startled autumn

Shen Zhiqiu got into the car for a while, when he felt an ominous premonition in his heart, Ji Zhao sat opposite him, looked at him with a smile, and said: "Brother Zhiqiu, it's been ten years, and you are still fine. Variety."

Shen Zhiqiu replied sincerely: "Indeed."

Ji Zhao then asked, "Are you married?"

Shen Zhiqiu: "No."

Ji Zhao rolled his eyes: "Could it be that you have no one you like after all these years?"

Shen Zhiqiu shook his head, hesitated for a moment and said: "I'm ashamed to say, I only found out recently that I liked that Fang Hezi back then."

"...do you like him?" Ji Zhao left early at the time and didn't know what happened later. I always thought that Fang Hezi was not a good person."

Shen Zhiqiu: "How do you know?"

"His background is inherently mysterious, and he is obviously such a proud person, but he is willing to stay in Yancheng, isn't it strange?" Ji Zhao sighed softly, and the childishness of the year disappeared in an instant, "You I don't know, apart from smiling at you at the beginning, if he met us, his expression would be cold, wishing to reject people thousands of miles away."

Not only that, Ji Zhao and Mi Lin were also warned by him once: "Zhiqiu is the lord of Yan City, how can he indulge in fun, you should come to him less in the future, so as not to waste his time."

Since then, the two of them seldom went to Shen's house again. After all, even when they met Shen Zhiqiu, he usually had a Fang Hezi by his side. The two chatted about swords, and it suddenly became a world that no one else could get in.

Shen Zhiqiu didn't know that Lu Zheliu had said such exaggerated words to Ji Zhao without telling him. Now that he learned about this, he felt very guilty, and said in a low voice, "It's all because I don't know people well."

Ji Zhao quickly laughed and said, "It's all in the past, if I knew it earlier, I wouldn't mention it."

Only then did Shen Zhiqiu cheer up: "The most urgent thing is your family's difficulties, Ji Zhao, what do you need my help for?"

"After I left Yancheng, my family opened an escort agency. Over the years, it has become famous and the business is booming." Ji Zhao frowned slightly, as if he was troubled, "Our latest escort, Worth 5000 taels of silver, this thing is very precious, and the journey is even more dangerous, fearing life-threatening, brother Zhiqiu, I know you are now Mo Yi's man, and your swordsmanship is superb, so I want you to come with us Together, escort the treasure."

Shen Zhiqiu hesitated and said: "I'm afraid I can't leave the capital for too long." The capital is full of turmoil, and Mo Yi is the first to bear the brunt.

"It's only three months, and the destination is Yancheng." Ji Zhao smiled softly, "Don't you want to go back and have a look?"

"Yancheng..." Shen Zhiqiu pondered for a moment, then shook his head, "Three months, too long."

Ji Zhao lowered his voice, as if choked with sobs: "Brother Zhiqiu, do you have the heart to see our family die on the road?"

Shen Zhiqiu was most afraid of seeing girls cry, especially the one he watched and grew up with Ji Zhao. He frowned and said quickly: "Why don't you go back to Moyi with me, and I'll ask my juniors to escort you back to Yan City, they are no worse than me."

Seeing that he would not change his mind, Ji Zhao felt helpless for a while, and sighed, "You can only escort the dart this time."

Shen Zhiqiu was puzzled, "What's the meaning of this?"

Ji Zhao was silent.

Shen Zhiqiu whispered: "Ji Zhao, I'm sorry, I have to go back."

"Brother Zhiqiu, you are still stubborn." Ji Zhao wiped away tears with his sleeves, leaving a helpless expression on his face, "I will not let you go no matter what today, don't you think that I am How did you find yours?"

He and Ji Zhao hadn't seen each other for ten years, but in the morning he discovered that this old friend suddenly appeared in Xixi Bieyuan. It was too coincidental to say it was a coincidence.

Shen Zhiqiu thought of You Ming's arrival, and muttered to himself thoughtfully: "It's Han Bi..."

"Mr. Han said, you haven't returned to Yancheng for many years, you must miss me, my sister next door, so I asked someone to bring me here, saying that I will let you meet anyway." Ji Zhao laughed, "If you Follow me back to Yancheng, and we can still see Mi Lin, that would be great."

