As soon as they heard this, the three of them hurriedly stood up, and Qi Yu also slowly stood up. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

After a while, a burly, sturdy middle-aged man walked in, and when he first stepped into the threshold, he first raised his eyes to look at the three strange young men in the room, his brass bell-like eyes were blazing, and his beard was still with his slightly open lips. Due to the wind and rain on the battlefield all year round, his face is black and purple, but he is majestic and energetic.

General Qi Zhao was stunned for a moment before he raised his steps and walked towards the hall.

"Father, these are the two people I told you earlier, Miss Lin and Gongzi Lin, this Tang girl has been singing since she was singing and is their friend." Qi Yu pointed to Lin Luo and the three of them to introduce them one by one.

"The folk girl Lin Luo has seen the general."

"Grass people Lin Xun has seen the general."

"The people's daughter Tang Guxi has seen the general."

The three of them met the famous General Qi of Liangyu Country for the first time, so they were somewhat restrained, and at this moment, in front of the general, everyone saluted respectfully, not daring to make too many moves. Qi Yu stood behind Qi Zhao and looked at the three restrained people in front of him with a smile, which seemed to be interesting.

"The three of you don't have to be polite." Qi Zhao waved his hand, "I know that you and Yu'er have a very good relationship, and you are also a martial artist, so we can be regarded as a family." What's more—" Qi Zhao exhaled, his eyes drooping to the ground, as if recalling something, "What's more, the letter that you two handed me was written by one of my old friends, so for whatever reason, the old man can't drive the three of you away." ”

After that, he laughed out loud, General Qi was a cheerful person, and he sincerely welcomed them, and the three of them also saw it, so they also laughed, and the restraint of Fang Cai disappeared.

"You may be seated." Qi Zhao stretched out his hand and invited them to take their seats, and he also stepped forward to sit on the main seat, and Qi Yu and the other four sat on both sides in turn.

"After the two of you entered the mansion last time, I didn't have time to meet the two of you, and I happened to receive the king's edict on that day, so I hurriedly went to the border. When I come back, you two will be out of the house for a long time. Qi Zhao was like a homely man, without the usual fierceness of a majestic general, but said slowly with a peaceful face, "Later, I always heard Yu'er mention you, especially this Lin girl, I heard that the martial arts are extraordinary and outstanding. My family Yu'er has always been higher than the sky, and he has never heard him talk about someone, but he only admires you again and again, and is willing to bow down. When I saw it today, the girl was really heroic and extraordinary, and her bearing was not bad. ”

Qi Zhao looked at Lin Luo with a smile and nodded slightly in praise.

"Father, I never said, 'Bow to the wind.'" Qi Yu smiled at his father, "The two of us, the moves are all drawn." But...... Miss Lin really made Zai Xia admire. His gaze turned to the woods.

Lin Luo never expected General Qi to talk about her, and there was no shortage of compliments, so his face was a little ashamed for a while, and he said with a dry smile: "General Qi has really won the award, Lin Luo is just skilled in martial arts, far less than the majesty of the general Jin Ge Iron Horse, who leads the army to fight, and Qi Yu ...... Qi Gongzi's martial arts are extraordinary, and they are not as good as they are. ”

"Oh?" When Qi Yu heard this, the corners of his eyebrows were raised, and he pretended to be surprised, "Miss Lin really thinks so?" ”

Lin Luo raised his eyes and glanced at him, but did not say anything, and took his gaze back.

Qi Zhao laughed and said loudly: "Miss Lin is a modest person, if you want to talk about the level in the future, just continue to compete." The four of you are all young people, and you and Yu'er have always talked to each other, so stay longer. The cold mansion has always been deserted and lonely, it is always good to have more people, and you don't have to be restrained, if you need anything, just order your subordinates to do it. After that, he turned his head to look at Qi Yu, "Yu'er, in the future, these friends of yours will be handed over to you to take care of, be sure to treat them well." ”

"If the father doesn't say it, the child will do the same." Qi Yu said.

Qi Zhao nodded, beckoned to the person standing outside the door, and said, "Ye Ying, you go and arrange a few servants and maids, let them pack up a few rooms and come out, and let the distinguished guests live." My son and I will go to the study first, and we will talk about important matters, and after you have made arrangements, we will also come to the study together. ”

Ye Ying is Qi Zhao's deputy general, his age is about the same as Qi Yu, he is neither old nor young, and he can talk to Qi Yu, so he usually lives in the general's mansion. Although he was not in the barracks, he did his duty, listened to the orders of the general and the major general, and was loyal, honest, and diligent.

Lin Luo and the three of them had no fixed place to live for several days, so they were already tired, and after General Qi gave the order, Ye Ying took them out of the hall and walked towards the side courtyard.

Qi Zhao got up and walked to the threshold, but he didn't move. Qi Yu also got up and was about to leave with his father, but when he walked to his father's side, he found that his father was looking up at the three people walking away in front of him, his brows slightly raised, his eyes were deep, and he seemed to be thinking about something. It wasn't until the three of them disappeared at the end of the verandah that he seemed to come back to his senses, but he didn't say a word, but a look of contemplation and sorrow.

"Father," Qi Yu wondered, "What is Father thinking?" ”

Qi Zhao sighed and shook his head, his face was no longer full of pleasure, but much more solemn, "Let's go, let's go to the study." ”

Qi Yu watched his father walk out in confusion, and he could faintly feel that what his father found in Lin Luo and them, it was either Lin Luo or Tang Guxi. He glanced back at the corner of the verandah, where the figure had long since disappeared, and turned to follow his father.

