Several children laughed for a while in Liu's Mansion, and then talked about hunting in Xishan, and talked about the interesting things they had encountered in Xishi, and the interesting stories they had heard, and several people laughed happily, but only Liu Ling pouted, pulled Liu Yao's sleeve, and said with a face full of grievances: "Why did you never take me when you went out?" ”

Liu Yao scratched his head in embarrassment: "When I go out, my father has to send someone to protect me, how can I be allowed to take you out?" ”

Liu Ling snorted and sat on the side silently. Seeing this, Liu Yao leaned over and said, "If you want to go out, I'll take you there." ”

Liu Ling's eyes lit up immediately when he heard this, and he was not angry, he looked at Liu Yao and said happily: "Do you want to go today?" ”

Liu Yao glanced at Yang Ting in embarrassment, and said: "It's not that I can't, it's just that I usually change my sister's dress as a boy when I go out, but I didn't change it when I came to our house today, and there is no kid of your age in this house, I'm afraid I can't find clothes." ”

"It's not in the way," Yang Xianrong immediately jumped out and said, "You two brothers can hunt bears, can't you protect us?" She dragged the arm of Yang Ting, who had not spoken for a long time, and begged with a flick: "Second brother, let's go, maybe we can meet Brother Ma Yu, I haven't seen him for a long time." ”

Hearing his sister mention Sima Shu, Yang Ting's expression changed, he heard that the prince was under house arrest when he was eating with people a few days ago, and then something happened in the palace, no one outside the palace dared to mention these, sometimes someone asked, and the people at the same table would immediately remind him to be careful of the wall with ears, so what is the situation of the prince now, Yang Ting doesn't know, he is very worried. Thinking of this, he nodded and agreed to Yang Xianrong's proposal.

Among these people, Yang Ting was the oldest, and since he nodded, Liu Yao didn't say anything anymore, and ordered someone to arrange a carriage, and a few people went to Xishi.

Sima Shu was not in the West Market, several people walked back and forth along the street a few times, but they didn't see Sima Shu's figure, except for Liu Lingdong who looked around and looked at him curiously, the other three were a little disappointed. Yang Ting's sense of uneasiness in his heart is even stronger, after all, among several people, he is the oldest, and he is also more concerned about the affairs of the court, except for the fact that he hopes that Yang Xianrong can enter the East Palace in the future, he and Sima Shu have also known each other for a long time, there are always some friends' feelings, and he doesn't want Sima Shu to have an accident.

Liu Yao and Yang Xianrong were still young and didn't care about the government, but they regretted not being able to see Sima Shu, so they lost the excitement when they first went out, and just accompanied Liu Lingdong to look west, trying to make a happy appearance.

After shopping for about an hour, Liu Ling's freshness also passed, so he yelled that he was hungry for a while, and yelled that he was tired for a while. As soon as they arrived at the door of a restaurant they had been to, a familiar voice came from behind them: "You come to play, but you don't always ask me." ”

A few people turned around, and Yang Xianrong shouted excitedly: "Brother Ma Yu." ”

I haven't seen him for many days, Sima Shu has lost some weight, and his face is a little tired. Looking at Sima Shu, Yang Ting had an indescribable feeling, when he saw him before, he always had a kind of extravagance, even if he was dressed ordinarily when he was in Xishan, but this nobility was difficult to hide. And when I saw him today, although he was wearing good clothes and expensive accessories, there was always a feeling that this pair of flesh and blood could not support this preciousness and was about to be crushed at all times.

When encountering changes, the change of people is instantaneous. Yang Ting shook his head, but before he could speak, Liu Yao spoke first: "Brother Ma Yu, why are you secretly in the hall?" ”

Sima Shu squeezed out a smile, and Yang Ting hurriedly stood in front of Liu Yao and said to Sima Shu: "Let's come in and eat something together, my sister misses you very much." ”

"That's it, Brother Ma Yu, I thought you weren't here today, why did you come so late?" Yang Xianrong pulled Liu Ling over with a smile and said to Sima Shu: "Let me introduce you to someone, she is Liu Ling, the younger sister of Liu Yao's brother, and also my good sister." ”

Sima Shu nodded at Liu Ling, then took Yang Xianrong's hand and walked towards the restaurant. As soon as he sat down, he looked at Yang Xianrong, smiled slightly, and said, "The first time I saw your girl's dress, I was a little more well-behaved." ”

Yang Xianrong didn't care about Sima Shu's praise, and only asked: "I haven't been here since I came back from Xishan, have you ever been here, Brother Ma Yu?" ”

Sima Shu's expression darkened slightly, and he shook his head: "Recently, something happened at home. ”

Yang Xianrong's eyes widened when he heard this, and he just wanted to find out, but Yang Ting interjected: "Let's not talk about it first, everyone is hungry, what do you want to eat?" ”

As soon as Yang Xianrong heard this, he quickly turned his face and discussed with Liu Ling about eating. After ordering some food, Yang Xianrong and Liu Ling went to the side to play again, and the remaining three people didn't say anything for a while, just sat quietly. Sima Shu is obvious to the naked eye has something on his mind, Yang Ting also frowned, he actually wants to inquire about the affairs in the palace, but he can only endure not to ask, firstly, Sima Shu does not know that he has guessed his identity, and secondly, this small restaurant with endless guests is indeed not a place to discuss things. As for Liu Yao, he looked at this and that for some reason, and didn't understand how the atmosphere could be so depressing, so he had to set his eyes on the two little girls, who were standing at the door holding hands, and two jugglers came outside the door, obviously they were attracted to the eyes.

