Take the sword out of Yanjing

Take a second look.

"You look good in black."

In his heart, Li Meng didn't want to be wrapped in black all day long, it reminded him of the first time he met Zhao Luoyi, and also reminded him of what Zhao Luoyi relied on for food.If there is hope, Li Meng doesn't want to be a killer, but he knows that the children who grew up in the Shifang Building, no matter what their origins, will end up being like this.

Seeing that he was unhappy, Zhao Luoyi wanted to say something, but didn't.

When Li Meng went out, he saw that the door of the next room was wide open. He poked his head around and saw that Huo Lianyun was not there, so he closed the door behind him, and then went downstairs with his purse in his hands.

Li Meng went downstairs, Huo Lianyun flashed out from the other side of the corridor, leaning against Zhao Luoyi's door.

"The pastries that your apprentice bought yesterday, are you ready to eat?"

Zhao Luoyi didn't respond, and avoided Huo Lianyun, putting away the roll of cloth.

Huo Lianyun didn't pay much attention, seeing the paper package spread out on the table, the crumbs on the paper were the black slag from the sesame cake.

"Don't you think he was absent-minded when he came back after going out for too long?" Huo Lianyun rubbed his thumbs and looked at Zhao Luoyi with a smile.

"What's the matter?" Zhao Luoyi thought about getting another weapon. Although the bong is good, if you use it too often, it will wear out sooner or later.He stuffed the bong into the bag casually, took out the dagger and carried it with him.

"After arriving in Fengyang, you, master and apprentice, will obey my orders. You, you are my little husband-in-law, and your apprentice, pretend to be my school boy." Huo Lianyun imagined that Zhao Luoyi would be furious.

"Oh."

Huo Lianyun was overjoyed, "You promised to be my husband?"

Zhao Luoyi glanced at him coldly, "I won't be the one to be ashamed."

Zhao Luoyi is tall, imposing, and doesn't dress up too much. If he and Huo Lianyun are really pretending to be a pair, ordinary people will naturally guess that Huo Lianyun is the one below.Zhao Luoyi has always been informal, if he could move easily, he would naturally agree.

"It's boring." Huo Lianyun lowered his face, and took out two tokens from his body, both two fingers wide, made of bronze, with Kui patterns on the front and cloud algae on the back, with the word "Huo" written in bas-relief, "Bring this, it's I'm from the Huo Mansion, Lord Hou will protect you two."

Zhao Luoyi was noncommittal, picked up one of them with two slender fingers, and left the other on the table.

Huo Lianyun looked around.

"The door is behind you." Zhao Luoyi said.

"Don't go yet." After saying that, Huo Lianyun walked into the room, fell on Zhao Luoyi's bed, closed his eyes, and took a breath, "Why are you so uncute when you grow up? Didn't you hang out with Brother Yun when you were young? "

The room was quiet, Zhao Luoyi packed her luggage and opened the window.

The painting boat that Li Meng looked at yesterday with curiosity is still there, two maidservants in green clothes are sitting at the bow, their lotus root white feet are washing in the green waves.One of them looked up and saw Zhao Luoyi, covered his mouth and said something with a smile to his companion, the other maid raised her hand to cover up the strong sunlight, and also saw Zhao Luoyi, the two of them were very close, as if they were whispering something about Zhao Luoyi.Nine autumn chrysanthemums were tied side by side on the colored silk hanging on both sides of the black-covered boat, and Zhao Luoyi narrowed his eyes slightly.

"I'll go out for a while, don't mess up the bed."

"Hey, I haven't given my medicine yet..." Huo Lianyun yelled twice, and when he heard the door closing, he knew that Zhao Luoyi had something to do and would not talk to him, so he stared at the curtain with some disappointment, and stroked the painful sword wound on his right chest .

Zhao Luoyi stepped onto the boat, and ripples spread out from under the side of the boat.

When it was time to take out the money, Zhao Luoyi felt around on her body, only to remember that the money bag was for Li Meng to buy breakfast.At this time, I was already on the boat, and it was too late to leave.

Seeing his embarrassment, the two maidservants covered their mouths and laughed.

"Don't look, you dare to board our girl's boat if you don't have money." The maidservants held oars and wanted to fork Zhao Luoyi into the water.

The ship was shaking, the voices were noisy, and the Xiangfei bamboo curtain hanging in front of the cabin made a crisp sound.

"Who is making noise outside..." Before the words finished, the beauty frowned slightly, and scolded the maidservants: "It's playing around again, hurry up and make tea."

The two maidservants looked at each other, one of them went to make tea, the other lifted the anchor, reached the bank with a long pole, pushed the boat and slid towards the middle of the river.

