After glaring at Li Yuebai fiercely, the demon slayer walker strode away.

Xue Zhongbing looked at the back of the walker and said with a smile: "This old man, his temper is really weird. Brother Li Xian, today's contemptible people wanted to invite you to a birthday banquet, but I heard Yue Qing say that you have always loved to be quiet and don't like to be noisy. Therefore, the contemptible people have prepared a private banquet in the house, waiting for Li Xiandi to come to talk to each other, and he will rest when he is drunk, I don't know what the virtuous brother wants? ”

Li Yuebai saw that Xue Zhongbing's speech and demeanor were quite benevolent and gentlemanly, and the misunderstanding had been eliminated, and Yue Qing's affection was even more affectionate, so he replied briskly: "I knew the name of the prince early in the morning, and I am fortunate to meet today." Shicai acted recklessly for a while and let go of the assassin, but the son didn't think it was too much, and the contemptible people were grateful, how could he dare to refuse? ”

Xue Zhongbing was overjoyed when he saw that he was about to get a warrior, and then ordered the guards to pack up the five corpses, and then report the case to the government, only saying that the assassin had killed innocent people and fled.

Li Yuebai only hated himself for being reckless for a while, and even more hated the demon slayer who used demon magic to kill innocents by mistake, so he couldn't help shaking his head and sighing!

Seeing this, Yue Qing comforted him and said: "Big brother doesn't have to blame himself, just blame these people for their thin lives, our Lord Xue has the ability to reach the sky in the imperial court, don't say that there are many people, no matter how many people there are, Lord Xue can settle down." Today, Lord Xue is eager to seek talent, if the eldest brother can serve Lord Xue, the eldest brother will soon soar in the future! ”

Xue Gongzi waved his fan and smiled silently, listening to this praise, he was very useful.

Not long after, more than ten young and strong young people carry the waist (a kind of sedan chair) to come, the upper end of the waist is the jasper roof, the green yarn around the hanging, can sit four or five people. Behind the little maid are eight maids, the maids are wearing emerald green tight clothes, gold brocade rolled pants, and small boots, all of them are pretty.

Xue Gongzi gave the first seat to Li Yuebai, sat on the side, Yue Qing and Manager Wang sat in the back row, and the four of them sat in the back of the sedan chair. The little servants carried the sedan chair, the maids followed, and the guards hugged behind them, looking at the Xue Mansion and leaving.

I don't know how many streets I walked, how many corners I turned, and suddenly I saw the lights in front of me, and a large wall several feet high came into view. On the high wall, every more than ten zhang is a soldier dock battlement, there are soldiers holding knives on guard, and go forward for a while, see a vermilion lacquer gate, the plaque on it is impressively written "Xue Gong Mansion" four big characters, the guards in front of the door see, open the door to greet, the guards behind the waist retreat.

Walked forward for a while, but saw an aconitum door, the two sides of the aconite door are a wall, after entering the aconitum door, I saw a vermilion lacquer gate again, the two sides of the gate are rammed earth stone walls, the stone wall is coated with agarwood red powder on the surface, the fragrance is dense, it makes people feel intoxicated. The beams and timbers of the houses in the door are all precious cypresses, and the jade gold steps are all over the place, and the beams and columns are decorated with the pearls of the night, which are extremely luxurious and luxurious, just like a fantasy.

Outside the vermilion lacquer gate, at the pavilion corridor on both sides, there are several more people on duty, and there are sixteen halberds placed on both sides of the porch, which can be seen that the owner of the mansion is not a prince or a prince. Looking up, Zhu Lou Qi Pavilion is in a stream, carved beams and painted buildings belong to each other, there is a courtyard in the court, the courtyard contains a courtyard, and the stone mountain spring pool can be seen from time to time.

The ground is paved with rubbish under his feet, and the light is like a mirror, Li Yuebai sighed secretly: "This Xue Mansion is magnificent and magnificent, and it is a palace that is pretended. If ordinary people see such a grand style of Xue Mansion, they only hate themselves for being born and dying! ”

The little guys carried the sedan chair and continued to walk towards the inner courtyard of the Xue Mansion, where the buildings and pavilions were covered, strange flowers and plants were everywhere, and there were more than 100 houses of all sizes. After marching for a while, I walked through a bowing field, and I was faced with a large hall. After the little maids got off the sedan chair, several waiters came out of the main entrance of the lobby, and the little maids and the maids bowed down and retreated silently.

