"Fourth brother—you may really have some misunderstandings about Mr. Cao..."

Being dragged away from the study by his fourth brother, Yin Qi felt that he was almost frozen into ice by the air-conditioning around his fourth brother, but he didn't dare to look back at the distraught Mr. Cao again: "Fourth Brother—"

"Stay away from him in the future, do you hear me?"

Yinzhen completely ignored what he said, dragged his younger brother all the way back to the room, then frowned and spoke in a low voice, and worriedly looked up and down to see if he was being bullied.Seeing that the clothes were still in order, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Fifth brother, you are still young and not deeply involved in the world, so don't be taken advantage of by some imposingly dressed beasts..."

"..." Yinqi nodded mechanically, not daring to reply back, and stroked his chest flatteringly on behalf of his fourth brother: "Fourth brother, don't be angry, I will definitely pay attention in the future... By the way, four Brother—why did you suddenly go in at that time?"

"I saw Li Xu going out with Tanlang, so I knew it was just the two of you in that room, so I really couldn't let it go." Yinzhen pursed her lips and looked helplessly at this unconscious younger brother, raised her hand and rubbed vigorously. Rubbing his head, he sighed lightly and said, "There are evil people... Fifth brother, you always only look at the good side of people, but you have to be more careful, don't let yourself be eaten up." Lose, you know?"

"Understood." Yin Qi didn't dare to say anything else, so he nodded obediently, secretly regretting that he still couldn't ask what he wanted to ask, so he had to wait for another chance later, "fourth brother, left and right There is nothing wrong now, let me go out with you and go around..."

-

The situation is obviously more pessimistic than Yin Qi estimated - under the strict supervision of his fourth brother, Cao Yin did not dare to face Yin Qi alone for three days, and even as long as Yin Qi called Tanlang As soon as he wanted to go out, he immediately cried bitterly and hugged his thigh begging for mercy, not knowing how deep a shadow his fourth brother had left in his heart.Later, the Fifth Elder Brother, who had finally learned his lesson, resolutely threw Cao Yin out, leaving only Li Xu in the study, and finally broke the deadlock without any danger.

"Grandpa—what's your order?"

Seeing the little fifth master in front of him dragging a chair over by himself, Li Xu felt confused and asked a soft question tentatively.Yin Qi ignored him, stepped on the stool and climbed up by himself, tiptoed and took down a seemingly ordinary machete from the shelf: "Master Li, do you know this thing?"

"I know, it was passed down by the ancestors of the Cao family - I heard it was a reward from Master Zuo Ling back then." Li Xu replied blankly, feeling a little uneasy in his heart, "Fifth Lord... how can this scimitar be used?" What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just saw a wolf head like this elsewhere, so it looks familiar."

Finally found the correct way to open it, Yin Qi gave himself a thumbs up in his heart, caressed thoughtfully the lifelike wolf head carved on the handle of the machete, raised his head slightly and said slowly: "Master Li, do you know the shape of the wolf head - do you have any explanations and origins?"

"This is the totem of the Zhengbai Banner, and it has no special origin..."

Li Xu answered blankly, but for a moment he couldn't figure out what this little fifth master wanted to ask: "Every banner in Manchuria has its own totem, the Zhenghuang Banner is Haidongqing, and the Xianghuang Banner is a female leopard. Both the slave family and the Cao family have been coated with the Zhengbai flag for generations, and the totem of the Zhengbai flag is the blood wolf... As for the totems of the five banners, they are crows, wild boars, fish, snakes, frogs, etc., roughly like this ——Grandpa, what's the matter?"

Yin Qi shook his head, but he felt both relieved and a little horrified in his heart—he naturally knew that the spike pendant was by no means an ordinary thing, but he never thought that the silver-covered carving on it was so powerful. backing.Of course he was sure that Tanlang would never lie to him, but no one could guarantee whether what the old lady in Tanlang's family said was true, and whether what the businessman his mother mentioned was true.As long as there is one person lying here, the identity of Tanlang will definitely have a lot to do with it.

"Master Li, do you know - there is such a wolf head with a wolf tooth in its mouth, what is it?"

After hesitating for a moment, Yin Qi tentatively drew the shape of the pendant, but seeing Li Xu's complexion suddenly changed, he suddenly took a step forward and lowered his voice, "Master, did you see that thing? If you can get it, you must find a way to get it, and find a way to give it to the Lord Long Live—that is the jade wolf tooth that only the owner of the Zhengbai Banner can have. After the death of Lord Dorgon, the Zhengbai Banner belongs to the royal family. If you don’t set up a banner owner, the jade wolf tooth will be passed on to the Su family, and it will disappear after the Su family ransacked and beheaded. If you have the jade wolf tooth and the wolf pattern finger, you will have the right to mobilize the five ginseng, a total of one hundred and ten Five's Niu Lu Ezhen. If it wasn't for the long-awaited Lord Long Live who didn't get the Jade Spike, the Zhengbai Banner wouldn't still refuse to attach it all, and there are even two ginseng who have been clamoring to restore the banner owner..."

