The people around agreed with what Li Xiang said. You are just a small Tuyuhun prince, but you are so arrogant in front of the great Tang Dynasty. It is natural for our Royal Highness the Crown Prince to educate you.
But when everyone looked at Hou Junji, their eyes were not so kind. He is obviously the Duke of Tang, but after coming here, he makes trouble for His Highness everywhere. Is this what you should do?
"If you insult our prince, I will fight you."
Just when everyone thought that everything was fine, the guard who had not been injured just now actually rushed towards Li Xiang. This person also realized that all the guards had lost a hand, and he could not defeat Li Xiang's guards. While everyone was not paying attention to him, he wanted to seriously injure Li Xiang and restore the reputation of Tuyuhun.
Li Xiang's guards are all veterans, so how could he succeed? However, they received Li Xiang's order at the first time, and all of them did not move, pretending to be in a hurry. He was just a guard, and now is the time to establish his prestige. How could he let you steal my limelight?
Hou Junji was very skilled in martial arts, and if he wanted to help, he could have done so at this moment, but this guy was a little slow, allowing the Tuyuhun guard to get close to Li Xiang, and his fist was about to hit Li Xiang in the face.
It was at this time that Li Xiang grabbed his fist with an unbelievable look in his eyes. In his impression, although the Tang Dynasty was founded on military power, these royal descendants and nobles did not have much strength and were all just fancy moves. But at this moment, his fist could not move at all and was held tightly by Li Xiang.
Li Xiang grabbed his fist with his left hand and punched out with his right hand, hitting the guy so hard that he bent his body like a shrimp.
"His Royal Highness is mighty!"
The soldiers from the Ministry of War looked at this with their blood boiling.
"His Royal Highness is mighty!"
The people around also cheered, saying, "You launched a surprise attack, but instead of stealing food, you ended up losing the rice. Instead, you were beaten like this by us."
"I wanted to give you a chance to live, but I didn't expect you to barge in. You dare to offend the majesty of the Tang Dynasty. Today, I will kill you right here!
After Li Xiang finished speaking, he drew out his sword and was about to cut the guy's throat. At this moment, he had no strength left and could only watch Li Xiang's sword getting closer and closer to him.
"Your Highness, please wait. If you kill the guards of a friendly nation in broad daylight, something terrible might happen. Please think twice."
Hou Junji took action at this time and grabbed Li Xiang's arms tightly with both hands.
This man was just a guard, and Hou Junji would not care about his life or death. But if Li Xiang were to kill this man in public with so many people watching, then Li Xiang's prestige would definitely be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Although Hou Junji supported the prince, he did not support Li Xiang. In his eyes, the prince and Li Xiang were completely different things. His biological grandson was Li Jue, not Li Xiang, the illegitimate son.
Li Xiang knew that Hou Junji was extremely powerful, so he didn't confront him head-on. His current strength was not enough to catch up with him. Li Xiang smiled slightly and slowly loosened his hand. Hou Junji also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Of course I have to give General Hou face, so I will keep you..."
Everyone thought that Li Xiang would say to spare his life, but unexpectedly, when Hou Junji's hands left Li Xiang, Li Xiang instantly turned his waist knife around, stabbed it into the guy's chest, and stabbed it out from his back.
"A complete corpse."
After Li Xiang finished speaking, everyone understood what was going on. Li Xiang was not saying that he would spare your life, but that he would leave your body intact. He was going to chop off your head just now, but now he would stab you to death. The result would be the same, but no matter what, he gave Hou Junji face, at least he did not let this man's head and body be separated.
"you……"
Hou Junji was burning with anger at this moment. He was already furious. Li Xiang had made fun of him in front of everyone. He also thought that Li Xiang would give him face, but he didn't expect it to be such a face.
Li Xiang had a smile on his face as he gently pulled out his sword. The body of the Tuyuhun guard fell to the ground. Zatlk next to him was stunned. He didn't expect that Li Xiang would actually dare to kill someone, and in front of so many people.
Although Hou Junji's martial arts were amazing, Li Xiang had nothing to be afraid of. "Do you dare to attack him in public just for the sake of face?"
"Someone come."
Hou Junji's chest was heaving, and it was obvious that he was very angry. After he gave an order, a hundred or so personal soldiers of the Marquis' Mansion appeared behind him.
These people had a murderous aura, which was different from the Tuyuhun guards just now. They were covered in elite armor and had no expression on their faces. It was obvious that they were the elite men under Hou Junji.
"Your Highness, Changsun, has committed murder in public, a violation of the laws of the Tang Dynasty. As the Grand General of the Left Guard, I will arrest Your Highness and bring him to the Ministry of Justice today."
After Hou Junji finished speaking, his guards began to change their formations and surrounded Li Xiang's men in the middle. Hou Junji himself did not even move. He did not believe that Li Xiang could escape from his palm. He had just seen that Li Xiang's men were very capable. If he did not send out his personal soldiers, it would be difficult to capture Li Xiang.
Although Li Xiang was a royal relative, he killed people in public and so many people saw it. As long as Li Xiang was brought to the Ministry of Justice, it would be equivalent to initiating judicial proceedings. If Zatlk also made a fuss at the Court of Internal Affairs, the Tang Dynasty would have to give Tuyuhun an explanation no matter what.
"Your Highness was defending the dignity of the Tang Dynasty, and he attacked Your Highness first. Your Highness did nothing wrong."
"You are right, Your Highness did nothing wrong."
The people around were not blind. They saw what Li Xiang had just done. In addition to punishing these bad guys, these people also felt proud.
There are more and more Hu people in Chang'an City, and many of them do not follow the rules. They should have been disciplined long ago. His Royal Highness Changsun did this to sound a wake-up call to these people. The people of Chang'an City naturally support this very much, especially these foreign nobles. They committed crimes and the Lifanyuan protected them, which has long made many people dissatisfied.
"Take it."
Hou Junji didn't care what the people around him said. He himself didn't care about the opinions of the common people. Moreover, he had sufficient reasons today. Even if the emperor asked, he would have something to say to the emperor. He had to save face here today. Even if he was taken to the Ministry of Justice and acquitted, he had to arrest the person at this moment.
