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

    "Ugh~, take it away! Take it away! Ugh~" As soon as Li Zhi saw the crooked octopuses on the bamboo sticks, he thought of the intestines and internal organs dissected on Guiwei Island, and then he thought of the disembowelled octopuses.  Belly, corpse lying on the dissecting table.  This made him push Si Zi's hand away, then run to the side of the ship and crawl there to retching.

    Seeing Brother Ninth's look, Si Zi's face was full of confusion. Ever since Brother Ninth and Mr. Lu went out yesterday, they couldn't eat anymore when they came back. It's already noon, but Brother Ninth has already  I haven't eaten four meals.

    At this time, Cai'er came to the deck. The maid behind her was holding a tray with a small bowl on it. The bowl was also covered with a lid. You couldn't see what was in it?  When Cai'er saw Li Zhi retching, she immediately ran forward and patted him on the back. After Li Zhi stopped vomiting, she asked someone to bring water to rinse his mouth.

    Li Zhiqiang worked hard to rinse his mouth, and then sat down on the chair on the deck. From yesterday noon to now, he had not eaten a grain of rice in his stomach, and he was almost exhausted from hunger.  Yesterday's visit had already left a shadow in his mind, so he would vomit whatever he ate, even white porridge. Moreover, he didn't feel hungry now. His whole body was flabby and he had no strength at all. He just sat there panting.

    Looking at Li Zhi's weak look, Cai'er's eyes flashed with heartache, and she waved to the maid next to her to come over.  Then he took off the bowl on the tray and said softly to Li Zhi: "Jiulang. What can a person do without eating? This is the lotus root starch I bought in Dengzhou. I added some sugar and cooked it. It is most suitable for weak people.  , you have a taste!¡±

    "CaiCai'er, I really have no appetite!" Li Zhi said feebly. He had a heart problem. The imperial doctor on the ship had also seen it just now and only prescribed some appetizing medicine, but unfortunately it had no effect for the time being.

    "Jiulang, you'd better eat some. The lotus root powder has no peculiar smell and tastes like plain water. I believe you won't vomit again!" Cai'er persuaded again.  She knew that Li Zhi and Lu Hong must have seen something when they went out yesterday, but Li Zhi didn't want to say anything, so she didn't ask any more questions.

    ¡°Brother Jiu, do you want to eat the lotus root starch? If not, 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 this.

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

    This is not because Li Zhi is deliberately looking for trouble, but because he really can't stand it.  The appearance of octopus is not good-looking to begin with, it is soft and slimy like the entrails of an animal.  In addition, it was meat, which made Li Zhi feel even more uncomfortable.  That's why I made this request.

    "Turn around, just turn around!" Sizi made a face at Li Zhi, and then swallowed another small octopus in one mouthful, 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 to his mouth and took a small sip. He found that it was just as Cai'er said, this stuff was light and had no peculiar smell.  , and Cai'er doesn't put much sugar in it, and it tastes almost like plain water.

    Although Li Zhi couldn't eat, he could still drink water, so this bowl of white water-like lotus root starch prevented him from vomiting again, but he ate it all in a few mouthfuls.  As a result, after eating a bowl of hot lotus root starch, Li Zhi felt that his whole body had regained some strength, and his hands and feet were no longer as weak as before.

    Seeing that Li Zhi had really finished the lotus root starch he made, Cai'er was also very happy. She stood up excitedly and walked back, saying, "Jiulang, wait a moment, I'll make another bowl for you when I get back!"

    Li Zhi was very hungry and no longer felt hungry, but eating this bowl of lotus root starch aroused the hunger in his stomach, so he didn't stop him when he heard Cai'er's words.  However, when Sizi, who turned around and was eating octopus, heard this, he immediately shouted: "Sister Cai'er, make me one too!"

    "Got it!" Before Cai'er could finish her words, people rushed into the cabin and soon brought out several bowls of lotus root starch, but most of them were eaten by Li Zhi.  After regaining his energy, Li Zhi remembered that the situation at Lu Hong's side was probably similar to his own, so he asked Cai'er for some lotus root powder and had someone deliver it to Lu Hong.

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

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?JinchengThe last stop of the rule of Korea in Samhan. Compared with Sixiang City, Jincheng was the original capital of Silla, but its development was slow. It was similar to the scene when Li Min arrived here, except that most of the roads in the city were replaced by cement.  roads, and a few cement buildings were built, but most others have not changed much.

