Chapter 189: The Knight's Journey (Part )

Last time, we talked about how Li Yi and Zhu Zi discussed how to deal with Luo Yan, and then went to find Xiao Ruoping. Some unspeakable things happened between the two. So how will the plot develop next? Let's take a look together.

Xiao Ruoping folded the map and placed it beside the bed, then looked at Li Yi and asked, "Just go with the flow? If there is such a situation, how would Li Yuefu plan to deal with it?"

How do you interpret the word "An"? It's very simple. Put a woman in the house. What does it mean? Building a house and marrying a wife is "An", which means that a man can only settle down after he gets married.

For this reason, the ancients had the saying of "making the family harmonious". For example, Wang Yangming, a great scholar of the School of Mind, was not very sensible when he was young. What did his father do? His father married him a wife! How can this be justified? I was not stable when I was young, so why didn't I see my father marry me a wife? Alas! Comparing people will make you die, and comparing goods will make you throw them away!

We have strayed off topic. Let's get back to Mr. Li. What did Xiao Ruoping do? Why did she ask this question?

But Xiao Ruoping slowly took off her nightgown, then placed the night-shining pearl on her chest, and asked in a provocative tone: "Since Li Yuefu wants to see it, why not look at it openly? Now I let you see it, but you don't dare to look at it?"

Li Yi lowered his head and muttered, "Alas, I've known for a long time that you had ill intentions towards me, and finally I fell into your trap. I can neither retreat nor advance! Well, put on your clothes, I still like to be half covered and half exposed..." Xiao Ruoping chuckled, put on her nightgown, and made another teasing gesture.

Li Yi cursed casually: "Damn it, you dare to dethrone the emperor without hesitation! I'm going to risk my life!"

The following plot is that a sheep is trapped in a tiger's mouth and cannot escape. Yi shoots down nine suns and the fire in the sky goes out. Spring returns to the earth and life comes back. It is unclear who is hit.

Sometimes it's hard to explain the relationship between men and women. You say the man works hard while the woman sings to her heart's content. Who made the mistake and who enjoyed life? As for what happened tonight, it's hard to say whether Li Yi was tricked, or Xiao Ruoping used a trick, or whether the song was sung well. Love is selfless dedication!

In short, in short, the matter was done, both what should be done and what shouldn't be done were done! Li Yi hugged Xiao Ruoping and listened to her talk about the situation in the palace, including patrol arrangements and secret sentries.

Xiao Ruoping reached out and patted Li Yi's face and said, "I have already told father that you will go to see him. When you get outside, just knock three times three times on the door six times, and father will know it is you. Now can you tell me why you are going to see father?"

Li Yi shook his head and said, "No, don't ask about things you shouldn't ask about. It's not good for you!"

Xiao Ruoping was really upset by this attitude of wanting to just walk away after finishing the job. She turned around and glared at Li Yi and asked, "Why! Why can't you tell me?"

Seeing Xiao Ruoping's attitude change, Li Yi immediately stood up and put on his clothes. When he was about to pull up his pants and leave, Xiao Ruoping punched him.

Li Yi dodged and said sternly, "We are all adults! Tonight was a matter of our own will, so don't look for grudges later! I don't know what your principles are, but mine are not to take the initiative, not to resist, not to let go, and not to take responsibility!"

Xiao Ruoping was still pestering him, so Li Yi stood beside the unconscious maid Xiao Zhu and said, "You better be careful! Don't wake her up. If something really happens, I can just walk away, but you can't!"

Li Yi's shameless offline behavior has reached a new low. He smiled and said to Xiao Ruoping: "If I survive to come back, I will come to find you again."

When Xiao Ruoping heard this, she frowned and asked, "What do you mean? Where are you going?"

Li Yi smiled and said, "Didn't I say I would help you deal with Luo Yan? Tomorrow I will leave Jiankang to lead him away from Xiao Yongming. By then, Zhu Zi will find a way to expose his crimes. I hope you can cooperate with Zhu Zi and take down this evil monk together."

Xiao Ruoping said seriously: "Didn't you say that he has extraordinary strength? If he really comes to find you, you won't be afraid..."

