Xiao Jiangyuan smiled silently—she did plan to do so. One is that she has returned to the palace, and it is not so easy to go out again, and then she goes out of the palace to see him off, if it falls in the eyes of someone with a heart, I don't know what kind of words will come out. It's best that no one notices him at the moment, so that if there is a real opportunity in the future, he will act so as not to arouse suspicion.

Li Longji saw that she really had this intention, he was stunned at first, and just wanted to say something in a weird way, but he caught a glimpse of Xiao Jiangyuan's somewhat evasive eyes. There's hesitation, there's ...... Reluctant?

After a turn of thought, Li Longji sighed lightly, took a step closer, and said in a low voice: "I don't have to be able to come back when I go, maybe you and I ...... I won't see you again in this life, and I can't say it again. ”

The voice sounded in a low voice above Xiao Jiangyuan's head, she couldn't help blinking, and said casually: "You will definitely come back......"

"Are you so sure?"

Xiao Jiangyuan's mind was a little chaotic at the moment, she actually acquiesced in her heart that this was just a short parting, just as the sun rose and the moon set, and she never thought that he might not come back. The thought that he would soon have to travel far away, to a place thousands of miles away, and that he might not return for a long time, maybe for a lifetime, made her heart feel very uncomfortable, as if she had been held tightly by something.

Seeing Xiao Jiangyuan's expression with shallow waves, Li Longji hooked his lips slightly, and struck while the iron was hot: "Okay, you have always treated me lightly, at most closer than others, but it is not necessarily sincere, maybe it is because I am too close, and I have to coax me." Now that I'm finally leaving, you're only afraid that you're too happy to be happy, how can you be willing to send me? ”

Xiao Jiangyuan immediately raised his head when he heard this: "I didn't!" ”

Li Longji frowned: "But you really never planned to send me ......"

"I'm because of ......" Xiao Jiangyuan just wanted to explain the reason, but found that compared to Li Longji's departure, those were very insignificant.

"Forget it, it's not easy for you to go out of the palace, I don't force it." After Li Longji finished speaking, he left, not giving Xiao Jiangyuan any chance to react.

The figure in front of him disappeared suddenly, and Xiao Jiangyuan opened his eyes in a daze, as if he saw the permanent parting, and his heart ached. All thoughts were gone in an instant, she didn't know if she was delirious or a ghost, and when she came to her senses, she had already caught up and grabbed Li Longji's arm with one hand.

Li Longji's footsteps immediately stopped, but he didn't turn around. He stood firmly, looking down at Xiao Jiangyuan's clenched little hand, his eyes were deep, and he didn't say a word.

In the silence, Xiao Jiangyuan's mouth was half open, but he couldn't reveal anything, as if he had become mute.

Li Longji didn't feel a little helpless, it seemed that she was not completely indifferent to herself, but she didn't know what it was. She may still be a little scared, even resist and retreat, so will he continue to push on, or let her think about it again? As soon as he moved his heart of compassion, he felt that the hand on his arm loosened his strength, and his eyes immediately narrowed, and his heart became ruthless again.

She's retreating too quickly, isn't she?!

He immediately turned around, holding Xiao Jiangyuan's shoulders tightly with both hands, and his ten fingers were embedded in the shoulder pads, caressing the gentle arc. He pushed her back onto the pedestal, then lowered his head and blew out the lotus lantern. The two of them suddenly fell into the night, and only the faint moonlight remained, allowing them to barely see each other's appearances.

Xiao Jiangyuan raised his eyes and looked at Li Longji's strong eyes, thought for a while, and said, "Fang Cai...... Someone passing by outside? ”

Li Longji's stomach was full of words, and he choked back again. He stammered for a long time, and Fang sighed, "Yes." ”

"Then ......" Xiao Jiangyuan looked sideways at the hand on his shoulder, "The king is still ......"

"Xiao Jiangyuan." Li Longji interrupted in a deep voice.

It is very rude to call people by name and surname, Xiao Jiangyuan thought that Li Longji was really angry, so he had to smile helplessly: "The slave maid is going to send the king." ”

Xiao Jiangyuan's shallow smile could be vaguely seen, and Li Longji only felt that all the means were in vain, so he finally coughed lightly and said, "Since you have agreed, you must come." ”

Xiao Jiangyuan bowed his head and said: "The slave and maid will practice what they say, and they will definitely see and leave with the king." ”

Li Longji believed Xiao Jiangyuan's words, but three days later, he waited for a long time at Tonghuamen, but he never saw her arrive. His eyes became heavier and heavier, and Wang Maozhong beside him became more and more worried, seeing that it was almost noon, if he didn't leave......

