Dragon Pattern Roll Set
Chapter 226 [Night Life Change]
A sound of "there is an assassin" broke the tranquility of the Prince's Hall.
"Isn't it?" Zhan Zhao frowned, "There were assassins just after I came back? Could the princes be too impatient?"
Bai Yutang was also a little puzzled, "I also feel a little anxious."
"Go out and have a look." Zhan Zhao ran out with a chicken leg in his mouth.
Bai Yutang sighed, looked at the dishes on the table that hadn't touched a few chopsticks, got angry, and thought that whoever sent the assassin, if he was caught, he would definitely beat him up!
When Zhan Zhao ran to the courtyard, he saw a few guards walking around in the white snow, their eyes were full of confusion, and they were holding a big knife very nervously.
Zhan Zhao looked up, the corner of his mouth twitched...
I saw a row of holes almost as tall as a person on the courtyard wall in front of me, what a row of holes that seemed familiar...
Zhan Zhao glanced back, Bai Yutang supported his forehead.
"Your Highness, this is..." Su Yi ran over in horror and saluted Bai Yutang, "This subordinate is not good at work, and he didn't even know that there was an assassin intruding."
Bai Yutang stroked his chin and asked, "What about the assassin?"
"I don't know, we didn't see it, there seems to be a white shadow, but it doesn't seem to be..." Su Yi also looked helpless, "What's going on?"
Zhan Zhao looked back, Bai Yutang gave him a wink.
Zhan Zhao nodded, and said to Su Yidao, "Take someone to search around, they may have already run away."
"Yes!" Su Yi immediately took people to search.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang returned to the room, closed the door and locked it, and then turned around...and saw a man in white sitting at the table eating.Isn't it Tianzun...
Bai Yutang looked up at the sky, "Why did you come here?"
Tianzun chewed on a chicken wing and aimed at Bai Yutang.
Zhan Zhao sat down next to him and poured him a drink... Logically speaking, Tianzun's light-handed infiltration would not be discovered by others. He probably lost his way again and had no choice but to dig out a hole.No need to ask, Tianzun is definitely worried about Bai Yutang, so he came in to have a look.
Bai Yutang sat down next to Tianzun, saw him staring at him, sighed, and obediently called, "Master."
Tianzun nodded.
Bai Yutang took some food for him and asked, "Why are you here?"
"I'm afraid that something will happen to you, anyway, they know you are Bai Yutang, and they know that I am your master, so what are you afraid of, it's justified!" Tianzun raised his face.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, then shook their heads, "No way!"
Tianzun looked at the two with half a chicken wing in his mouth.
"That Xuanyuan Jie is not a good bird!" Zhan Zhao kept waving his hands at Tianzun, "Your status is so high, be careful that he plots against you!"
Tianzun looked at Bai Yutang again.
Bai Yutang also nodded, "While serving Tianzun and Zhan Zhao some food, I told you what happened at today's banquet."
Tianzun touched his chin, "Is there such a thing? It's a bit strange that a tiger's poison does not eat its children."
"By the way, Tianzun, where is my grandfather?" Zhan Zhao asked.
"It's in the barracks." Tianzun said, "I'm on his side alone."
"Oh..." Zhan Zhao felt relieved.
Bai Yutang didn't dare to let Tianzun go back by himself, for fear that he would get lost or cause trouble on the way, so he might as well stay by his side.
……
After dinner, Su Yi came back and said that the assassin might have escaped, and blamed himself very much.
Bai Yutang nodded to show he understood.
However, Bai Yutang attracted an assassin the very night he stayed, and this news caused quite a commotion in the Imperial City of Beihai... Everyone speculated, who sent it out?Is it the eldest prince or the third prince?So impatient...
Only Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang knew that those princes were innocent disasters.
Bai Yutang became the prince... To be precise, he became the prince in a daze, but he didn't know what to do, and Xuanyuan Jie didn't explain to him.
