Love Affairs in Chang'an - Chapter 351

Chapter 351 What a Villain, a Hypocrite

Li Yuanchang lay on the corner of the azure brick wall of the Imperial City, disgusting and vicious as he spat out incense for nearly a single incense stick of time.

Su Lianqing and the Tantai sisters clutched their noses and waved their hands, “Sao! Sao! Sao! Wipe him with one sword! How can one bear this?”

Qin Mubai rode on his horse and smiled, “Concentrating the boy’s urine, the effects of the medicine are really fierce.”

The hundred cavalry guards laughed wretchedly. The young soldier who had peed walked forward and kicked Li Yuanchang’s butt fiercely. He scolded, “What are you spitting? Your pee is precious! Avoid evil spirits and try to get rid of ghosts!”-Oh, maybe you are the Evil Ghost and Deviant God. You only reacted this way after eating my pee! ”

Li Yuanchang was vomiting so much that his stomach was cramping and he was panting heavily, but he couldn’t help but vomit wildly after hearing this little pawn’s words. After a short rest, he gritted his teeth and lowered his head, not daring to explode. He could only curse in a low voice, “If you have the ability, you can try a sip yourself?”

“Yo, answer back!” The pawn finally caught a reason and kicked Li Yuanchang to the ground like a storm. The brothers beside him also felt their hands itch when they saw that he was enjoying the fight and joined in at the same time.

Qin Mubai sat on the horse with his hands crossed in front of his chest and watched the show quietly.

Just because you can’t kill him doesn’t mean you can’t beat him up. As long as there was still one breath left to pay the bills. If Li Yuanchang, this bastard, didn’t ruthlessly punish him, how would he be able to relieve the anger in his chest?

“Get out of the way! You guys get out of the way!” The Tantai sisters couldn’t restrain themselves any longer, and seeing that Qin Mubai didn’t stop their subordinates from beating Li Yuanchang, they stepped forward and left the few soldiers behind.

Li Yuanchang was beaten until his entire body twitched, his mouth and nose bleeding, and countless bones were broken, leaving only half of his life left.

Perhaps Li Yuanchang knew that it was hard to escape death, so he simply stubbornly stubbornly went all out.

He sprawled on the ground and looked sideways at the Tantai sisters. His eyes immediately burned as he gritted his teeth and cursed, “Bitch! If I had known, I would have tied you up and let a hundred bulls kill you all alive!”

“Beast, beg for death!”

The Tantai sisters endured him for a long time, this was like adding fuel to the fire. Hearing this, the two sisters simultaneously kicked at Li Yuanchang’s lower body.

“Bang!”

It was like a raging shot in the air in a football match!

Li Yuanchang’s lower body actually flew up, heavily smashing into the city wall and landing on the ground, fainting on the spot.

“Aiya, I fainted again. You really are!” Qin Mubai shrugged his eyebrows in shock. He shook his head and said, “I’m the main character. I haven’t touched a single hair on him yet, but you’ve all cleaned up. Is that right?”

“General, don’t be anxious. Judging from this lowly person’s methods, I will definitely wake him up in an instant.”

A soldier walked forward and flipped Li Yuanchang, who was lying on the ground. He took out a shark leather dagger from his boots and cut off Li Yuanchang’s belt with a sinister smile. He stabbed Li Yuanchang’s white butt with a knife.

“Ah!!!-”

Howling like a pig, Li Yuanchang woke up again.

Everyone laughed heartily.

Qin Mubai jumped off the horse and walked to Li Yuanchang, who was rolling his eyes and twitching. He stepped on Li Yuanchang’s chest tightly.

“Kill me!” Li Yuanchang gritted his teeth and roared.

“His vitality is very strong. He can still roar after being tortured like this.” Qin Mubai half-crouched down and looked down at him. She whispered, “I won’t kill you. I will slowly torture you so that you can’t beg for death. If you can’t stand it, then kill yourself. This will be much more refreshing. Otherwise, you will beg me to kneel down and beg me to lick the soles of my feet. Lick it once a day. If you lick it clean, I will consider not torturing you that day.”

