Half blood

Li Xuan already understood that Bai Yuan was the elder brother of Li Xiuqi's biological mother, if he wanted to know who Li Xiuqi's mother was, he had to go to Bai Yuan.

"Where did you say someone saw Bai Yuan's daughter last time?"

The man in black said: "It's in a teahouse in the east of the city, but I took people to search one by one, but I couldn't find anyone."

Li Xuandao: "Aside from this, did you find him from any other place?" The man in black nodded.Li Xuan said: "Then I will go find it myself."

The teahouse was buzzing with people, Li Xuan found an empty table and sat down.The neighboring table was talking about state affairs and anecdotes about the palace. "The He family is really going to prosper this time. It is said that Mr. He's sister is going to enter the palace."

"Is it true? If it's true, it's really amazing. Think about it, as long as you can give birth to a son and half son, wouldn't you be able to squeeze out that foreign queen?"

Another person interjected: "That's right, that's why I said it's not that simple. Two people should be called at the same time. Two people can fight well."

One of them laughed and said, "It's not a storyteller, but it's a good fight. But what you say makes sense, you can't let the He family dominate, you have to restrict it." Everyone nodded after hearing this, and then began to guess the second one. Who is the girl from?

Li Xuan listened quietly, looking around, this teahouse seemed to be a serious business, and there was no suspicious person coming and going.

At this time, a waiter from the store came with a water bottle and said, "Hey, guest officer, please add some water."

Li Xuan waved his hand and said, "No need."

The shop waiter insisted, and said: "Add some, it doesn't cost money." After speaking, he made a gesture and said to Li Xuan's cup.

The waiter leaned forward, just blocking Li Xuan's line of sight, Li Xuan stretched out his hand to block the waiter, at this moment the waiter said with a smile on his face: "Guest officer, take it easy."

Li Xuan lowered his head, but saw that there was not much tea in the cup, but a note.Li Xuan picked out the note, unfolded it, and it read: "Meet you on the second floor".

The second floor is a private room, which is much quieter than the downstairs.Li Xuan walked in and saw a person looking out from the building, he smiled coldly and said, "Lord Bai, don't come here without any problems."

Bai Yuan turned around and said, "You didn't die like this."

Li Xuandao: "Thanks to Master Bai, I'm doing very well now."

Bai Yuan sat down at the table and said: "You come to this teahouse alone, do you want to ask me anything?"

"That's right," Li Xuan nodded, "I do have something I want to ask you."

The loose flesh on Bai Yuan's face due to old age trembled with his smile, "You ask, but I don't promise to answer."

"Why did you leave all the evidence of your corruption to me?"

"Are you still confused and don't understand anything?"

Li Xuandao: "I need to confirm whether what I think in my heart is right or not."

"That day I purposely let you know where the cellar is. I left something for you. Have you seen it?"

Li Xuan took out the drawing paper from his arms, and said, "Is this what you're talking about?"

Bai Yuan glanced at it without making a sound, but picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

Li Xuandao: "Who is the person in the painting?"

"Don't you know how to read?" Bai Yuan asked back.

"What do you mean?"

Bai Yuan stretched out a finger, the back of the hand wrinkled like the bark of an old tree, and tapped on the two characters on the painting - my sister.

"Are you his uncle?"

"Yes."

Li Xuan didn't speak, and after a while, he asked, "Are you loyal to Li Xuelin?"

"What do you think?" Bai Yuan asked back.

"I don't think so. If so, you wouldn't give me the evidence of White House corruption."

"Then who do you think I am loyal to?"

"You yourself, you gave me the evidence of corruption to help Li Xiuqi, but you have a promise to Li Xuelin's father, so you help him too. But you help both sides, which is even more unkind."

Bai Yuan said: "Then what are you going to do? Kill me? I'm Li Xiuqi's last relative in this world. Are you really cruel to let Li Xiuqi be alone?"

"Stop giving yourself money," Li Xuandao, "Have you ever done him any favors? Uncle is absolutely perfect for your sake."

"At that time, I had no choice. The whole Bai family was sent to the frontier, and Yuan'er was defiled by Wei Zhong. What could I do to leave such a child behind? I was an official at that time, and I was trampled underfoot. Is he in his early years? I can only watch helplessly as he is sent away."

"It was His Royal Highness who saved me. He gave me money, status, and everything I have now! Do you think the gold, silver and jewels in the White Mansion are all I have? Let me tell you, it's just a drop in the bucket The prince is not kidding, he is the orthodox prince, and you are the thieves who conspired."

"Then why did you ask me to come today?"

Bai Yuan said: "I want you to tell Li Xiuqi where his mother's tomb is."

At this time Li Xiuqi suddenly appeared outside the door, led a group of people into the room slowly, and said coldly: "Take it."

