When I returned to the prefect's mansion, it was already dark, but the war was not over yet, and the Eagle Boss was still resisting. The number of officers and soldiers was more than he imagined, and he was completely underestimated by the enemy, but he couldn't retreat if he wanted to, because the mountain had fallen, and the mountain was full of officers and soldiers, and he had no way to advance or retreat, so he could only fight with all his might.

After Qi Da brought the young master back, even if the task was completed, there would be no problem with handing over the rest to the emperor's Imperial Forest Army, so they planned to go home the next day, and the top priority was to reunite the young master with his father.

When Fang Qing heard that Qi Xiaohao was back, he immediately asked the kitchen to make some delicious food, and then came out to greet him in person, and said with a smile: "Xiaohao, do you remember me?" ”

"Remember, Aunt Qing, I'm still going to get married." Qi Xiaohao knew that she was close to Xie Ruqing, and he was close to everyone her mother was close to.

Fang Qing stepped forward and touched Qi Xiaohao's head, "Good boy, you're almost as tall as me, I'm afraid your mother won't recognize you." ”

"No, my mother said she would recognize me when I turned to ashes." Qi Xiaohao patted the soil on his body and said, "I have to take a bath, it's all rancid." ”

"Young master, you can't talk nonsense!" Qi Da was apprehensive when he heard the words turning into ashes, and immediately corrected.

Fang Qing laughed, "It's okay, we will be blessed in the future, everyone will rest first, I will prepare the bath water, and I will go back to the capital tomorrow." ”

"Aunt Qing, when will you and Master Yao return to Beijing?" Qi Xiaohao asked.

"We have to continue to work in Qingzhou, about three or five years, depending on the situation here, when we return to Beijing, you may be able to marry a daughter-in-law." Fang Qing joked.

"That's enough." Qi Xiaohao shook his head and sighed, "My father said that I can't get married before I am twenty." ”

Fang Qingxi laughed, "I'm afraid it's not up to your father, with this condition, the matchmaker will be able to break through the threshold in two years." ”

Qi Xiaohao slept very soundly that day, because he subconsciously knew that he was completely safe, and he had returned home, and he was guarded by people who cared about him, he didn't need to be vigilant anymore, and he had to carry a knife when he slew.

The next day, he slept until he woke up naturally, and when he came together, Qi Da told him that the Eagle Boss was captured alive last night. Qi Xiaohao was a little incredulous, "Didn't the Eagle Boss kill himself?" ”

Eagle Boss that person, in troubled times, may be able to become a hero, he has courage, courage, and backbone, he would rather commit suicide than be captured, to be honest, Qi Xiaohao had a moment yesterday, and once sighed to the Eagle Boss.

"I was going to kill myself, and I was stopped." Qi Da said, "The living gang boss is more valuable than the dead, and he can still alert other bandits in the prison." ”

There is probably another point, the emperor is worried that the eagle boss and the abolished prince still have some secrets that he does not know, so he will definitely bring him into the capital for interrogation.

"Lord Yao, there's no trouble here, right?" Qi Xiaohao was a little uneasy about leaving, so he asked.

"The eagle boss is ambushed, the abolished prince is dead, and the trouble is naturally gone, but the mess is enough for him to be busy." Qi Da said, "Young master, don't worry, Lord Yao is also a golden nobleman, it is impossible for the emperor to let him do anything, and he sent 50,000 soldiers to guard nearby." ”

Qi Xiaohao was relieved, after lunch, and after saying goodbye to Fang Qing and Yao Zheng, Qi Xiaohao followed Qi Da on the road back to Beijing.

As soon as the group left the Qingzhou boundary, they met Zhang Zhao and others, and Uncle Hei specially sent them to meet Qi Da.

"Zhang Zhao!" Qi Xiaohao had a cold face after a long absence, and he was very happy, so he greeted him from afar.

Zhang Zhao has never been relaxed since Qi Xiaohao disappeared, he has always blamed himself for his own negligence that caused Qi Xiaohao to disappear, plus he was injured last time, and he was even more unhappy, so Uncle Hei sent him, and he came all the way quickly, just asking for a force to save people, but he didn't expect it to be too late.

"Young Master Qi." Zhang Zhao stepped forward immediately, hit the horse and got down, staring at Qi Xiaohao with his eyes to confirm that he had broken his arm and leg, "Young Master Qi is okay?" ”

"Okay!" Qi Xiaohao turned around twice in place, and then jumped up and hung on Zhang Zhao's shoulder, coquettish like a three-year-old doll, "Zhang Dazhao, don't you miss me very much!" ”

Zhang Zhao's face darkened at first, and then he was a little embarrassed, he was not used to being close to anyone, but this kid dared to pluck the feathers on the tiger's head.

