Chapter 40: Murder in Wanhualou

Although Ling Xiao made up his mind to kill a few people to deter this group of unruly so-called elites, he finally had three points of sobriety, and first sent someone to call Liu Dashao, a baby disciple who could be trusted!

When Ling Xiao arrived at the door of Wanhualou, Liu Dashao had been waiting here for a long time, but when he saw that Ling Xiao was not greeting or being a sycophant as before, he mysteriously pulled Ling Xiao aside, "Master, this Wanhualou, apprentice, I am also a frequent visitor, but there seems to be some problems today!"

"Well, what did you find?" Ling Xiao knew that his apprentice had always eaten everything, but he didn't suffer losses, and if he could say this, he must have found some noteworthy problems!

"That's right, first of all, the ** who has always been there, is not here today, and only a few turtle slaves take care of the business. Speaking of which, the shopkeeper behind this ** is a member of the prince's family!"

"Besides, there are more furnishings in this building than usual, which is nothing, but I accidentally knocked over a small vase, but I found that there was a void stone inside, and it was forbidden to do so!"

Liu Dashao told Ling Xiao one by one about the suspicious things he had discovered, but Ling Xiao's face became more and more pale!

Not to mention, Liu Dashao also provided a strange situation, that is, he found the frame honor guard of the three princes traveling behind the Wanhua Tower!

Needless to say, this is another conspiracy of the three princes! After Ling Xiao's calculations, he found that these three princes were really vicious, and their intentions were nothing more than three.

The first is to drag the ** and reduce the disposal and response ability of Wanhualou itself. If you clash with this Wanhualou, whether you win or lose, you will definitely not be able to explain to the prince!

The second is to record the scene with empty stones, and if there is anything improper in one's words and deeds, it is evidence to convict oneself!

The third is that presumably the person who took the lead in going out of the military camp privately today will also be a member of the prince's family, so that the prince's family will have infighting, and no matter how the three princes are counted, they will not suffer!

Touching his chin, Ling Xiao sneered, and secretly thought, the third prince had a good calculation, but he couldn't let him get his wish! In fact, who could be much smarter than whom! Maybe the person who left the barracks privately should also be aware of the problem!

Ling Xiao thought well, the person who took the lead in leaving the barracks privately was called Li Wei, who was the commander of the royal honor guard, only half a level lower than Ling Xiao's command envoy. He also understood in his heart the importance of this royal honor guard to the prince's family, and he also knew that Ling Xiao was also the prince's person.

But after all, he is young and vigorous, and he can't get down after being provoked to say a few words, and he takes the lead in leaving the barracks privately to watch the monthly flower viewing conference in this Wanhualou!

At this time, the more I thought about it while sitting on the chair, the more wrong it became, and when I looked around, I found that the few people who provoked me had sneaked away at some point, and all the people present were the best brothers in daily life, and it could be said that they were all the prince's people!

Li Wei, who realized that he had been deceived, immediately decided to take people out of Wanhualou and return to the barracks to plead guilty, but at this time, at the door of the hall, a group of people poured in!

Li Wei, the leader of the group of people who came in, also knew that it was Zhang Yi, a subordinate of the third prince, who was full of wisdom and scheming, and was a difficult master to deal with!

"Hey! Isn't this Li Du's commander? Why do you have time to come to this Wanhualou today! I heard that your commander is going to take over the barracks today, so you won't leave the camp without permission when you come here at this time!" Seeing that Li Wei's group of more than 100 people was just blocked, this Zhang said a few words!

Originally, with his own status and power, Li Wei was not afraid of this person, but people happened to grasp their shortcomings, so they had to bow their heads, "It turned out to be Mr. Zhang, who came to enjoy the flowers! Li has something to do, I will not accompany him today, and I will have a few drinks another day!"

After speaking, he wanted to take someone away, but how could Zhang Yi be willing to let him go, "Slow, I Zhang Yi has no other skills, but I have always been jealous and hateful, especially hating people who do not abide by military regulations, today you Li Wei left the camp without permission, I think you Lord Ling will come here soon, I want to see how your honor guard handles this matter!"

Oh no! Only then did Li Wei know that the people were not specifically dealing with him, and the real target was Ling Xiao, the most popular person in their crown prince's line, at the moment! What should I do? After Lord Ling came, he was not afraid of condemning himself, but the brothers would definitely not accept it, how would they lead troops in the future!

If Lord Ling shielded a group of his own people, and there was this one by his side, he would inevitably denounce Dali Temple, and it would be another mess!

Before Li Wei could come up with a way, there was a knock on the door of the hall, and five more people came in, led by Ling Xiao!

Ling Xiao, who has a similar grasp of the context of the matter, is already confident about how to solve this matter perfectly! He can also guess one or two about this Zhang Yi's thoughts, obviously the third prince saw that Li Wei was leaving, how could he sit idly by, and then send this Zhang Yi out to stop it!

A cold light flashed in his eyes, and Ling Xiao spoke unhurriedly, "Oh! This gentleman thinks it's Zhang Yi, you can uphold the laws of the empire like this, it's very admirable!"

That Zhang Yi was on the side with the third prince, and he was not afraid of Ling Xiao, the upstart of Kyoto, "Hmph! Your Excellency is Ling Xiao, I want to see how you solve the matter of your royal honor guard today!"

"Presumptuous! The matter of my honor guard has its own law and criminality, and it is your share to speak! Come on, I see that this person has ill intentions, and he must have a bad intention, take it!" Ling Xiao's order was very skillful!

