In the hands of the two female soldiers is a weapon that looks like a sword but not a sword, and looks like a knife but not a knife. It is three feet three feet long. The blade is slightly curved. Under the illumination of the light, it reflects a unique edge, which is the most eye-catching. But it is the seven gems of the same size but different colors inlaid on the long handle.
Seeing this weapon, Shi Wanbao couldn't calm down at all. Isn't this the weapon he lost back then, the Seven-Aperture Sword? When he was defeated miserably, he threw this Seven-Aperture Sword to Ziyun Temple and Chihuo Taoist priests as an apology. Disciple, I was prepared to never see this old man again. I never thought that I would have the opportunity to see this sword again in this life.
Hearing Shi Wanbao's words, Li Xiuning's beautiful eyes immediately flashed a look of ridicule. However, there was a surprised expression on his face. He said: "Sword of Seven Orifices. General Shi. You must have made a mistake. This is Xiuning." The sword I got from a friend is not General Shi's seven-orificed sword."
Wrong. How could it be possible? Shi Wanbao had no such idea at all. This seven-orificed sword was when Shi Wanbao did a righteous deed. When he was first called the Chang'an Hero by people in the world, several people were saved by Shi Wanbao. Hu Shang personally gave it to Shi Wanbao as a gift. Since then, this seven-orificed sword has been with Shi Wanbao for nearly twenty years. Shi Wanbao can recognize this sword even if he just touches it with his fingers. .How could he admit his mistake?
Taking a deep breath, Shi Wanbao's mind immediately began to spin rapidly. To be able to survive in the cannibalistic world of Jianghu for so long and even gain such a high reputation, Shi Wanbao is certainly not a fool. Li Xiuning suddenly suddenly Visiting himself. And every word he said was directed at his Seven-Aperture Sword. In the end, he even revealed the Seven-Aperture Sword. To say that all of this was just an accident. Then Shi Wanbao's decades in the world... all of them. Lived like a dog.
At that time, Shi Wanbao, the Qiqiao Sword, had obviously been handed over to the disciples of Ziyun Temple and Chihuo Taoist. Later, Shi Wanbao also learned through the Li family that the disciples of Ziyun Temple and Chihuo Taoist were Liang Wang Wanhe who occupied Luoyang. His two generals, Li Jing and Pei Xingyan, and according to intelligence spies learned that Shi Wanbao's Qiqiao sword had fallen into Wan He's hands and became Wan He's protective weapon.
With Wan He's identity and the fact that Luoyang's forces have now taken control of the Central Plains, Wan He's protective weapon is absolutely impossible to be taken away by others. But now, the Seven-Aperture Sword has appeared directly in Li Xiuning's possession. In his hands, what happened, and what was the purpose of Li Xiuning coming here? Shi Wanbao thought about it, but still couldn't think of a reason. In the end, he could only raise his head, look at Li Xiuning for the first time, and said: "Princess, we are wise people and don't tell secrets. General Jiang lost this sword with seven orifices back then. Today, Princess got it back. But there is something that requires the general's service. As long as the general can do it, I will definitely do it."
Li Xiuning couldn't help but secretly praise him. This Shi Wanbao was worthy of his humble background. Compared with those old people who had been immersed in officialdom for many years, he was easy to talk to. If it were those old people, he would never be so happy. Immediately Li Xiuning just smiled and said: "Since General Shi is so generous, Xiuning doesn't dare to hide it anymore. Xiuning has a friend who recently offended Xiuning's second brother. So he wants to leave Chang'an quickly, but he doesn't dare to do it openly. I'm afraid of attracting the attention of my second brother. General Shi has always been responsible for guarding the city of Chang'an. So, Xiuning has no choice but to be shameless and ask General Shi to show mercy."
Friend, after hearing Li Xiuning's request, Shi Wanbao's heart immediately changed three times. With Li Xiuning's status and identity, even if her friend offended Li Shimin, there would not be any danger. Li Xiuning was willing to plead with him. Then she can beg for mercy from Li Shimin. As long as she opens her mouth, considering Li Shimin's character, there is nothing she can't agree to. Now Li Xiuning would rather beg for herself, an outsider, than to beg for her brother. The reason can only be that Li Xiuning I'm afraid this friend is not that simple. And Shi Wanbao immediately remembered the uproar before, about Liang Wang Wanhe's appearance in Chang'an. And his seven-orificed sword, shouldn't it be in Wanhe's hand? Could it be that Li Xiuning’s friend is...
Thinking of this, Shi Wanbao was suddenly shocked. He couldn't help shouting to Li Xiuning: "Princess, your friend. He is Wan..."
"Shh." Seeing that Shi Wanbao had already guessed it, Li Xiuning immediately raised his jade finger on his red lips and made a gesture of silence. At the same time, he winked at Shi Wanbao. Shi Wanbao also hesitated. After a while, he finally nodded vigorously and shouted to the old housekeeper who was guarding outside: "Close the door. Have someone guard the living room. Don't let anyone get close."
