Volume 1 The Ups and Downs of This Life Chapter 28 From the Imperial Capital
Li Xuandu stayed in the city of Fengyin Mansion for two days, not because he was trusted, but because he made an appointment with someone to meet here, but he responded to an old saying, when the rain stops, the rain often does not stop, and when people come, people often do not come, I don't know what trouble was encountered on the road, and the person who made an appointment with Li Xuandu was delayed.
As a last resort, Li Xuan made up his mind to wait for one more day at most, if he didn't come, he could only leave the code agreed earlier and leave.
As for what to do in this day, according to Li Xuandu's original idea, let the little girl practice in the guest room of the inn with peace of mind, but the little girl squirmed and said that she wanted to go around the city, Li Xuandu saw her pitiful appearance, and the practice was not an overnight thing, so he took her out of the inn and went to the market in the city.
However, at this time, Li Xuandu's heart was far less relaxed than he seemed on the surface.
After all, now he is no longer the Zifu Sword Immortal who crisscrossed the Jiangbei River with one person and one sword, even if he relied on what he had learned and could cross the border to kill the master of the Xuanyuan Realm, it would end here, as long as there was a master of the Innate Realm who made a move, he could be put to death.
And Qingluanwei, as an authoritative yamen comparable to a sect, has many masters of the Innate Realm and the Xuanyuan Realm, among which the left and right governors are masters of the True Realm, and they are good at spying on the way of assassination. At the beginning of the first battle of the imperial capital, one of the four ministers was under the protection of a master of the Returning Truth Realm, and was successfully assassinated by the previous Qingluan Wei Zuo Dudu, which led to the later Battle of Chengtianmen, and more than ten masters of the Innate Realm set up an ambush in advance on the way out of the palace, and besieged the master of the Returning Realm to death.
This time he provoked Qingluanwei, and it must not be so easy to be good. If one is not careful, it is very likely that they will be blocked in Luzhou. So Li Xuandu, just in case, specially invited a friend to pick him up here, but the friend was outdated, but Li Xuandu was put in a dilemma.
Today is the last day, if you can't wait, Li Xuandu will take the little girl to leave Fengyin Mansion and go to Yiyang Mansion.
However, Li Xuan will not mention half a point to the little girl, and he will not even show half a point on the surface, giving the little girl an illusion, as if Qingluanwei swallowed the knocked out tooth back into his stomach after suffering a big dumb loss, and he didn't want to get back to the field at all.
One big and one small leisurely walked out of the inn and went in the direction of the bazaar.
On the way, Li Xuandu spent two pennies to buy a string of bright red sugar gourds for the little girl, because of the large number of people, she drove her to her neck, as the saying goes, how to ride on the neck, for so many years, the little girl is the first to really ride on Li Xuandu's neck.
Underage children are good at this, they can go beyond the strict etiquette law to a certain extent without being harshly criticized, and they are similar to the old people who do not exceed the rules, if they are replaced by a cardamom lady, they must not ride on Li Xuandu's neck, because that will be regarded as immoral.
But in this way, the two are really like a pair of brothers and sisters.
"Brother, did you say there was a shadow puppet show over there?"
"Yes, not only these, but also candy blowers, clay figures, jugglers, acrobats, monkeys, do you want to see it?"
"Yes. ”
"Let's go. ”
Li Xuandu carried the little girl through the crowd like a swimming fish, Zhou Shuning only felt dizzy, a pair of eyes were not enough, and even forgot to eat the sugar gourd in his hand.
After the two of them wandered around like this for about half an hour, Zhou Shuning had already finished eating a string of sugar gourds, and he was still holding a sugar man in his hand, which was the appearance of a military general in the script, lifelike, and people were reluctant to eat it.
Zhou Shuning held this sugar man and looked around, somewhat unfinished.
Suddenly, Li Xuandu stopped and looked away.
I saw an old man suddenly appear in the crowd, dressed in coarse cloth, with his trousers rolled up high, and straw sandals on his feet, looking like an old farmer in the field, but Li Xuandu saw the old man at this moment, but his body was full of qi and sword intent.
This posture of facing a great enemy is even worse than the posture of facing Qian Xing in the Taiping Inn.
At the same time that Li Xuandu looked at the old man, the old man also looked at him.
The eyes of the two converged through the figures, Li Xuandu only felt that his qi and blood were faintly boiling, and he quietly operated the pure heart recipe of the Miao Zhen Sect before he could barely suppress it.
The one who should come is going to come after all, but he was bitten by Qingluanwei's tail.
This was expected by Li Xuandu, but it was much faster than he expected, according to his original estimate, Qingluanwei would almost have to catch up with him at the border of Zhongzhou, and at that time he had already joined the friend who came to answer, so he was naturally not afraid of anything. But now his situation is that before his friend arrived, Qingluanwei arrived first, which suddenly put him in an extremely disadvantageous situation.
Li Xuandu didn't know how this Qingluanwei who was not wearing Qingluan's official uniform found himself, through Xuanzhi and Xuan's divination, or did he accidentally leave clues somewhere? But these are not important, for Li Xuandu, the most important thing at the moment is to consider whether he can defeat the Qingluanwei master in front of him, and how to get out.
Although Li Xuan is no longer what he used to be, his eyesight is still there, and he can probably judge that this person is even better than Qian Xingxiang who died in his hands, and he has probably touched the threshold of the innate realm, and he is also a good hand at mastering magic.
Zhou Shuning also saw this old man, and a frightened look suddenly appeared on his face.
Of course, she didn't know the identity of this person, but after feeling Li Xuandu's nervousness for a moment, she could roughly guess that the person in front of her had bad intentions, and Bacheng was the nightmarish Qingluanwei.
To her, Qingluanwei is even more hateful and terrifying than the evil ghosts in hell.
Li Xuandu said softly: "Shuning, come down." ”
After all, Zhou Shuning had already set foot in the Imperial Qi Realm, and immediately leaned back after hearing this, somersaulted backwards, and landed lightly on Li Xuandu's shoulder.
Although the street was bustling with pedestrians at this time, no one noticed the abnormality of the two, at most they were surprised by the dexterity of the little girl, no less than the children in the juggling team.
Li Xuandu asked, "Who is coming?"
The old man smiled lightly and replied in the same way, "From the Imperial Capital." ”
When the words fell, the clothes on Li Xuandu's body were hunting.
Zhou Shuning, who was standing behind Li Xuandu, was forced back a few steps back by a strong wind, and almost sat on the ground.
I didn't see any movement from the old man, just the leakage of qi in his body, so that Zhou Shuning, who had just entered the realm of imperial qi, couldn't withstand this pressure even if he hid behind Li Xuandu, which showed that the old man's cultivation was strong. And this leakage of qi is only aimed at Li Xuandu and Zhou Shuning, and it does not involve anyone else, which shows that the old man's cultivation is profound.
