Chapter 9 There is no time to turn back

Xu Yingxiu is very talented, she learns everything quickly, but she can't cook.

Especially in places like Xuelou, no one will teach her to cook, and she has only learned green peppers, fish and potatoes for more than 20 years, and she forced herself to learn it in order to make up for Li Xiu's body.

She couldn't even figure out the proportions of the spices, which were either too salty or too sweet.

For example, the plate of black things in front of me at this moment, the green peppers have become charcoal, the fish is fried hard, but the potatoes are not yet ripe.

Li Xing'er took a small bite, then hurriedly pulled a few large mouthfuls of rice, swallowed it and secretly stuck out her tongue at Li Xiu.

There were footsteps outside the door, and it was the guards and servants of the palace cleaning up the mess outside.

Li Xiu turned a blind eye to those movements, and just let the monks infiltrate the palace of the dignified Chen Liuwang, and even a dozen dead soldiers who went to the third level could secretly ambush aside, and if it was passed out, it might be regarded as a fantasy by many people.

The fact that the people who killed him are here proves that someone wants them to be here.

Li Xiu glanced at the apricot with a crumpled face, and then took a piece of fish meat and put it in his mouth.

After a few chews, he swallowed it.

Xu Yingxiu held her chin with two hands on the side, and couldn't help but laugh happily when she saw that Li Xiu's expression had not changed, although her dish looked ugly, it still tasted good in your mouth when you wanted to eat it.

Lao Qiao was holding a tea bowl and drinking tea, obviously not eating a mouthful of food, but threatening to walk the food.

Xing'er ate the rice in small bites, and when she choked, she drank a sip of water, and her mouth was very aggrieved.

Only Li Xiu ate the vegetables one bite after another, until all the plates of green pepper, fish and potatoes disappeared.

"The craft has regressed a bit. ”

Li Xiu wiped his mouth and said.

"I haven't done it for you for a few months, of course it's going to regress. ”

Xu Yingxiu muttered a few sentences dissatisfied, then put away the dishes and chopsticks on the table and brushed them aside.

"Young Master, what are you going to do?"

Old Joe asked out loud.

Li Xiu was silent for a long time, and no one spoke during this period, even Xu Yingxiu's voice was much quieter when he was washing the dishes.

Being assassinated in the palace, this kind of thing can't just be settled.

"It's stupid to assassinate this kind of thing, there are not many such stupid people in Chang'an City, and even fewer have the ability to send Youye monks. ”

Li Xiu looked at the bright sunlight outside the window, the half-inch of snow falling on the leaves, and said, "That woman has been in the palace for so many years, and she hasn't grown at all. ”

"Why are you sure it's Concubine Yang?"

Old Joe put down the teacup, a little curious.

"It's her birthday in a few days, and as the only concubine around the Emperor Taishang who has survived to the present, I don't think she wants to see Li Laizhi's son on his birthday. ”

"She could have lived a few more years. ”

Li Xiu said lightly.

"It would be troublesome to kill her. ”

Old Joe said.

Li Xing'er sat on the side, looking at the two of them with big eyes without blinking, she was stunned, these two people were actually discussing whether to kill Concubine Yang.

It's not that you can't kill it, but it's because you're worried that you'll be in trouble after you kill it.

"I'm full. ”

Li Xing'er put the bowl down, then quickly pushed open the door and trotted out of here.

Old Joe looked outside the door and asked, "Do you want to kill it?"

Li Xiu glanced at him.

"A lot of the time you don't have to do it yourself. ”

He leaned back in his chair, his eyes closed.

"What are you thinking?"

Old Joe couldn't help but ask out loud.

"It must be interesting to have a person's birthday on the same day as the festival. ”

Li Xiu suddenly laughed, there were many people who participated in the killing of Li Laizhi back then.

He came back this time to take revenge one by one, and Concubine Yang was undoubtedly a very important part of it.

"So what are you going to do now?"

The smile on Li Xiu's face suddenly disappeared, he was silent for a moment, and then said very seriously: "Now, I want to live." ”

"Are you going to go to the academy early?"

Old Joe asked.

Li Xiu nodded, then got up and walked towards the outside of the palace.

"Wait for me. ”

Xu Yingxiu trotted out and chased after her, but she planned to follow His Royal Highness the Prince of the World without leaving an inch.

"You're going to see someone and help me with a word. ”

Li Xiu said to her.

......

"Young master, you have never missed an appointment. ”

Out of Chang'an City, Li Xiu walked on the road, and Lao Qiao asked casually behind him.

"It's nothing to make the occasional exception. ”

Li Xiu didn't seem to care, just shook his head.

Old Joe was silent and said no more.

Li Xiu has never broken his trust, and now there are still six days before the appointed day, but he came early.

This proved that he did not live for more than six days.

It was suddenly dark, and it was a great day that shouldn't have been.

So Li Xiu looked up at the sky.

A huge phoenix bird with a fiery red body flew from afar, the phoenix bird legend has the blood of the phoenix, and is naturally intelligent and able to speak, noble status, this kind of bird has only one place in the world.

Gusu City!

Gusu City is a force outside the Tang Dynasty, although it claims to be a city, but in the final analysis, it is actually a family.

There are six or seven people standing on the back of the phoenix bird, and they can travel on the phoenix bird, so there must be people from the Murong family among them.

This bird is very beautiful, its wings are flying like flames burning in the air, and hundreds of people in Chang'an City are stopping to watch.

The bird is also very large, blocking half of the sun.

But the bird flies slowly, not like it's on the road, it's more like it's a demonstration or a show-off.

There was a hint of impatience in Li Xiu's eyes, so he shouted directly: "Can you let your bird fly faster, it is blocking my sunlight." ”

Li Xiu was shouting, but he didn't shout, but he knew that the people above must be able to hear it.

The few people on the back of the bird laughed to themselves, but they didn't react at all.

The bird flew even slower, it lowered its head and glanced at Li Xiu, with a very humane ridicule and contempt in its eyes, and gradually it spread its wings, and the sunlight that was still half left disappeared by nearly half.

The impatience in Li Xiu's eyes turned into violence at this moment.

It was not known whether he would be able to survive the three tribulations when he went to the academy, so he spent every second as if it were the last second.

That's why he ate the disgusting plate of green pepper fish and potatoes cleanly.

He lowered his head, the violence in his eyes raging like a monstrous sky.

Old Joe looked up at the wings that covered the sky, raised one hand high, and then fell suddenly.

The space rippled, spreading upwards as if it had been cut by a sharp blade.

The feathers on the phoenix's body suddenly tightened, and the instinct of the spirit beast strongly stimulated it.

"Not good. ”

A middle-aged man's closed eyes on his back opened suddenly, and then a dodge appeared under the phoenix bird, and his hands were pushed down in palms.

At the same time, the phoenix bird also began to accelerate.

But it was too late.

The sharpness that spread in the air pierced the middle-aged man's defenses almost without stopping, and then slashed through the phoenix bird's body, splitting it in two.

Not even a single wail could be uttered.

The middle-aged man vomited blood and flew out, the phoenix bird's body fell from the sky, and the remaining four people on his back fell with him.

I saw one of them rise up in the air, and then caught the other three, and slowly fell to the ground.

Coincidentally, it fell in front of Li Xiu.

He took a few steps forward, the violence in his eyes subsided a lot, and said lightly: "Since you can't fly fast, just don't fly." ”
