That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 577
Xu Beiyou didn't go back to Han Xuan's mansion, but went to a mansion not far from Han's mansion.

This is the "wedding room" of the two.

Although the marriage of a princess is called "marrying down", they are still married after all. Xu Beiyou is not a door-to-door son-in-law, so naturally he can't live in the princess's mansion, so His Majesty the emperor bestowed a mansion, which was originally the mansion of Princess Ling'an of the former dynasty. The Prince Qi's Mansion, which is being rebuilt, is not far away. After the two get married, Xu Beiyou will move here from Han Xuan's mansion.

Xiao Zhinan is very interested in his new home, and has been personally supervising the renovation here for the past few days. When Xu Beiyou came over, he didn't show any clues on his face, but the delicate Xiao Zhinan still saw something unusual at a glance, but she didn't It was unnecessary to ask each other, but took Xu Beiyou for a leisurely stroll in the new home.

The two walked around the screen wall, passed the moon gate, and went to the back mansion. Xiao Zhinan walked slightly ahead, introducing him to the mansion in a soft voice, and Xu Beiyou followed, somewhat absent-mindedly coping.

Walking to the Houfu, there is no accident that there is a artificially dug lake here. Xiao Zhinan stopped and looked at the sparkling lake in the setting sun, and said: "Nangui, do you know who Princess Ling'an is? She is The younger sister of Emperor Shenzong of Great Zheng in the previous dynasty, she later married Duke Anguo as his successor, and later, she gave birth to a son named Xiao Jin."

Xu Beiyou asked, "Wei King Xiao Jin?"

Xiao Zhinan nodded and said: "An Guogong of the Dazheng Dynasty is my Daqi's Wuzu Emperor, Xiao Jin is the half-brother of the emperor's grandfather, and also my great-uncle. I have known it for five hundred years, and I have known it for five hundred years, I don't know if it is true or not, I only know that he is a person who is regarded as a serious threat by the emperor's ancestor and father."

Xu Beiyou asked curiously, "Your Majesty gave us the old mansion of King Wei's mother. Is there any reason for that?"

Xiao Zhinan shook his head and said, "Maybe there is, but I didn't see it."

Xu Beiyou suddenly remembered something, and said: "When I first met you, you told me that princes, generals, and relatives were kind to each other. I didn't understand what you meant at the time. Later, I started to study, and I have been doing it until now. I don't seek a deep understanding, I just hope that everything is involved. It took me two years to read all the major classics and historical classics, and I benefited a lot."

Xiao Zhinan said with a smile: "Reading makes one enlightened. This is true. It doesn't matter whether you are a pure literati or a martial artist. Reading more books, whether it is history books, sage classics, or miscellaneous books, is not harmful. "

Xu Beiyou hummed.

After walking around the entire mansion, it was already dark, Xu Beiyou said softly, "I'll take you back."

Xiao Zhinan nodded, his eyes were full of tenderness that could no longer be concealed.

Xu Beiyou stretched out his hand to hold her hand, a smile finally appeared on his face.

Coming out from the side door, there was already a carriage waiting here, and the two got into the carriage together.

Just now, I didn't feel anything when I was walking, but after getting into the carriage, I felt a bit chilly. Xiao Zhinan, who was wearing a cloak, held a small hand stove, and let out a breath of white air.

Xu Beiyou sat aside, put his hands on his knees, and said slowly, "Zhinan, I saw Qi Xianyun today."

Xiao Zhinan was not surprised, but just hummed lightly.

"This arrogant girl from the Taoist sect..." Xu Beiyou hesitated for a moment, "It is indeed a bit domineering."

Xiao Zhinan said with a smile: "When I went to Qizhou, she happened to be recovering from her injuries at the Qizhou Daomen. At that time, the two of us also met, and there was no real result. To use an inappropriate analogy, I am a carp in the river, and I cannot escape. The cage that comes out of the water, she is a bird in the sky, and she is destined not to enter the water, even if the two of us meet occasionally, we are destined not to be friends, in the final analysis, we still have different ways and do not seek each other."

Xu Beiyou smiled, "Just like Ling Yun and I, I met this headmaster's direct disciple in Yuzhou, and we had some fights. It's not like we're sympathetic to each other, but at least I won't hate it. It's a pity that it's the same sentence, Different paths, no collusion."

Xiao Zhinan asked: "Since you are not of the same way, why does Qi Xianyun want you?"

Xu Beiyou hesitated for a moment, exhaled heavily, and said, "It's Zhiyun's business."

Xiao Zhinan nodded slightly, and didn't continue to ask, let alone say anything more about this matter.

She also believed that Xu Beiyou could handle this matter well so that neither side would hold any grudges.

The two were speechless, each thinking about their own thoughts.

The carriage stopped in front of the Princess Mansion, Xu Beiyou helped Xiao Zhinan get off the carriage.

"Duanmu Ruisheng looked for you?" Xiao Zhinan asked softly.

"Yes." Xu Beiyou nodded, without denying it.

"What price did he offer?" Xiao Zhinan asked bluntly, without any surprise, as if he had expected this.

She was born in the emperor's family, and she has been exposed to it since she was a child. In addition, she is inherently talented and sees these things far more thoroughly than ordinary people. Duanmu Yu is Duanmu Ruisheng's old son and the only son. Watching him die helplessly, it is reasonable to let go of his old face and ask Xu Beiyou for help.

Xu Beiyou shook his head and said, "I refuse."

Xiao Zhinan stretched out his hands from the cloak, straightened Xu Beiyou's clothes, and said softly, "Nangui, I don't care about Duanmuyu's life or death, nor do I care about those who want my life. What I care about is the people in front of me. If you can exchange Duanmuyu's life for what you want, then you have earned it, and you can just let it go and don't pay too much attention to my thoughts."

Xu Beiyou was silent for a long time without speaking.

Xiao Zhinan withdrew his hand and asked, "Surely what Xiao Bai said?"

Xu Beiyou shook his head and said with a smile, "No."

Xiao Zhinan stopped entangled in this topic, and said: "The current situation is no different from that in the troubled times of the past. The imperial court and the Taoist sect have jointly established countless rules and regulations in the world. Under the suppression of these rules, it is difficult for monks to do whatever they want. The Earth Immortals at the peak of the monks are not among them. If the Great Sword Immortal Shangguan Xianchen had not died in the battle of Dingding, the current Jianzong must be in a different situation, so you want to follow the path he walked. Fundamentally, it’s not wrong.”

Speaking of this, Xiao Zhinan paused, and with a slightly heavier tone, he continued: "Let's compare you with Great Sword Immortal. Great Sword Immortal achieved little success in swordsmanship when he was 20 years old, and was later suppressed by Xu Lin, the lord of the Sword Sect at the time. , had to dormant for 20 years, after the mastery of swordsmanship, he was suppressed by Zichen, the old head teacher of Taoism, and hibernated for another 20 years, the way of swordsmanship was finally perfected, invincible in the world, Shangguan Xianchen is better than exiled immortals. , it still took around 60 years to reach the world, so what you need most right now is time."

Xu Beiyou said with emotion: "Yes, if you give me 40 years, no, as long as you give me 20 years, I can turn today's Jianzong upside down."

Xiao Zhinan said softly: "Mr. Gongsun met me at the Liao Palace and told me not to drag you into the muddy water prematurely. Presumably it was to give you enough time to grow up."

Xu Beiyou didn't speak.

Xiao Zhinan said softly: "Mr. Gongsun is no longer here, and you have to shoulder this heavy burden alone. I don't want to drag you down."

Xu Beiyou put his hands on her shoulders, looked down at her flawless face, and said slowly, "Thank you."
