"Princess, you are so beautiful, can I kiss you?" Li Xiu stared at Princess Pingyang's jade-like face and said softly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Hmm." Princess Pingyang nodded very shyly, and the fishtail behind her was also gently swinging.

"Wait, Fishtail?" Li Xiu suddenly realized that something was wrong, Princess Pingyang's lower body turned into the shape of a fishtail, looking like a legendary mermaid.

"Gong ...... Princess, why do you have a tail? Li Xiu swallowed a mouthful of spit and asked in a dry voice, this is simply ridiculous, and even makes him wonder if he is dreaming?

"Giggle~, because I'm the princess of the mermaid clan!" Princess Pingyang smiled mischievously at this time, "And I not only have a tail, but also a beard." ”

When Princess Pingyang said the end, she suddenly grabbed her face with both hands and pulled it suddenly, revealing a big face with a curly beard, baring her teeth and smiling at him, it was the bearded guest who held him hostage.

"Ah~" Li Xiu screamed in fright and turned over and sat up, only to find that he was still in the cabin, which also made him wipe his cold sweat and breathe a long sigh of relief, "It's really a dream, it scared me to death!" ”

"Hehe, I finally woke up, can I sleep comfortably?" At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind Li Xiu, and when Li Xiu turned his head, he just saw the hateful smiling face of the bearded guest.

"Thanks to your old man, I had a nightmare!" Li Xiu glanced at the bearded guest and said, he still regarded him as an elder before, but he didn't expect him to do something to hold him hostage, it's just a beast!

"Hehe, since you've woken up, let's get off the boat, you kid has slept really long this night, and the sun should go down if you don't go." I saw the bearded guest pouring himself a drink, and I don't know when, there was a table of wine and food in front of him.

"Disembark? Have you already reached the Yellow River, how can you be so fast? Li Xiu was also stunned when he heard this, he remembered that the bearded guest said that he would change the big boat when he arrived at the Yellow River, and now he heard him let him get off the boat, so Li Xiudi's reaction was to go to the Yellow River, but this was too fast, and he just fell asleep, and it is said that the river should not be so short.

"It's America!" The bearded guest glared at Li Xiu angrily and said.

"Americas?" Li Xiu, who had just woken up, was still a little unconscious, so he shook his head and got up, opened the cabin and took a look, but found that the boat had stopped, and it was leaning against the shore, in front of him was a verdant field, and some villages could be faintly seen in the distance.

"Get off the boat!" At this moment, the bearded guest suddenly pushed Li Xiu from behind, and as a result, he involuntarily got off the boat, and then saw the bearded guest walk to the bow of the boat and said to him again, "Boy, this time I really have to leave, I don't know when I will come back to the Americas, take care of yourself, and don't hate your father too much!" ”

"This ...... Uncle, what's going on, aren't you going to take me to sea? Li Xiu still asked a little confused.

"You really believe it, I'll tease you, okay, you can find a way to go back by yourself, I'm leaving!" The bearded guest waved his hand relaxedly, turned around and entered the cabin after speaking, and then slowly sailed away from the shore under Li Xiu's stunned gaze.

"Kidding me?" It wasn't until then that Li Xiu reacted, muttered to himself at the moment, and then yelled at the boat in annoyance, "What do you mean, did you hold me hostage to the ship yesterday just to make a joke, is there such a boring person as you?" ”

Li Xiu was really angry, after all, after knowing that he was held hostage yesterday, he racked his brains to find a way to escape, and said all the good and bad things, but the bearded guest was unmoved, but now it's good, he actually said "tease you" and it was over, he actually did such a bad thing, isn't he afraid of being struck by lightning?

Hearing Li Xiu's roar, the bearded guest who was about to enter the cabin suddenly stopped and turned around, staring at Li Xiu with complicated eyes, and finally spoke again: "Xiu'er, listening to the meaning of your words, it seems that I am still a little disappointed, or I really hold you hostage, and then go to sea together?" ”

Li Xiu was frightened when he heard this, and even took a few steps back, and the anger on his face immediately disappeared, and he changed to a very respectful expression and saluted: "Uncle has a good journey, and my nephew is waiting for you to return safely in Chang'an. ”

Seeing Li Xiu jump like thunder just now, he became gentle like jade in the blink of an eye, which made the bearded guest on the ship laugh and scolded: "I don't know who you kid looks like, but this shameless look doesn't have to worry that you will suffer!" ”

For the bearded guest's words, Li Xiu smiled, and then continued to maintain a saluting posture, watching the bearded guest's boat gradually move away. But at this moment, I saw Li Xiu suddenly take a few steps forward and said loudly: "Uncle, in fact, the little nephew is still very interested in overseas, if you don't dislike it, the little nephew is very willing to go with you!" ”

"Boy, talk to the point, you stand still, I'll pick you up now!" The bearded man at the bow immediately responded, and his boat rowed again.

