From Yizhou City to Jingshi, there are not many detours, and after crossing a mountain, it is a straight official road, all the way forward. It's just that the road is very boring, but the scenery on both sides of the official road is quite chic.

Along the way, Li Xiao always sat quietly in the car, looking through the books he brought from Suzhou City, all kinds of books, most of which were medical books left by Sun Miao. Chu Chu was also obedient and didn't bother, but always poked his head out of the car window, looking at the scenery around him stupidly, with an unconcealable smile on his face.

As for Lu Yunlu, he hid in the car all day long, except for three meals, it was difficult to see him, sometimes Li Xiao was thinking, this Lu Dagongzi didn't look like a master who loved to read, and he didn't know what this person was doing in the car all day. It wasn't until he was approaching Jingshi that a young woman got out of his car that Li Xiao suddenly realized.

"The young master likes to read medical books, is he a doctor?" Chu Chu tilted his head, opened his bright eyes, and said.

A few days ago, Chu Chu still had a lot of injuries on her body because of the previous master's family, but after Li Xiao brought her back, she didn't know what method was used to keep her body intact with bruises, and from that moment, she was guessing that this gentle young master should be the son of those witch doctor clans.

Li Xiao put down the book, stretched out his hand and gently stroked Chu Chu's head, Chu Chu enjoyed the head touching from the closest young master, closed his eyes, and shook his little head. "It's not really, it's just that I learned a little from an old man, and now I have to travel far to get sick, and now I read some books and hold a Buddha's foot temporarily, so as not to have a foreign appearance when I get it."

"Foreign? Cramming? Chu Chu lowered his head, muttered in his mouth, and then shook his head vigorously, staring at Li Xiao with big eyes, "Which young master is going to give to the young lady witch doctor in Jingshi City?" ”

"That delicate princess in the palace." Li Xiao opened the book and replied casually.

"Ah, princess." Chu Chu seemed to be taken aback, he was busy clasping his hands, bowing his head and not knowing which immortal he was worshipping, and muttering some words that Li Xiao couldn't understand.

"How can the young master say that about Her Royal Highness the Princess." Chu Chu knelt and sat down, and said, "Mom, I said, those royal families are sent by heaven to manage us, if the heavens listen to it and tell His Majesty in the palace, the young master must not be imprisoned by His Majesty." ”

Chu Chu, who was kneeling and sitting, kept drawing with a pair of small hands, and the way he spoke in his mouth was really interesting.

"There are no gods in the sky. There is only the boundless vastness of the universe. Li Xiao didn't care about her, and let the little girl say in a daze, "Besides, Your Majesty has a lot of opportunities, how can you have time to pay attention to us little people." ”

"The young master is talking nonsense again." Chu Chu pouted, this young master of his own, treats people gently, has no pretentiousness, is approachable, has a good temper, and is good at everything, but when he speaks, he always mixes some words that he doesn't understand, like what Ollie gives and Ya Yan Butterfly, but it always sounds very interesting.

"I don't know what Her Royal Highness looks like." Chu Chu supported his head with his hands, and his eyes looked out the window through the curtain.

"It's just a pair of hands, a pair of legs, a head, just an ordinary person, what can it be." Li Xiao flipped through some old books, and in his eyes, the seriously ill princess in the palace was not as interesting as the illustrated medical books in front of him.

This time, Jingshi and his party are just going through the motions, her emperor father, who has supreme power, will not recruit himself as a colt because he saved her, all in all, he and the princess will only be in a hurry, and there is no chance to meet again, so what does the princess look like and what does it have to do with herself. I'm afraid, that plan.

"Princess Changle's biological mother is Concubine Wan, but she looks like a fairy in the sky." The carriage slowly stopped, and Lu Yunlu pulled the curtain, holding a steaming chicken leg in his mouth. "Someone from the palace picked us up, get out of the car quickly, and don't hang on to it."

Looking at Lu Yunlu, Li Xiao couldn't help but smile bitterly, didn't speak, only held the coachman's hand, bent down and walked off the car. landed firmly on the ground, patted the dust on his boots, and followed Lu Yunlu to the front. When Chu Chu saw the young master walking away, he immediately jumped out of the carriage, followed the ashes on the skirt of Li Xiao's appearance, and then trotted to follow, putting his hand in front of him and quietly following behind Li Xiao.

Not far away, a man in a cyan python robe, with his hands in front of him, slightly bent over, and a smirk on his face stood. Listening to Lu Yunlu, this is the father-in-law from the palace, surnamed Xu, who has always come to serve His Majesty personally, and this time he personally went out of the city to pick him up, which shows that His Majesty attaches great importance to us.

"Father-in-law Xu, how did you personally go out of the city to pick it up, which flattered Yunlu." Lu Yunlu threw the chicken leg in his hand to the coachman when he walked past his carriage, took out a silk scarf, wiped his hands, and then walked towards Xu Sheng.

