Chapter 19: Hands-on
Seeing Li Jianqing and the three disappear into the jungle, Shen Zhitang gently picked up the leather coat left on the ground: "Why is this set missing a hand?" ”
Li Zhilian replied: "Su Yun couldn't catch fish last night, and the student thought that since this leather coat was made of livestock skin, it should be able to be eaten, but after washing and roasting for a while, the skin exuded a burst of medicinal fragrance, and he put it down for fear of poison."
The princess of a dignified country was reduced to eating the skin of livestock, Shen Zhitang suddenly turned red, turned around and picked up the remaining hand and said, "Put out the fire, let's go too!" ”
He looked down and saw that Li Zhilian's hair was yellow and his hands were full of wounds, some new and some old...... In a trance, he seemed to know Wang's intention to send Li Zhilian to him: "Zhilian~ Mr. Wang is okay in Zhongluan City?" ”
Li Zhilian extinguished the fire, got up and replied: "His body is still quite strong, he goes to class on time every day, and the students are terrible about him!" ”
Shen Zhitang pondered quietly and didn't answer, Li Zhitang said, "Teacher~ What's wrong?" ”
Shen Zhitang was stunned for a moment, raised his head and said with a smile: "Hmm~ good~ He's in good health!" ”
"Teacher~ Did Mr. Wang also serve as an official in the court?"
"What? You don't know? ”
Li Zhilian shook his head and said, "I have never heard Mr. Wang talk about it."
Shen Zhitang nodded, looked at Li Zhilian with his eyes and said: "Mr. Wang used to be the crown prince, that is, the teacher of your imperial brother Li Shihe, and I am also his subordinate."
"Then Mr. Wang~ is also the same as the students, was he demoted out of Ningcheng because of the civil strife?"
Shen Zhitang shook his head and said: "No, he was exiled by your imperial brother not long after the crown prince ascended the throne, because he disagreed with the current saint Zhou Zhi, you were young at that time, you may not remember."
Unloading the mill and killing the donkey is the most common thing in the royal family, but Mr. Wang pushed her out at this time, and suddenly she remembered the conversation between Mr. Wang and the person hiding in the dark in the corridor two days before she left Zhongluan City a month ago, and then thought of everything she had encountered in the past two days, could it be that the person behind the design of those refugees to make trouble and attract the teacher here was Mr. Wang, but why did he do this?
Li Zhilian looked at Shen Zhitang's back, maybe he had already guessed it!
On the mountain road, Shen Zhitang kept groping for the leather sleeve and pondered, as if he remembered something, and turned around and said: "See clearly~"
Li Zhilian raised his head and said, "Teacher~ But is there something?" ”
Shen Zhitang saw that Li Zhilian was following behind him, and said with a smile: "I'm old!" It's easy to forget things, and you're tired! Do you want to take a break? ”
Li Zhilian shook his head and said: "I'm not tired~ It's a teacher, I've been on the road for a day, and my health is okay?" ”
Shen Zhitang picked a relatively flat mountain rock and sat down and asked, "But what else is going on?" ”
Li Zhilian nodded and said: "The student had a high fever when he was five years old, and he didn't remember many things, and then he had been living in Zhongluan City, where the news was closed, and he only knew that the emperor of the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom was now Zhou Zhi, the virtuous concubine of his father."
Shen Zhitang raised his head and said, "You want to ask if there are any of your brothers and sisters in the palace?" ”
Li Zhilian nodded
Shen Zhitang took a deep breath and said: "After your father left, the crown prince Li Shihe suddenly died of illness less than a year after ascending the throne, Li Shihe's younger brother is your second brother and second prince Li Shizhang and Zhou Zhi's son Li Xing, the third prince of the throne, became the emperor and fought hard, and finally the second prince was defeated, Zhou Zhiqian was angry with the Xiao family, and the Xiao family was beheaded, so that nearly hundreds of Li family and Xiao descendants were seated in a row, and then you were exiled to Zhongluan City with the blood of Queen Xiao, and two years later, Li Xingcheng died suddenly, and Zhou Zhi was called emperor in chaos, Now the descendants of the surname Li in the imperial city, only Li Chenghou, the son of Li Xingcheng, is left, who is eight years old this year! Known as the Prince"
Li Zhilian nodded: "What line is Senior Brother's Li from?" ”
Shen Zhitang stood up and shook his head and said, "I don't know very well, he was adopted by my uncle, and he didn't tell me his background when he handed it to me."
