The first person holds a nine-snake-headed golden rod in his hand.

A subordinate carefully knelt on one knee on the tile and moved a small piece of tile away.

Li Meng turned over and woke up in the middle of the night, not too sleepy. After his eyes adapted to the darkness, he saw Huo Lianyun's straight nose, slender eyelashes, strong brows, and plump forehead with perfect shape.

Huo Lianyun is really pretty.Li Meng couldn't help but his ears were still hot, and turned his head again, a spot of light leaked on the top of the tent.

Li Meng looked at the square light spot suspiciously for a long time, feeling very strange, before he had time to react, the light spot shook twice and disappeared.At the same time, Li Meng heard the sound of tiles moving.

"Uncle, Uncle..." Li Meng called out in a low voice.

Huo Lianyun didn't make a sound, he was accumulating energy in the blanket with one hand, planning to brush his sleeping hole if Li Meng noticed something, making him fall asleep temporarily.

But Li Meng didn't make any more noise. Huo Lianyun opened his eyes and saw that Li Meng had already fallen asleep again, and fell asleep with peace of mind.

After a while, Li Meng got out of bed, bent over to put on his shoes, and suddenly a hand was placed on his shoulder, which was supposed to be Huo Lianyun, and he said: "Master is drunk, as an apprentice, he should go and see, if he wakes up in the middle of the night, he will It's not appropriate to have a glass of water and no one to serve you. Uncle Master, let's go to bed by ourselves."

Huo Lianyun's fingers were like lightning, but Li Meng, like a rabbit, rushed out before him.

"..."

Passing by the table, Li Meng saw a small round mirror lying on the table, shining slightly.

It seems that he, the uncle, also knows that he is handsome, and he likes to look in the mirror.The corners of Li Meng's mouth curled up, he walked to the door, saluted Huo Lianyun, and then left the room.

Huo Lianyun frowned tightly, bent his fingers, pinched the corner of the quilt, and thought: If he goes to help, the Nanmei people will not be able to succeed, Zhao Luoyi will follow him back to Ruizhou, and he can find a way to get him away in the future , This is all secondary, but it's hard to say whether the Nanmei people will show their feet and make Zhao Luoyi realize that he is a whistleblower.Once the identity is exposed, I'm afraid it will really only shut up the master and apprentice.Huo Lianyun knew that he could not kill Zhao Luoyi, so he lay down again, covered his head with the quilt, and fell asleep on the bed.

Li Meng was holding the outer robe in his hand, planning to sleep with his master.The door of his own room next door was wide open, Li Meng frowned unconsciously, and approached Zhao Luoyi's room lightly.

The door of the house was ajar, with only a finger-wide gap.

Li Meng was not sure if he closed the door when he left Zhao Luoyi's room, but he did close the door in order to block Huo Lianyun who was peeping in. Maybe someone sneaked into the room, so he had to be careful.

A coolness swept over the back of Li Meng's neck.

Li Meng: "..."

The blade circled around Li Meng's neck and turned to the side of his neck in front.

Appearing in front of Li Meng was the foreigner who led people around to inquire about Zhao Luoyi's whereabouts during the day, kissing the foreigner's ear with his tongue.

"Your tattoo is pretty good, and it looks beautiful at night." Li Meng said sincerely.

"Thank you." The foreigner replied in Daqin official words.

"Actually, I'm not very good at kung fu."

The foreigner ignored it, Li Meng reached out and touched his Nine Snake Staff, and the copper metal ring on it made a clanging sound.

"Don't mess around."

Li Meng raised his hand, indicating that he would not touch it anymore.His nose twitched lightly, and he secretly glanced at the alien, but the alien didn't seem to notice anything.

"Hush—" Li Meng whistled in a melodious manner.

The foreign tribe stood for a while, and mumbled a few words to the subordinates around him. The subordinates came over and grabbed the knife that was holding Li Meng hostage. Go straight, then turn along the corridor, go to the end, the last room can be used!"

The corner of the foreign leader's mouth twitched reluctantly, and he walked forward with a dull head.

The smell of blood in the air was getting stronger and stronger, but the subordinates of the foreign race were indifferent. Li Meng almost doubted that he could not smell it.

"..." Li Meng swallowed hard, and several fragments flashed in his mind. When he was in Ruizhou, he smelled the smell more than once, but others didn't check it out. Huo Lianyun stayed in the house for a while yesterday, After letting him in, everything was tidy and there was no abnormality. Huo Lianyun also talked to him as usual and asked him to buy wine.Doesn't Huo Lianyun feel that there is a strong smell of blood in the room?