Originally, this Li Wei was very popular and had a wide range of friends, and all the brothers were very obedient to him, otherwise they would not have ignored the military regulations today and came to this Wanhualou with him, and a group of them were almost the strongest group of honor guards!

But today, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this Zhang Yi is purely here to provoke, but the truth is really in the hands of others, there is no good way to deal with this matter, after hearing Ling Xiao's order, he is in the middle of it, what law does not care about you, take it down first, and then talk about it, and immediately took out weapons from the storage equipment, and they were about to step forward to take people!

Seeing these people make a move, Ling Xiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, everyone has a habit, this is the first time they have given orders, and these people are forced to execute them without thinking about the situation, so if they give orders again, the execution will be much better!

But Zhang Yi's group of people was very surprised, they didn't expect this Ling Xiao to be so reckless, and he wanted to take people when he came up. Although it was an accident, the action was not slow, and they also took out their swords one after another, and they were about to do it!

There was a lot of trouble here, but the three princes on one side were in a hurry, seeing that they didn't stage the script according to their schedule, but they wanted to hit their own subordinates. The three princes didn't care much, and when they opened the curtain and went out to the hall, they shouted, "Stop!"

Ling Xiao already knew where the three princes were, so he came up and did it, just to drag this royal nobleman into this matter! At this time, seeing that the goal was achieved, he no longer gave the third prince a chance to speak.

First of all, he stepped forward to meet the three princes in full courtesy, so that people could not find anything wrong in this regard, and then reported loudly to the three princes, "So that His Royal Highness the Third Prince knows that he was not going to receive the royal honor guard today, but during the handover process, he heard that there were bandits in Wanhualou to make trouble, so he sent his deputy to command Li Wei to investigate!"

Then he glanced at Zhang Yi, who was stunned, and continued, "Sure enough, the report is true, and my subordinates found that this group of people were holding swords and wanted to resist arrest! This group of people has a total of thirty-six people, each with a weapon, and there is no doubt that they must be bandits!"

It turned out that the Li Empire had a very strict control over swords, and non-military officers were not allowed to wear them privately. Originally, the warriors had their own storage devices, and the swords were not conspicuous when they were placed in them, and no one knew about taking them out when the moon was dark and the wind was high!

The third prince was dumbfounded, and it was difficult to say anything for a while! Originally, as a royal disciple, he could be equipped with guards, and it was not a big deal to hold a sword. However, the royal law is even stricter, stipulating that only eight guards can be assigned! Although those princes and grandsons are far more than that, no one wants to show it on the surface!

For a while, the three princes were on fire, and the fierce light in their eyes shot wildly, thinking that they were going to riot and kill people to cover up the matter! But at this moment, there was a voice at the door of the hall asking for peace from the three princes!

It turned out that Liu Dashao had already taken the empty stone with the best sight and the most complete record in his hand. At this time, the place where Liu Dashao was standing was at the door, and he could escape when he turned around, and the empty stone in his hand made the three princes throw a mouse trap and dare not move!

Ling Xiao also knew the truth of accepting it when he saw it, and asked the three princes for instructions, "If you want to come to these people, His Royal Highness the Third Prince is not familiar with them, so it is better for his subordinates to capture and torture the honor guard!"

The third prince was depressed, and it took a long time to spit out two words from between his clenched teeth, "Casual!" Then he didn't even look at it, turned around and returned to the private room. Then there was the sound of a pot falling to the ground!

Hearing the word "casual", Zhang Yi's face turned pale, he knew that this was the meaning of his master giving up his group of people. Originally, the Three Princes had quite a few means, in this case, if they obeyed the will of the Three Princes and did not resist and were willing to die, the Three Princes would take good care of the family they left behind!

But this Zhang Yi is a person with a cold nature, and at this time, he will still think about the ** child, so he rushed to the door with a knife regardless of it, trying to escape. He is not stupid, he knows that as long as he can escape this difficulty, with his ability to speak and speak, he will definitely be able to persuade the third prince to take him in again!

The situation changed again and again, and the others couldn't react for a long time, and they really let this Zhang Yi run out of the door while he was unprepared. Ling Xiao, who could keep an eye on the movements of the relevant people at any time, took out the dragon-shaped bow unhurriedly and shot out the dragon-shaped golden arrow!

The hideous dragon shadow flashed away, and Zhang Yi's screams before death came from outside the door. This is purely the effect of Ling Xiao deliberately increasing his efforts in order to establish his authority.

Seeing that the matter was successfully resolved, Ling Xiao ignored Li Wei, just greeted Liu Dashao, took Zhang and the three of them, and Shi Shiran turned around and left. In his mind, it depends on what Li Wei will do, if he can capture the remaining so-called bandits back to the honor guard without mercy, and do not hesitate to offend the third prince, it is worth saving him himself!

Facts have proved that Li Wei is not confused to the point of being able to mix up with all the commanders, and almost as soon as Ling Xiao left, he immediately commanded his subordinates to capture those "bandits" and brought them back to the honor guard along with the empty stones! Moreover, as soon as he returned to the team, he knelt in front of the commander's tent and pleaded guilty!

Ling Xiao, who had yin against the three princes, also knew that this Li Wei was a gunman, and his strength was not bad regardless of popularity, so he spared him for the crime of leaving the camp without permission, and just beat thirty military sticks!

And for a martial artist like Li Wei who has already formed a spirit, the thirty military sticks are just trivial. If it weren't for the fact that he finally gave up his spiritual power protection in order to leave some scars, I'm afraid that even the oily skin would not be broken!

Of course, the most important thing is that this Li Wei has seen the ability, force, determination and strategy of Ling Xiao, the new commander, but he admires it from the bottom of his heart.
