Ning Gu

The watchman knocked three rounds, and the chill in the night was naturally worse.

Xie Ling's complexion had been pale for a long time, and he could no longer see the difference under the candlelight. Compared with Zhao Zuo, the children's thoughts were still less.

Zhao Zuo was most afraid that Xie Ling's body couldn't bear the fatigue now, and he suffered from the night cold again tonight.After Xie Ling finished talking about the drunkenness with Sang Luo that night, he got up with a sigh, called the city master Xuan to hold the lamp, and led everyone to Juheng.

Under Zhao Zuo's order, Xianzhi and Qi walked to the left and right of Xie Ling, protecting Xie Ling from the wind that lingered at the left and right intersections.

The sound of worms rang cheerfully in the second half of the night in Fufeng City, but the group of people walked on without a word. It was Zhao Zuo who spoke the most, and talked about the story of waiting for Xie Wuling under the apricot tree in the early morning. Some people couldn't help asking about things that were not asked in detail today.

Lu Qi is that newborn calf, and what he is most afraid of is the "tiger" behind his back in front of him.

Hearing the phrase "Talk about yourself", Lu Qi knew it was a high-sounding statement.

When Xianzhi's mother was in Chongque, whenever Aunt Yuan Bao was with Lu Qi, she would always drag Aunt Yuan Bao away, euphemistically saying that she would talk about herself, but after listening to Xianzhi's words, she would always take Aunt Yuan away. It's not something that Lu Qi can understand for a while.

"So... did you say something?" Lu Qi asked. Of course, he cleverly didn't ask the Holy One, but asked Xie Ling beside him, "Shanren?"

Xie Ling's intermittent memories dragged his thoughts.Not to mention asking him to confuse him, even he himself is at a loss now.Those mixed memories in my mind would still be a mess if no one took the lead... to move them around.

When Xie Ling was in a dilemma, Guan Zhi, who was a few steps behind them, made a rescue: "Let me tell the story. At that time, only brother Xian and I were present." Guan Zhi emphasized the word "brother", which provoked Xianzhi slowed down, glanced at him, and continued.

"Several inconceivable events happened that year, probably after the teacher came to Fufeng from Zhaoxing. The command banquet in the Wang family's bamboo forest produced a calligraphy "Walking Alone in the Castle Peak". All the officials who passed by were resigned. However, several high-ranking officials from the Ministry of Industry were followed by the fall. Uncle Heng went to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and the first case became an unsolved case, which was closed hastily. After that, the Xishan porcelain kiln supervised by Duke Yong collapsed, and all officials involved in the incident were taken into custody. , Duke Yong was decapitated. Concubine Yong hanged herself, and the relationship between the Liang family and her broke up early. Later..."

"Okay." Zhao Zuo didn't turn his head back, and interrupted what he said behind him. He knew better than anyone else what happened in Yongguo Mansion later, although he wanted to know what happened in Yongguo Mansion before he came. things, but I don't want these things to come from other people's mouths.

Probably, he only wanted to know if Xie Ling said it himself.

He wanted to know how much he owed during those ten years, and would he be able to repay it with his young life?

If it is not enough, then we should make an appointment early for the next life, and the next life...

"Brother Guanzhi, you haven't given me the answer yet? And why are you in the same room with Brother Xianzhi? You are not..." Wasn't it later that the Holy Majesty was born to Mrs. Tongzhuo?Lu Qi turned his head to look at the person behind him, his eyes roving over that person.

It's just that Lu Qi was a step slower when he turned around. If he had been a second earlier, he might have seen the undisguised prey in Guan Zhi's eyes.

"Guanzhi." Xianzhi also stopped suddenly, turned around and called Guanzhi, and glanced over, revealing a bit of deterrence.

Guan Zhi turned his eyes away, hid the secret in his eyes, sighed, and explained: "Princess Yong recruited Mrs. Zhuo into the mansion at that time, and what she said was to send Duke Yong's four-year-old son back to Liang's hometown. Go down and find out about grandma."

