Chapter 10: The Rising Waves

"You immediately send someone to Chang'an, report this matter, and find out who dares to attack this king here!" Li Kuan returned to the post station and instructed the commander of the guards.

"The last general commands!" The leader of the guards bowed down and went out to make arrangements.

Li Kuan walked briskly to the guest room behind the post station, Li Lizhen is still asleep there! When I got to the backyard, fortunately there was no one to attack here. Only the two palace ladies who served Li Lizhi were frightened, but they never left Li Lizhen's bed. Li Kuan nodded appreciatively, and then came to the bed.

Li Lizhi still slept very soundly, pouting her small mouth and blinking from time to time. The long hair is scattered and the cheeks are rosy because of the warmth, and the delicate face makes people feel amazing. At this time, the little girl was continuing her dream unconsciously, and the corners of Li Kuan's mouth curled up an arc, which was good.

It was night, and there were obviously a lot more guards guarding in front of Li Kuan and Li Li's room, and they were all waiting for each other, not daring to relax in the slightest. It wasn't until dawn that the commander of the guards breathed a sigh of relief, if something happened to these two of them, even if it was a piece of skin, they would probably be blamed.

"Is there any news?" Li Kuan got up early, washed and exercised, and sat in the lobby of the post station. The horizontal knife was removed from the waist and placed on the table. In front of him was a bowl of millet porridge and a plate of white-flour steamed buns. Just eating the pickles deliciously, seeing the commander of the guards waiting outside the courtyard, Li Kuan asked out loud.

"There is not the slightest useful information for the time being, and the few thieves who were killed have nowhere to find out their identities!" The commander of the guards said in a low voice.

"That is, who attacked this king last night. Disturbed Princess Changle, don't you know at all? Li Kuan was a little displeased, although only one night had passed, and the time was a little rushed. But these guards were all selected, and the search for clues was very familiar at the time, so how could they not have discovered them? And when the commander of the guards answered, he was obviously a little evasive and lacking in confidence, and it seemed that some things were hidden by him.

"Probably not! Really don't say it? Li Kuan's hand was gently placed on the scabbard on the table, and his voice was much colder.

"It's not that I don't say it, but I don't know where to start! All of them were disfigured. I can't see the face at all! The weapon in the hand is also not marked, how to find it? The commander of the guards clasped his hands into fists and bowed down.

"Forget it. I know it without saying it! Li Kuan groaned and said no more. Last night, the leader of the attackers exclaimed, 'Something is on him!' Li Kuan understood that those people actually discovered his arrangement, and dared to come here to intercept and kill him at the risk of the world, these people were really bold. Or is there fearlessness?

Li Kuan's mind was spinning. At the same time, I thought of another possibility, these people may not be here for that thing, but someone took the opportunity to make trouble and wanted to get rid of themselves. So who will it be? How many brothers are you? Or someone else? Li Kuan thought a lot but didn't have the slightest clue, some things you may guess, but you can't say it, there is no evidence, everything must be carried out according to the established rules. Therefore, Li Kuan can only think about this speculation in his own heart, and he can't announce it. Even if you say it. It's just asking for trouble and being caught by others.

"Forget it, you can continue to look it up. The identities of these people must not be simple, and their skills are not like ordinary people! must be the elite of the army, or a dead soldier in captivity by a big family. Li Kuan no longer dwelled on these things, picked up the millet porridge and took a sip gently.

"No!" The commander of the guards put down the big stone in his heart and bowed down to promise.

"Go ahead! Today we are going back to Chang'an City, this qiē must have been known by the emperor, what to do is to let the old man make a decision! Li Kuan said, stood up, and turned back to the backyard.

Li Lizhi opened her eyes and found herself lying in a strange room, covered with a warm quilt, and felt a pang of hunger in her stomach.

"Where is this?" Li Lizhi asked out loud.

"Princess Huiyu, this is a post station fifty miles away from Chang'an City!" Gong E, who was waiting on the side, immediately replied.

"Where's the second brother?" Li Lizhi remembered that before falling asleep, she was on the sleigh pulled by Xiao Gray with her second brother Li Kuan, and then she fell asleep in her second brother's arms in a daze, and woke up here.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu is enjoying the snow in the garden!" Gong E replied softly. A lot of things happened last night, Li Kuan has been waiting in front of Li Li's room for almost two hours before resting, and he got up early in the morning to train, this His Royal Highness the King of Chu is really hard. The two palace ladies have a certain affection for this prince who has no shelf, and feel that their princess is very happy to have such a brother who loves her.

The Imperial Palace Ouchi has always been a filthy place.,Although the master of his family is the favorite daughter of the saint.,But because of the favor, there are many hostile to her.。 Many people want to see her have some problems, even if in front of the saint, they and their masters are close sisters, but the more this is the case, the more Li Lizhi feels cold in her vest. As Li Lizhen's personal maid, the two are no strangers to these at all. At this time, if there is a firm ally, preferably a strong prince, there will be the greatest security.

