As soon as these words came out, the young man was suddenly in awe, those with names and surnames are generally nobles, but he has never heard of the surname Xia, could it be that he is an orphan of the Xia Dynasty?

But looking at Xia Ji's behavior and style, the young man shook his head, continued to stare at the roast chicken turning on the branch in his hand and said, "My name is Jiang Xiaobai." ”

"Jiang Xiaobai?" Xia Ji asked, noticing the middle-aged man's somewhat dissatisfied gaze, ignoring him and looking at the young man.

"Yes, Jiang Xiaobai." Gongzi Xiaobai turned his head and stared at Xia Ji, his eyes were serious.

Xia Ji smiled, okay, Jiang Xiaobai will be Jiang Xiaobai.

Looking at the reaction of the middle-aged people, eighty percent of the young people were very dissatisfied with telling their names, but they didn't say much.

The surname Jiang is more common in the Qi country, and it is generally the surname of the upper class, and it is understandable to think of the two of them hitchhiking on the road to the Qi country.

The middle-aged man lowered his head and thought for a while, as if he was considering the value of Xia Ji, he raised his head and said to Xia Ji: "Contemptible Guan Zhong." ”

After speaking, he bowed his head slightly, quite polite.

Xia Ji nodded, and listened to Guan Zhong continue: "The knight will also go to the Qi country next?" ”

"Yes." Xia Ji glanced at the hot roast chicken on the grass leaves, it seemed to be a little colder, and tentatively reached out to touch the temperature on the surface of the roast chicken.

"Why don't you go with me and be a companion?" Guan Zhong sent out an invitation and stared at Xia Ji intently.

Xia Ji looked up at Guan Zhong, lowered his head again, tried to tear off a piece of chicken with charred skin with his fingers, and said, "Isn't this traveling with a convoy?" ”

Xia Ji did not directly respond to Guan Zhong's invitation, but talked about the convoy on the side.

Guan Zhong frowned, and saw that Xia Ji was a little annoyed when he talked about him left and right, but he quickly calmed down and said slowly: "This convoy is just a cage for people to play with, and now it is just a temporary stay, could it be that Feijun wants to accompany the flower convoy to Qi Country all the time?" ”

When Xia Ji heard this, he frowned and did not answer.

Jiang Xiaobai turned his head and responded: "Guan Zhong is right, I think Xia Ji is not a person who goes with the flow, why might as well go with the flow, or arrive in Qi Country as soon as possible?" ”

"Otherwise, the convoy will be intercepted and harassed all day long, and this long journey is very worrying." Jiang Xiaobai said in a deep voice, looking at the direction of Qi Guo, with some worries in his heart.

Xia Ji thought about it, the flower team was indeed too ostentatious, "Yes." ”

Just as Xia Ji nodded in agreement, the corners of Guan Zhong's mouth rose slightly, as if he had reached the little secret in his heart, and glanced at Jiang Xiaobai.

Jiang Xiaobai also had a surprise in her eyes, just looking at the three of them getting along in the past few days, Xia Ji is definitely a capable person, even if something happens, she can take good care of herself.

Xia Ji glanced at the two of them, and suddenly felt that he had been trapped.

Let it be, though.

"Hey, it's time to go." The big man in front of the convoy shouted loudly, and in the blink of an eye, everyone stood up one after another, sorted out the scattered backpacks, and reloaded them.

Xia Ji and the three of them glanced at each other, and also followed the team on the road.

In the blink of an eye, the convoy had gone several miles, the leaves were falling, but the sun was very hot.

People who have been exposed to the sun for a long time always feel dry mouth, and their bodies are spicy and sultry.

"Shall we go take a break?" A dozen hands approached the leader's side and suggested, his fingers touching the collar and tugging hard.

The leading thug was also a little hot, and he looked at the shady roadside around him, and his heart was moved.

"Wait, I'll ask Hua Niang." The leading thug walked a few steps quickly, knocked on the edge of the car in front, and after making a sound, Hua Niang lifted the curtain from the inside, and before she could see that it was a thug, she turned her head to look at Xia Ji who was following behind.

"Flower ...... Flower girl. The leading thug spoke, and also noticed that Hua Niang was looking at Xia Ji deliberately, but he continued: "Look at ......"

"What for?" Hua Niang coldly glared at the leading thug and asked.

The thug paused, and then said: "Look, Hua Niang, do you want to stop and rest for a while?" ”

Hua Niang groaned, looked back at Xia Ji, who was slightly sweaty on his forehead, and said, "Stop." ”

"No." The thug received the order, with a trace of dissatisfaction in his eyes, but he didn't say much, and quickly stopped the carriage and shouted: "Stop! Have a rest! ”

Then everyone rushed to the shade of the trees on the side of the road and took up their places to rest.

Xia Ji and Jiang Xiaobai also slowly found a shady place, half leaned under the tree, and after taking a sip of water, they didn't say much.

"I leave every day, and the girls don't have money or accompany them, when do you think this will end?" Someone thumped his feet and complained.

