As the sun set, Li Xiu said goodbye to Ma Ye and Qin Qiong, carrying a fishing rod in one hand and preparing to go home with today's harvest in the other.

The fishing place was very close to Li Xiu's house, and it was only a few minutes to walk, but when he was still a few hundred meters away from his home and could see the gate of his house when he turned a corner in front of him, he suddenly turned his head, and as a result, on the official road on the other side of the river, he saw a dusty and inconspicuous horse-drawn carriage.

When he saw this carriage, Li Xiu couldn't help frowning, because it was not the first time he had seen this carriage, in fact, whether he was going to the academy, or going to the river to fish, or entering Chang'an City for something, he often saw this amazing carriage not far from him, and he didn't pay attention to it at first, but he saw it more times, which made him also alert, and today he saw this familiar carriage nearby.

Looking at the carriage in the distance, Li Xiu couldn't help frowning, and beckoned at the moment, and the head of the guard beside him immediately ran forward, and then Li Xiu pointed to the carriageway on the other side of the river: "Have you found out the origin of this carriage?" ”

"This ......" The head of the guard also showed a hesitant expression at the moment, since Li Xiu discovered this suspicious carriage, he naturally began to send people to investigate, but now seeing the appearance of the head of the guard, it is obvious that he has not been able to investigate anything.

"Then what have you all investigated, you can't have nothing to investigate, right?" Li Xiu frowned again and asked.

"Master Qiqi, we have been investigating the origin of this carriage for this time, but before you instructed us to investigate secretly, not too publicly, we can only send people to follow this carriage secretly, and we dare not stop them, but I didn't expect that the owner of this carriage seems to be very powerful, and every time our people follow them, they will be discovered, either they will escape by going into the alley, or several identical carriages will suddenly appear, making it impossible to distinguish the true from the fake." The head of the guard was also very helpless at this time.

Li Xiu also showed a thoughtful expression when he heard the words of the head of the guard, although he didn't know the origin of this carriage, but since he dared to follow him, he must have a lot of background, otherwise ordinary people would not have the courage to do it, and he could get rid of the people he sent out to inquire about the news in Chang'an, which is not something that ordinary people can do.

"Master, the carriage has left, do you want your subordinates to send someone to follow you again?" At this moment, he suddenly only heard the head of the guard remind, and he had not made any progress in sending people to follow him several times, which made the head of the guard very unwilling.

Li Xiu also looked up at the opposite bank at this time, and sure enough, he found that the carriage began to speed away, which made him silent for a moment but shook his head and said: "Forget it, the owner of this carriage seems to have come prepared, and it may be useless for you to follow him any longer." ”

As Li Xiu's words fell, the carriage finally disappeared on the official road, and Li Xiu didn't bother to pay attention to the other party, although the carriage had a strange origin, but it didn't do anything out of the ordinary for the time being, and he believed that the other party would definitely appear again, and sooner or later one day he would catch the other party's feet.

Li Xiu was ready to rest at night, and today it was his turn to be in Princess Pingyang's room, and after the two of them washed, Princess Pingyang asked at this time: "I heard that my husband has encountered that strange carriage again, do you want to send more people to track it down, or ask Uncle Ma to borrow the power of Feinusi." ”

"That's not necessary, it's just a rat with his head and tail hidden, there is no need to make a big move, and although there is no evidence, I always feel that the other party doesn't seem to have any malicious intent." Li Xiu said with a smile at this time, the last sentence was not to comfort Princess Pingyang, but to really feel that although the carriage was following him everywhere, it seemed that there was really no malice.

Hearing Li Xiu say this, Princess Pingyang had no choice but to nod and say, "Okay, but husband, you still have to be careful when you go out during this time, and don't go too far, so as not to have another accident like last time." ”

The last time Princess Pingyang said was Li Xiu who was ambushed and assassinated, and Li Xiu almost died that time, although it has been a long time, Princess Pingyang still has palpitations, and every time she thinks about it, she feels afraid.

Hearing his wife's advice, Li Xiu also felt a warmth in his heart, and gently held her in his arms at the moment, and Princess Pingyang also fell on her husband's chest softly, the two have been married for many years, and love has slowly become family affection, although there is less passion, but it makes the relationship between the two more stable and tight.

In the next few days, Li Xiu didn't go out, and he didn't need to give lectures at the main academy for the time being, Ma Ye and Qin Qiong made an appointment to go hunting in Nanshan, so Li Xiu stayed at home to accompany his family, and by the way, he taught the children at home.

It is worth mentioning that since Li Zhi came back, the eldest grandson Wuji began to pay more attention to Li Zhi, usually not only shushing him and asking for warmth, but also sent a lot of things to Li Zhi, Li Zhi often complained to Li Xiu, saying that he felt that his uncle was weird recently, which made him very uncomfortable, and Li Xiu could only smile bitterly at this, and the mind of the eldest grandson Wuji was naturally not something that a child as old as Li Zhi could understand.

It was another warm winter day, Li Xiu stayed at home and felt a little depressed, just now the temperature is still too low, and the river surface of the Yellow Canal has not been frozen, so he brought a fishing rod and came to the river to prepare to fish to kill time, although Ma Ye is not there, but fishing is not suitable for too many people, a person can be more quiet.

Although the river has not yet frozen, but the temperature is already quite low, Li Xiu came to the river, lit the charcoal stove he brought, and then fished while boiling tea, roasted on the fire when it was cold, and drank hot tea to warm up his body by the way, but he was also very free.

However, when Li Xiu was fishing, he suddenly saw a familiar carriage slowly coming on the official road across the river, which made Li Xiu look up at the carriage, don't look at Li Xiu now It seems that Li Xiu is sitting here alone, but in fact, there are a lot of guards around to protect him, so he is not worried about his safety at all.

In the past, this carriage was kept at a considerable distance from Li Xiu, but today it was different, I saw the other party coming from the official road, and finally stopped directly on the bank of the river opposite Li Xiu, and he was only across a river, and Li Xiu also quietly looked at the window of the carriage at this time, and it seemed that the people in the carriage were going to be honest with him.
