thorns in the sky

When Fu Mei opened her eyes, because of her headache, she naturally reached out to touch her forehead, touching the bloody bandage.Just after waking up, he was still a little confused, and murmured vaguely, "Where is he?" The waiter didn't know who the "he" he was talking about, so he just walked out in a hurry, but bumped into Ao Huan head-on. There was a sudden panic on his face.Ao Huan smiled, instructed him to leave, walked into the room naturally, sat beside Fu Mei's bed, and said, "Don't worry, we have already left Weiyi."

Dangerous city...

——Fu Mei suddenly sat up and cursed: "Rebel!"

But Ao Huan said: "You scolded the wrong person. The rebels are from the Yu clan, and our good men in Sanwei are all innocent." That Ao Huan looked as sweet as honey, and his tone was light, saying It seemed to be a promise, but Fu Mei didn't buy his account, but she didn't refute his words, she just smiled and said: "That's a good thing. Since I'm here, you innocent and good guys must also save me." !" Ao Huan slapped his knee, showing regret: "I think so too! What a pity! What a pity!"

Fu Mei's heart suddenly hung high: "What's the pity?" Ao Huan said: "Originally, we Sanwei nobles were not invited, but I was born to be a lively person, so I secretly brought my entourage here, not wanting to hear that there are many people there. Big noise." Fu Mei suddenly thought of Chang Zibi who ran faster than birds, and said with a smile, "It's interesting to hear such a big noise that you would run away, but you came after me." Ao Huan said with a smile: "But No, I like to be lively." Fu Meiqiang suppressed the impatience in her heart and asked: "Then why did you catch up with the excitement?" Ao Huan said with a smile: "I didn't catch up. When I got there, the water was already quiet The river flew away, but I found you at the foot of the hill."

Fu Mei also remembered: "I was in a hurry to run back, and I didn't watch out for falling down the slope." Fu Mei was in a hurry, and ran back on the difficult path, but she didn't want to roll down the high slope and hit her. At the end, he passed out. Fortunately, Ao Huan, who arrived later, discovered him, otherwise he would have been ambushed by the soldiers of the Yu clan who cleaned up the battlefield.Ao Huan said with a smile: "This is a blessing in disguise, it is a great fortune." Fu Mei could not agree with this point of view, and asked anxiously: "Do you know what happened to the Son of Heaven and the Taiwei?" Ao Huan pretended to be distressed Frowning, he said, "Oh, how could I know? The situation was very critical at that time. After I took you away, I immediately ran back to Sanwei with the small team. Who would dare to delay there to inquire? "Fu Mei really wanted to roll her eyes at Ao Huan's exaggerated acting skills, but under the roof, she could only cooperate with his performance sincerely, and said with a wry smile: "Of course, you saved me. I don't know what to do with this kindness." How to repay." Ao Huan smiled with satisfaction when he heard the expected answer, and said: "This is what you should do, don't think too much about it, just take care of it."

Seeing Ao Huan's attitude, Fu Mei was relieved a lot.What is Fu Mei worth to Prince Ao Huan to treat him like a snake?Fu Mei is usually domineering, but in fact, she knows very well that she is pretending to be a tiger, and she is relying on Jin Jialan's prestige.If something happened to Jin Jialan, he would not be treated with courtesy by Ao Huan.

Then Fu Mei calmed down a bit, and then asked: "Is this the Three Dangers?" Ao Huan said, "It doesn't count. We are in Cangyuan, which is not considered the Three Dangers, nor is it the State of Yu. So we still Be low-key, and don't call me a prince outside. I won't call you a sacrificial person anymore." Fu Mei smiled lightly and said, "I couldn't afford to be a sacrificial person in the first place. You call me by my name very much. It's an honor." This smooth-talking, low-browed Fu Mei is quite new to Ao Huan, but after thinking about it, Ao Huan remembered that everyone said that Fu Mei was a lowly slave, and he was supposed to be this tame and smooth It's only because he was spoiled by Jin Jialan that he gave birth to such pride.

Ao Huan thought for a while, but then asked: "Have you seen Chang Zibi?" Fu Mei was stunned for a while, after a few thoughts in her mind, she finally decided to tell the truth: "He ran away." Ao Huan Dazed for a moment, she smiled and said, "He left you and ran away?" Fu Mei was surprised by this expression: "I was just a casual acquaintance with him, so we can't talk about whether we will leave you or not. It's still me No, it's because I don't want to listen to his advice, and... I'm not very polite to him. If I can see you next time, I will definitely apologize to him." Ao Huan felt inexplicably relieved, and said with a smile: "It's okay, He can't go anywhere, and we can still meet him in the end." Fu Mei nodded, and said: "It must be difficult for him to go back to the Central Plains, maybe he still has to come to Cangyuan."

