Datang: Destroy Tang Taizong Li Xiao at the beginning

The front hall is not far from the gate of the villa.

But it is a little walk away from the "huxin island".

For the first time, Li Xiao experienced the feeling of riding a horse on the road in his own home.

This is completely a small palace.

Not long after, Li Xiao saw Li Tai in the front hall.

But to his surprise, Cheng Chumo was there too.

At this time, Cheng Chumo and Li Tai were talking and laughing.

"Let me just say, everyone here knows me, and it's not easy to get in."

Cheng Chumo said to Li Tai proudly: "Look at you, you look like you have never seen the world, it really embarrasses me."

"Ha ha."

There was only a speechless smile left on Li Tai's face.

At this time, Li Xiao walked in.

"Four……"

"Hello, Li Xiao!"

When Cheng Chumo saw Li Xiao, he roared angrily.

"Ok?"

Not far away, Zhao Yuntian frowned and came to Li Xiao in an instant.

With a sound of "clang", he pulled out the long knife in his hand.

"Your Highness, do you want to take it?"

"Commander Zhao." Li Xiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "There are no enemies here, so go and rest for now!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Zhao Yuntian immediately withdrew his knife, and threatened Cheng Chumo with his eyes before leaving.

But at this time, Cheng Chumo was almost frightened, his whole body was stiff.

The murderous aura rushing towards his face made him weak, and he almost collapsed to the ground.

"Fourth brother, why are you here?"

Li Xiao walked over and smiled at Li Tai.

"What fourth brother?!"

Cheng Chumo was full of resentment, and said dissatisfiedly: "It's close to less! It won't work now, you made me homeless, you better give me a reasonable explanation!"

Chapter 57: Taking advantage of the fire and looting

Cheng Chumo thought that Li Xiao's fourth brother was calling him, and suddenly he began to float up.

Li Tai said speechlessly: "The person he called is..."

"Hehe, don't be too surprised. Although he is a prince, our friendship is not ordinary. It is very normal for him to call me brother."

Before Li Tai could finish speaking, Cheng Chumo interrupted with a smug expression on his face.

Li Tai shook his head helplessly, looked at Li Xiao, showed a slight smile, and said slowly, "Brother Xiao, how are you doing?"

"Thank you for your concern, brother four. I'm fine. I don't know why brother four is looking for me."

Li Xiao was too lazy to talk to Cheng Chumo.

"Can't you come and see brother Xiao?" Li Tai smiled slightly.

The two chatted like this, leaving Cheng Chumo aside.

At this time, Cheng Chumo was not a fool. Hearing the two people's address, he understood everything in an instant, and almost died on the spot.

Li clamored for this man's fourth brother.

Fourth prince, isn't that Li Tai?

Although Cheng Chumo had never met Li Tai, he had heard of his name.

When he remembered what he said to Li Tai in the carriage, he wished he could find a crack in the ground and get down.

"You guys talk first, I'll leave first if I have something else to do."

Cheng Chumo couldn't help but want to run away.

"Brother Cheng, why is he in such a hurry to leave?" Li Tai smiled slightly, showing sly eyes, "Didn't you come to seek revenge on my brother Xiao?"

"Vengeance? Vengeance for what?"

Li Xiao was slightly taken aback, with a puzzled look on his face.

"Humph!"

Cheng Chumo immediately snorted coldly when he heard the words, and then said: "Li Xiao, I treat you as a good brother in vain, I didn't expect you to cheat me! You didn't pay for the wine at all!"

"You are messing around." Li Xiao spread his hands, "You said you would come back immediately after leaving the table, and you said that everything will be charged to your account. I am not a man, so what's the problem?"

"Then why did you tell the restaurant my identity information? If they didn't come to collect debts and happened to bump into my old lady, how could I run away from home?"

"Cheng Chumo, what you said is ridiculous. If you don't report your name, how can people ask you for money? If you can't get the money, isn't it eating the king's meal? This king is full of righteousness, how can he do such a disregard for the law? thing?"

"You... you, you are so unreasonable!"

Cheng Chu was so angry that he couldn't speak clearly, thought for a while, and asked again: "Later, you knew that the restaurant would come to me to collect debts, and you also knew that I had no money, but you still cheated me of all my money. Don't leave it to me!"

"That's wrong. You agreed to lend the 2000 taels of silver to me, right?"

"Yes, but..."

"There's nothing wrong with it. Since you lent it to me, the money belongs to the king. Why did the king leave the money for you?"

