The experience of living in the cold palace

"Um?!"

Li Xuan and Zhao Hao immediately stood up and held the long knives at their waists!

The two of them looked down and found that the figure that bumped in from the outside was actually a monk.

The monk's cassock was torn, and bright red blood flowed from his chest, staining the floor red.

He was lying on his back, unconscious, and seemed to be breathing in but not out.

"Ah, it's dead, it's dead!"

When the boy saw the monk on the ground, he screamed in fright.

"Shut up and get out!"

Zhao Hao slapped the boy out with a loud mouth.

Then, he cautiously approached the window.

However, at this moment.

Two masked men in black suddenly appeared outside the window. With a flip of their palms, darts shot out as fast as lightning.

However, the target was not Zhao Hao, but the monk lying on the ground.

"careful!"

The dart was so fast that Zhao Hao had no time to react.

Zheng!

The sound of a knife resounded.

Waves of bright sword lights flickered, hitting these darts.

Clang, clang, clang!

Only a series of metallic sounds were heard.

All the darts flying towards the monk were blocked by Li Xuan.

"Good sword skills!"

Zhao Hao praised him, and the turbulent earth-yellow energy in his Dantian suddenly burst out, making him seem to have turned into a clay sculpture.

"You dare to kill someone in front of our family, how brave!"

Zhao Hao flashed and came to the window. He pulled out a sword with a sword in his hand, his energy surged and the wind surged!

The wood of the window was shattered, and the cold light struck one of the men in black outside the window!

but.

This black-clothed body technique seems to be extremely powerful. His body dodges like a ghost and easily dodges Zhao Hao's slashing attack.

Then, he jumped onto the roof of Chunfeng Tower.

"Where to run!"

Zhao Hao wanted to pursue him again, but was persuaded by Li Xuan.

"Brother Zhao, don't chase the poor bandits, don't fall for their plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain."

Only then did Zhao Hao stop and look at the unconscious monk on the ground:

"That's right. These people are obviously here for the bald donkey. They want to see if they can revive the bald donkey and ask what's going on."

"Hey, I originally wanted to listen to a little tune, but now it's all gone. It seems like this Buddha doesn't like our family."

Zhao Hao cursed, and in a flash, he came to the monk.

His inner energy surged out and penetrated the monk's body. After a moment, he said:

"The bald donkey was seriously injured. It seems to have hurt his heart, but it shouldn't be life-threatening."

After Zhao Hao helped the monk stop the bleeding, he took out a healing Ziyun Dan from his arms and fed it to the monk.

next moment.

The monk's complexion improved at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The large scar on his chest began to heal slowly.

However, the monk still showed no signs of waking up.

‘The people who chased and killed the bald donkey should be practicing Dharma. They injured the bald donkey’s soul. Without the pill to restore his mind, the bald donkey probably wouldn’t be able to wake up for a while. ’ Zhao Hao said.

He naturally has the elixir to restore his mind.

However, this is a fourth-grade elixir worth at least five hundred taels.

He couldn't bear to give it to a stranger.

"What should we do now?" Li Xuan couldn't help but ask.

Zhao Hao pondered for a moment and then said: "Otherwise, you watch here while I go back and call for help. Otherwise, if we are ambushed on the road with this bald donkey, we may not be able to handle it. I can easily escape by myself." "

"Okay, be careful." Li Xuan nodded.

This Chunfeng Building should be relatively safe for the time being.

Coupled with the presence of Shi Yu, who is a master of magic and martial arts, the group of black-clothed men will probably not be able to gain any favor even if they leave and come back.

"Then I'll go."

Zhao Hao didn't waste any time, and jumped directly from the window in a flash.

Then, he took his horse out of the stable and quickly rushed to the house where he lived.

Li Xuan sat aside with a long knife in hand.

In his hand was the Restoring Spirit Pill that restored his mind, which he bought from the Wanbao Pavilion auction for 4,000 taels.

There are six in total, and one is worth almost seven hundred taels.

Li Xuan also planned to keep these elixirs for his own use. After all, he urgently needed these elixirs to restore his mind after expelling objects.

He was not generous enough to give it to a monk he had never met.

Moreover, he was also worried that after giving medicine to the monk, others would see it, which would only cause trouble.

While Li Xuan was waiting quietly.

Tap tap tap!

A series of rapid footsteps sounded from outside the door.

next moment.

One after another, figures walked in from outside the door.

One of the women has a graceful figure, an oval face, and a high nose. She is somewhat similar to Empress Duanmu, but she is a little more charming.

It’s Shiyu!

After not seeing each other for two months, this oiran is still beautiful and charming, and her every move is full of alluring charm.

Li Xuan stood up, took out the East Factory non-staff token from his arms, and said:

"The East Factory is handling the case, and everyone who is idle should stay away!"

One of them had a black mole next to the bridge of her nose. She looked like she was in her fifties, and she looked a bit like a madam.

"May I ask this official, what happened?"

Li Xuan's tone was stiff: "I don't know, we are still investigating. Please all exit and don't destroy the scene!"

Hearing this, a group of people looked at each other and subconsciously glanced at Shiyu. After the latter nodded slightly, they retreated one after another.

Li Xuan's eyes moved: "Miss Shiyu, please stay here for a moment. We have a few words to ask you."

"Yes." Shiyu looked at Li Xuan, her beautiful eyes moved, and she stopped.

