"Next, it's time to go back to the city!"

Standing on a slightly raised dirt slope, he looked out at the palm-sized city at the end of his vision. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The timing was just right, and they would return to the city around noon, enter the cage and continue their lives alone.

Perhaps the ruler was furious about their disappearance, perhaps an urgent search was being carried out in that city, perhaps there were people in the courtyard who cursed them in the hope that they would never return; But there were people waiting for them to go back, and there were reasons why they had to go back.

It is precisely because they are not a single being that they cannot attain true absolute freedom.

This point was once deeply engraved into his bones by his parents, and it was hardened by others; He used to think he had forgotten, but memory was never his most loyal companion, and it would play a joke on him like a naughty child when he wanted to escape.

So he finally remembered that he had been a single existence for a while, so he was absolutely free.

So he finally remembered that his later self had already been restrained again, and unconsciously, he was no longer a single existence.

It was too warm, so he subconsciously looked for that familiar environment; But they forget that the world has changed.

The comfortable past made him forget the loneliness he once had.

So that's a punishment, right?

Tightening the slightly cool little hand that had quietly retracted into his palm, he finally took the first step, the first step back into the cage.

I have to go back anyway!

Holding the little girl who had never said a word but followed him firmly step by step, he set off on his way back......

Chang'an City has long been blocked.

And he and she also arrived outside Chang'an City in the middle of the afternoon.

"Is Chuan'er tired?" Standing a few feet away, he raised his head and looked at the vaguely recognizable words on the gate of Chang'an, but he asked irrelevant questions in his mouth.

As if he wanted to maintain the indifference of Tarzan collapsing in front of him, his voice was as flat as ever; However, the sweat on his head and the dust on his cheeks showed that he was quite embarrassed, not to mention the nondescript carrying the heavy quilt on his back.

"Not tired!" The girl gasped slightly, and the corners of her forehead were covered with fine sweat, but she still had a paralyzed face, and her voice was as indifferent as ever, as if she had been separated from her thoughts.

"You girl~" He was a little unbearable, how could he believe that a girl could compare to himself; So he turned around, squatted in front of her, was slightly stunned, and then stretched out his hand and quickly drew a few lines on both sides of the little girl's indifferent little cheeks, and then nodded his head with a matter-of-fact "Mmmm, this is more like a little flower cat~"

"Brother is more like!" Expressionless, the girl raised her right arm and wanted to make a few strokes on his face, but he instantly saw through it and grabbed the little hand that was troublesome.

"Don't move~" Catching a glimpse of the unwillingness that flashed in the girl's eyes, Sun Dao chuckled, then turned over the corner of his clothes and gently wiped the delicate little face with his inside.

The dark eyes were full of tenderness and seriousness, which made the girl's tense little face gradually relax.

However, Sun Dao glanced at her suddenly, and almost at the same time let go of the hand that was holding her, as if he had discovered something; After hesitation, the girl also turned her eyes after him, but there was nothing in her vision.

When she turned around again, she found that her brother had continued to wipe his cheek, but in the same place.

Suddenly found that his brother had also changed his clothes, obviously remembering the girl who had the same scene in the morning, he shook his head violently, and then suddenly stepped forward while the young man was stunned, and quickly rubbed his cheek on his face twice, then turned around and ran a few meters away; And on Sun Dao's face, the black mass is particularly conspicuous.

However, Sun Dao froze again, looked at the girl's back, and gradually wrinkled the corners of his eyebrows, and finally condensed into a Sichuan character.

Feeling something, the girl immediately wiped her little face a few times, then turned around, and saw a silver armored general walking briskly towards them.

Ignoring him, Sun Dao took a few steps forward, squatted down, and continued to carefully wipe the girl's little face that had really become a little flower cat.

"The last general will see His Highness Linchuan!"

But in a moment, the white-armored middle-aged general stopped in front of him, recognized Linchuan's appearance, his face was grim, and he clenched his fists and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty has an order, ordering Her Royal Highness the princess and Sun Gongzi to return immediately-"

"It should be caught back," Sun Dao's movements did not stop, and his eyes still focused on the girl's indifferent face, "Maybe it should be life or death!" ”

However, the coldness in those words was enough to ignore the cold of this winter day.

"The Last General—"

"General Li rest assured!" The white-armored general wanted to say a few more words, but was coldly interrupted by the girl, "This palace and brother...... Sun Gongzi is about to return to the city! ”

Sensing that his strength was slightly heavier, the girl immediately changed her words.

"General Lee?" Hearing Linchuan's title for the general, Sun Dao suddenly stopped moving, turned his eyes and asked, "Which General Li?" ”

"The last general, Li Junxi!" The middle-aged general finally turned his face, allowing Sun Dao to see the square face of the Chinese character.

"Wulian County Gongzuo Wuwei General Li Junxi, who guards the Xuanwu Gate?"

"It's the last general!" A series of names were said like water by Sun Dao, including even the little-known milk name, and a thick puzzle flashed in his dark eyes, but the middle-aged general still affirmed.

"That's it~" After completing his task, Sun Dao straightened up, stopped the girl, and then wiped his cheeks with his sleeves, and when he faced the white armor general, he was already smiling brightly and harmlessly, "General Li, in the lower hexagram, today I have a fate with the general, so I will say a few more words~"

"The end of the general's life, unless he fights on the battlefield!" I don't know when he squinted again, and suddenly his serious look was one word at a time, "Otherwise, don't go out of Beijing to be an official!" ”

"Let's go, let's go back to the city~" After speaking, he took the girl's slightly cool little hand and resumed that harmless smile......