So, with doubts, everyone decided to go to bed early, and let's talk after getting enough sleep...
However, when Tianzun came to visit suddenly, sleeping became a problem.
There are two beds in Bai Yutang's room. Originally, he decided to live with Zhan Zhao, but he didn't dare to leave Tianzun in the room alone. What if he ran out in the middle of the night and caused trouble?So, Bai Yutang had to share a room with Tianzun, watching him sleep all the time so as not to cause trouble, Zhan Zhao went back to live in the room, but it was just next door.
Bai Yutang was lying on the bed, but he couldn't sleep, tossing and turning, all he could see was the look on Xuanyuan Jie's face when he said to his sons that "it's better to be stupid".
He was lying on the bed with his face up and his eyes staring at the top of the bed in a daze, when he heard the window next door open, and then the window on his side also opened, Zhan Zhao poked his head in.
Bai Yutang looked up at him.
Tianzun turned over and continued to sleep wrapped in a quilt.
Zhan Zhao sneaked in lightly and touched Bai Yutang's bedside.
Bai Yutang looked at him.
Seeing that Zhan Zhao was holding two things in his hands, he bent down and stretched out his hands, and began to fumble around.
Bai Yutang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and asked in a low voice, "Mao'er, what are you doing? You are molesting me in the middle of the night?"
As soon as the words came out, Tianzun over there suddenly turned around and turned back, opened his eyes a little, and looked at this side.
"You're talking nonsense, it's not like I haven't touched it before! I haven't touched your uncle before?" Zhan Zhao was quite proud.
Bai Yutang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, looked at Tianzun again, squinted his eyes and looked at this place with more interest - so it was like this?Have you touched it everywhere?real or fake?
Zhan Zhao finally touched the position of Bai Yutang's knee, pressed it a few times, then quietly reached under the quilt, stuffed two warm things, and placed them on his knee.
Bai Yutang was slightly taken aback.
Zhan Zhao finished his work with his eyes closed, and was about to go back.
Bai Yutang quickly reached out and grabbed his sleeve, pulling him to sit down.
Zhan Zhao sat down, and Bai Yutang lifted the quilt again, "Is it cold?"
"It's okay." Zhan Zhao got in.
Bai Yutang took out the cushion placed on his knees, and saw two warm packs.He and Zhan Zhao bought this kind of warm bag on the street when they entered Beihai City. It seems to be very popular. There are two layers of non-flammable cotton on both sides, and two pieces of charcoal in the middle.The charcoal is heated and sandwiched in a warm bag, which is very warm on the body.
Seeing that Zhan Zhao bought two, Bai Yutang originally thought that he was afraid of the cold, but he didn't expect—they bought them to cover his knees.
Bai Yutang remembered that when he went to Syracuse with Zhan Zhao to investigate the Tianmu cannibalism case, Zhan Zhao knew that his tendons were astringent due to practicing internal skills, so if he stayed in a place that was too cold for a long time, his knees would be sore... So it turned out that This cat has always been in my heart.
Bai Yutang glanced at Zhan Zhao who was choosing a comfortable angle to go to bed beside him—that cat still remembered things that he had almost forgotten!This cat is so sweet that my heart is so sweet...
On the other side, Tianzun turned over, smiled and arched into the quilt again.
But then again, Bai Yutang has been in Beihai for a while, but his knees have never been sore.He has recently adjusted his internal energy much more smoothly than before. Now that he thinks about it—maybe it has something to do with being taught all kinds of martial arts by all the devils in the devil palace...
There was one more person in the bed, so it was naturally warmer, and with the effect of the warm bag, Bai Yutang gradually felt sleepy.
……
I don't know how long I slept, everything around me was very quiet, the feeling of silence unique to snowy days... until all this was broken by a scream.
Bai Yutang opened his eyes, and Zhan Zhao also opened his eyes—the scream seemed to come from far away, but there was indeed someone screaming.
