Chapter 184: 184 Brother-in-law (second update)
Chapter 184 Brother-in-law 184 (second update)
Chu Qianchen smiled and said to Jiang Yuan outside the carriage: "Jiang Yuan, someone is disrespectful to me, what do you think should be done?"
"Slave, please listen to the princess!" Jiang Yuan said with a smile, respectfully.
While speaking, Jiang Yuan looked coldly at the group of royal guards. The pretty girl who had been very inconspicuous before now released a sharp aura as sharp as a sword and a murderous aura.
Several Jin Yiwei were all startled, their eyes slightly focused.
They are also people who have seen the world, and they can see immediately that this maid is definitely not an ordinary maid, her hands are stained with blood.
Wait, princess? !
The commander-in-chief and the other imperial guards felt their hearts tremble.
No one expected that there was actually a princess sitting in the carriage of Duke Mu's mansion in front of them. There are only a handful of princesses of that age in Beijing...
Thinking that Duke Mu's Mansion and Yongding Hou's Mansion were in-laws, the general flag had already vaguely guessed the identity of the princess in the carriage.
In the capital, the most talked-about marriage in the past two months is that the second girl from the Yongding Marquis Mansion has just married into Prince Chen's Mansion.
Regardless of whether King Chen was satisfied with the marriage or not, he molested Princess Chen in public. As a man, King Chen couldn't bear it!
Zong Qi's heart sank little by little, and he felt cold all over. He wished he could raise his hand to slap himself and tell him to speak faster!
They Jinyiwei are not afraid of heaven or earth in the capital, except for one person who still has to worry about a few things -
Chen Wang Gu Jue.
Even the emperor was somewhat afraid of King Chen, let alone a mere bannerman of Jinyiwei.
If King Chen wanted to take advantage of them, I'm afraid even the commander would have to turn a blind eye. If King Chen caught him, not only would no one come forward for him, but he would also embarrass Jin Yiwei and his future. It's probably over...
Zong Qi was wondering in his mind whether he could try to hide her identity. Princess Chen couldn't prove her identity anyway.
His eyes flickered uncertainly. However, before he could react further, there was a rapid and loud sound of horse hooves coming from the other side of the street. A dozen tall and majestic young men with different appearances rode their horses. Come, high-spirited and powerful.
The passers-by watching the excitement on the street hurriedly ran to both sides, shouting things like "Five Cities Soldiers and Horses" and "Be careful".
The whole street was noisy again.
The visitor let out a "whisper", and all pulled the reins to slow down the horses. A group of people stopped two feet away, and the horses were pacing energetically and snoring.
The streets were wet after the thunderstorm, and those horse hooves splashed some muddy water, which happened to splash on the flying fish uniforms of several Jin Yiwei.
The leader is a young man in his twenties, wearing a lake-blue t-shirt and riding a white horse. He has a handsome and elegant appearance and a gentle temperament, just like a scholar.
His temperament looked very different from the young men behind him with handsome looks and bold demeanor, as if he was a scholar mixed with a group of warriors.
The commander-in-chief recognized the young man in blue, his heart sank again, and he smiled dryly and shouted: "Commander Su."
The corner of the general flag's eyes twitched and he thought to himself: This Su Mubai is still pretending like this. Who in the whole capital doesn't know that this Su Mubai can be more ruthless than an executioner when he picks up a sword!
Su Mubai seemed to have not heard the general flag's voice at all. He first looked at Chu Qianchen in the carriage, and respectfully saluted with clasped fists: "Princess."
The commander's heart became even colder.
Sure enough, the person in this carriage is Princess Chen!
The other Jin Yiwei were also convinced of Chu Qianchen's identity at this moment, and they all flinched somewhat.
Now that the thugs have arrived, Jiang Yuan complained straightforwardly: "Commander Su, they are rude to the princess. You have to vent this bad breath on the princess's behalf."
Jiang Yuan actually breathed a sigh of relief secretly.
