"Who is Mu Cheng-Bai? Who is Mu Cheng-Bai? "Ye Xiao asked curiously.
Of course he wouldn't admit it. After all, the man was the brother-in-law of the crown prince, a member of the Mu Clan, one of the eight noble clans! There were some things that could be done but couldn't be said.
"Mu Cheng-Bai, a descendant of the Mu Clan, the brother of the crown princess, and the brother-in-law of the crown prince." The steward spoke slowly as he stared into Ye Xiao's eyes, "Three days ago, he had a fight with you in the middle of a busy market. After that, you ran away and Mu Cheng-Bai chased after you. No one knows what happened after that."
He paused and then continued, "All we know is that you came back safe and sound, while Mu Cheng-Bai's body was left in the wild."
Ye Xiao smiled faintly, "It's not certain that I killed him. If I take all the blame for his death, then there are too many deaths in the world. Besides, do I have the ability to kill people?"
The steward stood still and spoke in a low voice, "That's a good excuse, but you did kill him."
Ye Xiao couldn't help frowning.
The steward sounded too sure.
The steward continued, "Even if you didn't kill him, we still have to prepare for this. Otherwise, it will be too late to regret."
"Because no matter how good the excuse is, in this matter, you're still the most suspicious. After all, Mu Cheng-Bai is a member of the Mu Clan, and the brother of the crown princess. We have to give you an explanation. "
Ye Xiao thought for a while, "Oh?"
"That's why I am going to discuss with you, young master. The thirty-six retired Blood Robe Guards will escort you to the north." The steward spoke calmly, "You are the only son of the general. Nothing can happen to you!"
Ye Xiao smiled and said, "To the north? To the army to avoid the disaster? "
"Yes." The steward said respectfully, "This is too dangerous. I am afraid that we could be overthrown at any moment."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but sigh.
It was a kind of complete helplessness and a kind of powerless disappointment.
The day before yesterday, the young master had promised him that he wouldn't cause any trouble.
His words were still ringing in his ears, but as soon as he stepped out, he killed the Crown Prince's brother-in-law …
What else can you do to be considered a real troublemaker?
Even if you weren't the one who killed them, we can't bear the fact that you're the most suspicious person in this case. If the Crown Prince really wanted to do something to you, nobody in the Kingdom of Chen could stop him.
Not to mention that he had the extremely powerful Mu Clan behind him!
The butler was actually speechless in his heart. You said … you've only been well-behaved for a few days?
I thought that you had turned over a new leaf and were ready to be an obedient child. I had just sent the good news to the Great General, and you had already caused such a huge disaster!
"Not going!"
The butler looked calm on the surface, but in his heart, he was already madly cursing. Suddenly, he heard the young master throw out these two words. He was stunned. "You're not going?"
"Yes, I'm not going!" Ye Xiao blandly said, "If I hide behind my father like a quail, what am I?"
The caretaker's listless eyes suddenly widened!
He looked at Ye Xiao with a face full of disbelief.
[What the fxck!
Is … Is this still my young master? Since when did he become so responsible and manly …
"Ahem … It's a good thing to have a sense of responsibility …" It was rare for the butler to see the Young Master's manly spirit, so of course he had to praise him. But then, he changed the topic, "But now is not the time to be a hero. You have to be fully prepared for everything …"
His eyes were full of hope as he looked at Ye Xiao.
If you really have changed … Come up with an idea for me to listen to.
The butler looked calm on the surface, but in his heart, he was already burning with anxiety. He had even made up his mind. Even if it meant risking the lives of himself and the 36 Blood Robe Guards, he would send the young master safely to the North Fortress!
"Hmm. What is there to prepare for? Just let nature take its course. " Ye Xiao humphed and said, "It's not a big deal. First, they don't have any evidence. Second, I'm just a big suspect. Third, the crown prince wants to be the king, so he can't offend the great generals. Fourth …"
The butler's eyes lit up. It made sense. He hurriedly asked, "What is the fourth?"
"Fourth …" Ye Xiao humphed and rolled his eyes, "If they keep on doing this and annoy me, I will kill the crown prince as well. Once the crown prince is dead, everything will be solved!"
The butler's vision turned black and he was about to pass out.
[God damn it!]
The first three ideas sounded reasonable, but when the fourth one came out, the butler only wanted to curse!
[You are such a bastard!]
[You call this an idea?] [What kind of bullsh * t idea is this?]
[If this idea gets out, even if Mu Cheng-Bai didn't do it, your head will fall off 800 times.]
[You are a bastard! You are a bastard! You are a f * cking bastard!]
"Ah … Ahhhh …" The butler stomped his feet in frustration. Listening to Ye Xiao's words, he finally gave up hope that Ye Xiao would come up with a good idea. He said, "Forget it. I will arrange for someone to take care of you. You can leave now!"
