"Su Bingqing!" Li Xiao gritted his teeth and looked at the place where Su Bingqing had disappeared, his eyes cracking. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Qingxu Dao Chief!" Seeing Lao Dao's body shaking, he quickly ran over, hugged the crumbling Lao Dao, and said gratefully: "Thank you Dao Chang for taking a righteous action to save my Marquis' Mansion from the disaster of blood and light, this grace, the younger generation remembers!"

"It's just a small thing. Lao Dao reluctantly stood up straight, and said weakly: "Li Gongzi doesn't have to say thank you, these days, you don't come out of the mansion, for a while, the Praetorian Guard will come to take over the guard work of the Hou Mansion, Gongzi can rest assured, as long as you don't leave the Hou Mansion, naturally there will be no problem, Poor Dao was a little injured in the battle just now, and he needs to go back to recuperate, and say goodbye!"

After he finished speaking, he turned his head and wanted to leave.

"The road is long and slow!" Li Xiao hurriedly stopped him and asked him to bring a horse for him to walk, and the other party did not shirk, turned over on the horse, and walked away.

Seeing Lao Dao disappear into the crowd, Li Xiao turned back to Zhu Fu, who was stunned, and said: "Fu Bo, clean up the corpses of the guards, allocate some more silver taels from the treasury, and give them to the dead guards, and tell everyone in the Hou Mansion not to go out on this day, Su Bingqing, that woman, dare to leave cruel words, it is definitely not a joke." ”

"Yes, young master!" Zhu Fu nodded and ordered the people in the house to clean up the corpses in front of the door.

As Lao Dao said, it didn't take long for a group of 100 Imperial City Guards to hurry over, surround the Marquis' Mansion, and at the same time send His Majesty the Emperor's dictate to order everyone in the Marquis Mansion not to go out and move around without authorization in the near future.

Time flies quickly, a day has passed in a blink of an eye, at noon the next day, the original noisy Marquis's Mansion has become extremely quiet, from yesterday, the young master returned to the mansion, to this morning, more than a dozen people have died in the Marquis's Mansion one after another, most of them are responsible for procurement, less than half a step out, they were inexplicably cut off their heads.

Now in the entire Marquis Palace, people are panicked, and there is no longer the scenery of the past.

At this moment, Li Xiao was in the courtyard, quietly looking at the more than a dozen corpses covered by white cloth on the ground, in just one day, more than a dozen people died in the Hou Mansion, but anyone who went out of the mansion, whether it was a person or a livestock, was cut into two pieces with a sword, the means were cruel and extremely vicious.

If this continues, the guards and subordinates in the house will have to be driven crazy.

"Young Master!" At this moment, the old housekeeper Zhu Fu hurriedly ran over, panting and said: "Young Master, there is a person outside, she claims to be the Xiangyang Palace, Princess Pingyang's personal maid, and wants to see you, young master." ”

"Princess Pingyang's maid?" Li Xiao frowned, wondering in her heart, "What did she send her maid to do at this sensitive time?"

"Take her to the side hall. After thinking for a moment, he said something to Zhu Fu, turned around and walked towards the side hall.

......

At the same time, in the pavilion of the imperial garden, a middle-aged man wearing a dragon robe, a crown of beads on his head, a jade belt around his waist, a slightly chubby, and an elegant appearance sat in the pavilion, staring at the chessboard in front of him without squinting, and fell into deep thought.

Opposite him, there was an old Taoist with half-white hair, who was the Qingxu Daoist who rescued Li Xiao in front of the Marquis's Mansion yesterday.