Now the saint is at the age of the dragon spirit and the tiger, so all the small means are carried out quietly in secret, otherwise it will cause Long Yan to be furious, and no one will be able to eat and walk around. This kind of turbulent scene is now getting more and more intense, at the beginning, all the princes and princesses are still not very old, they don't know much, and everyone can still play happily together. But in the past few years, everyone has understood the reason, but it seems to be divided, and the family affection seems very thin in front of those interests.

"Let's go, go find the second brother!" Li Lizhi got up from the bed, put on her clothes with the help of Gong E, and then went to find Li Kuan.

The snowflakes fluttered, and the light figure swirled in the wind. Quietly falling on the treetops, slowly accumulating into a snow-white layer. Li Kuan stood under the tree, looking at the falling snowflakes, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart. Another year has passed, ten years, and it will be ten years soon. Time flies! In my memory, my mother's face had become a little blurred, but the eyes with deep concern were becoming clearer and clearer, and even deeply engraved in my heart.

"Second brother, what are you thinking?" A crisp voice interrupted Li Kuan's thoughts, Li Lizhi walked out of the room, and saw Li Kuan standing in the snow, there were already some snowflakes on his body, it seemed that he had been standing for a long time, and there was even a little ice armor on his armor.

"Lizhi, did you sleep well last night?" Li Kuan smiled, his handsome face was busy with a little vicissitudes, and he looked at the pretty woman who walked over quickly.

"I slept comfortably!" Li Lizhi also smiled and replied with a smile on the corner of her mouth.

"Such a big girl, I don't know how to take care of myself, look at this mess!" Li Kuan stretched out his hand, and his five fingers gently stroked the scattered green silk on Li Liqian's head.

"Second brother, can you help Lizhi comb her hair again?" Li Li said coquettishly, holding Li Kuan's arm with her little hand.

"Really, I can't stand you!" Li Kuan's cold hand gently scraped twice on her upturned little nose, and then said with a smile.

"Okay...... Li Li shook Li Kuan's arm coquettishly.

"Go back to the room and sit down, the second brother will help you comb your hair!" Li Kuan reluctantly withdrew his arm, having said that I haven't been so close to this little girl for a long time, the last time was two or three years ago, when Li Er had just ascended the throne, and the family had not yet completely entered their respective states, and Li Lizi was still a little bit more important. But it's been a few years in the blink of an eye.,The original little Lori has become the slim girl she is now.,I know more and become a student.。

In the humble room, a small dresser was placed on the table, and a brass bronze mirror was polished so that people could see it clearly, although the number of the line was not necessarily visible. In this era, there was glass, but it was mostly colored glass. It was far from the standard for making zuò mirrors, so copper mirrors became a must-have for women's makeup. The small comb itself exudes a refreshing faint fragrance, which seems to be agarwood and yellow pear.

After Li Kuan entered the house, he shook his body, patted the snow off his body, and then let Li Lizhi sit in front of the bronze mirror, untied the pink ribbon she tied on her head, and her long soft hair poured down her back like a waterfall. The ten fingers gently plucked, smooth like silk, almost impossible to grasp.

picked up the comb in the dresser, and combed the little girl's hair at once, and the smooth hair slid between Li Kuan's ten fingers, combing to the end, without the slightest sense of stagnation.

Li Lizhi felt Li Kuan's movements, her pretty face was quiet, she closed her eyes, her face was full of nostalgia, but a tear quietly slid down the corner of her eye, leaving a faint tear stain.

The atmosphere became soothing at this moment, what was attacked, what was returned, it was not so important at this moment, the two of them just enjoyed the proximity between their hearts at this moment, no need to express themselves, no eye contact, just quietly feel each other.

But no matter what, time still doesn't stand still for a moment, and what should be faced is still to be faced. Although they can steal a moment and a half of leisure, they still have to return to their respective life tracks, so under the urging of Gong E, Li Kuan put down the comb and tied the little girl's hair with a ribbon, only binding the middle bunch, and the rest were scattered, this is Li Kuan's favorite hairstyle, although it does not look dignified like the women of this era, but there is a different kind of free and easy. This hairstyle was originally called a lazy hairstyle by Li Lizhi. Because it's so simple, just grab a strand of hair in the middle and tie it up, such a hairstyle is really lazy and outrageous. But looking at it now, this hairstyle makes her feel more cordial, with a nostalgic smile on her face, and a coquettish thank you in her mouth, which is soft and free and easy.

"Okay, it's time to go, I'll be in Chang'an today!" Li Kuan shook off those meaningless thoughts and walked straight out of Li Lizhen's room. When he came to the official road, he began to put a rope on the little gray ash, and the big dog was good, and he ran much faster than a horse-drawn sleigh. (To be continued......)
