Chen Zimeng and Li Li were walking on the street, and it was a little strange that on both sides of the street, the figures were a little sparse.

Chang'an is prosperous, as we all know, the current Tang Kingdom, the national strength is strong, thriving, the streets of Chang'an look, but it is relatively deserted, which is really strange.

Walking along the street, passing by a lot of restaurants and inns, there are also food stalls, there are not many people, but a path, there are more than 1,000 people, this is compared to the general city, it is indeed very lively, there are countless people coming and going, but this is Chang'an, such a scene should not be.

Glancing at Li Li, who had been staring at him all the way, Chen Zimeng paused, and then asked, "After staring at me for so long, let me ask you a question?"

Li Li nodded, "You say!"

"A few years ago, when I came to Chang'an, on both sides of the street, there were many shops, crowds of people came and went, bustling, far from such a scene, many people have passed on in recent years, the Tang Kingdom has become stronger and stronger, Chang'an is prosperous, and it is unparalleled in the world. ”

Chen Zimeng said slowly, finally stood still, looked at Li Li, and said in a low voice, "Now that the scene is like this, the figures are a little sparse, what is the reason?"

Li Li was curious, "What is it?"

Glancing at Li Li, Chen Zimeng walked into the distance, and looked at the direction, it was going to Datang Academy, Li Li followed, and asked what it was, Chen Zimeng said angrily.

"How do I know?"

Stunned for a moment, Li Li shook his head slightly, only feeling bored in his heart, "This kind of scene should be a collection of major events somewhere in Chang'an, it's not surprising, people who have been in Chang'an know that these are common things." ”

Chen Zimeng sighed for a moment, and said, "I have also stayed for a short time, how can I not know? There is another thing, after entering Chang'an, you don't go back to the palace, what will you do with me?"

Instantly changed his smiling face, Li Li unfolded a folding fan, no longer the previous one, but replaced with a clean white fan.

"If I don't follow you, where will I go to find you when the time comes? Besides, when you come to Chang'an, where can you go? This is my territory, of course I have to entertain you, right?"

Waving his hand, Chen Zimeng quickened his pace, "No, your territory, how easy is it to find someone? If you want to find me, come directly, now go home by yourself, don't bother me." ”

Chen Zimeng originally wanted to go directly to Chen Yao's residence, but he didn't return for a few years, Chen Zimeng didn't dare to be sure where he still lived, but he only determined that Chen Yao was definitely in the academy, so it was absolutely right to go to the academy.

It's the same as the first time I came.

Li Li stopped, looked at Chen Zimeng who was leaving, and waved his hand, "That's okay, I'll look for you when the time comes!"

Chen Zimeng just waved his hand, did not look back, and went straight to the academy along the avenue, to his surprise, Chen Yao was not there, and when he inquired again, he actually left Chang'an, and after several inquiries, he finally determined that the previous residence was no longer inhabited.

Chen Zimeng lost the news of Chen Yao for a while, but fortunately, the master he met before came to him, didn't say anything, and directly handed over a letter.

"Mr. Chen said that you will come back eventually, and when you come back, I will give you this letter. ”

Chen Zimeng took the letter with both hands and bowed, "Master, I wonder when my father left Chang'an?"

"Two years ago!"

"Can you stay where you go?" Chen Zimeng asked again, Chen Yao had been away from Chang'an for two years, counting the time, he was in the Southern Wilderness at that time.

"I don't know, maybe it's mentioned in the letter, you can see for yourself!" the master finished speaking, and finally sighed.

"Since Mr. Chen decided to leave Chang'an, he doesn't know where he went, and there is no news, Zimeng, your father has a concern in his heart, since I knew him, I know that Chang'an can't keep him, and the academy can't keep him, he needs to find an answer. ”

Chen Zimeng was silent in his heart, and finally just spoke, "Father has a knot in his heart, Zimeng knows it, but I can't solve it, and even touch it, I can't do it." ”

The master finally turned around and waved his sleeve, "Forget it, let him go! ”

Chen Zimeng stood at the gate of the academy for a long time, and finally just left Xiao Ran, and the letter in his hand was opened, which was written by Chen Yao himself, with a line of block letters, and the pen was vigorous.

Chen Zimeng looked at it and read it carefully.

"Zimeng, when you read this letter, I have already left, don't come to me, I want to look for what I lost, just like when I lost it, how to lose it, then how to regain it. ”

"The world is natural, the heavens and the earth are vast, and the human heart has thousands of knots. ”

"Originally, I wanted to look at you like this, grow up slowly, marry a wife, and live my life in peace, but goodbye Chang'an, I know in my heart that you have always come to this road. ”

"Ning Qin is very good, don't bear her, if you quarrel in the future, you remember to let her a little, you have to meet someone in your life, it's rare, don't let her be sad." ”

"Zimeng, how much I wish you hadn't become a monk, but how much I hope you would become a powerful monk. ”

"That's it, it's good for you to make your own decisions in life, you've been very assertive since you were a child, so be it all the time!"

The letter is very short, but after Chen Zimeng finished reading it, his heart was full of mixed flavors, the world was vast and vast, and the thousands of knots in people's hearts always made Chen Zimeng sigh in his heart.

Chen Yao's letter was folded neatly, Chen Zimeng put it into the Qiankun bag, and walked out, Chen Zimeng walked on the streets of Chang'an, crossed one bridge after another, walked through many pavilions and pavilions, and finally came to the courtyard where Chen Yao lived before.

The yard was barren, overgrown with weeds, there was no one for a long time, standing on the street and looking at it for a long time, Chen Zimeng Kankan turned around and left, his expression gloomy. Courier

Yuanqiao has a very high reputation in Chang'an, and it is a well-known wine inn, where people come and go every day, rich and expensive, bustling, and walking endlessly.

