Because of the assassin's matter, Zixue Behan did not leave the old site of the royal court rashly, but sent someone to the royal court to report the news first, and he "stubbornly waited for help", so he set up camp in this city and waited for Yaomu Khan to respond.

Zixue Beihan can not go, but the caravan can't not go, it has just snowed heavily, and it is difficult to wait until the snow stops, if you don't take advantage of the sunny weather to hurry up, and wait until the second heavy snow falls, I am afraid that I will not be able to go. When the time came, I missed the day and missed Xiao Yan's birthday, but I didn't have the place to buy regret medicine.

Along the way, Li Xuandu learned a lot about the recent situation of the royal court from the mouth of Yue Li.

According to the month of parting, because the royal court is where the old Khan is stationed, so although the other kings have personal soldiers, but the strength is about 1,000 people, the royal court is mainly guarded by the cowardly Xue army, and the cowardly Xue army is led by the Dadu Lieutenant, and the current Dadu Lieutenant is Ili Khan. Other than that, there are shamanic forces. The number of these shamans is not comparable to the cowardly Xue army with tens of thousands at every turn, but the status is respected, and they have good cultivation, compared with the Yamen of the Central Plains Imperial Court, they have the functions of the Ministry of Rites, Qin Tianjian, Honglu Temple, and the Department of Ancestral Halls, which should not be underestimated. Both of them support the Da Yan clan.

It stands to reason that with the support of Iri Khan and the shamans, the Great Clan should have completely controlled the situation in the royal court. But the key lies in the attitude of the old Khan, after all, the old Khan is the master of the Golden Horde, the cowardly Xue army is the old Khan's guard, and the shaman is the servant of the old Khan. In the last ten years, the power of the Xiao Yan clan has developed rapidly, and many royal court magnates have fallen to the Xiao Yan clan, and the accumulation of small amounts is not inferior to the Ili Khan and many shamans who are in charge of the cowardly Xue army. Seriously calculated, Zixue Bei Khan and Yue Ji Bei Khan both support Xiao Yan's family.

As for the royal court maids mastered by Xiao Yan's subordinates, they are mysterious and abnormal, even if it is the month of parting, it is not very clear, only that these maids also have internal power divisions, some of them act as guards next to Xiao Yan's side, and some of them conceal their identities and are distributed around the royal court magnates. Generally speaking, the maids who guarded Xiao Yan's side were very ugly and dark-skinned, while those who sneaked into the royal court's powerful were very beautiful, some were lowly slave girls, and some were the favored concubines of Nayan. After all, it is impossible for many Nayan people to be as pure and unattractive as monks, as long as they are greedy for beauty, they will be taken advantage of by these mysterious maids. The Xiao Yan clan controlled the royal court through these maids.

Hearing this, Li Xuandu remembered the Lady Sect, how could the methods of the two be so similar? Then he thought of Xie Pheasant, could it be that this little Yan clan is also similar to Xie Pheasant's identity?

Thinking of this, Li Xuandu got closer and closer to the royal court as the caravan got closer and closer, and there were only five days left to go.

......

Youzhou, Chaoyang Mansion, Qin family.

A light snow fluttered in, so that

The whole mansion is covered in silver. The big lake in Fuzhong has frozen, lining the three-story pavilion on the island in the middle of the lake is a little deserted, because the lake is private for the eldest lady, according to the rules set by the eldest lord himself, even if it is the eldest master, without the permission of the eldest lady, can not go upstairs, idle people are not allowed to enter the lake, the eldest lady also had a few maids in the early years, but as she got older, they were dismissed, and this place was naturally deserted.

At this time, there were a few children on the lake who were skating and playing in the snow, they were all from the second room of the Qin family, and they were at the age of innocence, so Qin Su, the elder sister and aunt, opened the net and did not refuse them to play here.

The weather is cold and freezing, and it can't stop the angry children, but the cat is afraid of the cold, and has long stopped going out, shrinking in the arms of the owner, picking up his little hands, squinting and napping.

A white palm strokes the cat from moment to time, occasionally scratching its chin, causing a comfortable "purring" sound.

Qin Su reclined on the couch on the third floor, holding the yellow civet flower of the famous "Golden Bean", wearing a plain moon white dress, embroidered with dark flowers with floating cloud patterns, covered with a stone blue jacket, and a jade bracelet on his right hand, which was the finishing touch.

