Qinghe Prefecture, Jinyi Palace.

"Xiao Jiu still doesn't think about tea and rice?"

A plainly dressed figure walked out of the corner of the majestic hall, approaching the waiter who was serving vegetables step by step, holding a "rune" scroll in his left and right hands, comparing it a few times before and after, and casually throwing the two treasure scrolls behind him.

This person is none other than Duan Ling, the king of Qinghe, one of the kings of Kyushu.

Duan Ling raised his brows, looking upset, it seemed that his daughter didn't eat a single bite of food than looking for classic materials, which made him more distressed.

"Since Her Royal Highness the Ninth Princess came back from the Spirit Beast Mountain Range of the Immortal Alliance Conference four days ago, that's it, and the slaves have no choice." The waiter's face turned pale and he bowed his head silently.

Duan Ling patted the waiter on the shoulder and comforted: "It's okay, didn't Junyu check the princess's pulse, what did he say?" ”

"Qiu Danshi said that the ninth princess is...... It's a sickness of longing. The attendant did not dare to hide it, and replied timidly.

Sickness? Duan Ling held his chin, thought for a moment, and nodded. He took the food in the hand of the waiter and said, "From today onwards, all of Xiao Jiu's meals will be brought to Jinyi Palace, and this king will personally send them to her." ”

Between the words, the figure of King Qinghe, dressed in simple green clothes, floated and walked towards the Yunlian Palace.

Plum blossoms bloom and fall.

There are two or three tear stains in the corners of the girl's eyes, her eyes are blank, she holds half of her face, she raises her hand and puts her hand down, the secret runes are lightly embellished, and the plum blossoms outside the window are in full bloom and withering, withering and blooming.

After coming out of the ruins of the valley, Duan Li'er crushed the Yunhai Order, and the first thing she did when she returned to the top of the sky was to use her identity as the ninth princess of Qinghe Prefecture to borrow the Sky Viewing Mirror to find out if Chen Xiaoyu was alive and where he was now.

It's a pity that although the Sky Viewing Mirror is one of the artifacts in Kyushu, because of the lack of spiritual energy in Qinghe Prefecture, the divine power cannot be exerted to the extreme, and it can only detect that Chen Xiaoyu is still alive, but it cannot be tracked infinitely to determine its location.

Knowing the information that Chen Xiaoyu was still alive, Duan Li'er returned to the royal capital with peace of mind, but the few days in the Ruins Cave World were the days when she stayed with Chen Xiaoyu the longest and felt the most appropriate in these years.

In Duan Li'er's eyes, the teenager who traveled to Huaiyang for two years is not so much grinding as growth.

Chen Xiaoyu still needs her protection, but every time she makes a move, Chen Xiaoyu is by his side, using his unique secret method to ignite a ray of light and dispel all the gloom.

Crunch, is the sound of the door being pushed open.

The haggard-faced girl was too lazy to tell the attendants that she didn't want to eat, she folded her hands on the sides of her cheeks and looked at the palace gate from afar.

"Are you thinking about that young man named Chen Xiaoyu?"

The burly figure stood behind the girl, following her gaze to the palace gate.

"Father."

Duan Li'er, who came back to her senses, bit her lip and hugged Duan Ling, and the tears that she had endured for three days were like a flood bursting from the embankment.

"Father, Senior Brother Xiaoyu is still alive, but it's just ...... It's just that he didn't come back and I'm worried he'......"

Duan Ling was silent, allowing his daughter to cry or state what she thought.

Time flew by, and after half an hour, Duan Li'er finally cried so much that she couldn't shed tears, and slowly only sobbed, and no longer stated what she and Chen Xiaoyu encountered in the ruins cave.

At this time, Ling slowly opened his mouth and said, "Let's eat something, it's been three days." ”

The girl shook her head, she still didn't have the heart to eat anything.

Duan Ling sighed: "Your body collapsed like this, what if the news of Chen Xiaoyu came from the royal courts of other eight states and couldn't hear it?" ”

"Is there any news of Senior Brother Xiaoyu?"

