Cowardly Stepmother Dressed As the Hero

The three of Qi Rui's master and servant are all immature children. In terms of speed, they are naturally no better than the tall and long-legged elite guards from the palace.

Fortunately, there were many people on the street, and the guards behind them didn't want to cause too much confusion, which gave them some time to breathe.

When passing a fork in the road, seeing the guards approaching, Qi An took the initiative to let go of Qi Rui's hand and said, "Brother, run quickly, I will help you delay for a while."

After he finished speaking, without waiting for Qi Rui to answer, he turned directly into the alley next to him.

Qi Rui took two steps forward. After reacting, he looked back with some worry. Seeing that the guards who were chasing them had split half of them and entered the alley together, he was relieved and continued to flee—

He didn't worry about Qi An running around alone, and these guards originally intended to send the three of them back to the mansion. If Qi An could be caught, it meant safety.

After Qi An ran into the alley, she wisely did not continue to move forward, but hid behind a pile of groceries at a corner. As he calmed his heartbeat, he waited for the guards to come and "catch" him.

He was only three and a half years old, and it was hard enough to run with Qi Rui all the way for so long.

Seeing that the two guards running at the front didn't find themselves behind the corner, but chased them all the way to the depths of the alley, Qi An showed a smile of successful trickery.

After a moment, he came out of hiding.

Qi An's original intention was naturally to go back to the main road and see if he could go to the bookstore to meet Qi Rui, but he noticed from a distance that there was a guard guarding the entrance of the alley.

He hesitated for a moment, knowing that he could not run away.

But he was unwilling to be so "hands-on", so he just quietly turned into an alley on the right, ready to enjoy this last bit of "free time" before the guards found him.

Obviously this is the moment when you are chasing me, but he is not afraid at all, but trembles with excitement.

He even deliberately wrote down a few details of the hunt in his mind, trying to describe his "heroic drawing of the enemy" and "hidden tricks". .

After a while, the guards who were chasing forward noticed something was wrong. They knew that with Qi An's foot strength, it was impossible to go too far, so they returned to this area and began to search carefully.

Qi An walked by himself and turned into a dead end.

He simply sat down on a smooth stone at the end of the alley and waited for the guard to come over.

Soon, he heard footsteps coming from outside the alley, and a guard came over to his hiding place.

This alley is a place where civilians gather, and there are many sundries in the alley. The guards must not only check, but also ensure that nothing is knocked over in the process, so as not to hit the second son of the palace who may be hiding behind, the search speed is not fast.

Despite this, he was still approaching Qi An's direction step by step.

Just as he was about to turn into this alley, Qi An was suddenly covered by someone from behind and dragged into an unknown place.

Soon, he felt that he was being hugged and ran quickly.

After reacting, Qi An vigorously kicked his feet and shouted to resist.

The person holding him was not very old, and his figure was still very thin. Under his frantic writhing without warning, he suddenly let go, and the two fell to the ground violently.

But Qi An didn't get out of trouble because of this, instead, because of the fall, he hit his forehead, and suddenly some eyes gleamed with gold stars.

The person who took him was awake faster than he was, and after regaining his senses, he continued to put him in a semi-conscious state.

—

Qi Rui held her breath and carefully hid behind a bookshelf.

In the reading room, the literati were burying their heads and writing, when a guy on duty found him, came over to him in surprise, and whispered: "Child? Why are you here? Where are your parents?"

Qi Rui pretended to be at ease and took out a book from the shelf: "I came here by myself, I'll read the book."

The guy hurriedly grabbed the book from his hand: "Hey, hey, don't move, this can't be played!"

He warned: "You go out with me, this is the reading room, no noise is allowed, I will take you outside."

Qi Rui frowned and looked at him displeasedly.

He turned his hands behind his back and emphasized again: "I'm here to read a book, and I'll leave if I've had enough. Your bookstore opens its doors to welcome guests. Is this how you treat your guests?"

The five-year-old eldest son of the royal palace was born with an air of extravagance, and his small face already had three parts of the aura of the King of Bei'an.

