Chapter 469 Princess Minghui
Chapter 469 Princess Minghui
Si He and others followed the waiter upstairs without stopping, while the guests in the lobby turned their heads and looked out the window. It turned out that a group of people with extraordinary identities had arrived, and the scene was very grand.
After Si He and the others went upstairs, the large carriage stopped outside the inn, obviously intending to stay overnight in this inn.
After all, it was getting late and there was no other good place to stay nearby.
However, when they stopped in front of the inn, they saw several guards guarding the horses next to the inn, and their eyes suddenly froze.
Because the guards had the Yue family's logo on their clothes.
After a while, a young woman got off the carriage. She was wearing a luxurious brocade dress with a phoenix embroidered with gold thread on the hem. She had a noble temperament and a hint of inviolable majesty.
When she looked at the Yue family guards, hatred flashed in her eyes.
Upstairs, as Si He entered the guest room, she heard the sound of fighting coming from downstairs. She paused, and a small group of guards guarding the corridor sent out a small group of people and hurried downstairs.
Because they heard their fellow innkeepers calling out, someone was causing trouble!
After a while, a guard came up hurriedly, bowed to Si He, and said, "My lord, Princess Minghui has summoned you and is ordering the punishment of the subordinates who are guarding the horses. The reason for the punishment is that they were disrespectful to the princess and did not pay their respects promptly."
"Princess Minghui?" Si He frowned slightly. How could such a dignified princess appear in this desolate place?
"Does the Yue family have any grudge against this princess?"
Although I didn't see it, I could tell that the princess was deliberately looking for trouble.
The guard said truthfully, "Princess Minghui's husband was Li Quan, the son of the Liangzhou governor. He died some time ago in the conflict between Jizhou and Liangzhou, and because of this, he had a grudge against the lord."
Si He narrowed her eyes slightly. It turned out that the princess' husband had died, but she couldn't do anything to Yue Fuli, so she took her anger out on the Yue family.
Punishing the guards was just an excuse. The princess's target was her, or rather, no matter which member of the Yue family she met on the road, she had to vent her anger.
At this time, the fighting outside had stopped and they were in a stalemate, waiting for her to come down and give an explanation.
Si He thought about it, then took out a piece of cloth, covered her face, and then walked out, followed by the guards.
Seeing this, some tenants along the way couldn't help but stick their heads out to look. After the people went downstairs, they followed them down to see what was going on.
After Si He led her people downstairs, the people in the lobby all looked at them with an interesting look in their eyes. You know, the person coming outside is a princess, who had just proudly revealed her identity, and their identity as a member of the Yue family was also known to everyone.
The backgrounds of both parties are extraordinary, and now they are fighting. It is so lively that you can't see it normally.
It was getting darker at this time, but Princess Minghui had lit a lot of torches and placed them around the entrance of the inn, making the place much brighter.
When Si He walked out of the inn, she saw several of her guards with knives at their necks being held by the princess's men. After all, the other side had a large number of people, hundreds of them, and relying on the princess's status, the guards did not dare to move without the master's orders, so they only resisted and did not use any brutal force.
"Who is causing trouble here? How dare you arrest my guards?"
After learning about the dispute between the princess and the Yue family, Si He became blunt in her words. Since the other party was deliberately looking for trouble, this matter would not end well.
The accompanying guards received her instructions and immediately surrounded the people who kidnapped their guards. For a moment, both sides drew their knives.
In order to protect Princess Minghui, her people were forced to retreat to her side, and the two groups were in a state of confrontation.
Princess Minghui immediately looked at Si He angrily, "Who are you? How dare you! You don't even bow and kneel before me? You even dared to have your men draw their swords!"
Si He raised an eyebrow and said, "In this desolate place, you say you are a princess, so you are?"
Princess Minghui's eyes widened in disbelief. A maidservant beside her angrily shouted, "Who are you to the Yue family? How dare you be so presumptuous! This is our honored Princess Minghui. Why don't you kneel down and kowtow to apologize?"
Si He chuckled, "Who said we are from the Yue family?"
Princess Minghui laughed in anger, "Do you think we're blind? These bastards are wearing clothes with the Yue family logo on them!"
Si He said, "You really don't have good eyesight. Not only are you deliberately looking for trouble, but you're also calling a horse a zebra. However, don't think you can act recklessly just because you're in numbers. If a fight breaks out, you might not end up in a good situation. I'm afraid there are many people in the nearby hills who are interested in big fat sheep like you."
Her words were full of threats and her attitude was tough, but there was some truth in her words. It was already dark, and there were indeed many bandits in this area. There was no guarantee that there were really bandits lurking nearby. If the two sides fought and there were serious casualties, it was very likely that someone would take advantage of the situation to rob them!
Princess Minghui and the others also understood this truth immediately. For a moment, their faces looked very ugly. Princess Minghui was so angry that her chest heaved, because in her lifetime, the few times she suffered from bullying were basically from the Yue family!
The King of Eastern Han had never given face to the royal family before, and her husband had died in a dispute with Yue Fuli a few days ago. She had wanted to return to Zhongjing to file a complaint, but on the way, she met the damn Yue family again!
Although they didn't admit it, this arrogant attitude could probably only be shown by the Yue family. Who else would pretend to be a member of the Yue family?
Moreover, the skills and postures of these guards are exactly the same as those of the Yue family guards seen before.
However, before Minghui could say anything, Si He gave a look to the guards beside him, and they immediately stepped forward and took the knives out of the hands of the surrounded people.
They moved extremely quickly, like lightning, and attacked, shocking the other party. However, because they had not received the princess's order, they did not dare to kill the hostages easily. So under the siege, several knives fell to the ground with a "bang", and then they started fighting. But in the blink of an eye, they were knocked to the ground because there were so many people besieging them.
Princess Minghui was horrified, and the guards around her were about to rush forward, but Si He picked up a knife from the ground and said coldly: "Whoever dares to come forward will be killed!"
Princess Minghui's guards paused and looked at their princess, waiting for orders.
Princess Minghui was almost mad with rage at this point, gritting her teeth and saying, "How dare you!"
Si He said: "Then you try it!"
After saying that, she turned her wrist and swung the long sword in her hand. As it cut through the air, a "whoosh" sound was made. The gesture showed that she was ready to take action herself.
Gao You, Gao You and her guards were shocked and immediately drew their swords. The sound of swords being drawn could be heard and they all stood beside her with a fierce look on their faces.
