A month later, Grandpa Hu suddenly sent Hu Li back to Xiao's Mansion and said that he was going back to the mountain. Hu Li looked at Grandpa Hu with tears in his eyes, Grandpa Hu touched Hu Li's head, "Anyway, you don't want to go back to the mountain with Grandpa, but don't forget what Grandpa explained to you, you haven't gone down the mountain much to play in these years......"

Hu Li nodded again and again, "Don't worry, grandpa, I won't forget." ”

Before Grandpa Hu left, he had a secret chat with Xiao Qiao. In addition to letting Xiao Qiao take care of Hu Li, he hoped that Xiao Qiao would not blame Hu Li, and if he found that Hu Li was different from what he imagined, he would let him go back to the Far North Mountain.

Xiao Qiao only then knew that Hu Li had lived in the northernmost mountain of Dayu since he was a child. The Far North Mountains do not belong to any country, because they are covered with snow and ice all year round, so they cannot grow crops and can only live by hunting, and only a very small number of people live. Even the geographical location is not superior, and no country will occupy such a place as a piece of land.

After Grandpa Hu left, not long after, His Majesty issued an order to investigate the Jiangnan corruption case. Master Li walked through the back door openly, and took his proud student Xiao Qiao to receive this errand.

In the eyes of other adults, this is simply a thankless task, but in the eyes of Master Li, this is a whetstone to hone his own students, in the eyes of Xiao Qiao, this is a job to give credit for nothing, and in Hu Li's eyes, this is a good opportunity to travel.

After Grandpa Hu left, Hu Li resumed his comfortable life again.

Xiao Qiao has already figured out the inexplicable love for Hu Li in his heart, and this lively young man has already lived in his heart in every day. The first time he was moved for Hu Li, the first time he was warm because of what Hu Li did for him, the first time he was indulgent to Hu Li, the first time he was hurt by Hu Li, and even the first time he was angry because Hu Li was wronged, this lively young man had already begun to enter his sight with a different attitude from ordinary people, and gradually entered his heart.

He had never seen such a person, full of vitality every day, who would persist in doing a small thing, would be happy because of a little food, would be anxious because of other people's things, and would even be relieved because of a little kindness from others.

In fact, such a person is stupid in Xiao Qiao's eyes, but when he puts it on Hu Li, it seems to become precious.

Xiao Qiao chuckled, but he was hypocritical. What he wants, he will always hold in his hands, and no one can take it away. And for the first time in his two lives, he experienced the feeling of love, how could it be ruined lightly!

Xiao Qiao looked at Hu Li, who was lying on the window of the carriage and kept exclaiming, and poured him a cup of tea with a smile to moisten his throat, "Wait for two more days, you won't feel novel, I'm afraid I won't be able to sit still in the carriage by then." ”

Hu Li took the teacup, drank it and put it aside, and said indifferently, "It's okay, I want to ride a horse." Brother Xiao, when you get tired of riding in the carriage, let's go horseback riding. ”

Xiao Qiao nodded, "Okay, don't shout pain when the time comes." ”

Hu Li looked at Xiao Qiao suspiciously, "Why do you want to shout pain?" ”

"We'll find out then." Xiao Qiao smiled and touched Hu Li's head, smiling meaningfully. However, Xiao Qiao didn't know it now, and the thing he expected Hu Li to throw into his arms and cry out in pain would not happen in a short time.

Hu Li nodded ignorantly, and continued to lie on the window and look at the scenery outside.

Shuzhu looked at the eldest young master who was different from before, and his heart was furious. The eldest young master, is this going to pit the little boy?

Jiangnan was about a month's journey from the imperial city, and Hu Li was bored on the third day and couldn't sit still in the carriage. Twisting left and right, one moment to see how far outside they had walked, and the next moment lying in the carriage, dozing out boredly.

"Let's go, I'll take you on horseback." Xiao Qiao touched his head lying on his lap, "Shuzhu, go to the carriage in front and talk to the teacher, we will wait for the teacher in the town not far ahead." ”

Shuzhu nodded, and trotted to the carriage in front, Master Li was drinking a little wine, and he crossed his legs comfortably, when he saw the scholar of his proud student running up, "What, Qi Ao drove you out of the car?" ”

Shuzhu shook his head awkwardly, thinking that Master Li is really interesting, why did the eldest young master drive me out of the car, I just came to pass the word, "My lord, my eldest young master wants to accompany the little boy on horseback, and he will wait for the adult in the town ahead." ”

Master Li said "yo", lifted the curtains of the car window, and just saw Xiao Qiao and Hu Li getting out of the carriage, the two guards gave their horses to Xiao Qiao and Hu Li, he turned his head and looked at Shuzhu with a smile, "Anyway, your eldest young master rides a horse, so you can stay here." ”

Shuzhu nodded casually, he had no objection to where he was, anyway, he was sitting in the carriage. Shuzhu thought to himself, when he was free, he had to tell the eldest young master to find someone to teach him to ride a horse, in case the eldest young master had something urgent in the future, he would be able to do it.

Xiao Qiao's half-year martial arts practice has already had some effect, at least his body is no longer as weak as when he just came back, Xiao Qiao looked at the excited Hu Li, "Do you know how to ride a horse?" ”

Hu Li nodded, "Yes, yes." "He used to be able to ride a wildebeest on the mountains of the far north.

