Records of the King of Xin'an County

The pattering rain falling in the dense forest is like a tight and regular rhythm of music, which sounds very soothing and natural.The prince offered his bow and arrow persistently, as if he was strolling in a garden, stepping on the bloody ground, and came to the bearded man nailed to the tree by an arrow through his shoulder.The man was pulling out his arrow with pain, his brown clothes were covered with blood.Seeing that he was about to pull out the arrow, Wang Zixian shot another arrow towards his other shoulder.

The man gasped in pain, his hands dropped down, and he could no longer use his strength.He raised his eyes and looked at the aristocratic young man in front of him who would not lose his demeanor even if his body was stained with muddy water. There was a complex look in his eyes.

Wang Zixian looked at him with a smile, as if looking at a stranger.The man immediately lowered his head, as if trying to hide his face.Unexpectedly, the young man suddenly smiled and said: "You think I can't recognize you if you grow a beard? I remember every part of the Wang family clearly, without exception. Zhou Zhoulang, can you imagine?" It is indeed better than those people who pretended to be robbers before to come up with a way to fake the collapse of rocks and kill people."

Zhou Zhoulang was stunned, gritted his teeth and admitted: "Mr. Da Lang, some people are also following orders—"

"Do you think that when I say you are idiots, I mean that you don't know how to cover up your traces and leave holes everywhere in this mountain forest?" Wang Zixian interrupted him, "You think that when I say you are idiots, I mean Does it mean that I have seen through that you are following behind and waiting for an opportunity? Does it mean that I noticed your plan and stopped King Pu's convoy from moving forward?"

Tuesday Lang was silent, his eyes suddenly sank.

However, Wang Zixian raised the corners of his lips and showed an elegant smile: "Do you know why I suddenly thought of going to Junzhou? And why did I go with King Pu's motorcade? Why did it happen that I gave you such a gift from God by such a coincidence?" A good opportunity? Can you guys follow the so-called "kill two birds with one stone" strategy and risk killing King Pu in the name of killing me?"

Hearing this, Zhou Zhoulang was in shock, as if he realized that both the master behind him and himself had underestimated the young man in front of him.At this time, there was a sudden rustling sound in the woods.He concealed his ecstasy, hurriedly pretended to be struggling, and shouted loudly: "Mr. Da Lang, I know I was wrong!! I don't want to respect such a vicious person, I always want to follow Mr. Da Lang! If Mr. Da Lang doesn’t dislike it, from now on, I’m willing to serve Mr. Da Lang as my master—” As he spoke, he found that the young Mr. Lang opposite him actually smiled, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart .

But Wang Zixian just sighed leisurely: "It's too late..."

As soon as he finished speaking, four or five young men in brown clothes and short jackets walked out of the forest.They held knives or swords in their hands, blood was dripping on the sharp blades, and the evil spirit scattered all over their bodies. It was obvious that they had killed many people just now.The leader looked at Zhou Zhou Lang indifferently, and crossed his hands to the prince: "A Lang, it has been dealt with cleanly." The name A Lang means that in their eyes, this is the only master of the Wang family.And the nominal head of the family is meaningless to them, and it is even more impossible to follow him.

Tuesday Lang's eyes were wide open, and he couldn't believe his eyes: "You... you... dare to betray the Lord!"

"A certain class has always respected A Lang as the master." Several young men glanced at him disdainfully, "Those who are despicable and sinister, and who intend to plot against their superiors, are not worthy of being the master at all! Poor you, you only have glory and wealth in your eyes, and you only want to How come you have never thought that after doing such a thing, the Wang family can accommodate your life?! Can it accommodate your parents, brothers, wife and children?! It is simply ridiculous!"

Zhou Zhoulang was stunned for a moment, his eyes were about to split open: "No! Impossible! Impossible! They clearly promised me that as long as they kill King Pu according to this plan—"

"Kill King Pu? It's ridiculous! How can a mere royal family bear the charge of murdering the royal family?" Wang Zixian narrowed his eyes and smiled coldly, "Even if you want to use Li Daitao's trick, pretend it's time to murder me. Inadvertently implicated King Pu's family. As long as the clues are found, the emperor's thunderous anger can still turn the Wang family of Shangzhou into a mass of powder! The self-righteous thought of this "good plan" to flatter the superior will be used by others. Those who don't know it, and those who implement this plan and try to kill two birds with one stone, are out-and-out fools!"

If it wasn't for his deliberate guidance, he would follow his plan, send people to persuade them to adopt this strategy of killing two birds with one stone, and then secretly eliminate this matter invisible, I don't know what uncontrollable tricks those wolves who are ambitious, ignorant and stupid will come up with!

Unfortunately, these fools who are easily used by others, treated as pawns and complacent about not knowing the truth, are blood relatives that he can never get rid of.I don't know when he will have the opportunity to completely tear these people away from him.Calculating his life is not enough, and the entire clan is also involved, he really can't bear it anymore.

Living under the same roof with such a person is torture every moment.It's not as good as leaving home to travel alone, let alone the so-called "friends" he deliberately made.

