Taiping Inn

The palace official found that he had underestimated Li Xuandu's cold heart.

If it were any other man, he would have been as soft as steel, but Li Xuandu was a strange person. He did feel guilty, but he had no other emotions besides guilt.

In other words, if the person who was injured was not the palace official, but another person, even if it was a man, Li Xuandu would still feel guilty. This was not about the person, but about the matter. It would not change because of the identity of the injured person.

Pity women? There is no such thing.

But this is also reasonable.

If Li Xuandu was the kind of man who indulged in love between men and women, he would not have survived after Miss Zhang died in the second year of Tianbao, and there would be no Mr. Qingping today.

But the palace official was also strange. She was not the kind of woman who felt sorry for herself.

If Li Xuandu was like Sun Hu, who fell at her feet just because of her kindness, then she would not be so unyielding, and would only treat Li Xuandu as a vulgar man who could be used, and would even give up Li Xuandu after getting what she wanted. It was precisely because Li Xuandu repeatedly refused that the palace official became more and more interested in Li Xuandu, and became more and more courageous after repeated setbacks.

In this way, the relationship between the two became a dead end.

The more Li Xuandu was unmoved by the palace official, the more curious she was about Li Xuandu.

The palace official didn't know whether Li Xuandu had seen through her mind, but she couldn't help but guess what Li Xuandu was thinking and what kind of person he was.

Whether a person is cruel or not does not depend on how he treats others, but on how he treats himself. Those who treat themselves cruelly are the real cruel people.

A man who is in a high position and in power does not care about women, does not make money, does not like antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and does not like to listen to operas and sing songs. At this level of status, the pleasures of life are nothing but a feather, but he refuses to accept them. How cruel is he to himself? How cruel is his heart? Such a man does not kill easily, but when he decides to kill, he does not blink an eye.

The King of Ji Tian of Wu Dao Sect is a subordinate of the Saint Lord Tan Taiyun, and he secretly colludes with Song Zheng and the Earth Master. Because of his high cultivation, seniority, and status, he has everything to gain, but when he met Li Xuandu, he killed him without hesitation.

This reminded the palace official of one thing. Li Xuandu said more than once that he wanted to return to the Imperial Capital, but he rarely mentioned revenge. He seemed to not care about the cold reception he suffered because of the change in the Imperial Capital. Even the death of Zhang Suqing was not a top priority. He cared more about the ideas passed down to him by Zhang Suqing. The first thing he wanted to do was not revenge, but to change the world.

The palace official was used to seeing people who regarded being looked down upon as a great shame and would fight for their dignity, such as Sun Hu. Li Xuandu was a rare freak. The last person who did this was Zhang Luanshan. But women admired the strong. For the palace official, Zhang Luanshan was too weak. Whether in realm cultivation or ability, he was far inferior to Li Xuandu.

So every time the palace official saw Li Xuandu, she always had a strange feeling. In her eyes, this man was still the Purple Mansion Sword Immortal who saved her from the hands of the great monk Jingchan. Although he had now put away all his sharpness, willpower, and frivolity and became gentle and polite, in fact, Mr. Qingping was more ruthless than the Purple Mansion Sword Immortal back then. This ruthlessness was not the coldness of not recognizing relatives, nor was it the forgetfulness of being completely emotionless, but the absolute calmness mixed with great ambitions and several life and death experiences, and a little cynicism.

For the palace officials, this kind of "ruthlessness" is like an alluring poison. Knowing that it is something that will kill people, they can't help but want to swallow it in one gulp.

The palace official riding on the camel tilted his head slightly, looked at Li Xuandu's profile, and whispered: "You haven't answered me yet. If I die, will you remember me for the rest of your life?"

At this time, the two were not far from Loulan City. They were flying forward and encountered a group of fierce horse thieves on the way. They were robbing a caravan. At that time, most of the guards of the caravan had been killed or injured. The rest were the elderly, weak, women and children. Li Xuandu saved the caravan.

After saving the caravan, Li Xuandu found that this was not a caravan, but a family migration, dragging the family with them. The leader of the caravan was also the head of the family. He thanked Li Xuandu, the benefactor, and wanted to give him silver and money, but was rejected by Li Xuandu. Li Xuandu asked for two camels and then said goodbye to him.

Horses are not as good as camels when traveling on the Gobi Desert, so most people who often travel in the Western Regions ride camels instead of horses. Li Xuandu asked for two camels, not for transportation, but to conceal his identity. After all, it was not far from Loulan City, and even if he rode a camel, it would not take too much time.

The palace officials naturally had no objection, so the two of them rode camels to Loulan at this time.

