It was only a short journey from Meridian Valley to Gusu City, and no one came out to kill people after leaving the noon mouth, and the road was very peaceful.

And the news about Li Xiu also spread throughout the Tang Dynasty along the way.

Countless people rejoiced and were shocked.

Li Xiu didn't die, Changlin and Yin Cao would definitely not give up, especially this time when so many people died, four of the Five Realms Grandmasters alone died, almost no less than the consequences of the battle of Xiaonanqiao.

So Li Xiu must die, but what is strange is that nothing happened during this period.

Changlin is too busy to take care of himself, and the Yin Cao whip is beyond his reach.

As Pei Ziyun descended the mountain, Wudang Mountain's attitude became elusive.

As well as listening to Xuelou's wolf-like counterattack, the turbulent rivers and lakes in recent days seem to have calmed down.

After Chen Zhimo learned the news, he happily played a game of chess, and at the same time, he also had two more respects for the people in Shangru Inn.

In contrast, Cui Yasi's reaction was more enthusiastic.

The so-called looking up to the sky and laughing out of the house describes what he looked like when he got the news.

Li Wenxuan still never returned to Kyoto, and is still living in the Jincheng Taishou Mansion, in Cui Yasi's words, Li Xiu did not come back alive from Gusu City, and His Royal Highness King Wu could not return to Kyoto.

It's still the old routine, and I want to use this to make the queen and the princess throw a trap and warn them not to meddle in the affairs of Gusu City.

But the means never care about the old and the new, as long as they are used.

And that's useful.

Of course, the external tone is that His Royal Highness King Wu rarely comes to Jincheng, and he Cui Yasi has prepared a lot of official documents from all over Jincheng to invite His Royal Highness to deal with them and discuss them together.

After all, a few days is a short time, no matter how the wind and clouds hang in the sky, no matter how they swell and change, they will not be able to run for a few miles after all.

Even if there is great anger and murderous intention, at best, it can only spew out an inch or two of snort.

That's useless.

And Li Xiu is only half a day's journey from Gusu City at the moment.

Half a day is a long time, enough for you to have a meal, watch a play, listen to a book, and if you are in the mood, you can proclaim prostitution during the day.

But for Li Xiu and Xu Yingxiu, half a day is just a few times of the horse's hooves flying and countless rolls of the wheels.

If you don't count Gusu City, Jincheng is been

It is called the first city in the Tang Dynasty, but in fact, Jincheng is much more prosperous and larger than Gusu City.

It is only because Gusu City is the city of the Murong family that it will have the reputation of the first city.

The carriage stopped a few miles in front of the city gate, Li Xiu walked out of the carriage, the city gate of Gusu City is not majestic, but it is very simple, with deep and shallow sword marks on it, each sword mark is the first sword cut by the children of the Murong family when they just set foot in the initial realm.

The deepest one was cut out by the old sword god, followed by Murong.

There was no one at the gate of the city, and the news that Li Xiu had walked through the Meridian Valley should have reached Gusu City a long time ago, but there was no one at the gate of the city at this moment.

His brow furrowed.

Autumn is approaching January, and the weather is getting colder and colder.

took out a cloak from the ring and draped it on Xu Yingxiu's body, and the two of them walked to the gate of the city and then stopped.

"What are you looking at?"

Xu Yingxiu tightened the fur cloak on her body, and looked at Li Xiu's line of sight, the quaint city wall was stacked with gray bricks, and there were many sword marks hanging on it, although it was novel, it was not good-looking.

"I'm waiting for someone. ”

With one hand behind his waist, Li Xiu stood at the gate of the city and looked up at the sword marks of different shades.

At the gate of the city stood the guards of the Murong family, looking at them from time to time, looking very worried, and the people who came and went to the rivers and lakes turned back one step at a time.

Li Xiu walked through the Meridian Valley and came to Gusu City, and everyone knew what he was going to do and what he was going to do.

This is a very critical juncture.

"Murong?"

Xu Yingxiu then asked.

Li Xiu didn't speak, just stood quietly.

Xu Yingxiu also stopped talking, the situation in Gusu City is very important, and Li Xiu's attitude is even more important, which everyone knows.

At this time, Murong should have been guarding the city gate early, and Li Xiu frowned not because he was angry, but because he felt puzzled.

Even if Murong is not there, Murong Tiancheng should be there.

After standing in front of the city gate for a stick of incense, and counting the two hundred and seventeen sword marks on the city gate, a voice finally sounded in the city.

A series of footsteps sounded, not neat, but sounded a little flustered.

After a while, six or seven people walked out of the city, then stood in front of Li Xiu, and gently arched their hands.

"Murong Qiu has seen His Royal Highness the Prince of the World. ”

The person at the head was wearing a robe unique to the Murong family, and looked at him with a smile on his face.

As soon as the words fell, before Li Xiu could speak, another person walked out of the city gate, and compared with the battle in front of him, the man who was alone seemed very shabby and lonely, and he didn't come forward, just stood quietly in the distance, motionless.

"Which sword mark is yours?"

Li Xiu didn't bow his head, and he didn't even glance at those people.

Murong Qiu raised his hand and pointed to a light white sword mark in the lower right corner, and said with some shame: "That sword was cut by me, and I was pulled here when I first entered the initial realm, and my mind was not only crooked, but also I didn't use my strength. ”

Li Xiu glanced at it and nodded without hesitation: "It's really not good." ”

Murong Qiu shook his head with a wry smile when he heard this: "Your Highness, don't make fun of you, it's getting late, it's better to go into the city early to rest, the head of the family is still waiting to see you." ”

"Are you Murong Yingjie's person?"

Those sword marks, no matter how deep or shallow, are just ordinary sword marks, and there is no Dao rhyme left by powerful monks on them, so they are very ordinary if you see too much.

Li Xiu retracted his gaze and then landed on the man's face and asked.

His voice was flat, his face was calm, and it was impossible to tell what was going on in his heart.

"Qiu Nai is the son and nephew of the head of the family, so he naturally respects the head of the family, and besides, who is not the head of the family in the entire Gusu City?"

Murong Qiu replied with a smile.

This is very meaningful, and while answering the question, he also cleverly reminded Li Xiu who is the real master of Gusu City, and increased his right to speak, if the two armies are fighting, Murong Qiu will definitely be a good lobbyist.

Li Xiu glanced at him more.

After a moment of silence, he gestured to the lonely-looking man standing not far behind them.

asked, "Then is he also Murong Yingjie's person?"

Murong Qiu turned his head and glanced at it, his eyes narrowed slightly, and then nodded: "He is a member of the Murong family, and naturally he is also the head of the family." ”

Li Xiu also nodded when he heard this, then looked at the lonely person and asked with some curiosity: "Nie Yuan, what do you think?"

The man not far away looked up at Li Xiu and said respectfully: "I am from the Murong family, but not from Murong Yingjie." ”