"It's my fault, the money went to buy food for my apprentice." Zhao Luoyi stared at the white mist rising from the tea bowl in embarrassment, and said, "When the boy comes back, let him deliver it to the boat for you."

The woman was dressed in water-red, covered with a snow-white gauze gown that reached her ankles.Zhao Luoyi was given a tea bowl, and he used a sapphire teacup to sip tea.

"About apprenticeship?" Qin Zhenzhen asked, pushing the refreshments towards Zhao Luoyi.

Zhao Luoyi had no choice but to pick up a piece of pastry that he didn't know what was in his finger, and said absent-mindedly "Yes", and said for a while, "Two years ago, in Zhong'an, I took money from people in the court."

"What's the origin of the boy?"

Zhao Luoyi dipped his fingers in the tea and wrote on the case.

Qin Zhenzhen thought for a while, then nodded: "The people in the court are cunning and deceitful, but this person was an official at the time, and the emperor was young, so there are many factions in the court, so it is right not to be optimistic about him. Unexpectedly, after the chaos was cleared, the emperor was willing to come down Killer, two years ago in Zhong'an City, blood flowed into rivers overnight, not just this family." Qin Zhenzhen spoke very gently, fingers dexterously placed on Zhao Luoyi's wrist, a thin ray of light leaked in from the pane, illuminating Qin Zhenzhen's eyebrows and eyes Lightly, her fluffy hair hangs down at her waist, as if she just got up, her face still has traces of makeup from last night.

Looking at her face, Zhao Luoyi first saw that the agitation of Jiuju on the boat had calmed down.

"I've been doing my best all these years." Qin Zhenzhen withdrew her hand, "When I left, I took two boxes of medicine. I prepared it for you half a year ago. If you didn't come, you just ruined my good medicine. I just remade it last month. Take some, take it with warm water in the morning and evening, don’t secretly reduce the dosage.”

Zhao Luoyi said "En", and was about to speak, when he heard someone outside yelling to let the boat pull over, because the voice was familiar, he poked his head to look.

Zhao Luoyi: "..."

Li Meng was startled: "..."

But Li Meng went out to buy breakfast, after eating tofu nao and a bowl of small wontons, Zhao Luoyi's wallet was very secure.He heard from Zhao Luoyi that he left Yongyin only in the afternoon, and when he walked to the bridge, he saw a beautifully painted boat rowing on the river, even more exquisite than what he saw yesterday.Li Meng remembered that Zhao Luoyi always sneered that he had never seen the world, so he planned to go to the boat to see and see, so that his master could respect him.

Li Mengcai grabbed the long pole and walked to the board, but was kicked into the cabin by Zhao Luoyi, and snatched the money bag.Zhao Luoyi held Sui Yin in his hand, seeing the maid curiously peeking into the cabin, obviously curious about the guests who boarded the ship this time.

Zhao Luoyi let go of the broken silver with his fingers, and pulled out a 500 tael silver note.

Wrinkled a little, but the servant girl looked carefully that it was a real bank note, with the seal and watermark of Dasheng Bank, so she blushed and said: "My lord gave too much, our lady will scold me when she sees it."

"No." Zhao Luoyi said, after thinking for a while, he took out two pieces of broken silver, reckoning that there could be five or six pieces of silver, and motioned to the back of the boat.

The servant girl took it: "Understood, thank you for your reward."

inside the ship.

Li Meng stared at Qin Zhenzhen intently, she had her own way of cooking tea, the water was boiled outside, and Zhao Luoyi brought it in by herself.

He just had breakfast, and a bowl of strong tea is the best way to digest his food, but Li Mengguang was a bit drunk seeing Qin Zhenzhen's appearance, so he took the tea slowly.

Zhao Luoyi patted him on the head.

Li Meng was furious when the tea was spilled, and was about to jump up, but when he saw clearly that it was Zhao Luoyi, he had to hold back.

"I don't know the girl's name. My master is a rough man. I have wronged the girl."

One sentence made Qin Zhenzhen smile, "Your master is very good."

Li Meng was still thinking about the meaning of "very good", Zhao Luoyi had already sat down beside him, so Li Meng had to sit upright, not daring to move at all.

He couldn't stop thinking in his heart, Zhao Luoyi came out early in the morning to find a girl, and sent him away on purpose, it was too meaningless.Looking at Qin Zhenzhen's face, there are all kinds of flowers in this world. Li Meng lost his mother in his early years, and the several aunts had their own looks, but he always remembered that his mother's appearance in the paintings was graceful and charming, which made him People can't help feeling pity when they see it.When Li Meng was young, he often thought that whenever his mother was alive, he would take good care of her.

