Although the three coachmen did not sleep well all night, they were still shocked when they saw Li Hu waiting for a large group of Qin troops the next day.

The same goes for Meng Jiang. Deep down, she doesn't like Qin Jun.

Because the Yamen captured his husband Fan Xiliang, she still felt unhappy even though she knew that the Qin Jun in front of her was here to pick up the lady from the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Li Xiuyuan divided the money between the coachman and the three women. After breakfast, he called Meng Jiang when the Prime Minister was about to get on the carriage.

Looking at the two women, he said quietly: "We can reach the Great Wall today. Meng Jiang, please come with me in a carriage."

Meng Jiang felt warm in her heart, and almost shed two more tears.

He turned around and bowed to Miss Xiangfu Yingying, and said softly: "Meng Jiang, thank you very much for taking care of me all the way. Please let me accompany Brother Li on this last journey."

Although the smart Meng Jiang didn't say anything, Miss Xiangfu understood the meaning.

She had no choice but to nod her head helplessly, and said with a faint smile: "The shopkeeper is a good friend of my husband. Sister, please talk to him."

The coachman didn't say anything, just hitched up the carriage and drove the horse up the official road.

It wasn't until all the Qin troops mounted their horses and left that Li Xiuyuan asked the driver to follow him at a distance because he had made a decision last night.

He decided not to take Meng Jiang to meet Prince Su. There should be a village near the Great Wall. He decided to settle Meng Jiang first and then go to meet Prince Su.

Perhaps this is the only way to avoid causing more harm to Miss Xiangfu and Meng Jiang.

After all, many years later, Li Xiuyuan hoped that the two women could watch each other.

Meng Jiang looked at Li Xiuyuan's silent expression, and after a while he asked softly: "Shopkeeper, what are we..."

Li Xiuyuan sighed and said: "She is an official and you are a citizen. We can't talk about it at the moment. I will talk to you about this later. I will find a place for you to stay tonight."

"Leave it to me to find your husband. Follow my arrangements. Don't be impatient."

In Li Xiuyuan's opinion, as long as he saw Young Master Su and checked the roster, he would be able to find Fan Xiliang's whereabouts. No matter whether he was dead or alive, Young Master Su would give him an explanation.

Otherwise, at worst, he would turn around and leave with Meng Jiang, and from then on, the young master Su on the Great Wall and the lady from the Prime Minister's Mansion would never be able to enter his dreams again.

This is not a transaction, but an attitude that he believes he must have.

If Prince Su and General Meng didn't even have such an attitude, there would be no need for him to be compassionate and make unnecessary attempts.

The emperor's prince is a human being, and Fan Xiliang, an ordinary family member, is also a human being.

Li Xiuyuan couldn't control the thousands of civilians on the Great Wall. In his heart, he wanted to at least give Meng Jiang an explanation. This was his persistence.

Although he was scolded countless times by the old Taoist priest, this was Li Xiuyuan's human nature.

Human nature is natural, and he didn't want to deliberately correct it.

He had said as early as in Five Domains and Worlds that if he could leave his humanity behind, then why bother learning Buddhism and becoming an immortal instead of becoming a demon?

Meng Jiang couldn't help feeling sad. She also knew that as a weak woman, she might not be able to see her husband.

Fortunately, she met Li Xiuyuan, who was like an elder brother, during her life and death.

After thinking for a while, Meng Jiang said softly: "Just follow Brother Li's arrangement, Meng Jiang will wait..."

This time, it was Li Xiuyuan's turn to be in a daze.

The strong woman in front of her placed all her hopes on herself, if she learned that her husband had died on the Great Wall.

He couldn't even imagine that miserable scene.

Searching and searching, deserted and miserable.

Meng Jiang, who had traveled thousands of miles to search for her husband, was afraid that even Fan Xiliang's intact bones would be hard to find.