Li Zhilian nodded, followed behind Shen Zhitang unhurriedly, and stopped making a sound
In the evening, deep in the mountains, the afterglow of the setting sun spreads over the mountains, staining a pine forest as red as blood. Su Yun said: "It's getting dark. ”
Li Jianqing said: "Where did you get down the mountain last night?" ”
Su Yun replied: "Little Mercy took me up and down the mountain yesterday, and I crossed this mountain in half a day, which is like now, I am still in this halfway mountainside after walking for half a day."
Li Jianqing looked around: "It is most taboo to go up and down the mountain, if you are forced to do so, it is best not to take risks, we listen to Xu Sen"
Xu Sen walked at the front and looked into the distance and said, "From here, I remember that there is a wooden house built by Orion in front, and we can spend the night there."
At this time, the light of the afterglow has also softened, and the sky in the mountains has slowly turned dark. Li Jianqing raised his head and looked in the direction of Xu Sen's finger, and sure enough, in the bushes facing west, a small wooden house was faintly exposed
The house is not large, only a main hall, and it looks like no one has been here in years
Xu Sen was busy lighting the fire, Su Yun took out the leftover grilled fish from his clothes and handed it to Li Jianqing and said, "Brother Li, do you want to have some~"
Li Jianqing took the grilled fish, and the thick smell of sweat made him frown slightly and said, "Where do you put this fish?" ”
Su Yun took a bite and smiled: "In the clothes!" I wrap it up with leaves, rest assured~"
Li Jianqing turned the fish to Xu Sen with a disgusted face and said, "You can eat it~"
Xu Sen waved his hand and refused: "I just saw a pot in the corner, I'll go to the side of the mountain to get some water later, why don't we eat something hot at night."
Xu Sen lit the fire, pushed open the door and said, "I'll come when I go, you guys take a rest first"
Su Yun sat by the fire to heat his grilled fish, suddenly felt that something was wrong, immediately held his breath, turned around to look at Li Jianqing, Li Jianqing shook his head at him and then fell to the ground, Su Yun was stunned for a moment, and also collapsed to the ground
After a while, I heard the sound of the door opening and a sound of footsteps, and heard someone shouting: "Master Li~Brother Xu~"
After a long time, he heard the sound of the door closing again, Su Yun hurriedly sat up and covered his nose and pushed Li Jianqing softly: "Do you want to follow?" ”
Li Jianqing threw a pill into Su Yun's mouth and said, "He is too alert, and he is familiar with this place, so he can't keep up."
Su Yun got up and said, "How do you know that you can't keep up if you haven't followed?" ”
"I followed him twice last night and lost both of them"
"If you can't do it, it doesn't mean I can't, I just want to follow and see"
"The teacher told me to protect you, so I won't let you go"
"You got it?"
"Hmm~ Your country's Prime Minister Situ Mo once left a portrait of you"
"Did he go back?"
"Well, from the border of climbing"
"That's good~"
"Shh~" Li Jianqing suddenly pulled Su Yun against the window, quietly waiting for someone to come
After a burst of staggering footsteps, a conversation between the two came from outside the door: "Are you sure those two people passed through Nianse Village and walked out?" ”
"Well~ that woman is still a princess"
"Shen Zhitang also knows?"
"I should know~ I see the three of them talking there for a while"
"Then let's do it!"
The door of the wooden house was pushed open, and the first person to come in was Xu Sen, who found that the person on the ground was missing and shouted, "Where are the people?" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, there were a few loud "bangs", and more than a dozen black-clothed people jumped into the main hall from the window, and the leader said angrily: "Didn't you say that you have stunned them?" ”
Xu Sen said: "They were still there when I left~ Could it be that they were pretending to be dizzy just now?"
Suddenly, Su Yun felt a flower in front of him, and the cold light hit his face, Li Jianqing had already landed, and the dozen or so black-clothed people were fighting around him
Su Yun jumped up, got down from the beam of the house and said angrily: "Don't say hello when you do it" The black-clothed people on the side shouted wildly and came up, the sword in Li Jianqing's hand turned into an afterimage, and in the blink of an eye, all the black-clothed people had fallen to the ground.
Su Yun checked it and said angrily: "Why don't you leave a living, how can we go to Yuzui Lake?"
Li Jianqing put the sword into the scabbard and said in a deep voice: "I'm worried about the teacher."
Su Yun patted Li Jianqing's shoulder and said, "Don't worry!" There's a little pity here~"
"How can she, a little girl, deal with these outlaws"
"Brother Li~ You believe me, Xiao Lianzi's force is no worse than you"
Li Jianqing stared at Su Yun, and Su Yun continued helplessly: "Then her martial arts are better than mine."
Li Jianqing got up and said: "Martial arts are better than yours, it's normal, let's not go to Yuzui Lake, let's go to Nianse Village instead." ”
"Let's go now?"
"You want to rest with the dead?"
"Let's go."
