Datang's journey to death

Chapter 40

"Like white cats?" Pei Xuan had an incredulous expression on his face: "He...hadn't shown it before."

Li Chengqian looked at Pei Xuan's surprised look, and suddenly realized that something was wrong, and said with some uncertainty: "Maybe I fell in love suddenly?"

Pei Xuan was silent for a while before asking: "Why does it have to be a white cat? Can't it be any other cat?"

Thinking of how she looked like a white cat in front of Li Ke back then, Pei Xuan didn't know what it was like for a moment.

"No, I didn't see that he was very interested in other cats. He only likes white and blue-eyed cats." When talking about blue eyes, Li Chengqian glanced at Pei Xuan.

White and blue eyes, Pei Xuan was in a very complicated mood for a while. He was quite skeptical about liking white cats immediately. After all, he was always a white cat in front of Li Ke back then, and he didn't see how much Li Ke liked it. Dislike his hair loss ==!

Seeing Pei Xuan staring blankly there, Li Chengqian couldn't help asking strangely: "Why do you care so much about what cat he likes? Is it important?"

Pei Xuan shook his head, he couldn't answer Li Chengqian's question, this is indeed not a big problem, but Pei Xuan just wanted to know.

Although white cats are quite rare these days, Li Chengqian, as the prince, really found a white cat within a few days after he ordered it, and it was still a kitten.

Cubs are always more attractive, but Li Chengqian doesn't like cats very much. Seeing the kitten's ignorant eyes, clumsy appearance and ball-like body, he couldn't help but want to tease it a few times.

"Well, it looks pretty good, or I'll get one later."

Standing beside him, Pei Xuan said coldly, "You're lost."

Li Chengqian looked at Pei Xuan speechlessly, Pei Xuan didn't seem to like this little dumpling at all.But don't like it if you don't like it, anyway, sooner or later you have to give it away.

So when Li Ke saw Li Chengqian coming with a cat, he was stunned.

"This...was for me?" Why did the good-looking Li Chengqian give him the white cat?

But... white cat!Li Ke looked at the little white cat with straight eyes, but fortunately told him rationally that Li Chengqian must have his own purpose, otherwise he would rush up to hug the cat at this moment and check it carefully!

Li Ke concealed it very well, neither Pei Xuan nor Li Chengqian could see whether he really liked him or not.

Li Chengqian asked the palace servants around him to pass the basket containing the kitten to Lu Yang who was beside Li Ke, and said with a smile: "I remember you liked white cats very much back then, so I just found one and sent it to you." Yes, but don't just remember to play with cats and not study hard, otherwise Dad will definitely blame me."

"Thank you, big brother." Li Ke smiled brightly.

Even Li Chengqian has to admit that Li Ke looks really good, especially when he smiles, but it's a pity that he doesn't smile too much recently.

"It's fine if you like it. Pei Xuan and I still have homework to do, so let's go first." Li Chengqian waved to Li Ke.

After they left, Li Ke looked down at the little milk cat, but the little milk cat was in the laziest period of a cat's life - except for sleeping and eating, there was no way to talk to him now that he was asleep.

"My lord, this cat..."

"His Royal Highness is kind enough to take good care of it, but this cat looks a bit small, I'll find some goat milk fish sauce and feed it later." Li Ke pinched his brows, and suddenly felt that he liked white cats. It's okay for people to know, anyway, there are always some people who like to do what they like, which saves him from looking for cats by himself.

After the little white cat settled down, Li Ke turned his head and looked at Li Yin looking at the little white cat with a somewhat lonely look, and couldn't help saying: "Liu Lang, the little cat is asleep, can you play with it after finishing your homework?"

Li Yin is now in a sensitive stage, and if he is not careful, it is easy to advance the rebellious period in the second year, so now Li Ke rarely educates Li Yin, and usually coaxes him.

Li Yin looked at Li Ke with some hesitation, a little worried that his third brother would forget him when he had a cat, and hated a kitten who came over to compete with Li Ke for his attention, especially that kitten was sent by Li Chengqian. It came - when Concubine Yang Shu was alive, the target of indoctrination to Li Yin was Li Chengqian, and she asked Li Yin to grab Li Chengqian's seat.

So in Li Yin's impression, if he didn't fight, he would be killed by Li Chengqian, and now he is more determined.If Li Chengqian knew that he had another enemy because of a cat, then... he would probably be very happy to add Li Yin's name to the blacklist - he didn't like Li Yin in his previous life.

