......

Chunhua led the way, Ji Bofuwen waved to Queen Xiao and walked out of her yard. When the two came to the hall, they saw Li Jiancheng.

Ji Bofu's eyes lit up when he saw Li Jiancheng, and he couldn't help but praise: "What a handsome young man in troubled times."

Li Jiancheng has regular features and handsome appearance. He has a gentle and jade-like temperament and a sense of intimacy.

After Li Jiancheng saw Ji Bofu coming in, he stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Li Jiancheng has seen Taiping Daozi!!"

Ji Bofu sat at the top, smiled and waved his hand to signal Li Jiancheng to sit down. He picked up the teacup and sipped it lightly before saying: "To be honest, I am surprised that you came to Pindao."

Li Jiancheng laughed and said: "Actually, it's Jiancheng, isn't it? After Shimin, Xiuning and Chai Shao ambushed Daozi, Jiancheng has been looking for an opportunity to visit Daozi to thank Daozi for sparing their lives. It's just a common thing.

It was not until today that I found the opportunity to express my gratitude to Daozi."

After saying that, Li Jiancheng stood up again and bowed: "Thank you Daozi for sparing the people and saving the lives of Xiu Ning and Chai Shao. Thank you Daozi for not forgetting the faults of villains. We, the Li family, will definitely keep this in our hearts!!"<

/p>

Ji Bofu raised his eyebrows. He did not expect that Li Jiancheng's attitude would be so low. It stands to reason that although the Li family was pushed up by many powerful families, in terms of territory, Li Yuan currently holds the most territory.
p>

The entire south, except for Xiao Mian, has all fallen into the hands of Li Yuan. Moreover, now that Li Yuan has proclaimed himself the king of Tang, he is not far away from proclaiming himself emperor.

With the blessing of this status, Li Jiancheng is still willing to lower his profile, which is worth imagining.

Ji Bofu said politely: "Young Master Li is so polite. I think he also knows the whole story. Xiuning used herself as collateral in exchange for the lives of Li Shimin and Chai Shao. This matter has been settled."
p>

Since Li Jiancheng came as the son of Tang Guogong, he naturally had to treat him as the son of Tang Guogong. Otherwise, if word spread, wouldn't everyone laugh at him for being a Taiping Daoist who bullied the small?

Although most of what he said to Queen Xiao earlier was joking, it was true that he had set his sights on the older generation.

Not only did he look at the older generation, but even the older generation regarded him as an equal. No rebel king dared to regard him as an ordinary little Taoist priest.

Li Jiancheng said in fear: "Daozi, please don't say that. If you hadn't spared their lives, they would have died long ago."

Ji Bofu frowned slightly, Li Jiancheng's posture was lowered, which made people confused about Li Jiancheng's purpose. He would not have thought that Li Jiancheng came here just to thank him.

Fan.

As the eldest son of the most powerful rebel against the king today, I don’t know how many people want his head.

After all, once Li Yuan becomes emperor, he will be the prince. To be fair, Li Yuan's territory is really quite big now.

But if you want to play, Master Dao will play with you!

Ji Bofu rested his hands on the armrests, and kept tapping the armrests with his left index finger, making a crisp sound, "Young Master, it's been a long time since we parted ways in Liaodong City. I wonder what will happen to Li Shimin after he returns?

I think Li Shimin should have been well-known in Jiuzhou for his ability, but why haven't I heard his name recently?"

Ji Bofu didn't mean to disgust Li Jiancheng. He was really confused about where Li Shimin had gone.

Right now, when the Li clan needs people, how could Li Shimin, the leading general, not show up?

This is very unreasonable.

Li Jiancheng's eyes turned red instantly, and he didn't know whether it was a pretense or the emotions deep down in his heart suddenly couldn't be suppressed, "Shimin... Shimin has already gone..."

"Going?"

Ji Bofu stared at Li Jiancheng carefully with his eyes wide open. After realizing that Li Jiancheng was not disguised, he asked doubtfully: "How could he die? Who killed him?"

"Family scandals are not afraid of being publicized." Li Jiancheng wiped his eyes silently and sighed: "I'm not too slow to do anything. He left Shimin just before Jiancheng came to Zhuojun."

"But the key point is that he was killed in the secret room of our Li family. The secret room is the core area of ​​our Li family. It is impossible for outsiders to have access to it. So now we are also investigating to find out who is responsible for the attack on Shimin."

The murderer!!"

When Li Shimin said this, the hatred on his face was undisguised, and Ji Bofu was stunned for a moment.

Dead?

Is Li Shimin really dead?

Ji Bofu still can't believe that Li Shimin actually died like this. His life has just begun, and his peak glory is unimaginable by outsiders.

But he died just like that, quietly. If Li Jiancheng hadn't told him, he wouldn't have even known that Li Shimin was dead.

It seems that Master Dao will keep a lower profile in the future...

Li Shimin's death sounded the alarm in his heart. Although he and Li Shimin were enemies of each other, he had already secretly done something wrong. It could be said that Li Shimin had to die whenever he wanted Li Shimin to die.

