Volume 2 Half a Life of Exile, in Exchange for Your Mercy Chapter 1 First Entry into the Imperial Capital
It is not magnificent, but it is better to be quiet and elegant, the small building at the end of this remote alley is a favorite resting place for many students from the surrounding colleges, the fourth floor is in the shape of a tower, and the middle platform is a beautiful woman with a jade hand stroking the qin, not charming, no heavy makeup, the sound of the pleasant piano echoes, and the atmosphere is quiet and quiet.
Su Xiaoxiu liked this before, and she should like it later, but now when she sees the person at the table opposite, she doesn't like it.
It looks like he is wearing a luxurious board, but the sitting posture is really flattering.
The feminine young man who looks more delicate and good-looking than a girl is okay, An An sat separately, with a chopstick and a sip of wine, calmly and elegantly, so that Su Xiaoxiu's boudoir friend's eyes lit up, and he had to go up to talk.
But is the burly young man across from him here here to do something?
With half of his chest open, his shoes kicked to the side, his big feet stepped on the ancient wooden stool, pulled the neatly arranged snacks in front of him, and grabbed half of the greasy roast chicken with his big hands and bit it.
Come on.
The sour smell that is vague is that it has always been elegant here, and Xiao Er secretly moved some spices, I'm afraid it really can't be suppressed.
Su Xiaoxiu was slandered in her heart, and she had already grabbed her friends who wanted to go up and stare at her several times.
In this hidden dragon and crouching tiger in the imperial capital of Zhou Xia, it is always right to keep a low profile.
"This guy. ”
The woman who was not bad in appearance slapped the chopsticks in her hand, endured it again and again, but finally couldn't help it, and said: "What kind of person, this big court, without any regard for body etiquette, is so rude, can we still eat this meal?"
"Yang Qi, forget it. ”
Su Xiaoxiu secretly pointed to the burly man's bare half of his chest, and there was a hideous tattoo on half of it, which looked like a leopard, and said: "At first glance, it's not a master to mess with, we just came to the imperial capital, there is no need to provoke right and wrong." ”
Yang Qi hated.
The burly young man who had eaten the roast chicken in his hand and plucked his fingers and shouted at the top of his voice: "Little Er!
In this quiet small building, this roar can make the beautiful woman on the stage play the piano a little, not to mention that many people on the floor are surprised.
The burly young man, who did not pay any attention to manners, turned a deaf ear.
"Come, come, lord. ”
Xiao Er squeezed out a smile on his face, hurriedly ran up, and said, "A total of 1,500 gold coins have been consumed, is it a credit card or cash?"
The burly young man took out a black crystal card from his arms and threw it to Xiao Er.
Xiao Er looked at the four characters of Zhou Xia Circulation engraved under the crystal card, and was a little stiff.
Oh, my God.
Where did this turtle come from?
This kind of card is at least before Jiazi, when the Tianzhi Commercial Bank was not created, the Zhou Xia royal family issued a unified memory card, and later Shang Sheng founded the commercial bank, and the royal family should also be popular, recognized the commercial bank card as a circulation card, so far, this kind of crystal card is almost extinct.
Xiao Er hesitated again and again, and after confirming that this master was not here to smash the field, Xiao Er went downstairs with a bitter face, rummaged through the boxes and cabinets downstairs, and finally found a dusty black stone from a pile of old bills and sundries, and scratched it with a crystal card.
The stone lit up slightly, revealing the figure fifteen hundred.
Xiao Er felt a little tearful, this antique can still be used, it's great.
Xiao Er hurriedly went upstairs and returned the card to the burly young man.
Su Xiaoxiu and Yang Qi, who were not far away, looked at each other.
"Which ravine did this run out of?"
Yang Qi rubbed her eyebrows, that kind of crystal card, she remembered that the last time she saw it was accidentally turned out of her grandfather's box when she was a child.
Su Xiaoxiu hurriedly tugged at the corner of Yang Qi's clothes and said in a low voice, "You be quiet." ”
The feminine young man glanced at this side intentionally or unintentionally, and Yang Qi, who just wanted to speak, swallowed the words in his mouth and turned his head sideways.
As soon as the burly young man wanted to get up, a person slowly walked in downstairs, walked straight to the second floor, sat down at the table of the two weirdos, and the burly young man sat back in his position and grinned: "Brother Ji, I thought you weren't coming." ”
The feminine young man picked up the new dishes and chopsticks on the side and poured wine for the visitor.
