Every time you cross, you are in a prison cell in Dali Temple
Chapter 43 Raw Rice, Cooked Rice
There is no Qiulu's body. What's even more strange is that I found another letter from Qiulu in the room. She asked me to come to see her, saying that she had something very important to tell me, and it was a big secret. "Miss Zhao said.
No wonder Ms. Zhao appeared on the street in the middle of the night. She saw Qiulu's letter, so she came to see Qiulu on purpose.Ms. Zhao also wanted to find out exactly how her father died, why Qiulu changed her mouth to testify against Prince Li, and why Qiulu pretended to be dead to play up the mystery.
Li Luo said, "Did you bring Qiulu's letter with you? The handwriting on it was really written by Qiulu?"
Ms. Zhao took out a letter and handed it to Li Luo, saying, "It's true. I knew it at a glance. Of course it was written by Qiulu. Qiulu didn't know how to write before, and I taught her to write. Of course I took a look." will recognize it."
The matter was really too weird, so Ms. Zhao had the courage to sneak out of the house alone in the middle of the night, preparing to go to the appointment.But unexpectedly, Li Luo would run into him on the road.
Li Luo glanced at the letter, it was exactly the same as the note by the lake that day, it should indeed be written by Qiu Lu.Qiulu left an address in the letter. The location is relatively remote, and he is almost at the city gate. I don't know what the purpose of the place is. Anyway, let Miss Zhao go to meet.
Li Luo shook his head, thinking that Ms. Zhao was a girl, she was too courageous, and said: "I'll go with you, if there is anything, I can take care of it."
"Are you going with me?" Miss Zhao looked at him uncertainly.
Li Luo nodded, pointed to the front and said, "Go this way."
According to the address, they walked through many streets all the way, and after walking for a long time, they saw a yard in front of them.
The courtyard walls are mottled, and the inside is dark. There is no padlock on the courtyard door. It looks like an empty courtyard, the kind where no one lives at all.
"It's here." Ms. Zhao said with certainty.
She couldn't wait, pushed open the courtyard door and hurried in, calling softly: "Autumn Deer? Where are you Qiulu? I'm coming!"
"Shh-"
Li Luo grabbed Miss Zhao and made a gesture to silence her.
Ms. Zhao didn't understand, so Li Luo looked a little serious, and said in a low voice, "It smells like blood."
Miss Zhao's heart froze, she didn't dare to scream anymore, she opened her eyes wide and looked around, as if she wanted to make sure if Li Luo was lying to her.
"it's here……"
Li Luo turned around and said this suddenly.
Ms. Zhao followed the direction he pointed, and turned to look at it. She couldn't help but screamed out.
"what!!!"
At the corner of the wall not far behind them, there was a black hole, and blood flowed slowly, converging towards their feet.
There was a man lying in the corner, sitting half leaning, looking at them with wide-open eyes.
It's autumn deer...
"Autumn...autumn deer!?"
Miss Zhao screamed, then quickly ran over, squatted down to shake the autumn deer, and said, "Autumn deer? Qiu deer?"
Li Luo walked over, he didn't bend down to check Qiulu's breath, after all, with such a large amount of bleeding, Qiulu might have died long ago and couldn't survive at all.
Miss Zhao shook Qiulu and said, "Autumn Deer? Qiulu? What's wrong with you?!"
Qiulu didn't die in the lake, but in this empty house.
Li Luo said, "She is dead."
"Impossible, impossible..." Ms. Zhao shook her head and said in a panic, "There is still hope! Her body is still hot, so there should be help. Let's save her quickly! How to stop her bleeding?"
"hot?"
Li Luo squinted his eyes immediately, without caring too much, grabbed Miss Zhao's arm, pulled her up from the ground, and said, "No, let's go."
Qiulu had just died not long ago, so she was killed at first glance, maybe Qiulu really knew some secret, so she was murdered to silence her.And the murderer was probably nearby, not leaving at all.
Li Luo observed just now, Qiulu's wound was particularly smooth, the murderer was a very experienced veteran, probably a professional killer or something, the real culprit was very likely to buy, kill, and kill.If the killer is still around, they are simply too dangerous.
"Let's go!" Li Luo pulled Miss Zhao and said, "Come with me."
"careful!"
As soon as Ms. Zhao got up, she immediately yelled, which made Li Luo's heart tremble in fright.
Just look at the silver light in the darkness, and the sharp blade chopped off the head.
Li Luo reacted quickly, and pushed Miss Zhao hard, the sharp knife fell from between them, and both of them narrowly escaped.
Li Luo staggered and fell to the ground, feeling his palms burning, must have been broken by the bluestone floor.
He didn't care about these things, and wanted to get up immediately, but his chest was suddenly oppressed, and the violent cough left him with no strength at all.
Li Luo thought in his heart, what a tragedy.
Ms. Zhao didn't look much better, and she also fell to the ground, screaming again in horror.
Li Luo immediately scolded: "Who are you? Who is the person who hired you to silence you?"
The man with the knife was wearing a black night suit with his face covered, and he looked very professional at first glance.Sure enough, as Li Luo guessed, it should be a killer, and he was lurking beside him just now.
The killer held the knife, and was attracted by Li Luo's attention.
Li Luo looked fearless in the face of danger, but secretly gave Ms. Zhao a wink, which meant to let Ms. Zhao take the opportunity to leave quietly.
Li Luo attracted the killer's attention and said, "If you don't answer, do you think I don't know?"
The murderer squinted his eyes, but still didn't speak, and rushed forward with his knife in hand.
Li Luo rubbed his chest and got up quickly, trying to avoid the killer who was approaching him, but he didn't know martial arts, so he felt that he might be in danger.I don't know if I can continue to travel after being killed, if not, isn't it the end of the game?That would be a big loss.
"Boom!"
Li Luo was thinking wildly, when he heard a loud noise, the killer staggered and almost fell to the ground.
Seeing that Miss Zhao, who had just screamed just now, had gotten up, she actually kicked the murderer hard.
Li Luo was a little surprised, and said incredulously, "You know martial arts?"
Taking advantage of the killer's unsteady figure, Ms. Zhao ran over and shouted, "Stop talking! Run!"
Miss Zhao did know martial arts, her grandfather was a great general, if the Zhao family didn't know martial arts, the general would be ashamed if they said it.Although Ms. Zhao is a girl, she also knows some martial arts, but in the final analysis, it is the kung fu of some three-legged cats.
Ms. Zhao didn't dare to fight head-on with the killer, so she pulled Li Luo into a run and said, "Run! Run!"
"Cough cough..."
Li Luo really wanted to run fast, but he really couldn't run. After two steps, he became dizzy and couldn't breathe. He staggered and fell to the ground again.
Miss Zhao almost fell down when she was dragged by him, and said, "What's wrong with you?"
Li Luo was panting, unable to speak at all, he waved to her and told her to run away.
"Ding--!"
With a crisp sound, seeing the killer blowing over, he raised the knife and slashed down.But at this critical moment, the killer's weapon was suddenly blocked.
Li Luo fell to the ground, and first saw a piece of white clothes, which was exceptionally eye-catching in the dark night, floating back and forth with the breeze.
Li Luo raised his head in surprise, someone stood in front of him, blocking the killer's attack.That person's back is very familiar, every time Li Luo is fascinated by him, it is Yingchuan King Xie Changying.
Xie Changying suddenly appeared, not only him, but also several of Xie Changying's guards.
Xie Changying cut the killer apart, and said flatly, "Catch them alive."
"Yes, my lord!" The guards agreed in unison.
The killer didn't expect that there would be support, so he didn't dare to love the fight and immediately turned around and ran away, flying away with light work.
The guards immediately chased after him, leaving only Li Luo, Xie Changying, and Miss Zhao panting.
