Taiping Inn

Princess Xuanzhen looked at Li Xuandu, and a complicated look flashed across her face, saying, "Thank you for your concern for Zifu, everything is fine. Since I am in the world, don't call me the eldest princess, or call me. Name 'Yuying'. "

Li Xuandu nodded and followed the sternest, "I wonder why the wizard left the imperial capital and appeared here?"

Yuying said seriously, "This matter has nothing to do with the Zi Mansion, so I can't tell you."

Li Xuan was not surprised by this answer, and glanced at the crowd around him with his eyes.

Yuying understood it and ordered, "You guys go back."

Eunuch Ma, who had originally lowered his head, raised his head and hesitated, "Your Highness..."

Li Xuandu said, "If I want to be unfavorable to the mage, what's the difference between you or not?"

Yuying said with a blank expression: "Get back."

Eunuch Ma no longer insisted and withdrew from here with a group of entourages.

This is a corridor between the lobby and the flower hall. Outside the corridor is a courtyard. After Ma and others left, only Li Xuandu, Zhou Shuning and Yuying were left.

There is a unique pavilion for people to sit in a leisurely manner not far away. Li Xuandu reached out and made a "invitation" action: "Master, go over there and talk."

Yuying glanced at the handsome boy following Li Xuandu and asked, "Who is this young man?"

Li Xuandu reached out to take off the "Baihua Spiritual Face" on Zhou Shuning's face and said, "Son-san Zhou Shuning, Shuning, come and see the mage."

Zhou Shuning had heard of the title of the eldest princess. Among the many royal families, she was the only one with a good reputation among the Shilin. Her father Zhou Tingchao praised the words and deeds of the eldest princess during his lifetime, so he respectfully He bowed and said, "I have met Master Yuying."

Yuying smiled and returned the Taoist etiquette.

Zhou Shuning hurriedly turned to the side, only receiving half a gift.

Then the three of them walked into the pavilion, Li Xuandu sat opposite Yuying, while Zhou Shuning stood obediently behind Li Xuandu.

Yuying sighed a little and said, "The incident in the second year of Tianbao was beyond my expectations. When I learned the news, the building was about to collapse and it was irreversible..."

Li Xuandu said: "This matter is a long story, and there are many strange things, so it is not appropriate to make a conclusion."

Yuying hesitated for a moment and asked, "You still want to go back to the imperial capital?"

Li Xuandu nodded and said bluntly: "I must go back, but not now."

Yuying's face turned pale slightly, and she couldn't help but say, "You want to avenge the Zhang family?"

Li Xuan looked at the beautiful Princess Xuanzhen, with clear and firm eyes, without any evil thoughts, but Yuying felt guilty for no reason.

After a long time, Li Xuandu said slowly, "Avenge? The mage underestimated me, Mr. Li, too much, and too much, Zhang Xiang."

If Li Xuandu returned to the imperial capital just to avenge his revenge, Yuying would be much more relaxed, but after Li Xuandu denied it, Yuying's heart suddenly hanged. She began to examine this young man who had been away from nearly five years again, which was indeed too different from the young man who had always shown his edge back then.

Yuying shook her head gently and said, "If it were the Purple House Sword Immortal back then, she would definitely not be able to say such a thing. He would only choose to take revenge."

Li Xuandu turned around and said, "Do you remember the mage? What did you say when we first met?"

Before Yuying answered, Li Xuan had already asked and answered: "Master, you said: 'The true intention of the sword is not to kill, but to hide. Your sword is too sharp and easy to break, and it must be in the scabbard. Hide well. '"

Yuying recalled this past event and had a smile on her lips, saying, "At that time, you said, 'Sword is a sword, a sword is a murder weapon, a sword is a killing technique. How can you kill people without being sheathed?'"

Li Xuandu sighed: "Although there are still people calling me the Purple Mansion Sword Immortal, I know that Li Xuan is completely different from the Purple Mansion Sword Immortal back then."

"I was back then, don't tell me which disciple you were, how powerful your master was, how many pounds the sword in his hand was better than that of many people. In my opinion, the battle between swordsmanship is a life-and-death battle, and the height is seen. At that time, I was a person who was a sword-companied by him and a pure swordsman.”

