Let's talk about today

"Today..." Xia Houyuan woke up in a daze. He wanted to wake up Li Jinzhao by the way, but no one answered him after a long time.

Xia Houyuan touched his side, but it was cold and empty.

He woke up suddenly, looking straight at the empty space beside him.

After being stunned for a long time, he didn't care about getting dressed, he put on his coat hastily and ran outside.At the gate of the yard, the guard stopped him, and he was still sleepy from the voice, "What are you doing so early in the morning..."

Xia Houyuan's face was sullen, "Did you see the person with me?"

The guard yawned loudly, "He, he left just after dawn!"

Xia Houyuan stared at him, "Really?"

The guard only felt his whole body trembling, and suddenly he regained consciousness, and nodded desperately, "everything I said is true! Our village master knows that the young man is gone!"

"Didn't you say anything before you left?" He frowned.

The guard shook his head desperately again.

Xia Houyuan seemed to have a big blank in his heart, walked into the room in a daze, and closed the door.

Obviously, I should feel relieved, but I can't help but feel lost.Although he left the stockade, Feng Han still hasn't healed... According to his personality, he should be a person who doesn't worry about him, but he didn't expect that he would change roles one day...

Xia Houyuan smiled wryly, opened the window, and saw that cooking smoke had risen in the village.The guard of his own courtyard was resting against a pile of straw at the door.

There are already a few big men who have started to practice, and the weather is still cold, but those people are only wearing single clothes, with sweat on their foreheads.

Xia Houyuan stretched his arms and legs, and while looking at the situation outside the window, he wondered whether he could knock down half of the bandits in the village now.After thinking about it, I found it a bit tricky.But what came to mind was the time when Yemojiao in the Western Regions of Mobei forced his master to leave the mountain.The scene where the old man defeated a group of Yemo believers by himself...

He suddenly gritted his teeth and said: "Damn old man, you are still hiding your housekeeping skills!"

Just as he was thinking like this, the sound of "chirp chirp chirp" appeared beside him.The sound is soft and waxy, which is different from the general sparrow sound.

Xia Houyuan raised his head, his eyes lit up, and he stretched out his hand, and the blood harrier with rouge feathers neatly landed on his shoulder.

Xia Houyuan raised his eyebrows at the bird, "What? That old man told you to come and find me?"

The bird chirped with emerald eyes, and called "chirp chirp chirp" three times.

He took down a thin note from the foot of the blood harrier, and on it were the six words of fairy style:

Don't make me find you.

The last haze in Xia Houyuan's eyes disappeared, and he walked to the small table, thought for a while, and wrote back.

"Muzhou City is still far away from here. It may take a few days before you get there." The young man in ocher clothes smiled and threw the kettle into Li Jinchao's hand.

Li Jinchao thanked him, raised his head and took a few sips, wiped his mouth and said, "Brother, do you know how far the county government is from here?"

The young man said: "Didn't you go to Muzhou City and ask the county government what to do?"

Li Jinzhao sighed, "To tell you the truth, my friend and I were going to Muzhou City. We didn't want to be betrayed by a coachman and kidnapped by a bandit when we passed the border between Wuzhou and Qingzhou. The bandit detained my friend. Let me fetch the silver and redeem him."

The young man laughed, "No wonder you are so worried."

Li Jinzhao hummed.

He got up at dawn, but he hadn't seen the inn when it was dark.Good luck meeting this young man.Seeing that he was well dressed and handsome, Li Jinzhao was not wary.He admits that he has seen a lot of people, and the spirit on the brows of this young man is probably not something that ordinary people can have.The demeanor between gestures is casual and generous, but there is a sense of pride. If Xia Houyuan is a noble son, then he has the demeanor of a king that Xia Houyuan does not have.

Li Jinzhao asked casually, "I don't know what the eldest brother's last name is?"

"Me?" The man took out a big pancake from the bag and handed it to him, with the corner of his mouth slightly raised, "When my surname is, the single name is Xia."

Li Jinzhao took a bite of the pancake, and felt that it was baked just right, the fat inside was fat but not greasy, very delicious, and he felt a little relaxed, "Because Brother Shi was born in summer?"

Seeing that he was devouring his food, the man chuckled a few times, "No. It's just that my family is ranked according to 'spring, summer, autumn and winter', and my turn happens to be the 'summer' generation. My father... father doesn't know what to name me What, so I just took Xia." He turned to look at him, "What's your name?"

"Li Jinchao." Li Jinchao smiled, "If you have wine today, you will be drunk today."

The man also laughed, "Does your father want you to take good care of Jinzhao? Jinzhao is a good name."

Li Jinchao nodded, and after eating the last bite of the flatbread, the man broke off more than half of it for him, "Let's eat. I'm not very hungry."

Li Jinzhao hadn't eaten properly these days, but this big pancake whetted his appetite, so he took it unceremoniously, and ate it unceremoniously, choking on it in a hurry.

Shixia laughed a few times, and handed him the kettle, with warm eyes, "The way you eat cakes reminds me of my little son."

