Take the sword out of Yanjing

Li Meng raised his head in a daze, and saw dark and dry branches spreading over Zhao Luoyi's head.

"You called me master, but you haven't kowtowed to me yet. At the beginning, a general in Zhong'an City promised me 300 taels of silver to take you away. I was afraid that you would cry, so I asked you to call me master. You have been calling me for two years in vain. I have treated you badly. Today I have a sentence that I have to make clear to you. "

Li Meng's expression was in a trance, he seemed to understand it, but he didn't seem to understand it very well.

That look made Zhao Luoyi think again of the black dog that he had touched, and when he left the next day, he followed behind him with big round eyes, pitiful and aggrieved.

The smoke entered his lungs, Zhao Luoyi let out a breath, the white mist blurred his face.

"You decide to enter this business and do what I do, so that I can take you as an apprentice. I have some friends from all over the world, and among them, there are also decent people, and they are friends with me by fate." Seeing that Li Meng was in a trance, Zhao Luoyi Frowning, he called out his name.

"I heard." Li Meng replied, he sat backwards next to Zhao Luoyi, his red hands from the cold slowly warmed up, his fingers swelled up, and the burning pain in his palm gradually intensified, Zhao Luoyi's deep voice became more serious, "Aren't you You have no choice, you have other ways to go."

For a moment, the dense silence of the night permeated the master and apprentice.

Zhao Luoyi's lips clicked and smoked, leaving time for Li Meng to think about it.

"Think about it carefully. We left Qiyang on the second day of the junior high school and went to Fengyang. We also have to find time to go to Nanzhou to do something. When you come back from Nanzhou, tell me your decision."

The pipe hit the flower bed and made a sharp sound after another.

Zhao Luoyi went in to sleep.

Li Meng watched as the lights on the panes went out, but the lights hanging under the corridors of the whole courtyard were still bright, and the three rooms were all dark.

A clothesline hung in midair, and Zhao Luoyi's robe hung in the air, forming a huge empty shadow.

He pulled the rope himself, and after following Zhao Luoyi, he will know it.Now he can also stretch fibers, work in mines, drink wine, waiters, groom horses, and many more.On the night when his father was taken away, he kept stubbornly thinking that no matter where he was, he would never forget who he was. Kind, to live out the backbone of civil servants.

The sky was starless and moonless, the wind was blowing snow, and the fine snow and sand stinged Li Meng's face.

He closed his eyes, twisted his fingers, and many images flashed through his mind, and the final frame was Zhao Luoyi carrying him out of the Li residence. They got on the horse. That was the first time Li Meng knew what a real galloping horse was. The horses they ride are docile and obedient.

At sunrise, they were on their way, and getting off the horse was about to knock his ass into eight petals.Li Meng clasped the waist of a man he didn't know with his hands tightly. He felt that this man's waist and abdomen were not soft, but a hard martial arts practitioner.

His nose rubbed against the clothes on the back of the man, and the rough cloth rubbed the young master's face sore.

The sky is blue and white, and there is no trace of it.

The sound of horseshoes, the flying yellow dust, the generous and reliable back, and the coarse military robe.

The golden dawn was projected on Zhao Luoyi's face, he hugged Li Meng off the horse and ate the hot and spicy soup, and kept breaking the noodle cakes into his bowl.

The snow was falling heavily, Li Meng shrank from the cold, and climbed down the flower bed numbly.

He took off his wet robes, shoes and socks and burrowed into the quilt. The cold made him dizzy, and the low-grade fever that troubled him hit him again.

……

The next morning, before dawn, Zhao Luoyi left the Qiyang government office.

Into a dark alley.

After touching a cup of tea, Huo Lianyun's sword was exposed at the entrance of the alley. Huo Lianyun changed his white clothes and wore a bamboo hat, a gray short robe, and soft musk leather boots.

The location where the sound of closing the door came out was a private house, with two black lanterns hanging on the door, with the word "Qin" written on it.

Huo Lianyun's eyes flickered for a moment, then he pressed down the bamboo hat and turned back to the government office.

"Little Meng'er, why haven't you woken up yet? Your master told you to get up and eat." Huo Lianyun pushed the door open and entered.

There was a bedroll sleeping on the bed, and Li Meng's head was covered by the quilt.

Huo Lianyun leaned over to tear off the quilt with a smile, and said in his mouth: "If your master doesn't get angry again, I can't save you."

Li Meng's lips were slightly parted, his brows were furrowed, and he was panting heavily in pain.

