Sun Simiao smiled, looked at Li Hong and said: "Be careful not to get angry while you are recovering from your injuries, otherwise it will be detrimental to the healing of the wound. Although His Highness the Crown Prince is just over ten years old, the old Taoist can still feel that His Highness's body is He is strong and healthy, so there is no need to worry. How about returning to Taiyi City after the sutures are removed in a few days?”

"You have said so, how can you not obey?" Li Hong glanced at Wu Mei, obviously thinking of going back.

"Zong Chuke is still waiting outside, is he...?"

At such an old age, Sun Simiao could still think about his old friend. Li Hong raised his eyelids, looked at him and said, "Let him come in. It just so happens that I can explain things to him sometimes."

"Well, Your Majesty the Queen and the Crown Prince, the old man will take his leave first." After saying that, he stood up and walked out accompanied by Xia Zhi.

After a while, Zong Chuke followed Xia Zhi in with a somewhat nervous look. He bowed and saluted Wu Mei first and said, "My dear Zong Chuke has met the Queen and His Highness the Crown Prince. I pray for His Highness."

"These are useless words. Just pray that my injury will be cured. The first time you came to see me, your hands were empty. This time, they are still empty. My queen mother is still here. Zong Chuke, you are so embarrassed to come empty-handed. ?" Li Hong hugged the soft quilt and deliberately teased Zong Chuke, trying to temporarily not think about Bai Lu and Xiao Han.

"The minister's family is really in a tight situation..."

"Okay, stop it. I'm too lazy to listen to you crying about poverty. Now I'm lying here, looking at you, looking at you, and asking you questions. Let's give you a task. Find the prince Qingdao Lulu and his wife. Sir, ask them to cooperate with you in inspecting all inns and other places with a large floating population in Taiyi City. Every inn is registered, so check carefully. "

"Yes, Your Highness." Zong Chuke responded hurriedly, and over there, Hua Menghe wrote the prince's will and put it in a sealed envelope, and at the same time handed him a token of the prince.

Wu Mei watched Zong Chuke leave after saluting. She glanced worriedly at Li Hong, who was still pale, and asked, "Do you think he came from Taiyi City?"

"I don't know, I'll just hit him with a stick if I have dates or not. Oops." He received another slap on the head.

"I've just woken up and started acting inappropriately." After Wu Mei finished spanking, she immediately gave her a sweet date and rubbed the ponytail that had just been combed by Xia Zhi.

"Hey, let's wait for Bai Chun and Lawless and see what they can find out." Li Hong said with a smile.

Wu Mei looked at him with a puzzled look on her face. Li Hong was about to get hairy when she stared at him. Wu Mei then said slowly: "What can Bai Chun find out? She doesn't care about Taiyi City like you. She ran out." How to check?"

Li Hong was stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "Isn't it true that after the six princes led two thousand people each, there were two thousand more people. They happened to be responsible for the security of Taiyi City, so they were handed over to Bai Chun."

Wu Mei glanced at him in disbelief. The little thing must be hiding something from him, but as long as the little thing doesn't tell you, you can't even think of asking. But I guess it's not important enough for Bai Chun to take care of it. Where to go? It's probably a matter of his one-third of an acre of land in Taiyi City.

Wu Mei didn't bother to pursue him. Just when she was about to speak, she saw two people coming in after Xia Zhi opened the door. They were Li Hong's two slaves. They seemed to be called "hardworking and uncomplaining" and walked in awkwardly.

"What are you two doing here?" Li Hong asked curiously. If you don't stay in the restricted area, why are you here

Standing at the door, Ren Lai Ren Yan nervously saluted Wu Mei under Xia Zhi's instructions, and then rubbed his hands and said, "I heard that you were injured, so I came to see you and built a car for you overnight. Save you..."

While the two were talking, a... wheelchair was pushed in from outside

Li Hong saw the two people slowly pushing in with awkward smiles, and his face suddenly turned green. Sitting on the bedside, he felt as angry as when his mother beat him!

He picked up a pillow from the head of the bed and threw it out: "My shoulder is injured, and my legs and feet are injured. Have you ever seen someone with an arm injured and unable to walk? You are cursing me if you give me a wheelchair." Really? Get up, no one can stop me, I will kill you both..."

