Taiping Inn

Li Xuandu stood up with a little embarrassment and patted the dust off his body.

Although he was seriously injured, he relied on Qin Su's medicine to walk without any problem at this time, and barely followed Qin Su. However, Li Xuandu walked at this time, as if he had a limp and had to be dragged forward by the other good leg, which was very embarrassing.

Qin Su, who was walking in front, stopped and turned to look at him. In the end, he couldn't harden his heart, so he turned back and helped him walk together.

In order to avoid the Qingyang Sect's troops, the two did not take the main road, but took a remote path.

It was called a path, but it disappeared halfway. The two entered a forest with bushes and lush branches and leaves, which was very difficult to walk. Qin Su put away "Deceiving the Way", supported Li Xuandu with one hand, and chopped with "Drinking Snow" with the other hand, creating a path in the forest.

After walking about four or five miles, Li Xuandu waved his hand and said, "No, take a break first."

Although he was a warrior in the Return to the Realm, warriors in the Return to the Realm were not mechanical people who could not sleep all the time. The reason why their physical strength was far superior to that of ordinary people was, first, because of their strong physique, and second, because they had a breath machine in their bodies to support them. At this time, Li Xuandu's breath machine was exhausted and his body was seriously injured. If it were other warriors in the Return to the Realm, they would not be able to stand up long ago. It was not easy for him to persist in walking such a long distance.

Qin Su helped him sit down on a large bluestone, and took out the red lacquer gourd from the Xumi treasure and handed it to Li Xuandu.

Li Xuandu took the gourd, uncorked it, and just took a few sips, and asked, "Do you have a march pill?"

The so-called "marching pill" is a pill made by refining various ingredients and medicinal materials through secret methods. As long as you eat one pill, you will not be hungry for three days. It is especially suitable for marching and fighting, so it is named "marching pill". However, this item is expensive, one piece costs one Taiping coin, and it is difficult to promote it in the army. On the contrary, it is quite popular among people in the martial arts world. Because this thing can only satisfy hunger, it has a rough taste and is extremely unpalatable, and tastes like soup medicine, so Li Xuandu rarely buys this thing.

Now that Li Xuandu has lost a lot of qi and blood, he needs a lot of food to replenish it. The most filling "Xingjun Pill" is the best choice.

In detail, warriors can be divided into two types: one is eating, eating to replenish qi and blood and strengthen the body. The other is fasting, eating wind and drinking dew, and accumulating qi. Qin Su is the latter, and Li Xuandu is the former. Li Xuandu didn't expect Qin Su, who has been fasting for many years, to have this kind of thing. He just asked casually, but he didn't expect Qin Su to actually take out a small bag from her Xumi treasure and hand it to Li Xuandu.

Li Xuandu took the bag, opened it and saw that there were at least a dozen "Xingjun Pills".

He raised his head and asked, "Why did you prepare so many 'military pills'?"

Qin Su said, "Although I am fasting, I cannot completely stop eating and drinking. I still have to eat once every half a month. I am afraid that I will not be able to control my appetite and ruin my years of fasting, so I only eat these 'military pills' that taste very bad to satisfy my hunger."

Li Xuandu said, "Oh", and threw the "military pills" in the bag into his mouth one by one, swallowing them without chewing.

Qin Su said dissatisfiedly, "This is my annual ration."

Li Xuandu, who ate more than a dozen "military pills" in one breath, said, "After a few days, when we get to the mountain market, I will return you a bag."

The so-called mountain market, also known as the ghost market, originally refers to the mirage of Jin'ao Peak in Taiqing Mountain. It is said that there are dozens of palaces with green tiles and flying eaves, high walls, and six or seven miles of continuous palaces. Among them are buildings and markets, like a city.

Mountain markets are rare and can only be found by chance. However, someone has built a small trading town near Jinao Peak in imitation of mountain markets. It is very lively with people from all walks of life and death. There are also Taiping Inn, Taiping Money House, Bailianfang, Wenxiangtang, and naturally there are special shops selling "Marching Pills".

Qin Su was sullen and didn't speak.

She didn't care about the bag of "Marching Pills", but was a little distressed about the relationship between the two. Although the two were almost entrusted with life and death, Qin Su, who was used to being alone, was not used to another person breaking into her world, which meant that all her habits would be broken, which made Qin Su very uncomfortable.

