you got on my tail

Heidan stood at the entrance of the alley, holding a cloth bag in his hand and staring blankly, with a happy smile still hanging on his face.

The Tibetan Mastiff is ferocious by nature and likes to prey on living animals, but Bai Xuehe didn't know where the courage came from, so he barked at the big dog.

The big dog turned his head, instead of staring at Heidan all the time, he panted and looked at Bai Xuehe.

"Don't move." Bai Xuehe raised his eyes and stared at Heidan.

Heidan hugged the package and hurriedly said, "But you..."

"I told you not to move!" Bai Xuehe shouted in a low voice, cold sweat protruding from his forehead.

Xu Lingxiao, who was behind them, was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he hurriedly asked his subordinates to stop him, but facing the big dog with its fangs bared like a wolf, the servants who were accustomed to bullying the weak and fearing the strong dared not stop them, and all backed away.

The Tibetan Mastiff glared at the Snow Crane as if enraged, with fishy saliva oozing from between its fangs, it was about to bite his neck off.

A silver light suddenly flew out from behind the group of people. When everyone fixed their eyes, a sword had been inserted in front of the paw of the Tibetan mastiff on the floor, as if piercing three points into a stone.

The man turned back to put his sword back. He was wearing a coarse cloth, with long hair and a high bundle, and he was holding a food box with the imprint of Changle Restaurant on it. His side face was as handsome and sharp as a knife and an axe. Xun Luo who brought the egg back.

Xun Luo put away his sword calmly, raised his head and said, "Da Zhou's law prohibits keeping vicious dogs in the city. How can you disobey the order?"

Heidan was terribly frightened, Bai Xuehe heaved a sigh of relief, walked quickly to his side, and pulled the child into his arms.

Seeing that the dog had been subdued, Xu Lingxiao became arrogant again, and smiled crookedly: "Do you know who I am? Who wants you to care..."

Before Xu Lingxiao finished speaking, the bloody Tibetan mastiff stood up again. That day he left the sword to Bai Xuehe, and after finding a job running errands for a restaurant, he bought a broken sword himself. The tip was damaged, so the dog was still breathing. After being enraged, it rushed towards the people even more fiercely.

Xu Lingxiao fell to the ground in fright, Xun Luo quickly turned around and drew his sword, his body covered in blood had already stopped at Bai Xuehe's feet, Bai Xuehe took Heidan's hand and pulled him behind desperately.

"Don't come here." Heidan looked at the big dog, his hands were already shaking with fear, and he kept muttering "Don't come here", the dog walked a few steps, and then slowly retreated to the wall, as if he was very scared.

The dog struggled a few times, and finally fell down slowly. In an instant, blood flowed across the street, staining the neat floor tiles on the street red.

Now that the dog was completely dead, Xu Lingxiao pulled a servant beside him to strengthen his courage, pointed at Xun Luo and cursed: "What are you that dare to kill my dog? My dog ​​is worth more than your life! "

Xun Luo didn't say much, turned around and was about to leave, Xu Lingxiao raised his hand, and the servants rushed forward again.

Heidan anxiously tugged at Bai Xuehe, but Bai Xuehe turned around and knelt down, smiling, "See Your Majesty."

A person walked out from the shadow behind them. Fu Jiying in casual clothes raised his hand and pointed to Bai Xuehe's small yard.

Bai Xuehe quickly pushed the black egg to Bai Fu, and led Fu Jiying in by himself.

In Bai Xuehe's hall, Xu Lingxiao knelt in front of Fu Jiying, raised his head, and the villain complained first: "Your Majesty, Mr. Bai held grudges before, but this time he ordered someone to kill the dog of this minister."

Fu Jiying looked stern, and looked Bai Xuehe up and down, Bai Xuehe lowered his eyebrows obediently and said: "I'm fine."

"Your Majesty." Seeing that Fu Jiying didn't look at him, Xu Lingxiao hurriedly said: "Although this dog is an animal, but Weichen's father brought it back from the Western Regions, and Weichen's father is sixty-five, and he still sticks to the outside of the Great Wall..."

