Chapter 72 (1/2)

The carriage galloped in the open streets of Chang'an city. The road was unobstructed, without encountering the interrogation and obstruction of chengwuwei.

The place where the accident happened was a restaurant in pingkang square. Although the curfew had been imposed on the whole city of Chang'an, no one would be in charge of the activities in the workshop. Therefore, pingkang square has always been a good place for entertainment at night for various kinds of people, officials and nobles.

There are more than ten city guards standing at the gate of the square. From time to time, they watch the galloping carriages. When the carriages approach, one of them pulls out his broadsword and yells: ”who is it? Stop the carriage

The carriage slowly stopped in front of Wu Wei. Without waiting for Li Hong in the car to speak, Xu Jingzong bumped off the wagon shaft with his old legs, took out his waist token and handed it to the Cheng Wu Wei who came to him.

Cheng Wu Wei checked and turned it over. After confirming that it was correct, he handed it back to him. After waving to several military guards behind him, the carriage drove into the square.

Li Hong sat up from Xia Zhi's arms and looked at the military guards outside to check his waist tags. When the carriage was moving, Li Hong said, ”Tai Fu, the curfew is no longer than before. It seems that it is much looser. I'm afraid that officials of your rank have no problem getting in and out of the gate at night

”The prince joked. Although it has been relaxed a lot over the years, it is limited to a limited number of workshops. The city gate is absolutely indispensable. Without a warrant from the Imperial Palace, it is impossible for any official to enter or leave Chang'an city at night.” While talking, Xu Jingzong looked for the restaurant.

The speed of the carriage became more and more slow. Li Hong in the car poked his head out of the curtain and saw the door of a restaurant with bright lights and a lot of torches, which made the surrounding area as bright as day. Besides, there were many people around to watch the excitement.

Li Hong looked up again at the brightly lit second floor of the restaurant, and there were figures by several windows. From time to time, someone poked out his head and looked down.

”Prince...” Seeing that the carriage could no longer enter, Xu Jingzong whispered to the carriage.

”Wait a minute.” Li Hong was about to get out of the carriage when he heard the sound of neat footsteps from far to near.

At this time, a small team of chengwuwei rushed to this side. The sound of neat footstep attracted the onlookers. They could not help but make way for chengwuwei.

”Keep up with them and drive closer.” Li Hong said in the carriage.

Xu Jingzong quickly motioned for the coachman to follow the chengwuwei. Taking advantage of the gap between the crowd, he drove the carriage into the neutral position, which immediately aroused a burst of discontent among the surrounding people.

But looking at the style of the carriage, knowing that it must be a senior official, he hummed a few words in his heart with dissatisfaction, and continued to focus on the fun.

”Boy, don't think your father is here, I can't help you! I tell you, today is the king of heaven, and I can't take you away from me! ” He Lanmin gasped and looked at the figure lying on the ground like mud. He said fiercely.

Next to him, a man about 50 years old seems to be Xu ang, the son of Xu Jingzong. He quickly supported his son and sat on the ground. He raised his head and said to he lanminzhi, ”childe Helan, you have a large number of adults. I hope that for the sake of the young and ignorant dogs, please hold your hand high...”

”No sense?” He Lanmin scoffed and kicked him with arrogance. Xu Yanbo, who was held in his arms by Xu ang, sneered: ”they are all seventeen years old. Are you still sensible? Are your Xu family so late? Ha ha... ”

”Minzhi, today they are disrespectful. It's a terrible sight. After the lesson is over, just give it to the Ministry of punishment. Don't spoil our taste because of such a brute.” Wu yuanshuang stood aside and said with ease.

”That's no good, that's no good. His dead grandfather still has a way to save people. I see, put them in Dali temple or Zongzheng temple. In this way, I don't think I can save his dead grandfather.” Wu Yuanqing also said in a relaxed way.

On hearing this, Wu yuanshuang's eyes lit up and said excitedly, ”yes, close to the Zongzheng temple where you are the Shaoqing. I'll see who can save him! Ha ha... ”

The two people, regardless of the people around them and chatting with each other in succession, said in an arrogant manner to the extreme.

”I've met you all.” Just now, the team of Chengwu Wei was in Jiangdu, saluting the three people respectfully.

The place where the carriage is now parked is just able to see what happened on the scene. Looking at the arrogant appearance of he Lanmin and Wu Yuanqing and Wu yuanshuang, Li Hong can't help but look at Xu Jingzong standing in front of the carriage.

Under the light of the torch, an old face looked ruddy, but some blue and trembling lips betrayed Xu Jingzong's anger. A pair of muddy eyes, mixed with the reflection of the torch, is calm and deep.

”Your Highness, please make decisions for me.” Xu Jingzong sighed deeply, turned his head and said to the carriage.