“Don’t even think about it!” ‘”Qin Mubai, you’re just a despicable and shameless villain!” Li Yuanchang spat fiercely and spat a mouthful of blood onto Qin Mubai’s trousers. “You’re just a despicable and shameless villain! How dare you be so arrogant! I’m curious about the Li Clan’s prince! You dare to do this to me? You’ll get what you deserve!”

“You’re right, I am indeed a despicable and shameless villain.” Qin Mubai said, “If I were an honest gentleman to deal with a person like you, I would have died long ago.” If I had fallen into your hands, wouldn’t you have killed my relatives and humiliated my wives? Am I just being so polite to you? Li Yuanchang, if you do anything wrong, you will die. If you provoke me, you will be unlucky. I, Qin Mubai, have never harmed anyone in my life, but whoever dares to harm me, I will definitely make him die. It’s not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, but I’m a villain, and I’ll take revenge immediately if I have any. Please stop fantasizing about what kind of gentleman I am. A good person, if I become vicious and shameless, I will definitely be a Grandmaster. A clown with a shallow cultivation like you really doesn’t enter my eyes. ”

Li Yuanchang closed his eyes in despair.

Better offend a gentleman than a villain. As a villain, Li Yuanchang understood this logic better than anyone else. It was only today that he realized that he did not understand Qin Mubai’s opponent at all. He fantasized that Qin Mubai was a respectful gentleman and didn’t dare to go overboard.

But today, he knew that he was wrong. He was wrong so thoroughly and lost so cleanly!

“Alright, I admit defeat.” Li Yuanchang tightly closed his eyes and didn’t dare to look up at Qin Mubai. He said, “Give me a straightforward sword and kill me!”

“What I said will not change. I will imprison you and torture you every day. And ask for a decree to seize your manor and purge your accomplices. As far as I know, your mansion has more than a hundred beautiful ladies, and you like them very much. I want to take them all into exile in Lanzhou and serve as military prostitutes for slaves and maids. Li Yuanchang, don’t you like to fuck other people’s wives the most? Qin Mubai raised the corners of his mouth and said, “Now I’ll let you give it a try. Watch your woman taste the taste of being ridden by a thousand people!”

“You’re shameless! You bastard! Qin Mubai, you’re going to die a terrible death! There’s no asshole in having a son!” Li Yuanchang cursed loudly, his hands flapping at Qin Mubai’s feet as he waved them to the left and right.

“Can you pull me?” Qin Mubai used a bit of dark force under his feet to trample him to death. Although Li Yuanchang was furious, he was helpless because his lifeline had just been severely injured. How could he use much strength? Thus, he was unable to move at all.

“Kill me!!!” Li Yuanchang finally collapsed, hysterically shouting and crying.

The corner of Qin Mubai’s mouth curled into a satisfied smile. He pulled Li Yuanchang’s bright purple-yellow deer dragon robe and wiped the blood sputum off his trousers’ legs. He loosened his leg and said, “Li Yuanchang, it has been several years since I’ve ever hated anyone. There has never been a real enemy. You are the first.” You have provoked me repeatedly, humiliated me, and poisoned me. If I don’t report it, torture, and kill you thoroughly, then I’m a hypocrite who doesn’t differentiate between weakness and incompetence. Don’t talk to me about repaying kindness with grievances, that’s the work of an obedient fool and a coward. I’ve always preferred being a real villain to being a hypocrite. So you deserve it-what are you waiting for, get a car and put him in, drag him to Baiji camp, treat him with good wine and meat, treat him with medication, take good care of him! Let him live, let me torture him. “If he dies, I will only ask you!”

“Yes!”

“Qin Mubai, you bastard! You’re a madman! You’re not a human! You’re a demonic beast!” Li Yuanchang was utterly desperate as he roared out in fear and indignation.

“Thank you for the compliment.” Qin Mubai smiled indifferently and got on his horse. He looked at Li Yuanchang and said, “Curse. The harder you curse, the more painful it is to struggle. The more energetic I am when I torture you, the better it will be for me.”

