Chapter 30: Just a cup of tea

Hua Yuyao?

Li Xiu raised his eyes to look at her, but he didn't react, the name Hua Yuyao was the first time he heard it, and he didn't have any impression.

Murong Xue explained: "Hua Yuyao is the holy daughter of the Shangqing Palace, her status is transcendent, and her strength is not bad, even the little martial king Zhou Yuan is far behind her. ”

"So what?"

Li Xiu put one hand behind his back, took his eyes off her face, and landed on the plum tree on one side.

This tree is very old, and it is very beautiful, it is enough to show that this tree is very beautiful, Li Xiu rarely looked at it before, and now it should be considered appropriate to enjoy it at night and leisure.

"She's very strong, not under my brother. ”

Seeing that Li Xiu didn't care about it, Murong Xue stood in front of the plum tree with a light footstep, standing in Li Xiu's sight.

After the Shangqing Palace entered the Tang Dynasty, it was no different from the rest of the Huangzhou forces, and they also planned to challenge those strong people on the list to make a name for themselves, and the first place they chose was Gusu City.

It's bold.

But for some reason, until the end, the saintess Hua Yuyao did not challenge.

But the people in Gusu City have a high opinion of her.

"So what?"

is still this sentence, Li Xiu's eyes did not even set off the slightest wave.

This is the confidence and blandness brought by absolute strength, without any disguise.

Seeing that Murong Xue was silent, Li Xiu thought for a while and explained: "Your brother is very strong, I haven't seen Hua Yuyao, but I'm sure she must not be Murong's opponent, so in Gusu City, I will choose to be indifferent, the old sword god's vision is very high, my vision is also very high, Murong can enter the eyes of the two of us, it proves that he is very good." ”

Li Xiu said softly.

"Shangqing Palace is a big force in the Wasteland, only inferior to the Holy Sect, Hua Yuyao is naturally very strong as a saint in it, but you should know that if Murong goes to the Wasteland, no matter which sect he joins, he can become a Holy Son in the future. ”

The evaluation of these words is very high, and Li Xiu rarely has such a high opinion of a person.

Among the younger generation, Murong is one of the few people who can enter his eyes.

"What do you want to say?"

Li Xiu said a lot, Murong Xue felt a little angry for no reason, he came here to remind him kindly, but he didn't pay attention to it at all.

"I just want to say that Hua Yuyao is not as good as your brother, why do you think she can threaten me?"

Li Xiu said seriously.

This is a very arrogant statement, but it comes out of his mouth with confidence, which makes people unable to refute.

It makes a lot of sense.

"The sea of books is a big deal, everyone's eyes are staring here, and people from Huangzhou are even more eyeing it, this is Mr. Chen's big gamble, it is a chance and a disaster. ”

Murong Xue looked at Li Xiu and asked the doubts in her heart.

The Tang people hoped that Li Xiu would win, and the people of Huangzhou hoped that Li Xiu would lose.

The sea of books is not a ring, and the final win may not be the strongest one, everything depends on two words, chance!

She knew that Li Xiu had to win, so she wanted to ask Li Xiu how he planned to win.

Li Xiu didn't speak, and stood quietly in place, maybe he didn't want to speak, maybe he didn't think about it.

The night passed quietly, as if it happened suddenly, the sun rose from outside Meiling, and a ray of gold shone on the faces of the two people.

The heavens and the earth lit up.

After a long silence, Murong Xue spoke again, and there seemed to be a lot of complexity and nostalgia in her eyes.

"I'm leaving, leaving Datang. ”

She spoke, her voice a little faint.

"Where are you going?"

Li Xiu asked.

"Shangqing Palace!"

Murong Xue replied.

There are a lot of grievances between the two of them, and with the development of time, those grievances seem to have dissipated a lot with the battle of Xiaonanqiao.

Maybe they can be regarded as friends.

Li Xiu didn't say anything, just said congratulations and said a good wind.

Then Murong Xue left the academy, stepping on the path that Li Yinan had stepped on before, and gradually disappeared into Meiling.

Li Xiu became more and more silent.

Shangqing Palace is good, but Gusu City is not bad, why should Murong Xue go to Huangzhou to practice?

He moved his gaze into the distance, looked around the mountains and forests to the sky, and lowered his head shortly after.

It seems that Gusu City is in chaos, and Murong Yingjie and Murong Tiancheng are destined to have a fight.

That's why Murong asked Murong Xue to go to Huangzhou at this time to protect his life.

Datang can't stand the chaos.

