I really forgot something......

In the carriage, Li Xian's tiredness swelled up, his hands turned unconsciously, and this thought flashed through his mind in a daze.

Sanniang on her side turned around, the quilt slipped off, Li Xian hurriedly covered it for her, and stroked Sanniang's sideburns lovingly. She is tired these days, and she is by her side every day, always vigilant and secure, which is too draining. Siniang is young and can bear it, but Sanniang is no longer a little girl, and she falls asleep in this afternoon.

Lift up the corner of the car curtain, look out through the thick car window, in front of the wide river, a hill in the middle of the river, pavilions and pavilions on the mountain, red walls and green tiles, a pagoda towering. The mountain is the golden mountain, the temple is the golden mountain temple, the legend says that the white lady fights the sea, and it is this golden mountain temple that is drowned.

The car is stationed in the town of Jiangxi Jindu, and the north of the river is the Guazhou ferry of Yangzhou. Li Xian went to Yangzhou according to the itinerary to preside over the inauguration ceremony of Huaiyang College.

Jiangnan only had Longmen College earlier, but after the recovery, Suzhou College, Hangzhou College, and Jinling College were built one after another, absorbing Jiangnan scholars with Tiandao learning. Huaiyang College in Yangzhou is the first college built by Yinghua in Jiangbei, and he, the emperor, naturally wants to come and encourage him in person to appease the heart of Jiangnan scholars

Lowering the car curtain, the car door rang, and Yu Hanyi, who was temporarily the commander of the inner court guards, stretched his head in, and was about to open his mouth, when Li Xi and the maid in the car made a silent gesture at the same time.

Instructed the maid to take care of Sanniang, Li Xi got out of the car and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

At this time, the dock of the ferry was blocked by black-clothed police officers layer by layer, covering Li Xi's car. More than a dozen carriages, two or three hundred accompanying guards and officials of the inner court, just to hurry, there is no need to sound the gong to open the way, and Zhang Yang Luan drives. Only in the name of the Jiangnan camp, the local police force was dispatched to escort it.

Xijin Ferry is the main road from north to south of the river, and outside the cordon, there are still many people who are about to cross the river. Li Xi and his entourage only occupied the ferry wharf for two or three minutes, which was not too disturbing to the people.

Yu Hanyi said: "There seem to be thieves among the people, and there is a bit of chaos, and the history of the Dan Migration Classics begs all the people to be driven out of the ferry." ”

This matter belongs to security, the Sanniang decides, since she is taking a nap, Li Xi will take it.

Li Xi asked, "Is it really a bandit?" ”

Yu Hanyi shook his head: "When I saw the police officer, I ran and took it, but I didn't find anything." ”

Most of them are ordinary people who are afraid of officials, Li Xian didn't think about it and vetoed the request of Dan Xidianshi. Just as I was about to enter the car, the breeze was blowing, and I felt that my brain had awakened a lot, and my leisure came up. It will take some time for the car to get on the boat, and Guazhou Ferry has to make preparations, and he wants to taste the taste of "Weifu Private Visit".

"This ...... Yes, that's going to bring people. ”

Hearing Li Xi say that he wanted to talk to the people, Yu Hanyi was dissatisfied, and Li Xi also hummed dissatisfied, and reluctantly took the order and left.

After a while, a pair of father-daughter people brought over, all of them were ordinary clothes, the man was in his thirties, and the little girl was in her early tens, with beautiful eyebrows.

Leaving the man behind, the female guard took the little girl to Li Xian. Look at the little girl's little face, tears wrapped in her eyes, and her body trembling slightly, it is a sign of extreme fear, Li Shi tried his best to make his posture and voice soft and casual.

"Little girl, what's your name?"

"Xu ......"

The little girl almost said her real name, but thinking of her master's instructions and her father's admonition, she changed her words in time.

"Xu ...... Fifth sister. ”

said the name that will be used in the future, Xu Fudi No, Xu Wumei gradually calmed down, maybe it was the reason why the old man in front of her was too kind. No one in her life had ever spoken to her in such peaceful words. It's either cursing and scolding, or flattering sycophants, and the master occasionally ・・・・・・

Thinking of Master, Xu Wumei's eyes turned red again, and the old man in front of her, who was younger than her father, was asking, "Where do you live?" Where to cross the river? ”…,

Still have to check!? Xu Wumei felt that the fluff on the back of her neck stood up. My father said all day long that he must not reveal his identity, and it is still a trivial matter to be arrested by the government and Ling Chi, and he will not be able to fulfill the entrustment of the holy girl, but he will be rejected by his mother.

