Chapter 10: Walk with Him

Si Koulin followed behind Xu Sheng, looking at the bustling crowd on the street, all kinds of snacks and gadgets on the street. This time, there were no other guards behind him, just the two of them.

Xu Sheng pulled Si Koulin, who had been hiding behind him, to his side, "What are you doing behind you?" ”

"Nope." Si Koulin was pulled by Xu Sheng and was startled.

"Look, what you want to eat, what you want to buy." Xu Sheng walked slowly while looking at the things on the street.

"Nope." Si Koulin whispered back, but in the bustling crowd, the sound was so small that it could barely be heard.

However, Xu Sheng still heard it, and said slowly, "Don't cherish it, when you enter the palace, it is really a bird in a cage." ”

Si Koulin's heart was shocked, when he entered the palace, where could he still see these things, I am afraid that he would not even be free. Looking up, he looked up at the man in a black robe with a serious face next to him. is obviously noble, and he is very busy. He also brought himself out specifically, for what? No one has ever thought about themselves.

Passing by a shouting and selling sugar gourds. Xu Sheng stopped, didn't ask Si Koulin, directly bought a bunch of sugar gourds, handed them to Si Koulin, "Take it." ”

He doesn't ask himself if he wants it? Glancing up at the man, he didn't feel that he didn't have anything to do with the strongman, and his clothes were as they should be. Has he always been accustomed to commands?

Come to think of it.

Si Koulin took the sugar gourd, but he didn't eat it, but kept it in his hand. I've walked half a street, and I haven't eaten yet.

Xu Sheng took him to a restaurant, and the two sat down, ordered food, and ate.

When he went back, Xu Sheng bought him a kite and a small grasshopper made of bamboo.

Si Koulin lowered his head, and his long hair habitually blocked half of his face, which made him feel safe. Unlike the hand that had been curled up in his sleeve, he now held a sugar gourd, a kite, and a small emerald green grasshopper tightly in his hand. The tall general next to him completely treats himself as a child?

Xu Sheng looked down at the young man who was half a step slower than him, lowered his head, and held those gadgets tightly in his hands, really like an ignorant little animal. This is the four princes of the Kou Kingdom, but it is unexpected. Is it that I am thinking too simply, I am being blinded, or is it really so?

Back in the group, we set off again.

Si Koulin got into the carriage, lifted the window curtain, let the wind blow in, put the kite in the window, and watched the colorful kite be blown by the wind and turn around, turning without a shadow, becoming a big circle.

Xu Sheng went to the carriage, opened the door curtain, and saw this scene.

The young man, who had been habitually bowing his head and being silent, was looking up at the kite in front of him with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his long hair like ink was blown up by the wind and scattered behind him. The thin and clear of the young man, the black hair, the white man, and the elf-like appearance, like a vivid and living landscape ink painting, are incredibly beautiful.

Si Koulin turned his head and saw a running carriage, someone actually opened the curtain to come in, but only stopped outside the door, and the tall figure blocked the light. Si Koulin immediately lowered his head and lowered the window curtain, withdrew the kite in his hand, and hung it aside.

Xu Sheng looked at it, it was only a few seconds of effort, and the person who was alive like an elf just now now returned to a lifeless appearance. It's really like a little snow fox caught that winter, when there are people, it doesn't move and pretends to be dead, and when there is no one, it jumps around, bites through the bag and escapes.

Xu Sheng smiled, got into the carriage, sat on the side, saw that there was only one stick left in the original sugar gourd next to him, and said, "In the next few days, I may have to stay in the carriage with you." ”

"Huh?" The young man was obviously surprised, looked up at Xu Sheng, lowered his head again, and asked softly, "Why?" ”

"I'm going to march to the office to deal with some things, and it's convenient in the carriage." Xu Sheng looked at the four princes, who were nervous at the sight of people, and they were not good at getting along with others.

"Hmm." Si Koulin still felt awkward, although in the past few days, he was no longer as afraid as he was when he first saw him. And he also saved his own life, and took a lot of care of himself along the way, but he didn't have the habit of getting along with others.

"You don't have to care, just don't interfere with each other." After Xu Sheng finished speaking, he beckoned out.

There was a guard who carried a small table and placed it, and there were four treasures of the study, and they stepped on the paperwork and placed it firmly on the table. Even though the carriage was speeding all the time, the guards who had placed things in front of the carriage were not affected in the slightest. The line moved as if it were walking on the ground, quickly put things in place, and then quietly withdrew.

Si Koulin watched this scene from the corner of the carriage and was very surprised. I knew that the general who could lead thousands of troops and horses, the third prince of the dignified Haoyuan Kingdom, and the prince of Tai'an, would not be so simple, but even a guard was so well-trained and strong in martial arts. Not to mention, he is sitting next to him at the moment, obviously just sitting on the side and dealing with paperwork, but he exudes complex emotions that make people unable to take their eyes off, but they are afraid and surrender to the strong.