"Hey, little brother, do you smell something strange?" Li Meng smiled flatteringly.

"...?" The subordinate gave Li Meng a strange look, and held the knife more firmly.

"..." Li Meng stopped talking.

The leader who went to relieve himself hadn't come back yet, and he looked like a master. If Zhao Luoyi knocked down the people in the house, he should be told to run away immediately.

Li Meng wanted to whistle again, but the dark-skinned foreigner looked at him coldly, "Don't move, I'll kill you if you move".

After standing for a while, the leader came back, adjusted his belt uncomfortably, and his subordinates helped him hold the Nine Snake Staff.

The leader tidied up his trousers and gave orders to his opponent.

Li Meng saw the man go to open the door, and howled in his heart: shoot him to death!Hack him!Kill him!Master is number one in the world!

The figures of his subordinates were hidden in the darkness. The leader solved the problem of some people's instincts, and was able to calm down. He looked at Li Meng carefully, and saw that his face was expressionless and indifferent.

"We've seen..."

Li Meng's heart sank.

"During the day, if you lose track of him, he will appear. You are together. Who is he?" The leader glanced at the room.

Li Meng didn't want to say it at first, but there was a bloodstain on his neck. The leader of the foreign clan was playing for real. His grandma's. How do these people know that he is afraid of death?Doesn't he look so hard-boned?When he finishes his revenge, he must be tortured to extract a confession and guard the secrets of the organization to the death!

"I..." Before the "boss" could say anything, the person who had just entered the room hurried back and muttered to the leader, who mentioned the back of Li Meng's neck with an extremely ugly expression on his face.

It's bad news, maybe Zhao Luoyi has escaped and their people have been brought down.After making some calculations, Li Meng hurriedly lowered his voice and said, "He is my master, and I am very important to him. If you take me with you, he will definitely fall into the trap."

Li Meng's cowardly begging for mercy made the leader show an uncomfortable expression, but he had no choice but to arrest Li Meng.

Li Meng turned his head and glanced at Huo Lianyun's unlit room. For some reason, he didn't want to hurt this uncle in private.

The author has something to say: Author: Boy Meng, do you know that there is a thing called a brain hole, which is too big to block?

Meng was shocked: Is this hole in my body?

The author nodded regretfully.

Meng was taken aback for a moment, and then he understood: I have grown tall, there is no reason why the things on my body should not grow up with it, so don't make a fuss about it.

☆, Nam Mee

The bonfire "cracked" in the bushes.

The voice of the foreigner chatting was heard intermittently. Li Meng had a rope around his neck, the other end was tied to the bridle, and his hands were tied behind his back.

His head was getting lower and lower, and when he nodded, he was poked in the face by the cold horsemane, and hurriedly raised his head with two "peh peh".

The aroma of wheat was floating in the air, and Li Meng turned his head to look with difficulty.

A pot was set up on the bonfire, and something was boiled, white steam was rising, and the sound of gurgling could be heard.

It was probably some kind of rice porridge. The staff of "Nine Snakes" crushed the noodles, tore the dried meat into strips, threw them into the pot, and stirred them up.

The aroma becomes more and more alluring.

The Nine Snake Stick seemed to sense Li Meng's gaze, and looked up at him for a short while. After thinking for a while, he scooped up a bowl of porridge and walked to the horse.

The opportunity to rather die than surrender came, but his stomach kept growling.

The corner of Nine Snake Stick's mouth curled up: "You seem to be called, Li Meng?"

Li Meng tilted his head, too lazy to respond.

The Nine Snake Staff raised the bowl high.

"..." Li Meng's stomach growled more and more, and he felt a faint pain in his stomach. He was worried about Zhao Luoyi's injury last night, so he didn't eat much for dinner, and then drank on an empty stomach.

"Answer me a few questions, this one is yours." The Nine Snake Staff looked at the bowl.

Li Meng struggled to think for a while, then frowned and said, "I'll answer a few questions for you, and you can answer a few questions for me. Anyway, my master will come, and I'm not afraid of you."

A playful smile appeared on the corner of Nine Snake Stick's mouth, and he ordered Li Meng to be let down.

The foreigner asked Li Meng to sit by the fire, with a subordinate of Nine Snakes on the left and right, and Nine Snakes himself sat opposite Li Meng. He put the bowl of porridge on the stone platform piled up in front of him.

