Chapter 20: Revealing Secrets
Xu Sheng looked carefully, and there was a trace of tears in the corner of the young man's eyes.
Reached out and gently rubbed him with the pad of his thumb. If he didn't guess wrong, when he was alone, it should have been the three years that he stayed alone in the corner of the deep palace in Si Kou Country. Just like the spy said, there is not even a loyal servant around, and even if there is, it is better to deceive the superiors and subordinates.
Xu Sheng looked at his soft fingers, and was surprised that he would actually reach out and wipe away his tears, probably the favored princes in the deep palace have their own merits, and the unfavored princes are probably the same.
When he was young, he was accompanied by his mother, but since the death of his mother, he spent three years alone in the deep palace, forbearance and attention. The slightest mistake is a catastrophe.
How can you not understand the fear of falling into a desolate place, but it is all lonely. I don't know if it's to say it to the boy, or to myself, muttering, "Then you won't be a bird, you want to be a dragon." ”
"Hmm." Si Koulin naturally didn't understand, and still babbled to himself, "I will play with crickets, the little eunuchs in the palace fight crickets, in fact, they don't know, I am the most powerful cricket." As he spoke, he stepped out of his own foot, "I can trample those crickets to death with one foot." After saying that, he laughed, "All the crickets are afraid of me, I let them walk around the wall, and they go around the wall." ”
Si Koulin's heart moved slightly, and he tentatively asked, "Can you let them walk around the wall?" ”
"Of course." Si Koulin's eyes narrowed slightly, shook his head, and patted his chest, "I'm the king of crickets." ”
"So powerful?" Xu Sheng chuckled.
"Of course." Si Koulin crouched on the railing again, his voice gradually became quieter, and he said slowly, "Actually, I'm not good at all. I'm scared," he said and began to cry slowly, "I'm afraid that sometimes, something will suddenly follow me, sometimes I think it's so big, it's big, and suddenly I'm gone." But I didn't dare to tell anyone, because no one would listen. “
Could this be the legendary Born Psychic? It seems that this child is not only weak-minded, but even has that kind of wisdom. If you have hysteria, if you are invaded by sneakers, you have no ego. And he put himself into another empty path, or he was involuntarily and inexplicably attracted to it, and he still couldn't control himself. Five hundred years ago, people had three eyes, twenty years ago there were sneaky, and now there are still immortal legends in Weiqi Mountain.
If what he's saying now is to be believed.
Xu Sheng stretched out his hand, followed the child's head, and comforted, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I see it, I hear it." ”
Si Koulin stretched out his hand and grabbed the corner of his clothes, quietly, as if he was afraid that he would run away.
In this way, the silence and restraint of the past are not unreasonable. In those three years, did Si Kouguo know? Or do you know, so the four princes who are outcast suddenly appeared, or don't you know? Then why send such a clean and defenseless child here?
It seems that this world is not only fought for by Haoyuan Kingdom, but also the tiger temporarily lying on its side.
Xu Sheng took the cloak, draped it on Si Koulin's body, picked up the drunk and confused young man, held the young man on his chest, and drove back to the mansion on the outskirts of Beijing. He sent another secret letter to the carpenter.
The next day, when Si Koulin woke up with a headache and a swelling brain, it was already three poles in the morning. I have a terrible headache, but the memory of yesterday is clear. Even down to the point of what he said, he still remembers.
I thought that I was mentally unbalanced to another dimension of vainness. I didn't expect it to be because I drank alcohol.
Yesterday he said so many words to that person and told all the secrets, would he think that he was a monster? And then? And then what to do? I can't imagine that I have always been a fish and meat of my ancestors, and all I can do is try my best to make myself normal, like an ordinary person. Be silent and minimize your presence.
But this secret, which had been hidden for so long, was suddenly all told.
Why do you say so much? Why so many words? Every time you speak, you will be wrong, and every time you speak, you have to be careful. Why did you do that yesterday?
Si Koulin buried himself in the quilt, chagrined and annoyed, angry and afraid.
Until Xu Sheng knocked on the door, walked in, and saw the young man with his head buried in the quilt. Obviously he is already a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, why does he still look like a child who doesn't grow up?
It's because of the loss of memory, or the influence of the environment, or the strange physique, so it's more primitive and natural, like a child. "Awake?"
Si Koulin, who was in annoyance, heard Xu Sheng's voice, and his back stiffened, but he didn't answer.
Xu Sheng smiled and came again. Like a little animal, naively thinking that if you don't listen, the predators won't notice you and skip you? Walked up and patted him on the shoulder, "What, do you have a headache?" ”
"Nope." Si Koulin got up and avoided his hand, and glanced at Xu Sheng quickly, as if there was no strange look.
"Then get up and eat." Xu Sheng pulled out the quilt he was holding in his arms and put it on the side of the bed. Xu Sheng used to do this action often. So it is not surprising that this child is sensitive and delicate, and always needs what people think is his good intentions to force him to do something. to be pushed away.
Si Koulin lost the quilt in his hand, and followed Xu Sheng to the table.
