Li Dingxing also recognized Yi Xiaodao, and Xiang Lian'er beside him must be the "sister" he kept clamoring for in the palace to propose marriage to him.
"Boatman, if something happens to you, just forget it." Although Li Dingxing didn't speak much on weekdays, he knew how to be considerate of the people, so he was very popular. The people in Su City gave a thumbs up when they mentioned the second young master. Just now, the boatman was willing to ferry him again. In addition to flattery, he also showed respect.
"No, no, no, it's rare for the second young master to be in a good mood. It's okay for me to do this!" The boatman repeatedly waved his hands to refuse and sped up his tidying up. Soon, the sundries in the cabin were piled aside and placed neatly. I bought four or five small stools.
"What a snobbery!" Xiang Lian'er muttered dissatisfiedly.
This complaint was naturally heard by everyone present. The boatman had a hard time explaining it, so he simply pretended not to hear it and stood aside waiting for Li Dingxing to board the boat.
The guards around Li Dingxing were not happy when they heard Xiang Lian'er's words, and were about to step forward to attack. Li Dingxing reached out to stop the guards behind him, cupped his hands and said, "If it's Young Master Yi, and Miss Yi doesn't dislike it, you can still Please get on the boat and travel to Sioux City together."
Xiang Lian'er's almond-shaped eyes widened: "What is Miss Yi? My name is Xiang..." Before she could finish her words, Xiang Lian'er was covered by Yi Xiaodao.
"Xiang...it is better to meet by chance than to invite, to obey orders is better to be respectful, and to arrive early is worse than to arrive by chance. Don't say so much, hurry up and get on the boat!" Yi Xiaodao followed Xiang Lian'er's words and pulled Xiang Lian'er. Towed aboard.
"This... little old man, this is my boat..." The boatman hesitated to speak.
Li Dingxing had a clear mind and understood what the boatman meant. He turned around and said to the guards, "Just wait for me here."
"But, Second Young Master..." The guards were still trying to argue, but Li Dingxing no longer planned to listen, and went straight onto the boat following Yi Xiaodao and Xiang Lian'er.
The boatman put away the rope and stretched out the bamboo pole: "Let's start the boat. Second Young Master, sit tight~"
Li Dingxing ignored the boatman's kindness, or had no time to pay attention to it. He sat in the cabin and stared closely at Yi Xiaodao and Xiang Lian'er: "Who are the two of them?"
When Xiang Lian'er heard Li Dingxing's unkind questioning, she knew that it was not her place to interrupt when talking about serious matters. She who was sitting between the two of them silently moved to the side. Without Xiang Lian'er in the middle, Yi Xiaodao was not afraid at all when he faced Li Dingxing.
"Huh? Doesn't the Second Young Master of Nanhuai Palace know this yet? I am an envoy appointed by His Majesty. Do you have any questions?" Yi Xiaodao looked surprised.
Li Dingxing sneered and said: "Your Majesty appointed you? Why did the envoy appointed by His Majesty suddenly come to propose marriage to the vassal king? Which envoy dares to get so close to the vassal king? Besides, since your Majesty appointed him, why not go with Mr. Huang? Instead, are you sneaking around and following me to Dayang Mountain?"
Yi Xiaodao acted like a rogue: "Nanhuai is rich, why not find yourself a place to live and settle down? That Dayang Mountain is not the territory of the Nanhuai Palace, but you can go? I can't go?"
When Li Dingxing saw that Yi Xiaodao didn't answer his question directly, he was furious but could do nothing about it. He knew that no matter how much he asked, it would be in vain. He turned to look at Xiang Lian'er: "Is this Miss Yi...is her surname really Yi?"
"My surname is not Yi! My name is Xiang Lian'er!" Xiang Lian'er wanted to hold back, but when she thought of suffering a loss, she blurted out immediately.
"Yes, Xiang Lian'er, her nickname is Xiang Lian'er!" Yi Xiaodao reacted very quickly and quickly made amends.
Li Dingxing stood up from the cabin. However, the ship was too small. If Li Dingxing stood up straight, there would be a big hole in the roof.
"I don't know what the purpose of your coming to Nanhuai is. If you are really your Majesty's envoy, please leave as soon as possible after finishing your official business. If you dare to act wild in Nanhuai, you will be allowed to..." Li Dingxing had not finished his harsh words, The people on both sides of the river rushed to point to the sky and started shouting, drowning his voice.
