Li Xi enjoyed the leisurely life on the boat for half a month, if not counting the uncle who always made a presence in front of him, Li Xi believed that he would enjoy it even more.It's a pity that Mr. Xia, who can't rest at all, is almost bored. He has to drag Li Xi to talk about his evil ways all day long, making Li Xi miserable. Seeing Xia Fifth Master just wanted to hide and go.

In the end, Chu Jinheng couldn't stand it any longer, and directly stood in front of Li Xi, pulling Fifth Master Xia to talk about the Buddhist scriptures.Seeing Chu Jinheng speak so clearly, Fifth Master Xia would look at him with adoring eyes, Li Xi's jaw almost hit the deck.

Why did he forget that Chu Jinheng's master is Monk Huiyuan, Chu Jinheng is also considered a half monk, right?This recognition made Li Xi feel a little strange, every time Chu Jinheng wanted to get close to Li Xi to take advantage of him, Li Xi's eyes would be strange, which made Chu Jinheng feel a little bit strange.

But even if he wanted to speak firmly, he couldn't, because whenever Chu Jinheng was about to order something——

"Brother! Brother! Look at the fish that Abi caught in the water. It looks so pretty. Can I eat it?" Li Xue ran into Li Xi's room with a small bowl in her hand. Inside is a small fish that was poisoned to death by Li Xue's pet, Abi.

Chu Jinheng who was holding Li Xi's waist: "..."

Li Xi opened the hands on his waist without hesitation, "Xue'er, come here, brother, take a look for you."

On the deck, after finally sending Li Xue back to sleep, Chu Jinheng held Li Xi's hand——

"Oh, my dear nephew, so you are hiding here! Come on, come on, uncle, I found something unusual with that jade pendant, come and see if uncle is right!" Fifth Master Xia smiled. wave.

Li Xi broke free from Chu Jinheng's hand without hesitation, and followed Fifth Master Xia out of curiosity.

Chu Jinheng who was left behind: "..."

It's unbearable!Li Xue is a little girl, as long as she looks at Li Xi with wet eyes, no one can do anything about her, but Fifth Master Xia, so there is Chu Jinheng standing in front of Li Xi and pulling Fifth Master Xia to talk about Buddhist scriptures thing.

Li Xi was happy to be free, and spent all his time on Li Xue, making up for the time that he hadn't been with her in the past few years.

"Boss, the Linshui Wharf is ahead." The boss of the boat smiled honestly, and pointed the direction ahead to Li Xi.

Li Xue also looked curiously in the direction pointed by the boss of the boat, but unfortunately she saw nothing except the vast water surface and the occasional passing boat.

The boss of the boat was full of pride, "Linshui Wharf is the most prosperous place in our Linshui right now! If you had been here a few years earlier, you wouldn't have seen what it looks like today."

Li Xi and the others chartered a big boat, and the commission they gave was quite generous, enough to feed and drink for the owner of the boat for several years, so he seized the opportunity to publicize their territory to the big boss. I'm so happy, I can't say there will be rewards.

Li Xi was really interested in what the boat boss said, and threw a small piece of silver over, "Tell me everything you know."

The boss of the boat had a happy expression on his face, happily put the money into his sleeves, and talked about how the Linshui Wharf has developed from an abandoned wharf without even a few boats to the bustling bustling bustle of people and businessmen. place.

The process was arduous and the results were brilliant. Although there were some exaggerations in it, Li Xi still knew a lot of information.For example, the county magistrate of Linshui who had the courage to renovate the pier really made Li Xi admire him.

Li Xi was going to Donglin, and Linshui was just a passing station. After crossing this boundary, there would be no waterways, so he could only take dry roads.

Li Xi wasn't worried about these big men, but she was a little worried about Li Xue, a weak girl like Li Xue, who didn't know if she could stand the bumps of the carriage.

But Li Xue was very strong, she didn't complain about suffering or tiredness at all, instead she was smiling all day long.

Li Xi was still very distressed, so after getting off the boat, she planned to rest in Linshui County for two days, and let Li Xue relax.

……

The capital, the imperial study.

The emperor looked at the secret letter in his hand and frowned, "There is nothing unusual. Are you enjoying the scenery and people on the Huaihe River all day?" The content of the secret letter is still not much different from the previous one. Why did Shi Ziye and His Royal Highness Cheng Wang spend so much when they arrived in Jiangnan, and why they were so happy to miss Shu.The emperor didn't doubt that his subordinates would give him false information, but he was still a little uneasy, and always felt that something was wrong, as if, as if he had overlooked something.

The emperor suddenly had a headache, and threw the secret letter into the brazier next to it, and the densely packed paper full of small characters turned into fly ash.

"Your Majesty, excessive worry is not good for your health. The imperial physician also said that you should take good care of your health." Eunuch Xi stepped forward to press the emperor's temples, and the emperor's ugly face gradually eased a lot.

The emperor smiled wryly, "Xiao Xizi, how can I really not worry?"

Eunuch Xi bit his lips and said boldly, "Your Majesty, you see that Prince Li and His Highness Cheng Wang have already left the capital on their own initiative..." Eunuch Xi wanted to say these words to the emperor a long time ago, these The pressure of years on the bottom of his heart also made him very uncomfortable, "Your Majesty, Li Shizi is just a child, the little prince and the old prince, they are all gone after all, the prince..." He can't threaten you at all Ah, why do we need to kill them all?

The emperor understood Eunuch Xi's unfinished words, and his face darkened, "What? Are you fighting for my dead brother? Do you think it's cold-blooded for me to embarrass their only male?"

