After the two left, Chu Li and Xiao Qi were the only ones left in the courtyard.
Xiao Qi glanced at him lightly.
Chu Li smiled and said: "Miss, let's go too, I can do it alone."
"What will you do if someone takes action? You can't just run away!" Xiao Qi said.
Chu Li nodded: "That's true, then there is Miss Lao."
"I will buy two houses tomorrow." Xiao Qi said, "Just live in one house each."
Chu Li looked at her helplessly.
Xiao Qi said: "Men and women still need to be guarded. They can't live in the same room."
"Alas..." Chu Li shook his head: "Miss, is your Supreme Sword Sutra heated enough?"
It seems that Xiao Qi has seen through her own intentions. The moon comes first when you are close to the water and the tower, and love grows over time. The two of them live alone in this small town. Over time, water will penetrate the stone, and no matter how strict they are, they can't prevent it.
"Yes." Xiao Qi said, "I am going to have a retreat in the near future."
Chu Li said: "That's fine."
He secretly planned to use one house as a retreat and the other for daily use.
Xiao Qi went with him to Yahang in the city and found two connected houses. They were two old houses by the river in the east end of the city. There were moss on the stone steps and grass growing between the bluestones in the courtyard.
Chu Li and Xiao Qi are very satisfied with this.
As soon as you go out, you will see a clear river. You can wash clothes and sail on the river. The weeping willows on the river are graceful and graceful. They move gently in the wind like mist and smoke.
Behind the house was a shop, and they bought it together with the shop.
The shop originally sold grain, but is now closed.
The store is located on one side of the central axis street, facing the bustling and lively street.
Although this small city is far from the prosperity of Shendu City, it is not inferior to Qingyun City, or even better than Qingyun City. After all, most of the people who are qualified to come here are rich and powerful, and they all have bulging pockets and spend money lavishly.
, so it can attract skilled craftsmen from all over the world, and the small town has many strange people.
Chu Li has no plans to open a shop. He is not short of money and does not want to be distracted by such mundane things. Money will inevitably cause trouble. You can never make money without paying attention. There are always various things to deal with.
He planned to study the White Tiger Magic Skill carefully.
In the evening, as the sun set, the two of them left the newly bought house to have dinner. As Xiao Qi, the third young lady of the Duke's mansion, how could she cook? So the two of them went to a restaurant in the small town for dinner.
The surroundings were extremely lively. The two of them were sitting at a table by the window, chatting and eating.
"Can he give up and give up?" Xiao Qi took a sip of wine.
She had taken off her white gauze, revealing her pure and beautiful face, attracting prying eyes from all around her.
Xiao Qihun didn't care, and just stared at Chu Li with a frown: "Forcing him to admit defeat will eventually lead to hidden dangers. I'm afraid he will plot something secretly at the critical moment!"
"It's not yet hot yet." Chu Li said with a smile: "Take it easy first and deal with him slowly. If this guy doesn't crush him to death, he will jump out sooner or later."
"As long as you understand." Xiao Qi was finally relieved.
She was afraid that Chu Li didn't care about Chang Guihun. Aren't these villains often bad things? Especially at such a critical moment for Chu Li, if Chang Gui took the risk of offending him and participated in the book, the consequences would be unpredictable.
Chu Li was suddenly startled and raised his voice: "Commander Xu!"
The middle-aged man who was slowly going upstairs looked up and saw Chu Li. He smiled and it was Xu Huande.
He was wearing a gray-brown gown and looked abjectly.
Chu Li stood up and clasped his fists, Xu Huande came closer and sighed: "I didn't expect that we would become brothers in trouble, and you are here too!"
"Come and accompany Commander Xu." Chu Li said with a smile.
Xiao Qi just kept her mouth closed and didn't say much.
Xu Huande said: "Why are you assigned here?"
Chu Li glanced around and said with a smile: "I told Prince Ping who was the mastermind."
Xu Huande's expression changed, he pondered for a moment and shook his head: "Why are you doing this? You are asking for trouble!"
"There's nothing you can do about it. You can't change your temper." Chu Li said, "Commander Xu should be reinstated, right?"
"It's difficult." Xu Huande shook his head: "The position has been occupied, and his holy family is flourishing. The emperor will trust him more and will not immediately erase his position as deputy commander. In the eyes of the emperor, I will stay longer."
It doesn’t matter how many years it takes.”
"Alas..." Chu Li shook his head: "Then how could you be injured, Commander Xu?"
He could tell at a glance that Xu Huande was seriously injured, but he tried to pretend that nothing had happened.
There was a faint internal energy swirling in his internal organs, which was constantly eroding his internal organs, and his body was deteriorating. At this rate, he would have to lie down in less than two days.
Xu Huande showed a wry smile.
In the Secret Guard Mansion, he had always had a sullen face, as if he was wearing an iron mask. He had no other expression and remained calm about everything. He seemed numb and indifferent, but now he showed a sigh: "The Secret Guard Mansion has offended me.
Too many people are being reckoned with when they get here."
"They are so bold!" Chu Li's face darkened.
Xu Huande said: "Forget it, they are all from Outer Ling or Inner Ling, and they are unscrupulous. There is nothing you can do against them. Besides, you have lost your martial arts now!"
Chu Li nodded slowly.
"By the way, you have to be careful, you are also from the Secret Guard Mansion." Xu Huande said solemnly: "I'm afraid it will be difficult to move around in the city!"
"It doesn't matter, I'm not going to work on an errand." Chu Li said with a smile: "A few princes begged for mercy, and I got a casual job. I don't have to go out at ordinary times. I just need to practice slowly at home."
"I'm just afraid that if I sit at home, trouble will come from the sky!" Xu Huande shook his head and then smiled: "I don't have that kind of luck, and I don't dare to give up my martial arts like you."
He knew that he would not enter the imperial mausoleum if he lost his martial arts. If he could live outside the city, it would be easier for him to be recruited back by the emperor.
But his identity determined that he could not take this path.
If he had no martial arts skills, the emperor would not use him and would not be able to recall him to the capital of the gods. Furthermore, he also understood his own situation and knew that he would not get good results when he came to the imperial mausoleum. He would be squeezed out and suppressed, with no one to rely on.
, the martial arts is gone again, it is really a piece of fish, being slaughtered by others, miserable!
Chu Li nodded and smiled: "If you don't enter the outer mausoleum, there won't be so many grievances, right?"
"People from Wailing can come out." Xu Huande shook his head: "They will definitely make trouble for you, and you won't be able to escape even if you are afraid of hiding!"
"I'm still protected by the young lady." Chu Li said with a smile.
Xu Huande shook his head: "The rules of the attached city are that non-family members cannot settle down, and they can only stay for a maximum of seven days."
Chu Li raised his eyebrows.
"Once the seven days have passed and Miss Xiao leaves, who can protect you?" Xu Huande said.
"Only family members?" Chu Li frowned.
Xiao Qi also frowned and said nothing.
Xu Huande said: "If Miss Xiao is your wife, you can stay, but if Miss Xiao is not, then you can only leave after seven days. No one can violate this rule!"
"What else can I do to stay?" Xiao Qi asked.
Xu Huande said: "Brothers and sisters can only be direct relatives, and those who are not related by blood can only be husband and wife."
Chu Li smiled and said: "It seems that I have to live alone."
Xu Huande said: "Now that you have lost your martial arts, don't think that they will follow the rules of the martial arts and let you go. Instead, they will get worse!"