"What are you looking at?" Zhao Luoyi slapped the back of the head again. Li Meng turned his head and saw that Zhao Luoyi's face was reddish.

"Troubleshooting today." Zhao Luoyi grabbed Li Meng's shoulder and got up to say goodbye.

Qin Zhenzhen fetched two wooden boxes, and Zhao Luoyi held one in each hand.

Qin Zhenzhen said, "Can you come back?"

"Come when you come across it." Zhao Luoyi pressed Li Meng on his chest, and the two master and apprentice stood on the bow of the boat for a while, and then went ashore.

Li Meng looked back frequently, the cabin was covered by bamboo curtains, Qin Zhenzhen didn't come out to see her off, Li Meng became more and more angry, because Zhao Luoyi was in the way, finally saw a woman who was somewhat similar to his mother, Zhao Luoyi refused to let her go read.When he has money, he will definitely come to see it and remember the characteristics of this ship carefully.Li Meng fell behind Zhao Luoyi, looked and looked again and again, Zhao Luoyi was almost out of sight, so he hurried to catch up.

……

"Have you got the medicine?" Huo Lianyun was still lying on the bed, smiling and greeting Li Meng who followed Zhao Luoyi into the door.

Zhao Luoyi let out a "hmm" and went to put away the wooden box.

It turned out that it wasn't the woman's token of love, I don't know what it was.Li Meng remembered that when Zhao Luoyi asked him to give medicine, there were many medicine bottles in that drawer, and he was too hasty when he left, so he didn't even think about taking them.It seems that Zhao Luoyi didn't find the woman on the boat casually, so Li Meng calmed down a little.

"Just eat lunch at the inn?" Huo Lianyun asked.

"You decide." Zhao Luoyi replied irresistibly, standing condescendingly by the bed, "Go to your room."

So under Li Meng's watchful eyes, the two went to the next door, and a man as big as Li Meng stood in the room, being ignored for life.Li Meng is a bit...＠￥#￥%＠×.He grabbed a handful of fried beans from the oiled paper bag he had just brought back, and sat on the cabinet by the window, the river breeze was refreshing, Li Meng chewed the beans, and his thoughts drifted back to Zhong'an City.He just felt that the road ahead was very uncertain, and even with two masters around him, he still felt uneasy.

After changing the medicine, he panted continuously and undulated in the small space.

Zhao Luoyi squeezed Huo Lianyun's jaw tightly, Huo Lianyun turned over, resting his chin on Zhao Luoyi's shoulder, greedily smelling the strong manly aura on his body, the never-extinguishing fire in his heart burned again.

"Is there something wrong with you there? When you pass by Nanzhou, go to the idle house and ask someone to show you." Huo Lianyun teased, and couldn't help glancing into Zhao Luoyi's collar from the corner of his eyes, "Is your back healed? Show me."

Zhao Luoyi ignored him, got up to pack Huo Lianyun's medicine, and replied, "It's scabbed, it's very itchy."

"Itchy?" Huo Lianyun said in a manly voice, "Brother scratches it for you, and it won't itch."

Zhao Luoyi didn't seem to hear it at all, she packed up her things and opened the door to go out.

When he returned to his room, he saw Li Meng sitting at the window watching, and said indifferently, "That ship will not pass under the window again today."

Li Meng came down from the window and spread the fried beans on the table.

Zhao Luoyi picked one up without much interest, rubbed it back and forth on her fingertips, and stared at Li Meng with eyes that were always listless.

Li Meng glanced at Hu Dou, feeling uncomfortable and covering his neck.Careless, it's not once or twice that Zhao Luoyi used these little things as hidden weapons.

"This time in Lingzhou, Huo Lianyun and I got into a lot of trouble. Someone bought the two of us to kill a man named Huo Lianyun. That man should have something very important on him. Now that the news has leaked out, it was us who killed him. There will be people chasing us along the way, in order to get rid of the chasing, we must find that thing and give it to the person who should have it, so as to avoid future troubles forever."

Li Meng's eyes widened, he swallowed hastily, and drank a cup of tea to suppress his shock.

"Master, this is the first time you have said so many words at once."

"..." Zhao Luoyi gave Li Meng a cool look.

"Yes, yes, I know, Master doesn't like nonsense." Li Meng grabbed the small bench under his buttocks, and took two steps towards Zhao Luoyi, "What is that thing? Can you tell me?"

