Tang Dynasty Never Night

Seeing Zheng Qi's surprised look, which is rare to see, Li Xianxiao's brows and eyes curved. To be honest, Zheng Qi is the best at pretending among the people he has ever met. Every day, he pretends to be calm and self-sufficient. Li Xian was a little proud of seeing him change his face after seeing him collapse in front of him without changing his face.

"Well, father has ordered me to sacrifice to the mountains and rivers. I don't know when I will be able to return after I go."

After hearing this, Zheng Qi was a little puzzled: "How long will it take to sacrifice mountains and rivers? What do you mean I don't know when I can return?"

Li Xian calmly reported a series of mountain names, Zheng Qi asked solemnly after listening, "What have you done recently to make the saint lady angry?"

This series of mountains can be roughly counted as tens of them. It doesn’t sound like a lot, but they are distributed in a wide range. Li Xian’s trip is equivalent to walking the entire Tang Dynasty. The Fuyu of the Tang Dynasty is vast. One or two years is short, so what is the difference between exile and exile?

Oh, the only difference is probably that Li Xian can return to Chang'an one day, if he is really exiled, he will not be able to return.That's why Zheng Qi suspected that Li Xian had offended the empress.

Of course, Li Xian couldn't tell the truth. If he really told him, he might not even have the chance to say goodbye in person.So he evaded the important point and said: "No, how could I make my father and mother angry? It's just that there has been a severe drought and famine in more than forty states recently, and my father is worried. It just so happens that last time...well, so I just went out to take care of my father. It’s just to share my worries, and I’ll take a paid trip and walk around, I haven’t looked around much since I came here.”

Zheng Qi didn't know whether to laugh or cry for a moment: "You... are really fooling around."

Li Xian shrugged his shoulders: "Okay, don't worry about me. If you need anything after I'm gone, you can go to Gan Baicheng." If Qi really needed him, probably the only possibility was that he didn't have enough money.

Zheng Qi appreciated his kindness very much, he paused and said: "Be careful all the way, since it's just a sacrifice, don't get too close with officials from all walks of life, you are not short of money, they will definitely give you some treasures, if you don't If it is expensive, it will be accepted, if it is too expensive, it is best not to accept it."

Li Xian nodded. He is not stupid. The bones of those who were killed in the ink corruption case are still there. Even if he is a prince, he can't be too unscrupulous.Although Zheng Qi said to let him take care of it, Li Xian had already made up his mind not to take anything along the way, anyway, he didn't want to make friends with ministers, nor did he want to cultivate his own influence, it would be best to be an idle prince.

Zheng Qi gave a lot of detailed instructions, and he sighed after Li Xian left. To be honest, he has never been so careful even with his own son, and for some reason, he was surprised by Li Xian's trip this time. Some regret.

Li Xian didn't sleep well that night, and Zheng Qi also didn't sleep well. He suddenly had an urge to escort Li Xian out.It's just that this impulse was suppressed by him. He is no longer what he used to be. It is not the Wang Fu who was not valued and had no foundation before, but Uncle Anning with outstanding military achievements. The prince sacrificed on behalf of the emperor. It is impossible for a person to let an earl escort him. If that is the case, the court will slap him in the face again.

He should think more carefully about doing the same thing. He has not had the right to be willful for many years.For a moment, Zheng Qi felt a little melancholy.

There was quite a lot of movement when Li Xian left. After all, he had to be on the road for such a long time. Although Li Zhi and Empress Wu did not set a time limit for him, for Li Xian, of course, the sooner he came back, the better. The one who likes to float outside every day?

On the day of leaving, Li Xian sat in the carriage and looked back at the Jiucheng Palace. He felt a little dazed for a moment, and just like that... went out.Traveling to the Tang Dynasty for the first time to go abroad for a long time, Li Xian suddenly felt a little bit reluctant, wishing he could just run back.He also came to see Zheng Qi off from Beijing, looking at Zheng Qi's getting smaller and smaller figure, he didn't know what it would be like to meet next time.

Li Xian went to work on his work, but Zheng Qi was free. After returning from the expedition, they were rewarded by the saints, and they all had vacations.Zheng Qi is usually a workaholic, even when he is on vacation, he is always busy with work, but these days, he is unexpectedly not busy with this or that, instead, he reads and eats regularly every day like his youth.

Zheng Niang and Zheng Linjiang didn't think there was anything wrong at first. The son who had gone through the war had changed so much that even Zheng Linjiang didn't dare to present Lao Tzu's genealogy in front of him, but Zheng Niang was the same as before, but as time passed, As time passed, she always felt that something was wrong.

Every time I went to deliver snacks and fresh fruits to my son, I could see him reading a book, but Mo Ruomu knew her son, how could she not know if Zheng Qi was really reading while sitting there?He didn't turn the pages of the book for a long time, but just stared at one point, saying that he was reading a book...no one would believe it.