    Li Zhi got off the boat at a small port not far from Jincheng, and then took a car to Jincheng. Just when their carriage was about to arrive at Jincheng, Sizi, who was riding in the same car with Li Zhi, said: "Brother Jiu,  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 be able to see his face. Even if we take the initiative to visit him, he will probably avoid us!  "

    At the beginning, Li You coveted the throne so much that he even hesitated to rebel. Unfortunately, in the end, he, Li Chengqian, and Li Tai were all trying to fetch water from a bamboo basket, and the crown prince position fell to him instead. If the two sides met, Li You would definitely be very disappointed.  Embarrassed, and because Li Zhi was familiar with Li You's temperament, he dared to conclude that Li You would definitely not see him.

    "Hey~, why is this?" Although Si Zi is smart, he is still young after all, and he doesn't know much about human affairs.

    Li Zhi just wanted to speak, but Cai'er winked at him, then took Si Zi's hand and said with a smile: "The reason is very simple. His Highness the King of Shu was confused at the time and did something that was unworthy of the royal family. In the past few years, he has already  He knows he is wrong, but he is ashamed in his heart, so he does not want to see anyone from the royal family. Even though he is currently serving as the governor of his cousin, he often avoids his cousin, let alone us! "

    Li Zhi was stunned when he heard Cai'er's words, and then he understood. He knew that Cai'er didn't want Sizi to know about the intrigue between their brothers, so as not to dust Sizi's innocent and kind heart, so he said  The lies above.

    "Haha, yes, Fifth Brother is a man who wants to save face and suffer. If he could write a confession to Father, and then ask Sixth Brother to plead for mercy, Father might have pardoned his sins long ago." Li Zhi thought.  He laughed deliberately and looked at Cai'er with gratitude. Sizi was his favorite little sister. Naturally, he wanted Sizi to live happily every day, so the ugliness in the palace still made him sad.  It is better to have less contact with Sizi.

    After hearing this, Si Zi nodded thoughtfully, and after a while he said: "Since the fifth brother has realized his mistake, Si Zi will tell his father when he goes back this time, so that he should not be angry again and deal with it as soon as possible.  It¡¯s up to Fifth Brother to recall Chang¡¯an.¡±

    "Sizi, please don't be too meddlesome. It's better to let Fifth Brother stay here for a few more years!" Li Zhiyi waved his hands hurriedly.  Although his position as the crown prince is now secure, Li You is only a 250-year-old. If Sizi really persuades his father and calls him back to Chang'an, what might happen?

    "Why?" Si Zi looked puzzled.

    This time Cai'er smiled and said: "Why is our Sizi so confused? Now the King of Shu is serving as the governor under his cousin, in charge of North Korea and China. His current position is very important. If Sizi persuades your majesty, he will  If the King of Shu calls him back, then there will be no one available for my cousin. Sizi, you don¡¯t want your cousin to worry about this, right?"

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

    Seeing that his doll was so easy to deceive, Li Zhi couldn't help but feel a little funny. In addition, he also admired Cai'er's quick wit. What surprised him was that he had not told Cai'er about these political matters, but he didn't.  Thinking that she is so clear about the joints, it seems that some people are indeed born with political sensitivity.

    Sure enough, as Li Zhi expected, when their motorcade 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 Si Zi was that Li You's wife, Wei Shi, and her eldest son Li Dao came to greet them outside the city gate. This made Si Zi very happy, especially seeing someone younger than him.  Two-year-old Li Daoshi was even more excited. While forcing the other person to call him aunt, he gave the other person the snacks he brought.

    Li Zhi was also a little surprised by this. Although it was Wei Shi and Li Dao who came now, this showed one problem, that is, their mother and son must have obtained Li You's permission, otherwise they would never have come out to greet them.  This discovery made Li Zhi a little strange, because it was not in line with Li You's temperament at all. Could it be that after staying overseas for a few years, Li You really changed his temper?

    However, no matter how strange Li Zhi was, etiquette could not be abandoned, especially since this was not the Tang Dynasty, so his identity as the prince was not very important. Therefore, he first saluted Wei Shi, and then gave several gifts to his nephew Li Dao.  That's itAfter entering Jincheng, I just don¡¯t know what harvest is waiting for me here?  (To be continued)
