The emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty purged countless ministers overnight, from the inner courtyard of the palace to the imperial city, and even spread to various states and counties.
Li Shi and Emperor Wu finally took the word "forbearance" written by the late emperor from the top of their heads.
For both of them, the future palace is the palace that truly belongs to Emperor Wu.
Even though Li is no longer the empress, she can still live a peaceful and worry-free life for a few days.
And all these ups and downs can't get into No. 47 Xianlai Wine Shop.
Yan'er woke up her brother and sister early in the morning, and the three of them washed up and hurried out the door.
Because Yan'er wanted to eat beef noodles, and Xiao Hei repeatedly whispered in her ears when she was in Beiqi, saying that the beef noodles in the Imperial City of Da Zhou were the most delicious.
The old shopkeeper who was lying in the room did not get up. He knew that Xiao Hei would give it to him and Li Xiuyuan to pack it and bring it back.
Summer is getting hotter and hotter, and the only cool breeze in the early morning is just right for sleepy people to sleep a little longer.
Li Xiuyuan, who didn't know when to rest, didn't get up either. He was still immersed in the conversation he had with his master last night and didn't wake up.
I don’t know how many flowers fell in the dream, but they were flowers from the Immortal Emperor’s family, falling in the backyard of No. 47.
Fortunately, he and Xiao Hei are both people who have plenty of debts and no worries.
If you want to come, come, I don't care.
It wasn't until half past midnight that I lazily got up to wash up.
After brewing a pot of tea, I took two unfinished purple bamboo swords and polished them carefully.
The two little guys came home and were about to practice swordplay with Shuzi and Xiaohei.
And Qingqing told him that she had already started practicing swordsmanship when she was in Northern Qi, but the old shopkeeper really didn't know how to sharpen swords.
It gave her the feeling of holding a bamboo branch and waving it in the wind.
This matter finally fell on him, the elder brother.
It's good to think about it. When she was in the academy, Xiaoqing's temper was the same as hers, and she always called her by her first name. This time, without awakening her memory, she was much more well-behaved.
The old shopkeeper got up, came to sit in front of him, looked at the bamboo sword in Li Xiuyuan's hand and said with a smile: "This sword is much better than my skill. I have never used a sword at all."
Li Xiuyuan smiled: "My first sword was a wooden sword. My husband helped me sharpen it. Later, it was a bamboo sword that I sharpened myself..."
"Boom boom boom!"
While the two were talking, there was a knock on the door outside.
The old shopkeeper waved to Li Xiuyuan: "I'm going to see who's here this early in the morning."
After speaking, he went to the front yard and opened the door of the shop. He saw a black carriage parked on the street, followed by a group of men in black, and a pretty woman standing outside the shop.
He looked at the old shopkeeper and asked: "Senior, where is Xiao Hei?"
When the old shopkeeper heard that he was an acquaintance, he quickly replied: "He took his sister shopping, what do you want from him?"
Hearing this, the woman waved to the two maids behind her: "Hel Qingyu out, be careful..."
The old shopkeeper was startled when he heard this, and quickly stepped forward to help, helping Qingyu, who had her eyes closed, to the backyard.
The person who came was naturally Asuna, the empress. Qingyu woke up in the middle of the night and said only one sentence: "Take me to see Xiao Hei. Then she fainted again."
So early in the morning, Ashina was not allowed to leave the palace, and took Qingyu to No. 47...
Waiting for the maid to settle Qingyu, Asuna looked at the maid and the guard general outside the door and said: "You go back to the palace first, I will stay here for a few days..."
The guard received Li's order and knew that the Queen was going to stay here, so he took two maids and hurried away in the carriage.
Li Xiuyuan placed Qingyu in the guest room at No. 46.
In Ashina's anxiety, she took Qingyu's pulse and checked it carefully.
Finally, he looked at her and said, "It's okay. Her most serious injury was on her chest. Fortunately, it was a broken sword, so it didn't kill her."
In his opinion, Qingyu had taken the elixir. Judging from her current cultivation level, as long as she was hit by a sword in the chest, if she could not be sent to No. 47 overnight, she would be a dead person in the end.
