Xianyang Bridge

"Xiaoqi has been on guard all night, I'll go and see and let him sleep for a while."

He leaned on the wall of the car and crossed with Qi Shaoshang, raised the curtain and stopped for a while, then suddenly turned his head and said to him, "Since when did the master..."

He only said half of what he said, but Qi Shaoshang understood what he wanted to ask, leaned on the car and thought for a while, "How should I say this, maybe it was the first time I saw you back then, maybe it was drinking with you From time to time, I heard you talk about your life experience and saw your military book, or maybe you tried desperately to kill me, but you couldn't do it every time. I don't know. There are so many people who suffer from love."

"So early..." He was a little surprised, Qi Shaoshang stretched out his hand to touch his head, and said, "What do you think, otherwise I won't kill you every time you fall into my hands, is it really true?" Is it father-son relationship?"

Maybe it was because he was used to being touched by him when he was recuperating in those days, Gu Xichao subconsciously pushed his hand away, without thinking too much, just laughed at the sentence of father-son relationship, and said, "I'm going."

Qi Shaoshang leaned on the car and saw that he took a step slower than ordinary people, but he walked up to Xiao Qi accurately and said something to him. Xiao Qi nodded and handed Lao Huang to him. Looking at the car again, Qi Shaoshang waved to him in the car, Xiao Qi twitched his mouth, and fell asleep next to Lei Yun in He Yi.

Gu Xichao sat by the fire, Lao Huang would rub his forehead against his ears from time to time, Gu Xichao went to touch its neck, Qi Shaoshang just looked at him like this, and fell asleep for a while without knowing it.

At dawn, Qi Shaoshang asked Xiao Qi and Lei Yun to abandon their horses and asked Lei Yun to drive the car. He and Gu Xichao and Xiao Qi squeezed into the car. Qi Shaoshang gave Lei Yun instructions on how to go. Arrived outside Leijiazhuang.

"There is no way to go around here, there is a road ahead, let's go directly." Qi Shaoshang said to Lei Yun.

After the carriage passed by, two young men in heavy clothes came down the hill. One of them squatted on the ground and touched the ruts of the carriage, and said, "There are at least two people in the carriage, maybe three."

The standing young man nodded, "Go back and tell your lord that they have arrived at Leijiazhuang."

Lei Yun drove all the way to the river, jumped out of the car and rushed to the other side, shouting, "Is it Lei Ting or Lei Zhen?"

On the wooden tower on the opposite bank, a young man set up an awning to look at him and shouted, "Is that Brother Yun? I'm Lei Ting!"

Lei Yun waved his arm at him, "It's me, put down the suspension bridge!"

Lei Ting shouted happily, "Are you alone? Is Big Brother back?"

Lei Yun glanced back at the carriage, and shouted to him, "It's just me, go get someone to put the bridge down."

When Lei Ting heard that Qi Shaoshang hadn't come back, he shouted in disappointment, "I'll go right away, Brother Yun, wait a minute."

The suspension bridge fell, and Lei Yun drove the car into the village. Xiao Qi looked out through the curtains and passed the tall watchtowers and walls, and patrolling figures occasionally walked by the walls, and then looked at Qi Shaoshang, thinking that the 20 Ten thousand taels have been spent on this, no wonder it takes so much money.

According to Qi Shaoshang's instructions, Lei Yun said that all the things in the car were brought back by his elder brother so that no one should look at them. He fooled Lei Ting and Lei Zhen and drove the car directly into the place where Qi Shaoshang lived.

Because he didn't come back all year round, he lived in a remote place. Originally, Mu Jiuping left him some of the best houses in the center of the village. Later, Qi Shaoshang invited Niu Sihai to come back to teach the children in the village. It was changed to a school, and he casually made up a room next to Lao Ba.

Qi Shaoshang didn't talk nonsense when he said that Leijiazhuang was poor. Compared with the beauty of Qingyuan, it was indeed very shabby. Not to mention Qingyuan, even compared with the watchtower outside the city wall, it was quite simple.

His house has not been lived in for a long time, and he did not come back to notify in advance. Mu Jiuping is not the kind of careful housekeeper, the inside is full of dust, Xiaoqi and Lei Yun clean it, Qi Shaoshang leads Gu Xichao to the courtyard Sitting under the apricot tree and talking.

"This apricot tree originally grew here. It was left unobtrusively when the house was built. Sometimes I come back to catch up with the apricots when they are ripe and eat a few. It is very sweet, and the almonds are also sweet."

Gu Xichao said, "That's very rare."

Qi Shaoshang said, "Yes, it is rare."

According to his original idea, he didn't want to come back in such a sneaky way. In the future, Gu Xichao would live in Leijiazhuang permanently. He wanted to make it clear to the people in the village, but Gu Xichao refused, "Even if you have high prestige, the adults in the village will hinder you. I won’t reveal how much I have taken care of them these years, but there are still so many children, if they are questioned by someone with ulterior motives, the crime of harboring them is not a small one. .”

"Don't talk about entering the village openly, it's where I live. It's best for the head of the family to arrange reliable people to guard it, and don't allow anyone to break in."

Qi Shaoshang looked at him, unable to tell whether he really thought so or was being sarcastic, he shook his head and said, "What's the difference between this and locking you up?"

