Taiping Inn

Li Xuan ignored these minor characters and focused most of his energy on accompanying Qin Su. The two of them bought some small items and discussed what kind of wedding gifts to prepare. After all, Zhengyi Sect is not only the leader of the righteous path and a noble sect, but also the Zhang family is one of the only two thousand-year-old families in the world, shining with the Saint's Mansion in Qizhou. When giving gifts to Zhengyi Sect, the preciousness is secondary, and the key is not to be tacky. If it is just real gold and silver, like a businessman who got rich overnight, it will only make people look down on it.

If Li Xuan was the leader of Qingwei Sect, he would not have to worry about this matter. Situ Xuanlue, the head of Tianji Hall, would arrange it for him. There are many rare treasures in the public treasury of Qingwei Sect, including precious, elegant, rare, interesting, or a combination of them. At this time, everything depends on oneself, which makes Li Xuandu embarrassed. Most of the things that can be bought from Wenxiangtang are not clean and not suitable for gifts. Li Xuandu has some secret books and treasures, but unfortunately they are also not legitimate. There are only a few things that are legitimate, but they are all things that Li Xuandu needs. Li Xuandu will not swell his face for an empty name.

Fortunately, there is Qin Su. There are only wrong names in the world, but rarely wrong nicknames. "Miss Qin" is not called for nothing. She is wealthy and brought all her treasures this time. Just pick two from them.

Li Xuandu was a little embarrassed at first, and Qin Su said: "Can only you give me all kinds of secret books and treasures, and you are not allowed to give you something?"

Li Xuandu was relieved. Why should the two of them force each other, so they discussed it together and chose a zither and a se, which just responded to the meaning of "the good of zither and se". It is not too expensive, but the meaning is very good.

Jianghu is not just about fighting and killing, but also about human relationships. Human relationships require courtesy and reciprocity, and no one can escape it.

Giving gifts is not a big deal, but it is not a small deal. When making friends, you should pay attention to the degree of interests, but you can't lose the affection.

The matter was settled in a few words, and the two of them finished eating the candied haws. Li Xuan wanted to buy some more special food, but unfortunately Qin Su refused. She had drunk alcohol before, and now she had a string of candied haws, which was already a great honor for her lover. Her father Qin Qing didn't have such a big face. She really couldn't eat anymore. She didn't want her years of fasting to be ruined.

Li Xuandu didn't want to ask for more, so he asked, "Where are we going next?"

Qin Su thought for a moment and said, "I heard that the Sidi Temple in this city is a scenic spot. Why don't we go and worship it?"

Li Xuandu was a little surprised: "Susu, do you still believe in Buddhism?"

Qin Su shook her head and said, "Whether I believe it or not, I have traveled through mountains and rivers for many years. Whether it is a mountain temple, a dragon king temple, a nunnery, a Buddhist temple, a Taoist temple, or even Nestorianism, I will go to burn a stick of incense, but I never ask for anything. After all, seriously speaking, we are all disciples of the Taoist ancestor and Taoists."

Li Xuandu deliberately sighed, "I thought you had prayed to all the gods and Buddhas in the sky before you found a good person like me."

"You are talking nonsense again." Qin Su spat lightly, "You have been serious for only a few days, and you are starting to be slick and frivolous again, a lecher."

Li Xuandu didn't care, just laughed.

As they talked, the two walked towards the Sidi Temple.

At the same time, a group of people followed the two people. They were mixed in the crowd and stared at the figures of the young man and woman. These people were servants of the Ximen family. They were servants in name, but they were different from the servants of ordinary wealthy families. They were engaged in the business of killing and looting, like soldiers, and were very good at forming formations to fight against the enemy. In fact, as early as when Li Xuandu and others just entered the city, they had set their sights on these young men and women, but these young men and women had some tricks and knew that they lived in the Taiping Inn, so it was not easy for them to provoke them. They did not expect that these two dared to go out alone, which was just right for them to attack. As for the reason, it was simple. The head of their Ximen family liked all kinds of beauties the most. There was no reason to miss them if they met them. Not to mention the one who stayed in the inn, let’s talk about the young woman who went out. Although she was wearing a veil, her true appearance was extremely stunning when she occasionally lifted the veil. Since she was delivered to the door, how could they let her go? As long as they captured this young woman, wouldn’t they have to ask for credit in front of the head of the family?

