Take the sword out of Yanjing

Who opens the door.

"Meng Zi!" Li Meng agreed loudly.

The job dragged Li Meng into the door, and Qu Linhan heard Li Meng's voice calling for help, as if he had been beaten by someone fat, but thinking that Li Meng was joking, it might be an exaggeration.

"I heard that your elder brother is here to pick you up." Although it's also Shifanglou's work, there are also serious people who only do dirty business and don't know martial arts.

The two teenagers in front of them leaned against the door enviously to watch Li Meng pack up his things.

"Yeah, this time I don't have to stay as a coolie." Li Meng said with a smile.

"What you do is considered hard labor, and we are considered hard labor! You kid knows how to be lazy all day long, when did you ever work hard!" the partner said angrily, thinking that Li Meng would not be woken up by his angry howl in the middle of the night when he was sleepwalking. in one breath.

"Yes, yes, it's all due to you." Li Meng thought for a while, then took out Zhao Luoyi's money bag, picked out two ingots of broken silver, and divided them among the two guys, "It's been half a year, thank you brothers for taking care of me. Li Meng will never forget the work you did for me and the steamed buns you ate."

The two buddies were chatting away, they didn't expect to have a windfall, and punched Li Meng at the same time.

In the other yard, the light in the counting room was dim, and Zhao Luoyi was holding a piece of paper with the names of nearly 20 people on it.

"For the time being, there are these people, and I dare not report to the old landlord. He is already a weak body in the wind, and I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on..." Mr. Chai Jin, the accountant, gave Zhao Luoyi a cold look, and immediately shut up.

"Thank you, Uncle Chai." Zhao Luoyi put away the list and turned to leave.

Chai Jin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"One more thing." Seeing Chai Jin wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, Zhao Luoyi said indifferently, "Uncle Chai, do you feel hot?"

"Ah, no, it's mid-spring, and it's getting warmer and everything is recovering. If the old landlord recovers, the brothers will feel more at ease and stabilize the people in the building." Chai Jin said, "What else?"

"Are these people still in Ruizhou?" Zhao Luoyi asked.

"They are all there. I have already notified Taotie, and I haven't assigned them any missions yet. Hongfeng, Gu Mu, An Hezhi disappeared after leaving the mission. It was only later found out that they were hooked up with Sulinge, and they never came back. There are a lot of secrets in the building, as you know, they are often involved in a wide range of situations. Before the time is up, let Jinshang find out, which may cause turmoil in the current situation. I am not worried about the officials. After the Beidi people were beaten out, they have been watching. Like three years ago..." Chai Jin folded his hands in his sleeves and sighed.

"I'll deal with it when I get back."

Chai Jin looked up at Zhao Luoyi with his yellow and cloudy eyes, shook his head and said: "If you really betray, you can't stay, you just let go and do it."

Zhao Luoyi said "Yes", said goodbye, and closed the door for Chai Jin.

"Master!" Li Meng was sitting downstairs in the yard.

The corners of Zhao Luoyi's mouth unconsciously drew a very slight arc, and he jumped down the stairs. With his right hand behind his back, he landed firmly in front of Li Meng.

"Go." Zhao Luoyi asked Li Meng as he walked, "How much did it cost?"

"I don't know. I asked Qu Linhan to do it. I bought a carriage. By the way, there are two guys working together in the backyard. I gave each of them a little silver to thank them for taking care of them."

Zhao Luoyi nodded, "It should."

"Are you allowed to see Grand Master this time?" Li Meng had never met Wen Xu, but from Zhao Luoyi's description, he kind of wanted to see Wen Xu, maybe because he was the one who took care of Zhao Luoyi when he grew up.

"We'll talk when we get there." Zhao Luoyi pushed Li Meng into the carriage, and asked Qu Linhan to sit in as well, and he drove the carriage.After a loud "drive", Zhao Luoyi turned to the car and said, "We're at South Street near the city gate, Qu Linhan, you hide under the car, how is your hand strength?"

"Yes." Qu Linhan glanced at Li Meng.

"Don't be nervous, Master will save you if you fall." Li Meng said.

"I'll stop the car and let you hold onto it before you go. I don't care if it falls. You have to go out of the city today. Tomorrow Cai Rong's men will pile up in Lingzhou, and you will be finished." Zhao Luoyi's voice came from outside the carriage.

"..." Li Meng looked at Qu Linhan regretfully, and stuffed Heipang into his arms to comfort him.

