Half blood

Luo Bogan lost the fight, lost his person, and was full of anger in his stomach.He angrily walked around the mountain behind Yujin Kingdom's palace, cursing and cursing all the time, wishing to tear Li Xuan and Li Xiuqi to pieces.

A follower who had been following Luo Bo cautiously said, "Your Highness... we, we seem to have lost our way..."

When Luo Bo heard this, he became angry again, and said, "What do you mean? Ah! Don't you think I can't even recognize the way now?"

The attendant shrank his neck and said, "No, no..."

Luo Bo snorted, turned around and walked forward, walked a few steps, stopped again, reached out and touched the arrow hole in a tree, and said, "Here, have we been here before?"

This time, the attendant learned his lesson, and he mumbled for a long time, "Uh, uh, uh..."

Luo Bo shook the head of a follower with his big hand, and said, "You said it!"

"Come here, come here..."

It was only then that Luo Bo realized the seriousness of the problem. His face sank, and he looked around, only to see that every tree in the forest looked the same, trapping him in the middle.

The attendant touched his beaten head, and said boldly: "Your Highness, tell me, do you think we met a ghost and hit the wall?"

"You, stop talking nonsense, go and light me up now!" Although Luo Bo was trying to be brave on the face, his legs felt weak, and he squatted on the ground all of a sudden. When he caught it, he stretched out his hand to touch it, and he touched half of the bone. The bone was from an unknown animal, about three inches thick and one foot long. Luo Bo screamed in fright, and threw the bone far away.

The prince of Qingzhou country disappeared in the palace of Yujin country, and everyone thought it was a conspiracy when the news spread. Li Zhengya felt that he was really wronged. She was so angry that she wanted to vomit blood.

He called Li Xuan over, reprimanded him, and finally said that if he couldn't find this person, all kinds of criminal laws would be easy to serve.

Li Xuan felt that he was even more wronged, and he kept complaining, but how could Li Zhengya care about him?He also thought that his son's brain was not very bright, so he asked the smarter Li Xiuqi to follow him, and together they took people to look for him in the woods.And he himself brought a team of people into the forest from the other side to find someone.

Li Xuan cursed in a low voice, looked back at Li Xiuqi, turned around again, and walked east on his own.

Li Xiuqi followed behind him, and said softly: "Your Highness, the Eldest Princess led people to the east, let's go south."

Li Xuan put on a dirty face when he heard this, turned around and walked obediently to the south, the back that Li Xiuqi looked up at was clearly saying: "Young master is still angry!"

Li Xiuqi looked at Li Xuan's back, sighed softly, and walked behind Li Xuan a few steps away.

The two went into the forest in the back mountain together.Li Xuan picked up a branch casually, swept the weeds beside him once in a while, and pretended to meow a few times from time to time: "Radish, radish!" Li Xiuqi quietly watched Li Xuan jump up and down like a naughty boy from behind. chuckled.

Hearing his chuckle, Li Xuan turned around and asked, "Where are the others? Why didn't you follow?"

"Your Highness walked too fast, they are still behind and did not catch up." Li Xiuqi's voice was a little unsteady, and he must be tired.

Li Xuan threw the branch in his hand, and said, "What about you? Can you still move after following all the way?"

Li Xiuqi nodded and said, "Not tired yet."

"Really?" Li Xuan turned around, and then walked forward, but this time he slowed down.

The two walked forward for a while, Li Xuan stopped suddenly, stretched out his hand to stop Li Xiuqi who was behind him, and said, "I've been here before."

Li Xiuqi stopped and looked around. The forest is a bit deep, surrounded by centuries-old trees, the dense branches and leaves cover each other, and only a few rays of moonlight fell. A piece of tree was scraped off from a slightly thicker trunk. skin, revealing the bluish wood.

Li Xuan looked around and said, "If I remember correctly, there should be an institution nearby."

"organ?"

"Yes, a few years ago, a beast came into the mountain. My father sent people to hunt it in the forest. The soldiers who came in dug a trap near here, captured the beast alive, and starved the beast in the trap for a long time. Xun, and then killed and peeled off the skin."

"The animal skin was given to my father later?" Li Xiuqi asked, he remembered that there was another patterned animal skin in his father's room, which was made into a cushion for a chair.

Li Xuan nodded, "The beast is very big, and it is covered with treasures. The animal skin, animal bones, and animal teeth were all rewarded to the high-ranking ministers."

Li Xuan squatted down, groped the ground for a while, and then said: "At that time, I had just turned 12 years old, and my father told me to follow along, to exercise my courage, but it scared me to death."

Just as he was talking, Li Xuan's complexion sank for some reason, he stood up suddenly, and shouted at Li Xiuqi: "Go back quickly, fast, fast, go back!"

Li Xiuqi was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to Li Xuan, the ground suddenly split open, and Li Xuan fell into the crack, Li Xiuqi held his arm tightly with one hand, but he was also taken down for a while, the two of them Fall into the trap together.

