Stunning beauty

into the night.

Commoner Palace, the backyard.

Li Ziye walked over and replaced Huanzhu back.

"Brother."

Huanzhu looked at the elder brother in front of him, bowed respectfully, and called out.

"Hard."

Li Ziye reached out and patted the shoulder of the girl in front of him, and said with a gentle expression, "Go back."

"Ah."

Huanzhu nodded, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Brother, my power should be used sparingly, it will put too much burden on your body."

"I see."

Li Ziye responded, and said, "This time I have to, I didn't expect that the formation under Sazu's formation would have so many changes, cough cough"

At the end of the conversation, Li Ziye's chest felt tight, and he covered his mouth and coughed several times.

"Brother."

Seeing this, Huanzhu showed a worried expression and asked, "Are you okay?"

"fine."

Li Ziye put down his hand, held it lightly, and said with a smile, "It's just that I was a little exhausted in the underground palace, and I haven't recovered yet. Just rest for a few days."

"The elder brother should rest earlier."

Huanzhu urged, "I'll go back first."

"Go."

Li Ziye said softly.

Huanzhu nodded, didn't say any more, stepped lightly on his feet, and left.

"Brother Li."

Just as Huanzhu left, the door of the room not far away opened, Xiao Xiao walked out, looked at the people in the courtyard, and asked, "Are you injured?"

"I can't hide it from you."

Li Ziye let go of the hand he was holding, only to see blood dripping down little by little.

"Brother Li, did you forget that I have the blood of the Qinglong, and my perception ability is different from ordinary people."

While speaking, Xiao Xiao stepped forward and pressed her slender hand on the former's chest, the real energy in her body was surging, continuously sinking into his body.

After a few breaths, Xiao Xiao withdrew her hands and said softly, "Huanzhu must have noticed it too, but he didn't say anything."

"Thanks."

Li Ziye felt that the injury in his body had improved a lot, and said with a complicated expression, "Young girl now, it's not easy to lie, she has become smarter, by the way, Xiao Xiao, I want to tell you something, I am in trouble , I want to borrow your Azure Dragon School brand to block it."

"The brand of the Azure Dragon School?"

Xiao Xiao was stunned for a moment, and after a while, she came to her senses and said in surprise, "Are you going to be accused of marriage again?"

"so smart."

Li Ziye showed a smile on his face, and said, "The royal family has started to toss again. I used the excuse of being poisoned and delayed for some time. Unfortunately, a few days ago, I was protecting you from the catastrophe. The royal family saw that I was fine. came up with this idea."

"I see."

Hearing this, Xiao Xiao nodded, and said in a very grand manner, "Okay, brother Li, you can release the news that we are working together, bah, I am a concubine, the Azure Dragon School and the Li family intend to arrange our marriage, with the Azure Dragon School as a shield , even if your emperor wants to propose marriage, Brother Li, you have a reason to refuse."

"It's not that I want to refuse, but I just want to see what kind of conditions the royal family can give in the end."

Li Ziye chuckled softly, "Even if you use the Azure Dragon School as a shield, you won't be able to stop it for long. Unless the fake show is real, it's better to take the opportunity to get more bargaining chips."

When Xiao Xiao heard the former's words, her expression was startled, her face revealed disbelief, and she said, "Brother Li, are you really going to use your marriage as a bargaining chip to negotiate terms with the royal family? Are you crazy?"

"Not crazy, what a big deal."

Li Ziye smiled and replied, "The current Li family has not yet reached the point where it can compete head-on with the royal family. If we want to go further, we must make sacrifices."

"Why bother?"

Xiao Xiao sighed softly, and said, "This is a major event in my life, Brother Li, if you were asked to choose again, would you still choose to bring the Li family to the height it is today?"

"of course."

Li Ziye replied without hesitation, "Xiao Xiao, you don't think that if the Li family is willing to be ordinary, everything will go well for us, right?"

Speaking of this, Li Ziye paused, and continued, "Xiao Xiao, you were born in the Azure Dragon School, and you don't know the helplessness of people who speak lightly. The Li family has come to this day, at least, except for the royal family, there is no need to look at anyone's face. However, ten In the Li family a few years ago, any dignitary could put the entire Li family to death. In this world, there is no such thing as taking advantage of it without paying the price."

