67.Chapter 67

After a short silence for "......", Song Shidao and Li Shimin were still looking at each other, but Ling Chusi next to him opened his eyes slightly and looked at Li Shimin with some shock.

Ling Chusi: =mouth=!!

She actually met Tang Taizong! Li Shimin! Alive!

Ling Chusi made up her mind to come to Luoyang City this time, although she walked with Song Valve's Song Shidao all the way, but in her heart, she actually had a plan to visit Li Valu in Longxi.

Although separated by more than 100 years, the Li valve in Longxi is, after all, the later Li Tang royal family. Ling Chusi had long known about the rise and fall of the Sui Dynasty from the history books, but if it was a sense of intimacy and belonging, of course, it was more important for the original Tang Dynasty that she had grown up to such a big day.

Song Shidao and Li Shimin, respectively, were born in the Lingnan Song Valve and Longxi Li Valve, which are among the four major valves, if you discuss it in detail, Song Shidao's status as the only son of Song is higher than that of Li Shimin, who is only the second son of Li Yuan. It's just that Song Shidao's character is naturally generous and generous, and he has always looked like an elegant and gentle humble son, in comparison, Li Shimin, who has a cold expression and outstanding demeanor, looks more like he is imposing because of his authority!

While these two young talents who were also from the same family were still fighting each other, Ling Chusi, who had finally recovered from the fact that he had just seen the living Li Shimin, was in deep thought, carefully recalling the words that Li Shimin, who had just come to himself instead of Song Shidao.

What is called "You have forgotten me, but I have always remembered", has she ever crossed paths with Li Shimin before?

Ling Chusi was still pondering this matter, and the expression on his face naturally revealed a little.

Li Shimin, who finally glanced at Ling Chusi slightly from the calm confrontation with Song Shidao, took all the expressions on her face into his eyes, saw her blank look, and smiled slightly bitterly, there was an indescribable melancholy in his voice, and sighed with resentment: "You really don't remember......

"......" Ling Chusi was choked up by his attitude, and asked with kind words: "...... I don't remember, can you remind me? โ€

Li Shimin looked at her for a while, and finally said faintly: "A few years ago, outside Taiyuan City...... You were riding one of those horses......"

Ling Chusi was slightly stunned, and suddenly remembered that he had indeed met a young boy from a family when he was passing through Taiyuan, and his eyes widened in astonishment.

"It's you!?" Ling Chusi subconsciously spoke, unable to hide his shock.

Li Shimin nodded, "It's my ......" paused, he was still continuing to use that faint tone, half complaining and half helpless sighing, and said: "At that time, I obviously said that we would play together...... The next day, I waited for you outside Taiyuan City for a whole day......"

"......" Ling Chusi's expression was silent, but he was secretly slandering in his heart, who told you!

Song Shidao, who had been listening to the conversation between Ling Chusi and Li Shimin on the side, also showed a look of surprise and astonishment, but first, he was amazed that these two people knew each other in their early years, and second, he was surprised at what the relationship between Li Shimin and Ling Chusi was in their early years!

Song Shidao looked at Ling Chusi and Li Shimin without blinking, feeling his gaze, Ling Chusi raised his eyes and glanced at him, but Li Shimin ignored it.

However, in his mouth, Ling Chusi explained very calmly: "I had something important to do at the time. โ€

Moreover, after Li Shimin mentioned that he had passed through Taiyuan City, because of Ji Xiaobai's matter, Ling Chusi, who had been in a low mood and low spirits for the past few days, suddenly thought that he went to Luoyang with Song Shidao from Cangwu County, and he didn't bother to say hello to the medical saint Sun Simiao's grandfather......

Thinking of this, Ling Chusi directly began to ponder, at this time, in Luoyang, where all forces gathered, there would definitely be people among the Dugu Valves.

Moreover, the Lingnan Song valve came from the young master Song Shidao, and the Longxi Li valve came from Li Yuan's second son Li Shimin, and the other two of the four major valves, Ling Chusi has not yet met, but, if it is not surprising, among the Dugu valve and Yuwen valve, the people who appear in Luoyang will also be the leaders of the younger generation in the family.

