"What?"

"Twenty-four corpses?"

Lin Xi stood up suddenly, and when he was soaking his feet, a pair of feet suddenly stepped on the basin.

It was so hot that he hurriedly jumped out.

"Shhh ~”

With a big tooth, Lin Xi looked at Zheng Lun reflexively:

"Have you counted, twenty-four?"

"Yes."

"They all look like soldiers, with calluses on their hands, calluses and marks on their bodies from long hours of armor."

Zheng Lun was also afraid: "My lord, do you think this will be King Lu's personal guard?" ”

He was tempting, wanting to see if Lin Xi knew tonight in advance.

Maybe Lin Xi knew that something was going to happen to Xiao Zhai, but he didn't necessarily know that it was King Lu.

"King Lu actually sent so many people, obviously he didn't want to negotiate properly." Lin Xi was silent, realizing this matter, and became troublesome.

Zheng Lun felt cold in his hands and feet.

Lin Xi knows!

He knew everything, and even knew that it was King Lu who was going to make trouble.

Realizing this, Zheng Lun understood that what he did tonight should leave a legacy of trouble.

There was a fight in Xiao's house, Zheng Lun stood by and watched, and only went out to wash the floor when he was done, which is not what a good subordinate should do.

However, Lin Xi didn't say anything, and did not reprimand Zheng Lun, but said:

"King Lu has to keep an eye on it, if there is any more action tonight, he can't stand by and watch."

"My lord, I ......" Zheng Lun wanted to explain.

"Needless to say, you are doing the right thing, and it is not appropriate for the yamen to meddle in the disputes between these big people......"

Zheng Lun breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and said with a smile: "My lord is really wise, that's what I think......"

Lin Xi smiled and looked at him deeply.

……

The night has not yet passed.

This night, in the small town of Whitewater, many people have already noticed something unusual.

Two ox carts, pulling many corpses, went out of the city.

Of course, the defenders of the city knew that there were corpses there.

Then, all parties knew.

Many people who have fallen asleep have been woken up from their sleep, and in the quiet town of Whitewater, everyone seems to be waiting for a huge news.

And the short trio who left Xiao's house also confiscated the team.

The short man took his two brothers and came to the outside of the post house and stared at King Lu.

If King Lu had to fight hard, they would still make a move, but this time they didn't have to do it in Xiao Mansion.

The three of them had just killed each other, and only then did they realize that it was also very troublesome for people to dispose of corpses.

On the roof of a house next to the inn.

The three brothers lay there, melting into the night.

"Brother, I just killed ten!"

"I killed ten too!"

The short man sneered: "I also killed a dozen." ”

"But there are only about 20 corpses, can someone run away even if they die?"

The short man gave the two of them a blank look.

"Uh......"

The fifth and sixth children were silent, and it was a big crime to falsely report their military exploits.

Fortunately, this is not the time to be in the army.

"I can't blow it anymore?" The sixth said.

"Don't blame me for killing less, there are not many people who go to the North Courtyard." Old Five snorted.

The short man sneered:

"That's it!"

"This is not in the army, if you don't record military exploits, it's useless to kill more."

I don't know what you mean by blowing this.

If you report a few more, can you be promoted or what?

"The one who took the lead is back at the inn."

"I see it."

"Why hasn't there been any movement yet, is King Lu stupid?"

"Sixth, you're too ruthless, if you let them escape a few, we'll be able to kill another batch in a while!"

"Blame me? Obviously, the boss is more ruthless, and he killed more than a dozen people. ”

"Then we shouldn't let the leader go back, in this case, King Lu will definitely send someone again."

Listening to the conversation between the two brothers, the short man hurriedly stopped:

"Shut up!"

"Your two minds are a little dangerous, just looking forward to killing?"

The fifth and sixth were silent for a moment.

The sixth man suddenly said: "Brother, you have killed more than the two of us." ”

"Huh?"

The short man glared, and the sixth looked around at the scenery and made a good baby posture.

The three of them waited on the roof all night.

The east was white, and the three of them were in a trance.

"Damn, I fed the mosquitoes all night, and King Lu really didn't plant them!" Lao Wu said disdainfully.

"That's it, he's a prince anyway, and he now has one hundred and seventy or eighty people in his hands, all of them are pulled out!" The sixth child's interest is not authentic.

The short man was beaten by these two people, and he didn't bother to care.

Without these two people chattering, he still really felt bored these days.

"That's it, it's okay, King Lu must enter Beijing in the morning, and Xiao's house is peaceful."

The short man said, "Close." ”

……

One night, Xiao Fan didn't go back to the house.

When he went to the cellar, the whole family would stay overnight, leaving Jiang Xing to guard outside.

"Master, it's dawn!"