After the two looked at each other, they subconsciously turned to look at the opposite bed.
I saw that Tianzun seemed to have woken up a long time ago, wrapped in a quilt, with his head on his side resting his cheeks, thinking about something.
After a while, I heard a "bang bang bang" gong from the foot of the mountain, followed by a commotion, and gradually, the commotion became louder and louder, as if the entire imperial city had woken up.
Bai Yutang sat up, Zhan Zhao also got up and put on his clothes, put on a cloak and went back to his room, took his sword and opened the door, just in time to see Suyi rushing in.
"Lord Yin, is the crown prince awake?" Su Yi saw Zhan Zhao and hurried forward to ask.
Zhan Zhao gently knocked on Bai Yutang's room door.
Bai Yutang's voice came from inside, "What happened?"
Su Yi reported, "Your Highness, the sixth prince was assassinated and died."
Zhan Zhao was stunned, and opened his eyes wide, "That scream just now?"
Su Yi nodded.
After a while, Bai Yutang opened the door and came out, frowning, "Assassinated?"
"Yes!" Su Yi said, "Just now there was a scream from the Sixth Prince's palace, and then there were soldiers patrolling the city to report that the Sixth Prince died in his bedroom."
Bai Yutang frowned, and said to himself, "How come Beihai is like Kaifeng, you can encounter murders when you come here?"
Zhan Zhao also felt his temples twitching. Earlier, the fourth son said that he and Bai Yutang must have a bad relationship, otherwise they wouldn't die everywhere. This time it really came true.
After all, Bai Yutang was not familiar with the sixth prince. He had just met him and had no impression, so he asked Suyi, "Is there anything I need to do?"
Su Yi shook his head, "Your Highness, just be careful, I will order to strengthen the guard."
"Oh." Bai Yutang nodded.
Su Yi went down.
At this moment, I saw Fu Gao running in with an umbrella in one hand and a heater in the other, "Your Highness."
Seeing that there was a lot of snow on his body, Bai Yutang asked, "What's the matter? Have you checked?"
Fu Gao chuckled, "The servants spread the word quickly, but those military masters basically don't want to talk too much."
Bai Yutang nodded, motioning for him to come down to the eaves.
Fu Gao walked over, put away the umbrella, and said to Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, "I went to inquire just now, and the scream came from the Sixth Prince's palace, and several of his servants ran into the room and slammed into the room. Look... ouch!" Fu Gao shrank his neck, "The Sixth Prince's head is in a different place!"
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were stunned, "Beheaded?"
"Yes!" Fu Gao nodded, "It is said that the corpse is at the door, with its head on the table, facing the door, and the little eunuchs who served him were so scared that they wet their pants!"
Zhan Zhao frowned slightly, "Then... is it the Sixth Prince himself who screamed?"
"It sounds a bit similar!" Fu Gao nodded.
"That happened not long ago, and the murderer has not been found?" Bai Yutang asked, "Aren't there any guards nearby?"
"There's no reason." Zhan Zhao was puzzled, "The guards are very strict, right?"
"That's the monster!" Fu Gao nodded, "The guards near the palace are very strict, and each of His Highness's mansions has guards on the third floor inside and the third floor outside... Besides, why kill the sixth prince? It's not interesting."
"Why do you say that?" Bai Yutang asked.
"Well, the sixth prince is the one who doesn't want to fight for the throne the least. He doesn't have a temper, he just likes to eat, drink and have fun. The key is that he has no power! He's so good, why kill him? He seems to have a lot of hatred." Fu Gao said, shaking his head, "Hey..."
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other.
Bai Yutang said to Fu Gao, "Go back to sleep first, don't run around in the middle of the night, I'm new here, someone should inform me if there is anything."
"Yes." Fu Gao didn't bother to care so much, anyway, he didn't like any of the princes, who knows who he offended.I ran to sleep, I guess I will be busy again tomorrow.