Hearing the palace official's question, Li Xuandu did not shift his gaze, but still looked forward, with his back straight, and answered: "My memory has always been very good. It is not an exaggeration to say that I can read ten lines at a glance and never forget everything I see."

The palace official snorted lightly, "It's not an irrelevant answer."

Li Xuandu said: "It's not an irrelevant answer, but I want to tell you that whether you are alive or dead, I will remember you in this life. In fact, not only you, but also the people who have crossed paths with me, I will never forget them in this life."

The palace official said softly, "It's really... ruthless."

Li Xuandu asked: "How am I ruthless?"

The palace official was a few years younger than Li Xuandu, so she still had some girlish innocence, and habitually pouted and said: "You are ruthless in every way."

Li Xuan laughed in silence and said, "You are unreasonable now. To be honest, why is it ruthless?"

Gong Guan said, "Actually, you know in your heart that I don't want to hear this, but you just pretend to be confused when you understand. Even if you don't think so in your heart, just treat it as a coaxing me with your mouth, won't it be okay?"

Li Xuan was stunned for a moment and did not directly answer the palace official, but said, "When Emperor Xin first asked a craftsman to make chopsticks for him with ivory, his uncle Jizi was very worried. Jizi thought that since you used it With rare and expensive ivory as chopsticks, the matching cups, plates, bowls and cups will no longer be made of heavy objects made of ceramic soil, but will inevitably be replaced with exquisite utensils polished with rhino horns and beautiful jade. Once you change to ivory chopsticks and jade plates, you will never eat ordinary vegetables such as soybeans, but try every means to enjoy the delicious delicacies of yaks, elephants, leopards, and other fetuses. Then, When you enjoy delicious food, you will never wear coarse clothes sewn in a low and damp hut, but will inevitably change to sets of silk and satin and live in a high-rise building Jizi was afraid that if this evolved, it would definitely bring a tragic ending. Therefore, he felt an ominous fear from the beginning of King Zhou making ivory chopsticks. Then, as expected, within a few years, There is a wine pool and a meat forest."

Li Xuan paused for a moment and continued, "If I follow your wishes and make you smile, this is the pair of ivory chopsticks. Today I can be amused with you, tomorrow I can reveal my heart to you, and the next day I will depend on each other If you snuggle, then the day after tomorrow, I’m afraid that men and women will not care about the great defense. As the saying goes, a thousand-mile long dike is destroyed by an ant hole, so it’s better not to open this head.”

The palace official couldn't help but smile and said, "You think so far."

Li Xuandu finally turned his head and looked at the palace official, "Miss Gong is too deeply planning, so I can't help but think about it."

The palace official said unhappy: "You called me 'Present Girl' again. Didn't we agree that you should call me 'Official Official'."

Li Xuandu was good at doing things like a stream, "Good, official."

The palace official said again: "Also, you have made it clear, what do I plan too deeply? What am I planning? Didn't you take the initiative to come to Xijing and ask me to take you to Loulan City? Now you are turning aside."

Li Xuan was stunned and then said, "That's my fault. But I have a wife at home. If I carry her back and have something happen to the official, I will both be sorry for her and you. Of course, it may also be that I am self-indulgent. If this is true, please forgive me."

The palace official was not angry or angry. If he was angry or self-pity, he was not the palace official anymore. Her eyes were full of dazzling colors and she smiled and said, "Zi Mansion, do you know that the more you keep your body, the more I like it." you."

Li Xuan asked in surprise: "What's the reason?"

Gong Guan said, "It makes no sense. You men always like to pull good women into the water and persuade women to be good. We women are not allowed to have such hobbies as well? Are you, the person who just got engaged, a veritable good man?"

Li Xuan couldn't help but shake his head and smiled, "Good man, this statement is interesting. This is the first time I have heard someone call me that when I grow up."

Gong Guan said, "Maybe I would only treat you like this in the world. In the eyes of others, you are not a good family, but a murderous star who can't blink."

"You should only think that I can be linked to the word "Good Family"." Li Xuan agreed, "But whether I am a murderer without blinking is still to be discussed. At least some people think that I am a righteous person. People, I think the name of a righteous person is better.”

The palace official asked curiously: "How does Miss Qin view you?"

Li Xuandu's mouth curled up slightly, and a smile appeared from his heart, "She said I was a disciple."

The palace official smiled and said, "Dengtuzi? Why didn't I see it at all? Is it because you are too hidden? Or is it because my sister Qin is too soft?"

Li Xuandu said vaguely: "It should be both."

The palace official wanted to speak, but Li Xuan no longer wanted to continue to talk in this regard. He said seriously: "When we talk about serious matters, where can we find traces of the Yin-Yang Sect after we arrive in Loulan City?"
