Overlord's Road to Ancient Emperors

Li Xu had a sleepless night, sat on a chair all night, the anger in his heart could not be subsided for a long time, he even had the urge to rush back to the capital to settle accounts with the emperor right now.

Even if he had no relationship with the three hundred guards, he would not be able to calm down when he heard the news. The fact that the emperor could do such a thing shows that he is a tyrant at all. It is better for such a monarch to die as soon as possible, so as not to harm the world.

But Li Xu is not an impulsive person. If he dared to turn his head back, Lin Zhao's knife would probably cut off his head immediately. Such a death is not worth it.

Early the next morning, the little princess came to Li Xu's room for breakfast as usual, and when she saw an ugly man standing beside Li Xu, she screamed in fright.

Li Xu hurriedly hugged her and coaxed her: "Shu'er, don't be afraid, this is the new guard my father bought, but he is ugly, and he is a very nice person."

He Zun hurriedly turned his back and closed his eyes, which contained panic and sadness.

The little princess covered her eyes and peeked at the man through her fingers. It was indeed scary at first glance without mental preparation, but with the mental preparation, it was not so scary.

After a few more glances, she let out a "huh", put down her little hand, then broke free from Li Xu's embrace and ran behind He Zun.

She tore off the hem of He Zun's clothes, and ordered: "You, turn around!"

He Zun said in a hoarse voice: "The humble face is ugly, it will scare the little princess."

"I know you." The childish voice of the little princess reached everyone's ears, He Zun turned around subconsciously, and met the little princess's clear eyes in surprise.

The little princess raised her head, looked at He Zun's face with a serious expression, then took his hand and touched it, He Zun's heartbeat was extremely fast, and said in a hoarse voice: "Little princess, don't..."

The little princess suddenly let go of his hands and hugged his legs, and asked affectionately: "Uncle He, it's you, Shu'er almost didn't recognize you just now, what's wrong with your face? Are you sick?"

Everyone was shocked, Li Xu winked and asked Liu Shu to close the door, then squatted beside the little princess and asked, "Shu'er, how did you recognize him as Uncle He?"

The little princess said innocently: "He is Uncle He. He has the same height, same eyes, same ears, and same hands. He is much thinner than before. Uncle He must have suffered a lot."

Everyone had mixed feelings, He Zun covered his face and bent over to look at her: "Little princess, you can't call Uncle He in front of people from now on, do you understand?"

"Why?" the little princess asked puzzled.

"Because...Uncle He changed his name."

The little princess raised her head and asked He Zun, "Why did Uncle He change his name? Didn't the parents choose the name?"

He Zun didn't know how to answer, so he threw the blame on Li Xu, "My lord said that the name He Zun doesn't sound good, so he gave me a better name."

The little princess looked at Li Xu in a panic, and begged: "Father, Shu'er's name is very nice, please don't change Shu'er's name?"

Li Xu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he really didn't have a hobby of naming things indiscriminately, but he still threatened her and said, "No way! My father thought of a better name for you,"

The little princess opened her big moist eyes, looked at him with some distrust, and asked cautiously, "What's a better name?"

Li Xu thought about it carefully, then suddenly clapped his hands and said, "Let's call it Lotus! Lotus is beautiful and elegant, and it sounds good!"

The little princess cried out with a "wow", "Father Wang is bad... I don't want to be called Lotus, woo..."

Li Xu didn't expect to scare the little princess into tears, so he panicked, "Don't cry, don't cry, I'm talking nonsense, I didn't mean to change your name."

The little princess didn't believe it, so she pointed to He Zun and said, "Then you changed Uncle He's name, and he definitely doesn't like your changed name either."

Li Xu asked He Zun for help, "Is that so?"

He Zun put down his sleeves and said honestly, "Your Highness, I want to take my mother's surname from Mu. From now on, I will be called Mu Lan."

"Mulan..." The corners of Li Xu's mouth twitched, and he muttered softly, "You might as well call yourself Hua Mulan."

He Zun has good ears and heard what he said, but he didn't understand why he gave his surname Hua, but Li Xu was just joking, it doesn't matter what name He Zun changed to, as long as he likes it.

He Zun used to be the prince's personal guard, and was familiar with most of the Habayashi Army. Li Xu was worried that he would be recognized, so he simply let him stay in the house in the name of recuperating, and let Liu Shu provide three meals a day. He sends it in.

With the matter of He Zun, Li Xu didn't want to stay in Cangzhou anymore. The closer he was to the capital, the greater the risk of He Zun being recognized, so he stopped making life jackets and asked people to buy gourds in the city. People nowadays use gourds as life-saving equipment, and he plans to learn from them.

Gourds are not difficult to buy. Many families will keep a few of them for loading things, and some fishermen and boatmen by the river will use them to cross the river. Lin Zhao originally thought that Li Xu would come up with a more ingenious method. Still a little disappointed.

Li Xu picked out the gourds he bought, tried them all in the water, and found that when swimming in the water, as long as one arm holds the gourd, he can use the other arm and two legs to swim sideways. If one is not enough, tie two gourds together and hang them directly on the waist to increase the buoyancy of the body, which is also very convenient.

This thing is easy to use, people who can't swim can splash in the water for a while with it, Li Xu didn't ask every Habayashi soldier to learn to swim, after all, he wasn't his soldier, but the people around him were beaten one by one. He grabbed it and went to practice swimming.

He also made a sheepskin ring for the little princess, which can be worn around the waist as a swimming ring. With this, Li Xu immediately took the little princess to the nearby river to practice swimming.

Li Xu didn't remember how he learned to swim when he was a child, he felt like he would be able to do it after a few thumps, but the little princess was afraid of the water, so she didn't make any progress after practicing for two days.

Everyone advised him to forget it, if he was really in danger, would hundreds of Habayashi soldiers not be able to protect a little girl?But for the first time, Li Xu made up his mind to throw the little girl into the water again and again, and said sharply: "If it's other things, forget it, but you must learn to swim in water. It's related to your safety. Practice again! One day!" If you don’t practice well, you won’t set off for a day!”

It was the first time for the little princess to see her father get angry, so she choked up a few sips of water in fear, she wanted to cry but didn't dare to cry, and slowly rubbed her mouth in the water with her puckered mouth.

Seeing Li Xu swimming in the water like a fish, she was very envious, but as soon as she got into the water, she remembered the dead bodies she had seen in the lake. A month of nightmares.

Holding the little princess's little hand with one hand, she looked up and saw Li Xu standing in front of her, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, the more you are afraid of water, the more difficult it is to learn. Come on, follow Father Wang slowly." Go slowly."

The little princess fell into the warm ocean, she thought: the father was good to her before, but he rarely hugged her, he would not tell her stories, and he would not patiently teach her, the father is good now , thinking that such a good father would be unhappy, no matter how great the fear was, it was overcome.
