Fu Shanhe

Chapter 7 Rescue
"Have the Jinyiwei come in?"

Prince Fu asked excitedly.

He is still a young man after all. Although he was tough just now, he couldn't help but panic when the enemy came to attack him.

"Your Majesty, the voice seems to be that of the young master of Zhenyuan Marquis's Mansion.

Just now he rejected your invitation and directly took his servants to guard downstairs. I didn’t expect that he could hold on until now.”

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

There were not many people in the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, and from the sound they knew the battle downstairs was still intense, and it would be difficult to reverse the situation immediately even if they joined in.

But the other person came to save his life, so he was embarrassed to say anything that would spoil the mood.

The sounds of fighting were getting closer and closer, and a guard fell at the door, blood flowing into the house.

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

Before he could calm down, a flying head rolled directly in front of him.

Looking at the expression of unwilling death, Prince Fu could not help but let out a scream.

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

I don’t know if it was intentional, but the middle-aged eunuch next to him accidentally bumped into the table when he went forward to check, and fell flat on his face.

With the contrast of the even more unfortunate eunuch, Prince Fu, who was originally in a bad mood, suddenly felt a little comforted.

With the addition of fresh troops, the morale of the gray-clad men, who were attacked from both sides, dropped sharply and they were soon forced to the left corridor.

After making sure that Prince Fu was not in danger, Li Mu was no longer in a hurry to charge. Instead, he led his men to slowly fight the enemy.

It is not easy to train servants, but now that the credit for saving the emperor has been obtained, there is no need to fight for it.

When the Jinyiwei outside rush in, they will naturally be responsible for cleaning up the aftermath.

In essence, this kind of thing is to highlight loyalty, and ability is secondary.

If the children of nobles demonstrate certain abilities, they can be promoted step by step; if they appear to be too capable, they may easily bring disaster upon themselves.

……

"My Lord, you can come out now.

This old servant just took a glance at the door and saw that the enemy has been forced to the east, and the guards are joining forces with the people from the Marquis' Mansion to besiege them.

It looks like it won’t be long before we can wipe out all the enemies!”

After hearing the middle-aged eunuch's words, Prince Fu's face lit up with joy.

Only after going through the gates of hell did you realize how precious life is.

Although it's a bit dangerous, it's worth it to show off today.

It would probably not be long before the news that he calmly commanded his men to kill the Hu spies in the face of danger would spread throughout the capital.

When you get to your royal brother's place, there will definitely be rewards.

Of course, he didn't care about a little reward, but the title of wise king was still very attractive.

People have to pursue something.

……

"King Fu, where is he?"

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

Led by Captain Zhou, a large group of Jinyiwei swarmed in and just happened to see Prince Fu crawling out from under the table.

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

"Why are you all still standing there? Go and catch the Hu spies!"

The middle-aged eunuch nearby came to the rescue.

The Jinyiwei hurriedly retreated from the room and joined in the siege of the man in gray.

Reinforcements arrived again and the battle soon came to an end, but the fighting was extremely brutal.

Of the twelve palace guards, seven died and three were seriously injured, with only two still able to stand.

The five servants brought by Li Mu were also injured.

However, the blood was smeared from the enemy downstairs. It just looked serious, but in fact there was no injury.

On the contrary, Fu Bao, who was just there for fun, was unfortunately stabbed and became the only wounded in the Houfu camp. After counting the casualties, Captain Zhou, who was commanding this battle, felt very disappointed.

It's easy to deal with the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion. Anyway, no one has died. Going to the higher-ups to negotiate is nothing more than an exchange of interests.

There was trouble at the palace, as the guards were all registered officials of the imperial court, and some of them were even of higher rank than him.

Seven people died at once, so it must be reported to the court.

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

Before Captain Zhou could explain, Prince Fu interrupted him:

"Stop talking nonsense, send someone to find the imperial physician to rescue the wounded!"

As a vassal king of the Dayu Dynasty, Ji Zhaoshun neither bullied men nor took advantage of others, he was a perfect model of a vassal king.

Going out to drink tea or listen to music to relieve boredom can bring about such disasters.

If the responsibility does not lie with him, the good prince, then it must be the fault of the Jinyiwei.

If these guys hadn't driven the enemy into the teahouse, nothing would have happened today, and his guards wouldn't have died.

He almost got himself killed, and in order to let the matter slide, it would be better if the commander of the Imperial Guards came in person to apologize.

Ji Zhaoshun didn't even take a mere centurion seriously.

"Li Mu, the alternate commander of the Hanzhong Guard, greets His Royal Highness Prince Fu!"

Li Mu stepped forward and bowed.

"As expected of a noble family, you have not disgraced your ancestors!"

Prince Fu nodded slightly and said.

The completely different attitudes before and after directly show his position.

He did not continue to show goodwill because the Dayu law stipulated that it was forbidden for vassal kings to make friends with military generals.

"Your Highness, I have nothing to do here, so I will take my leave now!"

After saying that, Li Mu turned around and left without mentioning what had just happened.

Captain Zhou, who was standing by, was about to speak to persuade him to stay, but he swallowed the words back.

Today's events were filled with too many coincidences, and there were still many mysteries that had not been solved. According to the rules of the Imperial Guard, everyone present had to be examined.

However, the Zhenyuan Marquisate was no pushover, not to mention that Li Mu had just rescued His Royal Highness Prince Fu.

If we take the person back for interrogation at this time, we will offend two giants at the same time.

Anyway, the arrest operation was a temporary decision made by the higher-ups, and it was an accident that the fighting spread to the teahouse. There was no possibility of human planning.

A reserve general is still a general, so it is completely reasonable for him to have a few capable servants around him.

Even if there were a few corpses downstairs whose deaths were unusual, more like the deaths of thugs, they were just minor details.

……

Zhenyuan Hou Mansion.

"Madam, something terrible has happened. Master Mu is back!"

The maid's words were truncated, leaving the Marquise confused and she immediately scolded her.

"Xiao Cui, what nonsense are you talking about!
Why is it not okay now that Mu'er is back? "

This kind of thing cannot be tolerated. If it gets out, people will think she is incompetent in managing the household.

“Madam, Master Mu and the others are covered in blood, and they look very creepy.

Fubao was carried back, and he seemed to be seriously injured."

Xiao Cui's explanation surprised the wife of the Marquis.

Although a fight among the sons of nobles is not a big deal, Li Mu's performance today is different from what his master said.

“Please ask the doctor to check on Fubao’s injuries and ask what happened.

Instruct the servants in the mansion not to spread rumors and wait until the Marquis returns to discuss everything!"

After all, the wife of the Marquis had seen big scenes before, so she did not jump to conclusions without authorization.
