Chapter 18: A resounding slap in the face

Duan Zhenggang saw Li Zhen's eyes cold, but he seemed to be pondering, and he was happy in his heart.

I'm scared!

Li Zhen must have been scared!

Duan Zhenggang thought that he had frightened Li Zhen, and roared with all his might: "Li Zhen, if you offend me, you will offend the prince." Once the prince is angry, let alone talk about things, he can't even go back to the Jiangbei camp. If you let me go at once, and kneel down to apologize to me, I can say a few kind words for you in front of the prince. ”

"Death without repentance!"

Li Zhen's eyes were cold, and he beckoned: "Shihai, press him over." Huang Shihai walked to Li Zhen's side with Duan Zhenggang and asked, "My lord, what are your orders?" ”

"Smack!!"

Li Zhen didn't answer, and slapped Duan Zhenggang's right cheek.

"Li Zhen, you, you, you are looking for death!"

Huang Shihai's eyes widened, revealing an incredulous expression.

Li Zhen leaned on the chair, cocked Erlang's legs, hooked Duan Zhenggang's chin with his toes, and said unhurriedly: "I haven't repented until now, and I can't even figure out the basic situation, what a fool!" ”

Duan Zhenggang's face was covered with bright red finger prints, and the corners of his mouth were bloody.

This slap knocked Duan Zhenggang's head unconscious, and his ears buzzed. He shook his head, avoided Li Zhen's toes, stared at Li Zhen viciously, endured waves of pain, and yelled like a shrew scolding the street: "Li Zhen, you dare to hit me." Ben will tell you that the prince will not let you go. ”

Li Zhen snorted coldly, beckoned, and commanded: "Palm!" ”

"Smack! Syllable! ”

Huang Shihai picked up Duan Zhenggang, and his fan-like palm slapped Duan Zhenggang's face.

In the blink of an eye, Duan Zhenggang's cheeks were already red and swollen, and his cheeks became panda faces, red and like monkey buttocks. Especially with tears in his eyes, he was extremely aggrieved.

Li Zhen smiled and said, "General Duan, how is it, are you comfortable?" ”

Duan Zhenggang had already vomited blood from his mouth, and he didn't look like a man. He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood foam, his throat squirmed twice, and he wanted to scold Li Zhen, but thinking of Li Zhen's tough methods, he didn't dare to speak.

At this moment, Duan Zhenggang's arrogance was gone.

With a faint smile, Li Zhen said: "General Duan, you intend to kill me, prevent the general from negotiating with the East King, regardless of the lives of 10,000 soldiers, the East King will not help you against me, and will punish you." The two of us are acting at the gate of the city, and the whole city knows about it, and I believe that the king of the east will know it soon, and he will know the result after waiting patiently. ”

After Duan Zheng heard this, he chuckled in his heart.

It seems that what he said has crossed the line a bit and has crossed the bottom line. Li Zhen leaned back in the chair, and when he saw Duan Zhenggang's eyes showing a look of horror, he knew that this guy was frightened by him.

"Da! Da! ”

Soon, there was a sound of horses' hooves, and a group of soldiers galloped in.

The leader is Zhao Qingquan, who came on behalf of Yang Xiuqing.

After approaching the city gate, Zhao Qingquan turned over and dismounted, strode to Li Zhen's side, and his eyes swept over Duan Zhenggang. Zhao Qingquan saw that Duan Zhenggang was beaten to an inhuman appearance, his eyes also became fierce, and he shouted in a deep voice: "General Li, you are from the Qing Dynasty, but you are reckless in Nanjing, do you really think that the prince will not dare to kill you?" ”

Li Zhen asked lightly, "Who is Your Excellency?" ”

"In Xia Zhao Qingquan, there is just a small staff member under the East King's account." Zhao Qingquan worked under Yang Xiuqing and made great contributions, Yang Xiuqing repeatedly wanted to add an official to Zhao Qingquan, but Zhao Qingquan refused.

Although Zhao Qingquan has no official position or position, no one dares to provoke him.

Li Zhen sneered: "It turned out to be Mr. Zhao, it's polite." Mr. Zhao, on behalf of the East King, would like to ask, does the East King want to exchange for the 10,000 soldiers of the Jiangbei camp? I arrived in Nanjing with the escort, and just as I was about to enter the city, I was stopped by Duan Zhenggang and others, especially Duan Zhenggang made a threat, saying that he would kill me, is this the hospitality of the East King? ”

Zhao Qingquan secretly hated Li Zhen for being arrogant and arrogant, but secretly scolded Duan Zhenggang for being a fool.

When discussing matters in the main hall, he made it clear that Li Zhen could not be killed. Duan Zhenggang threatened Li Zhen and fell into the handle, didn't he put his face up and slapped Li Zhen?

Idiot!

What an idiot!

