On this day, heavy snow fell in the sky over the Imperial City. This was something that rarely happened in the Imperial City.
And the people in the city were not thinking about the heavy snowfall, but the faint and disturbing sound of the piano.
The looming sound of the piano made Zuo Xiang frown in the Prime Minister's Mansion. He had never seen such a situation in his life.
Not to mention the several winter thunders that sounded first, he had never heard the sad and solemn sound of the piano.
Looking at the lady in front of her, she murmured: "Qing'er said that she wants to live in the border area with His Highness the Crown Prince and will not return to the imperial city for the time being. What does the lady think?"
The woman sighed: "Why is she following us? Of course she has to follow His Royal Highness."
Xiao Hu also heard this heart-stirring piano sound, so he couldn't help but look at Xiao Hei and asked: "Brother Xiao Hei, where does this piano sound come from?"
Xiao Hei looked at Zhang Liang and sighed: "This is my brother playing that divine song. Back then, my brother grew old overnight after playing this song. I wonder if it will be the same today?"
Only Xiao Hei here understands Li Xiuyuan's thoughts. If there is nothing particularly sad, his brother will never play this divine song.
The last time he heard, it was the news of the death of Yelu Mingzhu's biological father, who made his brother play the piano and grow old for decades.
He didn't want this to happen again.
King Qin in the palace looked at Zhao Gao in front of him and asked: "Zhao Gao, what do you think happened today? Did you catch the assassin last night?"
Zhao Gao shook his head and said: "Thundering in winter has been around since ancient times, it's just a celestial phenomenon. But the assassin seems to have wings. I have not let go of the city since yesterday."
"Where can he hide when he is seriously injured and about to die?"
Zhao Gao murmured in his heart about thunder in winter, but he did not dare to take it seriously in front of the emperor, so he had to talk about him and start a fight.
If the emperor takes this matter seriously, it will be an endless process.
King Qin nodded, waved his hand and said: "You want to see people alive, you want to see corpses when you die, we can't let these guys get away with it anymore."
Zhao Gao accepted the order, bowed his head and exited King Qin's study.
Without King Qin's order, the entire imperial city went door-to-door to investigate early in the morning.
It was found that No. 47 came to the wine shop. Gongsun Qingming and a group of government officials looked at Zhang Liang sitting in the shop and asked: "Zhang Liang, where is the shopkeeper who sells wine?"
Without saying anything, a group of government officials rushed towards the backyard.
Zhang Liang looked at a group of government officials and said coldly: "There are children and women in this backyard. If you scare them, I will never end with you."
After speaking, he turned to look at Gongsun Qingming and replied: "My brother went to see the master early in the morning to discuss Taoism. Why don't you go to the snowy mountain of the academy? Maybe he is still there."
After a while, the yamen servant came out empty-handed, looked at Gongsun Qingming and replied: "Sir, there is no suspect here."
Gongsun Qingming nodded, looked at Zhang Liang and said, "Why are you anxious? I have to run to your house now. Do you want to come with me?"
Zhang Liang picked up a jug of wine from the counter and threw it to Gongsun Qingming: "Just go, whoever is afraid of you, I just picked up my wife for dinner, so I'll take your car."
After saying that, he called out to the yard: "Xiao Hei, come out to look at the store. I'll go home to pick up your sister Shuzi."
Gongsun Qingming was stunned, then followed behind and said with a smile: "I said your boy is now a man? Did the Imperial City not trouble you after Lu Yuan ran away?"
Zhang Liang jumped on the government carriage and said with a smile: "If I don't give it to you, you're just going to go rummaging around in my house. I'm afraid of you, okay?"
A group of people came in a hurry and left in a hurry.
When Xiao Hei and Xiao Hu came out, there was no one outside the door.
Xiaohu thought for a moment and asked, "Brother Xiaohei, are the people in the Imperial City so cruel?"
Xiao Hei touched his head and smiled: "What are you afraid of? They are just here to catch the assassins. It's none of our business. Go back and write, or else you will have to scold me again when you come back."
