I turned around and went to find Dongfang Qi.

When we didn't take the exam, we slept in the same room, and I even remember him dreaming about the moon at night. Later, everyone walked around Luoyang and Chang'an together, and they were old acquaintances.

You see, friends in times of poverty and friends in times of wealth are two completely different things. I have quite a few friends at the palace, but it's hard to say that they are friends because we use each other. But Dongfang Qi is different, we were through difficulties together at the beginning.

At this time, Dongfang Qi was standing in the courtyard and smoking. His face was smooth, but his hair was messy, and his eyes were bandaged—he was like that, and when he drank, his eyes were like rabbits.

Me: "It's illegal to smoke. ”

Dongfang Qi: "Go and call the emperor to come and tell me." ”

Me: "Smoking is not good for your health. ”

Him: "I don't care. ”

I shrugged.

He touched his head and said, "The old guy smashed his head with a wine glass." That bastard! ”

After speaking, he turned around and looked at Dongfang Tian in the room, Dongfang Tian was falling asleep on the table.

Me: "What's wrong with you?" ”

Dongfang Qi: "It's nothing, it's boring to play." Damn, let's drink, why did Dongfang Liang kick me out! ”

I said, "Stop making trouble." ”

Dongfang Qi: "I'm from Wuju, I'm the commander of the First Army of the Xiliang Army, I'm afraid of him?" ”

He strode in.

He toasted me, I toasted him, and I'm going to drink me to death these days. I used to be so arrogant, so hated toasting, and now I have to become the alcoholic I hate.

However, in the process of pushing the cup and changing the lamp, I knew the story of Dongfang Qi.

Everyone has a story, but some have a story more than others.

As usual, Dongfang Qi didn't know what his name was.

This is very natural, if you know your name, you have a father and mother, you will honestly stay in the county, stay in a village for the rest of your life, wife and children hot kang head, and then give birth to a wife and child hot kang head son - naturally you will not come to Luoyang or Chang'an to tell me what your name is; If you don't have a family of parents, you naturally don't remember your name, you will naturally wander around, and then meet me in Luoyang or Chang'an and tell me you don't remember your name.

Okay, let's stop talking nonsense, let's move on to Dongfang Qi.

Dongfang Qi lived on the railroad in Hebei when he remembered—he was born in the railroad gang—in fact, he lived on the railroad for the first half of his life. Interesting! I first saw railroads when I was 20 years old, and he was always on railroads.

At that time, others called him Zhao Qizi. He got on the bus in Handan, so his surname is "Zhao", because the Zhao clan of Zhao County in Handan is the first scholar family in the world. He was called the flag because he was originally responsible for waving signal flags for his accomplices.

There is only one railway in Hebei, which leads from Yanjing, Baoding, and Handan to Luoyang in the Central Plains. The railway is the property of the royal family, and the 500 meters along the line are also royal land, and no one is allowed to enter. Because of this regulation, in fact, even the local government did not dare to enter, so the railway is a special river.

The railroad is run by the Forbidden Army - you know the Forbidden Army? At the beginning of the period when the forbidden army was completely victorious, there were a total of one million, and the aircraft and artillery were readily available, so they could do whatever they wanted.

The people who live on the railroad are called the railroad gang, and they are all helpless people - because they are caught, they will punish the ten tribes. They must not be detected by the Forbidden Army, so they must be very smart - note that they are "smart" and not "strong in martial arts", because no one can survive the Forbidden Army's submachine guns, and it is useless to be high or low in martial arts.

In addition, they are still people who cannot live on "normal gangs", because if they can not make a living on the railway, who will still live on the railway?

To sum up, the characteristics of the railroad gang are: smart and weak.

This is also the characteristic of the young Dongfang Qi.

The origins of the Railroad Gangs are extremely complex. Some people were hunted down by the government or bandits along the railway line and had to climb into the railway. Every few hours, a train would run from Yanjing to Luoyang, or from Luoyang to Yanjing, and the forbidden army in front of the locomotive would shoot at all the living people in front of them, and most of them would be killed—the ones who didn't die were the railroad gangs. Experienced railroad gangs will calculate the time in advance and temporarily escape through the gap in the railroad - this is the most dangerous time, because the county soldiers will suddenly attack and capture people to collect rewards.

