With the knife on his neck, Li Shui became extra gentle: "Miss Xiangli, if you have something to say, please put the knife down first."

Xianglizhu said: "Tell me first, what do you want to do when you sneak in?"

Li Shui said helplessly: "I'm just worried about your safety. If you suddenly become ill and unable to move in the house, but no one knows about it, wouldn't it be a pity to waste your life?"

Xianglizhu said coldly: "Then you can call me outside, why do you break in without permission?"

Li Shui said with a bitter face: "I called you, but you didn't hear me. Girl, you have been busy digging traps these days and haven't slept much, have you? Did you fall asleep just now?"

Xianglizhu rubbed his eyes and said nothing.

She has been really busy these days. Not only busy, but also tired, because many traps require physical strength.

When he finally finished his work during the day, Xianglizhu couldn't hold on anymore and wanted to take a nap, but he was worried that someone might avoid the trap, so he placed a scarecrow on the low couch. Then he fell asleep with peace of mind.

Already.

She really didn't hear the movement in the yard before.

Seeing her expression gradually softening, Li Shui laughed dryly and said, "Can you put the knife down now?"

Xianglizhu said: "You can put down the sword if you want me to. You can take me to see that expert first."

Li Shui looked helpless: "I told you a long time ago that I am that expert. Why don't you believe it?"

Xiangli Zhu had been sneering. Now that she had Li Shui hostage, she took the opportunity to make some demands.

Li Shui said: "I have a way to prove it."

Xianglizhu asked: "How to prove it?"

Li Shui said: "Don't you have questions to ask that expert? Just ask me directly. I can answer them."

Xianglizhu thought for a while and asked: "The sun rises in the east and sets in the west. Where does it go at night?"

Li Shui said: "The earth under our feet is actually a sphere. We live on the surface of the sphere. Just because the ball is so big, we think it is flat."

"This ball keeps turning in the void. When we see the sun setting, it actually turns to the other side."

"This ball rotates once every twelve hours, so every twelve hours, the sun will appear in the same position."

Xianglizhu looked in disbelief when he heard this: "Is there a ball under our feet? Impossible, impossible. Everyone knows that the sky is round and the earth is like a chessboard, and the sky is like a pottery bowl. The sun, moon and stars are dotted on it...

…”

Li Shui looked at the dagger in her hand and said, "Don't get excited. If you accidentally scratch my neck, I will die. Miss Xiangli, how about you let me go first? I'll give you the details.

explain."

Xianglizhu said: "No, once I let go, you will escape."

Li Shui said helplessly: "Then you tie me to the pillar and don't point the knife at me all the time, okay?"

Xianglizhu thought about it and thought this was a good idea, so he found a hemp rope and tied Li Shui up.

Xianglizhu said: "Tell the truth, there is a ball under your feet, are you lying to me?"

Li Shui said: "I didn't lie to you. I am an immortal, how can I lie to others?"

Xianglizhu sneered, and then asked: "If it were really a ball, would this ball be full of people?"

Li Shui thought for a while and nodded.

Xianglizhu asked again: "You mean, under our feet, on the other side of the ball, there are a group of people living with their heads down? Don't they feel uncomfortable hanging upside down? They won't fall into the air.

Are you going? How do you explain this?"

Li Shui was a little helpless and thought: "Do I still have to explain gravitation to her? If I continue to explain it like this, will it involve centrifugal force, gravitational acceleration, and centripetal force? This is not the content of the nine-year compulsory education. I don't know.

It’s a bit difficult.”

Seeing Li Shui's troubled face, Xiangli Zhu couldn't help but laugh: "Why, have I exposed your lie?"

Li Shui sighed and said: "When I refine the elixir in the future, you can fly up into the void and look down, and you will naturally understand."

The two were arguing when Li Xin came in with a wine jar: "Brother Huai, when are you going to catch the assassin?"

After he said this, he saw Li Shui tied to a pillar and Xiangli Zhu interrogating him.

Li Xin exclaimed: "Isn't Miss Xiangli from Qin? How can she play this kind of Chu game?"

Xiangli Zhu had no intention of actually holding Li Shui hostage, so when he saw Li Xin coming, he let Li Shui go.

Li Shui said to Xiang Lizhu: "For your safety, you have to cooperate with us and do one thing."

Xianglizhu asked in confusion: "What's the matter?"

Li Shui said: "Shangjun's courtyard is not safe enough. Let me find a safe place for you."