Li Ke took Li Yin to study there, and Pei Xuan had returned to his mansion from the East Palace at this time. After returning, he thought about it for a while, and finally made a decision-go to the palace to see if Li Ke is real. I like white cats.

However, seeing that the palace was restricted, it was naturally impossible for Pei Xuan to enter through the main entrance, but fortunately, he had grown up in the palace and knew the patrols in the palace well. Reading turned into a white cat at home, and then got out of the dog hole at home and ran from the roof to the palace.

Naturally, there is no dog hole in the palace wall, but there is a drain. Pei Xuan ran to the palace smoothly all the way, but it was almost dark when he arrived at the palace. At this time, Li Ke and Li Yin were sitting together. Have dinner together.

Pei Xuan quietly jumped in from the window while no one was paying attention, and sniffled to confirm the location of the little milk cat—it was actually in Li Ke's bedroom!

At this time, Luyang and Anping were both outside. After Pei Xuan entered the bedroom carefully, he saw the little milk cat sleeping soundly in the basket. Pei Xuan compared the size of him and the little milk cat, and then After feeding the kitten with a little medicine and making sure that the kitten slept soundly, he wrapped the kitty in a handkerchief and put it under the bed, while he himself jumped into the basket and looked out the window with his tail flicking.

To be honest, after arriving here, Pei Xuan regretted a little. He shouldn't have expected it. When he heard that Li Ke liked white cats, Pei Xuan thought for a moment that he was missing him.But think about it, do people like Li Ke really have such feelings?

Pei Xuan looked down at his claws. To be honest, he hadn't used the prototype for a long time, and he still missed it somewhat.Just when he was staring at his paws in a daze, he suddenly heard some movement, and when he looked up, he saw Li Ke lazily walking over. It seemed that he was very satisfied with the food.

After Li Ke came in, with a glance, he saw a small furry head lying on the edge of the basket, and the dark green eyes were staring at him without blinking.

"Huh? Wake up? Lu Yang, bring the goat milk you prepared earlier."

After hearing this, Pei Xuan's body froze, struggling for a long time between eating or not, and decided...Let's leave the precious goat's milk to the kitten under the bed.

While Li Ke was talking, he came over and touched Pei Xuan's head with his hand. Pei Xuan felt a little dazed after feeling the warmth of Li Ke's palm. It had been a long, long time since he had been so close to Li Ke.

Just when he was in a trance, Li Ke had already hugged him under the armpit. This posture made Pei Xuan uncomfortable. After kicking his hind legs, Li Ke easily hugged him in his arms, and he was still on all fours. Skyward pose.

Pei Xuan felt a little awkward, and just about to turn over, he felt Li Ke stroking his stomach, lowered his head to look carefully, and said, "Oh, it's a little tomcat."

Pei Xuan couldn't bear it anymore and stuck his paw on Li Ke's nose. Li Ke's nose was so sour that tears almost came out, and he couldn't help covering his nose and said, "Tsk, this little thing is wild enough."

After Lu Yang came over with the goat's milk, he saw that Pei Xuan's body was a little dirty, so he couldn't help saying: "My lord, this cat is a little dirty, I'll take it to wash it first."

After hearing this, Pei Xuan felt more and more that he must be obsessed with ghosts tonight, and he insisted on pretending to be a kitten, isn't this a disease of the brain?It's all right now, not only was she stared at, but she was also carried by a maid to take a shower!

Just when Pei Xuan was thinking about whether to run away, Li Ke said, "No need, it's still too young. A newborn kitten can't take a bath easily, otherwise it's easy to catch cold."

After hearing this, Lu Yang was stunned for a moment, she didn't know there was such a thing, so she couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled: "Your Majesty is more careful."

"Okay, you're tired after a busy day, put down the goat milk, I'll feed it."

"How can the king come in person?"

"It's okay, get back."

Li Ke has always said one thing, Lu Yang persisted for a while, seeing that Li Ke couldn't be persuaded, he had to put down the plate of goat milk and retreated lightly.

Li Ke put Pei Xuan next to the plate, and even scratched his chin. Pei Xuan narrowed his comfortable eyes, but he quickly stepped back a few steps after smelling the smell of goat milk.

Li Ke was taken aback when he saw that the little milk cat was not interested in goat milk at all: "Don't like it?"

Just as Pei Xuan was about to nod, he suddenly remembered that he was playing the role of a little milk cat who didn't understand anything, so he raised his hind legs and scratched his ears, then opened his mouth to Li Ke and said "meow".

Because of the change in body shape, Pei Xuan's barking became the peculiar milky meow of a kitten. After the barking, he shocked himself enough, and secretly decided that he would not open his mouth after being killed.Huh?Wait... later?