However, the envisaged danger did not happen, just in time for the soldiers at the gate of the city to have lunch, and the inspection was lax, so they took a casual look in the car and let them go out.

The carriage left the city and headed northwest at high speed.

After about a cup of tea, Qu Linhan finally couldn't take it anymore, and yelled under the car: "Stop! If you don't stop, I'll die!"

Qu Linhan crawled out from under the car in disgrace, Li Meng laughed and was sent by Zhao Luoyi to find some water, the carriage was parked in the field, there was a stream not far away, the sound of the stream flowing could be heard here.

Seeing Li Meng walking away, Zhao Luoyi took out the golden hairpin and jade pendant from his bosom, and asked Qu Linhan, "Whose are these?"

"My father gave it to my little mother."

"Your father is rich."

"They were all taken away by the adulterer." Qu Linhan sneered.

"They are all ordinary ornaments, did Wang Ba do anything with them?" Zhao Luoyi asked.

Qu Linhan's eyes flickered, he lowered his head and held his face, as if he really didn't want to mention his little mother, but he still replied: "My father treats my little mother as if his heart is so painful, he doesn't know how to play tricks, and doing tricks is also doing my mother a favor."

Zhao Luoyi didn't ask any further questions. Not far away, Li Meng hung the bamboo tube filled with water on his wrist and came back.

Li Meng flushed Qu Linhan's face absent-mindedly. The water flowed down the bridge of Qu Linhan's nose and rushed to his forehead. Qu Linhan washed his face like chasing away mosquitoes.

The light refracted by the water droplets rolling over the skin reminded Li Meng of Zhao Luoyi's sexy male body.

"Li Meng! Where are you going!"

Li Meng came back to his senses and saw that the water had already rushed up to Qu Linhan's neck, making water all over his front, so he quickly wiped it off for him.

The two got into the car, Qu Linhan was shivering from the cold, Li Meng hugged the cat, the black cat struggled out in disgust, stuck its head between Li Meng's legs to keep warm, and stopped moving.

Qu Linhan had no choice but to bear it. At night, Li Meng saw that he was cold, and advised him to wear his own robe and change into dry clothes, so that he felt better.Li Meng had already fallen asleep leaning on the carriage, the carriage was still moving forward, the body was bumping, and the doors were clapping non-stop. Whenever the gap opened, Qu Linhan would vaguely see Zhao Luoyi's Wei'an's back in a daze. In Linhan's fantasy, Qiongqi should be a ferocious wolf, but when he closes his eyes, he always sees Zhao Luoyi's attitude towards Li Meng, indifferent yet infinitely intimate.If Zhao Luoyi is willing to protect her like this in the future, she can serve him tea and water for the rest of her life as a disciple, and when she gets old and dies, there is nothing wrong with crying when she dies.

Qu Linhan turned sideways and changed his position, resting his head on Li Meng's lap.

On the same day, the letter harrier released from Lingzhou flew to Ruizhou.

The author has something to say: Well, brothers and sisters will love each other, especially after the death(?) of the master...

☆、Cub

When they arrived at a village, Zhao Luoyi woke up the two little ones and ate three bowls of haggis noodles. Li Meng was not awake at all, but Qu Linhan was very vigilant, peeking around curiously while eating the noodles.

"Have you never been to the Northwest?" Zhao Luoyi picked up the haggis to Li Meng, and drank the hot soup at hand.

Following his example, Qu Linhan also took a sip of the soup first. The soup had a lot of spices added, and after one mouthful, his whole body became hot.

Li Meng's face flushed after eating the noodles.

"I haven't been out in Dayao Village since I was born, a villager." I don't know if it's because of fever or embarrassment, Qu Linhan's face is also a little red.

"It's better to have a small place in a small place. It's peaceful and tranquil." Thinking of something, he said again: "Your father must have disturbed the tranquility of the entire Dayao Village." Zhao Luoyi beckoned to call the boss, added three cakes, and tore them into pieces Soak it in soup and eat it, "Eat more, you may not be able to arrive at the next stop for lunch." Take Li Meng's bowl, soak half a cake for him, and stare at Li Meng to finish eating.

"The village chief talks to my father every New Year's day, hoping that my father will move to a big place, saying that he will bury my father." Qu Linhan said.

Zhao Luoyi sneered.

Li Meng ate less, so he finished eating first, and sat paralyzed with his chubby belly in his arms. Suddenly, he saw something, and jumped up and lay down on Zhao Luoyi's shoulders.