As a result, the Railroad Gangs actually spend most of their time on trains. The safest places are the safest. The train was full of people, and the gangs were either mixed in, or pretended to be slaves, or simply hid in the seats, water tanks, underneath the car, and on the roof...... In short, everything that can be hidden. And some of the bold gangsters even wandered around the world's stations, and they were the legends of the railway gang.

They make a living by stealing. In fact, the people who can take the train are all Dashi clans, and their things are valuable, which is simply "not open for three years, open for three years." ”

They have stolen: clan certificates, appointment certificates, curiosities, gold jewels, royal tribute, strange animals and plants, and so on.

For example, they can often steal cigarettes. The imperial court was forbidden to smoke, but there were still many scholars who secretly smoked, and cigarettes were extremely valuable. They stole cigarettes but couldn't dispose of them, so they had to smoke them themselves. Dongfang Qi's smoking problem fell at that time.

At one point, they even stole a baby! They had absolutely no idea what was going on, they stole a big basket and found out that there was a fat boy inside the basket! What to do? You can't send it back, can you? Besides, the train has left Handan for Chang'an, how to find it? Someone wanted to kill him, someone wanted to throw him, and one of the hall masters of the railroad gang said, "This kid is also fate, and he is related to our railroad gang, so keep him." So the unfortunate and fortunate boy became a member of the railroad gang, and he grew up happily, unaware that his fortunes had been reversed. He may be the eldest son of a certain Dashi clan, and at this moment, he has become a rebel in the court!

I said to Dongfang Qi: "Haha! You're that boy? ”

Dongfang Qi: "I have dreamed countless times, dreaming that I am that boy, dreaming that my father and my mother came to me. But here's the thing: I stole that boy because I was the best. Seeing a few officers and soldiers guarding a basket, I thought it was some kind of tribute, so I stole it. ”

I was silent. I asked him, "How is that boy?" ”

Dongfang Qi: "Who knows! Do you really care about him? What's so special about him? I haven't seen him in fifteen years. The railways in the world have been blown up, and I don't know where the brothers in the gang have gone. ”

There was silence.

Dongfang Qi continued.

At the age of fifteen, Zhao Qizi had already become a veteran of the railway gang, because he was smart and clever, the oldest and the most stolen. That time, though, he planted it.

At Handan Station, fifteen-year-old Zhao Qizi was discovered while stealing twenty-year-old Dongfang Yongbai. Zhao Qizi and Dongfang Yongbai had a big battle, and Zhao Qizi beat Dongfang Yongbai down.

What does this mean? Dongfang Qi is a martial artist, he can jump five meters at once, although he is not as powerful as the super masters of the underground world, and he may not be as powerful as the top masters in the rivers and lakes, but he is also very powerful, and Dongfang Yongbai not only discovered Dongfang Qi's small movements, but also fought with him. This shows that Dongfang Yongbai is also a martial artist! Sky! After so many years, I didn't even know he was a martial artist!

I asked Dongfang Qi: "You had a fight with Dongfang Yongbai?" ”

Dongfang Qi: "Yes." ”

Me: "He's also a martial artist?" ”

Dongfang Qi: "Yes, it's quite powerful!" I'm amazing, I can't imagine that kind of boy brother is also quite powerful. At that time, he had a group of men with him, but he didn't allow anyone else to do it, so he had to fight me alone. I fought him for a long time, and finally beat him up very hard. I was about to leave, Dongfang Liang appeared, and he subdued me in a few moves. ”

Sky! Dongfang Liang, that guy is also a martial artist! I thought it was just a staff eunuch! How many undiscovered secrets there are in this world!

Dongfang Qi continued: "I thought, it's over, I'm going to die here. However, Dongfang Bai actually let me go. He said that if I agreed to fight him again at this time next year, he would let me go. I was sure to say yes, so he let me go. ”

After Dongfang Qi finished speaking, he fell into the memories of the past.

I've guessed what follows, and what he's going to do is exactly what I guessed. I can't help but think that if I were him, I would definitely have to do exactly the same thing as him.

That night, Zhao Qizi tossed and turned thinking about his future.

The train clanged from Yanjing to Chang'an, and then from Chang'an to Luoyang. There were so many people on the train, and he was the only one thinking about his thoughts.

He has killed people, killed innocent people, killed the government, and even killed the forbidden army, he hates the court eagle dog the most, he vows to kill all the officials and return justice to the people.

He easily deceived Dongfang Yongbai and picked up a life, it was said that he should go away and fly high, but at that time, he made a decision, he decided to go to the meeting again next year. For him, this is the only chance.