Before Pei Xuan could think it over, he saw Li Ke's face approaching and asked: "Just now I thought you were too stupid, but now I realize that you are actually quite smart. Hey, can you understand me?"

Pei Xuan pretended to be ignorant and looked at Li Ke. He was 100% sure in his heart that Li Ke's liking for white cats must have a purpose, and this purpose... [-]% of the possibility lies in him.

Seeing that the kitten was ignorant, Li Ke couldn't help but said, "Oh, it's not." At this point, he was a little bit unwilling to give up, and he dragged Pei Xuan over to check it up and down carefully. His hair was messed up by him, and just when Pei Xuan almost blew his hair and wanted to scratch Li Ke's face, Li Ke stopped, smoothed the cat on his body, put it in the basket and sighed: "I Only in the Year of the Monkey can we find Ojuku.

Pei Xuan couldn't help but move his ears when he heard this sentence, Ojuku was his original name, the name Li Ke gave him.Like Li Ke, he originally only had a number, but the difference is that the system can be named by the owner, while Li Ke can only be given a name after passing the assessment.

Are you really looking for him?Pei Xuan's mood was very complicated. He wanted to say something but didn't know what to say. The gap between him and Li Ke was already too deep. What he needed most now was to calm down, and then he was thinking whether to let Li Ke know the truth.

Li Ke scratched Pei Xuan's chin and muttered: "Don't talk, take a closer look, you and Ojuku look quite similar."

Pei Xuan flicked his tail and looked sideways at Li Ke: Thank you for remembering what I look like.Immediately afterwards, he heard Li Ke add another sentence: "But don't be like Ojuku, it's not cute at all."

I owe a beating!Pei Xuan secretly wrote another note to Li Ke, and no matter how Li Ke teased Pei Xuan, Pei Xuan ignored Li Ke, and finally closed his eyes and curled up his body to refuse to communicate directly by sleeping.

Li Ke looked at the little milk cat helplessly, always felt that the cat's attitude was similar to that of Ojuku's arrogant personality back then, but it was just what it looked like, just because he just talked to the little milk cat like that , the little milk cat didn't even respond, it just didn't understand.

Li Ke never thought that Ojuku might be pretending not to understand. In his opinion, there is no good in this broken era where there are crises everywhere. If possible, he hopes to find Ojuku as soon as possible. Go back quickly.

But Pei Xuan was unwilling, and after Li Ke fell asleep, he quietly brought the little milk cat back and put it in the basket, and fed it some goat's milk by the way, and then took advantage of the moonlight to leave.After returning to the mansion, Pei Xuan washed off all the dust and sat in the room eating dried fish and began to think, should Li Ke know his identity?

Pei Xuan knew that since Li Ke came to look for him, he must have no other system in him - if he had, he would have discovered him long ago, so the problem also came, which also shows that Li Ke may only have his system , It's just that I'm used to being a human being, there is no host to worry about, and the days when I don't have to obey the host make Pei Xuan very comfortable.

Maybe the previous experience was miserable for him, but it is not unacceptable to pay such a price to live the life he is now. Pei Xuan hated Li Ke from the beginning to the end because he did not trust himself enough.

Now if he lets Li Ke know his true identity, will they go back to the Space-Time Administration?Unlike Li Ke, Pei Xuan was reluctant to be here.

However, he also knew that it was impossible for him to stay here forever. After all, until now Pei Xuan hadn't figured out why he was able to become a human, which would add a lot of instability.

Pei Xuan put the half-eaten dried fish back on the plate, this matter was too complicated, so complicated that he couldn't even eat the small dried fish.

Pei Xuan thought for a whole night and the result was that the next day he was a little out of spirits. After seeing him, Li Chengqian couldn't help being a little surprised: "What's wrong with you? Why do you look listless?"

Pei Xuan glanced at him lazily and did not speak. Li Chengqian looked at Pei Xuan and always felt that there was something different about him, and he seemed to be more stretched.

Li Chengqian thought of something suddenly, he smiled and said: "I understand, which beauty did you dream of last night?"

He just did some calculations and found that Pei Xuan was about the same age. He remembered that when Pei Xuan first arrived in Chang'an, he was still small and thin. Now a year has passed, and during this year, Pei Xuan has grown in size. Apart from being a little thinner, Not much shorter than his peers.

Now that Pei Xuan has reached the age of fifteen, Li Chengqian began to think about whether to send Pei Xuan and the two together, but after thinking about it, it seems that it is not suitable. It is not so easy.

