Ziqi and Li Jiao returned to the imperial guard camp, and Li Hong saw that Ziqi and the two of them were back, so he hurriedly came over with a smile and asked, "Brother, how is it?" Is Mrs. Shaoshu still satisfied? ”

Li Jiao raised his hand and slapped him, "Don't be crooked, take care of Heifeng!" ”

Li Hong smiled, "Don't worry, I've already fed it in the stable, it's quite honest." ”

It was rare for the child to be in a good mood today, so he entered the camp and greeted Fei Zhong and said, "Mr. Fei Zhong, I just have nothing to do tonight, how about we go find a wine house to drink together?" ”

Fei Zhong waved his hand, "My injury is not healed yet, you go to yours, I just need to rest more." ”

Seeing that he was unwilling, Ziqi did not force it too much, and took the Li brothers into the market.

There are a total of five street markets in the capital city, and although the prosperity is not as good as that of Chaoge, it can be regarded as the second largest metropolis in the Yin Shang era.

The three brothers picked one of the largest wine houses, and the children asked the Li Jiao brothers to go in first, and he was going to buy some fruit to drink.

The wine house at the time of Yin Shang only sold wine and meat, and although it had been half a year since the sub-period, it still did not fully adapt to it.

Although peaches, plums, apricots, and pears were already common fruits in the Yin Shang period, only pears could be bought in this season, and some pine nuts and chestnuts were bought.

Ziqi took out the money bag from his waist and paid two money shells. Then he walked to the wine house, and before he got out of the street, his back was slammed into his waist, and a thin figure ran forward, and Ziqi heard a soft jingle in his waist, and when he reached out and touched it, the money bag was gone.

Ziqi smiled secretly, "It turns out that the history of thieves is still very long!" ”

Fortunately, Xiannong was careful, worried that the shell coins would be easy to break, and all he brought to him were copper shell coins, so he made a sound, otherwise he would not notice if he was stolen.

hurriedly chased forward, the little thief ran quite fast, and it took a lot of effort to catch up.

He grabbed the thief's clothes and stuck a hand of dust. Choked so much that he almost couldn't breathe, and fanned his nose with his hand, "You're running fast?" Give me back the money? ”

The thief wore a big bullshit hat that covered half of his face, and his clothes were not only torn and full of holes, but also dirty, full of dirt and mud, and a pair of swarthy hands clutched the money bag tightly behind his back.

Ziqi raised his hand and lifted his hat up, revealing a pair of dark eyes, full of horror. Ziqi stretched out his hand to him, "Give it back to me!" ”

"Don't give it!" The thin body tried to hide backwards.

Ziqi was happy, "You stole my money and it was quite arrogant, believe it or not, I beat you?" ”

"I won't give it! You are a white ganzi (Qilu dialect, white, tender and tall look), don't talk to me sweetly (Qilu dialect, hippie smiley). "The thief is very persistent.

Ziqi listened to his accent very special, squatting down, "I don't hear that your accent is not like Xiqi, where are you from?" ”

"If I say it, do you still want money?" Although he trembled with fear, his purse was clutched tightly.

"Let's talk first." As soon as Ziqi let go of his hand, the thief was about to run away, and he pulled it back, and there was another hole in the clothes that were full of holes.

"Don't look at me directly, I'm from Bogu!" The thief said tremblingly.

Ziqi was taken aback, "I can't see it, you're still a long-distance sergeant!" "Bo Guguo is far away in the land of Qilu, and he actually stole all the way to Xiqi, and he suddenly became interested.

The thief didn't understand the words of the child, and he looked dazed.

Seeing that he was only a teenager, Ziqi asked in as soft a tone as possible, "What's your name?" How old is it? How did you come to Xiqi? ”

"You asked so much, I told you, do you still want money?" The thief is really a money-gotten tricker.

Ziqi was so angry that he grabbed him by the shoulder, "Are you going to be honest, believe it or not, I really beat you?" ”

The thief shook off his hand and said, "Just say it, don't touch me!" ”

Ziqi nodded, "Okay, you can say it!" ”

The thief snorted, "We Bo Gu, originally the royal family of Bo Gu, my name is Bo Gulai, and I am thirteen years old this year."

My grandfather was the king of Bogu, and four years ago, my grandfather died, and my father was supposed to inherit the throne. However, my uncle colluded with the Bian clan to usurp my father's throne, and chased and killed us everywhere, so we had to flee to Chaoge.

After arriving at Chaoge, Taibu took us in and turned us into slaves at home. Three years ago, when Qishui was in trouble, the king wanted to sacrifice to the god of Qishui, and Taibu wanted to use me as a living sacrifice, so my father took me to escape overnight and fled to Xiqi. In the past two years in Xiqi, my father took me to beg for food for a living. ”

Ziqi looked at the ragged child in front of him, who had such a bumpy experience, but as a royal family, he was reduced to begging on the streets for a living.