"You ask." After being tied up for nearly two hours, Li Meng rubbed his sore and numb wrist vigorously.

"Your master, how is your martial arts?"

The first question stopped Li Meng. Bluffing is good, but if you speak too loudly, this group of people will be more defensive.Li Meng said indifferently: "General."

"I heard that he was a well-known killer in Daqin. His kung fu is average?"

Li Meng frowned, and said nonsense: "People who are well-known are generally due to the misunderstanding of the world. People in the Jianghu have misunderstood my master. In fact, his martial arts are very ordinary, but he is good at using poison. Be careful with what you drink and what you eat."

The Nine Snake Staff's expression changed suddenly, and the men who were about to drink porridge glanced at the horses in the distance.

"Furthermore, my master said that all things in the world have different mutual generation and mutual restraint. A highly poisonous snake will be fine after taking its own snake venom. Some poisons are only effective for humans, but not necessarily effective for animals. If he wants to use ordinary poison Only ordinary things can be done.”

Li Meng stopped when he clicked, but the Nine Snake Staff had already thought in his mind that Zhao Luoyi was average in martial arts, good at using poison, and able to accumulate a reputation that would make people in the world feel ashamed. The more he knows his method of killing, the more people will be recruited.

Not knowing what Nine Snake Stick was thinking, he nodded thoughtfully for a while, and then seemed to have believed what Li Meng said.

"It's my turn." Li Meng was about to ask a question.

The Nine Snake Stick smiled and said, "Little brother, tell me the truth, we Nanmei people are trustworthy, first fill our stomachs, and then talk about it."

Li Meng rolled his eyes, knowing that the Nine Snake Stick believed what he said, and he had to try it himself to see if there was any poison in the porridge.I didn't mean to say those two sentences. I'm afraid that before this group of people eat and drink, they have to let themselves try it first, so that they won't be hungry.

Li Meng was thinking while sipping porridge.

What if Zhao Luoyi didn't come to him?They hadn't even performed the apprenticeship ceremony, let alone Zhao Luoyi's body was seriously injured.Li Meng suddenly saw two terrifying scars on Zhao Luoyi's waist and left abdomen.Moreover, Zhao Luoyi might not know that he was taken away, so he didn't even leave a mark in a hurry.

"You stay with me and talk, it's not counting as asking questions." The Nine Snake Staff tried to smile gently, but the snake pattern entangled on the side of his face was cold and terrifying.

"Ambala, my name."

Li Meng still stared at him defensively.

Anbala pointed to the snake pattern on his face, and moved the snake-headed staff in his hand, "Our clan believes in snakes, and we are not bad people. We came to find someone under the orders of the elders of the clan."

Li Meng was skeptical, and moved the corner of his mouth, "Will you kill my master?"

Ambala was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed out loud, his voice shaking Li Meng's ears.

"Your master is the son of a goddess in our clan. Let's take him back and become the high priest."

"..." Li Meng thought for a moment. Zhao Luoyi wore countless snakes on his head, and wore a snake-print gown. He looked dignified and polite, and coughed twice, "Then why did your people hurt him?"

Ambala showed a sad expression: "He has feelings for Daqin, but he has no feelings for his own people. When he sees my people, he will fight."

"My master is a bit impatient and reckless."

Ambala nodded quickly to express his deep understanding, "He didn't wait for me to intervene, and he cleaned up my people."

"He killed them?"

"No, it's just that they won't be able to get out of bed for ten days and a half months, let alone play for me."

Li Meng felt relieved. When he was attacked before, Zhao Luoyi only repelled the people and did not hurt their lives.However, he still looked at Ambala suspiciously, "Your shots are heavy."

"It's all skin trauma, it's bleeding, it's weak, but it's not fatal. He's injured and we have mobility."

Li Meng remained silent.

"You don't believe me." Ambara said angrily.

Li Meng was noncommittal.

It was almost dawn, and Anbala was very angry at being suspected, and didn't want to ask Li Meng any more questions.What he was most concerned about was what method Zhao Luoyi would use to deal with them, so as not to catch anyone and let the hostages go.

After Li Meng drank the porridge, his stomach was full of soup. The foreigners were afraid that the water would be poisonous, so whenever they wanted to drink water, they would give Li Meng a sip first, which made Li Meng want to pee all the way.

Li Meng was sitting on the horse, Yue Kua got off the saddle and rubbed the inner thighs with a sharp pain, and also wanted to go conveniently, the pain was beyond words.

