Su Ziluo
On the wheelchair!
The man wore a silver crown embedded with jewels and a long black robe. His eyebrows were even, and he exuded a gentle and ethereal aura.
His handsome face looked as if it had been sculpted. His eyes were as cold as the stars, but they were as warm as water. It could be said that his temples were like knives, his eyebrows were like ink, and his face was like a peach.
It was a pity that his legs were crippled.
The attendant standing to the side took the wheel and pushed the man into the room.
The wheels of the cart rumbled as it entered the room!
Su Ziluo paused and raised his hand from his sleeve, signaling the attendant to leave.
Xiao Luzi saw this and bowed to Su Ziluo, calling him "Teacher Su".
He also followed him out and closed the door.
Only the two of them were left in the room.
Su Ziluo looked at Li Shiyan's ashen face and faintly smiled.
With one hand, he picked up the teapot on the table and poured a cup of tea.
He lowered his eyes and asked, "Heir, have you had enough fun?"
His tone was like silk. Warm as jade!
Li Shiyan clenched his fists and punched his thighs.
He looked at Su Ziluo and asked, "Is it my father's order?"
"Yes!"
"Then pretend you didn't see me. I'll go back myself when I'm done."
Su Ziluo did not say anything and took a sip of tea.
Li Shiyan became anxious. "Ziluo, you and I grew up together. You know I can't stand being watched all day. At home, my father's guards are everywhere. Now that I've managed to sneak out, please let me play for a few more days!"
"You've been away for three months. You should have traveled enough."
"Not enough, not enough!" Li Shiyan hurriedly said. His face fell and he put on a pitiful expression. "You came to the capital under the King's orders to discuss the matter between the two countries, right? Since that's the case, why bother with me? "
"No!"
Su Ziluo tossed aside the teacup in his hand and raised his crescent moon-like eyes. "Before leaving for Great Lin, Marquis Kangding specifically instructed me to bring you back to Qujiang. Since I was entrusted with a task, I must be loyal. Crown Prince, please follow me back."
"Why are you still so stubborn?!"
Li Shiyan was furious!
Su Ziluo, on the other hand, was calm and composed. He rested his elbows on the armrests of his wheelchair and clasped his hands together.
There was also the praise of 'walking like orchids and jade trees, smiling like the bright moon entering one's bosom'!
He said, "You have to know that in the future, the Marquis's title will be inherited by you. Sooner or later, you will have to go deep into politics. Why don't you settle your heart now, cultivate your culture, write books, and govern the army?"
"That's easy for you to say. I'm not you! I'm not interested in any of that. "He waved his hand disdainfully.
"Shi Yan!"
Su Ziluo sternly called out to him.
"What?"
"You are the Crown Prince after all, and the Marquis only has you as his only son. If you go out and cause trouble, how can the Marquis live in peace?"
Li Shiyan paused for a moment, then pursed his lips and stood up. He waved his sleeves and opened the folding fan in his hand again. Complacently, he said, "How could something happen to me? Even if my martial arts are inferior to others, with this folding fan you gave me, no one will be able to get close to me. "
This snowflake fan was personally made by Su Ziluo. It was equipped with a mechanism that could defend against attacks. Half a year ago, due to Li Shiyan's endless pestering, Su Ziluo gave it to him as a gift.
It was said that there was a skilled craftsman in Qujiang. Every object made by him was of the highest quality. Not only was the workmanship ingenious, but it was also equipped with hidden mechanisms.
From small items like silver hairpins and buttons to large items like palanquin weapons!
Everyone tried their best to obtain it, but to no avail.
It was said that the craftsman only made hidden weapons for two kinds of people: those who had died once, and those who lived a life worse than death.
That skilled craftsman was none other than the wheelchair-bound Su Ziluo!
As for the wheelchair he sat in, it had been meticulously designed by him. Although it wasn't carved from jade, nor was it inlaid with gold or silver, it looked completely ordinary at first glance. However, the places where the wheelchair's hands and feet rested were all concealed with buttons.