Take this bag of "Marching Pills" for example. Qin Su only ate one at a time. When to finish, when to buy again, and how much to buy, had already been determined. Now there is another Li Xuandu. Could it be that she will have to count his share in the future?

This is the case with the small "Xingjun Pills". If you talk about it in a bigger way, there will be more things to do. It is easy to make the piano and the zither sound harmonious in the book, but it is extremely difficult to do it in reality. This is what really gives Qin Su a headache.

Li Xuandu naturally didn't know why Qin Su suddenly stopped talking, just thought she was unhappy, so he said: "I am wrong..."

Qin Su shook her head and said: "It's not about the "Xingjun Pills", you are not wrong, but I remembered some other things."

"Other things?" Li Xuandu asked: "Is there any other explanation for these "Xingjun Pills"? Or is there any special meaning?"

Qin Su couldn't help but glare at him, feeling slightly annoyed. Whether it was Li Xuandu or her father Qin Qing, why were they so careless? Most of the time, they didn't know what she was thinking, and would only use their ideas to guess randomly, which ultimately made them irrelevant and speechless. If they were really the kind of rude and reckless men, she would have accepted it, but these two were the kind of characters who were as meticulous as hair, with strategies and calculations, but they never put their minds on these trivial matters that they thought, which was really annoying.

However, if Qin Su wanted to say what she thought, it would cost her life. If Li Xuan knew that she was thinking about how the two of them would get along in the future, wouldn't her tail be up to the sky? It was really embarrassing.

Thinking of this, Qin Su couldn't help blushing, thinking of the culprit who messed up her mind, so she glared at Li Xuandu again.

Li Xuandu was confused after being stared at twice in a row, and he didn't think deeply. He just felt that women's minds were like needles in the sea, sometimes sunny and sometimes cloudy, the sun rises in the east and rains in the west, and there is sunshine when there is no sunshine.

However, young men and women are like this, the dark clouds come and go quickly. After a while, Li Xuandu changed the topic, and Qin Su also put down the mess in his heart for the time being. The two talked about the situation in Qizhou next.

Now that the crisis in Langya Mansion has been resolved, the father and son of the Tang family have died, and Wu Lu, Bai Rao, Lei Gong and others have died one after another, as well as Bai Jue, Bai Bo and others who have fled. The Qingyang Sect has lost its power in Qizhou and is no longer able to stir up any waves. Then the pacification of Qizhou is just around the corner.

If Qin Daofang could pacify Qizhou, such a great achievement would naturally make his position as governor as stable as Mount Tai. However, Empress Dowager Xie must have ways to deal with it, which is nothing more than a promotion in name only and a demotion in reality. Qin Daofang was transferred to Beijing as a minister and a cabinet minister, and was awarded one of the following titles: "Shao Shi", "Shao Fu", and "Shao Bao". He was given the title of duke, marquis, and earl, and was given the title of "Shang Zhuguo" and "Tejin Guanglu Dafu". It seemed that he had moved up a level, but in fact, he had lost the most critical military power. In times of peace and prosperity, cabinet ministers and ministers were naturally more honorable, but in times of chaos, holding military power was the key. The final outcome of this temple struggle depends on the game between the emperor's party and the queen's party.

In addition, after this matter was settled, Qin Su was going to meet her best friend. Logically, Li Xuandu would not go with her, but things were so coincidental. Qin Su's best friend was Lu Yanbing, and Lu Yanbing was Li Xuandu's junior sister, so they were "related by kinship". In addition, Li Xuandu was also going to go out to sea to return to Qingwei Sect, which was the same as their scheduled itinerary, so it was natural for them to go together.

At this point, Qin Su instructed: "If you see Bingyan, you can say that we just happened to meet."

Li Xuandu asked with a smile: "Why do you say that?"

Qin Su said: "If I don't say that, Bingyan will laugh at me."

"She dares?" Li Xuandu waved his hand and said: "Susu, don't worry, with me, the fourth senior brother, the fifth junior sister will never dare to say a word. If she dares to make a noise, I will..."

Qin Su looked at him: "What will you do? Ask her for the sword?"

"After all, she is my junior sister, it is not appropriate to fight and kill." Li Xuandu smiled and said: "I will only talk to her reason."
