On July 13, the 23rd year of Zhaohua, Li Chenan left Guangling City and set off for Yujing City in Kyoto with Su Muxin and Murong He.

I left a little hastily because Wen Xiaowan, the number one at Ningxiang Pavilion, was missing.

She disappeared on the ninth day of July.

On the night of July 8th, Li Chenan slept in her room, and Yang Sixian left on July 9th. She must have really jumped into Yang Sixian's trap.

It was already July 12th when Li Chenan knew about this.

He didn't know if Wen Xiaowan was dead.

He stood on the second floor of Wen Xiaowan's apartment and got the bed where he had slept all night. The quilts on the bed were neatly folded and the room was neatly tidied.

There is a letter on the desk by the window.

There are only a few lines in the letter:

"You slept like a pig that night!

I turned away all the guests that night.

I was sitting in front of the bed, with you sleeping very sweetly. At that time, I had the idea of ​​eating you, but you said the name of the third lady in my dream, which made me very melancholy.

Living, for me, is a kind of pain.

Unexpectedly, I fell in love with someone I shouldn't have liked.

I left to seek death.

You can leave the Ningxiang Pavilion to Grandma Rong. She is the old man of the Ningxiang Pavilion. She can help you keep the Ningxiang Pavilion in order.

goodbye!

May you always sleep like a pig!"

Li Chenan sighed and put the piece of paper into his arms.

"What a silly bitch!"

"I should have told you earlier that I am passive!"

He left Ningxiang Pavilion and went to Boiyu Xiaozhu, deciding to set off immediately.

Go to Kyoto!

If Wen Xiaowan had not died and had gone to Kyoto earlier and caught up with Yang Sixian before he went to Mobei, maybe Wen Xiaowan could be brought back.

Of course there is another way, to find Shang Di in Kyoto and let his Imperial City Secretary come forward to solve this problem.

After leaving the Ningxiang Pavilion, Li Chenan went to Boiyu Xiaozhu, explained some things to Ye Po, and then went to some places.

For example, the blacksmith shop by the Peach Blossom River.

He took the dagger Li Gang made for him and twenty little Li flying knives, and explained some things to Huang Sanlie, especially the purchase of sugar cane.

Then he went to the government office and chatted for a long time with Huo Chuanming, the prefect of Guangling, in the backyard.

Finally, he returned to Li's Mansion. That night, he talked a lot with his father.

Of course Li Wenhan was very worried.

"Kyoto... If there is danger, you can still go find your eldest uncle and your second uncle... After all, we are a family, and they won't just sit idly by."

Li Chenan was noncommittal about this and just smiled.

"There's no danger. I'm just going to Kyoto to meet a few people. If everything goes well, I'll probably be back around October."

"You should also be careful, especially with your current status."

The Yulong Club was not popular with people, and Li Wenhan didn't know about Liu Zuo's assassination, otherwise he would probably tie up Li Chenan and not let him enter the capital.

"Bring more money with you on the way. Everything in Kyoto is very expensive!"

"Well, this is a thousand taels of silver notes. If you keep them at home, they can be considered as your family's expenses in the past few months."

Li Chen'an took out a thousand taels of silver notes from his arms and handed it to his mother. Ding Xiao'e was surprised and quickly refused. Of course, in the end it was Li Chen'an who forced it into her hand.

"Chendong needs money to study, and his family's life should be better. My sister is growing taller, so don't make her look sallow and skinny. That would be bad."

"In addition... you like to drink peach blossom wine. I have told Butler Huang that he will send someone to bring it to you, but you should drink less wine. This is not to save money, but it is not good for your health.

."

That night, the father and son talked a lot.

The past seems to have been forgotten, and the words are a little more warm and caring.

This made Li Qiaoxi, who was sitting next to her with her chin in her hands, very happy, but Ding Xiao'e still seemed a little nervous.

Her expression was a bit complicated, and she even lowered her head most of the time. This was Li Chen'an's mother's worry.

Because he had never left Guangling City before, let alone traveled far away.

She went to the bedroom and gave Li Chenan a pair of new shoes, but she didn't say too many words of concern.

When Li Chenan left the East Courtyard and returned to the South Courtyard where he lived, and when Li Qiaoxi also returned to her room, Ding Xiaoe turned to Li Wenhan, hesitated for a long time, and asked: "What if I write him a letter?"

If I send the letter...will you be angry?"

Li Wenhan was silent for a long time, then stood up and looked at the stars and moon in the night sky.

"Then write him a letter. After all, the water in Kyoto is too deep."

"But I have to tell him that I still prefer Chen'an to stay in Guangling. It will be more peaceful than Kyoto anyway."

…

…

The Huajian Pavilion is located three miles east of Guangling City.

Li Chen calmed down his master Wu Xichen, patted open the mud seal of a painting screen, poured two bowls of wine, and handed one bowl to Wu Xichen.

"Where have you been these nights?"

Wu Xichen took the wine bowl and smiled: "It's on Peach Blossom Mountain."

"...What are you doing?"

"The lights of thousands of families in Guangling City."

"What's so good about it?"

"It's very good. The main thing is that the mind can be calm. When this person gets old, he likes that kind of purity. In the purity, he can recall some of the past and think about the future that is not long."

"For example, if I never marry, I will naturally have no descendants. Who will take care of me for the rest of my life?"

Li Chenan grinned and said, "Me! I must be the one to take care of you until you die!"

"I will buy you the best coffin and bury you on Peach Blossom Mountain, so that you can see the peach blossoms all over the mountains and plains every spring, and you can see the lights of thousands of families in Guangling City every night."

Wu Xichen also laughed, his eyes filled with relief.

"Then I must come back alive!"

"Must come back alive!"

"But if I don't come back...if you have mastered the eighteen moves of the Fuji Zhou Tian Jue, you can go to the Sword Washing Tower of Wu State on your behalf!"

"Go, if the Xijian Tower is still safe, then that's it."

"If the Sword Washing Tower is not going well...you just do something about it."

"good!"

"You went to Kyoto, which is actually more dangerous than my teacher going to fight with the Jiudeng monk. We are about to leave, so I want to send you a few words."

"Disciples are all ears!"

Wu Xichen looked towards the lush grass outside the Huajian Pavilion, "If you want to grow into a big tree, don't fight with the grass."

"The general has a sword, but he cannot kill grass flies."

"When you encounter a dead person, stop your losses immediately."

"If something bad happens...get out of here in time!"

Li Chenan held the wine bowl in both hands and bowed respectfully.

"Disciple, remember this! I offer this bowl of wine to Master. When we return, we will meet again on Peach Blossom Mountain!"

"Okay!" Wu Xichen also picked up the wine bowl, and they drank from the same bowl.

He wiped his lips, turned around, and waved with his back to Li Chenan: "When I come back, you can support me until I die!"

“It’s a deal!”

Li Chenan looked at that lonely figure, and suddenly his nose became sore, "Get in the car and let's go!"

"Let's go to Kyoto, the prosperity of Kyoto!"
