my wife, my wife, my wife

Thunder was ringing in the ears, the wind was strong, and in less than half an hour, torrential rain fell.

There are thunderstorms throughout the year, especially in summer. Qi Wuqi and others encountered such easy-to-follow weather several times along the way.The two horses worked fast, and when the thunderstorm fell, they were only five or six miles away from the city gate, and when there was no way to hide, they simply entered the city in the rain.

It's just that when passing through the city gate, there must be a police inspection. After Qi Wuqi dismounted, He Yu, who was riding the same horse as Baodan, also dismounted.After the officers and soldiers released them, the three of them did not leave in a hurry. The rain was too heavy, and the city gate was a good place to shelter from the rain.There are quite a few people sheltering from the rain under the city gate, and the three of them standing there in a mess are not eye-catching.

"I heard that we are going to establish a prince."

Qi Wuqi, who was shaking off the rain on his body, accidentally heard this, and immediately slowed down the things in his hands and listened attentively.

A young man in a green shirt who could tell he was a scholar answered, "Why does the emperor want to establish a prince at this time? The Japanese slaves in the south and the Rongdi in the north are about to move. Then you still have the mind to take care of the Civil War."

"There have been many famines in the past few years, and there is almost no harvest in the fields. The imperial court has used the North-South War to increase the 'community' of our people. My family is almost unable to get rid of it." Another man shook his head and sighed after finishing speaking. .

Qi Wuqi glanced at the officers and soldiers not far away, fortunately there were so many people and noisy here that he didn't hear these words, if he heard these words, I'm afraid these few common people would only be allowed to enter the yamen.

He has been on the road for the past few days, and he has never paid attention to the affairs of the Daying court at all. Now that he hears about it, he can't help but worry about Ying Qinglu, and he doesn't know how he is doing now.Qinglu is now living in the palace, and his letters cannot and cannot be entered.The current situation is grim, any letter entering from outside the palace will be interrogated, even the letter from the prince.The emperor was jealous of Qinglu, and the letters about him were strictly guarded, and those letters could only be received after Qinglu became king and left the palace.

When mentioning this matter, Qi Wuqi was worried about another thing.In the previous life, the painting sent by Qinglu made Longyan furious. Qinglu was punished to kneel outside the gate of the court hall for five hours. Now he painted and changed it himself. I don’t know if the painting has angered Longyan again. Yan?Now that he is no longer by his side, he only hopes that Qing Lu will suffer less in the palace.

He Yu was familiar with the way to go, and it took them ten days to arrive at the location of Gu Ming Pavilion.

Guming Pavilion was built under the hills in Zhonglin City, most of which are low mountains and hills. A big river flows into Zhonglin from the southwest and turns east to Zhenjiang, and Xiexia is the income. In addition, there is a quiet lake, which is worth a stop for those who pass by to take a look.

After sitting on the horseback and studying the terrain, Qi Wuqi suddenly turned over and got off the horse.

He Yu, who was walking ahead on horseback, had excellent hearing. When he noticed something strange behind him, he turned his horse's head and looked at him. The man turned around and looked around. His usually calm face was full of shock and disbelief. .

Walking to the edge of the lake, he squatted down, scooped up a handful of water and patted it on his cheek.It was very hot, but the lake was cold, looking at himself reflected on the water, Qi Wu suddenly covered his face and smiled silently.

There are no shiny asphalt roads, no high-rise buildings of reinforced concrete, and no hustle and bustle of traffic, but Qi Wuqi recognizes this place. This is another Nanjing. Where he is buried!

Although I don't know why his grave has been moved to another world after thousands of years, but for him, everything here makes his heart ache and sad.Recalling those paintings and those dried red beans that he saw in the grave, he couldn't help recalling the past between him and Qinglu.

I have been alone in the grave for thousands of years, just for this tenderness.

The feeling of crying came up, and the body trembled slightly, except for the dryness of the throat and eyes, everything returned to calm.He splashed lake water on his face a few times, and stood up only after he became more clear-headed.Turning around, He Yu and Baodan got off their horses and stood under the shade of a tree waiting for him.After lowering his head and straightening his gown, he stretched his eyebrows and walked towards them.

The few people rode forward for less than half an hour, and they arrived at the gate of Gu Ming Pavilion.

Two stone lions stand majestically on both sides of the gate, and above the vermilion gate hangs a bright plaque with the word Gu Ming written on it.

Before dismounting, the originally closed gate slowly opened.A middle-aged man in a yellow-brown robe came out, "Master Hegu, my Pavilion Master has been waiting for you for a long time, please come inside."

When Qi Wuqi saw He Yu dismounted, he also dismounted.Bao Dan had never seen the world before, and when he saw such a majestic gate, he shrank his neck and moved behind Qi Wuqi.

Although this ancient Ming Pavilion is called a pavilion, it is built like a mountain villa, with a unique layout and picturesque scenery, which is probably a bit better than those mansions of rich families.

After four out and five in, the middle-aged man led them to an attic downstairs, "Master He Gu, the owner of the pavilion is above the attic." After speaking, he looked at Qi Wuqi, "You two, please follow me. "

Qi Wuqi was stunned for a moment, then he understood, and when he was about to nod, He Yu said, "Lang Ming, take this child to rest."

