Ding Zhou Ji

Early the next morning, Xiao Yimo came to Shopkeeper Liu's residence, wanting to ask her about the Blood Flame Talisman.Judging by shopkeeper Liu's expression yesterday, she must know something.

However, the servants here told Xiao Yimo that shopkeeper Liu had left, and Tenglian Pavilion would soon have a new shopkeeper.As for why Shopkeeper Liu left and where he went, no one knows.

On the way back to Yayuan with doubts and frustration, Xiao Yimo met Yin Fuque, and was asked right away: "I was looking for you, why did you disappear so early in the morning?"

Xiao Yimo glanced at him sullenly: "What's your business in looking for me early in the morning?"

Yin Fuque looked her up and down in surprise: "Why are you so angry so early in the morning?"

Xiao Yimo was immediately annoyed by it: "...Are you finished early in the morning?" After a pause, he asked again: "By the way, why did Shopkeeper Liu suddenly leave? When will she come back?"

Yin Fuque was a little surprised by her sudden question, hesitated for a moment and said: "She... went to another branch to be the big shopkeeper, and she probably won't be back in a short time. Do you have anything to do with her? "

"Oh...forget it, I...it's nothing serious anyway...".

Seeing that Xiao Yimo's mood was very low because of Shopkeeper Liu, Yin Fuque suggested going for a walk to distract her.

In the early morning of early spring, although it is chilly, it is also refreshing.

The two wandered around, and unknowingly came to the vicinity of a craftsman's workshop.

This artisan workshop is a place in the city that specializes in making weapons.The periphery of the working area is where the craftsmen and their families live.The craftsmen here are nominally working for the government.In fact, the whole family became official slaves from the day they were forcibly confiscated.Without the permission of the supervisor.No one is allowed to leave the range of the craftsman's workshop without authorization.You can only work hard day after day.Until he died of illness and exhaustion.

And in fact.Since it was ruled by Shuijian Kingdom.Most of the artisans of all kinds in Dingzhou have been forcibly moved to the artisan workshops in various states and counties to work intensively.In order to contain the forces of armed rebels.Governments in various places have extremely strict control over the craftsmen who make weapons.

At this moment, Xiao Yimo happened to see a skinny child in ragged clothes not far from the square.Struggling to carry a large basket on his back and build a block almost as tall as him.He walked over quickly to help.

Unexpectedly, she just took a step.I heard a shout: "Little bastard. What a waste!".Immediately afterwards, a short and fat man in a leather jacket kicked the big basket violently from behind.After hearing only a sound of metal falling to the ground.The child was completely crushed under the pile of iron blocks.I didn't even have time to hum.

Xiao Yimo was shocked.One jumped to the side of the iron pile.But I only saw two bare feet that were covered with scars and muddy ground, sticking out and motionless.And the dust on the ground next to it was slowly flowing along with the blood oozing from under the iron pile.

Xiao Yimo stood on the spot in a daze watching such a tragic situation.

At this time, an old woman stumbled out of a nearby shack, knelt silently beside the iron pile, and removed the iron pieces from the child's body one by one.At the same time, an old man rushed out of the shack with a file in his hand, and rushed straight at the short and fat man who stood aside with his arms folded.

Hearing a scream, the short and fat man clutched his throat and fell to the ground, twitched twice and then lost his breath, and only a small piece of the handle of the file was exposed at his throat.After the old man killed the man, he also knelt down beside the old woman.

The whole incident happened almost in the blink of an eye, and the old man and the old woman did not say a word from the beginning to the end.

The man's screams before he died attracted dozens of guards here, who immediately wanted to arrest the two old men when they saw this.Xiao Yimo said to the group of armored men: "He was the one who hurt the child's life without explaining it first, and he deserves to die!"

Seeing Xiao Yimo's noble aura, everyone didn't dare to be too unreasonable. A man with the appearance of a leader said: "He is the owner of the workshop here. Isn't killing a pariah from the Dingzhou country like trampling an ant to death? Quickly move!" Come on, let's kill these two old bastards alive so we can go to the top to do business!".

Xiao Yimo's heart suddenly became angry, and he said coldly: "I want to see how you catch this old man!"

When the guards were about to rush forward, the old man and the old woman suddenly shouted loudly: "When will my Dingzhou Kingdom be restored?!" The old and mournful voice seemed to go straight to the clouds and reach the nine heavens.

Xiao Yimo hurriedly turned his head, but saw that the iron pile had been moved away, and two old people were lying sideways beside the child, stretching out their arms to protect the child tightly in the middle.And the blood gurgling out of the big hole on their heads smashed by the iron block was merging with the child's blood into a thicker and longer blood line.

Xiao Yimo looked at the three equally ragged and thin corpses on the ground, and felt a flame burning in his chest.She suddenly turned around, and when she faced the group of guards, there was a strong murderous intent on her usually peaceful and carefree face.

"What's the matter?" At this moment, a lazy question came from outside the workshop.All the guards immediately bowed their heads and clasped their fists to the source of the sound and said in unison: "See Prince Yi!".

I saw a young man in his twenties, dressed in fancy clothes, who looked like a handsome young man, walking slowly over with a birdcage.

