The whole world is waiting for the devil to break up

After that snowfall, news spread that the leader of the Demon Cult was still alive and might be the new favorite of the Prince of Pingyang's mansion, but fearing the influence of the mansion, this news was only circulated in a small area.

A lot of people from the Jianghu came to inquire soon outside the Pingyang Palace. Before Li Zhi's identity was confirmed, no one dared to enter the Palace to provoke trouble, but this news was enough to cause an uproar in the Jianghu.

In the Pingyang Prince's Mansion, Li Zhi's quiet life was as comfortable as usual, and he was not affected in any way.Since meeting Yinzhu and Bai Haitang, Bai Haitang has become a frequent visitor to the palace, visiting every now and then. Li Zhi specially greeted Xiao Han for this reason.

Xiao Han knew Bai Haitang, so he had known her for many years, so he was a little surprised that she was Li Zhi's person, but he agreed without hesitation, but seeing Bai Haitang coming to the door every day, every time Holding something,? Xiao Han is very curious.

But if Li Zhi didn't say anything, Xiao Han just endured it.

After several days of snowfall, it finally cleared up today.

Bai Haitang didn't come that day, but Li Zhi went out in person, to the silver building named Zhuyue Pavilion that Bai Haitang is currently managing. Yan Jiu still followed him and waited downstairs Not long after, Li Zhi, who had just gone up the stairs, came down again. The pale and handsome young man was wearing a thick white fox cloak, and his face was extraordinarily delicate.There are still quite a few guests in the Moon Pavilion, most of them are young girls who are as young as flowers. When they saw the handsome young man at first glance, they all fell silent. The young man glanced at him faintly, revealing a bit of cold danger, which was even more shocking. Heartbroken, it wasn't until the guards in black escorted the young man out of the door that everyone in the Yueyue Pavilion came back to their senses.

The girls' cheeks flushed slightly, looking at the attendant behind the handsome young man wearing the clothes of the palace guards, they were all inconceivable-so it seems that this person is the future concubine of the prince?

Compared with those amazed or envious gazes, Li Zhi was more concerned about the scrutiny from the Jianghu people mixed in them. He was outside the palace, and no one dared to bother him.No one in Jiangnan would dare to underestimate the power of Pingyang Prince's Mansion, or perhaps it was the residual prestige accumulated by him as the leader of the Demon Cult in the past, which still made many people in Jianghu who didn't like him very jealous.

Bai Haitang sent people to the carriage in front of the door, and also noticed the sight of her surroundings. She took it for granted, after all, she was an old fritter who had been in the rivers and lakes for more than ten years, and since she came to Suzhou for nearly a month, she played a Not to mention the reputation of being not easy to mess with, not to mention being backed by the palace, her kung fu is not bad.

But he saw Li Zhi standing in front of the carriage, suddenly stamped his feet, and turned his head to look in one direction.

There were people coming and going on the wet street covered with thin snow, nothing unusual, but Li Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly, and Bai Haitang asked: "Master, is there a problem?"

Li Zhi shook his head, he just saw a familiar figure - a noble young man in a thick winter coat was hurrying, his cheeks were flushed, he turned his head frequently along the way, the glance he inadvertently made Li Zhi see clearly His face was Xiao Ningchen.

He didn't bring any guards with him, and his expression was obviously wrong, so he almost called for help.

Li Zhi bowed his head and ordered: "Please come over with that child."

Bai Haitang quickly found Xiao Ningchen's location, the young boy was almost running away, she looked confused, but she still walked over without saying a word.

Li Zhi thought for a while, and led Yan Jiu to catch up.

It has been snowing for several days in a row, people who have been holding back for several days went out today by coincidence, there were too many pedestrians on the street, Xiao Ningchen walked through the crowd with a flustered expression.He stopped by a corner of the wall, and raised his hand to press his heart. The beating heart under his chest was already aching, and he hurriedly gasped for breath to ease his breath.

At this time, the hem of the lotus-colored embroidered skirt appeared in front of his eyes, Xiao Ningchen's heartbeat suddenly accelerated in shock, and he heard a female voice with a smile.

"Young master runs really fast."

Xiao Ningchen was taken aback for a moment, then slowly raised his head.

Bai Haitang stood in front of him, thinking that her slightly sly smile was very friendly.

When Li Zhi followed, he saw the young boy fighting against Bai Haitang with a white face.

