flapping wings

When the rooster crowed, before dawn, Qi Ping kicked his cloth shoes through the path in the mountain, and the cool breeze blew in. Although it was just autumn, the mountain was empty and it was early morning, so it was quite cool.

Qi Ping shivered, looked towards the way he came, smacked his lips silently, revisited the warm blanket, his heart was at war with heaven and man for a moment, his eyes dimmed, he turned his head and walked halfway up the mountain without stopping.

Sitting on the stone platform in the middle of the mountain, he couldn't help yawning, and just as he opened his mouth to the maximum, before he could close it, a lump of soil suddenly flew in.

Qi Ping spit out a few mouthfuls of disgust, and glared angrily at the other person on the stone platform——Wei Yanzhi.

Sitting on the futon, Wei Yanzhi blinked innocently, and asked with an unusually serious expression: "Is there a place of love and moon in the mountains that Senior Brother Chu didn't know about?"

Qi Ping turned around and ignored him, Wei Yanzhi continued to ask: "Then is it possible that there is a mountain charm who becomes a spirit and climbs on the junior brother's bed every night?"

After finishing speaking, he shook his head self-consciously, as if thinking: "Your pace is steady, it doesn't look like it."

Qi Ping turned his back and narrowed his eyes, following Wei Yanzhi's example and silently moved his lips.

With a bang, the crisp sound of the stone touching the skull echoed on the stone platform in the middle of the mountain. Qi Ping grinned and covered the big bag on his head, so he had to meditate and practice martial arts obediently.

After the zhenqi circulated in the meridians for another two weeks, he stretched out his arms and was about to stretch, when his back suddenly felt cold.

His mind whirled like a storm, he jumped up from the futon with a whoosh, and he had to do another set of palm movements, until he was sweating all over before finishing the task and ready to go back.

Suddenly, a gust of wind hit, Qi Ping quickly turned around, dodged the broom that was sneaking up on him, looked at Wei Yanzhi clenched his fists in dissatisfaction, and said with a smile on his face: "Brother, what about sweeping the floor?"

Wei Yanzhi drew a half arc with the broom in his hand and swept towards Qi Ping's lower body. His movements were ruthless and sharp, and he directly ended his posture for the rest of his life.

Qi Ping couldn't help swearing a dirty word in his heart, but he didn't dare to be vague in his movements. He pouted his buttocks, and took a step back slightly to avoid the blow.

At the same time, he begged for mercy: "Brother, I was wrong. I did doze off just now, but it was only a few minutes, so I won't do anything."

Wei Yanzhi changed from sweeping to stabbing, and went straight to attack his little brother. Qi Ping was so frightened that he broke out in sweat. Always sleepless at night."

"Have you been panicking every day for the past two years?" Wei Yanzhi twisted his wrist slightly, and the broom flew out in a whirl, and went straight to Qi Ping's important thing.

"Destroy your evil roots, let's see if you still look like an overindulgent man! With this kind of virtue, you will be killed even if you go down the mountain, why don't you help me first!"

"I'm old... Bah!" Qi Ping changed his words in time, and stared at him angrily, his feet kept moving, his eyes aimed at Wei Yanzhi's bottom, and he really wanted to give him a monkey to steal peaches.

However, this person treats him like a brother like a father, and he dare not commit such a crime.

In desperation, his right foot suddenly stepped on a huge boulder, Qi Ping was pleasantly surprised, he jumped up quickly, put his foot on the broom, turned somersault in the air and landed behind Wei Yan, and tried to escape.

Wei Yanzhi quickly grabbed the broom and with Qi Ping's step, bent his wrist and threw the broom downward in a semicircle.

He moved extremely fast, almost in an instant, without even looking at it, he stabbed backwards and hit Qi Ping's ass firmly and hard when he ran away with gas.

With a yell, Qi Ping quit immediately, plopped down on the ground, and groaned again in pain. Suddenly, a storm surged in his mind, and he turned into a tall and mighty fighter, carrying Wei Yanzhi over and pounding him.

The more Qi Ping thought about it, the more enjoyable he became, but the more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he became, he smashed the ground hard, and howled: "I'm going to tell Master, you bully people!"

The whole forest trembled, including Wei Yanzhi, who hurried over to cover Qi Ping's mouth, and begged for mercy with a salivating face: "Okay, senior brother is wrong, senior brother will cook for you whatever you want, Guaranteed to be the same every day.”