This bracelet is not given by Li Xuandu. The two bracelets given by Li Xuandu have long been put away and preserved by Qin Su, this bracelet was given by Li Feiyan, although it is a Sumeru treasure in itself, but for Qin Su, it is not a valuable thing, the key is that the meaning is different. This bracelet was originally a pair, passed to her and her sister Li Qingyun by Li Feiyan's mother, one for each person, waiting for them to pass it on to their daughter or daughter-in-law in the future, Li Qingyun's bracelet was passed on to Situ Xuance, but Li Feiyan's bracelet has been preserved to this day, and then passed to Qin Su, which shows that Qin Su is the identity of the daughter-in-law of the Li family.

When it comes to getting married, it is also called the good of two surnames, which is naturally not as simple as the matter of the two, but related to the two families. For Li Xuandu and Qin Su, it is naturally the Li family and the Qin family. The Li family is different from the Zhang family and the Qin family, and they do not value blood, and there has always been a tradition of recruiting and righteous sons, and because of this, the Li family is endlessly talented. This shows the difference, you must know that even if the prince takes the heir, he must have enough sons and become a weapon.

Li Daoxu and Li Daoshi were in the family back then, changed their surname to Li, and became members of the Li family. Situ Xuance, Lu Yanbing and others were born in the Qingwei clan, and they are not from the Li family. From this point of view, the people in the Qingwei Sect and the people in the Li family cannot be generalized. Today's head of the Li family is naturally Li Daoxu, although he does not have a son and a half daughter under his knees, but Li Yuanying, Li Xuandu, and Li Taiyi are all recorded in his and Li Qingyun's names, which are equivalent to sons. If you follow this order, Li Yuanying is the eldest son, but he is not the son of the sect, the so-called son of the sect, that is, the body

The eldest son of the inheritance of the great sect, his wife is the wife of the clan, whether it is to worship ancestors, funerals, happy events, banquets and guests, all of them are mainly based on the sons of the sect. Under Li Yuanying, Li Xuandu is the second son, and Li Yuanyi is the youngest son. Although Li Daoxu expelled Li Xuandu from the sect and forbade him to act in the name of Qingwei Sect, he did not remove him from the Li family's genealogy. According to Li Daoxu's original idea, two disciples, one is the sect master, and the other is the sect son, so who can become the son of the Li family in the future has not yet been decided.

Because of this, Li Xuandu and Qin Suding are really the marriage of the Qin and Li families, which is why Li Xuandu has no father and no mother but says that he can't turn his back on his ancestors and join the family.

Speaking of marriage, this matter was approved by Li Daoxu, and then Li Feiyan, an elder, came to the door in person, and there was a lot of half a courtesy, which was the order of his parents. Nowadays, the world pays attention to a Ming media is marrying, if the husband and wife marry privately, it is inevitable that they will be suspected of being unjust, and the woman will be looked down upon. Qin Su has also figured it out in the past few days, he thought it was simple before, but now it is right to follow the rules step by step. According to what Li Feiyan said, Gu Yusheng married Li Yuanying, although Xie Pheasant was in charge, but there were no elders on the Li family's side, and Gu Yusheng couldn't talk about his innocence, so it was a little unclear. Besides, mastering the Li family means mastering more than half of the halls of the Qingwei Sect, and the sect master is just a showman.

These words made Qin Su blush, and he didn't dare to answer. However, Qin Su also recognized this truth, as far as the Taiping Sect is concerned, although Li Xuandu is the sect master of the Taiping Sect, he still has to befriend Mrs. Lu to check and balance Shen Yuanzhong, which is not as casual as when Mr. Shen Da was in charge of the Taiping Sect, without him, but because the Shen family is powerful.

Qin Su is not a good old man who spits on himself, Li Yuanying's plot against Li Xuandu has always been remembered by her, this revenge is not avenged, how can she be willing, even if she can endure it, for Li Xuandu, she can't bear it. After listening to Li Feiyan's words, she thought that although Li Xuandu was not the suzerain of Qingwei Sect, after all, his surname was Li, if he could inherit the position of the head of the Li family, and then have the second senior brother as the Austrian aid, it would be logical to meddle in the Qingwei Sect in the future.

Thinking of this, Qin Su subconsciously stroked the golden bean in his arms against Mao, causing it to "ha" dissatisfiedly, and gave a warning, but because it was too cold, he did not escape from Qin Su's arms.

Qin Su came back to his senses, hurriedly comforted the little guy in his arms, and said with a smile: "Doudou, maybe you will change your name to Big Orange in the future." ”

Jin Doudou glanced at her obliquely, with disdain in his eyes, as if to say, "Stupid woman." ”
