You are a lonely soul and I am a wild ghost
Chapter 1 feels a little overwhelmed.
He closed his eyes, so upset that he couldn't fall asleep, he lay on the bed like pancakes, and finally Zhai Zifeng couldn't bear to hold him down: "Sleep."
Qi An's face darkened, and he stiffened his neck and said nothing.
He didn't know whether Zhai Zifeng's whole arm was put up on purpose or not, so his chest had to be tightly pressed against Qi An's back.
It was the first time for Qi An to truly feel what it means to be "like a glow on his back".
Zhai Zifeng pretended to be asleep and half opened his eyes, squinting at Qi An's every move in the darkness.His eyes are not very useful during the day, but at night they are more than ten times better than ordinary people's eyesight. Other people's eyes can't see, but to him it is no different from bright lights.
This already stiff man straightened up, almost stiffer than a rock, but once Zhai Zifeng put his hand on it, he was reluctant to take it off.He squinted his eyes and secretly enjoyed it, thinking that this kid's waist is quite thin, he must have been a little boy before.
Qi An didn't want to look too deliberate at first, but he couldn't bear it anymore, so he lifted Zhai Zifeng's arm, stretched his leg and kicked back: "Stay away, it's so hot."
Zhai Zifeng clicked his tongue secretly in pity, so he didn't bother to blame him any more, and moved aside in a gentle manner, but still leaned his face close to Qi An's ear and whispered vaguely: "Okay Dream."
Qi An unexpectedly hit him with an elbow, but Zhai Zifeng held it firmly in his palm. He wrapped his palm, slowly put Qi An's arm back, and said with a smile, "Stop messing around."
It was almost midnight, and Qi An finally fell asleep in a daze, but not long after falling asleep, he was awakened by a very thin strange noise.
He closed his eyes and remained silent for a while, then turned his elbow on Zhai Zifeng who was behind him: "Hey, your junior brother is here again."
Zhai Zifeng had apparently been awake for a long time, sat up without a sound, patted Qi An's forearm, and handed him a small pill.Qi An has long been familiar with this black booger ball. He was harassed by Xu Lanshan countless times on the way to the north, so he took some interpretation medicine, and this black "booger ball" is the most commonly used one.
In fact, it also has a pretty nice name called "Wangyou Pill".
Qi An raised his neck and swallowed the pill, and exchanged winks with Zhai Zifeng.
After about half a quarter, the dry dog, which was vain for a dog, began to howl belatedly.
Instantly, a strong strange fragrance filled the room.
The people who were divided into two broke the window and broke in, completely surrounded the room, the howling dog screamed earth-shatteringly, and the man who was about the size of a chicken became vicious, which was indescribably funny.
Xu Lanshan frowned, thinking that he hadn't heard that the Nine Steps Broken Soul Incense is useless for dogs.
A few Yinyang Mountain disciples who searched the whole room rushed to report: "Mr. Xu, there is no one in the room."
"No one?" Xu Lanshan asked suspiciously, then he was taken aback suddenly, "...that's not right."
A disciple next to him thought the dog was too noisy, so he raised his foot and was about to kick it. At this time, Xu Lanshan suddenly realized: "Wait!"
Sooner or later, poisoned silver needles kept flying from the cracks in the walls in all directions of the room, and one of them even barely brushed against Xu Lanshan's face.

"No one?" Xu Lanshan asked suspiciously, then he was taken aback suddenly, "...that's not right."
A disciple next to him thought the dog was too noisy, so he raised his foot and was about to kick it. At this time, Xu Lanshan suddenly realized: "Wait!"
Sooner or later, poisoned silver needles kept flying from the cracks in the walls in all directions of the room, and one of them even barely brushed against Xu Lanshan's face.
The people brought by Xu Lanshan were caught off guard, and they scrambled to deal with the poisonous needle stabbing out from the darkness.
"Zhai Zifeng!!" Xu Lanshan shouted furiously.
He thought how could it be possible, there were only two people, Zhai Zifeng and the one with the incense, how could it be possible for so many poisonous needles to fly out from all directions!
Zhai Zifeng was sitting on the couch, stroking Xiaotiangou's head with his hand once and for all, Qi An half leaned against the head of the bed behind him, watching these people waving wildly in front of them like crazy Dodging left and right with the weapon in hand, like a group of dancers.
Qi An asked, "What medicine did you give them?"
Zhai Zifeng turned his head and smiled at him, his extremely big pupils glowed strangely in the darkness: "The bone-eroding ecstasy incense they want to give us is made with red spider liquid and plantain seed. The psyllium seed is only a supplementary medicine, and it is harmless to humans, so the antidote for the bone-eroding ecstasy incense is only to relieve the poison of the red spider fluid, but it cannot relieve the medicinal power of the psyllium seed."
"So I added Yulu Resurrection Smoke to them, which is much lighter than Bone Ecstasy Incense, so they can't smell it, and when it collides with psyllium, it is the most powerful hallucinogen. "Zhai Zifeng explained quite patiently, "Only I know how to cure this kind of improvised medicine, and they can't possibly have an antidote."
Qi An raised his eyebrows for a reason, then turned over rustlingly, and packed everything in two or three strokes: "Let's go."
Don't stay here for long.
Zhai Zifeng groaned, jumped out of the window and ran away with Qi An with the Xiaotian dog in his arms.
When they got downstairs, the sound of fighting was still coming from the upstairs windows, Qi An frowned and asked, "How long does the medicine last?"
Zhai Zifeng pinched his fingers and calculated: "About two hours?"
Qi An was silent for a while, then turned and walked down the street.Zhai Zifeng was taken aback, but he didn't expect Qi An to leave without saying a word, and hurriedly followed with the dog: "What's wrong?"
The expression on Qi An's face was a bit dim under the moonlight, even though Zhai Zifeng could see clearly in the dark night, he couldn't figure out what he was thinking for a moment.
Qi An paused for a moment, then asked out of the blue, "Why didn't you kill them?"
Since Zhai Zifeng has the ability to make them hallucinate, he must be able to make them hang there. If the medicine just added is not Yulu Resurrection Smoke, but some other poisonous smoke, then Xu Lanshan broke in so rashly. The dead don't know.
Zhai Zifeng was speechless for a while, looking at Qi An's face with heavy eyes, and smiled after a while, saying: "I only brought this."
Qi An didn't bother with him, and walked forward, only saying: "Just talk to you."
How could the Yin-Yang Mountain Man who was famous for his strange poison go out without poison?
Not just this time, Zhai Zifeng had countless chances to kill Xu Lanshan along the way, but in the end he didn't do it.Qi An originally thought that Zhai Zifeng's patience would be exhausted because of Xu Lanshan's countless challenges, but now Zhai Zifeng has hardly hurt Xu Lanshan.
"He is very important to you?" Qi An asked indifferently.
Unexpectedly, Zhai Zifeng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he teased with winks, "What? The jar of jealousy has been turned over?"
Qi An was expressionless.
Since Xu Lanshan appeared here, the whole Weizi City was not safe. They drove out of the city overnight, and Zhai Zifeng rode a horse to clear the way ahead, but when he was about to reach the gate of the city, he suddenly reined in his horse and stopped going.
A dark figure stood at the gate of the city.
Zhai Zifeng's expression sank, and he got off his horse: "Ah Ping."
Gu Ping was wearing a black cloak, and most of his face was covered by the shadow of the brim of his hat, which made his originally resolute face look a bit gloomy.
"Even you want to kill me?" Zhai Zifeng asked.
Gu Ping didn't say a word, and walked slowly towards Zhai Zifeng.
Zhai Zifeng stretched his hand back, and Qi An tacitly untied the short knife from his waist and handed it to him. As soon as Zhai Zifeng touched the handle of the knife, he yanked it violently, and a cold light flashed in the blink of an eye. When Gu Ping saw it clearly, the knife The tip was already pointing at his own throat.