Qu Linhan immersed himself in drinking the soup, the hot air made the circles of his eyes red.

"Ambala." Li Mengpan whispered in Zhao Luoyi's ear, Zhao Luoyi bent down slightly, and calmly said to the boss: "Make ten more cakes and cut two catties of beef."

The snake-headed staff swayed with a crisp sound, and the terrifying snake patterns climbed on the side faces of the foreigners. Each of them led a horse, and they walked forward in a mighty manner. People on the street saw them and avoided them.

Zhao Luoyi packed her things, put her arms around Li Meng's shoulders, walked into the shop with her head down, and waited for the beef to be cut.

Qu Linhan also finished eating, so he followed.

"Boss, there is something delicious, let the brothers get some." Daqin said bluntly.

Zhao Luoyi lowered his head, and kept tapping on the cutting board beside the meat cutting board. The waiter raised his head to look at him. Zhao Luoyi pointed outside, frowning in displeasure.

A group of foreigners just sat down outside and filled all the seats on the stall in front of the door.

Zhao Luoyi pointed to the curtain leading to the courtyard on the side.

The waiter understood, wrapped up the sliced ​​meat, and said in a low voice: "Guest officer, follow me this way."

The three of them passed by the inner courtyard of the store and walked out from the back door. Zhao Luoyi gave the clerk a little more money, and said in a deep voice, "Our carriage is still ahead, and we need your help. Don't alarm those foreigners."

The clerk accepted the bounty which was much more than the meal price, nodded and bowed his waist and said: "Master, don't worry."

The man ran out, Zhao Luoyi frowned and touched his chin.

"Master is not old! I shaved my beard up to three or eight times!" Li Meng looked obsessively at Zhao Luoyi's slightly worn-out face.

Zhao Luoyi: "..."

The front foot of the carriage left the village, the sky changed suddenly, and it began to drizzle.

Raindrops wet Zhao Luoyi's face, Li Meng kept yelling in the car to let Zhao Luoyi go in to shelter from the rain.

"Find out the coir raincoat!" Zhao Luoyi roared in the rain, but didn't go inside. He looked up at the gloomy sky, and his ears that were wet and shiny moved deftly.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and a coir raincoat was spread over Zhao Luoyi's head. Li Meng lay on Zhao Luoyi's back, and the coir raincoat covered the two of them.

In the small square world, Zhao Luoyi turned her face away, glanced back from the corner of her eye, her face was close to Li Meng's, Li Meng casually kissed him on the cheek, and looked back, only to see the rain, the sky was dark and unclear , Can't see what else is on the official road.

"Have they come after you?" Li Meng asked nervously, his body swayed, and Zhao Luoyi was almost thrown into the car by him.

"Don't move!" Zhao Luoyi roared angrily.

"Oh!" Li Meng said loudly, his body still swaying back and forth.

"Go and stay in the car." Zhao Luoyi said.

"No! You must shield Master from the wind and rain!"

The corners of Zhao Luoyi's mouth curled up slightly, with a disgusted expression on his face: "Go, don't make trouble. Qu Linhan, take care of your junior brother and cat."

"Hey!"

Qu Linhan hugged Li Meng's waist and led him in. Li Meng yelled to himself, "Why am I a junior! I started early! No, master, you can't do this! Uh..." Li Meng tried his best Glaring at Qu Linhan who was holding his mouth, Qu Linhan had a rogue smile on his face. After leaving Wangjiazhuang, the bitter Qu Linhan showed an innocent smile for the first time. Li Meng couldn't see that he was happy, and his feet were messed up. pedal.

"You..." Zhao Luoyi got kicked in the back, turned around and stared.

Qu Linhan hurriedly hugged Li Meng and dragged him into the car. The sound of the horse's hooves came to Zhao Luoyi's ears. He closed the car door, turned the corner of his mouth, and squinted his eyes to look back.

The gust of wind and rain poured down like a water dragon, and as the sound of horseshoes approached, Zhao Luoyi shook off his coir raincoat casually and waved away.

Suddenly, a copper staff blocked the coir raincoat, causing Ambala to fall off his horse and roll in the mud, making his dark face even more difficult to see clearly.

In the car, Li Meng's legs were hugged by Qu Linhan, trying to open the car door, but the door was closed tightly, motionless, changed direction, climbed onto the rear panel, opened a gap in the car curtain, and yelled loudly: "It's fighting!"

