There is a dragon in the backyard of the palace

When Xiao heard Zheng Shiqi's words, he couldn't help but smile:

"That person kindly lent you money, and you betray him like this?"

Zheng Shiqi also laughed:

"Everyone is in the Jianghu, and that person borrowed money from us brothers, but it was only for himself. We brothers have a lot of friends, and this person came to make friends with us, obviously for the convenience of inquiring information. My younger brother asked He talked about the two of you, which can be regarded as repaying the favor. Brother's life is important, and he doesn't care about that much. Besides, he didn't say that we won't tell others. If we can meet again next time, give him more when paying back the money Just a penny of interest—if I or Shijiu have a chance to meet him."

Zheng Shiqi behaved so cunningly yet so magnanimously, Xiao found it very interesting, it reminded him of the ranger who gave him the dagger back then.That Ranger doesn't even have a proper name, and everyone on the street calls him Xiaoyi, but they don't know which word it is.After that person delivered the dagger back then, he disappeared without a trace and never appeared in the capital again.Whenever Xiao picked up the dagger, he would always feel grateful, thinking that it would be great if he could see him again.

But this wish cannot be fulfilled,

Xiao thought of his former friends, and when he looked at Zheng Shiqi again, he became a little more cordial, and even the drunk cat Jiujiu beside him seemed cute.Xiao didn't want to kill people in the first place, but now seeing him like this, he was even more unwilling to do it, saying:

"I promise you. You only need to tell the name of the man and where he lives, and I will let you two brothers go. But you have to make an oath that you are not allowed to tell others about us."

Zheng Shiqi nodded and said:

"It's easy to swear, but my brother is still not sober. If you want to swear, you have to wait until he is sober. My brother has always been the most obedient to me, and this is absolutely fine. As for the person I mentioned before, I and him We have known each other for seven or eight years, and we have met three or five times, but we are not very familiar with each other. His name is Feng Chuo, he is a wanderer, and he has some martial arts skills. He usually sells medicine with guns and sticks everywhere, and sometimes he will help others when the opportunity is right. Bodyguard. I met him in the tavern today, so I know he must be living in the town. I don’t know the details. It’s getting late now, and he’s probably going to stay for another night. You can find him as much as you want. Find."

This town is not very big, there are only two or three inns available for accommodation.It's really not that hard to find.It's just that Xiao felt bored.He came out of the East China Sea with Qinglong for the purpose of traveling the rivers and lakes, having fun and gaining knowledge.In the past few days, in order to find the dagger, he had searched all over the inns and restaurants in the nearby towns.It's been annoying for a long time, and now that the dagger is back, Xiao doesn't want to make trouble anymore.

The one named Feng Chuo didn't sound like a big shot either.Thinking about it, he was probably just a poor man who took money from the imperial court and passed some news to the palace to make a living.There are not many such people in this world, and there are not many ones missing. Even if he is killed with a knife, I am afraid that no one will look for him, and there will be no troubles.However, it was precisely because he was such a person that Xiao was even more reluctant to kill him.

When he was a teenager, he really let loose for a while.At that time, he was tired of those playboys who always held him up when they played together, and deliberately avoided them, and really found some special friends.

Among the group of teenagers who often hang out together, many are around his age, some of them have killed people, and they are especially respected among them.A few of them are older, appear more arrogant, usually walk alone, and don't want to be with children.The rest of the people were just carrying bombs and flying eagles to hunt outside the city, and when they had money, they invited friends to drink with them.If they encounter injustice in ordinary times, they will do some heroic things; when they hear that officials and wealthy businessmen in the city have obtained some rare treasures, they will go to fetch them at night.It doesn't have to be your own, the most important thing is that it can be regarded as a rare ability to show off in front of your peers.

Xiao had been among these people for a long time, and had a good time with them.He had been hiding his identity for a while, and no one knew that he was the prince's son, but these young people seemed to have a keen sense of smell, and they all knew that he was different from them, so they seemed to be careful with him.

This kind of boy is very mobile, every once in a while, Xiao can see some new faces that he has never seen before, and when he asks, he will hear that he is from a certain place.As for the ones that Xiao was familiar with, they often disappear.Some have where to go, some don't.Maybe some of them were dead, Xiao thought.

