Xue Yicheng smiled and said, "In the future, Xuanji Pavilion will rely on you to carry it forward, you don't have to be polite to me." If there is anything you don't understand, just ask the four elders. ”

Su Li suddenly felt weird, but also said, "Okay." ”

"I still have something to trouble your master, so you can go back and rest first. ”

"Good. Su Li left with Xia Qing and Han Feiyu.

She always felt that Xue Yicheng seemed to be a little different today, but she couldn't say what was different. In the end, he only thought that he might be like this because Shu Yao was gone, so he didn't do much in-depth.

Early in the morning of the second day, Xue Yicheng really found the four elders, and finally explained that she was going back to Luoyang. It will last for three years, and in the future, the major affairs of the Xuanji Pavilion will be secretly transmitted to Luoyang, and then let Su Li decide, and other small matters will be solved by the elders.

Up and down the Xuanji Pavilion, everything was going on in an orderly manner, but in the afternoon of the same day, the sound of the death knell suddenly sounded in the Xuanji Pavilion.

When Su Li heard the voice, he was stunned for a moment. In the Xuanji Pavilion, the death knell is generally sounded only after the death of the pavilion master and elders, and others are not qualified. And the number of death knells happened to be only when the pavilion master died, and Su Li was stunned all of a sudden.

It turned out that this was the reason why she felt strange yesterday. She finally understood now why Xue Yicheng said those words, it turned out that he was actually explaining what was going on? Those elders must have also explained some things.

Su Li hurriedly rushed to Xue Yicheng's room, and really saw a deacon hurriedly coming in and out, and the four elders were all gathered around Xue Yicheng's bed at this moment, and the four of them all looked solemn. Xiao Heng sorted out his clothes for Xue Yicheng by his bedside.

When Su Li entered, the four elders immediately moved out of the way and made it convenient for her to pass.

A deacon said, "Pavilion master, old pavilion master...... It has ascended to heaven. ”

Su Li nodded a little stunned, and Xiao Heng saw her coming, so he got up and got out of the way.

She saw Xue Yicheng dressed in a luxurious brocade robe, his hair meticulously combed, as solemn as when he went to see Shu Yao yesterday. He was holding a white porcelain vase in his hand, and next to it was a spiritual tablet that looked like it had just been made. It reads "My Beloved Wife Xie Shuyao's Spiritual Position", Su Li thought, the white porcelain bottle should contain Shu Yao's ashes.

She didn't expect Xue Yicheng to end his life in this way, it seems that he can't wait to see Shu Yao.

Xiao Heng suddenly turned to the crowd and said, "Your Xue Pavilion Master entrusted me with some things before his death, let me tell you. ”

Several elders knew that Xiao Heng had a great friendship with the old pavilion master, not to mention that he had another identity, so they all said, "Brother Xiao, please speak!"

Xiao Heng said: "Your Xue Pavilion Lord let you not have to find a place for him to be buried, he asked you to cremate his body, and the ashes left behind were put together with the ashes of his late wife Xie Shuyao." Enshrined together in the ancestral hall of the Xuanji Pavilion masters of the past dynasties. Xie Shuyao is the daughter of the former Xie Pavilion Master, I believe that you should not have any opinions on letting her enter the ancestral hall. ”

The old pavilion master's last wish, everyone naturally did not dare to slack off, and even nodded in agreement. Of course, because the backstage of this person who is speaking is too hard, he is the master of the current cabinet master, who dares to object.

However, everyone is also very curious, why the old pavilion master's wife suddenly changed from Lu Qing to Xie Shuyao, and these two seem to be half-sisters. However, although everyone has this question, they do not say it in their hearts.

"Yi Cheng ......" someone outside the house ran in with a crying voice.

This person is Xue Yicheng's former wife Lu Qing.

She looked at the person lying on the bed and ran over with tears in his eyes, but she was stunned when she saw the white porcelain vase he was holding in his hand and the spiritual seat next to him.

She suddenly laughed maniacally: "Hahaha...... After all these years, you haven't forgotten her for so many years...... Hahahaha...... It turns out that for all these years, I was nothing more than a joke...... A joke!" Lu Qing suddenly sat down on the ground as if he had been drained of all his strength.

Su Li didn't sympathize with her, but just felt a little pity for her. After loving for so many years and coming up with so many means, I thought that when Shu Yao died, Xue Yicheng's eyes would shift to him. But in the end, I didn't get anything, which is really sad and lamentable!

Although she is the same as Su Li in her previous life, she can't love each other, but there is too much difference between them. Lu Qing's love turned into hate in the end, and her hate hurt others. And Su Li's love hurt only herself from beginning to end.

In the end, neither of them is much better than the other.

Su Li laughed to himself and watched Lu Qing stumble out, as if he was completely insane.

Three days later, according to Xue Yicheng's last wishes, everyone cremated him, and enshrined him and Xie Shuyao's ashes in the ancestral hall.