The guy suffocated when he heard the words, and said angrily after a long while: "You, how old are you, what books are you reading? You came in just to make trouble."

"The book you stole from me is "New Qin Book"." Qi Rui pointed to the book that the man was holding, "The first one is 'Honghu', which is about an arrogant goose. The story of a bird falling off a cliff because he didn't know the heights of the sky."

The guy froze for a while.

He's just an ordinary guy in the bookstore, he can't read at all, and naturally he doesn't know if what Qi Rui said is right.

Just at the moment of his hesitation, a young man in a blue Confucian shirt discovered the situation here, put down what he was doing, and walked over.

He was always nearby and heard Qi Rui's words just now. At this time, he confirmed the name of the book in his hand, and told him with a smile: "He said it right, this book is "New Qin Shu" "."

Pulling the book out of the man's hand, the young man said, "I think this little friend is really here to read the book, why should the little brother drive him away?"

The guy saw that the person who came was a familiar face, respected the other person as a scholar, and saluted: "But sir, this child is so young..."

The young man waved his hand and thought of a two-way idea: "Well, you don't have to be embarrassed.

"I'm here to entertain this little friend. If he does something inappropriate later, I'll be responsible for sending him out. What do you think?"

The guy hesitated for a while, looked at Qi Rui, who had been staying beside him all the time and seemed to be very polite, and finally nodded and said, "Then I will trouble you, sir."

The young man smiled: "No need."

Seeing that the matter has been resolved, the guy left immediately.

Yu Liang returned the "New Qin Book" to Qi Rui, and asked with a smile, "Is this the book you just asked for?"

Qi Rui took it and thanked him politely, "Mr. Laofan is here to help."

He politely greeted Yu Liang with a literati salute: "My surname is Qi, uh... I'm the eldest son in the family. Sir can call me Qi Yi. I haven't asked for my name yet."

"My surname is Yu, and I have a single name." Yu Liang reported his family name.

He seemed to have a strong interest in Qi Rui, and after exchanging names, he asked again, "Little friend... is you five years old?

"At your age, it only takes a year or two to open the door, right? Shouldn't the simplest "Poem" be used as enlightenment? How can you still know the history of the "New Qin Shu"?"

What he didn't say was that even if he studied classics and history, "New Qin Shu" was generally the last choice. Many people have chosen the dictatorship scriptures, and they don't even bother to read this one.

That's why, this book was placed at the bottom of the bookshelf, and was picked by Qi Rui, who was not tall.

Qi Rui thought for a while, and said vaguely: "Master is good at managing scriptures, and he also uses scriptures and history to enlighten me."

Yu nodded brightly and didn't ask any further questions.

He changed the subject and said, "Then... are you going to read a book? I'll take you to the table next to you."

Qi Rui glanced at the place where the literati gathered.

Just now, Tianquan led the last few guards away, and he is now considered "safe" for the time being.

The two younger brothers had already returned to Qi Liu's side, so there was nothing to worry about. Qi Rui wanted to take advantage of the little time left to learn about the bookstore opened by Cao Mi.

So he looked at Yu Liang and asked, "I see Mr. Yu talking to that guy just now. Are you a frequent visitor here?"

Yu Liang lifted his robe and showed his clothes that were worse than Qi Rui's. He smiled helplessly, "I'm so shy, I came here because I heard that books can be read for free here."

His remarks were meant to be self-joking, but Qi Rui didn't get the point of the joke at all, and asked solemnly, "Mr. Yu has been here for a while, so he should know more about the study room, right?"

Yu Liang heard what he meant and asked back, "Don't you want to know more about the bookstore here?"

Qi Rui nodded: "I heard that the bookstore here is very novel, and I have always wanted to know what is so special about it."

He was very interested in printing and paper, and in his spare time, he asked Cao Mi about the situation here.

But Cao Mi couldn't explain the novelty of this bookstore in a few words. After mentioning a few unique rules to him, he mentioned that he would bring the three of them over to take a look at some time in the future.

But after that, Cao Mi went to Rongguang Villa because of business affairs. Today, it was the first time that Qi Rui came to the bookstore.