Even if the attacker was more than a hundred meters away, once the mechanism was activated and the silver needle shot out, the attacker would die without a doubt!
Seeing Li Shiyan's complacent expression, Su Ziluo said, "If the silver needle in my hand was accurate, I'm afraid you would already be dead."
Li Shiyan immediately became listless. He immediately said, "Compared to you, of course I'm far inferior."
"Don't argue with me anymore. In short, for the time being, don't go anywhere. Obediently stay in the capital. Once the matter between the two countries is over, you will return to Qujiang with me."
"Ziluo …"
"This matter has been decided. Heir should not play any more tricks." Su Ziluo's attitude was firm.
Li Shiyan knew Su Ziluo's temperament. He was a man of his word. This time, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to escape, so he simply sat down.
"I must say, you are really strenuous. Since your legs are inconvenient, you should have stayed at the General's mansion. Instead, you insisted on coming to Great Lin to join in the fun. You are exactly the same as Uncle Su."
"Why did you bring up my father again?"
"Five years ago, during the battle between Great Lin and Qujiang at Cangshui, Uncle Su died for his country. After that, your legs were crippled. The Heavens really make fun of people. A wise man like you should have gone to the front lines to fight the enemy. Instead, you could only be a curtain-bearer. Now, you are even helping my father search for people."
"…"
"Oh right, who crippled your legs? I've asked you many times, but you just won't tell me. "
Su Ziluo's expression didn't change. He coldly said, "It's all in the past, let's not talk about it."
Li Shiyan was a chatterbox, so he couldn't stop himself. He moved closer to Su Ziluo and started chattering non-stop.
"Ziluo, tell me, why did you come to the capital?"
"You want to know?"
"Of course!"
"A marriage proposal. A marriage proposal for the Great King."
Li Shiyan narrowed his eyes and snorted. "Are you trying to deceive a child? The Great King only loves the Empress. Why would he allow you to bring thirty thousand elite soldiers just for a marriage proposal? Tell me quickly, is there any other purpose in this? "
Su Ziluo's expression was calm. He wheeled his wheelchair to the window and looked at the full moon.
After a while, he said, "In the battle five years ago, my Qujiang's virtuous generals were either killed or wounded. Our army was routed and we lost three thousand men. The Great Lin's Emperor is narrow-minded and cannot be considered a virtuous ruler. He does not leave any leeway in his conduct. Killing is killing, beheading is beheading. He cannot be considered a wise ruler.
Behind him, Li Shiyan was confused and asked, "What does this have to do with you coming to the capital?"
Su Ziluo slowly turned his wheelchair and faced Li Shiyan with his back to the window. His eyes flashed with a cold light.
He said, "How can such a ruler govern the world?"
"Ah?" Li Shiyan was stunned.
Su Ziluo frowned. "Forget it, you will understand in the future."
Li Shiyan shrugged his shoulders. If he didn't understand, then forget it.
Suddenly, he thought of something and said, "Then, can you guess why I came to the capital?"
"Sightseeing?"
"No, it's for a girl. That girl has the same temperament as you. She is also very smart. She is a coroner and can solve cases."
Su Ziluo only listened without interrupting.
"Take out your tassel."
Su Ziluo coldly looked at him. "What do you want my tassel for?"
"So that girl also has a tassel that's exactly the same as yours! Did you lose yours? "
Su Ziluo indifferently glanced at him. "I don't have time to waste with you. Be obedient and stay here. Don't even think of sneaking away."
"I …"
Su Ziluo left without waiting for Li Shiyan to finish.
The attendant pushed him out of the inn. The sky was getting dark, and there were not many people on the streets.
The cold wind whistled, causing people to shiver.
Su Ziluo's immaculate face slowly frowned with a trace of sadness.
In his sleeve!
