Love Affairs in Chang'an - Chapter 309
Chapter 309 Emergencies
The 500 Yue Cavalry that Qin Mubai had brought with him was invited by the honor guard of the Golden Cavalry Guard, who was in charge of welcoming them, to arrange for them to be stationed there. Qin Mubai and Princess Gao Yang, on the other hand, only brought a few Hundred Cavalry Guards and walked around the alleys in the inner circle, heading towards the Qin Mansion without any show of grandeur.
Princess Gao Yang heaved a sigh of relief after sending out the large group of people to greet her. She smiled and said, “Mubai, I don’t like the show anymore. I feel so annoyed. It’s more fun to be with you quietly. Besides, we’re going home now. There’s no need to show off when we get home, right?”
“Yes, that’s right.” Qin Mubai smiled. The closer he got to home, the warmer his heart became.
A group of carriages and horses passed by Qin Mubai’s own mansion and discovered that the entrance to the mansion was open. There were also carriages and horses parked in the courtyard. Qin Mubai couldn’t help but feel a little curious. During my absence, most of my manor was closed. At most, only Shuang’er and her servant maids would occasionally come to clean it up. What happened today?
“Stop the carriage.” Qin Mubai shouted and jumped off the horse.
“Mubai, what’s wrong?” Princess Gaoyang leaned out of the window and asked.
“I’ll go in and take a look.” After saying that, Qin Mubai had already entered his own courtyard.
Qin Mubai couldn’t help but be shocked by the gorgeous Purple Gold Chariot parked in the courtyard. Who would take advantage of my absence to come to my mansion?
Beside the car, there were a few people who were squatting under the eaves and chatting with Qin Bing. When they saw Qin Mubai enter, they all stood up in shock.
“Who are you?” Qin Mubai stepped forward and shouted.
One of the people who looked like a small school probably knew Qin Mubai. He hurriedly clasped his fists and said, “General Qin, we are Hanwang’s followers.”
“Hanwang? Li Yuanchang?” Qin Mubai couldn’t help but frown, his heart filled with disgust!
Wasn’t it the disgusting Han King Li Yuanchang who coveted Wu Meiniang and provoked Yao’er back then? He had clashed with him before and had almost forgotten about him after such a long time. Who would have thought that he would jump out again!
When the little school heard Qin Mubai call Li Yuanchang by his name, it revealed a trace of displeasure, but it immediately concealed it. It still cupped its fists and promised, “Yes.”
Qin Mubai’s expression darkened. “What is he doing here? Where is he?”
“Uh … in the backyard, drinking tea with Miss Yao’er …” The little school replied carefully.
“This is outrageous!” Qin Mubai scolded, and the hundred cavalry dismounted and entered the courtyard. “Young General, what’s the trouble?”
Qin Mubai gritted his teeth and said, “Follow me in the backyard!”
Princess Gaoyang hurriedly got off the carriage and called out, “Mubai, what happened? Hey, don’t worry, wait for me!”
Qin Mubai crossed the courtyard with her hands crossed behind her back. Yao’er brought a group of orphans she had adopted and settled down here. However, she had always been very cautious. When Qin Mubai was not at home, he never opened the front door. He only went in and out through the back door. There weren’t many servant maids in the manor, so it could be seen that Shuang’er hadn’t come today, so she looked a little lonely.
When Qin Mubai arrived at the arch of the backyard, he heard the melodious sound of the pipa from afar. He was extremely familiar with this tune. It was precisely the “Overlord Destroying Armor” that he had taught Yao’er. A song was about to end.
He looked towards the courtyard and saw that there was no one there. The door of the living room was open, and there was a sparse applause and Li Yuanchang’s frivolous admiration, “Aiya, Miss Yao’er’s folk art has really improved at a great speed. Little Wang has opened his eyes again!”
“Since His Royal Highness has already listened to the music, it’s time for him to go back. The maids are going to teach these girls how to read.” It was Yao’er’s voice.
Li Yuanchang was obviously not very tactful and laughed dryly, “Why is Miss Yao’er so rejecting people thousands of miles away?” Little Wang had a hard time finding out that you lived here, so he came to visit him many times. After begging many times, Miss Meng did not abandon playing a song for Xiao Wang. Today … Little Wang had nothing else to do, so he wanted to spend more time with the girl. “As for teaching, I can recognize a few characters the size of a bowl. I can help the girl a little.”