Ms. Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that her legs were so weak that she couldn't stand still, and sat on the ground with a thud, unable to get up in fright.
Li Luo regained his energy, clapped his hands and got up from the ground, saying, "My lord! You are here to save the beauty!"
Xie Changying was still holding the long sword in his hand, and the silver light was shaking. When he heard Li Luo's words, the knuckles holding the long sword turned white. Just give Li Luo a sword.
Li Luo didn't feel Xie Changying's cold eyes at all, and said, "My lord, why are you here in the middle of the night?"
Xie Changying didn't answer, and didn't even look at Li Luo more.
In the time it takes to speak, the guards who went after the killer came back, knelt down and pleaded guilty: "My lord, the killer committed suicide..."
It seems that this killer is indeed a professional killer, because he was afraid of revealing the mission, so he simply killed himself.
When the guards chased after him, the killer was already dead and failed to catch him alive.
Xie Changying's complexion was not good, but she didn't say anything: "Get up, it's okay."
Li Luo glanced at Xie Changying, and then at his guards, he was concerned, and said, "My lord, you don't mean to send someone to watch and follow me?"
The guards stood up, but still lowered their heads, all without saying a word.But let Li Luo be sure, they were all sent by Xie Changying to follow Li Luo, otherwise it couldn't be such a coincidence, someone would come out to rescue Li Luo and Miss Zhao at the critical moment.
Xie Changying felt that Prince Li was very suspicious, and there was a change in the Li Guo Mission, so he asked people to watch Li Luo for twelve hours a day, and he couldn't relax for a moment.
Just now when Li Luo left Yingchuan Prince's Mansion, the guards reported back to Xie Changying that Prince Li did not go back to the Prince's Mansion, but met a woman and went out of the city mysteriously.
Xie Changying felt suspicious, so she let the guards continue to follow, and she also left the mansion to see what Prince Li was going to do.
Li Luo followed Miss Zhao, naturally looking for Qiulu.But Xie Changying couldn't help thinking that maybe Prince Li was going to see Li Luo, and Li Luo was hidden by him, and his whereabouts are still unknown.
Xie Changying followed and saw Li Luo and Miss Zhao being chased by the killer.
The guards did not answer Li Luo, and Xie Changying did not intend to answer either.But the reality is right in front of our eyes, even Ms. Zhao can see that these people are probably following and monitoring Li Luo, and I don't know why.
Ms. Zhao felt that the air was inexplicably tense, but the next moment...
Li Luo was not angry at all, not angry at all. Instead, he said to Xie Changying's guards with a smile on his face: "Thanks for your hard work, everyone, you have to work the night shift in the middle of the night. But please be sure, be sure." You must report my every move to the prince at any time, definitely!"
The guards were stunned by Li Luo's words, they couldn't help but looked at each other, they didn't know what Li Luo meant.
They thought that Li Luo might be angry, so they were talking ironically.But upon closer inspection, it didn't quite look like it, because Li Luo was really smiling happily.
Li Luo is not angry at all now, but is really happy to be watched.Because Li Luo was thinking, if the guards were watching him, then Xie Changying would definitely know what he said and did every moment.In this way, Xie Changying should be able to discover the gap between himself and Prince Li, and he will definitely find out soon that he is not the real Prince Li at all.
When Li Luo thought about it this way, the more he thought about it, the happier he became. This is a good opportunity to prove his "innocence", absolutely not to be missed.
Even Xie Changying was confused by Li Luo, and said coldly, "What kind of tricks are you trying to play?"
"I didn't." Li Luo innocently blinked at Xie Changying.
When Xie Changying met his gaze and smile, her heart trembled, and she immediately turned her head away, not daring to take a second look for no reason.
Li Luo didn't bother Xie Changying anymore, after all, the long sword in the prince's hand hadn't been retracted into the scabbard yet, the sword had no eyes, Li Luo was afraid of being accidentally injured.
Li Luo hurriedly ran to a guard, that guard should be the chief guard, and the other guards looked up to him.
Li Luo smiled and said, "My little brother, what's your name? Are you in charge of them? You look so good-looking!"
The guard originally wanted to report his name, after all, the other party was also the Crown Prince of Li Guo, so he couldn't be negligent on the surface.But before the guard could speak, he choked up after hearing the second half of Li Luo's words.
The guard was not very old, he looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, he probably had too little experience, and it was the first time he was molested in such an open manner.
Hearing his words, Xie Changying thought of Li Luo for no reason.Li Luo is like this, he likes to get close to good-looking people, no matter men or women, and then admire them with drooling eyes.
The guard was stunned for a long time before saying: "If you go back to Prince Li, my name is Xiao Qi."
"Xiaoqi?" Li Luo blinked and said, "Is this the name?"
Xiaoqi nodded and said, "Subordinates don't have names."
Xie Changying's bodyguards are generally orphans, many of them don't even know their surnames, and most of them are children from the war at the border, whose families can't support them, so they can only cruelly abandon them.
They were brought back without names. If they wanted to, they would be named after Xie Changying, and there would be a ranking.
The guard is not very old, but he has been in the mansion for a long time. The seventh place is called Xie Xiaoqi. He has already become the chief guard, and his martial arts are not weak.
"Xiaoqi sounds nice too!" Li Luo nodded and said, "But if you read it too fast, you will easily become petty, which is not good. So why don't I call you Qiqi! How do you feel?"
Xie Xiaoqi was taken aback again, no one had ever given him a nickname, this was the first time, and he was not familiar with Prince Li, Prince Li seemed very close to him...
Xie Xiaoqi was not used to it, but his status was not high, and he did not have the right to refute Prince Li, so he was afraid of causing any trouble to his master, so he cupped his hands and said: "If Prince Li is happy, he can ask his subordinates to do anything."
"I'm happy! Of course I'm happy." Li Luo smiled and said, "Of course I'm happy to be able to chat with such a good-looking person like you."
Li Luo flirted with the cutie, feeling extremely sour.Look at Xie Xiaoqi, not only is she cute and supple, she is also obedient and obedient, but she is not like the prince who can make people mad.
Li Luo thought to himself, now that he is flirting with other beauties in front of the prince, when the prince finds out that he is Li Luo, he will not be mad at him to death!That sour feeling is absolutely amazing!
Xie Changying frowned, she could no longer listen to Li Luo's greasy words, so she turned around and left.
As soon as the guards saw the master leaving, they hurriedly followed behind, and Xie Xiaoqi also hurriedly followed.
Li Luo chased after Xie Xiaoqi, and said, "Qiqi, aren't you going to follow me? You should follow me. If you walk so fast, you won't be able to see me."
Xie Xiaoqi didn't know what to say.
Li Luo said again: "Qiqi, do you want to spy on me at twelve hours a day?"
Xie Xiaoqi almost blurted out, not peeping.
But Li Luo didn't give him a chance to speak, and said again: "Qiqi, then when I go to the toilet, do you also watch? How embarrassing."
Xie Xiaoqi: "..." I am very embarrassed now.
Li Luo said again: "Then when I take a shower, should I tell you in advance?"
Xie Xiaoqi: "..."
Li Luo said, "Qiqi, why don't you like to talk? How about I tell you a joke? You can also make quick turns."
"I've heard of a brain teaser before, it goes like this..."
"One day the teacher asked the students, do you know why people can't fall twice in the same gutter?"
"What do you think the students will answer?"
"The student said that the gutter must be too deep, and he would die if he fell down once!"
"Ha ha ha ha--"
Xie Xiaoqi: "..."
After Li Luo finished speaking, he couldn't hold back his laughter, but Xie Xiaoqi who was next to him felt that the story was too cold, and his eyelids twitched when he heard it, he really couldn't laugh.
Li Luo smiled for a long time and asked, "Is what I said boring?"
"Interesting." Xie Xiaoqi said out of conscience.