Huo Lianyun probed his forehead and felt something was wrong. Just as he was about to get up to ask the doctor, he heard Li Meng, who was in a state of fever, say intermittently: "Master, master, don't, don't, don't want me...I don't want..."

Huo Lianyun leaned down and put his ear close, waiting to hear clearly.

"What are you doing?" Zhao Luoyi's cold voice sounded.

Huo Lianyun turned his face away, his peach-blossom eyes curved, and he said in a gentle voice: "Your apprentice is sick, let me try to see if he is hot."

"Ill?" Zhao Luoyi put the sword on the table and approached the bed. Seeing that Li Meng's lips were chapped from the burn, and his hands were wet and sweaty when he helped him up, he was suspicious, thinking that Li Meng was cold because of the laundry last night.I was at a loss for a while, because Zhao Luoyi had deep internal energy, never got sick all year round, and recovered from injuries faster than ordinary people. He completely forgot about Li Mengshisan before he started practicing martial arts. Wu's younger generation disciples.

"Help me find a doctor." Zhao Luoyi took out the money.

Huo Lianyun blocked it with one hand, and said with a smile: "I told you I won't let you spend the money yourself." Then he invited the doctor himself.

Zhao Luoyi helped Li Meng up, and stripped off his sweat-soaked underwear. Li Meng was so burned that his head limply leaned against Zhao Luoyi's neck, and his hot breath brushed the skin behind Zhao Luoyi's ears.

After stripping off his clothes and trousers, Li Meng's skin was extremely white and sweaty to the touch.

Zhao Luoyi thought for a while, called warm water and wiped his body.

Li Meng was so sick that he couldn't feel it, he couldn't sit still, he just staggered, Zhao Luoyi felt the headache of caring for the first time, so he rolled up his robe and sat on the bed, hugged Li Meng in front of him, and wiped him from behind. Wipe the front after finishing the back, the young man's skeleton is lean, Zhao Luoyi couldn't help frowning.

The ribs were pierced into the hands, and the pale skin was stained with pale color, but the face was as red as a cooked shrimp.

When Li Meng was flipped over, Li Meng couldn't sit still and fell headlong.

His face was buried in Zhao Luoyi's waist.

"..." Zhao Luoyi lifted him up expressionlessly, without looking, the handkerchief was thrown into the basin without any mistakes.

Then helped Li Meng to lie down, Zhao Luoyi straightened his robe expressionlessly, frowned and pressed the corners of his lips to look down for a while, pulled his pants again, closed the door and changed into a long robe, sat on the edge of the bed, saw Li Meng , the brain and heart still can't keep bouncing, the little bastard is too troublesome.

After a while, Huo Lianyun brought the doctor over and said it was a cold.

In the afternoon, Zhao Luoyi let a harrier away from no one's place, and squatted in the courtyard to make medicine for Li Meng. The bitter and disgusting soup was delivered to Li Meng.

He was woken up in a daze, opened his eyes and saw Huo Lianyun behind Zhao Luoyi, and then saw Zhao Luoyi holding the medicine, and the unpleasant smell came out of the bowl.

"Master." Li Meng's voice was hoarse from the fever.

"Take medicine."

After drinking the medicine with Zhao Luoyi's hand, Zhao Luoyi pushed two sweet and sour plums into Li Meng's mouth one by one with his thumb, and waited until he chewed carefully and spit out the pits before tucking in the quilt, and said in a deep voice to Li Meng, "Again! Get some sleep."

Li Meng was in a bad mood. He was thinking about something and wanted to tell Zhao Luoyi, but he had been thinking about it all night, but now his mind was blank, and he couldn't think of anything.

Li Meng didn't wake up until midnight, his whole body was sore, he lifted the quilt and put his feet on the ground to feel more comfortable.

Zhao Luoyi, who went out to warm water, came in and saw Li Meng stepping on the ground with bare feet in a daze, frowned in displeasure, came and hugged Li Meng's legs on the bed, and said in a solemn voice: "It's cold, and if I get sick, I'll spend the whole Spring Festival sick, I won't took you out."

Li Meng only showed a pair of moist eyes, and whispered: "Hot."

Zhao Luoyi has no experience in taking care of others, and only knows that the wind and cold need to be covered with quilts to sweat more, so he piled up the quilts from other courtyards on Li Meng's body, making Li Meng breathless. In his dream, he was either roasted by fire or boiled in boiling water. .

"If you catch the wind and cold, you have to sweat to get better."

Li Meng said weakly: "I'm already sweating profusely."