Gu Ping looked down at the tip of the knife, sighed calmly, and said in a deep voice, "I'm here to thank you for not killing Lanshan."
Zhai Zifeng said with a gloomy face: "If I don't kill him now, maybe later."
Gu Ping raised his lips and smiled, paused for a while, and said, "You go."
Zhai Zifeng's expression changed slightly, but he didn't say anything. He retracted the dagger without saying a word, stepped on the stirrup and mounted the horse's back, and said softly, "Let's go."
Zhai Zifeng walked around behind Qi An unobtrusively, glancing at Gu Ping from time to time like a hen guarding its cubs.Gu Ping didn't pay much attention to it at first, but when they passed by Gu Ping, Gu Ping glanced inadvertently, was slightly taken aback, thought for a while, and added coldly: "Take care."
Zhai Zifeng said lightly without looking back: "Thank you."
Gu Ping was silent for a while, turned around and looked at the backs of Zhai Zifeng and Qi An leaving the city, and shouted again: "Don't let Lanshan get the Yangben!"
Zhai Zifeng didn't answer, and followed Qi An away.
It is impossible to find an inn after leaving the city at this point, and Jizhou is further north. They were originally going to settle in Handan, but judging from the current situation, it is impossible to reach Handan before dawn.So they found a small inn outside Jizhou City, planning to make do with it for the night.
The post stations are generally not open to the common people, but some are loose and some are tight. The person in charge of this post station is a young man, most of whom have just arrived and are eager to make some achievements, so they will not let them both " Miscellaneous people and others" went in, and after talking for a long time, they borrowed their abandoned stables to make do with it.
The air leaks from this shabby place, and if you don’t wrap your body with some straw, you will definitely catch a cold the next morning, but if you wrap it up, you will inevitably smell like horse dung.The horses in the nearby stables were still snorting, and whenever Qi An was about to fall asleep, they would wake him up with a puff.After about three or five rounds, Qi An was no longer sleepy, and sat up in a complicated mood.
Dogs are not afraid of the smell of feces, but Xiaotian Dog sleeps soundly, and his sleeping appearance is extremely ugly, dragging his tongue and screaming.
"Can't sleep?" A voice came from behind unexpectedly, Qi An turned around and saw Zhai Zifeng staring at him with a pair of bright eyes.
Qi An let out a "hmm", then lay back down again, his eyes open in a daze.
Zhai Zifeng reached out and took out a delicate porcelain bottle from his sleeve and handed it to him: "Eat a piece of this, so you can sleep soundly."
Qi An glanced at it, but didn't answer: "Thank you, no need."
Zhai Zifeng clicked his tongue, stood up a little, and persuaded: "It's okay, I'll wake you up if something happens."
Qi An simply turned around out of sight and out of mind: "It's really not necessary."
Zhai Zifeng looked at his back and was silent for a while, still refusing to let go, and asked tentatively: "Then...how about I press the acupuncture points for you?"
Qi An said sullenly without turning his head: "Don't bother."
Zhai Zifeng snorted, and stopped immediately: "I said, why don't you listen to others?"
Qi An didn't answer, and it took a long time before he said plainly: "Don't make trouble."
Zhai Zifeng was about to vomit blood, thinking how could there be such a smelly and hard person?
Qi An was thinking about something in his heart, and didn't notice that Zhai Zifeng behind him had such a small emotion.Seeing that he was left out in the cold, Zhai Zifeng couldn't help but feel unwilling, so he turned evil to his guts. A pair of devil claws suddenly reached for Qi An's waist, and scratched him a few times horribly, which made Qi An jump and moved back again and again. No, looked at him in shock and anger, and said incredulously: "What the hell are you doing?!"
Zhai Zifeng seemed to have discovered some shocking treasure, and said cheerfully, "So your waist is so ticklish?"
Qi An became angry from embarrassment, and suddenly rushed forward and twisted Zhai Zifeng's arm behind him, but Zhai Zifeng didn't resist, and was twisted by him until he hummed: "Hey, hey, take it easy!"
"What on earth do you mean?!" Qi An panted heavily with difficulty, his face was still blushing with embarrassment, and he unconsciously increased his strength with his hands.
Zhai Zifeng could almost hear the voice of gada gada in his arm, and hurriedly said: "Hey, don't go too far!"
Qi An's heart was beating like a drum, for a while it was Zhai Zifeng's various actions with unknown meanings, and for a while it was what Jiang Gong said to them before - he had endured it for a long time, and kept pretending to be ignorant, but that moment just now almost made his whole body twitch. The goosebumps were exploding, coupled with everything before, finally made it impossible for him to continue pretending not to care.
He asked impatiently, "What the hell do you mean?!"
Zhai Zifeng smiled and thought, yes, Zhai Zifeng, what exactly do you want?
So Zhai Zifeng looked at him sideways, and said with a smile, "What do you think?"
Qi An was stunned for a moment, the strength in his hand suddenly loosened, and before he had time to react, the world spun before his eyes, and Zhai Zifeng pinned him under him in a blink of an eye.
Qi An didn't struggle either, and looked up at him gloomyly. There were so many inexplicable things in his eyes that Zhai Zifeng couldn't speak for a while.
Zhai Zifeng thought mockingly in his heart: What the hell do I want?
He held Qi An's wrist, and the clear feeling of touch and body temperature penetrated from his palm, and wrapped in a rush of hot blood, it rushed straight to his brain.And there was a voice in his head that kept asking him "what do you want" almost like a bewilderment, like the tide made him feel an indescribable suffocation, and the thinking in his head gradually froze, even for a moment , he couldn't think of anything.
He suppressed it for too long, as if pouring a whole bucket of water out of a small eye, it didn't go so smoothly.In addition, there was still the last string of rationality pulling him, which prevented him from completely losing control.
He adjusted his emotions for a long time, and there was an inexplicable blackness in those huge black pupils, like some kind of beast in the night.
Qi An's face that pierces his heart is right in front of him, and his body, which is thinner than ordinary martial arts practitioners, is in his hands. Zhai Zifeng thought, no matter how powerful this person is, he can't beat him, so No matter what he wants, as long as he is ruthless, he will definitely get it.
But after thinking for a long time, he finally trembled slightly, slowly moved off Qi An's body, raised his head and smiled miserably at him, and said very hopelessly: "Just to tease you."
Zhai Zifeng cursed at himself in his heart: For your rotten life, it is already good to have these, don't fuck your nose.
Unfortunately, people are always greedy.
Qi An gave him a heavy look, with complicated eyes, but he never spoke, turned over and fell asleep as if nothing had happened.
And just when he was about to close his eyes, there was someone outside the stable. Zhai Zifeng glanced at him and said, "It's okay, go to sleep, the messenger came to change the horse."
Qi An didn't think about anything at first, but he always wanted to take a look, but he only took one look, and couldn't fall asleep anymore.
The messenger was from the army, wearing a silver-gray steel armor—and Qi An would never forget the style of that steel armor until he died.
It was the steel armor of the northern Xinjiang military camp, and he had personally inspected it.
His eyes seemed to be glued to the little soldier who delivered the letter, and he even felt a little familiar to him.Zhai Zifeng noticed Qi An's overly focused eyes, and his thoughts moved slightly, but he didn't say anything.
And today coincidentally, the messenger here is quite talkative, chatting with the horse watcher while leading the horse. ?
"Let me tell you, those Huns have never been honest!" Xiaobing said indignantly, spitting and beaming, and his eyebrows were beaming, his expression was so rich, "It was only when our prince was here that we lived peacefully for a while. That's it! Tell me, isn't Your Majesty self-destructing the Great Wall?!"
The old man watching the horse waved his hands repeatedly to stop him: "Oh, my little brother, you can't talk nonsense."
"It's okay!" Xiaobing waved his hands carelessly, "It's definitely going to be another big battle right now. Before I set off, the Huns started their first round of attacking the city!"