When I saw Sun Dao again, I was already in the Lizheng Palace.

He stood under the hall with his hands in his hands, his gaze moving with the graceful movements of Empress Eldest Sun's hands making tea.

Li Shimin in the hall didn't say anything, so he didn't say anything either.

was waiting for him to talk to him about the conditions, so Li Shimin was speechless; He knew that the man in the hall understood why he was doing this, so he didn't say anything.

In the entire hall, only the gurgling sound of Empress Changsun pouring tea from time to time sounded, trying to drive away the dullness that constantly surrounded her.

"Smack!" The crisp cracking sound of porcelain suddenly sounded, which shook the dull atmosphere of the main hall and woke up the two who were motionless like clay sculptures.

"Guanyin!" Li Shimin didn't care who was in the hall, he immediately jumped up when he heard the sound, rushed over and snatched her hand, put it in front of him and looked at it carefully, that anxious look, there was a posture as if he would shout at the imperial doctor once he found that he was burned out of foam.

"It's not hot!" However, Sun Dao, who was at the bottom of the head, saw it clearly, the eldest grandson queen acted deliberately, how could she be injured, so seeing his panicked appearance was also deliberately sarcastic.

"Your Majesty~" Empress Eldest Sun's pretty face was slightly red, and she also felt that her husband was a little too much, and there were children watching below.

"I know!" With a cold snort, Li Shimin turned around, "I'm just afraid, I'm afraid that some people will take advantage of this to make a living!" ”

is obviously reflecting Sun Dao's use of Empress Changsun's illness to blackmail him.

"Humph!" Hearing this, Sun Dao also sneered, "That's several times better than some people!" ”

"Younger than me, but killed two people because of a trivial matter!"

"My head hurts a little~" Li Shimin, who was angry at the beginning, just opened his mouth, but was abruptly interrupted by this soft weak voice; What's more, he couldn't ignore the voice.

However, after glancing at it quickly and immediately turning its head, what Li Shimin and Sun Dao saw was not the scene they imagined.

The eldest grandson queen beside Li Shimin squinted her eyes and held her forehead with her hands, rubbing them regularly. If it's just like this, there's nothing to be surprised and helpless, but the elegant and virtuous eldest grandson queen is proudly hooked the corners of her lips, with a sly smile like a little fox.

But he and he were helpless.

Because Sun Dao owes her, Li Shimin owes him even more.

Otherwise, Li Shimin would not have drunk tea here, and Sun Dao would not have returned to this palace.

"I will personally teach about Tai'er!" Seeing that the hall was silent again, Empress Eldest Sun also lowered her arms, and for a long time, her thin lips lightly opened, "The important thing now is the trust between Your Majesty and Dao'er~"

"I said that I would still fulfill my promise, will Your Majesty believe it!" Sun Dao snorted and laughed, which is also the key!

But even though I know that this is the point, no one can solve it!

"What do you use to convince me?" With a calm face, Li Shimin then said sarcastically, "Just because you disappeared unknowingly and then came back voluntarily? ”

Whether it will suddenly disappear again is the question that Li Shimin is most worried about.

And this question, Sun Dao can't give an affirmative answer!

As he said, he only promised to keep his promise, but he did not take a position on that issue.

Therefore, he must keep that secret as a means of retreat, although this practice is very harmful.

He could only remain silent, because he had not thought deeply about the issue at all; In other words, he put the initiative in the hands of Li Shimin, after all, he had almost nothing.

"And what are you going to do?" Therefore, he can only say this.

"I will give you freedom, but until your vow is fulfilled, Linchuan must stay in the palace and not leave for half a step! Today's events reappear, Linchuan, die! Zhou Tiantian, die! Wing Guogong, it doesn't exist! However, Li Shimin had already made up his mind and made a choice!

"Good! Good! At the moment when Li Shimin's words fell, he suddenly raised his head and stared at his face that had not changed at all, "My own daughter is a hostage, and the people are a threat!" Good! ”

Squeezing out the words from between his teeth, his originally cold face gradually turned blue, and at the same time, his chest couldn't help but rise and fall violently, "Worthy of being a ruthless royal!" ”

"Worthy of the Iron Emperor!"

"Worthy of being the emperor of the ages!"

His body couldn't stand it, he was trembling violently, and his bloodshot eyes were about to split, "It is worthy of Li Shimin, who killed his brother and killed his brother!" ”

"Wait until the future—" Suddenly, his words stopped abruptly, as if someone had suddenly choked his neck.

Not because of Li Shimin, who was pale, but because of the eldest grandson Empress beside him who had a bloodless face and a crumbling body.

He owes her after all!

So he swallowed the sentence stiffly: "In the future, Li Tai will also point at your nose and scold - you can, why can't I!" ”

The previous sentence had already brought her to the brink of collapse.

So, it seemed that his soul was suddenly drained, Sun Dao's whole person was decadent, and his eyes were sunken in the moment when he was slightly dark due to lack of sleep, he closed his eyes, his tightly clenched fists trembled involuntarily, and he took steps that seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, one step at a time, as if he was stepping on his heart.

Finally, he finally arrived at the other side, and with a weak voice, he picked the flowers of the other side that came bright red and blackened to "shake hands and make peace"
