Misfortune and blessing

After bidding farewell to Li Yi, the two continued to move towards the capital.

Because they had no money to spend, besides picking fruit and hunting to satisfy their hunger, the two also sometimes did odd jobs, and most of them slept on the streets. Of course, they occasionally met kind people who took them in and let them rest in the corner of the room.

Perhaps it was due to a firm mind, no one got sick even after working so hard, and even if they sneezed or something, their bodies became solid.

Luo Tianxing quietly looked at Wei Xi, now that Wei Xi was standing in front of him, he could no longer see the hair swirl on top of his head.

"Xiaoxi has really grown taller."

Wei Xi said with a smile. "certainly."

The two entered the gate of the capital that day.

It was mid-autumn, and the weather was stuffy. The gate guards were all in armor, sweating all over their bodies, and had no good temper at all, especially when they spat bitterly at the last two dirty children.

"Boy, where are you from, and what are you doing in the capital?"

Luo Tianxing was polite and authentic. "Master Jun, my brother and I are from Jiangzhou, and we came to the capital to join our cousin."

"Why are there only two of you? There are no adults at home?"

Luo Tianxing took Wei Xi's hand, closed his eyes cleverly, and showed a humble and ignorant appearance. "Jiangzhou Xuehuang, the family is gone."

Hearing this, the soldier couldn't help but sighed. "It turned out to be an orphan, so he left."

After Luo Tianxing heard this, he took Wei Xi's hand and walked away. At this moment, Ma Ming suddenly came from behind.

Someone on horseback said in a low and arrogant voice. "How are you today? What's the matter?"

The soldier who spoke just now said. "My lord, everything is normal and nothing serious."

Someone nodded. "That's good." He reined in the horse's head and wanted to walk away, but turned back and said. "Look carefully."

"Yes." The soldier replied softly. "Then, will Master Xiang come back today?" If they miss the curfew, they will let him go.

Someone replied. "Probably not." After finishing speaking, he whipped his whip and ran away.

Watching the boss leave, another soldier said. "It's strange to say that Master Xiang has a serious face these days, and he always looks preoccupied."

The soldier shook his head. "Don't you know? The young master of Wei Xiangfu has been missing for more than half a year now."

"When did it happen?"

returned the soldier. "I don't know either. I only know that he disappeared in Jiangzhou, and I don't know who took him away. However, this capital is the area of ​​our military guard camp after all. What if there are thieves who kidnap the young master and come here? Can you stay out of it?"

"No wonder General Luo looks nervous."

"yes."

At this point, Luo Tianxing took Wei Xi's hand and walked slowly, but Wei Xi couldn't help himself.

"..."

It turns out that the guards at the south gate are the people from Wuweiying. It turns out that the one riding the horse just now is Luo Wu. It turns out that they are so close to Xiaotian's father-killing enemy.

Sensing his hesitation, Luo Tianxing held Wei Xi's hand harder, and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear. "Stop talking, don't look back."

Wei Xi was stunned, because the two were holding hands, Luo Tianxing moved forward, and Wei Xi had no choice but to follow.

"Are you going to let them go like this?"

Luo Tianxing rubbed his hands, and answered firmly. "We have no leverage right now."

The two walked for a while, crossed the busy street, and turned into a deserted alley.Wei Xi felt uneasy. "how do you want to do it?"

He has seen Luo Tianxing's martial arts, and knows that although he is young, he is good at martial arts, but no matter how powerful he is, his two fists are no match for four hands. How can he face those soldiers at the same time?If only I could help him.

Luo Tianxing looked at Wei Xi's regretful face and smiled softly. "Xiao Xi, you're thinking too much, I didn't come to the capital to kill people."

"But Naluowu..."

"Based on my current skills, it is absolutely impossible to break into the Wuwei camp alive." Luo Tianxing thought to himself. "I have no choice but to wait for Luo Wu to be alone."

"So, we just have to wait?"

Luo Tianxing nodded.

Wei Xi pursed her lips and hummed lightly.

Luo Tianxing changed the topic. "Maybe you can show me around the capital."

Hearing this, Wei Xi looked at him and suddenly blushed.

"is it not OK?"

Wei Xi looked away in embarrassment. "Actually, I'm not very familiar with the capital." With his identity, can he go to the streets every day?Knowing the way from the Prime Minister's Mansion to the Imperial City is already a blessing from God.

Luo Tianxing said clearly. "What does that matter? Let's see together."

The boy was walking on the streets of the capital, shaking.

Unlike the depression in small towns and small villages, everyone in the capital seems to be in a hurry, walking fast and fast, bustling, hurrying, and even saying hello to people they know feels incapable, let alone for such an inconspicuous person. Teenager wasting time?

At noon, Luo Tianxing took out the money in his pocket and bought two steaming steamed buns, which he ate with Wei Xi while walking.

Wei Xi grew up in the capital since she was a child. Except for the study she often went to, she never even looked closely at the street scene.In addition to the limited time and the hurry, it is also because he is always indifferent to other things.

But Luo Tianxing is different, for him, everything is interesting, whether it is seen or not, everything is happy, even the small fish in the river jump up and down, I can also watch it for a long time.

Seeing him like this, Wei Xi became amused. It turned out that this capital city that made him feel uncomfortable was so interesting.

