Chang Sun Chong was also puzzled. It wasn't the first day he'd known Li Xiang, and he'd never been this kind to him before. Even if he'd gotten drunk on the street, he'd at most have a servant take him home. So why was he personally taking him home today? Could it be that becoming the Crown Prince had made him more aware of strengthening his relationship with the Chang Sun family?
"What on earth are you doing at my house?"
Chang Sun Chong was half sober. He could hardly stand just now, but his head was clear now. He wanted to know why Li Xiang went to his house so late at night?
"Didn't I tell you? I'll take you back if you're drunk."
Li Xiang's reason was really far-fetched. No one, including Qian Ping next to him, could figure out what Li Xiang was thinking. Although they could not keep up with Li Xiang's thoughts in the past, they could at least guess a little. What was going on today?
"alert."
The two were talking, and Li Xiang was worrying about how to hide his embarrassment when he suddenly heard Long San shouting. Dozens of guards behind him immediately surrounded Li Xiang and Chang Sun Chong.
"Your Highness, there's a fight ahead."
After hearing Long San's report, Li Xiang looked around. Just around the corner was the Changsun family's mansion. Who would dare to fight in such a place?
After hearing this, Chang Sun Chong immediately rode over on his horse, and several guards behind him followed him. They also heard the sound of swords clashing.
Tibetan warrior?
Li Xiang also saw clearly what was going on. It turned out that more than a dozen people were fighting at the door of Changsun's house. Some of them were Tibetan warriors, and the other part should be Chang'an people. It was obvious that this part of Chang'an people was at a disadvantage. Although they had a lot of people, they were not good enough and were beaten back by the Tibetans.
"Separate them."
Just as things were about to get out of hand, Li Xiang gave the order, and his guards quickly rushed over, forcibly separating the two groups. The Tibetan warriors were initially unconvinced, but after looking at the broken swords in their hands and the way these people had just attacked, how could they not guess who they were? They had to be the subordinates of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace.
Li Xiang's subordinates are very famous in Chang'an City. First of all, these people are very powerful, and secondly, their weapons are very powerful. No matter what weapon you use, if it is not a peerless magic weapon, you will not last more than two rounds under their hands. If both sides use weapons to fight against each other, then your weapon will definitely be broken.
Just after one move, five or six precious swords were broken into two. Many Tibetan warriors felt as if their hearts were bleeding. Tibet had no iron, and all of it had to be imported from foreign countries, which cost a very high price. In addition, there was the relationship between them and the weapons. But it would be extremely difficult to get justice. Not to mention meeting Li Xiang's people in Chang'an City, even if they met these people in other places, it would be difficult to get justice.
"Your Highness."
When the group saw Li Xiang coming, they quickly knelt down and saluted. Li Xiang was not familiar with these people. They should be second-rate young masters in Chang'an City. They didn't have much interaction with each other in normal times, but they had met each other before. He didn't know why these guys were fighting here in the middle of the night.
"Your Highness..."
Another person came to pay his respects, and Li Xiang saw that it was a lieutenant from the city guards.
It turned out that these people had been there for a long time, but they didn't dare to take action. Although these young masters were second-rate young masters, their fathers and brothers in Chang'an City were no joke, so they could only watch from the side. If they rashly intervened, they would not be able to hold on.
"What's going on?"
There is also a general from the Tubo Kingdom. He is a subordinate of Lu Dongzan. Li Xiang met him in the imperial city that day. This person's strength should be as strong as that of twenty people. Of course, this is very normal. If the prime minister of the Tubo Kingdom is surrounded by fools, the prime minister's head would probably be chopped off before he even leaves the territory of the Tubo Kingdom.
"Your Highness, these Tubo people are going too far. That Lu Dongzan wants to pursue Miss Changsun, and he even sent people to watch her outside the Changsun Mansion. Whenever she leaves the mansion, Lu Dongzan immediately appears, like a fly. We brothers are considered good men of the Tang Dynasty. How could we let such a thing happen? Let's meet up tonight to drive them away."
A young man in white said that although these people had good intentions, their physical skills were a bit lacking. Looking at their bleeding heads, they must have been severely punished.
"This is my Tang Dynasty territory. Who allowed you to come out at night?"
Li Xiang stood in front of the Tubo general. If he didn't know what happened before, Li Xiang might have given each of them a hundred lashes. But at the moment, Li Xiang was feeling annoyed, so naturally he wanted to cause trouble for you guys.
According to the regulations of the Tang Dynasty, it is curfew time now. The reason why the young man of Tianshangrenjian does not go home is that he is afraid of breaking taboos. But after Li Xiang was canonized as the crown prince, he already had the emperor's gold medal on him, which allowed him to exercise some rights to a limited extent, and he could even go out at night. This is why Changsun Chong came back with him. Otherwise, Changsun Chong would not be willing to go out at night even if he was beaten to death. It would be embarrassing to be caught and taken to the Chang'an County Court.
The Tibetan general was breathing heavily, not knowing how to explain this matter. They had really violated a taboo. Including some young masters in Chang'an, no one would go out at night. You guys dared to follow them at night, and you were targeting the residence of an important official of the court.
"Your Highness, we accept the punishment."
A man dressed as Han Chinese came out immediately. Although this man was Lu Dongzan's follower, he was originally from the Tang Dynasty. After committing a crime in the Tang Dynasty, he fled to the territory of Tubo and became an follower of Lu Dongzan.
Under his persuasion, these Tibetan warriors had to lower their heads and walk towards the city guards, meaning that if they surrendered, the worst that could happen would be that they would be taken back, fined, and whipped.
But you put it in Li Xiang's hands, and your prime minister has a bad relationship with Li Xiang. Do you think some things can be that simple?
"Wait."
The Han follower had originally breathed a sigh of relief, but now when he heard what Li Xiang said, his heart rose to his throat again. It was said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not someone to be trifled with. He did not believe it before, but it seemed that he would be in trouble today.
"Do you have the right to arrest them? Go and call the people from the Imperial City Office."
Hearing this, everyone was shocked...
