Thinking

Qi Si was taken aback, looked at Xiao Zhi's face, felt that he was amazing, able to satisfy all his wishes, his eyes lit up: "Really? Are you not busy? Will it delay your work?"

Xiao Zhi smiled, his eyes reflected the gorgeous autumn sky, as if he had a starry sky in his eyes: "There are so many things, there was a big case a while ago, so I was busy."

Qi Si asked again: "What should I prepare?"

"You don't have to worry about it, just wake up early tomorrow, don't keep thinking about it at night, if you don't sleep well, you won't be energetic tomorrow."

Qi Si was a little embarrassed. After coming to the country of Yan, he couldn’t fall asleep every time he had something to do, and he would be confused in the morning. Sometimes when Xiao Zhi sent him off, he fell asleep on the horseback leaning on Xiao Zhi halfway. Xiao Zhi freed a hand to support him.

But he hadn't been out of the city for too long. In the past, he went up mountains and into the water in Luyang City, enjoying boundless freedom. Now, even though Changyu is bustling and bustling, he has been locked up in the city for too long.

Early the next morning, when Qisi said good morning to Xiao Zhi in a daze as expected, Xiao Zhi had no choice but to smile.

Xiao Zhi asked the housekeeper to prepare things, still rode with Qisi on the horse, tied the reins of another horse to the bridle, and let Qisi ride the horse by himself after leaving the city, all the way to the suburbs and mountains.

When Qi Si was not out of the city, he leaned on Xiao Zhi's body and fell asleep. When he was out of the city, he was alone with a horse. Have fun.

Qi Si galloped his horse for nearly two quarters of an hour, and only slowed down when he entered the mountain road among the lush forests. He was still a little wary of this environment because of the assassins he encountered after coming to Yan Kingdom.

Xiao Zhi could see his nervousness, and rode side by side with him at a leisurely pace, saying, "Don't be afraid, with me here, there will be no danger."

Only then did Qi Si relax and focus on looking at the surrounding scenery.

After walking for half an hour, the flat and wide mountain road is still extending forward, the trees are colorful, and the mountain road on the mountainside can see the stretches of the opposite mountains.

There are often carriages on the official road in the same direction as them, and they all go out of the city to see the autumn scenery.

At the foot of a mountain path, Xiao Zhi and Qi Si abandoned their horses and walked up the mountain path. Gradually, there were more and more red maple trees around them, until they were surrounded by red maple forest before they knew it.

There are no tourists in the forest, only the wind blows the forest, the branches sway and the birds sing, and occasionally there is the sound of gurgling water.There was a thick blanket of red maple leaves everywhere, so Qi Si left the mountain path and walked casually in the forest, Xiao Zhi was by his side.

Stepping on the red leaves under their feet made a "rustling" sound, and above their heads was a lush fiery red maple tree, with blue sky and flowing clouds in the gap.

The green blood maple forest, the cold stream and flowing clouds, the autumn wind in the wilderness passes through the forest, shaking the corners of the clothes.

Qi Si looked back at Xiao Zhi, Xiao Zhi was wearing a blue military uniform with water in the sheath around his waist, his face was as elegant as jade, and his eyes reflected the face of Manshanhongfeng and Qi Si, with a clear smile: "This is the Jade Blood Maple Forest."

Qi Si felt that he had regained his freedom at this moment, so he couldn't help asking: "Xiao Zhi, can you not go back?"

Xiao Zhi smiled slightly, turned his head and stretched out his hand to pick off a bright red maple leaf on his shoulder, and asked patiently: "Where do you want to go, young master?"

Qisi realizes that he has made a slip of the tongue, where can he go?Shaking his head: "I haven't come out to play for too long, and I don't even want to go back."

"Xiao Shizi, is this a child with me for an autumn outing? It's rare!"

Xiao Zhi subconsciously protected Qi Si behind him, and the two turned their heads to look at the person not far away.

"Master Pei, what a coincidence." Xiao Zhi looked at Pei Nanxian and greeted him calmly.

Standing in the maple forest, Pei Nanxian was dressed in a red military uniform with a long chain curled around his waist like a snake, looking at the two of them with his hands behind his back and smiling.

Qi Si felt that there was no warmth in Pei Nanxian's smile, and his eyes were bottomless and cold like snakes.

Pei Nanxian came over unhurriedly, stood a few steps away from them, and bowed his hands: "It turns out to be your highness, I haven't seen you for a long time, Pei is rude, forgive me."

Qi Si looked at Pei Nanxian and replied, "It's okay."

Pei Nanxian looked at Qi Si again and said, "Your Highness, our old man happened to be here today, would Your Highness want to come and meet him? After all, he is also His Highness's grandfather."

Xiao Zhi frowned upon hearing this, but it was inconvenient to make a decision for Qi Si, so he just looked back at Qi Si.

Before Lu Yingqiu left Yan Kingdom, he told Qi Si that Yu Ke's birth mother's surname was Pei, and her name was Pei Rujin. She was the daughter of Shen Yingwei Pei's family and also Pei Nanxian's sister.

The old man of the Pei family is indeed Yu Ke's grandfather.

However, Lu Yingqiu also said that Pei Rujin was with the Emperor of Jin before his death, and the Pei family did not support her. She even broke up with the Pei family because of this, and her death was a bit strange, which may be related to the Pei family, but there is no evidence. guess.

After arriving in Yan State, the Pei family did not go out with Qi Si, and Emperor Su never mentioned this matter.

Qi Si had no impression of Pei Nanxian. In Baigu County before, Pei Nanxian wanted to see Qi Si who was sleeping in the carriage, but Xiao Zhi stopped him. Qi Si had been in a coma and didn't know it.

