Chapter 39

Lin Wanyue took the donkey cart out of the village and reminded Li Xian that the cart was about to run, then jumped onto the shaft and waved the small leather in his hand to hit the donkey.

Riding on the slightly rising sun, Lin Wanyue and Li Xian set out on the road again.

...

The residence of the King of Chu in the capital

Because of the death of Liang Concubine, the King of Chu was able to stay in the capital for a short time.

The Marquis of Pingyang came to the Chu Palace early in the morning and waited for a long time before he was summoned into the house.

"The Marquis came to this king so early. Is there anything important?"

The King of Chu sat in the top position, raised his hand while saying that he would signal the Marquis of Pingyang to take his seat.

When the Marquis of Pingyang sat down, a maid immediately served tea.

"Prince..." Hou Pingyang looked around with a silence.

"You guys go down first." The King of Chu put down the teacup and waved his hand.

"Yes!" The maids withdrew from the scene.

Seeing that everyone was exposed, Marquis Pingyang owed his body in the direction of King Li Ying of Chu, lowered his voice and said, "Prince, Zhonger, is Zhonger in your hands?"

"Crown Prince Zhong is not here with me."

The Marquis of Pingyang immediately changed his face: "Prince, you are not..."

"I did send several groups of people to assassinate my sister, but these groups of people were dealt with on the road and were not successful at all. Moreover, the other party was very arrogant. Every wave of people would leave a seriously injured living room to report to me."

Speaking of this, King Li Xuan of Chu narrowed his eyes.

Hearing the King of Chu say this, Marquis Pingyang's face turned completely pale and he collapsed on the chair.

"Prince, please save me. I am over fifty years old, and I am the only son of this one, and I have worked hard to train. Now, now..."

"The Marquis is a little restless. According to the information I learned, there are two other people who sent people to assassinate Li Xian, besides this king, one of them has been confirmed, they are from King Yong, and the other one is very mysterious. I have not found out the main behind the scenes, but I guess they should be from King Qi. Only King Qi has enough ability and motivation to do this. There are only three adult vassal kings, Huan Pei, one is introverted and the other is still young, so there should not be such a force and scheming. So according to my king's opinion, Li Xian is either dead and his body is secretly dealt with. If he is lucky enough to die, he should be controlled by one of them, so that Li Zhu will be threatened to submit in the future. As for Prince Zhong..."

King Li Xuan of Chu deliberately stretched out his voice, supported his arm and raised his hand in front of him, then bent his index finger and moved the ring on his thumb.

"Prince, I am loyal to you, Prince! Prince."

As he said that, the Marquis of Pingyang was about to bow down, but the King of Chu held it down. The King of Chu stared into the Marquis of Pingyang's eyes and continued, "Hearing that I have finished speaking, if Prince Zhong did not die on the spot during the assassination, I think someone will soon ask you to negotiate terms with the Marquis."

After saying that, the King of Chu smiled at the Marquis of Pingyang, then let go of the Marquis of Pingyang and patted the Marquis of Pingyang on the shoulder. The King of Chu straightened his body, reached out to pick up the teacup, and took a sip.

Raise tea to see off guests.

Marquis Pingyang stood up staggeringly from the chair and bowed to King Li Xuan of Chu: "Prince, please rest assured, the old minister will never do anything to betray the prince."

Upon hearing this, the King of Chu curled his lips and replied indifferently: "Marty, don't guarantee it too early. After all, it is important to rescue the prince. If necessary, it's okay to sell some information. But remember to inform me later so that I can prepare."

The face of Pingyang Hou was very bad, and he saluted the King of Chu and left the main hall.

When the Marquis of Pingyang left, King Li Xuan of Chu's face immediately became gloomy. He waved his sleeves and pulled the teacup on the small table to the ground: "Li Ying, you have poisoned the Queen Mother's mother. I secretly colluded with Li Xian. Now I have ruined my affairs repeatedly. I will calculate this account with you sooner or later!"

...

"Xian'er, it's noon. Let's take a break and eat some dry food."

Li Xian nodded, Lin Wanyue parked the donkey cart and tied it to the side of the road to help Li Xian out of the car.

The place where Lin Wanyue picked has a good scenery. Not far from the road is a pond. The pond is not big, half a square acre. There are several clusters of reeds growing in the pond. When the wind blows, the reeds sway in the wind. The pond is rippling and the waves are shimmering, and the scenery is beautiful.

Lin Wanyue found a grassy field with a wide view, squatted down and picked out the gravels on the ground one by one, threw them aside, then spread the cloth for wrapping on the ground, and then touched the gravels with her hands to confirm that there were no missing ones before asking Li Xian to sit on the cloth.

Then he turned around and took dry food and a kettle in the donkey cart, and returned to Li Xian and sat on the grass next to Li Xian.