"Let's go!" Li Longji suddenly got on the horse and said.

"Yes, Ah Lang!" Wang Maozhong didn't dare to ask, so he hurriedly followed the horse, commanded a few slaves, drove the carriage with luggage, and finally set off.

As soon as the group walked on the official road, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves behind them. Li Longji was at the front of the team, and he didn't realize that his body stiffened when he heard the sound. He slowly turned his head sideways, and when he saw that the person who came was really Xiao Jiangyuan, the gloom that had been haunting his heart suddenly cleared up a lot.

In fact, even if she didn't come today, he wouldn't blame her, after all, it was not so easy for her to get out of the palace now, but he would be disappointed and regretful in his heart. He was clearly prepared for her to come or not, but when she did, he still felt pleasantly surprised.

He stopped at the horse, facing Xiao Jiangyuan who was chasing, the corners of his lips hooked, and he just stretched out his hand to hold her who was getting closer and closer, but he felt a strong wind coming, and the light crimson figure actually crossed directly from his side!

He froze for a moment, his hand still in mid-air - what was going on?

He hurriedly turned around, only to find that Xiao Jiangyuan's mount was bleeding profusely, and Xiao Jiangyuan had clearly tightened the reins, but the mount did not obey the call, the front hooves were raised, swaying left and right, and still refused to stop, and there were some signs of madness. He immediately galloped over, dismounted not far away, and was just about to take a step forward, when he heard Xiao Jiangyuan hurriedly say: "Don't come over, king!" ”

"Are you okay?" Li Longji said worriedly.

"I ...... I can't ......" a hint of embarrassment flashed on Xiao Jiangyuan's face, "But I don't want this beast to hurt the king!" ”

"What are you strong if you can't do it?" Li Longji said that he was about to step forward again, but was stopped by Wang Maozhong.

"Ah Lang, don't go, let the villain come!"

At this time, Xiao Jiangyuan let go of the reins and jumped directly from the horse!

"Ah Yuan!" Li Longji hurriedly rushed over and stretched out his hand to wrap his hand around Xiao Jiangyuan's waist, but he was hit by the momentum, and the two of them rolled to the grass on the side, rolling for a long distance before stopping. Li Longji always protected Xiao Jiangyuan's head, but he didn't have time to take care of himself, and when he stopped, his hair was already very messy, and he didn't know where the hairpin went, which was simply embarrassing. Looking at Xiao Jiangyuan in his arms, if you ignore the dust on his clothes, it will be as if nothing has happened.

"Do you think you're living too long?" Li Longji said angrily.

When Fang just rolled down, Xiao Jiangyuan was afraid of hurting Li Longji, so he never dared to move. When she opened her eyes at this moment, she lowered her head to look at herself, then raised her eyes to look at Li Longji in front of her, and couldn't help but apologize: "The king forgives his sins...... Where does the king feel pain? ”

Li Longji was still holding Xiao Jiangyuan, holding Xiao Jiangyuan's head with one hand, looking at Xiao Jiangyuan at the moment, there was an illusion that the two of them were hugging each other and sleeping. Hearing Xiao Jiangyuan ask, Li Longji hurriedly sighed: "My legs are ......"

Even though Xiao Jiangyuan was about to struggle to get up, Li Longji realized his mistake, hurriedly tightened his arms, and said, "It's okay, it's okay, it's just a little itchy just now." ”

Xiao Jiangyuan saw that Li Longji was so abnormal, and unconsciously remembered the night when he was downstairs, and thought about it again, his eyes suddenly narrowed slightly, and he smiled lightly: "The king has a wife and a concubine, and there are endless beauties around him, so he will also covet the advantages of slaves and eunuchs." ”

Li Longji coughed lightly and said in a low voice: "You are clearly ...... too"

Xiao Jiangyuan sighed: "But if the king doesn't get up again, the people around him will come around." The reputation of the slave and maid is small, but the reputation of the king cannot be ......."

