Chapter 181

East Factory.

Wen Xiaochun came back from visiting the fifth prince in the factory's dungeon.

Following Qu Dubian's instructions, he moved in a batch of storybooks and left some writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone for the Fifth Prince to pass the time.

When passing by the prison where the second prince had lived, it happened that the jailer inside was packing up his things.

The table used by the second prince was carried out, and Wen Xiaochun caught a glimpse of a word on the corner of the table.

He yelled, "Wait."

The jailer stopped and said, "Factory Master."

Wen Xiaochun came over and turned the table. It seemed that someone had rubbed the corner of the table with a small stone, leaving marks.

He wrote the word 'four' in a careless manner.

Then he put a cross on the number 'four' to indicate negation.

The force of the fork's strike was deep, and the scratch was slow, as if he was very hesitant. One could even imagine the person who put the pen to paper with his brows furrowed in thought.

The things that the second prince took to prison were personally selected by Wen Xiaochun. The table was clean and the words were added later, which means that they were written by the second prince.

"Mr. Factory, is there any problem?"

For some reason, Wen Xiaochun felt a slight chill on his spine as he stared at this word.

He said, "Don't take this table away for now, keep it."

The jailer said, "Yes, Mr.

-

All the way to Lingbei.

The further north you go, the more mountainous the roads become.

The mountains are high and steep, with rugged peaks, and the whole scenery is bleak and desolate in winter.

It was now the end of January and the weather in the capital had shown signs of warming up, but the further north they went the colder it became.

Because it was so cold and he had no internal energy to protect himself, Qu Watanabe felt that his poisoned body would stop halfway, so he cancelled the simulation of the bone-breaking poison.

Anyway, it’s okay as long as he is blind, and outsiders won’t come to take his pulse at will.

He experienced the whole experience of taking poison to the fullest. After submitting the three papers, he refused to take poison and never wanted to do it again.

The broken meridians were restored to their original state, and the gentle true energy flowed through the meridians again. The biting coldness on the body was swept away. Qu Watanabe took off the fox fur coat as if he was having fun, wanting to be as casual as Yi Shier——

He was punished by Ye Xiaoyuan and was given two pills for improving eyesight.

Xi Zixing is good at watching the fun and is keen on writing travel notes.

They have to write down what they did and what they ate that day.

He had no internal strength, and even though the carriage was insulated and not cold, his hands would become stiff and cold if he wrote for a long time.

Qu Dubian's attempts to persuade him were useless, so he just left him alone and just got him a heater so that he could hold it while writing.

Without their children to take care of them, the two dogs came to the northern border and went completely crazy.

A little white seemed to have found a second spring in the vast sky and earth of Lingbei. From time to time, he and Jin Lai would find a place to have fun, or they would stay together sweetly, looking at the mountains, rivers, and the world.

Qu Dubian was really concerned about his own people and his dog. He thought that the old couple would catch a cold if they lay on the ground, so he put on the dog clothes he had prepared before.

When passing through towns and villages, they stopped at small inns to rest for two days, gave the waiter some money, and asked him to tell them about the local novelties and unique foods.

Slowly and smoothly, we arrived at Lingbei.

The released members of the Shu family returned to their original homeland under the leadership of Minister Shu and slowly resumed development.

The eldest prince is still working as a centurion. He has a pair of children. His daughter takes after Shu Wenxin, with a calm, intelligent and elegant personality. His son takes after him, with a naturally weak brain, running around all day long.

It was snowing heavily when we arrived, so we didn't have time to find a house to live in.

Qu Dubian temporarily stayed at the eldest prince's house.

The eldest prince's courtyard in Lingbei was much smaller than the one in the capital, but it was comfortable and warm. He picked a small courtyard for Qu Dubian and his party and lit the underground heating.

It gets dark very early here. He brought a plate of freshly cut meat and two jars of wine and came to Qu Dubian's cottage.

Qu Dubian was sitting cross-legged at a small table, eating melon seeds and watching Liu Liu, Xi Zixing and Ye Banban drinking.

When the eldest prince came in, no one was polite and bowed. He sat directly on the edge of the table, put the wine and meat on it, and said with a smile: "Brother, is this courtyard luxurious?"

Qu Watanabe: "That's great. Big brother is living a more comfortable life than in the capital."

The eldest prince agreed and said, "Yes."

He smelled the wine that Yi and the other twelve were drinking and felt disgusted.

"Hey, the wine you drink is tasteless. Come and try the best wine from Lingbei, Fire in the Snow."

Qu Dubian was curious and raised his hand silently, "I want one too."

The eldest prince: "You have only drunk sweet wine since you were a child. This wine is too strong. I will pour you a little bit."

Qu Dubian got half a glass of wine. He lowered his head and smelled it, but didn't smell anything. He tasted a little bit, and a cool breath rolled down the tip of his tongue, passed through his esophagus and stomach, and instantly became hot.

He choked several times.

Ye Xiaoyuan rubbed his back and said helplessly: "I knew it would choke me, but I still had to try it."

Qu Watanabe: "So warm!"

The eldest prince: "Of course, the people in Lingbei rely on this to survive the cold winter."

Qu Dubian sipped the wine bit by bit, and the sliced ​​meat brought by the eldest prince became a good accompaniment to his wine.

"It's nice here, isn't it?" The eldest prince sighed. "When I first came here, I was still complaining about everything and not being able to adapt."

Qu Watanabe: “Yes, it is good.”

The eldest prince laughed out loud.

After three rounds of drinks, everything started to talk.

