After drinking three courses of tea, Xiang Yu finally understood the current situation of Young Master Su at the border and some of the reasons why Miss Xiangfu did not want to return to the imperial city, and then he sighed leisurely.
He said unwillingly: "It seems that someone wants to harm Mr. Su, brother."
Li Xiuyuan smiled lightly and said, "That's how it is when you are born into an imperial family."
Zhang Liang saw that he couldn't stop talking about what the two were talking about, so he got up and walked to the next door: "I'm going to see Master, you two can talk slowly."
As soon as Zhang Liang left, there was a sound of a carriage outside the store, and then a man in black walked in.
He bowed to Xiang Yu and said, "Sir, a stranger came to the inn just now to find you and gave him a letter."
After saying that, he took out a letter of animal skin sealed with fire paint and handed it to Xiang Yu.
Xiang Yu reached out to take it, waved his hand and said, "I won't go back tonight. I'm going to stay at brother Zhang Liang's house for a few days. You can rest in the inn for a few days."
The man in black cupped his hands and looked back: "In this case, we will wait for you at the inn."
Seeing the carriage slowly leaving, Xiang Yu lowered his head and read a line of writing on the animal skin: "No, this is for Brother Gongzi Dan. Who in the imperial city would know that I am going to find His Highness the Crown Prince?"
Li Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment, then said: "Is he a god? I just told you about His Highness the Crown Prince."
Xiang Yu shook his head: "I haven't decided yet whether I want to go to the border to find him. Someone is thinking about me now? Or is he thinking about Mr. Su?"
Holding the empty animal skin bag, Xiang Yu resisted and took out a knife to pick up the fire paint, intending to find out.
"Wait!" Li Xiuyuan suddenly stretched out his hand to block Xiang Yu's hand.
He took the animal skin bag over and said quietly: "Let me take a look first, and you can take a look later."
Xiang Yu's face was shocked, and he couldn't recover for a while, and blurted out: "Is it possible that there is still danger? Is it just a letter? How about this..."
Before Xiang Yu could finish his sentence.
The moment Li Xiuyuan opened the animal skin bag, a bolt of lightning flew out of the bag and struck Li Xiuyuan head-on.
Then, the moment Li Xiuyuan dodged, there was a "ding!" sound, and a black iron needle shot into the wooden board behind Li Xiuyuan.
At this moment, Xiang Yu felt like he was dead, dying under this iron needle.
The moment Xiang Yu opened fire, Li Xiuyuan suddenly felt a terrifying aura.
He immediately grabbed the beast bag, and sure enough, there was a trap hidden in this envelope... If Li Xiuyuan hadn't been here, neither Xiang Yu nor Young Master Su would have been able to escape.
At this moment, Xiang Yu, who was sitting opposite Li Xiuyuan, felt that he had died for once.
Xiang Yu should have died, or the young master Su who opened the letter was stabbed by an iron needle and could not survive for half an hour.
But no one expected that the last person to open the bag would be Li Xiuyuan, who was on guard.
With his level of cultivation, even if he was stabbed by this iron needle, it would not be able to do anything to him.
Li Xiuyuan reached out and gently removed the iron needle from the iron board behind him, put it in front of his nose, smelled it, and then threw it into the small stove on the table.
Xiang Yu sat motionless on the chair, like a sculpture, his whole body was soaked with cold sweat, and he did not dare to make a sound.
Li Xiuyuan gently poured out the contents of the beast bag, but it turned out to be a launching mechanism and a piece of white silk.
The mechanism was made of bamboo. Although it was exquisite, Li Xiuyuan didn't like it, so he threw it into the small stove.
I picked up the silk and smelled it. It was not poisonous.
Spreading out the silk and placing it on the table in front of Xiang Yu, Li Xiuyuan looked at the three words on it and sneered: "You are dead!"
When Xiang Yu came back to his senses, he stretched out his head and saw three words written on the silk. He muttered: "You are dead."
