Capital Datang

Chapter 525 Cai'er's Quick Wisdom

"Brother Jiu, would you like to try the octopus grilled by the master chef on the boat? It's really delicious!" Sizi held a bamboo stick with both hands, and a few grilled octopus were skewered on the bamboo stick. Although it was full, it was still gnawing on the octopus on the bamboo stick, and the small mouth was all shiny with oil.

"Uh~, take it away! Take it away! Ugh~" As soon as Li Zhi saw the crooked octopus on the bamboo sticks, he thought of the intestines and viscera that were dissected on Guiwai Island, and then thought of those dissected octopuses. Belly, corpse lying on the dissecting table.This made him push away Sizi's hand all at once, and then ran to the side of the boat and crawled there retching.

Seeing Brother Nine's appearance, Sizi was puzzled. Since Brother Nine went out with that Mr. Lu yesterday, he couldn't eat anymore when he came back. It's already noon, but Brother Nine has already It was four meals that were not eaten.

At this moment, Cai'er came to the deck, and the maid behind her was carrying a tray with a small bowl on it. The bowl was still covered, so I couldn't see what was in it?When Cai'er saw Li Zhi retching, she immediately ran forward and patted him on the back, waited until Li Zhi stopped vomiting, and then asked someone to wash his mouth with water.

Li Zhiqiang rinsed his mouth with energy, and then sat down on the chair on the deck. From noon yesterday until now, he hasn't eaten a single grain of rice, and his whole body is about to collapse from hunger.Yesterday's visit made him feel shadowed, so he vomited whatever he ate, even porridge, and now he didn't feel hungry in his stomach, his whole body was slack and he didn't have any strength, he just sat there panting.Capital Datang 525

Seeing Li Zhi's weak state, Cai'er's eyes flashed with heartache, and she beckoned the maid beside her to come over.Then he took off the bowl on the tray, and said softly to Li Zhi: "Jiulang. How can a person survive without eating? This is the lotus root powder I bought in Dengzhou. I added some sugar and boiled it. It is most suitable for people with weak health." , you have a taste!"

"Cai...Cai'er, I really don't have an appetite!" Li Zhi said weakly, he was suffering from a heart attack, and the imperial doctor on the ship had seen it just now, and he just prescribed some appetizing "medicine", but unfortunately there is no effect yet .

"Jiulang, you'd better eat some. The lotus root powder has no peculiar smell, and it tastes like white water. I think you won't vomit anymore!" Cai'er persuaded again.She knew that when Li Zhi and Lu Hong went out yesterday, they must have seen something, but Li Zhi didn't want to talk about it, so she didn't ask further.

"Ninth brother, do you want to eat lotus root powder, if you don't eat it, don't waste it, let me eat it!" Sizi said with a smile at this time.She hadn't finished eating the grilled octopus in her hand, but she felt a little thirsty at this moment, so she said so.

Li Zhi glared at the heartless Sizi angrily, raised his heavy hand to take the lotus root powder and said, "Of course I will eat it. But Sizi, you have to turn around and don't let me see you eat it." Octopus!"

It's not that Li Zhi deliberately found fault, but that he really couldn't bear it.The appearance of octopus is not good-looking, it is soft and sticky like the internal organs of animals.In addition, it was meat again, which made Li Zhi feel even more uncomfortable.That's why this request is made.

"Turn around, just turn around!" Sizi made a face at Li Zhi, and then swallowed another small octopus, which made Li Zhi feel sick again.

After finally waiting for Li Zhi to calm down the nausea in his stomach, he put the lotus root powder in his mouth, first took a small sip, and found that, as Caier said, this thing is clear and has no peculiar smell , and the white sugar that Cai'er puts is not much, it tastes similar to white water.

Although Li Zhi couldn't eat, he could still drink water, so he didn't vomit anymore because of this bowl of white water-like lotus root noodles, but ate it all in a few mouthfuls.As a result, after eating a bowl of hot lotus root powder, Li Zhi felt that his whole body regained some vitality, and his hands and feet were not as limp as before.

Seeing that Li Zhi really finished eating the lotus root noodles she made, Cai'er was also very happy, stood up excitedly and walked back, saying: "Jiulang wait a moment, I'll make you another bowl when I go back!"

Li Zhi was so hungry that he didn't feel hungry anymore, but this bowl of lotus root powder aroused the hunger in his stomach, so he didn't stop when he heard Cai'er's words.On the other hand, Si Zi, who turned around and was eating octopus, heard it, and immediately shouted: "Sister Cai'er, make me one too!"

"Understood!" Before Cai'er finished speaking, she rushed into the cabin and brought out several bowls of lotus root noodles in a short while, but Li Zhi ate most of them.After regaining his energy, Li Zhi remembered that the situation on Lu Hong's side was probably similar to his own, so he asked Cai'er for some lotus root powder and asked someone to send it to Lu Hong.