It turned out that the middle-aged man's name was Lang Ming, and after Qi Wuqi wrote down his name, he patted Bao Dan on the head and said, "Don't trouble Uncle Lang."

Baodan tugged at his sleeve a little bit displeased.

"Go." Qi Wuqi said again helplessly.

Baodan looked at him innocently for a while, and finally let go of his sleeves and walked to Lang Ming's side with his head bowed.After Lang Ming nodded to Qi He and the two, he left with Bao Dan.

"Come in with me." He Yu glanced at him, then lifted the hem of his clothes and stepped into the threshold first.

……

As soon as they climbed up to the attic, they saw a young man wearing a water-blue robe with a calm demeanor who looked about 26 seven sitting at a table in the attic and looking up at them.

"Brother." The man stood up and called out with a happy face.

The big brother's voice startled Qi Wuqi who was behind He Yu.The owner of Gu Ming Pavilion is called Brother He Yu?He just fulfilled Bao Dan's wish to save He Yu, but he would pull out so many surprising things.

He Yu smiled and turned to look at Qi Wuqi, "That's my sworn brother Zhong Fengyou, who is also the owner of the Guming Pavilion you are looking for."

Qi Wuqi came back to his senses and hurriedly cupped his fists, "I'm here Qi Wuqi."

"Brother Qi, don't be polite. The friend of my eldest brother is my friend of Zhong Fengyou. Please sit down." Zhong Fengyou made an invitation gesture.

After Qi Wuqi and He Yu walked to the chair beside him and sat down, Zhong Fengyou poured two cups of tea and pushed them in front of them, "When did the elder brother leave the valley? Why didn't the younger brother receive any news?"

"They escaped." He Yu said very flatly.

"Escape?" Zhong Fengyou was startled.

"I was plotted against while practicing in seclusion, and was chased out of the valley afterward."

"Brother's martial arts are superb..."

"As long as you do it while concentrating your whole body's energy and blood, no matter how advanced your martial arts are, you won't be able to stand up to tricks." He Yu interrupted him loudly.

"Where are A Rui and the others?"

He Yu was silent for a moment before saying the words "unknown birth or death". These four words were extremely heavy, but when he said these words, it was as if he was talking about the weather.

Zhong Fengyou's face darkened, "Who is so bold?"

Qi Wuqi listened quietly to the conversation between the two while holding a teacup, but unconsciously compared the imperial court with the Jianghu in his heart.Be it the rivers and lakes or the imperial court, in order to fight for power and profit, it can be said that they will use all means by all means.

There are those who do not compete with the world, those who stick to the rules, those who coexist peacefully, and those who actively participate in the world and strive for fame and fortune. In essence, even the emperor who is high above him is not qualified to criticize human nature. This is just a person's It's just a choice.

When the two of them finished talking and looked at Qi Wuqi, they saw that he was drowsy with his hands on his forehead.

"After driving for ten days, I'm afraid I'm exhausted."

Zhong Fengyou picked up the tea and took a sip, "Why did your brother bring him here?"

He Yu pursed her lips, then reached out and patted Qi Wuqi's shoulder, "Brother Qi."

Qi Wuqi, who was about to fall asleep, was sobered up instantly by his slap.Seeing He Zhong and the others looking at him, he realized his impoliteness. "I'm sorry, Qi was too tired to resist Zhou Gong's call."

He Yu withdrew his hand on his shoulder, but Zhong Fengyou waved his hand and said, "It's Zhong who only cares about talking with elder brother and doesn't care about brother Qi."

Qi Wuqi opened his mouth to speak, but was interrupted by He Yu. "Although Fengyou is my sworn brother, his Guming Pavilion has its own rules. Even if He wants to ask for something, he must follow the rules of Guming Pavilion."

Zhong Fengyou understood, "Brother Qi, do you know the rules for letting Gu Ming Pavilion do things?"

When it came to business, Qi Wuqi sat up straight, "Please let Master Zhong tell you."

"Silver, people, life."

"Huh?" Yin Zi understood, but what does Kerenheming mean?

"If you can afford the price offered by Guming Pavilion, then you will give money. If you can't get out, but you still need Guming Pavilion to do business, you will either keep people or save your life. Of course, I don't want anyone's life, it depends. You, your life is not worth it."

Qi Wuqi listened to these rules in a daze, and it took a long time for Zhong Fengyou to react.He got up and went to the attic window to think for a while, then turned and cupped his hands to Zhong Fengyou and said, "Qi is from Yanxu, and now he wants to change his identity to Daying. I wonder how much Pavilion Master Zhong will ask for this matter?"

People in Xuzhou?He Yu was a little surprised.

Zhong Fengyou's fingers tapped up and down on the table a few times, and then, under Qi Wuqi's gaze, he smiled and said, "5000 taels of Youwen silver."

5000 taels of silver?What an exorbitant price!He only has 2000 taels left on him, but they have a greater use and cannot be moved for half a cent.Looking at Zhong Fengyou's profiteer-like smile, he, who has always been calm, couldn't help feeling deeply depressed in his heart.

After looking at Zhong Fengyou for a few seconds, Qi Wuqi said helplessly: "Qi Wuqi has just arrived, and he doesn't have much money on him. What do you mean by [retaining people]?"