It is an unspeakable regret in Shen Zhiqiu's heart to leave his hometown and be separated from his old friends. Although he misses the past, the world is far away, and his old friends are like duckweed, so he has nowhere to go. Only Han Bi can see his loneliness , First they found You Ming, and then they invited Ji Zhao. All those deep-seated wishes turned into sudden surprises one after another.

He didn't want to leave the capital even more.

Action is worse than heartbeat, Shen Zhiqiu immediately wanted to jump out of the car.

Fortunately, Ji Zhao had quick eyesight and quick hands, and stopped him as soon as he finished speaking. Shen Zhiqiu subconsciously waved his sleeves to attack, and Ji Zhao easily caught him. He had no choice but to struggle around his wrist, but Ji Zhao refused to let go, grabbing his sleeve with both hands and not letting go.

Shen Zhiqiuyuan wanted to avoid her coercion, but the carriage was narrow and difficult to move, so he had no choice but to frown and say, "Let me go."

Ji Zhao glared at him and said, "I won't let you go, you bite me."

At this time, Ji Zhao completely showed the arrogance and rascal of her childhood, but it was a pity that Shen Zhiqiu rarely saw this side of her, so he couldn't deal with it at all at this time, so he could only sigh and ask, "What are you going to do? "

Ji Zhao pursed his lips tightly and refused to say a word.

Shen Zhiqiu said solemnly: "Ji Zhao, I believe you will not harm me, but I don't want anyone to lie to me."

As soon as the words fell, Shen Zhiqiu felt that her sleeves were finally freed from Ji Zhao's hands, and saw her hands hanging down, clutching the hem of the skirt, with her head lowered in embarrassment, Shen Zhiqiu then Guessing that his words were too harsh, he quickly explained: "I don't mean to blame you."

Ji Zhao softly said: "Brother Zhiqiu, you are right, I shouldn't have lied to you."

Shen Zhiqiu was dumbfounded.

"Mr. Han promised us 5000 taels of silver and asked us to transport his treasure to Yancheng." Ji Zhao was not a good liar at first, but now that he was reprimanded by Shen Zhiqiu slightly, he felt guilty and uncomfortable, so he broke his heart , Confidentially, "When we arrived at his other courtyard, we realized that this trip was not a rare treasure, but a person."

"Who is it?" Shen Zhiqiu heard for the first time that Han Bi would spend so much money to send others to Yancheng.

Ji Zhao gave him a strange look.

Shen Zhiqiu: "Huh?"

Ji Zhao: "It's you."

Shen Zhiqiu: "..."

Seeing him as if struck by lightning, Ji Zhao continued on his own: "Mr. Han said, if you stay in Beijing, you will be in danger, let me persuade you to leave, after all, you will definitely not hit me hard... …Brother Zhiqiu, this friend of yours really cares for you, much better than that Fang Hezi."

Shen Zhiqiu remembered Han Bi's tentative question to him last night: If I persuade you to temporarily avoid the sharp edge, will you listen to my words?

He knew that Han Bi understood him, but he didn't expect that it was precisely because Han Bi understood him that he would go all out to let Ji Zhao come to pick him up.

If it were Han Banbu and others who carried out this plan, Shen Zhiqiu would definitely be merciless on the spot when he knew the truth, but instead of Ji Zhao, who was desperately playing tricks, he would feel powerless and embarrassed.

Ji Zhao snorted softly, "If you leave me behind, I'll cry, make trouble, and hang myself in this wilderness."

Shen Zhiqiu was not good at words, so he could only persuade: "I will not abandon you, we can go back to Beijing together."

"If we let you go back to the capital, we have to pay Mr. Han double the price, and I can't even afford it if I sell it."

"Han Bi is not such a petty person."

"Who doesn't know in Jianghu, Mr. Han is not only stingy, he is really caressing... Well, he treats you very generously." Ji Zhao first sighed softly, and then asked casually, "Brother Zhiqiu, you and this Mr. Han Bi, what is the relationship?"

She seemed to mention it casually, but she completely defeated Shen Zhiqiu.

Ji Zhao: "Do you... like him?"

