Dianxia Qingcheng

Facing the dim moonlight, Shen Jiu could see the person in front of him clearly.

"Pei, Lord Pei..."

With a look of shock, he tightly grasped one of Pei Zheng's sleeves, and carefully glanced behind Pei Zheng.

"Just, are you alone... There is nothing else behind..."

"what?"

Pei Zheng was puzzled, and turned his head to look at him.

There was nothing behind the two of them, only the afterglow cast by the moonlight.

Shen Jiujiu looked sincere, and whispered, "That's right, Master said, you must be careful when you go out at night, and you must not talk to him when you meet someone you don't know, because..."

Shen Jiujiu's eyes widened, and he bared his teeth at Pei Zheng, "He may not be human at all... Ahh..."

Pei Zheng looked at the person in front of him who wanted to scare him, his face was expressionless, and he frowned slightly, "Don't play tricks."

Shen Jiujiu said eagerly, "It's true! Master won't lie to me! Why don't you believe it!"

Those eyes looked so sincere and innocent, it should be very easy for people to believe his words.

But Pei Zheng took a step closer and suddenly raised his hand.

Shen Nineteen subconsciously hid back.

Those slender fingers just nodded Shen Shijiu's little head.

"Do you have a problem here?"

After hearing this, the expression on Shen Jiujiu's face changed, he pursed his mouth and refused to speak, and looked away.

Seeing his reaction, Pei Zheng came to a conclusion.

"It seems so."

"I'm not..." Shen Nineteen murmured angrily, "I'm very smart...smarter than many people...huh...you are all stupid

He was obviously thinking this secretly in his heart, but he said it directly, his cheeks puffed up.

Pei Zheng stared at his profile, dazed for a moment, and many memories flashed through his mind like a lantern, and he froze in place, unable to break free for a while.

"Master Pei, Mr. Pei... just ignore me, then I'll go back to sleep."

Shen Jiujiu called him several times but didn't get an answer, so he simply bowed to himself, turned around and was about to go back, but his arm was grabbed by the person behind him.

"Master Pei, I'm so sleepy, can you tell me something quickly?"

Shen Jiu yawned big, his eyes were clouded with water, and they were shining brightly.

Pei Zheng pulled him silently and walked in another direction.

Shen Jiu was dragged away in a daze. The hand that was holding his arm slowly slid down to his wrist. His cool fingers wrapped around his slender wrist and held it tightly.

Shen Jiujiu was at a loss, wondering if Pei Zheng had something to tell him, he was sleepy and hungry, and his stomach groaned twice.

He was so startled that he lost sleepiness, and pressed his other hand on his swollen stomach. Seeing that Pei Zheng's back was unresponsive, he secretly rejoiced.

Fortunately, the adults didn't hear it, otherwise it would be too shameful.

Pei Zheng pulled Shen Jiujiu all the way out of the gate of the prime minister's mansion, and came to the main street of the imperial capital.

Although it was already night, there were still many vendors and pedestrians doing business on the street, a bustling city that never sleeps.

From entering the palace to moving into the prime minister's mansion, Shen Jiujiu hadn't been on the street, met so many people, and smelled such fresh air for such a long time.

When the wind blew, it was still slightly cold, but Shen Jiu happily bent his crescent-like eyes.

"My lord, are we out to play?"

His tone was full of joy, and he looked at Pei Zheng without blinking his eyes.

"Turn your head away."

Pei Zheng's voice was cold.

Shen Jiujiu was full of doubts, but he still obediently turned his head away and stopped looking at Pei Zheng.

"is this OK……"

"Yeah." Pei Zheng took a breath.

He didn't know what was going on with him, he originally planned to go out to drink by himself tonight, but unexpectedly he took this little apprentice out of the house together.

"From now on, don't look at me."

Shen Jiu felt wronged, did he make the adults angry?But he has only met adults a few times, and he has treated adults, how can he turn his face when he turns his face?