"I don't dare!" Eunuch Xi hurriedly knelt down, lowering his head as hard as he could, "Slave, I just don't want His Majesty to torture me any more, and my heart aches when I see it."

Although the emperor's face was ugly, he softened a little. Eunuch Xi had been serving him since he was a child, and the emperor knew that Eunuch Xi was really worried about him, so his voice was not so ugly, "Xiao Xizi, you don't understand, you don't understand." The emperor shook his head, looking a little lonely.

Xi Gonggong knelt respectfully, he had been serving the emperor who was still the prince before he entered the palace.He witnessed the friendship between the emperor and the little prince, and the love-hate entanglement with the little princess.Although it was only the emperor who was hot, but at that time the emperor had already become the son of heaven, but he still couldn't get the person he loved the most.

Eunuch Xi didn't know whether to sympathize with the emperor or the little prince whose family was ruined.He knew that after all, the emperor failed his brother, and the emperor himself became a villain, so he wanted to live alone, alone, bear all the sins, and sit on the highest seat that everyone yearned for. position.

He is just a slave, Eunuch Xi sighed secretly, and finally withdrew the pity on his face, became humble and obedient.The emperor doesn't need the pity of a slave like him. The emperor only needs to be high above the ground, and someone will give him everything he wants.Eunuch Xi took a deep breath, he must not be so reckless in the future.

However, the young prince and concubine of the Li family were really a pair of golden boy and jade girl back then. The husband and wife were loving and harmonious, which envied countless people.Now, even the crown prince has become so outstanding, so is your majesty starting to feel uneasy?Uneasy, this is really an anxious word.

Eunuch Xi stopped talking, the emperor only thought he was afraid and didn't bother to think about it.He didn't know that there used to be a person beside him who could be a friend, and there was a person who really thought of him for his sake, and he was not regarded as an emperor, but a real person.It's just that the last person was also killed by him unintentionally just now, and even the emperor didn't even know that he ever existed.That's right, he is the emperor, he is the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, why should he care what an old slave is thinking?

……

Li Xue stared at the busy street, her eyes were full of excitement.

"Brother! Xue'er wants to eat sugar man!" Li Xue pointed to the street vendor, and pulled Li Xi's sleeve full of longing.

Li Xi asked Xiangyun to buy it. Although Xiangyun disliked the unclean street food, but her lady liked it, she hesitated for a while, and went anyway. It should be okay to eat less, right?

"Where did my uncle go?" Li Xi asked Chu Jinheng seeing that Li Xue was having fun.

"Uncle said he was going to add some incense to a nearby temple." Chu Jinheng put his hands behind his back, but his ears were slightly red.

Li Xi raised his eyebrows, "Oh, so my uncle has become Ah Heng's uncle so quickly? The relationship between you two is progressing quite quickly." Li Xi was happy, and couldn't help but tease Chu Jinheng. .This guy was obviously still in conflict with several of his uncles, and he took care of one of them in the blink of an eye. He was really not ordinary capable.

Chu Jinheng coughed without looking at Li Xi, "Ankang's relatives are naturally my relatives."

Li Xi's face also turned red, this guy has figured out all his thoughts, how can people not like him?

Li Xi and Chu Jinheng held hands and walked for a walk in a completely unfamiliar street.

Both of them have first-class looks, so they have attracted the attention of many people on the street.Although some people were curious about why the two big men held hands in the street, but no one showed any disgust.Often just take a look, then look away not to bother.

Nobody here knows them, and nobody accuses them.They are all ordinary people, and they don't have helpless responsibilities. They don't have to worry about anything, and they don't have to bear any infamy.

Li Xi squinted her eyes, thinking that after leaving the capital, even the air would be different.He had also left before, but at that time he was alone and there was no Chu Jinheng by his side.Now that there is one more Chu Jinheng, a vacant place in my heart has been filled.

They continued to walk slowly, step by step, as if they were going to walk a whole life.

Li Xue turned around and saw that her brother and sister-in-law were gradually moving away from her, so she pouted her lips. Sure enough, her brother had a sister-in-law, and her sister had to stand back!

Li Xue's vivid eyeballs rolled, and the corners of her mouth curled up, her brother belonged to her, so she didn't want to give it up to her sister-in-law!Li Xue picked up her skirt and wanted to chase after her, but suddenly found a figure in front of her?

Li Xue looked at the person in front of her in confusion, why did she block her way?

"Little sister, have you lost your way? Will my brother take you to find your family?" The person in front of him said with a smile.

Li Xue instinctively sensed the danger, took a small step back, and shook her head, "No need, uncle, I'm going to find my brother, you're blocking my way."

The smile of the person in front of him froze, "What? Is little sister's brother right in front?"

"Yes." Li Xue tilted her head, her palms were sweating a little, she saw Xiangyun was entangled by several people from the corner of her eye, and she couldn't reach her in a short time, but the direction of her brother was blocked by this wretched uncle up.

"Uncle, get out of the way, okay?" Li Xuechun's eyes were so clear that it made the person in front of her feel a little guilty.

"Little sister, it's better for brother to take you there." A hand stretched out towards Li Xue...

"Where's Xue'er?" Li Xi frowned suddenly, and stopped.

"Go back and have a look." Chu Jinheng also sensed that the atmosphere was not right, and immediately pulled Li Xi around and strode back.

"Xiangyun!" Li Xi looked around, looking around at Xiangyun who was panicked and nervous, and his face sank all of a sudden.

"Young master, young lady! Miss is gone!" Xiangyun finally saw the backbone, and fell to his knees as soon as his feet softened.