Wu Mei looked at Li Hong, whose face was turning green with anger, throwing things on the bed randomly, and suddenly laughed out of breath.

It’s no wonder that she works hard, but she is also to blame. After Li Hong was injured and fell into a coma yesterday, he was too nervous, and suddenly felt that Li Hong needed this. Unexpectedly, his house slave would tinker with it in one night. , and planned to reward these two people after Li Hong took the seat.

Now being reminded by Li Hong, he immediately knew that the wheelchair had nothing to do with his injuries. He burst into laughter and made everyone in the room feel a little overwhelmed.

Li Hong looked at his mother, then at the wheelchair, and immediately understood the reason for the matter. If his mother hadn't instigated this matter, he would have driven the two of them out and imprisoned them long ago due to her temperament. Cursing the prince could be considered disrespectful, but if it was her order, it would be a different matter.

"Okay, Hong'er, don't be angry. This matter is due to the Queen mother's poor thinking. I don't blame you. Just stay here to recuperate. I received your father's order early this morning. I'm afraid he has already On the way to Taiyi City, the Queen Mother will go back to Taiyi City first, and then the Queen Mother will bring your father over to see you." Wu Mei finally stopped smiling and said to Li Hong.

"Oh, I know, I will take you out there." Li Hong got up from the bed with the support of Xia Zhi and Xiaoxue, and slowly walked out of the room with Wu Mei.

Walking on the stone road of Zongsheng Palace, Prince Liuliu, who was already heavily guarded and wearing armor, had put the entire Zongsheng Palace under martial law since yesterday. There were not many people in Zongsheng Palace. At this moment, it seems even more deserted.

Watching Wu Mei slowly walking out accompanied by the other maids, Wu Mei suddenly stopped and walked back to Li Hong. She looked at Li Hong and said solemnly: "People cannot be resurrected after death. Bai Lu and Xiao Han, you have always treated them well." It's not bad, the Queen Mother also sees it, they are very satisfied to leave in your arms, so Hong'er, you must not be sad anymore, the Queen Mother will send you two in a few days, just like them... ”

"I would like to thank you, Queen Mother. I won't talk about this for now. I have grown up now. Xia Zhi and Xiaoxue are enough. If I need it, I will ask you, Queen Mother." Li Hongqiang said with a smile.

"Well, I'll listen to you. The little thing has an idea now, but it's the right idea to play with you. The Queen Mother has taken care of you for so many years, but in the end, she still hasn't taken care of you, the little thing. I'm sorry to the Tang Dynasty. ." Wu Mei recalled the scenes with Li Hong over the years, and couldn't help but fall into it, unable to extricate herself for a long time.

Looking at Wu Mei's leaving figure, Li Hong, carefully accompanied by Xia Zhi and Xiaoxue, slowly walked in the Zongsheng Palace. There was already a trace of warmth under the rising sun, and the gentle wind lingered in the air. Son, it makes people feel lazy unconsciously.

Looking from afar, in front of a temple in Zongsheng Palace, stood a Taoist priest in green robes.

Li Hong squinted his eyes and took a look. He saw the Taoist priest looking at him with a smile, and then slowly walked towards the Taoist priest. The Taoist priest saw him coming and also hurriedly walked towards Li Hong.

As he walked, he asked Xia Zhi: "Where are Bai Lu and Xiao Han settled?"

"Master, Bai Lu and Xiao Han have been sent back to Taiyi City. After you recover from your injuries, you can go and see them."

"Yes." Li Hong's eyes flashed with pain, he nodded silently, and walked forward leisurely.

Before the Taoist priest could reach Li Hong, he was stopped by Hua Meng and others from a distance. Since being injured yesterday, Hua Meng and others have protected Li Hong even more closely and will never allow strangers to approach Li Hong. Within ten steps.

After Li Hong signaled, Hua Meng slowly turned sideways and motioned for the Taoist priest to come over, but his eyes and several others kept watching the Taoist priest warily.

The Taoist priest walked quickly to Li Hong, struck the crook of his arm with a whisk, and saluted, "The poor Taoist Li Chunfeng has met His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Li Chunfeng... Taoist priest?" Li Hong was stunned for a moment and almost shouted Li Chunfeng's name.

