ALL NOVEL Page 25
She just felt annoyed, annoyed that she was so disappointing that she even forgot to ask his name.
"Oh, immortals are also ruthless."
Shaking her head, she looked at the window with some resentment, and murmured: "He left without saying a word! In his heart, what am I, Li Xiuning?"
She was a little confused, she stood up, only wearing a small coat, and walked towards the window.Still thinking of what to do in my heart, I hope that as soon as I open the window, I can see him standing on the water under the boat outside the window, looking up and giving myself a smile like sweet spring wine.
The window was pushed open, and there was no one outside the window, only the lake water reflecting the morning sun.
Li Xiuning sighed resentfully, her heart was sore, and she wanted to cry.
She suppressed her tears and turned her head back. Suddenly, she saw a pair of words spread out on the desk.
Walking to the table, I looked closely, but saw four lines of quatrains written on it: "Yun Xiang's clothes are beautiful, and the spring breeze blows the threshold of Revlon. If you don't meet at the top of Qunyu Mountain, you will meet at Yaotai under the moon."
Its whereabouts: as a gift to Xiuning.
Li Xiuning is an aristocratic daughter, with a long history of family education, and she can understand the Chinese language in poems.
This seven-character quatrain refers to a woman with a flower-like face and dressed in clouds and clouds.If such a beautiful woman cannot be seen in Yuhua Mountain where the immortals live, then only in the Yaotai of the Queen Mother can I meet her.
And the three characters "Gift to Xiuning" in the signature indicate that the woman described in the poem is Li Xiuning.
After reading the poem, Li Xiuning was drunk.
She held up the rice paper and read the poem again and again, her beautiful face was as bright as clouds under the sunlight from the window...
After staying in the room for half an hour, Li Xiuning finally dressed up and met her elder brother Li Shimin.
Together with Li Shimin, there are also her fiancé Chai Shao, and the deputy supervisor of Jinyang Palace Pei Ji.
When Chai Shao met Li Xiuning, he still warmly greeted Li Xiuning as usual: "Sister Ning is finally here, and I have great news for you!"
When Li Xiuning saw Chai Shao, her heart was calm and there was no disturbance.It was as if this fiancé-in-law who used to be close to him had become a dispensable stranger.
She didn't know why she empathized so quickly, and she could leave behind her childhood sweetheart with Chai Shao after only spending one night with the "immortal".A little blaming herself for being ruthless, but Li Xiuning still only responded to Chai Shao lightly, instead of sitting down beside him as usual, she went straight to Li Shimin's side and sat down next to her elder brother.
Li Xiuning's indifference made Chai Shao's enthusiasm empty.But he didn't think much about it, he just thought that Xiu Ning didn't sleep well last night and was a little annoyed to wake up this morning.A noble daughter of a high-ranking family has the right to be petty.
So Chai Shao continued to tell the good news: "Sister Ning, do you know that someone sent Dongming's account book over last night! This is great, with the account book, Uncle Shi can finally make up his mind to fight!"
"Someone sent the account book? Last night?" Li Xiuning was startled, and hurriedly asked, "Who sent it?"
"Ha, is little sister happy too?" Seeing Li Xiuning's eager look, Li Shimin couldn't help laughing: "Speaking of which, you can never imagine who the person who sent the account book is."
"Who is it? Second brother, tell him quickly!" Li Xiuning, who was anxious in her heart when she saw that Li Shimin was playing tricks, took his hand, shaking it and performing a coquettish stunt.
"Okay, don't shake your second brother, let me tell you." Li Shimin said with a smile, "That man is our distant cousin, Dugu Clan's Dugu Ce."
"Dugu Ce?" Li Xiuning was startled: "It's...it's him!" [Ask for flowers!collect!score!Please support newcomers and new books, old and young! ] 026, pretending to be passionate, Jindan is in sight [First update, please collect it! ] "It's hard to believe, isn't it?"
Li Shimin smiled and said: "To be honest, when Dugu Ce sent Dongming's account book, I was also taken aback. From Dugu Ce's standpoint, he shouldn't have acted like this. After all, he, the Dugu Clan, has too close a relationship with the Sui imperial family. In any case, you shouldn’t be with us rebels. But think about it, brother, does this mean that the Dugu Clan has figured out that the situation is inevitable and wants to leave the sinking ship of Tai Sui?”