“You!” Li Yuanchang couldn’t curse anymore, and he started crying while pounding his chest on the ground.

“Please, kill me! Kill me–!!”

The Hundred Cavalry Guards acted swiftly and quickly found a carriage. They tied Li Yuanchang up tightly and stuffed his mouth into the carriage before dragging him to the Hundred Cavalry Camp.

The faces of Su Lianqing and the Tantai sisters were a little pale, and they didn’t dare to look straight at Qin Mubai with lingering fear in their hearts.

“What? Even you guys are scared?” Qin Mubai smiled.

Su Lianqing curled her lips and said in an urn, “I didn’t expect that, General Qin. You are much more vicious than us. It’s not too much for you to torture Li Yuanchang. But why did his wife and concubine provoke you? You want to put them at the border and stuff them into the military camp as prostitutes?”

“I’m bluffing him. How can I do such a thing? Lanzhou is my father’s territory, and the military discipline is quite strict. How can I visit prostitutes in the army?” Qin Mubai smiled and said, “Birdman Li Yuanchang is going to use his own methods to beat his weak spots.” Actually, he knew very well that he was already on the verge of death, so he decided to go head-on with me to kill him with a single saber to free him. I won’t. I’ll torture him slowly. He liked to play with other people’s wives the most, which was his greatest pleasure; I insisted that the hundreds of attendants he raised in the manor threaten him and give him the greatest pain. “If it’s not like this, how can it be considered satisfying?”

The three women shivered at the same time. Su Lianqing said, “You’re really scary. It seems like offending no one can offend you.”

“Is that so, Su Lianqing?” Qin Mubai smiled coldly and said, “Then tell me, have you ever done anything wrong to me?”

Su Lianqing couldn’t help but take two steps back with an inexplicable tremor. “Why are you talking like that? I came from Xiangzhou to work for you. Do you suspect that I’m disloyal to you?” She cried out in surprise.

“You know the truth. I don’t want to say anything else.” Qin Mubai didn’t look at her and said to the air in front of him, “I only said one thing. It won’t happen again.”

After saying that, Qin Mubai patted his horse and slowly left.

Su Lianqing’s face was covered in cold sweat, almost petrified. The Tantai sisters looked at her in astonishment and asked, “Sister Su, what did you do to the general? Did you betray him?”

Su Lianqing stared at Qin Mubai who was gradually leaving. She gulped down a mouthful of saliva and nodded blankly. Then, she shook her head in panic and said, “Don’t ask any more questions!” Qin, Qin Mubai, how terrifying! I was wrong. I shouldn’t have … Forget it. Fortunately, he spared me. “I also don’t fantasize about being a few-grade madam, a hundred-cavalry female official. I’d better return to the Wu Dong Clan honestly and be her personal maid!”

“What exactly is going on?” The Tantai sisters were confused.

“Stop asking! Stop asking! Otherwise, I’ll poison you all!”

Qin Mubai rode his horse and slowly walked near the messy Tongxun Sect, looking thoughtful.

Just now, he had cheated on Su Lianqing like this, and he immediately confirmed the guess in his heart.

That’s right. From the beginning, the entire matter was under the control and planning of the Emperor. Including the mission and origins of Su Lianqing and the Tantai sisters, he knew exactly what the Crown Prince and Li Yuanchang had been plotting.

The reason was, of course, that Su Lianqing, a smart woman, had also become an emperor’s spy.

Qin Mubai was glad that he hadn’t crossed the lightning pond to do something stupid. It was a metaphor for secretly investigating the secrets in Li Yuanchang’s hands. It was a metaphor for not getting too close to either the Crown Prince or the Wei King. It was a metaphor for not secretly dismantling or hiding anything after obtaining the secret edict from the previous emperor.

It turned out that Emperor Li Shimin knew everything from beginning to end.

Like walking on thin ice!

Qin Mubai closed his eyes and let out a long sigh!

