Xianyang Bridge

Your Tiqi seems to be called Mad Dog? "

"It's Gou Feng." Gu Xichao said.

"There is no difference, let's talk about something else, how are your eyes recently?" asked the old man.

"It's still the same." When talking about his eyes, Gu Xichao twitched the corners of his mouth and asked, "When will the last medicine be ready?"

"Lu Li went to the main altar to dispense medicine for you, and he should be back soon. I also hope that your eyes will recover soon. When your eyes recover, I have important things for you to do." The old man said.

"But before Lu Li comes back, you must not forcibly force the poison like last time."

"I see." Gu Xichao said impatiently. Seeing that he was unwilling to bring up that matter, the old man asked, "I don't regret that I shouldn't have been so violent at the time. If you honestly take the antidote on time, you won't become Now it’s like this, it’s an invisible taste, isn’t it?”

Gu Xi said in the direction facing him, "It's not very good to be blind, but it's better than being a human dog. I don't like being chained to do things."

"Hahahahaha," the old man laughed and nodded, and said, "That's right, if you weren't so arrogant, I wouldn't believe you. The Shenhou Mansion wouldn't have sent someone who would die at any time to be a spy."

"Is it interesting to try and test like this?" Gu Xichao asked with a cold face.

"Qingming is coming soon, are you going to see Tie Shou again?"

The old man poured the cold tea in front of him and asked slowly.

Gu Xichao paused, and said, "I'm just going to visit my wife's grave, and I can't control him if Tieshou goes."

"There is one thing I want to ask the leader, why did Qi Shaoshang appear in Shanyang Town?"

The old man replied frankly, "I invited him to go."

"why?"

"Because your last dose of medicine is almost ready. When your eyes recover, the world is high and the sea is wide. I am afraid that the Mingjiao will not be able to keep you, but I cherish your talent very much. I hope you can stay and do things for me."

Gu Xichao gritted his teeth, "Whether I stay or not, what does it have to do with Qi Shaoshang?"

"It's irrelevant, then you have to ask yourself," the old man looked at him with a changed expression, and smiled, "He still has a lot of money with me. He is a chivalrous man. If I want to ask him to help If I do a little favor, he won't refuse."

"Don't drag him in, he will only hinder me." Gu Xichao said.

The old man slowly took out a brocade box beside him, and pushed it to him, "Here is Ping Luanjue and his signed IOUs, if you keep them, I will return them to you, and don't bother him anymore. "

"Conditions?" Gu Xichao asked.

The old man looked at him with a smile, "There is no condition, as long as you are willing."

Gu Xichao looked in his direction with some doubts, as if he thought he heard it wrong, the old man looked at him and said, "I treat you as a national soldier, and I hope you can repay me as a national soldier."

"..." Gu Xichao slowly put his hand on the brocade box, as if hesitating, but the old man stood up and left the room without disturbing him, and waved to the young man outside, "Xiao Qi, let's go feed Lao Huang .”

Seven

Lei Yun took the two children and returned to Leijiazhuang with the money he borrowed. Qi Shaoshang was empty-handed again, but fortunately they left him a horse that was tied in the woods outside the town.

Tiqi was still looking for those two children, Qi Shaoshang was a little worried, Lei Yun stayed in Shanyang Town for another day after he left, he deliberately hid his tracks, and hid in the opposite of the row of burned houses, Gou Feng and Guo Jing and the other eighteen did not find him.

Hearing what Gou Feng and Guo Jing said, Qi Shaoshang felt that something was wrong. They chased Gu Xichao for thousands of miles but did not find his identity. They could only rely on guesswork, which shows how cautious he was along the way.

But why did you leave such a big gap in Shanyang? Is it because of me?

Qi Shaoshang remembered that when he got out of the car, he still met after all, the boss, he didn't want you to see me like this.

The encounter in Shanyang Town was not in his plan.

He was the one who delayed Gu Xichao's handling of the corpses by talking about Lin Qing and Lin Qian. He seemed to have completely forgotten about it at the time and lost the meticulousness he should have had.

Is someone using me to interfere with him?Why did I appear in Sanyang?Why did he come to Shanyang?

Qi Shaoshang felt that he seemed to have stepped into another trap unknowingly, a trap aimed at Gu Xichao.

It might be a bit arrogant to say this, but he thinks that his feelings are not wrong, he can indeed disturb Gu Xichao.

Just like Gu Xichao can also disturb him.

It has been six years since the battle in the capital, and the children in Leijiazhuang have grown into teenagers, but he still thinks of him immediately when he hears the words "Yan Xia Li Huo".

In the past when Lao Ba asked him why he didn't kill Gu Xichao, he would still think about why he didn't kill him. He thought of many reasons for not killing him, but none of them made sense. I thought about why.

Maybe he already knew in his heart that there was no answer to this question at all, so when Lei Yun suddenly asked him why after so long, he would say that there was no reason.