Outside the pass from Weiyi to Sanwei is a vast plain.This Cangyuan can't be said to belong to Sanwei, nor can it be said to belong to the Yu clan. In name, it still belongs to the king's land of the emperor. "Is there any other king's land in the world?" "Wang Chen", the "Wang Chen" of "Is it the king's minister on the shore of the land".But whether the king's subjects are tame or not is another matter.

There are many nomads and merchants in Cangyuan, mainly smugglers, and of course there are also thieves and robbers who are at large.After all, it is a place where no one cares, anything can happen, anything can happen.Ao Huan also wanted to take the safe official way, but in the current situation, the official way is not safe.He walked with a team of elite soldiers, and generally there would be no thieves to attack him.

Besides, if he followed the official path, he would be unlikely to meet Liu Qi.

Fu Mei also noticed something strange——Ao Huan said to be careful, and returning to Sandan as soon as possible is the best solution, but Ao Huan was slow, saying that it was for Fu Mei's recovery, but Fu Mei did not. He faintly felt that Ao Huan was waiting, waiting for someone.

Liu Qi wandered around the city as a tramp, looking for opportunities.The tramp has his advantages, no one will look at him carefully, and if he sees him, he will just walk away in disgust.As for him, he had been a soldier, a general, a prince, or a homeless man for the first time. This experience was fresh and exciting.After all, he has always been a very temperamental person.In fact, temperament usually has nothing to do with how many books you have read. Many scholars hunched over their desks for a long time and shrunk their shoulders.This kind of temperament is very tiring. You need to straighten your spine, raise your neck, keep your eyes straight, and even hold an object and nod your head within the expected square inch, in order to appear elegant and generous.Liu Qi has always been so elegant.

Now it is different, Liu Qi holds a bamboo stick in his mouth, sits on the side of the road full of smoke and dust with his legs up, smiling or not, tilting his neck and squinting at passers-by, very unmannered.But for some reason, Liu Qi felt very refreshed.

A young boy came running with five copper coins in his pocket, intending to hand it over to Liu Qi—yes, Liu Qi has only been a gangster for two days, and he has already started to accept younger brothers.Liu Qi looked down on these few copper coins at all, but as a big brother, he still had to accept his little brother's filial piety, so he picked up the five copper coins in the young boy's pocket and put them into his money bag.The little boy squatted at the bottom of the steps, looking up at the boss, his eyes were full of tiny rays of light, there seemed to be a tail wagging behind his buttocks, and he looked expecting to be praised.For some reason, Liu Qi suddenly remembered the way he looked forward to being praised by his heartless father when he was a child, and he couldn't help but smile.Seeing the boss smile, the young boy smiled even wider, revealing his white teeth that didn't match his gray face.This white tooth made Liu Qi suddenly remember Ao Huan, which made Liu Qi very uncomfortable.Then Liu Qi turned his head, took out seven copper coins from the money pouch, put them in the young boy's pocket, and said, "Good job, I reward you, let's buy some sugar." Hearing Liu Qi's praise, the young boy said, Blooming a very bright smile.Liu Qi was stunned for a while, but said: "What's your name?" The young boy laughed: "My name is Xiao Poor." Liu Qi pouted, and said: "What a shit name!" Now, in order to integrate into the group, Liu Qi is full of words It is already unclean.But his articulation is still so clear, and his exhalation is so soft. Such gentle and standard swearing is also very interesting to the ears of others.Little Poor laughed: "I used to be called Shit, but there was also a Shit over there, and I couldn't beat him again, so I had to change my name." Liu Qi was stunned: "Are you guys fighting over a 'shit' name?" Xiao Xiao Poor smiled and said: "We didn't fight, didn't I know I couldn't beat him!" The little Poor's smile at this time was cute, but very sad.Liu Qi unconsciously touched the top of the little raggedy messy hair, the little raggedy was also taken aback, his nose felt a little sour, but he held back immediately, still smiling foolishly.

Little Poor couldn't help getting closer to Liu Qi, and said with a smile on his face: "It's good that the elder brother is here, they don't dare to beat me anymore. They don't want to rob me of the money I begged for anymore." Little Poor said When he said this, his face was full of happiness.Liu Qi was a little dazed. He chose to accept Xiao Zaitan as his younger brother because he saw that Xiao Zaitan was the one who was pushed out at the bottom of the food chain.Liu Qi took him in as his younger brother because he knew that he was sending charcoal in a timely manner, and that little raggedy would be extremely grateful to him and would be heartbroken.