"What about your father?" Ziqi asked sympathetically.

Bo Gulai cried with a grin, "My father died in the mountain temple, and I didn't have money to bury it, so I stole your money bag." Ziqi saw him snort and tears, and washed his face out of the mud.

Ziqi pulled him up, "Don't cry, I don't want the money, take me to see it, and find someone to bury your father." ”

Bo Gulai stuffed the money bag into the sub-period, "You help me!" ”

Ziqi directly took him to the coffin shop to buy a coffin, and spent money to hire a few people, and went to the mountain temple outside the city together.

The three temples were in tatters, and the roofs were gone. A few people carried the dead body out of the corner of the wall, and it had been dead for a few days, but fortunately it was early winter, otherwise it would have rotted and gone.

The body was buried, and it was already sunset.

Bo Gulai cried again in front of the grave before standing up and looking at Zi Qi pitifully.

"What are your plans for the future? Are you still staying in Xiqi? Ziqi asked.

Bo Gulai wiped a handful of snot, "I don't have a home, it's the same wherever I go, let me follow you in the future, I know that you, a white ganzi, are kind-hearted, I will do anything, and I won't eat in vain!" ”

Ziqi patted him on his dogskin hat, "Okay, come back to the wine house with me to find someone." ”

The two of them returned to the wine house, and before they could enter the house, they were blocked out by the restaurant, pointing to Bo Gulai's bitter gourd face and saying: "Master Ke, why don't you take him with you, you let him into the house, I won't do this business!" ”

Bo Gulai rolled her eyes, "Why not, won't he give you money?" ”

The shopkeeper smiled bitterly on his face, opened his hand to stop in front and refused to get out of the way, "You just have pity on me, business is not good!" ”

Bo Gulai went up and kicked him hard, Ziqi hurriedly grabbed it, took out twenty coins from the money bag, handed it to him, and said: "Take out a set of clothes that suit him from the inside out and exchange them for him, is this money enough?" ”

As soon as the shopkeeper saw the money, he immediately changed to a smiling face, and said that the three sets of exchanges were left, and he hurriedly led Bo Gulai to the back.

The child was waiting on the counter in the front store, and there was a commotion in the back.

Ji Fa walked out with a group of people, and was stunned when he saw Ziqi, and then smiled: "What a coincidence, why did my cousin come over too?" ”

Ziqi smiled, "The sky and the earth are big, and Xiqi is not big!" ”

Behind Ji Fa stood Hetuo, Zhai Si, Cangxu and others. Several people saw that the roots of their teeth itched with hatred, and they stepped on the plank under their feet with a snort.

Hetuo asked proudly: "The son of the child has such leisure and leisure, it seems that tomorrow's competition is already ready, right?" ”

Ziqi smiled faintly, "I don't dare to say it with confidence, but if I want to deal with a few of you, it shouldn't be difficult." ”

Cangxu pursed his lips, "If you want to talk about kung fu, we are willing to bow to the wind, but this sword and bow horse, hehe, you have to see the real ability!" ”

A few people were arguing, and Bo Gulai came from behind, watching them turn around. After changing into a new outfit, he looked much more energetic, white and clean. The sloppy appearance has long been gone, and he stares at them with a strange expression.

Ji Fa was a little impatient, "Forget it, everyone is a distinguished guest of Xiqi, and peace is still precious." Cousin, let's go first. ”

Seeing them come out, Bo Gulai hurriedly ran to the back store and crashed into Hetuo's arms.

Hetuo pushed him angrily, "Little ghost, you don't have long eyes?" ”

Bo Gulai hurriedly flashed to the side, Zi Qi looked at their backs and took a sip, pulled Bo Gulai and walked into the back hall door. Bo Gulai grinned and handed a sheepskin pouch in his hand to Ziji.

Ziqi was stunned, "What is this?" ”

Bo Gulai took out small clay pots from inside, put them in front of his nose and smelled them, "Poison!" ”

Ziqi looked surprised, "Where did you come from?" ”

Bo Gulai raised her little face, "Steal, that big man stole it!" ”

Zi Ji returned the sheepskin bag to Bo Gulai, "Nonsense! ”

The two of them went upstairs and scared the child so much that he almost fell down the stairs. I saw that the two Li Jiao brothers had blue faces, foaming at the mouth, and the wine on the table in front of them was spilled on the ground.

