Stunning beauty

??

Southeast of the capital.

In a quiet courtyard.

Li Ziye came.

In the courtyard, when Yu Qingxuan saw the visitor, a smile appeared on his beautiful face.

"What are you laughing at?"

Li Ziye said with a puzzled face.

"I thought you wouldn't come again." Yu Qingxuan said.

"Why?"

Li Ziye was puzzled.

Yu Qingxuan pursed his lips and smiled lightly, but said nothing.

"It's not that I won't come, I'm busy."

Li Ziye didn't ask any further questions. He sat at the stone table under the maple tree, poured himself a cup of tea, drank it down, and said with emotion, "If I know how to clone myself, I wish I could become several at once."

"What are you busy with?"

Yu Qingxuan stepped forward, poured another cup of tea for the boy in front of him, and said.

"All kinds of things, of course, the most important thing is to practice swords."

Li Ziye smiled bitterly, "You also know that my martial arts talent is not good, so I went to the doctor in a hurry for some illnesses, and practiced everything. After practicing Feixian Jue, I also practiced the Three Absolute Swords."

"Three Absolute Swords?"

Yu Qingxuan was puzzled, "Is it very powerful? Why don't you keep practicing Feixian Jue, I heard that Feixian Jue is the strongest sword technique in the world."

"Flying Immortal Art is very strong, but it is also very difficult to practice."

Li Ziye said softly, "Comparatively speaking, the Three Absolute Swords are easier to practice, and there is only one year left before the competition between me and Huo Lin'er. This is a battle that cannot be lost, so if you can't practice the Flying Immortal Art, You can only temporarily change to other sword techniques."

"Swordsmanship, I don't know much about it, but I believe that you will win in Ziye." Yu Qingxuan said seriously.

"Why?" Li Ziye asked in confusion.

"Because, Ziye, you are the hardest working person I have ever met." Yu Qingxuan said seriously.

"effort?"

Li Ziye laughed at himself when he heard the words, and said, "The most worthless thing on the road to martial arts is hard work."

After finishing speaking, Li Ziye calmed down, looked at the little oiran in front of him, and said with a smile, "Qingxuan, how's your year going? I couldn't invite you to Li Garden during the year I spent in Yuzhou City."

"Fortunately."

Yu Qingxuan said softly, "I have basically lived alone these years, and I have already gotten used to it."

"There are too many things going on in the Li family this year. My second brother promised to come back for the New Year, but he didn't come back. Next year, we will try to get together."

While speaking, Li Ziye glanced at the wheelchair marks on the ground and asked, "Did the eldest prince come here just now?"

"Ah."

Yu Qingxuan didn't hide anything, nodded and said, "When you came, he just left."

"I didn't think it before, but now that I think about it, our eldest prince is really not easy."

Li Ziye sighed softly, "Qingxuan, you should be careful yourself, if possible, you'd better get out in time."

Yu Qingxuan was silent, and after a while, he nodded and said, "I will be careful."

"Okay, I'm here to see you. It's getting late, so I'll go back home first."

Li Ziye put down his teacup, stood up and looked at the woman in front of him, and said seriously, "If there is anything you can't solve, go to Li Yuan. Although the Li family is only a merchant's family, there are still many things that can be done."

"it is good."

Yu Qingxuan smiled and responded.

Li Ziye smiled and walked away without further words.

Outside the small courtyard, Li Ziye got into the carriage, and then the carriage rumbled past, heading towards Li Yuan.

Yu Qingxuan looked at the front of the courtyard and at the carriage going away, his expression gradually became lonely.

She could feel that the distance between her and Ziye was getting farther and farther.

It's not that the relationship is estranged, but that her position with him has become more and more distant.

Li Yuan.

After Li Ziye came back, he has been practicing swords in the inner courtyard.

The swordsmanship is ruthless, obviously with hostility.

"what happened?"

When the sun was about to set, Hong Candle came back from work, and saw that someone was in a bad mood at a glance, and asked, "Not in a good mood?"

"I know who sent the Black Water Army to ambush us!"

