Chapter 7: Heir Token 1
"Brother, don't forget that this is a place where killers gather, and all tranquility is just a faΓ§ade." Qi Ming looked at the scenery from afar like him.
Qi Jin smiled: "What kind of force is chasing you and me this time?" β
Qi Ming: "When I fought with this group of dead soldiers, I found that they were good at different weapons, and their kung fu paths were changeable, unlike the kung fu of the decent Tianmu Sect or Shaolin Temple, and they had not used evil magic and witchcraft, so they should not be from the Immortal Sect." β
Qi Jin: "The Tianmu Sect is a righteous sect, and Brother Ming even suspects them?" β
Qi Ming: "As long as it is a force in the rivers and lakes, there are suspicions, but there are no clues pointing to them now." β
Qi Jin smiled and said: "Brother Ming is still reasonable, fortunately, Brother Ming has a good kung fu foundation, otherwise we wouldn't be able to wait for the rescue of the Mo family." β
"Brother has won the prize." Qi Ming replied with a smile, "The top priority now is to inform my father in time, and we must also go back quickly." β
"That's right, ask the head of the Mo family about the situation after dinner, and then ask them to arrange for someone to escort us back to Beijing on a certain date." Qi Jin shouted behind him, "Ren Jing! β
"The subordinates are here, what do the masters command?" The prince's personal escort Ren Jing walked out of the shadows, holding his sword and bowing his hand respectfully.
Qi Jin: "What happened to the other injured brothers?" β
Ren Jing: "Their injuries have been dealt with, and they are already boiling medicine according to the master's prescription." β
Qi Jin looked at Qi Ming: "Brother Ming, these guards are not lightly injured, I'm afraid it will take half a month before they can set off to go back." β
Qi Ming listened, looked into the distance, and still smiled lightly: "If in order to avoid those dead soldiers, the fewer people we set off, the better, and the guards can wait until they recover from their injuries before disguising themselves as ordinary caravans and returning to Beijing, if the dead soldiers recognize them, they will pounce into the air, if they don't recognize them, they can naturally arrive safely." β
Qi Jin frowned slightly and said, "Brother Ming wants to make them hurt just so that he wants to be a stand-in for us?" β
"Brother loves his subordinates, I understand. But since we have already met those dead soldiers, they will be familiar with our body shape, and if they return to Beijing with the same escort, it will definitely be another fight. Qi Ming looked back at Qi Jin.
"No! We can't act together, and we can't make them stand-ins. Qi Jin avoided Qi Ming's gaze, his subordinates unconsciously clenched their fists, lowered their eyes and said, "This matter should be considered in the long run, and a foolproof plan should be considered." β
"That's okay, it's safe here anyway, if you want people and materials, you can get it from the Mo family, it's not that the Mo family can't crack the strange array under the mountain, it's just that those dead soldiers follow all the way, I'm afraid that the longer the days go, the more the strange array becomes..."
"It's an ambush of the dead!" Qi Jin added, and the brothers glanced at each other.
At this time, Mo Youli, the steward of the Mo family, came to pass the word, and walked quickly to the door of Dongyuan, so he didn't dare to go inside, but shouted softly outside the door: "Two young masters, dinner has been prepared, and the head of the family invites the two young masters to go to eat." β
As soon as Qi Jin and Qi Ming heard this, they took Ren Jing out of the courtyard, and Qi Jin said to the steward: "Lead the way." β
A group of people came to the hall, Qi Jin and Qi Ming entered the upper seat, Mo's father and Mo mother stood aside, with a straight figure, Mo's father: "Young master, please eat, the mountain is mostly game, not as ... It's not as good as drinking outside, and I hope that the dishes can meet the appetite of the two young masters. β
Qi Jin stretched out a hand and smiled: "It's okay, the head of the Mo family is welcome, let's eat together." What about Brother Zi Kai? Sister Ziyan also called, they are all the same age, and they are happy to eat together. β
Qi Ming looked at the dishes on the table, they were still fresh and delicious, and he retracted his gaze and looked at the silver ring on his finger, rubbing the edge of it with his thumb.
The head of the Mo family arched his hands to Qi Jin: "Young master, the subordinates don't dare, the son is out of etiquette, and he is punished by his subordinates." β
"Where's Sister Ziyan?" Qi Ming didn't raise his eyes, but still focused on the silver ring with a light smile.
Father Mo continued: "She said that she wanted to accompany her brother, and she was also in the ancestral hall. β
Qi Ming stopped rubbing his thumb, and then raised his eyelids from the silver ring to look at Father Mo: "The head of the Mo family is so strict with his lost daughter? Didn't you just pick her up? β
"It's not that his subordinates are ruthless, it's Ziyan himself who wants to be punished with his eldest brother." Father Mo didn't dare to straighten up, and replied respectfully.