Yinqi listened to his words in astonishment, only felt a subtle premonition suddenly appeared in his heart, but he didn't dare to think deeply about it, just nodded slightly and said: "I see, you should step back first—— Don't let the third person know about this, or you will pay all the Jia family's money, do you hear?"

"Cha." Li Xu hastily responded, shut his mouth tightly and quickly left the study.Yin Qi sat on the chair by himself and stared blankly for a while, then suddenly smiled lightly and shook his head, he also left the study, and walked quickly towards the room where he was resting.

It was getting late, and two lamps were lit inside the room. The warm yellow lights made the whole room seem to be much warmer.Tan Lang is making the bed for him meticulously in front of the couch, with one layer of mattress on top of one layer of quilt, and several thick layers of fur on top, neatly arranged in a row of Mrs. Tang. Know how warm and comfortable it is to lie in.

Hearing the sound of Yin Qi's footsteps, Tan Lang hurriedly turned around to greet him, took the cloak from him and folded it aside, and joked with a warm voice: "Master, is this what you want to ask? The past few days Cao The adults are going crazy, and yesterday they were crying while hugging a tree..."

"I'm asking—but now I understand the origin of your pendant."

Yin Qi responded with a smile, leaned on the edge of the couch and fell on it comfortably, rolled two times comfortably, sighed contentedly, turned sideways and looked at his own guard with a dazed look on his side: "Greedy!" Wolf, your mother probably didn't tell you the truth, or the person who talked to your mother didn't tell the truth-you have a lot of background in this pendant. Before Huang Ama arrives, we have to go and meet She is an old man, I have some things I want to ask her clearly."

Never thought that this matter has something to do with him, so Tanlang replied blankly, feeling a little uneasy for no reason.Yin Qi turned over and sat up, but his eyes were still as clear and soft as before with a faint smile, he held his wrist and said softly: "Don't be afraid, it's not a big deal—besides, I have to cover up big things." As for you, it is guaranteed that you and your family will be safe, and no one can touch you."

His words are by no means alarmist. Among the changes of the Eight Banners in Manchuria, only the Zhengbai Banner is a blood-stained history.At that time, Dorgon forcibly raised the Zhengbai Banner he was leading to the upper three banners, but Shunzhi used thunderous means to bring it back to the royal family. Su Keshaha had to come forward to rebel against Dorgon, and he lost his handsome car to keep it. The last backbone of Zhengbaiqi.But Sukshaha couldn't hold on for long, and Aobai borrowed the hand of the young Emperor Kangxi to wipe out his entire family—this jade wolf tooth had already been stained with blood from too many people.Anyone who gets it will definitely not be a blessing, but a life-threatening talisman that will try everything.

But so what, my own guards, can't I still be unable to protect myself?Yinqi's eyes suddenly flashed a stubborn look, and subconsciously tightened his grip on Tanlang - this is his man, no matter who wants to move, even Huang Ama, he has to ask first Only if he agrees with it or not!

"Master..." Greedy Wolf looked at his expression and whispered worriedly.Only then did Yinqi wake up, shook his head and smiled lightly, put aside those distracting thoughts that were too far and too deep in his mind, jumped off the bed and looked at him and said, "Tianlang, taking advantage of the moonlight - we Go out for a walk?"

Because of this work-for-relief thing, Tanlang's family members were the first group of Kesi masters to be moved here, and they happened to live in this Jiangning City, and it only took a quarter of an hour to rush there. .Tan's mother was both surprised and happy when she saw her long-lost son return, but after hearing Yinqi's intention, she suddenly panicked and shook her head vigorously with a pale face, unwilling to say a word easily.

"Auntie, I'm not here to make trouble out of nothing, but to find out why."

Yinqi ordered Tanlang to guard the surrounding area with the seven-star guards, sat in the room by himself, patiently shook Tan's mother's hand, looked at her and said softly: "Although we are called master and servant, we are like brothers... we You can't just watch him fall into danger and not intervene to help, do you understand this?"

"But—but the baby did nothing wrong. Those things are the sins of the previous generations. They can't touch him, can't touch him..."

The old woman choked with sobs and shook her head vigorously, but suddenly she couldn't stop crying.Yinqi held her hand patiently, watching her mood slowly calm down, and then said softly: "I also know that I don't do anything about him, so I must protect him. But you have to let me know What is going on, I can have a place to start, and I won’t be at a loss—don’t you think so?”

He has always been the best at persuasion, and Tan's mother's mood has gradually calmed down after a few words, and she finally let go of her defenses, choked up and told the whole story—this is the bridge most willing to use in many TV dramas in the previous life Duan, rainy night, wilderness, a stranger hugged a child covered in blood and begged for help, and when the baby was handed over to the husband and wife, he lost his breath.The mace pendant had been stuffed in the swaddle from the beginning, and those words were made up according to the stranger's dying instructions.They only knew what the pendant was, but they never really knew its meaning and utility, and they never told the child the truth of the matter...

