Chapter 41: The Phoenix Who Died Young

The autumn rain has stopped, the autumn wind has stopped the pace, confused and don't know where to go, and the weather is a little colder. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoLuoyang Imperial Capital, the prosperity of the past is gradually restored, the traffic is busy, the sound of selling is gradually rising, and the noise occupies the entire street.

Li Xing followed He Jiao, and Sanqi followed behind Li Xing, and at this time, the black light gauze cloak made the two women tight.

After passing through the streets and alleys, turning around, walking for most of the hour, I arrived at the southernmost water port of Luoyang City.

"Can't we take care of a carriage, we have to use it." After walking for so long, Li Xing was a little tired.

"Not enough money!" He Jiao turned around, the wind god was still the same, but what he said was very real.

"You just have a hundred-year-old blood lingzhi in your hand, how can you not have enough money!" Sanqi said something fair.

"You two ungrateful guys, who ordered so much food in the Forgotten Mansion just now?" He Jiao asked rhetorically, isn't it just the two of them just now, how much is it, but it turned out to be a lot of waste, and when he paid the bill, he was so distressed!

"Besides, you eat so much, you have to digest it well!" He Jiao did not forget to add.

Sanqi was under the cloak and stuck out his tongue, as if he had learned from his sister since he followed him, and he was very good at eating. In my sister's words, it's a full foodie.

Li Xing was noncommittal, and lightly exposed the topic: "Where are we going?" ”

"Go home!" He Jiao said, and beckoned in the direction of the port.

There are ports in the west and south of Luoyang, and the waterways extend in all directions. The port in the west of the city docks goods, while the south of the city is mostly for passengers, and the port is guarded by special sailors. At this time, the three of them were located in the port south of the city. The harbor is spacious, with countless docks, large and small, ranging from luxurious official ships to simple merchant ships, specially designed to carry passengers.

"Mr. He!" Seeing He Jiao beckoning, the bearded man stepped forward, as if he knew He Jiao, and did not forget to bow his hand respectfully.

"Isn't this and this, not the boss of the ship?" Sanqi covered his mouth, and his expression of amazement was hidden in the cloak.

Li Xing was calmer, thinking that it was outrageous, and pulled He Jiao's sleeve, saying that he would settle the account later.

He Jiao ignored Li Xing, waved Li Xing's hand away with skill, stepped forward and said, "Qin Da, how are you doing?" ”

"Okay, since Mr. He gave me the idea last time, everything has been fine." Qin Da laughed brightly, his beard followed his facial expression, trembling and trembling.

"That's good, that's good!" He Jiao laughed.

"Mr. He, where are you going? Qin Da and I are about to go back to Hengshui this time, if I stop by, I will follow Qin Da! ”

"Coincidentally, the three of us are going to Heng County!" He Jiao clapped his hands, it seemed to be really a coincidence.

As he spoke, the three of them followed Qin Da to his boat.

Qinda's ship has two floors on the water, and there is a dark cabin underwater, which is not large, but among the passenger ships, it can be regarded as medium-sized. Ships on the river can be purchased by passing through the port, so the cargo hold on the ship is not large. The interior of the boat is simple, but it has everything, and it is equipped with a small kitchen.

At this time, the three of them followed Qin Da to the boat, and Li Xing said: "Qin Da, this water surface is about to freeze, and the risk is not small all the way." ”

Qin Da turned around and said with a sneer: "The girl is indeed right, it is cold this day, the river is frozen, and the boat is indeed not easy to walk." Originally, I really didn't plan to make this trip, but I can't, my boss still has an important errand, and I have been asked to do it well, so I have to make a trip. However, thanks to Mr. He's method, he was able to go all the way. ”

Li Xing nodded, took off his black cloak, pouted at He Jiao, and then entered the cabin.

That Qin Da only felt that the person in front of him was very familiar, but he couldn't say why, after greeting the three of them, he said that he would leave the boat tomorrow, and went straight to his own business.

"Sister, won't the ship forget us?" Sanqi also took off his cloak, but his face was full of doubts.

"You forget, we were men's at the time, and we didn't recognize it." Li Xing took the opportunity to knock on Sanqi's head.

Seeing the situation, Sanqi hurriedly hid behind He Jiao, and did not forget to mutter: "If you knock too much, you will become stupid!" ”

He Jiao was very cooperative, and he didn't know where he came from, a folding fan blocked Li Xing's hand: "Sanqi is so obedient, you are willing to do it!" ”

Li Xing sneered and withdrew his hand: "It's like I'm bullying her, really!" ”

After a brief packing of their bags, the three of them settled down on the ship.

On the second day, the cold wind became even more bitter, blowing the wooden boat like a tumbler, swaying left and right, but still standing.

The three of them rested in the cabin last night, fluttering and swaying, a little like sleeping in a cradle, dreamless and very sweet.

Li Xing yawned and got up the earliest. Stand above deck and meditate. Coming here for nearly half a year, bit by bit, twists and turns, just like the waves on the surface of the river blown by the wind, it seems to be bland, but in fact the waves are undercurrent.

"Actually, you should understand the truth that if you fall in, you can't get out." The hoarse voice sounded behind itself, it was He Jiao, and the expression on his face was solemn at this time, without any of the unruliness of the past.

Li Xing turned around, but he didn't know what it was like in his heart, he opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything for a long time.

"It's like the river in front of you, it seems to go all the way, but you can't escape the established fate, and it will eventually flow into the sea." He Jiao stared at the river in front of him.

The wooden boat struggled, trying to run with the river, but was pulled by the reins of the port, and could not open its eyes and escape.

"Yes...... That's not what I wanted. After a while, Li Xing finally spoke. All she wants is a simple life, a free life without calculations and scheming.

"Do you remember what your aunt said to you?"

"Remember," Li Xing looked up, but for some reason, tears couldn't stop falling.

He Jiao felt a trace of distress in his heart, and wanted to wipe away the tears of the person in front of him, but his hand stopped in mid-air, and then fell again. That's it, you should go your own way, and you should wipe your own tears.

"Guzu said: 'If you come, you will be safe'. You are Li Xing, but you are also Lin Qing. ”

Li Xing nodded, then shook his head again, tears snapped, and fell even more fiercely.

"About two hundred years ago, Yingzheng unified the six countries, and he was a wise emperor through the ages. However, two years after becoming emperor, he began to act perversely, and finally led to the death of Qin II. He Jiao closed his eyes and talked about two hundred years of old things.

Li Xing raised his head, his eyes full of tears had doubts, and he didn't know why He Jiao talked about the two hundred years old.

"Do you know that Lin Qing died that year."

"You mean, because of Lin Qing's death, Yingzheng's temperament will change greatly." Li Xing's eyes were red, but he gradually stopped his tears.

"Lin Qing's life is peculiar, he is a phoenix who died early, he can obviously get the most noble in the world, but he has a thin life." When He Jiao said this, his eyes were radiant, with the wisdom to see through everything.

"And you, who inherited this, are destined to be constantly involved with the emperor's family, maybe ......"