The carriage was faster than a mad horse, the body bumped back and forth, Qu Linhan couldn't hold Li Meng's legs, and the front of the carriage was heavily pressed down.

Qu Linhan slid towards the car door and sat down on the car door. Li Meng couldn't help grabbing the waistband of his trousers and shouting, "Let go, you're going to grab my trousers off!"

It only accelerated for a while, and Ambala was delayed again. At this moment, the horse team was temporarily left behind. Zhao Luoyi flew up, and the unloaded carriage slid into the forest with inertia, and a long mark was formed under the wheels.

There was no Zhao Luoyi standing in front of the car door, and someone rolled out, Qu Linhan was soaked, sitting in the mud shivering.The body stabilized, and the huge wheels made the carriage level again. Li Meng got out of the carriage with the cat in his arms, feeling dizzy for a while. Zhao Luoyi hugged him to the top of the tree and ordered: "Hold on to the trunk, if I don't come, You two can't come down."

Immediately afterwards, Qu Linhan was also pushed up a tree by Zhao Luoyi.

Zhao Luoyi held the tree between his legs, and the water dripping from the tree covered his face.

Li Meng leaned over and grabbed Zhao Luoyi's cold fingers. If Qu Linhan hadn't caught him by the back quickly, Li Meng would have fallen off the tree.

Zhao Luoyi supported Li Meng's waist with both hands, sent him upwards, and said seriously: "Take care of your junior brother."

"Master!"

Li Meng yelled loudly, Zhao Luoyi turned to look at him, Li Meng was still holding onto his fingers, Qu Linhan's round eyes were also full of surprise, vaguely guessing that the person who came was not good.

Zhao Luoyi withdrew her arm and kissed Li Meng's fingers between her lips. Regardless of the astonishment on Qu Linhan's face, she said in a deep voice, "If I don't come back before dark, you two will go first. Li Meng knows the way. We are in Ruizhou Meet at Shifanglou."

Fingers slipped out of Li Meng's wet palm, and Zhao Luoyi's tall and steady figure was hidden in the rain. He grabbed the carriage with one hand and dragged it away with amazing arm support.

……

Anbala and the others finally caught up with the carriage, and found that the carriage was parked in the middle of the road, motionless. Anbala waved his arm and made a gesture, and the people behind him all slowed down, not daring to move forward.

Anbala withdrew his right leg, swung the snake-headed staff, and the copper staff swirled out in mid-air. With a loud bang, the carriage was hit and exploded, and one person jumped out from behind the carriage.

The carriage turned over, and Zhao Luoyi landed on the upturned wheel, rubbing the tobacco leaves slowly, but it was raining too much, and it didn't ignite after lighting it twice, carefully put away the flint, and carefully put away the wet tobacco leaves.With the enemy at hand, Zhao Luoyi seemed just annoyed that he couldn't smoke a cigarette.

Anbala put away the snake-headed staff and took a slow step forward. Seeing that Zhao Luoyi hadn't attacked, he took another five steps forward and shouted: "The Holy Son is weak, order me to come and fetch the high priest back, and invite the high priest Don't embarrass your subordinates."

Zhao Luoyi said indifferently: "I have something to do."

"If the Holy Son cannot successfully inherit the throne, I am afraid that the high priest will have difficulties in returning to the tribe in the future. The Holy Son said..."

"I don't know." Zhao Luoyi said.

Ambara's face was not very good-looking, and his palms were clenched tightly on the snake head staff.

"If you have children, you should pay homage to Guanyin, I won't go to Nanmei with you." The bong whirled in Zhao Luoyi's hands. He stood proudly in front of him like an eagle, and shot out from his squinting eyes. emit a sharp light.

"Offended!" A hoarse voice came from Ambala's throat. He raised his neck and roared to the sky, giving orders in Nanmei dialect that Zhao Luoyi could not understand.

More than a dozen people formed in an orderly manner. Ambala retreated with one foot, and was held up in the air by two big men in front of the formation. From the opened lips, there was a hissing sound like a poisonous tongue spitting out a letter, and the copper snake head made a deep sound due to vibration.

Zhao Luoyi sat on the wheel with her legs crossed, glanced casually at the dense forest to the east, smashed the huge wheel with one palm, and rose into the air amidst the exploding sawdust.

Anbala shouted loudly, his eyes were red, and the veins on the side of his neck were bulging, and he threw himself forward.

