"It's here!"
In the evening, when Xiangzhou City was once again displayed in front of him, the middle-aged man suddenly had a feeling that things were wrong.
"It seems that things are not as simple as imagined!"
Looking at the city gate in the distance, the middle-aged man squinted his eyes and sighed silently.
In the twilight of the setting sun, his figure looked particularly lonely. From behind, the light reflected from time to time by the faint glow of the sunset pierced the eyes of everyone behind him, making them involuntarily lower their heads.
Seeing this, the person in the crowd seemed to inadvertently glance at the strong man named Yan Sheng at the front.
So in a moment, the strong man quietly stepped forward.
"Uncle Cheng, the city gate is going to be closed, let the brothers enter the city!"
"Yes~" The city gate is closing! He murmured silently, but how many people would not be able to step out of the city again this time? He turned around and slowly glanced at the nearly 100 big men who were following himβthere were only so many left!
Everything else is left somewhere else forever!
They may still have parents, wives, and children waiting for them at home, right?
That's it, that's it! Whether it is successful or not, let them choose after the end!
Whether it's going or staying!
I can't let them and the old man who is half of his foot in the ground give his life for this illusory goal! If His Royal Highness and the eldest brother want to blame in the future, let them blame it!
I'm getting old!
And everyone who was swept by the middle-aged man's gaze almost couldn't help but glance at him and didn't look at him.
"The brothers scattered and entered the city from the four gates! Don't get the attention of the defenders! After entering the city, arrange people to keep an eye on the four city gates, and the target will only be tracked and reported immediately! β
"Yes!"
Everyone bowed their heads and clenched their fists to receive the order, and then spontaneously divided into four teams and entered the city in batches.
And that Yan Sheng, who followed directly behind the middle-aged man, led the way into the city. As for Namachang, he followed another group of men into the city through the other gates.
β¦β¦
At the same time, still in the wild.
People are still the same.
But this time he wasn't alone.
The sky, too, was missing the full moon and was replaced by starry light.
He sat by the campfire, adding firewood from time to time, and on the other side stood alone a young girl.
said that she was a girl, but she was actually only thirteen or fourteen years old, and in the next life, she was just the age of a junior high school student, and now she can marry someone else!
But this girl is different from ordinary aristocratic women.
Because just from the fact that she was standing here and constantly emitting the air of independence from a high place, it gave the teenager an illusion, an illusion of being alone with a modern strong woman.
This is the unique temperament of the empress, right?
The young man reluctantly added a piece of firewood, clapped his hands and stood up.
"I've always had a question!" After all, he was the first to speak.
The girl who turned her back to him, but the corners of her charming mouth were quietly hooked, with a smile like nothing, "Your Highness, please speak!" β
"I'd love to know, what do you want to do about business? I haven't seen you do anything! β
I have to repay Li Shimin when I go back! After all, with so much money spent, if I don't explain to Li Shimin, I am also a little uneasy -- the common problem of feudal rulers is to doubt everything! Even Li Shimin, when it comes to the Li family, is no exception. In particular, their cooperation is based on complete transparency in their actions!
"What's this?" The girl frowned slightly, as if she was puzzled - I saw her muttering, "Why is this problem?" β
"What?" The boy didn't hear her clearly, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
"Nope!" The girl immediately covered up and said, "I said that I have already started to act!" β
"Huh?" This time, it was the turn of the young man to be puzzled - I saw you hanging out with Helan Yueshi all day long in Jingzhou, and now tell me that you have started to act?
"Your Highness has forgotten?" The girl smiled lightly, "You said that there is not only Your Majesty in the capital, but also opportunities!" β
"Starting in the capital?" Wu Zi muttered, and Li Chengdao gradually understood.
"Forget it" Since you leave these to her, let her go" You can make up your own mind about these things, and I am more concerned about another matter! β
"What?" At this point, the glimmer in Wu Zhao's eyes flickered, faintly proud, but he still had a peaceful tone.
"Shun'er said that Yuan Tiangang asked her to hand over the Nine Rings to me, so I'm curious, what did he say to you?"
"This~" The girl's thin lips curled slightly, with a little naughtiness, "Your Highness wants to know?" β
"Hmm!" Li Chengdao sat down at some point, constantly rubbing his head, "I'm curious!" β
"Originally, it was nothing to tell His Highness~" The little girl smiled slyly, "But since Zhao'er is now a businessman......"
"Let's say it straight" Li Chengdao had a little headache, "Directly quote your price, I'll see if I can accept it"
"Your Highness is really straightforward!" Wu Zhao turned around and looked down at him, "Zhao'er's conditions are very simple - my story, change your story?" β
"What's the story?"
There are some things that Li Chengdao can't reveal, but there are some stories that he has.
"What Linchuan hears, what I want!" Wu Zhao put away his smiling face: "But the requirements are suitable for me!" A story just for me! β
"That's it~" Li Chengdao paused, stopped rubbing his head, "Are you for Linchuan?" β
"I ......" was asked why, and the girl was at a loss, because she seemed to have more than one purpose, but it seemed that there was only one purpose.