Ambala wanted to drink water, and his subordinates brought clean water in bamboo tubes.

"I want to pee." Li Meng demanded expressionlessly.

Li Meng was asking for this half an hour ago, and Anbala probably knew that if he wasn't allowed to go, he would have to pee right away, so he said, "Drink first, I'll take you there."

"Take me there and drink again."

Ambala almost exploded in anger: "We Nanmei people have sworn to the snake god and never lie!"

Li Meng was expressionless: "If you don't let me go, you won't drink."

The two confronted each other for a while, but Anbala didn't drink water all the way, and he wasn't in the mood to eat porridge. He was extremely thirsty, so he had to tie Li Meng's hands from behind to his body first, and led him to the bushes to solve the problem.

"Go away."

Ambala saw that Li Meng's martial arts were not good enough, and he was not afraid of him running away, but also confident in his martial arts, so he led Li Meng to walk a few more steps.

"Not far enough."

"What are you doing walking so far?" Ambala raised his eyebrows.

"They will hear." Li Meng pretended to be arrogant.

It just happened that the morning light was just emerging, and the golden sunlight illuminated Li Meng's red profile. Li Meng hadn't been running outside for a long time. Although his face was not as pale as before, his neck was smooth and fair, with black hair and a slender neck.

"Goo." Ambala swallowed.

Li Meng: "...?"

Anbala had no choice but to lead Li Meng and walked a few steps deeper into the bush. Li Meng heard the sound of water and said, "Take two more steps, the leaves are lush here, don't let the bugs fall on me."

The sun was jumping on Li Meng's neck, and when he walked out of the area covered with dense tree shadows, Li Meng seemed to be wrapped in a golden light. The beauty of distinguishing between male and female is thinner and tenderer than that of a girl who has worked in the abundant sunshine of Nanmei all year round.

"Turn around, I'll pee." Li Meng started to loosen his belt with his tied hands.

Hearing the sound, Ambala couldn't help but want to say something, staring aimlessly at the little bird skimming across the water in the distance.

"We have a river in the South Mekong, called Meishui, which is much bigger than this river. When it falls, it falls with great momentum and is spectacular."

Li Meng looked up and looked around. The river is not wide, it doesn't look deep, and the current is not fast. He said casually, "You can speak idioms, really good."

Anbala was overjoyed, and just as he moved, the rope tied to Li Meng's hand also moved.

"Don't turn it around, I can't urinate if I turn it around."

Ambala hurriedly promised not to turn around.

The attitude is too good, and the sex is changed.Li Meng didn't take it too seriously. After thinking about it, it would not be very convenient to escape from here.He pulled up his pants, not wanting to waste any more time, and said, "Okay."

Ambala felt a little strange, he was absent-minded, and walked a little fast, almost dragging Li Meng down a few times, he could hardly walk when he was riding a horse.

"Ahhhh-!!"

Ambala didn't pay attention, and pulled Li Meng to lean forward. Originally, he could get out of the way, but Li Meng's ruddy lips were like the delicious fruits on the Nanmei Mountain.

Ten thousand grasses flew past Li Meng's heart, his hands were bound, and he wanted to roll to the side for a moment.

Ambala closed her eyes intoxicated.

Li Meng: "..." When he was about to turn sideways, he was hugged at the waist, and the rope in his hand was cut off.

When Ambala opened his eyes, there was a sharp pain in his left leg. A knife pierced his thigh mercilessly, and Ambala waved away the other dagger.

The figure is like a monkey in the mountain, and the speed is extremely fast. Anbala can only see a person carrying Li Meng on his back, climbing on the vines in the forest, pedaling on the trunk, and flying away.Just after kicking his legs, screaming and jumping for a while, he saw the dark red stains on the nearest tree trunk, and smelled them with his fingers.

Anbala immediately limped back to the camp, took his men and followed the bloodstains to find it.

……

On the way to escape, Li Meng almost fell off Zhao Luoyi's back several times, so he had to hug his neck tightly.

At first Zhao Luoyi supported Li Meng's buttocks with one hand, blood seeped through his fingers, when Li Meng hugged him, Zhao Luoyi said in a low voice: "Hold on tight."

Li Meng clung to Zhao Luoyi with his whole body, but Zhao Luoyi no longer supported him, he climbed nimbly between the trees with his hands, and ran wildly for half an hour. The rocks and uneven vegetation on the side covered the official road.

Suddenly, two bright red characters appeared on the boundary marker: Qiyang.

