Take the sword out of Yanjing

One bite.

The soft and warm rice soup made him feel a little better. He sniffed, ate slowly, and glanced at the door blankly.

Perhaps when the man came to retrieve the bowl, he should try to escape.

Soon Li Meng shook his head, the high fever made him not very conscious, he could feel his face was swollen, and his body seemed to be dismembered by five horses, it hurt everywhere.

Li Meng sat there for a while, but no one came to pick up the bowl. Everyone in the building should be busy with the warm funeral.

Although it was uncomfortable to sleep, after waking up, after all, he regained some energy.

Qu Linhan lied. At first, the people in the building didn't believe his words. In this way, Li Meng himself was the one who lied. Zhao Luoyi gave him the dagger that killed Wen Xu, let alone when everyone rushed into the house , he was holding the dagger, and a perfect shot was taken.

The only doubt is why he wanted to kill Wen Xu.

Qu Linhan's testimony overturned Li Meng's statement that the two were stunned and had no idea what happened.Zhao Luoyi took the initiative to find a motive for him. Before being thrown into the firewood room, he confronted each other in the warm room. Those images flooded into Li Meng's mind in an instant.

Li Meng took a deep breath.

Zhao Luoyi confessed the crime of negligence, and told his life experience in front of everyone in Shifanglou. With this life experience, the most suspicious motives became unsuspecting.He could be someone who was placed in Shifanglou by the imperial court. After all, the imperial court's proposal to buy Shifanglou was rejected by Wen Xu.

Looking back, it really seemed that his master and senior brother joined hands to prove him guilty of killing Wen Xu.

The self-deprecating sneer failed to reach Li Meng's eyes, and he suddenly trembled.

Li Meng raised his neck, his Adam's apple twitched heavily, and his breathing became short of breath.

A voice asked him, why not?Maybe that's the truth.

This thought was like a powerful hand that strangled Li Meng's neck mercilessly. His breath stopped for a moment, and the sound of the door opening came to his ears before he gasped.

As Zhao Luoyi stepped into the firewood room, Li Meng shrank unconsciously, his face became ugly.

With a "squeak", the door was closed behind Zhao Luoyi, leaving only a gap, adding a little light to the room.

"Come here." Zhao Luoyi looked down at Li Meng and said coldly.

Li Meng bit his lip, and for the first time turned a deaf ear to Zhao Luoyi's orders, he huddled in a corner of the woodshed, looking very pitiful.

"Your hand needs to be connected." Zhao Luoyi said.

"No need." Li Meng raised his face stubbornly.

The bruised and purple, swollen and deformed face made Zhao Luoyi's pupils shrink slightly.

Li Meng was dejected, with one arm wrapped around his knees, his dislocated wrist drooping lifelessly to the ground.

Zhao Luoyi strode forward and squatted down in front of Li Meng, "Does it hurt?"

Li Meng didn't say anything.

"It must be very painful." The vague words did not seem like what Zhao Luoyi would say. He carefully grabbed Li Meng's arm, and the two of them fought secretly. In the end, Li Meng's strength was not Zhao Luoyi's opponent at all. He lost, betting on his trust. He lost, he lost the gamble, the indifferent man in front of him, his heart must be made of the hardest stone in the world, invulnerable to all poisons, calm in waves.

A slight "click" sound came from the cracks in the bones. Although the ears couldn't hear it, the sharp pain touched Li Meng's nerves. His face turned red, and tears welled up in his eyes.

"Okay." Zhao Luoyi let out a long breath, he was a little afraid to look at Li Meng at this moment, and his eyes were dodged intentionally.

In Li Meng's eyes, only Zhao Luoyi's indifferent and broad forehead remained. He didn't even look at him. The softest part of his chest was rubbed back and forth by a ruthless hand. Knead into what shape.

"Does it still hurt?" Zhao Luoyi pressed Li Meng's severely swollen wrist with his fingers, gently massaged his palm, moved the newly connected wrist, and pressed his fingers against the bone to feel whether the connection has been completed.

"Speak!" Zhao Luoyi's tough words came to an abrupt end, hot tears fell on the back of his hands one after another, his brows furrowed imperceptibly, and his face was tense.

