Settled in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 349
Xue Lang's carriage had just left the gate of the inner city, not far from the gate of the city.In such a place... Xue Lang, who was sitting in the carriage, frowned, lifted the curtain and took a look——

Outside the car, a group of sergeants surrounded his carriage. King Qi rode on the horse, leading the horse, and said loudly: "Sis hid my concubine, so I will take away my son-in-law and replace him with someone else. Xue Shilang, please come with me!"

Xue Lang opened the door curtain and jumped out of the carriage without any fear. He just looked at King Qi with incredulous eyes: "Your Majesty, Xue is an official of the imperial court. Even if Your Majesty is a prince, you should think twice before you act."

This place is very close to the gate of the inner city. It can be said that it is within the range of the city gate. All ministers of the imperial court have to pass here to and from get off work. If you do anything to him in this place, King Qi must be insane, right?
Xue Lang looked at King Qi very speechlessly: "I don't know if the king has heard a saying? A scholar can be killed but not humiliated! Although Xue Lang comes from a humble background, he is not a slave who allows the king to shout and kill!"

Although King Qi is arrogant, his stomach is not full of reckless grass. He knew it was not good when he heard it. Not only did he not frighten Xue Lang, but now he is restrained by his rhetoric. It is said that Xue Shilang is sharp, and I have finally seen it today, but no matter how eloquent you are, today, I will take you in exchange for my princess! Come, take away!"

He actually intends to steer things in a silly direction!
"Presumptuous! Let me see who dares!"

Xue Lang shouted violently, his face was serious, his feet didn't move a bit, he just stood there, staring at the sergeant who was about to surround him, and said loudly: "My Xue Lang, Yufeng Kaiguo County Duke, the right servant of the Ministry of Civil Affairs of Shangshu Province, a saint Sealed personally by the imperial pen, appointed by the court, innocent and without proof, I want to see, who dares to touch me?"

The sergeants were frightened, they looked at each other, at each other, and at King Qi who was in charge.The king of Qi was furious, and the horsewhip in his hand smashed his head and covered his face, and he slammed it on his subordinates without hesitation, cursing: "How did I teach you in the past? Orders are prohibited, did I order to stop? Ah?"

The sergeants all shrank for a while, with fearful expressions on their faces, and quickly responded: "Here!"

When Xue Lang goes to and from get off work, except for Changjian and Wanfu who drives the car, he usually doesn't have a guard.Everyone is like this. They only bring personal servants to work. No one will travel with guards. After all, they work in the inner city. There are only national civil servants here. As imperial officials, in the inner city, except Saint, no one can endanger their safety, and no one thinks of bringing guards.

Xue Lang was the same, he did as the Romans did, and never thought of bringing guards with him.In addition to Chang Jian and Wan Fu, they were surrounded by a group of people brought by King Qi. Xue Lang didn't move, didn't even frown, just looked at King Qi like that, without saying a word, without avoiding or giving way. .

Chang Jian and Wan Fu looked at each other, and without saying a word, they stood in front of Xue Lang, Wan Fu held a whip in his hand, and Chang Jian used the bookcase on his back as a weapon, and stood in front of Xue Lang: "Don't worry, Da Lang, The little one will definitely protect Dalang with all his might!"

Changjian said while swallowing, if the calf does not tremble, it will be more convincing.Wanfu didn't tremble, but his tense voice was a little stiff: "Da Lang, so does the younger one."

Xue Lang patted them both: "Why worry! You two can't be responsible for my safety, get out of the way!"

"Forgive me for getting in the way!"

Although afraid, Changjian and Wanfu did not take a step back.Xue Lang sighed silently, looking at the sergeants who were gradually surrounding him, he was not afraid, but looked at King Qi with deep eyes, and sighed: "Everyone should be responsible for their own choices and actions, even the king No exceptions!"

King Qi snorted coldly, and was about to speak, when a sound of horseshoes came from far and near, and following the sound of hooves, a voice familiar to Xue Lang said angrily: "What do you want to do to my brother!"

It's Jiang Lin!He actually came!
Xue Lang's nervousness dissipated immediately, he waved his left hand, and said loudly: "Ah Lin, come quickly, these people want to kidnap me!"

"Who dares!"

Jiang Lin came galloping on a horse, and the horse galloped closer, but he didn't see Jiang Lin slowing down, he saw his whip whipping the horse's butt again and again, the horse was in pain, neighed sharply, and its four hooves were striding fast——

"Ah! Get out of here!"

The galloping fast horses startled the people surrounding Xue Lang into chaos, and the crowd avoided in a panic, unable to maintain the encircling formation any longer!
I didn't see Jiang Lin slowing down, but I saw him supporting the saddle with his hands, relying on his martial arts and excellent physical fitness, he retracted his legs on the horse, and jumped off the horse with his right palm and his body as light as a swallow. He patted the horse's neck casually, and the running horse, under his slap, hissed in pain, and its hoofs fell to the ground in panic!
This skill, this strength, made King Qi's eyes shine brightly, and Qi Qi, the sergeant who surrounded Xue Lang, changed his face, looking at Jiang Lin with monster-like eyes, fearful and afraid, and dared not come any closer.

Jiang Lin was like a god who descended suddenly, extremely powerful and majestic, and said word by word: "If you want to take my brother away, you have to pass Jiang's level first!"

As he said that, Jiang Lin looked around, and no one dared to look at him as far as he could see, and they all avoided him. Finally, Jiang Lin's eyes fixed on King Qi, looking at him quietly, his eyes were sharp and direct , no fear, no threat, as if looking at the air, King Qi is no different from others in his eyes!
Under the gaze of such calm eyes, King Qi had a look on his face that was a bit stern, and asked arrogantly, "You are Jiang Lin? The kid who competed with Lu Jing for his wife?"

Jiang Lin said solemnly: "Your Majesty's words are wrong. My wife and my servants have been engaged since childhood, so how can there be any talk of vying for it? Please also ask Your Majesty to learn from you. Your servant is a man from Lu. I don't care about fame, but my wife is a woman." , A woman's reputation is as precious as a thousand pieces of gold, and I dare not hurt it easily, I hope your majesty will be careful!"

King Qi sneered, and said: "Unexpectedly, you are a person who loves fragrance and cherishes jade, just like this king used to not expect Xue Shilang's righteous brother Jiang Lin to be such a brave and strong man! Good, excellent! This king appreciates you, may I To work in this palace?"

Jiang Lin clasped his fists and said, "Thank you for your appreciation, but the sage has issued an edict ordering his subordinates to be Sima of Qizhou, in charge of Qizhou's military affairs. Your majesty's love, I can only let you down!"

King Qi seemed to appreciate Jiang Lin very much, and persuaded him, "It's just a small Sima, how interesting it is to do it! Why don't you be the Sima of my palace, and all the men and horses of this king will be under your command. , isn't it more interesting than that little Qizhou Sima?"

Jiang Lin was unmoved: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, but the minister's ambition is not here, so His kindness can only be lived up to!"

King Qi was still waiting for a few more words of persuasion, when there was a chaotic sound of horseshoes coming from inside the city gate, along with the sound of horseshoes, and the sound of a carriage, before the people arrived: "Yuanji, what are you doing?"