Li Jinzhao looked up at him, and smiled, "I'm sorry, actually...I don't usually eat like this. But this pancake is delicious."

"My son is too." Shixia seemed to have thought of something, his eyes were gentle, "He will only gobble up this kind of cake when he eats it."

Li Jinzhao became interested and asked, "Isn't the young master usually like this?"

Shixia seemed to be immersed in memories, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Most of the time, Qiushui is like a little adult. He was like this when he was a child, he didn't fight or grab, he didn't show or show, he didn't look like a child."

Li Jinzhao nodded, "It is indeed as quiet as autumn water."

A layer of loneliness suddenly appeared on Shixia's face, "It's because I'm too sensible, so I often forget him." Looking up at Li Jinchao, he found that Li Jinchao was staring at him, and Shixia stared at him, stunned Dazed, he smiled again, "At present, your eyes look like Qiushui."

Li Jinzhao laughed loudly, "Brother Shi, you are really thinking about your son."

Shi Xia looked at him carefully, and suddenly sighed, "You look a bit like him."

Li Jinzhao only took it as a joke, held back his laughter, and said half-jokingly: "At that time, the elder brother saw my fault, so you should think more about the young master in the future."

That slender figure flashed in Shixia's mind, and Shixia lowered his eyes, "Well, I should think about it more."

When Li Jinzhao saw Xia Anjing, he said, "I'll go get some more firewood."

Shi Xia raised his head, still with his normal expression, "Don't go too far, there may be wolves active."

Li Jinchao nodded.

In fact, Li Jinzhao didn't dare to go too far.When I was in the obscurity state, it was because I walked too far to collect firewood that a series of things happened.If he hadn't lost his way back then, he wouldn't have caught a cold, and he wouldn't have stayed in the mountains for so many days, and Le Qi wouldn't have joined the army.

The setting sun was falling on the lukewarm egg yolk, and the visibility in the mountains and forests suddenly decreased.To be honest, finding dry branches in this weather is indeed a bit of a hassle.

So even if Li Jinzhao didn't want to go far, he had to go a little farther.In early spring, wild beasts like wolves will come out to move around, and the bonfire has to be lit all night.

He was picking up firewood when he suddenly heard the sound of fighting coming from the direction of the cave.It didn't take much thinking to know that it was coming from Tokika's direction.Thinking of this, he hurriedly ran back holding the firewood.

Li Jinzhao felt that he was coming back the way he came, but in fact he took a big circle. When he was approaching the cave where Shixia was, the smell of blood mixed with the smell of vegetation wafted along the west wind, making him tremble all over.

But he didn't care too much about it. At any rate, Shixia gave him a big pie of kindness. There is a kindness that needs to be repaid. It was his father who taught him.When Li Qingxing was alive, he often taught Li Jinchao that in doing business, one must keep "sincerity" and "trust";

When he found Shixia, he was fighting with the man in black.He held a long sword in his hand, with an eye-catching ruby ​​embedded in the hilt, but what caught the eye more than the gem was Shi Xia's moves. The sword was swift and swift, like flowing clouds and flowing water, and the sword edge slashed across the neck , leaving only a thin streak of blood, but before the streak of blood condensed into drops of blood, the long sword pierced another person's lower abdomen.From the beginning to the end, Tokia's eyes never blinked.

It was the first time Li Jinzhao saw such a bloody scene, but he was not too scared.Tokatsu was fighting with the leader of the man in black, but the man in black who was stabbed in the waist with a sword woke up from a coma, and was about to raise his knife to slash Tokatsu's back.

Li Jinchao was cold and shouted, "Brother Shi, watch your back!" Shi Xia turned around and narrowly escaped the attack from behind, but his left wrist was unexpectedly injured by the leader in front.

Seeing the slow movement of the man in black behind him, Li Jinzhao braved up his courage and raised a stone to slam the man in black on the shoulder.

Although it didn't completely hit him, the man in black had been injured before, and he had a fierce look on his face. When he was about to turn around and slash at Li Jinchao, Tokia was already one step ahead of him, and stabbed him hard in the chest. .

The leader was about to escape to the deep forest with corpses lying all over the field. Shi Xia casually picked up a big knife and threw it in the direction of his escape. The big knife stabbed the man's back firmly like a silver lightning, and the man fell down , never got up again.

Shi Xia withdrew his sword, his deep pool-like eyes lightly swept across the corpses everywhere, as if he had just killed a few ants.When his eyes glanced at Li Jinchao who was staying aside, he warmed up slightly, "Are you scared?"

Li Jinzhao blinked, regained his senses from the stupefaction, shook his head, but his brows furrowed involuntarily, after all, in his education, there was no such thing as "disregarding human life".

Shixia went around the dead body and picked up the firewood Li Jinzhao dropped, and said to him, "Let's change the place, it stinks."

Li Jinzhao smiled wryly, and said to himself Amitabha, "Fortunately, I have eaten."

Shi Xia smiled, "Then be careful not to spit it out."

Li Jinzhao subconsciously covered his mouth.