It was this kind of world, this kind of officialdom, this kind of court!

There are no eternal enemies, no true friends, only eternal interests. Monarchs and officials, after all, could not be true confidants and friends. Even if this subject was the flesh and blood of a Sovereign King, he could not. Li Shimin couldn’t even trust his own son, so he wanted to probe, but in the end, the Crown Prince was defeated. What was a mere son-in-law and subject to him? If there was even the slightest act of disobedience, it would instantly be annihilated!

…

Qin Mubai rode his horse and slowly paced to the Tai Le Sect. He went up the tower, and Li Daozong was still there.

“How’s the situation? Did you catch Li Yuanchang?” Dao Sect Li asked.

Qin Mubai nodded and said, “The troops of the Eastern Palace can’t withstand a single blow. Li Yuanchang and the others are even more useless. They managed to capture Li Yuanchang alive with a single blow. I have secretly escorted him to the Hundred Cavalry Camp to be closely guarded.”

Li Daozong heaved a sigh of relief and patted Qin Mubai on the shoulder. He turned to look at the distant horizon and said, “Li Yuanchang, he should have died in the chaos.”

“I will arrange it.” Qin Mubai replied. He had already expected this result. Li Yuanchang was just the fuse of this huge political storm. His life and death had long since been irrelevant to the overall situation, and the Emperor did not want to see him and face him again.

Perhaps, after the imperial edict in Li Yuanchang’s hand was stolen, he was already a corpse. To the emperor, he was meaningless.

“Mubai ah … now, what are your plans?” Dao Sect Li suddenly asked Qin Mubai a question that puzzled him.

Qin Mubai frowned and asked, “Your Highness is asking … what are your plans?”

“What do you say?” Li Daozong smiled gently and pushed his hand with Taiji.

Only then did Qin Mubai regain her senses. It turned out that Li Daozong was referring to the problem of establishing a reserve.

The Emperor’s illness had unleashed all the hidden dangers in the court. This was akin to hunting through a mountain to alert a snake. All the prey had escaped from the bushes in a hurry. After a hunt, the knot was about to be seen.

Perhaps this was something that Li Shimin had no choice but to do. In his heart, it should have been decided long ago. Crown Prince Li Chengqian, he had to be crippled, but there was no good way or reason. Previously, at Su Lianqing’s place, the Emperor must have known that Li Yuanchang and Li Chengqian were plotting against each other, so he wanted to capture them and attack them later.

However, Li Shimin still gave Li Chengqian a chance. If Li Chengqian hadn’t jumped out early this morning to question Li Zhijian and stop messing around with the puddle of water, he would at least be safe and sound now. Unfortunately, Li Chengqian had already sentenced himself to death, so he left him alive and openly retaliated.

As a result, his ending was doomed.

Throughout the entire incident, Li Shimin had been hiding in the deep dormitory, “lying sick” and not showing his face. However, his series of wrists were enough to cause people to exclaim, exclaim, and feel their bones stand on end.

Qin Mubai couldn’t help but recall what his father had said a few years ago when he first started his career: Never underestimate the emperor. Everything was under his control.

From the looks of it, Li Shimin understood the overall situation of the Imperial Hall and the details of the matter, making the arrangements flawlessly.

“Everyone, including me, Qin Mubai, is just a chess piece under him” Qin Mubai sighed deeply in his heart!

“Why aren’t you talking?” Dao Sect Li asked, “You don’t want to go to Lanzhou and leave, do you?”

“To tell you the truth, Your Highness, that’s what I was thinking.” Qin Mubai said, “I just want to do something that is within my duty. I don’t want to provoke the imperial court. Apart from being dangerous, it’s also a bit cruel. Rather than participating in such a thing, I’d rather go to the border to deal with the enemy. On the battlefield, I can kill people without blinking an eye. In Chang’an, I can only sigh if I win or lose.”

