"..."
At midnight.
There was some movement outside the wall on the west side of the courtyard.
Ziying took action immediately, captured the two men in black, and thrust them into the mud pit.
Li Su walked out of the study at the right time... Fairy Yuheng heard the news in advance.
"You are quite perceptive." Ziying was surprised.
"Recently, my strength has indeed improved a lot." Li Su came to Ziying's side and smiled proudly, feeling a little guilty.
He himself was not sure whether his guilty conscience was directed at Ziying or Fairy Yuheng.
He only knows that according to the standards of future generations, he is now a man with two feet.
"It seems that there are more than two boats. I also have a concubine who has not consummated the marriage." Li Su's eyes wandered.
Ziying hummed softly: "Since you got an advantage from me, why don't you kneel down and kowtow to thank me?"
Last night, Her Royal Highness spent a lot of money trying to help this bastard temper his spirit.
Li Su had a dark face and sneered: "When I kneel down, you have to lie down."
Ziying: "..."
He flashed his jade-white fists and glanced sideways at Li Su.
Li Su ignored this topic and turned to look at the two people newly inserted into the mud pit.
The same words, achieved the same results.
After a brief inquiry to confirm that the information given by these two people was consistent with the other four, Li Su asked about the itinerary of the third prince Xiao Yuancheng.
"Coming."
"Tell me the time."
"Maybe in two days..."
"..."
Li Su and Ziying both felt a sense of urgency in their hearts.
…
Deep in Taihu Lake.
A small boat took advantage of the darkness and sailed to the stern of Wu's giant ship.
The contemporary Wang Wujian of Wu'an was sitting on the stern deck of the boat fishing.
"Uncle Wu is in such a good mood." A young man sitting at the stern of the fishing boat, holding a scull, greeted him with a smile.
"You don't know how to row a boat." Wu Jian glanced at the young man, "You can't pretend to be an ordinary person."
The young man smiled and said: "Guhe Painting Saint came all the way south from Chaoge City and came here without anyone noticing."
"This only shows that Pei Xuanzi has worked very hard to take care of you." Wu Jian said.
In the middle of the small fishing boat, there is another person sitting, wearing a bamboo hat and raincoat, with a long black beard on his chin.
The current painting saint appointed by Emperor Qian is Pei Xuanzi.
"His Third Highness is extremely talented. No matter who he pretends to be, he always looks like a playboy." The painting saint said with a smile.
"This is quite pertinent." Wu Jian nodded.
The young man curled his lips and hummed: "You are born noble alone, no matter where you are, you are like a dragon standing among snakes, there is nothing wrong with that.
This is true for Gu, and so is Gu's cousin. "
He is Xiao Yuancheng, the third prince of Daqian. In terms of blood, the former Princess Chu Yunran is his cousin.
The Painting Sage glanced at Wu Jian and said, "King Wu An should have already met that highness."
"You guessed wrong this time." Wu Jian shook his head.
Painting Saint and Xiao Yuancheng were both stunned.
"Since you are here, I will not take credit from you." Wu Jian said calmly.
Xiao Yuancheng narrowed his eyes slightly, "Is that abandoned disciple of the Golden Scale Sect very strong?"
"Strong or not, the painting sage knows better." Wu Jian smiled lightly.
Xiao Yuancheng couldn't help but glance at the painting saint. As far as he knew, this painting saint had also participated in the entrance examination of the Golden Scale Sect.
"Back then, his strength was really good." The Painting Sage's face remained as usual, "Now, the old master no longer cares who is strong or weak."
"He will fight tooth and nail." Wu Jian said.
If the painting sage realized something, he said slowly: "The scenery of Taihu Lake is very beautiful."
Wu Jian said leisurely: "That's why I have been staying in Taihu Lake and have never gone ashore."
Xiao Yuancheng raised his eyebrows lightly, understanding the conversation between the two people.
"I heard that Gu's cousin married his disciple?" Xiao Yuancheng asked curiously.
We have learned everything about the situation in Gusu City. We know that the cousin is married to a young man named Li Su.
"That young man is very good." When talking about Li Su, Wu Jian was full of praise, "He will be a talented person in the future."
"He still has a future?" Xiao Yuancheng sneered.
Wu Jian glanced at Xiao Yuancheng and said, "He is very handsome. He is a uniquely handsome man."
"Beautiful man..." Xiao Yuancheng was startled, his heart beat a little faster, and he asked calmly, "How does it compare to Zhigu?"
"It's worse than that." Wu Jian smiled lightly.
"Really?" Xiao Yuancheng raised his eyebrows lightly.
"What this king said is from all aspects." Wu Jian added.
"You are very optimistic about him." The painting saint said thoughtfully.
"I have never seen anyone who can be better than Gu in all aspects." Xiao Yuancheng smiled lightly and said, "If he is as outstanding as you said, Gu should cherish his talent and spare his life."
Wu Jian stared at the fish float on the lake, silently.
The painting saint said softly: "Princess Yunran should have already known that His Highness the Third Highness was coming. She did not escape in advance, because she was afraid that she would have someone to rely on."
"Uncle Wu is in charge of Taihu Lake, and a dragnet has been laid outside Gusu City. No matter what she relies on, she will not be able to escape." Xiao Yuancheng said with a smile, he was very confident.
"..."
In the north of the city, Li's house.
Xiao Yuancheng is approaching and the situation has become very urgent. Under this situation, Ziying needs to be by Tian Qi's side at all times.
She vaguely understood Li Su's thoughts and guessed that the young man might be blaming himself for his lack of strength and was hiding in the study all day and night to practice.
There was a strange warmth in her heart, but she didn't bother.
In the study room, it was a different scene.
