Xiao Jiu took a bite of mutton and shook his head again: "No, Ximan is not my home, I won't live anywhere, and neither does Muzi." He has been with me for a long time, and if he lives well, he should also start a family. ”

After thinking about it, he comforted himself and said, "I don't have a home either." But I'm still willing to stay in Dongli. ”

Tuoba Gu showed dissatisfaction for the first time: "Hmph, what's good about Dongli." There are so many villains. ”

Xiao Jiu didn't ask much, and blinked. Continue to eat meat. After a while, he asked curiously: "Tuoba Gu, why do you want to take refuge in the prince, the people and the southwest are optimistic about Prince Ying, he loves the country and protects the people, why should you be an enemy of him?" ”

Tuoba Gu smiled coldly: "Things in the palace are complicated, it's not something you can think through, you don't have to worry about this matter." But you have to remember, I'm good, Xiban is good, and I've never been swayed. ”

After eating, I feel tired again. The scorching sun is striking again. I really don't want to go a step forward. Seeing this, Tuoba Gu actually borrowed a carriage from the shopkeeper.

Acting as a groom himself, leading all the way to the inn. Xiao Jiu had a long sleep again. The trivial fragments in the dream are all pictures of the city wall saving people that night.

It's obviously not a glorious thing, but when I think about it, the corners of my mouth are still up. Shaking his head, he didn't want to think about it anymore. Open the window and look out.

The bustle of Jingmen Town is very similar to that of Jincheng. It's just that Jincheng doesn't have such a tall building, otherwise she wouldn't have to sleep without anything. It's beautiful to watch the street through the window every day, and have a glass of wine.

Tuoba pushed the door in, looked at the back in front of the window, and frowned. What is the reason why the prince will meet a man in Pingshui. Or such an ugly man, so attentive.

The spies came to report, and King Ying gave an ultimatum in various main passages. If you see Tuoba Gu and Xiao Jiu, arrest them immediately. However, he was also clever not to mention the names of the two men, and said that they were general fugitives.

Therefore, so far, Tuoba Gu and Xiao Jiu have been circled by him to the land of Dongli. The country is everywhere, but it can't fly abroad even if it has wings.

Xiao Jiu turned around when he heard the movement, and asked casually: "Brother Tuoba, you are so idle every day, why are you so rich?" ”

Tuoba raised his eyebrows: "Why do you want to learn a way to make a fortune?" ”

Xiao Jiu touched the shaggy beard on his chin and said, "When you say that, I think I'm really starting to make money." It's a terrible feeling to be penniless. But I'm not good at managing money. Can't be as bold as you. It's good to be able to get by. ”

Tuoba smiled dumbly: "Whatever you want!" “

Xiao Jiu's eyes rolled and jumped off the edge of the window. Said with bad intentions: "Brother Tuoba, you see you are so idle. Why don't we go to the mountains? ”

"What? Want to go? ”

"Not really, I kind of like it here. If I find Muzi, I'll come back and open a small hospital. You can eat delicious food every day. By the way, which lamb must be introduced to me. “

Tuoba turned his mind around, and Chu Yinghan only sealed the avenue, indicating that he knew our whereabouts. Why don't you stop here and see what he's going to do? If it's just for the sake of morality, then make it clear to Xiao Jiu. Say goodbye again.

"If you like it, then let's stay. Later we will go buy a small courtyard. ”

It's really a rich man, and he says he will stay. "Yes, then let's go to the mountains first and see if there is any talk about buying medicinal herbs."

Of course, Tuoba Gu knew that Xiao Jiu wanted to play. Naturally, yes. I bought two fast horses and ran all the way to Shimang Mountain, which is not close to Jingmen Town.

Where there are many medicinal herbs, there are also many poisonous insects. Xiao Jiu must be happy to play.

Sure enough, it was only halfway up the slope. I saw the fruits hidden in the shade of the trees. And he shouted for joy. When I walked up, I remembered what I had learned.

I took out the powder and sprinkled it. The golden beetles hidden in the book fled one after another. Only then did he hold a handful of purple and black fruits, and proudly came to Tuoba alone.

"Carving insect skills!"

Tuoba Gu threw down such a sentence, smiled, and stepped forward alone.

Xiao Jiu snorted and finished eating the fruit in his hand. He began to study its roots and branches again. The fruit is sweet, but in small quantities, and the golden beetle, an insect that can secrete a human touch, likes to live on its roots and branches.

So its roots and branches also carry venom. The roots and branches of the fruit can be stained. Xiao Jiu brought some gloves made of cow stomach pouches.

He followed Tuoba alone. I didn't see any herbs or poisonous weeds along the way.

was also a little tired, but said proudly: "I thought you could find some treasure with you." It turned out to be nothing. ”

"Really?" Tuoba Gu deliberately showed cold arrogance.

As soon as he saw him like this, Xiao Jiu knew that there were good things. Hurriedly looked around. Only then did they realize that the ground under their feet was different from the dense weeds before.

The whole circle was full of withered land. Not a single weed. There was a hollow cave in the middle.

"Snakes?" Xiao Jiu's curiosity was aroused. While walking gently towards the cave.

Tuoba smiled meaningfully. Seeing Xiao Jiu's head lower and lower. Suddenly roared to the side.

was so frightened that Xiao Jiuyi fell to the ground. Tuoba was unexpected, but he still leaned forward and leaned back with a smile.

