The princess is killing like crazy again

Xiao Yurong didn't care about being given a cold glance by Wang Fuxuan, and turned to walk towards Li Yaozhi behind him.

The elegant young man is still gentle and bright, just like the bright moon.

Even if there was a little rift, it seemed like just a harmless joke.

Li Yaozhi treated Xiao Yurong as always.

He stood there dignified yet humble.

"Your Highness." Li Yaozhi said with a smile.

Xiao Yurong looked at him and closed his eyes, "Yeah."

When Xiao Yurong got on the horse, Li Yaozhi tentatively reached out and supported Xiao Yurong's elbow.

Seeing that Xiao Yurong did not resist or avoid his approach, Li Yaozhi understood that Xiao Yurong wanted to understand the matter concerning Emperor Xiao, and he helped Xiao Yurong onto the horse.

He almost held Xiao Yurong half in his arms, and helped her onto the horse. The light fragrance on his body was like the morning dew in the mountains.

In fact, Xiao Yurong didn't need it at all, but even so, Li Yaozhi was used to helping Xiao Yurong.

Xiao Yurong said: "Call the princes."

"***, all the vassals?" The subordinate was stunned.

Xiao Yurong curled the corners of his lips, "They all swore to fight for my father and my brother, didn't they?"

The subordinate said seriously: "Of course."

"Then it's time for them to fulfill their oath." Xiao Yurong held the reins and said lightly, "Since they are fed by the emperor, they should be loyal to the emperor."

She raised her eyes to look at Xiao Yuxie at the city gate and smiled, "Let them fight for me."

Xiao Yurong raised an army to avenge his father. He used the excuse of conquering Wu to demonstrate to Xie and intimidate Liu, and then bring General Cui back to Yujing.

She certainly didn't expect those princes to really listen to her and go and attack a small Wu family for no reason.

Her intention was just to demonstrate and make them behave themselves, otherwise they would end up like Wu.

Tens of thousands of soldiers were ready to go, the crowds were like dark clouds, and the day was also about to be stormy.

Xiao Yurong shouted loudly on horseback: "Whoever kills the direct descendant of the Wu family in Yaocheng will be rewarded!"

"If you can kill Wu Shang, you will be promoted to a higher position!"

"Anyone who deserts the battlefield, is afraid of the enemy and is afraid of fighting, or delays military operations will be killed without mercy!"

The soldiers below raised their arms and shouted in unison: "Kill Wu Shang! Capture Yaocheng!"

On the other side, a letter covered with humid air from the south was brought to Yunzhou by a carrier pigeon.

The Liu Mansion was like an iron barrel from top to bottom, with strict guards. Even a fly that flew in would have its wings chopped off to see if it was poisonous.

The carrier pigeon was shot down before it even entered the Liu Mansion, just as it entered the main city of Yunzhou.

Xiao Yurong didn't intend to hide it from others. He dressed the carrier pigeons in gold and silver, giving off a luxurious vibe, and fed them until they were fat, as if he was afraid that others wouldn't know.

The letter and the pigeon were delivered to Abei. Abei stared at the pigeon with a twitching mouth for a long time, then took the fat pigeon and the letter to Liu Pinjue.

Although Liu Pinjue has almost stabilized the situation, there are still many problems left.

The entire Liu family was completely reshuffled.

When Abei arrived, blood in the main courtyard was seeping through the bluestone bricks and seeping down, with a strong bloody smell.

But he remained calm and walked in front of Liu Pinjue, "Master."

When Liu Pinjue saw the fat pigeon shining with golden light, he understood what was going on. He raised his hand and Abei handed the letter to him.

Liu Pinjue unfolded the letter.

Mr. Daoxi:

Sixteen years have passed, and I am fortunate to have been under your protection. The teacher has helped me to calm my temper, taught me tactics, and taught me how to ride and shoot. He has nurtured me with great care and taught me diligently.

My father taught me: "Those who succeed early must fail early." His voice, appearance, and smile are still there, but they are gone forever. I can't help but feel grateful. The way of heaven is unpredictable, and the world is uncertain. The blood feud is deep, and the old grudge is unforgettable.

The enemy is a counselor under the master's command. Fearing that the enemy will die soon, he dispatched troops to avenge his father, and he would not return until he won.

I feel ashamed of all your teachings over the years, and I hope you take good care of yourself.

Liu Pinjue raised his eyebrows.

This is... Don't say I didn't warn you.

Ah Bei hesitated for a moment and said, "Master, two of our clan members have died."

"Legitimate line or illegitimate line?" Liu Pinjue asked indifferently.

"Direct lineage." Abei answered sternly.

"Yeah." Liu Pinjue acted very indifferent, "Did it work? How did he die?"

