Taiping Inn

Pei Zhou looked over the inn gate: "If there was such a big disturbance, the defenders in Zaoguan would be alarmed."

The old man smiled and said, "The compensation from the inn, as well as this young master and the defenders in Zaoguan, may I give it to me to deal with it. Mr. Li is so happy to recuperate his injuries."

Li Xuandu was not surprised that Pei Zhou could see that he was injured. He had never eaten pork but had seen pig run. After staying in the place where the tiger and the dragon were crouching for a long time, his vision was naturally good.

Li Xuandu nodded and walked along the stairs to the second floor.

Pei Zhu made way and Pei Yu followed Li Xuandu.

When he walked to the door of the second floor, Pei Yu had already run over Li Xuandu quickly and opened the door for him very hard.

Li Xuandu walked into it strode. When Pei Yu was standing at the door hesitating whether to go in, Li Xuandu turned his head and said, "Pei Yu, you can tell your grandfather later, I will be in seclusion for a few days. During this period, don’t let someone disturb me, and you’d better not leave the inn.”

Pei Yu looked at Li Xuandu, and couldn't hide his worries on his face: "Brother Li, are you okay?"

Li Xuandu shook his head and said, "Nothing is serious."

Pei Yu then breathed a sigh of relief.

But he didn't know that for Li Xuandu, it would be fine if he couldn't die.

After Pei Yu left, Li Xuandu waved his sleeves and closed the two doors on their own, and there was a layer of qi flowing that could be seen from the naked eye.

Then Li Xuan took out some bottles and jars from the "Eighteenth Floor", most of which were the remaining elixirs he used before, but as for good things like "Ziyang Pill", there was nothing left. Fortunately, Li Xuan has been in the world for a long time and has been injured more often, so he has become a good doctor after a long time of illness. After looking through it, he barely prepared a pair of medicines that calms the breath and calms the mind from these remaining pills, about a dozen. Left and right, large and small, big as pearls, small as rice grains, mainly black and red, Li Xuan put them all in the palm of his hand and then swallowed them in one breath.

In fact, the injuries caused by Hu Yanshengming and Fang Shisan to Li Xuan are second-hand, mostly flesh and blood injuries. What really makes Li Xuan suffer is the "God of Heaven" and "Taiyin Thirteen Swords". If it is just alone One, Li Xuan can handle it by relying on what he has learned. The key is that both of them occur at the same time, that is, pressing the gourd to float up, making Li Xuan feel embarrassed.

This made Li Xuan recall a statement. Ten fingers pressed down on ten fleas, but as a result, one finger could not move. It seemed powerful, but as long as one hand pointed out the problem, it would cause a series of consequences.

Li Xuandu sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes, placed his hands on his knees, and his breathing gradually became stable. There was no fixed secret, no fixed shape, no fixed mind, no fixed mind, no fixed limbs, abandon intelligence, and leave the body to know , the same as Datong, is to forget. By sitting and forgetting to enter the state of withering and prosperity, observing the bright and dark, dividing good and evil, and using the "gathering method" in the "mysterious and micro-true art" to achieve the harmony between dragon and tiger and the combination of yin and yang.

After three days of this, Li Xuan stopped wearing the blue cloth cotton robe, but replaced it with a brand new crane cloak and walked out of the room again. His injuries cannot be said to have fully recovered, but they are generally unhindered. He was considered to have been treated by Li Xuan. They all suppressed them, but the more they were now, the more they rebounded in the future. By then, even Li Xuan could not even be able to suppress them if he used all his skills.

At this time, the inn had been repaired, which could be said to be completely renewed, making people mistakenly think that nothing had happened here.

At this time, the inn owner was still standing behind the counter to settle the accounts. The young man swept the broom and kept sweeping it all at once. Pei Yu sat alone at a table in the lobby. He was not as handsome as the young master of the Pei family. A storybook was spread flat on the table, and there were another pile of melon seeds next to it. I was reading a book while knocking melon seeds.

When Pei Yu turned around accidentally and saw Li Xuandu, he immediately stopped caring about the novel and said happily: "Brother Li, have you come out of seclusion?"

Li Xuandu nodded, sat down with Pei Yu, and asked, "Where is your grandfather?"

Pei Yu split the melon seeds in front of him and pushed them to Li Xuandu, and whispered: "It seems like I'm going to meet the guerrilla general in Lin Zaoguan. Brother Li, after you take action, those Qingluan Guards dare not again. When I came back, there was also the little Duke of Yan. Unexpectedly, the boss's wife was also a hidden master. She was sealed by the boss's wife and was still locked in the woodshed now. No one came to save him. As for the guerrilla general in Linzao Pass, he didn't dare to enter the inn. He just said a few words to my grandfather on the street and turned around. There was also the inn. My grandfather was going to give money. But the boss’s wife said she didn’t want anything, saying that she was unruly, and I didn’t quite understand what the rules were.”

Li Xuan even peeled a few melon seeds and didn't say much.

Not long after, Pei Zhou walked into the inn.

Li Xuandu stood up to greet him, but Pei Zhou quickly walked to Li Xuandu and bowed, "Prince Li was the most important thing to heal before, but I dare not delay. Now Mr. Li has finished healing, and I am grateful to him for saving each other twice. , please accept a worship from me."

After saying that, the old man had to bow to Li Xuandu to the end. Li Xuandu naturally would not accept this gift calmly. He reached out to hold the old man's arm and supported him. With Li Xuandu's cultivation level, he was just a scholar. The old man naturally couldn't continue to worship.

At the same time, Pei Zhou also stood up very sensible and respectfully bowed to Li Xuan.

Li Xuandu smiled and said, "I have received a betrothal of Pei Yu today, which is enough."

Pei Zhou did not force it, and suggested that he and Li Xuandu go to the small garden behind the inn for a walk. Li Xuandu agreed. When the two came to the back garden of the inn, Pei Zhou whispered: "The young Duke is still in the firewood room of the inn. According to my opinion, I should let him go. After all, Duke Yan has a good reputation in the court and the public. However, this person has threatened Master Li many times before, so Master Li has to make a decision on how to deal with him."

Li Xuandu thought about it and said: "Let him go. There is no need to make a mortal enemy with the Duke Yan's Mansion for a moment of arrogance."

Li Xuandu hesitated for a moment and added: "At least not now."

Pei Zhou was once one of the nine ministers, and he immediately heard the hidden meaning of Li Xuandu's words, and nodded: "Master Li's words are mature and prudent."

Thinking of this, Pei Zhou couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

What is temple struggle? That is to unite all forces that can be united. The reason why the four ministers suffered a great defeat, or the reason why Queen Mother Xie and King Jin were able to win, was that they grasped this essence and made the royal family, nobles and those civil and military officials who opposed the four ministers join hands, which led to the great defeat of the four ministers.

Whether it is the Qingliu or the Emperor Party now, they naturally cannot go down this old path, so the Queen Mother and King Jin's appearance of unity gave them an opportunity.

In this way, this Mr. Li is well versed in this.

Killing is okay, but you can't kill for the sake of killing. You must understand why you kill.

Killing has always been a means, not an end.
