The sun is shining brightly, shining on Wanqiao Garden, Tiger Mountain, and even the stone house.

"Your men at least let you understand that these Tibetan Mastiffs are really not easy to deal with." Prince Fu looked at Prince Yin and asked, "Have you decided who to send out officially?"

Prince Yin looked at the stone house on the left and murmured: "It's really amazing." He suddenly stood up, smiled and said softly to the officials behind him: "Everyone, Lao Si and I are in the mood to make a bet, everyone.

You might as well steal some betting numbers, join in the fun, and bet on who can win."

This suggestion seemed ordinary, but it made all the officials look at each other with slight shock.

Prince Yin's phrase "Who can win in a bet" is a pun. Perhaps it does not mean who wins or loses in this bet alone, but refers to the future, a future filled with the king's hegemony.

Who dares to bet on such a bet?

No matter who wins the bet, they will offend the other party. Everyone even suspects that this is a trap set by Prince Yin. They want to test who is more optimistic about him. If you bet on Prince Yin to win, you will definitely get his win in the future. If you bet on Prince Fu, although you can get

Prince Fu tried to win over him, but he was bound to be hit by Prince Yin.

In fact, the officials present today are not of high rank, nor are they the heads of various yamen. People like ministers, censors, and generals are not present. They are just some middle-level officials.

"Prince Yin, here are one thousand taels of silver. I'm here to add to the fun. No matter who of you wins, take it." A blue-robed official took out a stack of silver notes from his arms and put them on the table helplessly.

This man is honest and understands a truth. No matter who wins or loses, we ministers will always be the losers. It is better to hand over some money happily and buy peace.

As soon as he took the lead, the officials present, whether reluctantly or unwillingly, had to take out more or less money in order to buy peace. The case was soon filled with thick silver bills, which attracted the beauty in Prince Fu's arms to eat.

Eat and laugh.

The two princes watched coldly, knowing that these officials did not dare to express their positions at this time, and naturally they could not force each other, so Prince Yin laughed, looked at the madman on the Hushan boulder and said: "Then you are going to send them out

people?"

That man was so weird that he was able to stay in Hushan without being expelled. Prince Yin thought with his buttocks that he was Prince Fu's man.

"Is he yours?" Prince Fu's eyes finally fell on Xue Poye. At this time, Xue Poye looked like an elegant young man, tall and handsome.

In Kyoto, of course, there is no such thing as judging a book by its appearance.

There are hidden dragons and crouching tigers everywhere in Kyoto, and everyone tries their best to cover up their true strength with a very ordinary appearance. The appearance of madman and Xue Poye as a young master is just a hypocritical appearance in the eyes of outsiders.

Xue Poye frowned and felt his heart skip a beat.

My dear, do Prince Yin really want to send me to fight like this? Thinking of the fate of the three Zhao brothers with no bones left, Xue Poye thought that his skills were definitely not higher than theirs. If he went in, he would probably end up no different from them.

But this tension disappeared in an instant.

Because he suddenly thought of a key point. This gamble was a huge bet. The name of Prince Fu and the source of Prince Yin's money. If such a bet was not foolproof, who would dare to gamble it so easily.

Since the matter is so important, Prince Yin will not allow himself to go into battle without being completely sure?

His own life was nothing in Prince Yin's eyes, but with a rouge gouache kingdom like Ziyanfang and a gold mine like that, Prince Yin would never lose to Prince Fu in vain.

So Xue Poye breathed a sigh of relief.

"Master Xue!" Prince Yin smiled gently, stared at Xue Poye and said, "The fourth prince seems to value you very much."

Xue Poye calmly clasped his fists and smiled and said: "Thanks to Prince Fu for taking a fancy to me, it's just that the common people are not good at academics and I'm afraid they can't slaughter lions and mastiffs. I'm afraid of missing Prince Yin's important event, so I don't dare to show off."

After he said this, all the officials looked at him with contempt.

