I Am Your Father

Back to the starting point again.

So preoccupied and meditating all the way, Li Zhi finally caught sight of the silhouette sitting in front of the courtyard under the light of the snow before eating time.

He couldn't help but rubbed his eyes vigorously, then looked at the other person standing quietly beside Si Jie in disbelief.

This scene of Yu Chi carefully pushing Si Jie to bask in the sun in the courtyard is probably rare in a hundred years, but it is inexplicably harmonious.

The less harmonious person is him instead.

Not caring about continuing to sigh, he kicked up the mud-snow-covered rocks under his feet with a "snap", and flicked the tip of his finger harshly, and in an instant, he flicked towards the figure hiding behind the tree, and then he was about to put Yan on his back. Xiu threw it to Yu Chishen who had already caught his sight, flew to him in a few steps, and lifted him out.

He was in a state of confusion just now, and after being followed for a long time, he didn't realize it in time.

"Where did it come from—"

As a result, the question he blurted out hadn't finished yet, when he suddenly saw the familiar corner of the navy blue robe in his palm, he couldn't help but be taken aback.

Homeless?

Didn't he go to see Yan Jinghe with a few others?

Or was there a flaw seen?

Did he come to spy on him?

While his thoughts were spinning, he saw that the young man whose bones were almost broken by his finger seemed to turn a blind eye to his own situation, and there was no mess about his whereabouts. He just looked at him calmly and slowly stretched out his hand.

"Master, you were injured just now." Stains of sweat could be vaguely seen in the tightly clenched palms, on which was a pinch of sharp medicine half-wrapped in mulberry paper.

"..."

Fourth sister:? ? ?

139. North State

It took a while for Li Zhi to realize that Wugui was talking about the wound he inadvertently inflicted during the fight with Yan Xiu. It was just on the front of his neck. It was actually not deep, but some blood smeared on his skirt, which looked a little hideous.

But he still couldn't help being confused, and he didn't quite believe that the other party was trying to follow him, the reason was as simple as delivering medicine.

"It doesn't matter," he took it casually, squinted his eyes and asked again, "Aren't you going to ask Yan Jinghe on business? Are you afraid that he will blame you?"

His gaze slowly retracted from the palm that Li Zhi had inadvertently touched, and Wugui raised his eyes to look at Li Zhi.

"Since the leader is back, I will only obey the instructions of the leader."

"..." Hearing Wugui's so natural tone again, Li Zhi couldn't help but look at him a few more times, feeling an indescribable subtle feeling in his heart.

Probably, no one has ever expressed this kind of emotion that can be understood as "loyalty" to him. Even though Li Baier entrusted Jiujijiao to him as early as after he practiced to meet ghosts, he knew it well, and everyone feared and respected him. It has always been Li Baier, and he is more like a little devil who is highly expected and protected, but never enough to trust and follow, and calling him "Master" is just for Li Baier's face.

What's more, he really didn't care about the long-destined leader position, and even fled desperately after the Jiuji Cult was massacred, intending to live his life in that humble Duishui village, and put all thoughts of revenge behind him.

Unexpectedly, even for him who only wants to be comfortable like this, there are people who really want to follow him wholeheartedly?

Unlike other people who have to call him the leader, it is not because of his previous sworn assurance, but simply and firmly admits that he is the leader.

"I've been waiting for the leader." He said softly when he heard no return.

"Wait for me?" Li Zhi answered smoothly.

"Use the rest of my life to serve the leader."

"... Chick." For some reason, seeing him, an undifferentiated young man, make such a mature promise, regardless of whether it is true or false, Li Zhi is inevitably moved, but also a little funny.

"Could it be that...Yan Jinghe sent me to watch over me?"

Li Zhi asked deliberately, although his intuition told him that the firmness in the other party's eyes was not like a lie, but he still couldn't help probing: "I might as well tell you, although I am incompatible with the five factions, but Yan Jinghe's continuous calculations all the way, He also threatened my dog's life, and my relationship with him as a father and son is over. If you follow me sincerely, I will treat you well, but if you dare to collude with him secretly, I will not be lenient."

After Li Zhi said these words, he watched Wugui's reaction intently, and even took the expression on his face into his eyes.

I thought he was going to say something more to show his loyalty, but after waiting for a while, the other party stopped talking.

Until behind him, Yu Chishen was the first to break the unexpected silence, hugged Yan Xiu who was still in a coma with both arms, and walked up to Li Zhi with a blank expression: "What's wrong with him?"

"He's tired," Li Zhi turned to Yu Chi Shen and said, "Take him back to the house first, don't freeze him."

While frowning, Yu Chishen's gloomy gaze suddenly fell on the bruise on Yan Xiu's neck from being stunned by Li Zhi's palm, and it became sharper instantly.

"It's you?" He actually guessed, "You hurt him?"

"..." Li Zhi was naturally inconvenient to explain to him, "Ah, there was a fight."

His face turned darker in an instant, but because he thought it would be inconvenient to ask more questions right now, Yu Chishen just looked at Li Zhi for a moment, so that Li Zhi even doubted whether he had recovered his memory, so he turned and went back to the room without saying a word.

