During Qin Xun's few years in Pingzhou, Jiangnan, his mother Lin Chu left five Lin family secret guards by his side, surnamed Lin, A, B, C, D, and E, only the leading Lin Jia would be in the open to protect Qin Xun when he traveled alone, and the remaining four were hidden in the dark all year round.

When he saw the little beggar Ah Qi again, Qin Xun was accompanied by Lin Jia to listen to people in the teahouse, at that time, in the early winter, he had lived in Pingzhou for more than a year, and it was the second winter he would spend in Pingzhou.

In the cold winter, no one wants to stay outside to blow the wind and be cold, most of the pedestrians passing by the door love to come into the teahouse to rest for an hour, drink a pot of hot tea, and listen to a story. Qin Xun thought that the people in the teahouse were crowded and stuffy, so he chose a position at an angle by the window, and opened the window slightly to let the cold wind into the ventilation.

Outside the window downstairs is a secluded alley interior scene, three or five beggars are surrounding a thin beggar curled up on the ground punching and kicking and snatching the things in his hands, Qin Xun held his cheeks and said indifferently to Lin Jia: "Winter is difficult, food is rarely found, and at this time they don't talk about the morality of each looking for their own food." ”

Lin Jia looked at a few beggars downstairs and said, "Such beggars will definitely start to grab food, and if they don't stop, they will be killed." As he spoke, there was not a trace of fluctuation in his usual expression and voice as a long-time secret guard.

The beaten little beggar was kicked by someone and turned over, Qin Xun barely recognized a few traces of familiarity from his embarrassed face: "Oh, it's the one named Ah Qi in their pile, that kid has hard bones, it's normal to be beaten in a pile of beggars who live like that." He looked at Ah Qi's stubborn appearance of biting his lip and not crying out for mercy, and said with interest, "But it fits my eyes." ”

Lin Jia took the opportunity to ask, "Does Childe want to save him?" ”

"Let's see, when they finish fighting, if the kid is out of gas, just find him in the ground and bury him, if there is still gas, it's not impossible to bring him back." Qin Xun said without emotion, as soon as the words fell, the thin beggar lying on his back was facing his gaze leaning out of the window from the second floor of the teahouse, and he was surprised for a moment, and then closed his eyes tightly in shame and did not want to look at him.

He was about to be beaten to death, and he still had the strength to take care of his pride.

Qin Xun sighed and changed his words: "That's it, let's take him away now, in case he is beaten half to death, he will have to work hard to support him when he is brought back." ”

Lin Jia stepped out of the window in response, and heard the eleven-year-old little master behind him add lightly: "Kill all the beaters." ”

Lin Jiamian replied "yes" without changing his face.

The screams were not heard, the beggar Ah Qi, who was lying on the ground with his eyes closed, suddenly felt that his side was empty, and there were no more fists and kicks that fell to him, but a few heavy objects fell to the ground with a muffled sound, he opened his eyes and barely supported his upper body, and saw a sturdy man with an expressionless face standing beside him, and the few beggars who had just beaten him lay on the ground without falling to the ground, and they were all silent.

Ah Qi just wanted to speak, coughing up blood from his mouth, he stared blankly at the blood splashed on his rags, wondering if he had broken his spleen and died soon.

Qin Xun left the tea money on the tea table, and the light skills that he had learned for a short time also fell down from the window, pinched the beggar's jaw and looked at it, and said casually: "I hurt my teeth, I bleed in the mouth, and I won't die."

Finish. He took off the thin cloak he had added in the winter and covered the beggar with his head, and asked Lin Jia to wrap him and carry him away.