"What does it look like to sit or not?"
The young man took off the hat on his head and revealed his appearance, it was Qin Ji.
The burly young man scratched his head and smiled innocently, and put down his feet on the stool.
This is what the person on the other side dares to say, try someone else?
Hit your head to pieces.
The name of the Northwest Qiao Ye Leopard, is that a joke with you?
This leopard has always been the most difficult to speak, and he will do it if he doesn't say a word, how many children of dignitaries and dignitaries in the five states of the east, west and north have suffered at his hands over the years?
But behind this guy is standing the Qiao family.
The three continents in the northwest are well-deserved overlords.
Su Xiaoxiu looked at the new young man curiously, whether it was the handsome young man who was full of yin qi and looked unusually feminine, or the burly guy who was fierce and full of ruffianism, after the arrival of that person, they were all completely restrained and very well-behaved.
In such a comparison, it looks like a young man who can barely reach the middle class, and he has a lot of taste.
"Alright, alright. ”
Yang Qi closed the curtain and said in a low voice: "What is there to see, I am appetizing, out of sight and out of mind." ”
The young man glanced at the curtain that had been closed not far away, and took a sip of the wine in the glass, yes, the taste is sweet and mellow, and it does not burn the throat, people on the three continents in the south like to drink this kind of soft wine, and the aftertaste is long: "Sneaked out?"
The handsome young man touched his nose and coughed lightly.
To say that it sounds good is called uninhibited, and to say that it is unruly, the sloppy burly young man picked up the wicker bamboo stick on the table, picked out the minced meat stuck between his teeth, spit on the ground next to him without grace, and scolded and said: "Brother Ji, you really don't know, those old guys in my family force me to study and practice martial arts and practice every day." ”
After a pause, the burly young man nicknamed Xiao Ye Leopard finished the wine in the wine glass, and then poured bitter water: "That's it, I didn't even give my mother a big cigarette, and the little maid was also transferred back, and finally slipped out, just wanted to talk to Xiaohong Xiaolu about our great ideals, but my hands were not hot on the breasts of the two little goblins, and the leather whip made of a barefoot snake by the old man in my family was so long and so thick, so he rushed all the way to the door of the big red building, and I was so scared that I climbed down from the second floor." ”
The feminine young man spread his hands helplessly on the side and said: "Brother Ji, I'm the second brother of this stupid leopard, I can't see him suffer, so let's discuss this and live a chic life in this imperial capital." ”
The young man glanced at him, but said nothing.
The feminine young man sneered, and then hurriedly said, "Brother Ji, what are you going to do next?"
The leopard pricked up its ears as well.
The young man hesitated slightly, but he still didn't hide it, after all, with the means of the two of them, he could hide it for a while, and immediately said: "I just went through the admission procedures for the Flowing Fire Academy. ”
"Flowing fire?"
Qiao Bao frowned, a little abnormal.
"Flowing Fire ......"
Lu Shu shook his head slightly, and said, "It's definitely not a first-class academy, but I also know most of the second-rate colleges in the imperial capital, and this stream of fire ......"
As the imperial city of Zhou Xia, there are many natural colleges in the imperial capital, there are Zhou Xia Academy established since the founding of the country, every year for the empire to send all kinds of talents, there is also known as the cradle of the Hanhai Academy, now many high-ranking officials who dominate the power of the empire are from Hanhai, in addition to the civil and military, there are few students, mysterious Dao Academy, it is a paradise that young people in the empire yearn for.
These are all first-class colleges in the imperial capital, many high-ranking officials and nobles want to send their children into the place, as for the second-rate colleges, there are many types, all kinds of top-notch Phoenix Women's College, unique research talismans, Feng Shui Fengyi Academy, and that kind of martial arts schools, academies.
"No need to guess. ”
Qin Ji said lightly: "A third-rate academy." ”
The burly young man hurriedly said: "Brother Ji, what are you doing in that kind of garbage place, last summer, I and Yehu just received a notice from Zhou Xia Academy, you go with us, I just stuffed the old man in charge of the academy with a carved celadon ancient vase from Shanshui Zhou Yanjun two hundred years ago, he was very happy, as long as I opened my mouth, this matter will be approved." ”
The youth was silent.
"Brother Ji!"
The burly young man was in a hurry.