Li Luo was happy when he heard it, and said, "That's great, let me tell you another one..."
The way back was a bit long, but Li Luo didn't stop talking, coughing and telling cold jokes all the way.
Xie Xiaoqi really couldn't listen anymore, and said: "Prince Li, you have a serious cough, otherwise you should stop talking and recharge your batteries."
"Qiqi, if you care about me so much, someone will easily get jealous in the future." Li Luo said with a smile.
Xie Xiaoqi didn't know what to say, and felt that it would be better if she kept her mouth shut.
They walked all the way back, first passing by Prince Li's mansion, and then arriving at Xie Changying's Yingchuan Palace.
When Li Luo arrived at the door of the house, he stood still and said, "Look, Qiqi, this is our home, and I will have someone prepare a big and comfortable room for you. Don't worry, you can live here with peace of mind. "
Xie Xiaoqi had a headache for a while, and said: "Prince Li is worrying too much, his subordinates don't need a room."
"How about that, you live next to me, you can spy on me anytime, it's very convenient." Li Luo said generously.
Li Luo was very happy all the way. After all, the case finally made some progress. As for Miss Zhao and Taifu Zhao, Li Luo didn't need to worry about it. Xie Changying, who was in charge of the case, should continue to take over, so Li Luo smiled all the way.
Xie Changying looked at Li Luo's smile and found it very dazzling. He didn't know what was going on in his heart, but he just felt that something was wrong with him.
Xie Changying kept a cold face all the way, but now the air pressure was extremely low.
Xie Changying said indifferently: "Prince Li probably doesn't know yet, the Li Guo Mission will enter the capital in two days, and the Emperor has ordered someone to prepare a banquet to welcome the Li Guo Mission. On the day of the banquet, Prince Li will definitely enter the capital. palace."
Xie Changying didn't finish his sentence, but when Li Luo heard it, he couldn't laugh anymore, and wanted to enter the palace again?
The emperor made it clear that he has coveted Prince Li for a long time, now that Li Luo is replacing Prince Li, it is really a big trouble.As soon as Li Luo heard about entering the palace, he had a severe headache, and felt that Xie Changying brought up this matter on purpose, to make him feel uncomfortable!
Xie Changying saw that Li Luo finally couldn't smile anymore with a frowning face, inexplicably he felt better, turned around and left the Prince's Mansion, and walked towards his own mansion.Li Luo looked at Xie Changying's back with a thoughtful look on his face, then turned to look at Xie Xiaoqi who was left behind, and said, "Qiqi, do you think your master is jealous?"
Xie Xiaoqi wisely did not speak.
Li Luo went back to the mansion, and indeed someone arranged a room for Xie Xiaoqi, right next to him, the two rooms were next to each other.
The servant heard that this was from Yingchuan Prince's Mansion, and immediately disapproved of Li Luo's actions, feeling that Xie Changying's people were uneasy and kind, but the crown prince had already ordered them, so everyone had to obey.
After Li Luo ordered the room, he returned to his own room. Seeing that it was dawn, he didn't rush to sleep, and asked someone to prepare breakfast. Then he took a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and sat down to write something. .
Li Luo didn't want to write a letter, his handwriting was actually a bit worrying, after all, he was not an orthodox ancient person, but he had practiced brush calligraphy before, so he could still write.
While writing, Li Luo read: "First, the person I like the most...of course is Yingying."
"Second, the color I like...white. My prince also looks good in red, and black is also good. I haven't worn blue."
"Third, my favorite food, meat! I don't like vegetables."
"Fourth, my favorite fruit, grapes!"
Li Luo listed all his hobbies in detail, and wrote a large piece of eloquence, covering everything in detail.
After finishing writing, Li Luo blew on the rice paper to make sure the handwriting was dry.It just so happened that the servant had also prepared breakfast and was bringing it in for Li Luo.
Li Luo said: "Have you prepared breakfast for Qi Qi next door?"
The boy said: "It's ready, it's already been sent over."
"That's good." Li Luo nodded in satisfaction, thinking that being a prince is not bad, it is very convenient to have so many people at his disposal.
The boy withdrew, Li Luo simply took his breakfast and went to the next door.Xie Xiaoqi was in the room, when he saw Li Luolai, his whole body became stiff, he looked like he was facing an enemy.
Li Luo sat down with breakfast, handed the rice paper to Xie Xiaoqi, and said: "Qiqi is for you, this is my preference and daily habit, it is all true, there is not a single lie, just take a look, if When the lord asks later, remember to tell the lord, don't forget it."
Xie Xiaoqi took it suspiciously and took a look, suddenly a little dazed, Li Luo wrote 120 or [-] articles eloquently, what do you like about lazy beds, you will get dizzy after smelling too many flowers, you don’t like dragon fruit, because of the small black seeds of dragon fruit There are too many children.
Xie Xiaoqi looked confused, what is a dragon fruit?Simply unheard of.
In particular, this is the information that Prince Li sent on his own initiative, so Xie Xiaoqi remained hesitant, thinking that Prince Li's city is very deep, and it is really hard to guess.
Xie Xiaoqi said: "This subordinate will tell the prince truthfully."
"That's good." Li Luo nodded.
The emperor wanted to welcome the Li Guo Mission, and indeed he was planning to hold a reception banquet.Li Luo also heard about this matter soon, a eunuch came from the palace and told Li Luo that he would enter the palace to attend a banquet at that time.
People from Li Kingdom came to Daxie, Li Luo is now Crown Prince Li, or a hostage sent by Li Kingdom to Daxie, he had to attend the banquet, even if he wanted to shirk, he couldn't find a reason.
Anyway, pretending to be sick is definitely not acceptable, because Prince Li has been sick all year round, if one day he suddenly recovers, I am afraid that others will find it rare.
Li Luo had no choice but to agree to enter the palace.Anyway, there were so many people that day, so you must not be left alone, and the emperor can't do anything to you in full view, after all, the emperor also wants face.
Li Luo is not a person who likes to be entangled, after thinking about it, he should eat and drink.More important than the emperor, of course, is Taifu Zhao's case.
Although they figured out why Taifu Zhao asked the young prince to meet, in the final analysis, they still didn't find out who killed Taifu Zhao.
Li Luo felt that it should be the person who had a dispute with Mr. Zhao.But who is that person, Qiulu has never seen it, only heard the voice.Now that Qiulu has been killed and silenced, no one knows who the other party is.
"wrong……"
Li Luo suddenly smiled and said, "'I' should know his identity."
Li Luo almost forgot that he is now Prince Li.Prince Li once said that he saw the murderer commit the crime.And the murderer also found Qiulu to frame Prince Li, which shows that Prince Li may really know who the murderer is.
"It seems that after Qiulu is silenced, I will be in danger." Li Luo was very happy when he thought of this, because it meant that the murderer would probably come to his door automatically, and as long as he waited, he might be able to find the murderer.
The envoys of the Li State entered the capital on time, and the envoys of the Napoli State outside the city gate also joined them.For the past few days, Xie Changying had been secretly observing those people, and found that there was no big change in those people pretending to be merchants, but they were flying pigeons to pass letters every day, and they should be secretly contacting some people in Daxie territory.
Later, those people had contact with several people, but the guards reported that those people who had contact were indeed merchants, and they were all serious businessmen, but there were people in all kinds of business.
One thing worth noting is that among those merchants, two of them knew Mr. Huang from Yu Qiaoshan.
Master Huang has been secretly trading iron ore with Li Guo, and has made a lot of contributions to Li Guo's weapons manufacturing.If those merchants knew Mr. Huang, things would not be so simple.
The reception banquet was held as scheduled, Li Luo had no choice but to enter the palace, it was a bit late, almost being the last one to enter the palace.