They couldn't be together in life, and they can finally be together after death. I hope that in the next life, the two of them will be able to grow old together and never disappoint each other again.

And Lu Qing has been completely insane since then, Su Li took pity on her and asked the disciples to send her to a nunnery. and donated a sum of money to the nunnery, so that they could take care of her.

When watching the disciples send Lu Qing away, Su Li asked Xiao Heng with some puzzlement: "Old man, you have already found out the evidence of Lu Qingmai's murder, why didn't you report her to the government? Is it really just for the sake of that grievance in the rivers and lakes to be resolved in the rivers and lakes? But I don't think your character is like the kind of person who will let the rivers and lakes solve it by themselves." ”

Xiao Heng smiled and said, "Sometimes, dying is a relief, isn't it?"

Su Li was puzzled: "What do you mean ......?"

Xiao Heng continued: "For different prisoners, it is natural to choose different punishment methods. Lu Qing is not a heinous person, and after she hires someone to kill her sister, she must be panicked in her heart. Instead of letting her serve her sentence, it is better to let her live in panic and anxiety for the rest of her life, which is the greatest punishment for her. In addition, Lao Xue didn't want to be so cheap to her, and when Pavilion Master Xie made that request, he came up with that trick again, so that she couldn't ask for it for the rest of her life. ”

Su Li suddenly realized, but he was also shocked, he didn't expect that a man's revenge could be so terrifying.

Xiao Heng said: "Do you also think this is cruel?"

Su Li shook his head and said, "I don't think it's so cruel, after all, she did something wrong, and it was an unforgivable mistake." It's better this way, and now her ending can be regarded as paying off the debt of this life, and going crazy is a relief. ”

Xiao Heng nodded and said, "Yes, being crazy is a relief." ”

After all these things are dealt with, Su Li's return journey is approaching. She simply sorted out some packing and then explained some things. On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Su Li bid farewell to several elders, and officially embarked on the road back to Beijing with Xiao Heng and others. She specially spent the Lantern Festival with several elders before leaving, which can be regarded as thanking them for taking care of them for most of the year.

On the day of parting, Su Li was still a little reluctant to let the four elders live, and he was also reluctant to live in Xuanji Pavilion. The four elders were also a little reluctant to Su Li, after all, after they had been together for so long, they had already regarded her as a daughter, but they also knew that her identity could not stay here for a long time.

Su Li does not belong to Jinling City after all, she belongs to Luoyang, the center of power, an imperial city full of deceit. She didn't like that, but her roots were there.

Xue Yicheng had already told several elders about Su Li's true identity before he died, and although they were surprised, there were also elders who opposed Su Li's continued position as the pavilion master. I don't want Xuanji Pavilion to fall into the whirlpool of imperial power, and if I am not careful, I will let the century-old foundation of Xuanji Pavilion be ruined.

But under Xue Yicheng's persuasion and Xiao Heng's heavy profits, coupled with Su Li's qualifications, if he manages well, he will definitely make Xuanji Pavilion's status in the rivers and lakes a higher level. The four elders finally agreed, and agreed to her return to Beijing.

On the day Su Li set off, it happened to be snowing in Jinling City, as if she was here to see her off. The city is full of joy and liveliness, after all, the residual heat of the Lantern Festival has not passed. Outside the city, Su Li looked back at the two words "Jinling" carved on the city gate again, and sighed leisurely in his heart.

Goodbye, Jinling!

I don't know what it will be like for him to come back one day, and in what capacity will he come back?

Li Yue, there will be no time in the future!

When you return to Luoyang, you will only be Su Li......

"What, aren't you happy when you want to go back to Luoyang? You like it so much?" Han Feiyu rode on his horse, saw Su Li looking back at Jinling, and couldn't help but speak.

Su Li turned around, smiled, and said, "I'm naturally happy when I want to go home, let's go." ”

Han Feiyu didn't say anything more, and a few people pulled the reins of their horses and set off again. Su Li, Han Feiyu, and Xia Qing chose to ride horses, while Xiao Heng sat in the carriage because of his age.

This trip to Jinling is really over here.

Su Li's life and battlefield can only really start from Luoyang!

......

Luoyang City, Shizifu

"Master, there is news from Jinling that the princess has left Jinling. A secret guard said to Su Yu.

Su Yu hooked the corners of his mouth and said, "Okay, let people pay attention to it these days, when will Li'er arrive in Luoyang." ”

"Yes. ”

Su Yu looked at the leaves floating in the wind outside the window and smiled, "I haven't seen you for more than three months, I don't know what the scene will be like when I see you again." However, he should not know Li'er's identity at the moment, how should he behave when he sees Li'er?

Thinking of this, Su Yu sighed lightly, and didn't know when Li Er planned to tell her true identity. It's a bad feeling to always pretend not to know, but to endure her unintentional teasing.

But in order to successfully capture Su Li's little white rabbit, Su Yu, the big bad wolf, can only endure it for the time being.