This is all in Liu Qi's calculation.

Liu Qi thought to himself: "I'm really nothing." But he had already accepted this setting early on.

Liu Qi said lightly: "You are not as strong as others, don't you know how to use cleverness?" Xiao Poor looked at Liu Qi blankly, Liu Qi smiled and said, "Brother will teach you." Xiao Poor looked at Liu Qi , The eyes seem to fall into the stars.

Xiao Polan is willing to go through fire and water for Liu Qi, but Liu Qi doesn't need him to jump into the sea of ​​fire, as long as he is a nimble thief.This little trash grew up among beggars, and Liu Qi didn't need to bother to teach him the skills of stealing, he was already much better than Liu Qi.Liu Qi then told Xiao Polan that money came second, and obtaining customs clearance documents was the most important thing.This is more difficult than stealing money. Who would take out the customs clearance documents?

For this reason, Little Ratty had to sneak into inns, post houses, or guest rooms in business hotels, and it was easier to obtain them.With a light body and nimble movements, he easily climbed into the window of the guest house, sneaked into the house, and rummaged through other people's bags.That little ragtag had good luck today, he got the paperwork after only turning to the fifth room. To his surprise, there were more than a dozen paperwork certificates there, which was really a pleasant surprise.He stuffed the document into his arms with the joy of finishing work early, but he didn't want to pick him up from the collar with a strong force behind him.Little Poor turned his head to look, and met a pair of dark pupils, and his heart trembled suddenly.

The man asked him in local dialect: "What are you doing, thief?" Xiao Po Lan heard the Yu clan dialect spoken by the man, so he quickly spoke Chinese, pretending that he didn't understand the language.The man smiled and said in Chinese: "Thief, are you looking for a beating?" Xiao Polan's face was ashen, and he begged for mercy: "I, I really don't know anything... I was forced!" This set of rhetoric It was Liu Qi who taught him well.The reason is that Xiao Zaipai only stole documents but not property. It is somewhat convincing to say that he is not a thief.The man let him go after hearing the words, and listened to him with great interest.The little raggedy man immediately started crying, looking a little pitiful with that face: "Yes, there was a foreigner who forced me with a knife! I, I was so scared to death! He must be some kind of fugitive. As long as I steal the documents for him, otherwise...or I will be killed!" As he spoke, the little raggedy man began to cry again.After all, this little raggedy had a face that even Liu Qi felt soft-hearted when he saw it, so it was very pitiful to cry like this.The son was also young and kind-hearted, seeing the little raggedy like this, he relieved his breath, and just said: "Poor boy, then take me to see him, and I will definitely bring him to the official." Little raggedy shrank Weeping shrunkenly, but did not answer.The man said again: "Don't be afraid. I will protect you. And you are so pitiful, why don't you be a book boy with me, and you don't have to study outside anymore." Wouldn't it be better to be a book boy than to be a little beggar?He thought again, but he can't betray the eldest brother, so he just wanted to lure the young master to the eldest brother, and when he arrived, he would give the eldest brother the signal to escape according to the agreement, so that the young master could not find the eldest brother, and he could be a book boy with the young master , is really the best way to achieve the best of both worlds.

The little ragged led the young master to the little ragged temple.It turned out that Liu Qi was squatting guarding the small house behind the small ruined temple.In the ruined temple, a hidden thread mechanism has already been set up.Liu Qi also made an agreement with him, if there is anything wrong, the little ragtag just needs to step on the silk thread on the ground pretending not to be surprised, and the bells in the shabby temple will tinkle and clang, and Liu Qi will be fine. Even if you fall asleep, you will be awakened.Therefore, when Xiao Polan led the son to the ruined temple, he stepped on the silk thread, but he didn't expect that when the foot was about to step on it, the son grabbed his ankle and said with a smile: "Children, be careful." Watch the way." The little raggedy man was startled for a moment, he didn't expect this young man who looked at him so pampered to be so quick-eyed and quick-handed.

Little Poor said in a daze, "Young master..." But the young man smiled and said, "You can call me Mr. Ao."The little raggedy man was about to shout, but his mouth was blocked by the son with a handkerchief, so he could only whine weakly.The little raggedy shook his head and tail, and kicked his legs vigorously, but under Ao Huan's restraint, he seemed as weak as a little fish jumping on the ground.