Li Luo thought of an excuse, so he said that he had a relapse of asthma, so he was delayed for a while. Anyway, he came too, and he was not late, so no one could catch him.
When the banquet started, Xie Xiaoqi, who had been by Li Luo's side all this time, left quietly, went to meet Xie Changying, and reported Li Luo's every move in the past two days to Xie Changying.
Xie Changying frowned after hearing this, and Xie Xiaoqi said, "Prince Li hasn't changed anything recently, and his subordinates really can't see through it. And this..."
Xie Xiaoqi handed the rice paper written by Li Luo to Xie Changying. Xie Changying opened it and looked with surprise and annoyance on his face, but soon, Xie Changying became very confused.
Xie Changying knew Li Luo well, and they had been dating for a while. Although Li Luo was a carefree person, he actually had many small habits, such as liking to eat meat, but he didn't like meat, didn't like to eat vegetables, and didn't like to eat vegetables. Ye Zi only likes to eat vegetable stems, saying that the leaves are soft and have a bad taste.
And even when Li Luo eats vegetables, he likes to choose beautiful ones.He doesn't like vegetables, so he doesn't like ugly vegetables even more, and the same goes for fruits.
Xie Changying looked at the various little habits written on the rice paper, and suddenly became confused.These are all Li Luo's habits, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it, there is nothing wrong with it.
Could it be that Prince Li is imitating Li Luo again, trying to confuse himself with these details?Xie Changying frowned.
But if this is the case, then Prince Li knows too much detail. Even if he wants to imitate Li Luo, how can he know such details?Even if Li Luo was captured and locked up by Prince Li, Li Luo was so smart that he would not tell Prince Li so many details.
"What the hell is going on?" Xie Changying couldn't figure it out.
Prince Li has changed. Ever since he left the cell in Dali Temple, Prince Li seems to have changed.Although he was still sick and weak, he suddenly became fond of talking, laughing and teasing people, always saying some irrelevant words, or telling some cold jokes that made people really helpless.
These are exactly the same as Li Luo, as if...he is really Li Luo.
But how could Prince Li be Li Luo?They clearly look similar, but they are not the same person at all?
Isn't this even more absurd?
Xie Changying held the rice paper in a daze for a long time, Xie Xiaoqi did not dare to disturb the prince, and stood silently by the side without making a sound.
Xie Changying suddenly came back to his senses, and said, "Go and be with him, and stay with him tonight."
"Yes, this subordinate knows." Xie Xiaoqi took the order.
Xie Xiaoqi quickly left and returned to Li Luo's side.
Li Luo was sitting on his seat, stuffing prawn balls into his mouth, when he saw Xie Xiaoqi coming back, he said, "You are back, let me tell you a joke. Your companion is not as easy to get along with as you are." , I told him jokes, he didn't even move his eyelids, could it be that my jokes weren't funny?"
Xie Xiaoqi's companion is naturally the guard who watched Li Luo together.Just now when Xie Xiaoqi went to report back to Xie Changying, other people followed Li Luo closely.
Xie Xiaoqi had a headache for a while and didn't speak, feeling that if she resisted passively, maybe Li Luo would be able to let her go.
Li Luo stuffed another shrimp ball into his mouth, then took a sip of water to moisten his throat, and said, "Qiqi, have you handed over what I wrote to the lord? Did the lord look like he saw a ghost?"
Xie Xiaoqi was taken aback, and almost couldn't help asking how you knew.
From Xie Xiaoqi's point of view, the prince just now looked like he saw a ghost.Because he has been with the prince so long, he has never seen the prince "lost his soul".
Li Luo looked at Xie Xiaoqi's expression, nodded with great satisfaction, and said, "It's good that the lord responds, I know that my lord is still very smart, and in a short while, maybe we can communicate normally."
Li Luo wanted to boil the frog in warm water, after all, one cannot eat hot tofu in a hurry.Let Xie Changying discover that he is unusual first, whet Xie Changying's appetite, and make him scratch his head with curiosity, so that he can have the initiative.
Li Luo nodded confidently, and continued to destroy a table of delicacies.
While Li Luo was eating, he found that someone was staring at him, his eyes were very hot.
He couldn't eat anymore, he thought he might be the emperor again?It's too difficult to deal with it even when you're old.
Li Luo looked back quietly, but what he saw was not the eyes of the emperor, but a girl who was secretly looking at him.
Li Luoxin asked, could it be that Prince Li is so beautiful that a girl fell in love with him at first sight?
Li Luo took a closer look and realized that he had guessed wrong.Because that girl seems to be "my" younger sister, that is, the concubine princess sent by the mission, the youngest princess of the Li country.
The little princess looks too young, maybe around 15 years old?In modern times, I'm still a middle school student, the age when proper parents and teachers have warned me not to fall in love early.In ancient times, 15-year-old girls would be sent to marry each other.
Li Luo sighed for a while, the little girl looks cute, although she may not be very beautiful, but she has not yet grown up, marrying the emperor to be a concubine, isn't this a waste of money?
Li Luo and the little princess met eyes, the little princess hesitated for a moment, but stood up and walked towards Li Luo.
"Brother Prince..." The little princess whispered to Li Luo, "Brother Prince, come with me, I have something to discuss with you."
The little princess was very disturbed, so she left first after saying that, and walked to the small garden where there was no one next to the banquet.
Li Luo thought for a while, then stood up and followed, not knowing what the little girl was up to.
Xie Xiaoqi took a look, and said to the guard next to him: "Go and tell the prince, Prince Li has left, I will follow now."
"Okay." The guard nodded.
Li Luo followed, and the little princess stood by the pond in the garden, looking very anxious, her hands tightly clasped together.
Li Luo asked, "What do you want from me?"
Before the little princess could speak, her eyes were already red, she looked really wronged, and said, "Brother Prince, please save me! I don't want to marry the second prince!"
"Second prince?" Li Luo was a little surprised when he heard that, it turned out that the little princess was not going to marry the emperor, but the emperor's son, Xie Di.
It is true that Xie Di is much younger than the emperor, but he may not be much better. Anyway, in Li Luo's eyes, he is absolutely inferior to Xie Tang.
The little princess seemed to have heard a lot of rumors about Xie Di, and said: "The second prince is very playful, and often beats and scolds the palace servants who serve him. I don't want to marry such a person."
Li Luo was in a dilemma, he was a hostage prince, even if he spoke, no one would listen to him.
"I...I don't like that second prince." The little princess said aggrievedly: "Even if you have to marry someone from Xie Guo, can't... can't it be..."
When the little princess said this, her eyes were still red, but she became a little shy, and said, "Can't it be King Yingchuan? I think he's the right age."
"Xie Changying?" Li Luo couldn't hold back, his eyes widened.
The little princess nodded shyly, and said: "Yes, it is King Yingchuan. Brother Prince, have you seen him? I have seen him from a distance. He looks... very handsome. Besides, he is also the prince of Xie Kingdom, I think that if I marry him, it should be okay...Brother Prince, can you go and talk to the prince?"
Li Luo's eyelids twitched several times, and he couldn't help but say, "Your eyesight is quite good. But..."
Li Luo felt so sad, how could he help the little princess marry Xie Changying, unless he was crazy!
Originally, Li Luo was already burdened by being green, but now he has to help his love rival?
Li Luo coughed, and said with a serious face: "King Yingchuan and I... are not very familiar. I will go and tell him, and he will definitely not agree."
"Then what should I do?" The little princess was in a hurry, and said: "If it is delayed any longer, this is a lifelong event for my younger sister. My younger sister is going to marry the second prince, and my younger sister will definitely not want it."
Li Luo thought silently in his heart, it's not that I'm selfish, I also care about the important things in my life, the prince has already been booked by me, and I must never give it up to others.
