Li Chenan hugged Xiao Baozi's hand tighter.
He whispered in Xiao Baozi's ear: "Actually, I have you and Ruoshui. This is God's greatest favor for me in this life."
Xiao Baozi's face turned red, and he whispered: "Ning Chuchu's heart for you must not be let down!"
He will eventually return to Wanxi Zhai.
Zhongli Ruoshui's illness...in Xiao Baozi's opinion, it was basically hopeless.
Once Zhongli Ruoshui dies of illness, it will be a huge blow to Li Chenan!
Men, in many cases, are not as strong as they appear.
They also have moments of vulnerability.
When that time comes, he needs someone to accompany him.
Accompanying him through the most painful period helped him regain his confidence to face the future.
If he heals his pain in Wanxi Zhai, of course he can stay with him at all times.
But if he is somewhere else... Ning Chuchu loves him deeply and should be the best candidate.
Li Chenan didn't know that Xiao Baozi was thinking too far.
He looked at Ning Chuchu, who was riding on the horse in front, wearing a red dress and with long flowing hair, and suddenly felt a little touched deep in his heart.
That is a beautiful and strong girl.
She is the fourth princess of Ning Kingdom, but she does not have the arrogance of a princess at all.
This journey was very hard, but she accompanied him all the way without any complaints from beginning to end.
What she was looking forward to was to receive the eldest son of the emperor.
Then, he can hold her in his arms.
But...she might be disappointed.
Li Chenan sighed leisurely:
“Since ancient times, there is only so much passion and hatred, and good dreams are the easiest to wake up from.
Is it difficult to get rid of the flowers? It's a pity that the flying catkins are too scattered.
The fragrant nest is suddenly closed to the Yuanyang Society, and the new sentences are still written on the emerald screen.
Not because of separation, my heart has been broken, and my old shirt is full of tears. "
Xiao Baozi stiffened and turned his head, "You gave it to me?"
"No, it's for Ning Chuchu!"
…
…
Xiao Baozi felt that Li Chenan was a little strange today.
What kind of weirdness?
It's roughly the kind of weird thing that makes some gods nagging.
This feeling was something she had never felt before, and it gave her a bad premonition.
The trip to Shuzhou should not be risky no matter how you think about it.
Especially now.
With the five hundred soldiers of the Tiger Battalion at ease, they also have a small number of fireworks.
This is Shuzhou, and she already knows that this is the territory of Zhongli Mansion.
Although Shuzhou is mountainous, I have not heard of many mountain bandits.
Even if there are many bandits, with himself, the two swords of Mushan Sword, and the blurs prepared by Xiao Wu, plus the Tiger Camp and the Detachment of Women...the bandits who can keep Li Chenan behind have not yet been born.
Does Li Chenan have no feelings for Ning Chuchu?
Based on a woman's intuition, Xiao Baozi was sure it wasn't the case.
The only obstacle between Ning Chuchu and Li Chenan was the rumor that Li Chenan was the eldest son of the emperor.
But once Li Chenan received the real eldest son of the emperor, his identity would naturally fade away, and he would be the eldest son of Guangling Li Mansion.
The matter between him and Ning Chuchu should come to fruition.
There are many benefits to him marrying Ning Chuchu.
After all, Ning Chuchu is the fourth princess of the Ning Kingdom and the sister of the eldest son of the emperor.
The eldest son of the emperor ascended the throne and became the emperor, so he would definitely not do something dirty to his brother-in-law.
But why did he suddenly recite such a poem?
"Is it dangerous?"
"no."
"Is Ning Chuchu not beautiful enough or gentle enough?"
"No."
"why?"
Li Chenan was silent.
There was silence for a long time.
Until the sunset, the team rested by a pond.
Li Chenan did not get off the donkey, he still held Xiao Baozi, and then said:
"I don't want to miss her for three years."
Xiao Baozi turned his head, pondered for ten breaths, and looked at the sunset on the horizon, "Then you can delay me for three years?"
Li Chenan laughed, "I don't want to miss you for a moment."
Xiao Baozi's face turned red, she bit her lip, glanced around, and whispered: "There are too many people, you can't just use blur to knock them all down, right?"
Li Chenan patted Xiao Baozi's butt and laughed. He jumped off the donkey's back, walked to the pond, picked a small purple flower, and walked towards Xiao Baozi.
Xiao Baozi also got off the donkey's back, and the little black donkey ran towards the lush water plants.
Li Chenan stood in front of Xiao Baozi and pinned the small purple flower on Xiao Baozi's head.
Although the flower is nameless, it is beautiful.
The afterglow of the sunset fell on Xiao Baozi's already beautiful face, and also fell on the small purple flower swaying slightly in the evening breeze, making Xiao Baozi's beauty appear more vivid.
Ning Chuchu happened to turn around.
Just happened to see it.
My heart felt sour.
She also went to the pond and squatted down.
Looking at the pretty face reflected in the pond, she pouted and whispered:
"You are very happy when you want good things, but you are only temporarily busy fighting for your in-laws.
After all, good things will come of it in the end, and noble people will lead you to your hometown."
"The monk said it was a sign...you should act according to the situation and be calm, or there may be a sudden turn of events..."
She looked up at the mountains in the distance.
I have passed countless peaks and turned countless corners, but where is my path?
Zhiyuan came to Ning Chuchu's side and squatted down, "Your Highness, don't be anxious."
"Urgent, if we wait any longer, their children will be able to call me aunt."
"..."
Zhiyuan, who had always been able to comfort people, was speechless at this moment.
…
…
By the pond.
An ZiZai came to Li Chenan's side.
"I don't know why you have made the team move so slowly these past few days...Is there something going on?"
"From Jianmen Pass to here, we saw several villages along the way. The peach trees in the villages are already in bud and there are very few blooms. Spring in Shuzhou is still slightly later than in Jiangnan."
Li Chenan's answer was inappropriate, and An Zizai frowned slightly.
Li Chenan came to Shuzhou, of course, not to enjoy the peach blossoms, but he said this, "Do you want to wait for the peach blossoms to bloom and arrive at Chongqing Mansion?"
"Not really, I'm waiting for some news."
"what news?"
"News from Xishan... In addition, we are also waiting for some people."
Li Chenan didn't say who he was waiting for. He turned and looked at An Zizai, "Uncle An, the temple in Xishan is still there, but there is no one in the temple."
"You said, the old lady asked me to go to Jishan Temple in Xishan to pick up the eldest son of the emperor... Since the eldest son of the emperor is not there, what's the point of us going there in a hurry?"
An Zi was stunned for a moment. Li Chenan's words seemed to make sense, but in fact they didn't.
Even if the eldest son of the emperor is not in Xishan, Zhongli Ruoshui is still in Zhongli Garden!
Based on his understanding of the relationship between the two, Li Chenan probably came to Shuzhou more for Zhongli Ruoshui than for the eldest son of the emperor.
Now that we have entered the territory of Shuzhou, Li Chenan should have rushed to Chongqing Mansion to meet Zhongli Ruoshui more urgently...
What is he worried about?
What does he need to worry about in Shuzhou?
An Zizai's heart skipped a beat. He didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he looked at Li Chenan and said very seriously:
"When I was in Kyoto, after I went to Huaxi Villa to work as the concierge,"
He turned and left, leaving Li Chenan with the last words:
"I think no matter what happens, I am someone worthy of your trust!"