"Wild leopard, you stop first, Brother Ji has his reasons for doing things, let's listen to what he has to say. ”
Lu Shu looked at Qin Ji solemnly, Qiao Bao was unusually silent, and the silence made people feel a little uneasy.
Qin Ji didn't raise his head, took a sip of sake, his voice was very mellow, but there was only a simple sentence, "Wild leopard, wild fox, you know my temperament, there is no need to ask more about this matter." ”
"Brother Ji!"
Qiao Bao's eyes suddenly turned red and he shouted unwillingly.
Qin Ji squinted slightly, and the little wild fox who saw his iconic move hurriedly shouted: "Wild leopard, sit down!
Qiao Bao's face was full of reluctance, staring at Qin Ji stubbornly, even though the latter had already squinted his eyes and looked at him, Qiao Bao still gritted his teeth and roared: "Brother Ji, I don't care about that mess, you have to follow me to Zhouxia Academy!"
Xiao Yehu was stunned, he looked at Qiao Leopard in a daze, this wild leopard who was not convinced, even the ancestors of the family dared to pull his throat and clap the board, except for the monster that Brother Ji could control, the corners of his eyes were a little moist at this moment.
He knows better than anyone that this wild leopard who is more grandfather than the grandfather has only shed tears for two times in his life, and when his mother left, his grandfather put on his armor again and single-handedly entered the Eternal Cave to save him.
The man has tears and does not flick, this wild leopard, once laughed that he has shed all the tears in this life, and in the future, there will never be this liquid again.
The little wild fox also fell silent.
He craned his neck, exhaled a long breath, and smiled inexplicably: "Flowing fire...... Heh, I remember, that little academy on the edge of Tianlong Academy. ”
Qin Ji lowered his eyes slightly, and went to get the wine jug on the table with his palm, but before he could get the wine jug, Qiao Bao grabbed the wine jug roughly, smashed it on the ground, and fell to pieces, and the wine flowed all over the ground.
"Brother Ji! If you dare to go to the Flowing Fire, I will dare to go to Tianlong Academy and slaughter that woman! I don't believe that my Haohao Qiao family has dominated the three northwestern states for more than 400 years, and I can't even kill a woman!"
Qiao Bao finally broke out, his eyes were red, and he shouted angrily.
Qin Ji leaned down and picked up the ceramic shards on the ground.
The movement here attracted the attention of many people in the inn, and even the large curtain on the van was opened a little, and the two pairs of surprised eyes looked out.
Although this small inn is not a big place in the imperial capital, it is better than elegance and purity, so there are also many children of the imperial capital with a solid family background and a strong background lingering here, and there is no shortage of generals' children, so after such a fuss, someone immediately jumped out and shouted indignantly: "Hey! The few upstairs are going to quarrel out! Don't disturb everyone here." ”
The upstairs table ignored it, the atmosphere was frozen as ice.
Qin Ji got up, a little indifferent: "I'll go first." ”
Without any delay, he left neatly, Xiao Yehu and Luo Yebao watched him walk down the stairs, walk through the lobby, stop at the threshold, pause, take the last step, and disappear.
"Ahh
Luo Yebao let out an angry and unwilling roar in his throat, and there were green tendons on his throat and forehead, and his terrifying and hideous appearance made many people look frightened.
The feminine little wild fox overturned the table in front of him, his face was gloomy and terrifying, and his teeth were almost shattered.
"What do they look like...... It's horrible!"
I couldn't help swallowing my saliva at the two delicate women in the bread box, my heart trembled, and I hurriedly closed the curtain.
Not long after, there was a sudden sound of violent screams, noises and collisions of objects below, and a bloody thing flew in from the outside, smashing on the dining table of the second daughter, and the second girl screamed and ran away, it was a young man with a sword in blue clothes and white shirts and silk, at this moment he was covered in blood, and the bones of his whole body were twisted in an abnormal state, dying, his eyes were still full of fear, as if he wanted to say something, but only blood foamed from his throat.
Su Xiaoxiu leaned against the wall and glanced at the lobby outside with frightened eyes, she had a little impression of the young man with the sword, it was he who stood up and scolded the three people just now.
The downstairs was in a mess, and the last thing Su Xiaoxiu saw was the scene where two indifferent backs walked out of the door side by side, one as cold as a demon fox in the mountains, and one as fierce as a wild leopard in the forest.
