Half an hour later, in the backyard of the Xiao family.
More than a dozen famous nobles from Shangjiang City looked at the man and the donkey walking in the garden, their eyes full of grievances.
Lin Xi reached out to untie the bald and stubborn donkey's reins, and took off all the packages on it.
Brother Donkey stared up at the sky with his big shining eyes, full of excitement.
The donkey's cry of "Ao Ao Ao~" is full of joy and excitement.
Hearing this magical laughter, Lin Xi laughed and was about to reach out and touch the soft mane, but unexpectedly, the bald donkey ran out with a whoosh.
Looking at the lightning-fast figure, Lin Xi's pupils trembled.
"Oh my god, what speed is this!"
Everyone else was also stunned.
Everyone looked at each other and couldn't help but have the same thought in their hearts.
Good guy, let me tell you, there is something wrong with this beast!
So many guards came together and failed to catch it. This is no ordinary stubborn donkey!
Thinking of this, everyone took a breath at the same time and looked at Lin Xi in shock.
O(▼鈥▼メ;)O
Why is this kid so lucky!
Looking at the speed of this donkey, an ordinary good horse might not even be able to see its butt, let alone chasing it, and would only be left eating ashes from behind!
Old Xiao's cheeks trembled, and he couldn't stop cursing in his heart.
Qian, if I had known that this beast was a thousand-mile donkey, I might as well have fought it and subdued it directly, and maybe it could have been used as a bargaining chip.
Looking at the stubborn donkey who was having fun all over the yard, Lin Xi complained lightly.
"Hey, the speed is pretty good, but it looks a bit ugly..."
When I thought of the battlefield, I saw a man wearing majestic armor, carrying a sword at his waist, holding a crossbow, and riding a bald and stubborn donkey.
Oh boy, this picture.
Lin Xi shook her head fiercely and looked away with a look of disgust.
"That's all. I would rather ride the war bull of the Iron Buddha Tu than this ugly thing."
After finishing speaking, Lin Xi stepped into the pavilion, picked up the teacup and said softly: "Huh? What are you doing standing here? Everyone, sit down!"
After hearing this, everyone looked around.
(乛义乛|||)
There are no chairs here!
One of them laughed awkwardly: "No, no, no, there is no place for us to sit in front of His Highness."
Lin Xi nodded slightly after hearing this and nodded with satisfaction.
"Well, if you don't want to sit down, don't sit down. Anyway, I haven't prepared anything for you."
After hearing this, everyone scolded their mother, not prepared for you to say a hammer.
After a while, Old Man Xiao looked around and saw that no one was speaking, so he could only sigh.
"Your Highness, this old man deserves death. Please punish him."
As he said that, the old man simply knelt down, with a look of remorse on his face.
When Lin Xi saw this, she raised her head in confusion and said softly: "Hey, what are you doing, sir?"
Old man Xiao burst into tears instantly, and it was so sad to cry.
"Back to Your Highness, I have three crimes. Yesterday there was an assassin in my house. I failed to come to the rescue in time. This is my first crime."
"Afterwards, I failed to catch the assassin in time and execute him on the spot. This is the second crime."
"Yesterday at noon, our young grandson rushed into His Highness's camp, causing His Highness to be frightened. This is the third crime."
After saying that, Old Man Xiao knelt down and bowed his head, grabbed the ground with his head, and shouted loudly: "I still ask Your Highness to punish you for these three crimes."
Everyone looked shocked after hearing this, and thought to themselves that ginger is still hotter.
Of these so-called three crimes, the first two cannot be blamed on the Xiao family. The collision with the camp did leave some clues, but they gave up their mansion after all.
If Lin Xi made a fuss over this trivial matter, it would be too unkind.
Lin Xi looked at the old guy who was retreating to advance, and said with a smile: "Sir, what are you talking about? How can this be your responsibility?"
"Protecting my prince should be the duty of the Shangjiang City guard."
As soon as these words came out, Geng Wenyu immediately fell to his knees with a bang and his back was covered in sweat.
"The general is finally aware of his crime, and I ask His Highness the Crown Prince to punish him."
The sonorous and powerful shouts and the deafening ringing startled everyone instantly.
Looking at Geng Wenyu with blood on his face, many heads of aristocratic families were confused.
Isn't it true, are you so cruel to yourself?
Coincidentally, at this time, the bald and stubborn donkey ran back, glanced at everyone with a slight disgust, and walked into the pavilion with his big butt swaying.
Lin Xi touched the donkey that lowered its head and said with a smile: "General Geng's words are serious. You are the guard of Shangjiang City appointed by His Majesty. I have no right to punish you."
Geng Wenyu broke out in cold sweat immediately after hearing this, and raised his head in shock.
Lin Xi ignored it, but looked down at the silent old man of the Xiao family.
"Mr. Xiao, do you think so?"
The others were slightly stunned after hearing this, and lowered their heads thoughtfully, with a flash of shock in their eyes.
Xiao Hong stood aside, holding the corner of her clothes tightly with her showy hands.
"Could it be..."
…
After a while.
All the major aristocratic families in Shangjiang City were hemorrhaging money. Those who had money gave it away, and those who had no money borrowed it.
This time, they were seriously injured and even lost half their lives.
After all, no one wants to follow in Geng Wenyu’s footsteps and be completely thrown into the dust.
In the pavilion.
Lin Xi took Xiao Hong's slender hand and said softly, ignoring the angry look on the little girl's face: "Mr. Xiao, this prince has already shown his sincerity."
After saying that, Lin Xi's eyes narrowed, she slowly turned her head and smiled slightly.
"Now, is it your turn?"
Old Xiao, who was sitting aside, sighed softly, raised his head and looked at his precious granddaughter, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
"Your Highness, besides Hong'er, what else do you want?"
Xiao Hong's delicate body trembled when she heard this, and she felt inexplicably helpless in her heart.
When she thought that she was going to be given to Lin Xi and allowed to be played around by this arrogant guy, the little girl felt unwilling to do so.
You know, if Lin Xi had never come to Shangjiang City, she would have had the opportunity to take over the Xiao family.
Now not only has she lost the opportunity to be the master of the family, but she has even become someone else's plaything. How can she, who has always had great ambitions, be willing to accept it.
Just when Xiao Hong was feeling sad, Lin Xi suddenly tilted her head and looked over.
"Oh, Mr. Xiao, please don't talk nonsense. I don't have the slightest thought about Miss Xiao."
As soon as these words came out, the Xiao family's grandfather and grandson both looked at the stupid hand at the same time and cursed angrily in their hearts.
If you let go of your hand and say this again, I might even believe a word or two!
Xiao Hong's face was red and she was biting her silver teeth. She glared fiercely at the big hand on her waist, snorted coldly, and simply turned her head away and didn't look any further.
