If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 447 He Xuan's Background

There are some things that Li Anmin did not say explicitly, but Li Rongji must understand: the King of Shu has many children, and it does not mean that he, Li Rongji, must be chosen as the crown prince.

Li Rongji did not come to Shudong for vacation, he was sent by the King of Shu to govern Shudong.

If the job is done badly, even if the King of Shu can tolerate it, the other princes who are eyeing the throne of the crown prince will definitely be ready to make a move.

"I really don't want to see He Xuan. You go and tell him to get away." Li Rongji said.

Li Anmin said sternly: "Your Highness, you must not only protect He Xuan's life, but also be magnanimous and win his loyalty!

Look at those great rulers and overlords in the upper states.

Such as King Zhuang of Chu who "extinguished the candle and cut off the tassel".

Not to mention a mere kabuki at home, even if it was one's favorite concubine, he would gladly share it with his subordinates.

Another example is Prince Dan of Yan back then.

Seeing that the warrior liked the hand of his own beauty, he simply cut it off and gave it to her, so the sword master Jing Ke was willing to assassinate the Human Emperor for him.

Similar things are too common among overlords.

He Xuan is a minister of the upper state, and he himself is a direct disciple of the immortal.

Now he is willing to serve you, a Gentile, but you are not grateful and instead hate him. What's the logic behind this?
Shaoyao is just a brothel girl and is not qualified to enter the palace to serve you.

It’s not He Xuan’s fault that he took her away, it’s your fault!
You should have known what he was thinking.

You did not take the initiative to satisfy the interests of a peerless swordsman, and did not share Miss Shaoyao with him early on. Instead, you forced a wise man to commit robbery.

You should apologize to him instead of saying something like "I don't want to see him" in anger. "

Li Rongji's expression was moved. He put down his bowl and chopsticks and sighed, "Thanks to Anmin's enlightenment, I almost became a narrow-minded and mediocre leader despised by my former self.

Go and call He Xuan over quickly.

I first had a frank talk with him to resolve the grudge in his heart.

Then give him a BMW and beautiful jade, and let him leave Yingxiang Mansion."

At this point, he hesitated again, "I can't protect the Warriors, but instead let them go out to seek refuge. Isn't that irresponsible?"

Li Anmin said: "We should make expediency. Yu Fengxian is fierce and domineering, He Xuan can understand."

Li Rongji pondered and said, "Perhaps we don't need to hide too far, Xuanyin Zhenren will definitely arrive at Yingxiang Mansion within a day.

With a real person in charge of Yonghe Palace, how dare Yu Fengxian come here and act wildly?"

Li Anmin said in a deep voice: "Don't even mention Xuanyin Zhenren, just the three hundred Black Dragon Guards of Yonghe Palace.

If you mobilize them to form an army formation and have Chen Taiping as the commander, Your Highness won't have to fear Yu Fengxian.

But there is no need for Your Highness to come into direct conflict with Yu Fengxian.

Yu Fengxian is looking for He Xuan, not you.

You asked Master Xuanyin for help in order to use up the favors from the Li family.

Besides, Yu Fengxian is just savage and difficult to tame, but she is not a brainless idiot.

Seeing the three hundred Black Dragon Guards forming a battle formation at the gate of Yonghe Palace and seeing the arrival of Master Xuanyin, she would definitely not call for the killing of He Xuan anymore.

But what happens next?

He Xuan will not always stay by Master Xuan Yin's side.

It would be better to let him stay out of the spotlight for a while, leaving Yu Fengxian with nowhere to vent his anger and only feeling depressed and aggrieved.

Once she leaves Xishu, or waits for the demon cicada to beat her to death.

You saved He Xuan without spending any money."

Li Rongji nodded and said, "That's it. Go and call He Xuan over. By the way, is he still in Zishan Villa?"

Li Anmin shook his head. "After Shaoyao died, you didn't want to see him, and he didn't come to see you. Now I don't know where he has gone. I have to ask the Heavenly Master for help, summon ghosts and gods, to help find him."

Li Rongji doubted, "Could he have run away early?"

Li Anmin said with a smile: "Your Highness underestimates He Xuan's magnanimity. He just killed a prostitute, not the princess of Shu. To be disrespectful, even if he really blasphemed the princess, he would not be afraid.

The depression and sadness in his heart were actually about other things.

As you know, Zhao Zhen died and the Seven Arrows Book was burned.

He followed our advice, and in the document he sent to Daqin, he attributed the backlash against Zhao Zhen to Yu Fengxian's destiny and strong fate, and that it was Zhao Zhen himself who ignored the matter of gambling on God's will at the government gate.

Although the document had been sent out, he still didn't know what the result would be.

It is inevitable that one will feel sad and worried about the impact on the future. "

At this point, he couldn't help but sigh softly, "Even though His Highness is trying to win him over, He Xuan still places his true future in Daqin!"