After coming down several times, Zheng Niang said very simply: "Sanlang, if you can't read it, then don't read it. Take a good rest for a few days."

She also loves her son very much. Originally, this son was good at studying since he was a child. She was looking forward to his son becoming an official, but she never thought that his son could be a knight!But when she thought that her son had earned this title with all her efforts, Zheng Niang felt a little uncomfortable. She didn't ask for great wealth, but only hoped that her son would live a safe life. Now that his son is so abnormal, could it be... something embarrassing up?

Zheng Qi came back to his senses, looked at his mother and nodded, but he didn't dare to tell the truth. He could say that he was just thinking about where King Zhou is now, and the journey was smooth?

To be honest, he didn't show it when he went out to fight. After all, Li Xian was on the Tiantai Mountain side, so there shouldn't be any problems in his territory, but now that he was here and Li Xian went out, he couldn't help but start to worry.

Li Xian has never traveled far except for that time when he prayed to the mountains and rivers, and...Zheng Qi always felt a little strange. Although there was a severe drought as an excuse, the court priests usually just find a famous mountain to worship, and the rest is up to the locals. Sacrifice, Li Xian... it seems that he is deliberately asking him to go out and stay for a while.

Zheng Niang saw that Zheng Qi continued to be in a daze after she finished speaking, and suddenly her heart moved, she opened her mouth but didn't say anything, she reminded Zheng Qi to eat more snacks, then left, and turned to look for Zheng Linjiang.

"What? You said that Saburo has someone in his heart?" Zheng Linjiang looked at his wife in confusion, not understanding why she said that.

Zheng Niang Yang didn't expect her man to notice anything, she thought about it carefully and said: "These two days, San Lang doesn't think about tea and food, he can't even concentrate on reading, and he is often in a daze, maybe he is thinking What kind of young lady?"

After Zheng Linjiang heard it, he laughed directly: "That's not good? Didn't you always worry that Sanlang won't be able to marry a wife? If the woman's family is not bad and Sanlang likes it, so what if she hires her? It's not me, my son Apart from the sons of heaven, who else's daughters cannot be married?"

Zheng Linjiang is very proud, his son is of special value, although he has no real job other than honor, but Zheng Linjiang can be regarded as open, he was open to it even after repeated trials before, let alone now Well, anyway, his son is promising, so he just waits to enjoy the blessings of his descendants.

Yang glared at him: "Don't be frivolous, if you say this, you will cause trouble for Saburo. Hey, I was worried. Before, I wanted to find a girl from the right family, but now... as long as the family is okay, but... …Sanlang hasn’t been at home very much for nearly a year, he didn’t behave like this before he left for the expedition, and it’s just like this when he returned from the expedition... Dalang, do you think Sanlang has taken a fancy to Fanbang girls?”

Zheng Linjiang froze for a moment and suddenly raised his eyebrows: "He dares!"

Fanbang's reputation in the Tang Dynasty was not good, especially in recent days, their son had lived and died several times, and the scars on his body were not all good things done by those Fanbang people?His son should... not be messed up, right?

After thinking about it, Zheng Linjiang wanted to question Zheng Qi, but was stopped by Mrs. Yang: "Forget it, the more you help with this matter, the more busy you are. Let me ask Sanlang."

Zheng Linjiang nodded silently remembering his son's increasingly aggressive aura recently.

So Zheng Qi, who was sitting in the study and thinking about the political significance of Li Xian's going out, saw his mother who had gone and returned.

"Aniang?" Zheng Qi was a little strange, his mother's expression didn't look right, what happened?

After sitting down, Mrs. Yang decided not to make detours with her son. Her son can go smoothly in the court. She is definitely not his son's opponent for detours, so let's ask directly.

"Sanlang, tell Aniang the truth, are you...following a girl?"

Zheng Qi looked at Yang Shi inexplicably: "Why would you ask such a question? Not at all."

Yang carefully observed her son's expression, it didn't look like a fake, she couldn't help but asked: "You don't think about food and drink these two days, what's the reason why you don't belong? If you have a sweetheart, what is it? Which little lady do you like?" Just tell A Niang, even if it is difficult, A Niang will try her best to get it for you, and Saburo should not suffer himself."

Zheng Qi...Zheng Qi didn't know what to say to Yang Shi anymore, he said helplessly: "I don't have any sweetheart, how does Aunt know that my son is not worried about political affairs?"

Yang patted him: "I don't know you yet? Don't play tricks in front of A Niang."

That tone was... If you fell in love with someone, quickly admit it, and your mother will hire you for you.

Zheng Qi put away the book and said with a smile: "What if my mother doesn't like this person?"

Yang's complexion changed slightly, could it be that she is really Hu Nu?

