After Li Zi, Xu Huaigu and Zhang Xiaohe had dinner in Xingqing City, Zhang Xiaohe left the two of them and went to prepare for the trip to Middle-earth on his own.

At night, Xu Huaigu and Li Zi returned to the inn and discussed the matter of going to the battlefield together. They want to go to the battlefield, but this battlefield is not just for everyone.

Dayu has a regular army, how can it allow two monks who are not in the establishment to participate in the war at will? If you want to go up, you can go if you want to, what seriousness is there on this battlefield?

Therefore, the two had to find their way to the battlefield first. In this regard, Li Zi is a little helpless, she has been in Dayu Country for a short time, she knows few people, and she can't talk about the door, so this burden falls on Xu Huaigu, but fortunately, Xu Huaigu has a good candidate in his heart.

Xu Huaigu and Li Zi sat opposite each other at a table, he made her a cup of tea and asked, "Do you remember Lin Cangyang?" Li Zi frowned and thought for a while, and said with some uncertainty: "It seems that when we were helping people tell fortunes under the plane tree, the princess Cangyang who took us into the palace?" It's been a long time, and I can't remember it clearly. Reading the book Laxu Huaigu affirmed: "Yes, it's her." Later, after you left Xingqing, she also came to me once and asked me to do her a favor, so she and I knew each other. With her status as a princess, there must be generals she knows, and when the time comes, she will introduce us to those generals, and this matter will be fine. After hearing this, Li Zi also agreed: "That's right, after all, which general doesn't want to send two more monks under his command?" I can't wait to have more. The main thing is that there is a lack of this way, and if the way is found, it will be easy to do. Since you think Lin Cangyang is suitable, then let's go and visit her. Xu Huaigu nodded and said, "Then let's go tomorrow, it's late tonight, and it's time to rest." Li Zi glanced at the only bed in the room, his expression was unnatural, and said, "You sleep on the bed, you worked hard to take care of me last night." Xu Huaigu took a sip of tea, but excused himself: "Your mind is too depleted, it's better to rest well these days, don't stay up late." I sat cross-legged on the ground and practiced, closing my eyes and opening them all night, and I got used to it. But then again, this inn is really dark, just such a small room, even three big beads overnight, if it weren't for the fact that the aura here is still quite strong, which will help you recover your mind, I would rather live in a secular inn. It's not that it's a little bit of money, it's just that I can't get used to the boss's black-hearted face. Li Zi smiled and said, "I'll just say one word, and you can say a bunch of things." Over the years, why has there been more and more talking? Xu Huaigu also smiled and said, "You know, I have the least words in front of outsiders, and I am only a chatter in front of you old friends, so let me nag a few more words." The tacit understanding between the two is naturally not quarrelsome.

Since Xu Huaigu asked Li Zi to go to bed, she was not hypocritical, and climbed into the bed to cover the quilt. Xu Huaigu thought she was asleep, so he untied the sword at his waist, sat on the ground and breathed, and began to practice.

It wasn't until Xu Huaigu's breathing gradually became even and he was intoxicated that Li Zi slowly turned over, lay on the bed on his side, tightened the quilt, and opened his eyes to look at Xu Huaigu.

The moonlight crept in quietly through the window and shone on Li Zi's eyes, shining like early morning dewdrops.

Li Zi looked at it for a while, as if she was tired, she blinked her eyelashes slightly, yawned, and fell asleep on her side.

…… The next day came quickly, and the moonlight that shone on Li Zi's eyes last night turned into sunlight, and she could feel the dazzling light through her eyelids, so she woke up early.

She sat up, blinked, took a comb from the pillow and brushed her hair up, when she heard the sound of boiling water.

She looked at the source of the voice, it turned out to be a kettle on the stove, the water in it was already boiling hot, Xu Huaigu was standing aside, lifting the kettle, and making the first cup of tea in the morning.

Xu Huaigu didn't like to drink tea originally, but he has been drinking a lot recently. He found that he still had to drink a cup of tea early in the morning, otherwise he would feel dizzy and unenergetic all day.

Li Zi has no interest in tea and wine, what to drink, if you don't drink it, don't drink it. However, she has a sweet tooth, so yesterday's bean curd specially instructed Xu Huaigu to put more sugar.

When Xu Huaigu saw her wake up, he took a cup of tea and put it on the table, and asked, "What are you going to eat for breakfast today?" Li Zi tilted his head and thought for a while, and said, "Is there anything sweet?" Xu Huaigu replied: "Last time, Jiang Chengcuo brought me a lot of dates to eat, which was sweet and delicious, but I don't know which candied fruit shop he bought it from, and I couldn't find it for a while." Why don't you eat sugar buns? I brought you breakfast yesterday in the stall, it seems to be osmanthus candy. Li Zi raised his eyebrows, didn't say anything earlier, but asked, "Who is Jiang Chengcuo?" Xu Huaigu said: "When we were still in Qingling, the man who often sat behind the counter in the grocery store opposite your house." Li Zi turned his head to the side and said with a displeased expression: "That guy is from the Demon Sect, I don't like him." ”

"People haven't done anything bad, it's just that his master is a member of the Demon Sect, so he is too. Besides, he is also a man of temperament, and he is quite compatible with me. Li Zi sighed helplessly.