Zhao Luoyi looked away, "It's called Baibingpu, it's from Fengyang Wangjiazhuang. If the thing on He Ruiting is true, then the owner of Wangjiazhuang should be dead."

A light suddenly lit up in Li Meng's mind.

Isn't what Xiao Changchu wants is the Hundred Soldiers Book?

"If the thing on He Ruiting is real, why should we go to Wangjiazhuang already has hundreds of troops?" Li Meng felt wrong.

Zhao Luoyi drew out the dagger, and flicked the blade with his index finger casually.

"Huo Lianyun wants this thing, and wants him to believe that it's not in my hands."

Li Meng stared suddenly, and was ecstatic in his heart: it took no effort to get it, his face was calm, he only looked very surprised.

The cold sword light was reflected on Zhao Luoyi's brows. The deep scars did not destroy his handsomeness, but brought so strong aura that people ignored his facial features.

The author has something to say: Please tease me [serious face]

On the second floor of Shifang Building, there are four killers, according to the four beasts: Taotie, Chaos, Wuwu, and Qiongqi. From the highest to the youngest, the master is the last one.

☆, killing heart

Opening up the worn-out bag, what Zhao Luoyi took out was very familiar to Li Meng. It was the roll of silk that Zhao Luoyi was flipping through when he woke up in the morning.

"Master?" Li Meng looked at Zhao Luoyi puzzled.

Turn the silk silk over, and suddenly there are three characters embroidered with three black threads flying dragons and phoenixes in the vertical row on the right, which means the color is very new.

Li Meng pressed the tapestry, swallowing nervously, his eyes were full of disbelief.

"Huo Lianyun searched that day, but the things are not with me." Zhao Luoyi raised his eyebrows indifferently, put the short sword on the table, and squinted slightly to stare at the cold blade.

After contacting each other before and after, Li Meng understood that Zhao Luoyi had hidden this thing in a safe and reliable place during the body search, whether it was a coincidence or consciously.Two days before they left Lingzhou, it was not difficult for Zhao Luoyi to go back at night to get it.Take the Hundred Soldiers Book and go to Xiao Changchu, and she will be able to lure the Gu worms out of her body to save her life.

Li Meng was in a trance for a while, and sweat broke out on his forehead.

"What's wrong with your hand?" Zhao Luoyi took Li Meng's hand.

Only then did Li Meng regain his senses, and withdrew his hand indifferently, "I accidentally cut it, and I don't know where I made the wound."

Li Meng thought quickly, even if he got the things, he would not be able to contact Xiao Changchu, and Zhao Luoyi would find out soon, why not wait for Xiao Changchu to look for him again, and then take away the Hundred Soldier Book.Having made up his mind, Li Meng let go of his nervousness, rolled up the roll of silk, and quickly stuffed it back into his bag.

"Such an important thing, don't take it out casually."

Zhao Luoyi stared at his every move.

Li Meng looked at the silent Zhao Luoyi in a strange way, and called out, "Master?"

"Let's leave Yongyin in the afternoon. If you like the chestnut cakes you bought last time, you can buy some more and save them on the way." After speaking, Zhao Luoyi gave Li Meng some money, saying that he and Huo Lianyun had something to do, and ordered Li Meng to buy it. For food on the road, wait for them to come back to the road at the inn.

Li Meng didn't suspect him, on the way to Jiaweiju, he unknowingly came to the courtyard where Xiao Changchu kidnapped him that day.

The door of that family was closed, Li Meng thought for a while, and went to knock on the door.

Separated by a wall, Zhao Luoyi bent over in the darkness at the corner, holding a short sword in his hand, and pressing his thumb and two middle fingers on the scabbard.

He poked out a pair of eyes, a little disappointed in the falcon-like eyes.

The door opened, but Li Meng had never seen the gatekeeper, so Li Meng asked, "My master ordered me to find out if Miss Xiao Chang and Chu Xiao are still here?"

"You knocked on the wrong door. I haven't heard of Miss Xiao."

The janitor closed the door vigilantly, as Li Meng expected, but he was not disappointed.But if Xiao Changchu had left this place, it would be difficult to get in touch again. Li Meng only wanted to get rid of the Gu worms on his body quickly and save his life, and he had nothing else to think about.

Looking from a distance, Zhao Luoyi saw that his apprentice was devastated. He left the door and headed towards Jiaweiju.

"Dong dong dong".

The gatekeeper, who was interrupted from his drowsiness by knocks on the door one after another, was quite impatient. Seeing the visitor's expression was unkind, with a long scar on the edge of his brow, he was a little scared.

"Who are you looking for?"

"There was a boy just now, who came to ask you?"