Xiang Lian'er was most lively. When she saw the people on both sides pointing to the sky and shouting, she knew that the moon must have come out. She quickly rushed towards the stern of the ship. She accidentally stumbled, but ignored it and continued to climb towards the stern of the ship. Li Dingxing was also knocked down.
"Yi Gu...I..." Li Dingxing fell to pieces and couldn't tell where Yi Xiaodao and Xiang Lian'er were for a moment.
Yi Xiaodao also followed and headed towards the stern of the boat. The annual Mid-Autumn Festival moon viewing is a must-see. He also helped Li Dingxing up, who had fallen in the cabin, and dragged them to the stern of the ship.
"The moon is so beautiful. When I was a child, every Mid-Autumn Festival, my mother would always make four big moon cakes. One for each of my grandparents, one for my father, and one for my brother and I. It tastes so delicious!" Xiang Lian'er held her chin in both hands and lay on her back. Stern, recalling.
"Mid-Autumn Festival...Mother...Every Mid-Autumn Festival, my mother would always bring out a large plate of mooncakes, which the whole family couldn't eat at all. My eldest brother would always waste the mooncakes, throwing them everywhere, and my mother would follow my eldest brother to clean them up. Later, I only gave them to Brother, if you don’t give more, the extra mooncakes will be given to the servants..." Li Dingxing leaned against the cabin and spoke leisurely.
"Xiao Dao, what about you? Can you ask for moon cakes every Mid-Autumn Festival?" Xiang Lian'er asked Xiang Yi Xiao Dao.
Yi Xiaodao raised his hand and patted Xiang Lian'er's buttocks. He found that Li Dingxing was still paying attention to Xiang Lian'er's words, and felt a little relieved.
Yi Xiaodao said: "That's such a pity. I didn't see the princess in the palace today."
Li Dingxing cried and laughed: "You can't see me anymore, my mother... passed away three years ago."
Xiang Lian'er was originally dissatisfied with Yi Xiaodao's "eating tofu" behavior, but when she heard what happened to Li Dingxing's mother, she couldn't help but forget about blaming Yi Xiaodao: "God is true, a good person like the princess... "
"My mother is indeed a good person, but it's not God's fault." Li Dingxing said suddenly and viciously, "It's my fault! It's those wealthy families from Jiangnan! My mother went home to visit her relatives, and was robbed and killed by bandits on her way back!" If it weren’t for those wealthy families backing me, how would any bandit dare to rob the Nanhuai Prince’s carriages and horses!”
Yi Xiaodao raised his brows slightly, his face expressionless: The princess of the Nanhuai Palace died in the hands of the Jiangnan clan. This is a big event. I always thought I had never heard of it...
"What happened next? Did King Nanhuai go to settle the score with them?" Xiang Lian'er was very curious, so she listened intently and wanted to get to the bottom of it.
Li Dingxing looked at the moon, and at this time he also regarded Yi Xiaodao and Xiang Lian'er as his confidants. He sighed and said, "Go, my father ordered his eldest brother to lead five thousand elite soldiers to annihilate the bandits. In the end, they were annihilated, but that group Seeing that the situation was over, the bandits all committed suicide and no one was left alive. How could a bandit be so courageous? In anger, my father led 10,000 elite soldiers to Hangzhou to seek an explanation from the clansmen. The confrontation lasted for more than half a month. In the end, my father Putting the overall situation first, we retreated..."
"It's hard for the King of Nanhuai..." Yi Xiaodao sighed.
Xiang Lian'er stretched out her hand and touched Li Dingxing's forehead lightly: "It's a shame for you two brothers too..."
Li Dingxing was touched lightly on the forehead by Xiang Lian'er, and his heart was immediately touched. His mother often touched him like this when he was a child. At that moment, Li Dingxing thought that his mother was back, and it was Xiang Lian'er in front of him. He even had a feeling I had the urge to hug Xiang Lian'er tightly, just to retain the strange feeling just now.
"How about I talk to King Nanhuai and ask you to be a stepmother?" Yi Xiaodao whispered in Xiang Lian'er's ear.
"It's not straight!" Xiang Lian'er kicked Yi Xiaodao firmly from the stern to the cabin, only two feet short of reaching the bow.
Yi Xiaodao was kicked unexpectedly, and he grabbed with both hands and tore the curtains, fishing nets, and roof of the boatman's boat to pieces. The cabin was in a mess. Fortunately, the boatman was also looking up at the moon and didn't notice the cabin. Everything that happened.
