"It's back, the master is back!"

"Madam, the lord is back."

"I've seen the master."

Stepping into the Yongle Mansion after a long absence, the people immediately greeted him, and then many people went to deliver the news.

Expensive trees are planted in every corner of the palace, the fragrance of ancient trees comes to the nostrils, the gorgeous pillar pavilions, and the beautifully carved screens shine through the sun, and the bamboo leaves make a rustling sound when the breeze blows.

Li Xiao walked into a familiar home, but his heart was full of calm, the scenery was still the same, and the sense of belonging that reassuring came to his heart, it was still good at home.

Through telepathy, Li Xiao had already felt the sound of Ning Yun's fluttering heartbeat, like a deer crashing.

Similarly, Zhu Ningyun also felt Li Xiao's excitement.

She put down the work in her hand, took small steps, and came in the direction of Li Xiao.

There are no words.

The two coincidentally met at Xiaochun Lake, Yunqiao.

"Gently I returned, as gently I walked."

"I'll wave my sleeves and go to see my favorite beautiful girl."

"Ningyun."

"Xiaolang."

When the two met, they looked at each other and smiled, Zhu Ningyun's eyes were bright, and after seeing each other, they seemed to be without the excitement of Fang Cai, and they felt at ease.

When you see each other, you feel like you have the whole world.

The two held hands and walked by the lake, Li Xiao put Ning Yun's tender hands in the palms of his hands, sighed, rubbed them, and said distressedly: "My hands are a little cold." ”

Ning Yun lowered his eyebrows and smiled, his face flushed slightly, nodded and said, "You are not allowed to leave after you finally go back." ”

Li Xiao said: "After this time, there is nothing to do in the future, and I will accompany my wife with peace of mind in the future." ”

"This is what you said, never separate" Zhu Ningyun blinked his crystal clear eyes.

"Hmm" Li Xiao said: "Of course, I can't bear you." ”

"It's really hard work," Zhu Ningyun blamed herself: "If I hadn't been born in the emperor's family, you wouldn't have worked so hard." ”

Zhu Ningyun wanted to try to find a white hair on Li Xiao's head to reflect her distress, but she didn't find it, a black and bright black hair.

Li Xiao rubbed her hands, "What is this called, Aiwu and Wu, since you are my wife, then your family is also my family, do things for your family, what kind of hard work to talk about. Madame, what are you looking for? ”

Zhu Ningyun combed Li Xiao's hair, covered her mouth and smiled: "I'm still worried that my husband is too hard, and I am too worried about having gray hair, I really like Xiaolang's hair."

"What a fool."

Li Xiao gently touched Zhu Ningyun's hair and said with a smile: "Haven't you noticed it yet. The two of us won't get old at all."

After such a long time, sooner or later there will be a day when I can't hide it.

The two of them are forever young, but the people around them are constantly getting older.

Li Xiongzhi and Liu Dakai, who followed Li Xiao at the beginning, are already more than ten years old and very mature.

On the other hand, Li Xiao, the years have not left traces on his face.

It's still the same boy from before, and there hasn't changed in the slightest.

After more than ten years, I won't be able to hide it.

There should be no secrets between husband and wife, so Li Xiao simply said it in advance.

"Huh?" Zhu Ningyun was slightly stunned, and her eyes lit up slightly: "Husband won't be joking?"

Li Xiao looked at the lake, the mandarin ducks were playing in the water, and said with a smile: "Of course not, my husband will never lie to you." ”

Zhu Ningyun was shocked, but soon relieved, her husband can take her to the future world, and such a thing is also possible.

It's just that this is too exaggerated

Zhu Ningyun looked at Li Xiao in surprise: "Husband, what you said is true, you will never get old. Will we really love each other forever? ”

Li Xiao nodded: "Yes, as long as we love each other, we will never grow old." ”

Zhu Ningyun never spoiled except in front of Li Xiao, she leaned her head on Li Xiao's shoulder and said, "Is there any difference in this?" ”

"There is a difference," Li Xiao muttered: "Perhaps, love is a kind of magic, the power of love, can make people young forever."

Zhu Ningyun nodded: "Well, so, this is also the future technology you said, right?" ”

"Technology of the Future"

Li Xiao nodded as if he didn't understand, and shook his head again

At this time, Li Xiao thought about another thing in his heart.

