Taiping Inn

Gong is a respectful title. There are only a few types of people who can be honored as Gong. One is a person of high position, two is a person of high moral character, three is a person of seniority, four is the Lord, five is a deceased person, and six is ​​a person who is selfless and has made great contributions.

Zhao Zheng is called Zheng Gong, one is because of his high position and power, and two is because his subordinates call him Lord. Although Li Xuandu has a good status, he is not as high as Li Daoxu, Zhang Jingxiu, Xu Wugui, and Tan Taiyun. And he is young, let alone being respected and senior. The reason why he is honored as Zigong by everyone today is because he is a person of great contributions.

When Zhao Zheng invited Li Xuandu to the Golden Tent, at most he was spying on the news and adding fuel to the flames. He never expected that the situation would develop so quickly and so strangely. In a few months, the royal court has already split into two. For Liaodong and the entire Central Plains, this is great news.

Li Xuandu bowed his hands to return the greetings, saying repeatedly: "I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it, the word 'gong' is too flattering for Xuandu."

Zhao Zheng took Li Xuandu's hand and said with a smile: "Zifu is too modest. Such outstanding achievements are unprecedented and unparalleled. How can he not deserve it?"

Li Xuandu saw Qin Su, but in the public eye, it was not appropriate to be sentimental. The two could only look at each other and then said: "This matter is a long story, and I have to report it to Zhenggong in detail."

Zhao Zheng looked around, and everyone took a few steps back in tacit understanding, leaving only Li Xuandu and Zhao Zheng walking side by side.

Li Xuandu said softly: "Xuandu dare not take the credit for himself. To be honest, this matter is full of twists and turns. Geomancer Xu Wugui, Saint King Tan Taiyun, and 'Devil Knife' Song Zheng have all taken action. Otherwise, how can I pry open such a huge royal court with my own strength? And the death of the old Khan also involves the Golden Tent National Master. I just acted according to the circumstances. Others do not know about the Geomancer and the Saint King, and attribute their actions to me alone. I really don't deserve the praise of destroying a country by myself." Zhao Zheng's face was moved, and there was a moment of silence, then he said: "Whether it is the Geomancer, the Saint King, or Song Zheng, they have bad intentions and are just for their own selfish desires. How can they deserve the praise of the world forever? Famous? Zifu was willing to take risks and go to the Golden Tent alone, without any selfish thoughts, only for the public interest of the people of the world, how could he not deserve such praise? Zifu, don't be too modest. If it weren't for Zifu's alliance, I'm afraid that the Golden Tent would have a new Khan at this time, and there would never be a situation of war between the East and the West today. So this honorific title of "gong" belongs to you, so don't be modest. "

After saying that, Zhao Zheng grabbed Li Xuandu's wrist and raised his voice, "I have sent people to set up a banquet, both to welcome Zifu and to celebrate Zifu's success. Zifu, please!"

Li Xuandu smiled bitterly and could only follow Zhao Zheng to get on his carriage, and the group went to the Governor's Office in a mighty manner.

When they arrived at the Governor's Office, there were guns and cannons, and musicians played the ancient song "General's Order".

The banquet had already been set up in the main hall, all of which were huge round tables. Because there were too many guests, they could not even fit in the house, so they were placed in the yard. Li Xuandu naturally had to sit at the main table. After some humility, Li Xuandu and Zhao Zheng sat in the guest and host seats respectively.

Li Xuandu could not stand this kind of socializing, but as his status continued to rise, there would be more and more such socializing, and he could not refuse. Li Xuandu could only patiently toast with everyone at the table, and frequently someone took the initiative to toast him, and he could only accept everyone.

After a round of toasts, Li Xuandu did not dissipate the alcohol, and deliberately brought a little drunkenness, so that he could get away.

Li Xuandu came to the backyard of the Governor's Mansion alone, looking at the unmelted white snow, in a daze.

At this time, someone reached out from behind and covered his eyes, and his palms were slightly cold.

Li Xuandu grabbed the hand of the visitor and said nothing.

The two were silent for a long time, and the person behind them asked softly: "Why don't you speak?"

Li Xuandu replied: "I haven't thought about what to say."

To be fair, the relationship between the two is not as eternal as the talented scholar and beautiful woman in the book, and there is no vow of love. In the eyes of outsiders, the two were engaged not because of love, but a marriage promoted by the elders of both sides for the sake of interests.

