The parting arrow was Li Xiuyuan's gift to Prince Su and hundreds of thousands of Qin soldiers. It was also a way for him to settle the old grudge between Xiaohu and King Shanyu that happened in the Yuezhi Dynasty.
This was the hidden arrow that Li Xiuyuan left on the desert outside the Great Wall that day, but it was also an open arrow.
But if Chanyu doesn't come with his army, the big hole he dug will be in vain.
It's just that he didn't expect that this guy was not willing to fail, and he really wanted to lead an army of 200,000 to the Great Wall to fight the opponent again.
The shocking explosion in the early morning was a huge accident. The right general was seriously injured. Jin Buhuan and Shan Yu Dawu luckily escaped and were not affected by the explosion.
One-third of the two hundred thousand troops were damaged in one day, and all the food and grass turned into a ball of flame and rose to the sky.
Before a big battle even started, the Xiongnu army had to announce its withdrawal.
This is because Young Master Su is timid. If Li Xiuyuan were the commander-in-chief of Da Qin, he would have been able to annihilate the Xiongnu army in front of the Great Wall in this battle.
It was two days later when Master Su returned to Prince Village, and he learned from the two women that Li Xiuyuan, who had left, wanted to give him a big gift.
Only then did he understand the source of the earth-shattering explosions.
At this point, the couple believed Li Xiuyuan's explanation, and the young master Su told him that in the days to come, he wanted Miss Xiangfu to become a sister with Meng Jiang and practice together.
At this time, the group had already passed Mingyue City. Li Xiuyuan rented a carriage and lay on it thinking about the things in the imperial city.
Along the way, Xiaohu would either stay with his mother for a while, or run to his husband's carriage behind him, read poems and books with him for an hour, and then go to Mr. Yan's place to sleep.
But he was the happiest because he was far away from the desert and saw that he was getting closer and closer to the imperial city.
The group of people walked on the official road back to the imperial city, taking their time.
But the masters at Imperial City Academy were extremely anxious. The most anxious one was Zhang Liang, and Xiao Hei was also at a loss, looking down the mountain all day long in worry.
Because Shuzi is sick.
Just when Master was planning to arrange a wedding for Zhang Liang and Shuzi, Shuzi, who was already in the foundation-building stage, fell ill inexplicably.
Famous doctors in the imperial city were invited to look at it, but no one could come up with the final cause.
It was the master who used his own elixir and Li Xiuyuan's elixir, and even Xiao Hei returned to the No. 47 wine shop, poured some of his brother's brew, and gave Shuzi to drink.
It has no effect at all.
Seeing Shuzi looking haggard and losing weight day by day, Zhang Liang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. He searched the entire imperial city medical clinic, but could not find a life-saving prescription.
In desperation, he had no choice but to ask the missing master in his dream, asking him to seek a cure from the old man in his dream.
Shuzi had been ill since early spring, and she had to endure the illness until the Qingming Festival.
There are still two days before Qingming Festival. Zhang Liang, who has never forgotten, finally waited in his dream for the old man who had disappeared for a long time.
Seeing that the master was placed on the snowy mountain, Zhang Liang couldn't help but ask: "Master, have you returned to the imperial city? Are you on the top of the mountain owned by the master?"
The old man shook his head: "I don't know how far away from the imperial city, how can I come back? Why do I talk about it all day long?"
The old man is on the top of the Tianshan Mountains, looking for an opportunity to break through and ascend. How can he return to the secular world of the imperial city?
When Lao Liang heard this, he couldn't help but pulled the old man and cried: "Master, please save Shuzi. I have asked all the good doctors in the imperial city, but even Master can't do anything."
Unexpectedly, the old man shook his head at him and replied quietly: "Don't say that there is nothing you can do as a teacher. Even if I come back, it will be too late. What that girl lacks is vitality."
After thinking for a while, he said: "This is called Tian's jealousy of beauty. God gave her a beautiful face and clever wisdom, so he will definitely give her something less."
Li Xiuyuan didn't know about this, but the old man had expected it.
This was his carelessness. He didn't tell Zhang Liang and forgot to tell Li Xiuyuan, because in his opinion, as long as Li Xiuyuan was in the imperial city, these were just trivial matters. But he didn't expect that Li Xiuyuan would run into the desert like him.