"Otherwise..." The little princess gritted her teeth, and lowered her voice, "If not, the prince brother will help me to offer a few glasses of wine to the prince, and try to get him drunk. Once the rice is cooked, it’s done!”
Li Luo got a headache when he heard it.
No wonder Ms. Zhao appeared on the street in the middle of the night. She saw Qiulu's letter, so she came to see Qiulu on purpose.Ms. Zhao also wanted to find out exactly how her father died, why Qiulu changed her mouth to testify against Prince Li, and why Qiulu pretended to be dead to play up the mystery.
Li Luo said, "Did you bring Qiulu's letter with you? The handwriting on it was really written by Qiulu?"
Ms. Zhao took out a letter and handed it to Li Luo, saying, "It's true. I knew it at a glance. Of course it was written by Qiulu. Qiulu didn't know how to write before, and I taught her to write. Of course I took a look." will recognize it."
The matter was really too weird, so Ms. Zhao had the courage to sneak out of the house alone in the middle of the night, preparing to go to the appointment.But unexpectedly, Li Luo would run into him on the road.
Li Luo glanced at the letter, it was exactly the same as the note by the lake that day, it should indeed be written by Qiu Lu.Qiulu left an address in the letter. The location is relatively remote, and he is almost at the city gate. I don't know what the purpose of the place is. Anyway, let Miss Zhao go to meet.
Li Luo shook his head, thinking that Ms. Zhao was a girl, she was too courageous, and said: "I'll go with you, if there is anything, I can take care of it."
"Are you going with me?" Miss Zhao looked at him uncertainly.
Li Luo nodded, pointed to the front and said, "Go this way."
According to the address, they walked through many streets all the way, and after walking for a long time, they saw a yard in front of them.
The courtyard walls are mottled, and the inside is dark. There is no padlock on the courtyard door. It looks like an empty courtyard, the kind where no one lives at all.
"It's here." Ms. Zhao said with certainty.
She couldn't wait, pushed open the courtyard door and hurried in, calling softly: "Autumn Deer? Where are you Qiulu? I'm coming!"
"Shh-"
Li Luo grabbed Miss Zhao and made a gesture to silence her.
Ms. Zhao didn't understand, so Li Luo looked a little serious, and said in a low voice, "It smells like blood."
Miss Zhao's heart froze, she didn't dare to scream anymore, she opened her eyes wide and looked around, as if she wanted to make sure if Li Luo was lying to her.
"it's here……"
Li Luo turned around and said this suddenly.
Ms. Zhao followed the direction he pointed, and turned to look at it. She couldn't help but screamed out.
"what!!!"
At the corner of the wall not far behind them, there was a black hole, and blood flowed slowly, converging towards their feet.
There was a man lying in the corner, sitting half leaning, looking at them with wide-open eyes.
It's autumn deer...
"Autumn...autumn deer!?"
Miss Zhao screamed, then quickly ran over, squatted down to shake the autumn deer, and said, "Autumn deer? Qiu deer?"
Li Luo walked over, he didn't bend down to check Qiulu's breath, after all, with such a large amount of bleeding, Qiulu might have died long ago and couldn't survive at all.
Miss Zhao shook Qiulu and said, "Autumn Deer? Qiulu? What's wrong with you?!"
Qiulu didn't die in the lake, but in this empty house.
Li Luo said, "She is dead."
"Impossible, impossible..." Ms. Zhao shook her head and said in a panic, "There is still hope! Her body is still hot, so there should be help. Let's save her quickly! How to stop her bleeding?"
"hot?"
Li Luo squinted his eyes immediately, without caring too much, grabbed Miss Zhao's arm, pulled her up from the ground, and said, "No, let's go."
Qiulu had just died not long ago, so she was killed at first glance, maybe Qiulu really knew some secret, so she was murdered to silence her.And the murderer was probably nearby, not leaving at all.
Li Luo observed just now, Qiulu's wound was particularly smooth, the murderer was a very experienced veteran, probably a professional killer or something, the real culprit was very likely to buy, kill, and kill.If the killer is still around, they are simply too dangerous.
"Let's go!" Li Luo pulled Miss Zhao and said, "Come with me."
"careful!"
As soon as Ms. Zhao got up, she immediately yelled, which made Li Luo's heart tremble in fright.
Just look at the silver light in the darkness, and the sharp blade chopped off the head.
Li Luo reacted quickly, and pushed Miss Zhao hard, the sharp knife fell from between them, and both of them narrowly escaped.
Li Luo staggered and fell to the ground, feeling his palms burning, must have been broken by the bluestone floor.
He didn't care about these things, and wanted to get up immediately, but his chest was suddenly oppressed, and the violent cough left him with no strength at all.
Li Luo thought in his heart, what a tragedy.
Ms. Zhao didn't look much better, and she also fell to the ground, screaming again in horror.
Li Luo immediately scolded: "Who are you? Who is the person who hired you to silence you?"
The man with the knife was wearing a black night suit with his face covered, and he looked very professional at first glance.Sure enough, as Li Luo guessed, it should be a killer, and he was lurking beside him just now.
The killer held the knife, and was attracted by Li Luo's attention.
Li Luo looked fearless in the face of danger, but secretly gave Ms. Zhao a wink, which meant to let Ms. Zhao take the opportunity to leave quietly.
Li Luo attracted the killer's attention and said, "If you don't answer, do you think I don't know?"
The murderer squinted his eyes, but still didn't speak, and rushed forward with his knife in hand.
Li Luo rubbed his chest and got up quickly, trying to avoid the killer who was approaching him, but he didn't know martial arts, so he felt that he might be in danger.I don't know if I can continue to travel after being killed, if not, isn't it the end of the game?That would be a big loss.
"Boom!"
Li Luo was thinking wildly, when he heard a loud noise, the killer staggered and almost fell to the ground.
Seeing that Miss Zhao, who had just screamed just now, had gotten up, she actually kicked the murderer hard.
Li Luo was a little surprised, and said incredulously, "You know martial arts?"
Taking advantage of the killer's unsteady figure, Ms. Zhao ran over and shouted, "Stop talking! Run!"
Miss Zhao did know martial arts, her grandfather was a great general, if the Zhao family didn't know martial arts, the general would be ashamed if they said it.Although Ms. Zhao is a girl, she also knows some martial arts, but in the final analysis, it is the kung fu of some three-legged cats.
Ms. Zhao didn't dare to fight head-on with the killer, so she pulled Li Luo into a run and said, "Run! Run!"
"Cough cough..."
Li Luo really wanted to run fast, but he really couldn't run. After two steps, he became dizzy and couldn't breathe. He staggered and fell to the ground again.
Miss Zhao almost fell down when she was dragged by him, and said, "What's wrong with you?"
Li Luo was panting, unable to speak at all, he waved to her and told her to run away.
"Ding--!"
With a crisp sound, seeing the killer blowing over, he raised the knife and slashed down.But at this critical moment, the killer's weapon was suddenly blocked.
Li Luo fell to the ground, and first saw a piece of white clothes, which was exceptionally eye-catching in the dark night, floating back and forth with the breeze.
Li Luo raised his head in surprise, someone stood in front of him, blocking the killer's attack.That person's back is very familiar, every time Li Luo is fascinated by him, it is Yingchuan King Xie Changying.
Xie Changying suddenly appeared, not only him, but also several of Xie Changying's guards.
Xie Changying cut the killer apart, and said flatly, "Catch them alive."
"Yes, my lord!" The guards agreed in unison.
The killer didn't expect that there would be support, so he didn't dare to love the fight and immediately turned around and ran away, flying away with light work.
The guards immediately chased after him, leaving only Li Luo, Xie Changying, and Miss Zhao panting.
Ms. Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that her legs were so weak that she couldn't stand still, and sat on the ground with a thud, unable to get up in fright.
Li Luo regained his energy, clapped his hands and got up from the ground, saying, "My lord! You are here to save the beauty!"
