It's hard to be the king of rebirth

Zhou Xu rode his Yuhuacong that night, together with the four guards he brought and the two guards appointed by the emperor, a group of seven came to the dungeon where the prisoners were held.

Master Wei, the chief guard, received the emperor's order, and waited outside the dungeon early in the morning. When he saw Zhou Xu dismounting, he respectfully bowed down and greeted Zhou Xu.

Zhou Xu understood that Manager Wei was not easy. At this time, when he was holding his wife at home to drink tea and admire the moon, he was called to welcome him by an edict from the emperor, and Zhou Xu gave him 100 taels of silver notes.Director Wei was overjoyed to see Zhou Xu's extravagant spending: "The dungeon is full of smog, I'm afraid the prince can't bear it."

Zhou Xu waved his hands and said, "I'll just come and take a look at those daring rebels, and then I'll leave."

"Then I will thank you, my lord." Director Wei walked ahead to lead the way.

This dungeon has not seen the sun all year round, and it was built underground, filled with a damp and turbid dead air.A few small lamps were dimly lit, making it look more and more dim and depressing.Zhou Xu's heart was pounding all the way, and Amitabha hoped that it was just a false alarm that they caught the wrong person.

Director Wei led them all the way to the innermost prison cell, and said, "These two rebels are very tight-lipped. They have already broken three whips, and they still don't admit that Tsing Yi is the rebel." Zhou Xu heard that it was the two rebels. Man, I raised my heart again.

Walking into the small cell, there were two people hanging from the wooden stakes, their clothes had been pulled off, and their skins were torn apart beyond description.Although he couldn't describe it, Zhou Xu was really relieved. The physiques of these two people were definitely not Li Sang and Miss Muyin.Among them was a dying guy with a gray beard, who looked like the old man with his rough mouth.

Zhou Xu thought to himself: No wonder they are so tight-lipped. Their feelings were taken advantage of by Lord Xie for making meritorious deeds. Hahaha, it wasn't just Brothers Li Sang and Miss Mu. This arrogant old man should be taught a lesson.

Zhou Xu walked around in front of the two of them twice, half-closed his eyes and said to Mr. Wei, "This lord looks at this old man with a white beard, and he is somewhat similar to the assassin who broke into my house at night last time."

Director Wei stared wide-eyed, picked up the whip and lashed at the old man, saying: "I want you to be hard-spoken, so hurry up and deal with the prince seriously."

The whip made the old man wake up from a coma, and he spat at Zhou Xu: "Bah, what a dog prince, I don't know." Fortunately, Zhou Xu hid quickly, and the dirty thing almost hit his face.

Seeing that the old man was rude, Mr. Wei whipped the old man hard again, and the old man passed out again.Seeing Zhou Xu's frightened appearance, he quickly and respectfully led him out of the dungeon.

Along the way, Zhou Xu also pretended to say that it was too dark that night, and he couldn't see what the assassin looked like, but he had a general impression in his mind, and he felt a little similar, and hoped that Mr. Wei would understand this clearly.Master Wei naturally nodded repeatedly to call the virtuous king benevolent, so he sent Zhou Xu out of the dungeon politely, and watched him ride away before returning to the dungeon to continue the interrogation.

Seven or eight days later, Zhou Xu was relieved when he heard that the two rebels locked in the dungeon had been executed.

But seeing that the spring is just in time, Yang Xu has also subsided, so she started to go out of the house to enjoy the flowers and see the beauties again.It's just that this jade flower horse can't be ridden anymore, it's too cool; I don't know if Xu Bo has repaired the human skin mask last time, or whether it can still be used normally.

"My lord, the old slave is not talented, so I can only repair it to this point."

Zhou Xu looked at herself in the mirror, she was still dressed as last time, with a half-old moon white straight-fronted gown, a thick coarse cloth belt around her waist, and a silver thread in her hair.It's just that there is an extra scar on the forehead of this mask.

Uncle Xu also advised Zhou Xu to wear a human leather mask, but Zhou Xu disagreed with everything, but did not say why.

