Tang Dynasty: A Guide to Avoiding Pitfalls for Li Er at the Start

Chapter 184 I must see His Majesty!
"You audacious thief, release my brother at once!"

"Otherwise, once I break down the door, I will tear you thieves to pieces!"

Wen He recognized the voice, but before he could remember who it was...

Li Daozong roared in fury: "Fine, I'd like to see who in Chang'an City has such audacity!"

He suddenly dismounted, grabbed his lance, and charged out, lifting the bolt with one hand to open the middle gate.

"Wenxianzi, should we go and help?"

Samurai Ge suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

He hid when Li Daozong barged in, and only came out now that the crisis was over, still feeling lingering fear.

Wen He was still trying to remember where he had heard that voice when suddenly he remembered.

"Prince Rencheng, wait!"

he exclaimed.

Suddenly, a commotion arose outside.

Upon hearing the sound, he hurriedly ran outside. When he arrived at the door, he saw Yan Lide being supported by someone, while Li Daozong's lance was only a foot away from the former.

Fortunately, Duan Zhixuan arrived in time and helped Yan Lide block the attack; otherwise, Li Daozong's spear would have pierced him through the heart.

"Yan Lide?"

"Prince Rencheng?"

They looked at each other, both taken aback, but they still couldn't figure out what was going on.

Yan Lide pointed at Li Daozong and shouted, "Prince Rencheng, you've just returned to the capital, and instead of meeting the Emperor, you're committing violence here. What are you trying to do?!"

"Hmph, I dare ask you, what are you doing blocking Wen He's door with so many people!"

After he finished speaking, Yan Lide was stunned.

"Uh, you weren't the one who committed the crime?"

Li Daozong frowned, looking at him suspiciously: "Are you trying to tell me that you're here to help?"

"Misunderstood."

Wen He breathed a long sigh of relief and quickly ran over.

"Brother Wen." Upon seeing Wen He, Yan Lide quickly pushed away the two people supporting him and strode towards Wen He.

He reached out and hugged Wen He tightly, looking him up and down.

"Are you alright? Are you hurt? Who was the assailant?"

Yan Lide was on the road when he heard someone say that screams were coming from Wen He's house, and he panicked.

If no one else comes forward, he might even have to ask the emperor for permission to use the crossbows.

"Xiao Langjun!"

Zhang Wenxiao and his group walked over from the side. Their horses were not as fast as Li Daozong's, so they were a step slower.

"Oh dear, Wenxianzi, what on earth happened?"

Huang Chun felt like he was about to fall apart, and he didn't dare to slow down for a moment the whole way.

Li Junxian and Duan Zhixuan also cast questioning glances at them, asking with concern.

Wen He never expected that she would be so popular.

When things really got dangerous, so many people came to help me.

"drive!"

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves came from afar.

"Wen He!"

From afar, Changsun Wuji rode up on horseback, and when he saw so many people standing outside, he was quite surprised.

"Prince Rencheng?"

He was particularly astonished when he saw Li Daozong.

Li Junxian and Duan Zhixuan were also there.

"General Changsun."

Li Daozong greeted him dismissively.

Changsun Wuji is now the Left General of the Martial Guard. Although he holds the civil post of Left Vice-Minister of the Crown Prince, he is still addressed according to his highest official rank.

After exchanging greetings, Changsun Wuji asked Wen He, "What exactly happened? Why was someone attacking your residence?"

"It's nothing much. It's just that His Majesty sent the Prince of Chu to me, and some people are dissatisfied and want to take him away."

Wen He pointed to the inside of her residence.

Upon hearing this, Changsun Wuji's expression turned somewhat unfriendly: "The Yin family?"

"The Yin family? Oh, right, no wonder that person looked so familiar to me, it was Yin Hongzhi."

Li Daozong then remembered.

However, he didn't take it to heart.

The Yin family had long since fallen into decline. If it weren't for Consort De supporting them, Yin Hongzhi wouldn't even have been able to stay in Chang'an.

How dare someone like that provoke Wen He? He narrowed his eyes, suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help but smile meaningfully.

"As a relative of the emperor, how can you be so lawless? This is outrageous!"

Changsun Wuji was furious.

He was not angry because Yin Hongzhi had caused such a scene at Wenhe's residence.

Instead, the latter harbored delusions.

He knew very well why Li Shimin had all the princes except Li Chengqian move out of the East Palace and into Wenhe Mansion to do hard labor as students.

Although this matter was kept secret from most people, those who knew understood that the emperor did this in order to prevent other princes from having any inappropriate thoughts in the future.

To prevent a repeat of the past tragedy.

Yin Hongzhi must have learned the news from the palace, and he must have thought of this as well, which is why he made such a scene.

"Let's go! Today I'll see just how bold Yin Hongzhi really is!"

Changsun Wuji sneered, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

He truly wanted to kill Yin Hongzhi with his own hands at that moment.

How dare a mere concubine's younger brother covet imperial power?

Do you really think everyone else is stupid?!

"Um, Brother Changsun, there's something I need to explain first."

Seeing him go in like that, Wen He quickly followed behind him and said awkwardly.

Changsun Wuji had no time for his nonsense and said unhappily, "What, your door was smashed up, and now you want to plead for him?"

