I'm a bully in troubled times

Since leaving Luoyi a year ago, Qi Ranming never thought that he would meet Ji Zhong again.

Ji Zhong has been looking for him, of course he knows, but he never thought about going back.

Until we meet again in such a scene.

It's hard for Qi Ranming to say what he thinks about Ji Zhong, but no matter what it is, he doesn't want to see Ji Zhong again.

Qi Ranming is already very familiar with this palace. The three years here are enough for him to figure out every path here, enough for him to master the defense of the guards, when to change people, and where there are short-term loopholes.Qi Ranming avoided numerous guards, and when he arrived at the place designated by Ji Zhong, the man was already waiting there.

He stood with his hands behind his back, his appearance and posture were exactly the same as in the past, but the smooth sailing of the past two years made the man even more conceited than before.

Behind this rockery is a very secluded place in the Jin Palace, and no one usually comes here.

Qi Ranming stood still a foot behind Ji Zhong.

Ji Zhong also practiced martial arts since he was a child, and his hearing is better than ordinary people, so even though Qi Ranming's steps were already very light, he was still captured by him.He turned around, smiled slightly at Qi Ranming, and said, "Zhan Xia, your brother is here, come out and meet him soon."

Qi Ranming folded his arms warily.

Ji Chong's voice fell, and a tall figure suddenly fell from the peach tree, but it landed lightly and silently. He looked very young, less than 20 years old. Judging from his figure, he was the man who wore the curtain fence in Rao County.

As soon as Zhan Xia landed on the ground, he raised his face and smiled at Qi Ranming: "Brother Ming, long time no see, I thought you really didn't want to meet His Highness anymore..."

Qi Ranming glanced at him, and said lightly: "If you have something to say, just say it, if it's nothing, I'll go."

Ji Chong's eyes darkened: "In such a hurry to leave? In a hurry to go back and serve your new master?"

Qi Ranming raised his lips and sneered with unknown meaning: "What does this have to do with you, if you weren't afraid of you messing around here, do you think I would be willing to come to see you?"

"And you." Qi Ranming glanced at Zhan Xia, "Go away if you have nothing to do, and don't meddle in our affairs."

Zhan Xia was not happy anymore: "Brother... If you have something to say, don't quarrel with His Highness, just come back to Luoyi with us if you have something to say, okay?"

Zhan Xia was dug out from the pile of dead by Qi Ranming himself, and he also taught Zhan Xia martial arts, just like Zhan Xia's older brother, so Zhan Xia was always a little childish when facing Qi Ranming.

Qi Ranming said: "I said, I won't go back, you can follow His Highness well from now on, if something goes wrong and you die, you deserve it, I won't take care of you."

"Of course!" Ji Zhong frowned, "Don't say such unlucky things."

"Why, or you want to say, you will protect him even in an accident?" Qi Ranming sarcastically said.

Ji Zhong has never bowed his head to anyone, except those years when he was forced to make a living and all kinds of hypocrisy and obedience, he would never bow to anyone.It has always been only people who take the initiative to submit to him, and whoever leaves is a betrayal, and the only ending for a betrayer is death.

Ji Zhong frowned deeply: "Just treat it as my mistake... Don't be angry with me, go back with me, I came to you specially this time. My father didn't let me come, I asked for it on purpose." .Because Zhan Xia told me that you refused to leave with Lord Sui Yang, so I thought you might come here with him."

"Your Highness, you are right in everything, it's just that we have different opinions and are not conspiring with each other. We have nothing to say, and you should not send anyone to find me again." He left quickly, landed on the scattered petals under the peach tree, and said slightly, "Unless you can catch me back, you can try this."

Ji Zhong: "You know I don't want to be rough on you..."

Qi Ranming interrupted him: "Even if you use violence, you can't catch me."

Ji Zhong gritted his teeth: "Ranming, you must talk to me like this? You are very close to that Suiyang Lord now, why, is he better than me, and worthy of your heartfelt following?"

Qi Ranming frowned impatiently: "Forget it, it doesn't make sense to you, he said don't let me run around, I'm leaving."

After Qi Ranming said that, he turned around and was about to leave. Before he took a step, Ji Zhong grabbed his wrist and pulled him back. on his back.

Qi Ranming snorted, the strength in his hand suddenly softened, the injury on his back was too fatal.

Qi Ranming bumped his head into Ji Chong's arms.

"You were injured because of him." Ji Chong pressed Qi Ranming's shoulder, not allowing him to move, then lowered his head and whispered in Qi Ranming's ear, "I've heard it all, you hurt him to protect him."

Ji Zhong's voice was low, and when he spoke, the hot breath was on Qi Ranming's ears, and his lips brushed against the tip of Qi Ranming's ears cunningly, showing a bit of ambiguity.

