Under the night sky.
Four imperial carriages sped out from the main gates of the Imperial City. A small group of elite imperial guards dressed in black armor closely guarded the front, back, left, and right of the leading carriage.
Clearly, the person sitting in the first carriage had the most honorable status.
Upon closer inspection, the silhouette of the carriage was eighty percent similar to the "Don't Touch Me" from the Curious Pavilion. It was highly likely that the carriage had been modified from "Don't Touch Me".
"Imperial Father, I've heard that many students from Yanhuang College did not return home this year, instead spending the new year at the academy. With so many people gathered together, Yunshan should be very lively right now?"
Within the first carriage sat Li Er, Empress Zhangsun, and Princess Changle. Although Li Er's harem was not particularly large, if he had brought all of his concubines, even several dozen carriages would not be able to fit them all. Thus, he simply did not bring anyone, only bringing Zhangsun, the empress.
From this, it could be seen that Empress Zhangsun had an irreplaceable position in Li Er's heart.
"Haha! Of course Yunshan is lively! We previously heard that Li Zexuan had the students organize a dumpling making competition this afternoon. Ever since Qingque was born, she had never done anything like cooking. Unexpectedly, she was bewitched by that brat Li Zexuan to personally make dumplings. How preposterous! "
Li Er reclined on the sofa in the carriage, squinting his eyes as he spoke in a satisfied yet unhappy tone.
Next to him was a stove, causing the interior of the carriage to be as warm as spring.
"Dumplings? Imperial Father, what are dumplings? "
Changle's eyes brightened as she softly asked.
Li Er thought for a moment before replying, "These dumplings are wontons. However, it is a new name that Li Zexuan gave them. It is said that tonight is the Zi hour, the time for the new and the old. It has a special meaning. These dumplings just so happen to have the meaning of 'making friends at a younger age'! I didn't expect that brat to have such meticulous thoughts! "
Yanhuang College clearly had Old Li's eyes and ears. Otherwise, how could Li Er have such detailed information?
"Dumplings? Making friends at a younger age? This name is quite appropriate! "
Changle muttered to herself. Then, she couldn't help but chuckle.
"Father, with Brother Qingque's skills, Changle really wants to see what kind of dumplings he makes!"
Speaking of this, Empress Zhangsun couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle. "This empress also really wants to see Qing Que's dumplings!"
"Hey! I reckon you guys are looking down on them! Because those dumplings might have already entered the students' stomachs! "
…
"F * ck! Why are there so many people in front? "
"And there doesn't seem to be any movement! It seems like we can't go up Cloud Mountain? "
"Sigh! I should have come earlier! "
At the foot of Cloud Mountain, there was already a sea of people. At a rough glance, there were at least tens of thousands of people!
Previously, when Li Zexuan received the news, he hurriedly ordered to block the mountain path of Cloud Mountain. If so many people swarmed up, it was likely to cause trouble. Moreover, there were rows of flowing flames on the cement road outside Plum Village. It was obvious that more people were coming this way. Under such circumstances, he dared not open the mountain path.
It was not that he was stingy, but once there were too many people, it was easy to cause trouble. Last time, when he used public opinion to mobilize the people to destroy the Cui family, some hooligans took advantage of the situation to steal and molest the Cui family's maids. This was a very good example. Li Zexuan had always taken this as a warning in his heart!
Moreover, when the fireworks were set off later, the people would be able to see very clearly even if they stood at the foot of the mountain. There was no need for hundreds of thousands of people to swarm up Cloud Mountain.
"Hey, hey, hey! Commander Mo, it's me! It's me! Can't I go up too? "
At the entrance of the mountain path to Cloud Mountain, Mo Zhong and the academy's guards were maintaining order. Cloud Mountain was close to 200 meters above sea level. It was not considered high, but it was definitely not low either! At present, if one wanted to go up Cloud Mountain to Yanhuang College, this was the only way. They had set up a checkpoint here. It could be said that one man could hold the pass against ten thousand people!
At this moment, a young man suddenly squeezed out of the crowd. Behind the young man stood a middle-aged couple. Although they were dressed ordinarily, their aura could not be concealed.
"Chu Yanfu?"
Mo Zhong had stayed in Yanhuang College for so long that he was familiar with most of the students. He fixed his eyes on the young man. Who else could it be but Chu Yanfu? This child went home two days ago to prepare for the New Year. He did not expect to return to Cloud Mountain today! As for the couple behind him, their identities were even more obvious.
"Mo Zhong pays his respects to Assistant Minister Chu!"