Li Yi smiled and said, "That's why I said I would come back if I survive! By the way, there is something I really need your help with."

Xiao Ruoping said unhappily, "You're giving a message to your maid, right?"

Li Yi tied his belt and nodded: "Smart, then you should know how to talk to her, right?"

Xiao Ruoping said coldly: "I will tell her that you are dead, and died in my bed!"

Li Yi raised his thumb and said, "Yes, that's a good idea! Thank you for your hard work!" Then he walked out. When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped and turned around to look at Xiao Ruoping and asked, "Why don't you say goodbye to me?"

Xiao Ruoping said coldly: "When you die, I will go to your grave and tell you!"

Li Yi shook his head and smiled, "Thank you, I'm leaving now!" Then he pushed the door and left.

After Li Yi left, Xiao Ruoping returned to bed silently. Only then did she discover that the map of the palace was still there, and there were words on the back. She unfolded it and saw a poem on it:

Zhao Keman and Hu Ying, Wu Gou Shuang and Xue Ming. The silver saddle shines on the white horse, rustling like a shooting star.

Kill one person every 10 steps, and leave no trace in a thousand miles. When the work is done, leave with your clothes on, hiding your achievements and fame.

Qinhuai adds to the beauty of the scenery, and the songs are heard in Jiankang. Three cups of wine make a promise, and the Five Mountains seem light.

Eliminate demons and pursue the truth, leaving this epitaph.

Even if I die, my chivalrous spirit will remain fragrant, and I will not be ashamed of being a hero in the world. Who can write about my other affairs and pass on the Buddhist and Confucian classics?

This poem is adapted from Li Bai's "Song of the Knight-errant". The first eight sentences remain unchanged, but the rest talks about Li Yi's story. He has seen the stunning scenery of Qinhuai River and his songs spread throughout Jiankang. Now he is determined to eliminate demons and defend the way of justice, without seeking fame or fortune, and regardless of life or death.

Li Yi left a suicide note, telling Xiao Ruoping that if he really died, he should tell the Buddhist and Confucian religions about his story and let them know the truth of the matter.

After reading the poem left by Li Yi, Xiao Ruoping realized that his previous shameless words and deeds were to prevent her from having too many thoughts and afraid that she would fall too deeply. She muttered, "This shameless guy, he still said that he would not take the initiative, would not resist, would not let go, and would not take responsibility! Humph, who asked you to take responsibility."

Li Yi left the Princess's Mansion and sneaked into the Prince of Pingzhong's Mansion during the patrol shift change. He found Xiao Yongrong's bedroom in the darkness before dawn and knocked on the door six times according to Xiao Ruoping's instructions. Soon the door opened and he went in.

He gave the Queen Mother's letter to Xiao Yongrong, and told him that if there was anything, he could ask Xiao Ruoping to pass it on to the Northern Wei envoys. Because it was getting light, Li Yi couldn't stay too long, so he said goodbye and left without much communication with his "father-in-law".

Li Yi did not return to the post station, but went to Tongxin Temple. Why did he go there? He found the monk Xingzhen and asked him to help him shave his head. This must be explained! Look carefully, it is a shave, not a tonsure! He also asked for a monk's robe.

Our great scholar Li really went to great lengths to lure Luo Yan away from Jiankang! He disguised himself as a monk, used the pseudonym Zhengyuan, left Jiankang, and went to cause trouble for Luo Yan.

Why is it said that he spent a lot of money? The answer is simple, because this fake monk is more cautious and cautious than many real monks in the Southern Liang Dynasty, and is devoted to Buddhism. Therefore, for the next period of time, Li Dacai can't touch wine, meat, women and sex. This is also part of the objective reason why he indulged himself before.

Li Yuefu, no, Master Zhengyuan waited until the city gate was opened and then left Jiankang, heading west towards Heci Temple.

Let’s first let Master Zhengyuan slowly move forward on the progress bar, and then switch the camera to Xiao Ruoping, where suddenly, as if a spring breeze has come overnight, thousands of pear trees are in bloom.

Princess Ping'an slept in for a rare time. Normally, she would get up early to practice martial arts, but because of the inexplicable incident last night, she completely indulged herself.

