Chapter 14: The Wooden Sinking Boat (1)

A few days later, the palace was even more heavily guarded, and Li Luo, as before, did not see the slightest abnormality.

The left and right sides of Qingxin Building are also the places where the tiger guards are strictly guarded, and it seems that there is a bit of surveillance in addition to protecting Li Luo's safety.

Li Luo turned a blind eye, although Prince Chun would not have any suspicions, but he was also worried that Li Luo would have something wrong.

Fortunately, Li Luo seemed to be very reasonable, and for a few days he either slept with his head covered or wandered around the mansion with nothing to do, although there was still some fear of the rest of his life after the catastrophe, there was no other difference, and Prince Chun was relieved.

Li Luo saw the opportunity, concealed the snow, and quietly came to the backyard of the palace.

Li Luo in the backyard of the palace has been here for two years, and this time he came in alone to realize the size of the backyard of the palace, full of strange pines and strange stones, strange flowers and fruits in the forest, and the path under his feet is also made of stones, which is only enough to settle down.

Hearing the sound of water, winding along the path, the sound of water is getting closer and closer, turning a boulder, the sound of water suddenly disappears, but the scenery changes in front of you.

In this Zhuo City, I am afraid that only Prince Chun's Mansion has such a wide garden, even the Royal Forest Garden may not be so magnificent.

There is almost no way to find in the backyard, the mountains turn steeply, the forests are deep, there are a few deep mountains and rivers, few people come on weekdays, only Prince Chun will put a few mountain birds and beasts for recreation when he is bored, and only Prince Chun has such power in Zhuocheng, which is like gold.

Li Luo followed Luo'er a few times, barely knew the way, so he made several turns, and drilled through a cave, and suddenly opened up in front of him, a piece of green bamboo, a pool of clear water, and a thatched house, which was in sight.

Li Luo crossed the bamboo bridge, stood in front of the thatched hut and looked carefully, suddenly a cluster of bushes beside him rustled, Li Luo was startled, moved a few steps, looked intently, and saw a round head sticking out of the bushes, and a few leaves were sticking to his hair.

When the visitor saw Li Luo, he seemed to be taken aback, and he was about to drill into it in a hurry, Li Luo hurriedly called: "You are Qiuji?" ”

After a pause, he poked his head out and asked suspiciously, "How do you know my name?" ”

"I've seen you with Luo'er."

Qiu Ji exclaimed: "I remember, you are Brother Luo'er, hey, why don't you see Sister Luo'er coming with you?" ”

Li Luo said in a harmonious voice: "Luo'er has gone to a distant place, and it will take a long time to come back, and she has something to ask me to come here." ”

Qiu Ji looked around carefully, and saw that there was no one else except Li Luo, so he jumped out, but she was a simple and honest girl, who didn't seem to be a few years older than Li Luo, and her face was immature.

Akiyoshi is a subordinate who takes care of flowers and plants in the house, and his status is low, and one day he somehow quarreled with the maid of the concubine Azusa and was humiliated.

Luo Er met by chance, but she couldn't see this girl bullying people, she spoke out to solve the siege, and taught the maid of Zi Side Concubine a lesson, and the maid saw that it was Luo'er, and she didn't dare to contradict it, so she walked away.

This incident made Akiyoshi grateful, and when he was fine, he stuck to Luo'er, like a fart.

Li Luo has seen a few times, although Qiu Ji is a little clumsy, but he is very kind-hearted, and he is very talented in raising flowers and grass, Luo Er did not say who Li Luo is, Qiu Ji is obsessed with flowers and plants, and he is mostly in the backyard on weekdays, but he doesn't know Li Luo, just as a familiar little friend in Luo'er's house, get along with him at will, just call him Brother Luo'er, Luo'er doesn't feel abrupt, Li Luo also feels fresh, so he should come down, and said a few words, which can be regarded as familiar.

Li Luo smiled warmly: "Why are you so panicked? ”

"Brother Luo'er, don't you know, there are always guards searching in the backyard these days, Sister Luo'er has entrusted me not to let others see it, fortunately, I am familiar with this place, and I have changed several places in a row before I have been discovered, Brother Luo'er came by coincidence, I was not here yesterday." Akiyoshi said as if he were invited.

"Oh? Was Luoer here some time ago? ”

"Yes, Sister Luo'er and her grandfather have been in the backyard for a while, and they seem to be teaching Luo'er something, but," Akiyoshi said in a low voice, "Sister Luo'er's grandfather has a gloomy face all day long, and his appearance is far from that of Sister Luo'er." ”

Li Luo smiled lightly and said, "But you're in the house at the moment?" ”

"yes." Qiu Ji leaned in front of Li Luo and whispered, "A few days ago, I suddenly came back alone, covered in blood, but it was scary, I don't know what happened, it seems like I'm dying, if I really die, what should I do if Sister Luo'er asks." Akiyoshi said with a sad face.

At this time, a hoarse and cold voice came from the room: "The little girl is open-mouthed, looking for death." ”

Akiyoshi stuck out his tongue, but his face was not afraid, he grinned, and made a grimace at Li Luo.