Ziqi hurriedly pushed a few times, and the two of them closed their eyes tightly and fell unconscious. Bo Gulai picked up the wine and shook it and sniffed it, "They are poisoned, it must be poisoned by a big man." ”

After speaking, he opened the sheepskin pouch neatly, opened the small clay pot, sniffed them one by one, handed a jar of white pills to Ziqi and said, "This is the antidote!" ”

The two of them pried open the mouths of the two of them and fed each one a pill. After half a pillar of incense, the two of them woke up leisurely. Zi Chang breathed a long sigh of relief, and Bo Gulai tilted his head and asked, "Am I still very useful?" ”

Zi Qiyi was happy, rubbed his face fiercely with both hands, and pinched a smiling face into a meat bun, "Not only useful, you are especially useful!" ”

Bo Gulai angrily shook off his hand and slapped him hard, "Bai Ganzi, don't touch me!" ”

Ziqi threw away Bo Gulai and asked Li Jiao, "What's the matter with you?" ”

It turned out that after the child period went, Li Jiao and Li Hong brothers entered the wine house, and they met Ji Fa and the envoys of all countries drinking and having fun. Ji Fa recognized Li Jiao, so he pretended to invite a piece.

Li Jiao knew that Ji Fa was the young son of Xiqi, and Ji Huan's brother, so he didn't care at all, so he naturally sat together.

Hetuo, the prince of Kunyi, heard that Li Jiao was also going to compete in martial arts, so he poisoned them and drugged their wine, Ji Fa pretended not to see it when he saw it, and he wished to get rid of Li Jiao, so as not to spoil the plan.

After listening to Li Hong's words, Ziqi secretly shouted that it was dangerous, if it wasn't for the extraneous branch that met Bo Gulai, the lives of the two brothers would be hanging up.

Bo Gulai said with a smug face: "Of course you just came to Xiqi, of course you don't know, the Kunyi people are from the north, believe in the Fire Sect, and are the best at using poison.

Not only do they use poison when they harm people, but they also use poison when the two armies fight wars. In this way, they annexed other Kunyi tribes before they became stronger.

Their Kunyi customs are disgusting, and their work is so despicable that it is disgusting and obscene. ”

A few people asked the shopkeeper to change a set of tableware, ordered a lot of dishes, and put dried fruits and pears on the table for wine.

Bo Gulai looked at the delicious dishes one by one, and reached out to grab them.

Ziqi was worried that he would not be able to eat a full meal, so he handed her a pear and said, "Eat this first!" Bo Gulai took a bite and threw it away, "It's sour, it's not delicious!" ”

Li Jiao and Li Hong laughed, seeing that he spoke interestingly, and he was their savior, they liked this child very much.

When the wine was half-drunk, Ziqi instructed Li Jiao: "Brother, tomorrow's martial arts competition, if you say that it is better than archery and horse archery, I am not worried, let alone the Xiqi countries, even within the four seas, no one can win against you; If it's a sword and spear, I'm really worried. You have to be careful, you have seen what happened today, these people are very insidious. ”

Li Hong said nonchalantly: "Brother Erwang, I don't think my brother will make a mistake, since you passed on to us the marksmanship and swordsmanship in Chifeng Village, our brothers have practiced every day but have not lost a day." ”

Bo Gulai's dark eyes widened, "Why does he call you Brother Wang?" So you're the prince of Xiqi? ”

Ziqi stopped Bo Gulai and said to Li Jiao: "You can't say that, on the battlefield, prudence a hundred times may not be effective, but carelessness may be killed once, the two armies fight for their lives, and they can't be careless at all, it's better to be careful!" ”

Li Jiao nodded, "Second brother, I remember, tomorrow in the martial arts arena, I will definitely kill Hetuo's sinister villain." ”

A few people were full of wine and food, and they paid the money and left the wine house together.

Ziqi asked Bo Gulai to live in the barracks with the Li brothers, he said that he would not die, so he grabbed Ziqi's shirt and held on, "Bai Ganzi, that can't be done, you promised me, I have to follow you all the time." ”

The child felt like he had been stained with a sticky plaster, and he couldn't shake it off. "You can follow me, don't call me for nothing, okay?"

Bo Gulai pursed his lips, "You are white and tall, you are a white man!" ”

The two of them returned to the inn, and after drinking wine, their eyes were a little open, so they simply washed up and went to sleep.

Bo Gulai took off his dogskin hat, took off his cotton boots, sat next to Ziqi and asked, "You don't snore when you sleep, do you?" ”

He closed his eyes and shook his head.

"You can't grit your teeth and fart, do you?" He looked serious.

Ziqi didn't bother to pay attention to him.

Bo Gulai pulled up and slipped down from the horn and got in.

"What are you doing? You don't even take off your cotton clothes? The child was taken aback.

Bo Gulai looked aggrieved, "I've slept like this for so many years, and I can't sleep when I take it off!" ”

Ziqi looked impatient, turned over, and after a while, a snoring sounded.

"If you don't snore, you know how to deceive!" Bo Gulai covered her ears with her hands.