Suddenly there was no obstruction in front of his eyes, and Li Zhi's eyes fell on Si Jie who was sitting not far away.

"You pushed your patient friend into it..."

With a "bang", the door was closed by Yu Chi Shen.

Li Zhi raised his eyebrows, it was undeniable that seeing Yu Chishen's face of caring about Yan Xiu was much more pleasing to his eyes than before.

However, seeing sex and forgetting friends is really not very righteous.

Letting go of no return for now, he took a few steps and walked towards Si Jie.In the eyes of outsiders, he is naturally still a "disabled person" who has been tortured and demented by the water prison. At this moment, he is silently stopping in place, even if he meets Li Zhi's eyes, there is no ups and downs.

"Are you cold?" After all, Yan Jinghe has also acquiesced to the "fake love" between them, Li Zhi did not hide his concern, rubbing Si Jie's cold hand back and forth, and then pushed him towards the house. go.

He still needs to tell Si Jie about the situation in the small palace as soon as possible.

"Wait here for a while," he said to Wugui without turning his head, "I have something to ask you later."

"Is it about... the young master?"

Unexpectedly, Wugui was quick this time, followed by Li Zhi's words and asked back.

"..." Li Zhi stopped suddenly, knowing that the "little young master" he was talking about was Li Goudan.

Without waiting to open his mouth, he saw Wugui and said, "I can't think of a way to prove that I am not sent by Yan Jinghe to monitor the leader."

"But regarding the matter of the young master, I may... have some clues."

Hearing this, his face tightened, and Li Zhi's heart was shaken: "Have you seen him?"

Wugui shook his head, "I've never seen it before."

"It's just that after the incident at Fumensu Manggu, I once saw Yan Jinghe having a secret conversation with several people in the middle of the night."

"commune?"

"My skills... are still shallow, so I didn't rush forward, so I couldn't hear what they were saying." Wugui frowned slightly, obviously regretful, and even lowered his voice, "I just think those people are dressed a little weird .”

"Weirdly dressed..." As if some thoughts flashed, Li Zhi tightened his palm on the back of the chair, feeling the same dignified aura of Si Jie.

"Their faces are all covered by veils, and they also wear wide hoods on their heads, but their arms are all exposed, covered with tattoos, and their muscles are knotted..."

"That's—" Hearing these descriptions, Li Zhi's heart beat rapidly.

"Well," Wugui looked at Li Zhi and nodded, "I inquired about it later, it's the usual dress of Beizhou people."

"I also heard that Beizhou is often plagued by poisonous insects, so they are good at using strange poisons, and the tattoos on their bodies are also unusual. They are made of a mixture of many kinds of spices, making it difficult for poisonous insects to get close."

"..."

"But I'm not sure, the whereabouts of the young master is really related to them..."

Hearing no return and a slightly dazed tone, although there were still too many doubts, Li Zhi was undoubtedly shocked by this clue, like a thick ink that suddenly dripped into the bottom of his heart, and scattered, but he didn't know it. Where to start.

Yan Jinghe actually got involved with people from Beizhou, and everything became more complicated.

It's hard for Li Zhi to imagine that if the evil recipe that turned the world upside down also came from Beizhou, what kind of horror the conspiracy behind it would be, and what Yan Jinghe did was far beyond the scope of revenge.

He was stunned and suddenly felt that his fingertips were covered by Si Jie, and his mind froze for a while, and then he suddenly remembered a detail that Si Jie mentioned to him not long ago.

It's the strange fragrance from Chi Ke's body.

Could it be that Chi Ke has also been to Beizhou?

It was almost impossible to restrain the dense and rapid drumming in his heart, and the slight force between his fingers all showed that Si Jie was in line with his guess.

When he was in Jinlou, he seemed to have heard someone mention the scene of Si Jie confronting the barbarian masters from Beizhou. He thought that Si Jie had smelled a similar fragrance at that time, so he felt familiar with it.

So if Li Goudan was indeed taken away by Chi Ke, the most likely place for him now...

Is it Beizhou?

"..."

And just when Li Zhi couldn't calm down for a long time because of this sudden guess, he felt the figure in front of him suddenly take a step forward, he subconsciously dodged and looked over vigilantly.

It turned out that Wu Guizheng picked up the mulberry paper bag that he had accidentally dropped from the ground, didn't see Li Zhi's defense, just opened his eyes, tapped it with his fingertips, and then put it in his mouth.

"There is no problem with this medicine, the leader doesn't need to worry."

Listening to his low voice, there was still undisguised persistence in the clear and stubborn voice that belonged to the young man, Li Zhi scratched his nose uncomfortably, and he didn't know if it was an illusion, but he seemed to hear a little bit of grievance.

Then he coughed a few times, thinking that this kid really cared about him, and without hesitation, he snatched the paper bag from his hand, poured all the medicine foam into his palm, and wiped a few handfuls on his bloody neck indiscriminately: "This I'm pretty satisfied—"

I didn't think so