The janitor smiled, "How can any young man come here, did you misread it?"

Before he finished speaking, the janitor's palm felt cold. He spread his hands and looked, his pupils constricted. He immediately nodded and bowed and replied to Zhao Luoyi: "The young man asked a girl named Xiao. Sounds good, what he inquired about was a girl named Xiao Changchu."

As soon as the voice fell, the figure in front of him disappeared in a flash.The gatekeeper didn't care too much, he spread his hand, and there was a shining golden scorpion in his palm, assuming that today is a lucky day, he didn't care about the interrupted sleepiness, he didn't want to sleep.

After buying chestnut cakes from Jiaweiju, Li Meng wandered the streets for nearly an hour. Li Meng was born in Ruizhou, Northwest China, later in Zhong'an, and then in Lingzhou. It was a brand new water town for him.

Walking in front of a flower shop, Li Meng couldn't move his feet when he saw so many colors of purple and red.

"How do you sell this flower?" Li Meng squatted in front of the plant that he couldn't name.

"That's barely considered a flower, but the color is very inconspicuous. If you want to buy flowers, wintersweet is the best these days." The vendor came out to greet her enthusiastically.

"I want this." Li Meng fell in love with it at first sight, and he didn't want to change it.

The vendor got a flower pot for Li Meng, and he chose not so much a flower, but a pot of grass.The leaves are emerald green, with scale-shaped markings, lush and lush, very pleasing.

"If you are in low spirits on weekdays, pinch a mint leaf and hold it in your mouth, it will refresh your mind. That's enough, brother, take it well, and come back next time."

Li Meng hugged the flower pot and the pastry, and looked around all the way, but he didn't find anyone following him.

Walking around the ground left and right, I watched a cockfight, and I won four coins after throwing two copper coins.Because Li Meng remembered that he was leaving Yongyin today, he didn't dare to delay, so he just bought some snail meat and spicy dishes across the street from the inn, after thinking about it, he bought plum wine.

Li Meng returned to the inn, but Zhao Luoyi hadn't returned yet, so he went to the courtyard, put away the two thin robes that were out in the sun yesterday, and stacked them neatly, feeling sleepy, he simply lay on the bed and planned to sleep while waiting for Zhao Luoyi to come back.

About to touch a cup of tea, Zhao Luoyi pushed the door and entered, his hands and feet were very light.

Li Meng didn't wake up, and fell into a deep sleep.

The fleshy cheeks on the young man's face didn't fade away, Zhao Luoyi looked down, remembering that after Li Meng was taken away from Zhong'an, he didn't speak or eat all day long.Zhao Luoyi was inexperienced in coaxing people, and he was unwilling to accept apprentices, and even thought of throwing Li Meng on the road.

It was also ice and snow at that time, after Zhao Luoyi left, she was restless for half a day, and went back to look for her again.When he left, he only said, "I have something to do. I'll leave for a while. If you can stay, you can wait here. If you can't wait, if someone is willing to give you something to eat, you don't have to wait for me."

It is a corridor in the center of the lake that is ventilated on all sides, and the winding corridor leads directly to the pavilion in the center of the lake. It is a common entertainment place for local people.It has been snowing heavily for days, and the lake has been frozen into ice, so no one watches the fish.

What Zhao Luoyi saw was Li Meng curled up beside the pillar, dozing off.

Such a small ball, wearing the second-hand old robe he bought casually two days ago, it grew a bit, and now it was like an old quilt wrapped around Li Meng's thin body.

It was time to leave without a sound at that moment, anyway, a fat woman with the appearance of a prostitute had been standing suspiciously not far away for a long time.Zhao Luoyi could almost imagine that after she left, the matchmaker, no matter whether it was an official or a private matchmaker, could take Li Meng away and sell him into a good or bad family.

Zhao Luoyi took off the cloak casually, wrapped Li Meng up, hugged him in his arms, and walked away quickly.

When Li Meng woke up, they were already on their way to Ruizhou Shifanglou. The child must have been woken up by the horse, and there was an unspeakable tacit understanding between the two masters and apprentices.

The first thing Li Meng said was: "I seem to have a fever, please find some medicine."

Being a young master is used to him, and Li Meng doesn't know how to be polite.It was also because his brain was burnt out. Li Meng later felt that he was brave enough to say that to Zhao Luoyi who killed people without batting an eyelid.

Zhao Luoyi held the blade between his two fingers, and his eyes fell on the table.

A pot of mint, two cardboard boxes from Jiaweiju, and food from the roasted seeds and nuts stall opposite.The snail meat has a strong taste, even if he didn't take it apart to eat, Zhao Luoyi's keen sense of smell still told him that Li Meng just stood opposite for a long time just to buy the snail meat.The rough spring bottle next to it should be the plum wine I drank yesterday.

