The sun sets, rises, sets, and rises again.

I don't know how many times he repeated this, Li Xiu just sat quietly on the edge of the cliff, his two hands tightly holding the long sword at his waist, his illness had long been cured, the three tribulations had passed, but his face was paler than before.

What you gain in life is what you lose.

He was given a second chance, but he lost someone more important.

The teapot on the table had already bottomed out, and I don't know when Xu Yingxiu came here, sat down beside him, and his two feet hung in the sea of clouds, swinging one after another.

She didn't open her mouth because she knew Li Xiu.

What the young man in front of him needs is not comfort, he is the smartest person in the world, and he can figure out everything.

The sun has risen several times, and the days have to go on, but what is different from the past is that Li Xiu's words have become even less.

"What is the young master going to do?"

Seeing Li Xiu get up, Xu Yingxiu asked.

"I want to find a quiet place for a while, and I have been very tired for more than ten years. ”

Li Xiu paused for a moment and repeated, "I'm tired. ”

"Where are you going?"

"Academy. ”

Xu Yingxiu is different from Lao Qiao, if it is Lao Qiao at this moment, he will definitely follow Li Xiu silently, without asking anything, what the young master says is what it is.

And Xu Yingxiu will ask: "What about Concubine Yang?"

Li Xiu asked her to find someone, everything was ready, if Li Xiu said to give up at this time, it would be very boring.

"There are many ways to kill people, and sometimes it's okay to be not there. ”

Xu Yingxiu lowered her head and thought about it, and then opened her mouth to ask again.

Li Xiu frowned.

Xu Yingxiu closed her mouth and followed quietly.

"Can you cook?"

Li Xiu suddenly spoke.

"Are you hungry?"

Xu Yingxiu asked, but immediately nodded affirmatively, the young master is still an ordinary person, and he is naturally hungry if he hasn't eaten for so many days.

Who knew that Li Xiu shook his head.

"I just wanted to eat all of a sudden. ”

Xu Yingxiu knew what he meant, and her eyes were sad.

"What to eat?"

"Green pepper fish potatoes. ”

Li Xiu said.

......

The two of them walked back to Chang'an City, found a room where no one lived, Li Xiu ate two bowls of rice, ate a large plate of green pepper, fish and potatoes, and then wiped his mouth, passed by Taibai Building and asked for a pot of braised knives, drank half a pot, and sprinkled half a pot.

Then he walked around the city, passing by the Yunlai Teahouse in the middle and went in to drink a pot of Biluochun, the original little second brother has become the shopkeeper, and he looks magnificent.

Seeing Li Xiu, he kept trembling and lowering his head, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief until the two of them left, and then he realized that the clothes on his body were actually wet.

Along the way, I heard that the people of Chang'an were talking about the enrollment of the academy, and who was shining in this enrollment.

For example, Qi Yuanbin from Taiwei's family, and Chen Sining from the poor family.

There is also Li Yinan, the heir of Tiance, and the black-clothed young man from the North, Liang Xiaodao.

From these discussions, he learned that four days had passed since the academy enrolled.

That is to say, he sat on the cliff for five days, not only did he not feel hungry, but he could not even feel tired.

Of course, this is not a problem with his body, it can only be said that the immortal qi is too strong.

The benefits are too great.

In this way, the day after tomorrow is Concubine Yang's birthday.

The academy is in Meiling, and Meiling is ten miles south of Chang'an City.

So Li Xiu walked around the city for a long time, returned to the palace, took out the big black horse, and rode on the horse towards the south of the city.

Xu Yingxiu was naturally riding another horse.

Li Xiu's previous health was very poor, and he could only run three or four miles on a horse under the care of Lao Qiao and others.

Before it started, it stopped.

It's not always pleasant.

The big dark horse is very stable, and the speed is also the top at that time, and few horses can compare.

It was a quick thing, but now it feels normal.

In front of the academy, under Meiling.

The thousands of people who had gathered had long since dispersed, and the gate of the academy was still tightly closed, and it was not forbidden to leave here, but it was rare for disciples to go down the mountain on weekdays.

It's a beautiful place, and there's everything but the Venerable Master's earth.

Li Xiu walked to the door, stretched out his hand and knocked three times.

As before, the voice was still very loud, spreading throughout the academy and resounding throughout Meiling.

The door opened.

showed a face, not Zhong Liang, his eyes were very raw, he had never seen it.

"His Royal Highness?"

The man opened the door with a suspicious face, and then saw Li Xiu, and his expression instantly turned into a touch of surprise.

"I want to see someone. ”

"Your Highness, please. ”

The academy disciple bowed and said.

Since Li Xiu's victory over Chen Zhimo in chess that day, most of the disciples of the academy have respected him very much.

Especially in addition to the fact that Lao Qiao's sword broke through the Heavenly Gate a few days ago, the disciples of the academy respected him more.

"Mr. Chen has been waiting here for a long time. ”

The disciple said to Li Xiu.

Li Xiu nodded lightly, and then walked in.

Looking at the backs of the two, the disciple opened his mouth, and wanted to say two words of sorrow, but he felt tacky and redundant.

He swallowed it in his stomach and turned back to the door.

......

This is a small courtyard, very simple, but there is a clear pond in the courtyard.

It's not too deep, about three or two feet, and there are a few black and white fish in the pond, which is not too much, and it is eye-catching enough.

Mr. Chen squatted on the edge of the pond in plain clothes, pinching a little fish food in his fingertips and sprinkling it in the water, and the fish would wag their tails and swallow the food.

"Mr. Chen. ”

Li Xiu walked up to him and stood, staring at the black and white fish in the pool.

"But why don't you blame me for helping?"

Mr. Chen clapped his hands, dusted off the dust, and asked with a smile.

"I remember when you and I met for the first time in Mohui Valley four years ago, you said at that time that all kinds of people in the world always have their own reasons for doing all kinds of things, and you broke the three tribulations and broke the shackles of the Mandate of Heaven in order to avenge your father and more than 200,000 border soldiers. ”

"That's your reason. ”

"Old Qiao sacrificed his life to wish you a catastrophe, because in his eyes, this is a very worthwhile thing. ”

Li Xiu listened to these words and said slowly, "Then what is your reason?"

Mr. Chan reached out and placed it on the water, and a fish showed its head and held his fingers.

He shook his head: "Don't say, don't say." ”

"Can I think you're jealous?"

Li Xiu said directly.

Mr. Chen didn't refute either, still smiling: "Or you can say I'm scared." ”

"There are not many things to be afraid of for people who are not even afraid of death. ”

Li Xiu said.

"Not much, but still. ”

Xu Yingxiu didn't interject from beginning to end, she couldn't listen to these discussions the most, it was like playing a dumb riddle.

His brows furrowed, and he interrupted impatiently: "What are you afraid of even if you are not afraid of death? ”

Mr. Chen was not angry, he and Xu Yingxiu knew each other, and they lived and died together in Mohui Valley back then.

So he stood up and walked towards the house, saying as he went, "Miss Xu, are you afraid of death?"

Xu Yingxiu sneered and straightened her chest proudly: "I'm not afraid." ”

The corners of Mr. Chen's mouth raised: "Then are you afraid of Li Xiu's death?"

The smile on Xu Yingxiu's face stiffened suddenly, her face turned pale, she clenched her teeth tightly, and didn't say a word.

Mr. Chen pushed open the door and turned sideways: "You see, everyone has something to be afraid of, doesn't it?"