If Gusu City must be chaotic, then they will all die!

Li Xiu's eyes flashed with a hint of evil, turned around and walked back to his small courtyard along the golden yellow and slept quietly.

......

The sun and moon rose and set staggered outside, and I don't know how many days passed, Li Xiu finally opened his eyes.

He reached out and rubbed his chin, stretching slightly.

The sleep was very sound, and it was very comfortable.

No one bothered, don't worry about the mess that you don't have.

"Awake?"

After noticing his movements, Chen Zhimo, who was not far away, opened his mouth to greet him.

"Ignore him, play chess, I can tell you, I will never let you win sixteen games in a row!"

Liang Xiaodao sat in front of him and urged angrily.

His sleeves were rolled up high, his lips were pale, and he looked very urgent, and there was only one movement between him and the monkey.

"Don't worry, if you don't win all your year's worth today, Lao Tzu will change your surname!"

Chen Zhimo sneered and dropped a chess piece.

"If I hadn't woken up yesterday, would you have been able to win fifteen games in a row? ”

Liang Xiaodao said a little angrily.

"It turns out that the dignified Northland is actually some rough people who can't play chess!"

Chen Zhimo said.

"You're insulting!"

Liang Xiaodao slapped the table, looking annoyed.

The noise between the two people was loud and could be heard from afar.

Xu Yingxiu came to Li Xiu and reached out and handed over a hot towel.

Li Xiu stretched out his hand to take it and wiped his face, then walked to the side of the chessboard, reached out and picked up Chen Zhimo's chess pieces and put them on the chessboard, with a soft snap.

"You've lost!"

Li Xiu glared at Liang Xiaodao, and then walked out.

Chen Zhimo shook his head with a wry smile, this one of the players who ended the chessboard was snatched by others.

"Tomorrow is the day when the sea of books is open, where are you going?"

Liang Xiaodao shouted at his back and asked.

Li Xiu paused for a moment, he couldn't imagine that he had slept for more than ten days.

"Go do something, don't follow me. ”

Stretching out his hand and dragging the raccoon standing at the door, Li Xiu waved his hand casually and walked out of the yard.

He didn't want to say, and naturally they wouldn't ask.

"This game doesn't count, it's Li Xiu's, it has nothing to do with you, and I can't be counted as losing. ”

Coming back to his senses, Liang Xiaodao's eyes rolled, and he said while collecting the chess pieces.

Chen Zhimo was stunned for a moment, and then scolded: "You fart, I think you just want to repay the debt, and I feel sorry for your one hundred taels of silver tickets." ”

These words are even more insulting, Liang Xiaodao's face turned red: "Just one hundred taels of silver tickets, how could I have put it in my eyes? The last son is obviously Li Xiu's son, what does it have to do with you?"

"Then I'll take the pieces back, and let's make the last move. ”

"No, my chess pieces have been withdrawn, who still re-plays with you, I don't care, in short, this game can't be counted. ”

"You're special!"

......

The noise behind him became smaller and smaller, and Li Xiu walked out of the small courtyard towards the outside of the academy.

He said before that he would do four things, go to the academy, go to the palace, go to the palace, and go to the Taibai Building.

The palace was naturally not in a hurry, and he thought that it would not be too late to go after returning from the sea of books.

Originally, the palace also planned to do this, but now it is very boring.

I always have to find something to do, so I simply go to the palace in advance.

Walking out of the gate and entering Meiling, there are many people here, whether it is rivers and lakes or temples, whether it is Tang Kingdom or Huangzhou, there are many people who have come to Meiling to wait quietly.

Tomorrow is the day when the sea of books opens, so naturally you have to come early, and if something happens, you should prepare a lot.

The door of the academy has been closed for nearly ten days and has not been opened, and today's opening naturally attracts everyone's attention.

Li Xiu walked out, and the door closed again, and no one else followed him.

These days, the three rankings have been replaced, and there is a corresponding portrait hanging behind each ranking, and Li Xiu is also among them, so he was recognized almost instantly.

The discussion began to rise.

The Tang people saluted him and said that he had seen His Royal Highness the Prince.

The people of Huangzhou were indifferent, and some even sneered.

These days, they knew that the fundamental reason why the academy dared to act like this was that they had put all their bets on the young man in front of them.

Could it be that they still expect the person in front of them to single-handedly suppress most of their wasteland?

This is undoubtedly a fool's dream.

A black horse ran out of Meiling, and its speed was extremely fast, like a whirlwind, it ran to Li Xiu's side, and then gently rubbed his chest with the horse's head.

