***************

Luoyang City, outside the West Gate, to the north of the Xiyuan Hunting Ground, there is a lake, this lake is called Kaiyuan Lake, Kaiyuan Lake is much larger than Xintan Lake...... Because of its proximity to the Xiyuan hunting grounds, few people come here.

In an open meadow by Kaiyuan Lake, a bonfire was burning, surrounded by a boy of about thirteen or fourteen years old, a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old, and a girl of ** years old.

These three people are She Yi, Zhao Wanqi, and Ruoruo.

When the three of them returned to Xintan Street in the north of the city, they saw that there were many customers inside, and they were ...... It was more troublesome, so I simply brought baking utensils and ingredients and drove the carriage to the west gate for a picnic.

On the bonfire stood a pheasant and a hare. The hares and pheasants are fat, and under the barbecue of the campfire, the oil and water fall into the campfire and hiss. She Yi, Zhao Wanqi, and Ruoruo sat on the ground.

"You mean, there was a death in Shefu, Taiyuan?"

She Yi's eyes were originally looking at the bonfire, Zhao Wanqi sat opposite him, and after listening to Zhao Wanqi's speech, he slowly raised his head and looked at Zhao Wanqi calmly.

Zhao Wanqi nodded, turned the wooden stick, picked up the cumin powder and sprinkled it on the rabbit meat, and the cumin powder that fell in the fire turned into many tiny sparks.

"Eh, you save some use, just order it, you don't have to eat it after you run out!"

She Yi saw Zhao Wanqi swaying and grinning, and said distressedly.

"Chirp crooked, mother-in-law, mother-in-law, how do you look like a girl, isn't it just a pack of cumin powder, you didn't harvest seeds last time, just catch up with more next year......"

Zhao Wanqi glanced at She Yi with disdain.

She Yi: ".................."

Ruoruo sneered and laughed, it was the first time she saw her little uncle She Yi deflated...... After laughing for a long time, he looked up at Zhao Wanqi seriously, and felt that this "tomboy" with a mysterious identity and a little ** was very interesting.

"And then?"

She Yi withdrew her gaze to look at the burning bonfire.

"Later...... Since the pearl was stoned to death, your county lieutenant father has been to Ontario a lot, rarely goes to Fireworks Willow Lane, and has not heard of any concubines for the time being. However, your little girl's sister is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and my son has already seen it, maybe she killed the pearl. Otherwise, your county lieutenant daddy wouldn't have locked her up in the backyard. ”

Zhao Wanqi said casually.

"Xiaoyu is locked up in the backyard? Zhao Wanqi, don't be open-mouthed, Xiaoyu is very timid, and her surname is also very kind, how could she do something that hurts people's lives. ”

She Yi paused and opened his mouth to defend himself.

"Oh, why haven't I ever seen her cowardly in front of me...... I remember at that time, I pointed a sword at you, and she was fierce as if she wanted to eat me, and she was cowardly...... Ruoruo, collect firewood, and my sister will take you fishing and boating in a while......"

Zhao Wanqi glanced at Ruoruo.

"Really?"

Ruoruo looked at Zhao Wanqi suspiciously, she didn't see a boat in the lake when she first came. This woman is so open-mouthed and boastful that it's hard to tell if she's telling the truth or not.

"Little girl, be honest, have you seen your sister tell a lie?"

Zhao Wanqi is smiling and approachable......

Ruoruo glanced at She Yi with an inquiring gaze.

"Well, go ahead, just pick up a few dry firewood over there and come back, don't go into the woods......"

If you heard She Yi say this, then he stood up and went over there to collect firewood......

Zhao Wanqi looked at Ruoruo angrily.

"Now these bear kids ...... There are so many eyes...... Is the lord of this county pure and kind, like a bad person? ”

"Be content, Ruoruo has a very good impression of you...... If it were someone else, she wouldn't go......"

She Yi also picked up cumin powder and sprinkled it on the pheasant. The campfire was a little weaker because there was no firewood. The pheasant and hare meat were already half-cooked, and there was a faint smell of meat wafting in the air.

"Hmm...... It's also true, in addition to being suspicious, this girl is not bad and can be cultivated. ”

Zhao Wanqi turned her head to look at Ruoruo not far away, and then turned her head.

"Boy, you said that you are so dignified to take a pair of orphans and widows to do something, even if you pity them, just give some silver taels, as for the big and far to bring them to Luoyang. I see that her eyes on you are quite ambiguous, is it possible, you are really interested in that little widow? The taste is too strong...... Although you are already developed, you can't be so impatient...... If you really want to find a girl, my sister will give you some silver taels, and you will come to the night to find a clear person to practice your hands......"

