Qi Xiao ate a meal of meat and was happy for two hours. Not long after boarding the boat, he started to feel dizzy again. Fortunately, he took a walk around Chuanyang Lake and drank the seasickness soup, which at least allowed him to sleep well. .

Baixiqiao was left on the boat and didn't have a chance to taste Lao Wan's stewed meat with cabbage. Hearing what Zong Sheng said, he felt very itchy.

Qi Xiao and Zong Sheng did not forget about Baixi Bridge, and brought back three beggar chickens from Lao Wan's house, one of which was given to Su Qin and the other to the boatman. The beggar chicken can't wait to gnaw the bones of the chicken and swallow it.

The other room at the bow did not have such a pleasant atmosphere. Qing Lan felt aggrieved, and angrily reprimanded Tang Ling to Qi Xiao: "Even the boatmen can share a beggar chicken, but here we are There is nothing! The whole cabin is filled with the smell of beggar chickens, and it can penetrate into our room through the cracks in the wall, it is clearly a deliberate bully!"

Tang Ling couldn't help laughing, she took a sip of tea, looking careless.

"My lord, are you still laughing?!"

"Qing Lan, I still have an injury on my arm, even if I send you a beggar chicken, I can only taste it? Then you want me to watch you eat it?"

"... This... This... It's our business whether we eat or not, but whether we give it or not is of great importance!"

Tang Ling shook her head gently with a smile: "Qing Lan, think back to what happened to us after we entered the Chen Kingdom, the danger of life and death, the shame of prisoners, which one is not more serious than a beggar chicken? Think about him again. Who is Qi Xiao? Is he a good person if he saves me? He only saved my life for profit, and he has nothing to do to show his courtesy. If he really sent me a beggar chicken, I would not dare to eat it. "

After hearing Tang Ling's words, Qing Lan felt even more uncomfortable, pursed her mouth, lowered her head, and said in a low voice: "It's Qing Lan who is useless.

But son, can't you talk about yourself as if you are some kind of animal, and you can kill it to eat it when you have fattened it up? "Qing Lan is probably so greedy that she can't even speak properly.

Tang Ling took a sip of tea and almost spit out, raised her hand and tapped Qing Lan's forehead: "Did you say that about your son!"

"My lord, Qing Lan knew she was wrong."

Tang Ling sighed and said nothing more.

Qing Lan had a sad face, and it was not enough to complain for Tang Ling in his heart. He couldn't hold back his thoughts, and he couldn't say anything quickly: "That Chu king is really bad, he was so bad at a young age. The insult is not enough, the last time he knew that the young master was injured and let him sleep on the floor, but he didn’t even know you burned so badly in the middle of the night, almost costing the young master half his life! Fortunately, the law of reincarnation is good, who would have thought that he would be afraid of water and get seasick, so he was on the Qin River It became a dead fish, unable to jump up again!"

"Qing Lan, I've said it many times, so be careful."

"My lord, there are only two of us in this room, you can't go and sue me to that boy King Chu."

Tang Ling sighed silently, Qing Lan and Qi Xiao should be about the same age, why are their temperaments so different?

Tang Ling caressed the wound on her arm unconsciously. His wound had healed and only occasionally felt a dull pain when it was pulled. Every time Tang Ling saw the wound, every time she felt the pain, Tang Ling never thought of that night. The most dangerous was Qi Xiao who stood barefoot in a pool of blood and his stern eyes.

What has he been through?Why does a pampered prince, or a prince who no one cares about, have martial arts?And how to cultivate such evil spirit that seems to kill gods and ghosts?

When Tang Ling was under 12 years old, she followed her father into the military camp and went to the battlefield. He heard the earth-shattering killing cries, saw the corpses full of pits and valleys, and saw countless eyes full of murderous intent, resentment, and hatred. After their death, the gray and colorless despair, but there is no pair of eyes like Qi Xiao to make him worry about it.

At that moment, when Tang Ling looked into Qi Xiao's eyes, she couldn't see anything other than the endless blackness. She was neither firm nor vicious, but Tang Ling clearly felt that the endless black image had a huge power. Strength, dragged himself in so hard that he couldn't breathe.

Tang Ling didn't know what was hidden in that black abyss, but he kept thinking about it and couldn't help thinking about it. Even if there was no result, the shock left in his heart by that glance lingered for a long time, and even became clearer, reappearing again and again , as if to plunge into his heart.

Tang Ling seemed to be standing by the edge of an abyss, while instinctively alerted to the danger, at the same time she couldn't control her curiosity to explore.

When Qi Xiao woke up, the sky was still dark. I don't know what time it was, the boat was still rocking, but it seemed to have eased, probably because the weather outside was fine and there was no wind and no waves.

Qi Xiao woke up with a start as soon as he was in Zongsheng: "Master?"

"It's okay, you go to sleep."

Qi Xiao put on a cloak as if to go out.

"Master, it's not dawn yet, where are you going?"

"Sit in the stern of the boat while it's clean, it's okay, you can continue to sleep."

Qi Xiao refused to let him follow, Zong Sheng didn't dare to follow, he could only watch helplessly as Qi Xiao carried the pot and Liu Yeqing walked out.