In this way, if Dugufeng came to Luoyang in person on behalf of Dugufeng, he could go directly to her and ask her to help bring a message back to Grandpa Sun when she went back......

Because he hadn't completely figured out the relationship between Ling Chusi and Lingnan Song Valve and Song Shidao, now, in front of Song Shidao, Li Shimin didn't immediately mention that Ling Chusi was going to the Turks at that time, but just smiled casually, and then said with a slight straight face: "It's just a matter of the past, today, you can't ignore me anymore!" Luoyang water seat is famous all over the world, I invite you to dinner. After a subtle pause, Li Shimin turned to Master Song with great interest, "Do you want Song Shizi to come with you?" โ€

"Li Gongzi warmly invited, and the teacher naturally didn't dare to refuse." Song Shidao also laughed, and after seeing Li Shimin's slightly raised eyebrows with some displeasure because of this, he naturally refused to miss it even more.

Ling Chusi looked at Song Shidao, and then at Li Shimin, without thinking about it, he knew that the atmosphere between the two was strange. However, since the two of them were willing to continue to struggle and toss, of course she had nothing to mind, so the group of three went to the restaurant that Li Shimin said.

Although Luoyang City is vast and prosperous, there are only three or two of the most famous restaurants in the city.

Among them, the one that is famous for making Luoyang water mats is still the same one back then.

Ling Chusi, Song Shidao and Li Shimin rode their horses all the way into the city, and only dismounted after arriving in front of the restaurant. The little guy running in the restaurant immediately greeted him with a smile and led the three horses that he knew were extraordinary at a glance to the stable in the back.

Ling Chusi originally had some humble intentions, and planned to wait for Li Shimin, who proposed to invite someone to dinner, to walk in front.

As a result, because Song Shidao directly and intentionally stood with Ling Chusi, and even whispered to her about the Luoyang affairs in a few words, Li Shimin, who was still moving forward in a hurry, directly suppressed his steps and stood firmly on the other side of Ling Chusi's side.

So much so that when Ling Chusi was still standing there and didn't move, Song Shidao and Li Shimin stood next to Ling Chusi as if no one was around, which caused the pedestrians in the restaurant and outside who knew at a glance that they were definitely not ordinary people in the local area.

"............" Ling Chusi was slightly stunned, and then reacted, are these two actually competing with themselves!?

Ling Chusi, who couldn't cry or laugh, didn't waste time, since the two of them put on a posture of entering and exiting with him, Ling Chusi simply entered the restaurant, and then asked directly without turning his head sideways: "Shall we go upstairs to the private room or directly in the lobby downstairs?" โ€

The little guy who was eagerly guiding the three of them just now also stood still, waiting for Ling Chusi and the three of them to make a decision.

I don't know what Li Shimin and Song Shidao think, after they both glanced at each other, in the restaurant, they didn't ask for a private room, but deliberately sat in the lobby outside, and directly ordered a table of Luoyang water seats.

Seeing this, Ling Chusi raised his eyebrows slightly, and sat down at the table that had just been cleaned up in the lobby.

However, at this time, Ling Chusi didn't care about these things that didn't matter to her at all, her expression was a little faint, but she couldn't help but remember the last time she ate Luoyang water mat here.

At that time, the relationship between her and Ji Xiaobai was just from strangers who had already met to gradually become closer. The scene at that time is still vivid, but it has long been a matter of fact......

Ling Chusi still remembered that Ji Xiaobai was also in this restaurant, and while introducing the dishes on the table to her, he also told her that he could go to see the peony party in Luoyang until April and May......

Speaking of which, this year's peony festival was also missed.

Ling Chusi's expression was slightly tired.

Li Shimin and Song Shidao saw it in their eyes, although they were puzzled, but they also temporarily put away the-for-tat words and actions on the surface, in addition to secretly rubbing each other's two sentences, if an unknown outsider saw it, I am afraid that the two people who are so familiar and lively are like old friends!

