Datang: Hiding private money, exposed by Xiao Sizi

When we came to a dead corner, there was a steep wall as high as five meters in front of us.

this steep wall.

It is also the reason why Lu Lingqi is determined not to bring the eucalyptus, bringing it will only increase the burden of climbing.

And because of the wind and snow, ordinary warriors couldn't climb up the steep wall at all, which is why Lu Lingqi insisted on coming here by herself.

"Your Highness, it will really add trouble to people."

Lu Lingqi rubbed her head with a headache.

next moment.

Putting two large cloaks on her body, and her cloud-patterned combat boots exerting force quickly, like a flying person, Lu Lingqi jumped into the air, her two jade hands firmly grasping the stones exposed by the steep wall.

Do the same, jump again, and grab the upper stone again.

After a few times, she climbed up the steep wall here.

The scenery above the steep wall is only the gray snow.

But at the extremes of the snow,

It was a cliff, and beside the cliff was a young man in black, sitting cross-legged, with his arms folded over his chest, sitting there with his spine straight.

At this moment.

The boy's clothes were thin, his body was almost covered by heavy snow, and his tied black hair danced wildly with the wind and snow.

but.

Even though the wind and snow danced wildly, the boy remained motionless, just sitting there quietly.

People who don't know may think that this person's clothes are so thin, and there is no movement, he has been frozen to death.

But Lu Lingqi is clear.

It's just that His Royal Highness is thinking about something with his eyes closed.

"Your Highness, it's snowing heavily."

Lu Lingqi stepped forward, half knelt on one knee, and put a cloak on the young man.

The boy remained silent.

Seeing this, Lu Lingqi didn't do anything else, she just knelt quietly and waited.

waiting……

The boy's mouth.

At this time, the wind and snow were a little bit heavier, and the cold wind was biting, but the master and slave kept their postures all the time, as if the two had separated from the original world and had nothing to contend with.

half an hour.

The boy opened his eyes.

"It's Lingqi, what are you doing here? Is it time for dinner?!"

The boy spoke.

This young man was naturally the King of Chu, Li Kuan, who had been disappearing all this time.

inaccurate words.

Obviously, Li Kuan fell asleep just now.

In this bitingly cold weather, meditating outside and falling asleep is really outrageous.

But Lu Lingqi took it for granted, took out the letter, and said, "Your Highness, there is still some time for dinner."

"I came here this time because of a letter from the Taoist chief of Chang'an City. They should have summarized in the letter what happened in Chang'an City recently."

"I know you're too lazy to read it, so I'll open it for you and read it out for you."

Lu Lingqi made a gesture to open the letter and chant.

However, Li Kuan stopped her.

"No, you don't have to."

Lu Lingqi was slightly taken aback, her hands froze when she unwrapped the letter, she said in surprise: "Your Highness, what do you mean..."

Li Kuan laughed, his voice full of magnetism.

"Don't be suspicious of employing people, and don't use suspicious people."

"When we left, since everything was left to the Taoist priest, he should naturally make the decision."

"Wait, it's thousands of miles away from Chang'an City, if you judge what to do for the Taoist priest based on a few words in the letter, there will be a mistake."

Lu Lingqi thought for a while, then continued: "Then, Your Highness, I can't make a judgment, so you can take a look, how about it?!"

Li Kuan still shook his head.

"No need."

"After reading the letter, I'm afraid..."

Having said that,

Li Kuan turned his eyes to the distance with deep eyes, and said in an extremely melancholy voice, "I, Li Kuan, will miss Chang'an City and my little Sizi."

Lu Lingqi was slightly taken aback when she heard this, and then smiled bitterly.

She also wants Chang'an City.

this broken place

It's freezing cold, and there's still nothing, and it's incomparable with Chang'an City.

"Then Your Highness, why do you insist on coming here?!"

"If we were in Chang'an City, we would have a geographical advantage, and we would never be at a disadvantage in a few rounds of fights with that Fan Yang Lu family. Since we left Chang'an City, we have no geographical advantage, nor do we have personnel and intelligence advantages. Being chased away by that Fan Yang Lu family like a bereaved dog."

"Your Highness, forgive Lingqi for asking boldly, why do you insist on doing this?!"

Finally, there was an appropriate time to ask about this matter, and Lu Lingqi said it all at once.

The voice fell.

Li Kuan was silent for a while.

Smile.

"You will know about this later."

"Okay, let's not talk about this, Ling Qi, looking down from this angle, what can you see?!"

Li Kuan asked.

They were on the side of a cliff, and there was an abyss at their feet.

Lu Lingqi saw that her Highness didn't intend to answer her question, so she had no choice but to give up. She came to the cliff and looked down. She could see the endless wind and snow, as well as the vast land.

"Is it... the earth?"