……

"No." Thinking of Zhao Luoyi's injuries every time he came back, Li Meng couldn't sit still, one thing jumped into his mind, Li Meng rushed over and rolled up Qu Linhan's sleeves, revealing the bright red brand on his upper arm, " Is this used against cavalry?"

Qu Linhan met Li Meng's gaze, "You want me to make a set of hooks?"

Li Meng stared eagerly, "Is it okay?"

"There is no metal, and the rope is hard to find." Qu Linhan wondered.

A large stretch of tangled vines in the forest caught the eyes of the two brothers, and Qu Linhan's heart moved, "You can try it, I have some darts and short knives in my luggage."

The hope that was gradually burning made the two of them stop hesitating. Li Meng's qinggong was good, he pulled out the dagger in his boot, cut off dozens of vines of different lengths, and according to Qu Linhan's command, twisted them into "hempy" vines. rope".Li Meng turned a blind eye to the bleeding bubbles in his palms, and the rain gradually became smaller. He wrapped the vines with his robe to make them less slippery.

After a while, Qu Linhan pieced together a set of yan hooks from memory, pulled the two ends of the rope, and shook his arms to try it out. The rope was very strong, so he nodded to Li Meng.

"Then let's go, deploy the trap first, and then lure Master away. The Nanmei people will definitely mount their horses and pursue them. You are responsible for leading them into the formation." The rain dripped down Li Meng's plump forehead, and his eyes were unprecedentedly determined. .

During the Qu Linhan period, Ai La stayed with Li Meng, "This is my first time doing this, if I fail..."

"What are you afraid of? At worst, let's fight head-to-head!" Li Meng laughed.

Qu Linhan's eyes were wide open, the corners of his mouth were slightly curved, and he nodded firmly, "Yes, it's a big deal to fight! Don't hold back."

Li Meng kicked it, put the black cat down on the spot, reluctantly left his wet and soft fur, and said in a low voice, "Don't run around, we will come back to find you."

The black cat lazily lifted its hind feet and scratched its neck.

Li Meng and Qu Linhan stepped into the rain, relying on the direction of the sound of fighting, carefully approaching the source of the sound.

……

Two figures, one black and one blue, were intertwined, where Zhao Luoyi punched and landed, the Nanmei people rushed forward, were repelled and quickly made up for it, but I don't know what kind of evil skills Nanmei have practiced, the formation together is weird , the moves were not according to the usual method, if Zhao Luoyi hadn't fought against them twice, he might have fallen short.

The snake-headed stick hit Zhao Luoyi's calf directly, and Zhao Luoyi kicked Anbala out of his chest.

It is this moment.

Li Meng, who was lying in the dark, shouted loudly: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!! Master help!"

Zhao Luoyi straightened up and hit directly, the bong flew out, Ambara's right shoulder was in severe pain, almost pierced by the blow, his body flew back uncontrollably before he got up, and all his subordinates were captured by the leader a sweep.

As soon as the Nanmei people's formation was broken, Ambala's men rushed to help him up, and the two in the lead chattered anxiously at Ambala.

The strong internal force diffused in Ambara's internal organs, and he suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood.

The Nanmei people were even more frightened. They pulled Ambala up and shook him for a while, and Ambala suddenly let out a loud cry.

Only then did the two Nanmei big men realize that something was wrong. Anbala raised the snake-headed staff, and gave each of them a stick on the forehead. With the support of his subordinates, he straightened up, but it was difficult to catch up with Zhao Luoyi, and hurriedly urged everyone to get on the horse.

"Master, help!!!! Help, Master!!! They are going to kill me!!! If you don't come, Master, I will die!!! Die!!!" Li Meng howled so that his throat was a little dry, and his hands were After fumbling around in the bag for a long time, he just lifted the water bag, pressed the bag with his fingers, a jet of water sprayed into his mouth, swallowed his throat, Li Meng was rowed heavily from behind, and immediately the jet of water poured into his nose.

"..." Li Meng choked so hard that the corners of his eyes turned red and his throat felt hot.

Zhao Luoyi stood behind him expressionlessly, holding his collar like a weak chicken.

"What's going on?" Zhao Luoyi said, as if Li Meng didn't give a satisfactory answer, he would throw him out casually.

Li Meng shrank his neck and kicked his feet and shouted: "Qu Linhan went to set up a trap, as long as the Nanmei people ride horses, he can take care of it!"

