hermit meets king

"Good. Very good." The emperor has said countless good things today, and ordered someone to pour wine, "My dragon's heart is very happy."

As he spoke, he raised his wine glass towards them and drank it all in one gulp.He also ordered people to bring the treasured wine, "full the envoy's door."

Si Kou Yi also raised his wine glass, and drank the wine in the glass again.

Si Kou Kuoku next to him frowned. In the past, he would never be allowed to drink without restraint. Si Kou Yi has always been in poor health and could not drink. Now that he is in this state, he must feel better when he goes back, and he has to take care of himself.

Si Kou Yi naturally felt the warning eyes from the people around him, but he ignored it, and continued, "My lord, Si Kou Yi has a merciless request..."

"But it doesn't matter."

"The three of us, the three of us, miss our fourth brother very much." Si Kou Yi showed a look of yearning in his eyes, "Please invite Si Kou Lin to have a drink with us at the same table today."

The emperor was stunned, but he also felt that it was justifiable.Because since the proton came to Haoyuan Kingdom, he was not allowed to have any news communication with Si Kou Kingdom.

So now, it is understandable that Si Kou Yi, who is also a brother and sister, would make such a request.

And even if it is reminiscing about the past, it is under the watchful eyes of everyone, and there are countless maids and eunuchs serving beside them, and there are their own people everywhere, and eyes and ears everywhere.

Naturally, no action is possible.It can only be close and close, and talk about lovesickness.

"Brothers love each other deeply, come here and add a chair." The emperor ordered someone to place a chair next to Si Kou Yi.

It was only then that Si Koulin reacted slowly, how could there be deep brotherly love, he was getting more and more confused.

In the past three years, they have never looked at themselves once, and they didn't even bother to pay attention to themselves.

To them, I was like a transparent person who couldn't even pose a threat, and I didn't even say a few words in three years.

Seeing that he was going to sit with them, Si Koulin secretly grabbed the corner of Xu Sheng's clothes under the table.

Xu Sheng took the boy's hand in his and shook it hard.Then he let go, but there was no expression on his face, and he still had an upright and serious look.

Seeing that Xu Sheng didn't express anything, Si Kou Lin let go of his hands, got up slowly, walked to Si Kou Yi's side, and sat down.

"Xiao Lin, come and sit down." Si Kou Yi made room for him.

Si Kou Kuoku next to him stretched out his hand to bring Si Kou Yi in, not to lean so close to other people, but Si Kou Yi avoided him without a trace.

Si Kou Kuoku's hand fluttered in the air, and he didn't pay much attention to it, but looked at the boy who lowered his head and was stiff all over, expressing his displeasure, and wished to let him stay ten feet away.

It was Si Kouyi who picked up a piece of pastry for the young man, "I remember you like hawthorn cake the most, and you used to bring it with you all the time."

However, Si Kou Lin still lowered his head, looking numb.

Si Kouyi smiled, and said in his heart, it is really a rotten wood that cannot be carved, and now it is still this virtue, what use can it be?If it weren't for the spiritual quality that ordinary people can't reach.

After that, no matter how dull Si Kou Lin was, Si Kou Yi always looked like a caring elder brother and said many caring words.Of course, during the period, Si Kou Lin sneaked a few glimpses at Xu Sheng, but Si Kou Yi caught him all the time.

Si Kouyi thought to himself, it seems that this little guy has someone he trusts, but he doesn't know how much this unfavored third prince is true to him.

Regardless of whether it is true or not, as long as you stay by your side, there is something useful.

After a grand banquet ended, the prince's eyes still did not leave Si Kou Jinglian, because Si Kou Guo had promised that next year the two Jins would be good friends.

When he went back, Si Koulin was abnormal, keeping his head down, looking nervous and absent-minded.

Xu Sheng thought it was because he was in a bad mood and touched something after meeting his royal brother and sister, that's why he acted like this.

After all, when Si Koulin went to sit there, although he pretended not to care about anything, he had been paying attention to the situation there.

It is impossible to keep a ticking time bomb by your side at all times.Even though Si Kou Lin wasn't threatening, the weak but resourceful Si Kou Yi was far from being such a simple character.After all, during the four years in the frontier, I also know a lot about Si Kou country.

Of course, he also deliberately sent someone to understand Si Koulin's situation.Naturally, this matter is a bit strange today.

But the whole process was under the nose, but nothing special was found.Or maybe it was really just tentative small talk?

In the sedan chair, Xu Sheng reached out and touched the young man's head, who made him keep his head down and look very soft.

Si Koulin, however, was stiff all over, as if he had a guilty conscience.Originally, during this period of time, when Xu Sheng rubbed his head, the boy would obediently lower his head, and his whole body was like a cat being patted, appearing trusting and comfortable.

But now, Si Koulin felt very guilty.

Should I tell him.The man who was reaching out to try to comfort himself was the only one who was so kind to him.I would never listen to Si Kouyi's words, even though I didn't know what it was useful for.