Zhao Luoyi took a deep breath, and then tried her best to look at Li Meng's miserable appearance with a calm expression.

Only one night later, Li Meng's lively look had completely faded away, and his wet eyes were soaked in tears, and the appearance of holding his breath made Zhao Luoyi feel a heartache that he had never experienced before, perhaps because he had never experienced it before. , he lowered his head in doubt, and touched his left chest with one hand.

Is it the connection between mother and child Gu?he thought suspiciously, eyelids twitching.

"It's okay, don't be afraid."

Why even hug?Li Meng thought in a daze, leaning heavily on Zhao Luoyi's shoulder, tears streaming down his face silently, Zhao Luoyi hugged him tightly, almost strangling Li Meng out of breath.

"Will I die?" Li Meng asked in a trembling voice, "I don't want to die."

For a moment, many pictures surfaced in Zhao Luoyi's mind. Li Meng was always afraid of death. In order to save his life, he worked for Xiao Changchu and almost ruined a big event.It was also to save his life. After hearing Sun Tianyin say that he would not die, he gradually showed the innocent and enthusiastic temperament of a young man.Ever since he went to pick up Li Meng in Lingzhou, he was a little old man who was always shy and self-closing, with a mature and guarded face, until now he has completely let go of his guard and opened his heart.

Zhao Luoyi mumbled his lips, and swallowed the words when they reached his lips. He stroked Li Meng's back comfortingly, but did not speak.

"Then if I die, can you do one thing for me?" Li Meng started crying again, he couldn't stop sniffing and panting, he pushed Zhao Luoyi away and stared at him intently, as if this could make Zhao Luoyi remember clearly, " Help me find out, who insisted on putting my father to death, and then killing the perpetrator for revenge." He was afraid that Zhao Luoyi would refuse, so he added eagerly, "You can do it."

Zhao Luoyi looked at him with complicated expressions, and finally nodded.

Li Meng relaxed, his back slightly hunched, and he sat there with his hands and feet spread out, like a child who was tired from playing.

"I didn't kill Grand Master." With an aggrieved tone, Li Meng raised his head and looked at Zhao Luoyi. Zhao Luoyi showed no unnecessary expression, and his gradually blurred vision made this person get farther and farther away from him.

Zhao Luoyi's sharp brows furrowed uncontrollably, and suddenly he stretched out his arms, hugging Li Meng in his arms, almost touching his ears, and said depressedly, "I know."

Li Meng froze on the spot at a loss.

"With your little ability, I believe you can kill a few horses, but it's still far from killing people." Li Meng's temperament is not enough to kill Wen Xu without him noticing.Zhao Luoyi didn't say these words, but she knew them very well in her heart.

Seeing that Li Meng was a little confused, Zhao Luoyi poked his forehead, but frowned, "Why is it so hot?" His big hands covered with calluses from martial arts practice covered Li Meng's forehead, "Have a fever?"

"Master, do you believe that I didn't kill people?" Li Meng panted heavily, but his eyes were excited.

The light in Li Meng's eyes gave Zhao Luoyi the illusion of being burned, he said in a deep voice, "It's so easy to be fooled, even if I have a hundred lives, it's not enough to die."

The skin touched by his palms was scorching hot, and Li Meng's lips were chapped and bleeding from the burn. Ever since Zhao Luoyi said that he knew it wasn't Li Meng who killed Wen Xu, Li Meng's dejected appearance just now disappeared like a chicken blood.

"Mr. Yinyang said that the funeral will be held in seven days. It has already been one day. On the day of the funeral, the funeral procession will start before dawn. Qu Linhan will come to pick you up. You follow him and go to Nanzhou first. Sir." Zhao Luoyi put his hand on Li Meng's red ears, and touched his lips lightly, "Do you remember the mother-child Gu planted on your body?"

Li Meng nodded confusedly.

"It should have been taken out six months after it was planted, so that the Gu worms that Xiao Changchu planted on you can be completely eradicated. I will rush to the idle house before July." Zhao Luoyi's lips moved, as if hesitating for a long while, He pressed the back of Li Meng's head and hugged Li Meng in his arms.

Li Meng's fever made him a little dull, and when he spoke, his throat was like a file grinding against his skin.