Everyone thought that Xue Poye was also a retainer of Prince Yin. At this time, the master wanted to use him, but he politely declined. This was not in line with the loyalty of the retainers. To put it bluntly, he was just a villain who retreated in distress, so everyone was very disdainful.

and contempt.

There was a trace of contempt on the corner of Prince Fu's mouth, but Prince Yin still kept his smile and stared at Xue Poye. After a moment, he said warmly: "But I do have great confidence in Master Xue. If I want to win this big bet, it will be very difficult for me."

I need Master Xue’s help, Master Xue, but I wonder if you are willing to help Zi Yin?”

Xue Poye opened his mouth, but no words came out.

He had always been worried about whether he would really become a tool in the prince's struggle, but considering the astonishing bet, Prince Yin probably would not send him. Who knows that in the end he would not be able to avoid this situation that he had envisioned long ago.

Could it be that Prince Yin has so much confidence in me, Xue Poye?***!

Xue Poye only regretted that he did not have the power to fight back against these two vicious princes. He was a maggot and I was a fish. He finally realized what it meant to be helpless.

Of course he would not be stupid enough to refuse. He was very sure that if he really refused, maybe Prince Yin would accept it indifferently in front of everyone. But after leaving the Ten Thousand Animals Garden, there is a high possibility that he would die on the way back to the Prince Consort's Mansion.

There was an accident.

In the eyes of outsiders, this kind of accident must be an ordinary accident, nothing special. However, such an accident would definitely take Xue Poye's life.

For a person like Xue Poye, who had no power or background, to suddenly die unexpectedly was so common in Kyoto that the purple-clad people in Kyoto Prefecture had absolutely no time to deal with this matter.

"It seems that Master Xue has no objection." Prince Yin saw that Xue Poye remained silent and immediately smiled and said: "In that case, fourth brother, I will ask Master Xue to appear on my behalf."

Xue Poye was startled. Damn it, aren't you asking me to die?

"Prince Yin, I...!" Xue Poye listened to the deep hissing of the Tibetan Mastiff and couldn't help but want to refuse. He didn't want to be eaten by a few beasts.

Prince Yin had already grabbed his hand and said softly: "Master Xue, I'll leave everything to you. Zi Yin is here waiting for you to come out." His expression was extremely relaxed, as if Xue Poye just went to see the Tibetan Mastiff, not the Tibetan Mastiff.

Desperately, he seemed to have a good idea of ​​the outcome of this bet.

Xue Poye felt that there seemed to be something hidden in his bright eyes, flickering unsteadily.

At this moment, Prince Yin had already come closer and whispered in his ear: "Master Xue, just go ahead. I have already made arrangements inside. You don't have to worry. I guarantee your safety."

Xue Poye blinked his eyes and smiled faintly. Regardless of whether he was really prepared or not, he was still riding a tiger and had to go.

When Xue Poye walked into Hushan with gritted teeth and approached the stone house, he finally saw the madman's appearance clearly.

This lunatic's head was disheveled, half of his face was exposed, and the other half was covered by his hair, but the half of his face revealed was enough to make people feel chilling.

This face is very white, it is a true defeat, but this half of the face that was defeated is covered with scars, as if someone had slashed it with five or six sharp weapons more than ten times, and turned it out.

His skin and flesh have become scarred.

Xue Poye took one look at it and didn't dare or couldn't bear to look at it again. What kind of suffering has this madman suffered?

The madman finally turned his attention to Xue Poye. There was no life in his dim eyes, like the eyes of a dead man. His feet also began to move, like a wandering soul. Xue Poye couldn't even see how he came here.

Yeah, I just think "floating over" is the most appropriate word.

This person looked like he was blown by a breeze, as light as confetti, and stopped five or six steps away from Xue Poye.

"Hello!" Xue Poye nodded and greeted.

The lunatic didn't even look at Xue Poye and asked, "Do you want a lion or a Tibetan mastiff?" His words seemed extremely jerky, as if he was holding back each word, extremely stiff.