"If life has four seasons, some people will be in spring before they are twenty years old, and the spring breeze is proud. Some people will be in winter before they are twenty years old, and there will be only a vast white area left, and they will die clean. And my twenty years old Before the year, it is autumn, the season of slaughter and withering. It is said that after autumn, the master will kill, so it is also the most suitable season for killing people."

"I hold a sword at the age of five. From an ordinary iron sword to the current 'human world', all I can survive in the world is three feet in my hand."

"I killed people at the age of seven, and I never stopped in the next ten years. It's not that I like to kill people, but because I want to make a way out in this world, I have to kill people."

"Sword technique is murderous art. This is the sword technique I had before I was twenty years old." Li Xuandu looked at Yuying: "Now, I have taken a completely different path."

Yuying couldn't help asking, "What kind of road?"

Li Xuandu said, "One person's power will eventually be exhausted, and practicing swords cannot save the world."

Yuying had a little guess and couldn't help but sigh.

Li Xuandu said: "Nanhua Daojun once said "On Swords". He said that there are three kinds of swords in the world, namely: the sword of the emperor, the sword of the princes, and the sword of the common people. No matter how powerful the sword of the common people is, it is only one person every ten steps. If a common man gets angry, blood will splash five steps. The sword of the princes is made of the wise and brave as the tip, the honest man as the tip, the virtuous man as the spine, the loyal and holy man as the hilt, and the heroic man as the arm. One sword can stop a million troops. The sword of the emperor is made of the national weapon of the world, made of the five elements, and judged by punishment and virtue; it is opened by yin and yang, held by spring and summer, and carried out In autumn and winter. Straight ahead, unsurpassed, unparalleled, unparalleled, unparalleled, above the clouds, below the earth, a sword light chills the nineteen states. I dare not ask for the sword of the emperor, I only ask to help someone forge a sword of the emperor, sweep across the troubled times, cleanse the muddy water, clear the world and bring peace, and recreate a bright and clear world. "

Yuying looked deeply at Li Xuandu, and said word by word: "The current emperor inherits the throne and is the emperor. I wonder who you want to help forge the sword?"

"Is it the emperor?" Li Xuandu raised his voice slightly: " You are called the Son of Heaven, can you make decisions on big and small matters? Can you control your own safety? If you can't, you are not as good as me, a Jianghu person, how can you be called the Son of Heaven. "

Yu Ying was silent, and after a long time, she said: "Why are you telling me all this?"

Li Xuandu said: "Among the many royal family members, only the Grand Princess Xuanzhen makes me admire. In that situation, the Grand Princess was the only one who was willing to help us, so I don't want the master to end up in a situation where there is no return in the future. "

Yuying is a person who has seen many storms and waves. She will not be frightened by Li Xuandu's words at all. She raised her eyebrows and said, "Are you threatening me with empty words?"

Li Xuandu smiled and said, "Whether it is empty words or not, the master knows it in his heart. The court is now in a precarious situation and is barely maintaining it. Sun Songchan and others are just paperhangers. The four ministers who can save Wei and their new policies are dead. The master has been in the court for a long time. Even if I don't say it, the master must know it."

Yuying's face was slightly pale.

Li Xuandu continued, "Under internal and external troubles, there will be a day when the sky will collapse and the earth will split, both in ancient and modern times. When that day comes, will the master be buried with him? It is better to prepare early, and perhaps there will be a turning point."

When talking to someone like Yuying, there is no need to be too thorough. Yuying already understood what Li Xuandu was saying, and said, "Zifu wants me to cooperate with you from inside and outside."

Li Xuandu did not answer directly, but asked, "Master, are you going to see the Governor of Jingchu, Zhao Lianggeng?"

Yuying nodded.

Li Xuandu asked again: "Does the mage know why I am here?"

Yuying looked up at Li Xuandu and frowned: "Is it not a coincidence?"

Li Xuandu said: "Someone deliberately arranged it. That person is a subordinate of Tan Taiyun in the northwest. Although I don't know why the mage went to see Zhao Lianggeng, I know that Zhao Lianggeng is deeply involved with the geomancer. Tan Taiyun doesn't want you to have anything to do with the geomancer."

Yuying said: "Tan Taiyun is too nosy."

"Let's not talk about Tan Taiyun." Li Xuandu said: "The geomancer is the King of Qi. As a member of the Heavenly Family, the mage should know the King of Qi better than me. It is like courting a tiger to get its skin by making friends with this person. I hope the mage will be careful."