"You must come as soon as possible." Li Meng said, "I will wait for you."

Zhao Luoyi pushed Li Meng away, stared at him quietly for a moment, and pressed against Li Meng's hot forehead.

Li Meng felt an indescribable pain, and smelled the vague uneasiness. He murmured: "I will wait for you. I will leave when you come to the Idle House. If I can't get rid of the Gu in time, will I die? "

"No." Zhao Luoyi's Adam's apple twitched, and his deep eyes kept looking at his little apprentice as if he couldn't get enough of it, "But if your brain is hurt by a Gu insect, you might, forget some things." He spoke very slowly.

Li Meng smiled wryly and said: "It's okay, master just help me remember, if you really can't come in time, you must come." The swallowing action made Li Meng frown in pain, "Anyway, you're done with your business, come quickly ,I'll hold."

In the dark and air-ventilated firewood room, both master and apprentice were breathing heavily, and the sound of each other's inhalation could be heard clearly.

"Li Meng." Zhao Luoyi's deep voice suddenly sounded.

"Ok?"

"I can probably guess who killed my master. My mother mentioned it back then. But it's a long story. In short, on the day of the funeral, I will attract people sent by the imperial court to snatch the hundred soldiers. No matter who it is, I don't know." Let them go back alive."

Sulinge is an institution that makes people's faces change. Li Meng knew that Zhao Luoyi was not sure that he could clear it all at once, but Shifanglou was the warm effort that single-handedly raised Zhao Luoyi, and nothing could stop him from working hard for Shifanglou.

Finally Li Meng nodded obediently, "We still have a lot of time when you come back, you can tell me slowly."

Zhao Luoyi let out a soft "um" in his nasal cavity, he raised Li Meng's head, put one hand on the back of Li Meng's head, and kissed his lips heavily.

This kiss was rougher and more desperate than ever, even Li Meng's lips were split, and the tingling and rust smell stimulated the two people in the deep kiss.

The fiery breath was tangled together and couldn't be separated. Zhao Luoyi slid his big hand down and felt Li Meng's slender waist. This body still belonged to a boy, and the unique soul in the body was his only concern and concern.

"No matter how dangerous the mission is, I have never felt afraid, even..." Zhao Luoyi took a breath, pressing his thumb on the terrifying scar on the brow, "The first mission is not like this time. You It will really slow you down." Zhao Luoyi patted Li Meng's butt and sighed.

"I won't keep dragging my feet." Li Meng said in disbelief with his neck stuck.

"Well, I don't know if I can enjoy such benefits in my lifetime." Zhao Luoyi teased.

Someone knocked on the door outside.

The master and apprentice immediately shut their mouths tacitly. Li Meng watched Zhao Luoyi get up and open the door.

"Taotie is looking for you everywhere, Uncle Zhao, let's see if he can go there first." A respectful voice came.

Li Meng saw Zhao Luoyi looking back at him, but the light was so dark that he couldn't see Zhao Luoyi's face clearly, he only heard him say, "Got it", and he closed the door and walked out.

Back in the darkness, Li Meng felt a lot more at ease. Because he was relaxed, he even huddled in a corner and fell asleep without any worries. He stuck out his tongue and licked the corner of his mouth in a daze. It was clearly the smell of blood, but Li Meng tasted it. A touch of sweetness.

☆, 44

This time Li Meng slept soundly, and suddenly heard a noise in the middle of the night, Li Meng looked at the door in a daze, and a voice came from outside the door: "Little one, go to the latrine, and be back in half an hour."

Zhao Luoyi said "um" and closed the door casually.

Li Meng watched Zhao Luoyi sit cross-legged across from him, and took out a plate of roast duck, two dishes of side dishes, and a small wine bottle from the food box, but they didn't put them in front of Li Meng.

"There is nothing else in the kitchen, only steamed buns, and the roast duck is from Yinquanju."

"Give me some wine." Li Meng stared at the glass with bright eyes.

"No, you're on the wrong side of drinking." The gurgling sound of the wine being poured into the glass made Li Meng swallow.

"There's nothing to do tonight..." Li Meng muttered.

Zhao Luoyi didn't speak, as if thinking about it.