"Then when will you return my 2000 taels of silver?"

"No rush, anyway, we didn't make any regulations before, we will talk about it in a few months."

"I'm in a hurry!"

Cheng Chumo was shocked.

Obviously Li Xiao owes him money and favors, why can he rely so confidently?

"Whether you're in a hurry or not is none of my business!" Li Xiao said speechlessly.

"Li Xiao, at least I helped you, can you be more polite?"

"Didn't I promise to give you food and drink for free? What else do you want?"

"You said it, don't regret it!"

Cheng Chumo stared at Li Xiao seriously.

"Hehe." A cunning flashed in Li Xiao's eyes, "As I said, you can eat whatever you want, and everything is free."

"Walk, walk, I'm hungry right now, and I happen to be helping your fourth brother."

Cheng Chumo looked impatient.

……

Changan.

Hejian County Prince's Mansion.

In the study room, Li Xiaogong, who is in his 30s, is writing something in front of the desk.

Next to him, Li Chongyi looked angry and wronged.

"Father, Li Xiao is so deceptive! I must make him look good!"

However, Li Xiaogong didn't seem to hear these words, and wrote on his own.

"Father, if you don't object, then I'll arrange it. If I don't punish him severely, I won't be able to get rid of the hatred in my heart!"

Li Chongyi clenched his fists, clenched his teeth, and his eyes were full of hatred.

At this time, Li Xiaogong finally stopped writing, slowly raised his head, and said dissatisfiedly: "Nonsense!"

"Father, don't worry, he will definitely do it quietly, and he won't find out." Li Chongyi didn't take it seriously, and said confidently.

"madness!"

Li Xiaogong frowned, and said in a cold voice: "Then Li Xiao was assassinated, and the instigator behind it has not been found, and it is too late for others to hide from him. I am afraid that you will be implicated by this matter, and you dare to take the initiative to trouble him?"

"Ah? Then what should we do? Is it just swallowing your anger like this?"

Hearing this, Li Chongyi broke out in a cold sweat.

Assassinating the prince is basically a serious crime of the Zhu Jiu Clan!

"Forget about Lantian Villa for now!"

"In a few days, the Japanese mission will come to Beijing, and your Honglu Temple will be responsible for receiving it. You'd better be quiet and don't cause trouble for me!" Li Xiaogong said in a deep voice.

"Is the Japanese mission coming?"

Li Chongyi was taken aback for a moment, his eyes thoughtful.

……

Lantian Villa.

Unconsciously, the time has come to the evening.

"Brother Xiao, it's getting late, the fourth brother has returned to Beijing."

Li Tai took his troops and prepared to go back.

"En." Li Xiao nodded, then looked at Cheng Chumo, "Aren't you going back?"

"Hehe, what about dreaming? Naturally, I want to rely on you to eat and drink for free, so where is this?" Cheng Chumo's mouth was full of disdain.

"Okay." Li Xiao nodded.

Then Li Tai left with the guards.

And Li Xiao led Cheng Chumo to the palace complex not far from the gate.

"Choose, which one do you want to live in?" Li Xiao's lips curled up.

"Little family!"

Cheng Chumo looked at Li Xiao, shook his head in disgust, and said, "Why don't you let me live in your Yanyu building?"

"No problem, you can live anywhere you want." Li Xiao nodded, showing a harmless smile, "But let's make sure about the rent first!"

"What? Didn't you say it's all free? Why do you have to pay?" Cheng Chumo asked in surprise.

"I'm talking about free food and drink, but I didn't say free accommodation. I'll charge you 100 taels for a one-night stay in Yanyu Building!" Li Xiao said solemnly.

"100 taels!!!"

"What's the difference between you and a bandit?"

Cheng Chumo looked at Li Xiao in shock.

"If you think it's too expensive, you can change it, or you can go back to the capital."

Li Xiao looked indifferent.

"Then how much does your cheapest house here cost per night?"

Cheng Chu thought about it for a while, and felt that it was a big loss for him to leave like this.

"For the other rooms, I'll charge you 50 taels!" Li Xiao said after thinking about it.

"You! You are clearly taking advantage of the fire to rob!" Cheng Chumo looked angry, "You know that I can't go back to the capital now, so you do this on purpose, and if you don't want to return the 2000 taels of silver, just say it, why do you use such despicable methods?"

"Oh, I was actually spotted by you, so have you chosen the house yet?"

"You are dreaming! I can never spend this 50 taels, I can't get so much money in a month!"

"You have another choice. All my servants can stay here for free."
