It was the morning of the second day when Li Xiuyuan was deployed in the capital.

He was handling official business in the yamen when he suddenly received a report from the official that it was a sudden visit from the envoy in the palace.

"Imperial envoy?"

Li Xiuyuan raised his head in some surprise when he heard the news.

is so dignified, the court actually gave an edict to itself.

Under the sharp turn of thoughts, the envoy who announced the decree had already walked in, Li Xiuyuan frowned, and immediately greeted him with other civil officials and officials in the yamen.

The envoy of the decree said with an iron-faced and selfless look: "Let Li Xiuyuan, the assassin of Yangzhou, enter the palace immediately to see the driver, and there must be no mistake." ”

"Minister, Li Xiuyuan took the order. Li Xiuyuan took the holy decree and was about to ask the envoy why he entered the palace, but the envoy immediately urged.

"Master Li, please. ”

Li Xiuyuan said: "There are some matters that still need to be dealt with in the yamen, and let me prepare for half an hour." ”

The envoy said: "The summons is an urgent matter, Lord Li should follow me into the palace first to resume my life, and it is not too late to put aside the affairs in the yamen for the time being and wait for him to come back and deal with it." ”

"Then let me change my clothes. Li Xiu said from afar.

"Please hurry up, Lord Li. The envoy said.

"Wait a minute. Li Xiuyuan took the holy decree and turned to leave, he came to the government office and summoned Qiu Rong.

"Rong'er, bring the court clothes for me, I want to go to the imperial city. ”

"Yes, husband. Qiu Rong hurriedly walked out of the house when she heard the voice, she gave a salute and turned back to get his court clothes.

"I have no reason to order Li Gongzi to summon you to the palace, I'm afraid it's not a good thing, maybe you should use your illness to get rid of it, after all, there is a crisis in the palace now, and it is very unfavorable to you Li Gongzi. "I don't know when, Hu Lanyu came out of somewhere.

Li Xiuyuan said: "If you don't go, it's to resist the order, this is to give the enemy a handle, and it's not a good thing, how did the second brother investigate the Cihang Hall yesterday?"

"It's weird. Hu Lanyu said.

"How weird?" asked Li Xiuyuan.

Hu Lanyu said: "The Buddha's light is shining, the Sanskrit sound is swirling, just like the appearance of the holy land of Buddhism, the ghosts and gods do not enter, the demon and evil are easy to dispel, the eighteen zhang Rulai golden body is even more majestic and dignified, inviolable, the golden body of the national teacher has become, if it is to accumulate the people's incense and fire power, the fake Buddha can also come true."

Buddha, the joy of Taoism and practice must be better than that of the gods in heaven. ”

"I don't dare to get too deep, but I feel that if I am discovered, I will definitely be killed, and the Millennium Dao Xing is not its opponent. ”

"Is it? That really made this national teacher a climate, but unfortunately he found it a little late, otherwise he should have destroyed it while his golden body was not completed. Li Xiu said from afar.

"So Gongzi Li, you can't go to the Imperial City, especially if you go alone. Hu Lanyu said.

Li Xiuyuan said: "What should come is always coming, and disrespecting the decree is also a big crime, so you can't be deterred from the palace because of inexplicable speculation." ”

Hu Lanyu said: "That requires some preparation, such as bringing the third sister, she can help a little." ”

"No need, you can't cast spells in the palace, and it's more dangerous for the third sister to go, so I'll just go alone." Li Xiuyuan said, "The current national teacher in the palace is not fully controlled, so don't worry too much. ”

"It's better than you risking your life alone, third sister, don't come out of the house yet, and accompany Li Gongzi to the capital. Hu Lanyu shouted.

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of Li Xiuyuan's bedroom creaked open.

A charming fox woman in a red dress leaned on the door and smiled: "The second brother still knows the little sister's thoughts, and the little sister has thanked me first." ”

"Third sister, why did you come out of my house?" Li Xiuyuan said with a dark face.

"The slave family slept on the beam of the house yesterday, doesn't the son know?" The third sister of the fox sneered: "Don't worry, you and Sister Qiurong's affection and love for the slave family didn't see anything yesterday." ”

"......" the corners of Li Xiuyuan's mouth twitched.

This is the so-called day and night defense, and it is difficult to prevent house thieves.

"Husband, I've got the court clothes. At this time, Qiu Rong also walked out of the room on the side, and her eyes widened when she saw the third sister of the fox, and she looked very surprised.

