It was late at night, and the streets should have been dark and quiet after the market closed, but they were brightly illuminated by the torches in the hands of a large group of soldiers and guards.

The sound of footsteps was chaotic, and the doors of every household were roughly opened in turn to search for the criminal they were talking about. Inns, taverns, and even rich households were all without exception.

The indoor lights are dim, and the young man in a moon-white long dress is standing by the window on the second floor of the inn. Melt spring water.At this time, he lowered his head slightly to see the groups of Naruto figures downstairs, and frowned slightly.

The delicate servant boy asked from the side: "My lord, this person's origin is unknown, so he might be the person they are looking for?"

Pei Xingzhi turned his head to look at the comatose young man lying on the bed. The light illuminated his pale side face, reflecting his long eyelashes as beautiful as feathers, his lips pursed uneasily, and his brows furrowed slightly, as if Very restless sleep.

I remembered what the doctor who checked the pulse said before.Such a young person is as weak as a hundred-year-old with a great loss of vitality. Not only is his time running out, but he will also be plagued by illness and difficulty in the days to come.

He said softly: "If you can help, then help him."

The sound of footsteps outside the door approached, and the officers and soldiers knocked on the door while shouting in a rough voice: "The imperial court has arrested the important criminal, open the door quickly."

Ah Yan opened the door, Pei Xingzhi stuffed the money bag into the leader's arms, bowed slightly, and said in a gentle manner: "Brothers, my wife has fallen asleep due to the wind and cold, please don't bother me."

The man weighed the heavy purse, and then returned it to the waiter beside him, with a half-smile, "I'm sorry, brother, we are here on official business to follow orders, there is nothing we can do." He raised his hand, "Search !"

Pei Xingzhi wanted to say something, but was bumped away by the man with his shoulder. Five officers and soldiers entered the room together, and the leader lifted the gauze curtain between the outer room and the inner room, and was stunned in vain.

The woman in red was sitting on the couch with her back facing everyone, her slender hair was like splashed ink.

She turned her head slightly, her long eyelashes rolled her eyes, and when she saw them, she frowned, lowered her head and stroked her raised belly, and comforted her softly, "Don't be afraid, baby." Qing Qi, this time with a bit of coldness, "There is no one you are looking for here."

Pei Xingzhi reacted quickly after being slightly stunned, and went forward to support the "woman"'s thin shoulders, "What's the matter, but the pain in the abdomen?"

The beauty looked at him sideways, then softened her voice, "They scared the child."

Pei Xingzhi glanced behind him, and said indifferently: "A Yan, see off the guests."

Seeing the servant Ah Yan sending the officers and soldiers out and locking the door, Shuli took out the pillow hidden in her clothes, patted her chest, "It's dangerous."

There was a smile in Pei Xingzhi's eyes, "You woke up in time."

Shuli raised her eyes to look at him, "Save me rashly, don't ask me what I did?"

"You and I just met by chance, why should I know?"

"I'm a criminal ordered by the court, the kind who kills without batting an eye." Shuli smiled slyly.

"Well, so powerful?" The smile in Pei Xingzhi's eyes deepened, "Then what are you going to do next?"

"In order to cover up my whereabouts, I must kill you."

Ah Yan went to the outside room to fetch medicine, but didn't hear their godlike conversation, and when he approached, he only heard the words "Killing and silence", his face changed instantly, but was stopped by Pei Xingzhi.

Pei Xingzhi took the medicine and handed it to Shuli, jokingly said, "I've never seen such a weak killer."

Shuli laughed out loud, drank the dark and thick Chinese medicine in one go, and said seriously when handing the bowl back to him, "Thank you for saving my life."

Pei Xingzhi shook his head, "It's just a matter of raising your hands." The corner of his mouth slightly raised, "Pei Xingzhi, I don't know what you should call your son?"

"Shuli."

The candle suddenly exploded. Pei Xingzhi took off the paper cover and cut the candle wick short with scissors. The dancing flame made his face look like jade. He glanced at him and asked, "Tomorrow I'm going back to the city. How about you?" How should we plan?"

"Where are you going back?"

Pei Xingzhi replied softly: "Qingyun City." Putting down the scissors, "I came to the capital for business, and I should go back after I finish."

"Based on today's posture, I definitely can't stay here any longer." Shuli propped her chin, "If it doesn't bother me, can I follow you?"

Pei Xingzhi paused, but before he could answer, Ah Yan showed dissatisfaction and said, "My lord—"

"Anyway, I don't have many days left to live. I might die someday. I won't depend on you for too long. If you are worried about being implicated by me, if you are found out, say that you arrested me and prepare to receive a reward from the government. I'll be very cooperative."

Shuli's eyes were full of smiles, but she spoke in a normal tone and even smiled when she said such words, as if she didn't care how long she could live.

Pei Xingzhi frowned, "Don't say such stupid things, there is Wenxi, the world's number one medical sage, who lives in Qingyun City, and he will find a solution."

It means agreeing to accompany Shuli.

Although the beauty in red was weak and pale, her expression was soaring, "Then thank you Brother Pei."

Pei Xingzhi smiled slightly, "Since you call me big brother, I naturally have the responsibility to help you."

The person in front of him is really gentle as jade and gentleman as orchid, and his every move reveals extremely high self-cultivation and incomparable kindness.

Shuli was deeply depressed.

If only my strategy targets were so gentle, considerate and understanding.

