At night.

Commoner Prince's Mansion, backyard.

Li Ziye stepped forward, replaced the beads and returned them.

"Brother."

Huanzhu looked at his brother in front of him, bowed respectfully, and called out.

"Hard."

Li Ziye reached out and patted the girl in front of him on the shoulder, and said with a gentle expression, "Go back."

"Um."

Huanzhu nodded, hesitated, and said, "Brother, you should use my power sparingly, as it will put too much strain on your body."

"I see."

Li Ziye responded and said, "This time I had no choice but to do it. I didn't expect that there would be so many changes in the formation laid by Sa Zubu, cough cough."

At the end of the conversation, Li Ziye's chest felt tight and he covered his mouth and coughed several times.

"Brother."

When Huanzhu saw this, he looked worried and asked, "Are you okay?"

"fine."

Li Ziye put his hand down, held it gently, and said with a smile, "It's just that I was a little exhausted when I was in the underground palace, and I haven't recovered yet. Just rest for a few days."

"Then brother, please rest early."

Huanzhu warned, "I'm going back first."

"Go ahead."

Li Ziye said with a gentle expression.

Huanzhu nodded, said nothing more, stepped lightly on his feet, and left.

"Brother Li."

As soon as Huanzhu left, the door of the room not far away opened, Xiao Xiao walked out, looked at the people in the courtyard, and said, "Are you injured?"

"I can't hide this from you."

Li Ziye let go of his hand and saw blood dripping down.

"Brother Li, could it be that I have forgotten that I have the blood of Qinglong and my perception ability is different from ordinary people."

As he spoke, Xiao Xiao stepped forward and placed his delicate hands on the former's chest. True energy surged around his body and continued to flow into his body.

After a few breaths, Xiao Xiao stopped his hand and said softly, "Huan Zhu must have noticed it, but he just didn't say it."

"Thank you."

Li Ziye felt that the injuries in his body had improved a lot, and he said with a complicated expression, "Girls nowadays are hard to fool. They have become smarter. By the way, Xiao Xiao, I want to tell you something. I have a little trouble here.

, I want to borrow your Qinglong Sect’s brand to block it.”

"The brand of Qinglong Sect?"

Xiao Xiao was stunned for a moment, and after a moment, she came to her senses and said in surprise, "Are you going to be accused of marriage again?"

"So smart."

A smile appeared on Li Ziye's face and he said, "The royal family has started to make trouble again. Previously, I used the excuse of being poisoned and delayed it for some time. Unfortunately, a few days ago, I tried to protect you from the disaster. The royal family saw that I was fine, and then

I came up with this idea."

"I see."

Hearing this, Xiao Xiao nodded and said very grandly, "Okay, Brother Li, just let the news out that we two are in an affair, bah, Lang Qing concubine means, the Qinglong Sect and the Li family intend to arrange our marriage, and the Qinglong Sect serves as a shield.

, even if your emperor wants to propose marriage, Brother Li, you have a reason to refuse."

"It's not that I want to refuse, I just want to see what kind of conditions the royal family can offer in the end."

Li Ziye chuckled and said, "Even if you use the Qinglong Sect as a shield, you won't be able to stop him for long. Unless you fake it, you might as well take the opportunity to gain more chips."

When Xiao Xiao heard what the former said, his expression was shocked and he said with disbelief, "Brother Li, are you really going to use your marriage as a bargaining chip to negotiate terms with the royal family? Are you crazy?"

"You're not crazy, it's not a big deal."

Li Ziye smiled and responded, "The Li family is not yet ready to compete head-on with the royal family. If we want to go further, we must make sacrifices."

"Why bother?"

Xiao Xiao sighed softly and said, "This is a lifelong event for me. Brother Li, if you were asked to choose again, would you still choose to bring the Li family to the height it is today?"

"certainly."

Li Ziye replied without hesitation, "Xiao Xiao, you don't think that if the Li family is willing to be ordinary, everything will go well for us, right?"

At this point, Li Ziye paused and continued, "Xiao Xiao, you were born in the Qinglong Sect. You don't know how helpless it is to speak lightly. The Li family has come to this day. At least, except for the royal family, there is no need to look at anyone's face. However, ten

A few years ago, in the Li family, any powerful person could put the entire Li family to death. In this world, there is no good thing that can only be taken advantage of without paying the price."