Zhao Luoyi frowned slightly, remembering that Wang Ba sold the agency to Sulinge back then, and temporarily let Li Meng go, but fearing that Qu Linhan would not be able to complete the task smoothly, he said in a deep voice, "I'll go back and have a look."

"Master!" Li Meng hugged Zhao Luoyi's arm tightly like a piece of brown sugar.

"Don't make trouble!" Zhao Luoyi said, tore Li Meng off his arm, and was about to push his hand away, when Li Meng suddenly stepped forward and kissed Zhao Luoyi's lips indiscriminately.

After the kiss, Li Meng panted heavily, "Don't fight hard, you can't lead them to a place where they can attack easily."

"Don't worry about me." Zhao Luoyi said.

"You are too heavy. If the two of us run with you, we will not be able to run fast."

"..." Zhao Luoyi raised his hand and wanted to punch Li Meng's butt, then he landed on Li Meng's cheek, and gently patted him twice, "Let's go."

Li Meng raised his energy and used lightness kung fu, returned to the forest to find the black cat, put the cat in his bag, and then returned to the place separated from Zhao Luoyi. The bushes half a person's height hid his figure tightly, and his whole body was wet with muddy water Even his trousers were cold and sticky. Li Meng lay quietly in the bushes, eyes wide open, waiting for the two most important men in his life to appear.This is the first time Li Meng felt that the three of them are one. In this world, they have no relatives. Now they are the last cornerstone of each other. They must trust and cooperate with each other, otherwise, no one can escape safely.

And he was almost able to obey Zhao Luoyi and leave with Qu Linhan.At this moment, Li Meng was extremely fortunate that he chose to pull Qu Linhan into Zhao Luoyi's camp, instead of him and Qu Linhan shrinking into cubs that would never grow up.

☆, brother

The shrill horse neighing accompanied by whining wind faintly passed into Li Meng's ears, which once made him wonder if he had hallucinations. After all, he had already lay down in the bushes until his pants were soaked, and his trouser legs were covered with mud, similar to a farmer who went to the ground.

After the rain stopped, the sky showed a warm orange-red color, and just when Li Meng wanted to go out to find someone, the black cat meowed beside his neck, and a figure walked in from the end of his field of vision, no, ran in.

Li Meng got up quickly, and Zhao Luoyi ran close, followed by Qu Linhan, half of Qu Linhan's cheeks were covered with blood spots that turned into stars.

"Let's go!" Zhao Luoyi lifted Li Meng's collar, and Li Meng ran after his master and brother.

After running two miles away, seeing no one chasing him, Zhao Luoyi rubbed his fingers against his lips and whistled. The sound of hooves made Li Meng puzzled.

Are the Nanmei people chasing them?

"Master... shall we... stop running?" Qu Linhan asked in confusion, he couldn't help looking around, the wild land was vast, it was approaching evening, the four corners of the sky were low pressure, as if it was about to suffocate people to death in the night.

"It seems to be..." Li Meng saw the two horses galloping over, and exclaimed in surprise, "Our horses!"

Two horses who didn't know where they hid came galloping over, one of them was dark brown, with a light mane that was almost milky white. Li Meng recognized that it was Zhao Luoyi's horse, which was brought out from Jingyang Hou Mansion.

"Get on the horse!" Zhao Luoyi urged Qu Linhan, and hugged Li Meng onto the horse by the waist, leaving his palms away from his buttocks, turned over and sat in front, grabbed Li Meng's wristband around his waist, and shouted loudly. The horse let go of its hooves and hurried to Ruizhou.

They rushed on the road overnight, until the evening of the next day, the three masters and apprentices ate something casually in a village and continued on the road.

Li Meng leaned on Zhao Luoyi's back attached, sleeping and waking up from time to time, when he woke up and saw that he was still there, he hugged Zhao Luoyi to sleep again.When asked to dismount, he opened his belly to eat.Zhao Luoyi is tall and has a broad and thick back, which is comfortable to hold. Li Meng only feels that even if there are thousands of troops chasing them, as long as Zhao Luoyi is around, nothing will happen.

After galloping all the way, at noon on the seventh day, they finally arrived at Ruizhou Capital.Li Meng is no longer familiar with Ruizhou. This is the place where he grew up. Although he was only a few years old at that time, he will never forget the yard where he played since he was a child, and the big tortoise raised in the big water tank in the yard. It doesn't rain a few times throughout the year, and if the maid who serves him forgets to oil his face, at the turn of autumn and winter, his tender face will crack and open, like the lines on the back of a turtle.He also collected the shells that the tortoises had replaced and hid them under the rocks behind the persimmon trees planted in the old house.