“I dare not trouble Your Highness.” Yao’er’s voice was a little cold, “There are many taboos in a room with a lone man and a widow. Your Highness, please return!”
“Eh? Isn’t there still a lot of little girls here? Why are they lone and widowed?” Li Yuanchang’s laughter was filled with urgency and ambiguity, “Miss Yao’er, is Little Wang not in your eyes?”
“Apologize quickly. The maiden is blind.”
“You …” Li Yuanchang was stunned, and then he became a little annoyed. “I said, what’s wrong with you following this king? Even if you’re a woman, it’s better than staying in the Wind Moon Farm all day and earning money for Qin Mubai and Wu Zhao, right?”
“This is a private matter of the people. Don’t worry about it, Hanwang.” Yao’er clearly had some anger and said with a sonorous tone, “If Hanwang has nothing else to do, please quickly return!”
“Don’t be ignorant!” Li Yuanchang was enraged and shouted, “There’s no woman I can’t get hold of! Don’t rely on Qin Shubao and Qin Mubai to keep me from touching you-you’re wrong! Even if I peel you alive in front of them, they definitely won’t dare to turn against me for an irrelevant woman!”
“You, you’re going too far!” Yao’er was both furious and shocked, and she repeatedly said, “You’d better leave quickly!”
“I’m not leaving today!” Li Yuanchang clearly showed his true colors, “Come on, beauty! This king has played with all kinds of women, but he has never played with blind people, haha!”
The screams of a little girl and the sounds of tables and chairs falling over came from the room.
Qin Mubai stepped into the room and saw that Li Yuanchang had knocked over the table in front of him and was lying on the ground, about to head towards Yao’er’s servant. A few girls and Yao’er hugged each other tightly and cried loudly.
Qin Mubai’s figure appeared at the door of Xiangyang’s room, making the room darker. Li Yuanchang turned his head in surprise and saw the tall figure of a man with a back of the sun, but his face was a little blurry.
“Who?” Li Yuanchang shouted.
Qin Mubai raised his eyebrows and said, “Fight!”
“What?” Li Yuanchang was shocked. Before he could figure out the situation, a few well-armed burly men rushed in from the entrance and knocked him down like a beating!
“You, you dare! Do you know who this king is?” Li Yuanchang hugged his head and shouted.
“Fight to the death.” Qin Mubai glanced at Yao’er and the little girls who were so scared that their faces were so pale that they were dumbfounded, and their voices were as cold as ice.
Baiji had always been the only one who followed Qin Mubai’s orders and never asked any questions. Regardless of who was in front of him, he gave a fierce beating. He swung the big table and smashed it on his body, causing the ground to be filled with debris!
“Stop, stop fighting! Spare me, spare me!” Li Yuanchang’s head shrank into a ball of blood and he finally began to beg for mercy.
Qin Mubai waved his hand and the guards retreated.
At this moment, Princess Gaoyang ran in and was immediately shocked, “Wow, what’s going on-ah, isn’t this Seventh Uncle?”
Li Yuanchang sprawled on the ground and struggled to turn his head around. “Yes … it’s me.”
“Wow, Mubai, why did you hit Seventh Imperial Uncle?”
“Ah? Which Seventh Imperial Uncle?” Qin Mubai’s eyes widened and he was stunned. “I still don’t know where the lackeys came from, but they dared to indecent assault Yao’er in my house. So, they beat her up!”
Li Yuanchang’s entire body was twitching as he lay on the ground, gritting his teeth and bones. It was not easy to refute. He thought that he would definitely suffer from this stuffy loss! I was caught on the spot and revealed. This means that wherever I go, I am also a loser!
Qin Mubai hurriedly ran over to help Li Yuanchang up and exclaimed, “Ah, it’s really His Highness the Han King! How … how could this be? Why did you appear in my backyard?”
Li Yuanchang could only close his eyes and shake his head with a bitter smile. His mouth was swollen and two teeth were missing. He clenched his fist and hid it beneath his clothes, causing his bones to crackle.
Princess Gaoyang was even more shocked. She covered her mouth and glared at Li Yuanchang, saying in fear, “Seventh Imperial Uncle, are you alright?”
“Nothing …” Li Yuanchang finally opened his eyes, but he didn’t dare to look at Qin Mubai. He looked at Princess Gaoyang and smiled bitterly, “I … will go back first.”
After saying that, he struggled to get up.
“Uh, Hanwang is so badly injured, do you want me to send someone to send you off?” Qin Mubai asked.
