Behind the young men in embroidered clothes, the guards who were acting violently just now were now being carried by others. They were wailing incessantly, and one of their legs was bent at a strange angle.
Li Xuan's guards walked over from behind and stood quietly behind him. Their faces regained their calm expression, as if they were not the ones who broke someone's leg just now.
At this time, the difference between professional guards and non-professionals was reflected. Li Yi once again realized the importance of bringing a few reliable bodyguards when he went out.
People like Miss.Liu who were always missing at critical moments would definitely starve to death in this line of work.
"Brother Licheng, it's them!" The leading young man in embroidered clothes pointed at Li Yi and the others, and said loudly to the young man beside him.
After saying that, he gritted his teeth and looked at the little fatty opposite him, who had his head held high and chest out, as if his eyes were about to spit fire.
"It's just child's play. Don't you think you've gone too far by doing this?" The young man walked forward and looked at Li Yi with a frown.
As he spoke, he was also sizing up the people opposite him. In the capital city, he knew all the young men of similar age with a background. He even met a few of the Emperor's princes a few times. These two people obviously did not belong to any of them.
However, they dared to ignore High Duke Chen's Residence. The dignity of a High Duke was only worth a leg in their eyes. If they did not really have a powerful background, then they were lunatics.
However, before figuring out the identity of the other party, he would not go too far. He first tried to sound them out.
Seeing that the other party was frowning and looking at him as if he wanted to seek justice for those people, Li Yi sighed in his heart.
This was how the world was. The right was always in the hands of the few — the rich and the powerful.
When he tried to reason with them, they insisted on using force. When they lost to Li Xuan's guards in terms of force, they turned around and tried to reason with him.
This was not the way to bully people, right?
"All the Young Masters and Young Mistresses present can testify that our Young Master clearly said just now that 'the children's affairs will be dealt with by themselves' and did not intervene in the quarrel between the Young Masters. However, your family's guards actually bullied the young. I'm afraid that this is damaging to the dignity of High Duke Chen, isn't it?"
The servants of the Li family also felt that the young man was distorting the truth. Those people's legs were broken, but what did it have to do with their young master? It was obvious that they were blind and offended that young master, which caused the disaster. The Li family was not going to take the blame.
"Not bad."
"Indeed."
The surrounding young masters and young ladies nodded in agreement.
Although it was unreasonable for the young master to allow the little fatty to fight with a few children, he still knew his limits. On the other hand, Duke Chen's guard actually disregarded his status and attacked a child. It was a little too shameless.
Moreover, in the beginning, it was the few kids from High Duke Chen's family who provoked them first. The little fatty was not weak at all. After what happened just now, he had already won a good impression in everyone's hearts.
As for the bodyguards who had their legs broken, they had only themselves to blame. How could someone who could bring so many powerful bodyguards with him be an ordinary person? The House of High Duke Chen might be a colossus in the eyes of ordinary people, but what kind of place was the capital? There might not be many people who did not respect the House of High Duke Chen, but a few bodyguards who relied on their master's power would not be taken seriously.
Feeling the gazes from the surrounding people, the young man felt a little embarrassed. He said, "Even if they are in the wrong, isn't it too cruel to break people's legs so easily?"
Li Yi realized that this guy seemed to have set his sights on him. From the beginning to the end, he only broke one person's arm and sent another flying with a kick. The person who broke their legs was standing behind Li Xuan. Every injustice had its perpetrator, and every debt had its debtor. If he had the ability, he could go and find them. What was the logic of always coming after him?
Moreover, what was so cruel about breaking a person's leg? That guy wanted to be Li Xuan's father and be brothers with the emperor. It was already benevolent of His Highness that he was not beaten to death.
Even if he went up and slapped Li Xuan twice or kicked him twice, his crime would be much lighter than calling himself "father" in front of him.
In the end, there were still people who were reasonable. A guard with a broken leg couldn't help but point at Li Xuan's group and said, "Young Master Cheng, our injuries … were done by those people!"
Chen Licheng had the thought of personally breaking his other leg.
"Damn it, can't you just say it all at once? After talking for so long, you haven't even found the culprit. Are you kidding me?"
At this moment, he was also secretly cursing his bad luck. Why couldn't they just stay at home? Why did they have to bring a few friends to the Cold Mountain Temple to enjoy the plum blossoms? What was even worse was that they had brought the little devil of their family.
He was just an ordinary collateral family member of the Chen family. He had neither money nor status. The little devil in front of him with purple eye sockets was the treasure of the Chen family. If he didn't handle it well today, he wouldn't be able to explain himself when he went back.
"Why don't we go to the temple and find a place to sit?" Li Xuan turned his head to look at Li Yi and suggested.
Li Yi agreed with his idea very much. It didn't feel good to stand here and be stared at like a monkey. The naughty kid's face was bruised, and he had to find a place to apply some medicine.
"Stop!" Seeing that the two people seemed to be really planning to leave, Chen Licheng stepped forward and said loudly, "Don't you think you owe us an explanation?"
"What do you want? Just say it." Li Xuan pointed at a few guards. They understood and stepped forward to stand in front of the crowd.
Li Xuan looked at them and said impatiently, "Do you want to come one by one or all at once?"
"Arrogant, too arrogant!"
This was the most intuitive feeling of Chen Licheng and the men behind him.
"That person looks gentle, like someone who has been educated. How can he be so rude?"
"Let's sit down and talk. If the other party also has a strong background, we just need to apologize and symbolically break a few legs. Both of us will have face, and the matter will be solved perfectly."
"Do we have to fight?"
"All the guards who have martial arts on their side have their legs broken. How can a few scholars fight with those people? Aren't they courting death?"
Compared to Chen Licheng and the others, the surrounding people felt differently.
Especially the eyes of the young women under the veil, they were all quietly glowing.
The surrounding crowd naturally had to stand on the side of truth. High Duke Chen's servants used their power to bully others. Chen Licheng was just continuing to be vicious. As for the two young masters, they were obviously in the right. Of course, the most important thing was that the two of them were really handsome …
"Hmph, we are scholars. How can we be like those boorish people in the mountains?" Chen Licheng snorted coldly. A disdainful expression appeared on his face, covering the fear just now. He said, "Why don't we have a civil battle? If you win, we will let bygones be bygones. If we win, you need to personally apologize, and the person who attacked just now will have to break one of his legs. How about that?"
Chen Licheng wasn't stupid enough to use his shortcomings to compete with others' strengths. They were all scholars, so they should use a more refined method. It was better to recite poems and write essays. As for fighting … it was simply a disgrace to scholars!
After they left, they would investigate their background. If the two of them didn't have any background, they would definitely regret being born into this world.
"Civil battle?"
Hearing this, Li Xuan thought for a while and decisively shook his head.
"Too troublesome. Let's have a martial battle … Why don't we only send out two people and all of you come together?"