"Here we are." Zhao Luoyi carried Li Meng off the horse.

Qu Linhan just rode in from the entrance of the alley, reined in hastily, and saw the golden signboard of Shifanglou.

There are two jade lions squatting at the door. Shifanglou earns a lot of money every year. Ruizhou is located in the northwest. If Li Meng's father hadn't entered Zhong'an City with the wrong master back then, he would be like an emperor in this area. Occupy the mountain as king.

The past has disappeared, Li Meng shook his head and left the old things behind.

Zhao Luoyi went up and knocked on the door.

Seeing that it was Zhao Luoyi, the two gatekeepers hurriedly bowed their fists and saluted respectfully, "Uncle Zhao is back."

Zhao Luoyi gave an indifferent "Yes" and told them both, "Take the horse and tie it up."

Li Meng hooked his fingers to Qu Linhan, motioning him to follow, Qu Linhan was looking around all the way, obviously feeling novel, Li Meng couldn't help thinking that the first time he came to Shifanglou was at night, and he didn't have time to see clearly. He was assigned to Xue Mutou to take him with him for two years.Xue Mutou is Taotie's only apprentice, he is almost twenty years old, he is honest and honest, but his reaction is a bit slow, everyone in the building calls him Mumu.

That night, Zhao Luoyi went on a mission, which lasted for more than half a year.

Li Meng stepped forward, boldly hooked Zhao Luoyi's finger and shook it, Zhao Luoyi turned around and patted his head like a dog.

At first Li Meng thought that he was going to see his Grand Master. Although he joined Zhao Luoyi's sect, Zhao Luoyi obviously didn't take his apprentices seriously before.Li Meng couldn't help but glanced at Qu Linhan with a little jealousy, he was also an apprentice, how could he be treated so badly?

Qu Linhan was baffled by the sight, and leaned forward, "Junior Brother, why is this place so big..."

"There are a lot of people living there." Li Meng said casually, realizing that this road was not going to the building where his Grand Master lived.Although he has never been there, there is a tall building among the ten square buildings that can be admired everywhere in Ruizhou. He vaguely heard Xue Mutou talk about it. Warn him not to kill him because of his curiosity.

And if Zhao Luoyi hadn't told Li Meng so much about the origin of Shifanglou, he would have known nothing about Wen Xu. Now that he knew, he only had the impression that he was an infatuated and gentle man, and this was his Grand Master, so Zhao Luoyi must value love and righteousness, and will not abandon him.

Qu Linhan poked Li Meng with his elbow, and Li Meng glared at him.

"Where are we going?" Qu Linhan swallowed, "This place is too big, don't you usually get lost?"

"The killers in the building are haunted, and the disciples obey the rules. Everyone knows where they should be active, and they will never wander around." Li Meng squinted and thought of teasing, "The kitchen is over there." Fang Fang pouted, Li Meng already realized that Zhao Luoyi didn't want to take them to see Wen Xu, this direction became more and more remote, it should be to the courtyard where Zhao Luoyi lived.

"If you get hungry in the middle of the night, you can go there to find something to eat."

Qu Linhan folded his hands in his sleeves, shrank his neck and shook his head, "I won't go, I won't be able to find it when I go."

Li Meng was noncommittal, thinking about his own affairs.

Back at Shifanglou, Zhao Luoyi first placed the two young ones in his yard, which was remote and close to the outer wall of Shifanglou.The courtyard was lush with flowers and plants, and it seemed that someone took care of it, but as soon as the door was opened, Li Meng and Qu Linhan sneezed.

The blowing dust almost buried them both.

"I'm going to run some errands and clean up the yard." Zhao Luoyi took out a bong from his bag and put it on his back, then left.

Li Meng and Qu Linhan fetched water and cleaned the tables, chairs and windows that needed to be wiped. After sweeping the floor, Li Meng dug out some incense from the drawer under the cabinet to light it.

Both of them were exhausted from the journey, so they simply lay down and fell asleep, but Li Meng randomly assigned Qu Linhan a room and asked him to sleep there.

Qu Linhan was not picky, nor dared to be picky.

When Li Meng woke up, Zhao Luoyi hadn't come back yet. He opened the door and went out, and saw Qu Linhan picking up the flowers and plants in the yard. tools, I’ll pack them casually.”

