When the carriage blocked the way, Ke Rong raised his vigilance and looked at the luxurious carriage. Under Ke Rong's gaze, a gorgeously dressed and handsome young man lifted the curtain and jumped out of the carriage.

As soon as Chen Kui and the others saw the young man who jumped out of the carriage, they saluted the young man respectfully, "Young Master Tianxi." ”

"He is what we called Young Master Tianxi on the road," Chen Kui whispered in Ke Rong's ear.

"Cousin Tian Xi," Chen Ling'er shouted happily and jumped out of his carriage, and fell into Tian Xi's arms at once.

"Ling'er, you miss your cousin!" Tian Xi hugged Chen Ling'er and reveled in the sweetness of a long-lost meeting.

"Ahem," Chen Tao got out of the carriage and coughed dryly twice to remind the sweet pair.

Tian Xi woke up from happiness at this time, and pushed Chen Ling'er away with some embarrassment, bowed to Chen Tao and said, "Uncle." ”

Chen Ling'er left Tian Xi's embrace only to find the surprised gaze from all directions, her face instantly turned crimson, and she lowered her head shyly, looking for a gap in the ground, so that she could get in and hide.

Chen Tao looked Tian Xi up and down for a while, and then smiled with a satisfied smile: "My good nephew, why did you come here to pick us up?" ”

"Uncle, don't call me nephew anymore in Jiankang Mansion!" Tian Xi was dissatisfied with Chen Tao's title to David: "You can call me Tian Gongzi in the future, after all, this is Jiankang Mansion, not like our small place." ”

"Tian Gongzi, Tian Gongzi," Chen Tao muttered a few words awkwardly and then became attentive, and said with a smile to Tian Xi: "Tian Gongzi, why did you come to pick us up without tire, it's really an honor for me to wait!" ”

"Since I received the letter that you are coming to health, I am afraid that you will have trouble on the road, so I sent two people to protect you in secret," Tian Xi looked back at Chen Ling'er and said in a flattering tone: "They only came back this morning to inform me that you are about to arrive, and I rushed to pick you up as soon as I heard the news." ”

"Tian Gongzi has a heart," Chen Tao looked at Chen Ling'er with a crimson face and continued: "It's not in vain that Ling'er misses you so much!" ”

Hearing this, Chen Linger's face became even redder, and she was a little shy and a little coquettish and shouted, "Dad." ”

Tian Xi glanced around the crowd, and when he saw Ke Rong's shabby appearance, he frowned slightly, and asked Chen Tao, "Who is that?" ”

Hearing this, Chen Tao pulled Ke Rong in front of Tian Xi and introduced: "This is the little hero Ke Rong who rescued us when we met robbers in Baihuling. ”

"Ten taels of silver," Tian Xi didn't pay too much attention to this shabby poor boy, and casually ordered the servant behind him, and the old servant took out ten taels of silver and went to reward Ke Rong.

"Two wastes, didn't I ask you to protect the good lady?" Although Tian Xi ignored Ke Rong, after hearing about Chen Tao and the others in distress, he turned around and scolded the two subordinates beside him in an unusually angry manner: "Where were you when Ling'er Baihuling was in distress? ”

"Childe is wronged," the two big men hurriedly knelt on the ground and explained with sincere fear: "When we received your order and rushed over, Miss, they had already passed the White Tiger Ridge." ”

"Hmph, dereliction of duty still dare to quibble," Tian Xi slapped the two big men in anger, turned his face to Chen Tao and said: "Uncle, these two wastes are not good and have put you in danger, now you say, what are you going to do with them?" ”

"This" Chen Tao was a little overwhelmed by Tian Xi's sudden change of face, and he hesitated for a long time before he interceded for the two big men nervously, "This can't all be blamed on them, it's us and I who are hurrying too fast, and aren't we okay now?" Tian Gongzi, you don't have to blame them too much! ”

"Although we were not able to catch up with Baihuling, we were watching in the dark on the way later!" One of the big men went on to explain: "A few days ago, when the young lady met two more robbers, we shot them to death! ”

"When did you hide in the grass and shoot the two robbers?" Chen Tao asked.

