Qi Zhongyu cherished the people and things in front of him, and wanted to solve the troubles of Xinrijiao as soon as possible. After lunch, he told Lu Dongfu that he wanted to go out.

Lu Dongfu was stunned for a moment, thinking that she was going up the mountain to check the progress of the yard's construction, and said, "Then Mr. Xiang will go back early."

Qi Zhongyu responded, but his feet didn't move, he just stared at Lu Dongfu. Lu Dongfu's face was hot from her look, his eyes were reddened, and he called her in a low voice: "Sir, what's the matter?"

Qi Zhongyu was in a complicated mood, and she couldn't express herself, so she said softly, "It's nothing, I'll be back soon."

She patted Lu Dongfu on the shoulder, turned around and left quickly. Lu Dongfu waited for her to go far before going back to the house to pack the cloth she bought. She planned to sew two more clothes for Qi Zhongyu, so she picked out Colors chosen in advance.

Qi Zhongyu likes to wear indigo clothes, maybe he didn't even realize it, but Lu Dongfu noticed that most of the ready-made clothes that belonged to him in the closet were in this color, which also showed his preference .

Lu Dongfu chose the indigo cloth. Qi Zhongyu has fair skin and a tall and thin figure. This kind of clothes suits him well.

She sat by the window, threaded the needle, cut the cloth, and began to sew slowly.

Qi Zhongyu quickly came to Siyuan County, remembering the residence Song Deliang said, and went straight to the East Street after entering the city. Tan Haoran and others settled in the third courtyard. She didn't go directly to the door, but first inquired about the news nearby.

I learned from a nearby vendor that the yard was originally inhabited by a couple surnamed Wu. They were about five or sixty years old, and they were kind. Unfortunately, their son died young, and their daughter-in-law married far away, leaving only a pair of children. , and they took care of them on their behalf. There were no capable young people in the family, and their lives were very poor.

The cost of living in the county town is high. As a last resort, they rented out the yard a few days ago, and took their grandchildren back to the countryside.

Although the yard is not big, it has a good location, so it was rented out within a few days after it was hung in Renyazi, and it has been rented out for more than half a month now.

The person who lives there now is a young man with poor health. He looks gentle and elegant, like a scholar.

Xu is the young master of a wealthy family, with a few well-built servants and an old housekeeper with him. The old housekeeper handles most of the shopping, while the young man lives in seclusion and rarely goes out.

The peddler has been doing business on this street for a long time, so he knows the details of the people coming and going, and the handsome young man left a deep impression on him.

Qi Zhongyu learned the general information from him, and contacted the information he inquired when he went out more than a month ago, and restored most of Tan Haoran's experience.

It was almost the same as what Song Deliang said. She pursed her lips, bought a few catties of fruit from the vendor, walked around to the back door of the courtyard, and slammed the door.

Song Deliang already knew that she was coming, and he had been waiting anxiously before, and would go over to check on the slightest sign of trouble.

Hearing the sound of knocking on the door, he immediately got up and went to open the door himself. Seeing that it was indeed Qi Zhongyu, he felt relieved and hurriedly opened the door to welcome him into the courtyard. After Qi Zhongyu entered, he looked outside vigilantly and closed it after seeing nothing unusual. courtyard gate.

Qi Zhongyu handed the fruit he bought to Song Deliang, and just when he looked up, he saw Tan Haoran coming out of the house.

The other party seemed to have changed a lot, from a boy to a young man, his body became thinner and thinner, his cheeks were sunken on both sides, his eyes were still bright and gentle, and he smiled and said to Qi Zhongyu, "You are here."

There was uneasiness in the words, Qi Zhongyu frowned, stepped forward, and said: "Go into the room and talk."

Tan Haoran carefully looked at the expression on his face. He also knew the truth about the incident back then. It was Xinrijiao and his father who were sorry for Zhong Yulang.

After that incident happened that year, his father found him specially, expressing the guilt in his heart with a sad face.

Tan Haoran still remembers that he was very angry at that time, and said he wanted to go out to find Zhong Yulang,

Dad also arranged for a few people to accompany him.

It's just that he couldn't find him, so he had to go back to Xinrijiao in despair. Later, when he heard that he was in Jiannan Road, he sent someone to look for him, but the result was that the other party didn't want to see him.

Tan Haoran knew he was in the wrong, so he stopped bothering him. After that, he was busy with business and didn't know the other party's movements. He didn't expect to meet the other party again in this small county.

You know, when Protector You excitedly told him the good news in the morning, he thought that Protector You had misjudged the person. It wasn't until the other party firmly said that the other party would come to the door in person that he vaguely realized that it might be true.

The other party actually ignored the past and really came to visit him.

