In the midsummer of the fifth year of Zhenguan, the scorching sun hung high above the sky, sprinkling the scorching sun, and the earth was hot and dry. The road was covered with a layer of dust, and as the passing carriages rolled by, a cloud of yellow dust was raised.

The time has reached June, and it is the time of extreme heat, and the entire Tang Dynasty is also like this weather, looking impetuous, because of Cui's actions and because of the worries of the royal family. In order to deal with the possible family alliance in the future, Li Er secretly gave the troops stationed in various places a secret order to prepare for war. Datang is like a tight longbow, the situation is delicate and imminent, but the surface is calm like a pool of stagnant water, and the waves are not happy.

In this world, except for the Qinghe Cui family, the rest of the families are happy, even the rest of the five surnames and seven wangs are happy because of the olive branch suddenly thrown by the Cui family, because whether it is a big family or a small family, it is indeed a happy thing to be able to reach a marriage with a top big family like the Cui family. Because the big family will have a closer relationship with this powerful ally, and the small family will have a big backer. This is all very beneficial to them, how can they not be happy!

It's just that no one knows that the so-called teams sent by the Cui family are actually intelligence detective points, and they will inquire and inquire at their respective destinations if they have seen a teenager with two maids. As long as there is news, they will quickly go there, and then confirm that it is not the person they are looking for, and then carry out the interception mission that they hide in the depths of their hearts.

Li Kuan didn't know anything about this, because he didn't know that he had been targeted by the Qinghe Cui clan. So he still traveled leisurely and leisurely according to his established route. Although I walked slowly for more than a month, I still traveled a lot of places in the land of Guanzhong, or the majestic Dongyue Taishan. Or the beautiful scenery of the Yellow Mountain, as well as various historical famous places, such as the Three Kingdoms Chibi and so on, these places have left the footprints of the three people, or boating, or car, in short. Along the way, I lived a leisurely life between mountains and rivers.

Good things are always short-lived, and Li Kuan always misses the step he once had when he saw those magical and beautiful scenery, although the price was not high. But it has an ultra-clear camera, if you have a mobile phone or camera now, these beautiful scenery can be brought back to the palace for Li Lizhen and Yu Zhang to see. But now he can only think about it. Although he took charge of the skills of this body after the crossing. It's like being able to write with one hand and still be able to hold the brush characters, as well as the traditional characters of this era, etc., but the predecessor did not learn to paint, so Li Kuan didn't know anything about Chinese painting, let alone painting this wonderful landscape.

Although Red Sleeves is a master of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, Li Kuan doesn't want her to do it for her, because although Red Sleeves has already taken care of it, he can serve him by his side with peace of mind. But she is still not as intimate as Tianxiang, because she is already a big girl. has his own judgment ability, and many times he will disagree with Li Kuan's ideas. In a word, the two of them can't pee into the same pot, Li Kuan's thinking from later generations, although he has been assimilated by the Tang Dynasty in many places, but he still has his own subjective opinions, and Red Sleeves is too precocious, coupled with the environment in which she grew up, so that her view of the world always has her own unique perspective. So there is a big inconsistency between the two, and it may become better after having a tacit understanding in the future, but it is definitely not now. So Li Kuan didn't force this maid who didn't give much face to her master to paint those landscapes.

On this day, it was the hottest time in the afternoon, and a small boat docked on the edge of the Yellow River, which was already in Hebei Province and was about to enter the territory of the Cui clan of Qinghe. Here Li Kuan and they have been here, but they did not come here with the identity of Li Kuan, the king of Chu, but with the identity of Chu Liuxiang. That was two months ago, when they stayed here for a few days. I didn't expect to revisit the old place at this time, and I had a different mood.

At the beginning, it was with the mentality of playing, and out of spoofing, I came up with the name Chu Liuxiang. But I didn't expect it to be like this, Chu Liuxiang is now a wanted criminal in the Tang Dynasty, because he stole the Cui family's heirloom and killed the head of the Zheng family, and now he is the public enemy of all the families in the entire Tang Dynasty. And this qiē was only because Li Kuan wanted to imitate Gu Long's pen that the thief who stepped on the moon and left incense, so he did this thing. And now, he has regained his original identity, and he is the second prince of the Tang Dynasty, the current king of Chu canonized by the saint.

Wearing a gorgeous brocade robe and red sleeves, Tianxiang swaggered into a small county town by the river, which is a very small city, or just a town, but in this radius of dozens of miles, this is the largest population gathering point, because of the war in the past few years, the people of the Tang Dynasty have been scattered in all directions, or died in the war, or died of famine, in short, this land that raised the Chinese nation can be said to be vast and sparsely populated at this time, so this small town with a small population has also become a county seat.