Qi Ming retracted his gaze and smiled more obviously: "It turns out that he is still a hard temper." β
Father and Mother Mo glanced at each other, and they couldn't imagine that although the second young master was small, he could have such insight into people's temperament.
"In that case, let's eat first, Brother Ming, you can go to them early after eating early." Qi Jin Qi Mingdao.
Qi Ming responded, and the two began to eat elegantly.
Qi Jin said to the head of the Mo family: "Go down, Brother Ming and I just have servants to serve." β
Mo's father and mother bowed and retreated. After a while, he couldn't see the Mo family and his wife, Qi Jin asked the servant to bring the food box and stuff everything that looked delicious, Qi Ming looked at it and helped to stuff it, and his smile spread to the corners of his eyes. The servants didn't know what they were going to do, so they were told to take whatever they were told to take, until Qi Jin and Qi Ming filled the four boxes, and Qi Jin said to the servants: "You clean up, let's eat in another place." β
Mo Youli, the steward who had just invited them over, looked at the food box, smiled, leaned over and said, "Yes, two young masters." As he spoke, he put the white silk napkin on the table on the food box and whispered, "This one must be used." β
"Okay." Qi Jin put away the white silk napkin, asked the direction of the ancestral hall and walked out of the hall with Qi Ming, Qi Jin said to Ren Jing behind him, "You don't have to follow." β
"Yes." Ren Jing nodded respectfully, then stopped, and watched the two leave.
**********************
The ancestral hall is brightly lit, and all the wooden tombstones have no names on them, only different symbolic patterns, and the scent of sandalwood is faint and spreads to various corners of the room. Ziyan sat cross-legged on the futon, concentrating on his luck, allowing his internal force to swim in his body to resist the hunger that came in waves.
"Xiao Yan'er, you haven't eaten today, you've been hungry for a long time. Go and say no to your father, go back to your room and eat and rest. Zi Kai, who was kneeling on the futon, spoke.
"I don't want it..."Ziyan opened his eyes and pouted to look at Zi Yan: "As a father, he is so heavy on you, I don't want to beg him... It's still comfortable to accompany the eldest brother~" said with a little happy look in his eyes.
"Actually, my father is still merciful, I only need to exercise my pranayama for a few days."
"Hmph, he only has the family in his heart, and he hasn't thought about it for you. Even though I've just come back, I can tell it's quite big. Is there no one in the huge Mo family except you? You can also choose among the children of the side line, if you want to run a family, you should be able to take office, what's the use of forcing it..."Ziyan don't go over his head and hum and chirp.
Seeing that he couldn't say it, Zi Kai could only give up: "Xiao Yan'er, don't talk about your father like this." All right... My brother is also happy to have you by his side, but I feel sorry for you to finally come back and still be hungry..."
"What is hunger," Mo Ziyan got up, pushed the futon closer to the eldest brother, and sat down, "Ziyan accompanies his brother, happiness is the most important thing~" said Zi Yan showed his bright eight teeth and smiled brightly.
The shadows of the trees in the courtyard rustled and moved, it was already night, the microstars began to flicker, and the two small figures in the ancestral hall were talking and laughing.
A sound of footsteps came slowly, Qi Jin and Qi Ming finally found the ancestral hall with the food box, and saw the two figures close together, Qi Ming unconsciously squinted his eyes, and Qi Jin said loudly: "Brother Zi Yan, Sister Zi Yan, see what we brought here?" β
The two figures turned their heads together, and Zi Kai: "Brother Jin, Brother Ming, you are..."
"We've brought meals, let's eat together." Qi Jin entered the house and began to open the food box behind Zi Kai.
Ziyan saw that it was all food, what kind of luck did he have, and he could only afford to eat his stomach, which was about to wilt: "Where did you get so much food?" β
Qi Ming also followed Qi Jin's side, began to open the food box in his hand, and handed a plate of roast chicken directly to Ziyan: "Ransacked the kitchen." Ziyan saw that it was roast chicken, grabbed it and gnawed it, his mouth was greasy, and he didn't even hide the tip of his nose, and said vaguely: "It doesn't matter if he steals and robs, it's all from Mojiazhuang anyway, and some of them can be eaten!" Ahh "It's another bite of crispy and tender.
Qi Jin chuckled: "Brother Ming, don't talk nonsense, it's all taken at the dinner table, Brother Ziqi." As he spoke, he placed a plate of stir-fried vegetables on the ground, handed the chopsticks to Zi Wei, and took out a plate of sliced beef, husband and wife lung slices, roast duck, mutton, and yam fried meat......