At first, Li Xiao didn't care.

But suddenly, one day, an idea was born in Li Xiao's mind, and then he put it down.

This idea is that from beginning to end, Li Xiao found that the system has always guided him to fall in love with Zhu Ningyun, and the deeper the love, the higher the reward.

Why did the system do this?

Li Xiao didn't know.

Although in the system, the appearance of the emergence of the emergence, without any explanation.

Li Xiao has seen a lot of those.

Never delve into this.

But now the problem is, he did cross over, really crossed.

Coincidentally, he also has systems.

Where the hell did this system come from.

Why is it still a love system.

It's weird.

And the encounter between himself and Zhu Ningyun seems to be so coincidental.

In the dark, it was as if there was an invisible push behind them, pushing them together.

Is it a coincidence?

"Husband." Ning Yun shouted, "What do you think? ”

Li Xiao's thoughts were interrupted, he smiled slightly, and looked at it softly, "No, I didn't think about anything. Miss you. ”

Li Xiao is a person who is at ease with what happens, and the principle of life is to do it if you can do it, and give up if you can't do it.

What I just thought about was nothing more than my own cranky thoughts.

It's true to live the life you have now.

"I hate it, people are right in front of you." Zhu Ningyun played with Li Xiao's fingers, and her happy appearance was very cute.

"What's next?" Zhu Ningyun asked: "I don't want my husband to continue to worry about the imperial court, it's enough." ”

Li Xiao said: "Is it enough? ”

Zhu Ningyun nodded, "Enough, really, I'm not joking, although you have gained extremely high trust and have never had the authority you have ever had, but when it's time to quit, just quit." ”

Zhu Ningyun is thinking about Li Xiao.

This year, Li Xiao is extremely majestic.

Holding the sword of Shang Fang to kill a first-class official, mastering the brocade clothes to defend the Qing court, using the blank holy decree to change the law, and using the army to suppress the local heroes, all this. There are too many trespasses.

People must learn to know how to advance, but also to know how to retreat.

Quitting when you are successful is the best choice.

After all, his surname is Li, not Zhu.

"Well, ma'am, you're right, it's time for me to quit."

Li Xiao held Zhu Ningyun and blew a cool breeze, which was extremely comfortable, "The royal power is rich and noble, but it is just a passing cloud; Fame and fortune are nothing but dust. With a beautiful woman for a long time, this life is enough."

"Husband, you are so good, you can listen to what I say from beginning to end." Zhu Ningyun looked at Li Xiao, the man he loved all his life.

Li Xiao also looked over, Ning Yun Xuexue skin and jade face, eyebrows like spring mountains, eyes like autumn water, just like Chang'e in the Moon Palace, down to the earth, beauty is incomprehensible, from beginning to end is so beautiful, no woman in the world can compare.

Other women are like stars and moons compared to their wives, and they will never be able to compete for brilliance.

And such wonderful people will always be by their side.

Forever and ever, life is a blessing.

On the second day, Zhu Di summoned him and said he was sick.

On the third day, Zhu Yuanzhang summoned him and said he was ill.

On the fourth day, the crown prince Zhu Gaochi came to visit in person and was bedridden.

After Zhu Gaochi left, Li Xiao got up again lively, and talked to Ning Yun together, tired of being together.

At night, in the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Di was eating.

Thinking that he couldn't see Li Xiao's shadow in the past few days, he couldn't help scolding: "This son-in-law, pretending to be sick, with his medical skills, who believes it, isn't this fooling me as a fool??" ”

Empress Xu on the side smiled and said: "Your Majesty, isn't this obvious, Li Xiao pretended to be sick, knowing that you would definitely not believe it, and it was because of this that he secretly revealed his intentions."

Zhu Di is not a fool on his side, he has already faintly noticed something.

This is Li Xiao who wants to unload the burden, not asking about the affairs of the government and politics, and going to live happily with his daughter.

"But."

Zhu Di said angrily: "The imperial court is going to fight in many places now, and it is the time to employ people, even if he wants to go into hiding, he will have to talk about it in a few years." ”

Empress Xu smiled: "It's too cold to be in a high place, when it really comes, Li Xiao will only get higher and higher, so it's better to quit now, but also to protect yourself." ”

"What to protect yourself."

