When Tang Chao saw Li Xiuyuan, who was twenty years old, he was so numb that he could not speak.
Xiaoju was frightened. She took Li Xiuyuan's hand and asked, "Why is it like this? Brother, you have only been back for a few days and you have suddenly become like this."
In her opinion, if this rate continues, wouldn't Li Xiuyuan become like the elders of Qingcheng in less than a year, with white hair and wrinkles on his face?
Li Xiuyuan took the bronze mirror from Xiaoju's hand, looked at it carefully, and felt a bit bitter in his mouth.
Sure enough, as long as he takes action, regardless of whether it is justified or not, the heaven here will kill him.
The so-called legend has always been there. He only made two attacks and was ruthlessly cut off for many years. What if someone comes to trouble him again in the future?
His heart moved, and he remembered why his husband would rather hide in a place like Fengyun City back then.
Perhaps only by going to a small town that is relatively quiet and free of disputes can we be out of sight, out of mind, and out of action.
Xiao Hei had already come back. After a few days of busy work, this guy fell in love with sleeping again, and he still didn't want to wake up.
Li Xiuyuan sighed slightly as the snow fell quietly outside the flower hall.
I thought to myself, if Xiao Hei hadn't followed him back here and helped him calm down some of the turmoil, what would he look like now?
He shook his head gently, thinking about what the old Taoist priest said, with a look of self-deprecation on his face.
It seems that in the days to come, you have to be more careful and not get angry over small things, otherwise you will grow old faster.
Before he could figure out how to transform into a mortal, he died of old age in the place where he was born, and then was kicked out, never to be transformed into a mortal again.
While he was thinking about it, the housekeeper came in with Nalan Yu.
Looking at Nalan Yu, who had changed into a white robe today, Li Xiuyuan had a strange feeling.
"I still like to see my eldest brother wearing armor. That gives him the majesty of a general."
Li Xiuyuan smiled and told the housekeeper that the general would stay at the house for dinner at noon. The housekeeper responded and immediately went to prepare some things.
In the old man's opinion, in the imperial city, only the housekeeper of the Imperial Master's residence is the most leisurely person.
Thinking that Su Qingyue was still imprisoned in the sky prison, and wondering how His Majesty would deal with her in the end, Nalan Yu couldn't help but ask: "Are you really going to take that woman to Qingcheng?"
At this point, Li Xiuyuan saw an aging woman sitting in a wheelchair with empty eyes.
She couldn't help but shake her head gently: "I'm afraid she won't survive until spring."
From Li Xiuyuan's perspective, the current Su Qingyue was in much worse condition than the dead Linghu Kuangyu. Linghu Kuangyu just gave up, and Li Xiuyuan had not abandoned his cultivation before.
But now Su Qingyue is not only heartbroken, but also has lost all her cultivation.
Time is ruthless, and she will only grow older day by day, fearing that she may not survive Qingcheng.
"Why? Isn't she fine?" Nalan Yu replied incredulously: "I personally sent her back to the prison."
Li Xiuyuan smiled bitterly: "I don't want to face these bad things again. Please go and give her a happy life."
"This...does the Emperor know about this? Do you want to tell the right minister?"
Nalan Yu was shocked. Although he had killed many imperial soldiers and monks who had rebelled in the past few days, he was still shocked when he was asked to deal with Su Qingyue.
Li Xiuyuan watched Nalan Yu's emotional changes and couldn't help but said coldly: "It's okay if you don't want to go. Go and change Xia Yunlan back to me."
"As long as the dead people come back alive, I promise not to hold anyone accountable!"
"Then you might as well kill me." Nalan Yu was startled when he heard these words, and said slowly: "If you start this matter together, don't talk about me. I guess the emperor is also very angry."
When he mentioned the dead Yun Lan, Nalan Yu immediately stopped talking, because these dead bodyguards in death clothes were as close to him as brothers, and they fought together in Southern Xinjiang and Beihai.
With her blood boiling, Nalanyu, who immediately lost her sense of womanliness, patted her chest and said, "Leave this matter to me!"
Li Xiuyuan has solved the problem of Linghu Kuangyu, leaving Su Qingyue who has lost her cultivation. Naturally, he does not want to cause any more trouble to his brother.
"There is one thing, let Wang Tianhua do it, just think of it as a favor to him."
After Li Xiuyuan thought for a moment, he said quietly: "As for the Linghu family's deportation to southern Xinjiang after Tianchun, Linghu Kuangyu's daughter married that guy..."
Even after many years, Li Xiuyuan still remembered Linghu Shanshan on the Beihai battlefield, the woman who finally married Wang Tianhua, the proud daughter of the once imperial city.
Looking down and thinking about it, Linghu Kuangyu was also dragged into the water by his sister, and the baby girl Linghushan was even more innocent.
However, even the imperial city is like a jungle. There are always only winners and losers, and there are no so-called innocent people.
Nalanyu was happy when he heard this, rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "If you don't tell me, I almost forgot about this matter. Is Wang Tianhua worried about this matter these days?"
"Is he worried? Are you afraid that I will kill his wife with one sword?"
Li Xiuyuan sighed and said calmly: "Wang Tianhua is not a person who does not know the importance of things. I believe that his wife will never dare to participate in the rebellion of the Linghu family."
Hearing what Li Xiuyuan said, Nalan Yu was startled and quickly replied: "You can't say this nonsense. Even if you give them ten courages, they won't be able to do such a thing."
Both of them are the children of ministers. Not to mention they were meritorious ministers back then. Even the huge families behind them would not allow them to do anything extraordinary.
"What? Are you afraid sometimes? Otherwise, you will be the national teacher from now on?"