Yi Xiaodao didn't dare to say anything, so he yelled at Xiang Lian'er. Xiang Lian'er knew what Yi Xiaodao was saying without even looking at the shape of his mouth: "You have to pay for it!"
Xiang Lian'er replied with just one word: "Escape."
The two hit it off immediately. Yi Xiaodao jumped to the stern of the boat, and he and Xiang Lian'er set up Li Dingxing. At this time, the boat happened to pass a bluestone bridge. There were several large stones under the bridge, which were usually used by peasant women to do laundry. , available for standing.
The two of them carried Li Dingxing and took advantage of the boatman's inattention to jump onto the big rock. They pushed me up the street and fled. Of course, they carried Li Dingxing from beginning to end.
Poor Li Dingxing was just reminiscing about the past in the cabin. Before he could realize what was going on, he was dragged to the shore by the two of them and started running wildly on the street.
In terms of appearance, Li Dingxing may not be recognized by many people when he walks on the street, but who doesn't know that the second son of the Prince of Nanhuai has waist-length hair? At this time, I saw two thieves, a man and a woman, fleeing in embarrassment on the street with the second young master, how could it be okay?
"The second young master has been arrested! Rescue the second young master quickly!"
"What? The second young master was beaten? Who beat the second young master?"
"The Second Young Master is dead? Who the hell is this? We want to avenge the Second Young Master!"
The common people spread the word, and immediately, Yi Xiaodao and Xiang Lian'er were followed by people carrying lanterns and moon cakes. The "brave people" soon filled the streets, chasing Yi Xiaodao in a mighty manner. Xiaodao and Shanlianer.
"Just those fishing nets in the cabin, no... as for..." Xiang Lian'er was a girl after all, and she was dragging Li Dingxing with her. She was already out of breath.
"As for! Very important! If you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are! Then you have to pay at least five taels of silver! Five taels!" Yi Xiaodao "understands" the mood of everyone behind him.
Seeing Xiang Lian'er breathing heavily, Li Dingxing immediately stood firm and pushed Xiang Lian'er to the middle: "You rest for a while, I'll come." After saying that, he and Yi Xiaodao dragged Xiang Lian'er from left to right and continued. "Escape."
When Yi Xiaodao saw Li Dingxing being so polite, he couldn't help but nodded: "Good brother! I saw you right!"
In this way, the farce didn't stop until late at night. Seeing that they could not catch up with anyone, the common people cried and said that they would go to the palace tomorrow to see off the second son for the last time. The boatman saw the mess in his cabin and thought it was a gangster. Instead of being sad for his own loss, he shed tears in the cabin for the second son's "unfortunate encounter".
At this time, Yi Xiaodao and three others had already run to the city wall, breathing heavily.
"Let's go have a drink!" Li Dingxing looked at his surroundings. His mouth was very dry and he waved his hand towards the two of them.
Yi Xiaodao asked: "Where...where can we drink?"
"My brother often comes to this restaurant to drink. The store owner recognizes my brother and just puts it in his account!" Li Dingxing said proudly.
After a while, the three people came to the eaves of the tavern owner with two jars of wine in their arms and started drinking under the moonlight.
The wine in Nanhuai was the most delicious. Even Xiang Lian'er, who never drank alcohol, took two big gulps and her face turned red.
"Yi...Xiao Dao, just...stay...accompany me to help my brother...conquer the country..." Li Dingxing drank enough wine and fell asleep, murmuring in his sleep, but also from his heart.
Fortunately, Yi Xiaodao had the fire energy in his body to exercise, and most of the alcohol had dissipated. Looking at the sleepy Li Dingxing, he couldn't help but think of the scene in Dayang Mountain during the day. If the fire energy in his body hadn't leaked out, deflecting the feather The trajectory of the arrow has disastrous consequences.
"Second Young Master, I also admire you very much. If we have a chance... let's fight together!" Yi Xiaodao looked at the sleeping Li Dingxing and said what was in his heart.
"Country? What kind of country do you want? You want a beauty~ Xiaodao, am I beautiful~" Xiang Lian'er sprayed a big mouthful of wine on Yi Xiaodao's face, and fell asleep lying on Yi Xiaodao's body.
Yi Xiaodao raised his head and saw the bright moon in the sky.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the wind in Nanhuai is a bit cold.
"Is it better to be a king or a beauty..." Yi Xiaodao thought of He Yue'er, who was thousands of miles away, and giggled.