Si Koulin lowered his head and didn't dare to look at it anymore, the carriage that was enough to accommodate five or six people was now infinitely crowded and cramped because of the addition of desks, various things, and one person. Even the air became uncomfortable.

Si Koulin occasionally glanced up at Xu Sheng, but the person was infinitely comfortable dealing with the things at hand, as if in a confined space, it was not a matter to have one more person, or as if he was used to it. Xu Sheng's calm relaxation made Si Koulin slowly no longer as nervous and uncomfortable as he was at the beginning.

Xu Sheng glanced at it, and it no longer looked like a small animal with hair erected and full of vigilance. I took a book and gave it to the boy, "It's good to pass the time." ”

Si Koulin took the book and saw that the general didn't care about him, and was bowing his head to deal with the paperwork. Si Koulin slowly turned the pages of the book, this is a book of Haoyuan folk myths and stories, and the content of the stories in it is quite interesting.

One person handles business, and the other person bows his head to read a book, without interfering with each other, but he is also used to having such a person.

When eating, the guards will bring the food into the carriage, and the two of them will eat together. Si Koulin always silently ate the white rice in the bowl, and he didn't even reach out to pick up the vegetables. Xu Sheng couldn't look at it, brought the dish to him and asked him to eat it.

But the boy ordered one action at a time, and I really wondered how he grew up.

But it doesn't look like it's the center of power, a prince who grew up in the royal family. It's really clumsy that it's not even flexible to be a little guy around him.

Is this prince deliberately disguised as this harmless appearance of humans and animals, or is it by nature? Even if he has lost his memory before, he is not like a child who has not grown up, he is very childish, his behavior is not thoughtful and dignified at all, and he does not have the elegant etiquette of a royal person.

On the third or fourth day, Xu Sheng finally couldn't help it and served the boy a dish. After clipping, Xu Shengcai was stunned, from childhood to adulthood, when he ate with his mother, he sandwiched dishes with each other. Since the death of my mother, I haven't eaten like this for six or seven years.

Si Koulin was also stunned when he watched the general put vegetables into the bowl. Before, he would force himself to hurry up and eat vegetables, and he was not allowed to eat without food. I am an order and an action, not unwilling, but I also like the rare warmth of someone for my own good. But I never thought that such a noble and high-ranking man would take the initiative to serve vegetables for himself.

Si Koulin buried his face in the bowl, not knowing how to react. Just eating with his head down.

That's the same time, and in the next few days, Xu Sheng will still order the young man to eat and eat that. The boy still didn't know what to do, he just lowered his head and ordered one action at a time.

The time was very fast, five or six days passed in a flash, and I arrived in Kyoto, Haoyuan country.

Si Koulin hid in the carriage, lifted the curtain, and looked at this rare prosperous scene.

It is a completely different scenery, bustling streets, fragrant food everywhere, beautifully dressed pedestrians, all kinds of restaurant signs, bustling, very prosperous. Even in winter, it is not a scene of dead trees falling, flowers are blooming everywhere, brocade ribbons are fluttering, and it is not lively.

It's a pity that I didn't have the opportunity to go down and feel it for myself, and what is getting closer and closer is that I am about to enter the palace of the enemy country, and what awaits me is the real unknown danger and helplessness. The heavier the heart, the more beautiful it is to look at the beautiful and prosperous scene, and the beauty is extraordinarily heavy. But no one will know, and it's only me.

Xu Sheng looked at the young man who was lifting the curtain and looking out. After five or six days of getting along day and night, the young man in front of him no longer has his head down all the time, and his face is full of defensiveness and evasion. Just like at this moment, the young man looked at the prosperity outside, but his eyes unconsciously revealed a lonely appearance.

Si Koulin suddenly felt a pair of warm hands rubbing his head on his head. Habitually backwards, but crashed into the carriage.

"Afraid of what?" Xu Sheng smiled, turned his head to look at the prosperity outside the window, and said lightly, "You are the prince of a country." ”

Si Koulin looked at the man's half face reflecting the light, looking out the window, his golden eyes reflected a piece of prosperity, as if he had seen it in his eyes, but he didn't seem to see anything in his eyes. Why can he always see this feeling in him, the more light the breeze, the more he feels elusively powerful, and that invisible power is overwhelming.

Si Koulin lowered his head and did not respond to his words.

What a prince, it's just a joke. Nothing, nothing can be done. It is precisely because of this that I envy the strength of a man.

Xu Sheng looked down at the young man who was bowing his head stiffly, and reached out to rub his head again.

Turning his head to look at the palace gate that was gradually approaching, he glanced at the palace, he had been in the frontier for four years, and now it was the beginning of the real story.