Li Meng didn't want to use chopsticks. It had been a long time since his last meal, and his stomach was already empty.However, Zhao Luoyi forced the chopsticks into his hands. Li Meng didn't care about talking to Zhao Luoyi, so he filled his stomach half full before sniffing, looking at Zhao Luoyi with moist eyes, "Master..."

"Huh?" Zhao Luoyi twitched her eyebrows, took a sip of her wine, and smacked her lips.

"Isn't this the last meal?" There is a rule for seeing off prisoners. Before you go on the road, eat more and be a full ghost.

"You kid..." Zhao Luoyi laughed, "I told you so much during the day."

Li Meng still feels unreal now, after all, Zhao Luoyi only told him how to go next, but didn't tell him why, everything was blurred and distorted in his mind.Why let Qu Linhan take him away, why can't he wait for him to finish his work and leave together?Chai Jin was a traitor in the Shifang Building, and he had already been cleaned up. On the day of the funeral, Zhao Luoyi's opponent should be Xiao Changchu. The two had fought each other before, and Xiao Changchu was obviously not Zhao Luoyi's opponent, so there should be no risk.But Zhao Luoyi's cautiousness was mixed with worry, as if this battle might not be sure.

"Eat more, I don't know when the next meal will be." The chopsticks hit the edge of the blue and white bowl in front of Li Meng, and the crisp sound pulled him back to the small black room.

After eating, Li Meng felt uncomfortable in his stomach, maybe he had been starving for too long.

Zhao Luoyi cleaned up the dishes, hugged him in front of him, rubbed Li Meng's abdomen, an indescribable warmth overflowed from Zhao Luoyi's palm, Li Meng sniffled, "Master, I want to tell you something, Don't be angry when you hear it."

"If you know I'm going to be angry, don't say it."

Li Meng held his breath for a while.

"Forget it, let's talk about it." Zhao Luoyi saw his uncomfortable face relax, and the corner of his mouth slightly curled up. He put one hand on Li Meng's vest, and dredged the tendons in his body with internal force.

"When Grand Master is gone, the hearts of the people in the building will be scattered. Shifang Building is not a place to stay for a long time. In the future, it will either be used by the court, or each will make a living. It is safer than twisting people with different opinions on the same rope." Li Meng raised his head and looked at Zhao Luoyi hesitantly, but he couldn't tell what emotion he was in. The internal force that roamed all over his body warmed his hands and feet, and he didn't feel that he was still having a fever, but seemed to be full of strength.

The long silence made Li Meng cry out worriedly, maybe Zhao Luoyi was angry.

"Let's talk about it when the time comes, avenge the master, let them do whatever they want." The low voice was like a steady bell.

Li Meng kneaded Zhao Luoyi's chest muscles unconsciously, and the hot breath he exhaled sprayed on Zhao Luoyi's strong chest. Zhao Luoyi's face twitched, "What are you doing?"

Li Meng laughed a few times and didn't say anything, but his hand had already slipped inside the collar of his coat.

In the firewood room late at night, it was cold and damp, and there was no more reliable heater than a human body. Li Meng sniffed and muttered softly, "We've been better for quite some time now, what Kunyi taught me hasn't come in handy yet, You're not even sure if you can come to Nanzhou in July..." Li Meng rubbed the wet tip of his nose against Zhao Luoyi's chest.

Zhao Luoyi supported Li Meng's buttocks, and patted his buttocks with her broad palm.

"The future is long. What are you anxious about? Is it the time to be anxious? Your grand master's body is not yet cold, and the future of Shifanglou is uncertain. What do you want to do? Hmm? What can you do now?" Zhao Luoyi snorted coldly, and was rubbed by Li Meng His neck was dripping with sweat, and if the window hadn't been closed to keep a gleam of light from coming in, his neck and shoulders could be seen flushing.

"Give me a drink."

Zhao Luoyi's eyes were dark, as if something was on his mind, and the way he stared at Li Meng gradually changed. He curled his lips slightly, "Have a drink?"

Li Meng nodded quickly.

The palms that were still touching Zhao Luoyi's body were a little hot, Zhao Luoyi lowered his head and rubbed Li Meng's forehead, "You still have a fever, you are so weak, what do you want Master to do?"