"Well, I really want to." Zhang Zhao whispered awkwardly.

The brothers who heard it were dumbfounded, who would have thought that Zhang Da Dharma Protector would have this side, listen to this soft and strong!

"I'm sorry last time, Zhang Dazhao." Qi Xiaohao jumped down from the person and said, "I didn't mean not to give you face, I really couldn't help myself in the enemy camp, you must forgive me." ”

Zhang Zhao was very angry at the time, but after seeing Qi Xiaohao injured, he lost all his temper, and all that was left was to blame himself.

"You can't be so naughty in the future," Zhang Zhao said with a deliberately straight face, "and you can't joke with your own life." ”

"Oh, I know, I know, mother-in-law." Qi Xiao was angry, and Zhang Zhao said unhappily.

The surrounding brothers all laughed, making Zhang Da Dharma Protector very faceless.

After everyone finished laughing, Qi Da said to Zhang Zhao: "You have a trip to work, and you must come to thank Uncle Hei in person when you turn around." ”

Zhang Zhao didn't say anything serious when he remembered it, "I made a special trip to pick up Young Master Qi to Jinan, and the Marquis of Qingyang and his wife are waiting for the young master in Jinan Mansion at the moment." ”

"Huh?" Qi Xiaohao was surprised, "My father and mother are here?" ”

Qi Da also didn't expect it, it seems that after the news was transmitted back, the master and his wife couldn't sit still.

"Yes, I just arrived yesterday, if it weren't for Uncle Hei to stop them, they would have come to Qingzhou Mansion." Zhang Zhaodao.

"Let's get out of here, then." Qi Da estimated that the master and his wife must be anxious, and they had to go back quickly.

After the group converged, there was no delay, and they hurried to Jinan Mansion overnight.

Qi Yanzhi and Xie Ruqing didn't know that their son was safe and sound at the moment, and they were rushing towards them, and they were still worried about it in their hearts, and they couldn't eat or sleep.

"Why hasn't there been any news yet?" Xie Ruqing sat on pins and needles, and after a while, he was about to get up and walk around the room, "Qi Yanzhi, why don't we go to Qingzhou, it's closer to pass on the news." ”

Qi Yanzhi pretended to be calm with a book, and he was also anxious, but he couldn't show it, otherwise the two of them would be in a hurry together, which would make people even more anxious.

"Madam, you sit down and rest for a while, if you can't sleep, how about reading with your husband?" Qi Yanzhi said soothingly.

"Do you think I can see it?" Xie Ruqing sat down and sighed, "Don't talk about me, you have uncovered a few pages this night, you have to make a show if you can't read it, you can't see it?" ”

Qi Yanzhi put down the book with a smile, "Madame is discerning and thoughtful, and she sighs for her husband." ”

Xie Ruqing was helpless, and also laughed, and sighed after laughing, "People, the so-called calmness is all my own deception, since the little trouble left, I have never been calm in my heart, when there is no news, it is okay, I will admit it when I think about it in despair, but once there is news, I will start to go up and down again, and now it is better, like sitting on pins and needles, if I had the right wings, I would have flown by this time." ”

Qi Yanzhi held her hand and said: "It's not that we can't go, it's just that we can't help if we go, Yao Zheng is messy if he wants to come, it's better to listen to the news, there are Uncle Hei, Qi Da and tens of thousands of elite soldiers of the emperor, if you can't save it, then maybe it's your life, if you can save it, maybe it's already on the road at this time, at most one day, no matter what the news can come back." ”

Isn't it just nervous, Xie Ruqing sighed, this is like waiting for God to pronounce the verdict, worrying about his heart.

The two waited anxiously and expectantly for half a night, and when the day was about to dawn, they finally heard the voice of their long-lost son.

At that time, Xie Ruqing was lying on the table and napping, spending two nights, no matter how he couldn't hold on, he squinted for a while in the second half of the night. When Qi Xiaohao shouted to her mother in the yard, she thought it was a dream, after all, over the years, she could often hear Xiaohao shouting in her dreams: "Mother, you miss me!" ”

It wasn't until Qi Yanzhi woke her up that she woke up like a dream, "Is it a small fuss?" ”

Qi Yanzhi hugged her and gave her a kiss on the forehead, "It's our son, he's back." ”

Xie Ruqing almost couldn't stand steadily, and tears welled up at that moment, and then, in her blurred vision, she saw Qi Xiaohao standing at the door.

