The prince is very fierce

The Prince is Fierce. Chapter 40 of Hidden Dragon Scale Shadow. The Chivalrous Poetry Club was in the middle of a bloodbath, so naturally it couldn't continue. The shock of beheading on the spot was too great for the literati in Jiangnan. After Xu Buling left, many talented men and beautiful women ran out of the Jinling Poetry Club with pale faces, and the air was filled with a smell of urine.

However, compared to the horror of seeing the murder scene, most people still felt happy. Many people knew how much shit Yang Yingxiong had done behind the scenes to make a fortune so quickly. Just for Nanshan Port, the amount of money spent by merchants every year was not a small amount. In the past, it was impossible to say it openly because of the King of Wu behind the scenes. Now Xu Buling came to help the people of Jinling get rid of the harm, and everyone from the common people to the wealthy families was naturally grateful. Even if the reason for the murder was a bit far-fetched, no one complained for Yang Yingxiong.

On the road back to the Xiao Family Book Club, Xu Buling walked slowly, his expression as calm as usual. Xiao Qi was wearing a black scholar's robe, with a few snowflakes falling on her shoulders. She walked beside Xu Buling, occasionally tilting her head to look at Xu Buling, then frowning and thinking, wondering what she was thinking about.

After several times, Xu Buling raised his hand and patted the snow on Xiao Qi's shoulders:

"Qi Qi, what are you thinking about?"

Xiao Qi was helpless with this name that gave her goosebumps, and did not retort, but just whispered:

"Why did you want to kill Yang Yingxiong? I just deduced that even if you found an excuse, this move would inevitably make King Wu dissatisfied. He might not be cold to you if he needs you, but he will definitely remember this grudge. In the long run, offending the richest King Wu is not a good thing..."

Xiao Qi did not say some words, but the meaning was very clear. Xu Buling broke the situation set by Song Ji and had a grudge with Song Ji. Even if Prince Su did not rebel, he would definitely find a way to pull down the Song Ji lineage, which was intended to reduce the power of the vassal states, and support a new monarch. This would reduce the choice of making enemies with other vassal kings. If he offended all the vassal kings of the Song family in advance, he would have no other choice but to rebel.

Killing Yang Yingxiong would not only make people happy, but would also be detrimental to the general situation. According to the position of the person in power, this choice was wrong.

Xu Buling smiled lightly, a little innocently:

"Didn't you ask me to kill him?"?

Xiao Qi didn't want to take the blame, and frowned, saying, "Don't push the responsibility onto me. You asked me if I wanted to get rid of harm for the people, of course I wanted to, but I was just curious about how you get rid of harm for the people, so I asked like that. Who knew you would kill people without considering the consequences? There are many ways to solve problems, and killing is the most radical way. Sometimes nothing can be solved, and it will only cause more trouble..."

Xu Buling spread his hands, "How can this be called radical? This means that my Xu family will take care of things that the court can't handle, and I will kill people that the court can't kill. My Xu family has always been like this. The whole Jiangnan is trying to protect itself and doesn't want to touch Yang Yingxiong, so this matter can only be done by me. I have already learned about it in the past few days. I asked you to see if you think he can be killed. If you think he can be killed, I will naturally do it."

Xiao Qi had nothing to say about this. According to the rule of law, Yang Yingxiong could not escape the death penalty. If we don't consider the messy external factors, Xu Buling's approach is indeed no problem.

"I didn't say that you were wrong to kill Yang Yingxiong. I just think you were too direct. Sometimes you could be more tactful. The best strategy is to attack the enemy's plans. It's best to use your brain instead of force. We've only been in Nanjing for four days, and you killed three people, basically one a day, without saying a word. If you felt that the emperor was wrong that day, would you have killed him without saying anything?"

"It's not like I haven't killed anyone before..."

"..."

Xiao Qi held back for a long time, but couldn't say anything. She felt that the handsome young man next to her was a madman. At that moment, he could only snort faintly:

"The child is incorrigible."

Xu Buling did not mind this criticism, and smiled and said: "I am not a reckless man, I just used the simplest method to solve the problem. Killing Yang Yingxiong can eliminate harm for the people, and it has no effect on me, that's enough."

"What about King Wu?"

"I give King Wu ten courages, and he dare not do anything to me. It is a dereliction of duty to allow his subordinates to harm the people. If it were my grandfather Xu Lie, he would hang King Wu up and whip him."

Xiao Qi frowned slightly, but did not refute it. The styles of the generals and the families of scholars are too different, and there is no point in discussing it. She thought about it and said softly:

"Anyway, you did the right thing in this matter, and it was beyond my expectation. Just think of it as you helping me get rid of Yang Yingxiong. Anyway, I don't like him for a long time."

Xu Buling was satisfied, and he curled his lips slightly to reveal a bright smile: "Then how should you thank me?"? ?

Xiao Qi slowed down her pace and looked at Xu Buling with a slightly fixed gaze: "Don't push your luck. I don't like your way of doing things. I praise you only when you do the right thing, but this method can easily lead to irreparable mistakes and is not advisable."

Xu Buling shrugged slightly, pretending to be polite, and stopped talking.

The night was quiet, and the lanterns under the eaves emitted a dim light, reflecting the flying snowflakes.

The two walked side by side on the street, and fell silent. The atmosphere gradually became a little awkward.

Xiao Qi didn't like this kind of atmosphere. She liked to control everything within her control, so she changed the topic again:

"Just now Tang Bailun asked you to show up. I thought you were going to write a poem to shock the whole audience, just like those high-spirited scholars. But it turned out that you really shocked the whole audience. You ruined a good event. In our Jiangnan, people who use violence at poetry gatherings are called barbarians..."

There was a bit of disdain in his words, but not hate.

Xu Buling had already figured out some of Xiao Qi's personality. Just like those strong women, she always taught people a lesson and never said nice things to please men. But if she was really dissatisfied, why would she waste her breath on these nitpicking things?

After Xu Buling listened quietly, he tilted his head and chuckled:

"Do you want to hear me read poetry?"

Xiao Qi's eyes were slightly cold, and she walked to the side: "No, tell others about your messy obscene words, I'm not interested."

Xu Buling sighed, raised his hand to catch a few snowflakes, and said casually:

"The Zhao guest has a Hu tassel, and the Wu hook is bright in the frost and snow.

The silver saddle shines on the white horse, which is as swift as a meteor.

Kill one person every ten steps, and leave no trace for a thousand miles.

When the matter is done, brush off the clothes and leave, hiding your body and name.

..."

The wind and snow are long, and the lights are silent.

On the side of the empty street, a young man in white clothes, with a white sheathed long sword hanging from his waist, is a little casual, and recites poems in a calm tone, even a little cynical.

Xiao Qi paused, stared at Xu Buling in front of him with wide eyes, and opened his mouth slightly, as if he had seen something incomprehensible.

"...Even if I die, my chivalrous spirit will remain, and I will not be ashamed of being a hero in the world. Who can write for you, the Taixuan Sutra in your old age?"

After reciting "Xia Ke Xing", Xu Buling turned around and looked at Xiao Qi who was standing ten steps away in a daze, raised his eyebrows and showed a bit of pride:

"Qi Qi, how are you, are you shocked by your brother?"! !