Li Luo praised Akiyoshi a few words and entered the house with Akiyoshi.

Entering the thatched hut, Li Luo looked stunned, the thatched hut was made of grass mustard to block the wind, and the mud built the wall, a few places have been damaged, the autumn cold has arrived, and it is indeed too dilapidated here.

Li Luo raised his eyes and swept it, and saw an old man in black sitting on a small bamboo couch in the corner of the wall looking at him coldly, as Qiu Ji said, his face was dull, his eyes were narrow and long, with a few long beards, and his eyes were hollow, which made people shudder after looking at it, and his face was pale without half a point of blood, and a little dark gray was faintly visible.

Li Luo was taken aback, only looked at his face, and almost suspected that it had reached the point where the oil lamp had dried up.

Although Li Luo didn't know the old man in front of him, he had heard the old man's voice, it was the man in black who wanted to take Luo'er away with him in Changchun Courtyard that day, but he didn't expect to be so seriously injured, and in a few days, he was afraid that there would be less luck.

The old man looked at Li Luo coldly, and said in a cold voice, "What are you doing here?" ”

Li Luo was angry, but remembering Luo'er's request before his death, he suppressed the resentment in his chest, and said lightly: "Luo'er told me to take care of my seniors." ”

"Fake compassion, if it weren't for you, how could the little girl ......" Before the words fell, Li Luo was hurriedly interrupted, and said softly: "Senior be cautious." ”

The murderous aura flashed in the old man's eyes, he glanced at Akiyoshi, snorted coldly, and kept silent.

Qiu Ji was puzzled, looked at Li Luo, and asked blankly, "Brother Luo'er, what's wrong with Sister Luo'er?" ”

Li Luo smiled reluctantly, and Wen Yan replied: "It's okay, it's just leaving the palace." ”

Qiu Ji sighed, looked at Li Luo, and then looked at the old man in black, who was ignorant, then scratched his head and said with a smile: "You say first, I'll go outside the house to have a look, if someone comes over, I will have to change places." With that, he ran out of the hut.

Li Luo and the old man in black looked at each other speechlessly, and the old man in black glanced at Li Luo in disgust and closed his eyes.

Li Luo looked sad, sighed, and said in a low voice: "Luo'er......"

"Shut up, Luo'er girl gave her life in vain, stupid, the old man doesn't want to see you again, get out!" The old man cut off Li Luo's words, and Sen Han said.

Li Luo's anger swelled up, and he shouted loudly: "The predecessor said well, since you know that this trip is dangerous, why do you want to bring Luo'er into the mansion?" ”

"Ignorant child," the old man's eyes widened angrily, and he rebuked in a cold voice, "Luo'er entered the mansion only because he was afraid that you would die at the hands of the assassins, don't you think that the assassins can't find out where you are except for Luo'er to lead the way?" If it weren't for the old man giving her a whistle, how could the old man arrive in time. From before the plot and assassination began, Luo'er has been around you, if you are safe, she will leave the palace with the old man, hum, how can you be so ignorant, you have to work with people if you are not good at learning, and take Luo'er's life in vain. The old man couldn't have imagined that Luo Er girl would fight to protect you, the successor to the throne, and sure enough, this palace was finally the key to it, and she was willing to do it if she couldn't recover. ”

Li Luo's body shook, he couldn't stand, and slowly sat down on the ground.

Akiyoshi heard movement in the house outside, and hurriedly ran in, saw Li Luo sitting on the ground, and hurriedly ran over to ask Li Luo what had happened.

Li Luo didn't say a word for a long time, Qiu Ji was anxious, glared at Duanmu Shenzhou angrily and said: "You old man, why are you still bullying Brother Luo'er, if you weren't Luo'er's relative, I would have taught you a lesson!" ”

The old man rolled his eyes and ignored her. Akiyoshi was about to step forward to theorize, but was stopped by Li Luo.

Li Luo struggled to stand up, Qiu Ji hurriedly supported Li Luo, Li Luo said hoarsely: "It's okay, I just heard that something happened to Luo'er's family, the elders are seriously ill, Luo'er is in a hurry to go back, I can't come back for a long time, I'm worried about Luo'er, I feel uncomfortable for a while, and it has nothing to do with the old man." ”

"Oh," Akiyoshi suddenly realized, and said to the old man in black with a smile, "It turns out that I have wronged the old man, hehe." ”

The old man snorted coldly, disapproving.

Akiyoshi then said in distress: "When will Luo'er come back?" ”

Li Luo looked at Qiu Ji and said: "The elders in the family will come back when their condition improves, it's okay, I miss Luo'er then, I'll take you to find her." ”

Akiyoshi clapped his hands happily and said, "Okay, good." ”

Li Luoqiang Yan said: "Qiuji, Luo'er is not here during this time, you have to take good care of your seniors, and you must not delay Luo'er's entrustment." ”

Akiyoshi nodded vigorously and said, "I'll go outside and watch, if someone comes I'll tell you." After speaking, he ran out without waiting for Li Luo to agree.
