Chapter 089 Uncle! Give me back my car!
The prince's carriage is different from ordinary carriages.
Liu Ying was not a person who liked extravagance, but this carriage of his was custom-made for him by his minister Shusun Tong according to court ceremony. Liu Chang sat in the carriage, looking at the five tall horses in front of him, and he was reluctant to take his eyes off them. Although those horses were not of the same color, each of them was very tall and wore various decorations.
This was not the first time that Liu Chang rode in the prince's carriage, but it was the first time that he sat in the carriage alone. He ignored all etiquette and stood up directly, looking around proudly outside. Why was there no one passing by in the palace?
Luan Bu was also shocked when he saw the prince's carriage.
"Young Master... come down quickly!"
"Luan Bu is here! Look, am I not very majestic when driving this car?"
Luan Bu's face turned pale, "Master! You can't just sit in this carriage! This is the prince's carriage! Get off quickly!"
"What are you afraid of? This is what my second brother lent me! He let me sit on it. Who dares to say anything?"
"That's not possible...If the prince rides in the crown prince's carriage, it will cause great trouble."
"I am not afraid of trouble... My parents don't know anything about it. You come to drive for me. If my parents ask for punishment, you can be punished with me."
Liu Chang just looked at Luan Bu, waiting for his next reaction.
"Why do you want to ride in the prince's carriage?"
"I have my own plans."
"Ah..." Luan Bu sighed and sat helplessly in front of Liu Chang, driving for him. Liu Chang's face gradually became happy. He patted Luan Bu's shoulder happily and shouted, "Go! Go to the west of the city!"
Luan Bu drove the carriage, and the five horses pulled at the same time, and the carriage flew out suddenly.
Driving a car also requires skills, especially riding a large car pulled by multiple horses. Xiahou Zao's skills would never allow him to drive such a large car in his lifetime. Luan Bu is really a jack of all trades, he can do everything, and driving a car is not difficult for him.
Liu Chang stood on the carriage, feeling the wind and looking around proudly.
Under Liu Chang's order, Luan Bu drove all the way towards the west of the city .
"What exactly are you going to do, sir?"
"I'll tell you when I get there!"
They rushed all the way to the west of the city. At Liu Chang's order, Luan Bu parked the carriage outside a courtyard. Liu Chang jumped out of the carriage, kicked open the courtyard, and hurriedly said to Luan Bu: "Come in! Hurry up!"
Luan Bu drove the carriage in with a confused look on his face.
Liu Chang closed the door in a hurry.
"Sir, whose mansion is this?"
Luan Bu looked around with a confused look on his face.
"This is my sister's residence in Chang'an."
"Princess Lu Yuan's residence?"
"Yes, she's not here, so this place is empty... Luan Bu, come down."
Luan Bu stood in front of Liu Chang, looking at him with great solemnity, and said, "Sir, stealing the prince's carriage is a capital crime. The prince trusts you very much and loves you so much, but you want to steal his carriage. Such behavior is really despicable."
"Luan Bu, do you know why my father wanted to kill Xiao Xiang before?"
“I don’t know…”
"This is because the Prime Minister has an extremely high reputation and there is no higher title that can be bestowed upon him. Your Majesty is dealing with the Prime Minister in anticipation of the Crown Prince to intercede for him..."
Liu Chang applied Gai Gong's three questions to Luan Bu, and Luan Bu seemed to understand. He frowned and said nothing.
"Luan Bu, I can't just watch them kill each other. I have to solve this problem. I've come up with three strategies..."
Liu Chang finished talking about the three strategies, and said with a wry smile: "However, no matter what I say, brother is still the same, and he is not willing to change at all... I suddenly had an idea. I want to let my father know that the Lu family is no match for the Liu family, because I am still by my brother's side."
Luan Bu looked at Liu Chang with a different look in his eyes. "Did you come up with this on your own?"
"Yes... Luan Bu, if you still consider yourself my subject, please help me."
Liu Chang bowed to Luan Bu, who quickly moved away and gave a bigger bow.
"My lord, you have sacrificed your life for justice. How dare Luan Bu cherish his life? Please give me your orders!"
"Okay! You return to the palace now and, in my name, go to see my father... and then tell him that Lü Shizhi's two sons stole the prince's carriage."
Luan Bu was stunned. "What does the young master want to do? Do you want to get rid of Marquis Jiancheng?"
"No, although my uncle is stingy, he is good to me. I can't make my mother sad. I am protecting him."