“No need, I can still … leave.” After saying that, he got up, wiped the blood stains from the corner of his mouth, and walked out with a shake. Before leaving, he turned around and glanced at Qin Mubai with an extremely venomous gaze. Then, he glanced at Yao’er and ran away.
“Whoosh” Princess Gaoyang heaved a long sigh of relief and said angrily, “Mubai, how can you hit Hanwang?”
Qin Mubai frowned and didn’t answer him. He hooked his fingers and summoned a few Baiji outside the door.
“Young General!” The hundred cavalry bowed their hands.
“Trash! With so many fists and feet, he can actually run and jump!” Qin Mubai’s eyebrows crossed as he coldly said, “Didn’t you understand what I said? Do you want to fight to the death?”
“Young General, forgive me …”
“Forgive me!” Qin Mubai was furious and scolded angrily, “You all clearly know that he is the Hanwang, so you showed mercy, right?”
“This subordinate doesn’t dare …”
“Ah” Princess Gaoyang was shocked and hurriedly pulled Qin Mubai. “Mubai, don’t! He’s my Seventh Uncle!”
“What bullshit royal uncle! Next time he dares to do this again, I’ll kill him alive!” Qin Mubai gritted his teeth and even Princess Gaoyang was scared.
“Mubai, I’ve never seen you so angry before …”
Qin Mubai heaved a sigh of relief and walked over to Yao’er and the others.
Yao’er’s face was pale, and her absent-minded grey eyes turned red. She had already shed countless tears. The few little girls were silent as ice as they stared at Qin Mubai in horror, not daring to say a word.
“Yao’er, I’m back.” Qin Mubai stretched out his hand and held Yao’er’s pale and weak hands in his palm. He took a deep breath and said, “No one dares to bully you again. Whoever touches you, I will kill him!”
“Third Brother!” Yao’er suddenly burst into tears and threw herself into Qin Mubai’s arms. The little girls also began to cry loudly.
Princess Gaoyang was stunned on the spot, not knowing what to do. The guards quietly retreated with shame on their faces.
Qin Mubai hugged Yao’er in his arms and comforted her back for a while, at least stopping her from crying.
Princess Gao Yang and Yao’er were quite familiar and had always liked her. Of course, she knew the relationship between Yao’er and Qin Mubai. She was just a foster daughter that Qin Shubao had accepted. The two of them had always addressed each other as siblings. Logically speaking, she didn’t deserve to be jealous, but she still felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
How could Qin Mubai not know Princess Gaoyang’s thoughts? Seeing her dumbfounded little mouth bulge out, she knew that she was unhappy in her heart. She let go of Yao’er, stood up and said to Princess Gaoyang, “What’s wrong? Are you feeling unhappy?”
“No.” Princess Gaoyang shook her head, but she was obviously unwilling.
“Is it because of Yao’er or because I hit Li Yuanchang?” Qin Mubai asked.
Princess Gaoyang’s voice was soft, but her mouth was slightly raised, and her eyebrows were slightly uneasy.
“It’s good that there’s no such thing.” Qin Mubai smiled and patted her shoulder. “It’s time to go home.”
“Oh …”
“Yao’er, come with me.” Qin Mubai turned around and said.
Yao’er wiped her eyelids, clearly still in shock. She answered in a hurry, “Yes …”
The group left Qin Mubai’s mansion and headed towards the Qin Clan of Duke Yi’s Mansion.
Mother Qin and Shuang’er leaned against the door and were somewhat anxious. When they saw the carriage arrive, they cheered happily. Qin Mubai was naturally happy, but what happened just now was still unsettling, causing his smiling face to seem a little fake.
“Eh, Sanlang, what’s wrong with you? Are you too tired or something? When you get home, your face is also tense.” The thoughtful mother questioned. Looking at Yao’er and Princess Gaoyang again, although they were trying their best to squeeze out a smile, Princess Gaoyang was obviously unhappy, and Yao’er’s tears were still wet.
“It’s fine, Mother. Come in!” Qin Mubai smiled and called them into the house.
When she entered the room, Princess Gaoyang walked beside Qin Mubai and whispered, “He definitely won’t let it go!”
“I’m looking forward to it. Let’s settle both old and new debts together!” Qin Mubai replied coldly. Princess Gaoyang’s delicate body trembled slightly and her beautiful eyebrows couldn’t help but frown.