In Li Xiuyuan's eyes, Fan Xiliang is Meng Jiang's heaven. If the sky is gone, why do we still need this land? Why are we afraid of the king? If the people are not afraid of death, why should they fear the king?

After thinking for a long time, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but take out a pot of black bean wine, a plate of dried meat, two bowls and poured half a bowl of wine into them.

Looking at Meng Jiang, he smiled bitterly and said: "If you have wine today, you will get drunk today, no matter whether it is windy or rainy tomorrow."

After thinking about it, he poured another bowl of wine and handed it to the driver: "Old Wang, come and have a bowl of wine. I'll give you a reward for the money when you get to the field."

The coachman was stunned for a moment, then took the bowl and laughed loudly: "Shopkeeper, you are really a wonderful person. You can scold you if you want, and drink if you want to drink. These are the happy days."

Meng Jiang has a better drinking capacity than Li Xiuyuan. Seeing Li Xiuyuan blushing after just one sip of wine, he laughed and said, "I can't believe that my eldest brother is clearly making wine, but he doesn't have the capacity to drink."

Li Xiuyuan waved to the coachman and said, "If you are not happy in life, what else can you do if you don't drink?"

The coachman was stunned and blurted out: "Shopkeeper, you can still kill bandits with a sword. I have traveled all over the country, but I have never seen someone who can kill a government guard and still be as comfortable as you."

"That's what they deserve."

Li Xiuyuan said leisurely: "As long as they don't come to provoke me, otherwise I will kill as many as they come."

After that, he took another sip of wine, looked at Meng Jiang and said with a smile: "I make wine to make a living, and to support my younger brother in school. When I get to the foot of the Great Wall, I will teach you how to make wine sometime."

Meng Jiang was stunned when she heard this. This was something she had never thought of.

Li Xiuyuan drank a bowl of wine and then leaned against the car window and fell asleep. He had not slept at all last night, so he drank wine to make up for it.

Meng Jiang was not in a hurry, he held a jar of wine and drank with the coachman.

While drinking, I thought that if I had the chance, I could really learn from Li Xiuyuan how to brew this vat of intoxicating wine.

At the end of the journey, the motorcade arrived at a village called Prince Village.

Li Hu came over and looked at Li Xiuyuan and said: "Shopkeeper Li, the lady and we have to go dozens of miles to see His Highness. Are you going to rest here or come with us?"

Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said, "Please tell Mr. Su that I will go see him tomorrow and I will stay here tonight."

Li Hu nodded, cupped his hands and said, "In that case, I will take the young lady and leave first."

Waving his hand, Li Xiuyuan replied: "Protect your lady, we will talk later."

Prince Camp was just a remote village, so there was no inn. Li Xiuyuan asked the coachman to go around and found a family with only two old people to stay overnight.

He asked the coachman to lead the two horses he had brought into the old man's yard. He also rewarded the coachman with a lot of money and asked him to find a family to spend the night and leave tomorrow.

It is rare to have guests in an old man's home, so he would not refuse Li Xiuyuan's request to stay overnight.

It wasn't until the old woman took Meng Jiang to clean the house, and until Meng Jiang accompanied her mother-in-law to cook, that Li Xiuyuan took out the tea set to boil water and make tea, and started chatting with the old man.

In his opinion, if the old man is lonely, it should be because his son was arrested to build the Great Wall, leaving no one at home.

Unexpectedly, the old man shook his head and said: "My two sons were both killed by the Huns. If it hadn't been for the army, we might not have had a peaceful day."

While the two were boiling water and making tea, the old man told Li Xiuyuan about the situation at the border.

Finally, while wiping away tears, he sighed: "Many people died while building the Great Wall, but if we don't build the Great Wall, I am afraid that old guys like us, as well as women and children, will be harmed by the Huns."

The old man was nearly sixty years old. He only had his wife to depend on and no children to take care of him. This made Li Xiuyuan once again see the cruel side of the world.