Xiao Xiao was silent, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"Okay, it's not a matter of life and death. Why are you so sad?"

Li Ziye stretched out his hand to rub the hair of the girl in front of him and said with a smile, "Go back and rest. We will go to the White Lady tomorrow."

"Um."

Xiao Xiao nodded slightly, then smiled brightly and said, "Brother Li, do you want to sleep together?"

"I didn't sleep anymore. I rested for two hours during the day."

Li Ziye responded with a smile, "I'll practice swordsmanship for a while, but if I don't practice for a few days, I'm almost rusty."

"Okay, then I'll go to bed first."

Xiao Xiao responded without saying anything more, and turned around and returned to the room.

When the door closed, Xiao Xiao looked at the figure in the courtyard and sighed again in his heart.

Although this man is very handsome, he is too ruthless, even to himself.

At night, Li Ziye held a long sword and began to practice. The sword's edge was fast and slow, unpredictable, and cold to the bone.

The next day, everything was as before, Li Ziye took Nan'er and Xiao Xiao to Taixue Palace, and then to Jingmu Mansion to visit the White Lady.

With Xiao Xiao's help, most of the dragon beads in Bai Yuzhen's body have been integrated, and her cultivation is gradually recovering.

In the backyard of Jingmu Mansion, when Xiao Xiao was helping Bai Yuzhen fuse the Dragon Balls, outside the room, Li Ziye was fighting with Yun'er with a wooden sword. The two of them chased each other, running with sweat all over their heads.

Not far away, Xu Hanlin looked at Yun'er's happy look and was stunned.

As a father, it seems that he has never been so crazy with Yun'er.

"Uncle, I can't run anymore."

After running for a while, Yun'er sat down on the ground and said breathlessly, "I'll take a rest."

When Li Ziye saw this, he also stopped, stepped forward, sat next to the little fat man, and said with a smile, "I can't run anymore. I'm only a little bit close. You just caught up with me."

"Really?" Yun'er raised her head and asked.

"Really." Li Ziye nodded.

"Then let's continue."

Yun'er immediately became energetic and got up.

Li Ziye also quickly stood up, took the wooden sword, and continued running.

Just when Li Ziye and Xiao Xiao were helping the White Lady heal her wounds in the Jingmu Mansion, a chamberlain from the Shou'an Palace in the palace walked quickly, bowed respectfully, lowered his head and handed over a secret report, reporting, "

Your Majesty, a report from outside the palace."

In front of the chess table, Emperor Shang stared at the chessboard in front of him without saying a word.

Behind Emperor Shang, a young eunuch stepped forward, took the secret report, and placed it on the table.

About a quarter of an hour later, Emperor Shang put down the last chess piece, moved his eyes to the secret report on the table, and reached out to pick it up.

"Um?"

After quickly reading the contents of the secret report, Emperor Shang frowned slightly and narrowed his eyes slightly.

It turns out that it's not just the Dashang royal family that's eyeing the fat piece of Li family.

In addition, the Li family is indeed a family of merchants, and their ability to sell at a high price is truly extraordinary.

At the same time, Weiyang Palace and Guanshan Palace.

Queen Changsun and King Guanshan both received similar information and had different thoughts.

The Qinglong Sect is really ambitious and has extended its arms to the Central Plains.

"Murong."

In Weiyang Palace, Empress Changsun put down the information in her hands and said with a complex expression, "It seems that there will be many variables in your marriage to Li Jiaoxi. In addition to the Guanshan Palace, the Qinglong Sect may also have a hand in it."

On the side, Murong took the information sent from outside the palace. After reading it, he threw it into the brazier and said softly, "That's good. Li Jiaoxi and the Qinglong Holy Girl are talented and beautiful, and they make a good couple."

"You think too simply."

Empress Changsun sighed softly and said, "If the Qinglong Sect really intends to marry the Li family, the people coming to Dashang Capital City now should not be the Qinglong Saint, but the Qinglong Sect Master and the Qinglong Sect's elders. If I didn't