She is not afraid of the Jin Yiwei, and she considers that her skill is no worse than that of the Jin Yiwei. However, the Jin Yiwei has a large number of people, and she is afraid that one of them will not take good care of them, and let them rush into the princess.
Jiang Yuan only said that Jin Yiwei was rude to Chu Qianchen and did not repeat what they said. However, the subordinates brought by Su Mubai had mouths and ears, so they naturally went to inquire about the news. Soon someone followed up and relayed the nonsense that Jin Yiwei Commander had just said. Su Mubai.
A smile appeared on the corner of Su Mubai's lips. He was still smiling, but his eyes were as cold as ice and snow for thousands of years.
A mere Jin Yiwei dared to bully Prince Chen's mansion, how could he bear it!
"General Ding Qi is so majestic!" Su Mubai looked down at General Ding Qi from the horseback.
Mr. Ding Qi: “…”
The corner of Ding Zongqi's mouth twitched, and he was so regretful that his intestines were blue, but he could not lose even if he lost. Even for the sake of Jin Yiwei's face, he couldn't act too humble.
He winked at the fine-eyed Jin Yiwei beside him, and the Jin Yiwei took half a step forward and said politely: "Commander Su, it's just a misunderstanding."
"Misunderstanding?" Su Mubai raised his lower lip with a half-smile, looking like he was easy to talk to. "That means you admit that you were rude to the princess. That's easy. As long as you kowtow to the princess to apologize, then Prince Chen will let the matter be forgotten."
The people from the Five Cities Military and Horse Division behind Su Mubai were all smiling and shouting "kowtow to apologize", as if they were "of one mind with Su Mubai".
Kowtow to apologize? !
These four people were like thunder on the ground, and everyone in the street was shocked.
The whole street fell silent.
Ding Zongqi blurted out without thinking: "What a loud tone!"
The Jin Yiwei have always been used to being arrogant, and just apologetic laughter was their limit, so how could they lower their face and kneel down in public.
Besides, they Jin Yiwei only kneel to the emperor, how can they kneel to a mere woman!
Su Mubai sighed, looking helpless, and said: "The Jinyi Guards do not understand the superiority and inferiority of superiors and inferiors, so I have no choice but to teach you a lesson for Commander Lu."
"How dare you!" Ding Zongqi was also aroused.
Seeing the sparks flying between the two groups outside the carriage, Mrs. Mu Guogong's heart was lifted.
"Sister Chen." She called Chu Qianchen worriedly. Su Mubai was from Prince Chen's palace. If he fought with Jin Yiwei in the street like this, wouldn't this give the emperor an excuse to punish Prince Chen? !
Mrs. Shen also thought of going together with Mrs. Mu Guogong, with the same worried look on her face.
Chu Qianchen smiled slightly and gave Mrs. Mu Guogong and Mrs. Shen a comforting smile, not worried at all.
Others may not know it, but Chu Qianchen still knows something. In just over a month since Su Mubai took office as the commander-in-chief of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, he has made a lot of transfers and transferred some people to the army. The confidant moved in.
The people Su Mubai brought today were all his elite confidants. If the two sides really faced off, the only one who would be at a disadvantage would be Jin Yiwei.
Moreover, Su Mubai always has his own reasons for saying and doing things. He is just an old fox who takes one step at a time and sees ten steps at a time!
He may be angry that he was slighted by Jin Yiwei, but he is not angry to this extent. He is obviously using the topic as an excuse. Could it be...
Is the person Jin Yiwei is searching for someone the prince wants to protect?
Chu Qianchen tilted his little face thoughtfully, the smile on his lips deepened a little, and his eyes were filled with light.
She opened the curtains again and looked out openly.
Su Mubai used his actions to prove whether he dared or not. The whip in his hand suddenly swung out, tearing the air like a snake coming out of its hole, and swung it towards Mr. Ding Qi sharply...
Naturally, Mr. Ding Qi would not surrender and directly pulled out the long sword from the scabbard he carried with him.