Just as the two were pulling a small piece of bun skin to feed the fish, someone suddenly shouted. "Hey! Those on the bridge, come down for the uncle."

The two of them took a closer look, and found that they were actually some teenagers who were a few years older than them, with their bodies tilted, showing a ferocious expression.

Wei Xi stood up and said displeasedly. "What do you want to do?"

"What do we want to do?" The leader boy in yellow looked around and sneered. "Did you hear that, this kid actually dares to ask us what we want to do?! Listen, this is my bridge. No one can cross this bridge without my consent."

Luo Tianxing blinked, and as the former bandit leader, he walked up to the fat boy in yellow with a smile. "So—you guys are robbers?"

The fat boy had never been said so before, and when he saw it, his aura suddenly weakened. "You... Who are you calling a robber? How could I be a robber?"

Luo Tianxing smiled slightly. "Just because you want my money, my lord?"

Sensing his friend's gaze, the fat boy swallowed a big mouthful of saliva, and tried his best to lift his double chin. "Let's stop talking nonsense, since you have money, you can buy steamed stuffed buns to feed the fish, so what if I give it to you fat uncle Huahua... so what?"

"not so good."

Luo Tianxing continued to laugh, but suddenly a fierce look appeared in his eyes at the next moment. At the moment when the fat boy was startled, he swept his left foot, and several stones jumped into the sky. Then, he raised his right hand and slapped the stones, surrounded by the bridge The group of people covered their mouths one after another, and before they could shout, blood was already gushing out from their fingers.

Not wanting to hear their cats shouting, Luo Tianxing said straight. "I don't intend to give money, and I don't have money either." After speaking, he pulled Wei Xi and ran away calmly.

That night, the two found a street corner to sleep as usual, but Luo Tianxing knew that Wei Xi slept very lightly, and even a little wind and grass could wake him up.

Luo Tianxing turned the silver bracelet on his left hand and watched him silently all night.

***

When Wei Xi woke up early in the morning, Luo Tianxing was no longer by his side. Although he often did this, after yesterday, Wei Xi felt inexplicably flustered.

Turning and turning in the nearby corners and alleys, Wei Xi reluctantly went back to the place where the two were resting, and found that Luo Tianxing was holding two pairs of pancakes that were still smoking.

"Looking for me?" He shook the food in his hand.

When Wei Xi saw him, she felt relieved and smiled, but she still spoke firmly. "I'm just wandering around."

"You're tired, eat now." Handing him the food in his hand, Wei Xi's cold palm was faintly touched, Luo Tianxing's heart twisted, and the two sat on the corner of the street and began to eat.

The autumn morning is a little cool, which is just right for the hot food, but if it is sleeping in the open every night, it is definitely not a good thing.

Luo Tianxing ate slowly, thinking about a lot of things, from the first time he saw Wei Xi to today, many pictures flooded up all at once.

Finally it's today.

"Xiaoxi."

"Huh?" Wei Xi was struggling to fight the sesame seeds on top of the cake, trying to eat the cake without dropping the sesame seeds.

"It's lucky to have you along the way."

When Wei Xi looked up at Luo Tianxing, he saw his brows and eyes crooked with a smile.

The sky is blue and cloudless, even the wind blowing on the face is as gentle as a lover's lips kissing gently.

"Thank you, Xiaoxi."

Wei Xi blinked, feeling inexplicably distressed.For a moment, he felt that he was going to get up and hug him, kiss him, and confess his feelings to him, but he heard himself say. "How do you talk about this for no reason?"

Luo Tianxing shook his head. "Don't say any more, lest I forget."

Wei Xi looked at him, speechless for a moment.

Unexpectedly, this would be their last conversation.

***

I just ate breakfast and didn't even clean my fingers.

There were already sounds in the street.

"Brother...it's near here, Ah Hu said he saw that little boy appearing here..."

Listening to those words with leaky teeth, Luo Zhenyu glanced at Wei Xi. "No, someone is here." He pulled Wei Xi, who had an inexplicable face, to go to the other side.

But unexpectedly, he heard footsteps.

"Early in the morning, it was really exhausting to be found by Ah Fa to block people."

"Yes, yes."

Hearing the footsteps, they were all adults with martial arts background, and there were quite a few of them. "No, someone is coming." Luo Tianxing narrowed his eyes, and wanted to jump onto the roof and pull Wei Xi up, but his hands were not long enough, so he had to jump down again and said to Wei Xi. "Climb up, I'll help you."

Wei Xi knew that Luo Tianxing was good at martial arts and had good hearing, so he would never joke with him, so without hesitation, he grabbed the pillars of the houses and wanted to climb up, but he never learned it, so how could he do it overnight?Even if Luo Tianxing pushed and lifted under him, he still crawled and slipped, sweating all over his body.

Wei Xi tried again and again, and said simply. "Forget it, leave me alone."

"No, let's go together."

Just as Luo Tianxing said this, the people at the end of the street had already caught the two of them.

The one who brought the fat boy yesterday was actually the soldier guarding the gate.

"It's them." The fat boy's face was even more swollen due to toothache, and with the support of his brother, he was full of arrogance.

"It turns out that you guys bullied my younger brother." Ah Fa yelled at his comrades. "Ayi, Amu, help me arrest him."