"Train you...... Ahem...... Brother is a civilized person and does not swear...... Zhao Wanqi, no matter how you say it, you are also a county lord, you changed your title a few years ago, you should be the sect master, no matter what, your quality and identity are too marginal, Ruoruo's mother is not worried, she is my godsister, don't talk about it...... To be honest, your virtue is like a small ** who is a little in the folk, and then he was recognized and returned to the county king's mansion. ”

She Yi raised her head and stared at Zhao Wanqi, looking at her in confusion.

"The master is in the folk...... Gee...... Don't be angry, the lord of this county knows that the two cities of Suimi were slaughtered, and you feel guilty, and you want to seek comfort from taking care of their mother and daughter. Alas...... However, everything should be done in moderation. There are some things that you think that way and others don't. Also, the lord of this county grew up in the palace when he was a child, you kid don't think that after reading a few more stories, you really think that the royal family is so easy to recognize...... If it were that simple, your mother wouldn't be floating on the rivers and lakes......"

Zhao Wanqi shook her head and sighed.

"There are some things that don't have to worry about you, you just need to pay attention to Xiaoyu's affairs. What kind of ancestor is my mother you said last time, what's going on...... Let's talk about it in detail......"

When She Yi heard Zhao Wanqi say this, she remembered the special identity of her mother, the red lady, and became curious for a while. So far, he really can't be sure if it's the red lady's biological son. If so, why aren't there more than a decade of memories? If not, why is his physical age only thirteen or fourteen years old......

Now, he only theoretically regards the red lady as his biological mother, and the specific actual situation will be confirmed in detail later. Therefore, the matter of the red lady can only arouse his curiosity for the time being, and it has not yet inspired his revenge**.

"This, what's going on, the county lord doesn't know. But...... One thing is certain, your mother saved the lives of the emperor and my father. Things are very complicated, and the specific situation is only known to the emperor and my father...... Ask them when you're in the mood. Perhaps, they will tell you the truth. ”

Zhao Wanqi was a little bored.

"Okay...... I know that your dog can't spit ivory out of his mouth, tell me when you started sending people to follow me...... Don't say you don't know......"

She Yi turned his head and glanced at the woods on the other side of the West Garden, there was a faint figure shaking in the forest, the trees were quiet, and there was no bird call, and there were clearly people hiding. If you guess correctly, these people should be the guards who secretly protect Zhao Wanqi......

More than a month ago, he drowned the black butler, and Wang Dashun almost died. It is said that it was the official of the government who sent Wang Dashun back, and more than a month has passed, and the government has not heard or asked, and it is obvious that someone has informed the government. At first, he guessed that the seed master Dao, thinking that the energy of the seed family is not small, and he still has this ability after returning to his hometown. Now it seems that it is certain that Zhao Wanqi did it.

"Tsk...... You kid is embarrassed to ask, the things that my sister gave you actually dare to go out, and you are getting bolder and bolder...... Didn't I confess to you at the beginning, I couldn't get away with the jade pendant and came to Luoyang Rongwangfu to look for me, but what about you, you actually dared to take my sister's things as a thing, don't you know that the Changsheng Library is dedicated to black valuables...... Also, if you get rid of the short-eyed Xue Ying, you don't know how many more stabs you can stab when you leave, or set fire to burn the Tiger Villa together! Even if the king of Hades comes, he will not have the skills to return to the sky. Now, the eight calves are alive again. Although you are not yet conscious, if you wake up one day, you kid will die...... Sister Yi has always praised you for being smart and thoughtful and cautious, and now it seems that you are ...... Hey, I have to train you for a few more years......"

"Then why don't you go?"

She Yi didn't explain, and said lightly.

"Heh, do you want to know why I didn't go?"

Zhao Wanqi's eyes turned around, and she suddenly turned sideways and looked at She Yi mysteriously.

"Want to ......"

She Yi was stunned for a moment.

"Actually, my sister doesn't know...... It feels like you deserve it...... Haha......"

Zhao Wanqi sat upright and laughed......

She Yi looked at Zhao Wanqi laughing, looked at it for a long time, the corners of her mouth curled, and she couldn't help but smile slightly......

"What a living treasure......"

……

At this time, Ruoruo came back with some dry firewood, threw the firewood on the ground, sat next to She Yi, and glanced at Zhao Wanqi with dissatisfaction.

She Yi took out the dagger and cut off a few pieces of roasted pheasant meat and handed them to Ruoruo, Ruoruo glanced at Zhao Wanqi proudly and ate it.

Zhao Wanqi smiled......

The three of them ate barbecue and told jokes, and they spoke in a tone like a modern man thousands of years later, and a few new words popped up from time to time, but no outsiders could hear them.

Near noon, Zhao Wanqi also found a small boat by the lake, with a series of fishing gear, such as fishing rods, fishing nets, and bait.