Su Xiaoxiu's heart trembled, how could these two be the same as monsters.
In this high-ranking officials and nobles everywhere, there are many children in the imperial capital, what happened in the small inn did not make much noise, but the pair of turtle trios who looked and came out of the ravine were impressive, and the murderous hands of the two in the end were even more jaw-dropping, the young man with a sword who was a high-ranking official of the empire was carried home by a friend for help, but in the end he sank into the sea, and even he disappeared in the imperial capital unconsciously.
Later, I learned that after that day, he was sent by his father to the imperial border thousands of miles away overnight, and they raised their doors up and down, and they didn't dare to let go of a fart about this matter, and they trembled for a long time.
This incident, which had not been spread in the first place, disappeared completely at the signal of some people.
The two delicate women, who were frightened, hurriedly drove all the way back to the academy, and halfway through, Su Xiaoxiu suddenly asked the groom to stop the carriage, she put her arm on Yang Qi next to her, and Yang Qi, who was still slightly pale, looked at Su Xiaoxiu suspiciously.
Su Xiaoxiu leaned back a little, revealing the window, and Yang Qi saw the vague figure sitting against the wall in the dark place in the alley in the past, and there were many wine jars scattered at his feet, and the pungent smell of wine was still clearly audible even if it was so far away.
Yang Qi, who had no interest in alcoholics, just wanted to retract his head, and a bright ray of moonlight quietly shone on the red drunken face, and Yang Qi only felt his little heart beat hard.
This is a very ordinary face, which can be forgotten at a glance, but Yang Qi, who has gone through the absurd scene not long ago, can't forget it.
"It's him!"
Yang Qi's voice changed slightly.
The one who came after the inn.
Yang Qi was frightened and couldn't avoid it, having seen the murderous methods of the other two, Yang Qi was now trembling when he saw this person who was related to them.
Su Xiaoxiu, who had been urged by Yang Qi to leave quickly, hesitated.
"Look at his drunken unconscious appearance......"
Su Xiaoxiu hesitated.
Yang Qi's eyes widened, he looked at Su Xiaoxiu with a monster-looking gaze, and said sharply: "My aunt, you won't be overflowing with sympathy at this time, right?
Things gather by like, people by groups, those two monster-like guys are so ferocious, how can you expect this person to be better?
Su Xiaoxiu couldn't resist Yang Qi in the end, and let the groom set off again, but before leaving, she took a valuable white blanket from the carriage and carefully covered the drunk young man.
Su Xiaoxiu seemed to hear this drunken young man muttering something, as if he was calling a name.
Fox?
Su Xiaoxiu thought to herself, is it the feminine man Xiao Yehu?
Yang Qi, who couldn't wait, dragged Su Xiaoxiu away quickly.
In the middle of the night, the drunken young man staggered to his feet, grabbed the white blanket in his hand, stopped against the wall for a while, and then staggered away from the cold alley, leaving behind a dozen jars of wine and the pungent smell of wine.
Next.
Qin Ji, who temporarily numbed himself with alcohol, woke up, he sat on the bed, held his head and eased up, and unexpectedly found that he did not have the dizziness and nausea that he had when he first woke up from alcohol.
Soon, he saw the empty bowl on the table not far away, Qin Ji got up, wiped his fingers on the empty bowl, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it, the familiar smell of medicine.
This is the ancestral sobering prescription of the old Qin family, the ancestors of the family especially liked to drink when they were young, and the grandmother specially found a recipe, all kinds of research, and finally came up with a magical sobering prescription, no matter how drunk it is, a bowl of decanting soup goes down, intact as before.
This is a prescription that only the old Qin family has.
Qin Ji looked out of the door with complicated eyes.
He pushed open the door, his warm eyes made him squint subconsciously, not far away in the courtyard, there was a young girl squatting on the ground to fan the fire, a white dress could not hide the graceful body curve and proud capital, and a pot of medicinal porridge was stewed on the small stove, which was full of fragrance.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, the girl subconsciously turned her head, and there was a faint smile on her delicate and moving little face, like a hibiscus out of the water, pure and incomprehensible.
"Brother. ”
The girl shouted sweetly.
Qin Ji pursed his lips and wanted to say something, but in the end, his words turned into a light sigh.
"You shouldn't have come. ”
Qin Ji walked to the stone table in the courtyard and sat on the stone bench.
