Chapter 989: The Old Man (1st Update)

After the two left, only Chu Li and Xiao Qi were left in the small courtyard. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Xiao Qi glanced at him faintly.

Chu Li smiled: "Miss let's go too, I can do it alone." ”

"If someone makes a move, what are you going to do? You can't just run!" Xiao Qi said.

Chu Li nodded: "That's the same, then there's Miss Lao." ”

"I'm going to buy two houses tomorrow. Xiao Qi said: "Each one is to live in one." ”

Chu Li looked at her helplessly.

Xiao Qi said: "The male and female defense still has to be guarded, and you can't live in one room." ”

"Alas......" Chu Li shook his head: "Miss, your Taishang Sword Sutra is enough, right?"

It seems that Xiao Qi has seen through his intentions, the building near the water has the moon first, and the two of them live alone in this small city.

"Yes. Xiao Qi said: "I want to close it once in the near future." ”

Chu Li said: "It's okay." ”

One house was used as a retreat, and the other was used for ordinary purposes, he secretly planned to do so.

Xiao Qi went to Yahang in the city with him, and found two houses connected together, which were two old houses located by the river at the east end of the city, with moss on the stone steps and grass growing between the bluestones in the courtyard.

Chu Li and Xiao Qi are very satisfied with this.

As soon as you go out, there is a clear river, you can wash clothes by the river, you can sail on the river, the weeping willows by the river are graceful, moving lightly with the wind, such as fog and smoke.

At the back of the house was a shop, which they bought along with the shop.

The shop used to sell grain, but now it is closed.

The shop is located on the side of the main street, facing the bustling street.

Although this small city is far from the prosperity of Shendu City, it is not inferior to Qingyun City, and even better than Qingyun City, after all, most of the people who can be assigned to this side are powerful people, and they are all rich and spending, so they can attract skilled craftsmen from all over the world to come here, and there are many strange people in the small city.

Chu Li is not ready to open a shop, he is not short of money, he doesn't want to be distracted by these mundane things, money will cause trouble, he has never been able to make money without care, there will always be all kinds of things to deal with.

He planned to study the White Tiger Divine Skill carefully.

In the evening, as the sun set, the two left the newly bought house and were going to have dinner.

The two sat at a table in the window, chatting and eating.

"Can he take a break?" Xiao Qi took a sip of wine.

She had already taken off the white veil, revealing a pure and beautiful face, which attracted the prying eyes of the surroundings.

Xiao Qi didn't care, just frowned and stared at Chu Li: "Forcing him to admit defeat, there is a hidden danger after all, I'm afraid that he will plot at a critical time!"

"It's not ready yet. Chu Li smiled: "Slow down first, slowly clean him up, this kind of guy doesn't crush him to death, sooner or later he will jump out and jump." ”

"It's good that you understand. Xiao Qi was finally completely relieved.

She was afraid that Chu Li didn't care about Chang Gui, wouldn't it be that these villains would often do bad things, especially when Chu Li was at such a critical time, if Chang Gui risked offending him, the consequences would be unpredictable.

Chu Li was suddenly stunned, and raised his voice: "Commander Xu!"

The middle-aged man who was slowly going upstairs looked up and saw Chu Li, showing a smile, it was Xu Huande.

He was dressed in a gray-brown gown, and he looked like a dejected person.

Chu Li got up and hugged his fists, Xu Huande came to the front and sighed: "I didn't expect that we would become difficult brothers, and you are here too!"

"Come and accompany Commander Xu. Chu Li said with a smile.

Xiao Qi just lightly chucked his head and didn't say much.

Xu Huande said: "Why were you assigned here?"

Chu Li glanced around and said with a smile: "I told King Ping who was the mastermind." ”

Xu Huande's face changed, and he shook his head after a moment: "Why is this so hard, ask for your own hardship!"

"No way, I can't change my temper. Chu Li said: "Commander Xu should be able to be reinstated, right?"

"Difficult. Xu Huande shook his head: "The seat has been occupied, he is in a good position, the emperor will believe in him more, and he will not immediately erase his position as deputy commander, me, in the eyes of the emperor, it doesn't matter if I stay for a few more years." ”

"Alas......" Chu Li shook his head: "Then how could Commander Xu get injured?"

He saw at a glance that Xu Huande was seriously injured, but he barely pretended to be indifferent on the outside.

There is a faint internal strength circling in his internal organs, which is constantly eroding the internal organs, and his body is constantly deteriorating, according to this speed, it will not take two days, I am afraid that I will have to lie down.

Xu Huande showed a wry smile.

In the Secret Guard Mansion, he has always had a calm face, as if he was wearing an iron mask, without any other expression, everything is silent, and he seems to be numb and indifferent, but at this time he showed a sigh: "The Secret Guard Mansion has offended too many people, and it has been settled here." ”

"They are so bold!" Chu Li's face sank.

Xu Huande said: "Forget it, they are all people from the outer or inner tombs, unscrupulous, you have nothing to do with them, besides, you have abolished your martial arts now!"

Chu Li nodded slowly.

"By the way, you have to be careful, you are also from the Secret Guard Mansion. Xu Huande said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid it's difficult to move in the city!"

"It's okay, I'm not going to work on an errand. Chu Li said with a smile: "Several princes pleaded, I got a job, I don't have to go out usually, just cultivate slowly in my own home." ”

"I'm afraid that if you sit at home, disaster will come from the sky!" Xu Huande shook his head, and then smiled: "I don't have that luck, but I don't dare to abolish martial arts like you." ”

He knew that if he abolished martial arts, he would not enter the imperial mausoleum, and if he could live outside the city, it would be easier for him to be recruited back by the emperor.

But his identity determines that this path cannot be taken.

If he doesn't have martial arts, the emperor won't use him, and it is impossible to recall Shendu, besides, he also has an understanding of his own situation, and knows that there will be no good fruits to eat when he comes to the imperial tomb, he will be excluded and suppressed, no one can rely on him, and his martial arts are gone.

Chu Li nodded and smiled: "If you don't enter the outer tomb, there won't be so many grievances, right?"

"The people of the outer tomb can come out. Xu Huande shook his head: "They will definitely make trouble for you, even if you are afraid of hiding, you can't hide!"

"I still have a young lady to protect me. Chu Li said with a smile.

Xu Huande shook his head: "According to the rules of the attached city, non-family members cannot settle down, and they can only live for seven days at most." ”

Chu Li raised his eyebrows.

"Once Miss Xiao leaves after seven days, who will protect you?" said Xu Huande.

"Can only be a family member?" Chu Li frowned.

Xiao Qi also frowned and said nothing.

Xu Huande said: "If Miss Xiao is your wife, you can stay, but Miss Xiao is not, you can only leave after seven days, no one can disobey this rule!"

"What else can I do to stay?" Xiao Qi said.

Xu Huande said: "Brothers and sisters can only be relatives, and those who are not related by blood can only be husband and wife." ”

Chu Li smiled and said, "It seems that I have to live alone." ”

Xu Huande said: "You have abolished martial arts now, don't think that they will follow the rules of martial arts and let you go, but they will get worse!"

Xiao Qidai frowned. (To be continued.) )