He seemed terrified, his hands clenched into fists, and his half-bowed back became very stiff.

Like a frightened little beast, it was about to collapse at any moment, seeing the paler face of the little boy, Li Zhi said: "She is Haitang, my subordinate."

Xiao Ningchen heard the sound and looked over, and after seeing Li Zhi, he relaxed.

Seeing this, Bai Haitang felt a little guilty, and said with a dry smile, "I didn't do anything."

Li Zhi nodded to indicate that he saw it, and found that Xiao Ningchen's face was becoming more and more ugly, he stepped forward over Bai Haitang, and when he helped Xiao Ningchen up, he felt his pulse without any trace, "Are you okay?"

Xiao Ningchen regained his breath and shook his head lightly.

Li Zhi saw that he was just tired from running, and he was not injured or poisoned, so he was secretly relieved.Looking at the immature face in front of him that somewhat resembled Xiao Han, he fell silent, he had never had much communication with Xiao Ningchen, so he really shouldn't talk to him, but he is Xiao Han's younger brother, so he couldn't ignore it.

Li Zhi was about to say something, when he saw Xiao Ningchen gasping for breath, not only intentionally or unintentionally, he glanced in one direction a few times, he followed his line of sight, and saw a few figures quickly passing by at the end of the street, and then When he looked back at Xiao Ningchen, he had already lowered his head, apparently relieved, which seemed strange to Li Zhi.

"Where's your guard?"

Xiao Ningchen seemed to be terrified, and kept drooping his head without speaking.

Li Zhi had no choice but to ask: "Do you want to go back home together?"

This time Xiao Ningchen nodded quickly.

The strange feeling in Li Zhi's heart became more and more intense, so he asked Yan Jiu to help him into the carriage first, and after explaining to Bai Haitang a few words, he followed into the carriage.

Xiao Ningchen rested alone in the carriage for a while, his expression had gradually calmed down, his pale face was still expressionless, but a pair of jet-black eyes showed a bit of stubbornness.Li Zhi saw him sitting opposite, and nodded politely when he came in, as if nothing had happened just now, but the fingertips of his hands holding the hem of his clothes were tinged with blue.

Li Zhi guessed that it was cold, so he opened the cage under the seat, found a snow-white blanket, and put it on Xiao Ningchen's shoulders silently, the young boy raised his head slightly in surprise, and then hugged the blanket tightly to thank him in a low voice.

Li Zhi shook his head slowly, and only asked: "Do Yan Er and Yan Liu know that you are here?"

Yan Er and Yan Liu are the guards assigned by King Pingyang to Xiao Ningchen. Li Zhi has been in the palace for half a month, and he already knows that Xiao Ningchen is very studious and spends all day studying in the mansion. King Pingyang was afraid that he would be bored, so he let him When I went to the academy, some officials heard the news and sent their sons to accompany them to study, but they had a few more companions.

In the past, apart from going back and forth between the palace and the college, Xiao Ningchen would occasionally go out with a few students, but every time he would bring guards.

And except at night, when everyone eats together, Li Zhi hardly meets him.

Xiao Ningchen's eyelids trembled, his hands clutching the blanket tightened, and he said in a low voice, "Forgot."

Li Zhi had expected it a long time ago, and asked again: "Where are they? Do you want someone to send a message?"

Xiao Ningchen pursed his lips tightly, and finally nodded, but unexpectedly said a lot of words, "I just went out with a few classmates, and they followed me all the time. If I find it annoying, let them go far away. So I accidentally got separated just now..." He said, looking at Li Zhi with a pair of black eyes, looking very sincere, "I found that someone was following me, they seemed to be local gangsters nearby, I was scared , just kept running, kept running, and then I saw you."

These words are full of loopholes, which ruffian dares to trouble the second son of the Wangfu?

But seeing the child's face was ugly and his relationship with Li Zhi was weak, he thought that he would not tell the truth to him, Li Zhi thought for a while and nodded slowly.

"I see."

After asking where Xiao Ningchen and Yan Eryan Liu were separated, Li Zhi asked Yan Jiu to find someone to report the news, so as not to worry if there was no one there.

And Xiao Ningchen curled up in the carriage wrapped in a small blanket, fell asleep after a while, and his face began to turn blue, his physical condition was already extremely poor, this time he was frightened and caught a cold, he was afraid he might get sick.

