Chapter 13 1 Same departure

Granny Yaotai's punishment is very simple, she just walks in the yard obediently and takes a break every three hours.

Si He was actually able to hold on, but he was worried that he would be humiliated by the crowd, but fortunately, the servants were told away by Mrs. Si and left the private courtyard for him to practice, which made him feel relieved.

The midsummer cicadas chirped one after another, and there was an impetuous atmosphere in the air.Si He's legs had already started to tremble, and he seemed to be unable to hold on anymore. He was about to fall to his knees, but someone behind him said, "Punishment?"

The voice was somewhat familiar, but he was sure it wasn't Lu Yu.

That is……

When he turned his head, he saw a man wearing a heavy cloak standing under the ginkgo tree behind him. The hood covered his brows and eyes, and only a pair of thin lips were exposed under the shadow.

Si He was startled, and couldn't help standing up straight: "You are... the second prince of Qi Kingdom? What are you doing here?"

"How did you recognize it?" Ji Wanghuai put down his hood, raised his eyebrows and said, "I thought you couldn't recognize me."

"It's very simple," Si He said calmly, "Because of your hair, the shape of your mouth, and your voice, I will never forget it."

"Excellent." Ji Wanghuai said succinctly, which was regarded as a compliment.

"Hahaha," Si He couldn't help laughing, and joked, "Actually, it's because in this summer, you are the only one wrapped up like a cicada pupa in a thick robe."

Although he has only met Ji Wanghuai three times, his intuition tells him that Ji Wanghuai is different from Lu Yu.

Although the two are both princes, Ji Wanghuai is obviously more approachable than Lu Yu, as can be seen from the way he talks to his two subordinates.

Ji Wanghuai has no airs, always calls himself "I", unlike Lu Yu, who always puts on his prince's identity wherever he goes.

"So that's how it is," Ji Wanghuai's face was still calm, obviously not interested in Si He's jokes at all, Si He was naturally bored, and couldn't even say a witty line: "Hey, I still have to practice, don't bother me, If there is anything else, wait until I finish practicing."

He didn't want to be caught by Granny Yaotai again and punished for one more day, that would be enough for him.

"Qinggong?" Ji Wanghuai frowned and sized him up, and said seriously: "You are too old, you have to practice Qinggong since you were young, you just started learning it now, it's too difficult."

"What's so difficult about it?" Si He said nonchalantly, "My life is long, but I just spent several times more time than ordinary people."

Ji Wanghuai wanted to say a few more words, but seeing Si He's serious face, he felt embarrassed to hit him again.

"Then you practice, and I have something to ask you after you finish."

After saying that, he leaned against the tree to watch Si He practice.

Si He has never learned much kung fu, and his limbs are much stiffer than theirs, but Si He still endures silently, Ji Wanghuai can see that Si He is on the verge of collapse, this is already his The limit is reached.

He and Si He only met a few times, once in the palace and once in the cave, so he didn't spend much time alone with Si He, not even having time for a cup of tea, so naturally he didn't know Si He well.

In his impression, Si He was a suave and suave son of an official family, with nothing special about him, and if there was anything special about him, it might be that he was a good painter.

"Your body is not suitable for practicing kung fu." After watching for a while, Ji Wanghuai finally couldn't help but said: "Your body is too thin to bear it."

"How do you know that many things are not suitable if you haven't tried them?" Si He was almost unable to hold on, but when he heard Ji Wanghuai's words, he was happy: "It's like you clearly know that it is very possible that I told you about the miracle doctor." I lied to you, but you are still willing to try it for the prince; everyone said that my body is not suitable for practicing kung fu, but I still persevere hard and want to try again, the reason is the same."

"There is nothing suitable or not, only whether you are willing or not."

After saying that, Si He smiled at Ji Wanghuai, obviously enjoying the exercise.

Ji Wanghuai didn't speak, but his eyes became unpredictable.

……

After Si He finished practicing, he shook his legs comfortably, twisted his neck, looked up to the sky and laughed three times, only then remembered that there was still Ji Wanghuai behind him.

He turned his head in some embarrassment, Ji Wanghuai was standing against the tree, was gathering his brocade robe, expressionless.

"Second prince, do you want to sit in the house?" Si He also had good intentions, thinking that Ji Wanghuai was also the prince of Qiguo anyway, so it wouldn't be good to let others wait outside.

