then Li Sao

Zhou Tang didn't know where the little master had gone, but he thought that the hermitage in that letter should refer to returning to his hometown.

He has read in the book that Yuezhou is the main throat between Xizhao and Dacheng, and a large number of caravans often pass by, and Xizhao also pays tribute every year through here.There are many mountains and forests in Yuezhou. Due to the complex terrain, bandits often loot the property of caravans.

This kind of business with empty gloves and white wolves has attracted many desperadoes. Over time, the banditry in Yuezhou has become a huge cancer, threatening the lives of the people at all times.

Choosing to go to such a place, in fact, Zhou Tang was still quite uncertain, but when he thought that the little master would be there, he felt that there was nothing to hesitate.

It was past Qingming when we left.

The emperor named him "King of Yue" and rewarded him with 20 accompanying guards, four servants, a chariot, six horses, and two large boxes of other gold and silver pieces. Although he was far behind other powerful princes, But it's also a good parting gift.

Among the original servants of Fudong Hall, only Rue Xiang volunteered to go with him.Zhou Tang didn't force it either, and let them go.

When Rue Xiang packed Zhou Tang's luggage, she found that he put two things together with great care.

One is the sword bestowed by the emperor, and the other is a strange object wrapped in brocade secretly.

She was curious for a while, and wanted to take it apart to see what it was, but Zhou Tang who stepped into the inner hall stopped him loudly: "Don't move!"

Rue Xiang was startled and froze there.

Zhou Tang hurried over to check it out, and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the things were there.

"Your Highness, what is this?" Yunxiang asked, thinking that she didn't know what treasure it was that made him so nervous.

Zhou Tang peeled off a bit of the brocade and let her take a look: "A bow."

"bow?"

"Well, Luo Ping gave it to me. But I've worn it out, and if I don't tie it up like this, it will break." Zhou Tang wrapped it up carefully, and then warned, "Ruxiang, turn around and see him , you are not allowed to mention the fact that the bow is about to be broken, if he asks, you can just say that I cherish it very much and am not willing to use it."

"Yes, servant girl knows." Yunxiang agreed with a suppressed smile, but felt a little sad in her heart.

His Highness is looking forward to seeing Master Luo, if he arrives in Yuezhou and finds that he is not there...

Hey, that's all, it's useless to think too much, let's take one step at a time.

Zhou Tang and his party were going to leave the city through the east gate, but they bumped into the sixth prince who was also going through the east gate on the way.

Look at the situation, a large group of mighty people have blocked the street, and you can hear Concubine Yu crying in the soft sedan from a long distance.

Zhou Yang was dressed in fancy clothes and swaggered through the city on a pure white horse.Hearing his mother crying, he comforted her by the side of the sedan chair, but in the end he said that he was about to cry.Prime Minister Zuo confessed something to a few confidants around him, and then pulled Zhou Yang Xu Xu to talk, it seemed that they would not stop until they drove more than ten miles away.

Zhou Tang clicked his tongue and pulled the horse's rein.

The guards and servants behind him also stopped.

"Really, it makes me upset when I see it." Zhou Tang ordered the group of people behind him, "Change the road and leave the city through the North City Gate!"

"But Your Highness, you have to make a big detour to go out from the North City Gate." Someone persuaded.

"Walking around in circles, it's more comfortable than watching these people perform and cry for ten miles."

Saying that, Zhou Tang turned his horse's head and headed north first, and everyone hurried to follow.

Compared to the liveliness of the East Gate, the North Gate is much more desolate.

Zhou Tang walked out of the city without looking back, and no one saw him off, as if no one remembered that he had ever existed in this imperial city.And the person who should be remembered is not around at the moment.

His back was always straight.

The spring breeze was blowing, and a thousand-year-old green robe was blowing. With everything he had here, he gradually drifted away on the official road.

After walking for about ten miles, Ruexiang was a little tired, so she hung at the back of the team and sluggishly followed.

When the team suddenly stopped, she thought happily that she could rest, and was about to sit down, drink some water and eat something, but found that everyone did not intend to relax, and she couldn't help but feel a little confused.

What's wrong?Under the emperor's feet, is there still someone blocking the way to rob?

She took a few steps forward, over the heads of many centaurs, and finally saw the situation ahead.Seeing this, she was completely stunned - there were indeed people blocking the way, but it was not a robbery.

There was only one person standing in front of them, who looked like a scholar.

The man lifted the hem of his clothes and made a kneeling salute:

"Your Highness Seventh, the criminal Luo Ping has been waiting here for a long time."

----

Sitting on the horse, Zhou Tang couldn't believe what he saw for a while.

The rein in his hand creaked, and he pinched his palm with his nails, fearing that this was some kind of hallucination.

The man knelt in front of his horse and called him "Your Highness the Seventh Prince" in a clear voice, and said that he had been waiting for him for a long time at a place less than ten miles away from the imperial city.

How long?How long is it?An hour, a day, or a year?

"Get up, how long have you been waiting for me?"

"Back to Your Highness, no more, no less, one year." Luo Pingyao pointed to a house beside the official road, where apricot blossoms were in full bloom like snow, "Won't Your Highness go to my wine shop to have a rest?"

In front of everyone, Luo Ping still maintains a humble attitude.

Zhou Tang suddenly felt very mocking.This is more like a joke.

He waited in the city for his return, and he waited outside the city for him to come out.I have been thinking about it for so long, worrying day and night, but in fact it is only one ten miles, one year.

