Kou Zhong came to see Li Shimin and Shi Qingyi, and in front of the door of the Qin Palace, he reported his name, and then he waited there until he got permission soon after, and then he walked towards the door under the watchful eye of the guards of the Qin Palace, who came to greet him.

Of course, the guards of the Qin Palace's palace had to be wary of this guest, after all, this one had now become a legend in the rivers and lakes, and even if he didn't consider his amazing martial arts at this time, his relationship with the extremely powerful valve family in Lingnan was enough to make Kou Zhong an opponent hostile to all the subjects under the Tang Dynasty.

However, at this time, this person who was originally an opponent came to Chang'an, and asked to see the King of Qin and the Princess of Qin, which of course did not make these Li Shimin's personal guards vigilant, lest the other party would risk his life and then fall into a disadvantageous situation for the King of Qin, however, after all, the King of Qin and the Princess of Qin had agreed to the other party's request to meet, so these guards could only follow closely to prevent the other party from suddenly attacking.

At this time, Li Shimin, who had come to the main hall to wait, was also extremely puzzled, after all, although he and Kou Zhong had known each other very early, however, they did not become friends after all, but became enemies, and had already made an agreement to compete on the battlefield in the future, and with the smooth progress of the unification war of the Tang Dynasty at this time, Kou Zhong's strength in Shandong was inevitably confronted with the Tang army. When the Tang army attacked on a large scale, Kou Zhong would inevitably receive extremely huge support from the south, so that even the Tang army, which had an absolute advantage in strength, would not have its own command. Relying on Kou Zhong's military talent and the support of the south, it was not easy for the Tang army to win, and at this time, due to the border problems of the northern Turks' large-scale attack, Li Shimin naturally could not free up his hands to personally command the army to attack Kou Zhong, so. Li Shimin was also very puzzled, and couldn't understand the purpose of Kou Zhong's arrival in Chang'an at this time.

"Since you can't figure it out, let's explain it when Kou Zhong comes!" Regarding Li Shimin's doubts, Shi Qingyi just smiled, and then said to Li Shimin, it was also the smile on Shi Qingyi's face that infected Li Shimin's heart, so his mood also relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face. Then, he saw Kou Zhong, under the "protection" of a group of guards, slowly walking into the hall and confronting him.

"I'm here to see Xiuning!" Kou Zhong said, his tone extremely calm, however, in his calm tone. But it seems that there are too many hidden things that cannot be expressed in words, and those things are too profound for ordinary people. However, at this time, Li Shimin was also a man who had experienced a lot, so he understood them in an instant, and therefore, in an instant, he understood Kou Zhong's intention, and then. He lowered his head, and after a long time, he said, "That's right! Well, I'll take you! ”

Li Shimin recalled the first time he met Kou Zhong, when Kou Zhong was just a fledgling. The young man who is not afraid of heaven and earth, and the simple and sincere Xu Ziling live a life without a fixed place, however, although they have nothing, they always look at the future with hopeful eyes, and never lose heart, and it is precisely because of their optimistic attitude towards life that Li Shimin is convinced that the future of these two teenagers is absolutely limitless.

So at that time, he would discuss with the other party on an equal footing regardless of the other party's poor background, and hoped that the other party could serve the Li family, but in the end, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling refused his invitation and left, which made Li Shimin puzzled, and it was not until this time that Li Shimin finally understood the reason: It turned out that from beginning to end, the reason was only because of a woman, his sister, Li Xiuning.

The third sister has made a marriage contract with the concubine Chai Shao since she was a child! That's why Kou Zhong finally rejected his offer, because he knew better than anyone that if he chose to be loyal to Li Valve, then in the future, he would never be able to be with the third sister, so, even if it was for this wish, he must not succumb to Li Valve, and only by leaving could he get a glimmer of hope.

That's why he left, until now he has laid a force in the south of Shandong, and has also set up a relationship with the powerful Song valve in the south, however, the creation makes people, and now he can no longer see his third sister, because heaven and man are forever separated......

