Misfortune and blessing

Wei Xi looked at him, thinking of his extraordinary martial arts and the way he read a book, feeling inexplicably sad. "You're still a child, too."

Luo Tianxing laughed, turned his head handsomely, and continued walking straight. "I'm 12 years old, I'm an adult."

This big man actually... is actually the same age?Wei Xi was stunned for a while. "12 years old?"

Luo Tianxing hummed and told his birthday. When he turned his head, he saw Wei Xi's surprised expression and said. "You're not the same age as me, are you?" He thought that this little man would not be more than ten years old at most.

Not only in the same year, but also on the same day and at the same time.hateful! "So what?" Wei Xi said coldly. "Ten years later, I will definitely be taller than you."

Luo Tianxing said with a smile. "Okay, I'll wait for you."

When the two walked to the middle of the sun, they finally reached the official road. Luo Tianxing saw a military flag not far away.

"Go quickly." Luo Tianxing waved to him.

Wei Xi nodded, and said again after a while. "My surname is Wei, and my single name is Xi."

When Luo Tianxing heard this, his eyes lit up. "Son of Lord Wei?"

"Yes."

Hearing this, Luo Tianxing lowered his eyelashes slightly. "So it was you." Then, he smiled again. "Xiaoxi, be careful in the future." After finishing speaking, he turned his head and left.

Wei Xi's heart was shaken by his words of "Xiaoxi". Seeing the person in front of him drifting away and finally disappearing into the woods, Wei Xi took a deep breath with a half-smile and walked slowly towards the army. General Yang rushed out of the soldiers. "Master Wei! Fortunately, you are fine."

Wei Xi nodded, he knew he should be happy, but he couldn't even bring back the smile on his lips.

After returning to the state capital, Xiao Yujin and Fang Xiangyi just came back from the outside, and they were very happy to see him. Wei Xi thought that seeing them both would make him feel better, but his heart felt like a big stone was weighing on him. out of breath.

Lightly explaining her whereabouts, Xiao Yujin just glanced at him one more time, and then stopped asking.

Wei Xi rested for a few days, and his physical condition recovered, but his heart became more and more uncomfortable.

In the blink of an eye in mid-spring, the weather is getting warmer, the disaster situation is gradually decreasing, and the disaster relief is coming to an end. Xiao Yujin suddenly receives the news that the seventh prince Xiao Yulin is critically ill.

Because returning home is like an arrow, and she doesn't care about other things, Xiao Yujin asked General Yang to take good care of Wei Xi, and then left on a fast horse with Fang Xiangyi.

Hearing that the Seventh Prince had an accident, Wei Xi was also anxious, but on the day he left Jiangzhou, he overheard the chat between Fan Ju and General Yang.

"...The so-called elimination of evil, if Mr. Fan has the heart to do so, it will be a blessing to the people of Jiangzhou."

Fan Ju nodded repeatedly. "Of course, thanks to the help of General Yang, the most rampant Heilongzhai and Mushantang were wiped out. Now there are Huangshantan and Longxu Gang, and then there is Qifengzhai." With the help of the Forbidden Army, the two major evil forces were eliminated. Next, how could he not take advantage of the victory and pursue it?

General Yang nodded one after another, then shook his head after a while. "Huangshantan and the Dragon Beard Gang should be eliminated, but I heard that Qifeng Village is full of homeless children..."

"Those children are not ordinary children. They are very smart. They occupy the former site of the Holy Fire Cult and play hide-and-seek with state soldiers every day." Fan Ju spat. "The Sacred Fire Cult has a special terrain, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Without help, there is no way to attack."

General Yang said curiously. "Master Fan found a solution?"

Fan Ju thief laughed. "The right time, the right place, and the harmony of people, I don't lack any of them."

Wei Xi behind the doorpost shuddered, and finally understood what the big stone was pressing on her heart.

Those children are orphans without parents, some live on the streets, some are robbed by human traffickers, and they are all robbed... Except here, there is nowhere to go... But, other than that, I am really a robber .

Those children were not ordinary children, they were very smart, they occupied the former site of the Holy Fire Cult, and played hide-and-seek with state soldiers all day long.

My name is Luo Tianxing, just call me Xiaotian.

Wei Xi remembered what Luo Tianxing said the moment he knew his name.

The son of Lord Wei?

It turned out to be you, Xiao Xi, be careful in the future.

If he remembered correctly, the person who assassinated his father last fall was a member of the Sacred Fire Cult, and the leader of that sect was also surnamed Luo.The person in charge, Guan You, committed suicide, and the Sacred Fire Sect was also swept up by the army of Zhen Guo General Li Rulong, and all the branches and properties of the Sacred Fire Sect were confiscated and state-owned.

Luo Tianxing is also surnamed Luo, and he seems to have lived in that garden for a long time. Is he just...a descendant of the Sacred Fire Cult?

Wei Xi frowned and sighed deeply.After returning to the room and leaving a note asking General Yang not to worry, he picked up his burden and quietly left the state capital.

As he walked step by step, the boulder in his heart became heavier and heavier, but he did not hesitate for a moment, but accelerated his speed.

***

The top of Xuanwu Mountain.

Luo Tianxing stood on the giant tree that used to be with his father and watched the gunpowder smoke in the distance.

Spring has arrived, and the disaster situation is gradually decreasing, but this year's spring rain has not arrived yet.

Fan Ju, the governor of Jiangzhou, launched a big campaign to wipe out the dark forces in Jiangzhou in order to relieve the people's grievances.Heilongzhai, which committed crimes, was the first to bear the brunt, followed by Mushantang. Now, Huangshantan is exhausted.

Then it should be the Dragon Beard Gang, and then what?