Xu Huaigu and the people of the Demon Sect are mixed together, she is clear in her heart, but now that the war between the human race and the demon clan is in progress, Xu Huaigu is afraid that he will leave a handle on people.

As the saying goes, good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles, Xu Huaigu's contributions to the human race are borne by everyone with peace of mind on weekdays, but if the demon clan is involved one day, no one will look at those past contributions.

Although it sounds a little unfair, this is human nature, Xu Huaigu should also know, so why doesn't he know how to protect himself?

Xu Huaigu glanced at Li Zi, as if he saw what she was thinking, and asked, "Li Zi, if I ask you something, you have to answer me well." Li Zi said: "What's the matter?" ”

"What do you think of Bai Xiaoyu?" Li Zi pursed his lips, was silent for a moment, and said, "What do you think, I don't understand what you mean." ”

"Remember the letter she wrote to us? I remember it all clearly. No matter where she stands, she always has the two of us in mind. Li Zi, I hope you don't be too harsh on her, she has her own reasons for joining the Demon Sect. Li Zi frowned and said, "She has her hardships, and I also have mine." Since ancient times, decency and the demon sect have not stood apart, you are a wild cultivator, so you can do what you want, I am a person from Taihua Mountain, and I can't do anything without considering the impact on the sect. If it is spread that I have an unclear relationship with the people of the Demon Sect, what kind of reputation should my sect suffer? Xu Huaigu lowered his head and muttered: "I see, then speaking of which, the disagreement between you and Bai Xiaoyu in Qingling last time was also for others to see?" Then you tell me secretly, what do you think of her, and I have a good idea. You can trust me, I won't say it. Li Zi sighed and said, "I naturally trust you, but I really don't know what to say about Bai Xiaoyu's opinion." Let's talk about the past, it is true that she was good to us, but after many years, I have never met her once, and my feelings have faded. To be honest, I didn't feel much when I saw her, as if I didn't feel it anymore. My master often said to me that a cultivator should have a clear mind and be able to let go. My Master's Tao is the way of letting go, and only by letting go can we have it. Maybe it's because I've been influenced by him a lot, and my heart is light, so I'm like this. Maybe one day, I will no longer care about you and Zhang Xiaohe, even my master, and even myself. Xu Huaigu looked serious, shook his head and said, "If that's the case, then I don't believe in his way." ”

"Who knows?" Li Zi was also a little lost,

"What are you doing early in the morning, let's go out for breakfast and visit the princess Cangyang." Xu Huaigu nodded, the two of them packed up their things a little, walked out of the inn together, and arrived at the small breakfast stall where Xu Huaigu bought bean curd yesterday.

The proprietress recognized Xu Huaigu at once, and greeted with a smile: "Brother is here again, what are you going to eat today?" Xu Huaigu ordered a few scallion pancakes and a bowl of noodle soup, and Li Zi asked for two steamed buns filled with osmanthus sugar.

It was soon ready early, Xu Huaigu looked at the tailor shop opposite the breakfast stall while eating, but saw that the door of the tailor's shop was locked, and the door was not even opened, let alone seeing Pingcui.

So Xu Huaigu asked, "Shopkeeper, why isn't this tailor shop on the other side open?" Did you help me talk to Pingcui yesterday? The proprietress hurriedly replied: "I brought it, I also specially told Pingcui personally, and she was very happy after hearing it." As for the closure of this tailor's shop, it is not unusual, business has not been good in various parts of the city recently, and there are few customers in the tailor's shop, so her mother simply closed the door, and she can still have a quiet time. Xu Huaigu asked again: "What about her father, I remember that he was a showman, is he still helping others teach?" ”

"Eh, do you remember him, her father is already dead! A few years ago, he got sick, his body was already weak, and he didn't have much money to see a doctor to take medicine, and he died in a month or two, as if it was five or six years ago. Xu Huaigu frowned, took a bite of the cake, and drank the soup with his head immersed, while Li Zi listened carefully on the side.

"As for Pingcui's mother, the needlework is very good, so she opened this shop. The two of them depend on each other, even our neighbors are pitiful when they see it. Li Zi took a bite of the bun and asked tentatively, "Why don't you go to her house first?" Xu Huaigu shook his head and said, "Don't worry, let's go to Cangyang Mansion first." This is my private matter, and I will go there myself when the time comes. Li Zi said: "I can accompany you." Xu Huaigu pondered for a moment and said, "It's okay." The rest of the time, the two of them buried themselves in eating breakfast, and then rushed to Cangyang Mansion in the north of Xingqing City.