Li Ziye stopped the sword in his hand and said coldly.

"Who?"

Hong Zhu narrowed his eyes slightly and said.

"Mu Yuan."

Murderous intent flashed in Li Ziye's eyes, and he said, "I just thought he was the most suspect before, but I went to the Changsun Mansion today, and I just confirmed that it is this person."

The mobilization of the Blackwater Army must have something to do with the royal family. If it is not the Shang emperor, then it is the four princes.

The fourth prince was the first to be ruled out, the third prince had ulterior motives at the time, and the suspicion was very small, leaving only the eleventh prince and the eldest prince.

There is no doubt that no matter how you think about it, the eldest prince is the most suspicious.

"Why?"

When Hong Zhu heard what the young master said, her expression darkened, and she said, "Did the people from Changsun's Mansion tell you?"

"Eldest Sun Fengyu took the initiative to remind, but he didn't say it explicitly, it was just a hint."

Li Ziye said calmly, "It should be King Zhongwu's order."

"Credible?" Red Candle questioned.

"Trustworthy."

Li Ziye nodded and said, "They all know that I am on good terms with the fourth prince, there is no need to lie about it."

"What are you going to do?" Hong Zhu said in a concentrated voice.

"Pretend not to know."

Li Ziye smiled coldly and said, "Since this prince likes to hide so much, we will accompany him to pretend to be confused."

Hong Zhu nodded and said, "It's really not a good way to confront the prince head-on."

"The enemy is in the dark, and we are also in the dark, so we don't suffer."

Li Ziye said coldly, "What I didn't expect was that the first person who wanted to kill me when I came to this capital was not the Third Prince or the Emperor Shang, but this Mu Yuan."

"I don't understand, what is he for?"

Red Candle was puzzled and said, "There should be no grievances between the young master and him, and there are even very few exchanges. Why did he kill you?"

"It's nothing more than a word of profit."

Li Ziye sneered and said, "Didn't we plant a secret in the First Prince's Mansion, it's time to activate it, and check this Highness carefully!"

"Yes!"

Hong Zhu's expression immediately became serious, and said respectfully.

"What are you talking about?"

While the two were talking, in front of the inner courtyard, Li Youwei walked over and asked.

"A little thing."

Li Ziye's face immediately returned to normal, and he smiled, "Miss Youwei, how is the arrangement in the East China Sea?"

"Choosing staff for your sister Liyue."

Li Youwei smiled and said, "This time, I have to bring a lot of people. After all, the troubles over there have just started, and your elder sister Liyue doesn't have enough people."

"Should be."

Li Ziye nodded and said, "Miss Youwei, you are busy, I will continue practicing sword."

After speaking, Li Ziye gave Hong Zhu a wink, and immediately continued to practice with the sword in hand.

Hong Zhu quietly left Li's mansion and went to carry out the order.

In the Li family, Red Candle has a special status. She grew up with the three Li family siblings and loves them as siblings. However, Hong Candle's true identity is the intelligence leader trained by Li Wanwan for the three Li family siblings.

This is also the reason why Li Qingzhi often brings red candles with him.

Regardless of business, or a killer organization like Yanyulou, intelligence is always indispensable.

Sunset.

Night falls.

In the inner courtyard.

Li Ziye was still working hard to practice his sword.

Hong Zhu hurried back silently.

"It's been arranged." Hong Zhu said.

"Okay, go and rest."

Li Ziye said while practicing his sword, "Don't let Miss Youwei find out."

"Yes!"

Hong Zhu responded, and immediately returned to the room.

"drink!"

In the courtyard, Li Ziye let out a deep drink, and slashed down with his sword. The sword energy surged and rolled up a thousand layers of snow.

The next moment, Li Ziye's true essence surged out from his body, Chun Jun turned around, and crashed into the ground, a surge of sword energy rushed straight into the sky.

In an instant, spots of vermilion fell from the corner of Li Ziye's mouth, and the powerful force turned back, staining the snow with blood.

"Earth Sword!"

The second form of the Three Absolute Swords appeared in response.