Li Meng couldn't hear what Zhao Luoyi was saying, he just rubbed back and forth in his arms, Zhao Luoyi drank some wine, sweated a little, and felt hot at this moment.

Seeing Zhao Luoyi looking up and sweeping the door, Li Meng asked, "Has the gatekeeper come back?"

"No, but he doesn't dare to go too far. He knows that you are my apprentice. When I come to see you, no one dares not to be wary. If he lets you go, he will have to pay with his own life."

Li Meng curled his lips in dissatisfaction, "I didn't kill people."

Zhao Luoyi didn't speak, and let Li Meng scramble his robes.

"Where's the wine? Give me a sip!" Li Meng softened his voice and said coquettishly.

"Drink up."

"You've only had four glasses." Because he wanted to drink, when Zhao Luoyi drank the first glass of wine, Li Meng paid attention to counting.

"What kind of wine does the kid drink?" Zhao Luoyi scolded softly, caressing Li Meng's back absently, and holding Li Meng who was writhing restlessly.

"Twelve next month and I'll be sixteen!"

"Is that your birthday?" Zhao Luoyi's voice sounded a little strange.

"Yes."

"I do not know how?"

"You never stayed with me in that year." Li Meng said depressedly, going to grab the wine bottle that Zhao Luoyi put beside him.

"Every year from now on, Master will spend with you."

Li Meng's face brightened, "Really?"

Zhao Luoyi looked away, her lips moved uncomfortably, and there was a soft "um" in her nose.

Silence was blocked between the two for a moment, and Li Meng suddenly laughed.

"..." Zhao Luoyi pulled out the hand that was trying to reach under her abdomen, and frowned slightly, "You're muddy before drinking?"

"If you don't give me a drink, I'm going to mess around." Li Meng said maliciously.

"Give."

Li Meng was a little disappointed, but at least one goal was achieved. He didn't even look at the wine glass, he just grabbed the bottle and drank it. It must be gushed out at any time, so that the two of them alone in the dark night are both novel and exciting.He sticks his thin mouth to the mouth of the bottle, staring at Zhao Luoyi while drinking.

Zhao Luoyi turned her face sideways, "Okay, I'll take more than one sip." Zhao Luoyi took back the wine bottle and found it was empty, she couldn't laugh or cry, and slapped Li Meng's butt, "I..."

"What kind of wine is this? It's delicious." Li Meng was so hot that tears welled up in his eyes. He didn't know if it was good or not, but he just knew that it was a bit floaty. Let him go out from here now. He squirmed, With one hand, he loosened Zhao Luoyi's belt.

"..." Zhao Luoyi took a deep breath, chanting words in a low voice.

Li Meng moved his fingers in doubt, and said strangely: "Why is it not as big as I saw..."

"What?" Zhao Luoyi didn't hear clearly.

That night when Zhao Luoyi was taking a shower, Li Meng peeked at her, but pretended to be okay.He stopped talking immediately, shook his head abruptly, and tried hard with his fingers, but in vain.

"What's going on..." The more strange it was, the more anxious he became. Hearing Zhao Luoyi's gasp, Li Meng quickly let go of his hand, "Does it hurt?"

"Ah."

"Is he asleep?" Li Meng asked unwillingly.

"In the middle of the night, you should be asleep." Zhao Luoyi held Li Meng's hand, making him wrap his arms around her waist, and said in a deep voice, "Be honest."

"Master..." Li Meng raised his face in Zhao Luoyi's arms, and the mellow smell of wine lingered between them, "You took an unwritten booklet from Sun Tianyin, didn't you?"

"..." Zhao Luoyi coughed twice.

"I saw it all!"

"...Who allows you to peek at my things? I am your master."

"I saw it by the way." Li Meng's breathing became very light, "How are you learning now?" He moved frizzily in Zhao Luoyi's arms.

"busy."

"Then have you learned it? Where have you learned it?" Li Meng stared at Zhao Luoyi with bright eyes.

Zhao Luoyi took a deep breath, touched his nose, and looked away.

"Don't be embarrassed...the last time I went to a brothel, I also asked people to learn a few tricks."

"Kun Yan?" Zhao Luoyi thought for a while and asked.