Xue Poye frowned. The more this guy looked like this, the more Xue Poye felt that he was a master, at least higher than himself.

"Since you are standing on the right, for the sake of convenience, let me deal with the Tibetan Mastiff." Xue Poye sighed, looked at the scarred guy, and said slowly: "I hope there is still a chance to meet."

The madman ignored it and walked directly to the lion house.

Xue Poye reached out and touched his waist. The iron-cutting cold blade was sitting quietly on his waist. Although he knew that there were three ferocious Tibetan mastiffs in the stone house in front of him, the moment he touched the cold blade, he felt

My nervous mood seems to be much more at ease.

The two breeders stood in front of the stone door, looking at Prince Fu in the distance. Until Prince Fu waved his hand gently to this side, the two breeders immediately stepped forward and each opened a stone door. They only opened a canyon.

A gap that accommodates one person's entry and exit.

Xue Poye took a deep breath, scolding the eighteenth generation of the two princes' ancestors in his heart, and then walked into the stone house with his fists clenched.

"Namo Guanyin Bodhisattva, bless me to be able to get out of this door." These were the last words Xue Poye said before the stone door closed.

A smell of blood filled the house, and the Tibetan Mastiff's screams were right next to his ears. If he hadn't been used to hearing them before, he would have been frightened to death when he heard such screams.

Xue Poye was almost vomited by the strong smell of blood, and quickly covered his nose with his hand.

The stone house was very narrow, and in front of Xue Poye, there was an iron door, blocking him from the three Tibetan mastiffs as big as calves inside.

Five or six torches were lit above the walls of the stone house, so the room was not dark.

Xue Poye looked behind the iron gate. Through the gap between the iron bars, Xue Poye saw three Tibetan mastiffs half-crouching inside very leisurely. One in front and two in back, forming a triangle. They were as sharp as sharp-edged mastiffs.

There was still skin and flesh on the teeth, there were stumps and broken legs around, and the blood reflected the ground red. These three Tibetan mastiffs actually devoured the Zhao brothers.

Xue Poye felt his chest rolling, and he said "Wow" and finally vomited it out.

The three Tibetan Mastiffs who were resting their minds finally noticed that new prey had come in. They all roared in unison and stood up. Under the torch, three pairs of phosphorescent eyes stared closely at Xue Poye, as if staring at his mouth.

of fat.

Xue Poye had just finished vomiting when he heard a "click, click, click" sound. To his surprise, he saw the iron bar door in front of him slowly rising, removing the barrier between him and the three-headed Tibetan Mastiff.

Xue Poye was shocked. As soon as the iron door opened, he was directly exposed in front of the three-headed Tibetan mastiff. He would definitely die.

The three-headed Tibetan Mastiff seemed to be ready to kill, with its fangs exposed, as if it was about to pounce at any time.

Xue Poye's pupils shrank, his whole body felt cold, and his body temperature suddenly reached its lowest point.

Seeing that the iron gate had risen to his neck, and the Tibetan Mastiff was fully capable of attacking, Xue Poye roared, and like a spiritual ape, he reached out and grasped the iron bars on the iron gate, and his body rose together with it.

As if he understood Xue Poye's trick, the Tibetan Mastiff at the front rushed forward like lightning.

The Tibetan Mastiff's jumping ability is amazing. When Xue Poye saw the Tibetan Mastiff coming towards him, he hurriedly retracted his legs. Even so, his calf was still caught by the Tibetan Mastiff's sharp claws. The claws penetrated into the flesh. Xue Poye felt a heartbreaking pain.

The Tibetan Mastiff was grabbing his own body and climbing up. His sharp fangs were opened and he was about to bite his thigh.

The result of this bite would definitely be unimaginable, and it was even possible to bite off the leg forcefully. Therefore, Xue Poye held back the severe pain, clenched the iron bar with both hands, gritted his teeth and used all his strength to bite the leg.

He kicked the Tibetan Mastiff hard on the head.
