Chapter 244 This Ice Flame Lion Really Looks Like a Dog

After taking some time to spread the aura of Wanmihua in the field, Zixi went to General Murong's mansion.

Lan Si was hunted down, the emperor was seriously ill, and the eldest prince was grounded. All these news were suppressed by Lan Lian, so the entire imperial capital was not in chaos, but the lack of chaos did not mean that the old officials and generals would not get any trouble.

General Murong's Mansion probably already knew about this matter, so Zixi wanted to see what the General's Mansion meant.

However, before Zixi entered the gate of the General's Mansion, she noticed the unusual atmosphere at the gate. There were always only two guards at the gate of General Murong's Mansion, but today there were eight plainclothes guards standing outside. Standing upright, as if something happened.

Zixi frowned, stood at the corner and pondered for a while, quietly touched the back door of the General's Mansion, and slid in over the wall.

Fortunately, she didn't come here once or twice, even if there was no one to guide her, she could easily find where the old lady was.

Zixi passed along the courtyard wall, and the old lady's courtyard was quiet, as if there were no special sounds.

"Could it be that the old lady isn't here?" Zixi frowned, two servant girls came from the stone path in front, and Zixi hurriedly hid in the rockery behind her.

"Hurry up, send a message to the old general quickly, something happened to the general's mansion!" The two maids said this, and hurriedly ran towards the old lady's yard.

Zixi frowned. When she went to find the old lady last time, she saw a cage for pigeons in her yard. The maid probably wanted to use carrier pigeons to send messages.

Zixi turned her head and looked at the direction where the servant girl came, it was the front hall, maybe Lan Lian had already come to the General's Mansion!

Thinking of this, Zixi no longer hesitated and ran towards the front hall.

The normally peaceful General's Mansion had a serious atmosphere today, and the servants did not dare to walk around casually, for fear of causing some trouble. Zixi did not encounter a single servant along the way.

Compared with the guards at the gate, there are more guards here. The two rows of scrubbing guards at the entrance of the hall will block the water around the hall. Zixi looked around, there was no chance to go to the door to investigate, and he could only look at the roof in front of him. , flipped lightly and landed on the tile, and at the same moment, a soft voice came out from below.

"Your Highness the Second Highness is here, and I feel lost to welcome you. I don't know why the Second Highness is here this time?" The old lady sat calmly on the main seat and drank tea. Next to her was Lan Lian, whom Zixi had already met once.

It really is him!Zixi sighed in her heart. She never thought that the man who begged her for the bandit's life would be the noble Second Highness of the Lanmu Dynasty, and this time it seemed that he wanted to make this status even more noble.

Lan Lian smiled lightly, "The old lady is so predictable, don't you know why I came this time?"

"I am not a god, so how can I know everything? The Second Highness should be straightforward." This situation is no longer an ordinary visit, but a threat. The old lady can naturally see it, but at this time, she has to pretend to be stupid. , I just hope that the old general can come back soon.

"Since this is the case, I won't play around with the old lady anymore, just tell me! Father was assassinated the day before yesterday, and he was seriously ill on the dragon's bed. There is not much time left, and all of this was found out to be the work of Lan Lin. My highness obeys my father. Order, the traitor has been imprisoned, but the country has no king for a day, and the small country in the north is about to make trouble, wanting to take advantage of the civil strife to cause chaos. My Highness is thinking, let the old general lead the courtiers to elect a prince with both ability and political integrity to preside over the overall situation, old madam What do you think?"

Lan Lian opened her mouth slowly, and explained more clearly what Zixi and the old lady knew.

The emperor is in a coma and the eldest prince is imprisoned, so he, the second prince, is most likely to be elected to the position.

After hearing this, the old lady's face darkened, and she suddenly raised her head and said, "The emperor is seriously ill? I have never received such news, Second Highness, is what you said true?"

Lan Lian turned her head and looked at the old lady with a half-smile, "It's not impossible for the old lady to pretend to be stupid, but I think people should be smarter, and those who know current affairs are outstanding. I can keep this general's mansion alive for thousands of years, even better than it is now." To be rich and gorgeous, isn't this exactly what the old lady expected?"

"The Second Highness is just joking. I have long been used to the bluestone and white tiles in this General's Mansion. If one day it really becomes resplendent, I'm afraid I really can't get used to it." I will wait to see Your Majesty."

"Old lady..." Lan Lian gritted her teeth.

The old lady bowed slightly, but she didn't answer, she was obviously consistent from beginning to end.

"Since the old lady wants to visit the father, of course His Highness is willing to do so. Please, old lady." Lan Lian gritted her teeth and sneered.

He didn't believe that if the old lady was imprisoned in the palace, the old general wouldn't be wary and wouldn't dare to act rashly?

The old lady sighed slightly, and was ready to follow her out. She knew that Lan Lian brought so many people to the General's Mansion today, not to take her away, but why?Today she has to go, or not to go.

