You kid! You don't have to be so low-key! !

"I'll take you to the inn." Li Qingxi said.

Changqing nodded, untied the rope that tied the horse, and walked forward together.

"Your Majesty, how did you know that I came to the Imperial City?"

Chang Qing asked the question in his mind, but used a respectful title and kept some distance.

Li Qingxi also heard it, but didn't care. Instead, he raised the wooden sword in his hand and said:

"I finished dealing with state affairs tonight and returned to the study room. I found that the sword was trembling slightly. I could feel the sword's joy. It was the excitement of seeing an acquaintance. I immediately knew it was you, so I followed the sword's guidance and came here."

"Oh, so that's how it is. Thank you, Your Majesty, for clearing up my confusion." Chang Qing replied.

For a moment, the atmosphere was a little awkward and no one knew what to say.

And ahead is the inn.

Chang Qing straightened his back, smiled at Li Qingxi, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for coming to see me off in person. But Your Majesty is worth a fortune, so please return quickly~"

Before he finished speaking, Li Qingxi said to Chang Qing: "It's so late, the inn may not be open for business, so let's send someone to ask."

After she finished speaking, she signaled with her eyes and a soldier walked into the inn. After a while, the candles in the inn went out and the whole inn became dark.

The soldier came out and said, "Your Majesty, this inn is indeed closed. I'm afraid all the inns in the city are closed at this time."

Looking at the poor acting of the master and servant, black lines crept up Changqing's forehead.

"General, why don't you rest in the palace today? Your room has been cleaned all the time. I don't think you will offend me!"

Li Qingxi had an expression as if a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water.

Having said this, Changqing didn't have much chance to refute, so he had no choice but to agree and walk towards the palace.

After entering the imperial city, the guards dispersed and Lao Ma was taken away, leaving only Chang Qing, Li Qingxi and a personal maid. They walked silently in the courtyard. No one spoke and the air seemed to have become dead silent.

When they arrived, Chang Qing was about to say goodbye, but Li Qingxi spoke first, "We have come a long way, General, don't you want to invite me in for some tea?"

Changqing knew that Li Qingxi wanted to say something to him, and that was fine, as some things were better off being said explicitly, so Changqing did not refuse.

Li Qingxi said to the maid: "Bring me the wine I have collected and prepare some side dishes."

The maid nodded and left.

Candles were lit in the house, and the items were still arranged as they were when I left. The house was very clean, as if someone cleaned it regularly.

Li Qingxi frowned and stared at Chang Qing and said, "You came to the Imperial City just to give me a sword. If your sword hadn't sensed you, I'm afraid we would never see each other again in this life."

Changqing hesitated for a moment but nodded and asked, "How are you guys? Are you doing well?"

Li Qingxi smiled gently, and the candlelight seemed to be illuminated: "Very good, the country has developed in the expected direction in the past two years. But you helped us so much, but before we could thank you, you left without saying goodbye." There was some resentment in his words.

Chang Qing scratched his head awkwardly. It was indeed his fault and he didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Fortunately, the maid outside knocked on the door and brought wine and food, which saved Changqing from the predicament.

Three jars of wine were brought in, one of which was very small and unique in appearance. Li Qingxi picked it out and placed it next to him.

After the maid left, Li Qingxi began to persuade people to drink.

"General, shouldn't you drink a glass of wine as punishment for leaving without saying goodbye two years ago?"

"This is a toast to you, thank you for helping me with my advice";

"This cup is to thank you, General, for giving me those recipes, which helped the country's financial resources recover quickly."

After drinking three glasses of wine in a short period of time, Changqing felt slightly drunk even with the help of spiritual energy.

The two talked about what happened in the volcano, including battles, training, and embarrassing moments.

Li Qingxi drank a lot and was a little dizzy. He started dancing and walked towards where Changqing was sitting. He stumbled and fell into Changqing's arms.

The clothes are half off, revealing the spring beauty.

Chang Qing quickly closed his eyes and fumbled for the corner of his clothes, wanting to put them on Li Qingxi again.

But his hand was grabbed by Li Qingxi and he could not retreat at all.

"Master Zhang, why don't you open your eyes and take a look? Qingxi is willing. As long as you are willing, this body is yours. Qingxi will not stop you, let alone refuse you."

Li Qingxi's voice turned into a hint of charm and penetrated into Changqing's heart. The seed transformed from his sea of ​​thoughts shook violently and almost became unstable.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the throbbing in his heart, and said:

“You’ve had too much to drink”

She was about to get up and call the maid outside the door.

Seeing this, Li Qingxi sighed, his dazed eyes quickly regained clarity, he put on his clothes and left Changqing's arms.

She wasn't drunk! It was all an act.

"You treat me like the plague and you don't even want to come to the imperial city to see me. Am I really that scary?" Li Qingxi sat down again with a gloomy look on his face.

Although Changqing is a normal man, he knows that this is a fire pit. There is a feeling in his heart that is frantically reminding Changqing to stay calm.

Chang Qing stared at the candle flame without joy or sadness and said:

"The road to immortality is ruthless. The purpose of cultivation is to eliminate human desires and seek the way of heaven. My situation and the things I must accomplish cannot be easily moved by emotions. It is most appropriate to describe it as the gap between immortals and mortals..."

"Enough! Immortal, immortal, is cultivating Taoism and achieving immortality really that fascinating?"

Li Qingxi raised his eyebrows and interrupted Chang Qing with the majesty of a superior.

Seeing this scene, Chang Qing sighed: "There are many people in this world who are trapped by their own hearts. Sometimes they need to let go."

"No, I don't want to give up. Zhang Changqing, please stay here. You can practice Taoism here, and you can get everything here. Even if you want to sit on the throne, I will give it to you!"

Li Qingxi tried to keep him almost pleadingly.

She wanted this mysterious immortal to stay by her side forever, even if it meant giving up the throne. She... was unwilling to let go.

Chang Qing still shook his head and said, "I will leave tomorrow. I am afraid we will never meet again."

Li Qingxi tried to save the situation: "Do you really have to be so heartless?"

Seeing Chang Qing indifferent, Li Qingxi's eyes changed, as if he had made up his mind.

Her expression became calm, and after a long sigh, she seemed to have accepted it. She leaned over and opened the small jar of wine. Suddenly, the room was filled with fragrance, and it was obviously good wine.

Then he poured a cup for Changqing and said:

"Forget it. Since you have decided to leave, I can't try to keep you any longer. This wine is my exclusive collection. Let's use this glass of wine as a farewell between you and me. I wish you all the best in your future journey, Master Zhang."

After saying that, he drank the wine in the glass in one breath.

Changqing looked at the light green wine in the glass and drank it in one gulp without thinking much.

But when the wine went down his throat, an inexplicable force quickly spread out, began to erode the spiritual energy in his body, and spread along the spiritual energy to the meridians.

Changqing's expression changed slightly, and then he reacted quickly.

He used his spiritual power to barely force out half a glass of wine, then looked at Li Qingxi in disbelief, confusion, shock, anger, and regret welling up in his heart.

Li Qingxi's face returned to its superior expression. She did drink it just now, but this medicine was not for mortals.

Looking at Changqing's painful face, he seemed unable to bear it and walked over to support Changqing.

He whispered in Changqing's ear:

"Don't blame me, forgive my selfishness."

"This substance is called 'Broken Meridian Powder'. It is a poison in ancient books that specifically targets you immortals. It specifically corrodes the meridians and dissolves the immortal power. From the moment you take it, you are destined to become a mortal."