She was extremely happy and for the first time ever, she dressed herself up carefully. Then she put on her most beautiful dress and went to the inn to battle with Miss Su, the maidservant of Li Yuefu.

Cui Zhi waited for Li Yi all night, but what she got was Xiao Ruoping. She guessed that something was wrong. And when she saw Princess Ping'an, who was so gorgeous that she almost had the word "smug" carved on her forehead, she was more certain of her thoughts. The game between women began:

Cui: "Oh, Princess, you are here to see my son? What a coincidence, my son is out."

(When you meet someone and greet them, the first thing to do is to ask a question that you already know the answer to.)

Xiao: "No, I came to find you, I know he is not here."

(The implication is to tell you clearly that I know where he went. If you want to know, come and ask me! This is to strike back and seize the initiative.)

Cui: "Oh? I wonder how I can help the princess? Can you tell my son a message or pass on a letter?"

(Play dumb and wait and see what happens.)

Xiao: "I'm afraid your young master won't be able to come back for a while. You should find a way to explain to those two adults. After all, this is not the first time he has disappeared."

(Make everything clear, raise questions, and embarrass your opponent.)

Cui: "I see. Is this what the young master meant, or what the princess meant?"

(A probing step, used to confirm what kind of relationship the other party has with Li Yi)

Xiao: "He left in a hurry this morning. He just asked me to let you know that you can handle the rest, and he didn't say anything else."

(Explicitly tell the other party that something unspeakable happened last night, and at the same time make it clear that the two of them have different identities, and suppress her!)

Cui Zhi covered her face and smiled: "I know that the young master is a playboy, but I didn't expect that he likes mature and charming girls."

(On the one hand, he made light of the unspeakable things, and on the other hand, he directly activated his taunting skill, saying that Xiao Ruoping was an old woman! This move can be said to be quite vicious!)

Xiao Ruoping was a little embarrassed, but she had important information in her hands and was not afraid that the other party would not understand her, so she said calmly: "Maybe he will be more caring? Otherwise, he wouldn't have told me so much and even told me what to do after his death."

The three words "afterlife" were like a bolt from the blue to Cui Zhi! She was not concerned about Li Yi and Xiao Ruoping's afterlife, but was worried about Li Yi's life or death! So she immediately put aside all her thoughts of fighting, bowed respectfully to Xiao Ruoping and asked, "Please tell me why the young master would tell me about his afterlife."

Xiao Ruoping casually took out a piece of paper, on which was Li Yi's poem, but she had copied it, and naturally kept the original manuscript for herself.

Cui Zhi looked at the poem and wondered, "This is not my master's handwriting!"

Xiao Ruoping smiled and said, "This is what he wrote. Believe it or not."

Cui Zhi said sternly, "'Kill one person every ten steps, leave no trace in a thousand miles. When the work is done, leave with no fame or merit!' Who else but my young master can write such a poem! But this is not my young master's original manuscript! I want to see your original manuscript!"

Seeing that Cui Zhi was getting a little anxious, Xiao Ruoping knew that she had won this game, but she did not intend to let Cui Zhi go. She even wanted to add insult to injury. Who asked this girl to mock her before?

So, Xiao Ruoping shook her head and smiled, "You won't be able to see the original manuscript. This is it. Take it if you want! If you don't want it, just give it back to me." After saying that, she reached out to grab it.

Cui Zhi took a step back and said seriously: "Princess, do you know that this may be the last poem of my son? If something really happens to my son, I will take this poem back to Wei and give it to his wife!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ruoping smiled softly and said, "He drank too much last night and told me a lot. He knew that life and death were unpredictable, so he was entangled with me. The original manuscript of this poem was written on my back when he was indulging himself, so I can't give it to you."

Seeing Cui Zhi's angry face, Xiao Ruoping said proudly with the attitude of a winner: "If he really dies, I will help him build a monument. After all, this is the poem he left for me. I just let you know." After saying that, he turned around and left calmly...

Xiao Ruoping walked out of the door and heard the sound of something being thrown. She left the room with a smile on her face. At this time, Jiang Hongyu came into the room and saw the mess on the floor. She asked, "What's wrong? Why are you so angry?"
