Taiping Inn

After sending off the white silk, Li Xuandu walked back to the gate of the villa, the smile on his face gradually faded, and he became the Li Xuandu who never showed his emotions.

No one in this world has only one face. One face in front of ordinary relatives, another face in front of close relatives; one face in front of friends who only drink and eat together, another face in front of life and death friends. Li Xuandu had seen with his own eyes that a fierce and ruthless eunuch in the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau, after returning to the imperial capital, was like the most obedient and filial son in front of the eunuch who held the seal of the Silijian. Although they were only the relationship between godfather and godson, the true love and admiration could not be deceived.

As for the so-called innocent heart, Li Xuandu had only heard of it, but never seen it.

Although there are people with strange behaviors in the martial arts world, Li Xuandu does not think that these people are truly pure-hearted. They are just pretending to be stupid and shocking, just like those literati with disheveled hair after being drunk.

The martial arts world is not a good place. How can people with pure-hearted hearts survive?

Li Xuandu also has many faces, which is almost human instinct. In front of Zhou Shuning, he is a brother who can be relied on; in front of Lu Yanbing, he is a senior brother with great prestige; in front of Yan Feiqing, he is the brother of Zifu who cares about the world; in front of Hu Liang, he is Lao Li who can be trusted with his life.

Even Zhang Suqing, who is regarded as a half-perfect person by Li Xuandu, is the same. In front of civil and military officials, he is an unkind cabinet chief, and in front of Zhang Baiyue, he is a loving father who licks his child. These are not contradictory.

If you really count, Li Xuandu is only 25 years old now, even if he is 70 years old, he is still a young man.

Young people should have the mind of young people, but people like Li Xuandu, including Yan Feiqing, Su Yun'an, and palace officials, have too many things to bear and have experienced too many things, which suppresses their mind and makes them look old, not like young people.

However, Li Xuandu is different from these people. These people are always in high spirits. If there is no accident, after a dozen years, they will each take a step forward and usher in the hot summer with flowers in full bloom, which is in line with Zhang Suqing's words that stood above thousands of people: "If you enter a fire, you will get a cool door." It means: standing in a raging fire, you can feel the coolness. The difference between Li Xuandu and them is that before he reached the hot summer, he skipped the summer directly and came from the spring to the cold autumn. The advantage of this is that if you have never seen the colorful flowers in the summer, you will not be too sentimental about the cold and withering autumn, and the gap will not be too big. However, spring is a season of vitality after all, and compared with the gradually dead autumn, it is still ups and downs.

After experiencing ups and downs in life, seeing the fickleness of the world and the warmth and coldness of human feelings, Li Xuandu's heart is inevitably vicissitudes, so he looks older.

If these are put aside, Li Xuandu should also be a passionate young man, who will get angry when encountering unfair things, be happy when encountering joyful things, sing when encountering happy things, cry when encountering sad things, get angry when seeing enemies without thinking about the consequences, and approach a woman of his heart without thinking about his face.

After Li Xuandu met Bai Juan for the second time, he suddenly had an idea.

He wanted to be a young man.

Not the kind of young man who looks young but is mature in heart, but the kind of young man who is consistent in appearance and inside. So along the way, he seemed to have become a different person, indulging himself, thinking what he thought in his heart is what he said, which was rare for him to be relaxed since the second year of Tianbao.

But now that Bai Juan has left, Li Xuandu should really curb his frivolous attitude, so he turned back into the mature Li Xuandu of the past.

When Li Xuandu returned to the small courtyard, Lu Shizhen had been waiting there for a long time.

Before Lu Shizhen could speak, Li Xuandu said: "I have written to Mr. Chu, and the various remunerations listed by Master Lu are also attached. In my opinion, I wonder if Mr. Chu will agree."

Lu Shizhen was still worried and said: "I wonder if Mr. Chu can come in three days."

Li Xuandu smiled lightly and said: "Master Lu, don't worry, he will."

Seeing that Li Xuandu was so sure, Lu Shizhen didn't speak even though he still had some doubts in his heart.

Li Xuandu walked to the study alone.

Lu Shizhen had no other choice but to turn around and leave.

Li Xuandu came to the study, not to the desk, but to the long table by the window, on which there was a guqin.

Li Xuandu stretched out two fingers and gently plucked the strings of the zither.

In the martial arts world, there are countless people who use music as a means to fight against enemies, such as Cihang Sect, Xuannv Sect, Pinnv Sect, and Wangqing Sect, all of which are experts in this field. Therefore, people from other sects need to have a rough understanding of music, otherwise it is really difficult to deal with them. Li Xuandu has also learned to play the zither. It is not that he is completely unfamiliar with music, but he is not so proficient.

Li Xuandu stretched out his hand and pressed the strings of the zither, then pushed the window and looked out, just in time to see the place where he and Qin Daofang drank yesterday. He smiled slightly, lowered the window, slowly walked to the desk, and sat on the chair behind the desk.

He was going to wait here for the Cihang Sect's Master Huixuan to come to the door, help Lu Shizhen solve the dilemma of Xianjian Villa, and then ask the owner of Lu Villa to do him a favor.

Li Xuandu spread a piece of rice paper on the table, then ground the ink himself, selected a long wolf hair tip, and drew a pattern on the paper.

On the other side, Lu Shizhen sat in the main seat in the main hall.

There were only two people in the hall at this time, and the other one was Lu Shixing.

Lu Shizhen supported her forehead with her hand, looking extremely worried.

It was true that she had a deep friendship with the Second Master. The bamboo sword in the Second Master's hand was forged by her, but this friendship was almost used up after the Second Master and Master Huixuan made the three swords agreement. Even if they still had some personal friendship for many years, the great "Seas Run Dry and Rocks Crash" Zhang Haishi would not work for her. Before the New Year, Zhang Haishi told her that he would leave Qizhou for a while and go to Shuzhou. If she had any difficulties, she could ask the Fourth Master for help. She also heard about the Fourth Master's affairs. It was said that he defeated the Sixth Master on Danxia Peak. It can be seen that the recent rumors that the Fourth Master has recovered his realm are not false. It's just that after the Fourth Master left Danxia Peak, there was no news. He never returned to the sect, nor did he go to Donghua Sect. In such a big Qizhou, where should she go to find the Fourth Master she had never met?

Seeing his sister's ugly face, Lu Shixing slowly knelt down, held her knees, and said softly: "It's my fault. Not only did I implicate my sister, but I also ruined the foundation of the villa."

Lu Shizhen sighed softly: "We are two brothers and sisters, what do you mean by implicating or not implicating? If I offend my enemies, will you ignore me?"

"Of course not." Lu Shixing raised his head and looked at Lu Shizhen, saying: "But how could my sister make a mistake?"

Lu Shizhen shook his head and murmured: "Now we can only hope that the shadow governor can help us turn things around. As long as we wait until Mr. Er returns to Qizhou, this hurdle will be over."