"Bah!" Xiang Yu slammed the table and said angrily, "Who is trying to kill me?"
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said calmly: "That's not necessarily the case. It's probably Young Master Su's enemy who heard that you were looking for him. He was betting that you would go to the Great Wall to meet him if you didn't win.
Him. "
"If you can imagine that you are going to the Great Wall, others can naturally imagine it as well. It's just human nature."
Li Xiuyuan sighed: "The world is dangerous. From now on, you have to be careful about everything you do. Even the people you know well must be on guard."
Xiang Yu shook his head: "They are my family and will not harm me."
Li Xiuyuan chuckled: "But they don't know that others want to harm you?"
When Xiang Yu heard this, he immediately understood the reason and said in a deep voice: "Are they using a borrowed knife to kill people? They changed hands several times, but in the end they couldn't find out."
"It's good if you understand this."
Li Xiuyuan thought for a while, poured him a glass of the spiritual wine brewed in Tianshan, and said calmly: "You must not have the intention of harming others, and you must have the intention of guarding against others."
Xiang Yu picked up the wine glass in front of him and took a sip, then frowned and asked, "This wine has a faint floral aroma. I have never drunk this wine before. It's a good wine!"
"There is only one glass of good wine. This is what I brewed in Tianshan. What you drink is the last glass."
Li Xiuyuan sighed in his heart, thinking that no matter whether Xiang Yu in front of him could successfully gather his energy and become a monk in this world, he would still help him.
As for what will happen in the future, I'm afraid Fang Tiandao will no longer allow him to stay here anymore.
Xiang Yu sighed and laughed: "Xiang Yu survived the catastrophe today and owes his life to Sir."
Li Xiuyuan waved his hand and said: "You don't owe anyone, your life is your own... Just leave the imperial city tomorrow, and don't think about going to the border to find Young Master Su."
"Why?" Xiang Yu frowned and said, "I really want to see him."
Li Xiuyuan shook his head: "Absolutely not. As long as you don't go looking for him, you two will be safe. I believe I won't harm you."
Xiang Yu sighed and said, "It seems like this is the best we can do."
"You are being targeted. You are not an ordinary person who can create such a trap. You cannot bear the poison on this arrow. Only returning to your hometown is safe."
Li Xiuyuan sighed, wondering who wanted the lives of this guy and Gongzi Dan?
Could it be that the guy in the imperial city couldn't wait any longer?
Both Zhang Liang and Xiang Yu drank a few more drinks that night. Li Xiuyuan brought several jugs of wine to Xiang Yu and asked Zhang Liang to take him home, but left Shuzi at No. 47.
Xiang Yu clasped his hands and left, following Zhang Liang.
The night was already quiet, and Mrs. Yan arranged for Xiao Hei and Xiao Hu to have a rest. Only Master, Shuzi and Li Xiuyuan were left in the living room.
Li Xiuyuan looked at the Master and said calmly: "Someone in the Imperial City wants to use Xiang Yu's hand to assassinate His Highness the Crown Prince..."
After saying that, he put the iron needle that had been burned in the fire on the table and slowly told the scene that happened during the day. Shuzi and Master were stunned when they heard it.
Shuzi thought for a while and said, "If it were me, I would definitely be dead."
Li Xiuyuan smiled lightly: "You and Zhang Liang will encounter many different situations in the future, and you must learn to protect yourself."
The Master thought for a while, frowned and asked, "Do you have anything to say when you leave Shuzi?"
Li Xiuyuan sighed and said leisurely: "I have something to tell you two... I'm afraid Xiaohei and I won't be able to stay for long. If I leave, Master will go back to the academy..."
"I will hand over the arrays in these two courtyards to Shuzi. If you feel lonely in the future, you can come here to live in seclusion... If Master leaves early, please make arrangements for my disciple to study in the academy..."
Regarding Xiaohu, Li Xiuyuan had a lot of helplessness.
Seeing a vision coming from the sky and what happened to Xiang Yu, he was afraid that he would not be able to wait until the little tiger grew up.
