Li Xuanbai's sentence scolded Zhang Changzhi to death. It is also a complete offense to it.

The second prince smiled, and there was nothing else.

Li Xuanbai saw that the second prince had nothing to do with himself, and his expression was cold. sighed secretly in his heart, although Zhang Changzhi received his favor, he was also a little person like a grain of sand in his eyes. The wind blew and it dispersed. If the second prince really entangled with himself for Zhang Changzhi, it would be fine. This also shows that the second prince is just a mediocre person. Even with the support of the prime minister, it basically does not pose much of a threat to the scheming prince.

But judging from the current situation, the second prince is obviously an extremely patient and knowledgeable person. Li Xuanbai couldn't help but scoff at the rumor that the second prince was an embroidered pillow who only knew how to work on a woman's belly.

The second prince didn't say anything, though. Zhang Changzhi on the side was angry, but he couldn't do anything. I had to suffer this loss. And Zhu Zhanzhao, the son of Xiangguo, who had a grudge with Li Xuanbai before, behaved very ordinarily. Except for the hatred emanating from his eyes, there was no excesses. I think I got a warning from the prime minister when I went out. Don't dare to cause trouble outside.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the Lion House was extremely strange.

At this moment, a servant suddenly ran up from downstairs, walked straight to the second prince, and said softly: "Your Highness, it's not good." ”

"The mastiff that His Highness bought from Xishu with a lot of money has just been killed. ”

"What! What is so daring?"

The second prince did not speak after listening to Hu Cong's words, but Zhang Changzhi shouted angrily on the side. When he found that he was talkative, he looked up at the second prince carefully. found that he was not to blame, so he was relieved.

Although the second prince did not speak, his face was gloomy. The whole face is cold and gloomy. Today, Li Xuanbai was already angry. Just now, it was my own dog that was killed. The resentment in my heart is hard to get rid of.

The second prince turned around and went downstairs to see who was so bold.

The rest of the crowd followed.

Li Xuanbai and Dan Fengyan were also interested, so they followed Xue Zhi downstairs.

"What is the strength of that black-robed old man?" Li Xuanbai glanced at the old man beside the second prince and asked softly about Danfengyan.

"Below the fourth grade, there is no match. Dan Fengyan replied.

"I didn't expect that there was such a powerful character around the second prince. Li Xuanbai squinted and said.

Danfeng glanced at Li Xuanbai and said disdainfully: "It's just four grades." He is still a master in the temple. When it comes to the upper echelons of the rivers and lakes, it will not work. The Demon Gate Protector who died under the sword of Jiang Muxin of the Xiaoyao Sect was also a fourth-grade. It's not that your right hand was cut off with a sword by your innocent son. It can be seen that there is nothing unusual. Li Kun, your vision is still too small after all. ”

Dan Fengyan's words were full of sarcasm, but Li Xuanbai had no way to deal with her. You can't tie her up and throw her on the bed. Hey, it's okay to think about it. If you really do it, your life will be gone. Li Xuanbai had to smirk and pretend not to care.

While speaking, everyone arrived outside the Lion Tower, and saw the head of a large golden mastiff separated from the corpse. Canine blood was sprinkled all over the streets. Very conspicuous. Li Xuanbai quietly walked into the crowd and asked the surrounding people who were watching the excitement, only to understand what happened.

It turned out that downstairs, a scholar dressed as a scholar was buying food and preparing to go back to the inn. But he didn't think that the smell of food in his hand attracted the attention of the mastiff. The mastiff broke free from the restraints of his obedience, pounced on the scholar, opened his bloody mouth and began to bite open.

The man who led the dog was not surprised, and even stood aside and watched as if it was nothing to do with himself, and took pleasure in it. The people around him dared not speak out in anger. They all thought that today's scholar was estimated to be dead. At this time, a butcher with a beard on his face who was passing by, saw that he was uneven, drew a knife to help, and chopped the dog's head with a knife in his hand, saving the scholar.

After listening to the description of the people, Li Xuanbai looked for the butcher and scholar in the field. After a while, he saw that the butcher was being crushed to the ground by several servants brought by the second prince. His mouth was still cursing. The scholar was so frightened that he hid aside and shivered.

The second prince listened to his subordinates talk about the process, and walked to the butcher with gloomy eyes. A hard kick was struck.