Mo Zhong clasped his fist and bowed to Chu Suiliang.
"Haha! This old man is just here to watch the fun. Commander Mo, you don't have to be so courteous! "
Chu Suiliang did not put on any airs. He stroked his beard and said with a smile.
"Yanfu, Yamachō said that if the students of the academy want to go back to the academy at night, they are allowed to do so! And they can bring their families along! You and Assistant Minister Chu go up quickly! "
Mo Zhong nodded and said to Chu Yanfu with a smile.
Chu Yanfu thanked him happily and hurriedly brought his parents up the mountain.
The crowd of onlookers was naturally envious. Those who had children at home were muttering in their hearts. Next year, they must let their children get into Yanhuang College! Not only would they have a bright future, but they would also receive special treatment everywhere.
Although the commoners were envious, they did not feel indignant and use this as an excuse to cause trouble. After all, the students were going back to their own academy.
"Young Master, what should we do? They only allowed Yanhuang College students to go up the mountain. We can't go up! "
Xiao Shi, the maidservant of the Lin family, ran over to the carriage at the back and said. There were two carriages parked in an open space by the roadside.
"Since we can't go up, then let's watch from the foot of the mountain!"
Before Lin Hao could say anything, Lin Wenyuan, who was in the carriage in front, said.
"Father! Don't! Let me go up and talk to the guards of the academy! "
Lin Hao was not willing to just watch the fireworks at the foot of the mountain. He jumped off the carriage and "volunteered".
After saying that, he lifted his feet and walked towards the mountain path.
"Young Brother, Yunshan is not receiving guests today. Please forgive me and stop!"
Mo Zhong immediately recognized that Lin Hao was not a student of the academy. He blocked the way and spoke in an elegant but not polite manner.
Lin Hao came prepared. How could he retreat because of this small setback? He rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Hehe! Big Brother, although I'm not a student of Yanhuang College, my master is Han Li. He's a student of Yanhuang College. So, I'm also a student of Yanhuang College! Big Brother, please let me in! "
"Han Li?"
Mo Zhong muttered doubtfully. Then, he quickly tried to recall if there was a student named Han Li in the academy. After a while, he shook his head and said with some displeasure, "Young Brother, don't make fun of me. There's no student named Han Li in the academy!"
There was a hint of anger in his words. Obviously, he thought that the young man in front of him was making fun of him!
"Ah? That's impossible! I've asked around. My master's master is a disciple of the Yamachō of Yanhuang College. Big Brother, you must have heard of him! Think about it again! "
Lin Hao was dumbfounded. Then, he remembered Iron Egg's other special identity and quickly said, "Young Brother, please leave quickly.
"Little brother, please leave quickly and don't cause trouble here … The disciple of the headmaster? Are you talking about Bruiser?"
When Mo Zhong saw Lin Hao trying to defend himself, he subconsciously wanted to scold him to leave. But when he heard Lin Hao say that Han Li was a "Yamachō's disciple", he changed his words.
"Yes, yes, yes! My master's nickname is Iron Egg! "
Lin Hao said excitedly.
Mo Zhong patted his forehead. Only then did he remember that Iron Egg's real name was Han Li. It was only because the people around him usually called him "Iron Egg" that he didn't remember it at first!
"That won't do! Yamachō only said that the family members of the students can go up the mountain. They didn't say that the students' disciples can go up the mountain as well! "
Mo Zhong's expression turned serious as he refused righteously.
In fact, the main reason was that he wasn't sure what the relationship between Lin Hao and Iron Egg was. If he let him go rashly, then if someone came later and said that he was a student's disciple, would he let him go?
He couldn't allow this to happen!
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! A group of unruly people, get out of the way! "
At this moment, the crowd seemed to be separated by a powerful force. A luxuriously dressed young man, who was protected by a group of soldiers in black armor, walked towards Mo Zhong.
"Hey! Non-students of Yanhuang College can't enter? How arrogant! This King is going in today. Let's see who dares to stop me! "
The luxuriously dressed young man looked at the wooden sign next to Mo Zhong and said arrogantly with a sneer.
As soon as he finished speaking, he ignored Mo Zhong and the others and walked towards them!
When Mo Zhong heard this young man call himself "King," his eyes narrowed. However, he had been in the bitter cold for a long time and had only been in Chang 'an for half a year. He wasn't familiar with some of the nobles in the current dynasty, let alone the young man in front of him!
"It's His Highness, the King of Lu!"