Zhu Di frowned: "Is he still afraid that I will not be good for him?" He is my good son-in-law, so how can I take any precautions against him? Except that he can't be the emperor, I won't blame him for anything he wants to do! He's clearly lazy. ”

"Alright, Your Majesty, dissipate your anger."

Empress Xu got up and gently softened Zhu Di's temples, making him look soothed, and then said slowly: "With Li Xiao's temperament, it must be something left, and it is enough to make Daming extremely strong, so I quit." If there is really anything in the future, do you think Li Xiao will sit idly by? ”

After Xu Miaoyun's explanation, Zhu Di relieved himself and said, "That's it, just let this kid go happily, I am not an unreasonable person." ”

Xu Miaoyun smiled and said: "Yes, let him have a good life, at the beginning of this year, Ning Yun and Li Xiao originally wanted to travel, but they were not disturbed by you, and forced Li Xiao to go to Nanjing to reform the law." Now that the change is over, it is time for the family to relax and relax, not for Li Xiao, but also for the sake of the daughter."

Zhu Di nodded, recalled the past, and said with emotion: "Yes, at the beginning, I just wanted to find a man who was good to Ning Yun, but I asked too much, let him go."

Imperial Palace, Hongwu Palace.

Zhu Gaosui was secretly reporting to Zhu Yuanzhang about Li Xiao.

"Stinky boy, let's guess he's just pretending to be sick."

Knowing the truth, Zhu Yuanzhang said unhappily: "I didn't say that I would come to see our old man." ”

Zhu Gaosui whispered: "I'm afraid my brother-in-law wants to retire and leave a good reputation."

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted and said, "Want to learn from Tang and that old guy?" Tang He's age, let's not be too lazy to care, how old is Li Xiao? None of the beards have grown. ”

"This"

Zhu Gaosui actually didn't want to report such a thing, but he couldn't deceive the king, and even if he didn't say it, there were other Jinyi guards who could investigate it.

He thought for a while, and said with a flattering smile: "Imperial grandfather, although my brother-in-law doesn't have a beard, his actual age is forty years old. ”

"Well, that's right." Zhu Yuanzhang was slightly stunned, and said strangely: "This kid shouldn't have the art of immortality, right?" ”

Zhu Gaosui whispered: "It shouldn't be, this is a medical technique for rejuvenating the face, called a mask, and the queen mother has also used it, and she is not old after many years." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "I see, no wonder your mother is still so young, Ning Yun is even younger, in her thirties, she is still like an eighteen-year-old girl, it's really amazing But this Li Xiao is a big man, and he is like a woman, it really is. We don't know what to say."

Zhu Gaosui said with a smile: "Imperial grandfather, brother-in-law is afraid that he wants to play around with his sister, and he has been planning for a long time. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a long time and said: "That's it, let him go, and then look for him out of the mountain when there is a problem, and he won't dare to refuse us." ”

In this way, Zhu Yuanzhang no longer pursued the matter, but began to plan for the future of Daming.

He looked at Zhu Gaosui and said, "Gaosui, your continent has to be managed well, and you must set an iron law and never betray it." ”

Zhu Gaosui: "Grandson takes orders."

East Palace.

Zhu Gaochi was eating, and then he realized that something was wrong, and said angrily:

"On the lonely table, why are there some clear soups and little water?"

"Someone, someone"

On the table, there are dishes such as green vegetables and tofu, sweet potatoes and vegetarian meat, no wonder Zhu Gaochi is displeased, he is a person who is very passionate about food.

"Stop shouting, shout what"

The crown princess Zhang left, glanced at him and said, "Brother-in-law said, from now on, you are not allowed to eat high-fat and high-sugar food, you have to maintain your health!" Otherwise, you won't have a few years to live. ”

Yesterday, Li Xiao changed the pros and cons to Zhang's listen, Gao Chi's face was dark, and his life was short, and he had to be banned.

Otherwise, he, the crown prince, will have to burp before he ascends to the throne of the great treasure.

Hearing this, the Zhang family made up their minds that they had to save the prince's life no matter what, if Zhu Gaochi left, he, the crown princess, would have a hard time.

"Brother-in-law really said that?"