Yu Liang was not surprised to hear these words from one of his children. Instead, he felt as if he had met a bosom friend.

He turned to his side and invited, "If your little friend doesn't mind, I'll tell you and take you on a tour."

Hearing this, Qi Rui naturally nodded and said, "Okay."

—

After an unknown period of time, Qi An was awakened by a disgusting smell.

He couldn't help coughing a few times, alarming the people next to him.

Qi An felt someone touch his clothes, and then said, "He's awake..."

After a loud noise, Qi An opened her eyes and sat up by herself.

Soon, he found himself in a mud house full of firewood, surrounded by a group of mud children.

These mud children are extremely thin, they are naked, they exude an unpleasant odor, and their bare skin is covered with mud.

The two children next to him looked about the same age as him, and they were looking at him curiously, as if they were very curious about the clothes on his body.

"Don't touch me!" He pushed away a child who reached out to him, frowned and asked, "What is this place? You... kidnap me?"

All the children in the house shook their heads in unison.

Qi An shook his head to keep himself awake, and was about to collect some more information when an older boy who was about the same height as Tianquan suddenly came in outside the door.

It's not quite right to say that he came in through the "door". The windows of this room and the only door on the south side are blocked. come in.

After he came in, he counted unequivocally: "Five, ten... Twelve?"

Finding that things were not what he expected, he frowned: "Why is there one more?"

"Brother Dogya..." Soon, the child next to Qi An stood up and pointed at Qi An to expose: "This, this person, is not from us."

Gouya was stunned for a moment, and moved closer to where Qi An was: "It's not ours?"

The exposing child nodded and pointed out the physical evidence directly: "He was wearing clothes."

Dog Tooth stepped forward and pulled Qi An out of the children.

"The clothes are good, it doesn't look like a spy..." He didn't take Qi An, who was more than three years old, in his eyes. After observing for two seconds, he turned to the two older children next to him and asked, "Where did this child come from?"

The person who brought Qi An back was called Ergou, and he replied, "Gouya, yes, it's me."

He explained: "He was in the stone alley near Rong Street. He was almost taken away by the leopard's people. I just rescued him."

"Look at what he looks like." Gouya shook Qi An in his hand with great effort, and showed Ergou his stocky weight, "Does it look like you need to be rescued? My parents squeeze a little from the gap between their teeth. Come down, maybe it can save us."

Ergou choked, and then retorted: "But didn't you say that the leopard likes these clean children the most? If he is caught, it will be miserable!"

Dog Teeth silently "squeaked".

After such a toss, Qi An finally understood the reason.

He struggled and escaped from Dog Fang's palm. After standing still, he glared angrily at the two dogs who caught him: "What nonsense!"

He took a deep breath: "I was... playing the game of catching kui and thief with my brother. Before my brother found me, you stupid beggar suddenly appeared, covered my mouth and took me away! "

Even in this situation, he kept in mind what Qi Rui told him that he must hide his true identity from ordinary people.

As soon as he explained this, the room fell silent.

Ergou shrank his body at a loss, but opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

Qi An patted the corner of his clothes in disgust, and turned to Dog Teeth, who was obviously the leader of the group: "You better send me back quickly. If my family can't find me..."

He swept over the crowd viciously: "You can't get anywhere."

"You kid..." Gouya squinted his eyes and took two steps towards Qi An, "Have you figured out whose territory it is now?"

Qi An confronted him without fear: "Then what do you think?"

Hearing the words, Gouya scratched his hair irritably, and seemed to be caught in a dilemma: "Tsk, over there in Stone Alley? That's Leopard's territory. I can't deal with Leopard, so I can't send you back."

"Then show me the direction." Qi An raised his head, "I'll go back by myself."

"Heh, go back by yourself?" Gouya gave him a contemptuous look, "I tell you, walk out for a quarter of an hour and you'll meet Leopard's men. Did you hear Ergou just now? You kind of thing, If you meet a leopard, you will only end up being sold as a plaything slave."

