Chapter 33 (12)
Xuanshuang said, "I won't tell you, what can you do? You have already agreed to me personally to become a master. A gentleman's word and a quick horse whip. Why, I want to ask me? Do you want me to faint under the sun? But you are not my master now and are not qualified to discipline me. If you still want to exercise your rights that do not belong to you, it is to abuse me. I will tell the emperor!" After blocking Li Yijie in silence, he greeted: "Xiaoxuan, let's go."
Cheng Jiaxuan was uneasy and looked at Li Yijie with deep apology, then looked at Xuanshuang, and finally followed quickly. The two of them talked in front of him, "I knew you would win." "That's natural, how could I lose?"
Li Yijie's thoughts fluctuated and called out, "Wait a minute! Cheng... Miss Cheng, you are close to Xuanshuang. You should know the most, right? Can you tell me who did Xuanshuang learn his skills from? Do you know that every move contained evil spirits and had a faint sign of being possessed by the demon. He is still young and is competitive for a while, and it is the most important thing to think that the power is stronger than others, but he doesn't know that these are just unnecessary struggles. If he had been convinced of that theory since he was a child
, it can be compared with a demon born again. The entire martial arts world is a pure land shared by all people in the world, not a territory where a person can dominate at will. This kind of self-righteous idea is not acceptable! Taking advantage of the limited poison he has been affected and persuaded to return to the wrong path, it is the most effective. Nowadays, temporary indulgence will only make him lose his future. If you still sincerely do what you want to do, tell me the truth and let us think of a solution together. But if you just hide it for him, then you are not helping him, but harming him!"
Cheng Jiaxuan was stunned for a while before saying, "How can I know everything about Ling Beile? If he doesn't want to say it, you can't force him. What kind of path he wants to take is his own choice. Besides, the emperor saw his martial arts last time. Even Master Wansui said nothing, what position do you have to accuse him?"
Xuan Shuang clapped her hands and laughed, "Xiao Xuan said it well! Li Yijie has only a few martial arts skills. His moves are dead, and people live. Can you tell me what evil and righteousness are? It's just that you claim to be righteous and you will be intoxicated by any actions of others. Humph, your hypocritical theory of saving the world is to tell those of you fellow practitioners. It won't work for me! Don't think about lobbying Xiao Xuan." After saying that, they pulled Cheng Jiaxuan, and their backs quickly disappeared from their sight.
Li Yijie felt in a state of confusion, and he felt that the situation had a major change that had been unexpected before, but he could only see a rough outline, but could not grasp the root of it. It was completely delusional to persuade Xuanshuang with his own strength.
When he returned to Yinxue Palace, he suddenly remembered Cheng Jiaxuan's words: "The emperor saw his martial arts last time. Even Master Wansui said nothing, what position do you have to blame him?" However, Shunzhi was so tolerant of the truth. It seemed that he had to tell the emperor some news and let him interfere. He also hoped that Xuanshuang would listen to his father's words.
Just as he was about to turn around and rushed to Qianqing Palace, he thought, "Yun'er has been dissatisfied with me for a long time. She always feels that I have something to do and is just asking for trouble for Xuanshuang. If she doesn't say a word, she will report it to the emperor directly. She must suspect that I have other thoughts on him, but it is not good to have a misunderstanding."
Thinking about Xuanshuang as she was Shen Shiyun's flesh and blood, she should know the most no matter what the wrong thing was. After several calculations, she made up her mind to ask her for a solution first, and she could discuss a plan together. It would be much better than working hard on her own, and it would still be unpleasant at the end.
He is a person who is angry with wind and rain. Most of the time, although he can barely restrain himself, he will inevitably panic once the situation exceeds expectations. He heads straight past, and the palace servants on the road all respond with strange eyes. Li Yijie ignored it and arrived in front of the palace and stepped in without waiting for the guards to report it.
At first glance, Shen Shiyun and Shunzhi sat at the table together, with two cups of steaming tea in front of them. It seemed that they were discussing something, but before they could speak, they were interrupted by him, an uninvited guest. Seeing this scene, I felt an inexplicable pleasure in my heart.
The guard was so shocked that his face was gone. Without waiting for Li Yijie to speak, he rushed to apologize first, and said, "Emperor, Empress, I deserve to die... Lord Li..." Shen Shiyun said lightly: "There is nothing to do with you here, go down first. Bring the door to me."
The guard didn't know if he had escaped this sudden disaster. He was stunned for a long time before he woke up and hurriedly retreated according to courtesy. Now only Li Yijie was left standing in front of the two of them alone, looking out of place.
Shen Shiyun looked disgusted and said, "What's going on, Li Qing's family? I am discussing major issues with the emperor, why did you break through? Have you forgotten the rules in the palace? You have always been steady, how could you make such a mistake now?" Li Yijie just ridiculed Xuanshuang, scolded her like a gray grandson, and smiled bitterly: "It's a nasty job. But this matter is crucial. Nasty job is in a hurry for a moment and wants to come and report to the queen immediately and get an idea."
Shen Shiyun sneered, "What great things can happen in Lord Li's circle? Haven't you told you that you are not a good person and the order in the palace will be kept by you? Li Qing's family, I will not pursue you for many years of diligence. I will not take this account of this time. Okay, you can go to the side palace to wait first. After I finish my work, I will take time to see you."