Qingyun City is a small city outside the capital. Although the city is small, it is actually very rich. It has already prospered before the Tianshu Kingdom. The Pei family is a century-old family in Qingyun City. Every family head is the city owner of Qingyun City. Now Pei Xingzhi inherited the position of city lord at a young age, and managed the affairs of the Pei family and the city.

As a family with a deep foundation, most of the Pei family's mansion were domestic slaves trained for generations, and they were naturally loyal, so Pei Xingzhi brought a living person home, and there was no rumor that he would leave the mansion.

And because of the intensified floods in the south, the emperor, who was already in poor health, was so angry that he coughed up blood and was bedridden. The state affairs could only be entrusted to the crown prince.Baili Yunrang was very busy for a while, although the search for Shuli was not delayed, it was dragged down after all.

As mentioned above, it is reasonable for Shuli to be stable for such a long time.

Pei Xingzhi really invited Wenxi for Shuli. After carefully examining his body, the famous medical sage could only shake his head, and prescribed a few warming and nourishing medicines before giving up.

Pei Xingzhi was surprisingly kind to Shuli, he had found all kinds of precious medicinal materials for him, and stared at him to force him to avoid eating and keep healthy.

But it was useless, Shuli's body was still deteriorating.But this person didn't take it seriously, he did everything he could to refuse to take the medicine and asked to let the wind roll around, as if he wasn't the one who was covered in pain, he laughed and laughed all day long, so that even the insiders felt sad when they saw it.

Pei Xingzhi had nothing to do with him, after all, he was a man with no medicine to cure him, so he no longer restrained him, let him eat whatever he wanted in the mansion, and play whatever he wanted, with one thing: no going out. Mansion——Firstly, I am afraid of being discovered, and secondly, the wind in early spring is too cold, Shuli will not be able to bear it.

……

The Lantern Festival is an annual grand event in Qingyun City. When night falls, all kinds of lanterns will be placed on the roadside. People wear masks and carry lanterns to stop and go to watch the grand scene in the market. Demonstrating eighteen kinds of martial arts, hawkers hawk all kinds of food along the street, restaurants and restaurants are open, and the aroma of wine, coriander and rouge is flowing, it is really lively.

The festive lanterns gathered in front of her eyes were as bright and gorgeous as the Milky Way, and people's laughter and laughter mingled in the air. Shuli took a deep breath, "Seeing this scene, I suddenly feel that it's good to be alive."

He was wearing a plain white brocade dress, and his figure was tall and slender wrapped in a cloak. His long hair was tied loosely around his waist with a headband, and he wore a white mask that covered the upper half of his face. Openwork mandala.

Even if you can't see the whole face, you will be a first-class beauty in terms of figure.

Pei Xingzhi frowned slightly when he heard the words, and when Shuli said "it's good to be alive", there was still a careless smile on his lips, as if it was just an innocuous sentence, he thought it was good to be alive, but it was fine to die .

There was a thin throbbing pain in his chest, just like when I saw him smiling nonchalantly.Pei Xingzhi looked away to look at the food stalls on the side of the road, and said in a low voice, "You used to be asked to drink medicine and you never wanted to drink it. If you really find the benefits of living, you should try your best to live on."

"You know, it's useless." Shuli coughed and tugged at the collar.

Although it is cool in early spring, there is no need to wear such a heavy cloak, so people passing by looked at him with a strange look, but he didn't care much, "A lot of times it's not like you can do whatever you want, like me I want to go home, for example, I want to live a good life, for example, I want to see all the mountains, rivers and seas in the world, but I can’t do it. There are nine out of ten unsatisfactory things in life, and there are only one or two things that I can try my best to do.”

Pei Xingzhi fell silent, and asked after a long time: "Do you want to go home, live a good life, and see all the mountains, rivers and seas in the world?" He paused awkwardly, "I have never heard you mention these wishes."

The system suddenly said: ["Shuli, there are some problems with the people around you now."] Shuli: ["Ah, my good brother finally came to me."]

"Since it's useless, why bring it up." Shuli tilted her head to look at the sad profile of the young man, "Pei Xingzhi, are you feeling sorry for me?"

Pei Xingzhi stopped suddenly and looked straight at Shuli.

The person in front of him smiled so much that the corners of his lips were blooming, and thousands of lights and shadows fell in his eyes. He stretched out his hand, and his slender fingers swept across the person's eyebrows and eyes in mid-air through the mask, but Shuli raised his hand to block his fingertips.

Pei Xingzhi withdrew his hand suddenly, and tightened the corners of his lips, "I lost my temper, sorry."

Shuli said: "I want to eat the blue and white crisps from the food stall I passed by just now."

"no--"

"I'll wait for you here." He added, "I promise you won't wander around."

Pei Xingzhi's expression was still a little dazed, he gave Shuli a look and then turned around in compromise.

Seeing his figure drifting away, Shuli walked down the opposite road unhurriedly.

He did it on purpose, deliberately said something suggestive to disturb Pei Xingzhi's mood, and then led him to go elsewhere.As for the stall where the blue and white crisps are located, it is two streets away from here, and he will not be able to come back for a while.

Well, even if you finally wake up halfway, you probably won't arrive so soon.

Pei Xingzhi helped him so much, and she even took advantage of him a little, Shuli didn't want him to be angered by Baili Yunrang.

Guessing that there has been a considerable distance between Pei Xingzhi and Pei Xingzhi, Shuli started to run