"My lord, you were too hasty last time. This mask was torn. The old slave's craftsmanship is not as good as my father's. It's really not good to mend it. It's easy to see the flaw. The old slave thought, it's better to change that place into a scar, which looks like a scar. It’s really a lot.” Xu Bo looked at his work and said, “With this scar, the prince’s heroic spirit is even more apparent.”

"Very good, with a change of clothes, I can go on stage and sing Liangshan as a hero." Zhou Xu clicked his tongue a few times, thanked Uncle Xu, walked all the way to the small building in the backyard, and showed him his disguised appearance.

Xiaolou smiled so much that his eyes were bent, he shook his head and said, "It's not like singing Liangshan heroes, but more like a butcher in a vegetable market."

After laughing with Xiaolou, Zhou Xu quickly ran out from the side door of the palace. Before leaving, he still told Xiaolou: "Don't go to bed too early at night, let's have supper together when I come back, and I will bring you delicious food." of."

The flowers in the capital have all fallen, and the branches are full of new leaves.There are no people wearing thick jackets on the street, and the eyes are full of girls in light clothes and thin shirts, which is very pleasing to the eye.

Xiaolou likes to eat dim sum, which is soft and delicate but not too sweet. The capital city is no better than Jiangnan, and most of the dim sum is solid. Eating a piece can fill your stomach, and he prefers to use jujube paste and hawthorn stuffing. Xiaolou doesn't eat these two things.Zhou Xu then found out that the most famous iced mung bean cake in the capital is in Dongyue Tower, but he didn't expect that there were already a lot of people in the early morning.

There is a rule in Dongyue Tower that if you want to eat its dim sum, you must queue up. This is the reason why the emperor always comes.Zhou Xu was squeezed among a bunch of girls and aunts, and had been in line for half an hour, but it wasn't halfway there yet.After Qingming, the weather gradually became hotter, and Zhou Xu was dizzy from the sun.

Xiaolou also persuaded him, why bother to buy those, it is not much worse to let the cook of the palace do it.Zhou Xu said that he didn't understand, and there was a purpose in queuing up like this.

Indeed, the mind is there, and it may not be scheduled for two or three hours.

It was already afternoon when it was time for Zhou Xu, and he had bought several colors of mung bean cakes, pineapple cakes, and rose cheese. He was already so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back. Looking at the snacks in his hand, he felt very happy.

Where should I go for some good food?Zhou Xu turned around a few times, and then turned back to the restaurant in Yangzhou where he met Li Sang last time.Zhou Xu, as long as he approves of things, whether it's food or anything else, he won't get bored.Moreover, the dishes in this restaurant are really authentic, and Xiao Er is also very popular.

Just as he was about to step into the restaurant with one foot, a hand was placed on his shoulder, full of strength.Zhou Xu turned to the left and squatted slightly with his right leg, but that hand followed him without any sign of letting go.

Zhou Xu suddenly jumped back, clasped his fists and laughed, "Brother Li Sang, don't come here without any problems."

Li Sang stood facing the sun, wearing a white robe, wearing a long sword on his waist, and smiled at Zhou Xu, but suddenly frowned, staring at Zhou Xu's forehead: "Brother Zhou, your forehead... "

Zhou Xu took Li Sang's hand and said, "This is not a place to talk." Then the two escaped into the crowd and hid in a small alley together.

"Brother Li Sang, why do you dare to come to this restaurant? The previous incident was a big one, and the court is investigating closely."

"I just happened to pass by today, and I didn't expect to meet you. Don't worry, those imperial guards can't do anything to me. I heard that the imperial court has already found a scapegoat for me and my junior sister."

Zhou Xu thought to himself: Of course you are not afraid. The two scapegoats are not because I am behind your back, but he said: "It is better to be careful, many people will recognize your face that day."

"Original brother came out because he made me change my face, but—" Li Sang paused, but he didn't say the reason, then turned to Zhou Xu and asked, "Speaking of which, Brother Zhou, what's the matter with your forehead? "

Zhou Xu rolled his eyes and said, "There is a Hedong lion at home. I didn't go back that night, and the house was flying around. It made me kneel on the washboard all night. Don't mention it." Never let me kneel on the washboard.

