Chapter 21: Lychee

The red clothes are enchanting, the dancing posture is fluttering, and the musical instruments and exquisite silk that belong to the Li Kingdom are dazzling to watch.

Wine and food, and a beautiful woman holding a tray with both hands on a delicate fruit with fresh droplets of water still on it.

Some people lifted a large bunch of grapes and swallowed them in their mouths one by one, and some people held the bewitching girl up and down their hands, Li Xiangqing's eyes always fell on the person dancing in the middle, it was a beautiful face, and it looked like a person Li Xiangqing saw in the painting.

The beauty picture made by Xuanzong himself is unfortunately no longer in his hands now.

Lan Xi gently pushed Li Xiangqing, who was distracted next to him, and the latter came back to his senses, stunned, and looked at Lan Xi with doubts on his face.

Lan Xi smiled narrowly, "What? ”

Li Xiangqing smiled helplessly, "No." ”

"Yo, I don't know who it is, my eyes were straight just now. Lan Xi shook her head,

"Since ancient times, heroes have been sad to pass the beauty pass, but I didn't expect it, it turns out that you Li Xiangqing will not be able to escape this catastrophe. ”

As he spoke, he looked at Lingxi behind Li Xiangqing, and his eyes moved back and forth, as if he was hinting at something.

Li Xiangqing bent the corners of his lips and clenched Lingxi's hand, the woman's hand was very soft and cold, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't lift her temperature, just like that cold heart soaked in seawater, the temperature of the sun could not be transmitted there.

"What did Mr. Lee see?" Elizabeth was also a clear stream among the mad crowd, more than Lan Xi had seen.

For example, what she saw Li Xiangqing was not just in a daze at the beauty, but observing.

Everything here seemed to be luxurious and exquisite, but Elizabeth always felt that something was wrong.

How can such a barren island, isolated from the world, have such a fairyland on earth?

Money, beautiful women, delicious wine, dazzling.

Everything that people want in this life is here, and for an ordinary person, this is already Elysium.

Li Xiangqing looked at the woman beside him unexpectedly, "What did Miss Elizabeth find?"

The blonde woman is very good except for a plump figure, smart and smart, kind and brave, such an excellent woman is more suitable for surviving on the sea.

However, turnip greens have their own love, and Lan Xi can't accept it, although it is a pity, but this is not a good thing.

Elizabeth paused and glanced at the maids around her, each of whom would inadvertently meet her gaze, what did this mean?

"There's something weird about this place, the treasure may not be here, these people are probably traps set by hunters. ”

Elizabeth analyzed it seriously, and lowered her voice very low, for fear of alarming those people.

Li Xiangqing nodded and said, "You're right, this is a trap, but it's a dispensable trap." ”

Elizabeth looked at him, her eyes were full of doubts, but this time Li Xiangqing didn't plan to say any more.

Including Elizabeth's father Puluo was also confused by gold and silver, Elizabeth was anxious in her heart, and kept thinking about Li Xiangqing's words, but she never thought of what it meant.

As time passed, the feeling of this place became more and more bizarre, and those people who were born were still as if they didn't feel it, and they still indulged in pleasure.

"Mr. Li, since you know this is a trap, why don't you help everyone get out of here?" Elizabeth was a little anxious and had some difficulty controlling her emotions.

Li Xiangqing was not annoyed, just glanced at Elizabeth, and said gently, "It's not me who can help them, but themselves." Greed, hatred, and obsession, others can't intervene. ”

Elizabeth was angry in her heart, and looked at Lan Xi next to her, but was surprised to find that the young man was unusually quiet, as if she hadn't heard the conversation between the two people.

What does that mean?

Elizabeth's anger turned into doubt, and she could only ponder Li Xiangqing's words, hoping to find something.

Lingxi hooked Li Xiangqing's finger, the latter turned to meet her searching eyes, Li Xiangqing shook his head, and Lingxi seemed to be a little unhappy and turned his head.

In the afterglow of turning around, Li Xiangqing saw that the young man's face was calm, but his eyes were a little solemn.

What Elizabeth discovered, did Lan Xi really not see?

Is it really possible?