The tip of Tan Haoran's nose is acidic. He has grown a lot in the past few years. In addition, the general trend has gone. His father and brother will either be captured or killed. He is the only one left in the huge Tan family, and he is wanted by the court and Jianghu. He has tasted the warmth and coldness of the world, and even experienced betrayal.

He knew very well that at such a critical moment, Zhong Yulang would be very lucky if he could come to visit him.

He followed Zhong Yulang step by step into the main room, seeing his eyes looking around the room, Tan Haoran pursed his lips and smiled, and said: "There is no one else in this room except me, but it's really simple, and I still look at it." Brother Zhong, don't be surprised."

Qi Zhongyu sat on the stool and said, "You sit too."

Tan Haoran was flattered, and obediently sat opposite him, listening to Zhong Yulang say: "What are your future plans?"

He was startled when he heard the words, lowered his head and scratched his fingers, and said dryly, "The Right Protector means that Siyuan County is not a place to stay for a long time, and we need to find a way to avoid the pursuit of the government and people in the rivers and lakes. On the mountain path, go to Shannan Road, where there is a sub-helm of the Xinri Sect. After my father and brother are gone, I will be the leader of the Xinri Sect, and I will be responsible for the suffering and suffering of the common people..."

He is an honest man, and he said that because he thought so in his heart.

Qi Zhongyu sneered in his heart, only he was really for the people of the world, Tan Xiutong, Song Deliang, and most of the Xinrijiao people were all for the gold and silver treasures and the supreme position in the capital.

She didn't put it bluntly, but said: "Then have you figured out a way to leave Siyuan County?"

When she just entered the city, she glanced at the bulletin board. Although it didn't say it clearly, it also mentioned to be careful of strangers, and to report to the government immediately if there was something wrong.

Thinking about it, if the situation gets worse in the future, the other party won't be able to hide here for long.

Tan Haoran clasped his fingers white, shook his head and said: "Most of the people who escorted me away have lost most of their hands, and only a few people are left alive, and they are still recuperating in the hospital. I can't leave them alone, and Siyuan County The government here has not acted yet, so I think they can hide for a while, I plan to wait for them to recover from their injuries, and then take a long way to leave."

This is also a good way, Qi Zhongyu agreed, and the two fell silent.

Tan Haoran hesitated to speak, and after a long time, he finally asked, "What about you? What happened back then, our Tan family was sorry for you. I have always felt guilty all these years, and even went out to find your whereabouts myself. I can’t find it everywhere, the poison on your body should have been cured.”

Qi Zhongyu stared at him and said: "No, that poison is the most poisonous in the world, and there is no cure for it."

Tan Haoran's face turned pale, and he hurriedly said: "Then, then you..."

Qi Zhongyu saw that he was really worried about himself, so he comforted him and said: "Although I can't cure the poison, I have used other methods to suppress it. As long as the current state is maintained, the poison will not cause death. You can rest assured. "

Tan Haoran is still a little uneasy, but he really can't help, he can only pray to God that his only friend will not suffer anymore.

He lowered his head, twisted his fingers into knots, and said, "When you were in Jiannan Road, I wrote to you. At that time, you said that you would break up with me. I didn't expect you to come here to see me. Actually, I'm very happy, I..."

Qi Zhongyu frowned, interrupted him, and asked, "When did you write to me? I never received it, let alone replied to it."

Tan Haoran looked at him in a panic, "No? How could it be? Could it be Dad..."

He suddenly reacted, trembling with anger, got up and wanted to confront his father, but realized that his father had already been escorted to the capital.

It was an open question, and the answer was self-evident.

Tan Haoran felt more and more guilty, feeling ashamed to face his friend, and said dejectedly: "I'm sorry."

Qi Zhongyu raised his eyebrows: "What does this have to do with you? Your father is your father, and you are you. I know this very clearly. I came here today just to catch up with old friends. If you put another Apologetic face, then I will leave immediately."

Tan Haoran was in a hurry, and hurriedly said: "Don't go, I just don't say anything."

Qi Zhongyu was just putting on airs, she said: "When will you change your temperament, before you were just the unfavored son of the leader of the Xinri Sect, you are dispensable in the church, just being a rich and idle person is fine; Now, since you plan to take over your father's class and become the leader of the Xinri Sect, you must cheer up and stop being so meek and shy, or you won't know if you will be harmed one day."

She just said it casually because she hated iron but not steel, but she didn't expect it to be a prophecy.

Tan Haoran scratched his head in embarrassment, and said with a good temper: "Don't be angry, I only do this to my relatives and friends. I still have a bit of dignity in front of others."

Qi Zhongyu was skeptical, but Tan Haoran was a friend she recognized, but he was stuck in a quagmire. Unlike her, although the other party was weak and gentle, he was a very responsible man.