"I see……"

Pei Zheng had already let go of Shen Jiujiu's wrist, and walked forward alone.

Shen Jiujiu was still standing there, he didn't know whether he should follow.

Pei Zheng walked a few steps away and found that there was no small figure following him. Turning his head, he saw Shen Jiujiu standing stupidly looking at him. As soon as his eyes met his own, he hurriedly turned his head away in a panic.

"Not coming yet?"

Shen Nineteen said "Oh", and then ran over with small steps.

Pei Zheng continued to walk along the busy street. He was tall and had long legs, one step was equal to Shen 19's two. Shen Jiu had to walk a few steps and run a few steps to follow behind.

After the meeting, Pei Zheng stopped in front of a bustling attic.

Shen Jiu also stopped, stood behind Pei Zheng, and looked up.

The attic is beautifully decorated, and the inside is bright and majestic. From time to time, there is a mixture of fragrance and laughter floating out of it, which is extremely fascinating.

The attic door was open, and many people could be seen coming and going inside.

Shen Jiu secretly sighed in his heart, there are so many people at such a late hour, Master should really learn from it, why is the business of other people's family so good, the medical clinic opened by Master has not yet opened.

Pei Zheng stepped in, and Shen Jiu quickly followed closely.

—Going in, a few beautiful little brothers in pink clothes appeared out of nowhere, and they wanted to come to Pei Zheng's side, but they were forced back by Pei Zheng's cold eyes.

At this time, a man in pink came over. He was a little surprised when he saw Pei Zheng by the door, and quickly put on a respectful smile.

His small attic was previously ordered to disappear in the imperial capital, and the officers and soldiers who came to drive people away inspected the door for a long time.

But when he really wanted to pack up his belongings and leave, those officers and soldiers withdrew again, saying that something happened to the adults above, and they no longer controlled the city affairs.

So not long after, the business of this small attic started again.

"Mr. Pei, why are you free to come here today, alone?"

Shen Jiu poked his head behind Pei Zheng at the right time, only showing his eyes to look at the man in pink.

The man smiled, "Oh, there is another young master, so Mr. Pei can arrange a private room?"

"No need." Pei Zheng glanced around the crowded lobby, saw an empty seat, and walked over directly.

Shen Jiujiu still followed closely like a follower. He had never been to this kind of place, and he was actually a little scared to be alone in an unfamiliar environment. After all, he had been living with his master in the mountains before, so it can be said that he had no experience.

Pei Zheng took a seat in the corner, and Shen Jiu stood at the side behind him, quietly the whole time.

Xiao Er skillfully served the jug of wine, Pei Zheng poured the wine alone, and then drank it with his head raised.

On the stage in the middle of the lobby, it seemed that someone was dancing, and many people in the audience were cheering and applauding.

Shen Jiujiu was so curious that he couldn't help but poke his head around to see, but was blocked by many people, so he couldn't see anything.

Seeing that Pei Zheng was still drinking one cup after another, Shen Jiu quietly moved to the side and tipped his toes to look.

Damn, he is still not tall enough to be seen at all.

He moved a little more, and a little more...

Moving and moving, I could finally see the platform in the center, and also saw the beautiful people dancing on it.

Shen Jiujiu also cheered and applauded along with the crowd, looking elated.

After watching the dance, Shen Jiu still wasn't satisfied. When he turned around and wanted to talk to Pei Zheng, he was suddenly dumbfounded. The person sitting in front of him was not Pei Zheng, but a fat man.

Shen Jiujiu wanted to bypass him and go back to his original position, but because of the crowd, he directly bumped into the sitting person.

The fat man gave him an angry look.

"What are you doing! Don't you have eyes when you walk!"

"Sorry, sorry, I didn't see it, someone squeezed me..."

"Still making excuses! The apology is not sincere at all. I think you probably did it on purpose!"

Shen Jiujiu shook his head while waving his hands, "I'm really not, I'm just looking for my son in a hurry..."