Zhao Luoyi thought for a while, took the quilt away, leaving only Li Meng's original covering, and helped him up and changed his clothes again. Li Meng felt that Zhao Luoyi was not very happy, and couldn't figure out what he was thinking, so he didn't dare to speak rashly .

"Sleep again." Zhao Luoyi said after helping him to lie down.

Li Meng closed his eyes obediently, but he couldn't sleep at all, but he felt that Zhao Luoyi had been sitting by the bed, so he could only pretend to be asleep.

"Talk when you can't sleep, pretend to be sleeping, don't you find it hard?"

Li Meng had no choice but to open his eyes, and said awkwardly: "How did Master see it..."

"Sleeping people don't have eyeballs that roll around, and eyelids that jump around." Zhao Luoyi put the back of his hand on Li Meng's forehead, his hand was cold, and Li Meng squinted his eyes very comfortably, but after a while, Zhao Luoyi took it away He clapped his hands and said: "Don't burn it, get a good night's sleep, you'll be better tomorrow, and I'll take you to the street."

"I can't sleep." Li Meng said honestly.

"Speak with you?" Zhao Luoyi asked.

"I don't know what to say." When alone with Zhao Luoyi, Li Meng felt nervous most of the time. He always felt that a word might offend Zhao Luoyi. Although Zhao Luoyi didn't get angry with him, because of the scar on Zhao Luoyi's face, he was serious , which made Li Meng feel difficult to get along with.

"Do you want to know how this came about?" Zhao Luoyi put her thumb on the edge of her brow.

Li Meng's eyes were bright, he had always been very interested in Zhao Luoyi's past, but he didn't dare to ask, Zhao Luoyi wanted to tell himself, but he nodded hurriedly, for fear that he would go back on his word.

Zhao Luoyi got up and turned off the lamp, took off her shoes, and climbed onto the bed: "It's not something interesting, just sleep when you're sleepy."

Zhao Luoyi crossed his arms across, hugged Li Meng vainly, feeling weird in his heart, but if he wanted to coax his apprentice to sleep, it must be the same, this is the only way for every master, so there is nothing strange about it.

A wisp of tree shadow was blowing away outside the window pane. Li Meng half-closed his eyes, lazily leaning on Zhao Luoyi's arm, listening to his deep voice.

The author has something to say: Accept me, accept me, accept me [

☆, contact

"Twenty-eight years ago, Shifanglou was still an ordinary carriage and horse shop with no serious name. The boss was warm, and one night after feeding the horses, he picked up a pregnant woman covered in blood behind his stable."

There was no light in the room, because he could not see Zhao Luoyi's expression, Li Meng felt that he was not as cold as usual, so he twitched his badly congested nose, and leaned under Zhao Luoyi's armpit, almost leaning against Zhao Luoyi's right chest, seeing him If you don't object, you can rely on it with peace of mind.

"Won't a horse panic when it smells blood?" Li Meng asked.

Zhao Luoyi seemed impatient, "She's just a weak pregnant woman, why panic? The horses in Shifanglou are all like you."

Li Meng then stopped talking.

Zhao Luoyi's tone softened, and she unconsciously placed her palm on Li Meng's shoulder, immersed in the past.

That night, Wen Xu returned to Ruizhou from out of town, and just finished a not-so-easy dart trip. She had already fallen asleep when she suddenly remembered that the horse hadn't been fed yet.

He put on his clothes and lit a lantern, went to the stables to feed the horses, and tripped over something in a daze.Wen Xu has also been walking in the rivers and lakes for more than ten years, and the stimulating smell of blood in the air made him wake up.

The lantern shone close to the stable, and saw a mass of muddy "something" leaning against the corner of the stable. After looking carefully, it was discovered that it was a pregnant woman.

Wen Xu was an upright person, so he hurriedly called up the cashier, the head of the bodyguard, etc. at the chariot and horse dealership, and gave ten taels of silver to send a guy to find a doctor quickly.

Wen Xu wiped the mud ball clean with her own hands, only to see that it was a woman. The woman was in a coma, still holding her towering abdomen tightly with one hand.

Finding out the century-old ginseng that he used to hang himself, Wen Xu cut it into slices, watched the fire, and after frying, he put the woman in his arms, and it took more than half an hour for her to drink it spoonful by spoonful.

Sweating profusely from the work, Wen Xu guarded the fire, sent everyone to sleep first, and it was almost dawn.

Wen Xu stared at the woman, tapping her fingers on the table.