After listening to a divine song on the snow-capped mountains, the master was so excited that he closed the door with his hand and hid in the house to sleep.
It's so early to wake up and it's so frustrating.
He planned to have a good rest for two days and then go to No. 47 to have a few glasses of spiritual wine.
Today's magical celestial phenomenon was worthy of a discussion between him and Li Xiuyuan, not to mention the troublesome Zhang Liang.
On the top of the Tianshan Mountains, a requiem shocked the world and disturbed the hearts of the emperors in the imperial city. Li Xiuyuan stared blankly at the stone tablet in front of him and was speechless for a long time.
It was that he had long known that Gao Jianli would have such a result, but he never expected that the final cause and effect would fall on him.
At this moment, he couldn't tell whether he was happy or sad.
Ordinarily, after experiencing the deaths of Wu Xin and Jasmine, as well as Yelu Qi leaving him, his heart was already rock-hard and unshakable.
Unexpectedly, when he personally covered the coffin with his own hands today, covering the tens of thousands of years of frozen soil, there was still a lingering sadness in his heart.
He took out the hand towel and carefully wiped the guqin clean, then carefully put it away.
He took another pot of spiritual wine and placed three cups in front of Gao Jianli's grave. He also poured a cup and drank it.
Looking at the hazy sky, he smiled and said: "You are an idiot. I told you clearly that the emperor will not live for a few years. Why can't you understand me?"
"Since he is not a god, he will naturally be subject to birth, old age, sickness and death. Why do you and that idiot Jing Ke gamble with your lives? You are all idiots!"
"That guy was ordered by heaven. When he is alive, he is the agent of Heaven. How can you idiots hurt him?"
While cursing, he sprinkled the spirit wine on the stone tablet.
Seeing the spirit wine sinking into the stone tablet and seeping down, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but continue to curse: "If I'm trying to reason with you two idiots, what's the difference between me and the idiots?"
"If you don't go to die, I will let you watch the wine shop. At least I will see that you will not be short of wine on the day of your death. You idiot, you have made it impossible for me to find a close friend in Fuqin."
He didn't know how long he had been scolding. Li Xiuyuan took another sip of wine, pointed at the stone tablet and cursed: "This is my punishment for you idiot. I'll let you watch the imperial city alone here."
After saying that, he waved his hand and turned around to go under the snow-capped mountains.
Leave and he will never look back.
The stone steps under your feet have a spirit, and even the heavy snow in the sky cannot touch them at all.
Every time Li Xiuyuan steps down a level, the stone steps behind him disappear. As he said, this is a quiet world and a lonely place.
After searching all over the Qin Dynasty, I could not find a single monk who dared to climb to the top of the snow mountain, let alone bury his relatives here.
Even Li Xiuyuan knew that without his master waving his hand to open the stone steps to the sky, it would have taken him at least seven days and seven nights to go up and down the mountain.
Passing by the master's wooden house, I saw that the door was closed.
Li Xiuyuan thought about how the Master was upset because of the incident between the two of him. He was speechless for a moment, then turned around and walked down the mountain.
He wanted to go home and have a few drinks with Zhang Liang to get drunk.
Back at No. 47, the door was tightly closed. Li Xiuyuan opened the door to his house and smiled at Xiao Hei who answered the door: "Have you eaten?"
Xiao Hei stretched out his hand to pull Li Xiuyuan into the door, and locked the door hard with his backhand.
Then he turned around and shouted: "Brother Zhang Liang, dinner is ready."
Then he chuckled and said, "If brother doesn't come back, Xiao Hei and Xiao Hu will starve to death."
Li Xiuyuan pulled him towards the backyard, frowned and asked, "Why are you waiting for me? I won't come back for seven days and seven nights? You idiots."
Hearing the sound, Xiaohu came over and took Li Xiuyuan's hand and shouted, "Sir, why is this gown wet? Could it be that it fell into the big lake in the academy?"
Zhang Liang came over and pulled the two little guys away and said, "Go and change your clothes first. Let's have a drink when we're done."