"Uh-huh! That's the two of us," and at the sight of the witness, the nervousness of the two big men gradually subsided, and they began to tell the details of the day when they shot the two poor people who escaped. The smug look between the two of them as if they had done a great deed, waiting for their master's appreciation. But they didn't notice that Ke Rong, who was standing on the side, clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and stared at the two big men with bloodshot eyes, listening to what they said.

"You bastard!" Ke Rong cursed, pushed away the old servant who handed him the silver, and quickly came to the big man who was talking and punched him hard in the mouth. A few teeth and streams of blood mixed with the big man's teeth and coughed out of his mouth. Before everyone present could react, Ke Rong's fist had already hit the nose of another big man, only breaking the bridge of his nose, and the sour and salty gushed out like a fountain.

"Ahh Chen Ling'er on the side was shocked by this sudden change, and hid behind Tian Xi in fear, looked at Ke Rong in horror, and shouted: "This beggar is crazy." ”

Ke Rong ignored the wails of the two big men like killing pigs, and when he raised his fist to fight again, Tian Xi, who was standing on the side, reacted quickly, and came to Ke Rong in a flash, stretched out his right hand and grabbed Ke Rong's fist, and broke Ke Rong's hand outward. The right foot kicked Ke Rong hard in the lower abdomen. Ke Rong snorted, and after taking a few steps back, he fell to the ground.

Just as Ke Rong got up again, Tian Xi kicked Ke Rong down again, and shouted to the people behind him: "Beat me, kill this madman." ”

Hearing this, more than a dozen big men behind Tian Xi rushed up and kicked Ke Rong to the ground fiercely. Although Ke Rong's body was strong, he was suddenly hit by Tian Xi's kick, and the injury was obviously not light. Immediately after that, he was besieged by so many big men, and he had no strength to fight back, so he could only hold his head in his hands and curl up on the ground to let them punch and kick.

Chen Kui couldn't bear to see how his life-saving benefactor was beaten to death, so he came to Tian Xi, knelt on the ground and begged: "Young master, please stop fighting, if you fight again, you won't die!" ”

"Childe, just spare him this time in front of me!" Chen Tao was also quite dissatisfied with Tian Xi's treatment of his life-saving benefactor, but he didn't dare to attack, so he could only beg bitterly: "He not only saved me, but also saved Ling'er's life, you raised your noble hand and spared his life, even if you repay him for saving our lives." ”

Tian Xi listened to Chen Tao's plea, waved his hand to stop everyone, turned his face to Chen Ling'er and asked, "Ling'er, are you okay?" ”

Chen Ling'er looked at Tian Xi's handsome face, and a sense of security suddenly rose in her heart, so she threw herself into Tian Xi's arms and cried.

"Ling'er, you're also tired on the road, let's go back to my house and rest first!" After Tian Xi comforted Chen Ling'er a few words, he took Ling'er into his carriage and walked away. He didn't even look at Ke Rong before leaving, Ke Rong, who was beaten half to death by himself, it was already a great gift that he didn't ask for Ke Rong's life, as for Ke Rong's injury, he wouldn't pay attention to it at all.

"Phew, I don't know what is dead or alive," the group of big men under Tian Xi spat at Ke Rong a few times, and kicked a few more times before relieving their hatred, helping the two big men who were beaten by Ke Rong with bloody faces, and went away with the carriage.

Chen Tao glanced at Ke Rong, who was curled up on the ground, scarred, and felt very unbearable, but he didn't dare to go to help, he could only shake his head and sigh and get into his carriage, and followed Tian Xi's carriage.

Chen Kui couldn't bear to throw away his savior, he stood up, he was conflicted in his heart for a long time, he weighed the pros and cons and finally made up his mind, stomped on the ground and threw Ke Rong away.

Ke Rong slowly sat up, coughed continuously, spit out a few mouthfuls of blood, stared at the two carriages that gradually disappeared into the crowd and the backs of Chen Kui and the others, an inexplicable bitterness rose in his heart, he remembered his mother's kind smile again, and then a few tears flowed from his bloodshot eyes.

