Vicissitudes know Jinhua

Qi Shaochong could hear it clearly in the car. Although he had expected it earlier, he felt a little cold in his heart. It seems that King Fengjing really did what Mu Zishi guessed. Dong Liang is unshakable, as for whether it is Qi Hefeng or Qi Yupei who is on the throne, he is the second uncle guarding the frontier fortress, and they are close relatives.

Qi Wushang led a small group of cavalry and galloped away. His rapid speed should have made him feel like a fish in water, but for some reason, at this moment, a sense of loss rose in his heart. He took off the reins and was speechless.

The lieutenant who followed behind asked: "His Royal Highness, do you want to rest for a while?"

Qi Wushang shook his head, took two sips of the water bag on one side, he is the most agile and decisive, since he couldn't grasp the origin of the strange emotion, he simply put it behind him and said: "It's nothing, Ma I just ate dry food two hours ago, and I can still run for a while, let's rest in the middle of the night!"

The night wind was blowing like knives, Qi Wushang led dozens of cavalry and drove away, not knowing that he and Mu Zishi were only separated by a thin car wall, but they missed it.

Kuang Wusheng was rough but meticulous in his work. He first pulled out the belts of Chai Baye and others, and tied them up carefully like three pigs waiting to be slaughtered with the vicious method of binding prisoners. Then he jumped into the carriage and cut them off Bu Suo, who restrained Qi Shaochong's siblings, thoughtfully ignored Mu Zishi's half-naked body.

Qi Shaochong didn't care about the numbness of his hands and feet, he stumbled to Mu Zishi's side, and said with tears in his eyes, "How are you doing?"

Mu Zishi's face was as white as snow, but his expression remained the same. He said in a low voice, "Untie my rope."

Qi Shao rushed to untie it, but the knot was very complicated and firm, and his hands were numb and numb, so anxious that tears fell down.

Seeing this, Kuang Wu couldn't bear it, so he gently pulled him away, and said to Mu Zishi: "I have been serving King Fengjing for ten years, and my sword skills are very good, don't move around!"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but draw out the knife and swish it down, making two swishing sounds, as expected, no hair was injured and the cloth was cut off.

Kuang Wu put the saber back into its sheath, jumped out of the car in a hurry, but kicked Baye Chai hard.

Hearing Chai Baye's screams, Mu Zishi straightened his clothes, and suddenly laughed softly, Qi Shaochong was shocked: "You...what are you laughing at?"

Muzi Shitou's hair was disheveled, wet with cold sweat, and there was a black strand sticking to his cheek, which made his face look a bit more stern. He leaned close to Qi Shao Chong's ear, and said in a low voice but firmly: "I want to kill you!" The three of them."

Qi Shao gnashed his teeth and said: "Chai Ba dares to insult you, he should be hacked into pieces!"

Mu Zishi shook his head: "It's a small matter for him to insult me...our identities and whereabouts must not be revealed."

Qi Shaochong was startled, and saw through the half-rolled car curtain, the honest-looking coachman outside was curled up on the ground, kowtowed to Kuang Wu, trembling and crying, begging: "The villain never dares to do evil things that hurt the nature and reason." , but what is Ba Ye going to do? The young one is just a servant driving a car, how dare he stop him? The young one has a 70-year-old blind father and a three-year-old motherless child in his family. Adults can beat or scold them, please do Don't send me to the police, if I go to prison, my father and child will not be able to survive..."

Qi Shaochong hesitated a little, and said, "The coachman dare not say anything."

Mu Zishi snorted coldly: "Don't dare? Why don't you dare? How can we make him dare not? We can't make him afraid of the jaws, and we have no kindness or virtue to him. If we leave, his mouth will It's blowing in all directions!"

Qi Shaochong knew in his heart that what Mu Zishi said was true, so although he looked at the driver very pitifully, his lips moved, but he had nothing to persuade him.

Mu Zishi ignored him, slowly walked out of the car with lowered eyelashes, knelt down and saluted Kuang Wu upright: "Brothers from the Mu family thank you, General! If you can keep it in your heart, if you have a chance in the future, you will definitely make a grass ring to repay your lord."

Kuang Wu hurriedly raised his hands: "Our son saved me, don't thank me! Besides, I'm not a general, just a captain..."

Mu Zishi already knew his military rank from the brass wolf-shaped pendant on his waist, calling him a general just pretending to be ignorant of the Yongliang military system, but listening to his answer, it is obvious that this man is sincere, He didn't make any fuss at the moment, and said bluntly: "Lord Captain, you have to catch up with His Royal Highness overnight, our brothers can't delay your trip... The thieves have already been arrested, we just need to wait until someone passes by the official road tomorrow, and then we can send them off." Hand it over to the nearby government office for punishment, so I won't bother you to accompany me here."