…
Liu Bang sat on the bed tiredly, holding the bamboo slips in his hands.
He looked at the general beside him and asked, "Have they set off?"
This general was none other than Guan Ying, who was unwilling to give away his beloved dog. He was also one of the fiercest men in the Han Dynasty. Since following Liu Bang, he had never left his side and was deeply trusted by Liu Bang. He led the cavalry and won battle after battle. His bravery was no less than that of Xiahou Ying.
Guan Ying said seriously: "Your Majesty, they are preparing and will set out tomorrow..."
"Send someone to urge them to set off tonight!"
"only!"
"How's the Weiwei doing?"
"Wang Ling is ready and can take action at any time."
"What about Jiancheng?"
"Jin Xu, Guo Meng, Liu Ze, Liu Bi and others are all ready and are only waiting for your Majesty's order."
Liu Bang continued to lower his head and look at the bamboo slips in his hand.
At this moment, suddenly, there was a noise outside the door.
Liu Bang suddenly raised his head, Guan Ying stood in front of Liu Bang and looked outside the hall.
With a cry of surprise, a young man staggered in. The attendants chased him and knocked him to the ground again.
"Your Majesty! I have something to report! It concerns the young master! It is extremely important!"
The young man shouted, Liu Bang narrowed his eyes and quickly recognized him, "Luan Bu? Let him go, let him come over!"
Only then did Luan Bu break free from his attendants, walk up to Liu Bang, and bow deeply to him.
"Your Majesty! Something terrible has happened!"
"Huh? That guy got beaten up?"
"Today, the young master borrowed the prince's carriage to travel, but he ran into the twins of the Jiancheng Marquis family, who took the carriage away with their servants."
"What did you say?!"
At that moment, Luan Bu saw that Liu Bang seemed to be on fire. He said, "I'm not dead yet! How dare you rob me?"
But subconsciously, Liu Bang felt something was wrong. He looked at Luan Bu suspiciously, "Are you sure it was done by someone from the Jiancheng Marquis family?"
Luan Bu gritted his teeth and said, "I saw it with my own eyes, it is true!"
"Someone come, take him down!"
Several soldiers rushed in and pinned Luan Bu down. Liu Bang asked coldly, "What crime is it to alienate the royal family?"
"Death penalty." Luan Bu replied through gritted teeth.
"Drag him away and behead him."
Liu Bang waved his hand and looked at Guan Ying again. Guan Ying immediately understood and said, "I will give the order right away."
…
Lu Shizhi, who has been having a lot of bad luck recently, has long stopped staying at home sighing. He spends all day in the military camp and rarely goes home.
Just after returning home, Lu Shizhi took off his helmet and threw it aside tiredly.
His wife rushed forward and tried to help him take off his armor.
Lu Shizhi pushed her away and said unhappily, "I'll leave after I eat. You don't have to take off your armor."
The wife's eyes were filled with tears. "My dear, you have always frowned these days. No matter what I asked, you didn't answer. Now you don't even come home. Did I do something wrong?"
Lu Shizhi explained helplessly: "It's because of a big event, you won't understand... What's there to eat at home?"
As the two were talking, they suddenly heard the servants' screams and confusion coming from the courtyard.
Lu Shizhi was so frightened that his hands began to tremble. He suddenly drew his sword and rushed out of the inner room with gritted teeth.
When he rushed to the front yard with four soldiers, he saw Liu Chang holding a powerful crossbow and intimidating his servants.
Lu Shizhi breathed a sigh of relief, then became furious.
"You brat! What are you doing? Put down your crossbow!"
“Buzz~~~~”
The crossbow arrow flew past Lu Shizhi and directly hit the wooden door beside him.
At that moment, Lu Shizhi was terrified.
Liu Chang hurriedly loaded his arrows, while Fan Kang and Zhou Shengzhi on the side aimed their crossbows at Lu Shizhi.
Liu Chang pretended to be unable to deal with the crossbow arrow, so he threw it down angrily, pulled out a sharp sword from behind and pointed it at Lu Shizhi.
"uncle!!!"
"You'd better ask Lu Lu and Lu Zhong to return the stolen prince's carriage to me! Otherwise! I will tear this place down!"
There were dozens of children of all ages around Liu Chang, all holding weapons in their hands. Five or six older ones were holding crossbows, while the rest were holding sticks or stones. Lu Shizhi looked at them carefully and found that they were all children of noble families.