As soon as Fu Gao left, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang hurried back to the room and arrived at Tianzun's bedside.
Tianzun was yawning under the blanket with his chin in his hand.
"Master." Bai Yutang asked him, "Did you hear anything just now?"
Tianzun looked at the two of them and smiled slightly.
"Tianzun, did you really hear that?" Zhan Zhao asked.
"It's a good thing it's Luoxue tonight, otherwise I might not have noticed it." Tianzun waved to the two of them and said, "There were indeed footsteps stepping on the snow just now, and it was the snow on the roof."
Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at Tianzun and asked, "Where?"
"Let's go down the mountain." Tianzun said, "It's not close yet."
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang opened their eyes even wider, what does that mean—you can hear it from so far away? !
"Tsk." Tianzun glanced at the two of them, "I can spot a fly flying past your master within a radius of ten miles!"
Bai Yutang squinted at him, which meant that he didn't really believe it.
"It's so quiet at night, it's easy for someone to notice if someone walks by, not to mention that person's inner strength is low and he walks quietly... If it wasn't for the snow falling tonight, he might not have noticed it."
"Is the murderer alone?" Zhan Zhao asked.
Tianzun nodded.
"Where did he go after the murder?" Zhan Zhao asked, "Or, which direction did he come from?"
Tianzun looked at the two of them, suddenly smiled, and pointed upwards.
Both Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao were stunned, and subconsciously looked up—up?
"The direction of the palace." Tianzun raised his eyebrows slightly.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were taken aback, and looked at him, "You said someone who came out of the palace killed the sixth prince?"
Tianzun spread his hands, "Then I don't know, but there was indeed a rush of internal energy just now, and it was quite fast."
"What kind of internal force?" Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were puzzled, "We didn't feel it."
"It's very tall inside." Tianzun touched his chin, "It's different from Xuanyuan Jie's. Oh, this Beihai Palace is also considered Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, so many masters."
After hearing Tianzun's words, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were a little puzzled - besides Xuanyuan Jie, there is actually another master in the palace?
"Hey." Zhan Zhao suddenly poked Bai Yutang, "How about we take a tour of the whole palace tomorrow?"
Bai Yutang nodded, "You want to find that expert?"
"Yeah..." But before Zhan Zhao finished speaking, he heard a commotion outside.
"Hey! What are you doing!" Fu Gao's voice came.
"Go away! Let's find the murderer who killed the sixth brother!"
"The crown prince is suspected, let us search the crown prince hall!"
Bai Yutang raised an eyebrow at Zhan Zhao.
Zhan Zhao looked at Tianzun on the bed, and at Bai Yutang, what does that mean—what to do?
……
"What nonsense are you talking about? His Royal Highness has been resting in the room, what kind of murderer did the assassin come from!" Fu Gao was not convinced.
"Slave! It's your turn to speak here!" The leader, who didn't know which prince he was, was about to cut Fu Gao with his knife.
Regardless of his young age, Fu Gao is not completely ignorant of martial arts, he is also clever, and dodges in a flash.
The two guards are about to chase.
At this time, a black shadow stabbed out and blocked the two guards, "Who dares to make noise in the important place of the Prince's Mansion?"
"Suyi!"
At this moment, the eldest prince behind everyone came out, "What is your identity, get out of the way!"
"The emperor ordered that no one should disturb His Highness the Crown Prince." Su Yi refused.
Just when the two sides were at a stalemate, the door was gently pushed open...a chill was overwhelming.
Fu Gao shivered, and everyone outside the door was also shocked, wondering what's going on?Is it colder in this room than outside?
After a burst of cold, Bai Yutang walked out, and a thin layer of frost immediately appeared on the doors and pillars of the rooms he passed.
Seeing a lot of people at the door, Bai Yutang walked out slowly and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Reporting to Your Highness, they said they came to find the murderer."
Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows, "The murderer?"