"The King of Lu? The academy's guards are in trouble! "
"Back off! Don't fight later! "
The King of Lu, Li Yuanchang!
This young man was Li Er's half-brother, the King of Lu, Li Yuanchang!
Mo Zhong didn't recognize this person, but the people around him did. Someone shouted, and the crowd became restless. The people quickly backed off. Obviously, they were quite afraid of this King of Lu!
(At this time, Li Yuanchang was still using the title of the third year of Wude. According to history, in the tenth year of Zhenguan, he would be changed to the King of Han by Li Er! Now, the King of Han title is still used by Li Ke!)
"Your Highness, you can't go up. The Yamachō has …"
"How dare you! What Yamachō? Yamachō? Li Zexuan is just an official. Even if he was here, he wouldn't dare to talk to this King like this! If you know what's good for you, you'd better get out of the way. Otherwise, if you lose an arm or a leg, this King won't be responsible! "
Li Yuanchang said rudely to Mo Zhong with his nose in the air.
Mo Zhong's expression changed, but he still braced himself and said, "The headmaster has ordered that Your Highness, Prince of Lu, you cannot go up the mountain. However, I can pass the message on your behalf. Your Highness, please wait here for a moment!"
"Get lost! You want this King to wait for Li Zexuan's permission? In your dreams! Ha! You still dare to hide? You're just a f * cking dog raised by Li Zexuan. You still dare to hide? Guards! Take him down! This King wants to see how you're going to hide later! "
Li Yuanchang shouted angrily and raised his foot to kick Mo Zhong. However, Mo Zhong instinctively dodged. This made him even angrier. He pointed at Mo Zhong and shouted angrily.
Actually, he wanted to slap Mo Zhong, but he couldn't reach him! He was only one year older than Li Tai. Naturally, he couldn't be compared to adults like Mo Zhong!
"Yes, sir!"
The guards beside Li Yuanchang answered loudly. Then, there was the sound of metal clanging. These guards unsheathed their Mo swords at the same time and slashed at Mo Zhong!
Obviously, they could tell that Mo Zhong was a martial artist and wanted to injure him before capturing him!
"Protect the commander!"
Mo Zhong and the other guards of the academy were facing a great enemy. They weren't afraid of these guards, but behind them was Li Zexuan. They couldn't help but be afraid. If they attacked too hard, they would create a great enemy for Li Zexuan. If they were captured without a fight, what awaited them would be endless humiliation from Li Yuanchang. As the guards of Yanhuang College, they were also the face of the academy. If they were humiliated by Li Yuanchang in front of so many people, wouldn't the dignity of Yanhuang College be trampled on by Li Yuanchang?
Under all kinds of scruples, Mo Zhong and the others didn't dare to use their full strength. They only dodged the attacks of Li Zexuan's guards while praying in their hearts that Li Zexuan would come quickly!
"Damn! No, it's Chinese New Year. We're just here to watch the fireworks. Let's talk nicely. Why fight? "
Lin Hao was shocked. He didn't know any martial arts, so he hurriedly ran away. At this time, he couldn't help but look in Li Yuanchang's direction and complain.
On the other side, as time passed, the battle became more and more intense. The guards brought by Li Yuanchang weren't idiots. Mo Zhong and the others who were afraid and didn't dare to use their full strength had a hard time dodging. There were already several light cuts on their bodies.
"Hmph! Who dares to be so presumptuous in Yunshan? All of you, stop! "
Under the ardent expectations of Mo Zhong and the others, Li Zexuan finally arrived! The people at the foot of the mountain only heard a muffled snort. Then, a series of blurry figures appeared on the mountain path. In the next moment, Li Zexuan stood between Mo Zhong and Li Yuanchang. The guards brought by Li Yuanchang had been sent flying in all directions!
"Bang, bang, bang!"
All of this happened in the blink of an eye. Before Li Yuanchang could react, all of his guards had already landed heavily on the ground.
He was instantly horrified. He pointed at Li Zexuan and said, "How … How presumptuous! You … You dare to hurt the people brought by this prince … You … What's your name? Quickly … tell me your name! This prince won't let you go! "
"Idiot!"
Li Zexuan was both angry and disdainful. This kid was obviously scared to death, but he was still talking nonsense and threatening him. He was really looking for trouble!
"Hmph! Who gave you the courage to cause trouble in Yunshan? Get back to the palace! "
Li Zexuan was about to speak when Li Er's voice came from behind the crowd. Then, Li Er angrily walked out with Empress Zhangsun, Changle, and the others!
