Chapter 18

Liu Qinghun was stunned and believed in the reins of the horse, until late at night, but saw the sky full of stars, covered by clouds, a bright moon in the heavy sea of clouds, the faint hazy moonlight, dragged his figure for a long time, the light of the dark moon, reflected on his delicate face, with a faint halo. He looked up and saw the bright moon, and then he sighed, "The moon shadow is like this, I wonder if it also shines on the Yiren?" ”

He looked around, but found himself at the mouth of a large town, which was quiet, with the occasional bark or two, and he did not know how far he had traveled and where he had gone. He drove the horse into the town, where the houses were closed and only a few houses were lit out. The night breeze blows, with a touch of moisture, which makes people feel refreshed.

He cheered up, rode his horse slowly, and there seemed to be a whimpering sound in his ears, the voice was poignant and resentful, but the vocal range was deep and low, not only his heart was broken, but also touched his heart, and he followed the sound away.

There was a big road in the middle of the town, and the sound was faint, sometimes high and sometimes low, and he gradually broke away from the main road and turned into a path. The path is deep, and the sound of water can be heard in my ears, but I can see a stream at my feet, which is still as clear as a mirror in the moonlight. The grass is luxuriant by the stream, the sound of the water is murmuring, there is a wooden bridge not far away, and a small courtyard behind the bridge. The voice became clearer and clearer, and it was coming from the courtyard.

Liu Qing dismounted and crossed the small bridge. Seeing that the lights in the courtyard were not extinguished, a person wearing a linen coat and bast shoes was sitting in the courtyard to enjoy the shade, but the sound of Xun was blown from the mouth of a young man next to him.

When the young man saw Liu Qing, he was slightly stunned, and his voice stopped abruptly. The man didn't look at Liu Qing, and scolded the young man, "Music is the ear of sound, if you see things and move, your heart will move, and the music will not be coherent, so how can you play the sound of nature?" ”

When the young man heard this, he lowered his head and did not make a sound, extremely respectful.

"Well, if a visitor arrives, go and get some food, and he will come here late at night, and he will be hungry." As soon as he said this, Liu Qingcai felt like a fire in his abdomen, and couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

The man looked at the starry sky and asked, "The guest has not been here from the capital for a short time, you have the air of royalty, could it be that your surname is Liu?" Seeing that there is a little sadness between your eyebrows, you must be unwilling, the main star is dark, the guest star is dim, you are the waste prince Liu Qing! ”

Before he could say a word, Liu Qing was already surprised, he only looked at the stars, and then looked at his appearance, he knew his identity, he was really a god.

He hurriedly bowed and said, "Xiao Wang is indeed Liu Qing, Mr. is really a god!" ”

The man smiled, "I saw a guest star coming from the capital earlier, so I knew it was you, and I saw that you had a deep grudge between your eyebrows, so it is not surprising that I knew." ”

After saying that, he stood up and gave a salute to Liu Qing, "The villain Li He, who lives in seclusion in the countryside, is rude to the prince, please don't be surprised." ”

Liu Qing hurriedly helped him up, "Mr. Li He, I think he is a master outside the world, just now Xiao Wang was attracted by Xun Sheng, and when he came here, he didn't want to meet a master, Xiao Wang was depressed, Mr. might give me some advice?" ”

Li He smiled and said, "Lord Wang, you can eat something first, or you can stay here for a few days, and Li He will make a word for the prince." ”

At this time, the young man had already come out with a lacquer plate, all of which were from the countryside, and Liu Qing had not eaten since he left Deng Xun's team, and he didn't care about the rude food, and devoured it.

Li He smiled and said nothing, but said to the young man, "Gan Ying, you bring some more water." ”

Liu Qing ate and took a few sips of water, feeling that the vitality of his whole body had returned, and it seemed that his longing for Deng Sui had also faded.

Li He didn't talk to him, but said, "The prince is tired from a long journey, have a good night's rest, tomorrow morning, the villain will take the prince to the mountains for a walk, this is Huayin County, the scenery is extremely beautiful!" Then he said goodbye and left.

Liu Qing traveled all the way, and he was hit hard and physically and mentally exhausted, so he fell into a deep sleep.

The glimmer of the morning was reflected in the pane, and in the glow of the sky, the birds chirped, but they also smelled a burst of floral fragrance, Liu Qing got up and dressed and collapsed, and walked out of the door, but saw a good scenery.

When I came last night, the night was thick and I was in a trance, and I didn't pay attention to the surrounding scenery, but now it seems to be heartbreaking.

Behind the wooden bridge in front of the small courtyard in front of the house, there is a bamboo forest, green bamboo, such as covered with a layer of rich green yarn, there seems to be fog in the morning light, and it is lined with Jinna and colorful, light and delicate.

Outside the fence in front of the house, there is a neem tree, which blooms at this time, the flowers are very small, and the petals are white and purple, but they exude a very strong floral fragrance. Although there is no wind, the fragrance of flowers forms a mass around the tree, which slowly dissipates, and a faint fragrance can be smelled in the distance. The wooden house is simple, but elegant and chic. Behind the house turned out to be a peak into the clouds, the peak was shrouded in clouds and mist, and it seemed like a fairyland on earth.

Gan Ying was carrying two buckets of water from behind the bridge, he was sixteen or seventeen years old, tall, with bright eyes and slightly dark skin. The two buckets of water were full, but he did not have any difficulty, and the water was in the buckets, and there was no ripple.

When he saw Liu Qing get up, he smiled slightly, but he didn't answer, and only after pouring the water in the bucket into a large vat did he say out, "The prince has woken up, and the villain will pour water for the prince to wash his face." ”

After Liu Qing washed his face, he saw that Li He was already waiting for him to eat. Li He and Gan Ying didn't speak during the meal, there was only a bowl of porridge and a small plate of pickled side dishes for breakfast.