Master frowned upon hearing this: "Where are you and Xiao Hei going? To the Tianshan Mountains outside the desert?"
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said, "Xiao Hei and I are from another world. We came to Qin just to see Master's Confucianism and Taoism, and the world under the rule of King Qin..."
Upon hearing this, Shuzi couldn't help but cover her mouth, and after a while she said, "It turns out that eldest brother is really a god!"
Li Xiu
Yuan smiled lightly: "I'm not that yet, my master is."
"Shuzi, you should also prepare to leave the imperial city as soon as possible and go to Xiapi with Zhang Liang... After you leave, arrange for Xiaohu and his family to live in your current residence. There is also a large formation there."
After a pause, Li Xiuyuan continued: "Originally, I thought about this for a few years before saying it. After what happened today, I don't know when I will suddenly leave with Xiao Hei..."
When the Master heard this, he sighed leisurely: "Sir's world is really magical, it opened my eyes."
Shuzi sighed and asked cautiously: "Brother Xiaohu, what are your plans for the future? Do you want to take him to Xiapi with us?"
Li Xiuyuan shook his head: "Let him study in the academy. His karma is in the desert. When he grows up, he will go back with his mother. You don't have to worry about him..."
Shuzi nodded and asked, "Do you want to tell Zhang Liang?"
"Not yet."
Li Xiuyuan thought for a while and said, "You can tell Xiao Hei after I leave... Also, if one day, let him go to Fengyi, Pei County to find Liu Bang..."
Upon hearing this, Shuzi frowned and said, "My husband is good friends with Master Su and Xiang Yu. This..."
When the master heard this, he said thoughtfully: "Sister, just follow your master's arrangements and don't ask any questions... In the years to come, you must be a good helper to Zhang Liang and make decisions for him at critical moments. "
When Shuzi heard this, she couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder my brother can save Shuzi back."
Li Xiuyuan smiled lightly and said, "Although I saved your life, I hope that one day you won't hate me."
Shuzi was startled, shook her head desperately, and then asked, "Brother, will we see you again?"
"maybe."
Li Xiuyuan looked at the half-cup of remaining tea in his hand and said softly: "When you grow old, if you go back to No. 47, maybe we will see each other again."
The master drank up the spiritual tea in the cup in one gulp and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that sir, he traveled across the starry sky just to see the old man. I think it's worth it."
Li Xiuyuan looked at him and smiled: "Master is a great sage who is expected to become a saint. You cannot belittle yourself and make me feel embarrassed."
The Master couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "Over the years, a few people have become saints. Thanks to Master's blessing, I will take Shuzi to practice for another two years, and then I will live in seclusion."
Shuzi became anxious when she heard this: "Are the eldest brother and the teacher both going to leave Shuzi? What should we do? Even Brother Xiaohu has to leave Shuzi."
Li Xiuyuan reached into his arms, handed Shuzi a brocade bag, and said seriously: "There are two talismans in it. When you think you can't survive, use it to save your life."
Seeing that war would break out in a few years, Li Xiuyuan could ignore Zhang Liang, but he wanted to give Shuzi a reason and hope to live.
"Remember, only you can enter No. 47 here. When you get tired of wandering outside, just go home."
Li Xiuyuan said quietly: "You know, No. 47 is not afraid of the wind and rain of a hundred years."
The master patted the table gently and said with emotion: "Shuzi, sir, I really regard you as my own sister. I have even thought about things for you a hundred years from now."
Shuzi nodded slightly: "Brother is Shuzi's biological brother."
"When the New Year is over, you and I will work harder to fill up all the wine tanks on the ground and underground. In this way, you can still guard No. 47 and be a wine shopkeeper."
Li Xiuyuan looked at his master and smiled and said, "I have never had the ability to drink, but I never thought that this skill would one day help my sister get through a difficult day."
The Master sighed again: "Walking with you, I will understand the great road."