Xiao Xiao was silent, not knowing what to say for a while.

"Okay, it's not a matter of life and death, why are you so sad."

Li Ziye reached out and rubbed the hair of the girl in front of him, and said with a smile, "Go back and rest, and go to Lady Bai tomorrow."

"Ah."

Xiao Xiao nodded lightly, then smiled sweetly and said, "Brother Li, do you want to sleep together?"

"No more sleep, rested for two hours during the day."

Li Ziye responded with a smile, "I'll practice swords for a while, if I don't practice for a few days, I'm almost rusty."

"Okay, then I'll go to bed first."

Xiao Xiao responded, without further words, turned and went back to the room.

When the door was closed, Xiao Xiao looked at the figure in the courtyard and sighed again in her heart.

Although this man is handsome, he is too ruthless, even for himself.

At night, Li Ziye started to practice with a long sword in his hand. The blade of the sword was fast and slow, unpredictable and icy cold.

The next day, everything was as before, Li Ziye took Nan'er and Xiao Xiao to Taixue Palace, and then went to Jingmu Mansion to visit Bai Niangniang.

With Xiao Xiao's help, most of the dragon balls in Bai Yuzhen's body have been fused, and her cultivation is gradually recovering.

In the backyard of the Jingmu Mansion, when Xiao Xiao helped Bai Yuzhen fuse the dragon balls, outside the room, Li Ziye was holding a wooden sword and fighting with Yun'er, the two chased each other, sweating.

Not far away, Xu Hanlin stared blankly at Yun'er's happy look.

As a father, he seems to have never been crazy with Yun'er like this.

"Uncle, I can't run anymore."

After running for a while, Yun'er sat down on the ground and said out of breath, "I'll take a rest."

Seeing this, Li Ziye also stopped, stepped forward, sat beside the little fat man, and said with a smile, "I can't run anymore, just a little bit, you just caught up with me."

"Really?" Yun'er raised her head and asked.

"Really." Li Ziye nodded.

"Then let's continue."

Yun'er immediately regained her spirits and got up.

Li Ziye also quickly stood up, holding the wooden sword, and continued to run.

Just when Li Ziye and Xiao Xiao were helping the white lady to heal her wounds in the Jingmu mansion, a servant from the imperial palace, Shou'an Hall, walked quickly, saluted respectfully, lowered his head and handed over a secret report, reporting, " Your Majesty, a report from outside the palace."

In front of the chess table, Emperor Shang stared at the chessboard in front of him without saying a word.

After Emperor Shang died, a young eunuch stepped forward, took the secret report, and put it on the table.

About a quarter of an hour later, Emperor Shang dropped the last chess piece, looked away, looked at the secret report on the table, and reached out to pick it up.

"Ok?"

After quickly reading the contents of the secret report, Emperor Shang frowned slightly and narrowed his eyes slightly.

It turned out that it wasn't just the big business royal family who were staring at the fat piece of the Li family.

In addition, the Li family really deserves to be a family of merchants, and the ability to sell for a price is really extraordinary.

At the same time, Weiyang Palace, Guanshan Palace.

Empress Changsun and King Commoner both received similar information and had different thoughts.

The Azure Dragon School has a lot of ambitions, and has extended its arms to the Central Plains.

"Murong."

In Weiyang Palace, Empress Changsun put down the information in her hands, and said with a complicated expression, "It seems that there will be many variables in the marriage between you and Li Jiaoxi. In addition to Guanshan Palace, Qinglongzong may also have a hand."

On the side, Murong took the information sent from outside the palace, after reading it, he casually threw it into the brazier, and said softly, "That's fine, Li Jiaoxi and that Qinglong saint girl are a good couple."

"It's too easy for you to think."

Empress Changsun sighed softly, and said, "If Qinglongzong really intends to marry the Li family, the people who come to Dashang Capital City today should not be the Qinglong Saintess, but the Qinglong Sect Master and the elders of Qinglongzong. Guess wrong, this news is likely to be released deliberately by the Li family, and the purpose is not yet clear."
