Xue Yuexuan is different from Taihua Valley. Taihua Valley is isolated and protected by formations, so there are no worries. Outsiders know that there are very few people in Taihua Valley.
Xue Yuexuan is a first-rate sect, and its martial arts are well known. Once it is rumored that it has colluded with the Duke's government, it will have a great impact on Xue Yuexuan.
"Are you disappointed?" Shen Yinghu chuckled.
Chu Li said: "I understand Master Xuan."
"You will always be disappointed." Shen Yinghu said with a smile: "There is no way, Xuan mainly considers not his own feelings, but Xue Yuexuan's interests...but although Xue Yuexuan can't help, I can."
Chu Li smiled and said: "Thank you, senior."
Shen Yinghu sighed: "After all, my identity is different. I am helping in a private capacity, and no one else can say much... When will we set off?"
"Senior, let's make arrangements, how about we just leave?" Chu Li said: "Senior, don't worry, stay on my island in the Duke's Mansion, no one will come to disturb you."
"Well, it's up to you." Shen Yinghu nodded lightly.
After a while, Shen Yinghu came back again.
Chu Li held her wrist across Luo Xiu, and after a few flashes, returned to the Duke's Mansion.
There were several small courtyards on his island for entertaining guests, and he lived in one in Shenying Lake.
Usually only Bi Liu and Xiao Shi come to the island, and no one else comes, so I'm not afraid of anyone seeing Shen Yinghu.

In the evening, Yue Jintao was sitting in a restaurant drinking.
The long knife was placed on the table. He held the wine glass and looked down at the people coming and going on the street, filled with emotion.
Ordinary people's lives are beautiful, but they are fragile, like soap bubbles that break with the slightest touch.
My life is monotonous and boring, but it is better to be long-term and solid.
Protect these ordinary people so that they can enjoy it longer and live happily themselves. Those guys who wantonly destroy others to fulfill their own selfish desires should all die!
From ordinary people to martial arts masters, to high-ranking officials, nobles and even princes, there are countless villains. They are all bitches who were born to die. I want to cut off their heads one by one with my long knife to restore peace to the world!
Thinking of this, he was so proud that he looked up to the sky and drank it all in one gulp.
When he put down his wine glass, he thought of King An.
What happened last time, I helped King An, and the grudges were settled.
King An has a virtuous reputation, but he is sinister at heart. He is an unscrupulous guy. If such a guy really becomes the emperor, it will be either a blessing or a curse, and the people will suffer.
It's a pity that he is just a martial arts man and a villager in the mountains. He can kill evil people, but he cannot kill people like An Wang. There are too many masters around him, and he died before he could get close. What a pity!
Chu Li's fate was also high last time. Otherwise, if he died because of himself, his sin would be great.
Although Chu Li is a hawk in the Duke's palace, he has a bright mind, which is really rare.
My previous thinking was wrong. Not all the eagles and dogs in the court were evil thieves, but there were also bright people like Chu Li. Unfortunately, they had different identities and could not interact with each other. It was a pity in life!
Thinking of this, he filled up the wine glass again and drank it all.
The sound of footsteps sounded, and his ears twitched. This person's footsteps were slight, as if there was no trace, and he had a high, deep, light skill, and he was coming towards him!
He put down the wine glass and pressed the long knife, ready to draw the knife at any time.
"But Mr. Yue?" A man's voice came from behind: "Under the seat of Mr. Chu, I will send a letter to Mr. Yue for Mr. Chu."
Yue Jintao turned his head and looked.
A strong young man is holding a letter in his hands.
Yue Jintao said in a deep voice: "General Manager Chu of Duke Yi's Mansion?"
"Exactly." Jiang Huai said.
Yue Jintao used his long knife to pick it up. The light of the knife flashed and one end of the envelope had been cut off. The tip of the knife gently picked out the letter.
He reached out and picked up the letter, shook it open, glanced at it a few times, and frowned.
Jiang Huai clasped his fists and said, "The letter has been delivered. I'll take my leave!"
Yue Jintao said: "Mr. Chu, don't you have to wait for my reply?"
Jiang Huai shook his head and said: "I am only ordered to deliver the letter and don't care about other things."
