu Guards, and His Majesty actually agreed.

Perhaps in the future the Jinwu Guards may have to obey the orders of the Crown Prince.

But he had to encounter this kind of thing again, how unlucky he was.

If Lu Yizhong went to ask King Wei for a reward, the prince would probably take action against him.

From being a soldier in the palace, Lu Tong fought bravely and accumulated military merits, and was finally promoted to the rank of General of the Jinwu Guard. He really didn't want to be involved in this quagmire.

On the other side, Chen Yunchao was panting, his eyes were red, and his whole body was exhausted. It was impossible for him to complete His Highness's instructions.

"General, what should we do?"

The guard next to him asked in a low voice.

Chen Yunchao thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "We can't retreat. We have to drag it out."

"As time goes on, the prince will surely notice it."

Chen Yunchao chose to maintain a stalemate and delay time.

It would be better to stay here than to go back to the East Palace like a stray dog.

Failure of a mission and poor performance are two different things.

Seeing that Chen Yunchao did not move, the complacent Lu Yizhong was about to make a sarcastic remark, but suddenly he remembered the reason.

In order to prevent any further mishaps, he quickly shouted, "Chen Yunchao, things have come to this point, why don't you retreat quickly?"

"I will give you twenty seconds. If you still refuse to change your ways, don't blame me for disrespecting the Crown Prince and putting you in jail."

Twenty breaths passed in a flash. Lu Yizhong gritted his teeth and shouted again, "Acting officers, listen to my order. Arrest Chen Yunchao."

After saying that, he turned to the county magistrate who had just sneaked in and asked, "The King of Wei has been notified."

The county magistrate had been hiding, and only came to the county magistrate after the situation stabilized.

"Don't worry, County Magistrate. The people I sent must have informed the King of Wei by now."

Hearing this, Lu Yizhong suddenly felt more confident.

Chen Yunchao was also out of strength and had to be captured by the police.

Although he said he took it, he didn't dare to do anything. He just stood next to Chen Yunchao.

The county magistrate is not afraid, but these minions cannot afford to offend him.

Lu Tong next to him was also helpless. He had no way to intervene now. Now that the curtain fell, he was ready to withdraw.

We must also report what happened here to the general as soon as possible.

Just when Lu Yizhong thought the situation was settled, the sound of horse hooves came from the end of the street.

Everyone turned around and saw a snow-white horse galloping towards them under the moonlight.

The man on horseback was wearing gorgeous brocade clothes, and his golden cloak was swaying in the wind.

Behind him, there were more than ten Ti cavalrymen following to protect him, making him look very impressive.

Seeing the person coming, Lu Tong immediately gave up the idea of ​​escaping, and Lu Yizhong's heart sank as well.