The eldest prince drank one cup after another, his cheeks turned red and the corners of his eyes also turned red.

He hooked his arm around Qu Watanabe's shoulders.

"The second oldest is gone, the third oldest is useless, the fifth and sixth oldest... let's not talk about them," the eldest prince shook his head and clinked his wine glass with Qu Watanabe's. "In the end, the fourth oldest, who didn't fight or compete, is the biggest winner."

Qu Watanabe: "Thank you for your hard work, Fourth Brother."

The eldest prince was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "You used the word 'hard work', that's right, we are fighting for a hard job."

"The longer I live, the more I feel that some things belong to whoever they belong to. Even if someone else takes them away, they will be returned in various ways in the end."

"Can't hide, can't escape..."

It's still possible to avoid it.

Qu Watanabe thought.

He succeeded.

According to what I had always pursued in my heart, I left the city, smelled the free wind outside the city, and saw the bleak frost and snow in the vast world.

Qu Watanabe: "Brother, you are drunk."

The eldest prince turned his head to look at him and laughed.

"You're drunk too."

The first guy among them to be crowned king had rosy cheeks. No wonder he only drank sweet wine. He would get drunk if he drank strong liquor.

Xiaoqi has been good-looking since he was young, and his red face when he drinks is very attractive.

The eldest prince was rarely worried: "You are almost eighteen years old, don't you want to consider starting a family?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Ye Xiaoyuan, Yi Twelve, and Xi Zixing all looked over, ready to listen to what Qu Duanbian had to say.

Qu Watanabe: “…”

He is an idol, how can an idol fall in love? His love and affection are all for his fans!

After this sentence popped up in his mind, he realized that he was really drunk. With his friends around tonight, the atmosphere of drinking and chatting was so good that he almost forgot what day it was.

Under the candlelight, the drunk and blushing Prince Yong cleared his throat under the gaze of everyone.

"Not considering it."

The eldest prince was very puzzled: "You are old enough and don't want to get married, so you want to be a monk."

As if he had thought of something, he added without any context, "In the military camp, soldiers have a hard time. Many of them don't have the money to ask a matchmaker to find a girl to marry. Instead, they will find their closest buddies and become sworn brothers. They can support each other for the rest of their lives and live like this."

"Brother, I'm telling you this because it's okay if you're gay."

Qu Watanabe: “…”

Yi Twelve covered the corners of his lips with the wine glass and added: "I can choose for Your Highness." The dark web collects information about ordinary people very quickly.

Xizi Xingle clapped his legs in joy, wondering why he hadn't discovered that the eldest prince was so interesting when he was writing the pamphlet before.

The eldest prince is a typical male chauvinist and doesn't quite understand why others don't want to get married.

Ye Xiaoyuan: "Your Highness, are you sure you don't have anyone you like?"

Qu Watanabe was helpless: "Really not."

In fact, he always remembered that he was not a person of this world. When the people close to him passed away and his ties disappeared one by one, that would probably be the time for him to leave this world.

The person who walks with him for his whole life must be his closest person.

There is no resonance of soul and mind, and no way to be honest with each other. Why bother to settle and drag down other people's lives?

And he didn't want to form new and deeper ties here.

No one could understand his occasional loneliness. It was like traveling through time and space, a person looking back in an era thousands of years ago, heading towards a place he came from that he might never be able to reach again.

"Come here, big brother, you are drunk, drink some wine to sober up," Qu Dubian was afraid that the eldest prince would become addicted to urging marriage and say something earth-shattering, so he blocked his mouth with wine and meat.

Except for Qu Dubian and Ye Xiaoyuan who were slightly tipsy, everyone else at the table was drunk.

Yi Twelve usually doesn't drink alcohol, because he has to stay by Qu Du's side, and drinking will hinder his work. But now they are very safe, and they are out for fun, so he drank a lot.

When he was drunk, his face didn't turn red and his heart didn't beat fast. He sat upright, as if nothing had happened.

But he did whatever others told him to do, and Qu Watanabe asked him to sing several songs.

Not to mention, Liuliu sings very well, her voice is soft, a little hoarse from drinking, and she seems gentle and magnetic.

You know, it’s hard to get him to say a few words normally, and continuous singing service is probably a treatment he only gets after he’s drunk.

Qu Dubian was lying on the carpet next to the desk, listening to the conversation until he fell asleep.

His mind was drifting, his thoughts were flying around in his head, and he suddenly said: "I actually have someone I love deeply..."

Except for the sound of Yi Twelve singing, all other movements came to an abrupt halt.

Ye Xiaoyuan silently covered Yi Twelve's mouth. The latter reacted belatedly, his eyes cleared for a moment, and he looked at his own prince who was drunk on the ground.

The flame of gossip ignited in the eldest prince's eyes.

When sober, he said he didn't like anyone, but when drunk, he said he did. Xiao Qi must be so in love with someone that he couldn't get her. Who the hell is she?

Xi Zixing asked in silence: "Who is it?"

Qu Watanabe: "When I left, she was seventy-five years old..."

When the others realized that he was talking nonsense, the eldest prince said: "???"

She? Or him?

The eldest prince was drunk, and after realizing that this was not a matter of gender, he broke down and cried, "No, no."

"Brother, love something younger!"

Qu Dubian was already half asleep and half awake, and was completely unaware. He only heard a very noisy noise in his ears.

He turned over on the carpet, resting his head on Ye Xiaoyuan's legs, and found a comfortable position.

"I love her dearly..."

Motherland.