Ah Qi lost consciousness at the moment when he was picked up by the sturdy man next to the rich little boy, and when he woke up again, he lay on the bed in a warm room, the blue-eyed beautiful young man sat on the edge of the bed and looked at him, he opened his mouth, felt that his throat was dry and couldn't speak, the young man handed him a glass of water, and said first: "Follow me, I treat you well, you do things for me, don't follow me, heal your injuries and leave, those few will kill you today, and I won't care about you if you are beaten by others in the future." ”

It's really an unkind and arrogant and willful rich young master, Ah Qi drank the water and slandered in his heart, moistened his throat and replied: "Then if you save me, don't I owe you a favor?" ”

Qin Xun smiled and nodded: "Yes, so you think about how to pay it back." ”

The five-year-old beggar lowered his head: "I'll follow you, except for a life, I don't have enough to repay the favor to someone like you." ”

A few words of work, no extra care and discussion, beggar Ah Qi since the early winter of the age of five, followed Qin Xun so far, Qin Xun did not take him back to Jinghong Villa, but threw him in the courtyard where he was placed when he was brought back, and asked the Lin family secret guard under his hand to train him to enter the secret guard, this child has long since not remembered the name and surname when he was born in a rich family before becoming a beggar Ah Qi, only vaguely remembered that he was Shen Yue's birthday, Qin Xun gave him a big name Qin Shen with his Qin surname at will, and he didn't care about him on weekdays, Qin Shen followed Lin Jia a little more, and every once in a while Qin Xun came to this courtyard to see him, holding him on his lap and teaching him to read and write.

At first, Qin Shen would feel embarrassed and uncomfortable sitting in the little boy's arms, but Qin Xun described it as natural and said indifferently: "What is this, my cousin taught me like this in the past." ”

Later, Qin Xun entered the Sect of Killing, concealed the secret guards of the Lin family, and brought Qin Shen alone to enter with him, and Qin Shen became the secret guard who belonged to Qin Xun alone, which was secretly different from the secret guards assigned to him by Qin Xun's father's mother's family, and set up another secret guard to contact the Sect Killer, and Qin Shen led it at a young age.

A few years later, Qin Shen and Qin Xun's personal Lin family guards moved from the old courtyard where they used to rest, and the original courtyard housed Miao Nu Agu, and now Qin Xun returned to Chang'an and took Qin Shen with him.

I didn't have lunch in Jingyang Palace, Qin Xun took Qin Shen over to fill his stomach at this time, and handed him another secret letter and medicine bottle: "After coming back, I have nothing to do with refining medicine for a while, you ask the people below to send it to Pingzhou to take a look at Ah Gu." ”

The ten-year-old boy took the letter and couldn't help but say, "You just remembered that you want to send a letter to Pingzhou at this time." ”

Qin Xun touched his nose: "Isn't it that after coming back, things were too busy to settle down." ”

Qin Shen glanced at him obliquely, not debunking his forgetfulness.

After the meal, Qin Xun led Qin Shen to Buzhuang to order a few sets of autumn clothes for him, and took him to the market to wander around, and then went to the street stall to buy two paper bags of sugar fried chestnuts, and handed a bag to Qin Shen: "In the future, we will live in Chang'an for a long time, if you want to play, you can come out and play by yourself, don't get lost, just send a message to me when you don't have money." Leaning over to the little boy's ear and half-jokingly, "

Find out the terrain of Chang'an and each household, don't ask you to come out and kill someone one day, you can't find a way. ”

Qin Shen's eyelashes drooped: "Understood." ”

When Qin Xun returned to the palace with another bag of sugar-fried chestnuts, it was already dusk, Fang stepped into the hall, Qing Yan saw him with a relieved look, he asked with a smile: "What's the matter, sister, I'm afraid I won't lose it?" ”

"But it's back, if you don't see anyone again, Your Highness doesn't know how angry you will be."

Qin Xun looked inexplicable: "He's awake?" What are you angry about? ”

"No, you can coax yourself."

When Qin Xun turned into the inner room, Qi Jing was not on the bed, he put the sugar-fried chestnuts on the table, turned around the bath, bypassed the obscured translucent screen, and saw Qi Jing soaking in hot water with his back against the pool wall.

