Holding these two pieces of paper, Li Chenan walked around.

This is indeed Hua Manting's handwriting.

It’s just that Xi Wei means...this is a huge dowry!

Give you a big country!

If it were anyone else, I'm afraid it would be difficult to resist, but for Li Chen'an, this dowry really doesn't mean much.

This seems a bit childish.

It can't be said to be child's play.

After all, what Xi Wei is best at is strategy, he could have stolen this country.

Since Brother Hua knows Xi Wei's next plan, he is probably not far away from the last time he saw Xi Wei.

Not only did he not stop it, but he also used fortune-telling methods to bring himself and Miss Xiao together. So from Brother Hua's point of view, he agreed.

Could it be that Brother Hua, like Shang Di, has become a follower of Xi Wei?

This is extremely possible.

Li Chenan didn't have any other ideas about this. It was Brother Hua's right to choose.

The problem now is that since Xi Wei decided to do this, he must know about his relationship with Zhongli Ruoshui... He wants his daughter to be his queen, so he can be sure that he will take action against Ruoshui!

There are many masters around Zhongli Ruoshui.

Not only Sikong Bao and others, but also the disciples of Wan Xizhai, and the army of Dingguo Hou Mansion.

Shuzhou is a place where Dingguo Houfu has been cultivating for many years. If Xi Wei wants to make waves in Shuzhou and find an opportunity to attack Zhongli Ruoshui, what method will he use?

Li Chenan frowned slightly. Shuzhou is a place with a rather complicated situation. It borders Uihe. There are many bandits and many chieftain tribes...

These may all become forces that Xi Wei can use.

He needs chaos in Shuzhou and needs to find opportunities in the chaos.

What will he do?

This father-in-law is so careless!

Doesn't this cause trouble for me?

He took the fire fold and burned the two pieces of paper to ashes. Li Chenan sat there for a while before going downstairs.

Xiao Baozi is in the pavilion downstairs.

Li Chenan looked at her, and she looked up at Li Chenan.

Their eyes met and they smiled at each other.

"What are you laughing at?"

"I laugh at you like a flower!"

Xiao Baozi glanced at him and said, "I laugh at you like an ox!"

"But I am a tiger."

"Tiger is good, stronger!"

…

…

The 30th day of the twelfth lunar month in the 23rd year of Zhaohua.

Snow Ji.

It's sunny.

Li Chenan went to Peach Blossom Mountain early in the morning to burn incense and paper for Mrs. Fan and Wu Xichen. Instead of going to Peach Blossom Villa, he hurried back to Guangling City with a group of people, and headed towards the pier of Huaping Lake.

Crystal clear ice hung on the willow branches beside Huaping Lake.

Those ice crystals emit colorful light in the sun.

It also snows in winter in Wanxi Zhai.

There will be long ice strips hanging on the branches of those pine trees, which are more dazzling in the sun than the ice on the willow branches.

But Xiao Baozi, who was walking by Huaping Lake with Li Chenan, felt that the scenery here was more beautiful.

Maybe it's because of the person next to me.

People are in the heart, scenery is in the eyes.

Xiao Baozi swayed as he walked, and from time to time the clear water of the lake, and from time to time the person beside him, filled his heart with joy.

No worries or worries.

But there was a hint of worry on Li Chenan's face.

It's not that Xi Wei will use any means to mess up Shuzhou, but according to the plan, before he goes to Pingjiang City, the Military Intelligence Division of the Imperial City Division will send the latest information from Jiangnan, including the information of those officials in Jiangnan after the conferment of Ji Tai's line.

Actions, including news about the Jiangnan Shang clan and the Green Gang in the Jianghu...

But there is no news yet.

"That bird you raised, will it fly away?"

Li Chenan asked Xiao Baozi worriedly.

Xiao Baozi raised his eyebrows, "You can't throw it away, and the Prime Minister won't throw it away even if he throws it away."

The little black donkey walking slowly on the side raised its head. It seemed to understand what was said. It glanced at Xiao Baozi without concealing it, opened its mouth and made a protest sound of uh uh uh.

Li Chenan didn't ask any more questions, and the group arrived at the dock and boarded the Zhongli Mansion's painting boat.

Standing on the deck of the second floor, the boat was moving slowly, with the river breeze blowing on my face, which made it a bit cool.

Xiao Baozi was resistant to taking a boat.

But Li Chenan was going to visit Shang Di's grave on Peach Blossom Island, and Xiao Baozi had no choice but to follow.

The lake was clearly calm and the boat was moving very steadily, but her face turned pale.

Fortunately, the distance was not far, so Xiao Baozi flew off the boat and landed on the shore of Peach Blossom Island without waiting for the boat to dock.

Four women were standing on the shore.

They are the spring orchid, autumn chrysanthemum, summer lotus and winter plum beside Shang Di.

Shang Di passed away and his grave was on Peach Blossom Island. These four girls also returned to Peach Blossom Island and became the tombkeepers here.

They had never seen Xiao Baozi, but they had not drawn their swords.

Because of the approaching boat.

Also because of the young man standing on the bow of the boat.

When the boat docked, Li Chenan and his party stood on Peach Blossom Island, and the four girls bowed in unison.

"My slaves welcome the young master!"

The four girls, Li Chenan, had already met each other. They exchanged greetings with each other and then, under their guidance, they walked towards Shang Di's tomb.

"When the head of the family was alive, he left a last word, saying that this Peach Blossom Island would be given to Miss Liang Manmanliang."

Chunlan walked and said to Li Chenan: "From now on, Miss Liang will be the owner of Peach Blossom Island."

"It's just that we don't know when Miss Liang will come here, and we don't know if the young master has ever seen Miss Liang?"

Li Chenan shook his head.

My days in Kyoto were really tight.

I had several opportunities to go to Yihong Mansion, but I never made it, so I never met Miss Liang, who was highly praised by Shang Di.

It’s been so long since I’ve been in this world and I haven’t been to a holy place like a brothel. This is really a pity.

The passing of Mr. Shang Di Shang is an even greater regret.

If this old man were still here, I think this Peach Blossom Island would not be as deserted as it is now... There must be some New Year atmosphere, but now there are still many white flags hanging on the peach trees on Peach Blossom Island.

Perhaps when the peach blossoms bloom in March next year, the colors here will become brighter.

We arrived at Shang Di’s tomb.

Li Chenan respectfully put on the incense wax, burned the paper money, and said something to the man in the tomb:

"Ideals can really kill people sometimes."

"I hope your ideal is not so lofty. I hope your ideal is to compose some unique masterpieces."

"With you guys gone, who will compose music for my poems that have not yet appeared in the world?"

“Suddenly tasteless.”

"But since your ideal is more noble than composing music, what can I say to you?"

"I can only do something."
