Chapter 19: The Guardians
"Uncle is here." Yahuan carefully pulled the corner of Zizhen's clothes, Shangguan Zizhen was in the Hou Mansion, and she could always avoid Xiao Bai, so she had never seen Xiao Bai at all, Yahuan was reminding her. Yuan Xia also saw the strange appearance of Yahuan and Shangguan Zizhen, looked back, and was stunned for a moment, a white dress flew up, the hairband hung down, the jade crown tied her hair, the black hair was neat, and she was as beautiful as jade, she never thought that Xiao Bai would be such a person, not only Yuan Xia was stunned, but even Shangguan Zizhen was stunned for a moment, the waste rumored by others was actually such a temperamental.
"I've seen my uncle." Yahuan hurriedly saluted.
"It seems that the lake is quite lively today, Miss Yuan, I remember that you live in the guest room, right?" Xiao Bai frowned and said.
"Yes, yes, yes." Yuan Xia hurriedly came back to her senses from the distraction, and said with a pause in her tone, it was not that she had never seen Xiao Bai, but Xiao Bai who had seen her in the past, He had stepped off the bedside and had been nested in the bed, and now she saw Xiao Bai, who was full of energy, and regretted a little why she refused His Majesty's marriage back then.
"Go back to your guest room, this is the inner courtyard of the Hou Mansion, outsiders are not allowed to come in, Miss Yuan doesn't think that the Hou Mansion is your home?" Although Xiao Bai's voice was soft, his eyebrows frowned, and he seemed to be very reluctant to deal with the people of the Yuan family. Of course he remembered Yuan Xia, when he seemed to be only thirteen years old, a person walked into his room, said something to him, that is, how noble he was, a waste was not worthy of her, and then proudly raised his head and walked away. Although Xiao Bai doesn't care about such a person, but now that he looks at Yuan Xia and looks at her fading away from that arrogance, he thinks it's a good thing, but it doesn't mean that Xiao Bai has forgotten those things.
"It's me who was reckless, go back now." Yuan Xia's face was a little ugly, she could naturally see that Xiao Bai hated her, so she left, staying here would only increase her unhappiness.
"Uncle doesn't like this girl?" Yahuan Road.
"I don't like it or not, it's just a few grievances, by the way, the four princes are having a banquet in Chunfeng Tower today, you go to the banquet with me." Xiao Bai looked at Shangguan Ziyu and said calmly.
"No, no." Shangguan Ziqi's tone was extremely cold, and she didn't seem to bother to deal with Xiao Bai.
"The banquet of the four princes, ordinary people can't shirk it, you have to go with me, as for those things of yours, I don't bother to care." Xiao Bai also said coldly, he naturally didn't bother to deal with Shangguan Zizhen, this matter could not be rejected by Shangguan Zizhen. The face of the four princes must be given, because the four princes have a good relationship with Xiao Bai.
"Don't worry, Miss will go." Yahuan hurriedly said, she naturally knew that Xiao Bai would come to Shangguan Zizhen if she couldn't refuse, if Shangguan Zizhen even refused this matter, then it would really be too bad for Xiao Bai to lose face. In the delicate carriage of the Hou Mansion, Xiao Bai sat casually, the folding fan in his hand swayed slowly, and Shangguan Zizhen sat reluctantly, and the maid beside her put her hand on her lap, as if holding her down to make her not impulsive.
"Uncle, the relationship between the Hou Mansion and the royal family seems to be very close?" Yahuan was a little puzzled, the little marquis Xiao Yun often stayed in the palace and never came out, all the princes respected him very much, and even Xiao Bai never looked down on him, especially on the wedding day. Today, all the princes and princesses have arrived, even if it is a royal marriage, it is impossible to be so grand, the only explanation is that there is a special relationship between the Hou Mansion and the royal family.
"You don't have to know." Xiao Bai said lightly.
"Is the fourth prince just feasting on his uncle?" Yahuan knew that this question might involve the private affairs of the Hou Mansion, so she didn't ask anymore.
"No, he is feasting on Mrs. Ji and her daughter from Shenyun Palace, I heard that it is called Shangguan Ziyun, we are just accompanying guests." Xiao Bai said casually, but when Xiao Bai said that Mrs. Ji followed Shangguan Ziyun, a touch of surprise appeared in Shangguan Ziyun's eyes, and then there was deep disgust in her eyes, her hands tightly covered the corners of her clothes, tearing, Yahuan was also stunned, she really didn't expect that the four princes were banqueting people from Shenyun Palace.
"Second brother, you're here." Under the Chunfeng Tower, Xiao Li, the fourth prince who was dressed in a luxurious purple robe, with a purple and gold hair crown, and a handsome spirit, was already waiting. Seeing Xiao Bai walking down from the carriage, he walked over with a smile on his face.