"Well, a little boy, he is very nice."

"very good?"

"He's pretty good-looking, with a docile personality and patience." Li Meng didn't pay attention at all. As he spoke, Zhao Luoyi's eyes became darker, and Ben was pressing his hand and rubbing his waist lightly. .

"Hey, don't touch there..." Li Meng stammered, and Zhao Luoyi rubbed the rough calluses on his chest, which almost made it difficult for him to speak clearly, and his whole body was a little weak.

"Looks good?"

Li Meng felt the trembling in his bone marrow, and couldn't help pushing Zhao Luoyi away, but it was useless, he already felt that the thing that was firmly pressed against his back was much bigger than when he touched it just now.

"Docile personality?" Zhao Luoyi put Li Meng's ears in his mouth as he spoke, and kept his hands. He wanted to play with Li Meng and scare him, but it became more and more difficult to stop him.

Li Meng couldn't help remembering that he drank too much last time, and was beaten to death by Zhao Luoyi's hand, so he trembled all over, and whispered: "Master, I was wrong."

Zhao Luoyi said indifferently: "Oh." His fingers were very nimble. Compared with Li Meng's unfamiliar skills, his movements can be described as very skilled.

"..." Li Meng's feverish and hot body struggled twice, and Zhao Luoyi asked without emotion, "You are still very patient?"

An ominous premonition welled up in Li Meng's heart, didn't he even care about such a trivial matter!And Zhao Luoyi seemed to want to prove that she was also very patient, stopping Li Meng from venting countless times when his body couldn't bear it.

Until a cautious voice came from outside: "Uncle Zhao?"

In an instant, Li Meng's body straightened, his toes were squeezed tightly, and he looked at Zhao Luoyi with moist eyes, and grasped Zhao Luoyi's arm with one hand.

Zhao Luoyi lowered her head and kissed his lips, and the two exchanged a long kiss.

The second probing sound sounded, Li Meng hurriedly gave Zhao Luoyi a look, and shrank back embarrassedly.

The door made a slight creaking sound and was about to be pushed open.

Li Meng was so anxious that he almost bit Zhao Luoyi's tongue.

"Wait a minute, I'll teach my apprentice a lesson." Zhao Luoyi patted Li Meng's butt on purpose while speaking.

People outside even claimed to be so respectful that Li Meng blushed for him, but he was already blushing enough.

Zhao Luoyi directly wiped his hands on Li Meng's robe, and he walked to the door. Only then did Li Meng see a smile on the corner of his cold mouth, and lowered his head in embarrassment. Hearing the sound of the door closing, he dared to look up at the re-locked door in a daze. .

The next day, Zhao Luoyi came in the afternoon and left quickly after seeing that Li Meng had no fever.

The night before the funeral, Zhao Luoyi brought Li Meng's Wuwang Sword. Li Meng touched the cold scabbard, thought for a while, and took out the purse hanging from his collar.

"This ring was left to my mother by my father, and it is for you." Li Meng pretended to be relaxed.

It was a black jade ring, still carrying the warmth of Li Meng's body.

"Give it to me later." Zhao Luoyi wanted to put the ring back into his purse, but Li Meng pressed his hand and took the ring from his fingers, trying to put it on Zhao Luoyi's middle finger, but he couldn't put it on, so he put it on his ring finger alright.

"Just right." Li Meng said happily.

Zhao Luoyi looked sideways, didn't say anything, felt something in the purse, looked casually, it was a Jade Buddha, and met Li Meng with questioning eyes.

Li Meng thought of Tao'er in the red coat, avoided Zhao Luoyi's stare in embarrassment, coughed twice, "It looks good, I bought it casually."

Fortunately, Zhao Luoyi didn't intend to ask any more questions, and asked him to discuss something with Qu Linhan.

"Although your senior brother is not as quick-witted as you, he is calm. He looks at you, so I feel at ease." Zhao Luoyi rubbed Li Meng's head.

"He lied!" Li Meng pouted dissatisfiedly.

"That night, if Qu Linhan agrees with you, both of you will be involved."

Li Meng was stunned for a moment before hearing Zhao Luoyi continue to say, "He denies it. You are the only one who can't prove himself. If he admits that he fainted with you, how can he explain that he woke up downstairs and went upstairs with us? It will make people think that he is protecting you."

