The evening breeze blew, and the candle flame swayed, and the candle shadow swayed in the small guest hall.

With the crackling sound, Xin Kang burst into tears. The guilt buried deep in his heart was all turned over with Qin Keqing's inquiry.

"Back to my lord's words, my humble wife and children did live in Zhujiazhuang, but..."

The atmosphere instantly became a little awkward, and even Nangong Feifei pursed her lips, for fear that she couldn't help but say some inappropriate words for a while.

Seeing his tears flowing, Qin Keqing couldn't bear to interrupt, so he slowly lowered his eyes, picked up the tea cup that Cao's had already prepared, and handed it to his lips and took a shallow sip.

Xin Kang, who hid his face and cried bitterly, probably felt that such a look should not appear in front of this adult, and after a few breaths, he forcibly suppressed the grief and indignation in his heart, straightened up and said with a wry smile: "I used to live in Zhujiazhuang, but later Zhujiazhuang was broken into by bandits and was brutally killed. ”

Hearing this, Qin Keqing's face froze, and he was suddenly surprised: "Didn't you just say that Zhujiazhuang is heavily guarded?" How could there be a bandit breaking in? ”

Xin Kang stretched out his hand to wipe the tears from his cheeks, and shook his head helplessly, "I don't know what is going on, I also received news that my wife and children were killed, and I don't know any details." ”

"Did the thief ever bow to the law?" Qin Keqing thought for a moment, then asked softly, "You should always know this." ”

Unexpectedly, Xin Kang still shook his head, and said with a guilty face: "Don't talk about thieves, even the corpses of my wife and children have not been found yet." ”

"What?" Nangong Feifei, who had been sitting peacefully, jumped up and asked, "It's not just that the thief didn't find it, it's just... That's it," said this, feeling that the word corpse was too disrespectful, so he changed his words and continued: "As the saying goes, you have to see people in life, and you have to see corpses in death, you haven't seen anything, how can you conclude that they are separated from your yin and yang?" ”

Originally, his heart was already like ashes, but when he heard this, he was shocked, and quickly nodded: "The girl is right, you have to see people in life, and you have to see corpses in death, I haven't seen anything now, I haven't seen anything now!" ”

Xin Kang, who has been struggling in the flow of sorrow, now sees the driftwood of hope, and holds him tightly in his arms.

Although he still had tears on his face, and his eyes were still full of tears, the same eyes emitted a completely different light from just now.

Seeing him like this, Qin Keqing couldn't continue to say anything, so he pursed the corners of his mouth and smiled slightly. She knows that the power of hope is immeasurable.

Just looked at him motionless for a moment, and then slowly raised his hand and motioned for Xin Kang to come over.

Xin Kang, who was in a good mood, took two steps and leaned over.

"I already know about Zhujiazhuang," Qin Keqing lowered his voice and continued to a level that could only be heard in the surroundings: "I will go over and take a look at it one day, but there is something I need you to do right now." ”

I was glad to hear that there was a task to arrange for Xin Kangdeng, and if you want to achieve something, you must have something. There are more than 100 golden guards, doing the same work and eating the same meals every day, and it is really difficult to stand out.

Only by accumulating military merits can you slowly get through, but in addition to patrolling all day long, what can you do with additional tasks for you to rob, and finally made a snitch in the palace last night, but I was still messed up by myself.

Go back, don't say it's an invitation, it's the leaders of the same period, and if they don't lead the way in front of him, even if they are the ancestors of the Xin family, they will accumulate virtue.

Now that he heard that this adult has a mission, how can he not be happy, not to mention that this girl also reminded him just now that it is extremely stupid to conclude that his wife and children are no longer alive without seeing the remains.

Thinking of this, he hugged his fists and replied with a solemn expression: "Humble Xinkang, I am willing to listen to the dispatch of my lord, and I will not hesitate to go to the soup and fire." ”

As for the words of loyalty, Qin Keqing had already heard the calloused ears, and he didn't pay attention to it at all, just nodded slightly, and continued: "You also saw it when it was right, I had a group of people tied up outside. ”

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed to the bandit who was tied up like a dumpling outside, and continued: "You escorted this group of people to the Terracotta Division in the western suburbs, and told the commander on duty to be strictly guarded, and if one is missing, let him come to see me. And be careful on the road. ”

Hearing this, Xin Kang gasped, how dare he, a small team leader, shout at the commander of the Terracotta Division, he frowned, but he didn't dare to ask for paperwork.

Qin Keqing seemed to guess what he was thinking, so he took out a seal from his waist, but because there was no paper, he smiled at Nangong Feifei and said softly: "Sister, is it good to borrow your handkerchief?" ”

Nangong Feifei's expression was stunned, and she pouted: "You will save trouble, don't borrow!" Although he said that he would not borrow it, he did not stop for a moment in his hand, and took out a handkerchief and handed it over.