Zhu Gaochi sighed: "I remember that I used to say that I had thirty years to live alone, but now twelve years have passed, and there are still eighteen years."

Zhang Shi said angrily: "Eighteen years, it's obvious to you, right?" In any case, you can't eat big fish and meat, you have to be vegetarian. ”

Zhu Gaochi: "Oh"

Zhu Zhanji: "Mother, what about me?" I'm still growing up. ”

Zhang: "You are like your father, a vegetarian!" ”

Zhu Zhanji: "."

On the fifth day, early in the morning.

Yongle Mansion.

After a few days, the walls of the Yongle Mansion were raised.

It was also topped with barbed wire, which was a full height.

"My brother-in-law actually raised the fence and installed barbed wire, this is to prevent me and the third child, right?"

At this time, Zhu Gaoxu was in a no-man's land in the southeast corner of the Yongle Mansion.

"Don't bother me"

He glanced at the barbed wire, put on white gloves for himself, and prepared to climb over the wall to see how his brother-in-law was doing.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't believe that his brother-in-law would get sick, but his mind couldn't turn around, and he didn't know Li Xiao's intention to go into hiding, so he planned to go in and take a look in person.

With his physical fitness, he jumped hard and jumped next to the wall.

Then he took out the big scissors and clicked the scissors to pick up the barbed wire.

Trying to cut out a hole and sneak through it.

Chang Yingwu, a patrol guard within the walls, quickly noticed it.

"It's the King of Han. Forget it, as if I don't know"

When he saw that it was Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, he sighed and pretended not to see it, and waved his hand to drive the others away.

Although the barbed wire fence is to prevent Zhu Gaoxu, but Zhu Gaochu is so thick-skinned, he doesn't dare to stop him, who made him the king of Han

Not long after, Zhu Gaoxu smoothly entered the Yongle Mansion and began to move slowly, looking for the shadow of his brother-in-law, and soon found Li Xiao and his sister in a garden.

At this time, Li Xiaozheng and Ning Yun held hands, affectionate.

"Okay, I also said that I was sick, isn't this Qingqing and me, I'm really not ashamed in broad daylight. Hey, it seems like no one is approaching, except me."

In this way, Zhu Gaoxu turned into Voldemort, prostrate in the grass, and observed carefully.

And on the other side.

Li Xiao and Ning Yun held hands and walked by the lake, and Zhu Ningyun took the lead and said: "It's a little boring to be in the mansion every day, why don't we go to Annan to play, Xiaolang, you said those eight places, I want to go." ”

The eight places Li Xiao said are naturally the ultimate tasks released by the system, namely: climbing Mount Everest, Shangri-La Xanadu, Bolivian Sky Realm, and Icelandic Aurora.

Once you've completed the ultimate quest, you'll get the ultimate reward.

Li Xiao nodded and said, "Okay, when will you leave?" ”

Zhu Ningyun thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "Forget it, you still can't leave the house for the time being, husband, you are still pretending to be sick, although the emperor's grandfather and father must know it, but it can't be too fake." ”

And it is.

Li Xiao's purpose of pretending to be sick was to go into hiding, obviously Zhu Di and Zhu Yuanzhang didn't make any moves, they just acquiesced.

But in the process of pretending to be sick, he ran out to play, which was a bit too fake, so that the civil and military officials could see it, wouldn't this be a proper deception, and some ignored the saints.

Li Xiao said: "What Madame said is also true, but in the house, it is indeed boring."

Zhu Ningyun thought about it, suddenly her eyes lit up, and she said: "By the way, otherwise, let's go to the future to take a look, husband, you said that the history that changed in the Ming Dynasty will change in the future, and I really want to see if the Ming Dynasty can last forever in the future." ”

Thinking of the future, Zhu Ningyun is still very nostalgic for the last time she went to the playground with her husband, very wanton and indulgent.

As soon as he heard this, Li Xiao was also interested and said, "Okay! Good idea, let's go to the future and have a look, just one day, it won't attract anyone's attention, and you can also change the environment to play. ”

"And when are you going?"

Zhu Ningyun asked excitedly.

The joy is indescribable, and it is clear that I can't wait.

"What are you waiting for, right now."