Qi Ping shook off his hand, kicked his body away, and yelled in the direction of Master Wei Chen: "Wei Yanzhi hit me, he came to bully me all morning, he beat me out of the head Big bag, buttocks are also swollen, woo woo woo!"

"Ping'er, senior brother knows he's wrong," Wei Yanzhi covered his mouth forcefully, tilted his head and wiped the sweat on his body, "Ten taels of silver!"

Qi Ping squinted at him, and opened his mouth again, Wei Yanzhi quickly increased the price: "50 taels!"

Seeing that it was useless, he finally had to smash the jar and said, "No matter how much you have, it will be gone. I have saved so much for 20 years. I haven't saved a penny in the past two years. I will buy you food!"

The memories of the past two years flooded into my heart, and Qi Ping finally died down with a snort.

He is actually an outsider here, his home used to be in the beautiful city of H, but the thieves saw him as a bully, and got him to such a place where no shit.

With the same name and surname as him, he looks similar, but it is a pity that he has studied and lived in the mountains for two years in the shell of a fool.

I studied literature with my master, and practiced martial arts with my senior brother. I wanted to reach the pinnacle of life with a little historical knowledge, but I was learning and learning, and suddenly felt something wrong one day.

This place is not ancient China at all, the thief God who he scolded for two years sent him to a whole new world, so now he has completely given up the final fantasy of reaching the pinnacle of life, and is safely and securely in the mountains. Orion.

However, the system here is very similar to ancient China, and his master and senior brother treat him like a family member, so he has adapted very well in the past two years.

But in the past two days, he really always felt uneasy, as if something big had happened, and he often had nightmares at night.

........................

In the brightly lit hall, Mu Xiaoque put one hand on the saber at his waist, and the other hand was hanging by his side holding a simple copper coin.

His figure was as straight as a green pine, standing behind the throne of the emperor, his shadow was reflected on the ground, and in the flickering candlelight, he was climbing up to the emperor's knee little by little.

All the ministers in the audience were drinking and drinking, and it was very lively. Mu Xiaoque swept across the crowd with cold eyebrows and thoughtful eyes, and stopped on the prince for a moment, feeling a little relieved.

However, looking at the aging back in front of him again, he fell into worry again. The whispered words between the emperor and the prince just now were like a piece of wood in his heart, which made him uncomfortable.

Suddenly there was a slight crackling sound, and Mu Xiaoque looked vigilantly at the place where the sound came from, and finally her eyes stopped on a pair of incense sticks placed in front of the throne.

I saw that this thing was shaped like a golden pavilion, more than three feet high, covered with a hexagonal hat with double eaves, and hung a golden bell. The column and body were hollowed out. The smoke was especially thick.

The sound of sandalwood burning also seems to be louder than usual.

In the middle of the banquet, silk and bamboo orchestras played together, and the exotic beauty performed a dance with her hips twisted. The leading dancer caught a glimpse of the fourth prince who was staring at her straight out of the corner of her eyes, and nodded slightly in greeting.

However, this glance somehow aroused the resentment of the Fourth Prince. Suddenly, the tables and chairs were overturned, and the cups and plates were scattered all over the floor.

The Fourth Prince jumped out of his seat, kicked hard, and in the midst of screams and screams, he clenched his fist and threw it at the dancer's eyes.

Halfway through the walk, suddenly he couldn't move anymore. Mu Xiaoque held his wrist and lowered his head slightly: "My lord, you are drunk."

All the ministers stood up one after another, fell down on their knees with their heads buried in their arms, they dared not listen or look, their bodies were trembling endlessly, obviously none of them expected that the Fourth Prince would go mad and come to the imperial court.

The word "Chuan" was formed between the eyebrows of the emperor. After a long while, he coughed twice and waved his hands slightly, "The fourth child is sick, and I may have to travel a long distance to return to the fief. The illness is even worse. There are countless good doctors in Beijing, so I will stay here." Cultivate well, the fief will be temporarily taken over by Jingzhong, the regulations will be drawn up tomorrow, and we will discuss it in the morning, Mu Aiqing, and send someone to send the Fourth Prince back to the residence for treatment."

The banquet is not over yet, but the atmosphere in the hall has long since condensed, and the officials are sitting on pins and needles.

At this moment, Zhao Li hurried in, glanced at Mu Xiaoque in panic, knelt in the hall, and said harshly: "Your Majesty, just sent a secret letter to report that the Qi family has been wiped out!"
