Lin Chunxi drank all the wine in front of him, and then bowed to the crown prince, the faces of everyone present were relaxed, and the atmosphere eased slightly, everyone thought that Lin Chunxi accepted Li Shanyuan's suggestion, if this is the case, the two sides can turn enemies into friends from now on, and the dark clouds will disperse, as the young owner of Shenjian Villa, there is naturally no need to continue to entangle, the death of a subordinate, if it can be exchanged for the cave blessing land and no longer interfere in the affairs of the capital, then everything is worth it.

However, Lin Chunxi slowly put down the wine glass, and then said to Li Shanyuan, "Since the children have been rescued, now that the Eight Princes are recuperating in the mansion and their physical condition improves, I will send them back to the Yamen of the Criminal Department, and all the rest will be handled by the Yamen of the Criminal Department."

Lin Chunxi said this, everyone present was silent, the crown prince Li Shanyuan's face was frosty, if he handed the person back into his hands, then it was equivalent to Lin Chunxi had admitted that he would no longer pay attention to the affairs of the capital, even if he refused to join his team, as long as he continued to stand by, then he would have lost a big hidden danger in the capital, and without the assistance of the cave blessed land, I am afraid that relying on the strength of the eighth prince alone would not be enough to resist the power of the city defense camp and the Divine Sword Villa. But Lin Chunxi handed people back to the Criminal Department, it was different, although the Criminal Department was currently under their own allocation, but the jurisdiction was not in their own hands, they were directly facing the current emperor, especially the officials of the Criminal Department Shangshu and other major criminal department officials did not clearly express their support for themselves, Lin Chunxi chose to hand over the children to the Criminal Department, which is equivalent to telling the next that this matter is related to the City God Temple, and if the Criminal Department continues to investigate, then it will be able to find out that behind the City God Temple is Shenjian Villa, and behind Shenjian Villa is himself, Lin Chunxi's choice is equivalent to choosing to bear the burden with himself

During the banquet, the faces of all the people gradually became cold, and the general of the city defense battalion sitting on the side slapped the table, stood up, pointed at Lin Chunxi and scolded, "Who the hell do you think you are, the prince treats you as a friend, what do you mean? Do you believe it or not, Lao Tzu slaughtered these three people, there is a lot of trouble in the capital today, maybe it is you who are making trouble!"

Lin Chunxi didn't refute, just looked at him quietly, and the crown prince Li Shanyuan waved his hand to the general and motioned for him to sit down, and the general sat down indignantly. Ao Jian, who was sitting beside him, slowly stood up and said to Lin Chunxi in a deep voice, "I am an outsider, but the prince treats me like a confidant, I also want to say a few words, why do you have to be an enemy of the prince, the prince is the prince, what he does must have his own reasons, why do you have to hold on to it."

Lin Chunxi said solemnly, "It was the prince who asked me to deal with the theft of children, I must be conscientious, and I should have found some eyebrows, according to the law of the country, it should be handed over to the Criminal Department, so I don't know what I did wrong?"

Ao Jian continued, "I will say to you at the end on behalf of the Divine Sword Villa, if you are obsessed, then I must settle the account between us with you, the people of the Divine Sword Villa cannot die in vain, if the prince speaks, I guarantee that you will not leave alive."

The atmosphere of the scene has reached the freezing point, and the matter has come to this point, Lin Chunxi will not explain more, he knows that there is no point in fighting the Confucians, as long as Li Shanyuan says a word, don't have a weapon in his hand, even if the sword is in his hand, I am afraid he will not be able to break out. However, Lin Chunxi also has his own insistence in his heart, and he thinks that people in the cultivation should not be ambiguous with the powerful, let alone do things that hurt reason for the sake of the powerful, he has not done anything wrong, but he is a little sorry for the three junior brothers, and now the other party is taking these three people as hostages and blackmailing himself, but the more Lin Chunxi is pressed in his heart, the more he wants to resist, so he has made up his mind, and he will not compromise, let alone help the abuse, in his opinion, Li Shanyuan, no matter what the purpose is, can actually abandon the lives of several children, and it is by no means good, even if such a person ascends the throne, he will not be a good emperor who loves the people like a son。

At this time, Li Shanyuan poured two glasses of wine and handed one of them to Lin Chunxi, who took it and looked at Li Shanyuan quietly.

Li Shanyuan picked up the wine glass, "Everyone has their own ambitions, I don't force it, the mountains are high and the water is far away, don't pass by", just raised his head and drank the wine in the cup.

Lin Chunxi looked at Li Shanyuan, with mixed feelings in his heart, and then drank a glass of wine boldly, he knew that after drinking this glass of wine, the two would no longer be friends, and from now on they would be mortal enemies.

Li Shanyuan waved his hand, "Release people, send Lin Shaoxia out of the house", the general of the city defense battalion sitting on the side looked stunned, stood up suddenly, and arrived at the prince, "Prince, you can't just let them go, now that they are in my hands, I can't cheapen them...", he still wants to continue something.

However, Li Shanyuan's cold and piercing eyes made him shut up, he had never seen Li Shanyuan so cold, Rao was this battle-hardened brave general, and he didn't dare to look directly at Li Shanyuan's eyes, so he was so frightened that he had to stop talking and stood behind Li Shanyuan stupidly.

Lin Chunxi is actually a little grateful to Li Shanyuan for not taking advantage of the situation to make it difficult for himself at this moment, if he chooses to die at this time, not only will he definitely die here, but even the three junior brothers will not survive, but Li Shanyuan did not do it, I don't know if he is out of the last bit of conscience, or the demeanor of the prince, or maybe it is the jealousy of the Eight Princes' Mansion, but at the last moment, he did not do it after all.

However, Lin Chunxi knew very well in his heart that once he walked out of the gate of the Prince's Mansion, he would walk on thin ice in this capital from now on, and he would have to face crises all the time, but he didn't have time to think about it now, Lin Chunxi bowed to Li Shanyuan again, and Li Shanyuan turned his body and did not accept his salute.

Lin Chunxi turned around and walked towards the three junior disciples, and took the three of them together and strode towards the direction of the gate. At this time, the faces of everyone sitting at the banquet were very ugly, Ao Jian slowly stood up, and looked at Li Shanyuan with an inquiring eye, after a long time, Li Shanyuan estimated that Lin Chunxi had left the prince's mansion at this time, he closed his eyes, frowned, and nodded slightly at Ao Jian.

Ao Jian saluted Li Shanyuan, and then turned to leave, the elder behind him and Ao Kui hurriedly stood up and went out after him, everyone present knew that Divine Sword Villa was going to make a move on Lin Chunxi and the others.