Xie Changying was still holding the long sword in his hand, and the silver light was shaking. When he heard Li Luo's words, the knuckles holding the long sword turned white. Just give Li Luo a sword.
Li Luo didn't feel Xie Changying's cold eyes at all, and said, "My lord, why are you here in the middle of the night?"
Xie Changying didn't answer, and didn't even look at Li Luo more.
In the time it takes to speak, the guards who went after the killer came back, knelt down and pleaded guilty: "My lord, the killer committed suicide..."
It seems that this killer is indeed a professional killer, because he was afraid of revealing the mission, so he simply killed himself.
When the guards chased after him, the killer was already dead and failed to catch him alive.
Xie Changying's complexion was not good, but she didn't say anything: "Get up, it's okay."
Li Luo glanced at Xie Changying, and then at his guards, he was concerned, and said, "My lord, you don't mean to send someone to watch and follow me?"
The guards stood up, but still lowered their heads, all without saying a word.But let Li Luo be sure, they were all sent by Xie Changying to follow Li Luo, otherwise it couldn't be such a coincidence, someone would come out to rescue Li Luo and Miss Zhao at the critical moment.
Xie Changying felt that Prince Li was very suspicious, and there was a change in the Li Guo Mission, so he asked people to watch Li Luo for twelve hours a day, and he couldn't relax for a moment.
Just now when Li Luo left Yingchuan Prince's Mansion, the guards reported back to Xie Changying that Prince Li did not go back to the Prince's Mansion, but met a woman and went out of the city mysteriously.
Xie Changying felt suspicious, so she let the guards continue to follow, and she also left the mansion to see what Prince Li was going to do.
Li Luo followed Miss Zhao, naturally looking for Qiulu.But Xie Changying couldn't help thinking that maybe Prince Li was going to see Li Luo, and Li Luo was hidden by him, and his whereabouts are still unknown.
Xie Changying followed and saw Li Luo and Miss Zhao being chased by the killer.
The guards did not answer Li Luo, and Xie Changying did not intend to answer either.But the reality is right in front of our eyes, even Ms. Zhao can see that these people are probably following and monitoring Li Luo, and I don't know why.
Ms. Zhao felt that the air was inexplicably tense, but the next moment...
Li Luo was not angry at all, not angry at all. Instead, he said to Xie Changying's guards with a smile on his face: "Thanks for your hard work, everyone, you have to work the night shift in the middle of the night. But please be sure, be sure." You must report my every move to the prince at any time, definitely!"
The guards were stunned by Li Luo's words, they couldn't help but looked at each other, they didn't know what Li Luo meant.
They thought that Li Luo might be angry, so they were talking ironically.But upon closer inspection, it didn't quite look like it, because Li Luo was really smiling happily.
Li Luo is not angry at all now, but is really happy to be watched.Because Li Luo was thinking, if the guards were watching him, then Xie Changying would definitely know what he said and did every moment.In this way, Xie Changying should be able to discover the gap between himself and Prince Li, and he will definitely find out soon that he is not the real Prince Li at all.
When Li Luo thought about it this way, the more he thought about it, the happier he became. This is a good opportunity to prove his "innocence", absolutely not to be missed.
Even Xie Changying was confused by Li Luo, and said coldly, "What kind of tricks are you trying to play?"
"I didn't." Li Luo innocently blinked at Xie Changying.
When Xie Changying met his gaze and smile, her heart trembled, and she immediately turned her head away, not daring to take a second look for no reason.
Li Luo didn't bother Xie Changying anymore, after all, the long sword in the prince's hand hadn't been retracted into the scabbard yet, the sword had no eyes, Li Luo was afraid of being accidentally injured.
Li Luo hurriedly ran to a guard, that guard should be the chief guard, and the other guards looked up to him.
Li Luo smiled and said, "My little brother, what's your name? Are you in charge of them? You look so good-looking!"
The guard originally wanted to report his name, after all, the other party was also the Crown Prince of Li Guo, so he couldn't be negligent on the surface.But before the guard could speak, he choked up after hearing the second half of Li Luo's words.
The guard was not very old, he looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, he probably had too little experience, and it was the first time he was molested in such an open manner.
Hearing his words, Xie Changying thought of Li Luo for no reason.Li Luo is like this, he likes to get close to good-looking people, no matter men or women, and then admire them with drooling eyes.
The guard was stunned for a long time before saying: "If you go back to Prince Li, my name is Xiao Qi."
"Xiaoqi?" Li Luo blinked and said, "Is this the name?"
Xiaoqi nodded and said, "Subordinates don't have names."
Xie Changying's bodyguards are generally orphans, many of them don't even know their surnames, and most of them are children from the war at the border, whose families can't support them, so they can only cruelly abandon them.
They were brought back without names. If they wanted to, they would be named after Xie Changying, and there would be a ranking.
The guard is not very old, but he has been in the mansion for a long time. The seventh place is called Xie Xiaoqi. He has already become the chief guard, and his martial arts are not weak.
"Xiaoqi sounds nice too!" Li Luo nodded and said, "But if you read it too fast, you will easily become petty, which is not good. So why don't I call you Qiqi! How do you feel?"
Xie Xiaoqi was taken aback again, no one had ever given him a nickname, this was the first time, and he was not familiar with Prince Li, Prince Li seemed very close to him...
Xie Xiaoqi was not used to it, but his status was not high, and he did not have the right to refute Prince Li, so he was afraid of causing any trouble to his master, so he cupped his hands and said: "If Prince Li is happy, he can ask his subordinates to do anything."
"I'm happy! Of course I'm happy." Li Luo smiled and said, "Of course I'm happy to be able to chat with such a good-looking person like you."
Li Luo flirted with the cutie, feeling extremely sour.Look at Xie Xiaoqi, not only is she cute and supple, she is also obedient and obedient, but she is not like the prince who can make people mad.
Li Luo thought to himself, now that he is flirting with other beauties in front of the prince, when the prince finds out that he is Li Luo, he will not be mad at him to death!That sour feeling is absolutely amazing!
Xie Changying frowned, she could no longer listen to Li Luo's greasy words, so she turned around and left.
As soon as the guards saw the master leaving, they hurriedly followed behind, and Xie Xiaoqi also hurriedly followed.
Li Luo chased after Xie Xiaoqi, and said, "Qiqi, aren't you going to follow me? You should follow me. If you walk so fast, you won't be able to see me."
Xie Xiaoqi didn't know what to say.
Li Luo said again: "Qiqi, do you want to spy on me at twelve hours a day?"
Xie Xiaoqi almost blurted out, not peeping.
But Li Luo didn't give him a chance to speak, and said again: "Qiqi, then when I go to the toilet, do you also watch? How embarrassing."
Xie Xiaoqi: "..." I am very embarrassed now.
Li Luo said again: "Then when I take a shower, should I tell you in advance?"
Xie Xiaoqi: "..."
Li Luo said, "Qiqi, why don't you like to talk? How about I tell you a joke? You can also make quick turns."
"I've heard of a brain teaser before, it goes like this..."
"One day the teacher asked the students, do you know why people can't fall twice in the same gutter?"
"What do you think the students will answer?"
"The student said that the gutter must be too deep, and he would die if he fell down once!"
"Ha ha ha ha--"
Xie Xiaoqi: "..."
After Li Luo finished speaking, he couldn't hold back his laughter, but Xie Xiaoqi who was next to him felt that the story was too cold, and his eyelids twitched when he heard it, he really couldn't laugh.
Li Luo smiled for a long time and asked, "Is what I said boring?"
"Interesting." Xie Xiaoqi said out of conscience.
Li Luo was happy when he heard it, and said, "That's great, let me tell you another one..."
The way back was a bit long, but Li Luo didn't stop talking, coughing and telling cold jokes all the way.
