Chapter 93
Li Shizhang, the king of Jiaoshan, is the son of the emperor's brother. His fiefdom is Jiaoshan, and he comes to Chang'an every autumn. He is also a playboy and used to being arrogant and domineering in his fiefdom, but when he arrives in Chang'an, he is suppressed by Wu Zhen. Li Shizhang claims to be the royal bloodline, so how can he be suppressed by a non-royal bloodline? What's more, this person is still a woman, and Li Shizhang even feels that he has to give her some excellence.
Since he followed his father to Chang'an at the age of twelve, Li Shizhang had to part with Wu Zhen every time. Wu Zhen's temper is only older than him or not younger than him. You can imagine how deep the two of them have been in the past few years. If Wu Zhen was just an ordinary wife, it would be fine, but she was the queen's sister, the little daughter loved by Duke Yu, and secretly took care of the demon market in Chang'an. She was a devil who could make a fuss when he was angry. Poor Li Shizhang was not her opponent.
When Wu Zhen was young, he was much more arrogant than now, and his temper was not as good as he is now. Li Shizhang had to lose every time he met her, and he always lost a lot of pain. Even if he didn't suffer any losses on the surface, he was still troubled by Wu Zhen in secret. Most of the time he suffered losses, he didn't know that it was Wu Zhen's damn master.
Two years ago, it was also in Qiuli that Li Shizhang had a conflict with a lady Peng brought by Wu Zhen and slapped her. This was a big deal. Wu Zhen didn't care about so much of him and directly fought with Li Shizhang. In front of everyone, Li Shizhang was broken by her and lost all her face. In the end, this matter came to the emperor. Wu Zhen was fined for one month and compensated for some gold and silver. There was nothing else. Li Shizhang returned to his fiefdom to recuperate, but he couldn't come to Chang'an last year, and he had been recuperating for two years.
Who knows that the enemy is narrow and this time I run into it again.
Did he encounter it unexpectedly? This is not the case. Li Shizhang really found out about Wu Zhen’s whereabouts this time and came to find trouble.
Li Shizhang was resentful of Wu Zhen's interruption of his legs, and felt that the punishment for her was too light. This time he decided to get the place back. Since Wu Zhen dared to break his legs, he would dare to mess with Wu Zhen this time. As long as he could breathe anger, he would return to his fiefdom and be imprisoned for several months.
There were many nobles in Chang'an, and the group Wu Zhen brought was only part of them, and some of them could not play with them. Many of them came with Li Shizhang. The two sides met on a narrow road, and the bosses of both sides had a grudge, so before the hunting began, everyone was in a position to fight first.
"Wuzhen, do you dare to fight me?" Li Shizhang glanced at the aristocratic teenagers behind Wuzhen with bad expressions. At least he maintained his basic face and knew that he wanted to find a reason.
But Wu Zhen didn't say anything, and the young girls behind her exploded. The girl with a leopard named A Xiu even came forward and scolded: "You want to be shameless. My sister Zhen is pregnant. Do you ask a pregnant woman to beat you? You can tell me!"
A Xiu's mother was the emperor's sister. She was old and was very fond of her. The whole family loved her very much. She said that she and Li Shizhang were cousins and had a close blood relationship, but she was standing on Wu Zhen's side. Li Shizhang's cousin was so angry that his nose was crooked. But when he heard what she was saying clearly, he felt aroused.
Wu Zhen was actually pregnant?! Li Shizhang then noticed Wu Zhen's slightly raised belly and almost laughed. Very good. Today he had to let Wu Zhen feel the pain of losing his child! He had a plan in his heart, his expression slightly calmed down, and he smiled and said with a smile: "Since you are pregnant and are afraid of fighting with me, I, a big man, can't force you. In this way, you are not married, so let your husband compete with me."