Xu Wumei was afraid of this, so she closed her mouth tightly and gritted her teeth, her eyes on the ground.

Ay...... Scared......

Li Xian couldn't bear it, and in the face of this little girl, a sense of familiarity rose.

"A native of Kunshan, Suzhou, said that he went to Huai'an to join his family, the location is everyone, there are no foreign objects on his body, and his accent is not bad・・・・・・ I am afraid that he was frightened by the chaos of Jiangnan before, and he ran away when he saw the people of the government."

Yu Hanyi whispered the report on the history of the Dan Migration Classics, in recent years, the Yinghua and Manchu Qing have fought openly and secretly in the south of the Yangtze River, and the turmoil is endless, and the people have also suffered a lot, and there are many people who are afraid of the Yinghua government. Before the army entered Songjiang, the people in the center of Fucheng were ten rooms and nine empty, and they thought that the red-clothed soldiers were going to have another explosion in the gunpowder bureau, and they waited for many days, but there was no movement, and then they returned home one after another.

Li Xian had no intention of digging into the background of the father and daughter, but he was just out of curiosity and wanted to talk to the local people, but when he saw that the little girl was frightened by herself, she was a little at a loss.

I was thinking about how to comfort the little girl, but I saw the little girl suddenly stare at her hand, and a longing mixed with surprise broke through the tears and was clearly revealed.

This is...... Hey? Why is this thing still in my hand?

Li Shi looked at the lollipop in his hand, what was commonly known as "candy lollipop" at the moment, and his forehead was slightly sweaty.

Sending the candy stick forward, with inquiry in her eyes, the little girl was short of breath, her pale face was flushed, and her throat swallowed saliva involuntarily.

Candy lollipop・・・・・・ looking at the red, red, blue and blue sugar coating, it seems that it is still a blessing.

She had eaten, but only licked one bite. It was a few months ago, when the merchant entered the village, my father bought it for six yuan, and he could buy a liter of rice.

Daddy bought it for his younger brother to eat, and his younger brother ate a small piece on the ground, she took advantage of her father's inattention, secretly picked it up and ate it, remembering the feeling of entering the mouth at that time, it was so sweet and fragrant・・・・・・

A few days ago, there was also a merchant who entered the village, and she, who was already a little holy aunt, wanted to ask her "Dharma Protector Father" for money and buy candy from the merchant.

The merchant didn't know where he went, and the things in the cargo were also distributed to everyone by the master, there was sugar, but the master said that he couldn't eat demonic things, there was demonic energy. She was very unconvinced, the demonic spirit is stinky, just like the smell of the village, and such a sweet thing, how can there be a demonic spirit?

The little girl fell into memory, her eyes were slightly closed, the corners of her mouth were upturned, and three large and small crescents were placed on her face.

The old man ・・・・・・No, the uncle handed the candy lollipop to her chest again, and seemed to feel uncomfortable in the posture, and squatted down again. The two of them looked at each other, and a pair of gentle and deep pupils just wrapped around her mind, and with the candy lollipop, it instantly melted away all her mental defenses.

"Take it, it's sweet."

As the uncle said this, the mustache on his lips also moved, more like a beard talking, and the little girl wanted to laugh a little, and said with a little unwillingness to be looked down upon, I know! I also know that this is the Book of Heavenly Blessings!

Can...... Can it really be?

Then she hesitated, and her uncle squinted and smiled, and the candy lollipop leaned forward again, and the little girl's heart swept over the treasure like a bird pecking at its bait. The little hand trembled slightly, peeled off the sugar coating, and sent the amber-like sugar into the small mouth.

Ahh......h The heart is going to melt......

Looking at the little girl's well-behaved appearance with her eyes closed and satisfied to the extreme, the familiar feeling took Li Xian through time and space, to Yingde Fengtian Village, where he first came to this world. At that time, Guan No, Second Sister Guan, was also like this, eating the fine noodles and steamed buns she shared. …,

This little girl and the second sister Guan seemed to overlap together, which made Li Xiansheng feel a deep pity, and he stroked the top of the little girl's head with his middle palm, rubbing it softly.

"Is it delicious?"

"Woo ......"

"Do you want more?"

"Woo ......"

When Li Shi's hand left the top of her head, the feeling of satisfaction suddenly lost the warmth, and the little girl opened her eyes, and then understood what had happened. She was ten years old, vaguely understood something, and suddenly became nervous, and the nature she had just indulged was like a frightened cat, and she suddenly shrank into the shadows.