"So fast?!"
"That's not."
……
Qi An quickly grasped the most critical part of it - the northern border is about to fight again.
☆, north
The old man watching the horse waved his hands repeatedly to stop him: "Oh, my little brother, you can't talk nonsense."
"It's okay!" Xiaobing waved his hands carelessly, "It's definitely going to be another big battle right now. Before I set off, the Huns started their first round of attacking the city!"
"So fast?!"
"That's not."
……
Qi An quickly grasped the most critical part of it - the northern border is about to fight again.
He sat back with a sullen face, and Zhai Zifeng noticed that his expression was not right, so he leaned closer and asked, "What's wrong?"
Qi An's eyes flickered slightly, and he said lightly: "It's okay."
It hasn't been long since he "died", his bones are still cold, and there is no coach in the northern border, so it's strange that the Huns didn't take advantage of it.Fortunately, there were still many excellent seniors and juniors under his command back then, and the emperor was a little bit more rational when he killed him, and did not do it with the group of generals under him.
As long as the imperial court doesn't go wrong, quickly appoint someone who can do the job. According to the old foundation of the northern border for so many years, there shouldn't be any major problems.
Seeing his gloomy face, Zhai Zifeng didn't want to ask any more questions, but just kept his eyes open and pondered silently in his heart.He had suspected that Qi An was a northern nobleman earlier, but now it seems that he may not be an ordinary nobleman.People have already roamed the rivers and lakes, and they still care so much about the war in northern Xinjiang. Either the mansion is too close to the battlefield, or it has something to do with the army.
After all, everyone in Da'an knows that the defense of the northern border is the strongest among the four realms. No matter how fierce the Huns are, they can't pierce the iron wall.
If nothing goes wrong, the Huns attacked this time because they miscalculated the situation-there is a saying that a thin camel is bigger than a horse.
Qi An didn't fall asleep again, and dragged Zhai Zifeng northward as soon as it was dark.Before he left, he borrowed a pen and paper from the steward of the post station, quickly wrote a letter, sealed it with wax, and inscribed a line of small characters on the edge of the paper - "Abandon the letter and send it to me".
Qi An watched the letter being sent out, and his frown remained unchanged. Zhai Zifeng didn't read what he wrote, and knew that he shouldn't ask too much, but seeing Qi An's expression, he still couldn't help but look up half-jokingly. She squeezed his eyebrows tightly: "Okay, let's go."
It's rare that Qi An didn't hate him, he just hummed, greeted the dog into his arms, and rode his horse to the official road.
Further north is Shuntian Mansion, the closer to the northern border, the more uneasy Qi An feels.
If he was in the vast rivers and lakes in the central plains and the south, no one would recognize him, but if he was in the north, it was hard to say whether he would be recognized by someone who had served him as a soldier by chance.
In fact, logically speaking, it is unlikely, after all, he looks poor now, even if someone finds him familiar, they probably won't think of King Beisu.
It's just that he himself was not stable, so after passing Shuntian Mansion, he still covered his face.
Along the way, Zhai Zifeng would still tease him a few times from time to time, and Qi An gradually got used to it, but every bit of Zhai Zifeng's treatment of him formed a knot in his heart like a coil of wool, and this knot was still getting worse. bigger.
Zhai Zifeng is really kind to him, and since what happened in the stable that day, Zhai Zifeng has become better and better to him, almost responsive to every request, so good that sometimes Qi An himself is a little uncomfortable, wishing he could give him a light slap When he sneezes, Zhai Zifeng will come to check his pulse to see if he has caught a cold.
Qi An has lived for nearly 30 years, and for the first time, he has enjoyed the treatment of being given a pillow whenever he wants to take a nap.
Qi An felt a little apprehensive from time to time, it was the first time that he felt so clearly that he was also a mortal body, and he would feel warmed by this meticulous and considerate, and even felt a little dependent.
And in the past two months, Xiaotiangou's head had been patted out by Zhai Zifeng, making it look more and more greasy.Seeing that it was going to be summer, Qi An was afraid that the dog's dirty fur would cover itself with prickly heat. Although he didn't know whether the dog would get prickly heat, he still took a knife and shaved off the dog's hair neatly. It became a stubble.
Seeing that the dog's whole body was finally as bald as his forehead, Qi An nodded in satisfaction.
The economy in the north is depressed, and it is difficult to find a decent inn. In the north, Qi An is more afraid of being recognized than being chased by people from Yinyang Mountain, so he dragged Zhai Zifeng to find a small inn at the foot of the city.
Things in the north are not expensive, and the cost of staying in a hotel is less than half of that in the south.But the so-called cheap is not good, this dilapidated inn has air leaks from all sides, and it just happened to catch up with the long drought in the north.
There is no dry place in the bedside room, and the rainy feet are like numb.
Zhai Zifeng brought a few wooden barrels to catch the rain, and went to the proprietress to buy a mattress.
Qi An went out in the morning and came back in the evening, and took off his veil as soon as he entered the house. It could be seen from his expression that he didn't seem to be in a particularly good mood.Zhai Zifeng had been plastering the roof for a whole day. When he saw him come back, he quickly took a rag and wiped his hands clean: "Are you hungry? I'm going to buy something to eat."
Qi An stretched out his hand from the cloak, holding a black cloth bag in his hand, through which he could feel the heat inside: "I've already bought it, it's in the Chengdong Restaurant."
The aroma of vegetables filled the room at once, Zhai Zifeng laughed a little, took the rice and put it on the table in a hurry, quickly opened the black cloth bag, and brought out several dishes from the food box.
After getting along for such a long time, we all know each other's little preferences. There are Zhai Zifeng's favorite braised pork and fried parsley in it, and he specially asked the master to add more chili.
Qi An kept his face sullen all the time, sat down at the table without saying a word, took the bowl of rice that Zhai Zifeng helped him serve, and silently ate with one chopstick at a time.
The sky had already darkened, Zhai Zifeng took off the black veil blindfolded, looked at his expression calmly, then looked at Qi An's folded veil and asked unintentionally: "You What kind of veil are you wearing? Why are you covering up your pretty face? Are you reluctant to show it to me?"
Qi An didn't speak, and didn't even raise his eyes.
Zhai Zifeng was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Qi An to be so secretive, so he added: "But in fact, your eyes are pretty."
Qi An still didn't speak.
Zhai Zifeng knew that he was determined not to speak, so he stopped asking.
Zhai Zifeng thought, at least what he can be sure of now is that he must have committed something in the northern border, and he is very likely to be a nobleman. I am afraid that he has some unpleasantness with the government, so he can't show his face.
No wonder you want to hide in the south.
Zhai Zifeng poked a few holes in the rice with his chopsticks, and the more he thought about it, his eyes became straighter. When he came back to his senses, Qi An had already finished eating and was going to sleep.
"Did you go to bed so early?" Zhai Zifeng wondered.
Qi An only gave a hasty hum, and then snuggled into the quilt of the kang bed.
Most northerners sleep on kangs, and there are rarely two kangs in one room, so Zhai Zifeng can justly rub him in the middle of the night.Seeing him lying down, Zhai Zifeng yawned half-truthfully, blew on the lamp, and touched the Kang.
Qi An felt the quilt behind him move, and then Zhai Zifeng got in, the hot body temperature was sprayed on his back, which made him tremble all over.
Qi An tensed up, hurriedly moved forward, frowned and pushed him back: "Don't get so close, it's hot."
"Hey, but I'm cold." Zhai Zifeng said nonsense with his eyes open, and leaned forward cheekily.
Qi An clicked his tongue, sighed, and turned his back without seeing or worrying, not bothering to look at him again.
Zhai Zifeng stared at the back of his head for a while, and thought that even the shape of the back of his head was good-looking. Later, maybe he realized that such a thought was not right, so he quickly suppressed it.
Zhai Zifeng thought for a while, then asked out of the blue, "Are you afraid?"