"There's nothing that shouldn't be, Lin'er naturally came when she missed her brother. ”
The girl picked up the pot of medicinal porridge with a wet towel, smiled skillfully, gently put it in front of Qin Ji, and handed over a purple jade spoon, until this time, she could find that whether it was a white jade porcelain bowl for porridge or this purple jade spoon, it was a luxury worth a year's expenses of ordinary people.
But think about it, in this imperial capital where every inch of land is valuable, you can still have such a quiet and elegant mansion, which is not something that ordinary dignitaries can do.
Qin Ji was silent, just took a bite to solve this bowl of medicinal porridge with a spoon, and the sobering soup was paired with this bowl of medicinal porridge, and all the negative effects of alcoholism were completely eliminated.
Qin Ji put down the porcelain bowl that he had drunk and stared at the delicate little face next to him.
This is undoubtedly a very beautiful girl, smiling without showing teeth, the big black jewel-like eyes are full of aura, the facial features are delicate like a fairy in a painting, she is not very old, but she has been extremely smart and moving, the double peaks on her chest are extremely proud compared to her peers, and the stunning arc shrank fiercely in the waist, and then down is the plump buttocks.
This is a girl with a devil's body, but she is a pure mess, like a delicate white lotus in full bloom.
There is a relationship in the world called childhood sweethearts.
Ten years ago, Qin Ji, who was only eight years old, already armed with a big sword longer than others, followed the powerful man in the northeast of the empire to clear a rampant bandit den, and saved the girl who was still a child from the dirty hands of those outlaws.
Those bandits who are inferior to beasts don't even let go of a five-year-old child, and when Qin Ji arrived, the porcelain doll-like girl had already been pressed into the corner, and her luxurious clothes were torn by her rough hands, and her heart-rending screams and cries broke people's hearts.
Eight-year-old Qin Ji cut off the head of the bandit who wanted to do wrong, and the sprayed blood splashed the girl's body, and the girl's eyes were dull, shrinking in the corner, trembling.
Qin Ji took off the clothes on his body and gently covered the girl,
There was a hint of strangeness in the girl's fearful gaze, Qin Ji threw away the knife and said softly Don't be afraid, wiped the blood from the girl's face with his sleeve, bent down and picked up the girl, not broad shoulders, and since then, it has become the only support in the girl's heart.
After that day, the girl whose parents were both buried in the hands of the bandits became a member of the Qin family, and she was inseparable from the little young master Qin Ji.
This slim white lotus, which has now come and gone, is destined to bloom only for Qin Ji alone in this life.
Qin Lin skillfully watched the dishes and chopsticks, and then jumped in front of Qin Ji with a smile, and Qin Ji rubbed the girl's head dotingly.
"Brother, my uncle helped me go through the enrollment procedures for Phoenix Women's College, and I will go to school there in two days. ”
Qin Lin said with a smile.
Qin Ji nodded and said with a smile: "When I came to the imperial capital, I can't take care of you everywhere, you have to take care of yourself, and come to my brother if you have anything." ”
Qin Lin wrinkled her delicate nose and snorted, "I don't know who is taking care of whom since I was a child. ”
Qin Ji shook his head helplessly.
"I'll go out and stay at home, the water in the imperial capital is very deep, don't run around. ”
Qin Ji turned around and went out, and warned before leaving.
Qin Lin's soft eyes kept watching Qin Ji leave, and after his back disappeared, the smile on his delicate little face slowly converged, biting his lip and feeling sad.
She couldn't help but think of that rainy evening a year ago.
The young man resolutely got up, faced the majestic rain curtain that fell from the sky, and walked out of the gate of the Qin family step by step.
Qin Lin's delicate body, who was hiding in the corner of the corridor, leaned against the pillar, her body slid weakly to the ground, choking silently, and tears rained down.
Since then, the young master of the Qin family, who has a brilliant identity and a prominent background, has lost everything, is alone, and set foot on his way, he threw away everything, and everyone betrayed his relatives, but it was just for a woman.
Ning red civet.
It's not a wild fox, it's a fox, it's a red cowardly fox, and only in the arms of the little master of the Qin family will the charming and enchanting red fox that turns all beings upside down.
"Brother, really...... Is it worth it?"
Qin Lin stood in place, looking at the direction of Qin Ji's departure stupidly, muttering to herself.
Who can cut off the most bitter sorrow in the world?
