The thunder sounded suddenly, coming suddenly and going away quickly.

Immediately afterwards, raindrops fell, hitting the tiles, making sounds.

The sound of the sound is soothing and rhythmic, as if it has some kind of rhyme.

It's raining!

Rain came in obliquely from the window.

Shangguan Haitang stood up and walked to the window. Just as she was about to close the window, she caught a glimpse of a figure in white clothes as white as snow.

"Ximen Chuixue?"

Shangguan Haitang was surprised.

She was sure she wasn't seeing things.

As one of the four great swordsmen of the Ming Dynasty, she had seen the portrait of Ximen Chuxue countless times.

"Why is he here?"

Ximen Chuxue, holding up an umbrella, turned his head slightly.

At this time, the windows upstairs were closed.

"I heard that Ye Gucheng gained enlightenment after coming here to challenge Lonely Seeker."

Next to Ximen Chuxue, there was a man with two beards like eyebrows, and a look of worry on his face.

Lu Xiaofeng is one of Ximen Chuxue's few friends.

This time they crossed the ocean.

There is only one goal, to be the best!

It's a pity that God is not kind to us.

Ximen Chuxue is not the kind of person who would take action on a rainy day, so he and Lu Xiaofeng could only go to Zuirenju to take shelter from the rain.

Shiliting Post Station outside Gusu City!

"Damn the rain!"

A group of people arrived at the post station.

Wang Wenfu shook the rain off his straw raincoat.

It rained all day long. The wind brought cool raindrops, and some wet clothes stuck to my body.

"Zizhan, looking at the rain, we can't go into the city today. We can only rest here for one night and go into the city tomorrow!"

Su Shi, with gray hair and beard, wearing a straw raincoat and holding a bamboo stick, stood at the entrance of the post station, looking out at the mist and rain outside.

Returning from the desolate Huidi to the prosperous Jiangnan area, Su Shi's mood was naturally very good.

He smiled and said, "No hurry, no hurry!"

Yes!

He was demoted because of the "Wudai Poetry Case", and was reinstated after Zhezong came to power. After the New Party came to power, he was demoted again.

Last year, Wang Wenfu suddenly found him and told him Zhao Wuxian's conditions.

He was skeptical at the time.

Just last month, an imperial edict was sent to him.

He was allowed to resign from his official position and retire to Suzhou.

Su Shi was naturally happy.

He is not a fan of officials.

What's more, he is now nearly sixty years old and no longer looks at many things the same way as before.

He couldn't help but think of a poem he had written.

"Don't listen to the sound of Chuan Lin slapping leaves, why don't you roar and walk slowly."

"Bamboo sticks and awning shoes are lighter than horses, who is afraid? Ren Pingsheng in a misty rain."

"The chilly spring breeze sobers me up, it's a little chilly, but the slanting sunlight on the mountaintops greets me."

"Looking back at the bleak place, when I return, there is no wind, rain or sunshine."

At this moment.

What he felt in his heart was exactly as it was at that moment!

Turning around, Su Shi said, "Wenfu, tell me more about the character of Prince Jing."

……

Prince Jing’s Mansion, after pacifying Liu Sheng Piaoxu.

Zhao Wuxian met Princess Yinchuan, Li Qinglu, who came from Western Xia again.

A beautiful woman with a shrewd look.

Li Qinglu brought the painting of the underground palace copied by Li Qiu Shui, part of which contained various exquisite martial arts.

For example, "Tianshan Six Yang Palm", "Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand", "Turtle Breathing Technique", "White Rainbow Palm Power", "Sound Transmission and Soul Searching Technique", etc.

In addition, there are records of medicine, divination, astrology, music, chess, calligraphy and painting, mechanical work, trade, migration and planting, drinking and singing, guessing riddles, the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, Qimen Dunjia, farmland irrigation, economic and military strategies, etc.

The contents are very extensive, covering two or three hundred sheets of rubbings and over a million words, just like a Xixia encyclopedia.

No wonder it took Li Qiu Shui so long to send it back.

It is indeed not easy to copy so much content.

They overturned Zhao Wuxian's speculation that the underground palace belonged to an ancient sect.

Do not!

To be precise, a part of Xiaoyao Sect's martial arts does come from ancient sects.

But the rest of the content was engraved by an ancient country that once existed in the Western Xia region after ancient times.

This also explains why there are only martial arts on the wall carvings of Lingjiu Palace, while there are more than just martial arts on the wall carvings of the Xixia Underground Palace.

The martial arts engraved on the walls of Lingjiu Palace encompass the martial arts of the Western Xia Underground Palace. The former is the source and the latter is the successor.

"In addition to the rubbings, there is also a secret letter that my grandmother wants me to hand over to the prince personally!"

Li Qinglu's voice is soft and gentle.

"Oh?"

As she spoke, she took out the letter from her sleeve pocket and handed it to A-Bi, who then passed it to Zhao Wuxian.

The letter is still warm.

It emits a sweet fragrance.

It was obvious that he was hidden closely by Li Qinglu.

Zhao Wuxian opened the letter, which contained Li Qiushui’s powerful handwriting.

The article is like the words that follow the person!

This may not be absolute, but sometimes you can roughly tell a person's character from the handwriting.

Li Qiu Shui's handwriting is not the graceful small regular script, but the iron-like and silver-hooked running script, which is quite heroic.

Zhao Wuxian finished reading the letter, which contained three parts.

Part of it is Li Qiu Shui's words expressing her loyalty.

Part of it was Li Qiu Shui's concern about the internal affairs of Western Xia.

The last part is that Xixia hopes to form an alliance with Prince Jing’s Mansion.

As for the people involved in the marriage, they were naturally Zhao Wuxian and Li Qinglu.

The marriage was not what Li Qiu Shui wanted.

Rather, it was the Xixia court that proposed a strategy to divide the Song Dynasty and sow discord after paying attention to Zhao Wuxian.

To put it bluntly, it was to notice the conflict between Zhao Xu and Zhao Wuxian.

He wanted to use Zhao Wuxian to split the Song Dynasty.

Give Xixia an opportunity to take advantage.

Zhao Wuxian put down the letter, pondered for a moment, looked at Li Qinglu, and said, "Princess Yinchuan, do you know about the marriage?"

Li Qinglu nodded slightly and said, "I know!"

As a princess of Western Xia, she had been living a life of luxury since childhood, had good manners, was graceful and elegant, and had a dignified demeanor.

At this moment, even when facing Zhao Wuxian, he was neither humble nor arrogant.

Zhao WuXian asked curiously: "What do you think?"

Li Qinglu glanced at Zhao Wuxian.

If it were an ordinary woman, she would probably be shy.

Fortunately, the customs in Western Xia were much more open than those in the Song Dynasty, and she was mentally prepared before coming.

The children of princes and noble families could not escape the fate of arranged marriages.

Even though she was the most favored princess.

There was no choice when it came to the interests of the Western Xia Kingdom.

Fortunately.

Zhao Wuxian was handsome and talented in both literature and martial arts, so she didn't dislike him.

Li Qinglu smiled and said, "Your Majesty is young, but he is already famous throughout the country. He is a dragon among men. If my daughter can get close to him, I will love it!"

Chapter 358 gives Xiaolongnu a gift, a 10,000-fold critical hit return, and she is the descendant of the spiritual beast Xuanwu!

When Li Qinglu left Prince Jing's Mansion and was about to get on the carriage, she looked back.