When Ao Huan walked into the hut, Liu Qi had just finished eating the beggar's chicken, squatting on the ground without any image, picking his teeth with a stolen women's silver hairpin.

Ao Huan almost didn't recognize Liu Qi, and Liu Qi would rather Ao Huan not recognize himself, damn it, it's so embarrassing.

A mouthful of blood stuck in the throat, sweet, sour, bitter, hot and salty.

Ao Huan lost his mind, and Xiao Zaitan had already broken away.That Ao Huan didn't intend to continue to trap Xiao Poor, so he let Xiao Pochan fall to the ground.That little rag was also used to being thrown by Hu Dahai, so he didn't cry out for pain, he just took off the veil from his mouth, and whimpered, "Brother! I'm sorry!" Ao Huan listened, chuckled, and said "Oh, I'm still taking my little brother!" Liu Qi couldn't help but pretended to be puzzled in the words of the Yu clan: "I don't know you." After hearing Liu Qi's words, Xiao Polan immediately understood, and said quickly : "Ah! You are not my elder brother! You have admitted the wrong person!"

Ao Huan laughed, and said to Xiao Polan: "Okay, since that's the case, you can get out." Xiao Polan was stunned, and then looked at Liu Qi in confusion.Liu Qi said helplessly in the words of the Yu clan: "I don't even know you! Get out!" Little Poor then obediently got out.

Ao Huan looked at Liu Qi with great interest, as if he could see a flower on his face.Liu Qi was rather embarrassed, holding the silver hairpin in his hand, and inserted it into the disheveled bun on his head.Ao Huan smiled and said in the words of the Yu clan: "Squatting for so long, are your legs numb?" Liu Qi didn't answer him, but he really felt his legs numb, so he sat down instead, sitting on the floor with a big horse and a golden knife, a bit of a gentleman's image They are all gone, and his face is so disheveled, if not for that face and eyes, Ao Huan would really think that he has recognized the wrong person.

Liu Qi squinted at him: "Who the hell are you?" It was the first time Ao Huan heard Liu Qi swearing, he felt fresh, and his face was full of joy.Liu Qi continued: "Are you fucking sick? You still laugh when you are scolded! Stupid!" Liu Qi has held back so many dirty words to Ao Huan, and now he has the honor to say them out, fortunately, he can talk endlessly .Ao Huan just sat down and said with a smile, "Oh, Zibi, you are such a treasure!"

Liu Qi resentfully said: "You misidentified the person, I don't recognize you!" Ao Huan said: "You don't recognize me? Are you not Chang Zibi?" Liu Qi replied: "No." Ao Huan admired Liu Qi She speaks fluent Yu Clan dialect, which can fool people.So Ao Huan still talked to him in the dialect of the Yu clan: "Aren't you Zibi? Then who are you?" Liu Qi said: "None of your business!" Ao Huan laughed and said: "Are you really a pariah?" Liu Qi said Qi replied: "Yes, have you eaten your rice?" Ao Huan said: "Okay, it's good." As he spoke, Ao Huan suddenly seemed like a tiger coming out of its box, and threw Liu Qi to the ground as fast as a gust of wind.

Liu Qi turned pale with shock, and scolded: "What are you doing!" Ao Huan pushed Liu Qi down, and only replied with a smile: "I am a son, and it is not illegal to be a pariah." Say one word: "Fuck." Ao Huan smiled and said: "Okay." After speaking, Ao Huan touched Liu Qi's belt.Liu Qi quickly refused, but he couldn't resist Ao Huan's strength like a cow, and just said: "My God, aren't you too picky? I haven't bathed for so many days, don't you think it stinks?" What?" Liu Qi didn't say anything, but the lustful Ao Huan really didn't think that, now that he was reminded, he really saw Liu Qi was covered in mud.

Ao Huan nodded, and said: "I don't care anymore." Liu Qi relaxed, but within a moment, he was carried out by Ao Huan on his shoulders like a sack.Then Liu Qi scolded: "You idiot, put me down!" Ao Huan saw that Liu Qi was really addicted to acting as a hooligan, so he smiled and said, "Shut up, pariah!" I really want to dig a hole for myself to jump.

There is a river outside the cottage.Originally, Liu Qi chose this place because it is close to the river, the scenery is good, and it is convenient for him to fetch water.It's not that he doesn't want to take a bath, it's just that as a pariah beggar, taking a bath every day is not in line with his personality, so every time he takes a bath, he will take off his pants and fart and smear mud on his face and body.
