Emperor Wu, who had just ascended the throne, finally felt a hint of the cold winter wind after the attack on his young maid, but the Queen began to worry about Xiao Hei's safety.

Qingyu's wound was quietly recovering, but the prime minister remained unsmiling when he went to court, as if nothing had happened.

There were several heavy rains in the summer, causing the summer flowers in the Imperial Garden to bloom and fade.

And Li Xiuyuan, who brought Monk Huiming and Shuzi with him, had arrived at the Prince's Village back then.

It's Mingyue after passing Youzhou. Li Xiuyuan, who came all the way to Prince Village, can no longer find the small courtyard where Meng Jiang and the old man lived. The yellow sand has been long for hundreds of years, and things have changed.

On the contrary, the courtyard built by Prince Su for the Prime Minister's Mansion is still hidden in the long yellow sand, waiting for the return of its owner.

When Li Xiuyuan waved his hand to lift the ban on the courtyard, and a golden light rose, the yellow sand covering the courtyard was blown away by a whirlwind, revealing what it looked like hundreds of years ago.

Li Xiuyuan looked at Shuzi and sighed: "This is the house where Mr. Su and Miss Xiangfu lived in the Great Wall. They should have lived here for more than ten years."

Huiming didn't understand it for a moment, but he felt the strong power of time in front of him.

As Li Xiuyuan pushed open the courtyard gate, he and the drivers of the two carriages rewarded them with travel expenses and hard-earned money, allowing them to return to the imperial city all the way.

Going further, you have to rent a car in the village.

Shuzi moved into the courtyard, fetched water, cleaned the living room, and went to tidy up her room. In her opinion, the eldest brother might need to rest here for some days before moving on.

Even the monk Huiming gave up his past, drew water from the well, and went to clean up the room himself. This made Li Xiuyuan very emotional.

It turns out that a former emperor can become a mortal after letting go.

You can also devote yourself to Buddha to find his way to eternal life.

When it was time to get busy, Li Xiuyuan finally boiled a pot of water in the living room, preparing to make a pot of spiritual tea to eliminate all the travel dust.

At this time Shuzi also came back from outside and bought a basket of vegetables and pears.

He washed a few and came to the living room, handed one to Hui Ming, grabbed one and gnawed it, put the rest in front of Li Xiuyuan, and asked with a smile: "This yard is so strong, it can withstand hundreds of years of wind and rain."

fall."

It was only then that Huiming said with emotion: "So it turns out that sir is really a god coming to this world?"

Shuzi smiled: "My eldest brother is already a god. How else could he come from Da Qin to Da Zhou?"

Li Xiuyuan did not avoid this matter. After all, Huiming would never return to the world, and Shuzi would never leave him. Neither of them could be considered outsiders.

Being able to bring a dying person back to life is an incredible thing.

Li Xiuyuan poured the spirit tea for the two of them, sighed and said, "This house was built by His Highness the Crown Prince of Da Qin for his wife when I was in Prince Village."

Shuzi sighed and said: "Oh, it's a good thing that big brother is here. Otherwise, that stupid guy Zhang Liang would not marry Miss Xiangfu as his wife. Then Shuzi would not be able to know big brother and Xiao Hei."

Speaking of Xiao Hei, Huiming couldn't help but frown slightly, looked at Li Xiuyuan and asked: "If we leave in a hurry and leave Xiao Hei alone in the palace, will anything happen?"

Shuzi thought for a while, shook her head and said, "Is everything going to be okay?"

Li Xiuyuan smiled and said: "Even if something happens, he has to learn to face it by himself. He can't hide by my side forever, right?"

There are still some things Li Xiuyuan didn't say. After all, the new emperor has just ascended the throne and the queen is looking at Xiao Hei. What big trouble can it cause.

Even if he takes ten thousand steps back, Xiao Hei can't solve the problem and can still sneak out of the palace.

As long as he returns to No. 47, the wind and rain in the imperial city will no longer be able to blow on him.

"Brother, this way we will reach the Great Wall, right?" Shuzi had always longed for the desert, and seeing that she had arrived at the foot of the Great Wall, she couldn't help but feel excited.

Li Xiuyuan smiled faintly, pointed behind him and said: "After the pass of the Great Wall, you will reach the desert area. Back then, General Meng led the Qin army and fought countless times with the Huns."

Huiming sighed softly upon hearing this and murmured to himself: "Even though the Xiongnu were so powerful, they were eventually divided up by the major Turkic tribes."

"The Huns are gone?"

This incident came as a surprise to Li Xiuyuan. In his opinion, a child like Xiaohu should not be weaker than Zhang Liang's master, the mysterious old man, when he grows up.

Unexpectedly, the Xiongnu dynasty, which gave even King Qin a headache, would disappear in the long river of time.

The night at the border was not as hot as in the imperial city, and for the first time Hui Ming felt that there was still a coolness in the hot summer.

Sitting under the jujube tree in the yard, looking at the green jujubes hanging on the branches shining dimly in the moonlight, even Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but sigh.

Looking at the two men, he said: "According to historical records, Prince Su and General Meng were killed by Zhao Gao and Prince Hai in the end, but the world never thought that I had a plan to hide it."