Gu Xichao said, "I'm tired of running around these past few years, and I just want to have a quiet time."

He looked very calm, as if he knew this would happen a long time ago, Qi Shaoshang suddenly felt a little uneasy, he always felt that Gu Xichao seemed to have misunderstood something, but he didn't know where to start, "Let's not talk about this, I'll go Let's see if Lin Qing and Lin Qian have lost weight at Lao Ba's place, and bring them here for you to meet."

"No need, they don't recognize me, let Xiaoqi take a day off to take them away, the leader will leave in August, it's better for them to go back earlier."

"They are Mingjiao people after all," he said to Qi Shaoshang, "staying here is not good for everyone."

Xiao Qi was carrying a basin of water to splash the yard, when he heard it, he called out, "Master..."

Gu Xichao said, "I'm talking about you, don't come back after sending them down, go to Guangmingding with the leader, that's where you should go."

"I want to follow you." Xiao Qi bit her lip and said.

Gu Xichao said coldly, "Are you trying to apostate?"

Xiao Qi looked at Qi Shaoshang with a tangled expression, and wanted him to say something for her. Qi Shaoshang cleared his throat, and said bravely, "Anyway, keeping you alone is harboring criminals, and one more..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Gu Xichao, "I don't need to see people, but Xiao Qi is still so young, so why don't he see people all his life?"

Qi Shaoshang's heart suddenly sank, he looked at him and said, "What did you say?"

Gu Xichao didn't speak, Xiao Qi was holding a water basin, and felt that the yard suddenly became colder, when there were footsteps outside, someone shouted loudly, "Little Lei Yun, why didn't you come to find me when you came back, sneaking to hide What are you doing here at the head of the house?"

As Mu Jiuping spoke, he pushed open the door, saw Qi Shaoshang sitting in the yard and Gu Xichao whom he recognized who had turned into ashes beside him, thought he was dazzled, backed out and stood there, pushed the door in again to test Called, "The head of the family?"

Niu Sihai asked behind him, "Why didn't the eighth master go in, isn't Lei Yun here?"

Qi Shaoshang glanced at Gu Xichao, thinking that he would tell you later, and said to the old man, "Why are you in a daze, why don't you invite Mr. Niu to come in and talk."

Only then did Mu Jiuping believe that he really came back, his face was so happy that he wanted to smile, but when he saw Gu Xichao again, then he is real too?Another burst of hatred surged into his heart, Qi Shaoshang looked at his face with a distorted expression of wanting to laugh and staring, stood up and said to Niu Sihai who was coming behind him, "Mr. Niu is here."

Niu Sihai came in and saw the situation in the courtyard, and like Xiao Qi, he was a little unclear about what happened. The young man saw Mu Jiuping looking at Gu Xichao with unfriendly eyes, and poured water around the tree with a water basin. Shang introduced to Niu Sihai, "This is Gu Xichao, this is Xiaoqi, we came back with Lei Yun, something happened outside, so we didn't tell everyone when we came back."

Lei Yun lay on the window and said to Mu Jiuping and Niu Sihai, "Brother Mu, Mr. Niu, why did you come here so quickly?"

Mu Jiuping gave Lei Yun a hard look, Gu Xichao came to Lei's Village for such a big event, this kid didn't say in advance, did he suffer from the same problem as the head of the family?

Gu Xichao sat under the tree without moving, and said to Mu Jiuping, "Long time no see, Lord Bazhai," and then said in the direction of Niu Sihai, "Mr. Forgive me more."

When Mu Jiuping heard him call him the master of Bazhai so lightly, the veins on his forehead bulged, and he dragged Qi Shaoshang to the door, gritted his teeth and said, "The master brought Gu Xichao back to give to the brothers Revenge?"

Qi Shaoshang said with a headache, "No."

Mu Jiuping had an expression that I knew a long time ago, "Then what new excuse does the big master have this time?"

Qi Shaoshang hesitated for a moment, wondering if telling the truth would scare him.

Niu Sihai in the yard did not expect that this beautiful young man sitting quietly was Gu Xichao, the murderer who everyone hated when he mentioned it, and he also knew a little about the grievances between Leijiazhuang and him over the years , I often heard Mu Jiuping complain that Qi Shaoshang would not let him take revenge.

He didn't understand it before, and of course he doesn't understand it very well now, after all, it's such a deep hatred.But he believed that Qi Shaoshang must have his reasons for doing this, he was invited back by Qi Shaoshang, since Qi Shaoshang himself didn't hate him, so there was no need for him to be cold-hearted, he came to sit down and greet Gu Xichao He said, "I've heard of Mr. Gu's name a long time ago, but when I saw it today, I'm sure he's very handsome."

Gu Xichao listened to Qi Shaoshang and Mu Jiuping talking outside the wall, and replied, "It's notorious."

Xiao Qi's gaze just came over, and Mr. Niu looked at him with some embarrassment, and reluctantly said, "No one has made mistakes. If you know your mistakes and can correct them, there is nothing good about it."

Gu Xichao said, "Mr. Niu is teaching the children in the village to study?"

Niu Sihai said, "Yes, I have little talent and learning, so I also teach the children a little knowledge.