In the middle of the sound, the middle-aged man grabbed a chess piece, put it on the chessboard, and said slowly: "Uncle Huang, thanks to you yesterday, otherwise, the kid of the Li family and the people of the Marquis' Mansion would be in a catastrophe." ”

"Your Majesty is polite, as a descendant of the royal family, even if Your Majesty doesn't say it, for the sake of the Great Song Dynasty, I will come to the rescue. Lao Dao looked at the chessboard, looked calm, shook his head and said: "It's a pity, I fell for the trick of that demon girl, although she promised that she would not enter the Hou Mansion, but she left cruel words, and did not let the people in the Marquis' Mansion step out of the mansion half a step, otherwise they would be killed." ”

"Hmph!" Song Wuzong's eyes were like torches, and he said indignantly: "This Qinglian Sect is so bold and reckless! It dares to kill the mansions of important ministers of the imperial court in broad daylight! If they dare to do this today, they will dare to kill the inner court tomorrow! This sect will not be eliminated! The royal family of the Great Song Dynasty will not be at peace!"

"Your Majesty. Lao Dao hurriedly comforted: "Qinglian Gate is powerful, now we are not their opponents, we still need to wait for the opportunity." ”

"That's what Uncle Huang said. Song Wuzong restrained his anger, took a sip of the tea next to him, and said worriedly: "It seems that the marriage between the Marquis of Zhenyuan and the Xiangyang Mansion is destined to be impossible, hey, yesterday Zhenyuan Hou used the jade card to contact me, said some movements of the grassland barbarians, and mentioned the six princesses." ”

"Sixth Princess?" Lao Dao was stunned, "Could it be that he wants to propose to His Majesty?"

"Hmm. Song Wuzong said noncommittally: "Although he didn't say it, I know what he meant, his son was deposed, and most of this life is like this, he has the identity of a concubine, and the second half of his life is worry-free, so I want to ask Uncle Huang, what do you think ......of this matter?"

"Your Majesty! No!" Lao Dao shook his head firmly and said: "The son of Zhen Yuanhou, when he was in the capital before, his reputation was not good, although his talent was good, but now he is a wasted person, and he will not have many achievements in the future, and the sixth princess has excellent talents, excellent roots, and far beyond ordinary people, if she spends hard work on cultivation, if nothing else, she will definitely be a top master in the future!

"Uncle Huang is right, I think so too. Song Wuzong nodded, "However, Zhen Yuanhou grew up with me since childhood, and he was loyal to me, and devoted his whole life to the border pass for my words, even her wife...... I can't stand him, and now, he only has one son left, not to mention being deposed, and he almost let people kill him at the door of his house, I ...... Hey, I don't know what to do in the face of this. ”

"Your Majesty, it is easy to solve this matter. Lao Dao stroked his long hair and said confidently: "Zhen Yuan's wait for this move is nothing more than for the sake of his son for the rest of his life, His Majesty can maintain, do not agree or oppose the attitude, first decree, canonize his son an official position, send him to a remote and safe place to stay for a few years, and when he returns to Beijing, the princess has almost already chosen the future horse, by then, the wood has been completed, at that time, His Majesty will give his son the title again, and choose a county lord from among the kings to marry, presumably, he will not say anything." ”

"Not bad!" Song Wuzong's eyes lit up, and he muttered: "But, what kind of official is given to his son? If it is too small, it will not be able to suppress the local officials at all, and if it is too big, it will provoke criticism from the DPRK and China, and in the end, what is required is that it must be absolutely safe, looking at the entire Great Song Dynasty, is there a safer place than Jingshi?"

"Your Majesty needs not be worried. Lao Dao smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, do you remember three hundred years ago, the first sect of the Great Song Dynasty, Longhu Mountain?"

"Dragon Tiger Mountain?" Song Wuzong was stunned, frowned and recalled: "I heard that Dragon Tiger Mountain was the first major faction in the rivers and lakes at that time, and the other four major sects were overwhelmed, and later, under the joint attack of the four factions, it took three years to completely eliminate them, it is precisely because of this incident that the Heavenly Master Sect, which is secretly supported by our royal family, has the opportunity to rise and replace Dragon Tiger Mountain and become the fifth major sect in the rivers and lakes, but what is the relationship between this matter and the son of Zhen Yuanhou?"

"Your Majesty is right. The old Taoist bowed his head and agreed: "Although Longhu Mountain was destroyed, with the help of the first emperor, a group of people escaped, and they were sent to the Penglai sea area by the first emperor, where the sect was re-established ......"

