Who is the world

Five days later, Han Xie left two days earlier than expected, and Xu Zixu's injuries, large and small, healed as Han Xie said.

It had been seven days since they were captured, and Chu Yi and the others were still on the border of Tianpei, they didn't continue to march towards Beicheng, and they didn't even show signs of leaving, which made Xu Zixu a little concerned.

For that man, he always has a feeling of incomprehensibility.

The loss at Chu Yi's hands was enough to make him resentful and vigilant.

Another thing that worries him is the current situation of Fang Yehong and Qiu Shaofeng, but since the Tianpei army has retreated, they will not be in great trouble, but...

Let's hope they don't act rashly.

Xu Zixu's elegant and indifferent face moved slightly, and he frowned lightly.

His own current situation is extremely delicate, he has not received any punishment, but has been treated politely by everyone, but he knows in his heart that these are just Chu Yi's instructions.After all, he is a foreign race, so it is impossible for them to really respect him.

What he cared most about was the deep meaning of Chu Yi's actions. Sometimes he would inadvertently meet those dark eyes, and he would feel a slight chill down his spine unconsciously.

Chu Yi didn't send anyone to watch him, as long as he didn't go out of this other building, he wasn't grounded, even the Luoxiang Tower where Chu Yi lived now was allowed to go.

Since there is no restriction, once he can get out of bed once he resumes his actions, he is also happy to watch and watch everywhere, familiarize himself with the environment he is in, and it is always necessary to find out the pattern. No matter what the ending is, preparation is still necessary.

After another two days, he was almost familiar with half of the annex, especially the location of his Luoyangzhai, as well as the general location and layout of several other courtyards, as well as several entrances and exits. Got an approximate understanding.

Due to the temporary internal force being blocked, he did not forcefully rush away, which would actually damage his body too much, it is better to wait and see what happens, but also because there is no internal force for the time being, it is difficult to find out the distribution of guards in the other hall.So far, he has only figured out the general situation in his own courtyard, but he doesn't know anything about other places. But if the other party's vigilance principles are similar, then he can use Luoyangzhai's situation to analogize other places. Make an estimate.

However, since a shrewd person like Chu Yi is so bold enough to let him move around freely, he must not be afraid that he will run away, so the facts are open to question.

The candles flickered in the room, and Xu Zixu stood by the half-open window, quietly looking up at the new moon in the sky.

December in the north was already quite cold, especially at night, but Xu Zixu just wore a thin white silk robe and let the cold wind blow in through the window.

The door creaked open, Xu Zixu looked back lightly, and saw the arrogant black and red dress again, the difference was that today he was wearing an exquisite and luxurious cloak, of course it was also black.

Xu Zixu was slightly wary in his heart, but his face was still as calm as water.

In the past few days, Chu Yi did not appear in front of him very frequently. Except for the first four days, the other party would grab him to apply medicine in the morning and evening, and he was not there for the rest of the time. disappeared.

Come here tonight, I don't know why...

However, the calculation time is almost the same. It's time for apportionment, and it's not a big deal for him to be so up and down.

In addition, for many days, Xu Zixu has no news from the outside world at all, maybe he can learn something tonight...

"I haven't been able to visit the prince for many days, please forgive me. I wonder if the prince is still used to living here? Is the dinner satisfactory?" Chu Yi strode in, took off his cloak and threw it on the chair, and sat comfortably To the side of the soft couch.

Xu Zixu looked at him indifferently, calmed down, and smiled lightly: "Your Highness is really polite."

Chu Yi looked around, suddenly frowned slightly, and shouted in a deep voice, "Come on!"

There was an immediate response from outside the door, and two maids came in.

Chu Yi squinted at the two maids who bowed their heads and waited for orders, and said coldly: "There is no trace of anger in the room, is this how this hall ordered you to serve the prince!"

Frightened, the two maids knelt down and confessed in trembling voices.

"What are you doing here! Wait for the hall to get it in person!"

"I don't dare! I'll go get ready now." The frightened maid hastily bowed her head and kowtowed, got up tremblingly, and hurriedly retreated.

Xu Zixu watched indifferently from the beginning to the end.

"The prince has just recovered, and Tianpei is different from Chaoyang. The night is cold and the dew is heavy. It is important to pay more attention to keeping warm. Especially at the moment, the prince has no internal energy to defend himself, no different from ordinary people. If he is caught with wind and cold or something, the hall will be destroyed. The crime is serious." Chu Yi expressed his concern, got up and went to the window, closed the window with his hand, and looked back at the people beside him.But it just doesn't unlock the opponent's internal force.

Xu Zixu still had a displeased look on his face.

Chu Yi smiled again, and even reached out to grab the other's hand hanging by his side, with a trace of pity in his eyes: "Look, it's so cold..."

Xu Zixu was startled, he was always on guard, but after losing his internal strength, how could he defend himself, but in the blink of an eye, his hands fell into the warm place.