Li Longji still didn't let go: "It's to let them see that I like a 'man', what can they do besides being able to get over their mouths?" After saying that, he was stunned.

Xiao Jiangyuan also immediately realized something-he ...... Fang just said...... Like?

At this time, Wang Maozhong had already subdued the injured horse, and after calling someone to bandage it, he hurried over: "Ah Lang is okay?" ”

Only then did Li Longji let go of his hand, helped Wang Maozhong, and stood up. Xiao Jiangyuan also got up immediately, shook the ash on his robe, and was choked and coughed a few times for a while, and his cheeks were slightly red, but in Wang Maozhong's eyes, it meant something else. Wang Maozhong turned his eyes and glanced at his own Ah Lang, and found that he also looked unnatural, and he had a point in his heart, so he said: "If Ah Lang is fine, let's set off, the trip can't be too late." ”

When Xiao Jiangyuan heard this, he said, "The king has been waiting for the slave for a long time today?" ”

Seeing Li Longji taking a selfie and ignoring his clothes, Wang Maozhong responded with a smile: "Ah Lang has been waiting in Tonghuamen for a long time, but he waited left and right, but he didn't see Xiao Nei's waiting. If it weren't for the villain's persuasion, I'm afraid that I'm still in Tonghuamen. ”

Xiao Jiangyuan hurriedly said: "Then the king should go quickly, lest you have no time to arrive at the post station, so you will have to eat and drink and sleep on the streets." ”

"Then you ......"

"Since the slave maid said that she wants to send the king, she naturally has to follow her on a journey, so that she can live up to the word 'send'."

Xiao Jiangyuan's delivery was actually twenty miles. She and Li Longji were unaware, and when they were resting along the way, they were reminded by Wang Maozhong.

Li Longji glanced at Xiao Jiangyuan's slightly stunned expression, he was happy at first, but after looking up at the sky, his joy turned into reluctance and unwillingness, but he still said: "If you don't go back quickly, I'm afraid that you will catch up with the curfew, you won't be able to enter the city, and you won't be able to return to the palace." ”

Xiao Jiangyuan obviously didn't expect time to pass so quickly, he also looked at the sky, and after confirming, he stood up, solemnly waved to Li Longji, and said, "The slave has something to say, and I want to talk to the king in detail." ”

Wang Maozhong immediately retreated to the side in amusement, and drove the other servants farther away.

Li Longji walked up to Xiao Jiangyuan: "You can tell me." ”

"The king should know, and if he loses his horse, he will not know whether he is blessed."

"Nature."

Seeing that Li Longji deserved to be very casual, Xiao Jiangyuan said: "The slave is not comforting the king, but telling the truth." ”

Li Longji raised his eyebrows: "Oh? ”

"Although the king is now being exiled and far away from Chang'an, it seems to be degraded, but it is not."

Li Longji nodded: "Staying away from Chang'an, naturally there are benefits of staying away from Chang'an." The sky is high and the emperor is far away, so there is less danger. ”

"Not only that, the king is just an ordinary county king in Chang'an, high or low, but once he arrives in Luzhou, even the assassin has to respect the king for three points, not to mention the local people. The king is the only Tang clan in Luzhou, the representative of the saint, and the symbol of the royal family, and when he was in Chang'an, of course, it is not the same. ”

"It's just a phoenix-tailed chicken head, don't drive it is the deputy of the assassin after all, I can do nothing, and I can't be too overbearing."

"In Luzhou, the assassin is the leader, don't drive one person under ten thousand people, it is very convenient for the king to do whatever he wants to do when he arrives."

"For example, make friends with local heroes and recruit your own customers."

"You can also learn about the suffering of the people. There are many things that cannot be seen in Chang'an and Luoyang. ”

"I know." Li Longji looked in the direction of Luzhou from a distance, and did not have a trace of the inherent decadence of other degraded officials, but was high-spirited and unrestrained, "Since I have gone to Luzhou, I will do what I can and what I should do, and I will not waste this rare opportunity." ”

Xiao Jiangyuan looked at Li Longji like this, smiled softly, and sighed: "Sending you a thousand miles, you must say goodbye in the end, the mountains are high and the rivers are far away, and you cherish yourself." ”

Li Longji snorted lightly when he heard this: "Don't you say that to whoever you say goodbye to?" I don't like to hear it. ”

Xiao Jiangyuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart. see