Hearing what he said, it seemed inappropriate not to meet him, and felt that Xiao Zhi was a little wary of Pei Nanxian. Looking at Xiao Zhi, Xiao Zhi signaled him not to worry, he would guard him.

Qi Si nodded, "Of course."

Following Pei Nanxian for a while, there was a brocade tent propped up on a flat mountain, and the old man of the Pei family was inside.

Pei Nanxian asked Qi Si to come in, and he and Xiao Zhi waited outside the tent.

Xiao Zhi looked at Pei Nanxian, and signaled to Qi Si to rest assured that he would go in whenever he had any problems.

When Qi Si entered the brocade tent, an old man in his 60s sat on a silk mat and drank tea. .

Thinking about being in charge of the Pei family's shadow guard when he was young, he was also very energetic.

Seeing Qi Si, the old man beckoned him to sit across from him, and said, "Your Highness and I are related by blood, so we won't talk to each other about politeness."

Qi Si went over calmly and sat opposite the old man.

He thought to himself, this was Yu Ke's grandfather, and he had met him for him.

The old man looked at Qi Si carefully and said, "Have you seen your mother?" His voice was thick and powerful.

Knowing that Yu Ke's mother died of dystocia, Qi Si shook her head, "I'm not lucky enough to see you."

Then the old man stretched out his hand to pull Guo Jisi's wrist, put his finger on his pulse, and said after a while: "Has your body been injured? When you use your internal strength in the future, your mind should be stable, and you should practice more mental methods on weekdays."

Qi Si knew that except for Emperor Su, Xiao Zhi would not reveal to anyone else that he had fallen for Zhu Yanshou, this old man is also a powerful character.

He nodded: "Thank you."

The old man looked at him again, his sharp eyes seemed to be able to see through his thoughts, he nodded and said, "You are a good boy."

Qi Si couldn't see what he was thinking. He didn't have the kindness and gentleness of an ordinary old man, but was fierce and majestic, and there was no elder's love and concern for his children and grandchildren in his expression, as if he was just observing himself.

The old man looked more relaxed, nodded and said, "Go and play, the Jade Blood Maple Forest is very famous."

Qisi said goodbye and left the brocade account.

Pei Nanxian looked at Qi Si, then at Xiao Zhi, smiled and said: "Thank you, Mr. Xiao, for taking care of you, but it seems that we are not considerate."

Xiao Zhidao: "Your Majesty's orders, don't dare to neglect your Highness, Mr. Pei don't need to think too much."

Pei Nanxian looked at Qi Si and said, "Your Highness, take care too. It must be hard work being alone in Yan Country."

In words, both the Pei family and Xiao Zhi have nothing to do with Qi Si.

Qi Si felt that his eyes were like cold and wet snakes, and he was not very comfortable. He looked at Xiao Zhi and said, "I'm not alone."

Pei Nanxian didn't care either, he always had that invisible yin and yang ambiguity, with a superficial smile, and bowed his hands to bid farewell to them.

Xiao Zhi took Qi Si for a walk in the maple forest in the mountains, and Qi Si asked him, "Is it true?"

Xiao Zhi looked at him puzzled.

"You said that following His Majesty's order, is it because of an order that you accompany me every time?" Qi Si was a little puzzled and uneasy.

Xiao Zhi didn't expect him to be entangled in this sentence, and he couldn't laugh or cry: "He asked like that, I will deal with it like that, it's just a scene."

Only then can Qi Si feel at ease, he really doesn't want his friendship with Xiao Zhi to be just wishful thinking, and he will be disappointed again in the end.

Xiao Zhi felt that Qi Si was very sensitive about some things, and he had to double-check whenever there was a turmoil, just like a person who has been bitten by a snake should be careful when seeing a rope.

In the afternoon, the number of tourists gradually increased. Qi Si and Xiao Zhi walked through the tourists and Fenglin. There were all kinds of people along the way, and the laughter was very lively. There were always girls watching them and some who came to talk to them. As brothers.Fortunately, this time I didn't chase them and throw flowers and brocades.

Xiao Zhi took him to eat something at a small stall at the foot of the mountain road. The stall looked ordinary, but tasted good. The soup base was rich and mellow, and the ingredients were fresh.

Feeling sleepy when full, Xiao Zhi led Qi Si to ride around the mountain path for a while, seeing that Qi Si was a little confused, Xiao Zhi was worried that he would fall, so he let him ride with him, and turned into the mountain path, twisting and turning For a while, Ji Si was leaning on Xiao Zhi's chest, half asleep and half awake, when he stopped walking, it was already dusk, Xiao Zhi dismounted with Ji Si in his arms, and Ji Si woke up.

He jumped from Xiao Zhi's arms to the ground, looked around, the sky was getting late, and the sky was shining with warm colors, they were on the other side of the mountain of Jade Blood Maple Forest, and they didn't know how they got here.

This side of the mountain is steep and straight up and down. They are on a small flat land with a cave behind and a cliff in front of them.

Qisi looked at the mountains stretching in the distance, which were illuminated by the setting sun in a warm red color, which was far and vast.

This place is open and high, it's really a good place to live in seclusion. Looking back, I found that Xiao Zhi had packed up his things, lit a fire in the cave, and there was a slight "cracking" sound. The light of the fire was bright and jumping, reflecting Xiao Zhi's slender figure.

He walked over and found that the cave was very clean, flat and sheltered from the wind, and there was a stone platform. He asked half-jokingly, "Is this a place for masters to practice secret books?"

Xiao Zhi looked at him, his clear eyes were brightened by the fire, and he smiled: "I'm disappointed, there are no masters, and there are no cheats, it's just a place I used to come to."