Qi An covered her nose with her long sleeves, covering up the stench that came along with the approaching dog teeth: "Get away from me!"

He pursed his lips and sneered: "Can I be safe by staying with you beggars?"

Gouya laughed angrily: "Although I'm a beggar, it's not that I haven't seen a child richer than you. Do you know that someone like you will end up miserably?"

Qi An took a step back.

The bad environment in the firewood house and people like dog teeth made him angry, but his reason kept reminding him of the current strength gap between the two sides, telling him to stay calm and fight for his life.

Gouya saw that he was subdued, thought for a moment, and then said: "Now it seems that you can only wait for your family to come over. But... Stone Hutong is a little far away from here, Ergou copied the 'shortcut' that few people know about. , I brought you here. It's not easy for your family to find you.

"or…"

"Or what?" Qi An asked anxiously.

"Or wait until it's dark and the leopard's people are gone." Dog Tooth said: "I can find a chance to send you out."

"It's dark?" Qi An puffed out her cheeks.

Although he is young, he knows that the second method in Gouya's mouth will never come true.

There was no need to wait until it was dark. At this time, Qi Liuyue had already discovered that he was missing.

He will mobilize the forces of the entire palace to search for the missing second son of the palace in a carpet-like manner.

Although Qi An felt a little humiliated to be the protagonist in this kind of incident, but at present, the situation is irresistibly going in this direction.

After trying to understand this, and knowing that people like Gouya were unreliable, Qi An instead relaxed.

He reluctantly found a place to sit down at the farthest end from these children, and said, "If that's the case, just wait."

Gouya thought he was talking about waiting for dark, but he didn't know that he actually chose the first way.

But God didn't seem to plan to let go of the prince who sneaked away from home just like that. Before Qi An sat down for a moment, there was a faint movement outside the earthen house.

Two men came near here.

The dog-tooth crowd was in the house, and the surrounding area of ​​the house was tightly sealed, so they couldn't see what was going on outside. But they could hear the two talking.

Among them, the sharp voice suddenly complained: "What's the matter? Did the dog-tooth group go underground? Why can't they find a shadow?"

"It's not impossible." A rough male voice responded: "Don't look at that kid, he's a group of diapers wrapped in diapers. He's been around here for a long time and wants to avoid us. It's not difficult."

"You son of a bitch." The sharp male voice couldn't help but say a dirty word.

At this time, a rough male voice commanded: "Leap, go to the mud house in front of you."

Qi An keenly noticed that after hearing this sentence, Dogtooth who was standing not far in front of him frowned.

It seems that the "earth house" in the words of the two is the house where they are now.

But Dogya's reaction was also quick. He gave two children around his age in the house a look, and the three picked up the wooden sticks and green bricks on the ground and quietly moved to the entrance at the back of the house.

The reaction of a group of children in the house was very calm, as if they were used to such a scene.

Qi An couldn't tell whether it was fear or excitement, so he secretly swallowed.

But the conflict he imagined did not appear at all. After a while, the sharp male voice replied: "I won't go, I have to cross that stinky ditch over there... Didn't that earthen house have been sealed for a long time? Say yes. Unexpectedly died..."

The rough male voice laughed: "Why, are you afraid?"

"What am I afraid of?" The man who was mocked was not convinced.

He paused for a while, and then broke out a big news: "Anyway, Brother Leopard is going to burn this broken place, we can just wait for Brother Leopard to bring someone over.

"If the dog teeth are really hidden here, none of them can escape, hehe."

He was originally dealing with the orderly people in the house, but when he heard this sentence, he suddenly shivered.

—

"...You found out, the books here are not copied at all." Yu Liang led Qi Rui to a bookshelf, "They are like... like seals, they are printed one by one."

Qi Rui nodded and agreed with his guess.

Yu Liang didn't know why, even though the other party was only a five- or six-year-old child, but he was very happy to get his affirmation.

So he shared: "When I got home, I thought about it and tried it with stamps and ink..."

Qi Rui raised his head and answered with great interest, "How?"

"Only make the rice paper dirty, the clear handwriting can't be printed at all!" Yu Liang said truthfully.