At the same time, in the private room on the second floor of the restaurant, you can see the lobby on the first floor through a window.

Ji Xiaobai still looked sickly, holding a handkerchief in his hand, his eyes were slightly gloomy, delicate and graceful, clear as his facial features had no expression, his face was as pale as paper, and his lips were so thin that he wanted to be transparent, as if he could spit out a mouthful of blood at any time.

So much so that even Uncle He couldn't tell whether Ji Xiaobai was really seriously injured and became like this, or because he was immersed in despair and sadness, he tortured himself into this miserable and miserable appearance.

Ji Xiaobai's eyes stared at Li Shimin and Song Shidao motionlessly, and for a long time, he finally reluctantly withdrew his gaze from Ling Chusi, who was sitting between the two of them, completely ignoring how weird and tense the atmosphere around him was, and only focused on eating.

Immediately, under Uncle He's worried gaze, Ji Xiaobai covered his lips and coughed lowly twice, waved his hand to indicate that he was fine, and then said softly to Uncle He: "I heard that the heir of Cihang Jingzhai's generation came out to walk the rivers and lakes, and once had a relationship with Li Shimin of Longxi Li Valve?" โ€

After speaking, without waiting for Uncle He's reaction, Ji Xiaobai continued in a low voice with his eyes slightly drooping: "You let people go and show the way to that concubine of Cihang Jingzhai, and reveal to her the news that Li Shimin and Song Shidao were talking happily together, and if it is convenient, bring people over directly!" โ€

Ji Xiaobai said it so clearly, Uncle He naturally guessed that he saw Li Shimin and Song Shidao both surrounding Miss Ling, so he moved this idea.

After all, the evil relationship between Cihang Jingzhai and Ling Chusi was only a few days ago, and now that the two sides meet, they will naturally not be light. And Li Shimin will be caught between Concubine Xuan and Ling Chusi because of this, if he can't make a decision to favor one side immediately, he will inevitably be in a hurry for this, and the wolf will be unbearable......

In addition, whether it is Ling Chusi or Cihang Jingzhai's concubine Xuan, these two women are not good characters, even if Li Shimin stands on one side, it is estimated that the other person will not give up lightly.

As for Master Song, there was no surprise in his choice, he would definitely be biased towards Ling Chusi, Ji Xiaobai just regretted that he couldn't get rid of him today.

After all, Song Que has been haunted for a long time for a relationship between the owner of the Song valve "Heavenly Knife" and Cihang Jingzhai Fan Qinghui, and to this day, Cihang Jingzhai can still have such a great influence on the Song valve, which is also for this reason. In contrast, Song Que has been stumbling until the year after the establishment, and the lady who just married the lady of the main room, there have always been rumors of ugly-looking saltless women in the rivers and lakes, not to mention, even in the Song family mountain city of the Song Dynasty in Lingnan, it seems that she has lived as a transparent person.

And Song Shidao, as the only son of that lady, even if he has not expressed any rejection attitude towards Cihang Jingzhai because of Song Que, but in front of him, as well as Song Zhi and others, it is impossible for Cihang Jingzhai to get the general preferential treatment of Song Que!

Uncle He glanced at Ling Chusi in the lobby on the first floor with complex and subtle eyes, and as a result, in the next moment, Ling Chusi suddenly raised his head and swept back, startling Ji Xiao Bai Dengshi lowered his head and lowered his eyes to avoid his face, even Uncle He was so frightened that he looked up and looked out the window, as if he had been looking at the pedestrians outside just now.

Ling Chusi immediately retracted his gaze.

Seeing her puzzled expression, Song Shidao and Li Shimin asked almost in unison.

"Miss Ling?" Song Shidao was still polite in his words.

"Chu Si?" Li Shimin relied on the fact that he had known Ling Chusi since he was a child, and after asking the name of the person, he pretended that the two had a good relationship and had been friends for many years, and directly called his name.

"It seems that someone is staring at this side just now......" Ling Chusi replied softly, and as he spoke, he raised his head again and scanned it carefully, but after still finding nothing, he withdrew his gaze a little depressed.