When he returned to the palace, Li Zhi sent the sleeping Xiao Ningchen back to his room, and specially reminded the princess to find a doctor for Xiao Ningchen to take a look, and then he returned with the things he brought back from the Moon Pavilion. room.

Xiao Han finished his busy work for a while, and began to hide in his room all day without going out, soaking himself in the pile of medical books, from the Book of Changes to the Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic, after familiarizing himself with it, he began to learn acupuncture and moxibustion.After Li Zhi went out, there was only one kitten to accompany him, and he didn't think it was boring.When Li Zhi entered the study, he saw him holding a set of silver needles and studying a small wooden figure on the table.

He was very devoted to research, but Li Zhi didn't pay attention when he came over. Li Zhi didn't say anything to remind him, so he sat down beside him and watched Xiao Han pull out a three-inch long silver needle, compared them, and then opened his sleeves ...

Li Zhi asked in surprise, "What are you doing?"

Xiao Han turned his head abruptly, and when he saw Li Zhi, his frowning brows relaxed immediately, and he put the needle back carefully before he said with a smile: "I want to try what it feels like to pierce a real person."

"Try yourself?" Li Zhi was shocked.

Xiao Han felt that the back of Li Zhi's hand was a bit cold, so he stuffed the exquisite small hand stove on the case into his hand, and asked without answering: "It's cold outside, my hands are cold."

Li Zhi was really afraid that he might hurt himself, so he hugged the stove and thought for a while, then stretched out his right hand.

"If you want to prick me, prick me, I have Gu worms in my body, it will be fine."

Xiao Han laughed and said: "How can I use you to test the needle?" He held Li Zhi's hand, wrapped it in the palms of both hands to warm them, and dismissed the idea.

"I won't try anymore, just learn slowly."

Li Zhi was skeptical.

The two sat by the stove and talked for a while, Li Zhi told Xiao Han about meeting Xiao Ningchen, Xiao Han's first reaction was impossible, "Really those bastards? Who dares to touch the second son of the palace?" ?”

"Recently, there have been a lot of Jianghu people in Suzhou. I don't think this is an easy matter. I asked Bai Haitang to investigate."

Xiao Han thought for a while, then nodded and said: "Understood, I'll go and see if my mother asked me."

Although every time Xiao Han saw his second younger brother, he would sneer and bully him once, just because the younger brother deserved a beating, but he was really in danger, Xiao Han was still very caring.Xiao Han left as soon as he said he would, but Li Zhi stayed in the study. In Xiao Han's study, there were many business affairs thrown to him by the King of Pingyang. He unfolded the rice paper and pressed the corners with a jade paperweight. When Xiao Han came back, he saw Li Zhi standing in front of the bookcase looking at the painting.

When Xiao Han opened the door, he unintentionally brought in a gust of cold wind, which made Li Zhi shiver.

Seeing this, Xiao Han took off his cold robe, walked over and said: "I asked the second child, the person chasing him should be a Jianghu person. He said that he may have accidentally bumped into someone, so he offended him." Those people, those people probably don't know who he is."

Li Zhi frowned slightly when he heard the words, "People from the Jianghu, are you here to look for me?"

Xiao Han hurriedly said: "Probably not, the second child bumped into him accidentally."

Li Zhi still blamed himself a little. He could tell that Xiao Han was comforting him, he bent his lips and smiled, and didn't say any more, he just wanted to turn around and wait for Bai Haitang to find out who they were, and he must deal with those people well.Afraid that Li Zhi would think too much, Xiao Han looked left and right, and finally saw the new painting on the desk, and changed the subject with a look of surprise.

"This painting is made by Zhizhi himself? I never knew you could paint."

Li Zhi said: "The painting is not good."

Xiao Han retorted without even thinking about it, "What's wrong, how beautiful it is!" He still made a gesture to comment, and when he touched a spot with his fingertips, he stopped suddenly, and said in surprise: "The person in this painting is a branch. Is it you?"

This is nothing more than a monotonous ink painting, either black or white on paper.

The painting is a bamboo building in the mountains. On the upstairs terrace, a few people gather around a table of wine and vegetables. Downstairs, in front of the forest, three people are drying medicine together, and one is dancing a sword.

The sun is gorgeous and the years are quiet.

But Xiao Han could tell at a glance that the person sitting upstairs and looking sideways at the person beside him was him, and he clearly didn't even see half of his face in the painting.

Li Zhi was very surprised, "How did you see that?"