After he said this, he smiled helplessly, and Qi Rui, who had always been expressionless, also hooked the corner of his mouth.

"Okay, stop laughing at me." Yu Liang changed the subject, "Let me show you the good things I found yesterday!"

"Huh? What is this?" Qi Rui asked.

The bookshelf they are currently on is the eastmost bookshelf in Reading Room No. 3, and the word "other" is written on the classification in front of the bookshelf.

Yu Liang, taller than Qi Rui, took a book from the upper shelf.

"This is what I just discovered, the secret hidden in the bookstore."

He squatted down and showed Qi Rui the book in his hand: "Look, this book is actually the content of calculations, and there are labels at the bottom of the page. If you solve these problems, you can use the answers to talk to the shopkeeper. ask for a corresponding reward.”

After explaining, he winked at Qi Rui: "The reward is very generous!"

Qi Rui looked at him: "Have you received it?"

Yu Liang was waiting for his question, and nodded proudly inwardly and replied, "I'm not talented, I did solve two problems."

Qi Rui asked again, "What is the reward?"

Yu Liang shook his head and replied, "The first reward is a Jinzhou Huihao Pen, and the second...a hundred pieces of paper."

When he mentioned the paper, he was afraid that Qi Rui would not be clear, and explained in detail: "The paper in this bookstore is different from other places, and the hundred pieces of paper are engraved with patterns of flowers and birds, which I have never seen before.

"The pattern is like a book here, neat and tidy, it doesn't look like it was drawn by a person!"

Qi Rui was in the palace, and Cao Mi would always deliver to him any novel things in the bookstore on weekdays. He naturally knew the wonders of those papers.

"The guy here told me that the papers I got can only be considered to be of medium quality..." Yu Liang still sighed with emotion: "I don't know what those high-quality ones look like. I inquired about it, the best in the workshop. The special-grade paper is actually priced in gold, tsk tsk."

His few words reminded Qi Rui of the boxes of spring notes in his room that were obtained by kissing alone.

The eldest son of the royal family turned his face away uncomfortably, changed the subject and asked, "If many people can figure it out, wouldn't the bookshop be at a loss?"

Yu Liang shook his head: "No.

"The owner of this bookstore is very smart. He stipulates that the first person to solve the problem will definitely win the prize, and the people who solve the same problem later must use another way of thinking if they want to win the prize. , even if it is made, it will not count.”

Qi Rui nodded: "So it is."

He remembered something and said to Yu Liang: "You can continue to solve the problem, so that you can get the top-grade paper you want."

Yu Liang nodded and said unequivocally, "Yes. Actually, if I hadn't met you today, I should have solved the problem long ago."

Qi Rui knew that he was delaying him, thought about it, and said, "I was delaying Mr.'s time... Well, how about I help you solve the problem together?"

Yu Liang raised his eyebrows: "It seems that you have not only learned the "New Book of Qin", but also touched the content of arithmetic?"

He rolled up the book in his hand and knocked on his head: "Didn't your master tell you that it's best not to dabble in this kind of miscellaneous science at the enlightenment stage?"

His words are somewhat similar to Lin Yi's theory.

Qi Rui shook his head: "My mother supported me very much in learning math. She told me that curiosity about learning is the most important piece of driftwood on the way to learn how to swim."

Yu Liang was stunned when he heard the words.

From the very beginning, he felt that Qi Rui was extraordinary. Judging from his clothes, he came from a wealthy family. Maybe there was a master hired with a lot of money to teach him.

But when he heard these words at this time, he began to doubt his previous judgment.

If a boudoir woman can say such words, the background of the child in front of her may be far beyond the "little rich family" he guessed.

But he didn't try to inquire, but nodded along with Qi Rui's words, "Lingtang is far-sighted and far beyond ordinary women."

Then, he invited again: "If the little friend doesn't dislike it, where should we go to see the math problems?"

Qi Rui nodded and readily agreed.

—

When the footsteps of the two wandering nearby gradually drifted away, the children in the house finally couldn't bear it anymore.

