The luxuriously decorated chariot drove to three feet in front of Chu Xiu.
Li Yuanxiong walked down and walked over.
"I have long heard that Mr. Chu is a peerless genius. When I saw him today, he was indeed extraordinary." Li Yuanxiong said with a smile.
Chu Xiu looked at Li Yuanxiong, raised his eyebrows and said, "I heard that you asked a young man to be picked up with a stick. What do you think of that man's strength?"
Li Yuanxiong's face was slightly stiff, and there was a dull pain in his right cheek.
"Better than Gu." Li Yuanxiong said slowly.
"I can tell." Chu Xiu said.
Li Yuanxiong stared at Chu Xiu, "You don't seem to like Gu."
Chu Xiu looked disgusted, "Who would like a man?"
Li Yuanxiong's face twitched slightly and he explained: "This time, I came under orders, not my original intention."
"It has nothing to do with me." Chu Xiu said calmly, "I only know that repaying debts is a matter of course."
Li Yuanxiong glanced at Zuo Chong and said slowly: "Gu help him pay it back."
Chu Xiu and Pei Yiren's expressions turned cold.
"Who are you, you help him pay it back?" Chu Xiu sneered, "You are the most despicable person. Brother Gu treats you as a friend, but you go out of your way to make things difficult for him."
Li Yuanxiong's face darkened.
"The relationship between Gu and Brother Gu is not for outsiders to comment." Li Yuanxiong said lightly.
Chu Xiu said: "Then what are you doing at the moment? My and Zuo Chong's debts are none of your business?"
Li Yuanxiong looked at Chu Xiu intently for a while, turned to Zuo Chong, and said calmly: "Since you are ready to die, why not do it yourself?"
Chu Xiu also looked at Zuo Chong; at the same time, he stretched his left hand to the left and pointed the firegun at Li Yuanxiong's temple.
Li Yuanxiong frowned and glanced at the gun in Chu Xiu's hand from the corner of his eye. He didn't know what it was, but he could only vaguely feel some threat from the dark muzzle.
Zuo Chong's face changed slightly, his eyes changing.
He knew very well that the fire cannon could not hurt Li Yuanxiong, but once Chu Xiu used the fire cannon to attack Li Yuanxiong, the next thing would be difficult to correct.
"Mr. Chu, I can't leave." Zuo Chong looked at Chu Xiu, "Even if I leave with you this time, the problem will still be there."
Chu Xiu said: "Tell me what problems you have and I will help you solve them."
Zuo Chong shook his head, "This has nothing to do with you."
Chu Xiu stared at Zuo Chong and said slowly: "Don't you feel aggrieved to die here?"
"It's a bit frustrating." Zuo Chong nodded, he couldn't deny it.
Chu Xiu said: "I have a suggestion."
Zuo Chong shook his head, "I don't want to hear it."
Chu Xiu said: "You know, I must say it."
Zuo Chong was silent, he couldn't stop it.
Chu Xiu said: "You have suffered so many grievances over the years. If you die now, wouldn't the grievances you have suffered become a matter of course?
At the very least, it's time to take revenge. Don't let those who bullied you feel too happy. "
Zuo Chong was speechless. After a while, he smiled freely and said, "I'm tired."
Chu Xiu's heart sank.
Zuo Chong looked at Vice Commander Guo and said warmly: "Can you bring me two jugs of wine? I would like to offer one to Mr. Chu at the end."
"good."
Vice Commander Guo nodded and glanced at Long Yuanwei beside him.
"Where is the hope?" Chu Xiu whispered, retracting the blunderbuss with his left hand and gently pressing the hilt of the sword with his right hand.
Zuo Chong shook his head.
Chu Xiu released the hilt of his sword and turned to look at Pei Yiren, "How about you go and persuade Li Xianyuan."
"What are you trying to persuade?" Pei Yiren frowned.
Chu Xiu said word by word: "Advise him to die!"
Pei Yiren and Zuo Chong's expressions changed.
There was a moment of dead silence inside and outside the prison.
Li Xianyuan walked out of the prison.
In his hand, there is a long sword.
Outside the prison.
Except for Zuo Chong, everyone else's eyes were on Li Xianyuan.
He walked to Zuo Chong's side.
The two stood side by side.
"You have a good friend." Li Xianyuan said, his eyes falling on Chu Xiu.
Zuo Chong nodded, "I am lucky to be friends with Mr. Chu."
"It's a pity that your life is not good." Li Xianyuan said, "You know me."
Zuo Chong smiled and said, "If I hadn't known you, I probably wouldn't have lived to be fifteen."
"Yes, I saved you in the first place." Li Xianyuan said.
Zuo Chong said: "So, I will give you my life now."
