In the office, the serious atmosphere is just like Di Renjie's tense face.

"Biting Jin, the alchemist that the empress received, what kind of person is he?"

In front of Di Renjie was a tall and extremely strong man.

A strong body of muscles symbolizes his glowing spirit.

Bronze skin, and a huge "dry" character engraved on his right arm.

The strong man's name is Cheng Yanjin, a famous general of the empire and a good friend of Di Renjie.

"Huaiying, you know me, I'm just a rough person, but I'm not good at observing others."

"However, that alchemist gives me a rather mysterious, but ominous aura......"

Cheng Yanjin, who has always been calm, also showed a rare worried expression.

The mysterious monk approached the empress, and through the three accurate hexagrams, he foreshadowed what happened next in the three paths, and was respected by the empress.

"The empress has great ambitions, Huaiying, you know, this is her wish that she has never let go. Whether this alchemist's prediction comes from a hexagram or a strategy, it will definitely be her help. ”

"Even, the empress allowed that alchemist, as long as the hexagram changed, he could enter the palace at any time to admonish him......"

Cheng Yanjin's voice became low, and it was precisely because of this that he came to find Di Renjie.

"Enter the palace at any time to advise ......"

Di Renjie's face became more and more ugly, and he understood that the empress had given that Fang Shi too much power.

If such a right is acquired by a person who intends to estimate it, then the consequences will be unimaginable.

But, even more strangely, as a reward, the alchemist's request was very strange.

"Your Majesty, all I want is a courtyard where peonies can be cultivated, so that my disciples and I can play chess in the flowers."

This is exactly what Fang Shi said, and when Cheng Yanjin repeated it, Di Renjie frowned.

"What's his name?"

"Ming Shiyin, his disciple is called Yixing."

Ming Shiyin, Yixing......

Completely unfamiliar names.

However, it made Di Renjie feel deeply uneasy and confused.

In the past, the illusions that appeared in my dreams many times were ......

"Bite the gold, inform Wan'er, and let her pay attention to the content of Ming Shiyin's palace advice at any time."

Hammering his desk hard, Di Renjie gritted his teeth and decided to go to the peony courtyard in person.

......

Inside a restaurant.

"Lu Yu, don't patronize and drink, eat wine~"

Li Bai, who was drunk, drank a glass of wine, and immediately showed an intoxicated smile and hiccups with satisfaction.

"Good wine, good wine, the wine of this wine fairy shop is really a must in Chang'an."

picked up the wine jug again and poured wine into the empty glass, Li Bai exclaimed.

"Li Bai, didn't you say that you had something to do with me?"

Don't look at Li Bai's drunken face, but in fact, he has only drunk less than three glasses of wine.

Obviously, the amount of alcohol is so bad, and he still calls himself a wine sword fairy, Lu Yu can't help but slander.

"Life must be happy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon."

Drunken and smiling, Li Bai held a cup to invite the moon, but now it was broad daylight, how could there be any sun, Li Bai had to drink the wine in the cup alone.

"Okay, I know you're pretty good at writing poetry, it's time to get down to business, right?"

I had memorized Li Bai's poems when I was in school, but now I heard him read the poems with my own ears, Lu Yu felt a little weird.

After all, in the real world, Li Bai is just a poetry immortal, not a sword immortal, let alone a wine sword immortal.

"Do you know why I returned to Chang'an from the desert?"

The shallow smile on the corner of his mouth because of drunkenness gradually subsided, and Li Bai lifted the empty cup, reflecting his face through the crystal body.

"Lu Yu, don't look at me being called a sword immortal by the world, the number one assassin of the empire or something, in fact, I am a fool who doesn't even know what I'm pursuing."

The smile reappeared, only to become very bitter, like the yellow sand flying above the desert, and the mind returned to the painful past.

Under the mirage in the desert of the clouds in the past, it was Li Bai's hometown.

However, when Li Bai returned with the glory of the Sword Immortal, he found that the exotic and prosperous city in his childhood memories had long since ceased to exist.

The princess, who had been sold into slavery, confided in him what had happened to her: the iron horsemen of the empire had crossed the Great Wall and leveled the entire desert in the clouds. The ruined city was soon buried in yellow sand.

Li Bai wanted to rescue the princess, but the girl chose to cut herself off from the humiliation.

When the Qinglian sword was unsheathed, it was also the moment when the entire Chang'an was shaken.

The huge Chang'an, the wind and clouds changed color for a while, and it was dim under the monstrous sword light.

However, the chivalrous heart he pursued was told by a mysterious old man that this was not the case.

Li Bai was confused, and went to the desert again, wanting to find the truth.

However, the closer he gets to the truth, the more the lingering nightmare haunts his heart.

Not only because of the first setback under that absolute power, Li Bai also had doubts about his own strength.

If you are told that what you are pursuing is wrong one day, how devastating it will be.

The sword can cut through all enemies, but it can cut through self-doubt.

"Just like the justice that you and Huaiying are arguing about, in fact, for the meaning of justice, even if I go all over the world with a sword, I may not really understand."

The handsome face was a little more decadent, Li Bai shook his head with a wry smile, and his brown hair was as chaotic as his thoughts at the moment.

"Lu Yu, actually, my alcohol consumption is very bad. However, the only thing that can accompany me unswervingly is the sword, and the only thing is wine. ”

Qinglian's sword came out of its sheath, and the ice-like sword light reflected Li Bai's confused eyes.

"Li Bai, do you also have the answer you are looking for?"

Seeing that the generation of swordsman Li Bai showed such a depressed expression, Lu Yu realized that Li Bai was not what he thought, a sword, a pot of wine, and no troubles in the world.

He also has things to pursue, but can't get.

"Not only the answer I'm looking for, it's also the knot in my heart that I have to cut with my sword."

Taking a deep breath, Li Bai's gaze gradually returned to its original essence.

I have to say that Li Bai's heart is very strong, just now he was still feeling the knot of the past, but now in the blink of an eye, it is back to the same.

"Lu Yu, when we first met, I felt that the two of us were destined."

Smiling, Li Bai personally poured wine for Lu Yu.

"That's why I don't want to see you follow in my footsteps."

"Perhaps, when one day you pursue the righteousness that you feel is right, then I have also untied the knot in my heart."

"Definitely."

The glasses of the two collided together with a crisp sound.