He had a slight cleanliness habit, and after drinking the medicine, he fell asleep, and his body was sweating, and he must have come to bathe.

In addition to his shoes and socks, Qin Xun was still wearing clothes, walked over and squatted down, stretched out his hand and reached out to Qi Jing's forehead, and laughed for a while: "At this time, the heat is steaming so high that the body temperature is high, but it is not good to find out if your fever has subsided, Qi Jing, are you still uncomfortable?" ”

"Okay."

Qin Xun listened to his cold tone, and asked him with some inexplicability: "Qing Yan said that you are angry, it seems that I am still angry, you say, you are fine before going to bed, and when you wake up, you will be angry with me, could it be that I am angry with you in your dream?" ”

Qi Jing grabbed the wrist he was probing on his forehead, turned his head and looked at him lightly: "Let's wash together?" ”

"Wash." Qin Xun was about to break away from his hand and get up to undress when he suddenly felt a strong force on his wrist, his body suddenly became weightless, and he tilted his head into the bath with a thin layer of hot mist at his feet.

Qi Jing was still considerate, and the moment he fell into the bath, he put his other hand around his waist, not making him embarrassed and choking on water, Qin Xun looked at Qi Jing's calm face in amazement, and poked the clothes that were still bulging on the water when he fell into the water when he fell into the water: "Why, so impatient?" ”

"What did I say to you before I went to bed?" Qi Jing asked.

"Didn't you say a bunch of today's events, which one did you ask?"

Qi Jing pursed his lips: "I said that when I sleep for a while, you must not leave my side." ”

Qin Xun looked at him with wide eyes for a moment: "I thought you were just talking casually, and you didn't take these gossips seriously before, besides, didn't you mean to tell me to stay in Jingyang Hall for a while to accompany you?" ”

Qi Jing didn't bother to reply, so he directly covered the placket of his shirt and opened it, Qin Xun blocked it: "Don't move, you are sleepy and want to sleep at that time, I have a lot of things that I haven't clarified with you, that's it...... Okay, I'll take it off, you're not busy, I'll take it off myself, I'll ...... Okay, okay, you pick it, you pick it, you pick it. ”

He pushed Qi Jing several times and turned a deaf ear, Qin Xun simply gave up resistance, let him pull his clothes, and finally took off his bath, and took off Qi Jing by himself.

It was not easy to take off the clothes that were stained with water and stuck to the body, Qi Jing took them off one by one without saying a word, his movements were a little inexplicably rude, Qin Xun raised his hands and legs to cooperate with his movements, and couldn't help but take the opportunity to laugh at him: "What's wrong with you,

Meng Lang is sick for a while, do you know that this is called lightness, what do you want me to do when I finish picking up my clothes? ”

"I told you not to leave me, so that I should not wake up and see you. Ah Xun, now I only have you, I can't leave you, do you know how panicked I was when I woke up and was empty next to me, you clearly answered me, you answered me or left. ”

If Qin Xun vaguely felt that something was wrong with Qi Jing before, now he is sure that Qi Jing is really wrong.

Qi Jing will never be unforgiving in such a subtle matter, let alone answer questions like this and only say something that is almost childish and vexatious, he has always been calm and gentle, how can there be such a time as if he was almost emotionally broken and vented his anger.

Qi Jing had already stripped him of his clothes inside and out, and the clothes that were thrown in the bath at will floated and floated away slowly, Qin Xun hurriedly leaned over and hugged him, and asked while being frightened.

"Qi Jing, what's wrong with you, you tell me." I'm afraid it's not that I'm sick and burned out my brain, how can I give birth to such abnormal words and deeds.

Qi Jing followed his move of approaching and comforting him and naturally hugged him, the two inchless young people's bodies were close together, Qi Jing's hot palms were close to the skin on his back, with a straightforward and comforting meaning, but he was silent, making Qin Xun frightened and unbearable, and he almost couldn't suppress the sound of rolling in his throat.