And the faint inappropriateness in front of him made him feel an indescribable weirdness.

I remember that this kind of behavior was done to my princess, but now another man used it on me...

What's more, this is the man who once had that kind of... that dirty desire for him twice!

Thinking of this, Xu Zixu's face couldn't help but began to change slightly. How could he be willing to have the slightest contact with him again? He patiently controlled his emotions at the moment, pulled out his hand calmly and resolutely, and walked back to the table calmly , stay away from that man.

"His Royal Highness's winter night visit is not just to express 'concern'!"

Chu Yi really couldn't feel at ease if he didn't humiliate him.

Xu Zixu became a little disgusted with his perception again.

Here Chu Yi watched him go away indifferently, smiled slightly, put down his empty hands, and walked back to the table.

The two sat facing the table, silent for a moment.

Xu Zixu was thinking about how to formulate the words and the motive of this person's appearance; Chu Yi was observing the other person's expression, secretly playing with it.

In the silence, five small warm pots were brought over in a short while, and placed in the four corners and the middle of the room respectively. Another maid put a delicate silver stove on the low table beside it. The elegant and warm smell, Musk again.The tea was re-infused and placed on the table. After finishing everything, the servants retreated respectfully and fearfully.

"This is a special tea for your court. Your lord might as well taste it to see if it tastes the same." Chu Yi poured a cup and handed it to Xu Zixu, "To warm up too."

After speaking, he picked up another cup and took a sip, frowning slightly: "It's astringent and unpleasant, I really don't know that your royal family wants to drink it."

Xu Zixu stared at him for a while, stretched out his hand to pick up the tea cup, turned it slightly, looked at the light of the water, put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it carefully, opened his mouth to sip, then put down the cup, and said lightly: " The theory of tea ceremony is broad and profound, and the essence lies in twelve words: tea is the essence, tea fragrance is air, and tea is god. Tasting tea is about the heart and harmony of the tea taster. But to brew a pot of high-quality For good tea, there are many things to pay attention to, which can be summarized as: real water, tea leaves, pots, temperature, time, steps, number of people, scenes, etc.”

"Oh?" Chu Yi listened with interest.

"The so-called real water is the natural jade spring water from the snow mountain. Different tea leaves need to be brewed in different sand pots. The temperature of the hot water should not be too hot or too cold, depending on the type of tea and the degree of tenderness. The brewing time depends on the type of tea There are also slight differences, which can be judged by the shape of the tea leaves unfolded in the water, and how many people can drink each pot of tea is also particular. The tea drinking environment is different, and the steps and utensils for brewing tea are also slightly different. And your highness This pot of tea did not achieve the above at all, it is astringent and not pleasant. The brewing method of ordinary tea is simple and convenient, but the better the tea, the more particular it is.

"With so much attention, it's no wonder the tea is so bad." Chu Yi said clearly.

Xu Zixu looked at the tea in the cup in front of him, and fell silent. His expression seemed a little erratic and lonely under the candlelight. The drooping eyelashes made those clear and resolute eyes hide in the shadows, and there was an indescribable sense of heaviness. It continued to spread outward, and gradually it seemed that even the thin and slender body was wrapped in this seemingly invisible heaviness.

"I heard what the lord said, drinking a pot of tea requires so many exquisite processes. The water alone has a lot of background. I'm afraid there are no snow-capped mountains in Chaoyang! In this way, I have to collect and ship it in other countries. If it is in midsummer, It is even more difficult to preserve it. Just to have a sip of tea, but to go to war so much, your country is indeed strong!" Chu Yi admired.

Xu Zixu was silent, pursing his lips tightly.He stretched out his hand and caressed the gradually cooling cup body unconsciously, feeling vaguely worried.

What Chu Yi said was obviously full of sarcasm, why didn't he know it, but he couldn't refute it!The facts are right in front of you!

The arrogance, extravagance and licentiousness of the Chaoyang royal family's dignitaries is growing day by day, and he is also deeply worried.

However, the sad thing is that the people of the country don't check out the inappropriateness at all. The nobles are addicted to sensuality, drinking and dancing, the common people are indifferent, and the royal officials are obsessed with fighting for power...

This shortcoming was pointed out so sharply and sarcastically by an enemy prince because of tea, how could he not hate it!

Hate yourself for being powerless!

"What do you think the prince thinks about the relationship between the country, the royal family, and the people?" Chu Yi carefully observed his sudden silence, and suddenly opened his mouth to break the silence again.

Xu Zixu recovered from his own thoughts when he heard the words, raised his eyes to look at the other party for a while, because he couldn't figure out the meaning of the other party, he just said indifferently: "It's just complementary and dialectical."

Chu Yi stared at him, his eyes gradually deepened, and asked again: "So, is this world the royal family's world, or the common people's world? Or is it a shared world?" His tone was calm and far away, but faintly majestic. It exudes a strong and dangerous atmosphere.