Ah Bei replied, "The person in charge of the business had recently negotiated a deal for salt, so he went to Chuyuan to purchase. He was killed while passing through Chengchuan. The traces he left behind, as well as the rumors outside, were all attributed to the Xie family."

Liu Pinjue was calm, but felt a little regretful.

Anyway, there are many people in the tribe, so it doesn’t matter if two people die.

What’s annoying is that the dead person is still useful, intelligent and has status, and if he dies, he still has to find someone to replace him.

"Have you checked? Who actually killed him?" Liu Pinjue asked.

Of course he wouldn't believe that it was Xie who killed the person.

The Xie family has been maintaining the status quo in these troubled times over the years, and has recently been contradicting the royal family and showing goodwill to the Liu family.

Unless they were suffering from hysteria and going insane, they would not fail at the last moment and suddenly kill the direct descendants of the Liu family.

I'm afraid it's a frame-up.

"Looking at the traces...it looks like Fuyang Guard." Abei carefully observed Liu Pinjue's expression.

"Fuyang Guard?" Liu Pinjue read these three words and laughed out loud, "Ha."

Ah Bei said: "It seems that they didn't try to hide it, and they didn't seem to be afraid of being discovered by us. It's just that the rumor outside has been established, that's enough."

Liu Pinjue didn't seem to be in a bad mood, but rather somewhat happy. "Indeed, it's enough to make Xie family be cautious."

Ah Bei asked: "Master, what should we do now?"

"How?" Liu Pinjue thought.

So, a reply letter left Yunzhou with the gorgeous fat pigeon.

The person who was supposed to receive the reply has now arrived in Chengchuan.

Xie once again politely invited Xiao Yurong, who had transformed into a prostitute, in and served him good wine and delicious food.

Of course, the army was not brought in. Xiao Yurong left everyone outside, and only Xie Deshu and Yi Yan accompanied him.

Xiao Yurong looked around at the Xie family members around him, and they were just like the group in Yujing, appearing respectful but actually being disrespectful.

But there is one exception, the one next to her.

When Xie Deshu returned to Chengchuan, he still did not show any joy of going home. He just stood indifferently beside Xiao Yurong, not leaving her side.

Yi Yan was much more carefree. He looked carefree and happily sat next to Xiao Yurong and enjoyed his meal.

It really made me angry. Xiao Yurong looked at Yi Yan as if he was disgusted, and then looked away.

The old leader of the Xie clan was very polite. "It's been a long time since we last met. You are now going to attack the Wu clan, but you are visiting Chengchuan again. What's the important matter? If there is any need, the Xie clan will definitely do its best."

Cannibals are soft and short.

Yi Yan was enjoying the meal so much, Xiao Yurong should have been more polite.

But Xiao Yurong was not polite: "Visiting? I am the monarch and Xie is the minister. How can there be a visit? I am here to inspect. You, the Xie family, should kowtow to me three times and nine times to welcome me in."

"All under heaven belongs to the king. All the people in the land are his subjects." Xiao Yurong sneered, "Could it be that Xie has stayed in Chengchuan for too long and has forgotten that he is a subject."

The sound of stringed instruments and orchestras suddenly stopped.

Xiao Yurong's lack of respect made the Xie family members present angry and embarrassed.

In Yujing, at the feet of the emperor, Xiao Yurong was extremely noble.

But now it is Chengchuan, the territory of the Xie family. The emperor is far away and the sky is high, so Xiao Yurong can be said to be arrogant.

"*** is now in high spirits and looks down on our Xie family."

"There is no end to the extravagance, no end to the power. There is no end to the delicacies, no end to the money. There is no end to the songs, no end to the gifts. There is no end to the wealth, no end to the festivals. If it were me, I would do the same."

"This is Chengchuan, you are too..."

"Too arrogant?" Xiao Yurong looked at the person who said this with a half-smile, "You'd better understand that I am Chu Le's mistress. Who are you to dare to say such things to me?"

She picked up the wine bottle and threw it forward.

Breaking the cup is the number.

With a "clang", the wine bottle overturned on the soft carpet and the wine spilled all over the floor.

Xie Deshu raised his gun and blocked Xiao Yurong's way.

There was a sound of fighting outside the house, and Li Yaozhi led a group of soldiers into the hall with a sword in hand.

All the Xie family members present who were good at martial arts and had weapons immediately grabbed their weapons and stood up.

The private soldiers of the Xie family outside also surrounded the entire hall with weapons in hand, surrounding all the people brought by Xiao Yurong.

The atmosphere became tense.

"Pointing weapons at the royal family, it seems that Xie is really tired of living." Only Yi Yan was still sitting at the table, throwing grapes into his mouth.

After hearing this, the old sect leader, who had been sitting on the seat like a rotten wood without moving or saying a word, finally moved.