Li Xiuyuan looked down at the stains all over his body and smiled lightly: "It's not much different from what you thought. Sir, I fell into the lake." After saying hello to Yan and Shuzi, he went into his house.
】
It would be strange if he didn't get covered in mud and water after all this hard work.
Just like what he said to his wife, I am not a god.
After changing into a long gown and shoes, Zhang Liang came to the living room and poured wine. He looked at him and asked, "What happened to you, Master?"
Li Xiuyuan smiled bitterly and said: "Master went to bed, I guess he didn't even eat."
Zhang Liang thought for a while and replied: "It's okay. I'll pick him up in two days. He'll get drunk twice and then he'll live here and not go back to the academy."
There are currently two courtyards, which can accommodate a few more people.
Zhang Liang even brought Shuzi to live there, but in the end Li Xiuyuan scolded him back.
Li Xiuyuan nodded, looked at Xiaohu and said, "Xiaohu, you won't be able to stay in the Imperial City for many years, and the same goes for Master. You have to follow your brother and sister and study in the academy."
Xiaohu nodded solemnly and replied: "Don't worry, sir, I also practiced swordplay with my brother and sister today."
"That's very good."
Li Xiuyuan sighed quietly and said, "When I rest for two days, I will take you to go shopping together and buy more new clothes and more New Year's goods to prepare."
Ms. Yan didn't know what stimulated Li Xiuyuan. In her opinion, these things should have been her responsibility.
When she was about to say something, she saw the look in Shuzi's eyes as she handed it to her, so she had to stop talking.
He picked up the wine glass in front of him and said with a smile: "My husband saved the lives of our mother and son, so I won't say thank you. Let's all have a drink together."
Shuzi also smiled lightly: "Shuzi's life also belongs to my brother. We are all one family."
Zhang Liang laughed: "Shuzi's life is yours, and my Zhang Liang's life is naturally yours too."
Xiao Hei chuckled: "Xiao Hei and his brother's lives are connected."
Li Xiuyuan shook his head, picked up the wine glass and said seriously: "Your lives are all your own, and no one is worth the price you pay with your life."
"I don't want any of your lives, and the same goes for Xiao Hei. I just want you to live well."
Li Xiuyuan drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, looked at Zhang Liang and smiled: "You know what I mean, don't be stupid in the future, like that idiot, it will hurt my nerves."
Zhang Liang patted his chest when he heard this, pointed at Shuzi and said, "Now that I have Shuzi, I will definitely not mess around in the future, so don't worry."
Mrs. Yan put food into the bowls of Xiaohu and Xiaohei, looked at the two little guys and said, "Eat quickly, wash your face and go back to the house to study."
Xiaohu nodded, looked at Li Xiuyuan and asked worriedly: "Sir, are you still going out tomorrow? If you go out, take Xiaohu with you."
Li Xiuyuan touched his head and shook his head: "It's up to you. If I go out, I'll take you and Xiao Hei with me."
"And me!" Shuzi replied not to be outdone: "I also want to buy new clothes and boots."
Zhang Liang laughed and poured the spirit wine into Li Xiuyuan's bowl: "That's good, I even saved money for Shuzi to go shopping."
After dinner, it was already Xu time. Shuzi didn't want to go home. She wanted to stay here with Zhang Liang, so she took her two junior brothers to wash their faces and go back to study early.
Needless to say, Mrs. Yan went to the yard next door to talk to two maids.
Li Xiuyuan and Zhang Liang moved the tea table under the eaves outside the living room and boiled water to make tea.
Thinking about what happened today, I couldn't help but complain: "Zhang Liang, actually I want to get drunk tonight."
Zhang Liang shook his head: "You drank three drinks, plus the ones you drank on the mountain...you have a good drinking capacity, haven't you?"
"No." Li Xiuyuan pointed to the sky and smiled: "Look, the snow has stopped, and the stars and the moon have come out."
However, just for a moment, a voice came from the divine sea, but it was the words left to him by the mysterious old man who was going to Tianshan to enlightenment that day.
Stunned, Li Xiuyuan pointed to the streak of blood in the sky and murmured: "Look, Yinghuo Shouxin!"