Lu Lingqi was not sure.

"No, it's the eyes."

"vision?!"

"That's right, vision! Standing at the highest position, you can see the big picture below and the smallness below."

Li Kuan laughed, looked up at the sky, and continued: "In the past, I was in Chang'an City, in the center of the whirlpool, and many things in Chang'an City limited my vision."

"We, etc., can't see things outside Chang'an City clearly. After coming out this time... I passed through various places and saw the customs and life of each place. Since then, I, Li Kuan, have also seen clearly some things that I hadn't seen clearly before."

"Fan Yang Lu, Big Dipper..."

"They did some strange things before, so I, Li Kuan, can see some of them, and I can understand some of the things Mr. Liu arranged."

"The authorities are obsessed, but the bystanders are clear. Only by jumping out... can you see farther and clearer."

Li Kuan couldn't stop feeling emotional.

At this time, he was caught in some kind of reminiscence, and Lu Lingqi who was beside him didn't hear what Li Kuan said clearly, because she was fascinated by watching Li Kuan halfway through his words, and she was fascinated by the seriousness of his highness.

"Um?!"

half an hour.

After reacting, his face became slightly hot.

Lu Lingqi turned her head away, not daring to look directly at Li Kuan, and asked, "Then Your Highness, what shall I do next?!"

"Continue to search the snow mountain. The thing you are looking for should be on this higher snow."

Li Kuan already had an idea.

Then, something seemed to come to mind.

Keep talking.

"By the way, Ling Qi, what's going on in Xuzhou?!"

Talking about the business, Lu Lingqi became more serious, and replied: "Don't worry, Your Highness, Mr. Yu has already taken people to Xuzhou, and the two tasks you gave him are to protect that gentleman and establish a Damascus steel factory. Finish."

"Ah."

Li Kuan nodded in satisfaction, and then continued to ask: "So, what about Youzhou?!"

"After Mr. Lan left Chang'an City with us, he took advantage of Fan Yanglu's surprise and left the team to lead people there."

Lu Lingqi continued to respond, pursed her red lips for a while, and continued: "His Royal Highness, don't worry, except for these two gentlemen, all the other gentlemen have also followed the plan, separated from us on the road, and headed to the states and counties of the Tang Dynasty. .”

"Under Mr. Liu's strategy, the Patriarch of the Lu family of Fan Yang did not notice that the gentlemen who had left led the team to leave. He always thought that we were the only army, so...we attracted all the firepower."

Li Kuan understood.

"Your Highness, forgive Lingqi for questioning. Mr. Liu seems to have fooled the Patriarch of the Fanyang Lu family with this plan, but... this plan is to use you as bait, and now we have too few people available, isn't it yours? How much more dangerous is it?"

The voice fell.

Li Kuan's face was calm, and he still maintained his sitting posture, looking at another snow mountain in the distance.

"My self, Li Kuan, is being targeted by the Big Dipper, so he is in danger all the time. He just acts as a bait, but it's nothing."

"Ling Qi, Mr. Liu asked you to bring some people to protect Mr. Sun and go to Yizhou a few days ago. Why did you refuse?"

Done.

Then she looked at the heroic Lu Lingqi.

Lu Lingqi turned around quickly, met Li Kuan's eyes briefly, then hurriedly lowered her eyes, and then knelt down towards Li Kuan.

"Your Highness, Ling Qi will only put your safety first!!"

"You... are also the backbone of our big guys. If you are in too much danger, all the gentlemen will also miss your comfort, and they will not be able to complete the task you assigned wholeheartedly."

"With Ling Qi here, they can rest assured!!"

Li Kuan looked at Lu Lingqi, because she lowered her head, she could only see silver hair, and said, "Is it not your selfish intention?"

Lu Lingqi's eyes flashed with panic.

But fortunately, he kept his head down so he wouldn't be noticed.

"It's definitely not Ling Qi's selfishness!!"

Li Kuan smiled and said, "Ling Qi, just ask casually, don't be nervous."

"But... let me tell you the truth. You know that it is extremely dangerous to be with me, Li Kuan. You still have a lot of leisure time when you go to Yizhou with Mr. Sun, but with me, Li Kuan, in the future There are only endless wind and snow and the threat from Fan Yang Lu, you have to think about it."

"It's not too late to turn around now. At night, you can ride a horse alone, leave the snow mountain, and go to Yizhou. This is what Mr. Liu and I meant."

Lu Lingqi heard the words and said seriously: "Your Highness, Ling Qi will not return."

"Why, are you not afraid of death?"

"What fear is there in death? Ling Qi is willing to swear to death to protect His Highness' safety!!"

See Lu Lingqi's serious attitude.

Li Kuan is no longer sticking to his own opinion.

Proudly speak out.