Pushing aside Li Meng's neckline with one hand, the kid slept restlessly, frowning, grabbed Zhao Luoyi's hand, and rubbed his face against it. After a while, he threw away Zhao Luoyi, hugged the quilt again and made out.

Zhao Luoyi squinted.

He wants to kill people, but with his hands up and down with a knife, a kid like Li Meng with three-legged kung fu is as easy to deal with as a weak scholar who has no strength to restrain a chicken. He takes people's lives invisible, and when Li Meng After death, the blood soaks through the bedding, and the pain is not even felt, and they can die in Huangquan.

A moment of stillness.

Zhao Luoyi's other hand reached for Li Meng's neck veins, and his rough fingers touched Li Meng's raw flesh.Li Meng is young, although he has been entrusted by Zhao Luoyi's east and west in the past two years, he has not suffered any hardships, and the demeanor of the former Minister of the Ministry of Justice is still there.

Thinking of Li Ling, thinking of Qin Zhenzhen's words "Gentleness", Zhao Luoyi leaned over but didn't move, his mind was slowly thinking about taking Chen Shuo's money.

After all, Li Meng couldn't make waves. If he really wanted something, he just stared at it, and he wouldn't tell the boy to turn himself upside down.

The killer Qiongqi didn't feel that he was softening his heart at all.

Although he was taught by his master that he was not smart enough, Qiongqi himself did not admit it. After all, he was able to successfully complete hundreds of votes and brought countless gold and silver to Shifanglou. He firmly refused to admit that it was all luck.

At that moment, Li Meng felt something cold sticking to his neck, his whole body was stiff, and his back was covered with cold sweat.

Zhao Luoyi hadn't decided at all yet.

There was a sudden change, Li Meng opened his eyes vaguely, with the frizzy expression on his face when he just woke up, seeing that it was Zhao Luoyi, as if he had been pardoned, with his arms hanging around Zhao Luoyi's neck.

Zhao Luoyi's pupils constricted and he froze.

Li Meng could still feel Zhao Luoyi's hand against the side of his neck, his back was wet with sweat, and his head was resting on Zhao Luoyi's shoulder, panting heavily.

"What for?" Zhao Luoyi asked indifferently.

As his hand moved away, the hand holding Li Meng's heart loosened, and he rubbed against Zhao Luoyi's shoulder. Zhao Luoyi didn't know what happened, but Li Meng had a nightmare and was afraid.

Li Meng also seemed to be afraid, trembling all over.

Zhao Luoyi's hands froze behind Li Meng's back for a moment, and the two hands briefly touched, the blade was already hidden in his sleeve.

Instead, Zhao Luoyi patted Li Meng on the back. It was the first time for Zhao Luoyi to hug a young man so intimately. He felt a little strange, but he was always a master, and that guy Wu Wu was like a mother when he became a master.

"Okay, are you having a nightmare?"

Pushed away by Zhao Luoyi, seeing that Li Meng's eye circles were still red, Zhao Luoyi got up and twisted a damp cloth to wipe his face.

"It's not shameful for such an adult to still cry."

The two got close, Li Meng sniffled, and said with a puckered mouth: "No matter how embarrassing it is for Master to see it, it's not considered embarrassing."

"..." Zhao Luoyi thought for a while before asking, "What did you dream about?"

Li Meng lowered his head and picked his fingers without speaking.

Zhao Luoyi thought that Li Meng's biggest setback since he was a child was that the only thing he had stolen from his house was probably because he dreamed about his father and brother.

Li Meng calmed down, but said: "Master." His eye circles were still red, and his eyes were wide open, reminding Zhao Luoyi of that black dog.

"Say."

"Master won't think I'm in the way, so just leave me?" Li Meng Baba asked.

Sure enough, he dreamed about his father and brother, Zhao Luoyi said indifferently: "I will not die before you."

"..." Li Meng took the handkerchief, wiped his nose vigorously, and asked Zhao Luoyi, "When are we leaving?"

Zhao Luoyi was about to speak when someone knocked on the door outside. It was Huo Lianyun who asked him to go out for dinner.

After the meal, Zhao Luoyi carried the burden on her body, tied Li Meng's sword, carried him onto the horse first, and then led the horse out of the stable.

Huo Lianyun was already waiting, and when he heard the sound of horseshoes, he rode forward.

Zhao Luoyi hugged Li Meng in front of him, and put the bamboo hat behind his back to cover his burden.