He is a businessman, looking at the injuries on the woman's body, there are sword wounds and knife wounds, her lips are purple and black, as if she has been poisoned, and there is almost no good skin on her hands and feet, most likely she has provoked a terrific enemy.This kind of trouble, even if it is brought to your door by yourself, you should push it out.

Maybe it's because she looks pitiful at the woman, or because her mind is temporarily confused.

"The doctor in the city was helpless against the poison she was suffering from. Wen Xu spent a lot of money to invite a well-known ghost doctor in the Jianghu. The ghost doctor's actions were unpredictable, but he knew the woman. After half a year, the woman recovered and was still alive." When the pomegranate is ripe, a child will be born." Zhao Luoyi paused, and put his finger on Li Meng's forehead.

"I don't have a fever anymore." Li Meng said.

Hearing that he was still awake, Zhao Luoyi said "Yes", and continued: "Having been together for half a year, Wen Xu served the bedside almost every day. Even a woman with a hard heart is touched. But when Wen Xu said that she was willing to marry her, the woman But he resolutely bid farewell."

"The rivers and lakes are dangerous, you are a woman, where can you go with a child?" Wen Xu was stunned, and said bitterly: "If I offend you, but please forgive me, why let the child suffer along with you."

The woman never knew her name and surname, she was pretty, she wore black clothes all the year round, and was jokingly called "Black Peony" by the drivers.

Hei Mudan looked at the child, her child was not yet old, it was indeed inappropriate to leave at this time, so she decided to stay for another half a year for her own child.

Even though she was rejected, Wen Xu was still very kind to the two women, she had good tea and good meals, and didn't let Hei Mudan do the rough work, just let her help the accountant to settle the accounts, and even hired a maid to serve her.

Half a year later, Black Peony left a letter and left the carriage.

Wen Xu saw that the child was entrusted to him in the letter, and out of affection for Hei Mudan, he raised her child as his own, and spent another five years like this.

"She left just after the child was weaned, don't you miss her?" Li Meng didn't have a mother himself, but his mother died early, and he had thought about it more than once, if he had a mother, how would his mother sew clothes for him? And how will he teach him when he makes a mistake.

"Then you have to ask her." Zhao Luoyi teased, and suddenly felt that although Li Meng was cautious, he was still just a very innocent boy.

"Did Black Peony come back to see the child?" Li Meng hesitated for a long time before asking. After all, Zhao Luoyi's style of speaking may suddenly say three words in the middle of the speech - "She died", after all, he often does this Do.

"Ah."

Zhao Luoyi's voice sounded a bit strange, Li Meng got his hands into his coat, put it on Zhao Luoyi's right chest, and rubbed it together.

"..." Zhao Luoyi stiffened all over and lowered her head, "What are you doing?"

Li Mengshi was so burned that his mind was not clear, but he felt that there was a heat source around him, so for some reason, he just wanted to rub him.Startled by Zhao Luoyi's voice, she suddenly trembled all over.

"..." Zhao Luoyi frowned, grabbed Li Meng's hand that was about to withdraw, pulled his arm, and made him hug her, "It's not about telling ghost stories, forget it, if you feel cold, just hold it, Don’t get sicker tomorrow and be unable to go to the streets.”

Zhao Luoyi seemed to care more about whether he could go to the street to buy new clothes for him than Li Meng. Being a master was new to Zhao Luoyi. He thought to himself, if he really treated Li Meng as his disciple, he would treat him better.After all, if Li Meng really wants to fight against him for the sake of outsiders and attack Baibingpu, then he will be ruthless.It can also be regarded as the final compensation, as a fate between master and apprentice.

"Go to bed, don't talk anymore." Zhao Luoyi said suddenly.

Li Meng thought he was upset, and hurriedly said, "I won't move around anymore."

"No." Zhao Luoyi was about to say something. He realized that he had acquiesced to being a master and apprentice with Li Meng just now, so he immediately took out the authority of a master and said, "Sleep."

Zhao Luoyi didn't hear Li Meng say anything, and added: "I'll talk about it next time, it's too long."

It was getting late, and although Li Meng was not very satisfied, he also knew what Zhao Luoyi had decided, so it would be useless to ask for it.Still holding Zhao Luoyi in his arms, Li Meng's heart fluttered.

Will Master go back to sleep next door?when will he leave?Or wait until I fall asleep before leaving.