Luo Tianxing knew in his heart that the good days of Qifengzhai were far away.

He thought that Jiangzhou's problem could be solved by eradicating them, but how can this turbulent country be calmed down by eradicating one or two cottages?

Who wants to live life under the knife's edge?Who would want to be a robber if he could not be a robber?

Luo Tianxing rubbed his fingers, thinking about his father's unspeakable secrets that day.

After his father's accident, the elders of the sect originally wanted him to avoid going to Linzhou, but when he left, he couldn't bear to save a pair of brothers. After that, Luo Tianxing, who was delayed, had to stay in the Holy Fire Cult, and then rescued three more brothers. A child... Until now, there are about forty children in Qifeng Village, especially the ten or so who are under the age of ten. If something really happens, how should he arrange it properly?

Luo Tianxing continued rubbing his fingers.

When I was sad, a small black dot appeared from afar.

what is that?

Look at that size should be a person.

Who is the one?Just coming straight towards Qifeng Village like this?

Luo Tianxing narrowed his eyes, looked at it, and suddenly raised the corners of his mouth.

From such a long distance, he couldn't even see the scenery clearly, but he just knew it.

Jumping off the branches in two or three, plucking one after another, heading towards the direction of the black spot, Luo Tianxing's chest was heaving, his eyes were shining, the corners of his mouth were too grinning, his hands and feet were so fast that he couldn't even imagine arrive.

Xiaoxi, Xiaoxi, Xiaoxi, Xiaoxi, Xiaoxi, Xiaoxi...

Luo Tianxing yelled thousands and hundreds of times in his heart. He only wanted to see Wei Xi quickly in his eyes and mind. Instead of carefully picking those winding passages, he kept going forward. , I don't care if I bump or fall.

According to his memory, Wei Xi left the official road and walked on the road that Luo Tianxing took him through that day. Although his memory was still fresh, the experience of being chased and killed made him feel unavoidable.

Just as he was listening intently to the sounds around him, he suddenly heard a rustling in the woods, and some unknown things flew towards him, Wei Xi immediately jumped away, and at the same time, a black shadow fell from the branch Come.

Luo Tianxing originally wanted to sit on the tree and greet Wei Xi grandly, but he used too much force and ended up hanging upside down from the tree in embarrassment.But shame is shame, but good mood can't be changed.Luo Tianxing, who was hanging upside down from the tree, opened his big hands and greeted people with a smiling face. "Xiao Xi, you are here."

His shout touched the most fragile feeling in his heart, Wei Xi suppressed the throbbing in his heart, and looked at him without blinking, his attitude was as cold as that of December. "You are leisurely, hanging from a tree like a monkey."

Luo Tianxing grabbed the branch with both hands, swung a big wheel on the branch, and landed beside him happily. "I'm so happy to see you here, it doesn't matter if you call me a monkey."

Hearing this stupid man say stupid things, Wei Xi gave him a blank look, but blossoms bloomed in his heart.But, even so, when he thought of the boulder on his chest, he couldn't help but say. "You and my two families are feuds, what's so good about seeing me here?"

Luo Tianxing blinked, and it took him a while to understand his meaning. "Father is father, son is son, between you and me, where is the enmity?"

"Do you really think so?"

"I like you so much, why did you lie to me?"

Hearing Luo Tianxing's generous sweet talk, Wei Xi still had doubts. "In this case, why do you want me to be careful?" No matter how you hear this, it makes people uncomfortable.

Luo Tianxing blinked again. "Wei Xiangye has many enemies, as his son, just being careful is not enough, right?"

That's right.Wei Xi exhaled and said softly. "So, you—are you worried about me?"

Luo Tianxing nodded. "I'm really worried. The situation in Jiangzhou is very chaotic, you shouldn't stay here."

He said this more than once, but Wei Xi didn't take it seriously. "Better worry about yourself than worry about me."

"Well, it's something I'm extremely worried about." Luo Tianxing said with a wry smile. "For Fan Ju, there are limited things he can do. Since he can't help the people, at least he can kill some bad people. Huangshantan was suppressed, and then there was the Dragon Beard Gang, and then there was Qifengzhai. Of course, I wouldn't be so stupid as to think that Fan Ju will take Qifengzhai lightly, even if we are just a bunch of kids."

Wei Xi's heart tightened, it turned out that he knew all about it. "What are you going to do?"

Luo Tianxing smiled. "One step at a time, one step at a time."

***

Luo Tianxing said that, but didn't do that.

Wei Xi went back to Qifengzhai with him.

On that day, he stood beside Luo Tianxing, watching him divide the people into groups, assign daily tasks, and explain the current situation in detail.

In addition to guarding and collecting food, older children are also responsible for teaching younger children to use various utensils.

There was another group of older children, and Luo Tianxing asked them to learn to drive.

"The carriages that were robbed earlier are all in the warehouse, and the horses have been raised all the time, just in time to be sent to the field."

The children in Qifengzhai were not delicate children raised at home, many of them were reborn people who died once. Besides, the work of guarding and collecting food has always been going on, but now it is more rigorous than usual, so No one said much.

After everyone retreated, Wei Xi looked at him. "What are you thinking? Are you going to let everyone leave in batches? But this is a forced intrusion. Although the main force of the state soldiers is not in Qifeng Village right now, there are internal responses in the village. What if the news leaks? We don't even know who that person is." neither knows……"

Luo Tianxing knew the entanglement in his heart. "I know what you're worried about, but if you don't do anything, you will die."

Wei Xi will miss that handsome face thousands of times in the future.

Luo Tianxing raised the corner of his mouth. "Xiaoxi, you have to try everything before you know."