"Go away!" Enduring the pain in his back, Qi Ranming slapped Ji Zhong's chest with his palm, finally pulling the distance between them a little.

The pain made Qi Ranming's lips turn pale, a little cold sweat hung on his forehead, but his face was flushed with embarrassment.

Ji Zhong was not annoyed by being hit with the palm, his eyes were fixed on Qi Ranming's face for a moment, and he said softly: "You are still so afraid of pain, what can you do?"

Qi Ranming held the sword, "clang" and pulled it out half an inch, and said coldly: "Your Highness, please respect yourself, even if I am injured, it is still very easy to attract a few people over."

Ji Chong's eyes were dark: "You are Sui Yangjun's guard now, what's the benefit to attracting others?"

Qi Ranming sneered: "Your Highness, do you want to force me to do it for you? Or do you want him to do it for you?" Qi Ranming raised his chin and nodded towards Zhan Xia.

It's not the first time that Zhan Xia saw his elder brother quarreling with his master, he was so frightened that he shrank to the side and dared not speak, the eldest was aggrieved, it looked a little funny.Hearing Qi Ranming's words, he quickly waved his watch and said sincerely: "No, no, brother, I will never do anything to you."

"What's the matter with you, go away." Qi Ranming said.

Ji Zhong: "——You are forcing me to do something to you!"

Qi Ranming: "What did I force you to do, Your Highness?"

Ji Zhong: "Why do you have to be so decisive?"

Qi Ranming closed his eyes: "I said it, it's just that we don't agree with each other... When we met in the rivers and lakes, you saved me, and I also repaid your life-saving grace with my allegiance for many years. Now the grievances are over. , should forget each other in Jianghu again, what's wrong?"

Ji Zhong couldn't believe it: "The grace of saving lives? Only the grace of saving lives?"

Qi Ranming said contemptuously: "Otherwise, what else is there?"

Ji Zhong was speechless for a while, and couldn't answer again.

Qi Ranming expected that he would not be able to speak, so he shook his head and smiled.

"Forget it, since His Highness definitely wants an explanation, then I will give an explanation."

Qi Ranming drew out his sword, pulled at the hem of his clothes, cut the robe with a swipe of the long sword.

"There is no seat here, so I will cut off my robes. I have the right to cut off my robes. In the future, you and I will not communicate anymore. Your Highness is the prince, and there are countless heroes under his command. I don't think I need to serve you, so farewell. "

After Qi Ranming finished speaking, he glanced at Ji Zhong, who was full of shame, and then at Zhan Xia, who was astonished, and turned to leave.

"Brother...Brother?" Seeing that Qi Ranming was about to leave, Zhan Xia suddenly woke up, and just about to catch up, he saw Qi Ranming drew his sword at him with a clang, pointing the point at Zhan Xia's face.

Qi Ranming didn't look at him, his eyes drooped slightly, and his eyes fell on the ground: "Take your highness, go, don't come looking for me."

"Brother..." Zhan Xia was still a little dazed, this was the first time Qi Ranming raised his sword at him.

Qi Ranming didn't even look at him, he retracted his sword smoothly, and jumped neatly onto the boulder on the rockery. Judging by his movements, he didn't look like a wounded person at all.

"Your Highness, brother, brother, he's gone..." Zhan Xia looked back helplessly.

"I know!" Ji Chonghong narrowed his eyes and lost his composure in a rare way, "Let's go, let's go back, don't worry about him anymore!"

"Ah? Your Highness?"

"go back!"

He shouldn't have come here.

Jiang Yu waited in the posthouse for Qi Ranming to come back, and Qi Ranming didn't come back, and waited and waited, it was almost dark, he was a little frustrated, Taoist Xin probably was abducted by Ji Zhong again.People didn't wait, and waited for his uncle's reply first, Jiang Yu took the small bamboo tube from the carrier pigeon's feet, thinking that the letter was meaningless, and everyone left.

However, at this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Jiang Yu thought it was Gongsun Ke, and raised his voice, "Come in."

The door opened, but Gongsun Ke didn't walk in directly as usual, Jiang Yu turned around and said, "Why..." Before he finished speaking, he was taken aback.

It turned out that the person outside the door was Qi Ranming.

Jiang Yu smiled suddenly: "You didn't go with him?"

Qi Ranming shook his head, he didn't look very emotional, and walked slowly towards Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu frowned, sniffed, and smelled a faint smell of blood: "... Your wound is open?"

Qi Ranming nodded: "Have a fight with the prince."

Jiang Yu was a little surprised, and before he had time to say anything, Qi Ranming pulled up the hem of his clothes and said, "I'm sorry, I tore the clothes, you have to buy me another set."