The man's unshaven chin was pressed against Li Meng's forehead. He had a broad chest, and just now Li Meng felt that Zhao Luoyi was a mature man, with hard muscles and warm skin. It moves the power of martial arts practitioners.Li Meng hadn't been so close to people for a long time, and he really didn't want to let go of Zhao Luoyi. At that moment, he felt in a trance that he was hugging his elder brother. When he was a child, whenever he was afraid of the dark, he ran into his elder brother's room. The maids didn't dare to talk too much. If Li Ling knew, he would scold him.But Li Meng himself didn't think it had anything to do with it, his elder brother pitied him for being the youngest and having no mother, so he had to pamper him a bit.

More than half an hour passed, and the even breathing sounds of the two people in the room almost overlapped.

"Big brother..."

Hearing Li Meng's voice, Zhao Luoyi immediately opened his eyes.

Li Meng smacked his lips and bowed his head into Zhao Luoyi's arms, but he didn't wake up at all.

In the darkness, Zhao Luoyi stared at Li Meng silently for a long time, lifted the quilt that had slipped off Li Meng's shoulders, wrapped it around his shoulders, and closed her eyes.

……

The next morning Li Meng was completely fine, Zhao Luoyi asked him to drink another bowl of medicine for strengthening, after eating the medicine, the master and apprentice went to the street.

One more day will be New Year’s Eve. The vendors are eager to sell new year’s goods. Most of them are a variety of candies, children’s gadgets, dry goods and stir-fried goods. There are also people who set up a stall to write copybooks, spreading out red paper to help people write. couplet.

The tailor shop was crowded with people, and the children were very noisy. Li Meng was squeezed into a group of half-sized radish heads, and let the master lead him to tailor the clothes. He felt very sorry.

Zhao Luoyi took a fancy to the blue silk with white dots, and also wanted to make two brocade robes with black and dark bamboo patterns embroidered for Li Meng, but during the Chinese New Year, his fingers slipped on the bright red silk again.

Zhao Luoyi looked back at Li Meng, Li Meng was born fair, and he was between a teenager and a young man, so he couldn't figure out what he would look like in red.

Li Meng saw that Zhao Luoyi's expressionless side face was also flushed by the red silk, as if Zhao Luoyi was thinking about something and felt ashamed, so he couldn't help feeling amused, and moved closer to Zhao Luoyi, "Master also makes clothes, right?"

Zhao Luoyi absent-mindedly said "um", and rubbed the red silk with her thumb and index finger.

"Either master is dressed in red robes, and always wears black, so he should change his taste occasionally." After last night, Li Meng felt that Zhao Luoyi was a little less scary, and Ping Duan grew a little closer.

Zhao Luoyi nodded slightly, and called the shop assistant to come.

Li Meng shook his head, looking at a piece of royal blue satin with dark patterns of the swastika. He just wanted to ask Zhao Luoyi to look at it, but Zhao Luoyi pointed at himself to the shopkeeper, "Measure him, use this red one, and the one over there." Make a set of black and royal blue on top, and you can take him to choose the style."

"..." Before Li Meng could speak, he was welcomed in by the staff.

After Li Meng finished measuring the size and came out after looking at the pattern, a lot of women crowded together in the shop outside. He stood there with no place to put his hands and feet, so he simply walked out of the shop and waited for Zhao Luoyi at the door.

Not long after, Zhao Luoyi came back with a box, which Li Meng guessed was sweets and pastries.

Zhao Luoyi didn't say much, just stretched out the dagger, Li Meng held the scabbard, and the two of him and his master wandered the streets for a long time, and returned to the mansion in the evening with a stomach full of haggis soup and brown sugar peanut dumplings Ya.

After entering the other courtyard, Huo Lianyun walked over with a bad face and glanced at Li Meng.

"Take the things in and put them away." Zhao Luoyi gave Li Meng the things he bought, all kinds of paper boxes were like hills, and Li Meng staggered when he walked.

Zhao Luoyi followed him through the corridor, then turned to look at Huo Lianyun, "What's the matter?"

A bamboo tube was taken out by Huo Lianyun, and he said: "The news came from Lingzhou in the afternoon, Xiao Qi's mission failed, and the body found in the river outside Lingzhou City has been sent to the Shifang Building in Lingzhou."

"Who did it?" Zhao Luoyi asked.

Huo Lianyun shook his head, "Although I don't know who did it, but I have checked with Ruizhou that the client of this mission is the same as the one who commissioned us to kill He Ruiting. They are all pseudonyms, but 'Diao' in the building Son' trick, it's the same person in the portrait."

"What is Xiaoqi's mission?"

Huo Lianyun looked at him, the rules in the Shifang Building do not allow inquiring about the missions received by other killers, Huo Lianyun hesitated for a moment before saying: "I don't know."