"Tsk tsk...why are there so many dead people this early in the morning?"

The guard who looked like the leader hurried forward to report the incident in a low voice.

"Oh... so that's how it is." He rubbed his chin for a while, then said, "Isn't that the end of the matter? The damned and not damned are all dead, what are you still doing here? Hurry up Quick, clean up everything for me! It’s early in the morning, what a bad luck! Don’t startle my precious bird!”.

Then his eyes widened as if he just saw Xiao Yimo: "Yo ho! So there is such a beautiful girl!"

Then he shook his head regretfully: "Why does it look like someone owed her a lot of money and hasn't paid it back? It's such a pity with such a face!" After all, Xiao Yimo was turning from stunned to furious, and shook his head again. Walk out slowly.

When he walked to the three-step distance away from Xiao Yimo and silently looked at Yin Fuque, the man stopped for a moment, tilted his head to look at Yin Fuque carefully, and then continued to be stable. He walked slowly.

Xiao Yimo, who was dragged all the way from the artisan workshop to the moat by Yin Fuque, finally couldn't take it anymore: "Can you let go?"

Yin Fuque looked back at Xiao Yimo's angry face, and finally let go of her wrist.

He sighed helplessly: "It was the guy walking the bird who offended you, not me."

Xiao Yimo said angrily: "You know I'm not doing it for this!"

Yin Fuque turned his head to look at the calm river, and said calmly: "They are very lucky to avenge their grandson with their own hands before they die."

"So you don't have to save them? You can stand aside and watch with peace of mind.

Did you watch them die? You can obviously save the second elder!"

"There is nothing to love in life, and nothing to regret in death."

The exhaustion and desolation in Yin Fuque's voice made Xiao Yimo stunned for a moment, but she still insisted: "No one has the right to decide anyone's life or death, including myself."

Yin Fuque heard the words, turned his head and looked at her deeply, with a trace of unbearable and compassion in his eyes, after hesitating for a moment, he finally asked: "But, didn't you almost kill those guards just now? So, should their lives be decided by you to end?"

Xiao Yimo was stunned for a moment, and she suddenly remembered that at that moment, the burning feeling in her heart that she had never felt before, seemed to be calmed only by killing and destroying.

If it wasn't for that young master who happened to appear...

Yin Fuque said slowly: "Actually, your anger is not because of the death of that child and those two old people, but because their lives and dignity have been trampled on so wantonly, right?"

Xiao Yimo nodded hesitantly.

"People like them, who are not even as good as ants, are now called pariahs by the people of Shuijian, but they were called people of Dingzhou 20 years ago. No one likes death, but the premise must be to be able to live like a person .”

Xiao Yimo bowed his head and thought for a moment: "I think... I probably understand what you mean."

Yin Fuque smiled faintly: "Don't worry, take your time. You need time to understand what restoring the country is."

"Then...how long have you used it?"

"I... I'm so much smarter than you, so I'm sure it won't last as long as you."

Xiao Yimo looked at Yin Fuque's always indifferent but seemingly hidden bitter smile, and suddenly wanted to know what this person has experienced in the past 20 years.

"Hey... not all the royal families were... then how did you escape? Where did you go after you escaped?"

Yin Fuque raised his eyebrows: "Huh? Start asking about my past... Could it be that you treat me...".

Seeing his smirk, Xiao Yimo suddenly recalled: "Bah!".

At this time, a lazy voice suddenly came out from the side, "Hey! Are you paying back all the money owed to you so soon?".Xiao Yimo followed the sound and turned his head to look at it, and immediately became angry, and saw that the son who had appeared in the workshop just now was walking slowly

come over.

"Huh? Why did this face change back when I saw me? Could it be that I didn't pay you the money? No way, I've only been here for a few days, and I haven't bothered to owe money to others. Since I didn't owe any money, how could I not pay you the money I owe you..."

Xiao Yimo has already lost all anger due to his series of monologues and self-questions and self-answers, only dumbfounded.On the other hand, Yin Fuque put on a look of watching the show, and was overjoyed to watch it.

The young master turned to Yin Fuque with a smile and said, "Your Excellency is very skilled."

Yin Fuque smiled even more: "How can it compare to Lord Yi's good eyesight!"

"It's easy to talk about."

"each other each other".

The two of them were busy fighting with each other, having a great time, but Xiao Yimo was at a loss to hear: "You two

Is this a charade now?"

The son immediately raised his eyebrows and stared in surprise, even a little exaggerated: "Yo! You don't know?"

Xiao Yimo became more and more confused: "...know what?"

"He used small stones to fix the acupoints of the Fangzhu!"

Only then did Xiao Yimo suddenly realize, no wonder the sickly old man could easily kill that ferocious man in leather with a small file.

It turned out that it was Yin Fuque, who had been standing silently by the side all this time, tampering with it calmly, but just now he still...

The son looked at Xiao Yimo and Yin Fuque with a half-smile, and laughed while holding up the birdcage in his hand: "It's not too early, it's not too early, go back and feed the birds! There will be a period later."

Yin Fuque finally suppressed that playful smile at this moment, and replied seriously: "There will be a time later."

The son also corrected his expression and said again word by word: "There will be a period later."

The two of them looked like they were making some important promise.