Asuna was shocked when she heard this. She covered the horse and said, "How do you know that it is a broken sword, sir?"
Li Xiuyuan stood up and walked out while smiling: "If you don't believe me, wait until she wakes up and ask her again."
After spending a while, Li Xiuyuan mixed the elixir and handed it to Ashina to apply the medicine on Qingyu.
After washing her hands, she sat at the table and looked at the old shopkeeper with a bitter smile: "As long as she is not distracted for a day, she will still be a mortal. Even if she takes the elixir, she will die."
The old shopkeeper naturally understands this truth.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Why didn't they send Qingyu over last night? It's not like the queen of this place doesn't know."
Li Xiuyuan continued to sharpen his sword while replying: "Either Xiao Hei didn't explain clearly to Qing Yu, or Qing Yu was already unconscious at that time..."
Such an injury made the imperial doctors of the Great Zhou Palace panic, and they could not find a life-saving elixir for a while.
But for Li Xiuyuan, it was a trivial matter.
The old shopkeeper smiled lightly: "In this way, you have experienced almost all the major events of the Zhou Dynasty."
"Not really."
???????????????Li Xiuyuan replied quietly: "Emperor Wu has not yet wielded his sword to destroy Buddha and Taoism. This is the major event I want to witness. As for the final demise of the Zhou Dynasty, I'm not interested in Beiqi."
The old shopkeeper nodded and said to Li Xiuyuan: "When Xiao Hei and I passed by Liangzhou City, the monks in Baiyu Temple were more vicious than the people in the government."
Li Xiuyuan replied quietly: "The blessings accumulated during the Great Qin Dynasty will eventually be lost in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Think about it, the person who destroyed the Buddha is indeed in the Buddhist hall."
"Emperor Wu's destruction of the Buddha was only the effect, but the cause lies with the abbots and elders of the temples."
Li Xiuyuan looked at Azina walking out of No. 40 and asked, "Was the Queen frightened yesterday?"
Asuna nodded, patted her chest and said, "My sister called me to Weiyang Palace early yesterday morning. It wasn't until the dust settled that I told him that it was to clean up the Prime Minister's affairs..."
Li Xiuyuan reached out and poured her a cup of spiritual tea and said, "I knew the cause of this back then. The death of Emperor Ming was inseparable from the Prime Minister."
Only he and Xiao Hei knew the cause of this matter. Even Shuzi, who accompanied her to the desert, didn't know Huiming's true identity.
Not to mention the Li family and Emperor Wu in the palace, as well as Ashina in front of them.
Thinking of this, Li Xiuyuan smiled: "You came at the right time. At least there will be no danger in the palace in the future. You can rest assured to live and practice there."
Ashina sighed quietly, looked at Li Xiuyuan and asked, "Sir, my senior sister will not be in danger, right?"
Li Xiuyuan smiled lightly and said, "If she makes it to No. 47 alive, I won't let her go out lying down."
"Boom!" There was another sound of opening and closing the door.
Before Asuna could get up, Yan'er's voice came from outside: "Grandpa, Yan'er bought you something delicious."
The old shopkeeper laughed and said to Asuna: "The two little darlings are back."
Yan'er rushed into the backyard and saw a strange woman under the eaves. She couldn't help but stepped forward and asked vigilantly: "Who are you? Why did you come to Yan'er's house?"
Ever since he brought Qingqing and Yan'er to Shop No. 17 in the Imperial City of Northern Qi, Xiao Hei had repeatedly warned Yan'er not to talk to strangers.
Let alone bringing a stranger home.
The two sisters had kept this habit since Northern Qi, and even after arriving in the Imperial City of Zhou Dynasty, Xiao Hei also warned them not to go out alone.
Before Li Xiuyuan could explain, before Asuna could introduce herself.
Xiao Hei walked in carrying a food box. He had the same reaction as Yan'er. Xiao Hei looked at Asuna and couldn't help but ask: "You are not from Dazhou, who are you?"