In fact, Li Xuandu couldn't tell whether the two were engaged so quickly because of the situation or because of love. Or the old saying, no one can talk about feelings without interests, and no one can talk about interests without feelings. So Li Xuandu rarely thinks about this problem that is not a problem.

But today, for some reason, it suddenly came to his mind again, and Li Xuandu couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Just two years ago, he never thought that one day he would marry Qin Su. At that time, Qin Su was a very distant stranger to him. Today, he is a little uneasy.

I don't know where the word "love" comes from, and I don't know where it ends. Sometimes liking a person has nothing to do with whether the person is good or bad. Qin Su is not a perfect person, and the other women Li Xuan has seen have their own advantages, but they are not Qin Su.

Even if there are thousands of good things, it's just because you are not her. This is the unsolvable part of the word "love". The love between men and women is not family love, nor is it friendship, so it does not require a long period of precipitation and accumulation. Sometimes, just because of a glance, a word, or a smile, you can be in love. Even if the time is longer, it is only a few months or more of a year together. This is fate.

Some people cannot see through this truth and feel that years of perseverance and infatuation can bring the other party's sincerity. However, they do not know that such actions can only bring pity and disdain. If they don't like them, they still don't like them, even in the end. If you commit yourself to you, you just have no better choice. In other words, the day when you ride a donkey and find a horse, it is the time to kick the donkey away with one kick.

Qin Su was not very satisfied with this answer, but he was sympathetic to Li Xuandu's hard work and was reluctant to say a harsh sentence, "Have your injuries improved? Didn't you relapse?"

Li Xuan smiled, "It has been completely solved. Not only that, I also became a blessing in disguise and went to another level."

Qin Su let out a light "um" and showed a slight and implicit smile, feeling happy for Li Xuan.

Li Xuandu continued: "This time I met the Earth Master during the trip to the Golden Tent. The Earth Master removed my inner demons and took away all my cultivation. But by chance, Dan Tai Yun took it again The "Eternal Life Stone" of the National Master was thrown into my hands, and I learned from this the "Taiping Qingling Sutra" and the "Xiaoyao Six Void Tribulations". By the way, do you know that Dan Taiyun is actually a woman, and she is still a very good person. Domineering woman.”

Qin Su didn't like to mention other women when they met again after they had been together for a long time and were alone. The smile on her face gradually faded away and then pulled her hands back. She thought Li Xuan would hold on, but this time Li Xuan let go, which surprised Qin Su and was a little uneasy.

Li Xuan turned around, looked at her, and slowly approached.

Qin Su began to blush, and her anxiety receded like a tide.

Li Xuandu suddenly laughed and said, "I went to the golden tent this time and met Lao Khan. He was a very interesting old man. He told me a reason."

Qin Su asked, "What's the reason?"

Li Xuandu stretched out his hand, "The sand is in his hand. The more I want to hold it tightly, the easier it is for the sand to slip through my fingers."

Qin Su asked with a red face, "Am I a sand?"

"No." Li Xuandu held her hand again, "I mean, that's because one hand is not big enough, and you can wrap the sand by closing your hands, just like we are now."

Qin Su was stunned at first, and then a smile appeared on her face again.

Li Xuandu whispered in her ear: "We are engaged, and the next step is getting married. After getting married, we will be a family, and husband and wife are one, so we must support each other and help each other. You are not the sand in my hands, and I am not the one in your hands. We should not worry about who will slip away, but put our hands together and advance and retreat together."

Qin Su felt her ears itchy and became more shy, but she didn't dodge, "I thought you were going to talk nonsense again and be a disciple."

Li Xuandu sighed: "In the blink of an eye, I am almost thirty years old. As a husband, a father, a teacher, and a master, I am always frivolous."

Qin Su was mentally prepared for "being a husband", but when he heard that "being a father" even his ears became red. He wanted to say that you didn't have children, but then he thought, Li Xuan would definitely be able to do so. When I climbed up, I would still suffer the consequences at that time, so I kept silent.

Li Xuan, who failed to plot, was not discouraged. He stepped forward, held her in his arms, and whispered, "Su Su, I miss you."

Qin Su's body trembled slightly, her face stopped red, but her eyes were a little red, "I miss you too."