Xiao Han said firmly: "Anyway, I knew it was you at a glance." Although Li Zhi only showed half of his face in profile, and the drawing was quite sloppy, the smiling man sitting beside him, no matter his facial features Or temperament, they all resemble Jiang Yun.

Xiao Han hated Jiang Yun so much that his teeth itch a while ago, how could he not recognize him?

What Li Zhi painted was indeed what he saw on the day he left the small building, unexpectedly Xiao Han could see that it was him, and he rolled up the painting uncomfortably.

"The painting is about my birthday."

Because Li Zhi was obviously partial to Jiang Yun in the painting, Xiao Han knew that Li Zhi was still worried about Jiang Yun, but he couldn't say anything good to Jiang Yun's face, so he didn't want to say it. At Li Zhi's words, his eyes widened and he was jealous, "When was your birthday? Did they all spend it with you?"

Seeing his envious expression, Li Zhi couldn't help laughing, "They sent me away that day."

Xiao Han was still unwilling, and murmured: "I actually missed your birthday..."

Li Zhi comforted: "If you miss it, you will miss it. I don't love birthdays either."

"It's different." Xiao Han retorted rationally: "You don't love your birthday, it's two different things whether I spend your birthday with you or not. I actually missed it. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have left!"

If he hadn't returned to Jiangnan, Li Zhi might have come to see him that day.

Thinking of this, Xiao Han was so regretful that his intestines turned green, "You asked Baili Xun to give me a birthday gift, you must have reminded me that your birthday is coming soon, but unfortunately I didn't expect it, and left... "

The key is that the gifts that represent longing are all fake, and Baili Xun helped pick them out.

After Li Zhi explained it a few days ago, Xiao Han directly threw the red bean bead chain carved with ruby ​​into the warehouse, and he never wanted to see it again in his life.

The more Li Zhi listened, the more amusing he became, "I'm not..."

Xiao Han seemed unable to listen to anything. He took the painting in Li Zhi's hand and unfolded it again. He stared at Li Zhi who only showed his side face in the painting, and then looked at Li Zhi again, his face full of regret.

"Is it too late for me to give you a present?"

Li Zhi's heart was filled with irony, and he smiled lightly following Xiao Han's intention: "Yes."

Xiao Han was still dissatisfied, and looked down at the agate bead string in Li Zhi's hand, "Did he give it to you? You didn't have it when you painted it."

Unexpectedly, Xiao Han looked at it so carefully, Li Zhi showed helplessness, "He said it was my mother's relic."

All right.Xiao Han secretly gave up the idea of ​​changing Li Zhi for a string of Buddhist beads. He didn't want to see Li Zhi wearing a string of Buddhist beads at such a young age. The color is so gorgeous, it looks very weird...

But this is the relic of my mother-in-law.

Xiao Han nodded thoughtfully, "Then I'll think about what I want to give you."

Xiao Han didn't give up if he didn't give gifts, Li Zhi could only follow him, but Xiao Han put down the painting and picked up a small kit on the desk, Li Zhi was anxious to stop him, he had already opened the brocade. bag, and took out a small sapphire seal, Xiao Han turned to the bottom and took a look, thinking it was not his.

"Red Leaf Mountain Man..."

Xiao Han was shocked again, and asked Li Zhi with the seal: "The painters my mother likes, there is this Hongyeshanren, Zhi Zhi, why do you have his seal, why did you arrest him?" ?”

Li Zhi paused, "Why should I arrest him?"

Xiao Han thought for a while, and guessed: "In a few days, it will be my mother's birthday. You want to get his painting and give it to my mother? This Hongye Mountain man has gained fame in the world in recent years, and his paintings are precious. "

Li Zhi endured it, couldn't help giving him a blank look, grabbed the seal and put it back in his bag, "The seal is mine, otherwise you think how I managed to save my fortune in Haoyue Villa...don't tell it!"

Xiao Han suddenly realized, so he had no choice but to keep his mouth shut, but his heart was filled with amazement.

Just because the painting of the Red Leaf Mountain Man was held up by the leader of Fuyue Sect.

It is true that the paintings are good, but they are not as good as those of the famous teachers. Because Fuyuejiao paid thousands of dollars for paintings, the paintings of Hongye Mountain people are expensive. Who knows that this is the painting of the Fuyuejiao leader?

Xiao Han expressed admiration, Li Zhi really knows how to make money.