The rush from Yongliang to Chenjing made even a hard-working man feel quite tired. Kuang Wu fell down now, so he had to catch up with Qi Wushang and the others when they were resting. The suggestion was right on target, Kuang Wu clasped his fists together and said with a smile: "Little brother, you really understand the hard work of a marcher, Kuang Wu thank you for your kindness!"

But after looking at Chai Ba and the others, Kuang Wu felt uneasy again, and said: "You brothers are still young. If they break free from the rope after I leave, wouldn't it be impossible to save people, and instead hurt you even more? No, no, I I have to watch over you overnight."

Mu Zishi said: "My lord, you just need to help move them into the car, I will care about it myself."

Kuang Wu was a little curious, but he didn't know what tricks this half-grown boy who always bowed his head could have.

He was born with supernatural power, one in each hand, went back and forth twice, and threw all three of them back into the car. When Mu Zishi climbed into the car, he wobbled and fell back, but it was because he was tortured too hard just now. She was already exhausted, but fortunately Kuang Wu supported her from behind and put her on the couch in the car.

Mu Zishi took a look inside the car, and saw that the furnishings were quite exquisite, every couch and table were carved with black lacquer, and a thick silk quilt was folded on the couch, so he leaned on the quilt to relax, Fang brought up the spirit of speaking.

Seeing that he was so weak, Qi Shaochong couldn't help feeling anxious and worried, and just watched him in a daze.

Mu Zishi said softly: "Don't just stand there stupidly, first gag their mouths."

Qi Shaochong agreed, found the cloth group that blocked himself and Mu Zishi just now, first stuffed the coachman, and then Ah Xiong, Baye Chai was surprised and happy when he saw that he was merciful to his extra men, and hurriedly reciprocated. Said: "You are holy, I will never dare to talk nonsense!"

Without saying a word, Qi Shaochong quickly took off Ah Xiong's thick-soled cotton boots, took off his double-layer fine cloth socks, rolled them into a ball the size of a vinegar bowl, and stuffed it into Chai Baye's mouth forcefully. Simple and rude, it made Baye Chai roll his eyes, the corners of his mouth were torn, and he was bleeding.

Mu Zishi looked at it with great joy, and couldn't help but praise: "Shao Chong, you have practiced very well!"

Seeing that Kuang Wu was still standing outside the car, like a tall wall, he felt grateful, and said, "My lord, you have sent the Buddha to the west to save people to the end, let's say goodbye and see you tomorrow!"

Kuang Wu saw that Qi Shaochong's behavior was by no means a weak young man, and he was a little relieved, but asked, "Do you have weapons to defend yourself?"

Mu Zishi said casually: "Our brothers are just ordinary people who go to join distant relatives. How could we think of bringing weapons...My lord, have you ever brought an extra knife with you?"

Qi Wushang once told him that the soldiers in the Yongliang Army, apart from a saber, should not leave their bodies for a while, they also carry a light, short and sharp boning knife for emergencies, such as survival in the wild and sudden confrontation with the enemy, etc. Sure enough, when Kuang Wu heard this, without hesitation, he took out the boning knife from his riding boots: "Leave it to you!"

Mu Zishi glanced at the two parcels in the corner, saw that the knots of the parcels had been untied, and felt guilty for a moment, for fear that the straightforward man would see the dagger that Qi Wushang gave him inside, and hurriedly said: "Thank you sir! With your saber, you will have the protection of His Royal Highness, and you will no longer be afraid of these villains."

The words were pleasing, Kuang Wu laughed and leaned in, as if he wanted to pat Mu Zishi, but he caught sight of his moist lips and eyes, his breathing was slightly stagnant for some reason, and his big hand turned to pat Qi Shaochong Shoulder: "Be careful on the road ahead. If you still remember Lao Kuang when you get home safely, you might as well send a letter to Yongliang, so that we can feel at ease."

Qi Shaochong didn't like to lie, but Mu Zishi said with a smile: "It should be like this. In a few years, maybe our brothers will go to Yongliang to visit His Royal Highness and Your Excellency."

Kuang Wu got on his horse and waved goodbye to them. Mu Zishi saw him dressed up in the night and his figure was like a mountain. He suddenly remembered the scene when Qi Wushang saved someone with an arrow and the robber seemed to carry him out of the carriage. His eyes widened. hot.

Qi Shaochong heard the sound of Kuang Wuzhong's horse's hooves going away, pointed to the scattered packages in the corner, and asked in a low voice: "Don't you have a knife? Why do you want Captain Kuang's?"

