I started a boy band in ancient times

Chu Qi is not unfamiliar with this system prompt. He heard it once when he accidentally chatted with Lan Ningbing about "Yin-Yang Order". However, what I didn't expect was that this time it was drawn from Ming Yao's words.

The theory that there is a treasure in a certain place that can change the world, at first it was Lan Ningbing's guess that the treasure of the ancient country was hidden in Nanmu, and then Mingyao said that it was hidden in Nanmu. It's just that Chu Qi didn't understand how this matter had anything to do with the Empress Dowager.

Although the life of the Empress Dowager can be regarded as a legend, her life trajectory is quite clear. She was the daughter of a wealthy family in the previous dynasty, and became the head of the family after becoming the stepmother of the first emperor. After entering the palace, she stayed in the palace all the time. There is no special and blank time, but I don't know how she knows these secrets.

Chu Qi himself couldn't figure it out, so he asked Mingyao, "Do you know what she means by what she said?"

Mingyao bit his lower lip and shook his head: "A few words that I could understand at first, but when combined together, I couldn't understand. At that time, I wanted to ask Grandma Huang back, but she just asked me to memorize it, don't say anything, especially don't Speak to Your Majesty."

Chu Qi observed his expression and saw that it was true, so he pondered deeply and said: "There are two kinds of magical weapons hidden in Nanmu territory. I have heard similar rumors at Lan Ningbing's place. Since it is always said that it can win the world, It’s all come to this point, this trip has to go.”

Although I still only have a little understanding of the second half of Mingyao's sentence - what kind of power is the power of the sun and the sun, and where do we gather the "six major" yin and yang blood?Where does the so-called end of troubled times come from? ——But since it is confirmed that this matter is inextricably linked with his follow-up mission, then we must take advantage of this opportunity to go to Nanmu to search for it.

Many doubts flashed through his mind, Chu Qi rubbed the center of his brows, had no choice but to press the matter temporarily, raised his eyes a little impatiently, Mingyao shivered like a conditioned reflex.

"..."

Seeing that he should be honest and obedient this time, Chu Qi waved his hand to signal him to go aside.

The big boat is swaying, and the sound of the water is clear in the ears. If you lean on the railing and window, you can see the distant mountains and green plants on the shore.

Chu Qi looked at the other two.

Ling Feidu didn't change much, he subconsciously stood sideways and stood in the most inconspicuous corner, his eyes were always calm; however, Biwu looked a lot haggard, and his expression was absent-minded, perhaps also thinking about people in the distance.

"Worried?" Chu Qi asked him.

Biwu gradually came back to his senses: "...um."

"Aren't you willing to come?"

"No, I will only get in the way if I stay in the palace, and I may have a chance to protect my benefactor when I accompany you." Biwu shook his head and said, "It's just... I know what kind of vicious person Cheng Qiushi is. ...and Xi Wan's recent situation, and the safety of my brother..."

Chu Qi forced a smile: "The wise choose their strategy, the fool choose their strength, the brave choose their prestige, and the timid choose their prudence. I believe that even if it is an evil person, His Majesty can use it with ease." Isn't he talking to himself.

"As for other... Biwu, although I can't guarantee you completely, I believe that what we are going to do in Nanmu is meaningful, and it is very likely to help your brother and subjects in the dark."

It was clearly the capital city that was forced to stay away, and Nanmu who drifted downstream, but Chu Qi found and planned a new direction in a very short time after accepting this reality, and even began to think about what to look for after Nanmu. He is like the most important backbone in the team. He calmly comforts the sad, gathers the frustrated, and turns everything to hope.

Biwu nodded slightly, and showed a pale smile: "I'm fine, if benefactor needs me, please tell me."

Chu Qi responded, and rubbed his low head. Feeling that the hand felt good, he raised the corners of his mouth again, and then slowly turned his gaze to Ling Feidu.

Ling Feidu stood with downcast eyes, quietly.

Chu Qi sighed slightly in his heart. Except for Biwu who was undefended, the five members of the men's team almost had their own difficulties. Among them, Ling Feidu might have to add the word "most".

After all, no matter how true or false the sweet talk is, it can't compare to a silence.

"And you, is there anything you want to explain?"

He and Ling Feidu have known each other for many years, and he thought that he knew the basics, but Chu Qi only realized a while ago that Ling Feidu's secret might be hidden deeper.

Ling Feidu didn't think about it: "No."

"King Jing has passed away, and you have taken revenge. What's more, now that you are far away from the palace, if you don't want to continue to be Qingli Guard, I will never stop you."

Ling Feidu's eyes flickered: "Family feud and subordinate's loyalty are not contradictory, and this subordinate does not want to leave."

"Family feud?" Chu Qi read these two words lightly, "Are you an orphan of the former royal family?"

It wasn't just at this moment that he became suspicious. He had already guessed seven or eight times when he asked Lan Ningbing for confirmation. It was only when he saw Ling Feidu, who was paralyzed for ten thousand years, also showing a trace of nervousness at this moment, that he was convinced that this matter The thing was really hit by what I said.

"Some descendants of the former royal family fled to Qianbo Island, but they were later captured by people who respected the king. Because of this, you don't like Lan Ningbing very much."

"So he recognized it." Ling Feidu quickly restrained his emotions, "This subordinate thought that he should have no impression."