Li Shizhang looked at the tall and thin man beside Wu Zhen with contempt and disdain, thinking to himself that this revenge should be revenged slowly and cannot be settled easily. Before dealing with Wu Zhen, it would be better to take action with her husband first. He had asked before he came. Mei Zhuyu was a small official in the Ministry of Justice and a civil servant. Seeing that he was so gentle and weak, he was not sure whether he could take a knife. He was not able to deal with such a person.
Didn’t Wu Zhen care for the people around her? He would slap her in the face hard today! Just in front of her, her husband’s leg was broken!
Li Shizhang thought that Wu Zhen would definitely be in a dilemma. He refused and was embarrassed. If he didn't refuse, he would wait to be beaten. But he didn't expect that Wu Zhen's face was full of strangeness and a look of "Do you really want to die so?"
Wu Zhen asked with a rare conscience: "Are you sure you want to fight with my husband? I'm afraid you won't have enough support for two years this time, and you have to support for five years."
Li Shizhang sneered, forcing his face to see when you can be proud of it.
"How about it, do you dare to agree?" As he said that, the group of people behind him also slapped their swords and whipped their whips to cheer.
"Do you dare? Give me a correct word. If you don't dare, kneel down and apologize to King Jiaoshan, and whip them two times hahaha!"
Not only did Li Shizhang feel that Wu Zhen was holding on, but Wu Zhen also had a few people who didn't know the details of Mei Zhuyu and were worried when they heard this. That girl named A Xiu was like this. She snorted: "We are hunting. If you have the ability, you should compare hunting. What kind of martial arts are there?"
As soon as these words were said, a few teenagers helped to help and echoed: "Yes, everyone is here to hunt, of course, they have to decide the outcome by hunting."
Li Shizhang came to deal with Wu Zhen with his own hands. He planned to leave the person here to teach a lesson no matter what. Why did he let it go? He turned his head and gave the people around him a look. The man narrowed his eyes, untied the leopard in his hand, and then stimulated it a little. The leopard immediately went crazy and rushed towards Wu Zhen and others' team. Wu Zhen was in front of the team, and the leopard pounced over, and she was the first to be hit.
If the horse was caught off guard by the leopard, Wu Zhen would be very likely to be dismissed by then, and the child might not be able to keep it. Li Shizhang was just holding this kind of thought and stirred up the water first, but who knew that the leopard could not pounce on Wu Zhen's horse at all. He heard a gust of wind, and a long sword passed through the leopard's legs and nailed it to the ground.
It was a long sword. After passing through the leopard's legs, only one of the sword hilts was left exposed, and the rest was penetrated deeply into the soil.
Everyone was stunned at the same time, and the scene was silent.
What happened? Who threw the sword? Because things happened very quickly, many people didn't react at all. But Li Shizhang kept paying attention to Wu Zhen. He clearly saw that it was the weak civil servant Mei Langjun who could not be held in his eyes. He drew out the sword he was equipped with immediately, shot at the leopard, and nailed it to the ground.
The movement was light and as if it was not focused, it hit the ground with a huge pound. When Li Shizhang saw it, cold sweat appeared on his head, and even wondered if he had read it wrong. How could a person have such terrible strength?
It was not just Li Shizhang who saw it. After everyone whispered, they figured out who threw the sword. For a moment, everyone's eyes looked at Mei Zhuyu. However, no matter whether it was ignored or being watched by everyone now, Mei Zhuyu had no special expression.
The girl A Xiu looked at the wailing leopard on the ground. She also raised leopards. Of course, she knew how powerful this leopard was and how fast it was. She could throw a sword with her bare hands to nail the leopard. How could it be ordinary and powerful? It was simply super powerful! So she coughed and shouted to Li Shizhang: "Cough, okay, since you want to compete with our brother-in-law, then compete with each other."
The teenagers who had previously agreed with her quickly changed their words, "Yes, yes, we agree, start quickly." They all looked like they couldn't wait to beat the dog in the water.