Thinking of this, the old man smiled bitterly and said: "There is only one person in the world who can help you with this matter."
"Who? My brother? He is now at the Great Wall?"
Zhang Liang was so anxious that he shouted loudly: "Even if I take Shuzi to the Great Wall to find Young Master Su, it will be too late, right?"
"You idiot!"
The old man sighed and said faintly: "This is also the calamity that Shuzi deserves in her life. Let me arrange the marriage for you tomorrow. Let's celebrate first and use your vitality to awaken her vitality..."
"Then what? Could it be that I take Shuzi to the Great Wall again?"
Zhang Liang was so anxious that he slapped his thigh and said, "Let's celebrate first, and then I'll take her to find my brother for help."
Come and try it quickly. 】
The old man shook his head and said, "No, let Shuzi go back to No. 47 Courtyard after you finish the wedding ceremony. If I'm not wrong, the immortal will be back soon."
In the old man's opinion, the vitality of Liquor No. 47 is much more than that of the snowy mountain where the Master is.
After all, the snowy mountains are cold and cold, which is not suitable for Shuzi at the moment.
Zhang Liang was overjoyed when he heard this and shouted: "My brother is going home?!"
With a loud roar, Zhang Liang woke up from his dream... rushed into the master's living room and shouted loudly: "Teacher, please prepare a wedding for me and my husband."
The master was stunned, looked at him and asked quietly: "Chongxi, where did you hear this heretical secret?"
Zhang Liang was so anxious that his head was sweating, and he quickly said: "This is what my master who disappeared for many days and went to the desert said in his dream. He said that he would first bring back Shuzi's vitality with Chongxi, and then go back to No. 47 to wait for me. That brother returns to the city."
The master was shocked when he heard this and blurted out: "Xiao Hei's brother is going back to the imperial city?"
"My master is right. He met my brother in the desert. Please help us husband and wife and save Shuzi's life."
The master sighed after hearing this and said quietly: "Then what are you waiting for? Go back to your house quickly. It will be done today."
So at noon that day, when the Yang Qi was just under his head, Zhang Liang went to his house to get married to Shuzi with the help of his maid.
Because everything was simple, no guests were invited.
The only witnesses were the Master and Xiao Hei, as well as the housekeeper and two maids.
While the cook was stunned, she didn't even treat the master to a glass of wedding wine, so she drove the carriage to take Shuzi all the way to No. 47 Xianlai Wine Shop.
There was already Shuzi's own room here. Xiao Hei reached out to help open the door and opened his brother's formation. After settling Shuzi, the group sat under the tree in the yard and cooked a pot of tea.
Zhang Liang looked at the Master and murmured to himself: "As long as Shuzi recovers from her illness, Zhang Liang will owe the teacher and my brother a life."
Xiao Hei looked at him and shook his head, frowning and replied: "Brother Zhang Liang, don't worry, Xiao Hei has already smelled his scent."
On the carriage, Li Xiuyuan sneezed.
I turned around in my mind several times and couldn't find anyone who missed me, so I had to ask in a daze: "Master, could it be that Mu Mu and Yu'er's Nirvana is not going well?"
After a long time in the divine sea, the old Taoist priest's voice came: "No, it's Zhang Liang from the Imperial City of Qin who is thinking of you. His wife has lost her vitality and is about to die tomorrow at the end of the day."
"Buzz!" sounded, and Li Xiuyuan felt like stars were popping up in front of his eyes.
She was so shocked that she screamed: "Do you want to be so cruel? She is a monk in the Foundation Establishment Realm, how come she lacks vitality?"
The old Taoist priest replied calmly: "This is her fate, not a disease. Don't you know the loss of vitality? Have you never experienced it in Xuanwu Continent?"
Li Xiuyuan sighed and said: "The old turtle in the prehistoric world gave me my disciple's lack of vitality. I don't know where he is now."
The old Taoist priest chuckled and said: "I didn't expect you to still remember that old guy. Don't worry, he won't die. You'd better think about hurrying back to the imperial city tomorrow." The old Taoist priest also knows that if there is anyone in this world who can restore life, The best medicine is naturally the divine water brought back from the sacred mountain at the end of the Wanli Netherworld River.
