Facing the firelight, Lu Li smiled very flatteringly.

Shangguan Yinling has hated flattery the most since he became an official, and at this moment, seeing her smiling like this, he handed over a fat chicken leg, he didn't feel disgusted, and reached out to take the chicken leg.

"There's really no seasoning around here, I'm wronged." Lu Li tore off a chicken leg for himself, it didn't taste good when he ate it, but the fragrance was extraordinarily fragrant, "When you go back to Yingzhou, I invite you to eat chicken in the largest restaurant." ”

"It's rare for you to spend so much money." Shangguan Yinling couldn't help but smile, she was usually the most nervous about the money in her hand, and it was not easy for her to spend money on a treat.

"Isn't this to thank you?" Lu Li smiled, tore off another wing and handed it to Shangguan Yinling, the two of them divided a chicken almost equally, and sat by the bonfire and waited for the city gate to open at dawn.

"I heard Duan Lang say that you gave up the opportunity to enter Taixue."

The night wind was gusting, the moonlight was clear, Shangguan Yinling looked sideways at Lu Li, she was holding a branch and fiddling with the fire at will, looking like she had something on her mind.

"It would have been, but now I'm hesitating." She originally wanted to stay in Yingzhou and find her family, but now it seems that there is little hope of finding it.

They have been separated for nearly ten years, and she has long forgotten how many people they had ten years ago, their names, and what they looked like, even if they passed by on the street, they couldn't recognize them.

What about holding that jade pendant, not necessarily her relatives can recognize it, not to mention that there are enemies chasing and killing, wearing a jade pendant to swagger through the market is dangerous.

Could it be that she is destined to be lonely in this life, and she will never find her relatives again.

"But worried about finding your relatives?" Shangguan Yinling said a word to break through her thoughts, and when she saw her sigh slightly, she almost understood, "I don't know if you have heard the story of the first emperor and the empress dowager recognizing each other?" ”

"Never." Lu Li shook his head.

"The father of the first emperor, that is, the current emperor Emperor Liang You, has a very close relationship with the empress dowager, and once swore a poisonous oath to the empress dowager that he would not set up two concubines and not favor two daughters for the rest of his life. But when he succeeded to the throne for fifteen years, Sanhan offered the first beauty of their country in order to ask for the blessing of our court, and the emperor fell in love with this Samhan woman at first sight, and spoiled this woman that night, and put the oath to the Empress Dowager behind, and even repeatedly had disputes with the Empress Dowager for this woman, and when he was angry, he threatened to abolish the Empress Dowager's position as the queen at that time, and set up Samhan woman as the queen. ”

Lu Li frowned slightly, it turned out that this Emperor Liang You was still a negative man who had been chaotic and abandoned from the beginning.

"The Empress Dowager is young and vigorous, and she is a very bloody woman, and immediately announced to the world that she resigned from the throne, away from the palace gate, and since then she has played the rivers and lakes, and has never seen Emperor Liang You again, together with the first emperor who was still young at the time, also stayed in the palace and was raised by the Empress Dowager at that time."

"Then what about later, did the Empress Dowager return to the palace?"

"Naturally, I returned to the palace, but after the death of Emperor Liang You, the first emperor succeeded to the throne, and used all means to search the world before taking the empress dowager back to the palace, and the mother and son recognized each other."

"The Empress Dowager is really a woman who doesn't let her eyebrows, so bloody, she really doesn't see Emperor Liang You again, what about Emperor Liang You? Have you ever regretted looking for the Empress Dowager after leaving the Empress Dowager? ”

Lu Li had put his worries behind him at this moment, and his heart was full of concern for the follow-up of the story of the Empress Dowager and the negative man.

"Naturally, I regret it, the second year after the empress dowager left, the Sanhan woman was found to have fornicated with the Sanhan guards, Emperor Liang You was furious, and immediately executed the two, and then began to miss the Empress Dowager endlessly, sent a large number of people to find it, and also left the royal face to post his repentance poems all over the country, but until Emperor Liang You died, the Empress Dowager never appeared in front of him."

"Alas, if you knew today, why bother in the first place." Lu Li couldn't help but sigh.

"But what I want to tell you is not this story," Shangguan Yinling couldn't help but wonder when he saw Lu Li listening seriously, "Do you know how Emperor Liang You, who couldn't find the empress dowager in the world, was finally found by the first emperor?" ”

Lu Li shook his head.

"Since the first emperor was still the crown prince, he created the world's largest search network, collected information from all over the world, and developed into this dynasty, which has become an independent department, that is, the world-famous Juxing Pavilion today, and it was precisely because of the intelligence of the Juxing Pavilion that the first emperor was reunited with the mother and son of the Empress Dowager." Shangguan Yinling talked about the origin of the Gathering Star Pavilion, and seeing that Lu Li's expression was gradually full of hope, he said again, "It just so happens that I have been practicing martial arts with the Pavilion Master of the Gathering Star Pavilion since I was a child, and he is still my junior brother, if he helps, why can't I find your family?" ”

"My lord, are you really willing to help me find my parents?" Lu Li's eyes were shining, his eyes were full of reverence and admiration, and Shangguan Yuling smiled.

"Or else? I'm here to tell you a story to relieve boredom? ”

"Your Excellency, you're so good!" Lu Li grabbed Shangguan Yuling's hand in surprise, swaying it up and down happily, his eyes flashed, I don't know if it was tears or hope.

"Needless to say, don't be grateful, just don't get into trouble when you get to the capital." Shangguan Yuling couldn't help but hit her, and his eyes were on the hand that was tightly held by her, "Can you let go of your hand?" ”

"I'm sorry, sir." Lu Li immediately let go of his hand and turned his head to face the bonfire, his eyes were full of joy and brightness.

The two sat under the tree all night, Lu Li was extremely sleepy, simply leaned against the tree and barely slept all night, the sky broke, the city faintly heard the sound of chickens, the two set off, when the sky was bright, they had arrived at the palace.

"My lord, Lu Li, you two are finally back." Duan Lang saw the two of them returning home, his face was full of surprise, "Xia Guan and Xu Yun are about to go to the market to purchase dry food and special products on the road, can adults come along?" ”

"We can't go over, the one that Lord Duan brings to Lu Li is enough."

Duan Lang was stunned before he reacted to Shangguan Yinling's words.

"What do you mean...... Lu Li, have you changed your mind? ”

Duan Lang looked at Lu Li in surprise, and the latter nodded rather perfunctorily.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to live without you."

"Really?" Duan Lang glanced up and down in disbelief, then moved his gaze to Shangguan Yinling, and looked at him a few times between the two of them, "Why don't I believe it so much?" ”

"Believe it or not, don't forget to buy things for me, I'll go back and rest."

Looking at the back of Lu Li's departure, Duan Lang always felt that there was something inside that he didn't know.

"My lord, how did you do that?"

"Don't say," Shangguan Yinling pretended to leave a sentence, and then turned back to the post station.

Good fellow, these two guys are playing dumb riddles with him.

But thankfully, they finally don't have to separate the Three Musketeers.

Duan Lang was quite happy to go to his good sister Xu Yun to buy dry food.