Li Xiao smiled slightly and took Ning Yun's hand: "Let's go!" ”

[Husband and wife both return home, active props. Active Effect: Take your lover back to the world before you traveled back in time and enjoy a special journey to the other world together! Only in this way can love become as fresh as ever! (Hint: every time you go back, there will be a surprise!) ）】

After using the props,

Li Xiao and Zhu Ningyun "sighed" and disappeared on the spot.

Afar.

When Zhu Gaoxu saw this scene, he was shocked beyond measure.

He rubbed his eyes and looked again.

It's still empty.

The two of them disappeared without a trace right under his nose.

Zhu Gaoxu's scalp suddenly went numb, and Nan Nan said:

"Oh my God, what did I find."

"Brother-in-law and sister are gone"

The next second.

Li Xiao and Zhu Ningyun traveled through time and space, returned to the future, and traveled through the previous time.

"Huh?"

Li Xiao, who appeared in the room, was suddenly stunned.

Unlike the last time I crossed back, after the last time I crossed back, everything was still normal, and I returned to the house before the crossing.

And the scene in front of him really surprised Li Xiao.

This is a small house, the layout inside is full of a sense of technology, the whole room seems to be poured in one piece, between the metal wall and the metal wall, there are different shapes and colors to distinguish the structure.

Even the coffee table seems to grow out of the floor, and the shape is very simple, it is a metal table, and the sofa is the same, but fortunately there seems to be a layer of orange soft cushions on the top, and an off-white metal structure underneath.

"Is this still my room? What year and month is it? ”

Li Xiao took a deep breath and tried to find a mobile phone in the room to check the time, but there was no mobile phone at all.

He pulled Zhu Ningyun and groped around the room to observe.

The bedroom has also become extremely technological, with a bed with a semi-arc floating shape next to the bed, which should be a table.

However, the original tables and chairs in the room are gone, replaced by metal tables, and strangely, there is no computer on the seat.

"The world has changed." Li Xiao muttered.

If I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid that the current technology is much better than before I crossed over, and all of this is caused by myself.

"Xiaolang, why don't you have the warm feeling of being here last time, it's a little cold"

Zhu Ningyun held Li Xiao tighter, although the temperature in the room was not cold, the overall tone was relatively cold, giving people an illusion.

"I think so, too."

Li Xiao seemed to be in an unfamiliar environment, very unfamiliar with everything around him, and very uncomfortable.

This kind of experience is exactly the feeling that Ning Yun felt when he followed Li Xiao through time and space for the first time and came to Li Xiao's house.

The difference is that last time, Li Xiao patiently explained to her, but now, Li Xiao himself is confused.

"Ningyun, it should be that after we changed history, science and technology have improved again, and it has surpassed the era before I came."

Li Xiao explained: "I have to get to know better. ”

"Hmm."

Zhu Ningyun nodded, followed behind Li Xiao, looking around the room, groping, and observing.

The whole room is decorated very simply, unbelievably simple, except for the bed, the table, everything else is gone.

The strangest thing is that you can't see anything like any appliances.

"Let's go, look out the window."

Li Xiao pulled Ning Yun and walked to the window of the room, looking at the scenery outside, the scenery outside was so good, there were some ideas to attract Li Xiao.

Outside the window, the sun is shining, the sky is blue and the clouds are white, and the auspicious clouds are floating.

Li Xiao looked down through the window, and instead of seeing the streets and busy scenes, he saw the beach and the ocean, and the scenery was picturesque.

The waves crash against the beach, making a soft sound, and you can even feel the breath of the ocean.

"I'm a sea view room?? Facing the sea and blooming in spring? ”

Li Xiao was very surprised, no matter how advanced the technology is, his hometown is also in Jiangcheng, not close to the sea at all, and it is also far away from the river, more than ten miles away.

Li Xiao tried to push open the window, stretched out his hand, and miraculously found that his hand actually touched a cold wall through the scene in front of him, which felt very much like metal.

"What's going on?"

Li Xiao was a little surprised, retracted his hand, and then reached in again, passing through the scene again.

This sense is so amazing that it feels like walking through a real picture.

"My God" Li Xiao sighed.

"What's wrong, husband?" Zhu Ningyun asked.

Li Xiao was surprised: "The scene outside this window is fake, it's too exaggerated, it's just fake!" ”

"Fake?"