Huiming was shocked and blurted out: "So they didn't die under the sword of the traitor?"

Shuzi thought for a moment and smiled: "If it were that easy, my eldest brother wouldn't have personally escorted Miss Xiangfu to the border back then."

After pouring the spirit tea for the two of them, Li Xiuyuan took a bite of the pear and felt the sweet juice flowing between his chest and abdomen, finally feeling a little proud in his heart.

He smiled faintly and said: "Just like you, using a piece of yellow paper to steal the sky and change the sun... Who in the entire imperial city would have known that what was buried in the imperial mausoleum would be a rune?"

"Sir, you really have a bodhisattva heart, you are so kind." Huiming couldn't help but praise him after hearing this.

Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Young Master Su is Zhang Liang's friend. I felt soft-hearted for a moment, so I came up with a plan for them to change the situation."

Upon hearing this, Shuzi couldn't help but ask: "Brother, where did Young Master Su go with Miss Xiangfu?"

"There is another person you can't think of. She was also picked up by me on the road."

Li Xiuyuan smiled and said: "That is Meng Jiang who traveled thousands of miles to the Great Wall to find her husband. I asked them to go to the East China Sea together to find Xu Fu on the sea."

Having said this, Li Xiuyuan laughed proudly: "No one would have thought that when I accompanied Xu Fu on a trip to the East China Sea, I would have changed his physique to the same as that of your husband Zhang Liang."

"No wonder there is no news about Young Master Su and Xu Fu in the world. So they really went to sea?"

Shuzi murmured to herself: "If I had known this, I should have asked my husband to go to sea to find Xu Fu."

"So the legend is true. Xu Fu really went to sea to find the fairy mountain?" Huiming also said.

"I don't know what happened next. When I went to sea with Xu Fu, there were no immortals on Penglai Island, only bandits. When we came back, we fell into the sea and Xu Fu almost drowned."

Li Xiuyuan sighed and said: "Everyone should not envy others when they have opportunities. I just helped them without violating the laws of heaven, just like Zhang Liang."

Regarding the assassination of Qin, Zhang Liang later informed Shuzi one by one over the long years, saying that without his elder brother's advice, he might have died impulsively by the general's sword.

And Shuzi has been thinking about when her eldest brother will return, so how can she blame him?

In her opinion, being able to accompany Zhang Liangxiao to watch the rise and fall of two dynasties was already a very remarkable thing.

Right now, she only has one idea, and that is to follow her eldest brother and Xiao Hei to see more of the world.

She wants to become an immortal.

Having said this, Li Xiuyuan looked at Huiming and said with a smile: "The opportunity for you and me is because of the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva on the Buddhist altar. If you want to thank me, then practice Buddhism seriously."

Huiming squinted his eyes and nodded and replied: "In this way, Huiming's life was given by Bodhisattva."

"You can understand it this way. In my opinion, Buddha and demon are just a matter of a thought. In the same way, sometimes life and death are just a choice between a thought."

Li Xiuyuan looked at Shuzi and sighed: "I really didn't expect that this jujube tree could survive for so long."

Shuzi smiled lightly: "Shuzi also didn't expect that she would be able to wait for her brother and Xiao Hei back in endless years."

…

People in the sky are flying in the sky, and people on the earth are chasing them on the ground.

Li Xiuyuan got up early and walked all the way to the small courtyard where he and Meng Jiang lived.

The old man's yard has collapsed in the sand of time, and even the jujube tree has grown old, leaving only a dry stump.

Silently, with his spiritual consciousness released, Li Xiuyuan wanted to find a trace of his old friend here.

Carding inch by inch, the yellow sand in the ground was filtered out.

Just as he sighed and was about to leave, he accidentally felt something strange three feet below his feet.

So he took out his iron sword and started digging.

At the end, three wine jars were buried, which were obviously tokens left by Meng Jiang to his eldest brother.

It felt very light when I dug out a jar, so I patted it open carefully. What I saw before my eyes was something tightly wrapped in oilcloth.

Li Xiuyuan sighed, put away the remaining two jars of wine, wiped his hands clean, then carefully unfolded the oilcloth and opened the countless layers of silk.

At first glance, it turned out to be a letter left to him by Meng Jiang.

Brother, Meng Jiang is so excited today. I finally broke through to the fifth level of the Golden Elixir. How great would it be if you were still here?

An imperial edict has arrived in the imperial city. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the general are in danger. Between life and death, we opened the brocade bag you left.

…

We decided to leave Prince Village. The uncle and aunt were in good health, but they refused to leave with Meng Jiang.

We are going to the East China Sea to find a new life. Just as my brother said, the former Crown Prince and General Meng are both dead, and the prime minister’s sister also died under the imperial edict...

Brother, the jujube tree in the yard has a lot of fruit this year. Meng Jiang misses you so much...

The uncle and aunt said, thank you for letting them see more years...

Goodbye, big brother, I hope we can meet again at sea one day...

Just a few lines of words felt very friendly in Li Xiuyuan's eyes.

Silently, he filled up the pit on the ground, and with a wave of his hand, the silk in his hand turned into ashes in an instant.

He is the only one who knows this secret. Even if he tells Shuzi and Xiaohei, it is just talk.
To be continued...