Although the old butler had some doubts, he never thought of disobeying Shi Wanbao's order. Immediately, the old butler bowed to Shi Wanbao, walked backwards and exited the living room, closed the door tightly, and passed. After a while, Li Xiuning made sure that there was no one around. Then the smile on his face faded and he said to Shi Wanbao seriously: "Since Daxia Shi has already guessed it, Xiuning will not hide it from Daxia Shi. That's right. Xiu Ning This friend of mine is Liang Wang Wanhe."
Before, Li Xiuning still called Shi Wanbao General Shi, but now he changed his name and called him Daxia Shi. The intention was of course self-evident. It was to let Shi Wanbao remember that he was a hero who promised a thousand pieces of gold. How could Shi Wanbao not understand Li Xiuning? I couldn't help but smile bitterly in my heart. In that battle that year, if Li Jing and Pei Xingyan really wanted to kill everyone, Shi Wanbao and the brothers he brought would all die there. But in the end, the other party still let him go. Although Afterwards, Shi Wanbao kept the Seven-Orificed Sword. But how could Shi Wanbao not understand that that mere sword was not worth the lives of himself and those of his brothers. Besides, if someone killed someone, the sword would not belong to others. .In this matter, I owe the other party a favor.
Talking about favors in the officialdom, especially talking about favors with one's enemies, will lead to death without leaving any bones. But Shi Wanbao is not from an officialdom after all. In the world of rivers and lakes, if you owe a favor, you must pay it back. Pay attention to repaying grudges and grudges. .If Shi Wanbao didn't know how to repay his kindness, then his decades in the world would have been in vain. On this point, Li Xiuning was very sure. Shi Wanbao really couldn't do that kind of treacherous thing.
Shi Wanbao, who was troubled in his heart, couldn't help but raised his head and looked at Li Xiuning. He said with disbelief: "Princess, don't forget, you are a member of the Li family. You and Wan He, you..."
"The Li family is the Li family. I am me." Li Xiuning answered Shi Wanbao's question very firmly. In the face of love, women will always become extremely brave and blind. Blindness is a bad thing, but bravery But it was a good thing. At least, Li Xiuning no longer hesitated after making the decision.
After receiving such an answer from Li Xiuning, Shi Wanbao couldn't help but reveal a wry smile. Even the Li family and his daughter were so willing to give up. So what else could he not give up? Immediately, Shi Wanbao nodded vigorously and said to Li Xiuning: "Okay. .I owed Wan He several lives back then. Now I just have to pay him back. When will he leave?"
Li Xiuning was immediately overjoyed when Shi Wanbao agreed. Although she had previously concluded that Shi Wanbao would not refuse, Li Xiuning was still a little uneasy until Shi Wanbao actually agreed. Now that Shi Wanbao has agreed, given Shi Wanbao's temperament, then He will never go back on his word, let alone say one thing and do another, and betray Li Xiuning and Wan He behind his back. The biggest stone in Li Xiuning's heart has already fallen. When he even said: "Of course, the sooner the better. Everything depends on General Shi made arrangements."
Wanhe's side has already been prepared. Although on the surface, Qianji Porcelain Shop is still operating normally, the people operating in the porcelain shop are all hired from the local people. And the cronies brought by Wanhe have already made arrangements. Returned to Qian's Mansion. As for other trivial things, they were secretly transported out of the city in the past few days. Even the weak Du Ruhui and Wang Gui were sent out of Chang'an early under the escort of Zhang Qingyu. Li Shimin's only target was Wan He. .As long as Qian Que, pretended by Wan He, still goes to the Prince's Mansion every day, then Li Shimin will not take any action.
Since Li Xiuning said so, Shi Wanbao naturally began to think about the plan. He lowered his head and thought for a moment. Shi Wanbao then raised his head and said: "General Li should arrive in Chang'an in three days. This matter cannot be delayed any longer. .It just so happens that I will be on duty tomorrow night. The princess can ask Wan He to prepare the carriage and leave tomorrow night."
The General Li Shi Wanbao was talking about was none other than Li Shentong, the number one master of the Li family. In about ten days it will be time for Li Yuan to ascend the throne. Li Shentong will also rush back to Chang'an to attend Li Yuan's enthronement ceremony. If he waits until Li Shentong returns, When arriving in Chang'an, the entire Chang'an city garrison will be returned to the command of Li Shentong. By then, even if Shi Wanbao wants to help, he will not be able to help Wan He.
Li Xiuning naturally knew that Li Shentong was coming back. He nodded vigorously and said, "Then it's agreed. We'll meet at the East City Gate tomorrow night at midnight."
"We." Hearing Li Xiuning's words, Shi Wanbao suddenly thought of something different. He immediately looked at Li Xiuning with wide eyes and exclaimed: "Princess, are you going to follow Wanhe and leave Chang'an?" .”
Li Xiuning smiled again, but this time the smile was full of bitterness. Li Xiuning looked at Shi Wanbao helplessly and said: "Master Shi, do you think Xiuning can still stay in Chang'an after doing such a thing? This Chang'an can no longer accommodate Xiu Ning."