Bai Yuan was startled, and said, "How do you know I'm here?"

"They told me," Li Xiuqi said, pointing to the women with big knives on their necks behind him.

"Skynet is very sparse and not leaking. Li Xuelin is good at hiding you, but it is not easy to hide your young and beautiful daughters."

Those frail girls cried to Bai Yuan: "Daddy, what should we do?"

Bai Yuan shouted: "Don't worry, Daddy will find a way." At this moment, a group of men in black rushed in, and they raised their knives to slash at Li Xiuqi.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Li Xuan hurriedly raised his knife to block it, and shouted: "What are you doing so stupidly!"

At this time, the men who were holding down Bai Yuan's daughter immediately let go and joined the melee.

While protecting Li Xiuqi, who was not good at martial arts, Li Xuan asked out of breath, "How do you know I'm here?"

"The servant told me what happened this morning. I probably guessed that you came here."

"Then how does Bai Yuan know that I'm coming back today?"

Li Xiuqi replied: "He has been in the teahouse, but he hid when he came to search."

Li Xuan blocked the man in black's attack with a knife in one hand, and said, "Where did this group of people come from!"

"Bai Yuan gave the signal, and Li Xuelin sent someone here."

Li Xuan took a breath and said, "What should we do now?"

"Repel the man in black first, then keep Bai Yuan and ask for his confession."

Li Xuan hurriedly turned around, but saw a man in black holding Bai Yuan's chin with his hands, and said: "The prince said, you have made too many mistakes, the first time you missed and let you go, I'm sorry this time." It's gone." After speaking, he squeezed his hands and broke Bai Yuan's neck.

Li Xuan chopped the knife in his hand, at this time another man in black rushed in, blocking Li Xuan's advance, Li Xuan took a step back, and saw Bai Yuan's figure kneeling on the ground fell straight down.A man in black whistled, and everyone flew out of the window in an instant.

Li Xuan chased him out, but he saw people coming and going in the teahouse. Everyone looked calm, and no one was wearing black clothes. A peddler shouted to Li Xuan who poked his head out: "My lord, do you want glutinous rice cakes?" ?”

Li Xuan put away the saber, walked quickly to Bai Yuan's side, tested Bai Yuan's pulse with his hand, but he was powerless.Li Xuan turned his head and glanced at Li Xiuqi who was standing behind him.

Li Xiuqi said to his subordinates: "Give some money to the girls of the Bai family, and help them with the funeral."

Li Xuan raised his bloody hand and said, "I don't want to kill him, but he is still dead." Li Xuan couldn't let go of the last words Bai Yuan said to him before he died. He told Li Xiuqi where his mother's tomb was.Li Xuan felt that this should be very important to Li Xiuqi. Although he is gone, at least one thought can be left behind. Now that Bai Yuan died before he came and told others, the tomb may not be found anyway. up.

Li Xiuqi said lightly: "Your Highness, let's go back to the palace first, the enfeoffment ceremony will be held tomorrow. I'll take care of Li Xuelin's matter."

Li Xuan was named King An because of his meritorious service in governing the Anqu River in the south.Li Xuan also moved out from the palace and has a mansion of his own.

After the conferring ceremony was over, Li Xuan came to his new mansion. This mansion was no different from the palace, just as bright and spacious, except that there were fewer people serving it.

Li Xiuqi came with a congratulatory gift, Li Xuan took the jade carving from Li Xiuqi, smiled wryly and said, "You said that I have caused so many people to be displaced, and I still have such a title..."

Li Xiuqi said: "Your Highness, don't think that way, you are no better than before. The emperor really plans to accept two more concubines, and then your status will be lost."

Li Xuan smiled and said: "Then I will do something big before I fall out of favor."

"what's up?"

"I want to let refugees from outside the capital come in."

Li Xiuqi's face darkened, and said: "Your Highness, this is absolutely impossible."

Li Xuandao: "Why not? They left their homes because of me, so I should do something for them."

Li Xiuqi said: "Your Highness, listen to me, this matter must not be done. You are already being questioned because of your identity. If you open the city gate and really let refugees in, then there will be a lot of criticism in the court." Bigger."

Li Xuan smiled and said: "It's what you said, as long as the two concubines of father Huang Xinna give birth to dragon sons, the throne will have nothing to do with me. Then I must complete this matter before I fall out of favor. Yes I killed them, and I am responsible."

"Then who will be responsible for the people in the capital? You feel that you are sorry for the people of Qingzhou, and after they come in and turn Yujin upside down, will you be responsible for the people of Yujin? You can't represent everyone interests, you can only represent some people."

The brown eyes of that skinny boy appeared in front of Li Xuan's eyes again, and he said firmly, "I've made up my mind."