The joy of reunion made Zhou Tang almost unable to control his emotions, but in that joy was also mixed with his resentment for a whole year: this cruel little master just left him alone in the palace!And he himself opened a tavern with ease outside!

But he soon realized the strangeness: Luo Ping was waiting for him to leave the city at the north city gate?The four major gates of the imperial city, why is he at the north gate?What's more, he was going to go out from the east gate today, but he changed his itinerary on the spur of the moment. If he still chooses to leave the city through the east gate, wouldn't Luo Ping have to wait in vain?

Is this a coincidence?Also, is it a coincidence that he opened a wine shop in Beimen for a year?How does it feel, it seems that he expected this situation from the beginning.

"Xiao...uh, Luo Ping, how did you know that I would go through the North City Gate?"

"Forget it." Luo Ping answered inscrutablely.He has insight into the past, so how could he not know where Zhou Tang was going and which city gate he was going to come out from.

"Forget it? How does this count?" Zhou Tang asked suspiciously.

"In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was Zhuge Kongming who could predict fate by observing the astrology. Why can't I? Your Highness, I also know a lot of strange spells. Why don't you take me all the way with you?"

Zhou Tang only paused for a moment, and immediately came to his senses.

The man replied half-truth, half-acting.Ximu is a down-and-out scholar who was dismissed from office, and wants to take this opportunity to cling to His Highness the Prince and find another way out for himself.

Out of revenge, Zhou Tang rebuffed angrily, "I have no shortage of attendants, so why did I bring you such a useless scholar? You're still a big pervert, an irresponsible half-tongue."

Even though he was belittled like this, Luo Ping was not annoyed at all.He took a few steps forward and held Zhou Tang's left hand.

Looking up at the child sitting high on the horse, he smiled gently and said, "Why don't you take me with you? Although I am not as capable as Wolong, I can also serve His Highness."

"What can you do to help me?"

"I can help Your Highness..." Luo Ping took his palm, "Turn your hands back to reverse your destiny, and turn your hands back to restore the universe."

His voice was not loud, but extremely firm.

The body temperature is transmitted from the palm, it is such a nostalgic touch.

Of course, even if he didn't say anything at the moment, Zhou Tang would definitely take him with him.Even if tied, he would tie this person by his side.

However, he was also very interested in what the little master said, and he really felt that the little master always seemed to be able to predict something.

Maybe, he can really reverse his destiny and restore the universe?

After a group of them rested at the wine shop in Luoping, they set out on the road again in good spirits.

This time Zhou Tang didn't want to ride a horse anymore, he got into the carriage, and even dragged the little master into the carriage to accompany him.

Luo Ping couldn't resist him as the "King of Yue", so he could only sit in the carriage against the surprised eyes of other attendants.

Zhou Tang almost threw himself on him.

Luo Ping almost couldn't sit still: "Xiaotang, do you still look like a prince now?"

"Little master, I knew that you must take the opportunity to discipline me."

"...Then you still dare to pull me in?"

Zhou Tang buried his head in his neck and sniffed it carefully. After a while, he raised his face, his eyebrows and eyes curved: "Damn ghost, do you miss me?"

"..." For some reason, he obviously wanted to laugh, but Luo Ping felt something choked in his throat.

His little Tang grew up really fast, in just one year, his head had already reached his neck.Arms involuntarily hugged the boy's body, and he replied, "Well, I miss you very much."

Zhou Tang suddenly stopped talking and just looked at him fixedly.

"What's wrong?" Luo Ping asked.

"It's nothing." Zhou Tang shook his head, enduring the hot flashes that filled his eyes.

During the bumpy journey, Luo Ping remembered the scene of his previous life.

When he returned to his hometown, Zhou Tang came to Yuezhou a year later.

But at that time, he was hit hard by his dismissal, and he was in a daze all day long, his future was blank, and he didn't have the mind to pay attention to Zhou Tang at all.And at that time, he just felt pity for the child, and didn't expect much from him.

But this time is different, this time he came to assist Zhou Tang.It was only for Zhou Tang, so he was not at all lost.

In order to deceive others, he has been hiding his name outside the imperial city for a year, now is the time, it is time to take this child to experience the vastness of the sea and the sky, his Xiaotang will definitely not be a frog in a well.

This is a leisurely and comfortable journey, and Zhou Tang is always in a good mood.

When he was in a good mood, he would pull Luo Ping to talk in the carriage, and when he was in a particularly good mood, he would ride side by side with Luo Ping on horseback.Following the spring scenery, they gradually approached the boundary of Yuezhou.

On this day, Zhou Tang finally couldn't hold back his curiosity, and asked Luo Ping where his family was in Yuezhou and what it was like.

Luo Ping said that his home is actually on the edge of Yuezhou, quite far from the main city.

"Is it near the border of Huizhou?" Zhou Tang asked.

"No, it's the other side, the side near Xizhao." Luo Ping replied.

"Little Master, let's go and see your family first. It just so happened that I was asked to go around Yuezhou, so as to understand the local situation." Zhou Tang spoke eloquently.

"No, you, a prince, will scare them." Luo Ping disagreed.

"Who says I'm a prince? Am I not your student Xiaotang?"

"..." Yes, it's always very effective for Xiaotang to play rogue.

"If you don't agree, I will use my status as a prince to scare them."

"..." I haven't seen you for a year, and this kid's ability to threaten people has also improved by leaps and bounds.

Luo Ping had no choice but to agree.