"Okay. It's rare for me to come out and see something like this." Fu Jiying glanced at Xu Lingxiao, and the disgust on his face was fleeting. The Xu family did fight countless battles, but they are relatives of the queen mother, so they inevitably oppressed in many ways Xu Lingxiao, who had just ascended the throne, kept mentioning it all the time, which made Fu Jiying even more disgusted.

"It's true that wild animals are not allowed in the city. If you weren't the son of General Xu, I'm afraid you would have been decapitated long ago." Fu Jiying frowned, and said coldly: "Get out, I remember that you are the Minister of the Ministry of War, so you don't have to go tomorrow."

Although Xu Lingxiao was dissatisfied, he didn't say anything. As long as he didn't get beaten and fined, it didn't matter if he was dismissed from office.

So Xu Lingxiao heaved a sigh of relief, and turned around to turn back, but Bai Xuehe suddenly said: "The minister was frightened because of this dog, so Mr. Xu has to make up for it."

Xu Lingxiao was taken aback for a moment, then turned to look at Fu Jiying, but the emperor looked at Bai Xuehe interestingly, without any intention of stopping him, Xu Lingxiao didn't dare to throw any more money casually, so he cupped his hands and said, "I will send someone to send a hundred gold to Bai Xuehe." grown ups."

"I don't want Mr. Xu's money." Bai Xuehe smiled, "I want Mr. Xu to personally apologize."

"You!" Xu Lingxiao's eyes widened, but because Fu Jiying was by his side, he bowed slightly and walked away angrily.

Fu Jiying didn't say anything, but with a calm expression, he turned to look at Xun Luo and asked, "The hero is good at martial arts, and he is righteous, how about staying by my side in the future."

"I'm a rough man, I'm afraid I won't be able to serve others." Unexpectedly, Xun Luo refused decisively.

"Then what kind of reward do you want?" Fu Jiying was not angry, but smiled and said: "The hero of the idle cloud and the wild crane is naturally different from others."

"Mr. Xun is upright, he doesn't ask for rewards." Bai Xuehe said with a smile: "Mr. Xun was poor in the past. He once sold a sword to a minister. The minister didn't know martial arts, so I should return it to Mr. Xun."

This time Xun Luo did not refuse, but nodded, flipping his sleeves, leaving behind an ingot of gold.

Xun Luo took the sword and left, Fu Jiying also got up and left. He didn't bring any entourage by his side, but Bai Xuehe followed him all the way. It was dusk, and the market was preparing to close the stalls. Vegetables and fruits were being sold at a discount. extraordinary.

"Today's matter has indeed wronged you." Fu Jiying smiled slightly, picked up a candied haws from the market, and took out a few pennies from where to hand it to the stall owner, "But the world is so big, there is always me Out of reach."

Fu Jiying looked back and handed the candied haws to Bai Xuehe.

"I didn't say anything." Bai Xuehe took the candied haws and carefully held them in his hands. He didn't respectfully lick until he found Fu Jiying looking at him.

Fu Jiying remembered that Bai Xuehe liked sweets. When he was a child, he bought a candied haws, but it was snatched away by the gardener's big dog in King Yan's mansion. He was also bitten by the dog. The gardener didn't care, so he secretly took the gardener's insect medicine and fed it to the dog. , the dog pulled and vomited for several days. The gardener was miserable, but he didn't know that he did it, and thought it was the dog who ate it himself.

Children like cats and dogs, but little Bai Xuehe still takes this as a pleasure and secretly tells it to himself.

He is a penny-pinching person, even if he is obedient for the time being, he will probably punish Xu Lingxiao again in the future.

Fu Jiying raised his finger and pointed to the hidden guard in the distance: "I'm going back first."

Bai Xuehe hurriedly saluted, but was stopped by Fu Jiying. The hidden guards came and led Fu Jiying to the carriage.

As soon as Fu Jiying left, Bai Xuehe hurried back to the mansion, and Bai Fu had already greeted him at the door, after making sure that there were no injuries on Bai Xuehe's body, Bai Fu heaved a sigh of relief and asked, "Did the emperor ask who that child is...? "

"What did the emperor ask?" Bai Xuehe turned his head, "If the emperor wants to know, he will naturally check."

Bai Fu hurriedly said: "Then you are not afraid..."

"What am I afraid of?" Bai Xuehe suddenly smiled, "It's just a picked up child, who do you think he is?"