"Xian'er, come and eat a piece of dry food."

"Thanks."

Li Xian took the dry food handed over by Lin Wanyue, put it in her mouth and took a small bite.

"The scenery here is nice, Feixing is interested."

Li Xian turned around and smiled at Lin Wanyue, then enjoyed the scenery in front of her while eating dry food.

Lin Wanyue finished the dry food in her hand in just a few bites, but she was not full at all. She wanted to get another piece and thought that there was not much left in the food. She didn't know how long it took to go along the way...

The hand that was heading towards the dry food turned around the middle and picked up the kettle.

But he didn't want to stretch out a delicate jade hand from the side, picked up a piece of dry food and handed it to Lin Wanyue. A gentle voice also came from Lin Wanyue's ear: "Fei Xing, eat another piece."

Seeing Lin Wanyue hesitating, Li Xian smiled and said, "I still know your appetite for Feixing. I'm afraid it's not enough to eat just one piece. If you go on the road hungry, who will protect me if something happens?"

As he finished speaking, the breeze happened to pass by, flying Li Xian's long black hair.

A few strands of hair swept softly across Lin Wanyue's face, itchy.

The special fragrance also penetrated Lin Wanyue's nose and penetrated into her heart and spleen.

Blue sky, grassland, breeze, half acre square pond, swaying reeds.

Old donkey cart, black soldier, eldest princess...

Until many years later, Lin Wanyue still remembers today's scene, which is extremely clear, extremely vivid, and has never faded...

Li Xian didn't eat much, so she ate half a piece of dry food and drank some white water to get full.

With the experience of having leftovers last night, Li Xian naturally handed the remaining half of her dry food to Lin Wanyue.

Lin Wanyue took it happily, and stuffed the dry food into her mouth with her mouth. Two round bags immediately bulged on her cheeks, and as Lin Wanyue chewed, she moved one after another.

Li Xian held her knees and looked at the scenery in front of her and blurted out: "A half acre of square pond opens, and the sky is light and clouds are wandering together. I ask how clear the canal is? Only the source of fresh water comes."

Hearing Li Xian's chanting, Lin Wanyue's eyes were bright and she said enviously: "Xian'er, you are so literary. My father would have done some poems for my mother and me before... I would write some poems with my sister. Unfortunately, I have been playing tricks since I was a child. I just met a few words with my father and barely able to write names, so I never touched books again..."

"Flying Star is so outstanding, its situation will definitely be different in the future. I believe that if Feixing still wants to learn, there will be many people willing to teach you."

"Um."

...

"Xian'er, if we have enough rest, let's continue on our way and try to find our next place before dark, otherwise we will probably sleep out tonight."

"good!"

Lin Wanyue held her hands up and stood up from the ground, then reached out and pulled Li Xian up. Lin Wanyue packed up her things and put them back into the donkey cart. The two set off again.

Until the donkey cart turned into a small dot, the originally calm pond suddenly made a "slope" sound of water, and two people came out of the water!

The two of them were wet all over, covered in black, and after they got ashore, they kept dripping with water on their bodies. Looking at the exquisite curves, they turned out to be two women.

One of the women threw away the bamboo tube in their hand and complained to the other person: "This kid is too tight to see the princess, right? He doesn't leave for almost a moment. How do we ask the princess for instructions on what to do next? Now it's going to be a big deal outside!"

"Little Eleven, the princess has always said that you are a fool. You don't admit it yet. We don't need to report anything to the princess now, and the princess has already made clear instructions. Besides, what are you afraid of if Sister Qingyan is in charge? Moreover, maybe the princess thinks that the situation is as chaotic as possible. We both secretly follow the princess and protect the princess' safety without any problems. The rest are left to the little soldier."

"But... Sister Yu Xian... Look at what that kid gives the princess? His Royal Highness has never eaten that kind of thing!"

Yu Xian glanced at Xiao Shiyi and said seriously: "Your Highness doesn't think anything, what are you complaining about? We are shadows, as long as we execute the master's orders and lurk in the dark, it's not our turn to worry about anything else."

"Oh, Sister Yu Xian, don't be angry~ I won't talk nonsense every eleven times."

"Let's go too. The little soldier is very vigilant. Last time, he actually saw through our ambush at first sight. We cannot be too close to each other. If he accidentally discovered it, it would probably ruin the princess's big event."

"Hmph, Sister Yu Xian's evaluation of that little soldier is really high."

...

Lin Wanyue waved the small whip in her hand while looking at the surrounding scenery.

These days have been Lin Wanyue’s leisure time in the past few years, and she has been blessed with Li Xian’s good advice, and she has not found any signs of pursuing soldiers along the way...

Lin Wanyue sat on the shaft and looked forward, and saw that the path stretched between the two mountains in front.