Li Meng blushed, and then remembered that he might have given Qu Linhan the room where the sundries were piled up.

But Qu Linhan didn't seem to mind much, he pruned the flowering branches, and buried some of the cut branches in the soil, his movements were very skillful, as if he often took care of them at home.Li Meng also thought that there was no one in his family, and he had to do everything by himself. He could even burn wood and light a fire. He didn't have to worry about anything else, he didn't have to worry about anything else, Zhenri followed Zhao Luoyi's internal formulas but only practiced a little idle kung fu, so he didn't suffer much.Anyway, people are like this, without a worse reference object, they always feel that life is difficult.

Now that Qu Linhan appeared, Li Meng often felt happier.

Li Meng blushed a little because of his narrow mind, and squatted in front of Qu Linhan, asking him to teach him how to grow flowers.

Qu Linhan patiently explained to him.

"Is that so?" Li Meng finished burying himself, and saw Qu Linhan looking up at the moon-watching cave gate.

"I won't take you to see the grand master tonight, and I will go to the dining hall with me to eat later, and I will take you out tonight." Zhao Luoyi's voice came, Li Meng straightened the newly buried branch, and patted Qu Linhan the back of the head.

Only then did Qu Linhan come back to his senses, and said with a sneer, "Yes, that's it, it's very simple, haven't you learned it all?"

Zhao Luoyi walked into the room alone.

Qu Linhan carefully grabbed Li Meng's arm and asked, "Master seems to be in a bad mood, what's the matter?"

"I don't know." Li Meng washed his hands and took two wet handprints on Qu Linhan's robe.

Qu Linhan didn't argue with him, and then asked him: "Who were the people we met that day? Do you feel that Master is hiding something from us?"

Zhao Luoyi asked Qu Linhan to take good care of his younger brother, and now Qu Linhan regarded Li Meng as his own, and speaking of it, no matter how close the apprentice was, he and the master always had a generational relationship, just like the private school Mr. A teacher is like a friend, but in the end a teacher is a teacher, and Qu Linhan as "we" Li Meng is quite pleasing to the ears.

"Didn't you hear from your father about the Shifang Building?" Li Meng turned away and took a look. Zhao Luoyi not only entered the room, but also closed the door. It was not good for the two apprentices to mutter at the door.

"Let's talk in my room." Li Meng pushed Qu Linhan to get up.

"Wait a minute, I wash my hands."

Qu Linhan entered the room with wet hands, Li Meng handed him a towel, and poured out a cup of hot tea to warm his hands.

"Let's make do, I haven't been back for a long time, and there doesn't seem to be any good tea in the house. Just this, I found it by rummaging through the boxes."

Qu Linhan smiled embarrassedly: "It's been a long time since I dared to sit down and drink a cup of tea. In Dayao Village, I was always worried about who would come and make trouble."

Li Meng nodded understandingly, and patted Qu Linhan on the shoulder, "From now on, Master and I will be your relatives."

Qu Linhan smiled and said nothing.

"Shifanglou makes a living by running a car dealership on the surface, but secretly holds a hidden intelligence network. Doing this requires extreme secrecy. No one can guarantee that they know everyone in the building. Now I can call you in Shifanglou. There are no more than ten fingers who can figure out the name, and no more than twenty people who can recognize the face. From receiving to sending out the task, the middle link is very complicated. In order to avoid leaking, except for the four major killers, the identities of the others Secret. Some people look like killers, but they may not have actually killed people. Some people look harmless to humans and animals, and they may have a lot of blood on their hands."

Seeing Qu Linhan's face changed, Li Meng hurriedly said: "It's not that as long as someone pays for a head, he will take it. In the past, Brother Mu said that in fact, these people who were killed were carrying life debts, and most of them were dogs biting dogs." , it’s just that Shifanglou made this tool in the middle, and people who are about to die will spit out a lot of secrets.”

Qu Linhan nodded, still showing lingering fear.

"Don't worry, we won't be sent on a mission." Li Meng patted Qu Linhan's shoulder reassuringly.

"why?"

"What ability do we have, whether to kill or be killed, at least within the past three years, there is no possibility of sending you to kill." Li Meng remembered that when he was in the Jingyang Marquis Mansion, Zhao Luoyi asked Qu Linhan to think clearly, if with It is impossible to clean his hands, and thinking that Xue Mutou is completely taking over from Taotie now, and before he left Shifanglou, that idiot Xue Mutou had already had two lives on his hands, and felt Qu