"Lu Gongzi is serious, our family also watched you grow up, it's nothing to come out and pick you up, besides, Your Majesty asked the servants to pick you up and Li Gongzi, and you must not show Your Majesty's sincerity," Xu Sheng looked at Lu Yunlu and Li Xiao with a professional smirk, and Chu Chu didn't even look at it: "This is Li Gongzi from Suzhou, he looks so handsome, our family is very happy." ”

Li Xiao, who was stared at by Xu Sheng, couldn't help but feel a chill, and Li Xiao always felt that Xu Sheng's gaze seemed to have an indescribable meaning. "Thank you to Father-in-law Xu for complimenting, Li Xiao is a rural person, I am really grateful to be praised by my father-in-law."

Chu Chu behind him saw Li Xiao's hesitant appearance for the first time, and couldn't help but hide behind him, lowered his head, and covered his mouth and snickered.

Listening to what Li Xiao said, Xu Sheng covered his mouth and giggled, his posture, if it was a woman, it must be amorous, but it was a pity......

"I don't know if Gonggong Xu came this time to pick up Li Xiao into the palace?" Lu Yunlu didn't seem to be willing to stay with Xu Sheng for too long, so he couldn't help asking.

In fact, this Lu Gongzi is indeed unwilling to stay with Xu Sheng for too long, firstly, he has already arrived outside the capital city and is eager to return home, and secondly, it is rumored that this Xu Sheng is a good man, and staying with him always has a feeling of sitting on pins and needles, and this Xu Sheng still has a little power in the palace, and he can't directly dodge it, every time he meets, he will always dodge in advance, and the feeling of staying with Xu Sheng is really terrifying.

After listening, Xu Sheng also realized the task this time, wiped the water stains on the corners of his mouth, squinted his eyes, and said: "No, Your Majesty means to let our family take Li Gongzi to live in Wan'an Temple in the west of the city for a while, and there is no hurry to enter the palace now." ”

This Li Xiao was a little stunned, the team of people who came to Suzhou City a few days ago were in a hurry, and they couldn't wait to leave on the same day, why now, they are not in a hurry, the co-author is the emperor is bored, and he is playing with himself.

Xu Sheng saw Li Xiao's doubts, and said unhurriedly: "In the past few days, the imperial doctors have eased the condition of Her Royal Highness the princess, which is not as serious as some time ago, but Your Majesty is worried about a recurrence, so he let Li Gongzi temporarily live in Wan'an Temple, just in case." Li Gongzi doesn't have to worry, it's the first time to come to Jingshi, you might as well take advantage of these days to have a good time, as for the expenses of these days, Your Majesty will help you reimburse, Gongzi just needs to stay in Jingshi quietly, and when the princess is well, you can leave. ”

As he spoke, Xu Sheng posted to Li Xiao's side, smiled obscenely, and whispered, "If you encounter any trouble, come to our family, and our family can help solve it." ”

The previous words were nothing, the royal basic exercises, just the whispers that Xu Sheng added later, and Li Xiao, who was really scared, almost sweared, but fortunately, he had strong restraint ability, and he was busy laughing and thanking him repeatedly.

Xu Sheng rubbed Li Xiao with his shoulder, and when he saw the latter's embarrassed appearance, he twisted his butt and walked to the carriage parked in front of him with satisfaction, "It's not too early, it's time to go on the road." ”

Lu Yunlu and Li Xiao hurriedly saluted, and then immediately turned around and returned to their respective carriages, and when Li Xiao was just about to step on the horse stool and enter the carriage, he heard Xu Sheng not far away say in a girlish voice: "Li Gongzi, Your Majesty asked our family to ask, Li Gongzi first came to Beijing, what do you think of this Jingshi City." ”

"How is it compared to Suzhou City?"

Good guys, do things as soon as you come.

Li Xiao stopped, stood on the stool, looked at the city a few miles away, and could see a city wrapped in a gray-white stone wall from a distance, with a stone plaque engraved with two big characters hanging on it, and under it, there were several semicircular red gates, large and small, welcoming everyone who came to Beijing. On the city wall, there are dozens of armoured soldiers, staring into the distance like stone pillars, staring intently.

This is the destination that Li Xiao and the three of them have traveled to for dozens of days - Jingshi.

Looking at the city not far away, Li Xiao's clean cheeks showed a sunny smile, and then he looked at the busy people in and out of the city, and took a hard breath of the various smells emanating from the surroundings, "The prosperity of the capital almost made the grass people happy." ”

After saying that, he smiled and got into the carriage and said no more, despite the fact that they did not understand.

The traces of the years are clearly engraved on the city wall, Lu Yunlu and Li Xiao followed Xu Sheng's carriage through the officers and soldiers outside the city without hindrance, and the three carriages passed through the city pass very quietly, no one spoke, and no one joked with those expressionless officers and soldiers.

Chu Chu sat quietly on the side, looking at Li Xiao with an expressionless face, scolding the eunuch in front of him who spoke in a weird manner, and slandered how this person who had no guy was so annoying. But Li Xiao was thinking that the feeling that Jingshi gave him was like meeting a fellow countryman in a foreign country, a little kind, and a little strange.

The sun in April and May is a little hot, so that the city of Jingshi, which is located in the north, can clearly feel the warmth from the sun. The weeds and wild flowers on the side of the road swayed randomly in the heat waves, the birds in the sky kept chirping, and only the moat outside the city lay quietly, wordlessly appeasing the undead in the river.