Although the lake is cold and windy, it does not affect the fun of fishing for the three of them. In the blink of an eye, in the afternoon, the three of them caught seven or eight big fish and a dozen small fish, and landed on the shore with a small boat, carrying a fish basket, and getting into the carriage.

The carriage carried the three people swaying into Luoyang City, and after coming to the Tex Hotel, there were not many guests left the hotel, and the hotel was almost closed.

She Yi asked everyone to wait on the first floor, he personally cooked today, and after a stick of incense, a pot of fragrant sauerkraut and fish gnocchi soup was served, and several people ate it happily.

When they were about to finish eating, Dong Bicheng and Yue Shan'er realized that this beautiful young man named Zhao Gongzi was a little familiar, as if he was a daughter's family, and he seemed to have seen it somewhere.

After thinking about it for a long time, it suddenly occurred to me that this Zhao Gongzi was not the county lord of Zhao Wanqi, the first jade-faced little dragon in Luoyang? The faces of the husband and wife changed suddenly.

Zhao Wanqi pretended to cough a few times, and gave Dong Bicheng and Yue Shan'er a look, but the two didn't say anything, and carefully finished the meal.

Outside, night had fallen, it was the beginning of the month, there was no moon, and the streets were dark. She Yi asked Dong Bicheng, Yue Shan'er, and Yue Mochou Ruoruo to take a carriage back to the mansion in Xintan Lake first, and he and Zhao Wanqi sat there and chatted for a while.

……

Quietly in the hotel, She Yi and Zhao Wanqi sat at a table near the door chatting, and the two guys in the store were cleaning upstairs. Now the second floor of the hotel has also been renovated and transformed into several private rooms.

Dong Bicheng, Yue Shan'er, and Yue Mochou will go back to live in the new house in Xintan Lake every night, and She Yi and Ruoruo will naturally not live here. Two shopkeepers, living in a small room next to the kitchen on the first floor.

The time of a stick of incense passed, and the night outside was getting darker and deeper, She Yi looked at the dark outside suspiciously, there was no movement outside, and she thought to herself, it was so late, and several of Zhao Wanqi's guards didn't look for her to go back?

Zhao Wanqi saw She Yi looking sideways outside, with a puzzled expression on her face, touched the tip of her nose with her hand, and put on a cool pose.

"Little one, are you thinking about why no one will take me back?"

"yes, yes. Where's your henchman? ”

She Yi turned her head in surprise, and looked at Zhao Wanqi with some confusion.

"Hehe, I have already explained to them, no one is allowed to follow me today, and no one is allowed to pick me up. Actually, I know everything you've been doing for a while, and I didn't plan to come out to meet you for a while. But a few days ago, I just heard bad news from people in Taiyuan, saying that there was a murder in the Zhenbei General's Mansion. One of your father's concubines was crushed to death by a stone, and the concubine came from Suide City and was originally a maid. I asked people to inquire again, and learned that the maid's name was Mingzhu, and her death was related to your sister She Yu, and I couldn't inquire about it, but I only knew that she was locked up in the backyard and was said to be not allowed to come out for three years. Not many people know about these news, even if you go to Accord to investigate, it is impossible to find out. After thinking about it for a while, I felt that I would come out to meet you and tell you about ......"

Zhao Wanqi said lightly, this remark has no exaggerated rhetorical techniques, and there is no element of boasting, it is simple and simple, it is real, and it sounds much more pleasant.

"It's not easy to listen to you say a few words......"

She Yi smiled.

"Roll ......"

Zhao Wanqi frowned.

"The essence is exposed again...... It's so late, so you're not going back? I don't want to be convicted of trafficking in underage children...... Come on, I'll send you back, there's a carriage outside. Let's go......"

She Yi stood up.

"Hmm...... It's also ......."

Zhao Wanqi also stood up.

At this time, the two shopkeepers happened to go downstairs, and She Yi explained a few words to the two of them and left the store.

It was pitch black outside, and She Yi took a lantern left at the door and walked to the carriage across the street. He had only taken a few steps when he suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?"

Zhao Wanqi, who was walking behind, lowered her head and almost hit She Yi.

She Yi's brow furrowed again, and he turned his head to look at the dark street in the distance.

"Zhao Wanqi, is there really no one protecting you in secret today?"

"I have already explained to Ah Wu, and no one is allowed to follow me today...... There will never be anyone. Besides, the martial arts of this county lord still need to be secretly protected? Suspicious ......"

Zhao Wanqi raised her head with a displeased expression.

She Yi's pupils shrank slightly...... His gaze coldly swept over the dark streets in the distance......

At this time, a luxurious carriage appeared at the end of the sight, with a large lantern hanging on the carriage, driving by Zhao Wanqi's escort Awu, and on the seat next to him, there was also a man with a goat's beard, this man was Zhao Wanqi's entourage in Accord in the morning.