"Of course, the most important thing is that life is too hard." Someone chimed in, a little away from the smelly feet.

"Oh, don't talk about these useless things, it's good to let you rest."

"Yes, yes."

The discussion stopped, and a few people came in the distance, dressed as ordinary pedestrians, but between the two of them each carried a large wooden barrel, staggering around.

As they got closer, they heard what was being shouted from their mouths.

"Sell wine, sell wine."

The man at the front waved a branch and slapped the dirt, making a snapping sound that attracted the attention of those resting on the road.

Qiu and Ben glanced at each other and quickly lowered their heads.

"Why don't we buy some wine and drink on the way?" One of the thugs suggested, reaching out from his sleeve pocket and pulling out the knife coin.

"Let's go, let's go." Three or five people shouted and stepped forward together, and gathered around the wine seller.

The wine seller muttered and took the knife coin, and a group of people gathered around, and Xia Ji didn't see it very clearly.

The group of wine sellers walked and gathered a few steps away from Xia Ji and the three of them, attracting others to buy wine again, "The wine is sweet, come and buy it!" ”

"Buy some bars and sell alcohol!" The wine seller lifted the watery wine one by one, and sprinkled it back into the barrel, and the aroma of the wine was permeated.

Xia Ji sniffed the smell of wine in the air and remained motionless.

Let the rest of the team come forward and sell the liquor.

Jiang Xiaobai glanced at Xia Ji and asked, "Do you want to drink?" I've got a knife coin here. ”

Xia Ji turned his head to look at him and shook his head in refusal.

Guan Zhong stroked his beard and said, "It's good to prepare some wine on the way." ”

"If this wine ......" Xia Ji thought for a while and said, she couldn't help but think of the previous incident when Qiu and Ben tricked her into going to the tavern.

"If others are fine, why is it only you?" Guan Zhong turned around and said, still not understanding Xia Ji's caution.

Xia Ji paused, Fang Cai's smell was not poisonous, maybe he was really too nervous?

Seeing that Xia Ji didn't answer, Guan Zhong stepped forward to buy wine from the wine seller, remembering the fragrant sake that he hadn't drunk for a long time, he couldn't help but speed up his pace a little.

When the wine seller saw Guan Zhong come forward, his eyes immediately lit up, and he hurriedly stepped forward and asked earnestly if he wanted to buy wine.

Xia Ji stared over there, his eyes a little hesitant.

Jiang Xiaobai saw that something was wrong with her, so he asked, "Xia Ji, what's wrong?" ”

Xia Ji shook his head, still not wanting to think nonsense.

She looked at Jiang Xiaobai's lips and pursed for a few minutes, but still said, "It's okay." ”

Jiang Xiaobai nodded, but still glanced at Xia Ji uneasily, and it took a long time to calm down his worries.

After a while, Guan Zhong came back from the wine seller, brought two pots of wine, and handed them to Jiang Xiaobai.

Jiang Xiaobai handed one of the bottles to Xia Ji, Xia Ji took it and opened the cork and sniffed it, there was no abnormality, she put her mind at ease, handed it to Jiang Xiaobai, and shook her head.

It didn't seem to be anything, but she was thinking too much.

Guan Zhong and Jiang Xiaobai took a sip of it, and the feeling of being full of relishes made people feel refreshed, and they really should drink some wine to quench their thirst in such weather.

The wine seller enthusiastically sold wine among the crowd, Xia Ji looked at it, handed over a pot of wine next to him, and was patted on the shoulder, "Brother, see that you haven't drunk a sip, drink some wine to quench your thirst." ”

It was one of the wine sellers, Xia Ji shook his head and said, "Thank you, I'm not thirsty." ”

The wine seller shook his head, it seemed that it was incomprehensible that there was a man who didn't drink, he left alone, mixed with the others, and secretly pointed to Xia Ji, who was sitting next to Jiang Xiaobai and Guan Zhong, and his eyes condensed for a while.

Everyone drank and talked freely, and the scene was very cheerful for a while.

Soon, however, the wine sellers waited until the wine was almost sold, and gradually regrouped together, muttering that they did not know what to say.

Everyone drank happily, the autumn heat was relieved, and they gathered together in twos and threes to talk and laugh with each other.

Mi Se stepped on the dry fallen leaves, lifted the hem of her skirt slightly, held a pot of wine she had just bought, walked towards Xia Ji and the three of them, walked five steps away, Ying Ying knelt down, and called in her mouth: "Brother Xia, why don't you have any wine?" ”

After speaking, Mise glanced at Guan Zhong and Jiang Xiaobai, as if he meant something.

The two were slightly embarrassed, Guan Zhong coughed dryly, wiped the water stains at the corners of his mouth, but didn't say much.

Xia Ji didn't answer, but just asked, "Mise, what are you doing here?" Go back quickly. ”

Seeing that those people have been staring at themselves here, isn't it related to Jiang Xiaobai?

Xia Ji couldn't help but have some cranky thoughts in her mind, and when she saw that Mise actually got out of the car, she didn't think much about it, so she asked Mise to go back quickly.

