At noon, West Lake Langyuan.

This is the place where Liu Xunyi first met Luo Ningyu and Lin Fangda, when the two sides did not know each other, but unexpectedly formed an indissoluble bond from then on, and started a "Jianghu process" that Liu Xunyi will never forget.

Today, when Liu Xunyi came to West Lake Langyuan again, it was time to change, and things were wrong.

Liu Xunyi, who wore a hat, walked on the bustling streets, looking around at the familiar and unfamiliar restaurants and teahouses, and the scenes of the past couldn't help but come to his heart, which made him think a lot of thoughts and feel a lot.

At this moment, his ears seemed to echo Lin Fangda's pride in the restaurant: "Outside the mountain, Qingshan Building, when will the West Lake sing and dance be closed." The tourists who are blown by the warm wind are drunk, and they make Hangzhou Bianzhou. ”

Thinking back to the beginning, it seemed to be such a season, but unexpectedly, it had been three years in the blink of an eye.

At this time, it is still early, so although there are many pedestrians on the street, there are very few people who actually patronize the restaurant business.

As a result, most of the restaurants and teahouses on the street are empty and cold, and some small shops simply close their doors and wait until dusk to welcome customers.

Walk forward in a low-key manner and go straight to a restaurant you frequent. Today, Liu Xunyi did not sit by the lake as he did at the beginning, but buried himself upstairs and sat in the corner of the second floor.

There are two reasons for this.

First, at present, Lin'an City is mixed, I don't know how many people in the rivers and lakes are wandering in the city, looking for Liu Xunyi's whereabouts, as the target of the public, he naturally does not dare to appear in a high-profile manner, so as not to cause trouble.

The two, today Liu Xunyi and people meet, so they choose a secluded place on the second floor to facilitate a secret meeting.

"This is the first time the guest has come, right?

As soon as Liu Xunyi sat down, Xiao Er rushed forward excitedly, wiping the table with a rag while smiling and talking to Liu Xunyi.

"The same old way. Liu Xunyi casually took off the hat and blurted out at the same time.

"The same old way?" Xiao Er was stunned, looked at the absent-minded Liu Xunyi in a daze, and said in astonishment, "What does the guest officer mean......"

Liu Xunyi suddenly woke up to the fact that he hadn't been there for three years, and now even the guys in the restaurant have changed to new people, and he doesn't know himself at all, how can he know what the "old look" in his mouth is?

"Little second brother, I want a jar of apricot blossom wine!"

"Okay! Sit down objectively, the best apricot blossom wine will come soon!"

Looking at Xiao Er's distant back, Liu Xunyi couldn't help laughing at himself, and then let out a helpless sigh in his mouth.

"Oooo

Suddenly, a low sound of footsteps came from the stairs, which shocked Liu Xunyi's spirits, and his right hand subconsciously touched the hat on the table, staring at the staircase without blinking, as if he wanted to identify the person who came at the first time, so as to make the necessary response.

After a while, a slightly clumsy figure came, the man stood at the top of the stairs and looked left and right, and saw that the second floor was empty, only a table of guests in the corner, and his face was happy, and then he panted and walked towards Liu Xunyi.

The person who came was the "distinguished guest" who made an appointment with Liu Xunyi, the little prince Zhao Yu.

"Master, I've found you. ”

When he got closer, Zhao Yu didn't pay attention to Liu Xunyi's greetings, sat at the table, wiped his sweat with a brocade handkerchief, and muttered and complained: "The restaurants and tea shops here are all virtuous, and there are no plaques on the doors. ”

"The little prince forgives his sins, he is in a difficult situation, and he is forced to have no choice but to find this kind of place that is not easy to be found to meet you. Liu Xunyi apologized, "Let the little prince work hard against the sun, and he deserves death for his crimes." ”

"Huh!" Seeing that Liu Xunyi was so humble, Zhao Yu was a little shy, "I don't blame you for this, I just blame those subordinates for being wine bags and rice bags." On weekdays, he boasts of walking all the streets and alleys of Lin'an, and he knows everything about the corners. Who knew that when they were really used, they would be like flies without a head, just bumping around. ”

"Oh?" Liu Xunyi raised his eyebrows and said cautiously, "The little prince is here with his entourage?"

"Rest assured, it's all your own people. Zhao Yu knew Liu Xunyi's thoughts, and said with relief, "I ordered them to guard downstairs, you and I can rest assured that you can catch up with the past." ”

"That's great!"

As he spoke, Xiao Er sent a jar of apricot blossom wine to the table, and then put down two wine bowls, wanting to pour wine for Liu Xunyi and Zhao Yu.

"Let's go down! Liu Xunyi put a silver ingot on the table and ordered, "I'll take it on the second floor for the time being, and don't wait for the idle people to come up." ”

"The little one understands. ”

Xiao Er's eyes lit up, and he quickly picked up the silver ingot on the table, and then ran downstairs with joy.

"Master, I'll pour you wine!"

I don't know if it was out of guilt or pity, Zhao Yu took the initiative to pick up the wine jar and wanted to serve Liu Xunyi to drink.

"I can't help it!" Liu Xunyi hurriedly snatched the wine jar, "The little prince is a daughter, pour me wine, isn't it a torment?"

After that, Liu Xunyi respectfully poured a bowl for Zhao Yu and carefully pushed it in front of him.

"Master, what is the relationship between you and me? Why do you have to stick to these vulgar etiquette?" Zhao Yu was not polite, picked up the wine bowl and poured half of it, then wiped his mouth and got straight to the point, "What do you have to do with me?"