Tan Lang was stunned and wept, his body trembling uncontrollably, for a moment he didn't know how to react.In fact, Yinqi already had a rough guess in his heart, so he didn't feel surprised at this moment, walked up to him, took his hand, squeezed it twice and said in a low voice: "It's okay...it's okay, Ah - don't worry, let's find out slowly when we turn around..."

"Master..." Tanlang shook his head vigorously, subconsciously held that hand tightly, wiped away the tears on his face, and smiled at him as hard as he could: "I'm fine—I want to talk to you." Mother said a few words, and then we go back... okay?"

"Go, I'll wait for you outside." Yin Qi nodded, then raised his hand to wipe away the remaining tears for him, and said with a soft smile, "Let's talk slowly about what's going on, don't cry anymore ——It’s such a cold day, once you go out, you will freeze again..."

Tanlang couldn't help lowering his head and smiled shallowly, then nodded lightly, closed the cloak for him, and then backed away: "Master is waiting in the outer room, it's cold at night, don't catch the wind..."

"I'm not half a baby anymore, don't worry about talking to auntie, Pojun and the others are still outside." Yin Qi smiled and nodded, walked out quickly, and closed the door for them considerately.But the relaxed smile on his face disappeared the moment he went out, leaving only a slight solemnity and astringency.

According to Tan's mother, there is a [-]% to [-]% chance that Tanlang is the orphan of the Su family.Although Huang Ama did mention how helpless he was when he executed Sukshaha in the past, but after all, the whole family was copied and executed, and the imperial power cannot be questioned after all, and he was not sure whether Huang Ama would treat such an innocent child. Make an exception—not to mention Su's family being wronged for nothing, Zhengbaiqi's grievances from generations of dissatisfaction, and so many death warnings being raised high, he must ensure that Tanlang and his family members can be protected , but really have to think of a safe enough way.

One plan after another in his mind was overthrown one after another, and he was in a trance of distress, when the door was gently pushed open, but Tanlang walked out slowly from inside.Although his eyes were still slightly red and swollen, his expression had completely calmed down. Standing in front of his little master, he smiled and said softly, "Master, let's go back."

Yin Qi nodded, just walked out the door and suddenly stood still, raised his voice slightly: "Wu Qu, you stay and guard this family, and you must not let them suffer any harm--listen?"

To be honest, he couldn't figure out where his hidden guards were usually ambushing, so he simply raised his voice to call for someone when he needed it, no matter where he would emerge from, as long as someone responded, that would be enough.Even though he saw that the Tan family had never had that red light when he came back, since something happened to him last time, he didn't dare to blindly trust the omen of that thing anymore, he just thought it's better to be on the safe side.

He spoke calmly, but Tanlang's expression changed slightly, and he subconsciously said anxiously: "Master, no, the Seven Star Guards are used to do things for the master—"

"So now I ask them to help me protect the Tan family, what's wrong?"

Yinqi raised his eyebrows and smiled faintly, then patted his shoulder in a sophisticated way, and said with a scheming chuckle at him: "You don't know, every master of Kesi can lay golden eggs for Zhizaofu now. My treasures - I have to take good care of each one, and it would be a huge loss if I hurt one..."

Tanlang felt his heart sore and scalding hot, he bowed his head with sobs and couldn't speak.Yin Qi didn't say any more, and explained a few words to Wu Qu, then got on the horse with him, and ran all the way back to Cao's mansion.

This back and forth has been tossing and going out for nearly an hour, the night is getting late, but Yin Qi is still rarely sleepy, went back to his room to change clothes, and then sat on the couch with Tan Lang again: "We all know what happened today, let me think about how to deal with it, and then we can make plans—don't worry, you've come here safely for so many years, why did I ask you this question, On the contrary, I can't get An Sheng..."

"Master, don't say that - this subordinate knows in his heart that you have always really thought of me."

Tanlang thought about too many words along the way, but in the end there was only one sentence left.He is not the kind of person who doesn't know what to do, and naturally knows Yinqi's good intentions - the mace pendant on his body is a reminder, and his identity is destined to be shady.There is no impenetrable wall in the world, and those who should come will come sooner or later. My little master has been chasing him all the way, but it is precisely to find out what is going on here, and to think of a way to completely protect him.Even though Yinqi didn't say a word about this painstaking effort, it was clear in his heart like a mirror.

"There's no need for us to talk about those birthdates—you come up too, after the matter over there is clarified, I'll tell you about the Jade Spike again."

Yin Qi couldn't help but drag Tan Lang to the bed, and then explained Li Xu's words to him in detail.Tanlang became more and more frightened when he heard it, cold sweat covered his forehead, and finally fully understood why his little master was so eager to find out his identity, and immediately knelt down in front of Yinqi, choking with sobs: "Tanlang... Thank you master for saving your life!"

"Hey——I said we don't mention this between us, get up, let's get down to business."

Yin Qi hurriedly pulled him up, then shook his wrist and said a few words of comfort in a slow voice.Tanlang looked at the unadulterated concern in his eyes, but suddenly took off the wolf tooth pendant from his neck, and gently placed it by his hand: "Master—let's return this thing to you." Your Majesty, this is not something I can afford..."