The butcher received a kick from the second prince but insisted on refusing to bow his head, so he looked at the second prince directly. The hatred in his eyes was palpable. The second prince snorted coldly and kicked it again.

The butcher just snorted.

"Cheap stuff. You dare to kill Your Highness's dog. Killing you is not enough to hate His Highness Heimoto. Someone came, found out his origin, and wiped out the three tribes. ”

As soon as the words of the second prince fell, the surrounding people were whispering. Li Xuanbai and Dan Fengyan walked out of the crowd, came to Xue Zhi's side and asked softly, "Brother Xue." What do you think about this?"

Xue Zhi said in a low voice: "What can it be? This mastiff is the second prince's beloved thing." Now he has been killed by a butcher. How could the second prince let him go so easily. That butcher should be out of luck. ”

Dan Fengyan, who listened to Li Xuanbai and his whispers, was born in the rivers and lakes and was taught by Taoism. There are not as many ideas as in the temple. Seeing that the butcher was so unafraid of power, he wanted to help him. When Li Xuanbai saw Danfeng's right foot stepping out, he knew that something was wrong. Hurriedly stretched out his right hand and grabbed the corner of her sleeve.

Dan Fengyan looked back and saw Li Xuanbai shaking his head slightly and retracting his steps.

Li Xuanbai walked in front of Danfeng's eyes and looked at the two princes and others ten steps away. When he looked at the butcher again, he felt familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere. But I couldn't remember it for a while. At this moment, the second prince didn't seem to want to talk to the butcher anymore, so he glanced at one of the servants.

The sword was drawn from his waist, and the tip of the knife fell to the ground, making a snorting sound. The light flashing on the surface of the knife was very dazzling. With a sly smile on his face, Hu Cong walked towards the butcher. The onlookers knew that the butcher was dying.

Just as Hu Cong was about to raise the knife in his hand, someone suddenly shouted: "Slow!"

Everyone followed the prestige, only to find that it was Li Xuanbai in a gorgeous costume.

The second prince's face was gloomy and he said, "Kill!"

Although Li Xuanbai has not formally studied martial arts, he has the Eight Rank Inner Breath in his body under the impetus of Jiang Muxin of the Xiaoyao Sect. He drew a gourd with the moves made by Danfengyan in his memory, and a stone in his hand shot out quietly, not fast, but it was very accurate to smash into the tiger's mouth that was wielding a knife.

Hu Cong's knife fell off naturally, only cutting off a few hairs of the butcher.

Li Xuanbai took the opportunity to run to the butcher and helped him up. The servants on the side knew that this was the prince of Lu Guogong, and they were all at a loss, and they all looked at the second prince.

Zhu Zhanzhao, who had never spoken, sneered and shouted, "Li Xuanbai, do you really have to take the second prince in your eyes?"

Zhang Changzhi then echoed: "I think he is used to being domineering." Do you really think that this Great Chu world belongs to his Li family?"

Zhang Changzhi's heart-wrenching words put a big hat on Li Xuanbai. Li Xuanbai squinted at him, this person seemed to be bullying good and afraid of evil, and he was as timid as a mouse. In fact, it is very scheming. The words in the mouth are sharp. This kind of villain can't be kept.

The second prince in the middle of the face was like frost, and he thought that no matter how good his patience was, he was also consumed by Li Xuanbai's repeated provocations, he looked at Li Xuanbai and said gloomily: "Li Xuanbai, do you really want to go against me?"

Li Xuanbai shook his head and said with a smile: "What did Your Highness say?" How dare I, Li Xuanbai, go against His Highness. I'm helping Your Highness?"

"Help me?"

"Your Highness, think about it. If Your Highness really kills the butcher today, he will be sent to the Holy One. Isn't that good for Your Highness?"

The second prince was obviously too angry, and shouted: "Today, His Royal Highness wants to see what can be done if you kill this butcher!"

The servant listened to the order and drew his sword forward.

Li Xuanbai shouted at the top of his voice: "Killing people in broad daylight, is there really no Great Chu King Law in the eyes of His Highness?"

"Wang Fa?" Zhu Zhanzhao on the side sneered: "Li Xuanbai, haven't you heard the phrase that you can't punish a doctor since ancient times? Not to mention that this is His Royal Highness the Second Prince. ”

Li Xuanbai confronted each other and said: "Don't forget, the words that the prince is guilty of breaking the law and the common people are guilty of the same crime comes from Emperor Gaozu's golden words. ”

Li Xuanbai saw that everyone was speechless by what he had just said, and then said, "His Royal Highness the Second Prince." If he is reproached by the Holy Lord for this, then who is the most beneficial must not Li Xuanbai say more, right?"