Ergou asked Dogya in a trembling voice: "Dog, Dogya, he, they said they were going to burn this place... What, what should I do?"

"Stuttering for what?" Dog Tooth glared at him impatiently, "I'm not deaf, I heard it too."

Ergou nodded, "So, so, what, what should I do?"

Dogtooth stomped a few steps in place irritably: "What else can we do? We have to withdraw, before the leopard comes."

Among the children, a young child asked, "Brother Gouya, where can we go?"

Dog Tooth shook his head, his lips moved for a moment, and finally he made up his mind: "Chengxi, go find the mouse!"

Qi An didn't know who the "rat" in Gouya's mouth was, but he had a bad premonition in his heart, because a few people in the group of children immediately burst into tears when they heard the name.

He couldn't help but ask, "Who is the rat?"

Dog Tooth glanced at him and snorted: "A guy who is more disgusting than you."

Qi An gritted her teeth secretly, and began to think about how she would take revenge on this lowly beggar after returning to the mansion.

Gouya ignored his thoughts at all, and gave a child a look next to him: "Five dogs, you go out to follow, I will send the children out first."

Wugou nodded, relying on his small size, and quietly got out.

Dogtooth beckoned to the pile of children, and soon, those children spontaneously lined up.

They drilled holes one by one under Dogtooth's arrangement.

When the team was about to end, Dog Tooth finally looked at Qi An in the corner and reminded in a low voice, "You, that's you, come here quickly, it's not safe here, you should retreat with us first, and talk to those who escaped the leopard."

Qi An frowned, sitting on the spot without moving.

At this time, his disgust for the dog tooth has escalated to the peak, and he does not want to respond to his words.

Of course, he wasn't all **** off this time.

Although he didn't know where he was now, Qi An knew that the Beian Prince's Mansion was in the east of the most prosperous city in Cannes, and the place where Dogya and the others were going was something he had never set foot on before, and was known for being dirty and messy. West of the city.

Cheng Xi'an was not safe, but he just went there, and he was farther away from the Bei'an palace, which was very likely to delay his being found by the people in the palace.

Coupled with Gouya's bad attitude towards him just now, under the influence of the two factors, a thought popped into the mind of the three-and-a-half-year-old second son of the palace—he didn't plan to follow Gouya's group.

Seeing his appearance, Gouya has already understood three points in his heart.

He sneered and stopped talking. After sending the last child out of the house, he turned back and checked the junk pile, ready to take the only "things" he had left.

The two dogs that Qi An carried by mistake were very guilty at this time.

He squatted in front of Qi An and persuaded: "I, it's my fault, I shouldn't have brought you here. But, you don't know, young master, Leopard is a personal trafficker, specializing in catching children in the city and sending them to the Rong tribe outside the Great Wall. Those savages are slaves! You will never survive in his hands."

Qi An turned his head and didn't look at him, and he said again, "The leopards are all around here. Only we know some routes and can avoid their search. If you are angry, you should leave with us first."

Qi An finally gave him a look.

In fact, he is not completely irrational. At this time, the lowly beggar in front of him has given him a step, and the arrogant second son is willing to compromise first.

But Gouya happened to be passing by with a sack on his back at this time. Hearing this, he sneered: "Er Gou, we can't live any longer, do you still want to be a good person?"

Ergou looked at him and explained, "Yes, but he is me..."

Gouya patted him on the shoulder: "You don't care, this kind of rich boy who bullies the soft and fears the hard, he can save some food when he dies. Maybe his family will hold the funeral someday, and we can still ask for two steamed buns. ."

Qi An heard the words, stood up angrily, and slammed into the dog tooth fiercely.

Gouya avoided it, probably knowing that he was really serious, and that he no longer had the same knowledge as Qi An.

As soon as he turned around to the side of the hole in the wall, he directly removed the door that blocked the hole, and put the broken bag on his back: "Second dog, keep up."

Ergou stood between Gouya and Qi An and was in a dilemma for a while, not knowing what to do.

Qi An passed him and prepared to go out by himself to find a way out.