Zixi was a little anxious, if the old lady had gone, how would she come out?With Lan Lian's temperament, I'm afraid he will be imprisoned until this matter is over.

"Crack." There was a slight movement under his feet, and a very slight movement sounded in the air. Lan Lian didn't notice it, but the little ice-blue guy on his shoulder suddenly raised his head, his eyes "swipe" He looked towards the direction of the roof where Zixi was.

Four eyes facing each other...

Zixi recognized it at a glance, the miniature lion sitting on Lan Lian's shoulder at the moment, isn't it the ice flame lion she tamed for him that day?

Oops!

Zixi's heart skipped a beat. Spirit beasts have the most sensitive sense of smell. I'm afraid they have already become familiar with him in the short contact that day, but they saw it today?

"Roar!" Sure enough, as soon as Zixi thought about it, the icy flame lion jumped from Lan Lian's shoulder towards Zixi on the roof!
Zixi was startled and hurriedly dodged, the roof of that place was smashed by the Ice Flame Lion, and the whole room fell "crackling".

A few people turned their heads in surprise, and the Ice Flame Lion had already jumped out of the house, surrounding Zixi who had jumped from the roof in the center of the yard, "Roar..." The long roar indicated that it was quite dissatisfied with Zixi!

Lan Lian was startled, and hurriedly ran towards the outside, and the others followed, and when they came out, Qiqi's eyes widened.

"Ye Zixi!" Lan Lian looked at Zixi in surprise, it was hard to imagine that she would see Zixi in the imperial capital.

Zixi looked up at him and smiled wryly. This is Yuanjia Road, isn't it?
"Master, didn't you recognize this person?" The Ice Flame Lion spoke, the same as the tower gave people, its voice was very powerful and heavy, and at this moment it was staring at Zixi with strong hatred.

"Recognized? What do you mean?" Lan Lian was stunned, then turned to look at Zixi suspiciously.

"She is the beast master who tamed me that day! Even if she turned into ashes, I would still know her!" The Ice Flame Lion said coldly, still gnashing his teeth.

"What!" Lan Lian stared at Zixi, his eyes swept over Zixi, wasn't that master who subdued the beast that day a man?How could it be Zixi?
"Humph! The sense of smell of our spirit beasts is not comparable to that of humans, isn't it, the master of subduing beasts?" Ice Flame Lion looked at Zixi with a sneer and said, You domesticated me that day, and today I will betray you , Hmph, do you think I won't recognize you when you take off the black robe?

"..." Zixi was speechless. This Ice Flame Lion really looked like a dog. She had been dressed up like that at the time, yet she was recognized by it.

"Bingyan, what you said is true?" Lan Lian saw that Bingyan didn't seem to be lying, and asked Zixi with a frown.

"Will I lie to you?" At this time, it has already recognized him as the master, is it possible to lie to him?

Lan Lian looked at Zixi's eyes and narrowed her eyes, "It turned out to be you, Zixi." That night, she wanted to keep the subduing beast master, but let her run away, thinking that she would never see her again , but I didn't expect to go around and let him see him again.

Zixi was the Grandmaster of Subduing Beasts that night, so did she already know his character?

"You've got the wrong person." In desperation, Zixi had no choice but to speak nonsense with his eyes open, looking at Bingyan Xiongshi and speaking.

"Impossible, it's you!" Ice Flame Lion was still very sure.

"You really got it wrong." Zi Xi continued, "Although you spirit beasts have a very good sense of smell, if two people have similar smells, you may smell it wrong, right? I just came to the Imperial Capital from New Moon City It didn't take long, your master knew how many abilities you have, how could you become a beast master? Let alone a beast master, you really think too much."

If you can’t admit it, it’s over.

After all, Zixi looked up at Lan Lian. Lan Lian knew how much she had. When he heard Bingyan Xiongshi say this, he must also be puzzled in his heart. As long as there is doubt, it will be easy to deal with.

"That's right, Ye Zixi was just an ordinary person back then. If he wanted to become a beast master, he needed a lot of mental strength." Lan Lian still didn't quite believe it.

"That's right! The conditions to become a beast master are so harsh, do you think you can achieve it casually? I'm just a country girl, and I don't have such a strong mental power at all. How can I become a beast master?" Zixi Hehe smiled, "What's more, the prerequisite for becoming a master of beasts is to become a master of beasts. Only through continuous training of beasts can the strength of beasts be increased. What you said is too exaggerated and incredible."

"How could Zixi be the master of subduing beasts? After all, your lion is not a dog. How can you have such a smart nose?" The old lady came out to speak when she saw Zixi. here.

Ice Flame Lion, are you praising it or hurting it?

Seeing that the Bingyan Lion was speechless, Lan Lian felt a little disappointed. I'm afraid the Bingyan Lion really got it wrong.

However, although Zixi is not the master of Fushou, he is also the Zixi he knows!

"Zixi, why are you here?" This is the general's mansion in the imperial capital, why do ordinary people come here when they have nothing to do?
