Long Sword and Jun Wu

Chapter 114 The Emperor's Invitation

Li Longji saw that the black-clothed assassins had almost been eliminated and a few were captured alive. He turned back to the burly man and said, "Xuanli, I will leave those people to you and send them to Dali Temple for interrogation."
This burly man was none other than Longwu General Chen Xuanli. Like Ge Fushun, he was a close confidant of Li Longji. He nodded in agreement and commanded the left and right military guards he brought to escort away the captured man in black.

Gongsun Wan saw that many guards were also injured, and said to Li Longji, "Your Excellency, Saint. Saint, I see that some people are injured. I will go and apply medicine and bandages on them."
Li Longji saw that she treated the injured equally and had no intention of clinging to the powerful. He admired her very much and said with a smile, "Then I'll help you, Miss Gongsun, go ahead."
Gongsun Wan skipped to treat other injured people without facing any pressure from the royal family.

After settling the business matters, Li Longji was just thinking about private matters, not realizing that he had just experienced a large-scale assassination.

He glanced at Gongsun Ling and asked Gao Lishi beside him, "Who is in charge here? Where is he?"

Eunuch Gao Lishi smiled and replied: "Everyone, this is my first time here, but I just saw the lady who calls herself Xiugu standing on the stage to speak. I think she is the boss of Qianyi Pavilion, so I will ask someone to bring her here." "
There was a chaos just now, and all the guests in the hall fled. Xiugu, Fengxiang and the dancers also escaped.Gao Lishi ordered the left and right military guards to look for someone, but found the two people and all the dancers behind the stage, but they did not escape.

A group of dancers were brought to kneel down in front of Li Longji. Gongsun Ling felt relieved after seeing that Xiugu, Su Yu and Li Ying were all fine.The strange thing is that even Fengxiang and Na Shui Linglong did not escape and followed Xiugu and the others.

Li Longji glanced at Shui Linglong, his eyes drifted over, and his eyes were fixed on Xiugu, "You call me Xiugu, right? This Qianyi Pavilion belongs to you?"

Xiu Gu had been frightened to death, her face was pale and silent. Su Yu gave her a gentle push, and she came back to her senses and said tremblingly: "Yes, yes, back to the saint, it's mine."
"Then, this sword dance Gongsun Ling is also one of yours?" Li Longji pointed at Gongsun Ling and asked.

When his name was suddenly called, Gongsun Ling shuddered and had no choice but to walk to Xiu Gu and kneel down as well.Pei Min, Chu Tai and Li Bai had no choice but to kneel down with them.

Xiu Gu glanced at Gongsun Ling and then at Feng Xiang. She wanted to say yes, but she didn't dare to lie to the emperor, so she could only say: "Back to the saint, she is not. My dancer was injured a few days ago, so she had to Please ask this Lady Gongsun to take the stage on your behalf.

After hearing this, Li Longji felt a little happy, "Isn't it? That's great."
He turned to Gongsun Ling and asked: "This lady Gongsun, I want you to enter the pear garden, are you willing?"

Gongsun Ling raised her head in shock, suspecting that she had heard wrongly.

Li Longji added: "Just now you integrated the sword dance into the umbrella frame. You are so heroic and can fly all over the place. You hold the sword and let the flowers fall all over the sky. It is more charming than the petals scattered. I admire it very much. I really want to Let’s see what kind of unique dance you can perform with your sword next time.”
Gongsun Ling thought that her mother had once been a dancer in a troupe. Someone must know her mother and know who her biological father was. She was looking for something she wanted. She never expected that she could enter the palace so quickly and smoothly to find the answer by accident.

She nodded and replied with a smile: "I am willing. Next time, I can open the eyes of the saint."
Li Longji was very satisfied and laughed happily, "Okay, very good, I'm looking forward to it." He turned to the Liyuan Jiao Imang, "Song Jiao Imang, I'll leave this matter to you."
Song Zhimin immediately responded: "Yes, I obey your orders."
Li Longji looked at Qianyi Pavilion, which was full of messes, and turned to Xiugu, "It was me who caused your singing and dancing studio to become like this today. Don't worry, I will compensate you. Gao Lishi, go make arrangements."
Xiugu was overjoyed. The dance ended without any problem, and Qianyi Pavilion became like this again. She was extremely worried. When she heard Li Longji's words, she felt relieved and kowtowed hurriedly: "Thank you, thank you saint."
Li Longji: "Gao Lishi, please take them down. I have something to ask them." He pointed at Pei Min and the others.

Gao Lishi led the dancer out of the hall. After everyone left, Li Longji said to Pei Min: "Little brother, your skills and that black sword look very familiar!"
Pei Min respectfully replied: "Pei Min, a commoner, my master is from Taihe Sword Sect, Ye Fashan."
Li Longji smiled and said: "It is indeed Master Ye. How is he doing recently? I haven't seen him in a few years."
Pei Min: "Master is in good health and has been preaching and teaching Dharma in Taihe Mountain in recent years."
"This old guy only cares about his Taihe Mountain now and doesn't care about me." Li Longji laughed at himself.Pei Min, who was neither humble nor arrogant, replied: "No, my master has always been thinking about the saint. Pei Min has already done what the saint asked."
Li Longji raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Haha, he has some conscience, okay, very good."
"Xuanli."
Chen Xuanli, who had been keeping silent at an angle to the rear, responded and stepped forward.

"They have done a great job in rescuing me and the prince. I will summon them to the palace tomorrow and I will reward them well."
"Yes."
By this time Gongsun Wan had healed all the injured guards and was walking back slowly.

Li Longji said to her affectionately: "Miss Gongsun, you have done a good job in saving the prince. I will come to the palace tomorrow and I will reward you well."

"

Gongsun Wan didn't quite understand what it meant, so he just said "oh".Then Gongsun Ling pulled her to her knees and said, "Thank you, saint."
Li Longji was in a good mood and didn't care about it. He just said, "Okay, it's already late tonight. You guys should go home and have a good rest. We'll talk about everything tomorrow." He turned to Chen Xuanli and said, "Send a group of Youxiao guards to escort them back." Family, protect them tonight, I'm afraid those assassins will cause trouble for them."
It was a great grace to send the Sixteenth Guards of the Beiya Imperial Army to protect them. Pei Min and others hurriedly thanked them.

Chen Xuanli left a team of guards, gave them careful instructions, and then escorted Li Longji and Li Zeqi back to the palace.Li Ze, who had been silent, glanced at them before leaving the hall and followed Li Longji silently.

"Huh~, it's really scary tonight!" Li Bai exhaled a big breath after the emperor left.Tonight is really dangerous. There are more people in black than last time. If the person they save is not the emperor, they may not be able to escape unscathed tonight.

But after a while, Li Bai felt a little complacent again, "But the person we rescued turned out to be a saint, which can be considered a blessing in disguise." He was still a little excited, maybe one of his wishes would be realized early because of tonight's opportunity.

Pei Min also smiled and said: "Whether it is a blessing or a curse will be known later. Let's go home now."
"Go home? Where's your home?" Gongsun Ling asked.

"I have bought a house in Shengpingfang and I will live there these days." Li Bai answered on his behalf.

"Huh? You've only been in Chang'an City for a few days, and you've already bought a house?" Gongsun Ling was speechless. As expected, his family owns a mine, which is admirable.

I will start working as an official tomorrow. Please add it to your collection