But in Mise's ears, it was Xia Ji's refusal, she took a step back, and said in a non-reluctantly manner: "Brother Xia, I bought a pot of wine, or you can drink this pot of bar." ”

Xia Ji stood up and stepped forward to take it, and gently approached Mise, in the eyes of outsiders, the behavior of the two was very intimate.

There was also some surprise in her eyes, she looked up with a fine starlight in her eyes, her slightly raised hair seemed to be shrouded in a faint golden glow by the sunlight behind her, and the fine fluff on her face was also set off by the shyness, which made her look more and more cute.

Xia Ji stretched out his hand to take the wine jug in Mise's hand, leaned forward slowly, and couldn't see Mise's expression at this time, but said: "Mise, these wine sellers are a little strange, don't get out of the carriage for a while......"

The more she listened, the more shocked she became, but she didn't show it on her face, but the light in her eyes dimmed slightly, and the smile on the corner of her mouth kept hooking.

Because she noticed that a wine seller on the other side was staring at her, she controlled the muscles on her face to prevent her expression from changing too much.

"Remember?" After Xia Ji finished speaking, he left her ear, took a step back, and saw that Mi Se's expression had not changed as before, but it looked a little stiff at this time.

Xia Ji immediately understood, and did not turn his head, but just smiled and looked at Mise.

Mise nodded and said, "Mise remember, Brother Xia be careful." ”

Xia Ji bowed his head, bowed slightly, placed his hands firmly on his waist and abdomen, and walked towards the carriage without the slightest panic.

What a good woman, Xia Ji was a little admired by Mise's composure, and couldn't help but think of her life experience, sighed, it's always right and wrong.

Xia Ji walked back and did not act rashly.

At this time, the wine seller approached Xia Ji and the others slightly, and the others hadn't noticed it, and Xia Ji didn't move, but just pinched a few stones from the ground in his palm.

The air froze slightly, and everyone still laughed unconsciously.

Shh

Syllable!

The sound of drawing knives and dropping wine vessels was mixed with a lot of noise for a while.

Someone had the tip of his ear, and he happened to look back, his eyes widened suddenly, his mouth opened, and before he could open his mouth, he was stabbed through the abdomen with a knife, and the white knife went in and the red knife came out.

The bloody and scary, the wine seller grinned slightly, and the horror shocked the people around who were already drinking and drinking excitedly, and they were dazed.

Jiang Xiaobai was stunned in place, but saw several wine sellers rushing towards him as if they had premeditated, Guan Zhong took a look and was shocked!

He hurriedly pulled Jiang Xiaobai back, his steps startled, Xia Ji glanced at the wine seller, and knew that their purpose was indeed Jiang Xiaobai.

She shouted, "Kill, run!" ”

The crowd suddenly woke up, as if a wolf had been put into the flock to wake up everyone's nerves, coupled with the drowsiness, the footsteps became more and more panicked.

The crowd was chaotic, people turned on their backs, the dust was splashed everywhere, and the shouting was chaotic.

The wine seller hurriedly rushed to Jiang Xiaobai's location before, and encountered a kill in one fell swoop, fast as a wind, fierce and swift.

Xia Ji had already dragged Jiang Xiaobai to run in the other direction, sometimes changing directions, and Guan Zhong also hurriedly followed behind, looking back from time to time.

"Don't run, stop me!" A few wine sellers really didn't know where Jiang Xiaobai and the three of them had gone, and shouted angrily.

Guan Zhong blew his beard, and ran in the direction of Xia Ji and Jiang Xiaobai, burying his head in pursuit, thinking to himself, stop a fart, are you standing there stunned and cutting them down?

Xia Ji turned a deaf ear, and didn't care if Jiang Xiaobai was tired or not, and turned around to drink, "Their target is you, because of what, you naturally know it, if you don't want to die, follow me." ”

After speaking, Xia Ji let go of his hand.

It's really pulling a person to run is not only slow, but also inefficient, so it's better to let go and run faster.

Jiang Xiaobai, who was slow behind him, was stunned when he heard this, he couldn't help but think of his compatriots, such an obvious goal of pursuit, could it be that something big had happened to Qi State?

He was filled with resentment and sadness in his heart, but he didn't have time to think about it, and only what Xia Ji said echoed in his mind was that he would follow her if he didn't want to die.

Jiang Xiaobai gritted his teeth, he didn't want to die.

He took a deep breath and looked at Xia Ji in front of him, as if a fire had ignited in his heart, making him open-minded, and endless power filled his limbs.

He couldn't help but rejoice at this time, fortunately he let Xia Ji smell whether the wine was poisonous at that time, and fortunately let Xia Ji join them.

He ran away, and when he saw Guan Zhong running behind him, he shouted, "You hurry up." ”

Guan Zhong saw that Xia Ji actually let go of Childe's hand, and let Childe lag behind her by a few steps, he blew his beard angrily and glared, and immediately followed in a hurry.

I'm afraid that my son will have an accident.

Jiang Xiaobai followed Xia Ji closely.