"Then let me deal with you with my own hands." Li Xianyuan shouted suddenly, turned the sword in his hand, and stabbed Zuo Chong's chest.
Shocking change!
It shocked everyone present.
Uh-huh!
The wooden sword is unsheathed, and the body is like a trained horse.
Afterimages passed through the eight hundred Longyuan Guards in an instant.
Chu Xiu arrives.
The wooden sword drew a light yellow arc, as sharp as a startling light, and seemed to be able to cut off everything.
Li Xianyuan reacted extremely quickly and immediately retracted the hand holding the sword.
The pinky finger fell flush.
Li Xianyuan's pupils shrank sharply and his figure retreated sharply.
"What a quick sword..." The face of the eldest prince Li Yuanxiong changed, and he was shocked beyond words.
The sword has been sheathed.
Chu Xiu grabbed Zuo Chong's shoulder with his left hand, and gently caressed Zuo Chong's back with his right hand. Wisps of cold energy filled the area around the long sword that came out of his body.
"This should be the best result." Zuo Chong grinned, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.
Chu Xiu's heart sank to the bottom, and he said softly: "I'm not fast enough."
"You have done enough." Zuo Chong said with a smile, "If there is an afterlife, I will definitely find you and offer you a jar of wine."
Chu Xiu stared at Zuo Chong and said slowly: "The matter is now over, so I won't say more. I will ask your fiancée to pay back the money you owe me."
"Okay." Zuo Chong fell into Chu Xiu's arms and murmured, "Thank you."
Chu Xiu's eyes turned red.
Zhao Wangsun, the tall fourth master of the academy, came over and held an umbrella for Chu Xiu and Zuo Chong.
Tang Jiabao quickly walked to the other side of Zuo Chong and took Zuo Chong's pulse.
His heart also sank to the bottom.
…
Zhuque Academy.
Back mountain.
On a high pavilion.
The second gentleman stood outside the door with a respectful attitude.
"Things in this world are never as satisfactory as expected." Chen Changsheng, lying on the rocking chair in the room, sighed leisurely.
Mr. Er said: "But our Zhuque Academy is a place dedicated to creating miracles."
Chen Changsheng smiled and joked: "Create a miracle? You are the famous second gentleman in the academy, haven't you been able to win the beauty back?"
The second gentleman muttered: "Why don't you believe it? I don't like Pei Yiren."
"I believe it." Chen Changsheng said suddenly.
The second gentleman was startled.
Chen Changsheng said leisurely: "Not only do I believe it, I also know who the woman you really like is."
The second gentleman’s expression changed drastically.
"To be precise, I'm not sure whether you like it or not." Chen Changsheng smiled, "In my long years, I have met many people like you.
Seeing that the woman I like is getting married, I just want her to be happy.
Is this magnanimity? Or cowardly? "
The second gentleman's usually stern face suddenly turned red.
"That kid is very good. He can write beautiful articles when he opens his mouth." Chen Changsheng said with a smile, "Next, I will defeat him in all aspects and let him understand what it means to be the best in the world?"
When he said this, his face was full of expectation.
Mr. Er hesitated for a moment, "His heart is no longer calm, and the disciple is a little worried, fearing that it will be difficult for him to go up the mountain."
The assessment for inner court disciples is to climb a mountain in Suzaku Academy.
At this level, ask your heart.
"Then you are underestimating him." Chen Changsheng smiled and said, "His sword has been tempered for thousands of times, and it is full of evil energy. Compared with the killers who have been fighting on the battlefield for many years, they can't show any more concessions.
He should have tempered his mind. "
"With that sword, the disciple saw the decisiveness." Mr. Er said.
"How does it compare to your nephew?" Chen Changsheng asked with a smile.
Mr. Er said: "Each has its own merits."
"Really?" Chen Changsheng waved his hand noncommittally, "Go and get busy, the matter is not over yet."
"yes."
…
Imperial Palace, Yangxin Hall.
"A sword through the heart?"
After receiving the news of Zuo Chong's death, Emperor Qian sat on the dragon chair, dazed, and suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart.
"Academy..."
The whole night, Emperor Qian didn't dare to sleep.
By the time it gets bright in the morning, all the uneasiness in my heart has dissipated.
"I am the master of Daqian after all."
A smile appeared on Emperor Qian's face, and he summoned Li Xianyuan, the commander of Long Yuan Guard.
Now that Zuo Chong is dead, Pei Yuxian's engagement is naturally gone.
Not long after.
Li Xianyuan came to Yangxin Hall.
Emperor Qian's first glance fell on the little finger of Li Xianyuan's right hand.
It was wrapped in white gauze and a section was broken.
"With your strength, you shouldn't be able to dodge a young man's sword." Emperor Qian looked at Li Xianyuan.
