Chapter 240 The Situation of the Royal Family

Bai Xiaoxiao's smile is as beautiful as a flower, and her smile is alluring.

The smile on Bai Xiaoxiao's face at this moment was a completely sincere smile, a brilliant smile.

Unlike when I saw Chen Gong before, that smile was just a royal ceremonial smile.

At this time, Bai Xiaoxiao's smile seemed to be seeing an old friend he hadn't seen for many years, full of sincerity and enthusiasm.

"I'll go, what's going on? This Lin Bai seems to know the eldest princess?"

"It's impossible. The eldest princess lives in the palace all year round and never goes out. How can Lin Bai know her?"

Chen Gong said this in his heart.

The fifth princess looked at Bai Xiaoxiao in surprise and shouted softly: "Sister..."

Bai Xiaoxiao said: "Lin Bai, was it you who injured Wu'er?"

Lin Bai glanced at the fifth princess and nodded, and said: "She said she wanted to have a competition with me. She wanted to see if the swordsmanship of the disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect was as outstanding as the legend. But she didn't expect that I haven't come out yet. sword, and she fell.”

"Sister, he bullied me." The fifth princess took Bai Xiaoxiao's arm and shouted coquettishly.

Bai Xiaoxiao looked at the fifth princess with reproachful eyes and said, "Wu'er, thank Lin Bai quickly."

"Thank you? Why, sister." The fifth princess asked coquettishly, with a hint of anger on her face.

Why thank you?

It was obviously him who hurt me and he should apologize. Why should I say thank you?

When the surrounding warriors heard what the eldest princess said, they were so surprised that their eyes almost flew out.

"What the hell?"

"You hurt someone, and you still want to thank Lin Bai?"

"What kind of logic is this?"

Even the young prince Qi Rui asked incomprehensively: "Xiaoxiao, you are wrong. You should let this kid kneel down and apologize. How can you let Wu'er thank him?"

When Lin Bai heard Bai Xiaoxiao's words, he stood there calmly.

Bai Xiaoxiao said: "Wu'er, if it weren't for Lin Bai's mercy, you wouldn't be alive at all. Then shouldn't you thank Lin Bai for not killing him?"

The fifth princess said stubbornly: "If we fight to the death, we still don't know whether he can kill me."

"I don't thank you!"

"No! No!"

"Sister, if you don't turn towards me, I'll tell Father!"

The fifth princess said, with tears of grievance, she ran out of Qianlong Villa.

Bai Xiaoxiao looked at the back of the fifth princess, shook her head helplessly, came back to her senses and said to Lin Bai: "Lin Bai, Xiao Wu is spoiled by my father. If she has been offended, I will apologize to you on her behalf."

Lin Bai smiled lightly and said: "It doesn't matter, Her Royal Highness the Fifth Princess is extremely talented in swordsmanship. If she can be guided by a famous teacher, she will definitely achieve something in the future."

"I hope so. Lin Bai, I've been here for so long, why don't you invite me in to sit down?" Bai Xiaoxiao asked with a smile.

Lin Bai smiled bitterly and said, "Your Highness, Princess, please come inside."

"Um."

Bai Xiaoxiao nodded slightly, then thought of Qi Rui and said, "Young prince, Lin Bai and I are old friends. Today we are catching up on old times, so you should go back first."

Qi Rui said reluctantly: "Xiaoxiao, I..."

"Young prince, I won't give it away." Lin Bai interrupted and said to Qi Rui.

Qi Rui looked at Lin Bai with a slightly unkind expression, snorted coldly, and left with a puff of sleeves.

Chen Gongxiao laughed and said: "Haha, that's good. I won't bother you to reminisce about old times. I'll go find a place to drink."

"Best regards, elder." Lin Bai responded.

Bai Xiaoxiao and Lin Bai walked side by side in the garden of the Lingjian Sect's annex.

No matter how fragrant the flowers and plants in the garden are, they are not one ten thousandth as good as the fragrance on Bai Xiaoxiao's body.

"I would like to thank you very much just now. Otherwise, I might have been pestered by Qi Rui all day today." Bai Xiaoxiao said with a smile.

"It's easy, no problem. I think this young prince seems to be very interested in you, why don't you think about it?" Lin Bai said with a faint smile.

Bai Xiaoxiao smiled and said: "You just came to the imperial capital and you don't know what Qi Rui is like."

"Lin Bai, do you know? Today's royal family is on the verge of collapse."

"How do you say this?" Lin Bai asked curiously.

Bai Xiaoxiao sighed slightly sadly: "Hey, now in the imperial capital, the Xu family has attracted the power of Canghai Yuntai Palace. Once Canghai Yuntai Palace agrees to send out masters of the Shendan Realm to help the Xu family, the royal family will be in great danger. .”

"And at this moment, there are 980 princes and kings in Shenwu Kingdom, and each prince has more than hundreds of thousands of troops."

"This is Prince Qi's Palace where Qi Rui is located. In the past few years, it has annexed several palaces and has more than ten million soldiers. It has become the most powerful general's palace in Shenwu."

"In the imperial court, the Xu family is the most powerful one; in the military, the Qi Prince's Mansion is the most powerful one."

"And the royal family has been sidelined by these two families."

"In the imperial court, all civil officials basically obeyed the Xu family's orders."

"In the military, basically half of the military princes have submitted to the Prince of Qi's Mansion."

"If my grandfather hadn't still been alive, I'm afraid this Shenwu Kingdom would no longer be the Bai family's Shenwu Kingdom."

After hearing this, Lin Bai said: "It turns out that the royal family's situation is such a crisis."

"Yes, and Qi Rui, haha, I'm afraid you still don't know Qi Rui's evil reputation." Bai Xiaoxiao said.

"I have just arrived in the imperial capital, and I don't know much about Qi Rui yet." Lin Bai nodded.

Bai Xiaoxiao said: "Qi Rui is not very talented in martial arts, but he is cruel by nature. Relying on the power of his family, Prince Qi, he once led an army to massacre towns and cities in Shenwu Kingdom, taking pleasure in killing people."

"According to the information I have learned, Qi Rui has massacred more than a hundred towns. Even if there are only 10,000 people in one town, the one hundred people there are one million people."

"The warriors in these towns are all innocent people. They neither violated the king's laws nor offended the power of heaven, but they were brutally murdered for no reason."

When Lin Bai heard this, his eyes shrank slightly.

Killing towns for no reason is indeed a bit unscrupulous.

"Tell me, as the eldest princess of the Shenwu Kingdom, do you think I can look good on Qi Rui? I have long hated him." The eldest princess said with a bitter smile.

Lin Bai smiled and said, "It's hard for you too. You obviously hate him, but you can't kill him."

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Lin Bai, Jiu'er always misses you. When you come to the imperial capital, why don't you go find her?" Bai Xiaoxiao changed the topic and asked with a smile.

Ninth Princess, White Paper Kite.

Lin Bai felt a headache when he thought of Bai Zhiyuan. If he went to find this little girl, he would probably get into a big fight with her.

Lin Bai said with a smile: "I came to the imperial capital to participate in the year-end festival. During this time, I have to devote myself to cultivation. I really have no time to be distracted."

"You are going to participate in the year-end festival. I have heard that the warriors of your Spirit Sword Sect over the years have not been optimistic about their fate in the year-end festival." Bai Xiaoxiao said tactfully.

"But I believe in you. Since you dare to come to the year-end festival, you must be sure to stand out among these geniuses. Otherwise, you will not come to die."

Bai Xiaoxiao said with a smile.

"It is true that we are somewhat certain, but we still have to adapt to circumstances." Lin Bai said with a smile.