"Uncle...... Master? ”

I don't understand why this uncle is so good to her, and I am afraid of the physical contact just now, and men and women don't kiss each other, and my father and mother say it every day.

Uncle smiled and said, "Uncle is a good person and likes to see others happy, are you ・・・・・・ happy?" ”

Xu Wumei hesitated, happy, she really didn't know what happiness was before, even when the master stroked the top of her head, it didn't seem to be happy, but if happiness was sweet...

Xu Wumei nodded repeatedly, at least now she is happy.

Uncle rubbed her little head again and said with a smile: "Then I will live happily from now on, and let your father and the people around you be happy." ”

This uncle's eyes are so bright and deep, Xu Wumei didn't dare to look at each other anymore, but this sentence followed the unforgettable sweetness of the candy lollipop and penetrated into the depths of her heart.

Li Xi got up, the female guard helped the little girl to leave, and the little girl turned back as she walked, with a trace of attachment in her eyes.

"That old man is such a weirdo......"

Xu San took a bag of things handed over by the guards, led Xu Wumei into the crowd, and wiped his sweat as he walked.

"So much sugar!? Little Holy Aunt, you can't eat it anymore, it's demonic! And silver, that's great

When he opened the bag, Xu San hated and was happy, and he didn't allow the fifth sister to say anything, so he threw the candy into the ditch on the side of the road. Even if the little saint aunt was teary-eyed, he didn't care. The Holy Aunt instructed that the little Holy Aunt should take over her mantle, and she must not be stained by demonic energy.

"I want to be happy・・・・・・ uncle said, to be happy, in order to be a good person・・・・・・"

Xu Wumei held back her tears, wrapped the sugar-coated candy stick in a slippery meal, and put it away on her body, this is her treasure, she will hide it for the rest of her life.

After a long time, the old man dispersed, and the father and daughter got on the ferry and headed north.

"Dad, let's laugh......"

"I'm not your father, little aunt ......"

In this way, Mi Wuniang's apprentice Xu Wumei went to the north, and a few months later, in the routine information of the Military Intelligence Department about the northern cult, there was such a person as the Five Holy Niangniang of the Wenxiang Sect.

Of course, Li Xi didn't know that he had rubbed shoulders with the future White Lotus Holy Aunt, and when he arrived at the Guazhou Ferry, the general political envoy who had been here early sent a newspaper to the camp, and his heartstrings shook, and he realized that he had passed by the White Lotus Holy Aunt in the past.

At this time, Sanniang also woke up, lazy waist, saw Li Xian's frowns, and asked, "What are you thinking?" ”

Li Xian said leisurely: "A while ago, I always felt that I had forgotten something, and I remembered it just now. ”

His eyes were calm, as if he was worried, and Sanniang also raised his heart, what is the big deal?

"Today is February 17th, tomorrow is a big day, I wanted to give myself a good score before that big day, to see if I passed, but I didn't expect to get busy, I actually forgot."

This answer is mysterious, Sanniang is very puzzled, tomorrow? Tomorrow is February 18th, what kind of big day is that?

Li Xian said: "Eighteen years old, tomorrow, is my eighteenth birthday・・・・・・"...,

Sanniang glanced at him and began to talk crazy, eighteen years old...

Li Xi said again: "Come on my own... Well, from the day I decided to save the world, until tomorrow, it will be exactly eighteen years. ”

Sanniang's heartstrings trembled, and it took a long time to come back to her taste of herself, a man, who really cares about the world all the time. Eighteen years ・・・・・・ really hateful, why did I only accompany him for seventeen years.

She smiled: "This day is worth celebrating, but what points, do you still need to evaluate?" You are not satisfied with such a deed, do you not want to be a human king, but want to become a saint!? ”

I also have a bad problem with this man, that is, I am too picky and too dissatisfied・・・・・・ I am in every aspect, alas.

Li Xi shook his head: "Of course I want to comment, I don't want to become a god but I don't want to be a demon, this ...... You can take a look. ”

He handed Sanniang a thick copy of the newspaper, which had just been sent by Jiangnan Xingying.

There was silence in the carriage for a while, and then Sanniang's exclamation sounded: "She, she is actually the White Lotus Holy Aunt!" Only...... Just dead!? ”

This is a preliminary report on the White Lotus Lesson Plan sent by the Songtai Lianfu and the Jiangnan Xingying, saying that this White Lotus Holy Aunt is plotting to cause trouble in Jiading, not only gathering the sect members who have fled from the north, but also coercing the local villagers. So far, in addition to the White Lotus Holy Aunt Mi Wuniang and 66 sect members who have resisted stubbornly and have been killed on the spot, more than 400 followers have also been captured, and they are now being further arrested.