Zhao Luoyi stared at him sharply for a while, then said: "After you find something, go back to Lingzhou first. Is there any news from the landlord in Ruizhou?"

"Leave it to the boss for investigation."

"Then it's inconvenient for us to intervene." Zhao Luoyi said.

"Don't you care?" Huo Lianyun asked eagerly.

Zhao Luoyi didn't say a word, walked to the corner of the corridor, picked up Li Meng's collar, and threw him out casually.

Li Meng's feet slipped a lot, and then he supported the flower stand behind him to stand still. The flower pot was shaking, and Li Meng jumped up and stood the flower pot on it.

Zhao Luoyi had already gone back to the room, Huo Lianyun stood there with his fists clenched, without saying a word to Li Meng, he walked towards the front yard.

Zhao Luoyi rested early that night and didn't even eat dinner.Huo Lianyun was not in the government office, so Li Meng didn't dare to leave the other courtyard. During the day, he only vaguely heard what Zhao Luoyi and Huo Lianyun said. He didn't even know Xiaoqi. They can be dangerous.

Perhaps these days he has been evading pursuit, and he has bumped into the killer quite a few times, and his nerves have been tense, but Li Meng doesn't feel scared anymore.

With one leg resting on the porch, the moonlight shone on his side face, he pinched Xiao Chang Chu Fang's thumb that the insect bit him, the wound was no longer visible.

The worm can't feel it in his body. Will he really die?

Mixed with the sound of birds, several short bamboo whistles came from outside the courtyard wall.

Li Meng's face was pale, and he almost slipped from where he was sitting.

I don't know if it was because of nervousness, or what the Gu worm sensed, but a piercing pain came from the left abdomen, and Li Meng was caught off guard.

With the rapid sound of the bamboo whistle, the pain in the left abdomen became more severe, and Li Meng opened his mouth, unable to speak from the pain.

The moon dragged the figure on the wall onto the limestone slab, and pulled it long in front of Li Meng. He followed the shadow and looked towards the wall.

Suddenly there was a tall figure standing on top of the wall, and as soon as it caught Li Meng's gaze, the figure flashed behind the wall.

The bamboo whistle stopped abruptly.

The pain in Li Meng's left abdomen disappeared, but cold sweat dripped from his brow, which really reminded him that it was not a hallucination just now.When he stood up, his legs trembled, he held onto the pillar, walked slowly to the wall, looked left and right for a while, and saw a corner door not far to the east, and walked slowly there.

It was dark outside the wall, but there was a faint oil vapor in the air.

It seems to be an oil refinery in the government office, and there is no one guarding it. Li Meng looked around as he walked along the wall. Just now, the man did not light the lamp. Since this courtyard is unoccupied, it is not like the other courtyard next door. The corridor is lit, the center is empty The deserted wasteland, the half-person-high withered grass is unmanaged, and there are many shadows.

The whistle blew twice more.

Li Meng pressed his palm into a fist and pressed against his left abdomen, slightly relieving the pain. He supported the wall and followed the sound, but he didn't realize that he had gradually strayed away from the mansion. In the alley at the back door, the sound continued to another street.

When Li Meng couldn't stand the pain, the bamboo whistle slowed down for a while, and when it rang again, Li Meng must have been able to lift his energy up to the wall.

Half an hour later, Li Meng came to the door of a mansion with white lanterns hanging, and the bamboo whistle stopped ringing.

There was no other house in the alley. Li Meng frowned slightly, thought for a while, and went to knock on the door. As soon as his fingers touched the door, the door opened from the inside.

The author has something to say: I feel that the master will ask the apprentice countless times in the future: What are you doing?

☆, foreign race

Li Meng left the government office on the front foot, Zhao Luoyi opened the door on the back foot, and searched for a while in the corridor, wanting to ask Li Meng to pick up his clothes tomorrow afternoon, but he called several times, but no one answered.Zhao Luoyi went back to the room to sit in bewilderment, drank two cups of herbal tea, and lit the lamp.

He took out the bundle, took out the tapestry and threw it on the table, unfolded it for a look.

Mountains, rivers and topography are painted on the tapestry silk, and it is marked with ancient ancient characters. It is an old thing, and he has always carried it with him.In order not to let Huo Lianyun find out that day, he hid it under a stone and retrieved it that night.

He embroidered the three characters "Hundred Soldiers Book" by himself, but if you look closely, you will find that it is different from the font on the silk silk.