The fat man refused to let go, "Who is your young master? Tell him to come out and apologize to me in person. If you teach such an unruly servant, he must be a thing that can't stand on the stage."

"No!" Shen Jiu's voice became louder, "What you said is wrong, I apologize to you, you can't say that about my young master."

The people around were aware of the commotion here and looked over one after another.

"Hehe, you still dare to choke with me!" the fat man said, "I don't even go out to inquire, the number of people in this imperial capital who dare to talk to your fat master like that can be counted on one hand. Come on, louder I'll listen to one!"

People around also echoed:

"I'm afraid this boy won't be able to eat today and walk around."

"It's really courageous. Even the fat man dares to provoke him. His family is an official, rich and powerful, and he can walk sideways outside."

"Little boy, hurry up and kowtow to Fat Master, and beg Fat Master to spare you a lot."

"Kowtow, kowtow! Kowtow!"

Booing sounded one after another, and Shen Jiujiu stood among the crowd, feeling that countless pairs of eyes were looking at him, waiting for him to kneel and kowtow in public.

But although he is a little stupid, he also knows dignity and face. Not everyone can kneel casually. He is at fault for this matter, but it is far from the point of kneeling.

"I, I'll apologize to you again, I'm sorry, but I can't kneel down." Shen Jiu bit his lips, helpless amidst the noise.

Seeing that he was so stubborn, the fat man felt that he had lost face and was very angry. He stepped forward and grabbed his collar, and lifted his whole body to touch the ground with his toes.

"You little servant, where do you come from so bold? Your son hasn't come out to save you, is he already scared away? Hahaha

Shen Jiujiu pressed against his fist, feeling very frightened, he turned his head to look at the place where Pei Zheng was sitting.

The crowd made way to follow his gaze, but the table was empty.

Pei Zheng is not there anymore, has he really left him and gone away?

The corners of Shen Jiujiu's eyes became moist in an instant, and the support of his heart disappeared. Now he is alone, and so many people are forcing him, what should he do?

The fat man didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, the small body he held in his hand was very light, and his whole body didn't look like much flesh.

Seeing that he doesn't look very good, a pair of affectionate eyes are somewhat attractive.

Lifting his hands up again, Shen Jiujiu's feet were lifted off the ground. Shen Jiujiu could only hold his hands tightly to his chest to maintain his balance.

The fat man stretched out his leg and kicked Shen Jiujiu's calf suddenly, and then let go of his hand, Shen Jiujiu's body suddenly fell down.

The calf was numb from the kick, and it was extremely sore and soft. It was impossible to stand up for a while. If it touched the ground, it would definitely kneel down.

The crowd also cheered, looking like they were watching a good show.

Shen Jiujiu tightly closed his eyes, and tried his best to straighten his calves, but when his feet touched the ground, there was a sharp pain, and Shen Jiujiu's body was about to kneel uncontrollably. to the ground.

At this moment, a black shadow quickly flashed across the crowd beside him, and everyone didn't see what happened, but Shen Jiujiu was firmly supported by someone who was kneeling.

Shen Jiujiu was still standing unsteadily, the hands around his waist bore most of his body weight, and his small hands tightly grasped the clothes on the chest of the person in front of him.

Pei Zheng embraced him, walked to the stool next to him and sat down.

"Hey, who are you!"

The fat man was full of momentum, pointed at Pei Zheng's back and walked over, "I tell you, don't meddle in your own business!"

Before he finished speaking, Pei Zheng half turned around, raised his hand to hold the fat man's fingers and pushed back hard.

"Kacha" came a crisp bone cracking sound, and everyone around was shocked, tilting their heads to see who this bold person really was.

But Pei Zheng's face was always hidden in the dark, and his back was facing everyone, so most people could only see his unclear side profile.

But it can be seen that this person is handsome and handsome, and he is by no means an ordinary person.

The man in pink didn't come back in a hurry until now, when he heard Mr. Pei say that his servant was missing, he was frightened to death.