I don't know if she didn't hear it clearly or if Duan Li'er had the intention to deceive herself, when she heard Chen Xiaoyu's name, she suddenly raised her head and asked excitedly.

"Not yet, but my father has already sent people to the palaces of the states on the Kyushu mainland, and judging from the distribution of the forces of the royal guards, as long as Chen Xiaoyu is in Kyushu, there will be news in three days."

Duan Ling picked up a bowl of soup, put it in front of Duan Li'er, and said kindly: "I haven't eaten for a few days, drink some soup to warm my stomach, and then I will go to see your little fishing brother beautifully." ”

"Hmm......" Duan Li'er was a little disappointed, but still nodded.

As the ninth princess of Qinghe Prefecture, Duan Li'er naturally knew the strength of the royal guards.

The Royal Guards are a huge force on the surface of the Kyushu Continent, just as Duan Ling said, as long as Chen Xiaoyu is still in the Kyushu Continent, no matter whether he lives or dies, there will definitely be news in three days at the latest.

At this time, Chen Xiaoyu, who was far away in Shencang Prefecture, was lying on a rocking chair in the courtyard of the thatched house, and he was quite enjoying his expression.

After another day, Chen Xiaoyu is really refreshed, he turned to look sideways at the old man Cheng who had not forgotten to read the book in the irrigation vegetable garden, thinking that it would be difficult for him to read poetry and books hard to gain fame at such an old age, and he sighed that the world is difficult, perhaps this is the most conspicuous drawback of the imperial examination system that eats people and harms people.

The clear sunlight shines on the ridges of the vegetable garden, and the water droplets sprinkled outside the garden are covered in mud and sparkle.

"No wonder the ancients wanted to live in seclusion, it's better to farm!" Chen Xiaoyu stretched his muscles and sighed loudly.

Old man Cheng, who was watering the vegetable garden, suddenly stopped what he was doing and reprimanded: "What kind of nerves, eat for nothing!" When you've had enough, keep working! ”

Hearing the sound, Chen Xiaoyu got up, picked up the bucket, and responded again and again.

At this moment, the old woman who had returned from the market pushed open the half-hidden courtyard door, and her steps were hurried, as if there was something urgent.

Old man Cheng put the medical book in his hand together and muttered: "You dead old woman, what is the hurry, if you fall at an age, how can you get it?" ”

Although the tone was a little angry, there was obvious concern in the words.

However, the old woman didn't have the energy to reminisce about the concern in her eyes now, she hurriedly snatched the bucket in Chen Xiaoyu's hand, said a word and took a breath: "Doll, run!" I look at the notice in the market, there's a picture of you! I heard the old people who bought vegetables say that it was a wanted warrant in the palace of King Shencang, saying that the doll in the portrait stole the pigs in the palace's imperial dining room! ”

"Huh? What? ”

Chen Xiaoyu, who looked confused, was dumbfounded, he looked at his empty hands, and stammered: "I steal pigs? Am I so outrageous? ”

"Grandma won't believe them! Hurry up and run away, it's too late! ”

Regardless of it, the old woman dragged Chen Xiaoyu and was about to go to the house, and it seemed that she had to get him some coils.

It's just that it's too late.

A fast horse galloped over, and the person on the seat condensed three spiritual qi flying knives with his bare hands, and shouted: "You are Chen Xiaoyu?" Shencang King Order! The thief is gone! ”

"I want to leave, but you can't stop it!"

Chen Xiaoyu just wanted to put aside the old woman's hand pulling his clothes, but suddenly realized that the three flying knives condensed in the hands of the person on the horse, and immediately gave up the idea of using "teleportation" to slip away, and said righteously behind his hands: "Who are you?" Why are you arresting me! ”

Pegasus jumped up and slammed open the courtyard gate, and the man on the horse took off the token at his waist, held it high, and said in a straight voice: "I am the royal guard, Pegasus Guard!" ”