Li Xiuyuan's face turned gloomy, thinking that he was just a passer-by after all, and the position of National Preceptor had to be handed over to someone he could trust.
After much deliberation, he really couldn't think of anyone to take over except Nalanyu.
Wang Tianhua is not capable enough, so it would be good if he could manage White Jade City well. Nalan Kunxuan probably won't be happy to stay in the imperial city. There is an imperial academy that is enough for him.
Nalanyu shook his head and replied resolutely: "I don't have enough brains to be a national teacher. Besides, my cultivation is not enough."
"What are you afraid of if you don't cultivate enough? Isn't it me? Let's have a drink at noon today."
Li Xiuyuan said softly: "This matter is not urgent. Just relax. Let's solve your trouble today. The matter between Sister Hua and my godson should be solved by yourself another day. Don't bother me."
Nalanyu's hands trembled, looked at Li Xiuyuan's face, and asked tremblingly: "You won't let me fly in the day, will you?"
Li Xiuyuan laughed angrily at him and laughed loudly: "You are overthinking, then my master, Hua Luoyu, will come back in the spring. If you have any trouble in practice, you can ask her and my master more."
When Li Xiuyuan thinks of flowers falling into the rain, he will think of Ouyang Dongli. He doesn't know if his master has found a flame of his own after going to Tianluo City for so long.
If there is, he can become the sword master of the five realms again. The sword of this guy in front of him is the same as the sword of Hua Tianxia and others.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help laughing.
Patting Nalan Yu on the shoulder, he said: "You also know my master, the Ouyang Dongli you saw in Xuantian back then. He is much younger now..."
Nalan Yu was stunned, looked at him and said blankly: "Are you hinting at me? By the way, that girl was determined to marry you at the beginning, I..."
What appeared in front of Nalanyu's eyes was the slovenly middle-aged man with a vicissitudes of life on his face.
Even if he beat him to death, he would never have thought that the beautiful Hua Luoyu would marry such a man. If these words hadn't come out of Li Xiuyuan's mouth, he would have beaten him up.
Li Xiuyuan slapped away the bottle of wine, looked at the butler who came out and said with a smile, "How about sitting down and having a drink?"
The butler was startled and shook his head: "Master Imperial Master and the General just have a drink. There are two side dishes cooking in the kitchen. I'll go take a look."
Moving to the table, Li Xiuyuan poured a glass of spiritual wine into the cup, looked at him and said with a smile: "After drinking the wine, you don't have to rush home. Just stay here for two hours."
Nalan Yu was not polite, picked up the cup and took a gentle sniff.
He looked at Li Xiuyuan and asked, "Can you give me this jar of wine? Why don't you drink it?"
"No, you can't be too greedy."
Li Xiuyuan smiled slightly and pointed to the tea cup in front of him: "This vat of wine is not only for your family of three, but also for the emperor, the left prime minister, the right prime minister, and your old man..."
Nalanyu opened his mouth wide, unable to say a word for some reason.
According to what Li Xiuyuan said, there were indeed many important people drinking from this vat of wine, including Wang Tianhua and Wei Qingyu, as well as several brothers who had been with him through life and death.
You can't be too greedy. He was taught a lesson today.
He took a shallow sip, looked at Li Xiuyuan and said with a wry smile: "I'm just taking it away, why don't I give it to your sister-in-law and your godson to drink? What am I going to do?"
"This is not something that brother needs to consider."
Li Xiuyuan suppressed his smile and said calmly: "I want you to know that the road to cultivation is long and you cannot rely solely on spiritual medicine. Please remember this sentence."
"Hua Luoyu understands this truth more deeply than you do. From now on, you can ask her for advice more often if you have nothing to do."
Li Xiuyuan took a sip of tea and sighed.
I thought to myself that if I lift each of you to that state in your life, will you continue to practice in the future, and how will you continue to practice at a lower level?
It seemed that he could only leave more truth to Hua Luoyu and his master.
After all, the two of them have lived in Tianluo City for so many years, so they should know better than the guy in front of them.
Nalan Yu thought for a moment and nodded subconsciously.
Looking at the spiritual wine in the cup, he took a deep breath and said with a smile: "I can't let you down. I will bring your godson and goddaughter over tomorrow."
Li Xiuyuan thought for a while, looked at him and said seriously: "You can eat, but we should wait until spring to break the situation. I will arrange the affairs of the two little guys before I leave."
Nalan Yu thought for a while, looked at him and smiled: "That's right, such weather is indeed not suitable for breaking through the realm and overcoming the tribulation."
…
More than ten days have passed in the blink of an eye. It is a severe cold and the snow in the Imperial City has become thicker.
In a few days, it will be the New Year.
The Imperial City has been pacified, and the Imperial City has sent out the news of the Emperor's return to the world. The people of the Imperial City are jumping for joy, and the masters of the other four regions finally heaved a sigh of relief.
After all, the Queen was on top, and she took the hats off their heads at some point.
So regardless of the freezing weather, the four masters of the palace went to the imperial city in person to meet the emperor and express their feelings.
Both the left and right ministers were satisfied with this operation of the four palace masters.
After all, the four masters of the palace were personally appointed by the emperor and the imperial master back then. Even when the queen came to power, the four of them withstood the pressure and did not send troops to the imperial city. This gave them a blank buffer time.
So the emperor held a banquet for the ministers in the palace, and allowed the civil and military ministers to have a satisfactory festival in accordance with the Great Cold season.
The officials who had contributed a lot in putting down the rebellion, such as Wang Tianhua, Wei Qingyu, and several of Nalanyu's deputy generals of the Forbidden Army, were all commended by the emperor at the banquet.
There was only one exception, who did not attend today's grand banquet.