He obviously felt Qi An's body startled slightly, knowing that he had hit the point, and felt a little pain in his heart for no reason, so he asked in a softer voice: "After the matter is over, where do you want to go?"
Qi An was silent for a long time, with his eyes slightly open, watching the afterglow in front of him gradually dim, he said lightly, "I don't know."
Zhai Zifeng's heart tightened, and for a moment, he almost felt a little hot, and before he could realize what he wanted to do, he put his hands on Qi An's shoulder and blurted out: "Then follow me ?”
Qi An didn't say anything, but Zhai Zifeng felt a slight tremor in his shoulders, and then saw Qi An sitting up with the support of the bed, and turned to look at him.
Zhai Zifeng didn't dare to blink his eyes, and stared straight into his eyes nervously.
☆, that person
Zhai Zifeng's heart tightened, and for a moment, he almost felt a little hot, and before he could realize what he wanted to do, he put his hands on Qi An's shoulder and blurted out: "Then follow me ?”
Qi An didn't say anything, but Zhai Zifeng felt a slight tremor in his shoulders, and then saw Qi An sitting up with the support of the bed, and turned to look at him.
Zhai Zifeng didn't dare to blink his eyes, and stared straight into his eyes nervously.Those huge pupils glowed faintly in the darkness, like some kind of wild beast imprisoned in a cage. judgment.
But the bastard Qi An just refused to let him get what he wanted. After watching him for a while, he finally said calmly: "Go to sleep."
Sleep on your head!
Zhai Zifeng almost spit out a mouthful of old blood, watching Qi An kill him without burying him in the ground and then turn his back on him, he really wanted to shake him awake forcibly, then open his belly to see what this bastard's heart is made of.
Zhai Zifeng was so angry that his teeth itched, he lay on his back on the Kang and was anxious.
Qi An was sleeping next to him, in fact, as long as he wanted it, he could have it at his fingertips.
He touched a little porcelain bottle that hadn't been used much in his sleeve several times, but every time he pulled his empty hand out resentfully.
Zhai Zifeng couldn't help thinking, Qi An trusted him so much, no matter how shameless he was, he would definitely not do such dirty things.Besides, what scares him even more is Qi An's attitude.
It's better to leave in a hurry than to leave completely.
He touched the dog's head of Xiaotiangou lying on his side, Xiaotiangou seemed to feel something, grunted a few times in his throat, and unconsciously rubbed the back of his hand in his sleep.
When he woke up the next morning, when Qi An moved a little, he felt something hard on his buttocks. Although he knew that this was a normal reaction, his face turned dark and he got up very uncomfortably.
In the middle of the night, Zhai Zifeng didn't know whether it was sleepwalking or on purpose, and moved to Qi An's back to cling to him. Qi An vaguely felt the warmth of his back in his sleep. He just felt comfortable and didn't pay much attention to it.
But never expected...
Zhai Zifeng was awakened by Qi An's movement, pulled back the black veil that was blindfolded and tied it on, calmed down a little, felt something strange in his lower body, and realized what had happened.
"Ah..." Zhai Zifeng opened his mouth in embarrassment, he didn't know what to say for a while, looking at Qi An's face that was as dark as the bottom of a pot early in the morning, he felt nervous and angry—what?Is it that annoying?
If you really hate it, why don't you simply reject him, insist on hanging so silently, and give him such a tiny bit of hope.
Zhai Zifeng twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled dryly: "...The water hasn't been drained yet, don't get me wrong."
Qi An didn't pick up his words, and acted as if nothing had happened, and said flatly: "Clean up quickly, we're on our way."
No matter how unhappy Zhai Zifeng was, he had no choice but to get dressed slowly.
From Liaodong to Monan, Qi An trembled all the way, except when going to the inn, he would never take off his veil, and sometimes when passing through the city gate, when he was interrogated by officers and soldiers, he pretended to be consumptive to get through.
Zhai Zifeng didn't ask him again why he covered his face, and he didn't dare to mention his surname again.
The battle in the northern border was raging. All the people, money and material resources from Shuntian Prefecture to the north of Liaodong County were transported to the border. The defenders of the northern border and the Huns had been stalemate on the northern border for more than half a month. Which one is cheaper.
Before, Qi An told Zhai Zifeng that Monan was a place where birds don't shit. At that time, Zhai Zifeng didn't have any real feeling, but after looking at it now, he realizes how appropriate this metaphor is.
The conditions in Monan itself are not very good, it is difficult to grow crops, and coupled with being harassed by the Huns all the year round, if you want to do business, you don’t know who to talk to, so as the hinterland of the Central Plains and the south of the Yangtze River become richer and richer , the northern border has also been set off to become poorer and unparalleled in the world.
Western Xinjiang can still do business with people from the Western Regions, but what about Northern Xinjiang?
The daytime sun in Monan is extremely harsh. Even if Zhai Zifeng is wearing black gauze, he will feel dizzy after standing under the sun for a long time. In addition, he is a person who grew up in the south. He looks disheveled all night.
"Where are you going today?" Zhai Zifeng sold a big bamboo hat to wear, which slightly blocked the sun, but his face was still not very good.
Qi An said: "Follow me to meet someone."
"who?"
Qi An didn't answer, but said: "You'll know when you see it."
? This is the first time Qi An mentioned someone related to him, and Zhai Zifeng couldn't help being interested: "Don't be a secret."
Qi An rolled his eyes and ignored him.
At that time, Qi An had some private properties in the northern border, but after his death, these restaurants and banks were either confiscated or sold off, some of which were bought by his former subordinates, and they were regarded as memory of him - among them was the "Sunset Sun" building".
Even the plaque has not been changed, it is still the words written by him himself.
In fact, this name is really unlucky, but he was young and energetic back then, and he did many things purely on impulse. Back then, he only felt desolate and tragic. He only wanted poetry and no business. Get Ben back.
He said "Luming Pavilion" to the shopkeeper who was watching the store, and the look in the shopkeeper's eyes changed slightly, and then he smiled and said: "You two guests, please follow me."
"Luming Pavilion" is an elegant pavilion on the top floor. Anyone who has been to the Sunset Building knows that this Luming Pavilion never accepts outsiders.
When he arrived, the man hadn't come yet. Although the furnishings in the Luming Pavilion were simple, they were very particular. Ambergris was lighted in the room in advance. Not long after he came in, Zhai Zifeng felt that his headache had healed. few.
The dog was like a hillbilly entering the imperial city, so excited it ran amok, Qi An couldn't stand it anymore, and asked Zhai Zifeng to hug the dog.
Zhai Zifeng picked up the dog, patted its head viciously a few times, and said with feigned anger, "I made you mess around, your mother is angry again."
Qi Qiang pretended not to hear anything, just stood by the railing and looked out without saying a word.
It was almost evening, and the sky was gradually stained with bright red. The bird spread its wings and flew across the air above the roof of the building, screaming mournfully.
After time has passed, I come here to see it again, and then I know what is called the real sunset on the top of the building, in the sound of the sound.
When I was still young, I felt that in life, I had to serve the country faithfully and achieve success in my career, so I couldn't let go of this or that.At the beginning, he thought that if one day he really lost and lost everything about that fresh clothes and angry horse, he might not be able to survive at all.
However, this is not the case. When he really lost everything, he still lived a good life, and he lived desperately.
It's just a different way of living.
"Here." Zhai Zifeng handed over a cup of tea from behind, it was freshly brewed, and Zhai Zifeng only poured [-]% of it, so that he still had room to twist it with his hands so as not to get burned, "Do you need me to avoid it later? "
Qi An didn't expect him to ask such a question. After all, Zhai Zifeng tried every means to find out his little secret before, so he was a little puzzled and asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing." Zhai Zifeng smiled with the corners of his mouth pulled, "Isn't it because I'm afraid that if I know something, you will kill someone to silence it."
Qi An was amused by him, took a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "No, you are right here."
