A guard in Jinyi held the mounts for Li Xingyun and Lu Linxuan, watching them step up the tower under the guidance of Zhang Zifan.
Walking up the stone steps of the city wall to the top of the city, you can see Kuimu wearing a red flying fish suit standing there holding a knife. At the same time, there are several Jin Yiwei guards who often follow Li Jing. have.
Kui Mu's originally lost left hand has been replaced with a prosthetic limb. What surprised Li Xingyun was that Kui Mu, who often covered his face with a cloth, turned out to be quite handsome.
Last month, the troops sent outside the Great Wall of the Western Region finally returned. In addition to large groups of elite cavalry, these people sent to various places also included many young people from the Jaundice tribe.
The team that returned from the Western Regions not only brought back a herb called "Sun-shielding Grass", but also brought back several local Western medicine doctors. After studying and testing the medicine, they finally lifted the jaundice tribe's inability to touch light. The curse.
Therefore, Kui Mu can now show his true colors at any time.
Now Kui Mu has lived in the Central Plains for a long time and has become extremely fluent in the Central Plains dialect. After greeting Li Xingyun, he stepped aside and moved out of the way.
There were Jinyi guards who wanted to collect the weapons of Li Xingyun and Lu Linxuan, but Kui Mu stopped them.
"King Xin, please."
Zhang Zifan is still shaking his folding fan. He is relatively familiar with Li Xingyun, but he is also troubled by many things now. As the prince of the country, he not only had to reopen the Hanlin Academy, but also the autumn of August or September was approaching. As the first imperial examination of the new dynasty, it naturally required a lot of attention from him.
Therefore, in fact, the contact with Li Xingyun was only in formal occasions, and not much in private.
The discerning people in the court could see that Li Jing wanted to train Zhang Zifan as prime minister...
Li Xingyun nodded politely to Zhang Zifan and led Lu Linxuan towards the city tower. Only then did he see Li Jing, dressed in white and brocade, resting one hand on the city wall and the other behind his back, looking out at Luoyang City.
Behind him, there is a table with several steaming teacups placed on it. You can smell the faint fragrance of tea from a distance.
"Brother, please see your Majesty..."
Li Xingyun and Lu Linxuan hurried over to greet him.
Li Jing then turned around, laughed, and held the two of them with both hands to prevent them from bowing down.
Previously, Li Jing also wanted to grant Lu Linxuan a title and open a palace. If Lu Linxuan agreed, she would be the eldest princess of the dynasty and the emperor's sister. However, Lu Linxuan declined to Li Jing in private. If she is really made the eldest princess and wants to open a mansion, she will no longer be able to live with Li Xingyun...
Li Jing took the two of them, but did not arrange for them to sit around the tea table. Instead, they stood together on the edge of the city wall and looked at the vast land outside Luoyang. A wide and flat road stretched out until The end of the world.
Countless people come and go along this road approaching Luoyang and leading to the distance.
"I really want to leave..."
Li Xingyun and Lu Linxuan watched Li Jing facing the rising sunlight for a long time before they saw Li Jing turn her head and look at them, smiling lightly.
Li Xingyun's face now looks more mature than young. In fact, he is only two years younger than Li Jing, and he is only eighteen years old now. But compared to the two of them, Li Xingyun has suffered all the way. His suffering is no less than that of Li Jing.
But unfortunately, he is now much more innocent than Li Jing.
"This kind of life is good... but I always feel like it's not what I like... Idle clouds and wild cranes, happy rivers and lakes, maybe this is the final destination for people like me."
Li Xingyun was silent for a moment, and finally smiled casually. The rising sun slowly shone on the top of the city, and a faint golden light reflected on the heads of several people. The hair on the temples shone slightly, looking very impressive. People are comfortable.
Li Jing smiled and nodded, turned around and walked towards the tea table. When he picked up a cup of tea, he waved to Li Xingyun and handed the other two cups of tea to them.
"I cannot imprison your freedom, but the world is still in chaos and nowhere is a pure land. You can still see many unfair things in the life of Xianyun Yehe in your mind. What will you do then?"
Li Xingyun
He lowered his head, looked at the rising heat, and pondered silently.
Lu Linxuan was thoughtful and just took a sip of tea slowly without making a sound.
Li Jing smiled lightly. He actually had no other thoughts when he said this, but it just depends on what Li Xingyun thinks.
What Li Xingyun said is nothing more than the kind of detached and unfettered life he wants. But if he really wants this, then it is not his turn to care about worldly things. If you abandon this responsibility, you will no longer be qualified to take care of these things.
Seeing Li Xingyun's frown, Li Jing finally laughed, patted him on the shoulder, and then touched the teacup in Li Xingyun's hand with his teacup.
"Actually, there aren't that many worries. You can do what you want to do. The world is so big that it's great not to be stuck in these restrictive things."
As he said that, Li Jing looked at Li Xingyun's dazed expression and pointed at the place where his feet were.
"I believe this land will be more prosperous in the future. If you still like it here, you can come back at any time in the future."
Li Xingyun was silent for a moment and nodded.
Li Jing smiled lightly, then looked at Lu Linxuan, and then glanced at a jade bracelet between her right wrist, revealing her white teeth.
This bracelet was carved from a piece of jade given to him by the people below. He originally gave it to the empress, but when the empress summoned Lu Linxuan, she gave it to Lu Linxuan in the name of Li Jing.
Li Jing has a small family, and Li Xingyun accepted him, so he accepted Li Xingyun, and naturally regarded Lu Linxuan as his sister. Therefore, the empress also loves Wujiwu, and she also likes this very spirited girl.
After many days of contact with Li Jing, Lu Linxuan is now very familiar with him. There is no unfamiliarity with him before, just a gentle smile.
"Your Majesty..."
Li Jing waved her hand and also touched the teacup in her hand with the teacup.
"We are a family. I know you will leave together, and there is nothing more to say... If there is a chance in the future, don't forget that Luoyang still has a home for you."
Lu Linxuan's heart moved inexplicably, but he was speechless and just nodded.
Li Xingyun also had an expression on his face, but he seemed to have suddenly made up his mind to really leave here.
Li Jing said it right. In this life, of course you have to do what you want to do...
At this moment, Li Jing suddenly touched the teacups in their hands and laughed.
"Today I have tea instead of wine, which can be regarded as a formal farewell to you. I say goodbye today. I hope you will always be well in the future."
Li Xingyun's face straightened, he also held the cup with both hands, looked at each other with Lu Linxuan, then raised his head and drank.
The three of them said nothing more, but after saying goodbye again, Li Xingyun and Lu Linxuan strode away. When passing the waiting crowd in the distance, they nodded with Zhang Zifan and went down the tower.
The rising sun pulled the two people on horseback far away. Li Jing put her hands behind her back and quietly watched the two people drifting away, silently.
"Do you need to send someone..."
Zhang Zifan watched from behind as the sunlight shone on Li Jing, making him look golden all over, but his back was dark, making it difficult to figure out.
Li Jing turned around, just smiled and shook his head, and then walked slowly towards the stone steps.
"No need..."