"It's Pindao." Li Chunfeng was already over sixty at this time. His expression and energy were full of vitality, like a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties.

The two of them were walking in the Zongsheng Palace one after another. Li Hong held Li Chunfeng's fly whisk in his right hand and swept it aimlessly in the air.

The whisk is a magical instrument from Chinese Buddhism. It is not only a weapon, but also a symbol of clearing away troubles.

Li Chunfeng didn't mind Li Hong who took the fly whisk from his arm, and asked with a smile: "Is your Highness worried?"

Li Hong ignored him and just played with the whisk in his hand, saying calmly: "By the way, one day I will give you a whisk. It's Taiyi Chen. It's much better than the one you made with horse tail. It's all white. It’s pretty.”

"So... I would like to thank Your Highness." Li Chunfeng was stunned for a moment and said.

"By the way, I have something else I want to ask you. It is said that on the day I was born, you once said a prophecy, saying that the fifth prince was the reincarnation of the Supreme Lord and became the master of mankind, under the pseudonym Li Hong, to save all living beings. Oh, by the way. "It's said that "Lao Jun should rule and Li Hong should step out," right?" Li Hong stopped and turned to look at Li Chunfeng, who was half a step behind him, and asked.

Li Chunfeng did not appear too surprised. He looked at his feet, smiled calmly, and said: "If you believe the words of Taoist disciples, you have them, but if you don't believe them, you don't. Why would your Highness impose this prophecy on poor Taoists?"

"What you said is very light. My father and mother named me, isn't it a prophecy?" Li Hong continued to walk forward.

This was indeed the case back then. In the days before he was born, the prophecy of "Lao Jun should rule and Li Hong should come out" had been circulating in Manchang'an. When Li Zhi and Wu Mei named their eldest son, there was indeed The meaning should be prophesied.

Li Chunfeng still followed with a smile, thought for a moment and said: "Although this prophecy did not come from Chunfeng's mouth, it has its own destiny. Your Highness, as the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty and the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, shouldn't you? Got the prophecy.”

"Well, that's right. But tell me, people in the green forests and grasslands often use Li Hong's name to carry out rebellion. So what? How many innocent souls have you made among the people with just one word? "Li Hong threw away the whisk and Li Chunfeng said.

Li Chunfeng's face froze. He had never expected this. When Li Hong said this, his expression suddenly became unnatural.

"So, sometimes you can eat random things, but you can't say random words, it will kill someone." Li Hong said easily.

Li Chunfeng bowed to Li Hong sincerely and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is indeed well-deserved for his kindness and filial piety. I admire him very much."

"Forget it, let's not talk about that useless thing. In fact, if I didn't run into you today, I would still plan to find you. The "Ten Sutras" that you authored back then can no longer keep up with the pace of the Tang Dynasty. You have your "Armillary Sphere" for observing celestial bodies. Are you still interested in it? As for your "Three Yuan Zhen Jing" and "History of the Five Dynasties", I'm not interested. What do you think? Are you interested in going to Chang'an with me? Of course, your armillary sphere is now out of date. I guess you know the glass in Taiyi City, so you haven’t thought about seeing the sky through it. Maybe you can see very far? "Yeah." Li Hong said with a half-smile.

But Li Chunfeng was shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect that the prince knew him so well. Except for the "Tui Bei Tu" co-authored by his senior brother Yuan Tiangang, he knew all the works in his life. .

As for the "Ten Sutras" and the armillary sphere for measuring celestial bodies, especially the "Ten Sushu Sutra", it was employed by the Imperial College in the early years to educate students of the Tang Dynasty.

I had heard before that His Highness the Prince's own "Arithmetic" had completely surpassed his "Ten Sutras" and was now employed by the Imperial College, Chongwen Hall, and Hongwen Hall. Now it seems that it is not groundless.

As for the armillary sphere that measures celestial bodies, judging from the prince's expression, it is obvious that he also has extraordinary research on the image of heaven, otherwise, he would not just point it out.

"His Royal Highness is truly an outstanding figure in the world, and Chunfeng admires it. The "Ten Divisions of Calculation" had already taken a lot of effort from Pindao back then. Now if he wants to improve it further, I am afraid that he has more ambition than strength. What's more, Pindao has already heard about it, Your Highness. Your book "Arithmetic" has already surpassed Pindao, Your Highness, please stop making fun of Pindao," Li Chunfeng said solemnly.