Li Sang was stunned, and said: "Brother Zhou already has a family?"

"Hahaha yes, no, why don't you come out and buy him some snacks to cheer him up?" As he spoke, he shook the snacks in his hand.

Li Sang smiled at first, and after a long while, he said: "Brother Zhou and Ling Zheng are so affectionate and envious of others. So, is Brother Zhou planning to settle down in the capital?"

"...Because of my brother's business relationship, I temporarily live in the capital." If I ask any more questions, I won't be able to make it up anymore, Zhou Xu groans inwardly.So he changed the subject and said, "Why don't you see Miss Muyin?"

"Yin'er went to work with the eldest brother. I... have been a little bit unhappy recently. It's rare that I have nothing to do today, so I came out for a walk."

Zhou Xu nodded, and at this moment, his stomach growled. Li Sang and him stopped at the same time, looked at each other silently for a moment, and then laughed.

"Brother Zhou was generous and helpful last time, how about letting me treat Brother Zhou to a meal today? What does Brother Zhou like to eat?"

Zhou Xu nodded and said, "I must eat Brother Li Sang's food, but this time I don't dare to drink with you." After speaking, I realized that I was talking too quickly, and I didn't open any pots.

Sure enough, Li Sang's face turned from white to blue, from green to red, and he coughed a few times dryly.

Zhou Xu turned to Li Sang, and said seriously: "I lost my temper after drinking that day, and I made Li Sang brother... embarrassing, and I am also very upset. I am sorry brother, I hope I don't have any grudges because of this..."

Li Sang interrupted him: "I'm not a big girl, this... It's too shameful for a man to stick to such things, Brother Zhou, worry too much." But his face became more and more red.

At this time, Zhou Xu's stomach growled a few more times, and said, "Since Brother Li Sang treats you, then I'm not going to be polite?"

Li Sang smiled, the sun was just right, and the warmth of spring dazzled people's eyes.

Turning around an alley, the two of them smelled a roasting aroma, which made people move their index fingers.

The aroma overflows from this rather simple and remote barbecue shop. The owner is over forty years old, with a burly figure, a round face and big ears, and does not attract customers. The meat skewers are placed on the grill, and the oil on the meat falls into the fire in large drops, mixed with the fragrance of pine wood, although it has not been tasted, it is already mouth-watering.

The two said in unison: "Just here."

"Boss, is there a menu here?" Zhou Xu sat down with Li Sang and asked.Although the Mazza in this store is worn out, it is very clean.

The boss cut a few times at the leg of lamb, sprinkled a layer of cumin and said: "No, you can eat whatever I roast."

Zhou Xu smiled: "Happy! We've taken care of everything." Turning around, he smiled at Li Sang and asked, "This boss is also a man of temperament. Do you feel distressed after ordering these?"

Li Sang smiled, wiped Zhou Xu's cup with a towel, and made tea.After walking for a long time, Zhou Xu was also very thirsty, so he took a big sip of tea. Although it was not a good tea, it was still refreshing.

Not long after, the roast leg of lamb and meat skewers were served on the table. They were not greasy or smelly. They were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The meat was delicious and had an excellent flavor.In the past few months in the palace, the dishes were all served in small plates, with more than enough detail and not enough atmosphere. Zhou Xu hadn't eaten so much in a long time, and it was very hearty.

The boss brought a plate of edamame and a pot of turbid rice wine for the two of them. Zhou Xu did what he said, and Li Sang drank it alone.

In the second half of the meal, both of them had their best time. Li Sang touched his waist, his face turned pale, and then touched his arms, his face turned blue, and he touched his whole body. Said to Zhou Xu: "Brother Zhou, I... seem to..."

Seeing his anxious look, Zhou Xu couldn't help laughing and said, "Could it be that the money bag was taken away again?"

Li Sang nodded, shook his head again, and finally nodded.