Li He is twenty-seven or eighteen years old, although he is dressed as a farmer, he can hardly hide the spirit of books, his eyes are bright and transparent, and he looks very smart. He handed Liu Qing a thick piece of firewood and said, "Lord Wang, let's climb to the top of the mountain together today, this mountain is one of the three peaks of Huashan, it is extremely steep, Gan Ying and I will climb it once a day, and we have also practiced to be strong and strong." The prince was born in the family of the prince since he was a child, I don't know if he has some physical strength? He looked at Liu Qing with a smile, as if to provoke him.

Liu Qing looked up at the peak above his head, although he was full of intentions, he did not flinch, and said loudly, "Mr. underestimated me, Xiao Wang will follow Mr. to the top of the mountain." ”

Li He smiled without saying a word, and took the lead in walking out. The peaks are high into the clouds, the mountain roads are rugged, but Li He and Gan Ying are like flat ground, talking and laughing freely, Li He sometimes stops, waiting for Liu Qing, but does not forget to encourage. Liu Qing has been lonely all his life, and he has a strong spirit, so although he is tired and sweaty, he refuses to give up and barely supports himself to move forward.

After all, he was in the palace, pampered, and halfway through, he only felt weak, and it was difficult to climb half a step.

Li He was not reluctant, so he took him back to the wooden house at the foot of the mountain, and in this half a month, Liu Qing gradually got taller and stronger, and his body became stronger and stronger. Gan Ying talks politely, Liu Qing likes him very much, but he can't figure out the details of Li He.

He also asked Gan Ying in private, and Gan Ying only said, "Master is proficient in music, arithmetic, martial arts, hundreds of schools, is a rare master, the prince meets him is the blessing of the prince, at this time the master is also testing the prince, when you can climb to the top of the mountain, the master will talk to you about the way of the world." ”

Liu Qing was overjoyed, practiced hard, and finally reached the top of the mountain on the nineteenth day. Seeing the white clouds at his feet, everything in heaven and earth was as small as insects and ants, and he suddenly felt open-minded and swept away his gloomy atmosphere.

Li He walked up to him and said, "Lord Wang, what do you think of this world?" ”

Liu Qing sighed, "What about the world and me, just like the clouds in the mountains, ethereal and helpless, as if there is nothing." ”

"Yes, lord, the world is like this, why bother about this?"

"Xiao Wang has long lost the ambition to sit in the world, and this is even more true at this time!" Liu Qing sighed.

"If the prince doesn't have this ambition, why sigh! Although you were deposed as the crown prince, you are also a person with great ambitions, but you have a deep brotherly love and refuse to regret your affection. He is also subservient to others, humiliated by others all the time, and unwilling in his heart. Have you not been afflicted with what you have asked for? Li He talked eloquently, his eyes blazing, and looked at Liu Qing.

Liu Qing bowed his head and was silent, remembering that Sui'er would enter the palace as a concubine, if he was the emperor, wouldn't he be able to stay with Sui'er and never be separated?

"Lord Wang, the villain is a cloth cloth, and he has never thought of becoming an official, just looking at the prince like this, he is just pointing out the maze."

"Sir, please speak!" Liu Qing raised his head and his expression relaxed.

"Although I know the five elements, I only follow Confucianism and Taoism, the Son of Heaven is established, the prince must assist with his heart, and he must not have the heart to seize the throne. Otherwise, you will not end well! Li He didn't look at Liu Qing, and continued, "You have a nose all over the world, your eyes show kindness, you are a kind-hearted person, although the world is not available for a while, it is not forever available." ”

"What do you mean, sir?" Liu Qing's sweat when he climbed the mountain had turned into cold sweat, and he was very uncomfortable at this time.

"In the world, the world is turbulent, and the prince is a person who has been blessed by his descendants! Therefore, the prince must help His Majesty to gain the merit of the world, so that he will have the share of the world. Although you are unwilling, you must open your mind to allow the world to be in the palm of your hand! Li He paced and talked.

"Sir, is it asking me to help the emperor's brother?" Liu Qing asked.

"Yes, the prince can write a word and take a look, and I'll tell you about it!" Li He picked up a stone and handed it to Liu Qing.

Liu Qing pondered for a while and wrote the word "Sui" on the ground.

Li He stared at it for a long time before he said, "Is there a woman in the prince's heart?" ”

Liu Qing nodded, "Lord Wang, is this woman benevolent and virtuous?" ”

Liu Qingdao, "Mr. Dacai, where did you know?" ”

"Look at this Sui word, there is a woman in it, it shows what the prince thinks in his heart, and furthermore, this woman has love and the people, and is the person who rules the world, that is, she loves the people like a son, and must be a benevolent and virtuous person. It's just that if this woman wants to be here, there are still thousands of twists and turns, and the villain is not talented, dare to ask if this woman is interested in the prince? He stared at Liu Qing's eyes and asked in a deep voice.

"I love her deeply, but I don't know if she has the same affection for me, she is very polite, and she will never say it to me!" Liu Qing was convinced of Li He, so he told his heart.

"The prince can't, this girl is not an adult, but she is the one who will help the adult win the world in the future, you have to make up your mind!"

Liu Qing stepped down, he had already served Li He, if he could push out these a few words in a word, for a long time, he said in a low voice, "Sir, although Liu Qing has no great talent, he understands what Mr. means, and will definitely act according to Mr.'s intentions, please rest assured." ”

Li He laughed loudly and said, "Lord Wang, don't let me rest assured, this is the villain's humble opinion, it's not early, let's go down the mountain!" ”

The deep clouds are still the same, and a clear word "Sui" is still engraved on the top of Huashan, and the breeze is blowing, as if it is telling.