The Xiaoyi who gave him the dagger was also one of the people Xiao knew during that time.His figure is thinner than the other person's, his movements are very flexible, his face is very handsome, he rarely speaks, and he always looks different from others, so he is particularly eye-catching.Perhaps because of this difference, Xiao always treats him differently.It was precisely because of this that when he asked Xiao for help, Xiao helped him without hesitation.

Xiao Yi is illiterate, I'm afraid he didn't know that Xiao was once the heir of the royal family.Now that so many years have passed, maybe he, like everyone else, died somewhere.It was because of this thought that Xiao decided to let Feng Chuo live.

If Xiaoyi, or other people he knew back then were in this situation, they also needed someone to let him live.Out of some kind of superstition and pity for the man he had never met, Xiao decided not to kill anyone.

Let him go, anyway, by the time that person sends the news to the capital, they will not be here long ago.Even if the Holy Majesty got the information, it would take a long time to make any decision, and if they encountered any situation at that time, they would do whatever they saw.

Thinking of this, Xiao made a decision.

He raised his head and said to Zheng Shiqi:

"In that case, you go now. Since you vouch for your brother, I am willing to believe you. You don't have to make any more oaths, just keep your promises and never tell anyone about us. As for Feng Chuo... ...When you see him again, don't forget to return his silver."

Zheng Shiqi didn't expect this matter to pass so easily. The young man in front of him had a kind face and a soft heart, and he didn't seem to be planning to go to Feng Chuo again.Zheng Shiqi has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and he is used to seeing people cutting grass and roots, even if it is just to warn, he would cut off a few fingers.Zheng Shiqi had already seen that the young man was gentle, and thought that he might be able to save his life, but he didn't expect that he would be let off so easily.

Zheng Shiqi suddenly recalled his previous speculation that this young man might really be King Jin who is feared by the current emperor.

Zheng Shiqi's expression began to change.

The two brothers were tired of doing the current job, but they couldn't think of a way to get out.If this person is really the King of Jin, and their brothers are by his side, they may meet some special opportunities and find some background.Even if things don't develop as he imagined, being able to walk with the world-famous King Jin for a while can be used as a talking point at any time, and sometimes, it may even be used as a bargaining chip.

It only takes a few seconds for the above to flash through Zheng Shiqi's mind.He has always known what is more beneficial to him, and this opportunity is right in front of him, if he can't grasp it, he may miss it forever.So he made a decisive decision and said to Xiao:

"Seventeen was confused for a while before and offended the young master. The young master was generous and let us go twice. Seventeen felt quite ashamed. Now I see that there is no one to serve the young master. I am afraid that there will be a lot of inconvenience in doing things. Now we are willing to follow Young master, let him drive you."

Xiao didn't expect Zheng Shiqi to be like this, he just felt quite surprised.He froze for a moment, then smiled and said:

"What you said is unreasonable. I let you go, but it's not easy to see you brothers, and it's just a moment of pity. But I don't want to take any followers. The two of us travel together, pack lightly, and are very relaxed. If Adding two more people will seem cumbersome."

Zheng Shiqi insisted:

"Looking at your appearance, you know that you must be surrounded by people. Although our brothers are not very skilled in this area, we are very familiar with the roads in this area, and we know the places where we live in the best shops along the way. There are many friends in the rivers and lakes. , no matter where we go, with our brothers around, it will be smooth sailing."

Xiao didn't want to accept the two of them at first, but when he heard Shijiu talk about his friends in the world, he felt a little moved.He had some friends of his own, none of whom are now located.If there is a person like Shijiu around, maybe there is a chance to find out a little bit.He thought so in his heart, but he still said:

"You are willing to go on the same road with us, but your brother may not agree. Although he listens to you everywhere, you can't make decisions about such things privately. This is not a trivial matter. You have to wait for him to sober up before you discuss it carefully. How about this, tonight we will stay at the Linshui inn, you go back to rest first, we have discussed it tonight, if you still want to come, we will come to the inn together tomorrow morning."