Xie Xiaoqi really couldn't listen anymore, and said: "Prince Li, you have a serious cough, otherwise you should stop talking and recharge your batteries."
"Qiqi, if you care about me so much, someone will easily get jealous in the future." Li Luo said with a smile.
Xie Xiaoqi didn't know what to say, and felt that it would be better if she kept her mouth shut.
They walked all the way back, first passing by Prince Li's mansion, and then arriving at Xie Changying's Yingchuan Palace.
When Li Luo arrived at the door of the house, he stood still and said, "Look, Qiqi, this is our home, and I will have someone prepare a big and comfortable room for you. Don't worry, you can live here with peace of mind. "
Xie Xiaoqi had a headache for a while, and said: "Prince Li is worrying too much, his subordinates don't need a room."
"How about that, you live next to me, you can spy on me anytime, it's very convenient." Li Luo said generously.
Li Luo was very happy all the way. After all, the case finally made some progress. As for Miss Zhao and Taifu Zhao, Li Luo didn't need to worry about it. Xie Changying, who was in charge of the case, should continue to take over, so Li Luo smiled all the way.
Xie Changying looked at Li Luo's smile and found it very dazzling. He didn't know what was going on in his heart, but he just felt that something was wrong with him.
Xie Changying kept a cold face all the way, but now the air pressure was extremely low.
Xie Changying said indifferently: "Prince Li probably doesn't know yet, the Li Guo Mission will enter the capital in two days, and the Emperor has ordered someone to prepare a banquet to welcome the Li Guo Mission. On the day of the banquet, Prince Li will definitely enter the capital. palace."
Xie Changying didn't finish his sentence, but when Li Luo heard it, he couldn't laugh anymore, and wanted to enter the palace again?
The emperor made it clear that he has coveted Prince Li for a long time, now that Li Luo is replacing Prince Li, it is really a big trouble.As soon as Li Luo heard about entering the palace, he had a severe headache, and felt that Xie Changying brought up this matter on purpose, to make him feel uncomfortable!
Xie Changying saw that Li Luo finally couldn't smile anymore with a frowning face, inexplicably he felt better, turned around and left the Prince's Mansion, and walked towards his own mansion.Li Luo looked at Xie Changying's back with a thoughtful look on his face, then turned to look at Xie Xiaoqi who was left behind, and said, "Qiqi, do you think your master is jealous?"
Xie Xiaoqi wisely did not speak.
Li Luo went back to the mansion, and indeed someone arranged a room for Xie Xiaoqi, right next to him, the two rooms were next to each other.
The servant heard that this was from Yingchuan Prince's Mansion, and immediately disapproved of Li Luo's actions, feeling that Xie Changying's people were uneasy and kind, but the crown prince had already ordered them, so everyone had to obey.
After Li Luo ordered the room, he returned to his own room. Seeing that it was dawn, he didn't rush to sleep, and asked someone to prepare breakfast. Then he took a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and sat down to write something. .
Li Luo didn't want to write a letter, his handwriting was actually a bit worrying, after all, he was not an orthodox ancient person, but he had practiced brush calligraphy before, so he could still write.
While writing, Li Luo read: "First, the person I like the most...of course is Yingying."
"Second, the color I like...white. My prince also looks good in red, and black is also good. I haven't worn blue."
"Third, my favorite food, meat! I don't like vegetables."
"Fourth, my favorite fruit, grapes!"
Li Luo listed all his hobbies in detail, and wrote a large piece of eloquence, covering everything in detail.
After finishing writing, Li Luo blew on the rice paper to make sure the handwriting was dry.It just so happened that the servant had also prepared breakfast and was bringing it in for Li Luo.
Li Luo said: "Have you prepared breakfast for Qi Qi next door?"
The boy said: "It's ready, it's already been sent over."
"That's good." Li Luo nodded in satisfaction, thinking that being a prince is not bad, it is very convenient to have so many people at his disposal.
The boy withdrew, Li Luo simply took his breakfast and went to the next door.Xie Xiaoqi was in the room, when he saw Li Luolai, his whole body became stiff, he looked like he was facing an enemy.
Li Luo sat down with breakfast, handed the rice paper to Xie Xiaoqi, and said: "Qiqi is for you, this is my preference and daily habit, it is all true, there is not a single lie, just take a look, if When the lord asks later, remember to tell the lord, don't forget it."
Xie Xiaoqi took it suspiciously and took a look, suddenly a little dazed, Li Luo wrote 120 or [-] articles eloquently, what do you like about lazy beds, you will get dizzy after smelling too many flowers, you don’t like dragon fruit, because of the small black seeds of dragon fruit There are too many children.
Xie Xiaoqi looked confused, what is a dragon fruit?Simply unheard of.
In particular, this is the information that Prince Li sent on his own initiative, so Xie Xiaoqi remained hesitant, thinking that Prince Li's city is very deep, and it is really hard to guess.
Xie Xiaoqi said: "This subordinate will tell the prince truthfully."
"That's good." Li Luo nodded.
The emperor wanted to welcome the Li Guo Mission, and indeed he was planning to hold a reception banquet.Li Luo also heard about this matter soon, a eunuch came from the palace and told Li Luo that he would enter the palace to attend a banquet at that time.
People from Li Kingdom came to Daxie, Li Luo is now Crown Prince Li, or a hostage sent by Li Kingdom to Daxie, he had to attend the banquet, even if he wanted to shirk, he couldn't find a reason.
Anyway, pretending to be sick is definitely not acceptable, because Prince Li has been sick all year round, if one day he suddenly recovers, I am afraid that others will find it rare.
Li Luo had no choice but to agree to enter the palace.Anyway, there were so many people that day, so you must not be left alone, and the emperor can't do anything to you in full view, after all, the emperor also wants face.
Li Luo is not a person who likes to be entangled, after thinking about it, he should eat and drink.More important than the emperor, of course, is Taifu Zhao's case.
Although they figured out why Taifu Zhao asked the young prince to meet, in the final analysis, they still didn't find out who killed Taifu Zhao.
Li Luo felt that it should be the person who had a dispute with Mr. Zhao.But who is that person, Qiulu has never seen it, only heard the voice.Now that Qiulu has been killed and silenced, no one knows who the other party is.
"wrong……"
Li Luo suddenly smiled and said, "'I' should know his identity."
Li Luo almost forgot that he is now Prince Li.Prince Li once said that he saw the murderer commit the crime.And the murderer also found Qiulu to frame Prince Li, which shows that Prince Li may really know who the murderer is.
"It seems that after Qiulu is silenced, I will be in danger." Li Luo was very happy when he thought of this, because it meant that the murderer would probably come to his door automatically, and as long as he waited, he might be able to find the murderer.
The envoys of the Li State entered the capital on time, and the envoys of the Napoli State outside the city gate also joined them.For the past few days, Xie Changying had been secretly observing those people, and found that there was no big change in those people pretending to be merchants, but they were flying pigeons to pass letters every day, and they should be secretly contacting some people in Daxie territory.
Later, those people had contact with several people, but the guards reported that those people who had contact were indeed merchants, and they were all serious businessmen, but there were people in all kinds of business.
One thing worth noting is that among those merchants, two of them knew Mr. Huang from Yu Qiaoshan.
Master Huang has been secretly trading iron ore with Li Guo, and has made a lot of contributions to Li Guo's weapons manufacturing.If those merchants knew Mr. Huang, things would not be so simple.
The reception banquet was held as scheduled, Li Luo had no choice but to enter the palace, it was a bit late, almost being the last one to enter the palace.
Li Luo thought of an excuse, so he said that he had a relapse of asthma, so he was delayed for a while. Anyway, he came too, and he was not late, so no one could catch him.