Seeing the boat rowed back, Li Xiu turned around and ran, shouting loudly as he ran: "Uncle, please go back, I thought about it carefully just now, and I think it's good to wait for you in Chang'an!" ”

"Stinky boy, don't let me see you again, otherwise I won't have your good fruit to eat!" Looking at Li Xiu, who was running away, he scolded politely, and then couldn't help laughing, probably he was also amused by Li Xiu's shameless appearance.

However, just when the bearded guest was crying and laughing, he suddenly saw Li Xiu, who had run away, turned back again, but he didn't dare to approach the shore, and shouted far away: "Uncle, the atlas of crops such as potatoes and sweet potatoes is still at my house, how can I send it to you?" ”

"Put it in your house, I'll send someone to pick it up in a few days!" The bearded guest thought that Li Xiu had changed his sex again, but he didn't expect that he was angry at the moment for this matter.

"Good! You always walk slowly, and your nephew won't send it! After Li Xiu finished speaking, he ran away again, and this time he ran faster than just now, it seemed that he was really afraid that the bearded man would get off the boat and catch him back.

Li Xiu ran out for nearly a mile in one go, and then he stopped out of breath, turned his head to see that he didn't find any signs of the bearded guest chasing him, and then finally put his mind at ease.

The bearded guest suddenly let him go, Li Xiu had two conjectures about this, the first is that the bearded guest really just wanted to play a joke with him, after all, Li Xiu had fooled people to the Americas, and as revenge, it was normal for the bearded guest to pretend to hold Li Xiu hostage. The second is that the bearded guest actually really wanted to take him overseas, but for some reason, he changed his mind overnight, so he let him go.

For the above two conjectures, Li Xiu is more inclined to the second one, especially when he deliberately said that he changed his mind and wanted to go to sea just now, the bearded guest immediately turned around and returned, which also made him more determined in his thoughts, it seems that when he sees the bearded guest again in the future, he must be careful, it is best to find a bodyguard like Qin Qiong to follow, otherwise he will have to catch crabs overseas if he is not careful.

After gasping for a while, Li Xiu straightened up and continued to walk, I don't know where it is, except for the fields or fields around, Li Xiu can only walk along the country road, fortunately, you can see the hard farmers working in the fields from time to time, Li Xiu came to a kind-looking old farmer not far away and asked loudly: "Uncle, where is this place?" ”

"Yang Village!" The old man wiped the sweat from his face and replied very simply.

"......" Li Xiu was speechless, the ghost only knew where Yang Village was, and it was estimated that the other party regarded him as a local, so he had to ask again, "Uncle, I want to ask if this place is far from Chang'an, and how to get to Chang'an?" ”

"Chang'an?" I saw that the old man stopped and thought about it at this time, and then pointed to the east and replied, "Follow this path to the west for two or three miles, there will be an official road, and you can reach Chang'an by going south along the official road!" ”

"Thank you, sir!" Li Xiu was also very happy when he heard this, and immediately saluted the old farmer as a thanks, and then strode to the west.

Walking out of two or three miles, I really saw a straight official road, the so-called official road, in fact, is the main road built by the imperial court, but it is not compared with the national road of later generations, the official road is actually a dirt road, it was smashed very solid when it was built, even if it rains, you can barely move forward, but with the passage of time, the official road will become dilapidated, for example, the so-called official road in front of Li Xiu, the middle of the road has been pressed out of two deep ruts, the rain some time ago has not completely dried up, and it is full of mud.

Li Xiu walked all the way along this official road, relatively speaking, this official road is still very lively, you can see pedestrians passing by from time to time, and sometimes you can even see a large number of cars and horses, but most of these people are coming, and Li Xiu can't do it if he wants to take a ride.

Seeing that it was getting late, Li Xiu also felt tired and hungry at this time, you must know that he only had a meal last night, and from this morning to now, he has not eaten a drop of water, and what is worse is that Li Xiu is penniless, which cannot be blamed on him, the ancient copper coins are too heavy, so as long as he does not go far, Li Xiu does not have the habit of bringing money.

"What can I do, do I have to sleep in the wilderness today?" Li Xiu looked at the sunset in the distance, and said to himself helplessly at the moment, and at the same time couldn't help complaining in his heart, you said that you should leave me and find a good place, at least closer to Chang'an, so that you can go home. However, when I thought that the bearded guest was fooled by myself into going to the Americas, and I could at least stay in Datang, I really felt much better when I thought about it.

Just when Li Xiu was anxious, he suddenly only heard the sound of scattered horses' hooves behind him, Li Xiu hurriedly turned his head to look, only to see a team of cavalry coming slowly from behind, which also made him happy, and hurriedly rushed forward to stop the cavalry and said loudly: "Li Xiu, the priest of the women's army, is here, and please come out to see the general who led the team!" ”

Li Xiu showed his identity naturally because he wanted this cavalry to take him for a ride, after all, everyone is a member of the army, and the women's army is the elite of Datang, so the other party should give this face.

Hearing Li Xiu's words, this group of knights with a large number of people also stopped immediately, and then someone reported to the back, and after a while, he saw a very strange veteran riding a horse in front of Li Xiu, looked him up and down a few times, and then said in surprise: "You are Li Xiu?"