There were a lot of people on board, and Qi Xiao was very seasick, so he wanted to save face. Since he met Tang Ling outside last time and was seen as a joke, he almost stayed behind closed doors. Taking advantage of the silence of the night, he wanted to enjoy the wind and drink by himself.

Holding a jug in one hand and a small lamp in the other, Qi Xiao walked to the poop deck with the gently swaying tide, put the oil lamp by his side, and sat down. If it wasn't for the small lamp shining on one side, he would almost To be one with the ship in the dark.

The moon in the sky has gone to nowhere, it is pitch black, and I am afraid it will be dawn soon.

Qi Xiao drank the wine in sips, the willow leaves were green and fragrant and sweet, and when he entered his throat, he felt a slight bitterness but it was very mild, not strong and stimulating, but had a mellow aftertaste, no wonder it became a unique in Chuanyang Lake.

Liu Yeqing was gentle, Qi Xiao unconsciously drank more, the pot of wine was empty after a while, and it was dawn.

The morning sun climbs up the mountain from the east, and the white morning light covers the black mountain and blends with the mountain mist. It is not until the golden red clouds spread their wings like a flying phoenix to cover the sky and the earth that the morning sun leaps out of the mountain with a blaze of light.

Qi Xiao closed his eyes, feeling the temperature brought by the sun, which dispelled the cold air at night and melted the mist on the Qinjiang River.

The boatmen always got up early, and Qi Xiao heard the sound when it was dawn, but he didn't bother to move before people came to the stern to disturb him.

Now it was daylight and the wine was finished, it was time to go back to the cabin.

Qi Xiao stood up, held up the small lamp and walked back, approaching the cabin door only to find a person standing inside.

"Did I disturb you?" Tang Ling also had a lamp in her hand, and it seemed that she came out before dawn.

"What are you doing standing here?"

"I heard the boatman say that the sunrise on the Qinjiang River is very beautiful, so I wanted to see it. When I came out, I found you sitting at the stern. I didn't dare to go out for fear of disturbing you."

Tang Ling pursed her lips, "Last time, I didn't mean to make fun of you."

Qi Xiao could understand, Tang Ling knew that the last time they met on the deck, knowing that he was seasick made him lose face, so Qi Xiao avoided him, and he didn't dare to show up rashly to make fun of himself.

But Qi Xiao understood better, if Tang Ling really wanted to save face for him and knew how to avoid it, she should turn around and leave early in the morning, why not watch the sunrise from the bow of the boat?Had to stand in the cabin door and wait for him to come by himself.

Qi Xiao's face was flushed after drinking, and he exuded a sense of laziness. The sunrise was beautiful just now, and Liu Yeqing was also delicious. He was in a good mood and didn't want to argue with Tang Ling, so he hummed lightly and wiped his body. Pass Tang Ling and walk into the cabin.

"Qi Xiao."

Tang Ling called him to stop.

Qi Xiao's footsteps paused, hesitating in his heart whether he should stop, but he had already turned around, facing Tang Ling face to face.

Tang Ling took a kit from her waist and handed it to Qi Xiao: "I asked Qinglan to make sugar pills, which can refresh your mind and relieve seasickness when you put them in your mouth."

Qi Xiao might have drunk too much and was a little drunk, he had forgotten where his usual arrogance and vileness had gone, he reached out to take it, raised his eyes and smiled: "Thank you."

Tang Ling was a little surprised for a moment, he actually saw some tenderness on Qi Xiao's face.

"Why are you surprised? Didn't you do this specially for me? Shouldn't I thank you?" Qi Xiao looked at Tang Ling with a smile, his eyes were a little blurred, his tone seemed to be the annoying Qi Xiao in the past, but Tang Ling felt uncomfortable. same.

"Let Qinglan do it after eating."

"Ah."

Qi Xiao accepted Tang Ling's kindness, didn't say anything more, and went straight back to his room.

After Qi Xiao got up, Zong Sheng couldn't fall asleep anymore, and kept waiting in the room. Seeing Qi Xiao came back with something extra in his hand, he couldn't help asking: "Master, what is this?"

"Sugar pill, it says it can cure seasickness, do you want it?"

Zong Sheng shook his head, he is not seasick, Qi Xiao is the only one on this boat who gets seasick, obviously it was something prepared for Qi Xiao.

A kit, a bag of seasickness pills, who gave it goes without saying.

Zong Sheng frowned: "Master, do you want a drug test?"

While speaking, Qi Xiao had already taken one and put it in his mouth, Zong Sheng didn't even have time to stop it.

"No need, you will know it's poisonous after I die."

"Grandpa... do you trust them too much?"

The sugar pill is not too sweet, it has the sweetness of honey and some floral fragrance, and the mellowness of Liu Yeqing melts in the mouth, it has a special taste, Qi Xiao quite likes it.

"Do not worry.

My death does them no good at all, but instead flatters me, maybe I can protect them and save him a few more times. "

Qi Xiao smiled, "We will be able to reach Qihuai in seven or eight days, and Yuanjing is not far away..."