Li Yijie said anxiously: "Empress, this matter cannot be waited for..." Shen Shiyun's face was as cold as the ice that had not melted for thousands of years, and said: "What can't be waited for? Is it important for your business, or is it important for me and the emperor?"
Li Yijie's heart jumped violently and said with a strong suppression: "All the private affairs of humble officials are indeed unavailable. In front of the emperor and the empress, they are not even qualified to mention them. But now they are my apprentice... Xuanshuang..." Shen Shiyun said impatiently: "What's wrong with Xuanshuang?"
Li Yijie noticed her word "克". From the tone, it sounded like accusing him of complaining repeatedly, not that Xuanshuang had been causing many trivial matters recently. But how could he know what he thought was completely the opposite? He said: "It's about his martial arts..." Shunzhi said: "Oh, Xuanshuang has made considerable progress recently, all depends on the contributions of your Li Qing family. Why can't I wait to come and ask for rewards?"
Li Yijie looked solemn and said, "I am afraid of my humble position and dare not take credit for myself. I came here today to report to the emperor: Perhaps the 'continuous progress' we see in our eyes is just an illusion."
Shen Shiyun asked, "What does that mean? Couldn't he be able to cut the wooden stake in a few moves? Could it be that the wooden stake had done something in advance?" Li Yijie hurriedly said, "This is not. However, Xuan Shuang's kung fu suddenly made rapid progress, which may not be a good thing. He was just now making a noise and wanted to break away from the master and apprenticeship with me."
Shen Shiyun said unhappily: "The older this child is, the less he is. Li Qing's family, don't worry. No matter what he does, I will only recognize you as your teacher." Li Yijie said: "No, it's not that you are petty. But there is another thing that you have to be careful." As he said that, he explained the situation today and all the doubts.
After hearing this, Shunzhi looked stern, pulled out an empty chair from beside him and said, "Let's sit down at Li Qing's house." Li Yijie was flattered. After thanking him, he sat upright in his seat.
Shunzhi went straight to talk to Shen Shiyun and said, "Yun'er, on the night of the seventh day of the ninth month, the place was indeed a little peaceful. Anjiazhuang, near the capital, was destroyed, and dozens of people were killed. According to later people, blood could be smelled for more than ten miles away, and the firelight shone brightened the sky..."
Although Li Yijie knew the situation was serious, he was always confused when he heard it. He didn't know what was related to the destruction of the villa and Xuanshuang. He asked, "Your Majesty, what's going on? Then Anjiazhuang..." Shen Shiyun wanted to hide it intentionally and said, "You shouldn't ask, don't talk too much."
Shunzhi said, "It's okay, the Li Qing family is not an outsider, I will tell you. Do you still remember the day on the seventh day of the ninth month? Was it just that he invited the Shaman to enter the palace and expelled Ling Beile's evil spirits? At that time, Xuanshuang was very willful. He said a few provocative words, laughed a few times, and ran away without a trace, and did not return overnight." Li Yijie replied repeatedly: "That's right, early on the eighth day of the lunar month, Bei Zhi had led people everywhere to search for his whereabouts. Later, he finally returned to the palace by himself, which was considered safe."
Shunzhi said: "It's not all that he said he went back to the palace by himself. According to my later investigation, he was knocked out and sent back. He was wearing a piece of clothing and was stained with blood. It was Yun'er who replaced him with him. He was worried that he would see him, so he temporarily pressed him under the box and wanted to wait for him to wake up and give an explanation. However, afterwards, he never mentioned it, and there must be hidden information. For the sake of Xuanshuang, we still pretended to be as usual on the surface and divided the work and cooperated privately. Yun'er asked about something strange in the palace, and I was investigating the matter outside the palace. It's only today that it was found that there was indeed a bloody case that night. It was probably because of the fact that Xuanshuang could not get out of it."
When Li Yijie heard this, he was so painful and angry that he slapped his palm on the table and said, "I really want to turn his hands around! I originally thought that he was just a little willful and naughty, and it is inevitable for children. Who knew that he... has done such a shameless thing now! In the past, I taught him earnestly and told him the principles of eliminating violence and maintaining good deeds, and accumulating virtue and doing good deeds. Because learning martial arts is important, but his fairness and conscience in dealing with people is a hundred times more important! He can also speak well, but he would not expect that... if he really started, he would forget everything. It would be fine if he didn't go to save the world and save people. At least, he should be honest and do nothing with the world! He wants to remove the master and apprenticeship from me, and he will be free from the discipleship! Such an apprentice is not lucky! I am still the leader of the martial arts world and the people in the world! "
He was filled with righteous indignation for a moment, completely forgetting that he was in front of the emperor and lost his temper. After a sudden realization, he quickly claimed the crime and said, "The emperor forgives his crime, is humble, and has lost his composure for a while."
Shunzhi saw Li Yijie in his eyes, and he had always been a gentle and kind person. This was the first time he saw him angry. Moreover, as an emperor, even if he was angry, he would never face him. After a while, Shen Shiyun was already angry and said, "Li Qing family, you are a minister, please take care of your words and deeds! In front of the Lord of the Holy Lord, how can you not be rude..."
Shunzhi made a gesture to stop him and said, "Li Qing family, please calm down first. I appreciate your kindness that is as jealous as you, and I will forgive you for your disrespect. The most urgent thing at the moment is to try to appease the people first and cover up for Xuanshuang..."