Although Li Shimin said that he would take Kou Zhong to see the third sister Li Xiuning, but in the end, he did not do this, because because of his great military exploits, his status in Li Tang at this time was actually only below Tang Emperor Li Yuan, and therefore, his every move would become the target of people with intentions, and Kou Zhong, who came to him at this time, was an enemy subordinate to the hostile side, so if Li Shimin took Kou Zhong to see Li Xiuning, and this matter was noticed by the people in Li Tang's court who were hostile to Li Shimin, then Li Shimin's body, will definitely get into big trouble, so the person who took Kou Zhong there was actually Shi Qingyi, because Shi Qingyi had always lived in a simple place after all, so he didn't want to be as eye-catching as Li Shimin.

Kou Zhong pretended to be an entourage and followed behind Shi Qingyi, and was led by Shi Qingyi to the tomb of the princess where Li Xiuning was buried, but when he was on the way, Shi Qingyi suddenly asked: "If you come to see King Qin so rashly, aren't you afraid that King Qin will be unfavorable to you?" But when Kou Zhong heard this, he just smiled indifferently: "Because my little aunt is there, naturally, it will not be unfavorable to me!" Are you right, little aunt! Shi Qingyi also smiled when he heard this: "It seems that someone leaked my bottom to you!" Although she didn't know who told Kou Zhong about her identity at this time, but after thinking about it carefully, she knew that the people who were fine at Shi Qing's clothes were actually so many people, and they had no ill will towards her, so she didn't bother to pursue it, so she left Chang'an with Kou Zhong, and finally, came to the place where Li Xiuning's grave was.

Li Xiuning's tomb is very large, far exceeding the specifications of ordinary princess tombs, on the one hand, of course, because she is Li Yuan's most beloved daughter, but more importantly, it is Li Xiuning's countless exploits in the establishment of the Tang Dynasty. When Li Yuan asked to bury Li Xiuning with a system far higher than the princess's specifications, even the officials in charge of etiquette at that time could only obediently comply, which led to this large-scale princess tomb.

The area around the tomb is very clean, and you can see that it is regularly cleaned. Shi Qingyi would occasionally come to see Her Royal Highness the Third Princess sleeping here, and therefore, the guards who guarded the cemetery here and the servants who were in charge of cleaning were also familiar with Her Royal Highness the Princess of Qin, and at this time, Shi Qingyi drove away these guards and miscellaneous servants and did not allow them to get close to the tomb, and then she asked Kou Zhong to come forward and worship at the tombstone. And she herself walked away silently. After all, lovers who haven't seen each other for many years need some separate time to meet at this time.

Kou Zhong lit the incense he was carrying, inserted them into the incense burner placed in front of the tombstone, and then sat down in front of the tombstone and looked at the tombstone. Shi Qingyi, who was watching him from a distance, clearly saw that he was saying something to the tombstone, however. Due to the distance and the fact that Kou Zhong's own martial arts skills were extremely skillful, Shi Qingyi couldn't hear what he was saying, however, there was no doubt that it was some very happy and sad memories. Because Shi Qingyi clearly saw the smile on Kou Zhong's face. And the tears that dripped on his face at the same time, asking what is the situation in the world, think about it, that's it! Shi Qingyi said in his heart.

On that day, Kou Zhong sat in front of Li Xiuning's grave for a long time. It wasn't until the sun was setting in the west that he stood up, and he wanted to leave with Shi Qingyi in despair, but at this time, there was an accident, he saw Li Xiuning's former husband, the concubine Chai Shao suddenly arrived, Kou Zhong was caught off guard, but it was just opposite Chai Shao, this time, all the three people present were extremely surprised, Kou Zhong and Chai Shao all looked at each other dumbfounded, and Shi Qingyi was also stunned, but then she reacted, and immediately came to the middle of the two, Blocked Kou Zhong behind him.