When the banquet started, Xie Xiaoqi, who had been by Li Luo's side all this time, left quietly, went to meet Xie Changying, and reported Li Luo's every move in the past two days to Xie Changying.
Xie Changying frowned after hearing this, and Xie Xiaoqi said, "Prince Li hasn't changed anything recently, and his subordinates really can't see through it. And this..."
Xie Xiaoqi handed the rice paper written by Li Luo to Xie Changying. Xie Changying opened it and looked with surprise and annoyance on his face, but soon, Xie Changying became very confused.
Xie Changying knew Li Luo well, and they had been dating for a while. Although Li Luo was a carefree person, he actually had many small habits, such as liking to eat meat, but he didn't like meat, didn't like to eat vegetables, and didn't like to eat vegetables. Ye Zi only likes to eat vegetable stems, saying that the leaves are soft and have a bad taste.
And even when Li Luo eats vegetables, he likes to choose beautiful ones.He doesn't like vegetables, so he doesn't like ugly vegetables even more, and the same goes for fruits.
Xie Changying looked at the various little habits written on the rice paper, and suddenly became confused.These are all Li Luo's habits, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it, there is nothing wrong with it.
Could it be that Prince Li is imitating Li Luo again, trying to confuse himself with these details?Xie Changying frowned.
But if this is the case, then Prince Li knows too much detail. Even if he wants to imitate Li Luo, how can he know such details?Even if Li Luo was captured and locked up by Prince Li, Li Luo was so smart that he would not tell Prince Li so many details.
"What the hell is going on?" Xie Changying couldn't figure it out.
Prince Li has changed. Ever since he left the cell in Dali Temple, Prince Li seems to have changed.Although he was still sick and weak, he suddenly became fond of talking, laughing and teasing people, always saying some irrelevant words, or telling some cold jokes that made people really helpless.
These are exactly the same as Li Luo, as if...he is really Li Luo.
But how could Prince Li be Li Luo?They clearly look similar, but they are not the same person at all?
Isn't this even more absurd?
Xie Changying held the rice paper in a daze for a long time, Xie Xiaoqi did not dare to disturb the prince, and stood silently by the side without making a sound.
Xie Changying suddenly came back to his senses, and said, "Go and be with him, and stay with him tonight."
"Yes, this subordinate knows." Xie Xiaoqi took the order.
Xie Xiaoqi quickly left and returned to Li Luo's side.
Li Luo was sitting on his seat, stuffing prawn balls into his mouth, when he saw Xie Xiaoqi coming back, he said, "You are back, let me tell you a joke. Your companion is not as easy to get along with as you are." , I told him jokes, he didn't even move his eyelids, could it be that my jokes weren't funny?"
Xie Xiaoqi's companion is naturally the guard who watched Li Luo together.Just now when Xie Xiaoqi went to report back to Xie Changying, other people followed Li Luo closely.
Xie Xiaoqi had a headache for a while and didn't speak, feeling that if she resisted passively, maybe Li Luo would be able to let her go.
Li Luo stuffed another shrimp ball into his mouth, then took a sip of water to moisten his throat, and said, "Qiqi, have you handed over what I wrote to the lord? Did the lord look like he saw a ghost?"
Xie Xiaoqi was taken aback, and almost couldn't help asking how you knew.
From Xie Xiaoqi's point of view, the prince just now looked like he saw a ghost.Because he has been with the prince so long, he has never seen the prince "lost his soul".
Li Luo looked at Xie Xiaoqi's expression, nodded with great satisfaction, and said, "It's good that the lord responds, I know that my lord is still very smart, and in a short while, maybe we can communicate normally."
Li Luo wanted to boil the frog in warm water, after all, one cannot eat hot tofu in a hurry.Let Xie Changying discover that he is unusual first, whet Xie Changying's appetite, and make him scratch his head with curiosity, so that he can have the initiative.
Li Luo nodded confidently, and continued to destroy a table of delicacies.
While Li Luo was eating, he found that someone was staring at him, his eyes were very hot.
He couldn't eat anymore, he thought he might be the emperor again?It's too difficult to deal with it even when you're old.
Li Luo looked back quietly, but what he saw was not the eyes of the emperor, but a girl who was secretly looking at him.
Li Luoxin asked, could it be that Prince Li is so beautiful that a girl fell in love with him at first sight?
Li Luo took a closer look and realized that he had guessed wrong.Because that girl seems to be "my" younger sister, that is, the concubine princess sent by the mission, the youngest princess of the Li country.
The little princess looks too young, maybe around 15 years old?In modern times, I'm still a middle school student, the age when proper parents and teachers have warned me not to fall in love early.In ancient times, 15-year-old girls would be sent to marry each other.
Li Luo sighed for a while, the little girl looks cute, although she may not be very beautiful, but she has not yet grown up, marrying the emperor to be a concubine, isn't this a waste of money?
Li Luo and the little princess met eyes, the little princess hesitated for a moment, but stood up and walked towards Li Luo.
"Brother Prince..." The little princess whispered to Li Luo, "Brother Prince, come with me, I have something to discuss with you."
The little princess was very disturbed, so she left first after saying that, and walked to the small garden where there was no one next to the banquet.
Li Luo thought for a while, then stood up and followed, not knowing what the little girl was up to.
Xie Xiaoqi took a look, and said to the guard next to him: "Go and tell the prince, Prince Li has left, I will follow now."
"Okay." The guard nodded.
Li Luo followed, and the little princess stood by the pond in the garden, looking very anxious, her hands tightly clasped together.
Li Luo asked, "What do you want from me?"
Before the little princess could speak, her eyes were already red, she looked really wronged, and said, "Brother Prince, please save me! I don't want to marry the second prince!"
"Second prince?" Li Luo was a little surprised when he heard that, it turned out that the little princess was not going to marry the emperor, but the emperor's son, Xie Di.
It is true that Xie Di is much younger than the emperor, but he may not be much better. Anyway, in Li Luo's eyes, he is absolutely inferior to Xie Tang.
The little princess seemed to have heard a lot of rumors about Xie Di, and said: "The second prince is very playful, and often beats and scolds the palace servants who serve him. I don't want to marry such a person."
Li Luo was in a dilemma, he was a hostage prince, even if he spoke, no one would listen to him.
"I...I don't like that second prince." The little princess said aggrievedly: "Even if you have to marry someone from Xie Guo, can't... can't it be..."
When the little princess said this, her eyes were still red, but she became a little shy, and said, "Can't it be King Yingchuan? I think he's the right age."
"Xie Changying?" Li Luo couldn't hold back, his eyes widened.
The little princess nodded shyly, and said: "Yes, it is King Yingchuan. Brother Prince, have you seen him? I have seen him from a distance. He looks... very handsome. Besides, he is also the prince of Xie Kingdom, I think that if I marry him, it should be okay...Brother Prince, can you go and talk to the prince?"
Li Luo's eyelids twitched several times, and he couldn't help but say, "Your eyesight is quite good. But..."
Li Luo felt so sad, how could he help the little princess marry Xie Changying, unless he was crazy!
Originally, Li Luo was already burdened by being green, but now he has to help his love rival?
Li Luo coughed, and said with a serious face: "King Yingchuan and I... are not very familiar. I will go and tell him, and he will definitely not agree."
"Then what should I do?" The little princess was in a hurry, and said: "If it is delayed any longer, this is a lifelong event for my younger sister. My younger sister is going to marry the second prince, and my younger sister will definitely not want it."
Li Luo thought silently in his heart, it's not that I'm selfish, I also care about the important things in my life, the prince has already been booked by me, and I must never give it up to others.
"Otherwise..." The little princess gritted her teeth, and lowered her voice, "If not, the prince brother will help me to offer a few glasses of wine to the prince, and try to get him drunk. Once the rice is cooked, it’s done!”
Li Luo got a headache when he heard it.