Zhao Luoyi put Li Meng down.

Li Meng was fighting between the two, his nose was full of blood, and he saw Zhao Luoyi's left hand was covered in blood, and he was wearing a black robe, it was hard to tell, but Zhao Luoyi's lips were pale and chapped.He put his finger on his lips and gave a long whistle, and a moment later, the sound of horseshoes came from the official road.

"Get on the horse."

Li Meng knew the horse, it was brought from Huo Lianyun's residence, there was only one horse, he looked at Zhao Luoyi like Zhao Luoyi, Zhao Luoyi looked around vigilantly and indifferently.

After Li Meng got on the horse, he sat behind him, held the rein with his bloody palm, and shook it.

Li Meng moved uncomfortably in Zhao Luoyi's arms, and couldn't help looking back, the wind was howling, Zhao Luoyi sat behind him, the smell of blood was diluted by the air, and his warm body leaned against Li Meng.

Along the way, the two masters and apprentices had no time to chat. It was just dawn when they set off, and they found an inn to rest on the way.

Zhao Luoyi asked Li Meng to feed the horse, and when Li Meng returned to the upstairs room, Zhao Luoyi stood at the window, a long hideous scar quietly crawling on his muscular back.

Zhao Luoyi tied up her robe and said to Li Meng, "Go down and order two bowls of Yangchun noodles, and eat them in the room."

Li Meng didn't dare to say much, nodded, and saw the blood and water in the copper basin on the wooden shelf by the window slightly reflecting light.

Before leaving the house, Zhao Luoyi added: "Lay on two eggs."

To avoid trouble, Li Meng waited in the kitchen boredly for the noodles to be ready, and brought them upstairs by himself.

Sitting at the table, Zhao Luoyi put one hand on his waist, saw Li Meng coming in, shared the chopsticks, and gave Li Meng the egg in his own bowl, finished the noodle soup in two or three mouthfuls, and drank the soup in one gulp.

Li Meng hasn't finished eating the first egg yet.

"Don't worry, eat slowly." Zhao Luoyi said, walked over and picked up the copper basin, and poured blood water into the flowerpot in the corner of the room. The branches and leaves of the fortune tree were dense, and it was the season of thick green.

After Li Meng finished eating the noodles, Zhao Luoyi asked him to change his clothes.

Li Meng walked out in black, and Zhao Luoyi, who was sitting on the porch and casually watching the people coming and going downstairs, put down his hand on his waist and asked Li Meng to go out with him.

The two masters and apprentices hurried on the road at night, did not sleep all night, and stayed in the city during the day.

Another brothel.Li Meng looked up and saw the gold-plated signboard, his forehead twitched.

When the bustard saw Zhao Luoyi, she didn't gossip and asked the maid to lead her into the backyard.

All the way, Li Meng was thinking about Xin Niang, who was all gorgeous, and he could not help but squeeze his palms tightly. The maid turned into a secluded courtyard, and the noise of fans washing their faces or seeing off guests in the front yard went away, and could not be heard at all. .

The maid stopped in front of a room door and stepped forward to open it.

Zhao Luoyi nodded sideways: "Thank you."

The maid asked Zhao Luoyi how long he was staying, and Li Meng heard that he would leave only tomorrow night, thinking that Zhao Luoyi might have something to do here, or someone important in the house.

Stepping into it, I found that it was a simple and elegant room, with only an ebony guqin, no powdery smell, only clear and fragrant incense.

After looking around carefully, there was no one in the room. Li Meng felt relieved, and turned his head to look for Zhao Luoyi: "Master, have you visited all the brothels in Daqin? Why do I feel that the madam knows you..."

Before he finished speaking, behind the bead curtain, Zhao Luoyi was lying on the low couch closest to the door, covering his abdomen with one hand, his face was like gold paper, and he was unconscious.

☆, master

Li Meng rummaged through the baggage, and carefully took out the money bag from Zhao Luoyi's body. Seeing that there was a lot of money in it, he heaved a sigh of relief.Just as she was about to go out to buy medicine, she remembered something, pulled out a big quilt, covered Zhao Luoyi from head to toe tightly, put down all the curtains in the house, and then went out to buy medicine for Zhao Luoyi.

After leaving the door, Li Meng asked all the way, and after only turning two streets, he found a medical clinic and said that he wanted a good medicine for sores. After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and bought an old man's ginseng for 50 taels.