Zhao Qingquan's eyes rolled, and he said coldly: "General Li, Duan Zhenggang said wildly, it is indeed rude. But you can report this matter to the East King, and you shouldn't do it outside Tianjing City. I hope that General Li will figure out that this is Tianjing, the capital of the Celestial Empire, not a place where Qing demons are rampant. ”

After a pause, Zhao Qingquan said again: "You have to make it clear, you are an enemy of the Celestial Empire, you belong to different camps, and you have no right to punish Duan Zhenggang." I hope that General Li will take this as a warning and don't think that he can act arbitrarily in Tianjing. ”

Li Zhenxiao asked, "Mr. Zhao, I invite you to Jiangbei camp, will you go?" ”

Zhao Qingquan raised his eyebrows, revealing a puzzled look.

But Zhao Qingquan did not hesitate, and immediately retorted: "I am a citizen of the Heavenly Dynasty, a minister under the account of the East King, how can I go to the camp in Jiangbei?" If you really go to the Jiangbei camp, you will also destroy Qishan and capture the Jiangbei camp, otherwise you will never set foot in the Jiangbei camp. ”

Li Zhen gave a thumbs up and said, "Mr. Zhao is really a hero. ”

Zhao Qingquan held his head high, and a hint of arrogance flashed on his face.

Li Zhen said nonchalantly: "Mr. Zhao knows that he doesn't want to do what he doesn't want, why should I go against my will?" Duan Zhenggang wanted to arrest Ben Jiang, but of course Ben Jiang wanted to resist. Mr. Zhao is a person who understands and knows that it is reasonable for me to fight back. As for letting the guards slap Duan Zhenggang, it is to shut up and don't cause trouble for the East King, this is a good heart! ”

Zhao Qingquan suddenly realized and understood Li Zhen's intentions.

went around in a circle, but it was to fight back against him.

Zhao Qingquan cheered up and didn't dare to take it lightly. He glared at Duan Zhenggang fiercely, with a look of hatred on his face, and said helplessly: "General Li, the prince is waiting in the mansion, please!" ”

"Please!"

Li Zhen no longer entangled, and followed the soldiers who led the way towards the East Palace.

Huang Shihai let go of Duan Zhenggang and followed behind Li Zhen with guards to protect Li Zhen's safety. Duan Zhenggang suffered a lot of humiliation, and his heart was full of resentment, and he wanted to kill Li Zhen. However, he didn't dare to sabotage Yang Xiuqing's big event, so he could only suppress the hatred in his heart and find an opportunity to seek revenge in the future. Duan Zhenggang didn't even dare to meet Zhao Qingquan's gaze, and walked forward with his head down.

Zhao Qingquan said in a low voice: "General Duan, you look like you are difficult to see, so avoid it for the time being." ”

Duan Zhenggang was stunned for a moment, with a look of shame and anger on his face.

He opened his mouth to speak, but sighed and left without saying a word. Zhao Qingquan snorted, secretly saying that Duan Zhenggang was not enough to succeed and more than he could lose, and then strode towards the East Palace.

In the East Palace, the soldiers guarding the door were fierce and burly, their eyes were like knives, and there was a faint killing intent on their bodies.

Undoubtedly, this is the soldier Yang Xiuqing supporting the scene.

Li Zhen swept his eyes, his expression did not move, and continued to walk towards the palace hall. Just halfway through, I found a cauldron filled with boiling water on the way to the main hall. It's a hot summer day, and as I pass by the cauldron, a heat wave hits, and it's very hot. Li Zhen walked steadily and continued to move forward.

This kind of scary little trick is not a cause for concern.

Huang Shihai and the accompanying guards were extremely nervous and very worried.

Zhao Qingquan saw that Li Zhen was not affected, and secretly said that Li Zhen was a character. There was a contemplative look on his face, and he felt that the matter of recovering 10,000 soldiers was a bit tricky, and he was afraid that he could not take it back easily.

The palace hall is magnificent and magnificent.

When Li Zhen came to the door of the main hall, someone immediately blocked the way. Li Zhen asked Huang Shihai to stay, and entered the main hall with Zhao Qingquan. Li Zhen walked to the center of the hall and arched his hand and said, "Li Zhen, the general of the Qing Dynasty, has seen the King of the East!" ”

"Bastard, why don't you kneel when you see the prince?"

In the silent hall, a loud shout suddenly sounded.

This roar was thick and loud, like a sudden thunder, which frightened many of the ministers in the main hall to tremble. Li Zhen had already been prepared, his expression was as usual, not only did he not panic, but he smiled and looked at Yang Xiuqing with neither humility nor arrogance. Yang Xiuqing also didn't speak, looking at Li Zhen.

"Bold, don't kneel yet?"

Li Zhen didn't reply, and another Wenchen stood up and shouted.