After hearing this, Li Daozong narrowed his eyes slightly and leisurely sighed. He nodded and said, “Yes! Victory or defeat, you can only sigh. Actually, the Crown Prince’s nature is not bad. It is enough to make people sigh. We outsiders are still like this. Do you imagine the pain in the Emperor’s heart at this moment?”

Qin Mubai was silent for a moment and said, “Is His Majesty alright?”

“I heard that he is really sick after the East Palace conspiracy. He can’t be ill at all.” Li Daozong said, “Perhaps he had expected such a thing, but he was still unable to withstand such a blow.” Who was the emperor? In his youth, he had risen to his deaths, and had gone through many storms, but he was still able to fall ill from such a blow. It could be seen how much damage the Crown Prince had caused him. After all, the emperor was also a human, a body of flesh and blood, with seven emotions and six desires. Most of the time, we regard him as a divine object, a symbol, but we ignore that he is also a husband, a father, and a son. It’s not easy! –Mubai, the emperor and I have been brothers for decades. We must know him better than you. At this moment, I have a sentence for you. I hope you can listen and remember it. Don’t forget it. ”

“Your Highness, please speak.”

“No matter what the emperor has done, don’t blame him even if he has let you down.” Li Daozong looked into the distance and whispered, “It’s like today, the Crown Prince Cheng Qian doesn’t blame the Emperor.”

“Mm” Qin Mubai replied and nodded lightly.

“When a man has the world in his heart and shoulders responsibilities, he will often be unable to help himself, because he has to be responsible for more people, for the dynasty, and for history.” “His Majesty may not be able to be a good son, a good husband, a good brother and a good father in this life, but he is a good emperor. He is worthy of the world, worthy of history and has a clear conscience.”

Qin Mubai was speechless.

The two of them stood side by side and looked at Chang’an City, which was like a chessboard, for a long time without saying a word. Finally, Li Daozong said, “Leave the rest of the matters in the palace to me for the time being. You don’t need to rush to see the Emperor. Go back and call Gaoyang. Let’s go home and take a look. At this moment, the one who misses you the most is your family. Go back and accompany them. If there’s anything else, I’ll send someone to call you.”

“That’s good. Thank you, Your Highness.” Qin Mubai returned the Son of Heaven Sword to Li Daozong, bowed to him, and went down the tower.

Su Lianqing and the other three women waited for him here, but they didn’t dare to say anything when they saw him. They silently followed behind him and walked towards the harem.

There were many Imperial Forest Gates guarding the Great Brightness Palace’s Danfeng Gate, and their security was extremely tight. Qin Mubai stopped and said to Su Lianqing, “At this moment, the harem is inaccessible, so I’m too lazy to waste my breath. Go in and invite Princess Gaoyang out. Tell her that I want to take her home to greet her mother.”

Su Lianqing bit her lips and hesitated for a moment. Seeing Qin Mubai’s resolute attitude, she could only nod her head obediently and accept her fate. She walked forward to reveal a waist token and walked into the Great Bright Palace in a dignified manner.

The Tantai sisters immediately widened their eyes in surprise and whispered, “So Big Sister Su really has a different path. Even the imperial harem can move freely!”

“Her ability and wrist are far beyond your reach.” Qin Mubai smiled and said, “But with her character, she is destined to not be trusted by others.”

“General Jin Yan, we will remember!” The Tantai sisters suddenly bowed down in panic.

“Get up, what are you doing? I have no innuendo.” Qin Mubai said, “Previously, the Emperor told me that it would be inconvenient to protect the maids of the palace. It would be best if you could recruit a few female generals or soldiers. I think you two are loyal and reliable. How about it? Are you interested in becoming a half-official of the Hundred Cavalry?”

The two women were instantly overjoyed, even though they kowtowed, “Everything is up to the general!”

“Then let’s do this first. The Emperor still has the final say on the specific situation. After all, it’s something new.” Qin Mubai heaved a sigh of relief and smiled. “Get up! From now on, your only master is the Emperor. Remember!”

The two sisters looked at each other and nodded solemnly, “We remember! The emperor is our only master, but the general is our reincarnated parent!”