Last time Mr. Pei's people were missing from his chassis, and it took a lot of trouble to calm down. His small attic was almost not demolished, so he hurriedly sent people to look for it room by room in the front yard and back yard.

Unexpectedly, another accident happened in this lobby.

He sincerely hoped that Mr. Pei would stop patronizing his family's business, his poor life couldn't bear such threats.

The man in pink hurried over to check on Fat Master's situation, then dispersed the crowd and ordered Fat Master to be taken away.

"I'm not leaving! Ah! Take it easy!" The fat man stared at the person who was supporting him, his head was sweating from the pain, but he still wanted to save face.

"Let me tell you, since you dare to touch me today, you should consider the seriousness of the matter! Tomorrow I will ask my father to copy your whole family!"

The fat man yelled loudly.

The man in pink turned pale with fright, and hurried to see Pei Zheng.

Unexpectedly, Pei Zheng was holding the boy's calf, checking if he was injured, and his side face cast a gentle light. After hearing this, the corner of his mouth twitched into a smile.

What happened next, no one saw clearly how it happened.

I saw a black figure flashing in front of my eyes, and then the fat man knelt down on the ground with a wailing sound, and was pressed "bang bang bang" and kowtowed several times.

Pei Zheng squatted beside the fat man on his knees, holding his hair with his hands, his voice was extremely cold.

"Copy my whole family? Okay, then you have to remember..."

Pei Zheng leaned into his ear, word by word, "...My surname is Pei."

The fat man suddenly widened his eyes, he is not stupid, how could he not know how many people with the surname Pei in the entire imperial capital?

His head was still knocked on the ground, and his body was trembling and limp.

Pei Zheng flashed back to that dark place again, picked up Shen Jiu, who was obediently sitting there waiting for him, and disappeared from everyone's sight.

After leaving the small attic, Pei Zheng let go of his hand immediately, and Shen Jiu, who was still hanging on him, fell directly, and only managed to stand firmly on his toes.

Shen Jiu raised his eyes to look at Pei Zheng ignorantly, and then thought that Pei Zheng was not allowed to look at him, so he quickly moved his eyes away.

"My lord..." He knew that he had caused trouble, his voice was soft and soft, as if admitting his mistake.

"Hands loose."

Only then did Shen Jiu notice that his hands were still hooked around Pei Zheng's neck, no wonder he could only stand on tiptoe.

He immediately let go of his hand, stood up two steps away, and the numbness in his calf was almost gone.

"My lord... I, I was wrong..."

Pei Zheng folded his arms and stared at him coldly.

Shen Jiujiu glanced at him carefully, then quickly lowered his head, silently twiddling his fingers.

"I, I shouldn't leave your side, I shouldn't just look at the pretty little brother, I shouldn't cause trouble for you...I know I'm wrong..."

Pei Zheng still didn't speak. He looked at the lowered head of the person in front of him. In fact, his heart was very complicated. Looking back on what he did just now, he didn't know what kind of psychology he was out of.

This silly little apprentice always reminded him of the past, and immediately became uncontrollable.

Every time he saw him, another figure always appeared in front of his eyes, and then the two shadows gradually overlapped, which only made him lose his mind.

"...My master is a very good person. I remember everything she taught me. She said that a man has gold under his knees, and he doesn't steam buns to win. That's why I won't kneel down to that little fat man."

"Miss Master?" Pei Zheng asked suddenly.

Shen Jiujiu paused, then nodded lightly, "Thinking..."

"Let's go."

Pei Zheng walked a few steps first, "To see your master."

After hearing this, Shen Jiu raised his head and looked at his back, his face was full of joy, "Really? That's great! Go see Master!"

This time, Shen Jiu led the way and walked all the way to the medical center, but he always got lost, and finally found it after asking a lot of people.The door of the medical hall was closed, Shen Jiujiu ran over excitedly, knocked on the door a few times, as if giving a signal, whispered, "Master, master, master and apprentice are back." But the medical hall was quiet, no one answered.