The mermaid rushed in and immediately set up a table of his favorite dishes.
Xu Sheng took the chopsticks and stuffed them into his hand.
Si Koulin held the chopsticks, looked at the food on the table, and the person sitting next to him who was eating casually. It's all so common, and so unusual.
It turns out that I have been here for more than a month, and I even have the habit of eating together, and I can even know what I like to eat from the silence I have been resisting.
looked at the person next to him, a pair of golden eyes were lowered, and he was concentrating on eating. With deep and handsome facial features, he has the temperament of a soldier, and he is obviously a serious person. I still remember the first time I saw him, I was so scared and afraid. Now, I can sit and eat with him as a matter of course.
Xu Sheng naturally knew that the young man was secretly looking at himself, so he put a clip of celery in his bowl.
The young man hurriedly withdrew his sneaky gaze and looked at the food in the bowl and was stunned, so, would he be the same as everyone else? Or is it different from them?
"What a daze, hurry up and eat." Xu Sheng knocked on the bowl in front of Si Koulin and pulled him out of his thoughts.
Si Koulin buried his head in the bowl and ate, suddenly his eyes were a little hot, it should be different, didn't he save his life?
He didn't mention it, maybe he just thought he was drunk, and didn't care.
In the afternoon, Si Koulin was taken to the backyard by Xu Sheng with a wooden sword stuffed in his hand, "The body is too weak, you must practice martial arts and practice swords to strengthen your body." ”
Xu Sheng did not mention this matter because drunk people naturally cannot be fully trusted. Reconfirmation is required. There is also the side of Si Kou Country. But in any case, this person must end up using it for himself. And as the carpenter Weng said, the child needs a strong will to control this ability.
Where is Si Koulin, a martial arts practitioner? The posture of holding the wooden sword is like holding a wooden stick, straight and straight, and it is very wooden.
Si Koulin deliberately found a martial arts instructor in the army to teach him, but found that this kid was very resistant, very uncooperative, and always mentally distracted.
Xu Sheng was impatient to look at him, so he had to go down and teach him twice, give him a good start, and let him accept it quickly.
Si Koulin's hand holding the wooden sword, with a pair of big hands wrapped around the back of his hand, warm and powerful.
"Four fingers interlocked, thumb against the hilt." Xu Sheng snapped his stiff fingers and taught him the correct posture of holding the sword.
Si Koulin followed the skills he taught, one move at a time, slowly anagly, awkwardly but also learning seriously.
After eating in the evening, Xu Sheng received the news. Qi Wenxiu was actually poisoned and assassinated, but fortunately, he only lost some small injuries, and he thought it was the prince's hand.
Xu Yanzhuo also got the news that Qi Wenxiu was poisoned and stabbed, so he came to the small courtyard on the outskirts of the capital overnight.
knocked on the door of the small courtyard at night, and the servant opened the door to see that it was Xu Yanzhuo, so he opened the door directly and let him in.
Xu Yanzhuo entered the courtyard and went straight to Qi Wenxiu's bedroom, where he saw Qi Wenxiu lying on the bed with a pale face. In the past, there was a free and easy arrogance in the scholarly atmosphere, but now there is a sense of vulnerability. Hurriedly stepped forward and asked with concern, "Young Master Qi, where is this hurt?" ”
"It's fine, it's just a minor injury." Qi Wenxiu wanted to lift the quilt and salute Lord Rui.
"Why do you and I have to come to these vains?" Xu Yanzhuo hurriedly stepped forward to stop, "Take care of your injuries in bed." ”
"How can the grass people be able to let the prince come overnight." Qi Wenxiu lay on the bed and wanted to give up.
"Don't move." Xu Yanzhuo also saw that his left shoulder should be injured, and he couldn't wait to chop Nasi, how could there be an accident when he finally retracted his arm, "It must be the crown prince who has a grudge, and it is all because of the king's inconsiderate behavior that made Qi Gongzi fall into such a dangerous situation." ”
"It has nothing to do with the prince, and thanks to the prince's Baguio pills, the grass people escaped this catastrophe." Qi Wenxiu thanked Xu Yan Zhuo.
"Since you are with me, I will definitely protect you." Xu Yanzhuo understood that the prince would not give up.
Qi Wenxiu looked at the determined Rui Wang Ye in his eyes, but he couldn't understand the flying Eight Dragon Ball King Lords more and more. If he treated himself politely because he wanted to win him over, now it seems that he is really worried about his safety.
This time he deliberately suffered some minor injuries, the purpose was to make this suspicious prince completely believe in himself, and he was already in the same boat as him, and gain his trust. Now it seems that the effect is unexpectedly good, at least he miscalculated, and the dignified prince will go to this remote place in the capital overnight, just to see his injuries.
Xu Yanzhuo saw that Qi Wenxiu's face showed a tired look, and he didn't bother much, after all, it was the middle of the night. After saying goodbye and returning to the mansion, he ordered his subordinates to send Baguio pills and gold soft armor to Qi Wenxiu overnight.
Qi Wenxiu looked at the two things on the box, and any one of them was taken out, they were all treasures that were hard to find.