Li Zhi blushed from his admiring eyes, so he had no choice but to tell the truth.

"I want to give Wangfei a painting. I asked Yan Ba. Wangfei loves painting, especially the landscape paintings of Huangshan Layman. I asked Bai Haitang to look for them, but the person who got the painting refused to sell it, only willing to exchange it. I have already asked Bai Haitang I went looking for famous paintings, and after much deliberation, I might as well paint one myself in exchange..." Li Zhi frowned as he spoke, and said with a distressed face: "Those famous paintings are too expensive..."

Anything that can be solved with money is nothing to worry about, Xiao Han immediately said: "I will give you how much money you need."

Li Zhi got angry when he saw how rich and powerful he was, and glared at him and said, "No, I'll take care of it myself."

But his glance was not powerful, but extremely cute, Xiao Han just wanted to hug him into his arms, and in fact he did so, he smiled very softly: "Okay, okay, whatever Zhizhi says is what, If you want my help, just ask, I have been working very hard to save your fortune recently."

Li Zhi pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, and finally answered, "Yes."

However, this is the first time Li Zhi gave a gift to the princess. He hoped that he would do the whole process by himself, and prepared this gift very carefully. In the end, without Xiao Han's help, after a few days, he took a new painting and exchanged it for Huangshan Layman's. He carefully put away the cloud map, even Xiao Han didn't dare to touch it.

Xiao Han thought for a while, then secretly changed the ancient painting that he originally intended to give to his mother, so as not to collide with Li Zhi's gift, otherwise wouldn't it be a waste of Li Zhi's efforts to practice painting every day until late at night?

Princess Pingyang's birthday is approaching under the anticipation of many people. As in previous years, Princess Pingyang has no intention of hosting a big banquet, and only posts a post to invite some familiar relatives and friends to the palace as guests.

Finally, the day of the concubine's birthday came, and it happened that the weather was beautiful and it was a sunny day.

Just as Xiao Han asked someone to send the pair of pendants he had prepared and the painting that Li Zhi exchanged for to the princess, Xiao Ningchen ran over. Xiao Han blocked people from the door with a very unkind attitude, "I I won’t tell you what gift I gave to my mother, don’t try to be cliche, I will never lend you money.”

Xiao Ningchen rolled his eyes at him, "Childish."

Xiao Han snorted, "Why are you here?"

Xiao Ningchen raised his chin and pointed behind Xiao Han, "I want to find Brother Li."

Xiao Han was shocked, "Your mouth is so sweet today!"

Xiao Ningchen showed disgust on his face, and was about to pass Xiao Han and run into the house, but Xiao Han stretched his legs and stood in front of him, Xiao Ningchen clenched his fists angrily, "Get out of the way, I have urgent matters with Brother Li .”

Xiao Han didn't take it seriously, "I don't know why you have something urgent..."

"what happened?"

When Li Zhi heard the movement, he saw Xiao Han and Xiao Ningchen confronting each other in front of the door. Hearing Xiao Ningchen said something was wrong, he hurriedly straightened his clothes and came.

Xiao Han immediately frowned, Li Zhi didn't sleep well last night, and was woken up by the movement outside again in the morning, he managed to coax people to go back to catch up on sleep, and he was woken up after sleeping for a while.

Li Zhi wasn't angry, he didn't fall asleep just now, seeing Xiao Ningchen's anxious expression, he asked: "Just now I heard that you have something urgent to do with me?"

Xiao Ningchen nodded hastily. To him who was always very calm, all his excessive emotions would appear abnormal. He opened his mouth to speak, then looked at Xiao Han, and then closed his mouth tightly.

Xiao Han was really puzzled, "I'm your own brother, why can't you tell me?"

Xiao Ningchen frowned, "I don't want to tell you."

Li Zhi looked amused, and stepped aside to get out of the way.

"Then come in and talk."

Xiao Ningchen hesitated for a while, and entered the room first.

Li Zhi and Xiao Han looked at each other, the latter smiled and signaled the guards brought by Xiao Ningchen to stay outside, and followed Li Zhi in.Xiao Ningchen was so impatient that he couldn't sit still, while looking at Xiao Han unhappily, he still didn't drive him away, and hurriedly asked Li Zhi: "I heard that you are the leader of the Demon Cult, can you take care of Jianghu affairs?"

Hearing this, Li Zhi and Xiao Han were both shocked.

"That's what's been said outside."