The corners of Li Xiangqing's lips raised slightly, in this very real Daming Palace, the sky is not the sky, the earth is not the earth, and everything you see in front of you is not the truth.

Unless you have no desire for this place, and you can go out without coveting those treasures.

However, Li Xiangqing felt that the young man next to him seemed to be not only satisfied with this, but his composure was because he wanted both property and retirement.

But is there really such a thing as the best of both worlds in this world?

In the world, there is a double law, and it lives up to it.

Maybe the original Ming Emperor also thought so, otherwise how could he miss the woman who once made a vow with him so much in the future.

Love itself is a very luxurious thing, and the love of the emperor is even more rare.

"Xiangqing, did you say that this Yang Guifei likes to eat lychees. Lan Xi asked suddenly.

Li Xiangqing nodded and said with a smile, "Could it be that you can still get lychees?"

Suddenly, Lan Xi smiled slyly, and Li Xiangqing, who saw it, was slightly stunned, and then Li Xiangqing saw the front running out, and then walked in with a lychee tree in his hand not long after.

Lan Xi put the lychee tree beside Li Xiangqing, stood up and breathed a long sigh of relief, "But I'm tired, why is this thing so heavy?"

"Because it's a tree. Li Xiangqing said lightly.

Lan Xi pursed his lips, "I didn't know it was a tree yet. ”

"But where did you get this lychee tree?" Li Xiangqing looked at the fresh trunk, and it was obvious that it had just been cut down.

"You're really capable. Li Xiangqing sighed, and suddenly laughed, just with the surprise that this lychee tree brought him, Li Xiangqing suddenly looked at this Lan Xi a little impressed.

Lan Xi raised his eyebrows, "Look at me, Lao Tzu doesn't want to die, even the sky can't take it away, I will take all the money and money today!"

Li Xiangqing smiled, "Need help?"

Lan Xi glanced at Lingxi and Elizabeth, "You just need to protect the two of them, and you will be my trump card at the critical moment." ”

Li Xiangqing chuckled lowly, and Lan Xi had already walked towards the woman in the red dress.

The black hair is like a waterfall, scattered on the woman's shoulders, and swaying with the woman's dancing posture.

The red dress also stretched again and again in the whirling motion, revealing fair skin.

The red petals between the eyebrows quietly bloomed, whether it is the aesthetics of the East or the standards of the West, women are well-deserved beauties.

Lan Xi's hand was on the woman's waist, and the woman's dancing posture also stopped, and for a moment almost everyone looked in the direction of Lan Xi, but the latter turned a blind eye, looked at the woman in his arms, and chuckled, "Miss's dancing is so beautiful, I don't know if I can dance with Miss." ”

The beauty didn't seem to have experienced such a thing, and blinked her eyes suspiciously, and the next moment her body was already controlled by Lan Xi.

Li Xiangqing suddenly felt that the air around him was a little strange, not because of those maids in the Daming Palace, but because of the girls around him.

Lingxi took two steps to the side, trying to dodge Elizabeth next to her.

"What's going on?" Lingxi looked at Li Xiangqing next to him with wide eyes.

Li Xiangqing couldn't cry or laugh a little, so he could only shake his head lightly and signal Lingxi not to ask again.

Fortunately, Lingxi was still smart, and saw what Li Xiangqing meant, so he didn't ask any further, but just moved two steps to the side, it seemed that only in this way could he be more comfortable.

Li Xiangqing glanced at Elizabeth next to him, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, a woman's jealousy is terrifying.

However, speaking of jealousy, Li Xiangqing remembered a person, and she didn't seem to see the word jealousy in her.

Does not being jealous mean that you don't like it that much?

Li Xiangqing couldn't figure it out, and he couldn't guess the woman's mind.

However, Lan Xi seems to be at ease.

Lingxi's ears moved slightly, but the two people next to him didn't see it, but this didn't prevent those voices from coming into his ears.

"You're dancing beautifully, but why are you here? No one can watch it, it's full of loneliness. "It's a man's voice.

"I belong here, I love it and I never want to leave. Many people will find this place, but every time those people will leave without mercy. The loneliness and loneliness is not that no one watches the dance, but that the affectionate heart has nowhere to stay. "It's a woman's voice.