Uncle He, who was staring intently at the situation on the street outside the inn, only felt that his neck was a little sore.

Ji Xiaobai was hidden behind the curtain in the semi-elegant room, and his heart was full of unspeakable pain, helplessness and sadness.

When Song Shidao heard this, he only thought that other guests had inadvertently glanced at it a few times, but Ling Chusi felt more keenly, so he noticed it.

However, when it was the turn of Li Shimin, who was suspicious by nature, although he was silent on his face, Ling Chusi's suspicion immediately turned in his heart, and he had secretly made up his mind, and when he turned around, he asked his subordinates to come here to inquire with the owner of the restaurant.

At this moment, a handsome and elegant young man walked in with a melancholy expression, as if struck by lightning.

Ling Chusi glanced at it subconsciously, he didn't take it too seriously, but he secretly slandered in his heart, today's guests in this restaurant can be regarded as coming, being a Li Shimin and another Song Shidao, and at this time there is another young man who doesn't know him, but he can definitely be called the best among people.

The young man subconsciously raised his head and glanced around the restaurant, and was about to find a seat to drink a pot of wine and get drunk, but suddenly his eyes stared at Ling Chusi and their table with some dazedness.

Ling Chusi was slightly surprised and blinked.

The young man looked at Shang Ling Chusi's undisguised curiosity, and he was also a little embarrassed for a while.

Li Shimin and Song Shidao, who had been fighting each other for tat, finally pulled out of each other's state of sneering at each other at this time, and the two of them naturally noticed that Ling Chusi's attention was elsewhere, and when they looked at her, they suddenly met the sight of the handsome and dashing young man just now.

Immediately, between Li Shimin and Song Shidao, there was another burst of unanimous voices.

"Brother Xu?" Li Shimin showed a surprised expression, but his sharp eyes, which seemed to be able to penetrate a qiฤ“, still fell on the young man's body.

"Brother Ziling?" Song Shidao's voice was much more relaxed and pleasantly surprised, "Just yourself?" Why don't you see your middle brother? โ€

"............" Ling Chusi's eyes glanced at Li Shimin and Song Shidao subtly, and then he looked at Xu Ziling again, looked at him carefully for a while, and after Xu Ziling was stared at with a slightly embarrassed expression, he finally smiled slightly, and his voice seemed to contain a different meaning, and he said briskly word by word: "Xu, Zi, Ling!" โ€

Li Shimin and Song Shidao were slightly stunned at the same time, "You know?" โ€

Ling Chusi bowed slightly, but did not answer immediately.

It was Xu Ziling, who stared at Ling Chusi in some surprise and stunned, and when his gaze fell on the Snow Phoenix Ice King Flute in Ling Chusi's hand, he suddenly realized that he had a look of surprise on his face, and walked straight to this side two steps, and then said excitedly: "You are the little lady back then, Sister!" โ€

Xu Ziling almost blurted out that it was originally the "little miss" who was a little ridiculous with Kou Zhong back then, however, at Ling Chusi's smiling face, thinking of the silver taels she left at the beginning, and in the end, she was still sitting between Li Shimin and Song Shidao, so Xu Ziling stubbornly turned the "little miss" into a "little sister" that sounded quite kind......

In the attic upstairs, Uncle He, who had just passed the order, watched worriedly as the pavilion master of his house crushed a teacup with an expressionless face - the four teacups that were originally on the table, except for the one who poured hot tea in front of him, only the last one that was still on the table was left.

"Xu Ziling......" Ji Xiaobai muttered softly, "What kind of Yangzhou Shuanglong just came out recently?" โ€

Uncle He nodded yes, cautiously looked at Ji Xiaobai's face, and made sure that although he was pale and seemed to be quite fragile, at least he would not faint lightly, Fang Cai breathed a sigh of relief, and explained more: "Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, these two young people call themselves Yangzhou Shuanglong, the two of them seem to have been together all along, some time ago, they were wandering between the various forces in the rivers and lakes, but they were quite famous for a while, I remember that the two of them still had the 'Pushan Public Order' on their heads...... โ€

Ji Xiaobai pondered for a moment, and muttered softly: "I remember that Ah Ling has indeed been to Yangzhou a few times, maybe he knew him when he was a child......"