Zhu Ningyun looked left and right, frowned slightly, shook his head and said: "It's impossible, it's not like an electronic screen, no matter what angle you look at, you can see the scene in front of you, I can even smell the smell and feel the warmth of the sun."

Zhu Ningyun has watched TV, and understands that the scene on TV is fake, but the scene in front of her is clearly true.

"But my hands can walk through this landscape"

Li Xiao put his hand into the scenery and said in surprise: "This technology is too realistic, much more powerful than any naked-eye 3D, whether we look up or down, we can see the real scenery."

That's right, the scenery in front of him is real, and he can't tell the truth from the fake at all, if it weren't for Li Xiao stretching out his hand, he wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

Suddenly, an electronic synthesized female voice sounded in the room:

"Dear master Li Xiao, hello, do you want to close the curtain wall, open the window, and watch the real scene?"

Artificial intelligence?

Li Xiao was slightly stunned, and then said, "Yes, open the window." ”

"Okay master, please wait."

Electronic synthesized sound loop.

Then, the scenery in front of me suddenly disappeared.

What caught my eye was a silver impermeable steel wall, and in the next second, the entire wall was slowly changing color.

That's right, Li Xiao thought that this wall would be pushed open from side to side, or up and down to open the window.

But it didn't.

It's becoming more and more transparent.

It is hard to imagine that this metal wall will actually change its attributes by itself, which is beyond the scope of Li Xiao's cognition.

Oh my God, what exactly is this principle?

The metal wall gradually changed from metal to glass, and the whole process took less than three seconds.

Gradually, it changed from a very thick transparent glass to a more transparent glass, and after a few seconds, it became clearer and clearer, as if the glass had also disappeared.

In Li Xiao's senses, this wall had disappeared, and he felt that he would fall from here if he was not careful.

Li Xiao tried to touch it forward with his hand, and his fingers felt the touch, and he could feel the existence of the wall, but the wall was "invisible".

But Li Xiao can actually feel the wind outside.

"Out of My Sky"

Zhu Ningyun looked out the window, and the whole person was surprised.

Li Xiao also looked over.

The sky outside the window was gray and heavy, and the blue sky and white clouds disappeared, replaced by a gray cloth-like sky.

The sight outside, it's fantastic!

A series of steel high-rise buildings rise up to the sky, not high, just like Optimus Prime, as if to poke out a hole in the sky, and such high-rise buildings are dense, very many, countless.

Li Xiao found that he also existed on such a tall building, and when he looked downstairs, he couldn't see the scene below clearly.

This sense of distance tells him that he is at least at a height of more than a thousand meters, that is, this building has exceeded a thousand meters!

Li Xiao looked up, and his floor was not the top at all, there was at least a thousand meters above, or even more.

Outside the window, Li Xiao also saw several vehicles similar to cars, roaring away.

That's right, Li Xiao saw the car flying in the sky, shuttling

If you look closely, it seems that the sky is full of such cars.

Steel high-rise buildings and various flying props make Li Xiao feel like he is in a science fiction movie

"It's magical, time doesn't change, has technology actually developed to this point??"

Li Xiao said incredulously.

For a while, he was a little unable to adapt, and he had to look at history first to see what had happened in the past few hundred years.

"Close the windows."

"Yes, master."

This unknown AI immediately closed the windows, and the transparent walls turned into a beach and the sea in a matter of seconds.

To be honest, Li Xiao was a little excited and wanted to see the current level of science and technology, but at the same time, he was a little uncomfortable, and he couldn't say where it was.

"Turn on your computer."

Li Xiao commanded again.

He felt that the room should have a computer, but it was hidden and needed to be opened by AI.

The AI electronic synthesized voice replied: "Master, you are talking about the light brain, right?" Computers are 300 years old, and if you need one, you may need a printer. The small printer in the room can be used, you can print one on the spot, it takes 1 hour, consumes 100 grams of atomic materials, and costs 1000 coins, do you need to print? ”

Li Xiao was stunned, the printer can print out the computer?

Can the chip be printed?

Isn't the top-notch lithography machine of its own era a waste?

Li Xiao was shocked, thought for a while, and said, "Then turn on the light brain." ”

"The light brain opens—"

The voice fell.

In front of Li Xiao, a light curtain appeared out of thin air.