"Hey," Xuancheng Master Xuancheng Master Zhao Shi, who was walking next to Zhao Zuo, said at this moment, as if thinking of something, he laughed at himself, "It's just that a disaster is imminent, and the husband and wife are like this, let alone... "

Guan Zhi turned a deaf ear, and continued: "At that time, Duke Yong had not returned home for two days, and the sky in Fufeng hadn't cleared up for several days, right, brother Xian."

"Yes." Xianzhi replied calmly, but Lu Qi secretly felt that Xianzhi was a little unhappy.Going around Xie Ling's back and tugging on Xianzhi's sleeve, when he looked at him, he showed a flattering smirk, which made Xianzhi twitch his lips.

"Concubine Yong sent the child to Mrs. Zhuo, asked Mrs. Zhuo to take him back to the mansion, and asked the child's book boy to help him get on the car to go back to see his grandmother. He gave the child a letter and a sentence. Said that the letter should be In the future, when Mrs. Zhuo feels safe and says it can be opened, the child will only be able to unseal it."

"What about that sentence?" Lu Qi asked.

"That sentence is for the teacher."

Hearing the sound, Xie Ling turned his head to look at this child who was the same age as Xianzhi, and scrutinized his appearance carefully. Those eyes were extremely familiar, but he couldn't remember it anymore.

Seeing Xie Ling's view, Guanzhi met his peachy eyes generously, raised his eyebrows and said, "The teacher once asked her whether it was the daughter of the Liang family or the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family. She didn't know until the end. She became the daughter of the Liang family. She said that her husband said that she thanked her too early, but she did not expect that it was not too late, but the wrong person. She also had a question to ask her husband. A person who walks, or a person who follows the mountain?"

The look in Guan Zhi's eyes has been in Xie Ling's mind for a long time, so that Xie Ling will not be able to hear what Guan Zhi said in his ears in the future.Suddenly, a ferocious face appeared in Xie Ling's mind with those eyes. It was the appearance of a leopard in the forest staring at its prey, with excitement and a bit of violence, and more like the frivolous appearance of knowing the victory. .

This face shocked Xie Ling, he tilted his neck and shook his head again.He even staggered two steps unconsciously, and was listening to Guan Zhi's last question.

When Zhao Zuo mentioned Xie Ling in Guanzhi, he stopped, and grabbed Xie Ling's waist before Xie Ling staggered, and supported him from behind.Xie Ling leaned against Zhao Zuo, and the suppressed mouthful of fishy sweetness could not be suppressed again, it meandered down the corner of his mouth, one or two drops fell on the clothes and turned into flowers, one or two drops hit the bluestone board, and another Two drops landed on Zhao Zuo's hands around his waist, which surprised Zhao Zuo, and tightened his grip on Xie Ling.

Xie Ling hastily raised his hand, rolled up his sleeves and wiped away the two drops of dark red blood on Zhao Zuo's hand, and found that the blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth when he buried his head fell down again, he was at a loss for what to do, and hurriedly raised his hand to cover his mouth.

But before the sound of coughing came out, he fainted in Zhao Zuo's arms.

This tossing scared Lu Qi enough.Looking at the bright red color on Xie Ling's clothes, he never blinked.

Zhao Zuo was the first to come back to his senses. Zhao Zuo frowned, and his eyes were full of anger: "Zhao Guanzhi, your feet are severely grounded. If your teacher..., you will be forever in poverty. Father's debt is paid by son, Zhao If you repair the debt, you are fine."

After saying that, Zhao Zuo hugged Xie Ling into his arms, and suddenly felt that he was already like this.

Light as a feather, but in Zhao Zuo's heart, like Mount Tai pressing down.

On the other hand, Guan Zhi followed behind Zhao Zuo, and said unhurriedly: "Didn't the sage still promise the teacher about Sang Luo, if Guan Zhi is going to be in trouble for a long time, how to catch Sang Luo?"

"Father, master's illness has been born since he entered the Yongguo mansion. It seems to be the evil spirit in that mansion, no wonder I watched it. Guanzhi grew up by your side since childhood, and you know his temper. He is also close to you tonight." The evil spirit in the house made you talk nonsense. Ignore it, and send Master back to Juheng." At some point, Xian Zhi walked up to Lu Qi's side, patted him on the back twice, and then stood in front of Guan Zhi. Answer the words.