As soon as Chen Zimeng approached, someone rushed forward, saluted, asked softly, and finally took Chen Zimeng to a room with excellent decoration, excellent location, and considerable wealth.

Chen Zimeng came and sat down, drank the wine sent by the little maid, and did not move at all for a long time.

When the night shrouded Chang'an, the other side of the bustling city was fully presented, Chen Zimeng sat by the window, the room was facing the river, several boats were swimming, the lights on the boat were bright, there were beautiful women dancing, laughter came, Chen Zimeng stared at it.

The dancers on the ship danced with all kinds of music, and there were also beautiful women singing tactfully, and the singing came, which made people feel calm, and there were also many pan-study scholars and scholars on the front deck of the ship, and many scholars and talented people took advantage of the scenery to express themselves lightly, and they recited poems and songs loudly with wine.

Looking down, the figures on a street are slow, walking with each other are crowded, and the business travelers have temporarily rented a shop, selling goods in the bustling area of Chang'an, and there are also hawkers walking crowds, shouting and selling.

Some people wearing silk and crowned hats walked to the river, a boat docked, everyone boarded, and in the night, there was another boatload of pleasure seekers, and there was also a lot of laughter.

But Chen Zimeng just drank wine, his eyes looked into the distance, where there were countless pavilions and pavilions Under the night, occasionally there was the sound of drums, empty and far away, and he also saw some chivalrous people, holding swords, walking in the crowd, with no smile on his face, but in fact, he was extremely envious of the prosperity around him.

A paper crane flapped its wings in the wind, and behind it was a circle of light blue light, Chen Zimeng reached out to take it, it was a letter, unfolding the paper crane, and the content on it was only three words.

"Come to Huaifu!"

With a flick of his fingers, the paper scroll in his hand turned into flames, and when he raised his hand, there was no wine in the sword raiser, and he didn't feel that he was feeling in his heart, Chen Zimeng shook his wrist lightly, and then his figure disappeared, and he didn't know where to go.

In the palace, in a solemn hall, the Tang Emperor sat quietly on the top, Li Liduan sat aside, holding three bamboo slips in his hand, his face was indifferent, between the two, there was silence, and after a long time, the Tang Emperor spoke quietly.

"You don't care about it. ”

"I can't leave it alone. Glancing at Emperor Tang, Li Li got up and walked outside, and the words came.

"What do you want to do, I don't care, your plan, big or small, that's your business, poor young innocent, in between, why did she need to make such a sacrifice?"

Stepping out of the palace gate, Li Li stopped and looked at a person who was looking for the steps up, gorgeously dressed and happy, but after seeing Li Li, he paused, stopped and looked at Li Li quietly, his expression changed to speculation.

And Li Li just smiled coldly, and then drank it.

"Some people, born as a slave, will be a slave for the rest of their lives, if they want to turn over and be the master, they must stretch their necks to see if they are hard enough!"

Li Fu stood at the foot of the steps, his heart was extremely aggrieved, he was a prince anyway, even if his talent was not good, his talent was not superior, and he was not even average, he was not as good as Li Li, but how could he become a slave?

Li Li's speed did not decrease, and he strode away when he took a step, passing by Li Fu, Li Fu reached out and grabbed him, but Li Li instantly shook it off.

"Presumptuous!"

In the face of Li Li's angry shouting, Li Fu suddenly seemed very calm, "I am a prince, not a slave." ”

"What about me?" Li Li said coldly.

Li Fu was stunned, Li Li strode away, and for a long time, Tang Huang stood in front of Li Fu, and Li Fu still didn't realize it.

"What happened back then, Li'er still can't let go, don't blame him, people's hearts are knotted, let him go by himself!"

Listening to Emperor Tang's words, Li Fu finally just bowed and saluted, and when he came, he forgot what the purpose was, turned around and left, his back was gloomy.

Chen Zimeng came to the gate of the Huai Wang's Mansion, the dignity of the Huai Wang, led to the avenue in front of the door, several miles of vertical and horizontal, sparse people, come here, either rich or expensive, can enter, very few.

But Chen Zimeng went in very smoothly, because at the gate, a man in black was waiting quietly, and as soon as Chen Zimeng came, he took him straight in.

After turning a few corridors, it was still the courtyard, Lian Qing sat in the hall, very excited, Chen Zimeng just arrived, and pounced, his eyes were full of brilliance.

"Brother Meng, long time no see?"

"I haven't seen you for a long time, is it okay?" Chen Zimeng nodded and smiled, then turned his head to look at Li Li on the side, "We only separated in the morning, and they called me in the evening, what happened?"

"What else, Brother Zimeng, you came to Chang'an, didn't you come to me?" Before Li Li could speak, Lian Qing complained about Chen Zimeng on the side, his face full of grievances.

"Seventh Brother told me that you are coming, how can I wait any longer, it is my idea to let you come to Huai Wangfu. ”

Chen Zimeng smiled at Lian Qing, "You're not in such a hurry, isn't this seeing me?"

Pursed her mouth, Lian Qing was dissatisfied, "Why aren't you in a hurry?" A few years ago, you came here, and before I could say anything, you left, and returned the jade pendant I gave you. ”

Huan Hand hugged Chen Zimeng's left hand, Lian Qing's face was serious, and his words were coquettish, "I don't care, I heard Seventh Brother say, you are going to Tianhehai, can you take me away?"

"I haven't asked you about this yet, I heard that you were forced by your master to be a two-day monk?" Chen Zimeng said slowly.

Covering his mouth and just laughing, he was very happy to be unprecedented, Li Li saw that he finally had the opportunity to interject, and he hurriedly shouted at Chen Zimeng.

"This girl's coaxing ......"