Jiang Xinglai opened the door of the cellar, and the sun closed into the dark cellar, making everyone in the Xiao Mansion suddenly feel warm.

"Husband, it's all right." Yu Yourong's heart was tense all night, and finally fell.

Xiao Fan nodded and said, "Everyone has worked hard, go back and rest, you don't have to do anything today." ”

"I'm going to make breakfast." Zhang Qiao got up and said.

"No need, ask someone to send it from Piaoxiang Building, rest well today, and go to work normally tomorrow." Xiao Fan instructed.

"Thank you, sir!"

Just then, there was a knock at the door.

Xiao Fan gestured to Jiang Xing.

Jiang Xing carried his sword, went out, and came back a moment later with a post.

"Who?" Xiao Fan asked.

Jiang Xing handed it over, and Xiao Fan opened it and looked at it.

"It's an invitation from King Lu?" No matter how Zhang Zongbao is, the words are recognizable.

"What does that mean?"

"Want to make amends?" Jiang Xing smiled.

What happened in Xiao's house last night was enough for King Lu to re-examine this small mansion.

"Brother, don't go, you must not hold back any good fart!"

"Hongmen Banquet?" Xiao Fan smiled, but he didn't care, because what was written on the invitation was to invite him to King Lu's Mansion as a guest.

The emperor's son generally has two royal palaces.

One is in the capital, and when it reaches the age of the year, it will be sent out of the palace and build a house in the capital, which is the first palace.

There was also a royal palace in their fiefdom.

The prince in the fiefdom, that is, the emperor of the soil, of course, must have his own "palace".

And King Lu invited Xiao Fan to King Lu's mansion, obviously referring to the one in the capital.

"King Lu wants to fight our business."

Even Zhang Zongbao understood: "He is not a thing, he wanted to hold us and coerce us first, but he didn't count that he was cut off by the hand we stretched out to him." ”

"Do you want to talk about it now?" Zhang Zongbao said disdainfully, "Why does he want to talk about it, so we have to talk to him?" ”

"Brother, let's not go!"

This time, Xiao Fan did not refute Zhang Zongbao.

"yes, we're not going." Xiao Fan smiled.

Then in public, the invitation was torn up.

Throw it in an earthen stove in the yard.

"Well torn!" Zhang Zongbao snorted, "When we get up, don't talk about his invitation, everyone tore it up for him!" ”

"Ahem......" Jiang Xing coughed twice.

Zhang Zongbao rolled his eyes and said: "What's the matter, he's not the emperor, it's not okay to say two words about him?" ”

Disrespecting the emperor is a capital offense.

It's not a big sin to complain a few words to a prince.

If you have to be investigated, you can also be guilty of blasphemy, but the consequences are nothing.

"Haha, the second master said it well!" Everyone clapped their hands.

But suddenly, Yu Yourong said:

"Someone died in the house last night, so ...... Hasn't our house become a murderous house? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's happy mood was paused.

……

The House of Residence.

"Your Majesty, the secret guard of Whitewater Town, has just come back from flying a pigeon."

As soon as Xiao Jingxuan woke up, Zhao Song took the secret letter and entered the hall.

Xiao Jingxuan, who was being served and dressed, said, "What do you need to tell me early in the morning?" ”

Before you eat, you started to work?

Zhao Song naturally saw it, and said:

"The secret guard said that King Lu arrived in Baishui Town yesterday afternoon and stayed in the post house."

"Afternoon?"

Xiao Jingxuan immediately grasped the key point and asked, "Why didn't he enter Beijing?" ”

From Baishui Town to the capital, it doesn't take more than two hours to take a carriage.

At this point, you still have to stay overnight in Whitewater Town?

"What did King Lu do?" Xiao Jingxuan immediately realized that King Lu's purpose was only afraid that it was someone or something in Baishui Town.

Zhao Song said: "Your Majesty is wise, King Lu does have an operation in Baishui Town. He sent people to attack Xiao's house at night, trying to control Xiao Fan and collect money for him. ”

"Humph!"

Xiao Jingxuan was not surprised, and sneered: "Among my sons, it is strange that there are those who don't like power, but only like money!" ”

"Didn't I ask the secret guard to protect Xiao Fan?"

Xiao Jingxuan asked, "How did the dark guard do it?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty...... The secret guard killed all the people sent by King Lu, and warned King Lu's people not to fight the idea of Xiao Mansion again. Zhao Song said calmly.

It doesn't seem like a big deal.

"Is King Lu injured?" Xiao Jingxuan was still worried about his son.

"His Royal Highness King Lu didn't take action in person, he set off for the capital early in the morning, and it is estimated that he will arrive in an hour."

"When he arrives, call him into the palace."