"My sixth brother was killed, we are here to find the murderer."
Bai Yutang looked at the person who spoke, and remembered that this was a prince, but Bai Yutang was troubled now, he felt that these ten princes and the top ten masters of the Tianshan School all looked alike... I really can't tell who is who. Otherwise, discuss with them and ask them to show a number on their hat or clothes, which is easier to recognize.
"Prince."
At this time, the eldest prince came up, and the prince cried out unwillingly, "We are not here to target you, but we have evidence."
Bai Yutang looked at him, what did he mean - let's hear it.
"There is a series of footprints at the door of my sixth brother's room. We followed those footprints to your house." The eldest prince said, pointing behind him.
Everyone turned their heads to look... and saw a mess of footprints behind him
"Oh, I'm sorry, my footprints were messed up by my people." The eldest prince smiled.
"Hey! You can do this too?" Fu Gao was dissatisfied, "This is called death without proof!"
The eldest prince smiled, "But we have all seen it, everyone is certified. Therefore, His Royal Highness is still suspicious, how about..."
Before he finished speaking, Bai Yutang interrupted him with a slight wave of his hand, and asked slowly, "Did you come after the footprints?"
"Yes!"
Bai Yutang nodded, and pointed behind him, "Do you see any footprints?"
A few people looked behind Bai Yutang... There were no footprints, and the long road from behind to the front of the room was completely covered with white snow.
Su Yi frowned slightly, and subconsciously looked at the section of the road he ran over just now...the footprints are still there.
At this time, the heavy snow had stopped, and it was impossible for the footprints left behind to be covered by snowflakes, but the problem was... Bai Yutang just walked out!
"Maybe you ran in for a long time, and it was covered by snow?" Behind the eldest prince, a prince chimed in.
Bai Yutang shook his head, "Stupid than a pig."
"What did you say?!" Several people were annoyed.
The First Prince frowned slightly, glanced at the crowd behind him, and signaled——shut up.
"Since I'm no longer suspected, please go find the murderer elsewhere." After speaking, Bai Yutang turned back and raised his eyebrows at Suyi, "Take out that sign and send them away."
Su Yi bowed and saluted, "I obey."
"Hey!" A few princes wanted to chase after him.
The eldest prince waved his hand lightly, motioning for them - look at the ground.
Everyone looked again, only to see Bai Yutang turned and walked into the room, but there was no footprint left on the ground.
All the princes swallowed - how is it possible?
"His Royal Highness is highly skilled in martial arts, even if he wants to commit murder, he will not leave footprints." Su Yi cupped his hands, "And the compound is bounded by you and others, there are footprints behind you but there are no footprints in other places in the courtyard. No one has been in or out during this time."
Several people looked at each other, wanting to say something more.
Su Yi took out a golden waist card from his pocket, "The Emperor has ordered that anyone who harasses His Highness the Crown Prince will be shot to death."
……
Everyone was stunned staring at the waist plate, Xuanyuan Jie actually handed over the only gold medal that symbolizes the highest imperial power to Bai Yutang...
The eldest prince flicked his sleeves and led the crowd away.
Fu Gao ran behind Su Yi, "Master Su, they are clearly finding fault."
Su Yi sighed, "Your Highness is very attractive, and there may be more troubles in the future."
"Don't be afraid, our Highness is capable." After finishing speaking, Fu Gao went to sleep.
Su Yi looked at the snow-white ground at the door again, and frowned—if it was just about martial arts, all the princes added up might not be able to compare with Bai Yutang.
Wait for everyone to leave.
In the room, Zhan Zhao lightly rubbed his arm against Bai Yutang, "Hey, you big rat, those royal brothers of yours really don't miss every opportunity to trouble you, don't they?"
Bai Yutang frowned, "It's true that their move isn't very clever, but it's also a bit sudden. If they do this often, it will be quite troublesome."