There is no reason to explain his repeated letting go of Gu Xichao. The relationship between them is not a simple rivers and lakes hatred. It is a real blood feud. He should have killed him long ago, but he never did it once. No reason.

After all the Tiqi spies in the town had withdrawn, Qi Shaoshang found his horse in the woods. Between secretly following Lei Yun to escort him to Leijiazhuang and Qingyuan to find answers, he chose to go north.

Even if he wanted to come to Tiqi, he would never have imagined that he would hand over Lin Qing and Lin Qian to a 15-year-old boy who would take them all over the rivers and lakes. Even if they found out, they would suspect that it was a fake. It would be best for Lei Yun if he returned to the capital openly. protection of.

After deciding, Qi Shaoshang planned to go on the road, but found that his horse was hungry.

It is very expensive to raise livestock like horses. They eat a lot and are delicate. They not only eat grass but also beans. Now he doesn't know where his next meal will be, so how can he have money to buy beans for the horses.

The hungry Uncle Ma refused to let Qi Shaoshang ride it, so Qi Daxia had to lead the horse on the road and prevent it from eating the wheat seedlings on the side of the road.

"I should find a mill and sell you." Qi Shaoshang dragged his horse on the way to the capital, just as the sun was setting, the grass and trees in the fields were sprouting, and the breeze was blowing on him.

The ancient spring breeze thin horse, where is not the end of the world.

……

Two days later, Qi Shaoshang also arrived at Qingyuan. The shopkeeper who had always been in charge of receiving him led him into the flower hall where the guests were treated. A clever guy came over to serve tea. What order?"

Qi Shaoshang said, "I'm not here to borrow money today." The first thing he did when he returned to Beijing was to collect last month's salary, and he came only after feeding the hungry and crazy horse. They talk about money.

"Then... I don't know, Daxia Qi, what other orders do you have?" The shopkeeper was stunned, his smile froze, and he asked.

Qi Shaoshang noticed the subtle changes on his face and said, "I want to see your master."

The shopkeeper bowed his hands politely, and when he was about to return to him, Qi Shaoshang followed, "The real master."

The shopkeeper slowly lowered his hand in front of him, and his smile was so weak that it was almost invisible, he said, "I don't understand what Qi Daxia said."

Seeing that he really tried to shirk, Qi Shaoshang didn't bother, stood up and said, "It's fine if you don't understand, I won't delay the shopkeeper's business, and leave."

He left so happily that the shopkeeper was caught off guard, and he stayed for a while before rushing to the back courtyard to report.

Along the way, a few assistants were changed to lead the way. The shopkeeper found the boy named Xiao Qi. Before he could speak, Xiao Qi looked behind him vigilantly and said softly, "Who is it?!"

Qi Shaoshang came out from behind the rockery where he was hiding, and said, "We meet again, what a coincidence."

The shopkeeper looked at him with a pale face, then turned to the boy and said, "Little Seventh Master..."

Xiao Qi said to him kindly, "Leave this to me, you can go ahead and get busy."

Qi Shaoshang raised his eyebrows and watched the shopkeeper and the guy leading the way disappear at the end of the winding garden, and suddenly said, "Have you always been called this name? Xiaoqi...Master?"

The boy said coldly, "I was born with this name."

"Oh, that's such a coincidence," Qi Shaoshang said, "I came to Qingyuan to find someone, I wonder if Xiao Qiye can introduce me?"

"Young master is not here, he has gone out." The boy replied.

Qi Shaoshang looked around the garden and said, "I'm not looking for him, no, I'm not looking for him today, I'm looking for another person, the person who asked me to go to Ruyin County to do a little favor."

The boy frowned, "There is no such person."

"There must be. If you don't know, you can go in and ask. I'll wait here." Qi Shaoshang looked at him with his hands behind his back. The young man was a little uncomfortable being looked at by him, and he subconsciously reached behind his waist.

Qi Shaoshang said, "Want to make a move? This place is so beautiful, it would be bad if you break it with your hands."

The young man hesitated, a door behind him suddenly opened, and an old voice said, "Xiao Qi, go and feed Lao Huang, I heard him barking."

Qi Shaoshang passed the figure of the young Xiao Qi and saw the old man coming out behind him.

He has seen many people in the world in his life, the top masters are like the four famous arresters, the one side is like Brother Juan, the son of the family is like Helian Chunshui, the chicken crows and the dog thief is like Gao Jixue Youzhiwei, plus the court hawks and dogs he saw later, Tiqi those messy things There are all kinds of people, and none of them makes him feel unfathomable like this old man.

Just standing there like Yuan Ting and Yue Zhi, people dare not underestimate, "May I ask your Excellency...?" Qi Shaoshang asked.

The old man was also looking at him. This was the first time he saw Qi Shaoshang himself. This young man was more mature than he imagined.