Li Xianyuan said calmly: "He is already considered a disciple of the academy, and I need to let the academy calm down."
"What you did is right." Emperor Qian nodded and asked, "Do you hate me?"
Li Xianyuan said: "Zuo Chong is His Majesty's personal guard, but he took refuge in the Vermillion Bird Academy and deserved his death. I am indeed a little bit intolerant, but I will not hesitate to use my sword in the face of anyone who is disrespectful to Your Majesty."
"Really?" Emperor Qian was noncommittal and stared at Li Xianyuan, "Among my many princes, who do you think is the most suitable to marry Pei Yuxian?"
Li Xianyuan was silent for a moment.
"As the saying goes, the eldest brother is like father, and the eldest sister is like mother." Emperor Qian smiled lightly and said, "You are Pei Yuxian's brother-in-law, so naturally you can decide Pei Yuxian's marriage."
"She is a disciple of the inner courtyard of the academy." Li Xianyuan said slowly.
"Is that important?" Emperor Qian smiled and said meaningfully, "I guess that as long as you mention it to her, she will be happy to marry my son."
Li Xianyuan was silent.
Are you willing to marry, or are you willing to kill? !
"His Majesty should decide which prince she marries." Li Xianyuan's voice was hoarse.
Emperor Qian smiled and said thoughtfully: "Just Prince Ji, he has suffered a lot of grievances recently, I should give him some compensation."
"No." Li Xianyuan lowered his head and responded.
Emperor Qian continued, "It's better to choose a day than to hit it. Tomorrow, Suzaku Academy will conduct the inner court examination, so we will take advantage of this auspicious day to marry Pei Yuxian into Prince Ji's palace."
"promise."
"Go and make arrangements. I want everyone in Chang'an to know that my son, King Ji, has married the most beautiful sister in the world as his concubine."
"promise."
…
The whole city is full of wind.
News of Zuo Chong's death spread throughout the streets and sparked heated discussions.
It didn't take long.
The news that Ji Wang Li Yuanhua was going to marry Pei Yuxian spread like wildfire, and Chang'an was shocked for a while.
Many people secretly greeted the Daqian royal family and Li Xianyuan.
Often come to the inn.
Chu Xiu was stunned when he received the news.
"Xiao Xiu, are you okay?" Jiang Rou held Chu Xiu's hand.
After receiving the news of Zuo Chong's death this morning, Xia Qingshan, Jiang Rou, and Xia Chuxue's family rushed to Changlai Inn as soon as possible.
Chu Xiu tilted his head slightly, "What can happen to me?"
Jiang Rou's eyes were full of heartache, and she said softly: "There are too many injustices in the world, and we always have to experience some helplessness."
"You have done a good job." Xia Qingshan looked at Chu Xiu and said in a deep voice, "Chang'an City is the imperial capital after all. There are some things that none of us can do anything about."
In Xia Qingshan's hand, there is a bottle of wine.
Forget about the wine.
It was originally prepared to make friends with some gentlemen from Suzaku Academy.
This morning, after hearing the news of Zuo Chong's death, he brought this pot of Wangyou wine.
"I'm fine, I just feel like drinking." Chu Xiu stared at the wine bottle in Xia Qingshan's hand.
"This is specially prepared for you." Xia Qingshan handed over the Wangyou wine, "Get drunk and forget all your worries. Tomorrow you will climb the mountain and sing high."
"good."
Chu Xiu carried the wine bottle and walked out of the room.
When he came to the backyard of the inn, with his sword hanging from its scabbard hanging from his waist, he leaned back and drank some wine.
"Have a break..." Jiang Rou stepped forward, wanting to comfort her.
Xia Qingshan pulled Jiang Rou and whispered: "He needs to vent."
Jiang Rou was startled and stood under the eaves, watching quietly.
The landlady, Zhu Yourong, and Xia Chuxue also stood under the eaves, looking at Chu Xiu who seemed to be independent from the world, with a flash of distress in their eyes.
Chu Xiu held a sword in one hand and a pot in the other.
The sword danced like a flower, the body swayed, the feet seemed to stumble, and it was full of drunkenness.
"Drunken Sword."
Jiang Rou whispered.
He recognized the swordsmanship that Chu Xiu was practicing.
He drank wine crazily, his body was about to lean, his black hair was dancing wildly, and his sword was struck like a cold wind.
The sword dance is in full swing, and the drunken singer sings:
"Come with a sword and ride on the wind to slay demons in the world."
"I am happy and happy when I have wine, but I am also mad without wine."
"Drink all the rivers in one drink, and swallow the sun and moon in another drink."
"A thousand cups of wine will last me, but I am the only one..."
When the wine in the pot is gone, the body falls over; when the young man is drunk, it is difficult to calm down.
