There are many rules in the palace. Li Xiu left Mulin Garden and walked straight out of the palace. He has been in the palace more than once, but that was the case after all when he was a child, many years ago.

I can't remember many places in the palace.

Even Chang'an City was familiar and unfamiliar to him, but he knew that Chang'an City was divided into two counties, with Zhuque Street as the boundary, Wannian County to the east, and Chang'an County to the west.

Apart from this, Li Xiu didn't remember much.

The one who remembers the most is not the royal palace, but the Taibai Building.

Taibai Building has three wonders.

The best fish belly roast, the best braised knife, and the best in the world.

Shangren is a brothel place, or an extremely top brothel. Everyone who goes there is a high-ranking official and a prominent family. There are only two things about the people who are hiding here.

Money, or power.

Shangrenjian is not far from Taibai Tower, only a street, but if you look down at Chang'an City from the sky, you will find that Taibai Tower and Shangrenjian are actually next to each other.

It seems to be on two irrelevant streets, but in fact it can easily run around each other.

Chang'an City is very big. It took Li Xiu half an hour to walk from the palace to Taibai Building. Xu Yingxiu naturally needs no more. What is surprising is that Yang Buding didn't say a word from beginning to end.

"Three guests, don't know what to eat?"

Entering the building, I walked up to the third floor and found a seat to sit down. In a moment, a little brother came over with a white towel and took a page of paper.

"Three servings of fish belly roast, two pots of braised knives, a glass of sake, and a plate of blue lobster."

Li Xiu reached out and stroked the page of paper a few randomly. The white paper shone with white light and wrote down his words.

"Okay, please wait for a moment."

The second brother took the blank paper, looked at Li Xiu in surprise, and then responded and walked downstairs.

The service crowd in Taibailou is very expensive, so the second brother remembers clearly that although the young man in front of him is beautiful, he has a very good look.

You must know that the page he took was very exquisite.

If it weren't for an old customer, I didn't know how to use it, but the young man in blue shirt had no obstruction when using it. From this point of view, it can be judged that this is a regular customer.

"I'm glad you made a wise choice."

Before the wine and food arrived, Li Xiu poured a cup of tea and pushed it to Yang Buding, and said with a smile.

"I can't see clearly whether it is wise or not."

Yang Buding took the teacup and took a sip. He looked calm, with a strand of black hair on his forehead automatically. At this moment, he was not as embarrassed as he was forced to sweat by Qi Qin before.

"Then it's not too late to see it later."

Li Xiudao.

"You owe me a favor."

Yang Buding looked at Li Xiu's face and spoke.

“I never owe anyone favors.”

"I will kill Concubine Yang for you."

Yang Buding emphasized.

"You are saving yourself."

Li Xiu also looked at him and said seriously.

Xu Yingxiu patted the table impatiently, and Yang Buding fell silent.

......

The Chenliu Palace used to be very lively, and different people came to visit each day. Since Li Xiu returned to Beijing, the swaying fence-headed grass could not understand the direction of the wind, so the door of the palace was deserted for many days.

Until today it became lively again because the Taiwei Qi Qin came.

The second wife Qi Liu is his daughter. It is normal for her father to visit her daughter, so naturally no one will ask questions.

Li Xing'er is practicing in the academy and is probably not coming back before the end of the year. Li Anzhi is in charge of Chang'an City Defense and the surrounding safety of hundreds of miles away.

I work outside every day and rarely come back.

Now the head of the royal family is the second wife Qi Liu.

"Father."

In the study room of the royal palace, Qi Qin sat on a chair and looked down at the book in front of him. He slowly closed the book when he heard Qi Liu's call, and looked up and showed a warm smile.

"Liu'er."

"What is my father looking at?"

Qi Liu held a cup of tea and placed it in front of the Taiwei and asked softly.

"Nothing, what do you think of Li Xiu?"

Qi Qin put the books in his hand in a corner and asked with a smile.

Qi Liu glanced at it with his eyes and found that it was a chess game that has been widely circulated recently. According to legend, Chen Zhimo and Li Xiu played chess in front of the academy.

She knew that she didn't seem calm, a person who could beat Chen Zhimo in the chess and dared to kill Concubine Yang in Mulin Garden.

They cannot be despised.

The most important thing is His Majesty's attitude.

Although Your Majesty has been in a ignorant attitude over the years, no one dares to really ignore it. Concubine Yang has a high status, but she died too calmly.

There was no slight turmoil.

This makes no sense.

But everyone knows in their hearts that if there is no reason, it is Your Majesty's truth.

"Li Xiu is a smart man. He is very cunning and does not do things that he is unsure of."

Qi Liu thought about it and gave a relatively pertinent evaluation.

"But he is also an adventurous person."

Qi Qin reached out and patted the chess record, saying.

Indeed, whether it is playing chess with Chen Zhimo, or using the Heavenly Book to induce the Heavenly Gate to break the three catastrophes, or killing Concubine Yang in the palace.

Behind the seemingly steady, there is actually thrilling danger.

Because no one dares to say that he is firmly better than Chen Zhimo, no one dares to say that he can break the sky gate.

No one dares to say that His Majesty will not interfere in Mulin Garden.

Li Xiu kept betting, but he won.

"Many people like to take risks, just as killers always like to hide in the dark."

Qi Qin couldn't help but open the book again, watching the chess game, his eyes full of amazement.

"But since it's an adventure, there will always be times of failure, just like a killer will stand in the sun one day."

"The price is death."

Qi Qin's voice was old and weak, as if he was lying in bed and was not long, but it sounded like a sense of confidence.

"What is my father going to do?"

Qi Liu sat down beside him and asked in confusion.

The Grand Marshal did not look at him, but looked into the palace through the window.

"We don't need to do anything, and the most important thing now is what your Majesty wants to do."

The smile on Qi Qin's face gradually became calm. His Majesty has changed since Li Laizhi's death.

No longer open and upright, no longer have the ambitions, no one can guess what he is thinking.

Maybe no matter who sits on that chair, it will change!

"Why did my father watch Yang Fei die?"

Qi Liu hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking this question.

"No one wants Li Laizhi to die. Many people were planning to stop Li Laizhi. It was because of the stupidity of Concubine Yang and that person, which caused the decline of the Tang Dynasty border army."

When talking about this issue, Qi Qin was silent for a long time before explaining.

Qi Liu's face turned pale, and she suddenly realized that she couldn't figure out what her father was thinking.

Qi Qin glanced at her and sighed: "Liu'er, why can't you use your brain too much when doing things? Li Xiu returned to Beijing with the general trend, and it was unstoppable. Even for the father to avoid the edge in the past few days, you still confronted him head-on."

This is naturally what happened in that family dinner.

Qi Liu spoke up and wanted to explain what he wanted to explain.

But when he saw Qi Qin waved his hand, he continued, "I don't mean to blame you, but you have to remember one thing you either don't do. Once you do it, you must do it with ruthlessness."

"And there is no trace. It will be enough for a fool like before. Don't do it again in the future."

This stupid thing naturally refers to the assassin's assassination of Li Xiu.

The old marquis' voice was a little weak. He stood up, hammered the back of his waist with his hand, and walked out with the chess score.

Qi Liu sent him to the door, then lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking.
