Ruoli said to Jing: "You are the lady of the city lord, and the words of the lady cannot be counted!" But you can forgive them. ”

Quietly suddenly realized: "The food you cook is too unpalatable, it is raw, the vegetables are raw, the meat is raw, the rice, that's not rice, it's just a grain of rice!" Raw rice! Come two people, carry Xiao Er down and wake him up, it stinks! ”

Ruoli thinks that this girl is not ordinarily interesting.

"Is that okay?" Quiet asked him. Ruoli asked a black cloak to come over. Whispered a few words. The man nodded.

The man in black knelt in front of the silence and said, "Your Majesty, the law of Blackwater City states that it is not illegal to supply raw food and food from hot springs. ”

Silence sighed. "Let's go to the castle!" Ruoli led her to the end of the market.

On either side of the long street, there is not a single ordinary house in sight.

"If you leave, where do those people live?" Quiet couldn't help but ask. "Live below." Ruoli said. Quiet doesn't understand. But I didn't inquire anymore. Walked through the market, walked to a tall tower, and stood on a disc. The two slowly ascended.

Not long after. The two were sent to the top of the tower. Step out of a small arch. The quiet eyes suddenly opened: "It's time for our castle." "It's a very wide flat area, surrounded by walls and battlements.

"This is the highest point in Blackwater. When the weather is good, you can see the situation from a hundred miles away. Ruoli said.

"What's the use of that?" Quiet asked. "This is the refuge of our Rui Palace. I've been building it for decades. Ruoli said.

"Hasn't the emperor already pardoned the Rui Palace?" Quiet asked. "The most ruthless emperor's family! Our Rui Wangfu was originally the king who guarded the border. But since he was stripped of his military status and military power, he has been constantly demoted, from the first-class king to the last class I am now. This predicts that one day it will be destroyed! Ruoli said.

Silence took a turn on it. This is a city wall that is difficult to defend and difficult to attack. "But there's no city outside." Quiet said.

Ruoli led her to a high platform. There is an iron cable on the high platform. Hanging baskets hung from the iron cables. Ruoli helped her sit in the hanging basket. "If you leave, I'm afraid!" Speaking quietly, he hugged him tightly and trembled.

"Don't be afraid. With me here, you can rest assured! Ruoli said, putting his arm around her shoulder. He tugged at one of the brass rings on the iron cable. The basket began to move and slowly slid down. Silence exclaimed and closed his eyes.

"Don't be afraid, look at what a beautiful view! If you don't look at it, you won't have it! Ruoli said with a smile.

Quiet opened her eyes and saw a scene that surprised her: the hanging basket was walking slowly under the blue sky. The white clouds are like flocculents, and the hours and minutes meet. A round of red sun, radiating colorful light. The brilliant light envelops the green forest sea under your feet.

"It's beautiful!" Quiet rested her head on his shoulder. Ruoli pointed to the distance and said, "Over there, there is a city under the sunset, called Chang'an." That's my hometown, and I've never been there. But I saw it countless times in my dreams. When I was a child, I heard my grandfather say that Chang'an is a bustling metropolis. The princes and princes of the generals all covet him! ”

"If you have a chance, let's go to Chang'an together!" Quiet turned her face to look at him and said. "Good! If it works, I will definitely take you to eat all over Chang'an City! Ruoli smiled happily. His face, an angular and square face. Looking quietly, in a trance, there is a feeling of déjà vu.

"Ruoli, where have we met before?" Quiet asked him. Ruoli shook his head. "I only met the young master of your family in the academy, and I didn't have much contact. Except for the last time you fell into the water, I went to your house. I don't have any other time to visit my house. ”

Ruoli looked at Quiet's thoughtful expression and teased: "Could it be that there was a date in a dream?" Quiet seemed to suddenly remember something, and said in surprise: "Ruoli, if the dream is true, we have indeed seen it in the dream." And," she stopped.

"What, is it to worship heaven and earth and enter the cave room? My Jing'er dreams of marrying her husband! Ruoli pinched her small nose and said.

Quietly shook his head and said, "As an elder brother, isn't it okay to make fun of my sister like this?" "If you don't have anything to hide, please forgive me!" Ruoli quickly apologized.

Quietly look ahead, then look below. "Is this thing moving? How are we still in heaven? "She's a little anxious.

Ruoli smiled and said, "We are immortals, of course we must be in heaven!" Quiet was even more anxious, "Then what do we eat when we are hungry?" Ruoli took her into his arms and said, "My snack goods, we have actually landed for a while." ”

He shook the brass ring in his hand. The ropes are gone, the forest is gone, and the surrounding area is still overgrown with wild trees and weeds. Only the hanging basket in which they sat remained. Silence is clouded. My jaw almost didn't drop.

"How's it going, is it fun?" Ruoli said with a smile. "Fun! But, so many people, are also fake? Quiet blinked.

"People are real, do you want to see them?" Ruoli said. Quietly nodded vigorously.