"Long time no see!"

Li Xiu stretched out his hand and gently patted the head of the big black horse, said hello, and then turned over and rode up.

"Let's go, go to the palace!"

The big black horse nodded, and ran out along the mountain path with very graceful steps.

"Li Xiu!"

When passing by the deserted people, he suddenly heard a voice full of hatred through gritted teeth, Li Xiu turned his head and looked over and found that it was the two women from the Shangqing Palace who had met in the Taibai Building before.

In the middle of the two there is a more outstanding woman, far superior to them in both figure and temperament.

She saw Li Xiu's glance over.

Then take a step forward.

"You're Li Xiu?"

She is the saintess of Shangqing Palace, Hua Yuyao.

Her eyes stared coldly at Ma Qingyi, her voice was full of a touch of arrogance and alienation, and she didn't put the young man in front of her in her eyes.

In her opinion, only Zifei is the only one who can get his hands on the academy, and the rest are not on the stage.

A prince of the Tang Kingdom who is only a Li Xiu is just a fluke who defeated Zhou Yuan and Ye Xiu, what can he do?

The speed of the big black horse was very fast, and it passed through the middle of the people of the barren state, like a black shadow that was fleeting in front of everyone's eyes.

Hua Yuyao's forward steps stopped, an incredible color flashed in her eyes, and her face turned pale.

Then Li Xiu didn't even look at her!

"What a bullshit world, what a big dog!"

The two followers behind her shouted again.

"Presumptuous, what kind of thing are you, and you dare to talk like this to my Tang Guozi?"

A loud scolding immediately sounded among the Tang people, the voice was loud and blessed with aura, and the surrounding leaves fell downward.

The woman was about to say something, but when she saw Hua Yuyao raise her hand to signal her to stop, she could only snort coldly and turned her face sideways and ignored it.

Hua Yuyao turned her gaze to the gate of the academy, her gaze cold.

Tomorrow is the day when the sea of books opens, and in front of the whole world, the academy naturally can't be tricked, and then she has to take a look, with that man's own strength, how to turn the tide and help the building to fall!

The academy is only ten miles away from Chang'an City, which is just a few steps for the big dark horse.

It took only a few moments to come to Chang'an City.

After dismounting and handing the reins to the guards on one side, Li Xiu walked into the city, without going around in circles or avoiding the sight of those spying eyes.

walked straight towards Chen Liu's palace.

When he came to the door, the people of the palace had been waiting outside the door for a long time, and after seeing him, they opened the middle door wide, stood on both sides and respectfully welcomed into the palace.

"Brother Wang!"

Li Xiu didn't rush to do things, but circled around the palace, he hadn't come back for a long time.

Passing by a small courtyard, I looked into the courtyard and walked in.

Li Xing'er squatted on the ground and didn't know what she was doing, her expression was very focused, and she didn't notice his arrival at all.

It wasn't until Li Xiu coughed lightly that Li Xing'er stood up from the ground, looked back and saw him let out a cry of surprise.

At the same time, he opened his arms and wanted to pounce, but he stopped in front of Li Xiu and lowered his head a little shyly.

Her face was dirty and a little black, her hands were covered with mud, and even her skirt was stained with a lot of dust.

"What are you doing?"

Li Xiu reached out and rubbed her head, and asked with a smile.

Li Xing'er narrowed her eyes and raised her head high to feel very happy.

"I'm digging earthworms to improve the food for my little fish. ”

She bent down and picked up a small bottle from the ground and handed it to Li Xiu, there were several earthworms in the bottle.

"Your fish is better than I eat on weekdays, and how can anyone use earthworms to improve their diet?"

Li Xiu shook his head, feeling that her brain was a little difficult to use.

"It's because the food is so good that I get a few earthworms, which are considered game. ”

Li Xing'er rubbed her nose with her white arm and said with a smile.

Li Xiu looked at the yard, then casually pointed to a place and said, "There are the most earthworms there, dig there." ”

"By the way, what about the princess?"

Li Xiu asked again.

"In the study, Brother Wang, do you have something to talk about with your mother?"

The smile on Li Xing'er's face disappeared a lot, although she was simple, she was not stupid, and naturally knew that the relationship between her mother and brother was definitely not good.

Li Xiu avoided her gaze and whispered: "It's nothing, I just haven't seen you for a long time, I want to have a cup of tea!"

"Really?"

"Of course, I won't lie to anyone, it's just a cup of tea. ”

......

......

(still 2-in-1)