"It's been said that you're a big tree, so what should you do?" Zhan Zhao glanced at Tianzun, who was sleeping soundly with his arms around the quilt—what if Tianzun was found?
Bai Yutang thought for a while, then suddenly touched his chin and stared at Tianzun, "Can you put makeup on him?"
Zhan Zhao was curious, "Makeup? What will it look like?"
Bai Yutang looked at Tianzun who was sleeping soundly for a long time, then suddenly smiled, and raised his eyebrows at Zhan Zhao, as if he had thought of some interesting idea.
On the other hand, Zhan Zhao felt that Bai Yutang was smiling badly... like a wicked mouse.
"Isn't it?" Zhan Zhao frowned, "There were assassins just after I came back? Could the princes be too impatient?"
Bai Yutang was also a little puzzled, "I also feel a little anxious."
"Go out and have a look." Zhan Zhao ran out with a chicken leg in his mouth.
Bai Yutang sighed, looked at the dishes on the table that hadn't touched a few chopsticks, got angry, and thought that whoever sent the assassin, if he was caught, he would definitely beat him up!

"I don't know, we didn't see it, there seems to be a white shadow, but it doesn't seem to be..." Su Yi also looked helpless, "What's going on?"
Zhan Zhao looked back, Bai Yutang gave him a wink.
Zhan Zhao nodded, and said to Su Yidao, "Take someone to search around, they may have already run away."
"Yes!" Su Yi immediately took people to search.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang returned to the room, closed the door and locked it, and then turned around...and saw a man in white sitting at the table eating.Isn't it Tianzun...
Bai Yutang looked up at the sky, "Why did you come here?"

Fu Gao walked over, put away the umbrella, and said to Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, "I went to inquire just now, and the scream came from the Sixth Prince's palace, and several of his servants ran into the room and slammed into the room. Look... ouch!" Fu Gao shrank his neck, "The Sixth Prince's head is in a different place!"
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were stunned, "Beheaded?"
"Yes!" Fu Gao nodded, "It is said that the corpse is at the door, with its head on the table, facing the door, and the little eunuchs who served him were so scared that they wet their pants!"
Zhan Zhao frowned slightly, "Then... is it the Sixth Prince himself who screamed?"
"It sounds a bit similar!" Fu Gao nodded.
"That happened not long ago, and the murderer has not been found?" Bai Yutang asked, "Aren't there any guards nearby?"
"There's no reason." Zhan Zhao was puzzled, "The guards are very strict, right?"
"That's the monster!" Fu Gao nodded, "The guards near the palace are very strict, and each of His Highness's mansions has guards on the third floor inside and the third floor outside... Besides, why kill the sixth prince? It's not interesting."
"Why do you say that?" Bai Yutang asked.
"Well, the sixth prince is the one who doesn't want to fight for the throne the least. He doesn't have a temper, he just likes to eat, drink and have fun. The key is that he has no power! He's so good, why kill him? He seems to have a lot of hatred." Fu Gao said, shaking his head, "Hey..."
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other.
Bai Yutang said to Fu Gao, "Go back to sleep first, don't run around in the middle of the night, I'm new here, someone should inform me if there is anything."
"Yes." Fu Gao didn't bother to care so much, anyway, he didn't like any of the princes, who knows who he offended.I ran to sleep, I guess I will be busy again tomorrow.
As soon as Fu Gao left, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang hurried back to the room and arrived at Tianzun's bedside.
Tianzun was yawning under the blanket with his chin in his hand.
"Master." Bai Yutang asked him, "Did you hear anything just now?"
Tianzun looked at the two of them and smiled slightly.
"Tianzun, did you really hear that?" Zhan Zhao asked.
"It's a good thing it's Luoxue tonight, otherwise I might not have noticed it." Tianzun waved to the two of them and said, "There were indeed footsteps stepping on the snow just now, and it was the snow on the roof."
Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at Tianzun and asked, "Where?"