Knowing about this son, Yang, it is impossible to suppress it, but it is no problem to reason with him.

So Yang said directly: "As long as the family is clean and able to support the Earl's Mansion, Auntie is not such an unreasonable person."

The Yang family has directly delineated a range for Zheng Qi, who is innocent and can support the Earl's Mansion. To be honest, there are not too many women who meet these two requirements. No, it is only possible if everyone is a lady.

Zheng Qi didn't really have any idea about these two things. In his previous life, his wife died early, and the women he wanted to remarry later missed because of this reason. Basically, he lived his whole life alone, and he didn't want to marry in this life. However, it is unreasonable not to marry a wife, so although the two young ladies died for a reason, in Zheng Qi's eyes, it is probably that his own fate is too hard.

Fortunately, this fate is hard enough for his parents. Since then, he has accepted the idea of ​​marrying a wife. Anyway, it is not impossible for a person to live alone. Now seeing his mother's old things brought up again, he is also a little tired. I don't know why The explanation is good, but...why does he act like he has a sweetheart?

Seeing Zheng Qi's unresponsive look, Yang suddenly felt that this guy... might follow his father, he doesn't know what liking is at all, even if he falls in love with a young lady...

Thinking of this, Yang suddenly felt that she had to wake up her son.

So Yang did not continue to ask but said: "Sanlang, you have to remember that if you really have someone you like, as long as it is suitable, you should not give up, otherwise you will be the one who regrets it in the future."

Zheng Qi helplessly listened to Yang's babbling, and then Yang turned to what it's like to like someone. Yang said, thinking about her all day long, thinking about her, worried that she would not have enough to eat and wear warm, Worried that she would be wronged, and being happy and relaxed when seeing her, that's probably enough. Yang also wanted him to find someone who could make him feel this way.

Zheng Qi was still noncommittal at first, he had contact with too few young ladies, basically no one could give him such a feeling, but as Yang babbled, a face suddenly flashed in Zheng Qi's mind.

It was a very young, young man, with a face full of baby fat, exquisite facial features and bright eyes. He was obviously good-looking but smiled silly. That was... Zhou Wang Li Xian!

Zheng Qi was terrified. To be honest, if all the conditions mentioned by Yang were substituted, Li Xian really seemed to...everything fits.

To tell the truth, Zheng Qi is basically very relaxed when staying with Li Xian, because Li Xian is too pure a person, he is good or bad, he smiles when he is happy, and keeps a straight face when he is unhappy, and he can make food, He can also make all kinds of strange things. When he was on the front line and received something secretly sent by Li Xian, he was really touched at that moment. His emotional world has always been barren, and no one has been like this for many years. Miss him.

Moreover, there is a tacit understanding between him and Li Xian that others cannot know. They know each other's secrets and believe that the other party will never tell them.

But...but no matter how insensitive Zheng Qi was, he knew that this was wrong. His mother was asking him what kind of lady he liked, and Li Xian was not a lady!

Seeing her son starting to be in a daze, Yang couldn't help but shook her head and sighed. Forget it, if you can't ask, you can't ask. Even if your son likes Hu Nu, as long as he doesn't bring her back, Yang will pretend not to see it. Brought it back... just to be a concubine, that doesn't matter, but that has to be after getting married.

Zheng Qi didn't know when Mrs. Yang left. He himself was really upset now. To be honest, he was a little glad that he was on vacation now, otherwise it would definitely be impossible to work in this state.

Zheng Qi is used to finding answers to all questions by himself, but now he suddenly hesitated, always thinking that if he continued to think, he would get an answer that his whole family would definitely not like to see.

So Zheng Qi, who wanted to be tough and brave, shrank back for the first time, and stopped thinking about these troublesome things.But although he didn't think about it anymore, his instinct didn't let him go. He was still paying attention to Li Xian's various news.

As for Li Xian, his passing was pretty good, and he was well prepared for the trip. Apart from the fact that the road was a bit boring, he had a good time.

His first stop was Mount Hua. There was no way, it was close to here.There is also an altar on Mount Hua. When Li Xian got there, he was relieved to know that the altar was not at the top of the mountain but at the foot of the mountain——if this nima asked him to climb Mount Hua in a dress, he might as well just kill him!

The preparations for the sacrificial ceremony had already been prepared by the vanguard troops. After Li Xian arrived here, he rested for the night, and before the sun rose the next day, he ran over to make sacrifices.

When Li Xian got there and began to carry out various steps, the sun had already shown his face a little. To be honest, Li Xian was always on his mind. If possible, he hoped that it would rain, but he didn't want it to rain when he was offering sacrifices. That was simply too much to kill.

As a result... God probably didn't hear the prayer in his heart, but only heard the sacrificial rites he recited. Anyway, just after the sacrificial rites were burned, the sunny day turned cloudy, and the gentler thing was that it rained lightly at first, but then It turned into moderate rain, and finally into a downpour.