Pei Ji, who looked like a middle-aged Confucian scholar, also smiled and said: "Dugu Ce came here in person and presented the account book to the people of the world. I think he has also seen who is the master of the world and wants to make friends with the people of the world. Dugu Clan Although he is not down-to-earth, he has no army and territory, and his foundation is a bit flimsy. But he is one of the four big clans. He is quite powerful in the Jianghu. Shimin, congratulations."
Among the four major clans, the Li clan has the Longyou clan and the Taiyuan base, and there is no lack of clan, prestige, soldiers, money, food, and territory.
The Yuwen Clan is sitting on the military power and controls the most elite forbidden army in the world.Although there is no foundation in the local area, a hundred thousand fruits alone are enough for the Yuwen Clan to accomplish a lot.
In the south of Lingnan, a town of the Song Dynasty, hundreds of clans bow their heads, and they are the local tyrants.Like the Li family, they also have clan, prestige, soldiers and horses, money and food, and territory.The only flaw is the poor location.
Only the Dugu clan, who seems to be superior, is actually superficial.
Because the Dugu Faction has always followed the high-level route, it can be said that there is no powerful force in the local area.Although he is small and powerful in the army, his direct military power is far inferior to Yuwen's.
In this world of great strife, the Dugu Clan is the least likely to be able to stand on its own.
Instead, relying on a powerful party and continuing to take the high-level route, with the financial resources of the Dugu clan, the military power of the masters in the clan, and the good contacts established through marriages, the Dugu clan can make the Dugu clan a powerful family in the new dynasty. If the status continues to be dignified, such as the Li family, if Li Yuan wins the world and Li Yuan becomes emperor, he will be crowned for three generations.Then Li Yuan's mother will also be posthumously named queen.And Li Yuan's mother, surnamed Dugu, was a daughter of the Dugu family.
With this level of kinship, when the Sui family could no longer rely on it, it was a matter of time for the Dugu family to seek refuge with the Li family.
Therefore, in Pei Ji's view, Dugu Ce's delivery of the account book is a subtle signal.
It marked that some of the Dugu Clan, at least some represented by Dugu Ce, had already begun planning to break away from the wrecked ship of the Sui Dynasty and choose another Ming Lord to serve them.
If Dugu Ce knew Pei Ji's thoughts, he would laugh his teeth out and taunt him mercilessly: Your Excellency, you are really passionate!
Dugu Ce has no control over what other people in the Dugu Faction think.But it is absolutely impossible for him to join the Li family.
He personally sent the account book with the simple purpose of picking Li Xiuning, a shy flower, and using it to establish friendship with Li Shimin, so that he can wait for the opportunity to present some green-dyed hats to Brother Shimin...
"Whether the Dugu Clan will take refuge or not is still unknown. You can't judge the position of the Dugu Clan based on the behavior of Dugu Ce alone. In troubled times, it is common for famous families to place multiple bets. Furthermore, Congratulations to Uncle Pei." , I should also congratulate my father. Shimin is young, and he only wishes to leap into the battlefield for his father and lay down this great river and mountain for my Li family!"
Faced with Pei Ji's compliment, Li Shimin was quite sober.
It's a pity that no matter how wise and powerful he is, he would never have guessed how much evil Dugu Ce was hiding.
Li Shimin, Pei Ji, and Chai Shao talked with each other with joy and excitement.They who were immersed in the excitement didn't notice at all that Li Xiuning's mind was no longer here, and had already flown somewhere.
"Dugu Ce, Dugu Ce... So you are Dugu Ce... We will meet again, definitely!"
But at this moment, Dugu Ce, who was silently missed by Li Xiuning, had already returned to the Dongming.
Back then, his cultivation was still a little bit short of breaking through the "God Transformation".
When he came back, he had already broken through the "God Transformation" barrier, and reached the early stage of God Transformation—the cultivation realm of Dazizai Bliss Kungfu, which is divided into four stages: Refining Qi to Transform Qi, Refining Qi to Transform God, Refining God to Return to Void, and Refining Void to Combine Dao big realm.
Refining gas is the foundation.At this level, cultivators and warriors have many similarities.