The leader of the group had a good cultivation base, and was truly at the Baodan realm. Last year, because he helped the family master snatch a female warrior from Jiangzhou, he was rewarded with a secret book by the family master. After practicing diligently, he had already touched the threshold of the Xiantian realm. Not only was he considered a top figure in the Ximen family, but he was also a big shot in the eyes of many people in the entire Shuangqing Prefecture. It was not popular to mention the earth master, heavenly master, sword immortal, and knife god here. No matter how powerful those old immortals were, they could not control their lives, but the "big shots" in the city could really make them live a life worse than death.

A teenager who was only 17 or 18 years old and had already killed someone came up to the man and whispered, "Master Wei, that woman wearing a veil is so beautiful. Just looking at her from behind, she is prettier than the female knight we met last time. If we can bring her back to the mansion this time, the master will reward us handsomely. But I think these two people seem to be going to the Four Truths Temple. You know, the bald donkeys in the Four Truths Temple are not easy to mess with. If we let them into the temple, it will be difficult for us to take action. Otherwise, we should take action now to avoid more trouble at night."

The man called "Teacher Wei" pondered for a moment and said, "That's the truth, but looking at the young master showing off his skills just now, it's very difficult to mess with. If the brothers were asked to go up rashly, they might suffer."

The young man was not very old, but he was smart and had many tricks. He had been playing the role of a military advisor over the years and had a lot of voice. When he heard this, he immediately said, "As the saying goes, two fists cannot beat four hands, here is a double celebration. Mansion, even if this young man has some skills, we can just call more people. As long as we can catch that woman, the master will not care about it."

Teacher Wei thought for a while and said, "Then you send a message to other brothers immediately and ask them to go to the gate of the Four Truth Temple to wait. Let's take them down before they enter the Four Truth Temple."

The boy focused his attention and ordered his two brothers who were fast-legged to send a message.

Not long after, Li Xuandu and Qin Su could see the high pagoda of Siji Temple from afar. In front of the temple gate of Siji Temple is an open space paved with bluestone bricks. During the Ullamban Festival, it is crowded with several. There are countless believers, with no place to settle down. Even many murderous outlaws will come here to worship Buddha, praying to eliminate their sins and regain their lives. There are even thieves who turn back here and cut off their hair to become monks.

Just when the two were not far from this square, a group of people suddenly rushed out and surrounded them, holding various weapons in their hands. The leader was the coach Wei. He gently pressed his waist. The sword, with a frivolous smile on his face, said to Qin Su, "This girl, my master wants to invite you to the mansion to talk to you. I wonder what the girl wants?"

Qin Su's face darkened before he met Li Xuandu, although Qin Su was like a silly cloud and wild crane, he was not without temper. Otherwise, Qin Busi would not be so scared that he said the wrong thing. After getting to know Li Xuandu, although he was still a little bit of anger, he never got into Li Xuandu.

In fact, Qin Su had discovered these sneaky people for a long time, and I believe Li Xuan would not have noticed them either. But she felt that she had finally been able to spend some time alone with Brother Xuan, and she didn't want to be disheartened because of these people, so she didn't. He was calculating with them, but he didn't expect that these people would dare to provoke her. Moreover, when he heard this, he was still bullying men and women, which made her feel even more unhappy.

But before Qin Su's attack occurred, Li Xuan had already worked hard, took the initiative to step forward and said to the man surnamed Wei, "I don't want to cause trouble. I can make way for the way. I can think that nothing has happened."

Teacher Wei seemed to hear a joke and asked with a smile: "What a big tone, do you know where this place is?"

Li Xuandu said calmly: "I know, Shuangqing Mansion. But after hearing what you meant, I thought it was Baidi City where Tang Zhou personally took charge of it."
