Dingbei Hou's doctor brother

"Hey, Lu Dagua still recognizes me?" Qu Lin and the others laughed. "But now that I've grown up, I seem to have learned a little more backbone than when I was a child, and..."

He stroked his chin with one hand, a teasing look on his face.

"She seems to be more lively now than when she was a child, don't you think?"

The others laughed as they watched. Fu Tong leaned one elbow on Qu Lin and looked at Lu Ziqing, saying with a meaningful smile.

"Of course not. I was born from that kind of guy. I don't know how many men's sperm I've had. How can I not be beautiful? Hahaha..."

Lu Ziqing stared at the mocking faces of the few people and said in a cold voice, "I'll give you a chance. Kneel down and kowtow to me ten times to apologize. Otherwise, no one will be able to leave tonight."

"Wow, wow, wow." Qu Lin and Fu Tong smiled at each other, "New, really new, this Lu idiot is actually angry, I'm so scared, hehe..."

Ao Xin restrained his smile, pushed Lu Ziqing hard, and mocked him.

"A mere lowly son of a whore, not even fit to lick my shoes, dares you to act so arrogantly in front of us?"

Qu Lin hissed with interest.

"I see. He must have learned this from his mother, who sold her body for sex. He learned to sell his ass, but he didn't know how to sell it to an old man? And a handsome one, don't you think?"

The few people burst into laughter again. Lu Ziqing's eyes suddenly showed murderous intent. He raised his hand but only stretched it halfway when a pair of hands suddenly stretched out from the side and slapped those people in the face.

Qu Lin and his companions were awakened by the beating. Before they could fight back, they were detained by the sword-wielding guards who rushed out, including the young master of the Dali Temple, Brother Tang.

Everything happened in a flash. Lu Ziqing then saw that it was Xiao Yan. His first reaction was not gratitude for the man's help, but fear. Did Xiao Yan hear all those words just now?

He took a step back, clutching his clothes in panic, and listened to the howling of Qu Lin and others.

"Who the hell are you? Let us go."

"My father is the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple. You don't want to live anymore." Brother Tang shouted with all his strength, "Let me go now."

"Fuck, you're the man of this whore's son." Ao Xin stared at Lu Ziqing who was not far away. "I advise you to be smart and let us go quickly, otherwise you will end up in jail."

Xiao Yan's eyes were so cold that they seemed to be able to kill people. He stared at the few people, walked over slowly, and without saying a word, slapped Ao Xin in the face several times.

Under this force, before Ao Xin could even scream, blood started flying from his nose and he could no longer tell east from west.

The person next to him was shocked, staring with his eyes wide open and swallowing hard.

Fu Tong's face was filled with fear. He looked up at the murderous eyes staring at him and stepped back tremblingly.

The guards behind him restrained him tightly. Before he could even take a step back, he felt a dull pain on his face.

Xiao Yan's slaps were swift and frequent, as if he was beating him as if he was a spy of Di Jue, and he used 70% to 80% of his strength.

Fu Tong's mouth and nose were bleeding, and his ears were buzzing for a while and he could no longer hear anything.

Xiao Yan did not let any of the others go and beat them one by one. There were no people left on the river bank, and only a series of screams of pain could be heard.

Apart from the battlefield, when he captured rebels in the capital, he would either kill them or take them into custody after defeating them with a few moves. He rarely took venting his anger by beating others, and besides, he didn't need to do it himself.

This time, for the first time in his life, he beat up some dandy young men to vent his anger, and he beat them for a long while.

Qu Lin and his companions were already in a state of confusion and looked listless, with blood dripping intermittently from their mouths and noses. They were being held down by the guards and half-knelt on the ground.

Xiao Yan withdrew his hand and moved his wristband, glanced at the few people, and gave instructions to the guards in a cold voice.

"Keep beating him. Don't kill him. If he faints, push him into the water to wake him up. Beat him for an hour before releasing him."

The guards understood what was said and held several people and continued to slap them.

Xiao Yan looked back, but did not see Lu Ziqing. When he turned to look forward, Lu Ziqing had already walked several feet away.

He quickly chased after her, but Lu Ziqing seemed to know that he was following her, so he quickened his pace and headed towards an empty houseboat in front.

Before Xiao Yan got on the boat, he untied the rope and the boat quickly moved three steps away from the shore.

Xiao Yan jumped onto the boat and followed him, but Lu Ziqing continued to hide inside, as if he didn't want Xiao Yan to see him.

"Ziqing." Xiao Yan called him, "Why are you hiding?"

Lu Ziqing stopped by the bed in the inner room. His back could be seen through the gauze curtain. He didn't say anything, and he didn't know what to say.

Xiao Yan looked at him and said something else, "I was a little late buying wine. Come out, I'll drink with you. I specially picked out fruit wine and your favorite osmanthus wine. They are not strong, just right for you. If you get drunk, you can rest here."

He waited for a moment and finally heard Lu Ziqing speak, his voice a little hoarse.

"Thank you, my Lord. I would like to be alone."

"You can tell me anything you want. I won't leave." Xiao Yan said, "I'll stay here with you tonight."

Lu Ziqing seemed to hum, "The Marquis and I are not of the same kind, there is nothing much to talk about, and I don't need anyone to accompany me. The Marquis is always like this, and I feel at a loss."

Xiao Yan lowered his eyes and took a light breath. After a pause, he lifted the gauze curtain and walked over. Lu Ziqing hid inside again like a frightened bird. Xiao Yan walked over and grabbed him, looking at the top of his head and asked.

"Do you really want this?"

Lu Ziqing didn't turn around, but tilted his head and whispered, "I am just like this, but the Marquis doesn't understand."

That strange feeling came again, and Xiao Yan sighed silently.

"I don't care what you look like, or what your past was like. I'm just afraid that you'll distance yourself from me and treat me like a familiar stranger again."

"I..." Lu Ziqing's body was trembling slightly. As if he had mustered up his courage, he said in a low voice, "I am... I am the son of a prostitute. Naturally, I am a stranger to the Marquis. I used to use you and deceive you. That's it..."

His voice began to choke with excitement.

"It was all so I could enter the Imperial Hospital and find the people who kidnapped my master. With my status, I couldn't enter the palace, so I... I went against my conscience and approached you step by step. In reality, I just wanted to take advantage of your power. I'm such a lowly and shameless person. You saw it today, and you misjudged me."

"Don't talk about yourself like that." Xiao Yan said, "Except for your background, I already know everything you said. I also know that you want to enter the Imperial Hospital."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ziqing finally turned to look at him, her eyes red and misty.

"you know?"

Xiao Yan looked at his moist eyes gently and said, "When I returned to the capital from the Northern Expedition, I knew it from the moment you took care of me after I was poisoned by a snake. Since you refused to speak up, I asked you to come. Even if you weren't here for revenge, I still wanted to convince you to come to the capital with me. I was just afraid you wouldn't want to."

"You say I'm taking advantage of you, but that's unconscionable. It's better to say that I had selfish motives from the beginning, wanting to get close to you and repay you for giving me a new life. But I was afraid that with your personality, you'd always try to avoid me. I was very distressed during that time."