Li Meng pursed his lips in displeasure, thought for a while, and said, "Then if he reveals his identity, the people in the building will think that you and the second uncle deliberately concealed it for the sake of the hundred soldiers."

"Probably not."

Li Meng stared wide-eyed, "What?"

"It's inconvenient to talk here. When we meet again in Nanzhou, I will tell you everything. On the way, Linhan will tell you about what happened that day. You should think about it yourself. By the way..." Zhao Luoyi took out a stack of bank notes , Li Meng took a cursory glance and found that they were all in denominations of 500 taels.

"So much..." Li Meng swallowed his saliva, but soon became worried, how could he look like Tuogu.

"When you arrive in Nanzhou, if someone seeks trouble, you should find a place to hide first. Idle people are the safest, but if Zhao Qiande is unwilling to take you in..."

"Who is Zhao Gande?" Li Meng asked.

"Being my elder brother, no one should be able to trespass in the Idle House, but Sun Tianyin may not stay there forever. If Sun Tianyin leaves the Idle House, you will follow him."

"Oh." Li Meng put away the money, and unconsciously rubbed his fingers in Zhao Luoyi's palm. It seemed that he couldn't get enough of those rough and cold calluses.

Zhao Luoyi casually hugged Li Meng, remembered something, and put a jade pendant in Li Meng's palm, "This is my token of contact with Zhao Gande, keep it well, and don't let others see it."

The quality of the jade was good, and Li Meng felt familiar. He quickly remembered that it was the piece that Zhao Luoyi had asked someone to bring to the public when he went to the idle residence.

"Come find me when you're done." Li Meng looked seriously into Zhao Luoyi's eyes.

Zhao Luoyi's heart heaved twice, he stretched out his arms, hugged Li Meng tightly, took a rough breath on his shoulder, and nodded solemnly twice like a promise, "Treasure."

The two of them hugged quietly, Li Meng originally thought that he must not fall asleep and cherish the last night before the two parted, but when the gatekeeper reminded Zhao Luoyi of the time, he had already dozed off for a while.

Zhao Luoyi took off his coat, put it on the back of his head, and supported Li Meng to lie on the haystack.

"Sleep for a few more hours, we can go on our way when we are full." In Zhao Luoyi's deep voice, Li Meng closed his eyes.After staring at the peaceful sleeping face of the young man with deep eyes, Zhao Luoyi kissed Li Meng's forehead earnestly, got up and left neatly.

Li Meng, who stayed in the woodshed for five days, was more sensitive to the sound of unlocking than any other sound.He rubbed his swollen eyelids and looked at the door suspiciously.

"Junior Brother..." Qu Linhan's voice was deliberately lowered.

"It's not yet dawn...why did you come here?" Even though he said that, Li Meng got up immediately and lived in this palm-sized woodshed for many days. His knees were weak. Live, almost fell to the ground.

"Everyone in the building has gone to the funeral, and I put down the gatekeeper. Hurry up and change your clothes." Qu Linhan said in a tone that could not refuse, and threw a cloth bag to Li Meng.

It was a set of clean black martial robes, tailored to fit, it should be his own clothes.While fastening the belt of his robe, Li Meng asked him, "Has Master gone too?"

"Well, all those with a little head and face have gone, and the rest are almost not touching 'black'."

The implication is that those business masters who really can't see the Shifanglou have gone to Duanlongya with the funeral procession. When the weirdo asked, Li Meng really meant to lure him there. After all, there are many institutions there, maybe the weirdo Once you get in, you can't get out.But in the end it was me who lost, so I had nothing to think about.

"Let's go now?"

"Aren't you going to save it for the New Year?" Qu Linhan sneered, he walked ahead, looking around all the way, and when he felt safe, he turned around and waved to Li Meng.

They only met four little handymen with little martial arts, and they were all brought down by Qu Linhan's hidden weapon.

The two left from the back door of the Shifang Building. The Ruizhou Mansion hadn't fully awakened yet, and the whole city was like a giant sleeping in the dark.