The last time I was so close to the sufferings of the people was in the school where Wu Xin and Jasmine were in the west of Kangchuan City, the slum where sewage flowed.

The place where Wu Xin started a new life was the first time that Li Xiu Yuan really calmed down and got close to the lowest common people for Wu Xin and Jasmine.

I want to do something meaningful for the children who don't have enough to eat and don't have books to study.

That's where Wu Xin and Jasmine Meng began, and it was also where Li Xiu Yuan's soul transformed.

Thinking of this, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but sigh.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but take a piece of elixir, cut a few slices and threw them into a boiling kettle to cook slowly.

He could not change the Qin Dynasty or the Great Wall, but he could change the physique of the two old men in front of him. At least during their lifetime, they would be less ravaged by wind and rain.

That night, after drinking a pot of spiritual tea, the two old men felt so hot that they wanted to get water from the well to cool down.

After Meng Jiang drank it, he felt very hot. Li Xiuyuan said softly: "A calm heart will naturally cool down. Don't let this pot of elixir be wasted."

That night, the two old men drank a pot of tea brewed with elixir and a bowl of wine, and went to rest early.

Leaving Li Xiuyuan and Meng Jiang behind, Li Xiuyuan moved the table under the jujube tree in the yard and continued to boil water and make tea.

Seeing Meng Jiang's nervous look, Li Xiuyuan smiled and asked, "Are you interested, or do you want to know something?"

Lowering his head, Meng Jiang thought carefully for a long time and said softly: "I want to know...why my strength has become so much stronger since I met my elder brother, and why does the old man get fever after drinking that pot of tea?"

Li Xiuyuan laughed when he heard it and said quietly: "This is a secret. It can also be said to be a door you have never opened. Are you sure you want to go in and take a look?"

Meng Jiang bit his lip and seemed to think about it for a long time before replying: "Then...can you tell me why you can deal with those bandits and killers alone?"

"That's when I chose to step into the door that you don't know right now."

Li Xiuyuan sighed and said leisurely: "Actually, this is not a secret. It's just that it's not easy for you to access."

"I want to know this secret." Meng Jiang replied softly: "I also want to walk through this door and ask my eldest brother to help Meng Jiang."

After Fan Xiliang was arrested by the Yamen, and he went through many hardships of being helpless and helpless along the way, he finally met a magical person like Li Xiuyuan.

From Meng Jiang's point of view, no matter how much hardship she endures, as long as she can walk through this door, she is willing to give it a try.

"Okay." Li Xiuyuan pondered for a while and then said, "I'll tell you how to enter that door when you're done with the Great Wall."

Meng Jiang was overjoyed when he heard this. He pinched the corner of his clothes and asked in disbelief: "Can I do it?"

Li Xiuyuan sighed and poured spiritual tea into their cups.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Before you walk through that door, I want to teach you how to see the world with your heart."

Meng Jiang was stunned when he heard this, and murmured to himself: "I have a pair of eyes, why should I see the world with my heart? Isn't what I see in my eyes the truth?"

"Until then, the first thing you need to know is, don't trust your eyes."

Li Xiuyuan took a sip of the spiritual tea, looked at her and said seriously: "Just like your past experience, just like the suffering you have experienced, just like the lover you lost."

Li Xiuyuan's words made Meng Jiang dumbfounded. He shook his head and shouted softly: "Can it be said that my husband is a fake? The hardships I endured on the road are also fake?"

Sighing, Li Xiuyuan thought for a long time before silently taking out a copper coin, a silver coin, a gold coin, and the teacup in front of him.

Arranging the four items in front of Meng Jiang one by one, Li Xiuyuan cleared his throat.

He said in a deep voice: "Tonight, let me tell you some truth."

"This copper coin is the world of you and Fan Xiliang, as well as the world of the two old people in front of you; this silver coin is the world of Miss Xiangfu."

He paused for a moment and continued: "This gold coin is the world of Emperor Qin, and this tea cup is my world..."