Listening to him talking to himself here, Uncle He could only twitch the corners of his mouth, shook his head distressed and helplessly, and silently slandered beside him, he knew today, why bother in the first place?

Ji Xiaobai was still seeing a person here, and he began to struggle with gains and losses, and at the same time, he was determined and efficient, thinking about how to pit Li Shimin and Song Shidao, let them all stop, and don't always revolve around Ah Ling.

In the lobby on the first floor, it was found that Xu Ziling was still looking at each other with Li Shimin and Song Shidao, who were known to the three people at the table on his side, Ling Chusi was very indifferent, and after looking at each other for a moment, Li Shimin, the owner of today's dinner, warmly greeted Xu Ziling and sat down with him.

"I just saw that your face was a little wrong, are you in a bad mood?" Ling Chusi also held a small cup of fresh soup with a clear color and an extremely long and fragrant taste, and casually pulled a pair of chopsticks from the bamboo tube on the table and handed it to Xu Zilingdao.

Xu Ziling's lips trembled slightly, remembering that Liu Heimin had just told him, his righteous sister Fang Susu and Xiang Yushan had already cooked rice, and the two of them even had a child, at this time, even if he went to kill Xiang Yushan again, it would be useless to Su Su, so he couldn't help but feel sad, because of the anger and grief he forced, the fingers holding the chopsticks were a little trembling slightly.

Xu saw his old acquaintances when he was a child, Xu Ziling, who never liked the things in the cup, drank a glass of wine, and only then did he intermittently tell what happened to Fang Susu through the upsurge of wine.

When he was in trouble, Fang Susu liked Li Jing, Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong also watched Li Jing escort Fang Susu away, thinking that the two of them would get along day and night along the way, and they could always achieve a pair of good things, but the flowers were ruthless, Li Jing's heart was only a red breeze girl, and after sending Fang Susu back to Wagangzhai, he left by himself. And Fang Susu, who stayed in Wagangzhai, was first โ–กโ–ก by Wang Bo, and later married Xiang Yushan, a villain who wanted to control Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, so he had been deceiving Su Su's feelings with rhetoric......

When Xu Ziling's words fell, he even wiped his eyes with his sleeve quickly by bowing his head and drinking.

Li Shimin and Song Shidao listened, and they didn't know what to do.

All the misfortunes that Fang Susu encountered seemed to be caused by coincidence. Shuanglong let Su Su leave at the beginning, but she also looked at her favorite Li Jing, but Li Jing was a hard stone that couldn't be hot, and she left by herself after sending people back. Fang Susu's tragic experience all came from this, but Li Jing never made any promises, and now Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong, who can only cry without tears, can only scold Li Jing in their hearts for a few words of indifference and empathy, but they can't accuse Li Jing in person......

Xu Ziling took another sip of wine, Song Shidao and Li Shimin saw this, and they could only comfort him with a few words in their own pale words, but Ling Chusi, after listening to it for a long time, finally came back to his senses, and asked puzzledly: "You mean, your sister Fang Susu has married the villain Xiangyushan and has also given birth to a child?" โ€

Xu Ziling's mind was still a little in a trance, "Yes, my little nephew's name is Fang Lingzhong......" Speaking of this name, Xu Ziling's tears almost couldn't help falling out.

Ling Chusi heard it in disbelief and said: "Since that Xiangyushan is a scumbag, your sister also recognizes this clearly, even the child is Fang with her surname, what do you say is useless, and you can't go back to the sky?" โ€

After a pause, Ling Chusi wrinkled his eyebrows slightly, and said quite bluntly: "Aren't people okay?" It's okay to reconcile, if you are really angry, you can kill that scumbag, and take Fang Susu out directly, can't you and Kou Zhong still be able to support your righteous sister and nephew? โ€
