Gusu City, north of the city.
Li Zhai.
Li Su looked at the blood-stained index and middle fingers of his right hand, feeling shocked and confused for a moment.
Just now, he caught something in the sachet storage bag and failed to get it out. When he stretched out his two fingers, his fingers were stained with blood.
I stared at the opening of the sachet carefully and saw a faint red line in the right corner of the bottom of the sachet.
"As long as it's not a human body."
Li Su breathed a sigh of relief and his eyes fell on the three gold-edged books on the table.
Qiushui Sword Technique.
Feixian Sword Formation.
The misty dragon body.
"It's either none or everything."
Li Su lamented that before meeting the heroine in white, he could not find any kind of training methods. He could only follow Zuo Qianhu, beat his muscles and bones, and practice some superficial martial arts.
Now, all of a sudden, there is no shortage of Xuan Gong secrets.
at dusk.
Zuo Qianhu drove a carriage into Li's house.
Li Su stood in the yard, looking at the car, her heart beating slightly faster, and she felt like she was about to meet her online girlfriend.
The first person to get off the carriage was a tall woman wearing a purple robe and skirt.
Li Su's eyes suddenly lit up.
This purple-clothed woman is unusually tall. According to visual inspection, she is at least 1.79 meters tall.
In addition to being tall, her figure is also extremely impressive and full of curves.
With long black hair hanging down her hips, skin as bright as jade, red lips and an upturned nose, she looks like a royal lady.
"It's not the same as the portrait."
Li Sugang thought this way, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw another figure walking out of the carriage, wearing a bright red wedding dress and a red hijab on his head.
"Forehead……"
Li Su was a little confused and looked at Zuo Qianhu subconsciously.
Zuo Qianhu introduced: "She is Ziying, Qi'er's maid."
"Are all the maids so good-looking?" Li Su was surprised and his eyes fell on the woman wearing a bright red wedding dress.
Tian Qi, Zuo Qianhu’s distant cousin.
Compared with Ziying's tallness, Tian Qi's height appears to be more normal, and her well-fitting wedding dress highlights her curvy figure.
The exposed hands and neck are unusually white, with a hint of pink.
"Go into the hall first," Zuo Qianhu said.
"good."
Li Su led the way, and according to Zuo Qianhu's advice to keep everything simple, he only prepared a table of wine and food, and did not deliberately decorate the new house or the worship hall.
"There are no three books and six betrothals, nor three matchmakers and six etiquettes. Qi'er will be your concubine first." When they came to the hall, Zuo Qianhu suddenly said.
Li Su was startled and looked at Zuo Qianhu in surprise. He wanted to ask:
Is this really your niece?
Zuo Qianhu's face remained as usual, feeling quite helpless.
Returning home from Li Su in the afternoon, he will tell Her Royal Highness the princess about the conversation he had with Li Su. There are no three letters, six betrothals, three matchmakers and six etiquette, which is very similar to taking a concubine.
As a result, Her Royal Highness the Princess, for some reason, actually said, "Then take a concubine."
At that time, Zuo Qianhu was shocked.
Although the Chu State was destroyed by Daqian five years ago, the princess is still a princess, so how can she be a concubine?
"Since you don't really want to marry Mr. Li, there is no need to occupy the identity of the Li family's mistress." This was the explanation of Her Royal Highness the Princess.
Zuo Qianhu thought for a while and nodded in agreement.
"Are you sure she's a concubine?" Li Su stared at Zuo Qianhu.
In this era, wife and concubine are two completely different concepts.
The wife's status is, to a certain extent, equal to that of her husband; concubines have no status to speak of, especially in a family like Li Su's where there are no servants at her disposal.
Zuo Qianhu groaned, Her Royal Highness the Princess had already made a decision, how could he have the right to object?
Li Su didn't say anything more, feeling a little suspicious in his heart.
"Is it possible that Lao Zuo's niece is extremely ugly, so she became my concubine, and also gave her a pretty maid as a gift?"
Zuo Qianhu sat on the main seat.
Li Su and Tian Qi stood in the middle of the hall, praying to heaven and earth, to Lao Zuo, and to each other as husband and wife.
The ceremony was simple and hasty, and Li Su didn't even wear the groom's clothes.
This made him feel strange. Just like this, he had a concubine?
The worship service is over.
Tian Qi and Ziying went to Li Su's bedroom together.
Li Su and Zuo Qianhu came to the dining hall, where a table of wine and food had been prepared.