Xiao Qiao nodded, watched Hu Li get on the horse neatly, and then got on the other horse in a chic posture, looking at Hu Li's smiling expression, "Even if you can ride a horse, you have to pay attention to safety, you know?" ”

Hu Li nodded perfunctorily, excitedly pointed to the city wall that could already be seen in front of him, and laughed, "Brother Xiao, let's see who arrives at the city wall first, and the one who arrives later agrees to a request from the one who arrives first." ”

Xiao Qiao didn't get angry when he didn't listen, but secretly gave Xia Yi, who had been following them, a look, and asked him to protect Hu Lidian.

Xia Yi has always followed Xiao Qiao's side, and he was the first person to notice that Xiao Qi'ao was unusual to Hu Li. However, he has already recognized Xiao Qiao as the master, even if the master falls in love with a pig, he will not talk much, let alone just like a beautiful and delicate lively young man.

Knowing Xiao Qiao's attention to Hu Li, Xia Yi divided his attention to Hu Li.

"Okay, let's raise the stakes," Xiao Qiao drove to Hu Li's side and said with a smile, "You are still my scholar, if you lose, you will have to be my scholar for one more year." ”

Hu Li wrinkled his nose and said dissatisfiedly: "How can it be that I lose, I will definitely win, and I will eat two chickens a day at that time." ”

"Okay, that's a deal." Xiao Qiao squinted his eyes and laughed, leaned over and touched the horse's mane, "It's up to you." ”

Hu Li lifted his spirits and smiled, "Come, Brother Xiao, let's start here." After speaking, he took the lead and ran out, Xiao Qiao smiled helplessly, and galloped away with a clip on the horse's belly.

Hu Li used to ride a wildebeest on the Far North Mountain and didn't have an accident, because although the wildebeest on the Far North Mountain was not enlightened, it was much smarter than other animals, and Grandpa Hu was there, and the wildebeest didn't dare to throw Hu Li down.

But this horse would have been an ordinary horse, although Hu Li could ride a horse, but he was far from being able to compare to Xiao Qiao, who had superb riding skills. What's more, the horse under his crotch was so frightened by his demon breath that he trembled, and finally let Xiao Qiao behind him catch up.

Hu Li was so angry that he shouted, "Ah, run, run, run, we've been overtaken." ”

The horse rolled his eyes in fright, and although he didn't kneel directly with his legs weak, he didn't run very fast.

The final result is self-evident, Xiao Qiao was waiting for Hu Li in front of the city gate early, looking at Hu Li's unwilling appearance with a pout, he said with a smile: "Xiao Li, you have to be a scholar for me for one more year." ”

Hu Li nodded sullenly, got off the horse, and as soon as he stood firm, the horse ran out for a distance in an instant, looking at Hu Li from a distance.

Hu Li looked at the horse running away in confusion, and then turned back to look at the black horse beside Xiao Qiao, although the black horse did not run, but he was so frightened that he picked up his hooves.

Hu Li frowned instantly, he forgot to restrain the breath on his body, didn't he frighten the horse, couldn't he outrun Brother Xiao!

At this moment, Hu Li wanted to make an excuse and say that it was the horse's fault, so he could only mourn his lost dream of two chickens a day.

In the next few days, Hu Li did not ride a horse again, but began to teach the red halberd to speak again. Since Grandpa Hu came, Chi Ji didn't know what he had been fed, and he had already enlightened himself, and he wanted to roll his eyes when he saw that his stupid master was still chattering. He is an eagle, although he has not grown up yet, how can he talk like a wren!

That stupid wren brother even called him ugly, hmph, although he is not good-looking now, but when he grows up, he will definitely become a fierce and handsome eagle.

Thinking of this, Chi Ji stood on the table, looked at his already handsome side face in the small bronze mirror and shouted proudly.

Hu Li sighed, can't the red halberd really learn to speak? What kind of spirit grass can make the red halberd be able to speak early, without having to wait to refine the demon bone in the throat? He also wants to make the red halberd compare with Brother He's wren, who has a more powerful pet!

Xiao Qiao put the letter written in his hand into the envelope and handed it to Shuzhu, this is a letter to Xiao's house, although he thinks it has only been out for a few days, but yesterday he received a letter from the old lady and Xiao's father, and he still gave them a reply.

They are now in Lingcheng by the sea, and if they go to Jiangnan all the time by carriage, if they don't say anything else, the teacher will definitely not be able to stand it. So next, they will take a boat from Lingcheng and go down the river to Jiangnan.

Xiao Qiao looked at Hu Li, who was lying on the table to teach the red halberd to speak, looked at the carved face of the red halberd that was getting bigger, more stupid and older, and silently turned his head to look at Hu Li's delicate and beautiful face and washed his eyes, "The red halberd and the wren are not a bird in the first place, the red halberd is an eagle, and when you grow up, you can catch prey, and the wren brother can't do this." If you really want someone who can talk, I'll take you to the bird walk to pick a starling or a parrot, they can learn to talk just like the wren. ”

Hu Li's eyes lit up, and just as he was about to nod, he saw the red halberd's first sharp eagle eyes looking at him quietly. Hu Li shook his head bitterly, "No, no need, I still have a red halberd." ”

Chi Ji retracted his gaze with satisfaction, and continued to look at his beautiful side face in the bronze mirror, with a handsome pet like me, I still want to empathize and say goodbye, it's a great crime!