"Mother!" Qi Xiaohao jumped directly from the door to her mother as before, and hugged his mother's neck without saying a word, "I miss you, do you miss me?" ”

Xie Ruqing's tears couldn't be held back in the end, she laughed while flowing, she hugged her son tightly, and couldn't say a word.

It's really not angry, she blames herself in her heart, she can't reunite with her son normally, when she cries, she will definitely blame herself for making a little trouble.

"Mother, don't cry, don't you beat me, I made you cry, my father will beat me." Qi Xiaohao also thinks about his mother, but his concern is not the same thing as Xie Ruqing, he is ambitious and confident, but his mother is uneasy. It was at this moment that he realized that he was not in these years, and his mother must have died sadly, probably thinking that he was dead.

"Your mother is crying with joy." Qi Yanzhi looked at the two and said.

Xie Ruqing also eased up at this moment and said with a smile; "Yes, I'm crying with joy, it's good for you to come back, my mother hasn't seen you for a long time."

Qi Xiaohao looked at his father's eyes, and then laughed as if he was fine, "Mother, I'm fine, you see, there's nothing, I've grown up and can deal with danger, don't worry about me in the future, I'll have wrinkles." ”

Xie Ruqing sneered, pointed to his son's nose and said, "You bear child is not serious." ”

Then he touched his son's face, gestured his head, and sighed that his son had grown up and was longer than his shoulders.

The family of three reunited, happy and happy, everyone tacitly agreed that they did not say anything bad, just talked and laughed, and after breakfast, they met Uncle Hei together.

"Good boy!" Uncle Hei saw Qi Xiaohao again, in addition to emotion is appreciation, to be honest, it was his age, and he didn't necessarily have a life when he entered the thief's den, this kid was able to come back with all his beard and tail, and he also took the eagle boss's thief's nest in one fell swoop, just by virtue of this, he can be a god in the rivers and lakes.

"I heard Zhang Zhao say, you have contributed a lot to the thief's nest this time, you have good skills, boy."

"Hehe, Uncle Hei, I'm just lucky." Qi Xiaohao didn't dare to be big in front of Uncle Hei, and was very modest, "That is, I look more likable, and I can eat anywhere, so people call me foolish, in fact, I don't have any ability, and my reading has been wasted over the years, and I just grow tall." ”

made Uncle Hei laugh, this kid not only has grown taller, but he is also familiar with the world, he is originally a personal essence, and his experience over the years is even more amazing, even if he has no ability, just with this brain and mouth, he will also be a character in the future.

If it weren't for Qi Yanzhi being such a baby bump, Uncle Hei really wanted to keep Qi Xiaohao by his side and cultivate it carefully, and he would definitely be a big man in the future, but at the same time, he felt that such a talent, how much waste he put on the rivers and lakes, it was better to toss the court, in the final analysis, the people's livelihood and well-being depend on the ability of the superiors.

"I heard you brought back four wolves?" Uncle Hei didn't talk about it, and asked about the wolf, "But let you Uncle Hei and I increase my knowledge, I haven't had close contact with a wolf in most of my life." ”

"You wait, I'll call them." Qi Xiaohao immediately ran to the door, bent his fingers into a whistle, and blew a few long whistles.

Then it didn't take long for everyone to watch in surprise as the four wolves ran to Uncle Hei's yard one after another, these four wolves had been following Qi Xiaohao, and when Qi Xiaohao saw his father, he stayed honestly in another yard. Uncle Hei's men were all scared at first and did not dare to come forward, but later found that the four wolves had a very good temper, more honest than a dog, and they all felt very novel.

What's even more surprising is that the moment they heard the whistle together, the four wolves who were originally honest actually ran away, this is a wolf is not a dog, and I don't know how the owner domesticated it.

"It's amazing."

"Yes, it's the first time I've seen such an obedient wolf."

Uncle Hei's subordinates were talking one after another.

Uncle Hei was also startled when he saw the four wolves rushing into the house together, the four wolves said that it was not a big deal, but it was still quite visually shocking when they entered the house together.

"Good fellow, you're a great kid." Uncle Hei couldn't help but stand up and walked towards the four wolves, and the four wolves just stared at him a little guardedly, probably because Uncle Hei was relatively strong, but none of them made any moves.