Li Rongji's face was uncertain, "That's what I'm worried about! I won't underestimate He Xuan's courage and bravery, I'm just afraid that he will leave Xishu and return to Daqin to find another job and stop being Sima Ling."

"Not really!" Li Anmin was also a little worried, but he still comforted her, "From the evening before yesterday when Miss Shaoyao got into trouble until this morning, His Highness has been ignoring He Xuan.

But He Xuan would understand a simple truth - the reason he was able to kidnap Miss Shaoyao was not because he did it perfectly and no one knew about it.

He himself is a guest official in the Prince's Palace.

He was very clear about the power of His Highness and Yonghe Palace.

Lushui Lane is less than a mile away from Yonghe Palace.

The streets and alleys near Yonghe Palace are often patrolled and monitored by soldiers and secret guards.

It can be said that as soon as something happened to Miss Shaoyao, Yonghe Palace knew about it.

If you really want to track him down, you don't even need to ask ghosts or gods for help.

In Yonghe Palace, there are countless talented people who know how to track.

Your Highness just doesn't pursue the matter, not that he is incapable of disciplining him.

He understands this and also knows your attitude, so why would he leave without saying goodbye?"

Li Rongji sighed, "You go find him. As my guest, I can't even summon him to come. I have to look for him everywhere."

Li Anmin said: "He is not disrespecting Your Highness, he just has encountered too many troubles recently.

When the case of the Seven Arrows Book is over, he will definitely stay by your side as he did in the past."

Li Rongji nodded slightly and said, "There are ten famous prostitutes in Shudong, and Shaoyao is just one of them.

I remember the looks of Hongwei and Zixuan. They were even better than Shaoyao, but their talents and temperament were slightly inferior.

Get them ready quickly.

When He Xuan leaves, taking it with the BMW and the jade will help alleviate the boredom of the journey."

"Your Highness is wise!" Li Anmin happily bowed to the prince and said with a smile: "After I meet He Xuan, I will hint this to him first.

When he meets Your Highness, he will be respectful, obedient, and grateful."

Li Rongji heard this and smiled happily, "Go ahead, I'll wait for him in the 'Juxian Pavilion'."

To the northwest of Yingxiang Prefecture, there is a busy street, about 70 to 80 feet wide, which can accommodate 20 horses running side by side.

On both sides of the street stand rows of ornately decorated restaurants and shops.

Cars and people are coming and going, shoulder to shoulder, it is very lively and prosperous.

Yonghe Palace is backed by the Heilong River, located northwest of Yingxiang Prefecture, at the end of Jixiang Street.

About thirty steps out of the gate of Yonghe Palace is the famous restaurant of Yingxiang Mansion, the five-story "Tianya Pavilion".

Ten steps further ahead is the famous clothing store "Four Seasons Shop" in eastern Shu.

Tianya Pavilion has an octagonal structure with a pointed roof. At the eight corners, there are eight intricately carved, lifelike dragon beasts on the roof, facing eight directions.

I don't know at what time last night, a thin sword less than two fingers wide was inserted into the head of the ridge beast facing the gate of Yonghe Palace.

Half of the sword body was sunk into the stone-carved ridge beast. The blade exposed outside would occasionally vaporize and disappear into a cloud of gray smoke, in which a rotten eyeball seemed to be suspended.

Half an hour later, Li Rongji personally escorted He Xuan to the gate of Yonghe Palace, and personally took the reins from Cao Wei, leading a majestic "horse" with a single horn on its forehead to He Xuan's side.

It looks like a horse, but is a head taller than an ordinary horse.

Its back is ten feet above the ground, and its fur is also light purple.

A normal horse has long and thin calves, but its "horse legs" are muscular and thick like peeled tree roots, and you can see lumps of meat as big as pigeon eggs on them, which looks very powerful.

"This is my beloved horse, the One-horned Purple Cloud Beast. Unfortunately, I am so busy with official duties that I don't have many opportunities to use it.

Brother He Xuan is a great hero, and he is about to go on a long journey. He cannot be without a BMW, so take it with you. "

He Xuan's slightly decadent face with dark circles under his eyes immediately became radiant, and his two bloodshot eyes also brightened a little.

"Your Highness, you want to lend me this BMW?" he asked in surprise.

Li Rongji shook his head and said, "It's not a loan, it's a gift to the hero."

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness."

He Xuan was overjoyed. Without saying a word, he clasped his fists in salute and immediately jumped onto the horse impatiently.

"Good, good horse, the ancient unicorn beast is no more than this."

Sitting on the horse's back, feeling its powerful force that seemed to be about to explode, and looking down at the people around him who seemed to be a head shorter, He Xuan's depressed mood suddenly became relieved, and he became full of energy.

"Your Highness, please forgive me for being rude, but this BMW is so perfect for me that I can't help but want to go out of town and run a few laps right away."