After Tian Xi's carriage disappeared, the surrounding crowd all gathered around, pointing and talking non-stop, and some sympathetic words could be heard in the noise, but no one rushed to help Ke Rong. They knew that if they touched a bloodied, messy, dying beggar, they might bring some bad luck to themselves.

Ke Rong struggled to get up, and suddenly felt that he was in a trance and almost fell to the ground again, but he stood up with the pain and looked around again. As Ke Rong's gaze shifted, the crowd around him took a step back as if fleeing the plague.

Ke Rong took a few steps forward with difficulty after calming down, but he didn't take a few steps before his eyes were dark and his feet fell softly, and at the moment Ke Rong fell, a pair of powerful big hands supported his body, and then a gentle greeting came: "Little brother, how seriously are you injured?" ”

After Ke Rong's body was supported, his consciousness regained and he looked at the benefactor who had helped him. I saw that the man was wearing a light gray brocade robe, his face was a little dark, his appearance was marked, the edges and corners of his face were clear, and the outline was clear, and then looking at his firm and gentle gaze, it gave Ke Rong a long-lost sense of warmth and intimacy.

When the man held Ke Rong, some of the people around him were surprised, but the locals of Jiankang Mansion were not the slightest surprised by this person's actions, but greeted him with a respectful face: "Mr. Song." ”

Mr. Song nodded to the few people who greeted him, and after greeting him, he carefully checked Ke Rong's injury, and when he didn't find any fatal injuries, he breathed a sigh of relief, helped Ke Rong to sit down on the steps on the side and gave Ke Rong some water, and after Ke Rong's spirit improved, he took out ten taels of silver from his pocket and handed it to Ke Rong and said: "Little brother, you take this silver to find a doctor to see a doctor, I have some things to do now, so I can't accompany you." ”

The people around also followed Ke Rong and Mr. Song to the side of the stone platform to continue to watch their bustle, and when they saw Mr. Song take out ten taels of silver and hand it to Ke Rong, these people's eyes were straight. They lamented Mr. Song's generosity, and at the same time were jealous of the beggar's good fortune. Ten taels of silver is not a small amount, although there are a few people among them who are gorgeously dressed, but it is also very difficult to let them take out ten taels of silver at once, but this beggar was beaten up and got ten taels of silver, which is indeed something that makes them blush.

"Give the silver, it's another fucking ten taels of silver," Ke Rong stared at the ten taels of silver in Mr. Song's hand, and the muscles on his face twitched, and he also had an inexplicable sense of disgust for this kind Mr. Song. With a wave of his hand, Ke Rong threw all the silver handed over by Mr. Song to the ground, and shouted at Mr. Song: "Get out, I don't want your stinky money." ”

"Ahh There was an uproar among the people around him, and a few people began to fight for Mr. Song, pointing at Ke Rong and scolding: "You damn beggar, you really bite Lu Dongbin and don't know how good people are," "Look at your poor and sour appearance, you can't earn this money in your life, what kind of garlic do you pretend." ”

There are also some people who are watching the changes in front of them with great interest, but they are thinking in their hearts, "This guy is going to be beaten again, and there is a good show to watch."

"That's enough," Mr. Song got up and shouted, and the crowd around him suddenly stopped the noise and quietly waited for the excitement that was about to happen. Others said to themselves with a smug face: "I guessed right, it's going to start." ”

"You have ambition and don't care how much money you have," Mr. Song looked at Ke Rong again, he saw an unusual spirit on Ke Rong's bloodstained body, so he picked up Ke Rong again and laughed: "Haha, I'd rather bend than bend is a strong man," Mr. Song said as he picked up Ke Rong and squeezed through the crowd and walked towards the city.

The people who stayed and waited to see the excitement just stood in place in a daze, looking at the backs of Ke Rong and Mr. Song, who were gradually disappearing. Two of the quicker responders quietly lowered their bodies and began to pick up the ten taels of silver that had been spilled on the ground. When the last tael of silver was picked up, the two men quarreled with each other.

Hearing the scolding of the two people, these people in a daze reacted, and they all lay on the two people to grab the silver, in order to snatch the silver, these people began to fight each other, which attracted a group of people who watched the excitement.