In the study, Qi Zhao stood still at the table, and after Qi Yu came in, he turned around and closed the door, came to his father and asked, "What did my father want to say?" ”

Qi Zhao didn't rush to speak, but slowly walked to the wooden chair and sat down, holding his hands on the armrests, and muttered: "It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly remembered an old person, an old person who has passed away." ”

"Father is saying...... That Tang girl? ”

"Nope." Qi Zhao shook his head, raised his eyes and glanced at him, as if he didn't understand why Qi Yu said this, "It's Miss Lin." ”

"Forest?" Qi Yu was very surprised and asked, "Which old man did my father think of by her?" ”

Qi Zhao's eyes were long, looking ahead from afar, and after a long time, he took a deep breath, spit it out heavily, smiled bitterly twice, and said, "That's it, maybe I guessed wrong." It's just that the girl's side face makes me a little familiar. However, the world is the same, all living beings, and similar people are like smoke and clouds, so we really shouldn't worry about this anymore. ”

Qi Yu nodded with a frown, was silent for a moment, and suddenly said, "Father, actually...... In fact, there is a saying that children don't know whether to say it or not. ”

"Just tell me." Qi Zhao raised his head.

"Father just said that Miss Lin reminds you of an old friend, and the child once had a moment of experience, as if he had competed with her a long time ago. Half a year ago, Lin Luo and I did have a martial arts competition all day long, and the familiarity was not in the appearance, not in the moves, but in the details of the gestures. After Qi Yu said that, he looked at Qi Zhao, "Father, do you remember where you went when you were a child?" ”

Qi Zhao smiled lightly, "You have been to many places with me when you were young, and now that you are speaking, I am afraid it will not be effective." ”

"It seems that the child is thinking too much." Qi Yu said with a smile.

"Yu'er, you tell your father the truth, what do the three of them want to do when they come to Xuanyang?" A moment later, Qi Zhao's words sounded again.

A hint of panic flashed between Qi Yu's eyebrows, but he quickly hid it, his face was calm, and he asked his father: "Didn't that letter say it?" It was the letter they brought to their father. ”

"That letter was written by a concubine of the king of Xizhou, and I had a relationship with her, but it was more than ten years ago, and now things are not people, but they are just loyal to people by friendship. The letter only stated that I wanted to take care of them, and did not say much else. I think you have a good relationship with them, and it is impossible for you not to know why. ”

Qi Yu listened and was silent for a long time. 's father is a general in the army, and he has always had the courage not to be angry and arrogant, and Fang Cai's words do not leave a way out, it seems that it has to be said. Qi Yu knew this very well, so he didn't dare to be ambiguous. After thinking about it for a while, he looked at his father and said, "Father, in fact, they ......."

"Yu'er." Qi Zhao suddenly opened his mouth and interrupted him suddenly, Qi Yu stopped and looked up at his father. I saw that his father's eyes were looking at him sternly, father and son looked at each other, and there was a sudden silence in the study. Qi Yu didn't know what his father was going to say, so he didn't dare to speak first.

"Well, you don't know how to be a father or force you." Qi Zhao sighed lightly as if relieved, then stood up, slowly walked around the table, and when he passed by Qi Yu's side, he put a hand on his shoulder, and said earnestly: "I don't want to know for my father, I want to be my father...... As long as you remember one sentence. ”

"Father, please."

"No matter what happens, be sure to protect the three of them thoroughly, and ......," Qi Zhao paused, "Whatever they want to do, you just have to help." ”

Qi Yu was stunned, followed by a moment of silence, "Yes." ”

Qi Zhao nodded, and the hand on his shoulder slapped it lightly twice. At this moment, a voice sounded at the door, and Ye Ying pushed the door in.

"General, General." Ye Ying entered the doorway.

"It's all arranged?"

"It's all arranged, and the three of them are probably tired from the journey, and now they are all resting in the room. I left a few maids there to take care of their daily lives. ”

Qi Zhao nodded, "That's good." ”

"General, you just came back from the palace, did something happen to the frontier?"

"Qiao Jiang has been restless for half a year," Qi Yu said, "This time, for the sake of the cities around Jingshui, it is even more panicked and troublesome. I think my father was summoned to the palace this time for this purpose, right? ”

Qi Zhao nodded and sighed: "Yes, today, General Sima has already set off from Xuanyang, if Qiao Jiang can accept the conditions listed by my Liang Yu and not hurt Liang Yu's interests, then we will not be able to send troops." However, if the negotiation fails, then it is necessary—"

Qi Yu and Ye Ying both lowered their eyes, frowned slightly, and after a while, Qi Yu asked, "Then how long will it take for General Sima to set off from Xuanyang and reach the Western Realm?" ”

"At least half a month, at most...... That doesn't have to be. Coupled with the time of stay and the time of return, I am afraid it will be two months later. After Qi Zhao finished speaking, he felt puzzled and glanced at Qi Yu, "Why are you asking this?" ”

Qi Yu pondered for a moment, and did not rush to answer, but asked again: "How sure is my father about whether to go on this expedition?" ”

Qi Zhao came back to his senses and thought about it: "In my opinion, Qiao Jiang maliciously caused trouble first, so whether General Sima goes or not, in fact, it doesn't have much effect. This expedition is probably something that has already been decided. ”

After hearing this, a smile seemed to appear on Qi Yu's face, and he nodded: "The child knows." Father, when we set out on the expedition in two months, I'm afraid we're going to take Miss Lin with us. ”