With the experience of Beiqi, Xiaohei just took a look at Asuna's appearance and heard her accent, and knew that she was not from the Zhou Dynasty.
Ashina sighed quietly after hearing this, pointed to the courtyard of No. 46 and said: "I am Qingyu's junior sister. She has been in a coma since yesterday..."
As soon as Xiao Hei heard this, he handed the food box in his hand to the old shopkeeper, took Qingqing's hand and headed to No. 46...
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said, "Sit down and talk. Ashina has already applied medicine to Qingyu, and she hasn't woken up yet."
As soon as Xiao Hei heard his brother speak, he took Qingqing's hand and sat down at the table.
Seeing Asuna laughing sheepishly, she said to Yan'er: "This is the eldest brother's friend and the queen of Dazhou. My sister calls me."
Yan'er, who had just arrived, still listened to Xiao Hei first.
After listening to her brother's explanation, the little girl nodded thoughtfully.
He looked at Asuna and asked: "Then the Queen is also Yan'er's sister? My brother said that when we get to the imperial city, my sister will give Yan'er a gift."
After saying that, he quietly stretched out his little hand.
Li Xiuyuan suppressed his laughter, looked at Xiao Hei and asked seriously: "Is this the sister you trained?"
Xiao Hei curled his lips and shouted: "I just told them that they will meet Sister Shuzi when they arrive in the imperial city. Sister Shuzi is also their sister, so naturally they will I gave them gifts and took them to visit the imperial city."
When Asuna heard this, she couldn't help but giggle.
She held Yan'er's hand and smiled: "Your sister Shuzi is currently accompanying my master and senior sister Gao Yue'er on the snow-capped mountains."
Yan'er nodded and said thoughtfully: "I didn't expect that Sister Yue'er would also be with Sister Shuzi?"
After saying that, he continued to ask: "So, Sister Queen, do you want to give Yan'er a gift?"
Ashina's head grew bigger when she heard this, she looked at Xiao Hei and said, "Sister said that if she sees Xiao Hei, she will ask Senior Sister Qingyu to bring him into the palace, along with her two younger sisters."
It wasn't until Xiao Hei nodded that Ashina looked at Yan'er and Qingqing and said, "Let your brother take you to the palace another day, and I'll make up for the gifts for you, okay?"
When Yan'er heard this, she immediately turned to look at Xiao Hei and asked, "So, brother, are you going to take Yan'er to the palace?"
Xiao Hei thought for a while and replied: "Don't worry now, wait until your sister Qingyu's injury improves."
Qingqing, who had been silent all this time, couldn't help but ask: "When my sister and I left the palace yesterday, wasn't Sister Qingyu doing well? Didn't my brother save Sister Qingyu?"
From her point of view, if her brother took action, how could Qingyu be injured?
How did Ashina know that Xiao Hei was also outside the palace yesterday and saved Qingyu's life?
In her opinion, since Xiao Hei took action, how could Qingyu be seriously injured? He almost died in Weiyang Palace.
Xiao Hei shook his head and said: "She is an idiot. She knows she can't beat someone but still fights hard. She deserves to suffer a little. If she gets hurt a few more times, she won't suffer again in the future."
Li Xiuyuan naturally understood what Xiao Hei meant.
It's just that it's hard for him to reveal Xiao Hei's hard work and his hidden secret of having a magical talisman.
After all, Asuna's last chance lies with the old Taoist priest. In the end, he and Xiao Hei are just passers-by.
After hearing her brother's explanation, Qingqing couldn't help laughing and said, "Sister Qingyu is indeed an idiot."
Li Xiuyuan frowned, looked at Xiao Hei and asked, "Did your brother also teach Qingqing and Yan'er their mantras?"
Before Xiao Hei could say anything, Ashina looked at Li Xiuyuan and frowned.
He said softly: "Sir, Asuna has a problem right now and needs your help."
Li Xiuyuan was stunned and asked, "What's the matter? Tell me?"
Asuna took a breath and said seriously: "Sister said that she has been in trouble for a long time, and she wants sir to help her find a way..."