No matter what others say, Li Hong can hold his own without blushing, but for someone like Li Chunfeng, from the perspective of his previous life, he is also a scientific giant of this era. His life's achievements in his previous life are absolutely no match for Nuo. I can win several Bell Prizes.

Erpilian blushed a little and felt a little embarrassed after being praised by such a master of the era.

Shaking his head, Xia Zhi hurriedly and nervously followed, fearing that His Highness the Crown Prince might be unwell.

But Li Hong waved his hand to indicate that he had nothing to do. He tilted his head and thought deeply, thinking that it would be better to change the subject. In this era, astronomy and calendars are almost in the same category as gods, ghosts and ghosts. They are all mysterious species, and his half-baked knowledge of astronomy is just that. Not to mention.

If there are Li Chunfeng and another famous magic stick Yuan Tiangang, if the two of them can tinker with something, it will probably be a shocking work. From an academic point of view, it will definitely be more important than nine reincarnations and ten lives. many.

He ignored "Tui Bei Tu" because he had a guilty conscience. He was a person of nine reincarnations and ten generations, and the trajectory of history was also deviating. "Tui Bei Tu" co-authored by these two magicians Is it still so efficacious and mysterious

However, Li Chunfeng looked like he was very interested in glass. He was already very interested when he heard Li Hong explain that this glass can be used as eyes.

"Which is the highest peak in Taiyi Mountain?" Li Hong asked, holding an awning with his hands and looking at the lush green mountains surrounding Zongsheng Palace.

The two of them had unknowingly arrived at Lou Guan Terrace, which was the best viewing spot in the whole place, otherwise it would not have been named after Lou Guan Terrace.

At the beginning, there was a saying: "There are hundreds of rivers and mountains in Guanzhong, of which Zhongnan is the best; Zhongnan has thousands of miles of verdant greenery, and the tower view is the best."

Li Hong ignored Li Chunfeng who was still looking around, and stood next to a piece of bluestone paved with a Bagua furnace that was said to be used by Taishang Laojun to make alchemy in the middle. He said: "When the time comes, I will build an armillary sphere for you here to observe celestial bodies. I am not bragging about the current craftsmanship of Ether City. When it is built, it will be too late for you to thank me. "

Li Chunfeng looked up at the blue sky, then looked at the lush mountains and trees around him, and murmured: "It is indeed the best observation point. In this way, Pindao can uncover the mystery of the way of heaven."

After Li Chunfeng finished speaking, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. He was stunned for a moment and hurriedly lowered his head, looking at Li Hong who was smiling but not smiling. He shook his head helplessly and said with a bitter smile: "His Royal Highness, you have a wonderful plan. I am already sixty years old, but I can still be the crown prince." His Highness favors you, and I am very worried. I am just afraid that I am too weak now and will miss the important event of His Highness."

"It doesn't matter, as far as the Dao of Heaven is concerned, no big or small thing in the world is a big deal. If you have a glimpse of the Dao of Heaven, you can understand the great road. Back then, the Holy Ancestor was able to ride an ox out of Hangu and realize that the Tao is natural. If you learn from him, just in case Let you realize the way of heaven or something?" Li Hong's shoulders felt a little uncomfortable, and Xia Zhi hurriedly took his other arm and walked to the palace.

Li Chunfeng followed beside him and couldn't help but continue to shake his head and smile bitterly. In just a few words, the prince relieved all the pressure on himself. Isn't it enough to just let you play in Louguantai

As Li Hong came to the palace specially reserved for Li Hong, Li Chunfeng looked at the strict guards and knew how important this prince was to the hearts of the current emperor and empress.

Every soldier looked at him as if they were staring at a thief, or as if they were looking at an enemy on the battlefield, always wary of his every move.

If he dares to pat His Highness the Crown Prince on the shoulder now, he will probably be shot into a hedgehog by the crossbows in the hands of these people!

Li Chunfeng naturally had in-depth research on medicine. After Li Hong sat down, he helped open the bandage on the injured shoulder and gently wiped away the blood that seeped out of the wound before Sun Simiao came.
