Chapter 116 Strange Reward
In the palace.

Li Chengze was in the backyard, leisurely eating grapes and watching a group of dancers dancing. He felt very comfortable.

From time to time, he would applaud, looking like a real dandy boy.

A moment later, a servant from the mansion came over quickly.

"Your Highness!"

The servant came to Li Chengze and immediately bowed and said, "Your Highness, the palace commander greets you."

Li Chengze nodded and said, "Let them in."

"Yes." The servant nodded in agreement, turned around and walked towards the gate.

However, Li Chengze still lay on the recliner and continued to look at the dancers in front of him.

Soon, the servant who had just left came back, followed by Yan Xiaoyi and a dozen fully armed guards.

"Your Highness, the commander-in-chief and his men are here." The servant said to Li Chengze.

Yan Xiaoyi also bowed to Li Chengze and said, "Greetings, Second Prince."

Li Chengze glanced at Yan Xiaoyi and said, "So it's Commander Yan."

"I wonder why Commander Yan came to my palace?"

Yan Xiaoyi nodded and said, "Your Highness, I am just doing a routine inspection."

"There was an assassin in the palace last night, so your Majesty sent me to search the city of Kyoto."

"Everyone will be searched, not just one person."

Li Chengze nodded thoughtfully and said, "So that's how it is."

"Then go ahead and search. Feel free to search."

Yan Xiaoyi said: "Thank you for your understanding, Second Prince."

Then he turned to the guards beside him and said, "Go search."

"Remember, be careful and don't be so reckless."

"Yes." The guards nodded in agreement and began to search the next room.

At this time, Li Chengze asked Yan Xiaoyi next to him, "Commander Yan, you just said that there was an assassin in the palace last night. What happened?"

Yan Xiaoyi waved his hand and smiled, "Your Highness, you are worrying too much. Nothing happened. They are just a few petty thieves."

"But they were also very bold and reckless. Although they did not cause any trouble in the palace, the impact was very bad."

"If there is no severe punishment, won't it be possible for anyone to break into the palace at will in the future?"

"Is that so?" Li Chengze glanced at Yan Xiaoyi and said nothing more.

Presumably, Emperor Qing had already issued an order not to spread the news of the prince's murder, so Yan Xiaoyi kept silent about the matter.

But it doesn’t matter, he already knows it anyway, so it doesn’t matter whether he tells it or not.

What’s important is what happened after the prince died.

At this time, Yan Xiaoyi looked at the dancers dancing beside him and said:

"Your Highness is really in a refined mood."

Li Chengze nodded and said, "Yes, I have nothing to do recently, so I want to find something fun to do."

"Well, they dance well, don't they?"

"Haha..." Yan Xiaoyi smiled awkwardly and said, "Not bad, it's really good."

Li Chengze smiled and said, "Since it's good, let's watch it together."

"Someone, bring a chair over for Commander Yan."

Yan Xiaoyi immediately waved his hand and said, "No... no need."

"Second Prince, please just watch. I still have things to do."

He wanted to see it, but if he couldn’t find the murderer in the next few days, he would lose his life!

Soon, the guards who had gone in to search came back again.

"How is it? Did you gain anything?" Yan Xiaoyi asked several people.

The guards shook their heads and said, "Nothing was found."

When he heard the answers from his subordinates, Yan Xiaoyi actually breathed a sigh of relief, and was obviously very satisfied with the result.

Afterwards, Yan Xiaoyi said to Li Chengze: "Second Prince, since the search is over, we will take our leave first."

"Excuse me." Li Chengze nodded and said, "It's okay. This is your duty."

"Goodbye!" Yan Xiaoyi bowed to Li Chengze again before turning around and leaving.

Li Chengze continued to lie on the recliner as he did before, eating the grapes peeled by Xiaotao and looking at the gorgeous dancers in front of him.

After a while.

The servant who had left earlier came jogging over.

"Your Highness, they have gone far away."

"I saw with my own eyes that they have already gone to search other houses."

"Really?" After hearing the servant's answer, Li Chengze immediately stood up from the rattan chair and said, "Hurry up and close the door of the mansion. No one is allowed to enter or leave without my permission."

"Yes, I will do it now."

Immediately afterwards, Li Chengze waved his hands at the dancing women in front of him and said, "Stop, stop, stop!!!"

The dancers who were dancing immediately stopped what they were doing after hearing Li Chengze's words.

"Stop dancing for now, go down and have a rest." Li Chengze said to Xiao Tao beside him, "Go to the accounting office and pay part of the wages to these dancers."

"Then, let them go."

Xiao Tao nodded and said, "Okay, Your Highness."

After Xiaotao and her people left, Li Chengze waved his hand and walked towards the bedroom.

He knew before that after the prince was killed, Emperor Qing would definitely send people to conduct a thorough search throughout the city of Kyoto.

If that was the case, he would use Yan Xiaoyi to tell Emperor Qing what had just happened.

Next, you can...

Just as Li Chengze walked to the door of the bedroom, the system in his mind sounded again.

[The next sign-in location is in the 'backyard' of the 'Royal Palace'. Please be ready in time. ]

When Li Chengze heard the system's voice, he immediately stopped where he was.

The check-in point has been refreshed again.

Several days had passed and there was no movement, so he thought there was something wrong with the system.

and many more! ! !

Li Chengze suddenly reacted.

The backyard of the palace?

Isn't that where he lives now?
Wow, this time the location for the line refresh is actually right at my doorstep.

Yes, the system is getting better and better at taking care of people.

Thinking of this, Li Chengze changed direction and walked towards the backyard again.

When he arrived at the backyard, he began to wait there.

After a moment, the system in my mind sounded again.

[This is the sign-in location. Do you want to sign in? ]

"Sign in." Li Chengze replied.

[Congratulations to the host for signing in successfully, and you will be rewarded with a martial arts secret book. ]

Then, a black wooden box appeared in Li Chengze's hand.

"This time it's another martial arts secret manual."

"I just don't know what martial arts secret book it will be this time."

However, Li Chengze looked at the wooden box in his hand and said curiously:
"Before, the system would directly tell you what the reward would be."

“Why is this time different?”

After thinking for a moment, Li Chengze gently opened the box.

Inside the box, there lay a pair of tattered cassocks quietly.

Li Chengze opened the robe again and found that it was covered with densely written words.

Moreover, at the top of the text, there were four large characters written.

"The Manual of the Sword to Exorcise Evil"!