The yin and yang of heaven and earth, the source of life for all things in heaven and earth, heal Shuzi's lack of vitality. In the opinion of the old Taoist priest, it is really overkill.
But apart from this, Li Xiuyuan didn't have any elixir that could make up for his vitality.
There was no other way, so the old Taoist priest had no choice but to reply to the request of his precious disciple.
When Li Xiuyuan heard this, he smiled lightly: "Fortunately, everything is in time." He can return to the imperial city before noon tomorrow, not to mention Shuzi can last until midnight.
Unexpectedly, the old Taoist priest said again: "Logically speaking, she is already dead by now. Unexpectedly, that mysterious old guy from Da Qin actually gave Zhang Liang an idea to let the boy get married in exchange for the girl's chance of life."
When Li Xiuyuan heard this, he sighed quietly and said: "If you keep thinking about it, there will be repercussions. That Zhang Liang is not a pig, he knows how to save lives with his master."
"After finishing this matter, don't bother with anything else, unless you want to leave with Xiao Hei now."
The old Taoist priest said coldly: "You didn't even listen to a word of what I said to you. You even took it upon yourself to run to the Forgotten River to meddle in other people's business. You didn't feel tired and panicked."
Li Xiuyuan chuckled: "That miserable couple was also the cause and effect of my disciple's death on the Shura battlefield?"
The old Taoist priest was stunned for a moment, then laughed and cursed: "The cause and effect is empty, so don't worry about it anymore. Remember, they are now people of the underworld."
Gradually, there was no more voice of the old Taoist priest in the sea of gods.
There was one thing that he was too lazy to tell Li Xiuyuan and could not tell Li Xiuyuan, that is, if Li Xiuyuan took action to save Shuzi's life, he would have to spend the pure essence of the divine water.
Instead of giving Zhang Liang and Confucius the diluted divine water to drink.
In this way, Shuzi and Zhang Tolerant would only have a one-life love relationship, and Zhang Liang could no longer accompany Shuzi to conquer the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
This is Zhang Liang's fate. The old Taoist priest cannot disrupt the way of heaven in this world.
Shuzi's life was partly related to Li Xiuyuan, so he had no choice but to turn a blind eye.
On this day, it was not until halfway through the hour that Li Xiuyuan took Xiaohu to the inn. This was something unbelievable in the eyes of the Yan family.
Because in the past, before it reached Youshi, the group was already sitting in the inn making tea and resting.
However, seeing that she was getting closer and closer to the imperial city, she couldn't ask more questions. She just wanted to rush to the imperial city and let Xiaohu go to the academy to learn the six arts.
Even if they spend ten years studying in the Imperial City and let Xiaohu grow up here, it is still worth it for the mother and son.
Li Xiuyuan did not say clearly that there was someone at home waiting for him to save lives. Since it was still too late, he would not be anxious.
Otherwise, he would have galloped all night towards the imperial city.
Shuzi, like Xiao Ling'er in Huangquan Village, was also his sister. How could he watch her die in Zhang Liang's arms?
It rains heavily during the Qingming Festival, even in the imperial city of Da Qin.
When two carriages and one horse galloped slowly into the imperial city, a misty spring rain was floating in the sky, and there was a faint fragrance of flowers in the wind.
It seems to be telling the wanderers returning from afar that if they don’t come back, spring will be gone.
Xiaohu didn't mind the spring rain that filled the sky and made passersby sad. Instead, he got out of his head and looked at the huge towers of the Imperial City in the rain and fog. He turned to look at Li Xiuyuan and asked, "Sir, is this the Imperial City of Qin?"
Li Xiuyuan looked at him and smiled lightly: "If you live here for eight to ten years, will you feel lonely?"
Xiaohu shook his head and replied: "No, as long as my husband and mother are here, Xiaohu will not be lonely."
At a quarter of an hour, two carriages stopped in front of the No. 47 Xianlai Winery along the way from Jinguanfang.
Before Li Xiuyuan could get out of the car with Xiao Hu in his arms, Xiao Hei's scream came from the yard: "Zhang Liang, come quickly, my brother is back."