"...Okay, I understand." Yue Jintao hummed: "I owe Manager Chu a favor, and I will return it to him, so that he can rest assured!"
"Farewell!" Jiang Huai clasped his fists and walked away.
Yue Jintao received the letter in his arms, looked at the pedestrians coming and going downstairs, and fell into thought again.

Chu Li took Xiao Shi and left the Duke's Mansion again and moved into Qingyun City.
Living in Qingyun City, Xiao Shi seemed to be isolated from the world. He didn't have to worry about anything, not to worry about his wedding in a few days, or to worry about the worldly affairs, and his mood became calm.
Time kept passing by, and the wedding day finally arrived.
If she was a girl from an ordinary family, or a concubine of the royal family, she would be taken to the capital in advance, and then on the day of the wedding, Prince An would not have to go too far to welcome the bride, and the wedding would be completed on the same day.
But this time, it was a young lady from the Duke's Palace, she was Prince An's concubine, and the emperor had personally arranged the marriage, so naturally it couldn't be like this.
It needs to be on the largest scale and with the most solemn ceremony.
In the early morning, King An took sixteen sedans with him and all the palace's ceremonial guards. They left Shendu in a grand manner and went to the Duke's Mansion in Chongming City to welcome the bride.
After leaving the city, they gathered up the ceremonial guard and accelerated. It was expected that they would arrive at Chongming City on the third day. If they wanted to have a good time, they would not be able to enter Chongming City until the fourth day.
Six masters from Heaven and Earth accompanied him to protect King An.
Both Gu Yue and Ding Jian were killed by Chu Li. Besides the monk Xu Ning, who was accompanying King An, there were also the guard commander of Prince An's palace, Zheng Lide, and the deputy commander, Meng Zhi, with four masters from the outer world.
As a prince, six masters from the outer world are already the limit, and any more would be beyond the limit.
Early the next morning, they had just set off when Meng Zhi came over and reported: "Your Highness, Chu Li, the manager of Duke Yi's Mansion, has come to greet them."
"Chu Li?" An Wangjun's face darkened and he said coldly: "He is here?"
Meng Zhi lowered his head and did not dare to say more: "Yes, he brought two masters from Heaven and Earth, saying that he came to greet His Highness."
"Huh, come on, come on!" King An said coldly.
Meng Zhi stepped back cautiously.
He knew the knot in King An's heart, and he quickly eliminated Chu Li, but failed to kill him with all his attacks, and instead killed two generals.
As a prince, when have you ever been so angry?
But this guy's identity is special, so he can't deal with him openly, he can only do it secretly.
After a while, Chu Li led two old men on horseback, galloping like thunder. When they got close, they reined in their horses fiercely.
"Yu..." Amidst the long neighing sound, the three horsemen stood up.
Chu Li jumped off his horse, ignoring the murderous intent of the guards around King An who were glaring with their swords, ready to cut him down at any moment. He cupped his fists and saluted: "Chu Li, the first-class bodyguard of the Duke's Mansion, has met His Royal Highness King An!"
"When did you get promoted to the first rank?" King An sat on the horse, narrowed his eyes slightly, stared at him condescendingly, and said coldly: "Did you get promoted too quickly?"
The Duke's Mansion and the Imperial Court are of the same rank as the Prince's Mansion.
Chu Li was of the first rank in the Duke's Mansion, and when he arrived at the Prince's Mansion, he was also of the first rank.
Prince An's Mansion still does not have first-class bodyguards and bodyguards. As soon as Chu Li entered the palace, he was the highest-ranking one, and even the guard commander Zheng Lide had to salute him.
King An secretly cursed, this move is really disgusting!
"Everything is a gift from the eldest son." Chu Li clasped his fists in the direction of Chongming City in the south and said seriously: "The eldest son has a different status and it is inconvenient to come to greet His Highness in person. I have sent you to greet him on your behalf. I hope that His Highness will be considerate!"
"Well, I understand, let's hit the road." King An said calmly: "Chu Li, please follow me. I have something to ask you."
"Yes, Your Highness." Chu Li nodded solemnly.
He got on his horse, and the horse's head retreated a little, one step behind King An.
He performed these etiquettes meticulously and could not fault anything.
