Li Xingzai stood in front of Song Bokang, draped in a blanket and wearing only a pair of calf-nose trousers. He kept sniffling and looked nondescript, without the demeanor of an imperial prince.
Song Bokang was stunned for a long time, and then asked tentatively: "Your Highness, why is there a fire?"
"Hey, Lao Song, you are a bit unreasonable!"
Li Xingzai's hand hit Song Bokang's shoulder hard, leaving Song Bokang confused. But Li Xingzai's words immediately after, made him break into a cold sweat.
"The two singers you sent are going to kill me."
"Uh...that's unlikely, right?"
Fordler, carrying two human heads, appeared behind Li Xingzai. Azhu Acui, a pair of charming interpreters, now only had two bloody heads left. People were shocked, and it was strange to think of them.
How beautiful she was when she was alive, how much terror she can bring to everyone now.
"How is it impossible? You don't know that these two women have a vicious heart. I love them very much, but I didn't expect that they would set fire to me. Fortunately, Fordler escorted him in time and killed the two of them, so I survived.
. But it scared me a lot." Li Xingzai said this, but there was no sign of fear on his face. At the same time, he waved his hands around with a proud look on his face.
Song Bokang looked at the imperial prince in disbelief. He now looked like a scoundrel, a gangster, a beggar... but he didn't have the slightest bit of the imperial prince's demeanor.
Even if the Sixth Prince was once a loser, he was romantic, cynical, and somewhat romantic, so why did he willingly sink to this level now?
Song Bokang was stunned, and suddenly remembered that Li Xingzai had stayed in Toad Village for a long time. Thinking about Cheng Dalei's character, everything seemed to make sense.
His mind was racing, thinking about what this matter meant, which was Li Xingzai's intention for doing this. Soon, he calmed down and said: "Rearrange His Highness's residence and protect him strictly. Never let something like this happen again."
occur."
His eyes glanced at Fudler intentionally or unintentionally, and he said in a cold tone: "Let him live separately from His Highness."
Li Xingzai was startled, and the smile on his face disappeared instantly.
Song Bokang smiled and said: "It's getting late, and His Highness was frightened again, so he'd better rest early."
The main hall of the City Lord's Mansion was brightly lit. Lu Luo snorted coldly and said: "He must have set this fire himself, and he dared to kill our people."
"Sir, do you want to give him some clues and let him know that this is not Chang'an? Does he really think he is the prince of the empire?"
He sent Song Bokang with a smile on his face and said, "Well, that's all he can do now. I don't know what to be angry about."
Lu Luo was stunned and said, "Sir, he is provoking us."
"I don't think it's provocation. It's nothing more than a means of acting mischievously." Song Bokang said: "It's like a little daughter-in-law who is angry at her husband's family. All she can do is throw the bowl and keep a straight face.
You can’t do anything else, so don’t worry about it.”
Originally, Song Bokang was still a little wary of Li Xingzai, and he treated him with admiration after three days of separation. He was once a waste, but that does not mean he will always be a waste. But now Li Xingzai can only use this childish method to express his emotions. But this childishness
What's the use of his methods? He killed two singers, and Song Bokang could continue to send the singers to monitor him. If he burned one courtyard, Song Bokang would have three courtyards and four courtyards burned for him, even if he burned the entire city lord's palace.
Song Bokang didn't care if it was burned to ashes.
After all, he was not a being worthy of Song Bokang's fear.
…
Qinchuan Pass, General Mansion.
Compared to the tension in Chang'an City and the turbulent undercurrents in Liangzhou City, Qinchuan Pass can be said to be full of flowers. Even in the chilly winter, you can still feel the prosperity here.
It was a sunny day. Although the cold wind was howling, the sun was still shining brightly. The stove was turned on in the study, and it quickly became hot. Cheng Dalei nestled on the floor, listening to Ah Xi's report on the recent intelligence.
The situation in Chang'an City is still not good. It's hard to say whether Cheng Dalei supports the imperial court or the Righteous Cult, or perhaps neither. The two sides are still at odds with each other, and there are fewer and fewer wars between them. However, the peripheral princes and Jianghu
But the battles between grass and grass happen every day.
Today Blackbeard killed Wang Muzhi, and tomorrow Ma Chaoan killed Sun Wuliu. The names were all mixed up, and Cheng Dalei couldn't figure out who belonged to which force.
Today Cheng Dalei received a letter, which was sent by Gao Feihu from Jiangnan. Gao Feihu's village in Jiangnan is considered a branch of Toad Village. The purpose of sending the letter was to see if Cheng Dalei wanted to send troops. Gao Feihu himself wanted to
Take a dip in this muddy water.
"Master, should we go to Chang'an?" Ah Xi asked.
"Do all the brothers in the village want to go?"
Ah Xi nodded awkwardly.
Cheng Dalei sighed helplessly. Although schools were built in Qinchuan Pass and efforts were made to cultivate talents in Shanzhai, the nature of the country is easy to change and hard to change. At heart, these people are still a bunch of rough and tumble people. They are prone to hot-blooded attacks and explosive spirit.
.Now Chang'an City is in a mess, and the situation is changing rapidly. It is impossible to say that Toad Village can sweep away the princes, expel the bandits, occupy the Dragon Court, and then make a prime minister and general.
This is what Gao Feihu is thinking, and most of the copycat brothers are also thinking this way.
"Reply and tell Gao Feihu that there is no need to send troops to kill him. He still can't take care of his own affairs. If he is just joining in the fun, just stay with me."
Ah Xi nodded in agreement, indicating that he understood. Judging from what he meant, he was a bit ready to make a move, but Cheng Dalei had no intention of sending troops, so he stayed calm from now on.
"What's going on over there in Liangzhou City? It's been so long and there's still no troops sent out?" Cheng Dalei asked.
Ah Xi nodded and said: "Master, there may be something wrong with the situation in Chang'an City?"
"Oh, what's wrong?"
Li Xingzai's guess was good. Liangzhou City did have a hidden connection to Toad Village. In fact, not only Liangzhou City, but also several surrounding cities, Cheng Dalei kept his eyes open. He was a person who always attached great importance to intelligence work.
"According to the information gathered by my subordinates, Song Bokang seems to have no intention of sending troops recently, and there is no news in the city. It is said that His Highness has been drinking and drinking, playing music every night, and there was a fire in the city lord's palace recently. The specific cause has not yet been found out.
"
Cheng Dalei was confused. Since he didn't plan to send troops, why did Song Bokang pick up Li Xingzai? With Li Xingzai's mood, he couldn't wait to rush to Chang'an at this moment.
Of course, Cheng Dalei didn't want Li Xingzai to meet Lin Shaoyu in Chang'an. Cheng Dalei also didn't want to see who killed whom. But the current situation was really a bit strange.