The man continued, "Then to whom do you give your love? and to whom does your heart give?"

The woman's eyes flowed, and the natural charm made Lan Xi lose his mind for a moment, even if he knew that everything in front of him was unreal, but for a moment, he really wanted to stay by this woman's side.

"A man, a man who once made a vow to me to live and die. The woman said with some sadness.

At the moment of self-murder, she also thought about whether everything she had experienced really existed? Is it just a dream of herself, and when she wakes up, everything will return to the eve of her marriage.

At that time, will I change my choice, and I will not go through all this prosperity and pain again.

Lan Xi said softly, his eyes dyed with rare tenderness, "He must have regretted leaving you." ”

The beauty smiled sadly, "Maybe, maybe he has forgotten me a long time ago, only the new person laughs, and the old person never cries." ”

Saying that, the woman's gaze fell on Li Xiangqing's side, "That girl...... I like you, but you don't seem to care about her. ”

A line in his heart was touched, and Lan Xi instantly regained consciousness, everyone else was fine, but that girl was the bottom line that no one could touch.

"There are some things that you don't care about but don't say it, and what you really care about is not for others to see. Lan Xi said lightly.

The woman curled the corners of her lips, "Then what did you bring that lychee tree for?"

Lan Xi's eyes moved slightly, and suddenly stopped, holding the woman's waist and letting her lean on her body, the warm breath sprayed in the woman's ears, Lan Xi said softly, "Some people say that you like to eat lychees, I just sent them for him." He always has you in his heart. ”

As soon as the words fell, the woman's face changed suddenly, and she broke free of Lan Xi's arms, "You're lying! It's been so long, how can he still be alive! You just came here for the treasures here, just like those people, there is no difference at all!"

The woman looked a little hysterical, and the originally gentle and well-behaved maids suddenly changed their faces, and the maids and pirates near the treasure all fainted to the ground, and the atmosphere in the Daming Palace was particularly grim for a while.

Lan Xi looked at the person in front of him very calmly, "He is no longer alive, but he left a letter, which was brought by those Li people." That's why I know your story. The treasure is certainly what I need, but that Li Guoren is my friend, and he has entrusted this matter to me, and I will definitely complete it, no matter what you think. ”

The beauty's eyes were still cold, but only she knew how much had melted under the cold river.

Lan Xi was patient, even though the maids were slowly moving closer to the middle, he still calmly looked at the woman in red in front of him, trying to make her feel his sincerity.

Such an act could be said to be risky, but it was the only way he could think of it.

He is gambling, betting on a woman's love, betting on her obsession, since she chooses to stay here, there must be her purpose and reason.

The woman's face has not changed, and those maids are also approaching step by step, Li Xiangqing frowned, as if he could do it at any time.

Seeing that those maids had already surrounded Lan Xi, even Li Xiangqing could no longer see Lan Xi's shadow.

Elizabeth didn't make a sound, but she also bit her lip tightly, feeling her momentum, Li Xiangqing held Elizabeth's arm in time, and the latter's gaze pierced like a sharp needle.

Li Xiangqing said calmly, "Don't worry, he can do it, it's not irreparable." ”

"Mr. Li, I respect you because you saved Lan Xi's life, but even if he doesn't like me and can't marry me, I can't watch him die in front of me. ”

As she spoke, Elizabeth shook off Li Xiangqing's hand, pulled out the knife on her waist and slashed at the maid opposite.

Lingxi blinked, as if she was frightened, how could a woman who looked very gentle suddenly become murderous?

Li Xiangqing sighed helplessly, "What a good girl, it's a pity." ”

Li Xiangqing still didn't make a move, but Elizabeth's movements didn't change anything, and the maid who was split by her knife recovered as before, and she didn't even change her direction.

Li Xiangqing expected it, but Elizabeth was directly stunned.

"This ...... What the hell is this?" and Elizabeth, no matter how clever she was, was a little too quick to react at the moment.

Suddenly, the maids' movements stopped, and the next moment they collectively disappeared, leaving only the woman in red standing alone in front of Lan Xi, with the corners of her eyes a little moist.