But after hearing the news that Li Shimin was really dead, he couldn't help but feel a trace of melancholy in his heart.

The last time I felt this way was when I heard that Yang Guang passed away.

This is not the sadness of the death of rabbits and the sadness of animals, but the sadness of the waves of the times rolling in, and the melancholy of everyone being knocked over by the waves.

This is the melancholy after a future that only he knows is completely in chaos.

If I don't come to this life, will the development of this world still develop as I know in my heart?

Ji Bofu felt a little melancholy, but he was definitely not confused. He just felt that he had personally witnessed something...

"How did Li Shimin die? Was he poisoned?" Ji Bofu put away the melancholy in his heart. He was still a little curious about the way Li Shimin died.

After all, according to what Li Jiancheng said, Li Shimin was in seclusion in the secret room of the Li family. He could not imagine any other way to kill Li Shimin in such a place except poison.

Whether it’s martial arts techniques or a monk’s spirit leaving his body, people will discover these.

Li Jiancheng's face was a little ugly. He obviously didn't want to recall the way Li Shimin died, but after thinking about the purpose of his trip, he still gritted his teeth and said: "Shimin's forehead was hit with a wound the size of an egg. The person who did it was really vicious.

Oh, Shimin... Shimin didn’t even leave his body behind!!”

After saying this, Li Jiancheng made a fist with his left hand and punched the armrest.

A wound the size of an egg?

Ji Bofu's heart skipped a beat and he asked tentatively: "When did you find out that Li Shimin had been killed?"

Li Jiancheng's eyes flashed with suspicion, "Just ten days ago!!"

The corners of Ji Bofu's eyes kept twitching, and he stiffly turned his head and glanced in the direction of Xiangfeng but said nothing.

Tao Ye did not kill Boren, but Boren died because of Dao Ye!!

Although he was not sure whether the Emperor's Martial Arts that his master took out was from Li Shimin's mind, he felt in his heart that Li Shimin's death must be related to his master.

After all...there is no such thing as a coincidence.

It happened that Master's hand reached into the void, it happened that Li Shimin died, and it happened that Li Shimin died in the secret room.

Can you do it in a secret room?

It’s nothing more than practicing or studying magical secrets...

"Tsk!"

Ji Bofu shook his head with pity on his face and said: "Li Shimin...his luck is really..."

"Who says it's not?" Li Jiancheng took a deep breath and suppressed the surging emotions in his heart and said: "The days to come will definitely get better and better. The light has obviously come to light, but Shimin fell in the middle of the road, alas.

!!"

"Alas!!"

Ji Bofu had no choice but to help him.

Death is the most important thing. He and Li Clan had some minor frictions, but he was not the kind of person who could laugh out loud in front of the victim's family.

At least I can’t laugh now. If I want to laugh, I have to hide in a place where no one is around and laugh.

Ji Bofu picked up the tea cup to slightly cover the corners of his raised mouth, and took a sip of tea. After putting down the tea cup, he had suppressed the raised corners of his mouth and said, "I don't know if my young master is not at home to mourn, so he came to Zhuojun."

What's going on?"

Li Jiancheng cupped his hands and said, "Daozi, Jiancheng came here just for this matter. Jiancheng came here just to take Xiuning home for a while and to bury Shimin. It would be too shameful for her sister not to be present."

The fox’s tail is exposed!

Ji Bofu looked at Li Jiancheng with a half-smile but said: "Young Master, it seems that Pindao has just said that Li Xiuning used himself as a pledge."

"In other words, Li Xiuning is Pindao's personal property, and you just want to take Li Xiuning away with such empty talk?"

Li Jiancheng stood up in a hurry and said: "Daozi misunderstood Jiancheng. Jiancheng just wanted Xiuning to go home to attend Shimin's funeral. Jiancheng will send her back once the funeral is over."

Ji Bofu pretended to be puzzled and said: "Isn't it true that Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou?"

"No, no, Jiancheng will definitely not do such a thing!"

Li Jiancheng gave repeated assurances.

Ji Bofu changed the subject and said: "Actually, Xiuning is of no use here at Pindao. Her talents cannot be fully utilized. On weekdays, she can only do things like serving tea and water. Pindao looks at her talents.

I can’t bear to be so abandoned.”

It doesn't matter to him whether Li Xiuning stays or goes. Anyway, Li Xiuning will obey him whenever his thoughts move.

He knew that Li Jiancheng wanted to take Li Xiuning back because he wanted Li Xiuning to command the Li clan's troops. He was afraid that Li Xiuning would quickly return to the Li clan to command the troops.

The higher Li Xiuning's prestige among Li Clan's army, the happier he felt.

If all Li Clan's troops were willing to die for Li Xiuning, he would probably be able to wake up laughing at night.

Who doesn’t know how to play the trick of dove occupying the magpie’s nest? It’s hard to say whether the territory Li Xiuning laid down will be named Ji or Li in the end.
