Chapter 316: The Outlaw (5)
Xiao Qi's face turned pale, the experience just now really made her tremble, remembering the situation at that time.
When Xiao Qi experienced the boat climbing uphill, he realized that this monster was going upside without oars and sails, and it was still climbing a standing slope at that time.
"Xiao Qi, what's wrong with you?"
Xiao Qi pointed to the monster behind him and said, "Monster! ”
Yue Qingyi smiled and said, "Okay, don't think about it, you have to go to see Childe." ”
Xiao Qi still looked at the monster behind him in fear, and seemed to tremble a little, and slowly left the monster's place under the traction of Yue Qingyi.
When he was far away, Xiao Qi still wanted to continue to look in the direction of the monster, and Yue Qingyi said, "Don't look back." ”
Although they didn't know why Yue Qingyi said this, they slowly walked out along the mountain road to the bottom, and when they passed a relatively flat place, Xiao Qi saw the pavilions at the foot of the mountain.
"This is..."
"Huaihuang Mansion."
Xiao Qi looked at the mountain behind him again, and the sound of the water that he could hear just now was no longer moving.
Xiao Qi paused, glanced behind him and asked, "Sister Qingyi, that river?" ”
Yue Qingyi said: "When you get to Mr.'s house, you may know everything, but now I don't know, so I can't answer your doubts." ”
When Xiao Qi looked down from the mountain just now, he found that this place was brilliantly lit, but after getting closer, he felt that this place was prosperous.
Compared to many towns on the road, this place is really much stronger, and even better than the night market in the capital.
Xiao Qi asked, "Sister Qingyi, here..."
Yue Qingyi said: "Huaihuang Mansion is close to Huaishui, and most merchant ships stop here, and the weather here is suitable, so it has now become a transportation point for the south and the north. ”
Xiao Qi said suspiciously: "Then why have I never heard of it?" ”
"You may not believe it when you say it, Xiaoqi, this is China, the country of Chengguo."
"Country?"
Due to its special historical status, Huaihuang Mansion does not set up officials in the imperial court, and everything here is completely controlled by the five local families.
Of course, there are no officials here, it doesn't mean that there is no royal law here, the five major families here represent the official government, and even in order to ensure the status here, the five major families will even set some more cumbersome rules than the royal law of the imperial court.
Of course, this is an important town to come and go, and such a big piece of fat is not a password from Emperor Taizu that can make Chengguo give up here.
The taxes contributed by the five major families to Chengguo are not lower than those collected by Chengguo himself, so this strange tradition has been formed.
The so-called five families, Xiao Qi didn't know even more, and after Xiao Qi listened to Yue Qingyi's words, he was even more confused.
"Forget it, you still need to understand these things slowly in the future, and I can only give you a rough idea now."
Xiao Qi nodded, not continuing to ask the question, "How long do we have to arrive?" ”
The people who were on the boat with Xiao Qiyi didn't follow, and before they got off the boat, there were people who had been arranged by Yue Qingyi waiting here.
So the heavy responsibility of carrying Xue Yi was handed over to these people.
Xiao Qi walked forward on his own, not seeing that Yue Qingyi had stopped near the street at all.
"Little Seven? Xiao Qi, wait! ”
Xiao Qi was wearing tattered clothes, coupled with the moon light clothes beside him, which looked quite eye-catching in this street.
Xiao Qi, who was grabbed by Xiao Qi, realized the call of Yue Qingyi just now.
"What's wrong? Light-clothed class? ”
Yue Qingyi held Xiao Qi's hand and said, "Xiao Qi, don't be in a hurry to go, someone will come to pick us up later." ”
Xiao Qi wanted to walk towards the crowd by himself when Yue Qingyi didn't see it, if it weren't for Yue Qingyi's quick eyes, Xiao Qi would have walked to the center of the crowd now.
Xiao Qi sighed, looked around, and the moment he came back to his senses just now, he felt the sight from all sides.
Looking at his clothes, Xiao Qi smiled awkwardly, and returned to Heyue Qingyi.
Xiao Qi's clothes are not only muddy, but also mixed with bloodstains, if you go out directly, I am afraid that it will frighten pedestrians, which is not the most important thing.
The most important thing is that because of this, if you cause trouble for your son, Yue Qingyi will be uncomfortable.
Xiao Qi asked, "Are we waiting for someone to come here?" ”
"Of course, otherwise, you can ignore other people's eyes and walk outside, Xue Yi is so seriously injured, you can't bear to watch her go directly to Zhang's house?"
"The Zhang family is far away."
Xiao Qi sighed, and sat on the seat of a pavilion under the tugging of Yue Qingyi.
Xiao Qi looked at the things around him, and he didn't know why there was this pavilion here, and he walked all the way down to find that the places he had just passed by had steps.
