Yan Qi stood still, quietly pricked up her ears to listen, and the distinguished guest beside her couldn't help but glance at her - this little girl is not simple, just now, all the aura emanating from her body suddenly seemed to be cut off or isolated by something, even if she was by your side, you would not feel her existence, as if she had changed from a living person to a fallen leaf or a stone on the ground in an instant - this kind of perfect ability to hide himself, only his secret guards can easily do it.

The guest's face was calm as usual, but the finger on the lake stone was slightly cocked, and he moved slightly from side to side almost imperceptibly.

Yan Qi felt that the murderous aura from not far behind her was gradually fading, but this did not affect her to continue to listen to the conversation on the other side of the lake with bated breath, Cui Xi's voice was cold and soft, but Yan Qi, who was familiar with him, could hear a faint ridicule: "Let me ask you, do you really want to be good with me?"

"I can't guarantee that I'll do everything in my power to be nice to you, at least when I'm interested in you. That person, Lei Yu, the prince of King Zhuang, also replied frankly and truthfully.

"Oh, how do you want to be nice to me?" Cui Xi asked with a cool smile.

"It depends on your preference," Lei Yu's tone was ambiguous, "If you want money, I'll give it, if you want to have fun, I'll accompany you, if you want to be an official, I'll pave the way for you; if you want to be famous, I'll help you publicize it; even if you want to find a beautiful daughter-in-law, I can let people all over the world help you pick it out." And I have only one request for you, and that is ...... How?"

"It's fair," Cui Xi smiled, "So do you want me to have a secret relationship with you, or do you want to be in a public relationship?"

"Hey, the master has always acted openly and honestly and is not afraid of people's words! What are you doing in secret! The master just wants to go in and out of the pair with you!"

"Oh, I'm afraid it's a bit difficult, and if my father and mother knew about it, they would definitely not agree. ”

"If they don't agree, you will go out with me, and I will buy a yard outside, and the two of us will be able to live and fly ......."

"Oh, if you lose interest in me in the future, won't I be homeless? This method is not appropriate, according to me, why don't you first find an opportunity to talk to your father and mother in private, my father has always been honest, and I hope that he is afraid of you and Ling Zun's status, and maybe he acquiesces, but it is really unthinkable, and I don't want to fall out with my parents. ”

"Okay, is Ling Zun here today, I'll go talk to him!"

"Come, this son may be listening to the play in front, but if you want to talk to him, you need to avoid some people, and in front of others, my father will not even be able to agree to this. ”

"I know, I'll go now, you wait here for me—I'll come back to pick you up when it's done, let's go back to the city, and I'll take you to have some fun!"

Then I heard the sound of footsteps coming out from behind the lake stone, and it was actually behind the stone where Yan Qi and the three of them were hiding first! The distinguished guest was so frightened that he lifted the hem of his robe and put it on his head, and then quickly lowered his body and hid behind Yan Qi like a thief, Jin Gui'er was even more frightened and turned around and lay on the stone directly.

Lei Yu walked towards this compartment while lifting his robe with one hand and unbuttoning his trouser belt with the other - he was holding back a soak of urine and preparing to find a place to release water, when he saw Yan Qi poking here expressionlessly, he was startled, and then looked at the two sneaky guys behind her, raised his eyebrows and made a sudden expression, and couldn't help grinning: "It's bad for your good deeds? I will also pick a place, but it's a pity that this place came first, and no one can be left within a radius of thirty zhang, so I left here quickly." ”

"This place, it doesn't seem to be your turn to call the shots. "Yan Qidao.

"Ho, the little girl is very hard-mouthed, but it's a pity that the master is not a master who pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade, the master only says it one last time, and immediately rolls away for the master, otherwise the master will throw you two concubines into the lake to make a pair of kings!" Lei Yu snorted.

When the distinguished guest heard this, his body under his robe trembled slightly, but Jin Guier couldn't bear it, and said to his master: "Master-"

Before he could say anything, he saw another person turn from behind the lake and stone, and looked at Lei Yu coldly: "Don't go yet?"

"Just go, just go!" Lei Yu smiled and gestured, and his subordinates, who had always been by Cui Xi's side, immediately pounced on him to take down Yan Qi and the three people, and just took two steps, he felt a flash of silver light in front of him, and when he looked closely, he saw a thin and sharp knife sticking to their master's throat, as if as long as a gust of wind blew, the blade could cut through the fragile skin.