"plead?"

Li Daozong and Wen He, who were standing to the side, burst into laughter.

"This little kid broke someone's leg, what kind of pleas are you asking for? He's just afraid you'll see and he'll feel bad."

Wen He, whose thoughts had been exposed, turned around and glared at him, annoyed: "Thank you." "It was an accident, haha, it should be fine, right?"

He hadn't expected it to be Changsun Wuji; if it had been someone else, he wouldn't have been so embarrassed.

After all, they are all relatives of the emperor, and who knows if Changsun Wuji will blame him for this.

"Your leg is broken?"

Changsun Wuji was taken aback and looked Wen He over in surprise.

I never realized Wen He was so ruthless before.

They even broke someone's leg.

But he did it in a very satisfying way.

"So what if they interrupt? Such a heartless and insane person, even if we kill them, what difference will it make!"

Of course, this was just Changsun Wuji talking nonsense.

If Yin Hongzhi were killed, then Wen He would also be guilty.

Although Wen He had given him a heads-up, Changsun Wuji was still taken aback when he entered the gate and saw the scene before him.

It's more than just breaking legs.

Wen He clearly dismembered Yin Hongzhi's limbs.

The latter was lying on the ground, wailing.

The others were on the verge of death, barely clinging to life.

"You did all of this?" Changsun Wuji pointed ahead, speechless.

Wen He smiled noncommittally.

"Oh, isn't this the auxiliary machine? Did His Majesty send you?"

Wu Shiyue saw Changsun Wuji from afar and immediately came to greet him.

If the latter has arrived, then His Majesty must already know about this matter.

"Duke of Ying"

Upon seeing Wu Shiyue, Changsun Wuji spoke in a very calm tone.

But the former was exceptionally enthusiastic.

"These villains are utterly depraved. Fortunately, His Majesty was wise enough to have the Xuanjia Guards protect me in advance. Of course, when I found out, I was extremely anxious and brought my men over immediately."

He was seeking credit, not for Changsun Wuji, but to have the latter convey these words to Li Shimin.

"Rest assured, Duke Ying, I will report this matter to His Majesty truthfully."

Changsun Wuji clearly had no interest in paying attention to him and quickly stepped forward.

"uncle."

Upon seeing him arrive, Li Tai happily went to greet him.

Upon seeing his nephew, Changsun Wuji's expression softened considerably.

"Greetings, King Wei."

"Uncle, why did you take so long to arrive? That beast was so fierce just now, he even said he was going to kill me. Luckily, the master protected me, otherwise I would have been in serious trouble."

He embellished his story, while secretly giving Wen He a wink.

It was as if they were asking Wen He if his accusation was good.

But Wen He just rolled her eyes at him.

At this point, there's no need to say anything more.

Unless Li Shimin was willing to abandon him for a woman, Yin Hongzhi's fate was already beyond doubt.

Changsun Wuji didn't take it to heart, and glanced at Li You, who was in a panic, not far away.

And there was Li Ke, who stood calmly to the side.

His eyes darkened slightly, and then he looked down at Yin Hongzhi.

"His Majesty has decreed that all those who caused trouble at Gao Yangzi's residence today shall be imprisoned!"

"No, why? It's unfair! It's unfair!"

When Yin Hongzhi saw Changsun Wuji, he had a bad feeling.

He knew that the latter must have seen through his thoughts.

But he was unwilling to accept it.

The King of Chu was the only hope for the Yin family.

If Li Shimin could come to Xuanwu Gate, why couldn't the Prince of Chu?

According to his plan, he would threaten Wen He, forcibly seize the Prince of Chu, and then beg for mercy from Li Shimin.

If his sister in the harem says a few kind words, the matter can be dropped.

He's just a country bumpkin with no connections. Would His Majesty the Emperor abandon the Yin family because of him?
"I wish to see His Majesty!"

"Noisy!"

Changsun Wuji slapped him without hesitation, then looked at him coldly and said, "I will make sure you see His Majesty. One hundred cavalry, take them down!"

Changsun Wuji shouted.

But after waiting for a while, he saw Zhang Wenxiao and the others not move.

He frowned and glared at the Hundred Riders.

Just then, a cough was heard behind him.

"Didn't you hear what General Changsun said? Why aren't you making a move?" Wen He said irritably.

While it's true that the Hundred Cavalry are disciplined and obey orders, they are not the Willow Camp, and he is not Zhou Yafu.

"promise!"

The hundred riders immediately stepped forward and captured Yin Hongzhi and his group.

These fluid movements made Changsun Wuji somewhat embarrassed.

“These people are used to being wild, General Changsun, you don’t need to take it to heart.” Wen He chuckled dryly, also to give Changsun Wuji a way out.

The latter forced a laugh: "No."

After saying that, his face immediately turned cold, and he strode out.

"I want to see His Majesty!"

Yin Hongzhi, who had been stunned by the beating, regained his senses after being lifted up by a hundred riders.

Seeing this scene, he immediately started shouting in a panic.

Unfortunately, no one paid any attention to him.

Changsun Wuji, who had reached the door, suddenly stopped and turned to look at Wen He.

"Oh, by the way, Mr. Wen, please come along too."