Sanniang's heart was first frightened, then sad, and finally remorseful, not only hatred for this Mi Wu Niang, but also pity. If a few days ago, she could have put more effort into persuading Nami Wuniang to let go of the evil obstacles in her heart, maybe she could save her life......

"Sanniang, she coerced the villagers, and in order to cover up the affairs in the village, she killed the people who entered the village. Before that day, she was in Jiangnan, and under my Yinghua rule, she had committed twenty or thirty murders, and she was a dead word. ”

While correcting Sanniang's overflowing sympathy, Li Xian also sighed faintly, Sanniang's previous words were good, that Mi Wuniang was like Sanniang who didn't meet him back then, but Bingqingyu's heart fell into the thousand-year-old White Lotus Demon Thought, Qingben Beauty, how can I be a thief...

The two were relatively silent, and Sanniang replied in her heart, but persuaded Li Xian: "Are you thinking that you are not good enough because of this Mi Wu Niang?" The people who are in trouble are all the believers in the north, and the local villagers are also coerced by Mi Wuniang, this is not your fault, it is not the fault of our Yinghua rule. ”

Li Shi shook his head: "I'm not worried about Mi Wuniang's affairs・・・・・・"

He patted the thick newspaper: "The official mansion I picked up with one hand has grown up, and its efficiency and rigor are beyond the reach of the Manchu Qing Dynasty."

Mi Wuniang and others, in this hundred wastes waiting to be revived, just set up a shelf in the south of the Yangtze River, the government can be wiped out in less than a month with the power of a government, no, a county. If you arrive in Guangdong, I am afraid that within three days, before the signs arise, this matter will be settled. ”

Sanniang frowned: "This ...... Isn't it good? ”

Li Xian sighed: "Okay, very good!" But there are also very bad things・・・・・・"

"Besides, the White Lotus Sect, no matter what it does, the White Lotus Doctrine is similar to the Catholicism that Liu Laodao, Xu Shenfei and others, including me, have raised together. It is similar to the ink road and benevolence that are churning in the country. And all those who are in the midst of suffering and feel powerless to save themselves also have this thought. The White Lotus Sect is difficult to regenerate and sprout in our Yinghua, but it is impossible to prevent the suffering people from seeking another religion, what will be the future of Catholicism? Could it be the next White Lotus Sect? ”

Thinking of industry and commerce, the villagers of Huangjia Village are coerced, and I don't know what the reason is, but the harm of industry and commerce in the south of the Yangtze River, and even the harm in the whole world, can still be seen. In the future, when the industry and commerce are more violent, the world will suffer more and more, and what everyone is looking for is no longer the White Lotus Sect, but another kind of thought・・・・・・ well... It's a bit of a long way off. ”…,

There was a hint of fear in Li Xian's eyes, a fear of the road ahead.

"I have supported industry and commerce, the most prosperous industry and commerce in China, and at the same time I have raised the government, the most strict government in China. I don't know if the other forces that I have raised can counterbalance them, and lead them to be close to each other, rather than merge into one. Then the Catholicism that was raised by me, blended with the White Lotus and Mo Daoren, and was used by the demons to resist that joint force. ”

"Eighteen years, my eighteen years, set up these three forces, combing, weaving the world, Huaxia is entering a new era, I don't know, weaving step by step, will there be a wrong step, so that this new era lost its direction."

Li Shi unfolded the fan on his waist, and the words "Ten Thousand Dangerous Peaks Climb Step by Step" caught his eye, and he was once laughed at by the court and even Zhu Yuyou, saying that it was too white and too vulgar, but this is Li Xian out of fear, reminding himself from time to time.

Feeling the depth of Li Shi, and even with a distant inhuman atmosphere, Sanniang hugged Li Shi and murmured: "Ah, you are too arrogant, these things, whether it is the past deeds or the future sins, are you doing it alone?" You're not alone......"

Li Xian was stunned, and after a long time, he exhaled a long breath and laughed: "That's right... The lady taught me that I really think I am a fairy. I am not alone in this world, whether it is a blessing or a curse, everyone has to carry it together. ”

His eyes flashed with determination: "Then pull the people who can pull over, all the people, and carry the world together." ”

The car was rolling and heading towards Huaiyang Academy, for Li Xian, the meaning of this line is no longer as simple as putting on a show.