The owner of the knife had bright eyes, and his handsome face was smeared with a cold smile: "If you dare to touch her, you will cut off your head." ”

Lei Yu looked at Cui Xi in surprise, he didn't even see how he put this little knife on his neck at all-it was too fast! His movements were faster than a flash—— how could this sick boy have such a means?!

However, he really doesn't know kung fu, the position he is standing in and the posture he is holding at the moment are full of vacancies and flaws, Lei Yu's guards can kill him with one blow no matter which direction - he really doesn't know kung fu, but his hands are more flexible than any kung fu master, they can indeed kill him with one blow, but before being killed by one blow, he can definitely cut his Lei Yu's throat in front of anyone!

"Do you know her?" Lei Yu stiffened his neck, and made a downward motion with his hand, signaling his subordinates not to act rashly.

Cui Xi ignored what he asked, his fingers moved slightly, and the knife disappeared into his hand like magic, and then smiled slightly, as if the demon boy had been recaptured by an angel: "If you don't ask, what we just agreed on will be stopped." ”

Lei Yu felt relieved at this time, rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "Of course I want to go, but I want to take you with me, in case Ling Zun thinks that I am talking nonsense out of thin air, won't I have to bother with my lips?"

"If you don't even have the ability to do this, then the agreement is still over. Cui Xi said.

“…… Alright, I'll go now, and you can wait for me here. Lei Yu said and glared at Yan Qi's face, and then glanced at his subordinates, and then strode away with two of them.

The remaining few people continued to stay on the spot, staring vigilantly at Cui Xi and Yan Qi.

"Why are you here?" Cui Xi looked at Yan Qi with a bright smile on his face, as if he was not the one who had just negotiated terms with Lei Yu and almost cut someone's throat.

"I came to look for you, but I haven't seen you all this time. "Yan Qidao.

"I've been pestered by him, and I'm about to go to find you," Cui Xi said with a smile, and Lei Yu's people who didn't shy away from Lei Yu stayed by him to stare at him, "This island is good, where do you live?"

"Look there, in the trees. Yan Qi pointed to the treehouse by the lake in the distance.

Cui Xi turned his head to look in the direction and laughed: "It turns out that you live here, my father accidentally saw it when he drew the drawings of this tree house, and I didn't expect it to be for your family to live in, I knew that I would design a better one for you." ”

"Don't worry, when I'm tired of this set, you can design a new one for me. "Yan Qidao.

Cui Xi's gaze swept to the distinguished guest who was still there with his head covered and pretending to be a walking corpse: "With you?"

Only then did Yan Qi think of this, and turned his head to talk to him: "Uncle, people are gone, don't hide, I didn't recognize you." ”

"......" The distinguished guest lifted the corner of his shirt, revealing one eye to look out, and when his eyes fell on Cui Xi's face, he was slightly stunned, and then put the shirt off his head, unconcealing the surprise in his eyes, "Which adult's son is this little brother?"

"Cui San'er's family. "Yan Qidao.

Cui Xi: "......"

"Tsk, I don't look like Ling Zun at all! It's not my own, right?!" The distinguished guest once again forcibly dismantled the flesh and blood of other people's families.

"No matter how naughty you are, you called Lei Yu back. Yan Qi frightened.

“…… Lei Yu's rabbit cub who came out on the eighth day of the king!" The distinguished guest was annoyed, and even the two kings of Zhuang scolded him together, "He should be thrown to Beisai to let him know what a real man is!"

"Bold!" Lei Yu's subordinates who stayed in place immediately shouted when they heard this, "Dare to insult the prince and the prince!"

As soon as this person's voice fell, the rest of Lei Yu's guards immediately made a move and rushed to this distinguished guest, and the distinguished guest stood in place without blinking his eyes, and scolded there in his mouth: "A pickled thing from the grandson of the king and the eight turtles......!"

With his scolding, seven or eight black shadows suddenly flew out of thin air, and in the blink of an eye, the palace guards' moves were blocked and resolved one by one, but after three or five efforts, a piece of ground was laid, and in the blink of an eye, those black shadows disappeared out of thin air, and only the scolding of the distinguished guest was still ringing endlessly.

"I think these people should go to North Cyprus just now. Yan Qi sighed, "Killing the barbarian is invisible, how much trouble can be saved." ”

"War is not something that can be controlled by just a few people," the tone of the distinguished guest's words changed very naturally, "otherwise, wouldn't anyone who is good at kung fu be the emperor?"