At this time, a strong man came in from outside the door, eight feet tall, and there was a striking scar from the left eye downward, which made his already somewhat fierce face even more hideous, Yang Xianrong glanced at the man, and then pulled Liu Ling to the side silently took a few steps back, who knew that this action attracted the attention of the person, he lowered his head and glanced at the two little girls, frowned, waved his big hand, and roared: "Go away." ”

The person was loud, Yang Xianrong was so frightened that he took a few steps back, and then turned his head and ran, who knew that Xiao Er behind him was passing by with a pot of hot soup that had just come out of the pot, and Yang Xianrong happened to bump into Xiao Er. Just when the pot of hot soup was about to be poured on Yang Xianrong's body, a hand behind her pulled her away in time.

"Brother Yao." Yang Xianrong came back from the fright and found that the person who pulled him away was Liu Yao, and immediately patted his chest: "I'm scared to death." ”

Liu Yao was already paying attention to the movements of Yang Xianrong and Liu Ling, after the strong man murdered the two, he was about to step forward to theorize, and when he saw that Xiao Er was knocked into a stumbling position, he quickly reached out and pulled Yang Xianrong out. "Be careful." Liu Yao said.

As soon as the words fell, there was a cry next to him, Liu Yao and Yang Xianrong looked back, only to find that it was Liu Ling. Liu Ling was originally following Yang Xianrong, after the pot of hot soup fell, Yang Xianrong was pulled away, but her hand was splashed by a part of the hot soup, she was frightened just now, and only then did she feel the pain, and at a glance, her delicate little hands were already foaming.

When Yang Xianrong saw it, he was also anxious to cry, holding Liu Ling's hand and blowing vigorously. Seeing this, Liu Ling hurriedly wiped his tears for Yang Xianrong with his hand that was not burned, showed a smile, and said, "It's okay, it doesn't hurt." ”

Liu Yao saw that his sister was burned and had no rules, so he didn't know what to do for a while. At this time, Sima Shu and Yang Ting walked over, Sima Shu looked at Liu Ling's hand, and then looked at Liu Ling's face with teardrops, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped it for her, and said softly: "This injury is not serious, I will ask someone to buy some ointment for burns, and it will be fine if it is applied for two days, and it will not leave a scar." ”

Liu Ling looked at Sima Shu fixedly and nodded slightly.

Sima Shu instructed Xie An, who followed him, to look for a scald plaster, and he walked to the strong man and shouted: "How can you be so rude and scare the two little girls, not only hurting people, but also causing losses to the store." ”

"I didn't burn people, I didn't spill the soup, what's the matter with me?" The strong man saw that the person in front of him was only a child who was a few years older, and there were half-grown children around him, so he didn't pay attention to these people at all, and said, "Get out, don't disturb Lao Tzu to eat." ”

As soon as the words fell, the strong man was thrown to the ground, and it was the guard Peng Shiyi beside Sima Shu who did it, his figure was not thinner than the strong man, but he and Xie An were sitting at another table, Xie An was instructed to buy medicine, but he didn't move, secretly observing the movements around him, until the strong man said something disrespectful, he didn't move.

Of course, the strong man was not happy, so he got up and rushed towards Peng Shiyi, but the man had a body of horizontal meat, but he was a useless guy, and after being thrown by Peng Shiyi a few times, he couldn't get up again.

"Good skills." Yang Ting praised on the side.

"Next time you want to bully someone, also put the cover a little brighter." Sima Shu said disdainfully.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xie An ran in from outside with the ointment, and stood beside Sima Shu in a panic: "Why did the fight start?" Master, you're not hurt, are you? ”

Sima Shu shook his head, took the ointment and squatted in front of Liu Ling, gently applying the ointment to the wound little by little.

The people who were watching the excitement around gradually dispersed, but from the outside, a group of soldiers came in, seven or eight people lined up, and the leader glanced around and shouted, "Who is making trouble?" After asking, he turned his gaze to the center of the crowd that had not yet completely dispersed. One of the strong men fell to the ground in agony, one looked at the soldier with a wary face, and the rest of the children gathered together, some with tears in their eyes, some full of guard.

"Catch them all." The leader gave the order, and the people below were to arrest him.

Xie An saw that the situation was not right, so he pointed to the strong man on the ground and said to the leading soldiers, "What are you doing with us?" Arrest him. ”

"Grab them all and bring them back for trial slowly." The leading soldier ignored Xie An, but his words seemed to be answering Xie An's question.

When Peng Shiyi heard this, he stepped forward and grabbed the soldier's neck, and squeezed out a sentence from his throat: "You dare?" ”

"We are the city patrol army, the subordinates of the King of Chu, how dare you make a mistake?" The soldier was stiff by the neck, but he was not afraid.

Sima Shu's hand paused, and looked at Liu Ling: "Are you better?" Seeing that Liu Ling nodded, he stood up, walked in front of the soldier, and asked, "Uncle Huang's people?" ”

"Who are you?" The sentence "Uncle Huang" made the soldier restrain his arrogance.

Xie An hurriedly took out the token of the East Palace and said loudly: "This is the crown prince." ”