Shen Zhiqiu was taken aback for a moment, but didn't react at all.

Amused by his bewildered appearance, Ji Zhao chuckled, and after a while, she spoke again, but she had already changed the subject: "Brother Zhiqiu, I'm sorry, I was wrong this time."

"Since this matter was Han Bi's idea, I don't blame you." Shen Zhiqiu patted Ji Zhao's head, just like when he was a child, "A person who runs away from battle is not worthy of holding a sword. I can't be such a person. You let me I'll go back to Beijing."

Ji Zhao was also aware of Shen Zhiqiu's character, and his strong words showed that he had made up his mind, so she could only answer softly, "Okay."

The carriage turned back the same way.

When he was about to return to Xixi Bieyuan, the carriage stopped slowly, and Ji Zhao said solemnly: "I can only take you here, and you can go back on horseback for the rest of the way. Get in trouble."

Shen Zhiqiu: "It's okay."

After saying that, he was about to leave, but Ji Zhao grabbed his sleeve again. Shen Zhiqiu looked down and saw Ji Zhao's eyes were moist, full of reluctance. She took a deep breath, and then asked slowly: "Zhiqiu Brother, when I was about to leave Yancheng, why didn't you come to see me off?"

Shen Zhiqiu: "I didn't know that day was the day you were leaving."

"I obviously asked Fang Hezi to tell you." Ji Zhao thought about it, and finally understood everything. It turned out that the long wait was just an artificial miss, so she smiled slightly, "I was still thinking, if you Come see me off, and I will beg my father to marry me to you, so that I can stay in Yancheng forever and never leave again."

Shen Zhiqiu didn't know that Ji Zhao had admiration for him, so he was startled and didn't know how to react, so he could only reply falteringly: "If you just want to stay in Yancheng, you don't have to be wronged to marry me, you should marry you sweetheart."

Ji Zhao laughed and said, "Brother Zhiqiu, you are really smart."

Shen Zhiqiu didn't know why, so he just laughed along with her.

Ji Zhao slowly let go of Shen Zhiqiu's cuffs, and said earnestly, "Mr. Han treats you very differently. I don't want to see any misunderstanding between you. When you go back, remember to go to him first."

Stop making others wait for you, from sunrise to sunset.

Shen Zhiqiu: "I'll go find him now."

After all, Shen Zhiqiu got on the horse, and when he was leaving, Ji Zhao shouted loudly to his back: "Shen Zhiqiu! Fortunately, I got married a long time ago, you are simply an idiot, I don't like you at all—"

Shen Zhiqiu was so frightened that he almost fell off the horse, and turned the horse's head abruptly: "What?"

The light in her eyes gradually dimmed, but slowly turned into a relieved smile: "Go away, find your Mr. Han!"

After riding wildly, Shen Zhiqiu returned to Xixi Bieyuan, only to find that this quiet place was surrounded by people.

As soon as Shen Zhiqiu dismounted from his horse, he was invited in by someone who claimed to be the Jingcheng Guard, and there was a tall man standing inside, who seemed to be the leader of the Jingcheng Guard, but he looked careless, with his face unshaven.

He took a look and asked, "Are you Shen Zhiqiu?"

Shen Zhiqiu replied: "Exactly."

The leader-like man grinned and said, "Oh, my name is Han Yuan, and I'm your elder brother."

Shen Zhiqiu didn't understand, so he said, "Huh?"

Han Yuan sighed: "It's terrible that I want to arrest you when we first meet."

Only then did Shen Zhiqiu remember that Han Yuan was Han Bi's elder brother, and quickly asked, "Where's Han Bi?"

Han Yuan got angry when he thought of his immature brother, and replied: "In the prison, are you going to find him?"

Shen Zhiqiu nodded, and followed the Jingchengwei people away.

Han Yuan originally thought that it would take a lot of effort to capture a master of swordsmanship like Shen Zhiqiu, but he didn't expect that it would take no effort at all, but he was fooled by coaxing this person casually, and he couldn't help sighing in a low voice: "I didn't throw it away!" My younger brother, who runs away, is finally emphasizing love and righteousness, but he is indeed a bit stupid..."

Speaking of this, Han Yuan was unavoidably uneasy, and sighed heavily.