Bai Fu didn't answer, Bai Xuehe hurriedly ran into the black egg room holding the candied haws, and the child sat on the bed holding the white cloth bag.

The snack guy's eyes lit up instantly, he stood up and asked in a low voice, "Bai Xuehe, what is this?"

Bai Xuehe was a little angry, stepped forward and pushed Heidan, but after thinking about it, he felt overwhelmed and slapped the child on the buttocks.

Heitan inexplicably puffed up his small face, his eyes widened pitifully, Bai Xuehe's heart melted at his sight, he still passed the candied haws over, and said softly: "Don't run around anymore, do you hear me?"

"I didn't run around..." Heidan replied softly, "I just..."

He stretched out his dirty little hand, and took out the white cloth bag behind him and opened it. There were some dry grass-like things in the cloth bag, some of which were still stained with mud. Bai Xuehe asked, "What is this?"

"This is herbal medicine. When I was injured, Ah Li used it to treat my illness." Heidan said softly, "You told me that I have no money, and I think it is right, so I found some medicinal materials and wanted to sell them." Drop it, but I asked a lot of people, and they don't want it..."

After hearing Bai Xuehe's words, Heidan immediately ran to the mountain to dig medicine. The mountain was far and high, and he worked so hard to get it down, but no one wanted to buy these good things.

Not only that, but he was pushed and shoved.

Thinking of this, Heidan felt very wronged, and his fingers got tangled together.

"I was wrong, what I said was wrong." Bai Xuehe didn't expect his words to be taken seriously, he was startled, wiped the dirt on those little hands, looked at the little scars on the fingertips, ran out and beat the basin When the hot water came back, he wiped his little hands and feet carefully. Heitan held the candied haws but didn't eat them.

"I am an adult, and you are a little... snake." Bai Xuehe also said softly, "So I should raise you, I was wrong before."

"Really?" After confirming that Bai Xuehe nodded again, the dissatisfaction in Heidan's heart disappeared immediately, and he began to eat candied haws. After eating for a while, he lowered his head and asked casually, "Why are they bullying you?"

"They..." Bai Xuehe was at a loss for words for a moment, and Heitan continued triumphantly: "When I grow up, they won't dare to bully you anymore, even big dogs are afraid of me."

Bai Xuehe saw that the dog was afraid of Heidan, but maybe it was because the dog was afraid that Heidan was a monster, but how could humans be afraid.Heidan is still thinking about growing up: "I don't know how old I am, but I feel like I won't grow up anyway, alas."

"It's good that you are like this." Bai Xuehe smiled, and wiped his cat face affectionately.

When the Bai Mansion was quiet, Fu Jiying had returned to the palace. Wei Lan appeared in casual clothes, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you check the child in Lord Bai's mansion?"

"It seems that you have searched, but you can't find anything." Fu Jiying poured a cup of tea for herself, "I heard that it is the child he picked up."

"This kid might have some background." Wei Lan said in a low voice, "It's because I'm incompetent."

"Let him keep it." Fu Jiying smiled, "You know about Bai Xuehe, and there are not many people in the court who don't know about it. Only the children he picked up will think that he is the most good person in the world. Hearing about Bai Xuehe The crane saved today's hero, but that person left in disgust, let him keep this life-saving straw."

Looking at Fu Jiying, Wei Lan felt a little hairy in her heart. After a while, she said, "Suddenly Master Bai doesn't care much about the monsters in the capital. Instead, he checked Xu Lingxiao."

"Don't worry about it." Fu Jiying continued to laugh and said, "Let him have fun by himself, it's not against the sky."

The night was still going on, and before Xun Luo returned to the restaurant, his things were thrown on the street. He stood for a while on the street full of thousands of people, reaching out to pick up the package, his waist still straight.

Even though he was sleeping on the side of the street, Xun Daxia still sleeps gracefully, and his hungry gurgling sounds better than others.

"Extreme Eye Sword." Suddenly came a voice that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, "Considering the sword technique."

"Who are you?" Xun Luo looked up.

"My name is Liyue." Liyue jumped down from the eaves, her black collar revealing a crimson corner, "I know the cause of your father Luo Cangxia's death, and I know how to avenge him. Come with me."