"You said you wouldn't borrow it," Qin Keqing stretched out his hand to take it, stamping a seal on it, and quipped: "Since it's not borrowed, it's for me!" ”

After the seal was printed on the scarf, Qin Keqing handed it to Xin Kang casually, and said in a calm tone: "Now you can go with peace of mind, as for the palace, I will say hello to the feudal commander." ”

Hearing this, Xin Kang almost jumped up with excitement, and the greeting that the adults said was not a greeting between the two sides when they met and nodded to each other, but a recommendation for good words.

He nodded excitedly and thanked, "Thank you for the cultivation, and the little ones will take the brothers to the western suburbs." After saying that, he really clenched his fists, turned his head and walked out of the hall, and ordered his subordinates to get to work.

The guards had been hungry for a day, and they were angry, and when they heard that they were going to the western suburbs overnight, they boarded the fire and punched and kicked the bandits, and slapped them in a row.

Wen Ziqi, who had been standing next to him, seemed to guess what they were doing like this, so he beckoned Qi Le to come over and order: "Go, say hello to the shopkeeper here, and see if there are any ready-made snacks for them." ”

Qi Le was stunned at first, looked at him blankly, and then suddenly smiled with a realized smile: "Okay, I know, I'll do it!" Before he could speak, the man had already jumped to the back kitchen.

Everyone was still surprised, why did this Qi Le suddenly babble a word, and then disappeared, and even asked, "What's the matter?" Qi Le, this kid has been separated for a day, how did he become a monkey! ”

While laughing, the guards were ready to go to the western suburbs at any time, just waiting for Xin Kang's order. But what I was waiting for was a sentence of "Wait a minute!" ”

Everyone followed the prestige, only to see Qi Le running out of the side door with a big burden in his hand. Three steps and two steps came to Xin Kang, showing off: "Head, look what I have brought!" ”

Xin Kang glanced at Qi Le and scolded, "What good things can you kid have!" He was not polite when he said it, he directly reached out and took the burden and weighed it, then opened it suspiciously, and said in surprise: "Where did you get the money to buy such a high-end snack." ”

As soon as the guards heard that there was something to eat, they looked at Wen Ziqi suspiciously. They naturally saw the actions of the two just now, and Qi Le had a few copper plates on his body, and they could roughly guess it.

So if this burden is really a high-end dim sum as Xin Kang said, then it must be given to them by the adult in front of them.

What's more, at this time, they are already hungry with their chests and backs, and this burden of snacks is really a relief for them.

Wen Ziqi smiled slightly, and said lightly: "The road is far away, I wish you all peace and well!" ”

A simple and simple sentence, without embellishment, but it made the hearts of all the guards warm, and this group of flesh-and-blood men were silent at this moment.

After a long time, I saw them look at each other, and they clasped their fists in unison, "Lord Xie!" ”

Xin Kang, who was fighting on the steps, looked at everything in front of him, his eyes were even hotter, and he raised his voice: "Let's go!" ”

Because Lao Li Shang was lying on the bed, Qi Le could only watch this group of opposite-sex brothers slowly disappear into the night.

Just as everyone was silent, a soft sigh sounded in their ears, "I hope there's nothing wrong with them." ”

Qi Le, who was feeling sad, heard this, and hurriedly followed the prestige, only to see Qin Keqing with his arms crossed, his eyes like electricity, looking at the people who were far away.

It seemed that she was quite concerned about what she said just now, so Qi Le asked softly: "Lord Qin, what did you mean when you just said that you hoped they had nothing to do, the little one didn't understand very well!" ”

Perhaps because he was Wen Ziqi's apprentice, Qin Keqing did not get angry at his unreasonableness, but explained: "Because they are not escorting ordinary bandits!" ”

Qi Le, who didn't know the truth, looked at her blankly, thinking about it and not knowing what it meant to be an ordinary bandit, so he continued to ask: "My lord, what do you mean by not being an ordinary bandit, I think they are a little stronger than ordinary bandits."

Wen Ziqi, who had been hiding in the shadows, chuckled when he heard this, and said: "Yes, I actually found the difference, then let me ask you, if you are good, why do you want to go to the mountains to fall into the grass?" ”

When Qi Le heard this, he seemed to feel that something was wrong, and after thinking about it carefully, he shook his head and said: "If you live a good life and can be fed and clothed, who wants to go up the mountain and fall into the grass and live a life of hiding in Tibet all day long." Speaking of this, as if he had found something, he looked up at Wen Ziqi.

"How?" Wen Ziqi's eyes lit up, and he said softly, "Did you find anything?" ”

Qi Le nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Look at their figures, they don't look like they can't eat at all, they all have big shoulders and round waists, and they can't get through the slightest look, and there are knives..." ”