"Let's go down the mountain." Tianzun said, "It's not close yet."
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang opened their eyes even wider, what does that mean—you can hear it from so far away? !
"Tsk." Tianzun glanced at the two of them, "I can spot a fly flying past your master within a radius of ten miles!"
Bai Yutang squinted at him, which meant that he didn't really believe it.
"It's so quiet at night, it's easy for someone to notice if someone walks by, not to mention that person's inner strength is low and he walks quietly... If it wasn't for the snow falling tonight, he might not have noticed it."
"Is the murderer alone?" Zhan Zhao asked.
Tianzun nodded.
"Where did he go after the murder?" Zhan Zhao asked, "Or, which direction did he come from?"
Tianzun looked at the two of them, suddenly smiled, and pointed upwards.
Both Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao were stunned, and subconsciously looked up—up?
"The direction of the palace." Tianzun raised his eyebrows slightly.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were taken aback, and looked at him, "You said someone who came out of the palace killed the sixth prince?"
Tianzun spread his hands, "Then I don't know, but there was indeed a rush of internal energy just now, and it was quite fast."
"What kind of internal force?" Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were puzzled, "We didn't feel it."
"It's very tall inside." Tianzun touched his chin, "It's different from Xuanyuan Jie's. Oh, this Beihai Palace is also considered Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, so many masters."
After hearing Tianzun's words, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were a little puzzled - besides Xuanyuan Jie, there is actually another master in the palace?
"Hey." Zhan Zhao suddenly poked Bai Yutang, "How about we take a tour of the whole palace tomorrow?"
Bai Yutang nodded, "You want to find that expert?"
"Yeah..." But before Zhan Zhao finished speaking, he heard a commotion outside.
"Hey! What are you doing!" Fu Gao's voice came.
"Go away! Let's find the murderer who killed the sixth brother!"
"The crown prince is suspected, let us search the crown prince hall!"
Bai Yutang raised an eyebrow at Zhan Zhao.
Zhan Zhao looked at Tianzun on the bed, and at Bai Yutang, what does that mean—what to do?
……
"What nonsense are you talking about? His Royal Highness has been resting in the room, what kind of murderer did the assassin come from!" Fu Gao was not convinced.
"Slave! It's your turn to speak here!" The leader, who didn't know which prince he was, was about to cut Fu Gao with his knife.
Regardless of his young age, Fu Gao is not completely ignorant of martial arts, he is also clever, and dodges in a flash.
The two guards are about to chase.
At this time, a black shadow stabbed out and blocked the two guards, "Who dares to make noise in the important place of the Prince's Mansion?"
"Suyi!"
At this moment, the eldest prince behind everyone came out, "What is your identity, get out of the way!"
"The emperor ordered that no one should disturb His Highness the Crown Prince." Su Yi refused.
Just when the two sides were at a stalemate, the door was gently pushed open...a chill was overwhelming.
Fu Gao shivered, and everyone outside the door was also shocked, wondering what's going on?Is it colder in this room than outside?
After a burst of cold, Bai Yutang walked out, and a thin layer of frost immediately appeared on the doors and pillars of the rooms he passed.
Seeing a lot of people at the door, Bai Yutang walked out slowly and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Reporting to Your Highness, they said they came to find the murderer."
Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows, "The murderer?"
"My sixth brother was killed, we are here to find the murderer."
Bai Yutang looked at the person who spoke, and remembered that this was a prince, but Bai Yutang was troubled now, he felt that these ten princes and the top ten masters of the Tianshan School all looked alike... I really can't tell who is who. Otherwise, discuss with them and ask them to show a number on their hat or clothes, which is easier to recognize.
"Prince."
At this time, the eldest prince came up, and the prince cried out unwillingly, "We are not here to target you, but we have evidence."
Bai Yutang looked at him, what did he mean - let's hear it.