Li Shizhang's expression was twisted. After this move, he did not dare to use his life to joke. He was here to avenge, not to find a fight. He secretly scolded the guy who was asking for information and was more than able to make a mistake. He forced his lips to pull the corners of his mouth and quickly changed his words, "I don't want to cause a big deal today. In this way, as you said before, our two teams are hunting."
After the two sides agreed, they went hunting separately. Before Li Shizhang and his team left, the young girls on Wu Zhen started to laugh, "It's so funny. Did you see his expression? When they said they wanted to compete with their brother-in-law, they looked sinister and confident. Later, when they saw that their brother-in-law showed such a move, they asked him to compete, and they were so scared that they broke out in cold sweat hahaha!"
The young men gathered around Mei Zhuyu to ask him various questions, such as how he developed such skills, whether to accept disciples or not. Each brother-in-law was the eldest brother-in-law, and he suddenly forgot that they were not Wu Zhen's younger brother-in-law at all, and Mei Zhuyu was not their serious brother-in-law.
Mei Zhuyu was still cherishing her words and answered briefly. She only showed an indescribable expression when she heard her cousin Mei Si calling her brother-in-law like others, and said to Mei Si: "What are you calling me?"
Mei Si then realized, scratched his head with a squid head and suddenly said, "Yes, you are my cousin, not your brother-in-law."
Wu Zhen was so funny that he almost fell off his horse with a smile.
Li Shizhang and the others who were walking away in shame on the other side were not so happy. Li Shizhang listened to the laughter that was still coming from behind, and threw it hard on the leopard slave who was holding the leopard, cursing angrily: "It's useless."
"King Jiaoshan, let's make them arrogant like this? I can't even bear this tone."
Li Shizhang sneered: "Horse? Humph, of course not. Since she can't let her suffer head-on, then take action secretly. This hunting ground is not peaceful, and anything can happen."
He finished speaking sinisterly and lit a few servants who were good at bowing and arrows, "You, come with me, stick behind Wu Zhen and the others, and wait until they are alone, and then take action."
Wu Zhen, I wanted to let you live, but you just toast and don’t eat the punishment. Since that’s the case, I’m not a big deal here. Li Shizhang pinched the bow and arrow on his back, and shouted with blue veins on his forehead: “Let’s go!”
After Wu Zhen and the others walked apart, they separated from the other young girls. The young men were all thinking about hunting more prey than Li Shizhang. Seeing that Wu Zhen and Mei Zhuyu were about to leave separately, they were worried about persuasion and were kicked away by Wu Zhen.
After a while, Wu Zhen, Mei Zhuyu and the other two were left, as well as several healthy servants from the Duke of Yu's mansion.
Wu Zhen casually glanced at the bushes behind him, and smiled at Mei Zhuyu and said, "I just said, take you to a place, let's go here."
Mei Zhuyu nodded: "Okay."
After moving away from the young girls and many servants who were hunting, they became more and more remote. They could no longer hear the shouts of the forest during the hunting, and the horses gradually could not ride, so they dismounted and walked.
The two sat under an ancient tree for a while and the guards stood a little far away. A little bit of sharp and cold light appeared in the bushes not far away, and they were smiling and laughing at the tree, seemingly unaware of anything.
Wu Zhen raised his head and smiled and said to Mei Zhuyu softly: "Isn't it funny to come hunting and wear ginger robes embroidered with gold thread? It will shine when hiding in the grass and shooting arrows. I can't bear to see it."
Li Shizhang, the king of Jiaoshan who was wearing a turmeric robe in the distance: "Good opportunity, they were not prepared!" Li Shizhang, the king of Jiaoshan, is the son of the emperor's brother. His fief is Jiaoshan, and he comes to Chang'an every autumn. He is also a playboy and used to being arrogant and domineering in the fief, but when he arrives in Chang'an, he is suppressed by Wu Zhen. Li Shizhang claims to be the royal bloodline, how can he be suppressed by a non-royal bloodline?