"Hold the horse's neck if you can't sit still."

Zhao Luoyi's voice came from above his head, and Li Meng gave a resounding "Hmm".

Leaving Yongyin City, the road is full of lush mountains, and the cold wind is especially harsh when driving in winter.Li Meng's exposed ears were shaved red, Zhao Luoyi pinched her hands from time to time, and occasionally lowered her head directly to breathe on Li Meng's ears.

Li Meng was holding the mint he bought, and specially wrapped the flower pot with cloth, with only a section of green leaves exposed.

"You are still a child, but you are cute." Huo Lianyun took a sip of hot tea. There were no customers in the roadside tea shop, and the roadside became less and less deserted, because the new year was closed and there were three days before New Year's Eve.

"It's hard to make a big deal."

Not far away, Li Meng heard Zhao Luoyi's cold comments. He still tilted his head and looked at his mint, and asked the boss for some water. Taking advantage of the midday, it is not easy to frostbite the grass roots, and water the mint.

"With a master like you, what big things can he do? You have done all the big things by yourself." Huo Lianyun laughed loudly, "There are still three stops to Fengyang City. Rest."

"You arrange it." Zhao Luoyi was still looking at Li Meng.

Huo Lianyun looked at Zhao Luoyi with strange eyes. Zhao Luoyi hardly cared about half of the things throughout the year. After leaving Yongyin, he paid attention to this apprentice. It's been a month since I've been half-baked, and my heart is still aching."

"You can go back to Lingzhou first and call Zhuwu to go."

"I've been with you all the way, working for your master and apprentice. You spend the same money, eat the same food, and sleep in the same bed. Why, do you want to throw it away after you use it up?" Huo Lianyun raised his eyebrows and gritted his teeth: " And you let me stay in Lingzhou alone, what if someone kills me."

Zhao Luoyi said impatiently: "No one can kill you."

Huo Lianyun was dumbfounded for a moment, and pointed to his right chest, "Then how do you count?"

"You don't take that hit, stab me, save trouble."

"..." Huo Lianyun almost jumped up, wanting to get angry at Zhao Luoyi.

Zhao Luoyi stood up and said to Li Meng, "Let's go."

Li Meng quickly wrapped up the flowerpot and asked Zhao Luoyi to carry him on the horse. Huo Lianyun angrily gave him tea money and hurriedly followed. Once Zhao Luoyi left, he would not wait for him in front.

☆, entering the industry

At dusk, a group of people arrived in Qiyang. Because of the battle outside the city, Huo Lianyun's white clothes were covered with blood spots. He wrapped a dark green cloak around his body and led the two of them to interrogate the prefect of Qiyang.

Under Huo Lianyun's identity as Lord Marquis, but he didn't know where he got the token, he lied in a decent way, claiming that he was working for the emperor, and wanted to investigate He Ruiting's death along the way.

Li Meng stood beside him carrying his burden, and Zhao Luoyi acted as Huo Lianyun's subordinates.After Huo Lianyun finished speaking with the magistrate, he rested in the yamen of Qiyang magistrate.All the way through the corridor with bright lights, no one spoke on the road, and the two servants of the house led them.

In the dark night, the huge prefect's yamen was full of shadows, Li Meng could not blink his eyes.

In Zhong'an's mansion that year, there was also such a long corridor. The front hall could be used for meetings with officials, and the back hall lived with relatives.It's just that those memories are already like a lantern being blown around by the wind, leaving only a star of light, which is left in the quiet night and occasionally remembered.

The magistrate's yamen has a very large place. Three people live in a separate courtyard.

Huo Lianyun and Zhao Luoyi both changed their clothes because of the killing outside the city. Li Meng wanted to wash Zhao Luoyi's clothes. Seeing Huo Lianyun's clothes in another big wooden basin, he glanced at Zhao Luoyi who was squatting on the flower table beside him smoking a cigarette. .

"Second Martial Uncle's, I don't wash them." Li Meng made a short voice.

When Zhao Luoyi looked over, he saw only a black head, Li Meng was bending over to fetch water, and his robe was stained with dark water.

At this time, Jieshui was bitingly cold, and Li Meng's hands turned red from rubbing, and under the light of the porch, they looked like ten small carrots.

"Put it on hold, tell him to wash it by himself tomorrow." Zhao Luoyi said casually, many thoughts flooded his mind.

The apprentice is not necessarily a drag, Li Meng is a careful person, always revealing that he does not want to trouble others.After realizing that he was no longer a young master, although he still had some young master habits, he couldn't hide his flattery and caution. It was he himself who proposed to wash Zhao Luoyi's clothes.