Pei Xuan didn't understand what Li Chengqian meant at first, and looked at him in a daze: "Beauty? What beauty?"

The corner of Li Chengqian's mouth twitched, and he was surrounded by servants. As a prince, he could make a harmless joke, but it would be bad if he said it too clearly. What kind of garlic should I pretend to be? It’s not like I haven’t experienced it before.”

Pei Xuan became more and more confused: "What exactly are you trying to say?"

Li Chengqian had no choice but to say: "Furthermore, I should find two young ladies to serve me."

"What do I want my little lady for?"

"What else can I do? Of course I put it in the room..." At this point, Li Chengqian thought of his guess, and added: "Of course, if you like Xiao Langjun, it's not impossible, but it's best not to let Dad Aunt knows."

No matter how stupid Pei Xuan was, he realized what Li Chengqian said. He had been learning from Li Yuan. Li Yuan taught him in all aspects. It's not that he didn't mention this aspect, but he didn't take it to heart. .

After hearing Li Chengqian's hint, Pei Xuan put on a straight face: "Your Highness, there is no need to judge others by yourself."

Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows: "I have no shortage of servants around me, but you..."

"Oh? I won't be looking for you anymore?" Pei Xuan knew how much Li Chengqian liked her.

Li Chengqian's expression froze after hearing these two words. What he wanted was bound to be in conflict with Xinxin. He still remembered how angry Li Shimin was when he knew about the existence of Xinxin. Maybe he will have an affair with Xinxin again.

But soon Li Chengqian also relaxed, he glanced at Pei Xuan and said indifferently: "It's just a happy boy." What's more, at this time, Xin Xin was probably born not long ago, and Li Chengqian went to find him when he was full!

Pei Xuan looked at Li Chengqian with disdain, and Li Chengqian said helplessly: "Forget it, I don't care about it since I don't know good people, but to be honest, my mother must take care of your affairs, what do you like?" My little lady, remember to talk to Aniang in advance, don't turn around and marry someone you don't like."

Pei Xuan frowned: "I don't plan to marry a wife." Why would he bring a woman here?With so many secrets about him, it's not suitable for him to get too close to others, okay?What's more, I don't know when I will go back. Isn't this cheating my little lady?

Li Chengqian was taken aback by him: "What did you say?"

No matter how much Li Chengqian hangs out with Yixin, there are still many people in his backyard, so Li Chengqian has never had the idea of ​​not marrying a wife for anyone, not to mention that he is Li Shimin's son, the so-called "one-to-one" is for them. It's a joke for father and son.

Pei Xuan sneered: "It's not that I've never suffered from women, so why should I ask for it?"

Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment, and then fell silent. He didn't know Pei Xuan's previous experience very clearly, but he knew that Pei Xuan's life was not very good. How can you live well, child?

And judging from his tone, Pei Ji's wife must have teased him a lot.What's more, it might be in the previous life... Well, Li Chengqian still thinks that Pei Xuan is probably reborn just like him.

Li Chengqian thought about it and said: "This... a wife is different from a mother, and you don't need to..."

"Okay, you don't need to persuade me, anyway, I don't want to marry a wife now."

Li Chengqian decisively changed the subject: "By the way, Dad will live forever in a while, are you ready?"

The so-called preparations naturally refer to the birthday ceremony. When Pei Xuan mentioned this, he was silent for a moment. I have to say that although his title is not low, he is really poor. He can live on that salary, let alone Saving, the class he is in is already doomed that he cannot be thrifty. Too much thrift will make people look down on him. He is the only one left in his branch, and his background is not good. If he behaves again Cowardly and timid, even with Gaozu sitting in charge, I'm afraid...

Li Chengqian obviously also thought of it, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Don't think too much, Dad knows your situation, you just need to be careful." Speaking of this, Li Chengqian suddenly changed the subject: "I don't know what Li Ke will give. "

Mentioning Li Ke, Pei Xuan's expression became a little complicated. He thought about it all night last night, and he always felt that even if he knew that Li Ke was here to find him, he still felt a little uncomfortable just going back with Li Ke like this. balance.

Just let him hang out for a while, Pei Xuan has no psychological burden and plans not to tell the truth for the time being, not to mention that he is very happy to sit beside Li Ke and watch Li Ke busy for half a day without any results.

However, in this case, there is no need for him to kill Li Ke, but here comes the problem again, what should Li Chengqian do here...?

Pei Xuan thought of this and suddenly asked: "You want to put Li Ke to death?"