When the second prince heard Li Xuanbai's words, his brows tightened.

Li Xuanbai took the opportunity to say: "Your Highness, why don't you listen to Li Xuanbai?"

The second prince's eyes were full of doubts, and he motioned for him to continue.

Li Xuanbai replied: "In Li Xuanbai's opinion, this matter should be handed over to Gyeonggi Mansion." It is only fitting that Gyeonggi Prefecture is in charge of this. ”

The second prince thought for a moment, and finally agreed. A few servants were sent to bring the butcher and the scholar to Gyeonggi Province with the mastiff corpse. And the people dispersed.

On the way back, Zhu Zhanzhao asked the second prince: "Why does His Royal Highness listen to Li Xuanbai's words?"

The second prince squinted and said, "Li Xuanbai's words just now woke me up." This may have something to do with the crown prince......"

Zhu Zhanzhao said in horror: "Prince?

Zhang Changzhi has been able to be by the side of the second prince for so long, naturally there is some reason. He tried to figure out the meaning of the second prince's words, and said carefully: "Your Highness is saying that today is a bureau set up by the prince?"

......

......

A canopy-covered carriage was lonely and headed east of the city.

In the carriage, Li Xuanbai and Dan Fengyan sat on both sides. Li Xuanbai held his jaw and thought, and Danfeng closed his eyes and was silent. Outside the carriage, I don't know when, Zhou Hao had already replaced the driving guy.

Dan Feng opened his eyes and happened to see Li Xuanbai smiling at him. The smile was gentle. Danfeng's tone softened a little and said, "There are too many coincidences in today's events. ”

Li Xuanbai put down his hand supporting his jaw, seemed to be a little numb, and shook it off: "You can see it too." ”

Dan Fengyan nodded and said, "But I don't understand why Xue Zhi did this?"

Li Xuanbai squinted his eyes and said, "Because he is the prince's person." ”

Xue Zhi is the prince's person. Li Xuanbai already knew. Xue Zhi's father, Xue Ding, was the supreme general in charge of the garrison of Kyoto. has been secretly in contact with the prince. It is natural for Xue Zhi to do things for the crown prince. Li Xuanbai even suspected that Xue Zhi approached him as the crown prince's arrangement. It's just that today's events, Xue Zhi has exposed too many horses' feet. Before going downstairs, Li Xuanbai secretly asked the little maid in the Lion Building, and it turned out that the fourth-floor private room prepared by Xue Zhi for him was where Zhang Changzhi often entertained guests. Xue Zhi has been in Beijing for so long, it is impossible not to know.

Then why did he want to feast Li Xuanbai in this private room, his heart can be seen. Li Xuanbai even felt that the appearance of the second prince had something to do with Xue Zhi. He just let himself clash with the second prince. As for why, the reason is simple. It is the snipe and the clam that compete, and the fisherman profits. The ultimate beneficiary is the crown prince.

Li Xuanbai is just a pawn in this farce. As for why he is willing to be this pawn, there is naturally a reason. First, he really doesn't like Zhang Changzhi's personality, and he wants to teach him a lesson. Second, he wanted to meet the second prince. Let's see if he has no ink on his chest in the world's mouth, and only understands romance.

As a result, he was unexpected, but satisfied.

Li Xuanbai remembered something, and shouted to Zhou Hao outside the curtain: "Who is the governor of Gyeonggi Mansion?"

Zhou Hao replied: "Yang Jicai." ”

Li Xuanbai didn't seem to have heard of this person, and wondered: "What is the origin of this person?" You should understand what I mean. ”

Zhou Hao replied: "Young master." He is neither the man of the crown prince nor the man of the second prince. This person is the eye of Jinghe's fourteen-year temple test. During the reign of the first emperor, he served in the Hanlin Academy. Until the sixteenth year of Taihe, he was named the governor of Gyeonggi Province. I heard that he handled cases fairly and strictly, and was an honest official. He is one of the few good officials. ”

Dan Fengyan was curious why Li Xuanbai asked this, and couldn't help but look at him. Li Xuanbai smiled slightly and explained, "I want to save that butcher." ”