Li Hui suddenly appeared in front of him looking over with concern, Wang Zixian paused, and then said in a low voice: "If you don't believe me, why not go back to Shangzhou to inquire now. That family is more vicious than you. Be clearer. If you still want to survive or take revenge, follow me temporarily. Remember, I will never trust you. However, as long as you obey my orders and do not betray me, there is a place for you in the series." There are too few available people around him, he must gradually accumulate his own strength, and every available person must not be wasted.

Zhou Zhoulang was stunned, and struggled to pull the two arrows off his shoulders, blood spattered immediately.But he didn't seem to feel any pain, and threw himself in front of Wang Zixian, splashed with blood-colored mud all over his body: "I am willing to follow Alang! A Lang sent! If you betray, you will be taught to strike with lightning one day! You will die!"

After the master and servant of the Wang family went down the mountain, Li Hui soon received the news from the guards.He left the bullock cart to meet him, and saw Prince Xian walking towards him with two wild pheasants with gorgeous feathers and a smile.Even with blood stains and mud all over his body, he still looked calm and energetic.

"The rest of the rocks in that canyon are very stable and will not collapse again. When I came down the cliff, I shot two pheasants and brought them back to roast and eat with you. However, one of them failed to kill with one arrow and struggled. After a few hits, blood was spilled all over my body. When I walked over, many people thought I was injured."

Li Hui looked him up and down, and sure enough there was no scar, so he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: "Hurry up and change your clothes, let the servant clean up this pheasant, and then I will roast it for you to eat."

"You know how to roast meat?" Wang Zixian raised his eyebrows.Even though King Pu had already been demoted to the fiefdom, the young man in front of him was still the king of a small county with golden branches and jade leaves.Seeing that the princess treats him very fondly, how could he let him learn the skill of roasting meat at such a young age?

"Of course." Li Hui laughed, "Not only can I roast meat, but I'm also good at cooking fish." He didn't miss any of the rumored skills that the noble sons of Chang'an must learn.Even if you never have the opportunity to entertain guests or compete with others, entertaining yourself is a kind of fun, isn't it?

As night fell, bonfires lit up the post road.Li Hui and Wang Zixian sat around a certain fire, skillfully turning the pheasant meat on the fire.After it was cooked, Li Hui cut a large piece and offered it to the prince. He watched him taste it with piercing eyes, and couldn't help but ask, "How does it taste?" evaluate.

"That's right, it's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, which shows that you really put in the effort." The prince nodded, urging him to try the one he roasted himself, "Try my roasted one? I often sleep in the wilderness, and I have not less roasted it." He thinks that his skills are no less than that of his own cook.” Except for his old servant who will only praise him no matter what he does, he has never let others taste his cooking.

"Really?" Li Hui tasted it, and couldn't help but praise: "It's really better than me!" He deliberately cut some meat from two roasted pheasants, and ordered someone to honor Li Tai and Yan.Yan Shi also sent people to give them goose soup, sesame seed cakes, clear soup cakes (clear soup noodles), etc., and told him not to eat too greasy, so as not to hinder the medicine.

There is not much meat on the wild pheasant, but it is gone after eating a little.Li Hui was a bit unsatisfied. Under Zhang Fu's mother's caring eyes from a distance from time to time, he could no longer eat meat and could only choose clear soup and cakes: "Zixian, how about we go hunting tomorrow? Anyway, the post road is blocked , instead of waiting here, it's better to exercise your muscles."

"If Your Majesty is interested, I will accompany you of course. By the way, I heard the faint sound of the stream before, why don't you go and look for it to see if there are any fish?"

"Why? Do you still want to try the fish cake I made?"

"of course."

However, the agreement between the two did not come true.The next day, Li Tai, who was in a hurry to return to Chang'an, was so restless that the corners of his mouth were covered with blisters, and he could hardly speak.While persuading him to drink some fire-fighting soup, Yan Shi told the sergeants to clear the post road as soon as possible.

Seeing this, Li Hui frowned, and discussed with Dian Jun and Chang Shi: "Shouldn't you just take some people over this canyon on foot and leave the chariot and horses temporarily?"

"If you don't have a car or a horse, you can only walk. You have to walk for at least two days to get to the next post." Dian Jun replied, "At that time, the post road has already been dredged."

"Grandfather is very anxious, so it's better to let him go first. Otherwise, I'm worried that he will fall ill." Li Hui shook his head, "Mother can stay here with the car for a while, and I will accompany Grandpa across the road. Escort him to the posthouse to rest, and then turn around to meet his mother. Zi Xian, carry the eaves and cross the canyon, do you think it is feasible?" His grandfather's doughy figure is the first thing he faces when walking on the mountain road Difficult.If you can't walk on weekdays, how can you still walk on the rugged mountain road?It is necessary to let people take turns to lift the eaves.

"As long as you are careful, you should be fine. Send some people to open the way first, and you will be able to go around in a day and night at most." The prince offered, "I heard that the Dian army has sent people to the nearby Zhechong Mansion to report and follow them to explore the way. It should be considered safe to cross the canyon with the trace left behind." When he descended the cliff yesterday, he happened to see that group of guards hurriedly passing by.

Li Hui made a prompt decision and ordered the Dianjun of the Marriage Office and the Tennei Palace to make arrangements immediately.Afterwards, he and Wang Zixian went to see Li Tai.