Li Su, who knew the situation was urgent, faced a difficult choice: devote himself to practice, or accompany Fairy Yuheng.
Gentle Township, Tomb of Heroes.
In the past, Li Su had thought that he might encounter the temptation of a beautiful woman in the future. His thoughts had always been simple:
What you tempt, I cultivate mine.
Just like the choice between a straight man and his girlfriend in his previous life: before the game starts, his girlfriend is God; after the game starts, his teammates are God.
However, when he really faced Rourou Township, he realized that focusing on cultivation was a blasphemy against the beauty.
In particular, this beauty is Fairy Yuheng, a heroine in white who is unparalleled in elegance and otherworldliness.
What makes Li Su feel lucky is that Fairy Yuheng is not only a beauty, but also a beauty who is proficient in cultivation.
Therefore, Wenwen Township can also be a training ground.
Fairy Yuheng could teach Li Suyan about any questions about cultivation.
What she knows about practicing Xuan Kung, she is willing to teach others all she has.
As long as Li Su asked, as long as she understood, she would tell everything.
This made Li Su not only satisfied, but also a little pushy, and made an even more extreme request:
"I want to focus on you, but I don't want to stop practicing." Li Su looked at Fairy Yuheng under him and said eagerly, "Can you divide your mind and heart? While accompanying me, you can also use your true energy. , help me operate Xuan Gong."
Fairy Yuheng was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly and agreed.
The two intertwined their fingers, and wisps of abundant and pure pure spiritual energy poured into Li Su's body. In an instant, it flowed through all the meridians in Li Su's body and began to circulate along the path of the Taishang Yuding Jue.
"You are so good to me, I will be addicted." Li Su felt comfortable all over, looking at Fairy Yuheng, his eyes became hotter.
Fairy Yuheng stared into her eyes, "This is my punishment for you."
"Punishment? That's not enough." Li Su raised his eyebrows and smiled, understanding what this punishment meant.
once having seen the best, the rest is not worthwhile looking.
Accustomed to Fairy Yuheng's peerless appearance and thoughtfulness, I'm afraid it will be difficult not to make comparisons when meeting other women in the future.
From the beginning, Li Su knew that the heroine in white would not stay in Li's house for long.
During the interaction, the heroine in white's obedience confirmed his suspicions.
He is very self-aware and knows that with his current strength, identity, and status, he cannot fully possess the heroine in white.
All he can do is to leave the deepest impression on the heroine in white as much as possible during this period of time, without leaving any regrets for himself.
"There is still time." Fairy Yuheng said softly.
"You are provoking me." Li Su's eyes flashed with fierce fighting spirit.
Fairy Yuheng's cheeks turned red, she gave Li Su an angry look, and forced herself to focus on the movement of Qi in Li Su's body.
This is a test.
"..."
In the bedroom.
The beautiful cook Gu Qingyan embroidered a lifelike golden five-clawed dragon on the silk satin.
"It's so similar." Tian Qi on the side praised.
Ziying nodded secretly and couldn't help but glance at the beautiful cook. She thought to herself that if this beautiful cook was really an enchantress, then this enchantress must be too versatile.
Disguise, cooking, embroidery... seems to know everything and is good at everything.
"The main thing is that Miss's paintings are beautiful and lifelike." Gu Qingyan complimented, and it was indeed the case. The real dragon she embroidered was completely based on the portrait provided by Tian Qi.
Tian Qi smiled and asked curiously: "Then do you know how to cut?"
"Cutting?" Gu Qingyan nodded, "When this slave is at her husband's house, she often makes clothes."
"If the clothes you make satisfy your husband, I can take your place and fulfill your wish." Tian Qi looked at Gu Qingyan and said softly.
Gu Qingyan's heart moved and she couldn't help but look into Tian Qi's eyes.
His eyes were like stars, filled with a bit of watery tenderness, and seemed to be a bit playful and cunning.
"Is she hinting at me?" Gu Qingyan couldn't calm down, and her heart couldn't help but beat a little faster.
"It is my slave's greatest wish to satisfy the master and the lady." Gu Qingyan said softly.
"Let's cut the clothes first." Tian Qi smiled.
"Okay." Gu Qingyan nodded, not daring to show any unnecessary expressions.
In fact, if there were only Zi Ying and Tian Qi in Li's house, she would be willing to be honest with these two women... There is no conflict of interest between the two parties.
However, Fairy Yuheng was most likely still near Li's house, which made her dare not bet.
It’s noon this day.
In the north of the city, Boyang calligraphy and painting shop.
"Boyang?"
The third prince Xiao Yuancheng, wearing a blue brocade dress, stood outside the calligraphy and painting shop, looked up at the plaque of the calligraphy and painting shop, and raised his eyebrows slightly.
On both sides of him were the painting saint Pei Xuanzi and Cao Huaji, the governor of the Imperial City Department, dressed in casual clothes.
Cao Huaji introduced: "Li Su, whose courtesy name is Boyang."
"Bo means big; Yang means great weapon." Xiao Yuancheng said with a smile, "Bo Yang means great weapon."
"Big weapon? This guy is quite arrogant." Cao Huaji said with a smile.
The painting sage glanced at Cao Huaji and brushed his beard without saying a word. Based on his understanding of the third prince, the great weapon the third prince mentioned was probably different from what Governor Cao understood.
"Knock on the door." Xiao Yuancheng ordered.
Cao Huaji glanced at the Painting Sage and signaled the Painting Sage to open the door.
The Painting Saint stood still and said with a smile: "Please, Governor Cao."
Cao Huaji couldn't help but walk up to the door of Boyang's calligraphy and painting shop and knocked on the door knocker.
In Li's house, the study and bedroom fell silent at the same time.
