The Lone Star of the Tang Dynasty

On the bustling streets of Chang'an City, a middle-aged man with a height of nine feet attracted everyone's attention.

He was followed by several carriages, surrounded by dozens of guards, and such a battle was obviously extraordinary.

The crowd of onlookers began to speculate about the identity of the middle-aged man.

Soon, someone recognized him. "This is General Lee. Someone whispered.

"Which general?" someone asked curiously.

"Which one do you ask? Of course, it's General Li Jing!"

Hearing the name, the crowd of onlookers immediately became quiet, and no one dared to speak.

They knew that this general was Emperor Li Er's right-hand man and was deeply trusted, and he was a military general with great power.

Cui Zhengde was also in this crowd of onlookers, and he was very confused when he saw General Li Jing appear. He is just a son-in-law of the Cui family, and he has nothing to do with Li Jing, so he doesn't understand why Li Jing is here.

Li Jing walked up to Cui Zhengde and raised his hand lightly.

"Smack!".

A slap hit Cui Zhengde in the face hard, and the force was so great that Cui Zhengde could barely bear it. His face immediately swollen to the height of a finger, and the pain was so severe that he could barely breathe.

"General Li, why did you beat me?" asked Cui Zhengde, holding back the pain.

Li Jing raised his hand again and slapped it again. "Come, take away. He commanded.

Fifty or sixty Xuanjia soldiers immediately took action, and they quickly subdued Cui Zhengde's guards and companions and took Cui Zhengde away.

The rest of the squires tried to resist, but were kicked down by the Xuanjia Army, and then knocked unconscious by the halberd.

All the guards were stunned, they knew that the Xuanjia Army was doing something, who would dare to stop it?

Li Jing stood at the door of Li Changge's shop and said to the shopkeeper with a smile: "There are some bullies in Chang'an City, and the owner is frightened. Bring gifts another day, and Li Jing will personally come to make amends for the owner. After speaking, he turned around and left, and the Xuanjia Army escorted Cui Zhengde to follow him.

The crowd of onlookers was talking, not understanding what was going on.

In the whispers of passers-by and the whispered reminders of the maids, Li Changge confirmed the identity of the comer-Li Jing, a world-famous general in the early years of the Tang Dynasty.

He knew that in that era when the Turks frequently invaded the border and the people lived in dire straits, Li Shimin was furious, decisively removed the incompetent general Luo Yi and others, and personally planned a protracted war to destroy the country. In the end, it was Li Jing, with his outstanding resourcefulness and bravery, who disintegrated the internal forces of the Turks, completely defeated them in one fell swoop, and brought long-term peace to the Tang frontier.

Therefore, Li Changge has no doubt about Li Shimin's reliance on Li Jing, and only a general with great achievements like Li Jing can silence hundreds of thousands of people on the bustling shop streets without making a sound just by appearing.

At this moment, this important minister of the imperial court actually came to the downtown in person to participate in the people's action of cracking down on gangsters and eliminating evil, which made Li Changge suspicious. Especially Li Jing's meaningful words just now, it seems to indicate that there is an unknown power struggle hidden behind it. Li Changge deduced that this might be a game between wealthy families, and he might just be a bystander in this chess game. Despite this, he tried his best to appease the frightened maid and decided to suspend the business for the day and persuade the customers to leave the store so as not to get innocently involved in the dispute.

Qin Ruochan watched all this quietly on the side, her female companion Du Lian'er looked nervous, and asked with a pale face: "Ruochan, what is going on? Why is Master Li here? This young master of the Cui family is not ......

."

Qin Ruochan responded with a wry smile: "Uncle Li's appearance on the streets of Chang'an this time must have its far-reaching mysteries, and I don't know the specific details. As Qin Shubao's daughter, she naturally knows that her father and Li Jing are both under Li Er's command, although the two are from different backgrounds, they are both Li Shimin's henchmen, and they also have a lot of intersections in private.

Qin Ruochan's impression of Li Jing has always been a deep, introverted, serious and old-fashioned person, who never acts meaninglessly. Now I see him personally involved in market disputes and act righteously, which really makes people feel quite strange.

Cui Zhengde, the son of the famous Qinghe Cui family, is almost as famous as Li Jing.

This confrontation in front of Yunshang made Qin Ruochan can't help but think of an undercurrent in the court.

She speculated that perhaps His Majesty was already preparing to make a move against the Cui family, and maybe even pointed a sword at the entire Five Surnames and Seven Wangmen Valve Alliance.

This issue has long been discussed in the Li Shimin faction to which Qin Qiong belongs, and it is only because of the fear of turmoil in the world that His Majesty has not made up his mind for a long time, but it seems that he has a comprehensive plan now.

However, Qin Ruochan also thought of another possibility--does this Yunshang Youyou boss have a noble identity behind him, such as the prince left behind by Li Shimin? Although this idea is almost fantastical, after all, how can a prince of His Majesty be so annoying? Moreover, judging from his considerate care of the maid, this conjecture seems to be ruled out. Although she still has a lot of bad feelings towards this Yunshang Youyou, she also has to admit that the other party's attitude towards her subordinates makes her heart flash a trace of goodwill.

As this conflict gradually subsided, Qin Ruochan and her female companion Du Lian'er quietly left the street, leaving Li Jing's calm and majestic figure.

Throughout the arrest process, Li Jing was silent, only throwing a gentle smile at Li Changge and comforting him.

In the face of Cui Zhengde's hysterical shouts, Li Jing was expressionless until he was escorted into the carriage and looked at him indifferently.

"What's your name, do you feel wronged?" asked Li Jing.

When Cui Zhengde heard that Li Jing finally spoke, instead of being afraid, a sneer rose at the corner of his mouth: "General Li, it's just that I'm wronged alone, but I, Qinghe Cui, have always used poetry and books to pass on family and behave. Why did General Li bully others and wronged my Qinghe Cui family?" "His confidence comes from the huge power and far-reaching influence of the Cui family, and he knows that once he loses the support of the Cui family, Li Er's country will also be shaken, and he thinks that Li Er will not dare to move the Cui family easily, isn't Li Jing's move to kill himself?

Li Jing only smiled faintly at this, and responded calmly: "If there is any grievance, it is not too late to appeal when you go to Dali Temple."

Hearing the words "Dali Temple," Cui Zhengde couldn't help but be stunned, could it be that this was not what Li Jing meant, but that he had inadvertently offended a certain new official of Dali Temple and wanted to use it to establish his authority? Or, was there a deeper political game hidden behind this? Throwing off these distracting thoughts, Cui Zhengde forced himself to calm down and ......