"If you are good at kung fu, you may not be able to be the emperor, but the emperor can control the war. "Yan Qidao.

"Emperor?" the distinguished guest laughed, and there was a hint of mockery hidden in his smile, "The emperor is not able to control everything. Everyone thinks that war is the most terrible thing, but everyone knows that there are more terrible things than war. As he spoke, he pointed to his heart, "The emperor can't control this." Geng Geng is loyal, after a long time, the distance is long, just like flying a kite, the more you pull the line, the more laborious it is, until one day, the line is torn, and this loyalty is weakened. Well, that's. ”

"Are you suspecting that the soldiers in Beisai are disloyal to the emperor?" Yan Qi asked.

“…… You asked so bluntly, how can you answer? The distinguished guest clasped his arms in his arms and shook his legs.

"That's why the emperor didn't allow the border guards and their relatives to return to Beijing without permission?" Yan Qi asked again.

"Huh? It is necessary for the general guarding the border not to return to Beijing easily, but what is the matter with his relatives not being able to return to Beijing?" said the distinguished guest.

“…… Isn't it because he is afraid that the soldiers will stay at the border for a long time, and they will become spies with foreign enemies and come back to Beijing to be undercover?" Yan Qi also said strangely.

“…… Rather than this, it would be better to leave the soldiers' families in Beijing as hostages. The guest was speechless.

Yan Qi was even more speechless, and did not answer for a while.

The distinguished guest looked at Yan Qi and said, "Oh, by the way, you are the daughter of Yan Er's ruffian, didn't Ling Tang also go to Beisai with him, could it be that someone stopped her from coming back?"

“…… That's what my mother and the elders in my family said," Yan Qi raised his eyes and looked at the blue sky in the north, "Since I was a child, they told me and my younger brother that my mother went to the north, and without the permission of the imperial court, she was not allowed to return to Beijing without permission. My brother and I thought that with my father's military power and reputation, he was probably the target of the enemy's provocation or bribery, and therefore probably more suspicious than others, and it was reasonable for us to be given such a will...... Maybe that's the intention. ”

The eyes of the distinguished guest on Yan Qi's face moved slightly, and he said for a while: "It seems that your father and mother really don't want you anymore." ”

Yan Qi: "...... This knife stabbed so deeply. ”

"Maybe your mother doesn't want to stay in Beijing to serve her in-laws, and she doesn't like you, so she doesn't want to come back when she goes to the north, and plans to settle down there and make a few babies with your father, and the family loves each other and is happy. ”

Yan Qi: "...... That's enough, let's stick a knife and turn my face again. ”

"Hee-hee-hee. ”

"What are you doing?" the distinguished guest was laughing obscenely, and suddenly heard such a sound behind him, and he was so frightened that "Ouch" jumped up, turned his head to look back, and saw Yan Zike's big face: "How do you know I'm here?"

"I'll come back and change my clothes. Yan Zike pointed to the burgundy robe on his body, today is his birthday, listened to the old lady's words and specially picked out a festive dress to wear, but I don't know who rubbed oil on the robe, and the victim ran back to change, and met this distinguished guest on this way, "Go to my boat." ”

"Bed?" the distinguished guest didn't understand, who knew that Yan Zike would live on the ship.

"Boats. Yan Zike turned his head and looked at Yan Qi again, "Take Xiaosi to play." ”

Seeing the two of them go away, Yan Qicai and Cui Xi left where they were and slowly walked in the direction of the tree house, and Cui Xi said, "Dingzhun eighteen is leaving?"

"It's settled, do you have any questions?" Yan Qi asked.

"Look at Lei Yu's performance in front of my father. Cui Xi curled the corners of his lips.

Yan Qi thought for a while, and then he figured out Cui Xi's plan - he deliberately let Lei Yu pester him so that he could show his father, Cui Chun was honest, and the family couldn't afford to provoke King Zhuang, at that time, Cui Xi only needed to say that he would go out and live for a while to avoid Lei Yu, Cui Chunyi agreed that as long as Cui Xi went out of the house, his father couldn't control where he wanted to go - it was strange that Cui Xi was confident from the beginning, and it turned out that he had already calculated it.

"Okay," Yan Qi didn't worry too much, "Maybe Lei Yu hasn't had a chance to pester you anymore." ”

"That's best after eighteen. Cui Xi smiled, "Did you tell them?" refers to Wu Yue and Lu Rong.