Mu Zishi said: "My knife looks extraordinary at first glance. Does he have to be suspicious when he sees it... If you don't send him away quickly, it will be a hindrance if you keep it."

Qi Shaochong looked at the golden knife, and suddenly said: "Zi Shi, although the second uncle is still uninjured and did not lead the army to Beijing to help his father, but I don't hate them at all, on the contrary, I am a little grateful."

Mu Zishi asked whether he believed it or not: "Really?"

Qi Shaochong said very seriously: "Although the Yongliang cavalry is unstoppable, the Tao family also has heavy troops in their hands. If war breaks out, it will be the people of Daning who will suffer. If one of the people left everything behind, the king of the country would become a tree without roots? Although the Yongliang family did not help the father, they kept the vitality of Daning and did not hurt the country or shake it."

He talked eloquently and broad-mindedly, like the balance of a balance and the clarity of a mirror.

Mu Zishi raised his eyes, stared at Qi Shaochong for a while as if he had just met him, and said, "No wonder."

Qi Shaochong said: "No wonder what?"

Mu Zishi said lightly: "No wonder fourth brother said you are good."

While talking, he changed the subject and said, "Take out all the cotton coats in our package, and ask him again..." Pointing to Ba Ye Chai: "Where are all the gold and silver?"

Qi Shaochong couldn't react: "Ah?"

"Ah what? Do you have a toothache?" Mu Zishi sneered unceremoniously, "I have a use for their gold and silver."

Qi Shaochong was studious and never tired of asking questions. He felt that this matter should not be ambiguous. Even if he was no longer an aristocrat of the Tian family, he could not degenerate into a bandit. He insisted: "We still have silver taels."

Mu Zishi didn't want to quarrel with him, so he sighed and said, "Don't you understand? We've all been wrong these days."

Qi Shaochong was confused: "What's wrong?"

"We kept thinking about how to disappear from the crowd without showing our tracks, but we forgot that the folks are also divided into different classes. What did the shopkeeper of the inn where we stayed a while ago say? The eyes of most people in this world are as different as steel. The eyes on the needle's buttocks are almost the same, they only recognize the clothes but not the people. Although we dress up like this, it will not be suspicious, but it will cause a lot of trouble. Cats, dogs, and four are not afraid of arbitrary bullying. How can a slave like Chai Ba dare to rob you in the street?"

Without bothering Qi Shaochong while speaking, he went to the bed by himself and kicked Baye Chai: "Where do you put your luggage and money? Tell me!"

Although Baye Chai was a pig's head on the chopping board, he still wanted to make some moths, so he immediately signaled that he wanted Mu Zishi to take out the stinky socks from his mouth first.

Mu Zishi was unmoved, and said softly: "Can't your eyeballs turn? If it's useless, it's better to dig it out."

Looking around, I found a purple bamboo that was more than a foot long on the desk. I thought that Chai Ba would not forget his comfort when going out, so he even took this with him. Grandpa's left eye, slowly and forcefully poked it down.

He looked serious and focused, meticulous, calm and calm, just like practicing calligraphy and books when he was young, Qi Shaochong looked at him, and felt a chill in his heart.

But Baye Chai's whole body was limp, his right eye was wide open, and he desperately looked at a hollow rattan box under the couch. Qi Shao hurriedly stepped forward, pulled out the box and opened it, and there were two indigo-leathered bundles, When it was opened again, it was full of gold and silver.

Mu Zishi glanced sideways, but the bamboo handle was still on Chai Baye's eyelids: "As the saying goes, it's hard to go out after a thousand days at home, and it's also said that rich children always carry more gold and less silver when they go out. Hidden jewels, did Ba Ye ever bring some jewels? It's best to show us to open our eyes."

Qi Shaochong squatted and looked up at Mu Zishi, not knowing whether to admire or be afraid, Mu Zishi said these few words like a robber possessed for many years, thinking that he was also an accomplice, he couldn't help feeling a little ashamed.

Baye Chai's eyelids were in severe pain, his intestines were green with regret, and his throat was screaming, the place where the jewels were hidden was very hidden, how could he tell clearly with just his eyes?

Mu Zishi looked at the pleading look in his right eye, but he felt as if he had just woken up from a dream, and said leisurely: "I understand, Ba Ye is a staunch man who wants money but not life, very good, very good!"

With a strong wrist, the purple bamboo handle was deeply squeezed into the eye socket, and the muffled sound made the scalp tingle, black, black, red, and purple, and the thick flow flowed down half of the face.

Baye Chai was in so much pain that his right eyeball went straight into his eyelid, and he passed out with a scream held in his throat.