The bottom of the trap was already covered with weeds and moss, and it didn't hurt to fall on it. Li Xuan got up from the ground, and touched the rusty gears in the trap with his hand.He hurriedly shouted: "Xiu Qi, don't move now, there are still gears in the trap." Then he carefully crawled towards Li Xiuqi under the moonlight, and when he got to Li Xiuqi's side, Li Xuan asked in a low voice: "Are you injured? "

"No, where is Your Highness?"

"Not at all." Li Xuan felt relieved when he heard that Li Xiuqi's voice was the same as before. After a while, his eyes seemed to have adjusted to the darkness in the trap, and he stretched out his hand and carefully groped beside Li Xiuqi. After confirming that there were no gears beside Li Xiuqi, he breathed a sigh of relief, took out a small dagger from his sleeve, and took out the gear in the middle of the trap.

"We're lucky." He tossed the gear aside, stood up, looked up at the wellhead, and wondered how to get out.

Li Xiuqi didn't move at the same place, and said: "Your Highness, you can't get out of this height."

Unwilling to give up, Li Xuan stabbed the dagger into the rock wall. The blade of the dagger penetrated three or four inches deep and then stepped on it. In this way, he climbed up a few feet and found that the rock wall above the trap was no longer soiled. , but bare slate.

"It's also made of granite, which is extremely hard. Your Highness's dagger is useless. It must have been specially used to prevent wild animals from escaping."

Li Xuan looked up and found that the stone on the wall was shining silver in the moonlight.He turned around and fell from the stone wall, and stood there thinking for a while.Taking a breath, he raised his breath and jumped up lightly. He flew up a few feet, and then fell down. He had to take a few breaths, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "What should I do?"

"The emperor knows that we are in the south. If she doesn't come back tonight, she will know that we are in trouble, and she will send someone to look for it."

"Where are the little eunuchs who followed us at first?"

Li Xiuqi shook his head and said, "They may have gone back now."

Li Xuan had no choice but to sit down beside Li Xiuqi, leaning his back against the wall of the trap, and said, "Then just wait."

"En." Li Xiuqi responded.

It was much colder inside the trap than outside, and it was midnight, so Li Xuan didn't feel a little cold. He thought, since he felt cold, Li Xiuqi should feel even colder.

He raised his eyes to look at Li Xiuqi at the side, and saw that he was resting with his eyes closed, unable to tell whether his body was cold or not.

He hesitated for a moment, took off his outer layer of clothes, moved closer to Li Xiuqi, put the clothes on Li Xiuqi's body, leaving only one sleeve to cover himself.

Li Xiuqi opened his eyes, saw that Li Xuan had covered himself with his clothes, and was sleeping with one sleeve in his arms, he couldn't help laughing, and moved his body towards him, so that Li Xuan could cover him with more sleeves.

With his eyes closed, Li Xuan could clearly feel the heat coming from Li Xiuqi's body when he approached. Li Xiuqi's head just rested on his shoulder, and from time to time, he could still feel his breath on his shoulder.

Li Xuan secretly narrowed one eye, looked at Li Xiuqi, and saw that his eyes were quietly closed, so he opened them boldly, and looked at Li Xiuqi carefully under the moonlight.

It was only then that he noticed that there was a faint arc of shadow under Li Xiuqi's eyes, as if he hadn't slept well these few days, a protruding section from the tip of his nose just left a round shadow on his lips, his lips were a little pale, covered by the moon The light was even more bloodless.Li Xuan looked at those two lips. It felt like the pink cotton candy he saw when he was a child. It was soft and sweet. With evil thoughts beyond the rules.He pinched himself, and told himself silently in his heart: That's his good brother, how could he have such obscene thoughts.

He closed his eyes and muttered softly: "Heaven's destiny is nature, self-willedness is Tao, and cultivating the Tao is teaching. The Tao must not be separated from it even for a moment, but it is not the Tao... That's why, that's why, that's why." So..."

"That's why a gentleman is cautious about what he doesn't see, and fears what he doesn't hear." Li Xiuqi who was on the side suddenly opened his mouth to receive it.

Startled, Li Xuan hurriedly opened his eyes, and saw Li Xiuqi was still leaning there with his eyes closed.Li Xiuqi opened his mouth slowly and said, "Does Your Highness want to memorize books overnight?"

Li Xuan shook his head first, then saw that he hadn't opened his eyes, so he replied aloud: "I don't want to."

Li Xiuqi quickly said: "Then tell me about the hunting that day, Your Highness."

"Okay," Li Xuan grinned, and began to talk happily, from how he found the trace of the beast, to how he carried the beast back, he talked with great interest, and finally he told himself that he was tired It's gone, with his head hanging on his chest, lighting up, without making any sound.

After Li Xuan fell asleep, Li Xiu opened his eyes.He straightened Li Xuan's hanging head and let Li Xuan lean against the rock wall.Then quietly looked at Li Xuan's sleeping face like a child, and sighed softly.His eyes lingered on those two lips. People say that people with thin lips are often fickle and ungrateful, and those with thick lips are too dull, but Li Xuan's lips are neither thin nor thick, like a round upturned. The moon, the corners of the mouth are slightly upturned.Li Xiuqi's fingers moved slightly, and then retracted into his sleeves.