"He's there too?" The first thing Xiao Bai saw was not Xiao Li, the fourth prince, but Xiao Yi standing at the door of Chunfeng Tower, Xiao Bai didn't expect Xiao Ya to invite him.
"The misunderstanding between the second brother and King Jing's son, the fourth brother has heard about it, so let's take advantage of the fourth brother's banquet today to reconcile together?" Xiao Li said with a smile on his face.
"Okay." Xiao Bai's eyes stared at Xiao Ya for a moment, and then said lightly, as if he wanted to see the innocent young man in Xiao Ya. But the young man seems to be gone, in the private room of the Chunfeng Building, there are already many people sitting one after another, a lady in a green dress, and a young girl in a purple skirt are sitting in the center, and those people are clustered around these two people, obviously they are Mrs. Ji of Shenyun Palace and Shangguan Ziyun, and when they saw Shangguan Ziyun who was following Xiao Bai, their eyes were stunned, but they immediately recovered their expressions, as if they had never seen this person. And the same is true in Ziyi's eyes, and then he followed Xiao Bai extremely coldly and slowly sat there, and next to Xiao Yi, sitting was his righteous Yang Ying, although among the women present, she was the most ordinary, but the kind of scholarly aura on her body was by no means something that ordinary people could have.
"Second brother, let me introduce to you, this is the wife of the palace master of Shenyun Palace, Mrs. Ji, and this is Miss Shangguan Ziyun, the pearl of the palace master." Xiao Li introduced them to Xiao Bai, but they sat there without even moving, as if they were the most noble people. Xiao Bai looked at their attitude, and didn't say anything, just sat there slowly, but his face was gloomy, Xiao Ya was also a little embarrassed, he really didn't expect Mrs. Ji to follow Shangguan Ziyun so unexpectedly.
"Fourth prince, just now this prince has already introduced your second brother to Madame and Miss Shangguan, so it is normal for them not to be polite." Xiao Yi said slowly.
"How come there is still a seat?" Xiao Ya heard Xiao Yi's words, his eyes were cold, but he saw Mrs. Ji beside him, and there was a position, and asked with some curiosity.
"I'm sorry, the old man is late." The voice was thick, and the white robe was very concise, but such a simple robe was worn on his body like a dragon robe, looking at the appearance of this person, Xiao Bai's eyes were extremely cold. And Shangguan Zizhen was also stunned, the whole person was struck by lightning, and he really couldn't imagine how he could appear in the Eastern Capital.
"Everyone, let me introduce you, this is the Palace Master of Shenyun Palace, Shangguan Xiong, and the Palace Master." Xiao Yi's face was full of a very proud look, and the fourth prince was also ugly, Shangguan Xiong came to the Eastern Capital, he didn't know at all, and he didn't expect him to come to today's banquet.
"Alright, you can go." Shangguan Xiong said flatly, not even looking at Xiao Yi.
"Fourth brother, come behind me." Xiao Bai's tone became extremely cold.
"What's wrong with the second brother?" Xiao Ya looked puzzled.
"I'm talking about coming back to me." Xiao Bai shouted coldly, Xiao Li was stunned, he never thought that Xiao Bai also had such a photographable side, and slowly walked behind Xiao Bai, Xiao Bai's eyes were still staring at him coldly.
"I said, the eastern capital is the territory of the Xiao family, the people of the three palaces and the four sects, when they come to the eastern capital, they can only die, Shangguan Xiong, you are so bold." Xiao Bai looked at Shangguan Xiong and said coldly.
"Unexpectedly, the royal guardian turned out to be you? This is a bit of a surprise to the old man, but you have no right to ask the old man to go. Shangguan Xiong swore with an oath on his face, the royal guardian is a very secret force, and even the emperor doesn't know who is in charge of this guardian, because the task of the royal guardian is to block the forces of the rivers and lakes from doing evil in the eastern capital. Especially those suzerain figures, without the permission of the guards, they can't enter the imperial city, Shangguan Xiong's entry into the imperial city has already ignored the royal rules, how can Xiao Bai not be angry.