Ruoli gave a whistle. In front of the house and behind the house, a lot of people flashed out. Some also wore black cloaks. "I've seen the young master, I've seen the young lady!" Let's give the salute together.

An older man said, "The old master doesn't like these kitsch acrobatics the most." He hopes that the young master will learn some skills in governing the country and securing the country, and one day serve the emperor and the court. ”

Ruoli sneered for a while, he looked at the gray-haired man and said, "Second uncle, I call you second uncle, for the sake of you and my father, who have fought on the battlefield. But my dad didn't expect it, and I didn't expect it, that you are an old wolf who can't be fed! ”

The white-haired man shuddered violently, pretended to be calm, and said, "What does it mean that the young master humiliates me so much? ”

"What do you mean? Zhao Yuanxi, you are a puppet, for the sake of glory and wealth, you do not hesitate to plant your master and so many innocent brothers! And it's so deep! You just reported again, didn't you? ”

Yuan Xi pleaded: "I didn't! "Bring it on!" Two men in black escorted a man over. "Young master, he instructed me to help him release the pigeons. He said, "When it's done, give it to me, ah! The man screamed and threw himself to the ground. Yuan Xi had an extra bloody knife in his hand.

"Yuan Raid, you dare to kill people!" Ruoli is in a hurry. He threw the knife away, sighed, and said, "This knife was meant to kill you, but I didn't want to do that." You are what I grew up watching you grow up with. I can't bear it. Although I reported the news, it was to leave a way for my son to live. If you engage in this Blackwater City, sooner or later you will bring destruction to all the people! Stop it! Young master, it's still too late! ”

"The letters have been sent, it's time to fart!" If you are out of breath, you will tremble. "If there is no witness, there is no evidence!" After Yuan Xun finished speaking, he picked up the dead man and entered a small building.

When the door was closed, Yuan Xi shouted miserably: "Young master! Do it for yourself! After a loud bang, the small building sank into the ground and was buried in an instant by the earth and rubble.

"Second uncle!" If you want to stop it, it's too late. Quiet and everyone was stunned.

Ruoli returned to his lodgings with quiet. This is a small side house. But the interior layout is okay. Tables, chairs, benches, beds, everything is available. Quiet is a bit tiring. Ruoli asked her to lie down on the bed. He asked the servant to boil a bowl of lotus seed soup.

"Jing'er, drink some soup to get rid of the cold." He lifted the silence up a little. Spoonful by spoon to feed her. "If you leave, I'll do it myself!" Quietly, embarrassed to say. "Drink, don't get too out of touch with me." Ruoli said with a smile.

Finish the soup. Ruoli took a quiet hand and said, "Has my sister ever read?" Quietly said: "I have read it, and I have read the Three Character Classic, the Hundred Family Names, and the Analects with my brother." But Jing'er is stupid, and she only knows a little about those. Ruoli said: "I'm not good at reading, I like to play!" But it can only go around the fiefdom. ”

Jing Jing asked him, "Why haven't you seen your parents after coming here for so long?" Ruoli smiled bitterly and said, "My father and mother are both in the capital. is called the companion of the king's family, but he is actually a hostage. "Quiet knows what the word hostage means. I couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness in my heart. Shed tears.

Ruoli comforted her and said: "My sister doesn't need to be sentimental, when the emperor's birthday comes, I will take my sister to meet my father and mother." They're going to love you. Quiet nodded and said, "That's good!" ”

At night, an oil lamp illuminates the empty room. Ruoli sat on the side of the bed, held a quiet hand and said: "Since I came to this world, my relatives have not been able to get together, so I can only guard this dilapidated palace alone, and live in fear. ”

"If you leave, I will accompany you in this life, this world is impermanent, but I will never turn my back on you!" Lying quietly on the bed, hugging his waist.

Ruoli said: "The matter of Blackwater City has been leaked out, and I am afraid that I will soon be detained and interrogated by the imperial court." I'll send you back to Qin Mansion overnight! ”

Jing Jing hugged him and said emotionally: "I won't go back, where you go, I will go too." I am your princess, and there is no reason to leave you! ”

Ruoli smiled bitterly and said, "How old are you this year?" Little girl at the age of thirteen! Be my sister, I'm afraid of implicating you. To be a princess? That's going to be guillotined together! ”

"It's okay to go to the guillotine, as Zhao Ruoli's princess, I'm not afraid of anything. My life was given by you, so I will pay it back to you. Quietly and stubbornly put her arms around his neck.

"Silly girl!" Tears welled up in Ruoli's eyes.

"Actually, I have an idea!" She smiled wryly.

"What's the idea?" If you are puzzled, ask.

"Aren't you tricksters? When the time came, I picked up my mother and father and sat in the basket together, and I flew away. Won't the emperor be able to catch us? She also used her hands to make a flying appearance.

Looking at her childish and cute appearance, Ruoli is angry and funny. "Okay, when the time comes, if you leave my brother, take my little Jing Jing to fly together! Fly! He hugged her and circled around the room. Quiet giggles.