Tianxiang stretched out her little hand and handed a few copper plates to the soldiers guarding the city, and then the three of them entered the city like this, but they didn't notice that when this group of soldiers saw the three of them again, their pupils shrank violently, and then they returned to their normal state. And, as the three of them left the city gate, the soldiers looked at each other, and then a slight smile flashed across their faces.

In a small inn, Li Kuan and the three of them first took a comfortable bath, and then instructed the innkeeper to bring the food to the room, which seemed very calm.

Li Kuan held a small wine glass, and slowly tasted the pot of turbid wine in his hand, although it was only brewed by the innkeeper himself, and it was secretly brewed, if he hadn't seen Li Kuan's generous hand, the boss would not necessarily have brought them this pot of wine. Because of this era, because the world has just settled down for a long time, coupled with the foreign races around them, the imperial court is very strict about grain, and only the imperial court has the right to use grain to make wine. Private brewing is punishable severely, and this article is even written into the Tang Law.

However, because sake brewing has a high profit value, it is not for the common people or the family. will brew by themselves, maybe the family and so on are brewed after the approval of the imperial court, and most of the people secretly brew wine by themselves, and then drink it themselves, as long as they don't sell it, then there will be no problem, because the people don't hold officials accountable. If no one speaks out, naturally no one will be looking for trouble.

Red Sleeves was sitting opposite Li Kuan at this time, wearing a pink skirt. The wide skirt reminded Li Kuan of the tail of a goldfish he had seen, which was almost like this when he was in the water, fluffy and full of three-dimensional beauty. It's just that whether he sees the red-sleeved skirt or the tail of a goldfish, Li Kuan just thinks it looks good. There is no such thing as three-dimensional beauty.

At this time, Red Sleeves had just bathed. The wet green silk is scattered behind the head, without powder, like a slim and extraordinary lotus flower in the clear water, and the pink dress is like the petals of the lotus. The whole person has that kind of pure natural, without the slightest artificial modification, Li Kuan can't help but look at his eyes.

Li Kuan's scorching eyes looked at the red sleeves unconsciously a little shy, and a faint peach color quietly climbed up her cheeks, and even spread to the droplet-like earlobes. The shy appearance is like a newlywed daughter-in-law. Although he felt shy, Red Sleeves still had a little pride in his heart. Because of his beauty, the expression that makes this guy stunned is really a sense of achievement! Meimu glanced at Li Kuan's face with disgust, and saw the pair of clear eyes, without the slightest lust. Some are just a kind of admiration, a kind of appreciation.

Li Kuan really doesn't have the slightest desire, because although the red sleeves in front of him are beautiful and delicious, Li Kuan didn't think about it so much, but for the first time, he felt that the women of the Tang Dynasty were plain-faced, compared to those beautiful stars who used cosmetics to cover up their flaws in later generations, and what otaku gods and goddesses were all real. At this moment, the feeling comes from the heart, and there is no lust in it.

"This guy isn't that bad!" Red Sleeves thought to herself, and her face turned even redder.

At this moment, Li Kuan suddenly threw the wine glass in his hand out of the window at once. But the moment the glass hit the window, it was shattered by a bright sword light.

"I didn't expect that His Royal Highness the King of Chu actually had such a high sense of vigilance, which is really admirable!" A masked man appeared at the window, and a horizontal knife in his hand pointed straight at Li Kuan, who was already waiting in the window. Drops of liquor on the tip of the knife were dripping, falling to the ground, and then quickly evaporating without a trace.

"Who are you, what do you mean by standing out of the window secretly?" Li Kuan stretched out his hand behind his back, there was his folding fan, his fan was not made purely for the sake of being handsome, in what looked like a rosewood fan bone was actually hidden in a small and delicate flying knife. It's the kind that was nailed to the pillow of the old Cui clan at the beginning. As long as he pulls the mechanism on the handle of the fan, he can take it out.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, I really didn't expect you to come here, it's really easy for us to find! Do you know that in order to find you, a group of our brothers have been running around the land in this level for more than half a month. You're really a dragon who can't see the end! The masked man said, waving his big hand, only to hear the sound of footsteps coming from the corridor outside the window, chaotic but layered, it can be seen that there are a lot of people and they are quite elite.

"There are quite a few people!" Li Kuan frowned, if he was the only one, he would be able to break through casually, but looking at the red sleeves and red-eyed Tianxiang who were already panicked, Li Kuan was helpless again. I knew that I wouldn't take the two girls with me, but now I'm being used to contain him.

But now is not the time to think about this, now should be to think about how to escape with the two maids.

"Don't try to run away, you know, this town is full of our people, so you can't escape!" The masked man smiled proudly, and then with a wave of his hand, Li Kuan's door was slammed open, and the door was crowded with men holding horizontal knives, but the clothes these people were wearing made Li Kuan's heart startled. How is it the standard clothing of the Tang soldiers? (To be continued......)