Because he was worried that Anbala's people would hunt him down, Li Meng didn't dare to take Zhao Luoyi to the clinic, he didn't even dare to cook medicine in the inn, so he could only apply the medicine to Zhao Luoyi's wound.

I don't know whether it is true that Zhao Luoyi said that she has a special physique, but Li Meng now believes it is true.The purse was lost, and after meeting Zhao Luoyi, there was nothing to say all the way, Li Meng was wondering where he could throw it, after much deliberation, the only possibility is that he disappeared when he was changing robes at Xinniang's place.Xinniang is acquainted with Zhao Luoyi, so she can still get it in the future.But the medicine given by Xiao Changchu was also lost, and Li Meng didn't know where it was lost. He looked at Zhao Luoyi in embarrassment, feeling very disturbed.

Originally thought that Zhao Luoyi would not come to save her, or come back after a few days after healed up.An Wen, who had just been rescued by Zhao Luoyi, disappeared into nothingness when facing this extremely weak man.

One day and one night, Li Meng took care of Zhao Luoyi in confusion, and when he heard his sniffing loudly, he immediately rushed to the bed, propped his chin up a few times and dozed off, and after he woke himself up, he didn't dare to touch Zhao Luoyi's breath.

Fortunately, during the day, the three meals were delivered, and Li Meng went to the servant girl to cook minced meat porridge, but he didn't encounter any difficulties.

But after surviving the second watch at night, Zhao Luoyi hardly reacted, no more twitching of hands and feet, or coughing noises.

Once Li Meng woke up, the oil lamp was faint and nearly extinguished.

After picking it up with the pick, he inadvertently glanced sleepily at the bed. Zhao Luoyi's face was pale and lifeless, lying motionless under the thick quilt.

Li Meng's pupils tightened, he held the oil lamp, shone it on Zhao Luoyi's face, and stretched out his hand to probe his neck.

In just a moment, Li Meng backed away in a hurry, and put the oil lamp that was shaking to the point of being extinguished on the table beside him.The throbbing in Zhao Luoyi's neck seemed to be left on his fingertips. Li Meng got up and touched Zhao Luoyi's head and then his neck. Although he still had a fever, it was no longer like burning coals in the afternoon, only slightly hotter than ordinary people.

Li Meng helped Zhao Luoyi up and wiped him.

In the meantime, Zhao Luoyi opened her eyes and saw Li Meng, asked for water once, and fell back to sleep.

Li Meng, who was eagerly looking forward to the dawn, fell asleep before the dawn. When he woke up, the sky was already bright, penetrating through the panes, and the dust was dancing in the air.

Li Meng lifted the quilt from his body, and it was difficult to get up immediately because of the headache.

There was no one in the room, so Zhao Luoyi left by herself?Or go out to do errands again... Does he want to die?

What Xinniang said in the brothel suddenly came to Li Meng's mind: "He was injured all year round, and he fought desperately. In the early years, he was even more ruthless. I thought he was in a hurry to find his mother."

Li Meng suddenly realized that maybe Zhao Luoyi wasn't injured so badly in the first place, and he was so angry and anxious that smoke was coming out of his ears.

The door slammed softly.

"Are you up?" Zhao Luoyi brought breakfast and asked Li Meng to go over, sat down at the same table, and gave him the chopsticks.

Li Meng peeked at him, his complexion has improved a lot, he no longer looks like a dead person, and his mood is a little more relaxed.

"Where are we going next?" Li Meng took a mouthful of powder, sweating from the heat.

Zhao Luoyi narrowed his eyes slightly, and rubbed the base of his right thumb and index finger, only then did Li Meng notice that he was holding the chopsticks with his left hand.

"Your Second Martial Uncle has set off to leave Qiyang, we will go separately, I haven't decided how to go."

Li Meng nodded: "Then how do we go?"

Zhao Luoyi stopped the chopsticks.

Li Meng raised his head, looked at him blankly, and noticed a trace of distrust in Zhao Luoyi's eyes, he didn't know whether it was a guilty conscience or something, he suddenly didn't dare to eat, and put down his chopsticks.

"I have a few questions, you answer truthfully, and I'll decide how to go." Zhao Luoyi glanced at Li Meng expressionlessly.

Li Meng put down his chopsticks and swallowed hard, "Excuse me, Master." At that moment, Li Meng had an ominous feeling, and he had this feeling once before, when he went to inquire about Xiao Changchu and found that she had left Yongyin, after returning to the inn , Li Meng fell asleep, and in the dream he felt that someone was pressing something cold against his neck. When he woke up, he was still confused, but he realized that something was wrong, so he simply hugged Zhao Luoyi, looking like he was frightened and dumbfounded by the dream. .