After finally finishing the sacrificial ceremony, I rolled and climbed to the already soaked offline: God, thank you so much.

This time Li Xian was more clever, and sent people early to collect information to see where it was raining this time.The following news is that half of the more than forty states have rained, and the other half has not continued to rain.

Li Xian nodded, looking at the adoring eyes of the people below, he couldn't bear it any minute.Nima, it's not a good thing for God to give face too much. He once thought about pretending to be a magic stick, but how he pretends to be is under his own control. Now... I always feel that I have been cheated by God. Already.

Anyway, we still have to continue to the next stop. It rained heavily near Mount Hua for three days, and after three days, Li Xian continued on the road.

At the same time, the two emperors and empresses in Jiucheng Palace on Tiantai Mountain were already completely surprised: Is this okay?

Although it rained when Li Xian prayed for rain before, the emperor and empress regarded it more as a coincidence, after all, there was a severe drought later, didn't they?A rain is just a solution to the urgent need, and it does not solve the problem fundamentally.

This time the main thing is to let Li Xian go out for a walk, don't let him think about love all day long, of course, it can be regarded as an indirect separation between him and Zheng Qi. Not too convinced.

Who would have thought that, really...it would really rain when the child went to pray for rain?There are so many famous mountains and great rivers, most of them are in drought-prone places. If they all come here and it rains... Maybe there is still some hope this year?

In fact, not to mention that Li Zhi and Empress Wu found it unbelievable, even Zheng Qi felt that Li Xian was a bit mysterious-does this guy have other identities?

It rained heavily for two days, Li Xian walked to the next sacrificial place, and then...it rained again during the sacrificial ceremony.

Touching the rainwater on his face, Li Xian felt that he was about to go numb. He wondered if he would be confessed when he went back?

And in Jiucheng palace...the empress and empress were also numb, their thoughts were surprisingly the same: I want to see how much rain it can rain!

Li Xian walked and played all the way, but as the sacrificial ceremony was held, the people in the team respected him more and more. In the end, he felt like he wanted to confess him——people who were not in the scene couldn't feel it of.

On a fine sunny day, the sun was burning in the sky and people would be burnt. As a result, when King Zhou went to sacrifice, it rained.The various legends left by the places where Li Xian walked can almost form a storybook.

The news of these two places in Chang'an City on Tiantai Mountain is even more well-informed. Everyone knows that it rained when King Zhou sacrificed, so many ordinary people are discussing: His Royal Highness King Zhou was born under the care of the Dragon King, right?

After all, in the legend, only the Dragon King has the ability to spread clouds and rain, so King Zhou really feels like it.

So when Li Xian didn't know it, he secretly got another title: Little Dragon King.Of course, this title belongs to him. The saint is the real dragon emperor, and the prince is naturally the dragon son. It is not too outrageous to be called a little dragon king by a prince. If it is a different person, Li Zhi will probably be angry.

In this way, Li Xian was watered all the way, well, he was only watered during the sacrificial ceremony. He always felt that maybe God didn't like him wearing a big dress, otherwise why didn't it rain when he was usually on the road?But it rained when he sacrificed?

It's just... It's not good if it rains too much. After all, the news from Li Xian is a bit slow, and Li Zhi in Jiucheng palace is already a little worried.

On May [-]th of the first year of Xianheng, it rained continuously for several days, the mountains and rivers overflowed, and more than [-] people drowned...

When it rained too much, it became a mountain torrent. Li Zhi had no choice but to issue an edict to make people chase after Zhou Wang and his party. The edict was also very simple: Son, don't pray for rain, there is a mountain torrent It's too late, come back quickly, the people can't bear it anymore.

Li Xian was completely dumbfounded when he received the edict. He just...had just walked to Kunlun Town, basically he didn't even walk halfway to Datang, and now he's going back?Zheng Qi is also at Tiantai Mountain now, if he goes back... his parents won't have any objections, right?

Just when Li Xian was struggling, Li Zhi's second edict also arrived. This time Li Zhi told Li Xian very gently: Son, if you want to play, go and play, just don't sacrifice, oh, no, It's time to pray for good weather, do you think it's okay?Let's not pray for rain.

Looking at this edict, Li Xian was speechless for a moment, it seemed that Li Zhi really didn't want him to go back in a short time.Li Xian sighed, resigned to his fate and wanted to continue walking.

It turned out that he didn't succeed this time, not only did he not succeed, but he also encountered the biggest crisis after crossing over: the three parts of the Golden Tooth Department, the Wang Department, and the Barbarian Department!

And the junction of the territories of these tribes and the Tang Dynasty... just happened to be in Kunlun Town.

Li Xian: let me go home qaq