"No need." Ye Xiao said confidently, "The first three days are enough to keep us safe …"
He paced a few steps and said, "You spread the news now. The wider the better. Just say … the crown prince's brother-in-law was killed by me! The crown prince is furious! … That will do. Let everyone in the capital know in the shortest time possible! "
The butler was stunned again and then his eyes lit up. He praised, "That's right! That's a good plan … "Then he frowned," But this way, even if the crown prince doesn't dare to do anything in public, it is still impossible to guard against a sneak attack in the dark. Besides … even if we can get through the crown prince, I am afraid the Mu clan will be even more dangerous. "
Ye Xiao casually said, "What's going on now? It doesn't matter whether I stick my head out or not. Why should I worry about that? Who told Mu Cheng-Bai to be so unlucky and die like this? I guess I am just unlucky. "
The butler's mouth twitched. He thought, [Are you even more unlucky than Mu Cheng-Bai? Mu Cheng-Bai's body would be smelly by now … At least you are still alive.]
Although the butler was sure that Ye Xiao killed Mu Cheng-Bai, in fact, he didn't believe that Ye Xiao could kill Mu Cheng-Bai.
Mu Cheng-Bai was not that powerful, but Ye Xiao was a standard foppish young master. His strength was absolutely garbage!
The butler thought that he "knew" Ye Xiao's strength very well. If Ye Xiao could kill a descendant like Mu Cheng-Bai … then there was no need for the Mu clan to exist anymore …
While he was thinking, he heard his young master talking to himself, "If the Mu clan really messes with me, then there is no need for them to exist anymore …"
The butler fainted for real this time.
He had seen a lot of boastful people, but he had never seen such a boastful person like Ye Xiao.
[Do you know how powerful the Mu clan is? How dare you say such ridiculous words?!
Will you die if you don't brag …]
The butler certainly didn't know that not long after, the Mu clan would be destroyed because of what Ye Xiao said to himself today!
…
The decision had been made, so the butler immediately ordered people to spread the rumor. He deliberately made it sound eighty percent true and twenty percent false. Anyway, people who heard it would snort, [Ye Xiao? He could kill Mu Cheng-Bai?
F * ck! Are you kidding me?
What the hell! How could he?
Pah! You think too highly of him!
I can believe that he can kill a chicken, but to kill a martial arts master … You better go back to your room. If I believe you, I will have been kicked in the head by a donkey …]
Under such a one-sided rumor, if the crown prince still insisted on killing Ye Xiao, then it could only be said that the crown prince was not sensible at all!
Not sensible … Then there was the following: How could such an ignorant person become a king in the future? He couldn't even see such a simple fact, couldn't understand it, couldn't see it clearly, couldn't understand it, what would he do if he wanted to kill someone in the future?
Today, the crown prince could kill the son of a great general for such a ridiculous reason. Tomorrow, when he became the king, wouldn't he be able to kill the prime minister with just a fart?
Even so, the butler still secretly arranged the Blood Robe Guards in the house to be ready at any time. Once the situation changed, they would immediately take the young master out of the capital and go to the north!
Within half a day, rumors had spread everywhere in the capital. It was boiling, covering the sky and covering the earth!
"Hey, did you know? The young master of the Ye clan, one of the three lords in the capital, has done another earth-shattering thing! "
"What is it?"
"It is said that this young master Ye has killed the crown prince's brother-in-law …"
"What the hell … So shocking! What exactly happened? Hurry up and tell me in detail … "
"It's like this …"
"Hmm … Oh? No, no … You just said that the crown prince's brother-in-law is from the Mu clan, one of the eight noble clans? A direct descendant? A martial arts master? "
"So …"
"You! Only a pig head like you would believe such a rumor. Don't you know what kind of person Ye Xiao is? If you say that he dares to kill people, I might believe it. But you say that he can kill people, and it is a martial arts master. I won't believe it even if I beat you to death … "
"What are you talking about? Why won't you believe it even if you beat me to death …"
"You deserve to be beaten to death. This is an impossible thing and you still believe it. If I don't beat you to death, who will I beat to death? … I am drunk. Did your head get caught in the crack of a door? "
"That's true … This is a bit strange …"
…
"I think there must be something else going on …"
"I think so."
"Ye Xiao is a foppish idiot. If you say that he raped a girl, maybe I will believe it. But if you say that … Heh heh heh …" He laughed meaningfully.
"That's true …"
"Do you think the crown prince is going to do something to the military? He is using this as a pretext to make a fuss … "
"Hmm! Oh? This … Tsk tsk tsk … "
"Silence!"
"Shh …"