Xue Zhongbing, Li Yuebai and the four of them walked into the lobby, the room was lit with candles, and various curtains, tents, tooth tables, and white sandalwood beds were furnished. The silver flat screen is neatly furnished, the tent is decorated with pearl network and Yingluo pendant, and all kinds of coral jade and agate strange toys are placed between the ledge of the hall house.

Xue Gongzi led Li Yuebai into the inner hall, worshiped Xue's mother and other relatives, and after sitting and chattering for a while, Xue Li and the four walked out of the lobby, walked along the west corridor for a while, and entered a west courtyard gate, which is Xue Gongzi's usual residence.

Xue Gongzi is indifferent by nature to women, and has not yet been married, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince likes Xue Gongzi, and often talks about his virtuous ability in front of Emperor Pingwu on weekdays, and wants to match the third sister Princess Changle to him. After Xue Gongzi learned about the tone, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, so he didn't marry a wife for the time being, just waiting for the dragon to join the phoenix.

Although Li Yuebai was born in a large family, how could he have seen such a luxurious place, and he couldn't help but think of the poetry of his ancestors: "The master lives here and has been a high-ranking official for ten years." There is rotten meat in the kitchen, and there are rotten banknotes in the storehouse. Who can know the suffering of the people, and ask you between your flesh and bones. Is there no poor and unfortunate who can endure hunger and cold? How to be alone and want to raise for a thousand years? ”

Today, when I saw such a luxury in Xue Mansion, I was shocked, and I realized the meaning of sadness and helplessness in the poem, and my envy was suddenly swept away, and I was silent.

It was early autumn, and it was nearly the second watch, and the weather was still very hot. The four of them walked into the Flying Rain Pavilion, where the night banquet had already been prepared, and the maids in the pavilion stood with their heads bowed. There is a reason for the name of the Flying Rain Pavilion, there is a waterfall above the pavilion, it is drawn from the artificial spring pool, the waterfall torrent falls straight down to the top of the pavilion, the pavilion is surrounded by the Baodian well railing, the people in the pavilion only listen to the spring above the head of the murmuring, the four eaves fly like a waterfall, the air is cool, even if the weather is very hot, the pavilion is extremely cool, very happy and comfortable.

Xue Zhongbing and Li Yuebai sat down on the chairs in the pavilion in the order of host and guest, and Yue Qing and Steward Wang stood aside. A family member came to report to Xue Zhongbingyu: "The master has rested in the east wing. ”

Xue Zhongbing snorted lightly and replied: "Don't bother him for the time being, this old man, he is not in a good mood today, and Brother Li Xian is here, it is embarrassing to come." However, today's assassin carried out the assassination, thanks to his great help, pass on my meaning, in a few days send his old man to the prince's side to live temporarily, and give another hundred taels of gold, and talk about the gratitude of the son. ”

Steward Wang said: "The blood of the Yin that the mage needs is not available now, and I don't know how to ...... it."

Xue Gongzi smiled: "You don't have to be embarrassed about this matter, I have my own arrangements, just listen to my orders." There is another, more urgent thing to do. ”

Steward Wang said, "What do you mean?" ”

Xue Gongzi said: "When the female assassin escaped in a hurry today, she left behind a jade pendant palace silk, you can take a closer look." ”

Xue Zhongbing took out the jade pendant left by Tang Mingxiang from his arms, and Steward Wang took a closer look, was shocked, and said, "Isn't this ......?" ”

Xue Gongzi motioned for him to shut up, and said: "Today I will pick up this jade pendant in public, everyone will see that the witnesses are conclusive, you will collect the witnesses, sign and co-sign, tomorrow Your Majesty and my father will return to Beijing, and the assassination will be presented to the emperor together with the palace jade pendant, I will see how that old thing ends!" After speaking, he whispered a few words to Steward Wang, and Steward Wang said that he had promised to retreat.