"Well, no, it's just that they follow me when they are wild, and we get acquainted after playing together for a long time." Qi Xiaohao said.

Xie Ruqing was even more frightened, she was a woman in the house, not to mention a wolf, the dog had never been in contact, and four big guys were in front of her at once, and she didn't slow down for a long time.

"Mother, don't be afraid, they don't hurt people easily." Qi Xiaohao stood in front of her mother, got close to her in front of A, B, C, and Ding, and then held Xie Ruqing's hand and stroked the four wolves in turn.

A, B, C, and Ding knew that Xie Ruqing was a person close to Qi Xiaohao, so he took the initiative to approach Xie Ruqing, although they were more docile than dogs, Xie Ruqing was still a little scared.

"Xiao Fu, are they going to live in our house in the future?" Xie Ruqingguang shuddered when he thought about the four wolves living in the house in the future. This is good, there are four wolves here, maybe there will be wolf cubs in the future, and there is no need to take care of them in the house, who would dare to come to the door.

"If nothing else, they have to live in our house." Qi Xiaohao said, "They only recognize me, and if they are not restrained by me, I am afraid that they will bite." ”

Also biting! Xie Ruqing was even more trembling.

Qi Yanzhi said: "If you have the opportunity in the future, you should release them into the mountains and forests, in the end, they are not things that are kept in captivity, and it may not be good for them." ”

That's right, it's not cats and dogs, it's okay to raise them in the mountains before, it's where they should live, and they are wronged at home, and it may not be a good thing for them to lose their wildness.

Qi Xiaohao was reluctant to do so, for fear that the four fools would not have a heart, so he would ask other beasts to bully him after free-range, "Besides, Dad, let's let them grow some skills." ”

This matter is not in a hurry, it is not necessary to discuss an idea now, Qi Yanzhi did not say any more, anyway, when he returns to the capital, this kid probably has no time to care about the wolf.

Qi Xiaohao made a lot of calculations, but he didn't calculate his fate after returning to Beijing, and he talked and laughed along the way, behaving coquettishly in front of his father, feeling that he was still a doll who was going to be hurt by his father.

In the first few days after returning to Beijing, Young Master Qi received love and concern from all sides, from the emperor to the street vendors, all of whom greeted him with warmth and care. The return of the young master of the Qi family has almost become a major event in the capital, this is a hero who can come back alive after being trapped in the bandits' nest, and he has joined forces with the court to end the bandits' nest in one fell swoop, which is comparable to a great hero who protects his family and defends the country.

"Little Master Qi, this is our own baked cake, don't dislike it, take some back and eat it."

"Young Master Qi, this is the pastry in our shop, your favorite food in the past, you haven't eaten it for many years, take it back and eat it."

"Young Master Qi, this is a little oily chicken, if you don't eat it, they will miss you."

Qi Xiaohao went to the street, and collected things all the way, but then he couldn't accept it, so he had to ask Qi Er to pull the carriage and give a return gift by the way.

"Thank you, uncles, aunts and sisters-in-law, I have taken them all, I will definitely eat them when I go back." Qi Xiaohao bowed and thanked him from house to house, and walked down the whole street, almost breaking his waist.

"Oh my mother." When he went home, Qi Xiaohao helped his old waist to enter the door, "Everyone is too enthusiastic, I have to eat these things for a long time, Qi Er, you can send some to the barracks for Ah Dan and them." ”

Ah Dan came back with him, and as soon as he came back, he went back to the barracks, saying that he didn't want the Hou Mansion to thank him, Qi Xiaohao felt that he owed Ah Dan a life.

Qi Er snorted and said, "I want to send you in person, it's Young Master Qi who people want to see, not me." ”

Just now on the street, there was an eldest lady who squeezed a big man like Qi Er aside in order to see Qi Xiaofu, and Qi Erye's heart was so sad.

Qi Xiaohao laughed, "Second Brother Qi, don't be so careful, people are screaming at the second uncle, you can't be so ruthless." ”

Qi Er snorted again.

Complaining is complaining, Qi Er still has to drive to deliver food, Ah Dan They got food, and they are happy not to mention it.

After Qi Xiaohao went home, he got the news that the emperor and the queen were coming, and he hurriedly ran to greet the emperor and queen.

"Uncle Emperor! Aunt Queen! He jumped up and ran close to the house, but he didn't see it clearly, and then he bumped into a man on the head, "Oops! Who's standing in the way at the door! ”

The other party was directly knocked to the ground by him, and also shouted: "Who is so short-sighted!" ”