However, the long sword was only halfway out of its sheath when Su Mubai's whip hit Mr. Ding Qi **** the wrist.
"Pa", the whip whipping sound was extremely harsh.
The knife in Ding Zongqi's hand came out of his hand and fell to the ground with a clang.
"You..." Ding Zongqi glared at Su Mubai angrily, his face turning green, white and red, the colors changing wonderfully. Su Mubai didn't need to say hello anymore. He brought the people from the Five Cities Military and Horse Division and swarmed forward. Naturally, the Jin Yiwei were not to be left behind, and they all pulled out the Xiuchun Dao at their waists.
What follows is a melee.
The ordinary people who were watching were frightened and hid behind, fearing that they would be accidentally affected and their death would be in vain.
The streets were a mess, with the sounds of weapons being exchanged, shouts, grunts, and the ground falling one after another.
Probably only Chu Qianchen and Jiang Yuan were still in the mood to watch the show, especially Jiang Yuan, who casually caught a flying scabbard and knocked out a Jin Yiwei with the scabbard.
The people brought by Su Mubai all have extraordinary skills and rich practical experience. Su Mubai himself is even more capable of defeating ten enemies with one enemy.
In just less than a cup of tea, the Jin Yiwei and their Xiuchun knives fell to the ground in a mess.
Only Ding Zongqi was left standing there. A two-inch tear was ripped out of the fabric of his right shoulder by a whip, and blood could be seen faintly seeping out.
Those who were watching the excitement were dumbfounded. They were used to seeing Jin Yiwei being domineering in the capital. This was the first time they saw Jin Yiwei suffer such a big loss.
Su Mubai got off his horse and fought, but he was still blushing and out of breath. There was a slight smile on his face, and it seemed that even the curvature of the corners of his mouth was the same as before.
He strolled up to Ding Zongqi, stopped two feet away from him, looked at him with a smile, and said slowly: "Kowtow to apologize."
Su Mubai didn't mean to be polite to the other party at all. He spoke in a gentle tone, but the ruthlessness of his attack was in sharp contrast. He kicked the other party's calf and shin bone.
Mr. Ding Qi groaned, bent his knees, and fell to the ground.
After the rain, the muddy road was cold and wet, and the muddy water penetrated the trouser legs.
Su Mubai turned around, smiled and hugged Chu Qianchen in the carriage.
Chu Qianchen asked calmly: "Commander Su, who are the Jin Yiwei chasing after so many troops?"
Su Mubai replied: "I don't know."
"Could it be..." Chu Qianchen paused deliberately mid-sentence, glanced at the kneeling Mr. Ding Qi lightly, and sneered, "Could it be that he came specifically to target our Prince Chen's Mansion? "
Chu Qianchen did not lower his voice. Some onlookers also heard it and couldn't help but whisper to others around him. Words such as "Jinyiwei", "Prince Chen's Mansion", "Targeted", "Provocative" floated over in the wind. .
Mr. Ding Qi's expression changed and he hurriedly said: "The princess has misunderstood. The Jinyi Guards have no intention of targeting Prince Chen's Mansion!"
The corners of Su Mubai's mouth curled up again invisibly, his eyes were bright, and he secretly thought that the princess was really smart. The princess probably realized that he was deliberately creating chaos, so she said this.
Su Mubai frowned seriously and scolded: "Jin Yiwei is going too far!"
Anyone who heard his words would think that it was Jin Yiwei who was actively provoking Prince Chen's palace.
Chu Qianchen said again: "In this case, we can't let people think that our Prince Chen's Mansion is afraid of the Jin Yiwei."
Even Mrs. Shen could see it. The two of them were singing together, with smiles in their eyes. It seems that my daughter is right, she is living a good life in Prince Chen's Mansion.
The smile in Su Mubai's eyes became even stronger, and he clasped his fists in response, "Princess, don't worry."
Now it’s even more justified!