Many people may think that they should be glad to be able to escape, why should they go to trouble again. But special people have special ideas, and naturally there will be special fate. Whether this fate is good or bad, it is your own choice.

Regrets.

I am this idea, and it is also Zhao Qizi's idea.

Dongfang Qi said:

"The next year, I arrived at Handan Station a few days early.

I've been thinking about this all year, dreaming about it every day, I haven't told anyone about it, but preparing for it every day – it's coming first, it's all about it.

For the first few days, I hid quietly on the roof of my house, and when I was hungry, I would nibble on steamed buns and drink cold water.

That day, I stayed at the station since the morning, wearing a suit I stole and pretending I was picking people up. I look like a dog, and I go to the toilet from time to time to look in the mirror and dress up.

It was summer, and I was staring at every train from morning to night.

I was tired, thirsty, and hot, and I looked at the trains, one, two, three......

I counted the trains, one, two, three......

I waited slowly, hour by hour, minute by minute, second by second.

The sun went down and the last train came.

The train was empty, and there was no one. ”

-

-

I said anxiously, "Ah, I thought there would be someone on the last train." And then? What happened? ”

Dongfang Qi said: "Early the next morning, Dongfang Yongbai came. ”

I breathed a sigh of relief.

Dongfang Qi continued: "It turned out that he asked his subordinates to write this down in a notebook, and it was only in the morning that his subordinates reminded him. He was in Chang'an at the time, and he couldn't come to Handan, so he went to Luoyang first, and then came to Handan the next day. That day, we fought again, and I still beat him, but I didn't beat him very hard. And so it went on for another three years, and every time I was disappointed. I want him to take me away, but I don't want to say that, because, you know, when you ask him, you have no status. Finally, for the last time, he asked me, 'Are you going to try for the martial arts meeting?' Of course I agree! As you know, we met in Luoyang Dongfang's Mansion and went to Chang'an together. ”

Of course I know what happened next.

The railway helped Zhao Qizi, the master of Handan Hall, to change his name to civilian Zhao Chengqi, and then to Dongfang Qi, a scholar clan, to participate in the examination, become a martial artist, and finally became the commander of the first army of the Xiliang Army, with 150,000 Xiliang cavalry under his command.

I held up a bowl of wine: "It's not easy for brothers!" We have lived enough to be able to mix up to this point with this kind of background! ”

Dongfang Qi also raised the wine bowl and drank it all.

He finished his drink and looked into the room.

There Dongfang Tian was still asleep, and he was lying on the table at a high angle, and the snoring was shocking. Dongfang Yongbai and Zhu Mengzi have already returned, Dongfang Tian is at the boss level, who dares to care about him.

Dongfang Mingyue walked over and pricked Dongfang Tian's nostrils with a chopstick.

Dongfang Qi looked at them and said, "Dongfang Tian is a waste!" The old guy who sells the old. He even told people everywhere that he often hugged Dongfang Mingyue when he was a child. Look at him, how unruly, he can't even speak! Moreover, he couldn't read a word! This kind of old hat, how can it be compared with us. ”

I looked at Dongfang Qi, then at Dongfang Tian and Dongfang Mingyue in the distance, and said, "Look at the eldest lady, how beautiful, and so smart, kind, and innocent. ”

Dongfang Qi: "Yes." ”

I continued: "People love Miss, and I love Miss. I felt like she was my child. The first time I saw her, I thought she was beautiful, but, from the bottom of my heart, do we like her for herself, or for her status as a young lady? If she was just a maid, would people still like her? ”

Dongfang Qi said suspiciously: "What do you mean?" ”

I said: "We have no hope with her, Dongfang Mingyue is the eldest lady of the Xiliang Dongfang clan, the former queen of the Tang Dynasty, and now Li Hongsi's wife." ”

Dongfang Qi: "Yes, that's how it was...... But, what do you mean? ”

Me: "So, you and Dongfang Tian are arguing with each other!" You should go find another woman! Don't hit the big lady's idea! ”

Dongfang Qi looked at me in surprise.

Haha, I told you to break it! Look at your astonishment!

Dongfang Qi said anxiously: "Damn! You've been talking about for a long time! I'm confused! I wonder what you told me about Dongfang Mingyue! How could we rob the moon in the east! Fools know that it is impossible for us to have contact with the eldest lady of the Oriental family! I fought with Dongfang Tian to rob Dongfang and attack people! ”