"Forget it! Linchuan's girl~" Li Chengdao didn't wait for her to speak, and he didn't expect her to answer, "This kind of confrontation is also a way to help her!" β
"After all, I can't stay with her all the time!"
The boy seemed to mumble to himself, but the girl who heard it suddenly had a feeling that there was more to his words than just the superficial meaning, as if they contained an illusion that he was going to be gone.
"As for that story, I'd better wait until I come up with it and tell you!" Li Chengdao continued quickly, but interrupted Wu Zhao's random thoughts, "Forget it, let's write it down and send it to you, so as not to disturb you and Helan Yueshi~"
"Uh-huh!" The girl subconsciously nodded her head, as if she had forgotten what she was going to do, and she didn't even react when she heard his name.
"It's your turn!" Li Chengdao frowned slightly, and reminded her in a slightly accentuated tone, "Can you tell me what Yuan Tiangang is talking about?" β
"Oh!" The girl finally reacted, "Is Yuan Daochang's hexagram~"
"Hmmm! I'm curious what the old man said! β
"Huh!" Although this open-mouthed person has long been accustomed to himself, when he is disrespectful to the half-immortal, he still startled the girl, "Your Highness is cautious!" β
"Nothing!" Li Chengdao waved his hand indifferently, "Since he is known as a half-immortal, then there is no difference between disrespect in my heart and disrespect in my mouth!" So you better get down to business! β
"Oh~" The girl suddenly found that what he said made a lot of sense-for a half-immortal who claimed to know five hundred years before and five hundred years after that, could he still be regarded as what others thought? But in this way, he should know about the performance of being respectful on his face and sneering in his heart?
"Zhao'er!" Although her distracted appearance is also unique, Li Chengdao doesn't want to waste time on this!
"What Daochang Yuan said is very general!" The girl came back to her senses and no longer delayed, and directly said the long-sealed memory in her heart, "He told Zhao'er that Zhao'er has the appearance of an emperor, but the road is slim!" β
"It's all about one person! It's a war between Zhao'er and him! β
As she spoke, the girl lowered her head slightly, and looked directly at him with her shining eyes, "It's not about life!" If I win, the throne of the emperor is at my fingertips, as long as I want, as long as I am willing to give up something! β
"On the contrary, I bear, although I have no worries about my life, but I will always be enslaved by my opponent!"
"Your Highness said, will Zhao'er lose? Or win? β
As she spoke, the girl's star-like eyes stared at the young man's bottomless eyes, waiting for his answer.
"Your eyes are very beautiful~" Li Chengdao, who was staring, suddenly bent his eyes and smiled, "It's like this starry sky~"
The girl was directly stunned, and then turned her face red, not looking at the young man who suddenly had a big jump in thought.
"I don't know if you're winning or losing!" Li Chengdao immediately put away his smile, got up and said softly, "But if it's me, I want to see if I win!" Because there are some things that you have to protect even if you lose your life, don't you? β
Looking at the silent girl, Lee Seung-do did not speak again, but turned to leave.
As he passed by the girl, he turned his head as if he remembered something, "That's right! Why aren't you afraid of me? Obviously, even Shun'er won't stare at me or anything~"
"Afraid?" The girl who was awakened was stunned for a moment, and then chuckled, "Why be afraid?" I'm still a kid, am I? β
"Has it been discovered?" Hearing only that word, Li Chengdao smiled helplessly, shook his head and prepared to walk away.
"But Your Highness, you should pay attention to it in the future! You smell of alcohol! It's going to be suspicious~" The girl was still pinching her slightly wrinkled nose with one hand, and the other hand was constantly stirring up the surroundings.
"It doesn't matter!" The boy didn't stop, waving his hand and muttering, "The wine has become one with me!" I am wine, wine is me; Without wine, I'll die......"
Not far from another bonfire, there was also a couple chatting under the starlight.
"You don't mind?"? Li Ke lay on the grass, his hands under his head and looked up at the starry night sky.
"Why mind?" Another seated teenager smiled lightly, "Is it necessary?" β
"Don't you say that you still don't know Zhao'er's affection?" And Li Ke frowned and turned his head to look at the young man beside him.
"I know~" The boy squinted his eyes, "But for her, I only have the feeling of a sister for the time being~"
"It's not because of the second brother?"
"It's not~" The young man shook his head and denied, "If I feel that way, His Royal Highness the Hidden King will directly help us protect the media, right?" β
"Huh?" Li Ke was confused.
"This is the condition that His Highness promised me for the sake of you and Shun'er~" For some reason, the young man revealed his agreement with him.
Listening to his words, the corners of Li Ke's eyes jumped slightly, and he turned his head to glance at Wu Yuanqing, who was silently adding firewood to the bonfire not far away, and had been paying attention to his sister on the other side, and she was silent with her sister next to her and reading her story to her, and then turned her head to the night sky again.
"Do you feel it, then?" After a long time, Li Ke spoke again.
"Who knows?" The young man muttered, "No one can be sure of this kind of thing~"
Besides, Helan's family is difficult to protect, how can he have time to take care of his children's private affairs......