Shen Jiujiu yelled many more times, but no one came to answer the door.

It seemed that there was no one in there at all.

"Impossible, Master said that he would wait for me in the medical center, where did Master go..."

Shen Jiujiu looked very disappointed, his eyes gradually turned red, as if he could cry in the next second.

At this time, the stomach growl of "Gulu Gulu" sounded very loud in the silence.

Shen Jiujiu was sad and a little embarrassed, his ears turned red slightly, and he was clutching his belly, about to drop a little pearl.

"Hungry?" Pei Zheng chuckled.

Shen Jiujiu nodded aggrievedly, "I slept in the afternoon and didn't eat at night..."

"What to eat?"

"Ah?" Shen Nineteen was a little surprised.

Pei Zheng raised his eyebrows, turned around and left without asking any more questions.

Shen Jiujiu wiped away his tears and hurriedly followed, "I want to eat, I want to eat noodles!"

Unexpectedly, Pei Zheng really condescended to sit in a noodle restaurant for the first time, and his clothes and temperament were incompatible with the small noodle restaurant.

Pei Zheng looked at Shen Jiujiu who was smiling happily in front of him, and felt that he might have lost his mind and went crazy.

Only then did Shen Jiu not notice Pei Zheng's thoughts. He ate three bowls of noodles in a row before stopping. His belly was so full that he burped.

"I'm stuffed."

Pei Zheng threw him a piece of silver, and Shen Jiujiu happily ran to pay the bill, but the owner of the noodle shop found all the money at the bottom of the box, and then changed the money.

When the two walked out of the noodle shop, Shen Shijiu ate a little too much and couldn't walk fast, and couldn't keep up with Pei Zheng's pace.

He bent down on the side of the road, trying to take a few breaths and catch up with all his might, only to see a little beggar crouching by the corner.

The little beggar seemed to be asleep, extremely unsteady, his clothes were torn, and there were several wounds on his knees, which seemed to be broken.

Shen Jiu walked over quietly, and checked the little beggar's bleeding wound very gently.

No, I have to help him stop the bleeding quickly, otherwise it will be troublesome if he gets infected.

Shen Jiu quickly fumbled in his sleeves, fumbling around, and finally found a pack of medicinal powder.

Before Shen Huan asked him to go out, he had to bring some emergency medicines, he was really obedient.

He opened the medicine bag and carefully sprinkled the white medicine powder on it. The pain caused the little beggar to slowly open his eyes. His face was dirty, and he looked at Shen Jiu dodgingly, not daring to look directly at him.

"Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person, let me help you wrap up the wound, okay?"

Shen Jiu whispered softly, his eyes were curved, very gentle.

The little beggar finally nodded.

But Shen Nineteen fumbled around, but there were no other bandages or cloth strips on his body that could be used to bind the wound.

Suddenly, a snow-white handkerchief appeared in front of him, with the slightest scent of sandalwood.

Shen Jiu looked up, Pei Zheng threw the handkerchief into his arms, and walked away.

He took the handkerchief, unfolded it, and carefully bandaged the injured leg for the little beggar. The bleeding had stopped, so there should be no infection.

Shen Jiu clapped his hands and stood up, turning around to leave.

The trouser legs were gently pulled, and the little beggar's voice sounded like a mosquito, "Thank you brother."

Shen Jiu smiled, "You're welcome."

Then he walked in Pei Zheng's direction step by step and turned his head three times.

Before reaching Pei Zheng, Shen Jiujiu was suddenly pulled by his arm and thrown directly to the wall beside him.

Then Pei Zheng looked at Shen Jiujiu with dark eyes, as if he wanted to see his heart through his eyes.

Shen Jiujiu wanted to avoid his gaze, but he pinched his chin and forcibly pushed it back.

"Why save him? He is not related to you, even if he dies, it has nothing to do with you, right?"