"Brother Huang, Mr. Qi said earlier that he would be there tonight, so you can send Xie Xiang back. Guan Zhi and I will go for a walk. Before Xie Xiang wakes up, I will bring him and Sang Luo back. That four-bedroom beauties, you should just send them away for me." Zhao Shi, the lord of Xuan City, also followed.

I don't know whether it was Mr. Qi who had an effect, or the words of thanks, Zhao Zuo's brows finally had the idea of ​​relaxing.

Zhao Zuo lowered his voice and warned: "Since it's nonsense, don't mention it after tonight. Zhao Guanzhi remembered that even if you were really raised under that apricot tree, your surname is also Zhao! Just like him Lu Qi. Your point The power of the mother's family, the family business of the father's generation, he..." He thanked Wuling for being greedy.Of course, Zhao Zuo didn't say anything later.

He promised the former Xie Wuling that he would never mention Lu Qi's past life experience in front of Lu Qi, and naturally he did not want to mention Guan Zhi's life experience.

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Zuo paused, then turned around and said, "Return safely."

Then he gave Xuancheng lord Zhao Shihe Xianzhi his eyes, and walked away quickly with the people in his arms.

Zhao Shi, the lord of Xuancheng, also led the silent Guanzhi to disappear into the small alley next to the alley.

Only Xianzhi was left, and when Lu Qi came back to his senses, he led him to walk slowly on the road that Zhao Zuo left.

Lu Qi raised his head and tugged at Xianzhi's sleeve, his hands trembling unconsciously: "Brother Xianzhi, I don't understand."

"You will understand," Xianzhi grabbed the hand that was pulling the sleeve, and held it in his arms.I don't know how long I can hold it, one more time, and Xianzhi can't help but rejoice, "There is still a long way to go back, let me tell you slowly. What do you want to hear?"

"Brother Guan, it's..."

"He, he was not born to the emperor himself, the child he was talking about just now is him."

"The emperor's eldest grandson Zhao see?"

"Well, speaking of it, I should call him elder brother." Xian Zhi pursed his lips and smiled wryly.It's good fortune, the most tricky.

"What he said just now is that his mother sent him to your mother's side, and someone else sent him... to die?" This is a dirty trick that Lu Qi has never been in contact with, but now he is getting in touch with it bit by bit.

Xianzhi didn't know if this was Xie Wuling's plan at the beginning, but he knew that what he had saved in his hand was left to him by Xie Wuling——Lu Qi's life.

He had to take every step he took to be able to protect Lu Qi.

"En." Xianzhi responded to Lu Qi's question.

"And he became your brother?"

"He is of royal blood, so he should be included in the jade dish. The only way is to enter the jade dish in the name of his father's own son."

"Then doesn't he hate it?"

"How do you hate? Hate him for raising him for 15 years? Or hate yourself? What about you? If you look at it? Would you hate it?"

"If you want me, I will hate you." Lu Qi's eyes were firm, and he was so shocked that he almost thought that he could not get Lu Qi.

"What about the almond tree?"

"Ah? You just looked at the burnt plant in Cai's mansion."

"What does the tree in Yongguo's mansion have anything to do with me?" Lu Qi opened his eyes wide and blinked at Xianzhi.

Lu Qi suddenly felt as if he knew nothing about martial arts, and some small chapters of military art originally taught by Xie Wuling.During these five years, Emperor Zuo pampered him, Xianzhi pampered him, protected him, he asked, and Xianzhi answered.

Even the plan to deceive Zhao Zuo with Xie Wuling's painting in the palace to take him to Zhaoxing was envious.

Now that I think about it, it doesn't take long for my brain to rot.The ancients were honest and never deceived.

He pursed his lips, but decided to use his soon-to-be-decayed brain to think about the relationship between that apricot tree and himself.

But this thought was interrupted by the yelling at Ju Heng's door that came in a blink of an eye.

The author has something to say: Lu Qi: Hey, the view is very miserable~

Xianzhi: Worry about yourself