Xiao Ningchen looked at Li Zhi and said, "Someone said that you are the leader of the Demon Cult that the boss went to Fuyue Mountain to marry a few months ago. I want to ask you something."

It turns out that the outside world has already spread the word. Li Zhi has retreated and practiced painting these days, and has no idea what happened outside.No matter if it spreads, Li Zhi and Xiao Han are not in a hurry. Compared to this, he is more curious about what Xiao Ningchen, an awkward kid, wants to ask him, "Tell me."

Xiao Ningchen asked with a rather serious expression: "Did you send someone to slaughter the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau in Yangzhou, and now you are still chasing and killing the young master who escaped?"

Li Zhi was stunned when he heard that, "What bodyguard agency?"

Xiao Han also looked strange.

Xiao Ningchen didn't know Li Zhi, but he knew his elder brother. Looking at the reactions of the two of them, he guessed that they probably didn't know about it. He pondered for a while, and explained: "A few days ago I went out to play with my classmates and deliberately dumped him. After losing Yan Er and Yan Liu, they were assassinated. It was the young master Cheng Feng who rescued us. He was hunted down all the way before, and he was seriously injured. After saving us, he fell into a coma. He found a place to live, and only after he woke up did he realize that he was being hunted down by some people from the Demon Cult. I saw you outside that day, and I was discovered by those people in his place."

Li Zhi showed a clear face, "The person who chased you back then was a member of the Demon Cult?"

Xiao Ningchen said: "Cheng Feng said, they said they are people from Fu Yue Sect."

Li Zhi was silent.

"I really didn't expect that Fuyue Sect has long been far away from the Jianghu, and there are still so many people in the Jianghu who use the name of Fuyue Sect to do evil." Xiao Han felt sorry for Li Zhi, and turned around to reprimand Xiao Ningchen, "Who Tell you to get rid of the guards? Listen to you, have you done this kind of thing more than once? Do you know how dangerous it is outside?"

Xiao Ningchen resisted ignoring him, and looked up at Li Zhi, "So, you didn't do it?"

Li Zhi said seriously: "Since the fire a few months ago, Fuyue Sect has disappeared in Jianghu. I have never ordered anyone to do things in the name of Fuyue Sect, and I have never heard of this Zhenyuan Escort Bureau. "

After hearing this, Xiao Ningchen looked distressed, "But just last night, Cheng Feng suddenly disappeared. I guess he was probably taken away by those people. If it wasn't for your subordinates, how could I rescue him?"

Xiao Han reminded: "You want to save your benefactor, but you don't know how to come to me and ask me for help?"

Xiao Ningchen said as a matter of course: "You are not from the Jianghu, so you can't help."

Xiao Han was annoyed, "I'm not from Jianghu, but we are from Pingyang Palace. You can send Yan Er to solve this matter for you. Don't tell me you've read too many stories and really believe that Jianghu is about Jianghu?"

Xiao Ningchen turned his face away and didn't look at him, but stared at Li Zhi stubbornly.Li Zhi looked at him, then looked at Xiao Han silently, thinking that although Xiao Han is not from the Jianghu, but the Pingyang Palace is so big, and there is a Qianji Pavilion under it, it is more than enough to find someone from the Jianghu.

"Ok."

Under the insistence of the young man, Li Zhi said helplessly: "I'll send someone to investigate."

Xiao Ningchen immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and bowed deeply to Li Zhi, "Thank you very much."

"However," Xiao Ningchen said, "I want to go too."

Li Zhi was quite flattered, and looked at Xiao Han in a bewildered look, really want to take him there?Xiao Han patted the back of Li Zhi's hand, reassuring him, and took this kid out for a walk, as if he had seen the world.

Therefore, Xiao Han and Li Zhi took Xiao Ningchen out of the door, first went to the Moon Pavilion, when they got off the carriage, Bai Haitang was standing in front of the door to welcome her, when Xiao Ningchen saw her, his eyes suddenly lit up stand up.

This was the first time that Bai Haitang saw Xiao Han after arriving in Suzhou, and now that Xiao Han was the man of their leader and their backer, Bai Haitang naturally deserved compliments, took a few people upstairs and sat down, and was about to say a few nice words, Li Zhi first told her about the Zhenyuan Escort, and Bai Haitang was puzzled after hearing this.

"What the hell? Pretending to be us and killing people?"