Zhao Luoyi made guesses about the several state capitals painted on it, and contacted the topographic maps he had seen and the places he had traveled during the mission, and speculated that they were some important towns in the south.

And there is another place in the south that pulls the flag and calls itself "South Mekong". There are swamps all over the territory, and there is a Mae River passing through it. About three-quarters of the river is in the South Mekong territory, and its downstream tributaries are distributed on the southwestern border of Daqin.

Zhao Luoyi looked at it for a while, but he didn't think about anything, his fingers lingered on the yellowed surface, and his fingertips flowed with indescribable nostalgia.

He got up, fetched the bong, and brought the black cloth that he used to wipe the gun on weekdays. His gestures were extremely slow, letting the silent silence of the night and the bone-wrenching loss devour him.

Zhao Luoyi often thinks to himself, if his mother hadn't left this scroll and he hasn't figured out the secret of it, maybe he died in a deserted ship in a wild place long ago, and it's unknown if his flesh stinks before he was discovered.

His eyes slid over the silk, the pipe, the oil lamp on the table, and the old oil stains on the table that could no longer be wiped off, and turned his head to look at the Wu Wang sword on the table.

Zhao Luoyi thought desperately, he now has an apprentice, now even death will not be easy.The more I thought about it, the more complicated my mood became, and I polished my bong to a shine.

……

The sound of the old man drinking tea was very harsh in the quiet room.

When seeing Li Meng, the man in black, he would always think of the person who suddenly had worms coming out of his seven orifices last time, and felt that these people in front of him might also burst into screams suddenly, with worms all over their ears and noses.

Li Meng tried his best to look at the roof. There was a spider web on it, which was clearly illuminated by the bright lights in the room. Even the spider spinning silk could be clearly seen.

Xiao Changchu was very respectful to the old man. When the old man said he wanted to drink a bowl of tea, although his tone was apologetic, Li Meng could hear a trace of contempt keenly.

"The old man is getting old, and if he has to spend more time talking, he has to spend more tea. Miss Xiao won't be impatient?"

Li Meng looked here, and looked at the old man Xiao Changchu with a docile smile on his face, and changed his impatience as his face faded into the darkness.

Xiao Changchu took the tea bowl with his own hands, and said softly: "We all depend on the old man for our lives, how dare we be impatient?"

Old Man Sun laughed hoarsely, and Li Meng frowned.As soon as he entered the yard, he saw Xiao Changchu holding a bamboo whistle, but he only said that old man Sun wanted to see him, and now Li Meng had left the mansion for less than half an hour, fearing that Zhao Luoyi would look for him, he turned his head and looked out frequently.

"Come here." Old man Sun finished his tea, put down his tea bowl, and waved to Li Meng.

His hands were dry and black, reminding Li Meng of the tobacco leaves that Zhao Luoyi often wrapped.

Li Meng dawdled.

The old man waved persistently.

Seeing that he couldn't pass the time, Li Meng reluctantly moved to Old Man Sun.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"

Xiao Changchu frowned, holding the ecstasy whip.

The people in black were still sticking like logs, with expressionless faces.

Old man Sun smiled, his face wrinkled like a blackened chrysanthemum.

His hands were rough and cold, resting on Li Meng's wrists, if the smile on his face could be regarded as comfort, it would be too scary.After Li Meng yelled, he didn't dare to move anymore, he had already glimpsed Xiao Changchu's whip out of the corner of his eye.

"Old man, what are you touching?" Li Meng asked tremblingly.

"Turn around." Old man Sun spoke slowly, sounding weak and weak. After he finished speaking, he took a breath for a while, and then he uttered the second sentence, "Although it is not good material for martial arts, but it is used for making The reshaped physical body is not bad."

Hearing the ambiguous words, goosebumps appeared on Li Meng's back. Old man Sun bent down to lift his robe, Li Meng jumped up in surprise, pressed the lapel of his robe and hurriedly backed away.

Old man Sun didn't force it.

But Li Meng had already seen clearly that he was nestled in a wheelchair made of ebony, and the black silk gown on his body was empty from the waist down.

"Old man, the matter of the major general is not over yet, even if you are impatient, you should be a little bit more measured." Xiao Changchu said coldly.

Old man Sun was still smiling, but Li Meng felt that this man was much scarier when he smiled than when he didn't smile. The skin on his face was old and lumpy, and the lines became more obvious when he smiled.

"Succeed, I won't disturb you to talk about business, little girl, don't forget what you promised me."