The atmosphere between the two of them now is just like when he opened his eyes that day, Li Meng suddenly felt that this was a critical moment of life and death, he couldn't help becoming tense, lowered his eyes, and unconsciously picked the table with his fingers.

Zhao Luoyi pondered for a moment, her eyebrows twitched.

"That day in Yongyin, you went to buy pastries according to your uncle's orders. After you came back, you asked me if Xiao Changchu didn't want to be a killer again. You haven't forgotten it, have you?"

Li Meng thought for a while in a daze, then nodded.

"Before that, you always called Xiao Changchu my junior sister. I never told you her name, nor did she say it herself."

Li Meng's heart sank, knowing that Zhao Luoyi had suspected him for a long time, so he was not nervous anymore.

"The next day I sent you out to do some shopping, so you went to a house specifically to inquire about Xiao Changchu's whereabouts."

"Are you following me?" Li Meng frowned.

"Well, it's fine anyway."

Thinking back to that day, after I finished shopping, I went back to sleep.When he woke up, he felt the coolness on his neck. At that time, Zhao Luoyi was sitting sideways in front of the bed with one hand in his collar. At that time, Zhao Luoyi was going to kill him.Li Meng's eyes became more and more calm, "And then?"

"Then, I told you that it was Huo Lianyun and I who killed He Ruiting. You know the rules in the building. Customer information is not disclosed, and task executors are also kept secret, except for the 'Diao'er who issued the task. The 'Kite' who is in charge of communication. This mission was not issued by Ruizhou, but it was connected with the previous mission. Huo Lianyun came to me with the handwritten letter from the host. Therefore, Diao'er and Yaozi didn't know that we were the executors. "

"You suspect it's me." Li Meng said expressionlessly.

Zhao Luoyi nodded indifferently, "Huo Lianyun reminded me more than once that there is something wrong with your origin. Your father is a court official, and Chen Shuo asked me to save you."

It was the first time Li Meng knew that Chen Shuo had saved his life. Thinking about it this way, the man who came out of his father's study in armor on the night of the family accident was probably Chen Shuo's man.Chen Shuo is a descendant of Humen, and now he also holds the rank of the imperial court. Why did he save himself?

"Chen Shuo is Xiao Changchu's superior." Zhao Luoyi said while observing Li Meng's expression, his eyes were wandering in thought, and he couldn't hide his surprise, obviously Li Meng didn't know about it.

"I have given you many opportunities along the way. I am willing to entrust you to a rich family and be a carefree young master. You have been with me for two years. You know exactly where Shifanglou is. You are only 15 You are old and have a bright future, so why do you have to follow me? That day you went to Xinniang's place, and you fell into Chunxiang in the building, and you had to pour cold water on your body to wake up as soon as possible. You left something behind." Zhao Luoyi took out two things and placed them in the on the table.

A purse with a picture of a carp playing with a lotus, a bit old.

Li Meng was overjoyed, but before he could react, he heard Zhao Luoyi say: "After the Nanmei savages arrested you, I went back to the government office and got your baggage back."

A click made Li Meng's toes stiffen, Zhao Luoyi obviously meant something.

"Apart from the Wuwang Sword and some odds and ends, you still have this in your luggage."

The wooden box was pressed down on the table with a "snap" and pushed towards Li Meng. He wanted to get the purse back, but Zhao Luoyi stared at him with a muscular side neck and gloomy eyes.

The powerful murderous aura made Li Meng unable to move, and even wanted to tremble.

"What can you say?" Zhao Luoyi asked.

"Will you kill me?" After a while, Li Meng asked without answering.

"It depends on your answer." Zhao Luoyi narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression was as usual, it seemed that the injury that was almost fatal yesterday was no longer serious.

"This purse contains a token given to me by a little girl in the Qiyang government office. She wants to find me in the future. There is also a ring, which is left by my mother. The wooden box contains the skill of dissolving people. Xiao Changchu gave me the medicine powder, and she asked me to find a chance to give you the medicine." Li Meng bit his lips, "I haven't had time to do it, first you are injured all day long, and it is too late to give you medicine, can you in the future Be a little more careful..."

After being glanced at by Zhao Luoyi, Li Meng felt that his murderous intent was not so serious, but he didn't dare to say any more irrelevant words, "That day in Yongyin, I was arrested by Xiao Changchu."