Li Xuan closed the door, took out a talisman from his arms, and stuck it on the door.

This is an auxiliary talisman, an eighth-grade talisman, and a musical note that he drew when he was in the cold palace.

As the name suggests, it can isolate the sounds outside and inside the door to prevent people from eavesdropping.

Seeing this, Shiyu looked at Li Xuan carefully and said with some suspicion:

"This father-in-law, have we met before?"

Previously.

Li Xuan met her late at night and wore a mask.

Therefore, Shiyu only felt that Li Xuan was somewhat familiar for a while, but did not recognize him.

Li Xuan smiled, and this time he did not hide anything anymore, and admitted his identity calmly:

"Miss Shiyu, I haven't seen you for two months. How are you?"

His current strength is not what it used to be, and since he already has a certain foundation of trust with Shiyu, he no longer needs to be as cautious as before.

Shiyu's beautiful eyes blinked, and then she realized:

"It turns out it's you. Are you from Dongchang?"

She looked Li Xuan up and down, pursed her red lips and said:

"She has red lips, white teeth, and pretty features. No wonder she has won Sister Ya's trust and asked you to bring such important news."

Li Xuan coughed dryly and without explaining his identity, he asked about Empress Duanmu:

"Miss Shiyu, it's been two months now. Has there been any progress regarding Empress Duanmu's matter?"

Shiyu said: "Don't worry, Master has returned to Simon, and he should discuss with Emperor Qian in person about releasing Sister Ya in the near future."

"Then I'll be relieved." Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.

He was really worried about what might happen midway.

By then, his special reward will be wasted.

Shiyu glanced at the monk on the ground and asked, "What's going on?"

Li Xuan shook his head: "This monk seemed to be chased by several men in black and accidentally ran into this room. Another colleague of mine has already gone back to call for help."

"Man in black?" Shiyu frowned, "Guangning Mansion has become increasingly unstable recently."

Li Xuan took advantage of the situation and asked: "Is it because of the incident in Black Wind Village?"

Shiyu pursed her red lips: "Ever since Qin Kun, the leader of Black Wind Village, was killed, warriors from all provinces have gathered in Guangning Mansion, waiting for the government to send troops to suppress the bandits so that they can share a piece of the pie."

"To be honest, Miss Shiyu, I came to Guangning Mansion this time to suppress bandits. You have been working here for many years. Can you introduce the current situation in Guangning Mansion and the situation in Heifeng Village?" Li Xuan asked .

Shiyu thought for a while and then said: "Guangning Mansion is now in chaos. Many forces are operating here, including the Jianghu people who came to suppress bandits, the rebel army composed of refugees from Taihu Province, and the remnants of the previous dynasty. As well as the Blood Lotus Sect, etc., you have to follow to suppress the bandits, and the most important thing to pay attention to is the Blood Lotus Sect."

"According to my investigation, the Blood Lotus Sect has been colluding with Heifeng Village a long time ago. Recently, it has been active in various prefectures in Taihu Province. It is obviously planning something."

Li Xuan didn't know whether Shiyu knew about the fate map, but he still told her the information:

"The Blood Lotus Sect should be preparing for the blood sacrifice, because soon, a destiny map may be revealed."

This news is either big or small.

It can be considered that Li Xuan deliberately sold his favor to Shi Yu to deepen the foundation of trust between the two.

Anyway, even if this news is told, there will be no loss to Li Xuan.

He came out this time just to suppress bandits and make money, and he had no intention of seizing life seeds.

Even though the life seed is good, you still have to take it.

Shiyu's eyes flashed, but he wasn't too surprised: "I guessed that this is the case. The Blood Lotus Sect is active in various prefectures in Taihu Province. Therefore, the reason for spreading suspicion is that they don't want people to discover the real place of blood sacrifice."

There was a pause.

She smiled charmingly: "Aren't you afraid of punishment from above for telling me such important news?"

Li Xuan said: "I am definitely not the first to know this news, and Miss Shiyu will not be the last, so it is not so important. Telling Miss Shiyu now can be regarded as repaying the favor of giving me the secret book and the lightning strike tree." .”

Hearing this, Shiyu looked surprised: "You actually practiced the "Huangting Thunder Prison Sutra"?!"

"That's not true, but I remember Miss Shiyu's favor."

Li Xuan did not reveal his strength.

When you go out, you still have to be cautious about everything.

Shiyu pursed her lips and smiled and said: "You are a eunuch who has clear grudges. No wonder you can please Sister Ya. When Sister Ya comes out, will you follow Sister Ya back to Simon?"

"Of course not. I help Empress Duanmu purely out of personal morality and not for any purpose." Li Xuan said with awe-inspiring righteousness.

Shiyu clicked her tongue, with some playfulness in her tone: "I really can't believe that there are such moral eunuchs like you in Dongchang."

In her impression, the eunuchs of Dongchang were notorious for being vicious and vicious.

Li Xuan ignored Shiyu's teasing and asked about some basic information about Heifeng Village.

For example, what is the strength of the master there, what specific skills are he specializing in, etc., so as to prevent him from being caught off guard when he encounters them.

"I once captured a senior executive of Black Wind Village and got a topographic map of Black Wind Village from him. If you want it, I can give it to you."

Shiyu laughed and said:

"But what are you going to give in exchange?"