Xiao Changchu waved his hand, and old man Sun pushed his wheelchair out the door. When there was no sound outside, Xiao Changchu signaled to the man in black.

One person took out the wooden box and gave it to Li Meng.

Li Meng looked at Xiao Changchu puzzled, his eyebrows twitched.

"It contains the medicine old man Sun prepared. As long as you try to add a little to your master's meal every day, you will have nothing to do."

"Since you can prescribe medicine, why don't you just use poison?" Li Meng held the wooden box sullenly.

"Very poisonous things have a weird and unpleasant smell. If your master didn't do anything like that, he would have died thousands of times. It's just an ordinary medicinal powder that dissolves the inner energy. It's all right." Xiao Changchu pulled up the veil, covered his face, and walked slowly to the door, "I think you might have something bad to do, our people can't get too close, otherwise we will be noticed. Instead of letting you be discovered by Qiongqi, Get rid of it first, it’s better to let you deal with the less risky ones, if he finds out that you are taking medicine, you can take some by yourself and prove your innocence, I can only bet that Qiongqi will have a soft heart for you.” Xiao Changchu said not very Convinced, she turned her face and saw that Li Meng's face was not good, and wanted to put a spell on Li Meng last time, he didn't struggle violently, and it is the same today, purely a cowardly appearance of resigning himself to life.Thinking that Li Meng might be taken aback by Old Man Sun's appearance just now, thinking of using him again, he kindly comforted him: "Pavilion Master means, after successfully completing this task, I will take you back to see him."

"Pavilion Master? What Pavilion Master?" Originally Li Meng was silent because he resisted in his heart, but he didn't know why, he only knew that he was not happy to help outsiders deal with Zhao Luoyi.At this time, I heard Xiao Changchu say, and cheered up.

Xiao Changchu looked at him with complicated eyes for a moment, and said: "It's about your family feud, it's not time to tell you, the future will be long, don't delay." Xiao Changchu didn't want to say more, and ordered Li Meng to be sent back to the back door of the government office.

Li Meng is very skilled at climbing walls, he is even afraid of the forty-foot walls of the imperial palace, not to mention the back walls of government offices.

After jumping down to the ground, Li Meng felt his face warm and his heart beating, maybe it was the trouble caused by Xiao Changchu's bamboo whistle to stimulate the Gu worms in his body, so he couldn't care about it.Passing through the first courtyard, Li Meng slowed down his pace, thinking in his heart, when he left, Zhao Luoyi had already entered the house, and after so long, he might have fallen asleep.Just be careful not to bump into Huo Lianyun who has gone out and come back again. If he bumps into him, he will say that he heard a noise in the backyard, so he goes to check.

While thinking about it, Li Meng went back to his room under the wall, stood in front of the door, and was relieved to see that the lights in the three connected rooms were not on.

He touched the wooden box in his sleeve with his fingertips, subconsciously put some in it, and put it away.

As soon as he entered the room, Li Meng's heart skipped a beat when he smelled the smoke from his nose.

In the darkness, a red star flickered for a long time as Zhao Luoyi took a long breath.

"What are you doing?"

Li Meng was still stunned at the door, and when he came back to his senses, he faltered and said: "I heard a noise in the backyard, so I went to have a look."

"Is it a cat or a mouse?" Zhao Luoyi asked.

Hearing that Zhao Luoyi was joking, Li Meng was relieved, but his back was still covered with cold sweat. He was almost scared out of his wits, his mind was dull, and he walked to the table, "Master, why didn't you light the lamp?"

"Just me, sit down for a while, I plan to wait for you to come back to sleep, there is no need to light the lamp." Zhao Luoyi got up after speaking.

Hearing the sound of closing the door, Li Meng still didn't dare to move, waiting for the sound of footsteps to go away.Li Meng collapsed indulgently on the bed, and there was a cold and damp breath in the air.Li Meng covered his face with one arm feebly, only feeling a spasm-like pain in his left abdomen. At one moment, Xiao Changchu's sharp whip was in front of his eyes, and at another moment, Old Man Sun's old face was chapped into pieces.

Li Meng didn't know when he fell asleep. The next day, there were continuous noises from the courtyard. As soon as Li Meng opened the door, he saw many maidservants hanging red lanterns and playing around in the courtyard.

I went to the next door to have a look, Zhao Luoyi and Huo Lianyun were not there, Li Meng just sat on the porch with a big bowl to eat breakfast.

A little girl hung up the lantern and glanced at Li Meng.

Li Meng stared blankly, wearing Zhao Luoyi's old robe