"Since ancient times, the Penglai sea area has been rich in all kinds of spiritual grass, rich in resources, has always been my Great Song Dynasty and the surrounding countries, the fat in the eyes, everyone wants to take it for themselves, but so far no country has succeeded, and my Great Song Dynasty is no exception. ”

"Back then, the first emperor rescued the Taoist priests of Longhu Mountain, secretly sent to the waters of Penglai, in an attempt to cultivate a behemoth, in preparation for the capture of Penglai in the future, who knows, the Taoist priests of Longhu Mountain were greatly injured, the talents withered, and they could no longer restore the former scenery, even if they were placed on Penglai Island, they were just ordinary small sects, the first emperor, knowing that things could not be done, gave up on them. ”

"However, the contact between my Great Song Dynasty royal family and Longhu Mountain has been maintained, and recently I heard that the Longhu Mountain Daomen on Penglai Island has been qualified to be promoted to the fifth-level sect, and there is only one country's official canonization, Your Majesty, you might as well canonize the Longhu Mountain Daomen as a fifth-level sect in the name of the Great Song Dynasty, and then send the Li family boy as the seven-grade Taoist envoy, worship under the Longhu Mountain Gate, and wait for a few years, and then transfer him back. ”

"Okay! This method is feasible!" Song Wuzong was full of red light, and said happily: "The Penglai Sea area is far away from the Great Song Dynasty, and the power of Qinglian Gate cannot extend there, in the name of the royal family, send the Li family boy to be a Taoist priest there, and with the protection of the people of Longhu Mountain, there will naturally be no danger!"

"Gonggong Xu!" turned his head sideways to face the old eunuch waiting outside the pavilion, and he said loudly: "You go and get a pen and paper immediately, I want to draw up a decree and canonize the Li family's boy! After thinking about it, he continued, "For the sake of fairness, let's give that kid a chance......!" When the edict was issued, by the way, I told the Li family boy that the sixth princess would be eighteen on her birthday the day after tomorrow and invite him to the birthday banquet. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" the old eunuch silently wrote down Song Wuzong's instructions and hurriedly ran to handle the matter.

Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, side hall.

Li Xiao sat on the first seat, staring expressionlessly, and a few steps away, a beautiful maid wearing an emerald green dress.

At this moment, she was like a proud peacock, raising her chin and looking at him with disdain.

"Li Gongzi!" the green-dressed maid said in a sharp voice: "My young lady asked me to tell you, she knows that you have always missed her, and I am very grateful to Gongzi for his love, but Gongzi and she have never been all the way, no matter now or in the future, she will never marry you! In order to avoid more innocent casualties, please hand over the marriage certificate!"

Li Xiao naturally heard the meaning of the maid's words, you Li Gongzi, it's not my dish, acquaintance, hurry up and hand over the marriage letter, otherwise the consequences will be very serious!

"I think the county lord may have misunderstood. Li Xiao said calmly: "I don't miss her, maybe, she has this qualification, but, I'm not just anyone who will worry about it, the marriage book, it's okay to hand it over, you must let Su Bingqing personally apologize and compensate the families of the casualties, otherwise! This matter is categorically impossible! Even if you kill me!"

"Hmph!" The girl in the green dress turned a deaf ear and said contemptuously: "Li Gongzi! Don't pretend! At the beginning, when you chased my young lady, you didn't put in a lot of effort! The whole capital knows about this, and now, when you say this, you just want to borrow my young lady to make a good reputation, and my young lady has expected it! I advise you to hand over the marriage certificate obediently! So as not to be embarrassed when you get it." ”

"Borrow your young lady to fight for fame?" Li Xiao was dumbfounded, "Your young lady's face is really big, this makes her think of it?" You go back and tell her that I am very grateful to her and sent my face to fight for my reputation, since I want to fight for fame, it is naturally impossible to just forget it,"

"Okay! good!" The girl in the green dress was angry, pointed at Li Xiao and said angrily: "My young lady thinks about you everywhere, you still don't appreciate it! Hmph! Then you are here to die!" After speaking, she threw her sleeves and left angrily.
