Wang Linquan will definitely instigate Zhao Xun to deal with Li Chang'an, which will be a good opportunity to take care of both of them at the same time.
Wang Linquan has connections to the Qingyi Alliance, which is a treasonous organization.
You, the heir apparent of the Prince of Jing'an, are mixed up with a rebellious organization.
He killed him with a single blow, and even Prince Jing'an dared not say anything.
As a spy for Beiliang, Wang Linquan was someone Li Chang'an had to kill.
Li Chang'an had already decided to deal with Wang Linquan under the pretext of his involvement in the Qingyi Alliance's rebellion.
Then, Wang Linquan's millions of taels of silver were directly used as military pay.
Li Chang'an helped Zhao Xun up expressionlessly. "So you're Zhao Xun's nephew."
"I thought we had encountered river bandits. I was just passing by, so I took your aunt into the city to have a look."
Zhao Xun didn't immediately realize who his aunt was.
Li Chang'an said casually, "Oh, right!"
"Nephew, Wei'er is my newly acquired concubine, so she's practically your aunt!"
"You silly boy, don't just stand there, call for help!"
With several embroidered spring knives still held to his neck, Zhao Xun, despite his burning anger, dared not act recklessly.
"Nephew Zhao Xun... greets Aunt..."
Hearing Zhao Xun call her "aunt" in a frustrated tone, everyone held back their laughter, except for Cuihua who laughed out loud.
"Whee!"
"The young master has not lost out!"
Wu Liuding asked doubtfully, "Calling someone 'aunt' when we're about the same age isn't a bad deal, is it?"
Cuihua said with a smile, "I was supposed to call her 'Mother,' but now I'm calling her 'Auntie,' so it's definitely not a loss!"
Wu Liuding stroked his chin and nodded.
"In that case, it's definitely not a loss."
In Xiangfan City, Zhao Heng hurriedly arrived at the city gate.
He disregarded all decorum and shouted at the white-robed Guanyin statue on the fishing platform!
"The Six-Bead Dharma King!"
"Please save my son!"
Zhao Heng was truly alarmed when Zhao Xun was captured.
This Prince Jing'an had somewhat perverse methods for stimulating and raising his son.
However, he was truly disappointed in the crown prince.
At this moment, Li Chang'an had already led his men to the shore of Spring God Lake.
The Qingzhou Navy has 40,000 men. Although it sounds like a lot, the Qingzhou Navy is extremely weak and usually just puts on a show.
Because of prolonged peace, corruption became rampant within the navy.
In particular, the embezzlement of the naval commander Wei Dong was already common knowledge.
Li Chang'an didn't take Prince Jing'an and his son seriously, mainly because their military strength was too weak.
They hadn't gone far when they arrived at the city of Xiangfan.
The onlookers quickly made way for them.
Pei Nanwei was standing next to Li Chang'an.
Wu Liuding and Cuihua were escorting the disheveled Zhao Xun.
Emperor Li Chang'an of Tang accepted the princess whom Prince Jing'an had specifically requested to marry.
They are still holding the heir of the Prince of Jing'an captive, and they want to enter Xiangfan City openly.
The people who witnessed this scene were both shocked and horrified!
The Prince of Jing'an and his son are incredibly powerful and unapproachable figures in Qingzhou!
At this moment, Zhao Xun's anger and humiliation had overwhelmed his fear!
Li Chang'an is humiliating him!
Normally, these people would avoid him at all costs.
And today, these people are actually pointing fingers at him!
Only after Li Chang'an left did some of the onlookers dare to discuss the matter.
"As expected of a prince who dared to kill Chu Lushan, he truly has guts!"
"Won't this slap in the face to Prince Jing'an cause a fight between the two sides?"
"Judging from this, the Tang King and Miss Pei are clearly a better match."
"Your Highness looks so listless today!"
……
The Six-Bead Dharma King remained silent, seemingly not offering any assistance to Zhao Heng.
Zhao Heng had no choice but to jog all the way to the city gate to greet Li Chang'an.
There was nothing they could do; their son was in someone else's hands.
The high and mighty Prince Jing'an was all smiles at this moment, showing no airs of a prince.
"Brother Chang'an! You've arrived!"
"Welcome to Xiangfan! Since you were coming, why didn't you tell me sooner!"
"Brother, you must send someone to pick them up!"
Zhao Heng's enthusiasm is just like that of Li Chang'an's long-lost brother.
Li Chang'an said with a forced smile, "Prince Jing'an, don't be so polite."
"I came here this time simply to take a look at Xiangfan City."
"I never expected His Highness to be so unwelcoming."
Zhao Heng chuckled and said, "Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding!"
"The navy was conducting drills today, and we almost accidentally injured my brother Chang'an!"
As he spoke, he tried to get closer to Zhao Xun.
But the Bluebird's instantaneous spear was coldly thrust against his neck.
The bluebird said coldly, "Get lost!"
Zhao Heng awkwardly stepped back, ending up next to Pei Nanwei.
He had a憨笑 (a kind of simple, honest smile) on his face and looked harmless.
"Pei... Sister-in-law!"
Congratulations! You've found a perfect husband like Chang'an!
"I told you long ago, you are destined to be a princess!"
"See, see, I wasn't wrong!"
Pei Nanwei frowned and moved to the other side.
She was somewhat shocked; the cunning and scheming Prince Jing'an was truly shameless.
"Damn it, sister-in-law," Li Chang'an was truly impressed.
Zhao Heng, that coward, has an incredibly thick skin.
Zhao Heng knew that he had to give Li Chang'an enough face before he could discuss how to return his son.
"Chang'an, I have not been strict enough in disciplining my son, which is why he has offended his brother..."
Li Chang'an interrupted directly, saying, "So, I'll help you discipline your son."
Then, he pointed to the fishing platform above the city gate.
"I've come here to see this renowned Heavenly Talisman!"
The celestial talisman on Diaoyutai was Li Chang'an's most important objective in entering the city.
The white-robed Guanyin and her four disciples are still on Diaoyutai.
The bluebird whispered to Li Chang'an, "Your Highness, Master Longshou is also here."
Master Longshou was the great monk who imposed the karmic obstacles of forbearance on Xu Weixiong and the karmic obstacles of upholding precepts on Qingniao.
Li Chang'an said, "Since he's here, he's doomed!"
Before long, Li Chang'an was able to see the white-robed Guanyin's appearance clearly.
White robes, white snake, white pot—a refined and otherworldly aura, and breathtaking beauty!