But when he moved, he directly woke up the hesitant Ergou.

Ergou ignored his resistance, and put him directly on him as before: "Anyway, I, I made a mistake once, this time, just treat me as returning you."

Qi An fluttered his hands and feet and said angrily, "Let me go."

Ergou ignored him and went straight out.

Outside the house, Gouya saw Qi An he was carrying, and frowned unhappily: "What are you doing? He makes a lot of noise and will kill us!"

Ergou stepped into the stinky ditch recklessly and walked straight forward: "If I don't do this, I will kill him!"

"You're stupid!" Dog Tooth led the others to chase after him. "He won't die if he is caught by a leopard. He is only sold as a slave. This kind of arrogant child should be taught a lesson."

Ergou shook his head and walked forward bravely.

Qi An, who was being carried, was noisy for a while, and felt that his behavior was too stupid, so he calmed down temporarily.

Dog Tooth frowned at him, seeing that he was no longer resisting, and finally stopped talking.

The crowd rushed to the road.

Qi An grabbed Ergou's shoulders and observed the surrounding environment.

In the open air, he found that this place seemed to be a slum in the city, and now Dog Tooth is leading people through narrow alleys.

They are very tacit understanding, and there are people in front and back to explore the way to ensure that they will not suddenly meet any leopard people head-on.

Everyone turned around for a while, and Qi An suddenly found an opportunity!

Just after they turned out of an alley, he found that the left end of Xin Hutong was a big road! As long as he crosses the distance of dozens of meters and runs to the avenue outside the slum, the possibility of him being found by the people of the palace will instantly become much greater.

So he secretly saved up his strength, seized the opportunity, and attacked Ergou when Ergou hugged him across an obstacle on the ground, and slammed his foot into Ergou's chest!

After Ergou fell unprepared, Qi An used him as a cushion and landed safely.

Before Gouya and the others could react, he spread his feet and ran out.

Qi An knew that if he chased, he would definitely not be able to outrun the big boys like Dogya, so he ran and shouted with all his strength: "Help, someone has been kidnapped! Help!"

He didn't take two steps, and suddenly saw two people at the exit of the alley.

Qi An was overjoyed. He thought he had caught the attention of outsiders, but when he took a closer look, he found that the two were holding long sticks in their hands.

"It's the leopard's man, **** it!" Dogtooth shouted: "Run!"

Qi An froze in place, not knowing how to react.

There was a wolf in front of him and a tiger in the back, and he was stunned for a while.

But soon, he felt a pulling force behind him, and when he came back to his senses, he saw that the child who called Ergou had not given up on him!

He grabbed Qi An and ran again.

"Second dog! You're crazy!!" Gouya, who was escorting the other children, scolded angrily.

He was right.

Ergou's act of retrieving Qi An consumed his precious escape time. Even, because there was no Qi An obstruction, the two did not need to stop to deal with it, and they caught up more smoothly, and they were about to reach Ergou and Qi An.

Qi An was protected by Ergou in his arms, and he could see the scene behind Ergou.

Just like that, he watched as the little gangster who was chasing them grabbed a long stick and slammed it down the back of Ergou's head.

The second son of the palace, who has always claimed to be fearless, felt the unbalanced heartbeat for the first time at this moment.

The long stick hit Ergou's head as hard as everyone expected, and Ergou stumbled and fell to the ground with Qi An.

Qi An's heartbeat was so fast that he wanted to jump out of his chest. He looked at the two gangsters approaching, and quickly thought about how to save himself. From exposing his identity to pretending to be caught first, he thought about it all over again.

But at this time, Gouya and the others who had already run a certain distance turned around and ran back.

"Fight with you!" Dogtooth said fiercely, holding a green brick.

The two thugs sneered, and one of them said, "Dogya, you have been hiding like a mouse for so long, and this time we finally caught it."

He clenched the long stick in his hand: "I'm going to arrest you today and go to Brother Leopard to claim credit."

"Oh, it's just you?" Dog Tooth said viciously.

The two gangsters scuffled with the three people on the dog's side, and they didn't care about Qi An's side for a while.