Xiao Jiu sat on the ground and rolled his eyes. "Lie to me!" As soon as he put his hand on the ground, he felt that something was wrong. The soil looks dry, but it is unusually fluffy. I didn't feel any pain when I fell like this just now.

Pinched it again, and the yellow earth turned slightly white. His brow furrowed, and he fell into deep thought.

He raised his head sharply, his eyes shining. "Is it? Ice Lantern Gyokuro? ”

With an appreciative expression, Tuoba Gu stretched out his palm. A small umbrella-shaped red ball gathered together bloomed into a lotus shape and lay in the palm of his hand.

Ice lantern gyokuro is a very poisonous vegetation. And it's extremely rare, and it's already difficult to see green on weekdays. Today, he actually picked the red one. “

Xiao Jiu said regretfully: "Why did you pick it up, I heard that at night, it will release the light absorbed during the day, and the scenery is charming." ”

Tuoba was stunned. Hahahahaha laughed. "It's also a fascinating sight, this vegetation is also a type of man-eating flower, and the glimmer of light released at night is to attract flying insects and antbeasts to its side, and it will corrupt it into fertile soil to feed itself." "That's not said in the old books." Xiao Jiu said and stretched out his hand to touch it. Tuoba Gu retracted abruptly.

"Don't want to die? You don't see a single living thing around! ”

"Then why can you?" Tuoba Gu smiled faintly: "The human skin gloves are very easy to use, why don't you also consider changing them?" ”

Xiao Jiu was stunned. Continue to pretend to be stupid: "Hehe, what do you want this for?" ”

"It can extract bright colors, and many dignitaries are waiting to buy it. Dye it with a little silk thread and seal it on a close-fitting object, and within three days the man will surely die. ”

Xiao Jiu was stunned, "Then aren't you harmful?" “

Tuoba was lonely and didn't care. "Naturally, isn't the purpose of making drugs to simply put people to death without wasting physical strength?"

Xiao Jiu was a little bored: "How many lives can such a one take?" ”

Tuoba Gu glanced at it obliquely, "The entire Jingmen Town is not a problem. ”

Xiao Jiu's face turned pale. I want to dissuade but I don't know how to say it. The legendary first poison, Tuoba Lone, was a heinous person.

This is his life, and he has no right to interfere.

On the way back, Xiao Jiu was obviously absent-minded. No matter what Tuoba Gu says. It's all perfunctory.

Tuoba Gu has always been arrogant, even if he laughs on weekdays, he hides a knife in his smile. Never like this, careful.

Xiao Jiu is not deeply involved in the world, he knows it in his heart. I thought that the group of brothers who swore to worship could just gather a crowd to make trouble.

The real killing, maybe she hasn't been exposed to it yet. But she's going to kill. Otherwise, how can I be worthy of her.

Thinking of this, Tuoba Lonely also had a cold face. The two of them are one in front of the other. Ride a horse quietly. The sun is setting, the breeze is coming, anyway, the person who is following is reporting to King Ying.

"You and they drank wine and ate meat together, and rode their horses to the mountains, talking and laughing all the way??"

"Yes!"

"Don't hurry to ride back when you are in a hurry? Or enjoy the sunset? "

"Yes!"

For some reason, the spies felt that it was as cold as an ice cellar. The prince's face was as usual. I had to report according to the information I received.

The prince pondered for a moment and found that he was still standing in front of the hall. With a wave of his hand, let him out.

Before he had gone far, he heard a bang in the hall. The executives hurriedly went in. I saw that the teacup was shattered.

"Lord Wang?"

The prince's face was rarely frustrated. He said in a low voice: "Go and invite General Zihuai." ”

Zihuai was also very surprised when he heard the report of the senior executives. The prince has always been calm, so everything can be done with a little bit of water.

How could it be such a gaffe this time. did not dare to delay and hurriedly came to King Ying's mansion. Enter the front hall. I saw that the always domineering prince Ying was full of decadence all over his body.

I didn't dare to ask more, since I called him over, I naturally wanted to tell him.

made a big salute: "Lord! ”

"Hmm, here?"

Zihuai felt even more strange, the prince and he had to do scenes except in Jiang, and they always had something to say. Never drag mud and water, let alone fake greetings,"

"Lord Wang, is there a problem with the salary?"

The prince woke up, shook his head, and asked again, "Is that done?" ”

Zihuai was still puzzled, "Go back to the prince, do it secretly, everything is waiting for the prince's order." ”

"Okay, deal with it as soon as possible. Someone can't wait any longer. ”

Zihuai was shocked: "Isn't something happened to Xiao Jiu?" ”

The prince rarely sneered: "Traveling in the mountains and rivers, I can't miss it!" ”

Zihuai bowed his head, today's prince is really abnormal. I don't know how to answer the call. This should be a lot of people in the palace, and you can't say whatever you want to say as if you are outside. had to stand stupidly and wait for the prince to speak. “

Quiet, Zihuai, who was standing in the hall strangely, only felt sweating.

Quietly, the eerily senior executives standing outside the door trembled in their legs.

It was a stalemate for a while, and the prince seemed to use an open-minded attitude, his face was not very good, but he still maintained an indifferent tone.

"Get me some prostitutes tonight." After speaking, regardless of Zihuai's frightened expression, he continued: "Ugly! ”

Zihuai immediately understood, and secretly sighed that Su Lao's words were a disaster.

The executives couldn't hear what was being said, but they also felt that today was abnormal. I saw General Zihuai's suffocated pig's liver-colored face again.

Shaking his head secretly, it has not been peaceful in recent years.