"No need." Ji Wanghuai was obviously a little surprised by Si He's hospitality. At first, he thought that they tied Si He to the attic without saying a word, and Si He would hate them for a while, but he didn't expect that it seemed like nothing happened here at all. same happens.

"Then...then what are you going to say?" Si He swallowed secretly, his handle was still in Ji Wanghuai's hands, if Ji Wanghuai announced the matter to the public, he would be on the cutting board Fish.

"Who told you about the miracle doctor in Linxiu County." Ji Wanghuai stared at him with unfathomable eyes.

"Uh..." Si He started to find something to say, "Well, let's go inside and talk, it's too hot outside, I'm almost out of breath..."

"Jiuqing went to investigate, and said that a group of people just happened to inquire about this some time ago." Ji Wanghuai asked with a half-smile, "Is it yours?"

"I don't have anyone..." Si He smiled wryly, "I just heard it blindly. Why, the news is inaccurate?"

"Quite," Ji Wanghuai still had no emotion on his face, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him: "You leaked the secrets of your Fourth Highness at will, what do you want?"

"I think I've made it very clear before," Si He said seriously, "I'm not from Lu Yu, nor from the Crown Prince. Whom I want to help depends on my mood."

The atmosphere was a little delicate for a while, the two of them didn't speak at the same time, only the sound of cicadas could be heard.

After a long time, Ji Wanghuai said: "Okay, then you go to Linxiu County with us."

"..." Si He pointed at himself in disbelief, "Why...you want me to..."

"Jiuqing Yujiang and I are not familiar with Chengguo." Ji Wanghuai said seriously, even begging for help in an orderly tone, "You are familiar with it, you come with us."

"Why!" Si He protested: "Didn't your subordinate go there before! You just follow him!"

"You don't have to go." Ji Wanghuai took a deep look at him, then turned around and tapped the wall with his toes, turned over and jumped, and with the help of a branch, Ji Wanghuai standing on the top of the tree with black hair flying , he turned around and licked the corner of his mouth: "You don't want your identity as a magician to be known by your fourth highness."

"you……"

Si He wanted to catch up, but Ji Wanghuai had already stepped on the clear clouds and disappeared without a trace.

"Is there such a person?" Si He's teeth itched angrily, but there was nothing he could do.

At first he thought that Ji Wanghuai was better than Lu Yu, but now it seems that he is the same thing!

……

Si He asked for leave from Yaotai's mother-in-law, made up a nonsensical reason, and said a lot of good things to Mrs. Si, and then went to the Jinyu Inn to look for Ji Wanghuai.

It was still a stick of incense away from the appointed time, Ji Wanghuai had already packed up and sat in the room drinking tea and waiting, Yu Jiang was writing a secret note and prepared to send a letter to the palace to explain the recent situation, nine Qing wandered around the room with nothing to do, and still ran to sit down next to Ji Wanghuai without giving up, and asked wonderingly: "Second Highness, why did we ask that Mr. Si to come with us? How many days have we known each other? Why do you trust him, Second Highness?"

"I didn't take him because I believed him," Ji Wanghuai took a sip of tea, and said slowly, "I took him because I didn't believe him."

"Lu Yu told him about the miracle doctor in Linxiu County." Ji Wanghuai frowned and said, "Lu Yu is scheming and has a lot of city power. He must think the same as us about this matter."

"Then..." Jiuqing scratched his head, "What does that have to do with Mr. Si?"

"You are so stupid," Yu Jiang was writing on the table, and replied without raising his head, "Everyone in Mocheng knows that Lu Yu and Si He are friends, even though Si He said he would not help anyone Don't tell him he's lying to us, if we meet Lu Yu or something happens halfway, Si He is in our hands, and we have a way out."

"You..." Jiu Qing widened his eyes, and asked in disbelief, "You both know about this, why don't I know?"

Seeing him like this, Ji Wanghuai just smiled and didn't speak.

The three of them were making up their minds when they heard someone knocking heavily on the door. From the sound, they knew that it was the Mr. Si who had arrived.

Ji Wanghuai got up and opened the door, it was indeed Si He.

"Since everyone is here," Ji Wanghuai didn't care about the resentment on Si He's face, and walked out the door on his own.

"Then let's go—"
