There are a lot of rules in the palace, Li Xiu walked straight to the outside of the palace when he got out of the curtain forest garden, he has been to the palace more than once, but that was when he was a child after all, many years ago.

I can't remember a lot of places in the palace.

Even Chang'an City is familiar and unfamiliar to him, but he knows that Chang'an City is divided into two counties, bounded by Suzaku Street, Wannian County in the east, and Chang'an County in the west.

Other than that, Li Xiu didn't remember much.

The most memorable thing is not the palace, but the Taibai Building.

Taibai Building has three uniques.

The fish belly is a must, the braised knife is a must, and the Venerable Master is a must.

The Venerable Master is a place of green buildings, or extremely top green buildings, and all the people who come and go here are high-ranking officials, prominent families, and people who are mixed in this place are nothing more than two things.

money, or right.

The Venerable Man is not far from the Taibai Building, only one street apart, but if you look down at Chang'an City from the sky, you will find that in fact, the Taibai Building and the Venerable Man are back to back.

It seems that they are two unrelated streets, but in fact they can easily run towards each other.

Chang'an City is very large, from the palace to Taibai Lou Li Xiu walked for half an hour, Xu Yingxiu naturally didn't need to say much, what is surprising is that Yang Buxing didn't say half a word from beginning to end.

"Three guest officers, I don't know what to eat?"

Entered the building, walked up to the third floor, found a seat at random, sat down, and after a while, a little second brother came over wearing a white scarf and holding a page.

"Three servings of fish belly grilled, two pots of teriyaki knives, a glass of sake, and a plate of blue lobster. ”

Li Xiu stretched out his hand and swiped a few times on the page, the white paper glowed with white light, and wrote down his words.

"Well, Childe, wait a minute. ”

The second brother took the blank paper, glanced at Li Xiu in surprise, and then walked downstairs in response.

The service crowd of Taibai Building is very valuable, so the second brother remembers clearly who has been going over the years, although the son in front of him is good-looking, but his eyes are very good.

You know, the page he was holding was very elegant.

If it weren't for the fact that the old guests didn't know how to use it at all, but this young man in a green shirt was unobstructed to use it, and it could be judged from this that he was a regular customer.

"I'm glad you made a wise choice. ”

Before the wine and food arrived, Li Xiu poured a cup of tea and pushed it to Yang Buding, and said with a smile.

"Whether it's wise or not, it's not clear at the moment. ”

Yang Buxing took the teacup and took a sip, his appearance was indifferent, a strand of black hair on his forehead was windless, and at this moment, he did not have the embarrassed appearance of being forced to sweat by Qi Qin before.

"Then it's not too late to see later. ”

Li Xiu said.

"You owe me a favor. ”

Yang Wuxing looked at Li Xiu's face and spoke.

"I never owe anyone a favor. ”

"I'll help you kill Concubine Yang. ”

Yang Buxing emphasized.

"You're saving yourself. ”

Li Xiu also looked at him and said seriously.

Xu Yingxiu slapped the table impatiently, and Yang Wuxing fell silent.

......

Chenliu Wangfu used to be very lively, every day there were different people to visit, since Li Xiu returned to Beijing, those swaying wall grass can not figure out the direction of the wind, so the door of the palace is deserted for many days.

Until today, it has become lively again, because Taiwei Qi Qin is here.

The second lady Qi Liu is his daughter, and it is normal for a father to visit his daughter, so naturally no one will ask questions.

Li Xing'er is practicing in the academy, and it is estimated that she will not come back before the end of the year, Li Anzhi is in charge of the Chang'an city defense, and is in charge of the surrounding hundreds of miles of safety.

Every day, he works outside the home and rarely comes back.

Today's head of the palace is only the second lady Qi Liu.

"Father. ”

In the study room of the palace, Qi Qin sat on a chair and looked down at the books in front of him, and when he heard Qi Liu's call, he slowly closed the books and raised his head to reveal a warm smile.

"Liu'er. ”

"What is Father looking at?"

Qi Liu put a cup of tea in front of Tai Wei and asked softly.

"It's nothing, what do you think of Li Xiu?"

Qi Qin put the book in his hand in a corner and asked with a smile.

Qi Liu glanced at it with his eyes and found that it was a chess game that had been widely circulated recently, and according to legend, Chen Zhimo and Li Xiu were playing in front of the academy.

She knew that she was not as calm as she seemed, a person who could beat Chen Zhimo in chess and dared to kill Concubine Yang in Mulin Garden.

They cannot be taken lightly.

And the most important thing is His Majesty's attitude.

Although His Majesty has been in a careless attitude all these years, no one dares to really ignore that Concubine Yang's status is very high, but she died too peacefully.

Didn't make the slightest wave.

It doesn't make sense.

But everyone understands in their hearts that what doesn't make sense is His Majesty's reason.

"Li Xiu is a smart man, his city is very deep, and he doesn't do things that he is not sure of. ”

Qi Liu thought about it and gave a more pertinent evaluation.

"But he's also an adventurous person. ”

Qi Qin stretched out his hand and patted the chess game, and said.

Indeed, whether it is playing against Chen Zhimo, or using the Book of Heavens to lead the Heavenly Gate to break the Three Tribulations, or killing Concubine Yang in the palace.

Behind the seemingly steady is actually full of thrills.

Because no one dares to say that he is victorious against Chen Zhimo, and no one dares to say that he can break through the heavens.

No one dared to say that His Majesty would not meddle in the Curtain Forest Garden.

Li Xiu has been gambling, but he won.

"A lot of people are adventurous, just like killers like they like to hide in the dark. ”

Qi Qin couldn't help but open the book again, looking at the chess game, his eyes full of amazement.

"But since it's an adventure, there will always be times when you fail, just like a killer will one day stand in the sun. ”

"And the price is death. ”

Qi Qin's voice was old and weak, as if he was sick in bed and dying, but it sounded like a kind of confidence.

"What is Father going to do?"

Qi Liu sat down beside him and asked suspiciously.

The lieutenant did not look at him, but looked through the window into the palace.

"We don't need to do anything, the most important thing now is what Your Majesty is going to do. ”

The smile on Qi Qin's face gradually converged, since Li Laizhi's death, His Majesty has changed.

No longer bright, no longer ambitious, no one can guess what he is thinking.

Maybe whoever sits in that chair will change!

"Why did my father watch Concubine Yang die?"

Qi Liu hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask this question.

"No one wants Li Laizhi to die, many people originally planned to stop Li Laizhi, but because of the stupidity of Concubine Yang and that person, the Tang Dynasty border army was weakened. ”

Speaking of this issue, Qi Qin was silent for a long time before he opened his mouth to explain.

Qi Liu's face turned pale, and she suddenly found that she couldn't figure out what her father was thinking.

Qi Qin glanced at her and sighed: "Liu'er, why can't you use your brains more when you do things? Li Xiu returned to Beijing with the general trend, and the momentum was unstoppable. ”

This is naturally what happened at that feast.

Qi Liu opened his mouth to explain something.

saw Qi Qin wave his hand and continued: "I don't mean to blame you, but you have to remember that you either don't do one thing, and once you do it, you have to do it absolutely and ruthlessly." ”

"And if there is no trace, stupid things like the one before are enough for once, and not again. ”

This stupid thing naturally refers to the assassination of Li Xiu by assassins.

The old lieutenant's voice was a little weak, and he stood up, hammered the back of the waist with his hand, and walked out with the chess game.

Qi Liu sent it to the door, and then lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking.