The third fox sister giggled, "Sister Qiurong, don't be afraid, I'm the fox girl next to your husband, I came yesterday, but I didn't show it." ”

After speaking, he looked at the silver lock hanging around Qiu Rong's neck, and knew that this woman had also entered the door of the Li family.

"Ignore her, change my clothes. Li Xiuyuan walked back to the house and said.

Soon, he changed his clothes and went out, and when he left the yamen, he turned on his horse and followed the envoy into the imperial city to resume his life.

However, on the horse, a red fox didn't know where to run, standing on the horse's head, squinting a pair of bright eyes at Li Xiuyuan who was riding through the city.

"What, the slave family is angry? It's a big deal that the slave family won't peek at you in the future, don't be angry. The third sister of the fox whispered, seeing Li Xiuyuan's frowning, she showed a pleading tone of admitting her mistake.

"Now I'm still in the mood to be angry with the third sister? The golden body of the national teacher has been cast, the Wutong Sect has also begun to unite, and most of the civil and military officials above the court are under the control of the national teacher

Deal with me. Li Xiu said from afar.

"You know that I have even put on armor under this court robe, even the Tai'a sword is tied around my waist, and even the dragon horse is ready in the ghost king's cloth bag, and I am thinking about whether to resist the decree and not go to the palace. ”

"So dangerous, don't go, let's go back to Yangzhou, I heard my little sister say that your father built a mansion for you in Guobei County, three archways have been erected, and two gardens have been repaired, I was cheeky that day to ask my little sister for a room, and the slave family will live there in the future, you are not allowed to drive the slave family

Let's go. ”

The third sister of the fox said.

"If you don't go, will you be safe and sound? Abandon the official and flee, disrespect the decree, the crime is also not small, maybe this will make the enemy satisfied, and now it is too early to return to the hometown to retire, then the house will be empty for the time being." Li Xiu said from afar.

When the third sister fox heard this, she said: "The slave family doesn't know so many twists and turns, but the slave family will accompany you wherever you go." ”

"Thank you, Third Sister. Li Xiuyuan was silent for a moment and then said.

"Giggles. ”

The third sister of the fox smiled, and suddenly ran down from the horse's head, and suddenly got into Li Xiuyuan's sleeve and quickly hidden, she knew that this enemy was not really angry with herself, and now she can rest assured.

At this moment, the palace has arrived.

"Huh?"

Li Xiuyuan's expression moved, as if he had noticed something, and grabbed a corner of the imperial city casually.

"Whoa. ”

There was a sound of breaking water, and a centipede with the thickness of an arm exploded from the moat, and before it landed, he opened his mouth and spit out, refining qi into a sword, and a white light flashed, and instantly cut the centipede into two sections and nailed it to the foot of the imperial city.

"If you want to deal with me, let that national teacher personally go out, you little centipedes have been doing their way for hundreds of years to send them to death. Li Xiuyuan's eyes flashed with golden light, and he said slowly.

"Good kill. A fox's head poked out of his sleeve and said with joy.

"Master Li, what did you just say?" said the envoy in front of him.

Li Xiuyuan pressed her head back: "It's nothing, it's just a casual sigh." ”

"Please also ask Master Li to dismount and follow me into the palace. The envoy said again.

Li Xiuyuan nodded.

Under the guidance of the envoy, he did not go to the Zichen Palace, where the officials were received, nor did he go to the Wende Palace, where the emperor usually handles government affairs, but walked in the direction of the harem.

And the road was unimpeded, there were no forbidden army patrols, and there were no forbidden army guards.

"Envoy, further down is the harem land, and the official family should not receive the minister in the harem. Li Xiu said from afar.

"I am also acting according to orders, and I also ask Lord Li to be calm and not impatient. The envoy said.

Li Xiuyuan frowned and didn't say anything.

The envoy took him to a garden outside the palace at the harem, and then took his leave.

Li Xiuyuan was about to ask, but at this time, a woman's voice in the garden sounded: "Let Lord Li misunderstand, in fact, it was not the official family who summoned Lord Li today, but I asked Lord Li to enter the palace." ”

A dignified and beautiful woman dressed in palace clothes walked over with a smile on her face, followed by several palace maids and eunuchs.

"Hu Meiren?"

Seeing this, Li Xiu's eyes suddenly froze.