"What's going on?" Li Su couldn't help but ask.
Zuo Qianhu calmly poured himself a glass of wine, "Wouldn't it be better to give you a beautiful girl?"
Li Su complained: "Are you sure she is your biological niece?"
"My distant cousin's cousin," Zuo Qianhu corrected.
Li Su was speechless for a moment and stared at Zuo Qianhu, "Is she the daughter of one of your fellow prisoners? Do you want to arrange her by my side to avoid some investigation?"
"If so, what do you think?" Zuo Qianhu asked, not denying it directly. The boy in front of him could publish a collection of poems to make money before he was ten years old. It would be no exaggeration to say that he was extremely smart.
Naturally, some things cannot be completely hidden.
Li Su frowned slightly and asked in a low voice: "Is it troublesome?"
Zuo Qianhu said: "There is no problem with their identities."
Li Su's heart moved. There was no problem with his identity, but there might be some problems with his appearance, voice and other characteristics.
"No wonder you chose me." Li Su complained, "I like to stay at home, but I can also cause trouble."
"This time, please do me a favor." Zuo Qianhu picked up the wine pot and took the initiative to pour a glass of wine for Li Su, "After a while, when you have reached the level of body tempering, I will personally prepare a medicinal bath for you to help you break through. .”
"The Body Tempering Realm is perfected..." Li Su was speechless. In fact, a few days ago, he felt that he had achieved the Body Tempering Realm. He planned to consolidate it a little more and then talk to Lao Zuo in front of him to discuss a breakthrough.
Unexpectedly, while exercising and peeing in the mountains and forests outside the city, he would encounter the poisoned heroine.
"Has anything happened near Gusu City recently?" Li Su inquired. He wanted to know the specific identity of the female knight in white. None of the objects in the sachet storage bag could indicate her identity. A sharp sword with the word "Autumn Water" engraved on the hilt.
Zuo Qianhu naturally thought that Li Su was trying to find out the identity of Tian Qi and Zi Ying. He said calmly: "The biggest thing is that the thousand-year-old blood dragon in Taihu Lake outside the city has been killed."
"Blood dragon will be killed?" Li Su was startled. He did know that there was a huge blood dragon in Taihu Lake. It appeared once six years ago and swallowed many fishermen near Taihu Lake.
"Who did it?" Li Su was curious.
Zuo Qianhu said: "Taoist Tianzong, Fairy Yuheng."
Li Su blinked, his heart beating much faster, "Who is this?"
"A big shot you will never come into contact with in your life." Zuo Qianhu poured himself a glass of wine, "Jiangnan has been in troubled times recently. Please stay at home and stop running around. It's not peaceful."
"Okay." Li Su nodded, knowing something about the situation.
In the past twenty years, the Daqian Dynasty, which was at its peak, had successively destroyed the four kingdoms of Zhao, Yan, Chu, and Liang, and monopolized the nine states of the Central Plains.
The contemporary Emperor Qian, known as the Emperor Wu, is so powerful that he dominates the world.
Most of the ordinary people in the four kingdoms of Zhao, Yan, Chu, and Liang have surrendered, but the Jianghu, sects, and aristocratic families of the four kingdoms are not so docile.
The chivalrous man used martial arts to violate the law, and the Confucian scholar used literature to disrupt the law.
In remote areas of Kyushu, rebellions break out from time to time; for example, in Qingzhou, where Gusu City is located, bandits are rampant; there are also strange beasts hidden in deep mountains and in large lakes that wreak havoc on villages from time to time.
The two of them drank and chatted.
It's getting late.
Zuo Qianhu stood up and left. Before leaving, he warned: "You have been working hard in the body tempering realm for almost ten years. Don't do anything that falls short of your success."
Li Su's face was a little stiff, and he said with a smile: "If you don't want me to do it, why did you give me your niece as a concubine?"
"If you can't even survive this test, you should give up martial arts as soon as possible." Zuo Qianhu hummed, turned and left.
Li Su walked outside the door, stared at the leaving carriage, and sighed helplessly.
He really wanted to tell Lao Zuo: There are some tests in this world, and you can't just survive them if you want to.
In the face of absolute strength, you can't resist at all.
"Lao Zuo, you begged me to marry this concubine. If I don't marry her, wouldn't I be very sorry for your kindness?"
Back at the house, Li Su looked at the bedroom that served as his new house, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