What the other party has decided will not be easily changed.

Qi Zhongyu suddenly felt dizzy, but when Tan Haoran was scolded by her, he found the feeling he had when he got along with him back then, opened up the conversation box, and talked freely with her.

During the period, Song Deliang came in personally to serve tea and water, and even proposed to ask Qi Zhongyu to come forward to help, but before he finished speaking, he was kicked out by an angry Tan Haoran.

Qi Zhongyu didn't miss the sternness that flashed across Song Deliang's face when he turned around.

She sneered in her heart, interrupted Tan Haoran's babbling, and said, "The right protector is not trustworthy, I can do you a favor and end him."

She gestured a murderous gesture, Tan Haoran looked at her helplessly, and said: "No, the reason I was able to escape the arrest of the government all along the way was because of the help of Lao You. I also know how to measure, and I am an old man who needs to be used by my father, so I can't obliterate his achievements in the past ten years because of a trivial matter, I know you are thinking of me, I appreciate it and am very grateful."

Qi Zhongyu took a deep breath, and said annoyedly: "Then I don't care about you, you can figure it out yourself."

Tan Haoran smiled, and continued to chat with her about the current world affairs.

Qi Zhongyu knew a thing or two about these things, she was not politically sensitive, and couldn't see the details like Tan Haoran. Listening to his analysis at this moment, she suddenly felt a sense of urgency.

She said, "You mean, Daqi is about to fall into chaos?"

This chaos is not caused by someone rebelling, but a real chaos in the world.

Qi Zhongyu didn't quite believe it. Although the people are having a hard time now, the emperor is still sitting firmly on the dragon chair. Although the court is corrupt, it is not weak and incompetent. The previous Xinrijiao uprising is a lesson for the past. The uprising that has been planned for many years cannot shake the foundation of the country at all.

Tan Haoran is different from her. He is good at playing chess, has a strong overall view, and has a deeper understanding of current affairs than Qi Zhongyu. Although he has a gentle personality, he is also a very capable and far-sighted young man.

Talking about the things he is good at, he smiled confidently and said: "Everything is ready, the only thing I owe is Dongfeng."

Seeing that Qi Zhongyu still didn't believe it, he didn't force it, but said: "If there is such a day, I hope... I hope you can come to help me."

Qi Zhongyu doesn't want the world to be in chaos. As the saying goes, she would rather be a Taiping dog than a chaotic person. She has been running around after crossing, and only settled down last year. She just wants to live a stable and peaceful life in Yuehe Village. It's nothing to do with her.

She shook her head and politely refused

Said: "Let's talk about it."

Seeing that she didn't like this topic, Tan Haoran switched to talking about other things. He had seen a lot and was entrusted with important tasks by his father when he was an adult, so he learned a lot.

Although Tan Xiutong may not value him very much, it is just that a few years ago, when the Xinrijiao was in full swing, Tan Xiutong only trusted his relatives. Tan Haoran's two elder brothers both held the most important positions. Although Tan Haoran did not have two elder brothers He is good at dancing with long sleeves, but he also has Tan Xiutong's blood, so he took advantage of his status to intervene in the affairs of Xinrijiao, which showed some real skills.

While Qi Zhongyu was also chatting, he was surprised by his foresight. During the conversation, another person came in with tea.

Qi Zhongyu looked displeased, at first he thought it was Song Deliang who came again, but this time it was not him, but another strange young man who looked about 27 or [-] years old, his appearance was above average, and his figure was strong and tall , Eyes and facial expressions give people the impression that this person is calm and reliable.

Without saying a word, he replaced the cold tea, turned around and walked out, closing the door behind him.

Qi Zhongyu could even imagine Song Deliang's angry face. When the other party left in a rage, he deliberately didn't close the door, just trying to figure out the content of their chat by studying their mouth patterns.

However, this stunned young man closed the door, which was a bit interesting, Tan Haoran felt the same way, and said: "Brother Xie's immovable aura is somewhat similar to yours."

Brother Xie, this title also represents a difference.

Seeing her curiosity, Tan Haoran introduced: "Brother Xie's original name is Xie Xinghe, he is not a disciple of the New Sun Sect, but a member of the yamen he met when he was fleeing on Huainan Road a few days ago, he saw through the identity of Guardian Right, But he didn't say anything, and he took the initiative to help us get rid of the chasing soldiers. Seeing that he is good at martial arts and reliable, he wanted to recruit him. I didn't expect him to agree, and then he followed me and waited together. Hey, it's hard to do him."

Indeed, why would a person who was supposed to eat official food should associate with wanted criminals? This person's thinking is not ordinary.