The trip to Ghost Crying Island left a serious psychological shadow on Li Zhi. For example, Li Zhi still only ate vegetarian food until their ship arrived in Jincheng, and he did not touch meat at all, and this habit has a tendency to continue.

Jincheng was Li Zhi's last stop in Samhan. Compared with Sibicheng, although Jincheng was the original capital of Silla, it developed slowly. It was similar to the scene when Li Yin arrived here, except that most of the roads in the city were A concrete road was built, and several concrete buildings were built, but most of the others remained unchanged.

Li Zhi and I disembarked from a small port not far from Jincheng, and then drove to Jincheng, but when their carriage was about to arrive in Jincheng, Sizi who was in the same carriage as Li Zhi said, "Ninth Brother, Do you think Fifth Brother will welcome us?"

"Him?" Li Zhi curled his lips after hearing this, "I don't know his temper yet, this time we go to Jincheng, we probably won't even see his face, even if we take the initiative to meet him, he will probably avoid us! "

At the beginning, Li You coveted the throne so much that he even rebelled against him. Unfortunately, in the end, he, Li Chengqian and Li Tai were both fetching water from bamboo baskets, and the crown prince fell to him instead. If the two sides meet, it will definitely make Li You very upset. Embarrassment, coupled with Li Zhi's familiarity with Li You's temperament, that's why he dared to conclude that Li You would definitely not see him.

"Huh~, why is that?" Although Sizi is smart, she is still young after all, and she doesn't know much about human affairs.

Li Zhi just wanted to speak, but Cai'er gave him a wink, and then took Sizi's hand and smiled: "The reason is very simple. At the beginning, His Highness the King of Shu was confused and did something that was sorry to the royal family. Nian already knew his mistake, but he was ashamed in his heart, so he didn't want to see members of the royal family, don't look at him now as the governor of his cousin, but he often avoids his cousin, let alone us!"

Li Zhi was taken aback when he heard Cai'er's words, and then he understood, knowing that Cai'er didn't want Sizi to know the intrigue between their brothers, lest Sizi's innocent and kind heart be covered with a layer of dust, so he said the lies above.

"Haha, that's right, fifth brother is a person who wants to save face and suffer. If he can write a confession letter to father and then ask sixth brother to plead for mercy, maybe father will have pardoned his crime long ago." Li Zhi thought He laughed deliberately here, and at the same time looked at Cai'er with gratitude. Sizi is his most beloved little sister, and he naturally hopes that Sizi can live happily every day, so these ugliness in the palace still make people feel sad. It is better for the si son to have less contact with it.

Sizi nodded thoughtfully after hearing this, and said after a while: "Since the fifth brother knows his mistake, then Sizi will tell Father this time when he goes back this time, so that Father should not be angry again, and he will soon be over Fifth brother recalled Chang'an."

"Son, don't be too fussy, let Fifth Brother stay here for a few more years!" Li Zhiyi hurriedly waved his hands.Although his position as the crown prince has been secured now, but Li You is a [-], if Sizi really persuaded his father and recalled him to Chang'an, what might happen?

"Why?" Si Zi was puzzled.

This time it was Cai'er who laughed and said, "Why is our son so confused? Now the king of Shu is serving as the governor under his cousin, in charge of North Korea and China. If the King of Shu recalls him back, then there will be no one for my cousin to use here, son, you don’t want your cousin to worry about this matter, do you?”

Hearing Cai'er's words, Sizi immediately stuck out his tongue mischievously, and then said with a smile: "Sizi forgot, since sixth brother needs fifth brother, let fifth brother stay for a few more years, anyway Sixth Brother is very kind to everyone, and he will definitely not let Fifth Brother and the others suffer!"

Seeing that his doll is so easy to deceive, Li Zhi couldn't help being a little funny, and also admired Cai'er's quick wit, but he was a little surprised that he didn't tell Cai'er about these political matters, but he didn't. Considering that she is so clear about the joints, it seems that some people's political sensitivity is indeed born.

Sure enough, as Li Zhi expected, when their convoy arrived in Jincheng, Li You, who should have received the news long ago, did not come to greet them.What surprised both Li Zhi and Sizi was that Li You's wife, Wei Shi, brought their eldest son Li Dao to meet them outside the city gate, which made Sizi very happy, especially seeing the young Li Daoshi, who was two years old, was even more excited. While forcing the other party to call him aunt, he gave the other party the snacks he brought.

And Li Zhi was also a little surprised by this, although it was Webster and Li Dao who came now, but this showed a problem, that is, their mother and son must have obtained Li You's permission, otherwise it would be absolutely impossible to come out to greet them.This discovery made Li Zhi a little strange, because it didn't fit Li You's "temper" at all. Could it be possible that Li You really changed his "temper" after staying overseas for a few years?

But no matter how strange Li Zhi is, etiquette cannot be abandoned, especially since this is not the Tang Dynasty, so his status as the prince is not very important, so he first saluted to Webster, and then gave some gifts to his nephew Li Dao, Only then did they enter Jincheng together, but they just don't know what gains are waiting for them here?