"Hehe, Shangguan Xiong, you think too highly of yourself, right? Don't you think that I, Xiao Bai, am just a waste in the mouth of the Eastern Capital, and there is no one in the royal family, so I have become a guardian, so I don't dare to touch your Shenyun Palace? With a bang, Xiao Bai slapped his palm on the table, everyone was startled, Xiao Bai stood up coldly, and the chill in his eyes seemed to be like a sharp sword. The four princes were all shocked by Xiao Bai, who was that person, it was Shangguan Xiong, the palace master of Shenyun Palace, and regardless of his identity, martial arts alone was the top person in the world, I was afraid that my father and emperor were here, so I didn't dare to talk to him like this, and Xiao Bai despised Shangguan Xiong so much, he was puzzled. And Shangguan Ziyun was also stunned, as if looking at Xiao Bai with some curiosity, especially Shangguan Xiong's attitude towards him, if someone else was so presumptuous in front of Shangguan Xiong, he would be dead now, Mrs. Ji and Shangguan Ziyun were also staring at Shangguan Xiong curiously, they were waiting for how Shangguan Xiong would kill Xiao Bai. Because the palace master of Shenyun Palace will never allow anyone to blaspheme, even if it is a prince, but Shangguan Xiong is still standing there calmly, without a trace of angry expression on his face.
"Where, this Jianghu is still afraid of the guardians, seven years ago you sent an order to the rivers and lakes, any sect leader is not allowed to enter the Eastern Capital without permission, no one dares to resist, and now it can't." Shangguan Xiong said with great certainty.
"You are the Palace Master of Deep Cloud Palace?" Xiao Bai said coldly
"Naturally." Shangguan Xiong nodded and said.
"But you're already in the Eastern Capital." Xiao Bai's voice was filled with chill.
"Presumptuous, even if we are in the Eastern Capital, what can we do?" Mrs. Ji said angrily, she didn't know why Shangguan Xiong was so aggrieved today. Xiao Yi, the prince of King Jing, has already introduced his situation, but he is just a person from the royal family, so what, will Shenyun Palace be afraid of a person from the royal family? Especially a famous waste, as everyone knows, Shangguan Xiong is not afraid of the royal family, but the guardians, the guardians are also a force, the masters are like clouds, and the guardians are also the most mysterious strength, and their duty is to protect the royal family. Any Jianghu people, if they want to be unfavorable to the royal family, the guardians will kill them, and no one can enter the capital without the permission of the guardians in the eastern capital, and even the emperor does not know that there are mysterious guardians standing behind the royal family. Only when the emperor really inherits the throne, he will know, and he will not know who is the guardian, he only needs to know that the guardian will not let any force in the rivers and lakes, any master threaten his life. This is why seven years ago, Xiao Bai would make a move to block Mei Er, and seven years later he still blocked Mei Er, seven years ago he forbade those people to enter the Eastern Capital, it was because of Mei Er's appearance, he knew that someone in the rivers and lakes had the idea to enter the imperial capital, but he didn't expect it to be Shenyun Palace.
"Okay, very good, Shangguan Xiong, it seems that you don't want to leave the Eastern Capital alive." Xiao Bai said coldly, and then with a wave of his hand, a black shadow appeared, and a person appeared in the Spring Breeze Building, a person dressed in black, everyone looked horrified, they actually saw a ghost in broad daylight, this person's speed is better than a ghost, and the breath in the Accord has become extremely deep. With a bang, an extremely thin sword in his hand was unsheathed, and there seemed to be a mysterious aura suppressed in the air, and the depressed people couldn't breathe. Guardian Assassin, this is the most mysterious power of the royal family, Shangguan Xiong looked at the oppressive aura on this person's body, his pupils contracted, this person's swordsmanship is definitely a terrifying sword, because this person is definitely a person like the Soul Hook Messenger, no soul, no seven emotions and six desires, not even the pain of flesh and blood, this person's strength is definitely above the Soul Hook Messenger. Because the medicine man definitely needs a lot of wealth support, and the cherished medicinal materials are used as medicine guides, although Huangquan Mountain is the first sect of the evil sect, but it is too much worse than the royal family, these people are death row prisoners, and they were originally fierce people who killed more than 100 people, and they can be used by the medicine people to protect the eastern capital, and the royal family can't ask for it.
"Just because this person is not a ghost or a ghost, if you want to kill me Shangguanxiong, I'm afraid it's a little more difficult." On Shangguan Xiong's face, a calm smile appeared, but everyone present could no longer be calm in their hearts, after all, one party was the most prestigious Shangguan Xiong in the rivers and lakes. And what about Xiao Bai? The most despised is this kind of person, the hatred of the previous life, he has a deep memory, in the rivers and lakes, how can it be so simple, the rivers and lakes are a bloody world, and interests are important.
"What about your wife and daughter? Will you be able to get out of Chunfeng Lou alive? Xiao Bai looked at them, and the killing intent in his eyes was self-evident.
"Haha, killed my daughter, what about your wife?" Shangguan Xiong looked at Shangguan Ziqi and said, looking at Shangguan Xiong's eyes, Shangguan Ziqi's body was shocked, his eyes were wide open and he looked at Shangguan Xiong, he couldn't say a word, he was looking at him like that.