It's not the first time that this kind of blame has happened to Li Zhi. Not long ago, Xiao Han asked Yan Jiu to investigate the case in Taihu Lake. It was the enemy of the family who did it, and then blamed the devil.

This matter was only found out a few days ago, and another one came.

Bai Haitang was so angry that she didn't even care about her appearance, she raised her waist to greet the eight generations of those people's ancestors, and found that the expression of the second son of the palace changed again and again, so she restrained herself a little, and went to find someone out of anger.

Xiao Han also ordered Yan Qiyan to follow him to help, and when he turned around, he heard Xiao Ningchen asking Li Zhi in a low voice, "Is that elder sister an elder of your demon sect? I heard people say that she is very good at martial arts."

Li Zhi said: "No, it's just the incense master."

Seeing their conversations, Xiao Han was more serious than the other, and burst out laughing, "Where did you hear that, Bai Haitang's kung fu is just average, not as good as Yan Er Yan Liu."

Xiao Ningchen obviously didn't believe it, "I heard that when Zhuyue Pavilion first opened, many people came to provoke trouble, and the stewards here came to fight one by one."

Xiao Han laughed angrily, and didn't want to waste any more time explaining to the stubborn and blind kid that those were ordinary hooligans, and your brother, kid, is really not the trash you imagined.

Li Zhi was also speechless, but Xiao Ningchen looked at him with gradually burning eyes.

"What about you, you are the leader of the Demon Cult, your kung fu must be better than theirs?"

When Xiao Han heard the excitement, he slapped the table and said: "That's right! You don't even think about who you are, Brother Li, the number one master in the world, even if the six sects join forces, they are not your opponent... ..."

If he wanted to praise Li Zhi, Xiao Han could talk for three days and three nights without stopping.

But Xiao Ningchen, a person who only focused on studying, was actually very interested in Jianghu affairs, and he listened carefully to the extremely exaggerated story of the Demon Cult leader fighting against the six sects that Xiao Han said seriously.

Li Zhi sat a little further away in silence, speechless.

Bai Haitang teamed up with Yan Qi to search the entire Suzhou, and finally rescued the young man named Cheng Feng before dusk.Bai Haitang subdued the group of fake Fuyue Sect members, and brought them to the two masters of the palace for interrogation in front of the suffering masters. Only then did she know that these people were hired from the black market. They are also relatives of the suffering master—in order to seize the Zhenyuan Escort's property, even blood relatives were able to do it, Xiao Ningchen was shocked after hearing this.

Cheng Feng was seriously injured. He was tortured by those people to the point where he had only one breath left. After learning the truth, he was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot.

Seeing that it was getting late, Bai Haitang promised to help take care of her, and the group left.

On the way back, Xiao Ningchen was very puzzled, he felt the ugliness of people's hearts, and felt a little unhappy along the way.Xiao Han responded twice casually, but it was rare that he didn't taunt and hit him again.

Fortunately, several people returned to the palace before the concubine's birthday dinner began.

At this time, Xiao Ningchen hadn't figured out why people's hearts could be so vicious, but when he got off the carriage, he thanked Li Zhi again, and also thanked Xiao Han by the way, and seeing Xiao Han's eyes was not so disgusting anymore, as if he never A good-for-nothing turned into a good person with a little use—because Xiao Han ordered Yan Qi to investigate the matter. If it was true, he would find out that he could commit a murder and murder, and Xiao Han would definitely not let it go. .

Xiao Han didn't care about it, he just grabbed Li Zhi and left.Don't think that he didn't see that Xiao Ningchen's eyes looking at Li Zhi have become very admiring, if there is another person who likes to cling to Li Zhi like Saburo, he will spend less time alone with Li Zhi in the future.

The protagonist of today's banquet is the princess, her natal family also came to give gifts, and there are relatives and friends with the prince, so there is no chance to talk to Xiao Han and the others, but I still took the time to talk to Li Zhi.

She was really satisfied with Li Zhi's gift.

Even King Pingyang, who used to be unreasonable, rarely praised Li Zhi for his intentions.

Therefore, Li Zhi's heart, which had been anxious for several days, finally settled down, his brows and eyes brimming with indelible joy, his whole body became radiant, and everyone at the banquet saw his dazzling face, and all of them were amazed by it.

Li Zhi obviously forgot that Wang Hao's birthday banquet was also the first time he appeared in the eyes of everyone in the name of the palace, and he was also the protagonist tonight.
