It's hard to be the king of rebirth

Yue Lang was indeed the one who was trained by the emperor. Seeing that Zhou Xu didn't come back all night, when he saw him, he didn't panic or make indirect remarks, and said decently, "My lord didn't rest well last night, but he wants to rest for a while?"

Seeing his calmness, Zhou Xu was a little surprised, smiled and said, "It's okay, let's see how the emperor arranges it today." He thought to himself, if Bo Ru, he would have been crying and crying if I didn't return all night.

Hearing this, Yue Lang retreated obediently, and ordered the kitchen to stew lotus seed and lily soup, which is the best way to clear the heart and relieve fatigue.

After a while, the emperor really came, with a gentle spring breeze on his face, there was no sign of it, and there was a food box twisted in his hand, looking very happy.

"I saw lychees sold outside the inn this morning. They were very fresh, so I bought some. I wanted to wait for you to come back and try them with you." As he spoke, he opened the food box. It was really a big box, red and bright. Litchi still stained with a thin mist.

Zhou Xu made up some random reasons, but at this moment he couldn't tell them at all.The emperor chatted with him a few words, peeled off the crystal clear lychees, they were really sweet and juicy.

"Brother, do you want to continue on the road today?" Zhou Xu asked tentatively.

The emperor didn't answer his question directly, but said with squinted eyes, "Take off your shirt."

"...Ah?" Zhou Xu was astonished, which song was this sung?

The emperor smiled: "Let me see the wound on your back."

Zhou Xu was surprised. It turned out that the emperor knew everything, so he had to take off his shirt and show his back.

The emperor saw that there was a long piece of gauze on his back, and there were many thin wounds around him. He frowned, pondered for a while, and sighed slightly: "Is the wound so long and deep?"

Zhou Xu said stiffly: "It's not deep, I'm afraid it won't take two days to recover."

The emperor said in a deep voice: "Nonsense, at least a month."

One month... that's confinement.

Zhou Xu thought that the emperor had seen enough, so he put on his coat eagerly. The emperor half-closed his eyes to watch his every move, and teased, "What? Are we Hengzhi ashamed when we grow up? You won't let your brother see your back?"

Zhou Xu shuddered, and said with a smile, "Where...where, it's really cold to be shirtless."

The emperor sneered from the side, and said: "Hengzhi should stop going out at night. I heard that last night Jialelou was attacked by thieves, and it was a wine thief."

Zhou Xu laughed a few times and said, "It seems to be true."

The emperor's mouth twitched, his eyebrows raised, and he looked at Zhou Xu with interest: "It's a small matter of getting drunk, but it's a serious matter if you lose your lottery and get injured, and almost killed yourself."

Zhou Xu's lips trembled slightly, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, he pondered for a while, and said, "I dare not—"

"I will not forgive those who hurt you lightly. As for that fortune teller—" the emperor interrupted him, and wiped the sweat from his brow: "How dare I keep him for such a bold and reckless act."

Zhou Xu looked at the emperor, his eyes were facing each other, the emperor's eyes were like a pool of unfathomable water, with a cold light.After a while, the emperor smiled, got up and said: "Hengzhi, you are injured and haven't slept all night, just take a rest."

"Brother, what if I want to protect that person comprehensively?" Zhou Xulin said, looking coldly at the emperor's back.

The emperor turned his head, pondered for a while, and slowly said: "If you insist on doing this, I may not be able to protect you." Then he turned and walked out the door.

Since Zhou Xu was injured, the emperor's interest seemed to have dropped by half.Zhou Xu was given two days to recuperate in Guanzhou. As the weather got hotter, the group hired a big boat and took the trip back to Beijing by luck.

The towns that the canal passes along the road are different from those on the land road, and this road has a different style.The boat sailed for a few days, but saw Artemisia argyi all over the ground on both sides of the strait, plums, yellow apricots and fat. It turned out that it had reached the boundary of Guzhou.Guzhou has four distinct seasons, abundant rainfall, criss-crossed cities, inland rivers and ports, and dense lakes. It is rich in fish, shrimp and crabs, and has been rich since ancient times.

Of course, the most famous specialty of Guzhou is the watery beauty. It is said that the ancestors of the current concubine Ming and the former princess are from Guzhou.

But if he was going back to Beijing, he didn't have to go through here. It seems that the emperor came here by detour.

The group parked the boat at the pier, and rented two small boats to row into the river in the city. The teahouses on both sides of the river were mainly gray and white, with wide eaves, and the overall light and elegant.

The boat rowed straight to the busiest market in the city before stopping.

People have been floating on the boat for a long time, and when they step on the shore, they feel uncomfortable. The ground feels real, but people float instead.Zhou Xu walked several hundred meters straight before gradually getting used to the down-to-earth feeling.

The emperor and all the people praised the elegance of Guzhou city and the simplicity of the folk customs, and walked to a restaurant with an elegant style while speaking, and everyone chose a seat by the window to sit down.

Looking out of the window, the scenery is excellent, and you can have a panoramic view of the prosperous landscape of the city.

As soon as they were seated, the clerk at the shop knew that they were not ordinary people by seeing how they were dressed, and immediately made tea attentively.This tea-colored jasper is clear, falling into the white porcelain cup, one glance will make people feel refreshed.

Everyone ordered a few dishes, the emperor asked Xiao Er if there was any scorpion mackerel.

It's just that Zhou Xu was a little surprised when he saw the emperor take the initiative to order food for the first time.