"There is a series of footprints at the door of my sixth brother's room. We followed those footprints to your house." The eldest prince said, pointing behind him.
Everyone turned their heads to look... and saw a mess of footprints behind him
"Oh, I'm sorry, my footprints were messed up by my people." The eldest prince smiled.
"Hey! You can do this too?" Fu Gao was dissatisfied, "This is called death without proof!"
The eldest prince smiled, "But we have all seen it, everyone is certified. Therefore, His Royal Highness is still suspicious, how about..."
Before he finished speaking, Bai Yutang interrupted him with a slight wave of his hand, and asked slowly, "Did you come after the footprints?"
"Yes!"
Bai Yutang nodded, and pointed behind him, "Do you see any footprints?"
A few people looked behind Bai Yutang... There were no footprints, and the long road from behind to the front of the room was completely covered with white snow.
Su Yi frowned slightly, and subconsciously looked at the section of the road he ran over just now...the footprints are still there.
At this time, the heavy snow had stopped, and it was impossible for the footprints left behind to be covered by snowflakes, but the problem was... Bai Yutang just walked out!
"Maybe you ran in for a long time, and it was covered by snow?" Behind the eldest prince, a prince chimed in.
Bai Yutang shook his head, "Stupid than a pig."
"What did you say?!" Several people were annoyed.
The First Prince frowned slightly, glanced at the crowd behind him, and signaled——shut up.
"Since I'm no longer suspected, please go find the murderer elsewhere." After speaking, Bai Yutang turned back and raised his eyebrows at Suyi, "Take out that sign and send them away."
Su Yi bowed and saluted, "I obey."
"Hey!" A few princes wanted to chase after him.
The eldest prince waved his hand lightly, motioning for them - look at the ground.
Everyone looked again, only to see Bai Yutang turned and walked into the room, but there was no footprint left on the ground.
All the princes swallowed - how is it possible?
"His Royal Highness is highly skilled in martial arts, even if he wants to commit murder, he will not leave footprints." Su Yi cupped his hands, "And the compound is bounded by you and others, there are footprints behind you but there are no footprints in other places in the courtyard. No one has been in or out during this time."
Several people looked at each other, wanting to say something more.
Su Yi took out a golden waist card from his pocket, "The Emperor has ordered that anyone who harasses His Highness the Crown Prince will be shot to death."
……
Everyone was stunned staring at the waist plate, Xuanyuan Jie actually handed over the only gold medal that symbolizes the highest imperial power to Bai Yutang...
The eldest prince flicked his sleeves and led the crowd away.
Fu Gao ran behind Su Yi, "Master Su, they are clearly finding fault."
Su Yi sighed, "Your Highness is very attractive, and there may be more troubles in the future."
"Don't be afraid, our Highness is capable." After finishing speaking, Fu Gao went to sleep.
Su Yi looked at the snow-white ground at the door again, and frowned—if it was just about martial arts, all the princes added up might not be able to compare with Bai Yutang.
Wait for everyone to leave.
In the room, Zhan Zhao lightly rubbed his arm against Bai Yutang, "Hey, you big rat, those royal brothers of yours really don't miss every opportunity to trouble you, don't they?"
Bai Yutang frowned, "It's true that their move isn't very clever, but it's also a bit sudden. If they do this often, it will be quite troublesome."
"It's been said that you're a big tree, so what should you do?" Zhan Zhao glanced at Tianzun, who was sleeping soundly with his arms around the quilt—what if Tianzun was found?
Bai Yutang thought for a while, then suddenly touched his chin and stared at Tianzun, "Can you put makeup on him?"
Zhan Zhao was curious, "Makeup? What will it look like?"
Bai Yutang looked at Tianzun who was sleeping soundly for a long time, then suddenly smiled, and raised his eyebrows at Zhan Zhao, as if he had thought of some interesting idea.
On the other hand, Zhan Zhao felt that Bai Yutang was smiling badly... like a wicked mouse.