That day Zhao Luoyi came back covered in blood and mud, took off his cold and smelly robe and piled it in the basin, planning to wash it the next day.When he got up the next day, he found that the robe was drying in the sun. Li Meng put down the rolled up sleeves, and Zhao Luoyi peeped at the boy's back from the window.Tall and calm, Li Meng will grow taller in the future, and the first dawn reflects Li Meng's hopeful side face.At that time, Zhao Luoyi almost thought that he had gone to the wrong place. In Shifang Building, it was rare to see such an innocent person as Li Meng, who was also walking under the sun. The killers who were used to killing people always kept their heads down, trying not to arouse the attention of others. Note that for a killer, revealing his identity is tantamount to sticking a death talisman on his body.

Since then, Li Meng has been very conscious.However, Zhao Luoyi was on duty all year round, so he left people in Shifanglou and ignored him. He wrote to the person in charge of the building more than half a year ago, asking for Li Meng to be sent to Lingzhou.

The task given to Li Meng is to step on the thirteen piers, twelve portals, and more than thirty taverns in Lingzhou. Lingzhou has already had a sub-rudder of Shifanglou, but it is not true for Li Meng to complete the task. It's just that Zhao Luoyi received a letter from old man Gan in Louli, saying that his apprentice was about to get bored.

Because Li Meng was born tender and lovable, everyone in the building loves to tease him. This old man Gan was a powerful man when he was young, but when he was old, he only worked as a handyman in the building watching tea and watching the door.

Goodbye Li Meng, he was already a head taller than when he left. On that day, the imperial guards at the East City Wharf of Lingzhou followed suit, and Zhao Luoyi received a letter from Zhuwu early, saying that Li Meng was thinking about revenge. It has already been completed, and in my free time, I will go to the Zhong'an Palace, which is only ten miles away from Lingzhou, to step on the spot at night.

It just happened that Huo Lianyun was injured in order to save himself, so he might have to go back to Huo Lianyun's territory to recuperate for a few days. When he was on the boat, Zhao Luoyi thought about what would happen to him when he saw his disciples, and what would happen to him, but what he thought was like Shufeng and Wu Wu. The pair of master and apprentice who met each other in tears the last time, or the master and apprentice Xiao who was like Taotie when he saw his family's wooden apprentice, did not appear, Li Meng was afraid of him.

"Wait tomorrow, I will go to the street to make you a new robe." Zhao Luoyi said casually.

Li Meng looked at him sideways, let out an "Ai", then lowered his head to wash Zhao Luoyi's clothes.

"Maybe just celebrate the New Year in Qiyang, if you want to eat anything, you can tell me."

Li Meng couldn't help but look dazed, with red eye circles.

When Li Ling was there, every new year, new clothes would be made in the mansion, and his second aunt would measure his body half a month in advance, saying every year that Meng'er had grown taller again, and your mother would be very pleased to see it.

The third aunt has a pair of skillful hands, but instead of doing it for her brothers first, she cherishes him, an orphan who lost his mother since childhood.Li Meng knows that his mother is not around, and the road in this life will be harder than his brothers, but he has also enjoyed a lot of benefits from the youngest son. He is the legitimate son of the Li family, and his aunts never neglect. He is ten years older, the other is eight years older, and both have married sisters-in-law.Li Meng studied since he was a child, and vaguely knew that his father wanted him to be an official in the court. He was young and promising, and he was just a young man with a romantic spirit.

Thinking about it, for the past two years, I have been living a life of peddlers and pawns, not to mention entering the court as an official, but even being a businessman, I am afraid it will be difficult.

Zhao Luoyi didn't listen to Li Meng's answer, and he didn't ask too many questions. Li Meng was used to him talking less.Sometimes it's good not to ask, if Zhao Luoyi cares about him a few more words at this moment, I'm afraid he will cry.

Li Meng poured dirty water, fetched water again to wash the robe, after washing and drying it, he wiped his hands on the robe and walked to Zhao Luoyi.

Zhao Luoyi was sitting on a very high flower platform, and cast a condescending glance at him.

"Is it cold?"

Li Meng shivered and shook his head, "It's not cold."

"You've never seen the market in Qiyang, so it's hard for you to think about what you want. Go to the street tomorrow, don't be fooled by it. The rules in the downstairs are always just for brothers to get together." Zhao Luoyi thought of something, his voice paused, and after a while he mocked: "The main thing is to meet up with everyone, count who is missing, and toast to the vacant positions."

Hearing Zhao Luoyi's words, Li Meng thought of the great monk again.

"Li Meng."