He has heard of the fish, but because it is highly poisonous, there have been several cases of death due to food poisoning of the fish. Many restaurants in the area still sell it secretly, and many diners dared to risk being poisoned to death and violating court regulations in order to have a taste of this legendary delicacy.

When everyone heard the emperor's words, they were all dumbfounded and dared not speak.

Xiao Er saw that the emperor knew how to do it, and immediately smiled and said in a low voice, "Guest officer, you are so lucky today, there is only one last item left."

The emperor nodded, and Xiaoer asked again: "Guest officer, do you want to make white sauce, salt and pepper, braise in soy sauce, and sashimi?"

The emperor hesitated for a while, and said: "Fish skin with salt and pepper, the fish meat is half white sauce and half sashimi."

Xiao Er understood, and immediately ran to the back kitchen, opened the curtain and went in to give orders.

Everyone saw that the emperor was in high spirits, so they didn't dare to speak too much, but they were worried in their hearts. Eating this squid is an extremely risky thing. There is a saying that eating kills people, just in case something goes wrong...

Seeing the pale faces of the people, the emperor did not dare to speak, and said with a smile: "Although this mackerel has the reputation of eating and killing people, the poison is all in the liver. As long as it is cooked properly, it will be a plump and delicious fish. Unless—" the emperor used The porcelain cover brushed off the floating leaves on the tea, and continued: "Unless someone intentionally wants to put me to death."

Everyone's faces turned greener, the emperor glanced at it and said with a smile: "Just kidding, how can such a thing happen, this restaurant is the most famous for its mackerel, because every master who cooks the mackerel before serving it to the guests , you have to eat a piece yourself, and if he is safe and sound after a quarter of an hour, you can serve it to the guests."

After hearing this, everyone was still embarrassed. They didn't know what happened to the emperor recently. His attitude was very different from the spring breeze when he came. He always spoke with thorns, and his smile seemed to hide a knife, which made people's hearts always hold.

Seeing that the emperor was very familiar with Guzhou, Zhou Xu asked, "Brother has been here before?"

The emperor nodded and said: "I came here two years ago, and I stayed for half a month. It is also this season."

Zhou Xu saw that everyone was stunned, only Yuelang looked normal, guessing that it was Guzhou where he and the emperor came two years ago.

After about half an hour, the well-prepared mackerel arrived on the table.Everyone stared blankly at the three plates of full-bodied mackerel, showing embarrassment.

On weekdays, as long as the food is served, the emperor will let the emperor set down the chopsticks first, and eat the first bite, but this mackerel is not an ordinary dish.

Everyone didn't dare to move, but the emperor didn't move, his eyes widened on the table, he was very cramped.

"Let me try this oyster for my brother first." Seeing the awkwardness of the crowd, Zhou Xu said with a smile, and stretched out his chopsticks to pick up a piece of oyster in white sauce. It is really plump and delicious, which is rare in the world. .

The emperor laughed without saying a word, drinking tea alone.

After a while, everyone saw that Zhou Xu's face was the same, and then they smiled, and tasted the legendary delicacy together, and they were all amazed after eating.

Satiated with food and wine, everyone wandered around the city of Guzhou. The streets were full of small stalls selling loquat bayberry, as well as various fruit wine and cakes. It was as lively and prosperous as Guanzhou during the Chaolian Festival. After a while, Xiao Fu Yuelang already carried a lot of miscellaneous things in his hands.

It was getting late, and everyone went back to the boat. The emperor wanted to stay for a day or two, so everyone nodded and praised Guzhou for its pleasant climate and geomantic omen. It was worth staying for a day or two.

Zhou Xu went back to the cabin to wash up, lay on the bed and stared at the bright moon outside the boat in a daze.

Thinking back to the first time in Miaomiao Building, I talked with Li Sangye until the third watch, and the moonlight melted like this. The anecdotes about swordsmanship and rivers and lakes that he said from his mouth made people's blood boil.He also mentioned Guzhou. At that time, he, Mu Yin and a few brothers passed by here on business, stayed overnight in an inn, and would not sleep in the middle of the night. He heard someone knocking on the door softly. With one heart, I am afraid that the court heard the wind and came to test, or something happened, who knows?

Li Sang was still smiling at the time, and deliberately put it off, guess how to find it?I raised my sword and went to the door, listening to it with my ears, but I heard a soft, waxy and sweet female voice asking: "My lord, it's so cold tonight, I will warm your bed for you." As she said this, a piece of paper was stuffed into the crack of the door. Li Sang opened it and saw that it was the portrait and name of the woman. Li Sang was so frightened that he burned the portrait with a candle.

One person talked and the other listened, and the two held their stomachs and laughed.

Li Sang said that at that time he was still an inexperienced child. Hearing this, it was as if his ears had been burned. From his ears to his neck, his head and face were so red that he had to go to the backyard to splash some water. Bucket of cold water before giving up.

Zhou Xu thought, yes, you, Li Sang, were an indifferent child at that time, but now you are a child in the world?It's not the same as not growing...

Thinking of Li Sang's blushing face, Zhou Xu thought it was funny, so he laughed unconsciously.Seeing the cold moonlight, under the moonlight is the Guzhou City he was talking about. I don't know where he is now, whether he has been injured again, and when will the two see each other again.

Just when Zhou Xu was lost in thought, he suddenly heard the sound of the cabin door thumping, he was startled, and thought to himself, why not?What do you want, that soft, sweet and crispy Miss Guzhou also came to me?