"I want to thank the little prince in person!" Liu Xunyi said, "First, in the early hours of this morning, if the little prince hadn't arrived at Tianji Pavilion in time, I am afraid that it would be difficult to escape a heavy punishment." Both, if it weren't for the little prince interceding for me in front of the Hou Ye, I wouldn't have been able to be free at all. ”

"It's a trivial matter, why worry about it?" Zhao Yu smiled rather embarrassedly, "Actually, I suddenly rushed to Tianji Pavilion, my original intention was not to save you, but I just happened to meet Zhao Yuan and Qiu Han for you." ”

"Oh?" Liu Xunyi looked curious, "That little prince is ......"

"I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say it. Zhao Yuhan said with a smile, "When you left the Rongwang Mansion last night, the whole person was in a very strange state, I was worried that you would do something stupid because you missed Sister Xin, so I hurriedly chased you out, trying to persuade you." But unexpectedly, your light skills are too good, I still can't catch up with you after you closely, and in the end I can only catch up with Tianji Pavilion. I saw Xiao Dingzi, he told me that something happened to you, and then I saw the figure in the Tianji Pavilion, and many people rushed to Qin Wei's residence in a hurry, so I asked Xiao Dingzi to lead the way to find you, and then I met Qiu Han and aggressive......"

"I see. Liu Xunyi suddenly realized, and then with a look on his face, he thanked Zhao Yu again, "Even so, it is a fact that the little prince saved me, and I am grateful." ”

"Hehe, it's a mistake!" Zhao Yu smiled, "But then I pleaded for you in front of Zhao Yuan, and it was really out of my heart." You were betrayed by Qin Wei, and it was already miserable enough to lose Sister Xin, wouldn't it be even more miserable for them to imprison your freedom? I really can't see it, so I said two fair words. ”

The little prince spoke up righteously, and said two fair words to say what he wanted to say but didn't dare to say. Liu Xunyi said gratefully, "No matter what, the little prince treats me kindly, and Liu Xunyi doesn't dare to forget." ”

"The master didn't think I was stupid, and patiently taught me martial arts. Compared to your kindness to me, what is my little favor for you?"

After that, Zhao Yu raised the wine bowl and took the initiative to salute Liu Xunyi, and said in a matter-of-fact manner: "Come! We will also follow those Jianghu people, drink wine and eat meat in large chunks! After drinking this bowl of wine, you have to tell me about your experience outside in the past two years, Xiao Wang is very curious about the things in the rivers and lakes." ”

"The little prince commanded, don't dare to disobey below. Liu Xunyi forced a smile, "It's just ...... It's not appropriate now, and when I have the opportunity in the future, I will return what I have seen and heard to the little prince. ”

"Out of place?" Zhao Yu didn't seem to understand Liu Xunyi's words, "What?

"Tell me the truth, under ...... There is indeed a great urgency. Liu Xunyi mustered up his courage and said, "Actually, I invited the little prince, in addition to thanking him in person, there are ...... A reluctant please. ”

"Reluctantly invited?" Zhao Yu was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and was shocked, "Master, you don't want me to take you to see Sister Xin, do you? If I help you, it will be against the will of the emperor's uncle and against the strict orders of my father, and then not only you will be unlucky, but even Xiao Wang will have to be unlucky with you. Sister Lian Xin...... and there will be no good fruit to eat. ”

"The little prince has misunderstood!" Liu Xunyi said busily, "I know the difficulties of the little prince, and I don't dare to force others." ”

"Is this true?" Zhao Yu was suspicious, "I'm stupid, don't you lie to me?"

"Really!" Liu Xunyi said solemnly, "The forbidden place of the palace, how dare you trespass?"

"That's good!" Zhao Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said with relief, "You can think so, I feel a lot more at ease, otherwise I will definitely regret telling you the truth." ”

Hearing this, Liu Xunyi couldn't help but feel bitter and smiled.

"Say it!" Zhao Yu stretched out his hand and put it on Liu Xunyi's shoulder, and swore a promise, "As long as you don't let me take you to see Sister Xin, I can promise you other things." ”

"Really?"

"Uncle Huang is full of words, and my father is 'eight words and eight things', as for Xiao Wang...... No matter how bad it is, it is 'a word and a blessing'. Zhao Yu joked, "Besides, with the relationship between you and me, how can I refuse you......?"

"I want to ask the little prince, ...... you" Liu Xunyi thought about it repeatedly, his words were intermittent and hesitant, "You ......"

"What are you?"

"Will you be able to see the princess now?"

"This ......" Zhao Yu frowned, and said warily, "What do you mean?

"I hope that the little prince will tell him bluntly!"

Zhao Yu frowned, pondering Liu Xunyi's intentions repeatedly in his heart, and hesitated again and again before he nodded slowly: "According to common sense, I can't see it." ”

As soon as these words came out, Liu Xunyi's face suddenly darkened a lot.

"But if I want to see it, there is a way to see it. Zhao Yu said proudly, "Xiao Wang is the son and nephew of today's saint, and the princess is my sister who grew up with me." Therefore, it is not impossible for me to insist on her. ”

Liu Xunyi's face changed, and an irrepressible joy burst out from the depths of his eyes.

Seeing this, Zhao Yu subconsciously withdrew his hand from Liu Xunyi's shoulder, and said tentatively: "Master, you ...... What do you want to do?"

"Little Prince!"

Before Zhao Yu's words fell, Liu Xunyi suddenly looked right, and knelt on the ground with a "poof", in Zhao Yu's stunned gaze, he took out a letter in his arms, handed it to Zhao Yu tremblingly, and begged: "I don't dare to ask to see Xin'er, but I beg the little prince to send this letter to the palace and hand it over to Xin'er in person...... In this way, I will die without complaint!"