"Wait." Li Meng suddenly said, the dark alley just passed, Li Meng couldn't ignore the large water tank in the corner, the animal head on the tank was knocked off the nose ring, and the ear One piece is missing, if I remember correctly, his house is nearby.

Qu Linhan grabbed his shoulder, "Where are you going?"

"I lived in Ruizhou when I was young, and my house is nearby. Go and have a look." Li Meng turned his head, stared at the corner not far away, grabbed Qu Linhan's hand, and wanted to break it open. When will he be so strong? degree.Li Meng had no choice but to stare at Qu Linhan, his face flushed.

"Hey, now is not the time!" Qu Linhan pulled Li Meng's arm, forcing him to walk a few steps quickly. Seeing that he was about to leave the alley, Li Meng broke away from his hand and waited for Qu Linhan to catch up. Li Meng had already run to a fork that the two of them had passed before, and his figure flashed quickly, sinking into the depths of the alley.

As he approached the corner, Li Meng had already seen the thin light shining from the narrow passage on the east side. He took a deep breath of cold air and rubbed his hands, the palms of which were already sweating.

There should be two huge stone lions squatting there. At that time, he was not as tall as the lions. My elder brother liked to play with his head in the lion's mouth, although his head could not be inserted at all.

Footsteps came after him, but Li Meng walked forward without looking.

The light cast by a pair of lanterns is not too dark. There are no stone lions at the door, but there are two square stone piers, and the marks left by the removal of the stone carvings can be seen.

There was a carriage parked at the door, a horse-drawn carriage for ordinary people, and the intermittent crying of babies sounded from time to time.

A young woman pulled up a small emerald quilt, tucked it in the baby's face, and stuffed her outstretched hands back into the quilt, and a woman with gray hair behind her head clung tightly to the string on the quilt. .

The young woman smiled and patted the baby's cheek, coaxing him in a low voice.

A tall man stood by the door. The young woman handed the child to the mother-in-law to hold. The man hugged the young woman, helped her into the carriage, and stood by the door to watch the carriage leave.

Li Meng's nose fluttered, and he stepped forward resolutely, grabbing the sleeve of the man's robe before he entered the door.

"Li Meng!" Qu Linhan's tone was already warning.

The man was very surprised, looked at Li Meng suspiciously, put down his vigilance, glanced at Qu Linhan again, pushed Li Meng's hand away from his robe, and asked, "What's your business, little brother?"

It should be easy to speak, but something blocked his throat, making it difficult for Li Meng to breathe. He bulged his eyes, took two deep breaths, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Is there a persimmon tree in the backyard?"

The man was confused and frowned.

Li Meng raised his voice suddenly, "Is there an old persimmon tree in the backyard of this house!"

Unobvious anger surfaced on the man's face, he was about to speak when Qu Linhan interrupted——

"I'm really sorry, my late surname is Qu. This is my younger brother. I used to know the owner of this house, but when I got closer, I didn't look like it. The two of us made a harmless little bet. If he loses Well, I have to take off my clothes and run around the main road of Ruizhou Mansion three times with my back on my back."

The man was skeptical, "Since the two of you bet, what has nothing to do with me, if you don't leave, I will call someone."

Li Meng stared at the plaque, on which was written the word "Zhai Mansion". The man looked either rich or noble, no matter what his status was, if he wanted to go in, no one could stop him.

Qu Linhan grabbed Li Meng who was about to rush in, curled his mouth in warning, stepped forward, bowed respectfully to the man, smiled all over his face, grabbed his hand, and stuffed a bank note .

The man took advantage of the light to take a look, and his tense face relaxed.

"Okay, let your brother take a look, and leave after reading it, keep your hands and feet clean."

Li Meng didn't hear it, and saw the man reluctantly making a "please" gesture, and quickly followed him in.Row upon row of houses flashed into my eyes. The five-entry mansion drew a stream of running water and directly poured it into a large pond in the backyard. There were many turtles in the pond. The sky was dark and the tortoises were hiding under the water.

"Go slowly!" Qu Linhan calmly grabbed Li Meng's arm and said in a low voice.

"There is a tall persimmon tree in the innermost yard. I buried a piece of tortoise shell under the big rock behind it." Although Li Meng lowered his voice, he couldn't hide his excitement.