He looked around at the indignant Xie clan members and said, "Put down your weapons. How can you behave in front of a distinguished guest? Do you really want to rebel by using force in front of the emperor?"

"Master!" someone said indignantly.

"I said put it down!" the old patriarch shouted.

Those people finally laid down their weapons reluctantly.

But the Xie family's private soldiers outside the door did not let go, and neither did Li Yaozhi and his men.

Li Yaozhi blinked his dark and moist eyes and said gently, "I'm sorry to have frightened Your Highness."

The candlelight behind him made the halo of light vary in size, making him look even more flawless and beautiful than jade.

Xiao Yurong smiled and waved his hands, "Why are you frightened? The one who is frightened is probably our Xie family's old patriarch."

The old patriarch finally turned his cloudy eyes and looked over, "What the hell does this mean?"

"I am just a little curious. The Xie family obviously has no ambition or ability to rebel, but they have the arrogance and capital of the clan, so they are so indifferent to our Xiao family." Xiao Yurong smiled, "Am I right?"

"You are joking. Your presence has brought honor to our humble residence. How dare we, as your subjects, neglect you?" said the old patriarch.

"Hmm, hmm..." Xiao Yurong listened, supporting her chin with her hand, and responded perfunctorily and gently as if she was listening to a child.

Then she smiled and asked, "Why did you refuse to be summoned?"

The already stagnant atmosphere suddenly dropped to freezing point.

Xiao Yurong finally dissected the illusion of peace and threw out the most intuitive and bloody problems.

She then asked, "Is it because of Liu?"

In the silence, no one dared to answer her.

She didn't care and continued to ask herself, "Well, that should be the case. After all, emperors come and go, but the aristocratic family remains. I wonder how long it will take for another emperor to come? Besides, the emperor is in Yujing, which is far away."

"But the Liu family is different. Yunzhou is right next to Chengchuan. They can attack us at any time if they want. We won't have time to react or prepare. Moreover, the Liu family has deep roots, with three officials in four generations. It seems that they have a greater chance of winning?" Her tone rose slightly.

Xiao Yurong paused, waiting for someone to give her an answer.

but.

So Xiao Yurong continued, "The most important thing is that their patriarch is now Liu Pinjue. People like Liu Pinjue are really hard to fool."

Xiao Yurong's tone suddenly dropped and became cold, "At least compared to the arrogant and extravagant Zhaoyang girl, he is much harder to fool."

What she said was exactly what Xie was thinking.

The Xie family and even many other noble families think so. As long as the family's prosperity is guaranteed, it doesn't matter who the head of the family is.

Everyone was quiet, except Yi Yan who was still eating grapes mindlessly.

"Ah? The Xie family wouldn't still be thinking that no matter who attacks, they just need to surrender and serve them?" Xiao Yurong covered his mouth in surprise.

She smiled and said, "Anyway, we are all dogs, so it doesn't matter who is the master."

The faces of the Xie family members present were extremely ugly.

Although Xiao Yurong was telling the truth, it was a bit too harsh.

"Hey? Did I say something wrong?" Xiao Yurong tilted her head, a hint of romantic cruelty revealed on her charming face.

The old patriarch said in a voice as loud as if dry grass was being crushed: "I, Xie, have absolutely no intention of switching to another family."

"Oh my, look, even the idea of ​​changing the family has been used. My Xiao family hasn't even had anyone died yet, and I'm already thinking about changing the family." Xiao Yurong's smile became even brighter.

Liu cannot behave as Xiao Yurong said, at least not now, and cannot be accused of treason.

So the old patriarch's tone became more serious, "I have absolutely no such intention!"

"Want to join the Liu family? Don't even think about it." Xiao Yurong suppressed his smile.

The old patriarch seemed to realize something, and suddenly raised his eyes to look at Xiao Yurong, with a cold light flashing in his turbid eyes.

Xiao Yurong continued slowly, "I sent people to kill the direct descendants of the Liu family, but what was left behind was evidence of the Xie family. Now everyone in the world knows that the Xie family has been dissatisfied with the Liu family for a long time and is determined to resist to the death."

She laughed: "You, the Xie family, have no way out."

With a "bang", the old patriarch hit the ground hard with his crutch and stood up tremblingly.

"After our father passed away, you refused to accept the summons." Xiao Yurong said softly.

She stood up and said, "Later, my brother succeeded to the throne and asked Liu to come to the capital to report on her work, but you refused to accept the invitation."

Xiao Yurong looked at him, "Now I am standing in front of you, and you still refuse to accept the call."

"If Mrs. Xie is so ignorant, then I will have to come here myself." She smiled softly.

The old patriarch stood there trembling for a long time, and finally sat back down as if exhausted.