For such a long time, it's not that Qi An didn't want to be honest, it's just that he really didn't dare, and now...Qi An thought, whatever, anyway
Qi An's face darkened, and he stiffened his neck and said nothing.
He didn't know whether Zhai Zifeng's whole arm was put up on purpose or not, so his chest had to be tightly pressed against Qi An's back.
It was the first time for Qi An to truly feel what it means to be "like a glow on his back".
Zhai Zifeng pretended to be asleep and half opened his eyes, squinting at Qi An's every move in the darkness.His eyes are not very useful during the day, but at night they are more than ten times better than ordinary people's eyesight. Other people's eyes can't see, but to him it is no different from bright lights.
This already stiff man straightened up, almost stiffer than a rock, but once Zhai Zifeng put his hand on it, he was reluctant to take it off.He squinted his eyes and secretly enjoyed it, thinking that this kid's waist is quite thin, he must have been a little boy before.
Qi An didn't want to look too deliberate at first, but he couldn't bear it anymore, so he lifted Zhai Zifeng's arm, stretched his leg and kicked back: "Stay away, it's so hot."
Zhai Zifeng clicked his tongue secretly in pity, so he didn't bother to blame him any more, and moved aside in a gentle manner, but still leaned his face close to Qi An's ear and whispered vaguely: "Okay Dream."
Qi An unexpectedly hit him with an elbow, but Zhai Zifeng held it firmly in his palm. He wrapped his palm, slowly put Qi An's arm back, and said with a smile, "Stop messing around."
It was almost midnight, and Qi An finally fell asleep in a daze, but not long after falling asleep, he was awakened by a very thin strange noise.
He closed his eyes and remained silent for a while, then turned his elbow on Zhai Zifeng who was behind him: "Hey, your junior brother is here again."
Zhai Zifeng had apparently been awake for a long time, sat up without a sound, patted Qi An's forearm, and handed him a small pill.Qi An has long been familiar with this black booger ball. He was harassed by Xu Lanshan countless times on the way to the north, so he took some interpretation medicine, and this black "booger ball" is the most commonly used one.
In fact, it also has a pretty nice name called "Wangyou Pill".
Qi An raised his neck and swallowed the pill, and exchanged winks with Zhai Zifeng.
After about half a quarter, the dry dog, which was vain for a dog, began to howl belatedly.
Instantly, a strong strange fragrance filled the room.
The people who were divided into two broke the window and broke in, completely surrounded the room, the howling dog screamed earth-shatteringly, and the man who was about the size of a chicken became vicious, which was indescribably funny.
Xu Lanshan frowned, thinking that he hadn't heard that the Nine Steps Broken Soul Incense is useless for dogs.
A few Yinyang Mountain disciples who searched the whole room rushed to report: "Mr. Xu, there is no one in the room."
"No one?" Xu Lanshan asked suspiciously, then he was taken aback suddenly, "...that's not right."
A disciple next to him thought the dog was too noisy, so he raised his foot and was about to kick it. At this time, Xu Lanshan suddenly realized: "Wait!"
Sooner or later, poisoned silver needles kept flying from the cracks in the walls in all directions of the room, and one of them even barely brushed against Xu Lanshan's face.

"No one?" Xu Lanshan asked suspiciously, then he was taken aback suddenly, "...that's not right."
A disciple next to him thought the dog was too noisy, so he raised his foot and was about to kick it. At this time, Xu Lanshan suddenly realized: "Wait!"
Sooner or later, poisoned silver needles kept flying from the cracks in the walls in all directions of the room, and one of them even barely brushed against Xu Lanshan's face.
The people brought by Xu Lanshan were caught off guard, and they scrambled to deal with the poisonous needle stabbing out from the darkness.
"Zhai Zifeng!!" Xu Lanshan shouted furiously.
He thought how could it be possible, there were only two people, Zhai Zifeng and the one with the incense, how could it be possible for so many poisonous needles to fly out from all directions!
Zhai Zifeng was sitting on the couch, stroking Xiaotiangou's head with his hand once and for all, Qi An half leaned against the head of the bed behind him, watching these people waving wildly in front of them like crazy Dodging left and right with the weapon in hand, like a group of dancers.
Qi An asked, "What medicine did you give them?"
Zhai Zifeng turned his head and smiled at him, his extremely big pupils glowed strangely in the darkness: "The bone-eroding ecstasy incense they want to give us is made with red spider liquid and plantain seed. The psyllium seed is only a supplementary medicine, and it is harmless to humans, so the antidote for the bone-eroding ecstasy incense is only to relieve the poison of the red spider fluid, but it cannot relieve the medicinal power of the psyllium seed."
"So I added Yulu Resurrection Smoke to them, which is much lighter than Bone Ecstasy Incense, so they can't smell it, and when it collides with psyllium, it is the most powerful hallucinogen. "Zhai Zifeng explained quite patiently, "Only I know how to cure this kind of improvised medicine, and they can't possibly have an antidote."
Qi An raised his eyebrows for a reason, then turned over rustlingly, and packed everything in two or three strokes: "Let's go."
Don't stay here for long.
Zhai Zifeng groaned, jumped out of the window and ran away with Qi An with the Xiaotian dog in his arms.
When they got downstairs, the sound of fighting was still coming from the upstairs windows, Qi An frowned and asked, "How long does the medicine last?"
Zhai Zifeng pinched his fingers and calculated: "About two hours?"
Qi An was silent for a while, then turned and walked down the street.Zhai Zifeng was taken aback, but he didn't expect Qi An to leave without saying a word, and hurriedly followed with the dog: "What's wrong?"
The expression on Qi An's face was a bit dim under the moonlight, even though Zhai Zifeng could see clearly in the dark night, he couldn't figure out what he was thinking for a moment.
Qi An paused for a moment, then asked out of the blue, "Why didn't you kill them?"
Since Zhai Zifeng has the ability to make them hallucinate, he must be able to make them hang there. If the medicine just added is not Yulu Resurrection Smoke, but some other poisonous smoke, then Xu Lanshan broke in so rashly. The dead don't know.
Zhai Zifeng was speechless for a while, looking at Qi An's face with heavy eyes, and smiled after a while, saying: "I only brought this."
Qi An didn't bother with him, and walked forward, only saying: "Just talk to you."
How could the Yin-Yang Mountain Man who was famous for his strange poison go out without poison?
Not just this time, Zhai Zifeng had countless chances to kill Xu Lanshan along the way, but in the end he didn't do it.Qi An originally thought that Zhai Zifeng's patience would be exhausted because of Xu Lanshan's countless challenges, but now Zhai Zifeng has hardly hurt Xu Lanshan.
"He is very important to you?" Qi An asked indifferently.
Unexpectedly, Zhai Zifeng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he teased with winks, "What? The jar of jealousy has been turned over?"
Qi An was expressionless.
Since Xu Lanshan appeared here, the whole Weizi City was not safe. They drove out of the city overnight, and Zhai Zifeng rode a horse to clear the way ahead, but when he was about to reach the gate of the city, he suddenly reined in his horse and stopped going.
A dark figure stood at the gate of the city.
Zhai Zifeng's expression sank, and he got off his horse: "Ah Ping."
Gu Ping was wearing a black cloak, and most of his face was covered by the shadow of the brim of his hat, which made his originally resolute face look a bit gloomy.
"Even you want to kill me?" Zhai Zifeng asked.
Gu Ping didn't say a word, and walked slowly towards Zhai Zifeng.
Zhai Zifeng stretched his hand back, and Qi An tacitly untied the short knife from his waist and handed it to him. As soon as Zhai Zifeng touched the handle of the knife, he yanked it violently, and a cold light flashed in the blink of an eye. When Gu Ping saw it clearly, the knife The tip was already pointing at his own throat.
Gu Ping looked down at the tip of the knife, sighed calmly, and said in a deep voice, "I'm here to thank you for not killing Lanshan."