"I didn't tell them when they were leaving," Yan Qidao, "I still don't tell them, it's sad and sad, and I have to work for everyone to see them off, it's a big holiday...... When the time comes, write to them. ”

"What time will you leave at eighteen?" Cui Xi asked.

"After breakfast, Xiao Jiu and I will go to find you. "Yan Qidao.

"Okay, then I'll go back first," Cui Xi said, "go and ponder the rubber tree." ”

"Too late, right?"

"I already have some ideas for the drawings you gave me last time about rubber tires, so I'll try it out. ”

"Well, don't work too hard. ”

Sending Cui Xi away, Yan Qi went back to the direction of the tree house, and just from the top of the stairs, she saw from a distance a place to avoid people across the lake and the forest, where her family Yan Xiaojiu was talking to Xiao Tianhang.

This kid didn't delay anything. Yan Qi didn't look much and went straight into the house.

"Why did it take so long to come back?" Wu Yue was already sitting cross-legged on Yan Qi's log bed, "What about Cui Si, didn't you go looking for him?"

"He had gone home beforehand. Yan Qi also took off his shoes and sat on the bed, "Where are you talking?"

"I am talking to Xiao Lotus about what we are going to do in Lianhua Temple on the twenty-sixth day of the first month of this year, thinking back to Li Taoman's case, it seems to have happened not long ago, this year has passed so fast!" Wu Yue sighed.

"The older you get, the faster time flies. Lu Rong also sighed.

"Two thirteen-year-old women here lament the passage of time, which makes me feel a lot of pressure on the young man. "Yan Qidao.

"Haha! You're thirteen years old today!" Wu Yue shouted.

"It's not yet, okay, I was born at night, and it's still a few hours away!" Yan Qidao.

"Okay, okay, then you can see the gift I gave you later!"

"I don't even have to look to know what you're sending. ”

"Then what do you say I'm sending?"

"I can at least guess whether you believe it or not. ”

"Guess what you guess!"

"Box, right?"

“…… How could I have sent you a box?! No! Guess wrong!"

"And what is this?"

"This is a box for gifts!"

"That's it, is it possible that you still want the box back?"

“…… Of course not......"

"Look, isn't that a gift for me, at least I guessed the same? ”

“…… I don't want to talk to you anymore. ”

The three of them talked and laughed, and before they knew it, the sun was turning west.

"Eh, I'm leaving," Wu Yue bent down to put on his shoes, "It's far away from the city, so I can't stay for dinner." ”

"Well, let's go back, have fun. "Yan Qidao.

"Haha, of course it's fun, there aren't many days left in the winter vacation!" Wu Yue said.

"Yes, enjoy yourself while you're young. "Yan Qidao.

Lu Rong glanced at Yan Qi thoughtfully.

Yan Qi also looked at her: "Xiao Lotus is too, let go and be brave." ”

Lu Rong nodded, suddenly wanted to cry, and quickly turned his face away.

sent the two of them down from the tree house and sent them all the way to the front courtyard to meet their respective families - Lu Jingwei has already taken office, and Lu Lotus came with Mrs. Lu this time.

After sending the two families to the dock of the boat from the main courtyard, and waiting to get on the boat in turn, Wu Yue suddenly remembered and hurriedly asked Yan Qi, "When are you leaving?"

"It's not decided yet. "Yan Qidao.

"Settle down, remember to tell us to go!"

"Okay. "Yan Qidao.

Lu Rong's eyes were red behind Wu Yue, and Yan Qi shook her hand: "Time will pass quickly." ”

Wu Yue felt sad in hindsight, but as soon as she thought that Yan Qi would return to Beijing with her family in a few days, and then she could seize the time to play with her every day, she also put it down for the time being, and waved goodbye to Yan Qi.

Yan Qimu sent the boats of the Wu and Lu families to disappear outside the horizontal line before turning around, and followed the Yan family back to the main courtyard.

Yan Zike didn't know who was drunk, he slept in Tianshui Pavilion without eating dinner, and the distinguished guest didn't know when he left, Yan Qi also only ate a bowl of longevity noodles, and returned to Asuki to open her gifts one by one.

Young Master Yan Jiu also went back to his room early, and he didn't show his head for a night, until the morning of the seventeenth day of the first lunar month the next day, he pushed the door into Yan Qi's room, and dropped a sentence lightly: "I changed my mind, I won't go to the east, go to the north, close the block, and find my father." 166 Reading Network