Li Rongji smiled and said, "Seeing a fierce horse and wanting to surrender is exactly what a hero should have. How could I blame you? But don't worry, brother He. Today, you are going on a long journey, and I have more than just a BMW as a gift."

"Pa pa pa~~" He clapped his hands, the side door opened, and two gorgeously decorated carriages drove out.

"In order to prevent you from being lonely during your journey, I specially invited Miss Zixuan and Miss Hongwei to come and accompany you. What do you think?"

He Xuan glanced at the carriage, turned over and jumped off the horse, and bowed three times respectfully to Li Rongji.

"Your Highness, I will not leave. I will stay with Your Highness." He looked moved and excited.

Li Rongji's expression changed slightly, and his smile became a little forced, "Brother He, we have already agreed before that we will be apart for a few days--"

He Xuan said seriously: "I have never been afraid of Yu Fengxian. If she comes to find me, I will definitely kill her with one sword."

After expressing his confidence, he comforted her, “Please rest assured, Your Highness, this is a personal grudge between me and her, and it will not involve the Li family in any way.”

Li Anmin stepped forward and whispered, "Master He, we have received accurate information from Guan Chenghuang.

Yu Fengxian recast the sword bone using the Wang family's immortal energy, making it stronger than before.

Previously, she had a battle with the Great Sage Tuntian outside the city, and many people witnessed it with their own eyes.

The sword is indeed powerful, and both the physique and sword energy are extremely strong."

He Xuan smiled faintly and said, "Is the immortal energy of immortals rare? My master is a true immortal. I have used his immortal energy to cleanse my muscles and bones since I was a child. My physique is much stronger than her sword bones."

Seeing that Li Anmin wanted to persuade him again, he gritted his teeth and whispered: "Your Highness treats me like this, so I will no longer hide it.

In fact, I have two killer tricks to lower the box, but I have never used them outside.

no chance.

If I only had the power of a human immortal, how could my master trust me to travel thousands of miles to serve in the Xisha Region?"

"What trump card?" Li Rongji asked in surprise.

"Haha, I have been nurturing a stream of True Immortal Qi in my Dantian. Once I activate it, I will immediately possess the power of a semi-immortal."

He Xuan chuckled proudly and said, "Even if I meet an earthly immortal, I can fight with him. It's just a Yufengxian."

His smile became even more contemptuous, and his chin was raised twenty degrees.

“She is indeed gifted, but unfortunately she does not understand a very simple truth – personal talent is important, but inheritance is more important.

My He family has accumulated experience for dozens of generations, and I also have a true immortal teacher who is dedicated to teaching me.

How could such a huge gap in foundation be made up by a barbarian like her who has practiced hard for half a year?"

Li Rongji liked to hear this very much and agreed with it very much.

"There is no doubt that Yu Fengxian is just a peasant. She is a barbarian from the Northern Desert, not even as good as a peasant!

But her situation is very special, she has no inheritance, but her strength has improved so fast, it’s unbelievable.”

Seeing that He Xuan still had a sneer on his face, Li Rongji asked tentatively: "Brother He, besides the immortal energy of Gu Jianxian, what is your other trump card?"

He Xuan smiled slightly, without saying anything, he just said confidently: "You are just a Yu Fengxian, not a Yu Zhenxian, so you don't need to use my last trump card."

Li Rongji tactfully advised: "Brother He, you are a disciple of the True Immortal, and you carry the expectations of dozens of generations of the He family.

There is no doubt that you have the hope of becoming an immortal in this life.

Even the son of a wealthy family would not sit in the hall, and now you are worth millions of gold.

Even if you are not afraid of Yu Fengxian, is it worth it if your 'body' is damaged and your immortal path is affected?"

Earlier in Chongxian Pavilion, He Xuan had been persuaded and planned to leave.

I changed my mind at the last minute just now because I was excited when I saw the BMW and the beauty.

After hearing what Li Rongji said, his excitement subsided a little.

"Your Highness is right. It's easy to kill Yu Fengxian, but it's a bit difficult to avoid getting hurt. It's not worth it to damage your foundation for a barbarian who is doomed to die. Goodbye, I'm leaving now!"

He Xuan jumped on his horse, bowed to the prince, turned his horse around quickly, walked a hundred steps along Jixiang Avenue, and then turned to Lushui Lane in the east.

Having just acquired a BMW with the blood of an exotic animal, he was so excited that he couldn't help but trot.

The carriage carrying the two beauties behind was still a long distance away even at the increased speed.

The driver watched helplessly as Red Leaf Swordsman rode his BMW like a purple cloud, floating lightly yet swiftly into Lushui Lane.

"Master He, please slow down, I can't keep up--"

He just shouted once, and then the shouting stopped abruptly.

Because the one-horned purple cloud beast that had just rushed into Brine Lane suddenly stopped and was now slowly retreating.

Is it an illusion? That ferocious unicorn seems to be afraid of something?
What's in the alley?