Zhai Zifeng said with a gloomy face: "If I don't kill him now, maybe later."
Gu Ping raised his lips and smiled, paused for a while, and said, "You go."
Zhai Zifeng's expression changed slightly, but he didn't say anything. He retracted the dagger without saying a word, stepped on the stirrup and mounted the horse's back, and said softly, "Let's go."
Zhai Zifeng walked around behind Qi An unobtrusively, glancing at Gu Ping from time to time like a hen guarding its cubs.Gu Ping didn't pay much attention to it at first, but when they passed by Gu Ping, Gu Ping glanced inadvertently, was slightly taken aback, thought for a while, and added coldly: "Take care."
Zhai Zifeng said lightly without looking back: "Thank you."
Gu Ping was silent for a while, turned around and looked at the backs of Zhai Zifeng and Qi An leaving the city, and shouted again: "Don't let Lanshan get the Yangben!"
Zhai Zifeng didn't answer, and followed Qi An away.
It is impossible to find an inn after leaving the city at this point, and Jizhou is further north. They were originally going to settle in Handan, but judging from the current situation, it is impossible to reach Handan before dawn.So they found a small inn outside Jizhou City, planning to make do with it for the night.
The post stations are generally not open to the common people, but some are loose and some are tight. The person in charge of this post station is a young man, most of whom have just arrived and are eager to make some achievements, so they will not let them both " Miscellaneous people and others" went in, and after talking for a long time, they borrowed their abandoned stables to make do with it.
The air leaks from this shabby place, and if you don’t wrap your body with some straw, you will definitely catch a cold the next morning, but if you wrap it up, you will inevitably smell like horse dung.The horses in the nearby stables were still snorting, and whenever Qi An was about to fall asleep, they would wake him up with a puff.After about three or five rounds, Qi An was no longer sleepy, and sat up in a complicated mood.
Dogs are not afraid of the smell of feces, but Xiaotian Dog sleeps soundly, and his sleeping appearance is extremely ugly, dragging his tongue and screaming.
"Can't sleep?" A voice came from behind unexpectedly, Qi An turned around and saw Zhai Zifeng staring at him with a pair of bright eyes.
Qi An let out a "hmm", then lay back down again, his eyes open in a daze.
Zhai Zifeng reached out and took out a delicate porcelain bottle from his sleeve and handed it to him: "Eat a piece of this, so you can sleep soundly."
Qi An glanced at it, but didn't answer: "Thank you, no need."
Zhai Zifeng clicked his tongue, stood up a little, and persuaded: "It's okay, I'll wake you up if something happens."
Qi An simply turned around out of sight and out of mind: "It's really not necessary."
Zhai Zifeng looked at his back and was silent for a while, still refusing to let go, and asked tentatively: "Then...how about I press the acupuncture points for you?"
Qi An said sullenly without turning his head: "Don't bother."
Zhai Zifeng snorted, and stopped immediately: "I said, why don't you listen to others?"
Qi An didn't answer, and it took a long time before he said plainly: "Don't make trouble."
Zhai Zifeng was about to vomit blood, thinking how could there be such a smelly and hard person?
Qi An was thinking about something in his heart, and didn't notice that Zhai Zifeng behind him had such a small emotion.Seeing that he was left out in the cold, Zhai Zifeng couldn't help but feel unwilling, so he turned evil to his guts. A pair of devil claws suddenly reached for Qi An's waist, and scratched him a few times horribly, which made Qi An jump and moved back again and again. No, looked at him in shock and anger, and said incredulously: "What the hell are you doing?!"
Zhai Zifeng seemed to have discovered some shocking treasure, and said cheerfully, "So your waist is so ticklish?"
Qi An became angry from embarrassment, and suddenly rushed forward and twisted Zhai Zifeng's arm behind him, but Zhai Zifeng didn't resist, and was twisted by him until he hummed: "Hey, hey, take it easy!"
"What on earth do you mean?!" Qi An panted heavily with difficulty, his face was still blushing with embarrassment, and he unconsciously increased his strength with his hands.
Zhai Zifeng could almost hear the voice of gada gada in his arm, and hurriedly said: "Hey, don't go too far!"
Qi An's heart was beating like a drum, for a while it was Zhai Zifeng's various actions with unknown meanings, and for a while it was what Jiang Gong said to them before - he had endured it for a long time, and kept pretending to be ignorant, but that moment just now almost made his whole body twitch. The goosebumps were exploding, coupled with everything before, finally made it impossible for him to continue pretending not to care.
He asked impatiently, "What the hell do you mean?!"
Zhai Zifeng smiled and thought, yes, Zhai Zifeng, what exactly do you want?
So Zhai Zifeng looked at him sideways, and said with a smile, "What do you think?"
Qi An was stunned for a moment, the strength in his hand suddenly loosened, and before he had time to react, the world spun before his eyes, and Zhai Zifeng pinned him under him in a blink of an eye.
Qi An didn't struggle either, and looked up at him gloomyly. There were so many inexplicable things in his eyes that Zhai Zifeng couldn't speak for a while.
Zhai Zifeng thought mockingly in his heart: What the hell do I want?
He held Qi An's wrist, and the clear feeling of touch and body temperature penetrated from his palm, and wrapped in a rush of hot blood, it rushed straight to his brain.And there was a voice in his head that kept asking him "what do you want" almost like a bewilderment, like the tide made him feel an indescribable suffocation, and the thinking in his head gradually froze, even for a moment , he couldn't think of anything.
He suppressed it for too long, as if pouring a whole bucket of water out of a small eye, it didn't go so smoothly.In addition, there was still the last string of rationality pulling him, which prevented him from completely losing control.
He adjusted his emotions for a long time, and there was an inexplicable blackness in those huge black pupils, like some kind of beast in the night.
Qi An's face that pierces his heart is right in front of him, and his body, which is thinner than ordinary martial arts practitioners, is in his hands. Zhai Zifeng thought, no matter how powerful this person is, he can't beat him, so No matter what he wants, as long as he is ruthless, he will definitely get it.
But after thinking for a long time, he finally trembled slightly, slowly moved off Qi An's body, raised his head and smiled miserably at him, and said very hopelessly: "Just to tease you."
Zhai Zifeng cursed at himself in his heart: For your rotten life, it is already good to have these, don't fuck your nose.
Unfortunately, people are always greedy.
Qi An gave him a heavy look, with complicated eyes, but he never spoke, turned over and fell asleep as if nothing had happened.
And just when he was about to close his eyes, there was someone outside the stable. Zhai Zifeng glanced at him and said, "It's okay, go to sleep, the messenger came to change the horse."
Qi An didn't think about anything at first, but he always wanted to take a look, but he only took one look, and couldn't fall asleep anymore.
The messenger was from the army, wearing a silver-gray steel armor—and Qi An would never forget the style of that steel armor until he died.
It was the steel armor of the northern Xinjiang military camp, and he had personally inspected it.
His eyes seemed to be glued to the little soldier who delivered the letter, and he even felt a little familiar to him.Zhai Zifeng noticed Qi An's overly focused eyes, and his thoughts moved slightly, but he didn't say anything.
And today coincidentally, the messenger here is quite talkative, chatting with the horse watcher while leading the horse. ?
"Let me tell you, those Huns have never been honest!" Xiaobing said indignantly, spitting and beaming, and his eyebrows were beaming, his expression was so rich, "It was only when our prince was here that we lived peacefully for a while. That's it! Tell me, isn't Your Majesty self-destructing the Great Wall?!"
The old man watching the horse waved his hands repeatedly to stop him: "Oh, my little brother, you can't talk nonsense."
"It's okay!" Xiaobing waved his hands carelessly, "It's definitely going to be another big battle right now. Before I set off, the Huns started their first round of attacking the city!"
"So fast?!"
"That's not."
……
Qi An quickly grasped the most critical part of it - the northern border is about to fight again.