Si Kou Yi lowered his head while thinking, while holding tightly the small wooden box the size of a thumb hidden in the skirt of his clothes.

Through the clothes, I can still feel it, like a hot potato, wishing it had never appeared before.

The two of them were speechless until they arrived at Tai'an Prince's Mansion, got out of the carriage, and Si Kou Lin returned to the room distraught.

Xu Sheng naturally saw it and knew that he was abnormal.But he was waiting, something must have happened, and he didn't want to say it, so he needed to check it out.

Surprisingly, it has not been half an hour since I came back.Si Koulin knocked on Xu Sheng's door.

The young man stood at the door, looking distressed, with hesitation in his expression.

"What's the matter?" Xu Cheng let Si Koulin into the room, Si Koulin walked up to Xu Cheng, made a lot of determination, gritted his teeth, and finally his voice was as soft as a mosquito, "My lord, I have something to tell you."

"What's the matter?" Xu Sheng put down the copywriting in his hand. "I said, "Si Koulin finally looked up at Xu Sheng, and asked cautiously in his eyes..." I said, don't doubt me, okay?

"Xu Cheng was amused by Si Koulin's cautious appearance, and felt a little relieved in his heart. After all, there was someone who cared so much about him, so he said softly, "How could I doubt you? "

"Yes." Si Koulin clenched the object in his hand, it reminded him of his identity all the time, that was a huge gap, even if he told him, he would doubt himself. "Because I am the proton of Si Kou Kingdom."

Xu Sheng stood up, stretched out his hand to shake Si Kou Lin's shoulder, looked at him and said, "Remember it's the fourth prince, not the proton."

Si Koulin was straightened by Xu Cheng's shoulders, looked at Xu Cheng's golden eyes face to face, and murmured, "It's the same..."

"Proton, you can only be used and disposed of by others forever, fourth prince, you have to fight for everything you want by yourself." Xu Sheng looked at Si Koulin and said firmly, "And you have always been the little prince in my heart. "

Si Koulin was confused by Xu Cheng's sudden words, so he stretched out his hand, opened it upwards, and showed Xu Cheng the small box tightly held in his hand, "I'll give you this."

Xu Sheng looked down and saw a thumb-sized wooden box in the boy's palm, very small but very delicate. "what is this?"

Si Kou Lin lowered his head, "Si Kou Yi gave it to me. He asked me to wear it on my body. Three months later, he secretly put it in your ear." Hesitantly said, "There is a small bug inside."

He raised his head, trying to make Xu Sheng believe in himself, "But I haven't opened it..."

Xu Cheng was also surprised by this kind of thing, he knew that there are often Gu worms in the borderlands, but this is a bit too evil.Reaching out to pick up the box, "I believe in you."

I tried to open the box the size of my thumb, but found that there was no place to open it.

If you look carefully and carefully, you will find that it is like a completely sealed, seamless fruit core that grows naturally.

Because it is a square with sharp edges and corners, it can be mistaken for a small box of exquisite craftsmanship.

What could be inside this strange-looking fruit pit?Xu Sheng put away the things and put them away.

Turning around and seeing the young man standing silently, he smiled.Such a miraculous thing was actually handed over to a little fool.So Si Kou Guoshi had calculated thousands of times, and he didn't count that the young man turned around and handed the things to himself.

Xu Sheng looked through the ancient books and found no record of such a thing, and even read the national annals of the Sikou Kingdom, but still didn't have the slightest clue.

Until I received a message from the carpenter Weng.

It turned out that this wooden box-like thing with a thumb was really, as I guessed, a kind of fruit core.

And the background is very big.

This is the sacred tree, the Holy Light Tree, in the secret place of Sikou Kingdom. It blooms once in 50 years and bears fruit once in 50 years.

Then take out the fruit core, and the Gu master selects a fruit core suitable for ginger silkworm parasitism.

After multiple processes, eggs of ginger silkworms are injected and allowed to hatch for five years.In the fifth year, at the end of spring and summer, the ginger silkworms in the fruit core will hatch back.

Xu Sheng was playing with the small fruit core the size of a thumb in his hand.So there's a larva in there?

This ginger worm is difficult to control, but it has a strange ability that the world flocks to.

This worm is similar to human nature and begins to be afraid of strangers.It is not willing to drill into the seven orifices of strangers and build holes in people's brains.

But if the worm stays with a person for a long time, gets familiar with the person's aura, or even starts to get close to the person, it will eagerly want to enter the person's mind.

While the person is asleep, crawl in through any one of the seven orifices, penetrate the blood from the skin and live in the brain, spin silk and tendons, and control the mind.

People have to marvel at this miraculous thing, but fortunately it is rare.Otherwise, the world would be in chaos.

Another important point is that it is very difficult for this insect to feel close to people.

But this Si Kou Yi let Si Kou Lin stay with him for three months and put it in Xu Sheng's mind.