Lan Ningbing really didn't notice it at all. If it wasn't for Chu Qi's fourth-level observation skill to discover something strange, Ling Feidu would never have known about it.

But Chu Qi didn't explain much, and acquiesced in this statement: "He didn't tell me the details, what about you? Would you like to talk about it?"

Ling Feidu fell into silence again, and just when Chu Qi thought he was going to deal with everything without words again, Ling Feidu let out a breath.

"The year I was born was the first year of Yuan Xing. Chengtai Zu captured the old land of Ji State to the south of Jingyi, only a small part of the north is still stubbornly resisting, but it is obvious that it is neither popular nor supportive. Before long, they will be my father's subordinates."

"My father was low in rank, young, and a concubine. In the end, he was only entrusted to the county king, and the fief was only a barren and chaotic piece of land. But it was also because of this that he lived to the age where he could have children."

Chu Qi had heard about this matter. The last emperor of the previous dynasty was fatuous and immoral. Not only was he tyrannical and tyrannical, he even brought disasters to his relatives. It was rumored that the emperor's seat was won by killing his father and brother, so he didn't conform to the people's will.

"He knew that it was impossible to escape, but he always wanted to win some chance. Fortunately, one of his subordinates had a boatman who had been at the helm for many years, so he let several concubines and their children take the waterway, and took tokens, and drifted all the way to Qianbo Island. It's one of them. I've been there for ten years, after all."

"Lady Lan treats you badly?"

Ling Feidu said indifferently: "The few people I waited for were a burden that could cause disaster. If compared with ordinary children, the treatment is naturally not good; but if it is compared with the situation of narrow escape from death during the training of Qingli Guards in the future , those days are nothing."

Although Chu Qi heard him speak lightly, it was obvious that the time in Qianbo Island was not going well, otherwise Lan Ningbing would not be unhappy, but after all, he only wanted to hide this kind of past in his heart, so he didn't want to ask too much.

"When King Jing found us, I thought we would die. But he was very strange. He didn't kill us directly, but took us to training, with blood on our hands, as killers, missions, and even taught 'loyalty' It's important." Ling Feidu said again, with a mocking smile in his tone for the first time, "I have always been the one who has done the best, and was even assigned to the prince later, but it is a pity that my other brothers did not One lasted for half a month."

"Your state of mind... is extremely powerful."

Ling Feidu shook his head slightly, as if he wanted to deny it, but he just said in a low voice: "I am born with five senses, and I almost have a photographic memory. Other than that, I am nothing more than an ordinary person. The so-called state of mind...resentment, anger, sullenness, and fear are nothing but After being hidden under a mask for a long time, how can it disappear without a trace?"

Because of this, when he was ordered to cut off King Jing's head, his chest was almost filled with emotions that had been suppressed for more than ten years. Even though his hands were still steady and his movements were still fast, at that moment the killing intent surged, and he raised his knife Zhan Luo didn't even have time to confirm Chu Jingzhong's breathing, life and death.

"So..." Ling Feidu paused, "The question now is not whether I want to stay, but whether the master still wants subordinates."

Chu Qi took a deep look at him, suddenly smiled, and then took Mingyao's and Biwu's hands, overlapping them.

"Put your right hand up." Chu Qi asked him to do this, and finally slowly covered his own hand on it.

Chu Qi looked at them, and said solemnly and gently: "We are a close group and good friends. Never betray, this is an oath."

……

Seven days later, the canal finally reached its end point. Chu Qi and his party changed their carriages and took the official road all the way south.The original plan was to arrive at the border within ten days, but Mingyao and his sister couldn't ride horses, and their physiques were weaker than the others. They couldn't support the long journey, so their speed slowed down.

After another half month, Chu Qi and his party entered Fuzhou.Fuzhou is the southernmost area of ​​Chengguo, adjacent to Nanmu, and ruled by the river. The customs and customs have always been simple and simple. In addition to the local governor, there is also a special Zhennan General's Mansion to govern the southern military.

Chu Qi had lived in Southland for nearly six years and was familiar with several towns in Fuzhou. He thought that he would never come down again after returning to Beijing, but he did not expect to come back here after only half a year. There are many, and there are characters that I would never think of. After thinking about it, I feel quite complicated.

At the beginning, because he was in a hurry, the courtyard he lived in did not have time to sell. For the sake of safety and convenience, Chu Qi decided to go back there for a few nights, firstly to rest, and secondly, to prepare the things he needed to go to Nanmu.

No one had any objections. In order to save time, Ling Feidu, Duan Zhishen, and Biwu went to the market to buy some necessary supplies, while Chu Qi took the Mingyao siblings back to the original courtyard to collect. clean up.

However, when Chu Qi drove the carriage to the courtyard, his pupils suddenly constricted and he tightened the reins.Suddenly there was no sound around, even the wind disappeared without a trace, the faint smell of blood lingered to the tip of the nose, and the atmosphere dropped to freezing point in an instant.

He stared at the empty courtyard and the black shadow behind the inner door, and said coldly: "I wonder which friend went to the wrong place? This place is my home, and there is a price to pay for doves occupying the magpie's nest."

After an unknown period of silence, just as Chu Qi was about to draw out his weapon, a person slowly walked out of the door.

an acquaintance.

"My son?" Wu Zhaolun coughed hoarsely.