☆, north
The old man watching the horse waved his hands repeatedly to stop him: "Oh, my little brother, you can't talk nonsense."
"It's okay!" Xiaobing waved his hands carelessly, "It's definitely going to be another big battle right now. Before I set off, the Huns started their first round of attacking the city!"
"So fast?!"
"That's not."
……
Qi An quickly grasped the most critical part of it - the northern border is about to fight again.
He sat back with a sullen face, and Zhai Zifeng noticed that his expression was not right, so he leaned closer and asked, "What's wrong?"
Qi An's eyes flickered slightly, and he said lightly: "It's okay."
It hasn't been long since he "died", his bones are still cold, and there is no coach in the northern border, so it's strange that the Huns didn't take advantage of it.Fortunately, there were still many excellent seniors and juniors under his command back then, and the emperor was a little bit more rational when he killed him, and did not do it with the group of generals under him.
As long as the imperial court doesn't go wrong, quickly appoint someone who can do the job. According to the old foundation of the northern border for so many years, there shouldn't be any major problems.
Seeing his gloomy face, Zhai Zifeng didn't want to ask any more questions, but just kept his eyes open and pondered silently in his heart.He had suspected that Qi An was a northern nobleman earlier, but now it seems that he may not be an ordinary nobleman.People have already roamed the rivers and lakes, and they still care so much about the war in northern Xinjiang. Either the mansion is too close to the battlefield, or it has something to do with the army.
After all, everyone in Da'an knows that the defense of the northern border is the strongest among the four realms. No matter how fierce the Huns are, they can't pierce the iron wall.
If nothing goes wrong, the Huns attacked this time because they miscalculated the situation-there is a saying that a thin camel is bigger than a horse.
Qi An didn't fall asleep again, and dragged Zhai Zifeng northward as soon as it was dark.Before he left, he borrowed a pen and paper from the steward of the post station, quickly wrote a letter, sealed it with wax, and inscribed a line of small characters on the edge of the paper - "Abandon the letter and send it to me".
Qi An watched the letter being sent out, and his frown remained unchanged. Zhai Zifeng didn't read what he wrote, and knew that he shouldn't ask too much, but seeing Qi An's expression, he still couldn't help but look up half-jokingly. She squeezed his eyebrows tightly: "Okay, let's go."
It's rare that Qi An didn't hate him, he just hummed, greeted the dog into his arms, and rode his horse to the official road.
Further north is Shuntian Mansion, the closer to the northern border, the more uneasy Qi An feels.
If he was in the vast rivers and lakes in the central plains and the south, no one would recognize him, but if he was in the north, it was hard to say whether he would be recognized by someone who had served him as a soldier by chance.
In fact, logically speaking, it is unlikely, after all, he looks poor now, even if someone finds him familiar, they probably won't think of King Beisu.
It's just that he himself was not stable, so after passing Shuntian Mansion, he still covered his face.
Along the way, Zhai Zifeng would still tease him a few times from time to time, and Qi An gradually got used to it, but every bit of Zhai Zifeng's treatment of him formed a knot in his heart like a coil of wool, and this knot was still getting worse. bigger.
Zhai Zifeng is really kind to him, and since what happened in the stable that day, Zhai Zifeng has become better and better to him, almost responsive to every request, so good that sometimes Qi An himself is a little uncomfortable, wishing he could give him a light slap When he sneezes, Zhai Zifeng will come to check his pulse to see if he has caught a cold.
Qi An has lived for nearly 30 years, and for the first time, he has enjoyed the treatment of being given a pillow whenever he wants to take a nap.
Qi An felt a little apprehensive from time to time, it was the first time that he felt so clearly that he was also a mortal body, and he would feel warmed by this meticulous and considerate, and even felt a little dependent.
And in the past two months, Xiaotiangou's head had been patted out by Zhai Zifeng, making it look more and more greasy.Seeing that it was going to be summer, Qi An was afraid that the dog's dirty fur would cover itself with prickly heat. Although he didn't know whether the dog would get prickly heat, he still took a knife and shaved off the dog's hair neatly. It became a stubble.
Seeing that the dog's whole body was finally as bald as his forehead, Qi An nodded in satisfaction.
The economy in the north is depressed, and it is difficult to find a decent inn. In the north, Qi An is more afraid of being recognized than being chased by people from Yinyang Mountain, so he dragged Zhai Zifeng to find a small inn at the foot of the city.
Things in the north are not expensive, and the cost of staying in a hotel is less than half of that in the south.But the so-called cheap is not good, this dilapidated inn has air leaks from all sides, and it just happened to catch up with the long drought in the north.
There is no dry place in the bedside room, and the rainy feet are like numb.
Zhai Zifeng brought a few wooden barrels to catch the rain, and went to the proprietress to buy a mattress.
Qi An went out in the morning and came back in the evening, and took off his veil as soon as he entered the house. It could be seen from his expression that he didn't seem to be in a particularly good mood.Zhai Zifeng had been plastering the roof for a whole day. When he saw him come back, he quickly took a rag and wiped his hands clean: "Are you hungry? I'm going to buy something to eat."
Qi An stretched out his hand from the cloak, holding a black cloth bag in his hand, through which he could feel the heat inside: "I've already bought it, it's in the Chengdong Restaurant."
The aroma of vegetables filled the room at once, Zhai Zifeng laughed a little, took the rice and put it on the table in a hurry, quickly opened the black cloth bag, and brought out several dishes from the food box.
After getting along for such a long time, we all know each other's little preferences. There are Zhai Zifeng's favorite braised pork and fried parsley in it, and he specially asked the master to add more chili.
Qi An kept his face sullen all the time, sat down at the table without saying a word, took the bowl of rice that Zhai Zifeng helped him serve, and silently ate with one chopstick at a time.
The sky had already darkened, Zhai Zifeng took off the black veil blindfolded, looked at his expression calmly, then looked at Qi An's folded veil and asked unintentionally: "You What kind of veil are you wearing? Why are you covering up your pretty face? Are you reluctant to show it to me?"
Qi An didn't speak, and didn't even raise his eyes.
Zhai Zifeng was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Qi An to be so secretive, so he added: "But in fact, your eyes are pretty."
Qi An still didn't speak.
Zhai Zifeng knew that he was determined not to speak, so he stopped asking.
Zhai Zifeng thought, at least what he can be sure of now is that he must have committed something in the northern border, and he is very likely to be a nobleman. I am afraid that he has some unpleasantness with the government, so he can't show his face.
No wonder you want to hide in the south.
Zhai Zifeng poked a few holes in the rice with his chopsticks, and the more he thought about it, his eyes became straighter. When he came back to his senses, Qi An had already finished eating and was going to sleep.
"Did you go to bed so early?" Zhai Zifeng wondered.
Qi An only gave a hasty hum, and then snuggled into the quilt of the kang bed.
Most northerners sleep on kangs, and there are rarely two kangs in one room, so Zhai Zifeng can justly rub him in the middle of the night.Seeing him lying down, Zhai Zifeng yawned half-truthfully, blew on the lamp, and touched the Kang.
Qi An felt the quilt behind him move, and then Zhai Zifeng got in, the hot body temperature was sprayed on his back, which made him tremble all over.
Qi An tensed up, hurriedly moved forward, frowned and pushed him back: "Don't get so close, it's hot."
"Hey, but I'm cold." Zhai Zifeng said nonsense with his eyes open, and leaned forward cheekily.
Qi An clicked his tongue, sighed, and turned his back without seeing or worrying, not bothering to look at him again.
Zhai Zifeng stared at the back of his head for a while, and thought that even the shape of the back of his head was good-looking. Later, maybe he realized that such a thought was not right, so he quickly suppressed it.
Zhai Zifeng thought for a while, then asked out of the blue, "Are you afraid?"
He obviously felt Qi An's body startled slightly, knowing that he had hit the point, and felt a little pain in his heart for no reason, so he asked in a softer voice: "After the matter is over, where do you want to go?"
