Chapter 548: Losing the Emperor’s Sword and Gaining Heart
Who is Li Er?
Li Yuan’s uncle;
Li Shimin’s second uncle;
The oldest Taishang Elder in Taoism today;
He is also one of the few great masters in the world.
In terms of the study of metaphysics, Taoism ranks first among all schools of thought, and Li Er is the best among Taoists, so his words are the truth in a certain sense.
What's more, Li Er also comes from the Li family. Since he asserts that Long Yuan is the foundation for the rise of the Li family, how can he be wrong!
Therefore, Long Yuan is simply the lifeblood of the Li family, and this lifeblood was actually given away by Li Xiuning. How could Li Shimin not be anxious?
Li Shimin grabbed Li Xiuning's shoulder and asked anxiously: "Who did you give it to? Who did you give it to?"
Li Xiuning was startled by Li Shimin's appearance, and said with a slightly painful expression: "Second brother, you hurt me."
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, then took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and said solemnly: "Xiu Ning, please tell me who Longquan sent as a gift. This is very important to our Li family."
Seeing that her second brother didn't look like he was faking it, Li Xiuning had no choice but to hesitate and tell the truth.
After hearing this, Li Shimin almost wanted to die. His sister actually gave Long Yuan to Qin Hao.
If it were anyone else, Li Shimin would definitely take back Long Yuan at all costs, even with force. After all, the rise of the family is more important than anything else.
However, Qin Hao was far superior to Li Shimin in both strength and background. Even his father-in-law Dong Zhuo did not dare to offend him easily. How could Li Shimin dare to provoke him?
"Xiu Ning, what sword do you want to give as a gift? I have to give it to Longquan. Don't you know that it is dad's favorite sword?"
Li Shimin scolded him angrily, and then said: "Once dad finds out, neither of us will get anything good to eat. You go and get Longquan back. Second brother, I will give another one to Mr. Hou."
Long Yuan definitely had to take it back, and he definitely couldn't use force when facing Qin Hao, so the best way was to let Li Xiuning get it.
Presumably, if Xiuning, the giver, asked for it, Qin Hao would not refuse to return it, right? Li Shimin secretly thought in his heart, he didn't know that Qin Hao didn't want it at all, it was Li Xiuning who forced it on him.
Looking at his angry brother, Li Xiuning was surprised. He never expected that his gentle and elegant second brother would be so rude because of a sword.
It's just a sword, isn't it? No, there must be something going on here! Li Xiuning thought to herself.
Li Xiuning was wary in his heart, but he said nonchalantly: "Second brother, the champion saved Xiu Ning's life. What's wrong with Xiuning giving him a sword? Don't worry, second brother, my father loves Xiu Ning the most, so he definitely won't
So stingy."
Li Shimin was speechless and could only say: "Longquan is the sword of the head of my Li family, and it must not be lost..."
"The sword of the family leader?"
Li Xiuning glanced at Li Shimin suspiciously and asked doubtfully: "Does our Li family have such a thing?"
"..."
Li Shimin completely lost his patience and said angrily: "Just say whether you want to go or not?"
"Not going."
"You..."
Li Shimin felt like he was going crazy, but Li Xiuning lowered his head in aggrieved manner and said, "I just gave you away, how can I have the nerve to ask for it back!"
"Okay, if you don't go, I will."
Li Shimin did not confess to his sister in the end. Such secrets cannot be revealed even to the closest people, just like Qin Wen, who has not told Qin Jian the secrets of the Qin family so far.
Li Xiuning was unwilling to ask for it, so Li Shimin had no choice but to go by himself. But what he didn't know was that Li Xiuning secretly followed him.
Li Shimin planned to come to reason with Qin Hao this time, but after seeing Qin Hao, the first words Qin Hao said scared him.
Qin Hao looked at Li Shimin with a joking face and said with a smile: "Brother Shimin, are you here to beg Long Yuan?"
Li Shimin was suddenly shocked. How did Qin Hao know that Longquan was Longyuan? What else did he know?
Li Xiuning outside the tent was also shocked, Long Yuan? How could Long Quan be Long Yuan? What on earth is going on?
"The people of the world don't understand what the Marquis said, but Longquan is the sword of the head of my Li family. Please return it to me, Marquis." Li Shimin said neither humble nor overbearing.
Qin Hao smiled calmly and said: "In that case, let the property return to its original owner."
With that said, Qin Hao handed Long Yuan to Li Shimin, and Li Shimin's eyes were even more unbelievable.
If Qin Hao didn't know Long Yuan, Li Shimin would still be willing to believe that he would return it, but after knowing that it was Long Yuan in his hands, Qin Hao was still willing to return it, which Li Shimin found a little incredible.
Qin Hao, what do you want to do?
Li Shimin screamed crazily in his heart, but he still held Long Yuan's hand that Qin Hao handed over. When he wanted to take it, Qin Hao had no intention of letting go. No matter how hard Li Shimin tried, he would not let go.<
/p>
"Brother Qin, what do you mean?" Li Shimin said coldly.
Qin Hao stared into Li Shimin's eyes and said seriously: "Brother Shimin, Long Yuan is a noble sword. Only people of noble character can hold it. I hope you will not insult it!"
After saying that, Qin Hao let go of his hand, and Li Shimin's face became extremely serious, and for the first time, he looked at Qin Hao with admiration in his eyes.
Because of Mu Guiying, Li Shimin had always been hostile to Qin Hao, but at this moment he felt that Qin Hao was his confidant.
"Thank you."
Li Shimin didn't say much. He cupped his fists and said thank you, then turned around and left.
The gratitude between men does not need to be expressed in words.
After watching Li Shimin leave, Qin Hao smiled and shook his head, and then whispered to the outside world: "Come out, I have been eavesdropping for so long."
There was no movement outside, but Qin Hao said again: "Do you want me to invite you out personally? Miss Li Xiuning?"
Li Xiuning, dressed in women's clothing, walked in slowly. Even though Qin Hao had seen the beautiful woman, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but secretly sigh: What a beautiful lady!
At this time, Li Xiuning asked seriously: "Master Hou, since you know that Longquan is Longyuan, why do you want to come back?"
Qin Hao didn't think twice and replied with a smile: "Miss Xiuning, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"
"Of course it's the truth."
"Things that are not yours must naturally be returned to their original owners."
Li Xiuning opened his mouth, and then said: "But that's Long Yuan!"
"So what about Long Yuan?"
Li Xiuning was speechless. She felt that she really couldn't understand Qin Hao.
"What about lies?" Li Xiuning asked again.
"The lady gave the family sword to Qin Hao without knowing it. If Qin Hao doesn't return it, then Xiuning will suffer, so you must return it both emotionally and rationally."<
/p>
Li Xiuning was stunned and thought: Did he return Long Yuan because of me?