Xiao Qi asked, "What is this mountain?" ”
"This mountain belongs to your brother, of course Childe didn't say what this mountain is going to do, I also heard Miss Nursery Rhyme say that this place is going to be used as a villa construction area by your brother?"
"What's that?"
"I don't know, there's nothing up there anyway, just that weird ferry."
Xiao Qi sighed, now Xiao Qi is not in much of a mood, and Yue Qingyi said these things, just like that, fell into silence again, and it didn't take long for a few carriages to arrive below.
Xiao Qi and Xue Yi were sent to different carriages, of course, Xue Yi was accompanied by Yue Qingyi as a patient, and Xiao Qi was one by one.
Xiao Qi, who didn't have the leisure to watch the scene outside, leaned on the carriage and fell asleep.
"Little Seven."
A male voice full of this magnetism suddenly sounded in Xiao Qi's ears, and Xiao Qi opened his eyes to look at the man who lifted the curtain of his car.
"Brother."
"yes, you're finally here."
After Zhang Biao welcomed Xiao Qi into the mansion, he asked people to take Xiao Qi to rest, if Xiao Qi was not very tired now, he would definitely find that these people were selected by Fan Wei in the Zhang family.
Xue Yi was also arranged in a room, and only Yue Qingyi and Zhang Biao were left at the gate of the courtyard.
"Childe, Xiaoqi, how should we arrange it?"
"Let's talk about it tomorrow, you've worked hard all the way, go back and rest."
Yue Qingyi looked at Zhang Biao, who was haggard, and felt a little distressed, "Childe, you can also take a rest." ”
Yue Qingyi knew that Zhang Biao was busy now, and the world today could not be called peaceful, and besides, the people in the five major families of Huaihuang Mansion were not of the same mind.
To add insult to injury, nursery rhymes and Xiao Youyi's disappearance.
"It's okay, you go and rest first."
Zhang Biao looked at Yue Qingyi, who didn't want to go back, and said, "Don't worry, this little thing is just a very simple thing for me." ”
"Childe, do you think I'll believe you're okay now? Let me take some of the burden for you. ”
Zhang Biao smiled: "Who do you think I am?" It's just that I've been reading for too long these days, so go back and rest, I'm going to rest too. ”
Yue Qingyi was still a little worried and said, "Childe, you really don't have anything?" ”
Zhang Biao yawned and said, "What? You don't believe me? ”
Yue Qingyi nodded, bowed to Zhang Biao, and walked towards a courtyard in the mansion.
Zhang Biao stretched his waist, thinking that since Xiao Qi had already come, he didn't have to do anything for the time being, and he could sleep well these days.
The next day, Xiao Qi woke up with the thunder in his stomach.
After Xiao Qi got up, he touched his stomach and said, "Why are you hungry again." ”
Xiao Qi lifted the curtain on his bed, the dazzling sunlight was coming, Xiao Qi covered the light outside with his hand, and said, "Is it so late?" ”
Xiao Qi climbed down from the bed, sat down on the table, took the kettle above in his hand, and poured himself a glass of water.
Looking at the decoration of this room, Xiao Qi is very familiar, except for the black bed curtain that I don't know what to use, the other furniture decorations are according to the appearance of the courtyard in his capital.
Xiao Qi gave birth to a sense of astonishment that everything was his own dream.
Or when they heard movement in the room, the door was opened at this time, and two maids walked in from the outside, "Miss, you are awake." ”
Xiao Qi put down the water glass and looked at the two people who came in, and he also had a feeling of déjà vu.
"You guys?"
"Miss Seven, the two of us are the subordinates who came here with the girl in light clothes before."
Xiao Qi nodded sluggishly, he didn't care about this, of course, even a maid wouldn't feel how important she was, so that Xiao Qi would remember them.
"Miss Seven, let's take care of your makeup."
When the two maids left to groom Xiao Qi, they suddenly heard a cry from Xiao Qi's stomach, and the two maids glanced at each other without saying too much.
Xiao Qi was a little embarrassed and asked, "What time is it now?" ”
The two maids replied: "If Miss Hui Seven, it's just past noon." ”
"Is it past noon? Know how long I've been asleep? ”
The two maids shook their heads, when Xiao Qi came, they didn't know, and truthfully said that they only received the notice in the morning, saying that Miss Seven was here, and asked them to come over to take care of it.
"Miss Seven, Mr. has already instructed, after you finish dressing up, go eat something first, and then go to see him, Childe also ordered, saying that Miss Xue Yi is okay now, please rest assured."
Xiao Qi is only one person who is worried about Xue Yi, since Xue Yi is all safe, of course she has nothing to ask.
It's just that Xiao Qi sensed through the bronze mirror that these two people had something to ask Xiao Qi about.