Qi An was silent for a long time, with his eyes slightly open, watching the afterglow in front of him gradually dim, he said lightly, "I don't know."
Zhai Zifeng's heart tightened, and for a moment, he almost felt a little hot, and before he could realize what he wanted to do, he put his hands on Qi An's shoulder and blurted out: "Then follow me ?”
Qi An didn't say anything, but Zhai Zifeng felt a slight tremor in his shoulders, and then saw Qi An sitting up with the support of the bed, and turned to look at him.
Zhai Zifeng didn't dare to blink his eyes, and stared straight into his eyes nervously.
☆, that person
Zhai Zifeng's heart tightened, and for a moment, he almost felt a little hot, and before he could realize what he wanted to do, he put his hands on Qi An's shoulder and blurted out: "Then follow me ?”
Qi An didn't say anything, but Zhai Zifeng felt a slight tremor in his shoulders, and then saw Qi An sitting up with the support of the bed, and turned to look at him.
Zhai Zifeng didn't dare to blink his eyes, and stared straight into his eyes nervously.Those huge pupils glowed faintly in the darkness, like some kind of wild beast imprisoned in a cage. judgment.
But the bastard Qi An just refused to let him get what he wanted. After watching him for a while, he finally said calmly: "Go to sleep."
Sleep on your head!
Zhai Zifeng almost spit out a mouthful of old blood, watching Qi An kill him without burying him in the ground and then turn his back on him, he really wanted to shake him awake forcibly, then open his belly to see what this bastard's heart is made of.
Zhai Zifeng was so angry that his teeth itched, he lay on his back on the Kang and was anxious.
Qi An was sleeping next to him, in fact, as long as he wanted it, he could have it at his fingertips.
He touched a little porcelain bottle that hadn't been used much in his sleeve several times, but every time he pulled his empty hand out resentfully.
Zhai Zifeng couldn't help thinking, Qi An trusted him so much, no matter how shameless he was, he would definitely not do such dirty things.Besides, what scares him even more is Qi An's attitude.
It's better to leave in a hurry than to leave completely.
He touched the dog's head of Xiaotiangou lying on his side, Xiaotiangou seemed to feel something, grunted a few times in his throat, and unconsciously rubbed the back of his hand in his sleep.
When he woke up the next morning, when Qi An moved a little, he felt something hard on his buttocks. Although he knew that this was a normal reaction, his face turned dark and he got up very uncomfortably.
In the middle of the night, Zhai Zifeng didn't know whether it was sleepwalking or on purpose, and moved to Qi An's back to cling to him. Qi An vaguely felt the warmth of his back in his sleep. He just felt comfortable and didn't pay much attention to it.
But never expected...
Zhai Zifeng was awakened by Qi An's movement, pulled back the black veil that was blindfolded and tied it on, calmed down a little, felt something strange in his lower body, and realized what had happened.
"Ah..." Zhai Zifeng opened his mouth in embarrassment, he didn't know what to say for a while, looking at Qi An's face that was as dark as the bottom of a pot early in the morning, he felt nervous and angry—what?Is it that annoying?
If you really hate it, why don't you simply reject him, insist on hanging so silently, and give him such a tiny bit of hope.
Zhai Zifeng twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled dryly: "...The water hasn't been drained yet, don't get me wrong."
Qi An didn't pick up his words, and acted as if nothing had happened, and said flatly: "Clean up quickly, we're on our way."
No matter how unhappy Zhai Zifeng was, he had no choice but to get dressed slowly.
From Liaodong to Monan, Qi An trembled all the way, except when going to the inn, he would never take off his veil, and sometimes when passing through the city gate, when he was interrogated by officers and soldiers, he pretended to be consumptive to get through.
Zhai Zifeng didn't ask him again why he covered his face, and he didn't dare to mention his surname again.
The battle in the northern border was raging. All the people, money and material resources from Shuntian Prefecture to the north of Liaodong County were transported to the border. The defenders of the northern border and the Huns had been stalemate on the northern border for more than half a month. Which one is cheaper.
Before, Qi An told Zhai Zifeng that Monan was a place where birds don't shit. At that time, Zhai Zifeng didn't have any real feeling, but after looking at it now, he realizes how appropriate this metaphor is.
The conditions in Monan itself are not very good, it is difficult to grow crops, and coupled with being harassed by the Huns all the year round, if you want to do business, you don’t know who to talk to, so as the hinterland of the Central Plains and the south of the Yangtze River become richer and richer , the northern border has also been set off to become poorer and unparalleled in the world.
Western Xinjiang can still do business with people from the Western Regions, but what about Northern Xinjiang?
The daytime sun in Monan is extremely harsh. Even if Zhai Zifeng is wearing black gauze, he will feel dizzy after standing under the sun for a long time. In addition, he is a person who grew up in the south. He looks disheveled all night.
"Where are you going today?" Zhai Zifeng sold a big bamboo hat to wear, which slightly blocked the sun, but his face was still not very good.
Qi An said: "Follow me to meet someone."
"who?"
Qi An didn't answer, but said: "You'll know when you see it."
? This is the first time Qi An mentioned someone related to him, and Zhai Zifeng couldn't help being interested: "Don't be a secret."
Qi An rolled his eyes and ignored him.
At that time, Qi An had some private properties in the northern border, but after his death, these restaurants and banks were either confiscated or sold off, some of which were bought by his former subordinates, and they were regarded as memory of him - among them was the "Sunset Sun" building".
Even the plaque has not been changed, it is still the words written by him himself.
In fact, this name is really unlucky, but he was young and energetic back then, and he did many things purely on impulse. Back then, he only felt desolate and tragic. He only wanted poetry and no business. Get Ben back.
He said "Luming Pavilion" to the shopkeeper who was watching the store, and the look in the shopkeeper's eyes changed slightly, and then he smiled and said: "You two guests, please follow me."
"Luming Pavilion" is an elegant pavilion on the top floor. Anyone who has been to the Sunset Building knows that this Luming Pavilion never accepts outsiders.
When he arrived, the man hadn't come yet. Although the furnishings in the Luming Pavilion were simple, they were very particular. Ambergris was lighted in the room in advance. Not long after he came in, Zhai Zifeng felt that his headache had healed. few.
The dog was like a hillbilly entering the imperial city, so excited it ran amok, Qi An couldn't stand it anymore, and asked Zhai Zifeng to hug the dog.
Zhai Zifeng picked up the dog, patted its head viciously a few times, and said with feigned anger, "I made you mess around, your mother is angry again."
Qi Qiang pretended not to hear anything, just stood by the railing and looked out without saying a word.
It was almost evening, and the sky was gradually stained with bright red. The bird spread its wings and flew across the air above the roof of the building, screaming mournfully.
After time has passed, I come here to see it again, and then I know what is called the real sunset on the top of the building, in the sound of the sound.
When I was still young, I felt that in life, I had to serve the country faithfully and achieve success in my career, so I couldn't let go of this or that.At the beginning, he thought that if one day he really lost and lost everything about that fresh clothes and angry horse, he might not be able to survive at all.
However, this is not the case. When he really lost everything, he still lived a good life, and he lived desperately.
It's just a different way of living.
"Here." Zhai Zifeng handed over a cup of tea from behind, it was freshly brewed, and Zhai Zifeng only poured [-]% of it, so that he still had room to twist it with his hands so as not to get burned, "Do you need me to avoid it later? "
Qi An didn't expect him to ask such a question. After all, Zhai Zifeng tried every means to find out his little secret before, so he was a little puzzled and asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing." Zhai Zifeng smiled with the corners of his mouth pulled, "Isn't it because I'm afraid that if I know something, you will kill someone to silence it."
Qi An was amused by him, took a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "No, you are right here."
For such a long time, it's not that Qi An didn't want to be honest, it's just that he really didn't dare, and now...Qi An thought, whatever, anyway