From then on, Li Meng explained clearly how he was bewitched, how he contacted, and how he gave orders, including old man Sun.

What Ben said was the truth, the more Li Meng said it, the more calm he looked, and he was no longer afraid of Zhao Luoyi.

"Don't kill me, I can't die yet." At the end, Li Meng begged.

Zhao Luoyi stood up and looked down at Li Meng from a high position. The oppressive feeling made it difficult for Li Meng to breathe.

"If I hadn't asked you today, you would have followed Xiao Changchu's order, right?"

Li Meng shook his head, Zhao Luoyi's expression eased a little, and he heard Li Meng say: "The powder is gone, I can't do it."

"..." Zhao Luoyi changed the way of asking, "As long as someone threatens you with your own life, can you follow the other party's order without bottom line principles?"

Although Zhao Luoyi didn't make a move, Li Meng felt as if he had been slapped and his face was hot.

Seeing that Li Meng didn't speak, Zhao Luoyi had a headache. Looking back on the past two years, he took Li Meng as his apprentice, but never really taught him anything real, and felt guilty for a moment.Li Meng has no experience in traveling the rivers and lakes, so he must have been terrified when he was caught playing a Gu, and he had to hide it when he came back.He was also put into a cover by himself, if it wasn't for a sudden mistake that day, maybe Li Meng would have died.

"come over."

Zhao Luoyi walked to the bed and patted her side as a gesture.

Li Meng stood up slowly and glanced at the door.

Zhao Luoyi didn't look at him, even if he ran out, it would be useless, if the Nanmei people arrested him again, he would be in danger, not to mention he didn't think he had the ability to escape from this brothel.

"Hand out."

Li Meng stretched out his hand.

"Roll up your sleeves."

The pale and thin arm was exposed, and the red line was inch long from the elbow joint. If you didn't look carefully, you might think it was a scar on the skin.When Zhao Luoyi touched the red line with his finger, Li Meng clenched his teeth, cold sweat dripped from his forehead.

"pain?"

Li Meng shook his head: "It's not pain, it's uncomfortable all over."

"Is the old man you saw that night, surnamed Sun, without legs?"

"Yes." Li Meng drooped his head listlessly, Zhao Luoyi put down his sleeves, but this action was unexpectedly gentle.Li Meng pursed his lips, still worried and asked: "You won't kill me, right?"

Zhao Luoyi glanced at him, the corners of his mouth were pulled down tightly, his expression was not at all happy.

"I was bullied, why didn't you tell me. I am your master, have you forgotten?" Zhao Luoyi scolded.

"I'm afraid of you." Li Meng said honestly.

Zhao Luoyi felt a little strange in his heart, and his heart softened by this sentence.Li Meng was taken away by him when he was 13 years old, and he didn't have any relatives around him. Although they didn't spend much time together, serving tea, pouring water, washing clothes, everything was handled by his apprentice.While following him, he was afraid at the same time, but he refused to leave.Zhao Luoyi now somewhat understands why he refused to leave, presumably because he wanted to learn skills from himself so as to avenge his family.Feeling downcast for a moment, Li Meng looked like a homeless puppy.

Zhao Luoyi scratched her head, "Forget it, I just happen to be going to Nanzhou, if that's the case, let's go to Nanzhou first."

"Nanzhou?" Li Meng had heard of that place, which is an important town near the border in the southern part of Daqin. "Fengyang is north of Nanzhou, and there is a detour to get to Nanzhou."

"You can ask Huo Lianyun to wait." Zhao Luoyi said calmly, straightened Li Meng's collar, dusted off his robe, and glanced at him with satisfaction.

"In the future, if someone bullies you, just tell me that there are not many people who dare to offend me in the Jianghu. If you meet someone who is difficult to deal with, report my name, maybe it will work."

Li Meng nodded, feeling that the atmosphere between the two seemed to have eased a lot, Zhao Luoyi seemed to really regard him as his apprentice, so happy, he jumped on Zhao Luoyi's back.

"..." Zhao Luoyi was caught off guard, so he had no choice but to support Li Meng's buttocks to prevent him from falling, and said angrily, "Don't mess around!"

"Then are you my master?" Taking advantage of Zhao Luoyi's difficulty in resisting, Li Meng yelled in his ear.

"Go back to Ruizhou and talk about it."

Li Meng raised the corner of his mouth, no matter what Zhao Luoyi said