"Horse, I brought the others!" Shi Qingyi said to Chai Shao: "Because he has no other malice, he just wants to worship the third sister......" There is no need for Shi Qingyi to say too much, because they are mutual rivals, so Chai Shao will naturally know Kou Zhong's intentions lightly, although he is also very surprised that Kou Zhong would choose the path of Li Shimin, the king of Qin, to worship his wife, but he still has to admit that in terms of affection for his wife, Kou Zhong is actually as affectionate as himself, only because of his family background, so he finally lost to himself, let Princess Xiuning become his wife, and being able to marry Li Xiuning is the happiest thing Chai Shao has been in these years.

However, at this time, Yiren has gone, things are wrong, Li Xiuning finally died, and in the face of the death of his beloved wife, Chai Shao was not only extremely painful in his heart, but also did not have a deep resentment towards himself in his heart, why did he not have a strong ability to protect his wife, and even when his wife knew that something might be in danger that time, for his own safety, he also deceived himself back to Guanzhong, so that Yin and Yang were separated, and if at that time, he could have more powerful power, Or if he has more perceptiveness, then maybe he can successfully protect his wife, and even if he can't, he can live and die with her!

Chai Shao even thought about it more than once, if at that time, it would be Kou Zhong who was by Li Xiuning's side, but the answer given in his heart was: he would definitely protect her and successfully escape from there, because although Kou Zhong has no outstanding family background and no wealth that rivals the country, however, he has an extraordinary mind, a rapid reaction and extremely clever martial arts, so he will definitely be able to rescue Li Xiuning, instead of just becoming a useless burden like himself.

At this time, Chai Shao and Kou Zhong's eyes were facing each other, and Shi Qingyi was in the middle of them, however, Shi Qingyi clearly saw that there was no anger in Chai Shao's eyes, but only sadness, and a trace of relief, and behind Shi Qingyi, Kou Zhong also came into contact with this gaze, and he instantly understood the meaning of this gaze, so invariably, the mouths of the two men let out a slightly bitter laugh together: "Hahaha......"

"I didn't expect that Princess Qin would bring her old friend here today, Chai Shao is not talented, and wants to get drunk with Brother Kou Zhong, I don't know if Princess Qin and Brother Kou Zhong agree to the next request!" Chai Shao said, and without waiting for Shi Qingyi to return, Kou Zhong had already replied happily: "That's right, the little brother actually has a lot of words, and he wants to talk to Brother Chai Shao!" In this case, Her Royal Highness the princess might as well go back first! Just let me catch up with Brother Chai Shao! ”

Kou Zhong called Shi Qingyi a princess instead of a little aunt, Shi Qingyi already knew that the other party didn't want to reveal his relationship with him in front of Chai Shao, and Shi Qingyi could obviously see that Chai Shao and Kou Zhong at this time did not have a hostile attitude, so after thinking for a while, she finally smiled and nodded: "Since this is the case, then I might as well be respectful and obey my fate, and go back first!" With that, she really returned to the Qin Palace, with her guards, and left Kou Zhong to Chai Shao.

And after that, Chai Shao did not embarrass Kou Zhong, but took Kou Zhong to a luxury restaurant run by the Chai family to drink, they asked for the best single room, and then, while the two of them were drinking, they talked about the past they had experienced with Li Xiuning, Chai Shao was Li Xiuning's childhood sweetheart, and Kou Zhong had the experience of rescuing Li Xiuning many times, the two of them kept talking, and then, the same tears did not stop.

The blood-stained rivers and mountains are picturesque, how can you compare a little cinnabar between your eyebrows, even if you lose the world, it will be just a prosperity in the end. Already drunk Kou Zhong laughed stupidly, he remembered a long time ago, at that time, because Chong Guan was angry, he resolutely chose to leave, to start his own business, and even planned to defeat Li Shimin on the battlefield in order to seize the world, because only in this way did he have a chance to snatch that person from the hands of Li Tang and Chai Shao, but now, Yiren has gone, and what he did, after all, still has no meaning!

So at this time, Kou Zhong and Chai Shao were able to drink together, because their beloved was gone, but the two originally hostile rivals lost their hatred because of this, and they cherished each other and smiled at each other...... That's it!! (To be continued......)