Su Mubai turned to look at his subordinates and the Jinyi Guards, and said righteously: "The security of the streets in Beijing is under the jurisdiction of their Five Cities Military and Horse Department. The Jinyi Guards are making such a fuss because they don't want to put our Five Cities Military and Horse Department under control." Take it seriously."
"Capture them all and take them to Beizhen Fusi to discuss with Commander Lu!"
Su Mubai was high-spirited, but General Ding Qi's face was ashen. He really wanted to go back to a stick of incense and slap himself hard. This time, he would be in big trouble!
Chu Qianchen told the coachman to "go back home", lowered the curtains, and then smiled slightly at Mrs. Mu Guogong and Mrs. Shen. The smile seemed to say, I told you, it's okay.
Mrs. Shen was filled with emotion. She was the mother and should have been protecting her daughter. But now, their positions seemed to be completely reversed. Instead, she was being protected under her daughter's wings.
This feeling made Shen's mood even more complicated. Mrs. Mu Guogong couldn't help but sigh to Chu Qianchen: "You really look like your great-grandfather!"
The carriage went on the road again, and this time, it returned to Duke Mu's mansion smoothly.
It was noon at this time, and the weather cleared up quickly after the rain. By the time the carriage entered the Duke's Mansion, the road had been dried by the scorching sun, and the shrill chirping of cicadas echoed in the air.
The three of them returned to Shen's yard together.
Chu Qianchen was worried and checked Shen's pulse again, and his brows relaxed a little.
This trip to the Chu family was not in vain. After Shen said the words, the anger in her heart was released, and her illness was half recovered.
"Mom, let me change the recipe for you and replace it with a warmer and nourishing medicine."
As soon as Chu Qianchen said this, Dongmei immediately went to prepare pen and ink.
She had just finished writing her prescription when she heard that Chu Yunmu, who had just finished school, was back.
"Is Chu Qianchen here?!" Before Chu Yunmu entered the door, a loud voice came clearly from outside the house, "I saw Amber!"
The little guy ran very fast, rushing into Tojima like a gust of wind, happily, without a trace of gloom on his little face.
He is young and forgetful. Seeing that Mr. Shen is getting better today, he has regained his former energy.
"Brother Mu." Shen waved to Chu Yunmu with a solemn expression.
Chu Yunmu slowed down and walked towards Mr. Shen almost cautiously, thinking: He has been very good recently. He did not catch sparrows, sneaked out to play with a few cousins, and did not hide in the garden to dig. Hole Roasted Sweet Potatoes…
Mrs. Shen squeezed one of Chu Yunmu's hands, and Chu Yunmu immediately admitted her mistake: "Mom, I was wrong. I missed an article last night and was scolded by my husband this morning."
Chu Yunmu decided to take the initiative to admit his mistake and strive for leniency.
Mrs. Shen was startled, and looked at Chu Qianchen. Both mother and daughter burst into laughter.
The laughter was clear and crisp, and even Nanny Chen and Dongmei had smiles on their faces.
Chu Yunmu blinked and realized something was wrong.
He confessed in vain.
Alas, he was too impatient.
Shen's mood lightened up due to Chu Yunmu's interruption. She held Chu Yunmu's hand with one hand and Chu Qianchen's hand with the other, and said to Chu Yunmu seriously: "Brother Mu, this is Your sister."
Chu Yunmu blinked again, confused.
Of course he knew that Chu Qianchen was his sister. He was just used to calling her by her first and last name occasionally. Mother wouldn't think of him as a fool, right?
Mrs. Shen knew that he didn't understand, so she rubbed his head gently, "Your second sister is your half-sister, and she was born to me just like you."
Chu Yunmu was only five years old, so she was actually confused. She only knew that her family used to say that Chu Qianchen was born to Aunt Jiang, but she didn't understand why she was now born to her mother.
He looked back and forth between Shen and Chu Qianchen. Although he didn't quite understand, he still nodded.
No matter what, there is only one thing that is certain, Chu Qianchen is his sister.
And then, he now has a brother-in-law!