…………

Half an hour later, Li Shui and Li Xin set off with Xiangli Zhu. Behind them were fifty elite soldiers disguised as craftsmen.

This group of people looks very strange.

Xiangli Zhunu disguised herself as a man, but wore a pair of embroidered shoes on her feet, which seemed a bit careless.

It was a sunny day, but she wore a hat on her head and covered her face with a black scarf. Anyone with a normal IQ could tell that she was hiding her identity.

But a gust of wind blew her black scarf to the ground. When she bent down to pick it up, the bamboo hat fell to the ground again, exposing her face.

Of course, many people saw this scene.

In addition, there is a man beside Xiangli Zhu. This man has a strong back and a strong look. He looks like a ferocious warrior at first glance. But he is wearing the clothes of a servant. This clothes is put on him, don't mention it.

How awkward it is, anyone can tell that these clothes are borrowed.

This person is Li Xin.

Next to Li Xin, there was Li Shui. Li Shui was dressed normally, but he didn’t know why. Along the way, his death-free gold medal fell off more than a dozen times. The shining gold, in the sun,

It caught the eyes of many people.

The remaining fifty elite soldiers were clearly dressed as craftsmen, but when they were on the road, they always looked around, with alert and fierce expressions on their faces, as if they were on guard against something.

Such a group of strange-looking people quickly attracted the attention of the people around them. However, those people did not dare to look more. They took a quick glance and left with their heads lowered.

Xianglizhu couldn't help but said: "Sir Huai, I always feel that doing this is just to cover up the truth. I'm afraid it won't be long before the Qi and Chu factions know that I left Shangjun Courtyard."

Li Shui said: "Isn't that just right? From now on, Shangjun Courtyard will be safe."

When Xiangli Zhu heard this, he immediately wanted to go back, but Li Shui called to the two aunts, held Xiangli Zhu hostage on the left and right, and walked away without touching the ground.

An hour later, everyone arrived at their destination.

This is a large lake with a small island in the middle. There is also a small boat anchored on the water.

Li Shui pointed to the small island and said, "That's the place I mentioned."

Li Xin squinted his eyes and took a look. There was a large area of ​​houses on the island.

Li Xin said in confusion: "Is there a lake here? I have lived in Xianyang for many years, and I can see all the plants and trees around me. How come I have never heard of such a place?"

Li Shui laughed and said, "I ordered people to dig out this lake."

Li Xin was shocked: "It's such a big deal to dig out a lake. It's a good place. We live in the middle of the lake and there are natural barriers blocking it. It's difficult for assassins to get in."

Li Shuigan smiled and said, "Let's go to the island and take a look."

Li Shui led everyone up to a suspension bridge. The suspension bridge was actually tied up with ropes, and there were some wooden boards in the middle. It was shaky when walking and seemed to overturn at any time. Li Xin was frightened when he walked.

He looked at his feet and saw that the water below was green and oily, covered with algae, and he didn't know how deep it was.

Suddenly, Li Xin stumbled, and the suspension bridge suddenly tilted, causing him to fall down.

Li Xin screamed and struggled hard in the water: "Brother Huai, Brother Huai, I don't know how to swim."

Li Shui said helplessly: "Stand up."

Li Xin shouted in panic: "What?"

Li Shui said: "Stand up."

Li Xin was a little confused, but he stood up tentatively and found that his feet quickly touched the bottom of the lake. After he stood up straight, the water only reached his waist.

Li Xin was a little dumbfounded: "So shallow?"

Li Shui said: "Otherwise? How much will it cost to dig more than ten meters deep? I can't build it like this even if I have money."

Li Xin had no choice but to climb out of the water. Soldiers from behind handed him dry clothes.

Xiangli Zhu said quietly: "Master Huai, are you sure this place can guarantee my safety?"

Li Shui waved his hand: "Don't be impatient for a moment. You can continue reading."

After crossing the suspension bridge, the group arrived at the island.

The island is full of bamboos. After passing through the bamboo forest, there is a bamboo building in the distance. On the bamboo building are written three characters: Xiangliju.

Xianglizhu couldn't help but laugh: "You are quite thoughtful. How many days did you build such a house?"

Li Shui said: "That's natural. Miss Xiangli is a talent. Talents, of course, must be given preferential treatment."

While dealing with Xiangli Bamboo, Li Shui thought: "How long will it take to build a bamboo building?"