Qi Ming took the futon on the side and stuffed it to Qi Jin, and then sat down by himself, picked up the chopsticks, took a small bowl and began to eat the vegetables elegantly, Ziyan needed a few bites of vegetables to eat the roast chicken and opened his mouth to ask the eldest brother, Zi Yan happily fed, Qi Jin looked at Ziyan's eating appearance, smiled with the food, and finally swallowed it before he spoke: "Looking at Ziyan's sister's eating appearance, I have an extra appetite." β
"Hehehe, huh?" Because his mouth was stuffed, Ziyan spoke sullenly, "I'm really hungry, I haven't eaten much for a day, I want to roast chicken, in fact, I'm not usually like this, the two young masters are not to blame." β
"Brother Zi Kai is called Ben... This son is a brother, I also call you Sister Yan, you can call me Brother Jin. Said to Ziyan with a bright smile.
Ziyan licked the grease fragrance on the side of his mouth, he was stunned, he didn't dare to stare at others before, but now he saw it clearly when he was close, the little boy in front of him was the same as his eldest brother, exuding a warm taste, sword eyebrows into the sideburns, a pair of bright eyes seemed to be the sunset scattered between the leaves, the lip line was gentle, the face contour was delicate and graceful, he was like a light-colored peony poking out of the bamboo in white, and there was a bit of scholarly air in the luxury, and it took a long time to say: "Okay... Okay, brother. As he spoke, he lowered his eyelids a little embarrassed, and his eating appearance became a little gentler.
Qi Ming saw this scene into the afterglow, and smiled lightly: "No matter how savage you eat, you must chew and swallow slowly, and be careful of accumulating food." Saying that, he looked at Ziyan, "You can eat as much as you like, but you don't have to be restrained in front of us." β
"You! What's wrong with barbarism?! Delicious things, favorite things should be savagely bite, which is like you, no matter what you eat, it is the same smile expression, I don't know if you like it or not! β
Qi Jin said: "Brother Ming, how can you say that Sister Ziyan, my sister's food is very cute, I feel like I can have another bowl of rice." β
Qi Ming put a piece of shiitake mushroom into Ziyan's plate, and then picked up a piece of lotus root for her, and while sandwiching it for Ziyan, Qi Jin said: "It's rare that my brother has a big appetite, it seems that the best way to cure my brother's poor appetite is Sister Ziyan." "Then there were eggplants, fish, yams, celery... One by one, they were sandwiched into Ziyan's already empty food plate.
Then he said to Ziyan: "These are the things I don't like, now you will know my taste preferences." β
Ziyan looked at the small pieces of food, raised his head and licked the contents of the plate cleanly: "It's all delicious!" You're really out of luck! β
Qi Jin smiled: "What does Brother Lighting mean, are we going to bring Sister Ziyan back?" β
"Not impossible." Qi Ming interrupted eating, put down the dishes and chopsticks, and replied to his brother.
"I don't want it!" Ziyan wiped his mouth and said, "I practiced in the mountains for two years before I went home, and I want to stay with my parents and eldest brother, which I finally looked forward to when I looked forward to the stars and the moon!" β
"Xiao Yan'er, you are still serious, the two young masters are joking, look at your appearance, people are not good to talk about you directly." As he spoke, he reached out and picked up a white silk napkin and wiped Mo Ziyan's mouth a few times.
"Brother Mo, I didn't laugh at it, if Sister Ziyan is willing, she can set off with us afterwards." Qi Ming looked back at Mo Zixian.
Zi Kai's smile faded a little: "What does Brother Ming mean..."
"This matter still needs to be discussed in the long run, don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry," Qi Jin said to Zi Kai, and then to Qi Ming, "Brother Ming, Brother Zi Kai finally got together with Sister Ziyan, this matter still needs to be discussed, and we haven't asked about the situation on the Mo family master's side, so there is no need to rush to a conclusion." β
Mo Ziwei lowered his head when he listened, he always felt that his sister was still young, and many things would not fall on her head, but the family mission never seemed to care about the age of the person who carried out the task. Ziyan seemed to see Zi Yan's thoughts: "Big brother, this is clear... My brother also said, "Speaking of Brother Ming, Ziyan was a little reluctant, "If I want to go together, I don't want to, I will beg my father and mother to let me stay." β
"Stay? Let the Mo family master train you to be a dead man again? Qi Ming restrained his smile and said to Zi.
Everyone was stunned, looking at Qi Ming, Qi Jin had a completely disbelieving expression: "Practicing the dead? β
Mo Zixun was shocked: "Brother Ming, how did you know about this?!" β
Ziyan exclaimed: "How can you confirm that your father and mother did it?!" β
Qi Ming: "How to practice the Dead Man Demon is the unique secret technique of the Mo family, only the head of the family knows, how do you say I can confirm it?" β
"Not really!" Zi Kai retorted, "That's not the case, that's not what my father and mother meant..."
"What did I see two years ago?" Qi Ming asked Mo Zixian rhetorically.
