"I'll go back to the capital with Sakura in a few days, do you want to go back?" Su Zehan seriously asked Lu Xiaoqi for his opinion, Han Luoying also turned his head to look at her, Lu Xiaoqi paused for the chopsticks in his hand, and a trace of complexity flashed in his eyes, "I...... Let me think. ”

Lu Xiaoqi hesitated, he didn't go back for more than a year, he missed his brother, he thought about Qiqiao, and he also wanted to ...... Home.

"Uncle, when you're full, go out for a walk." Squinting and smiling, after being together for so long, Su Zehan and Han Luoying could certainly see which was a real smile and which was a fake smile.

"Poof...... Lu Xiaoqi was bleeding from the corner of his mouth, it looked like it hurt, the sword was inserted from behind his back, straight through his chest, Lu Xiaoqi turned around and looked at the man in despair, "Why...... Why, why do you do this to me, why don't you save me, I hate you, I hate you......" The roar came, and it was not the body that hurt more than the pain, it was the soul......

On the bed, nightmares repeatedly, Xiao Yichen muttered, trembling, and kept spitting out the words "You come back, you come back...... Lin Qi, who heard the voice, glanced over and felt that there was someone around, so he grabbed it, Lin Qi was stunned, the prince must be having a nightmare.

Hands on his forehead, not so hot, the medicine boiled by the military doctor is still effective, Ah Wu opened the tent and came in with a medicine bowl, "What's wrong?" ”

"Don't make noise, the prince is dreaming." Xiao Yichen was awakened by a nightmare, sweating profusely, and his back was soaked, but the voice in his ears kept lingering, "I hate you......" Lin Qi's eyes revealed joy, "Lord Wang, you are awake." ”

"How long did I sleep?" Lu Xiuran's face was pale, and he frowned a little weakly.

"Soon, one day and one night." Ah Wu took the medicine bowl, Lin Qi helped Xiao Yichen sit up, took the medicine with one hand, frowned and drank it in two sips, "Lord Wang, I'll ask the military doctor to come over." ”

Then the military doctor arrived and took the pulse, "Lord Wang, there is no need to worry about his life, just wait for me to boil a pair of soothing medicine and take it, but it is inconvenient to travel long distances these days, and I still have to wait for a good life and recuperate." ”

"Hmm." Xiao Yichen nodded, and the military doctor retreated, "Lord Wang, then when will we go back to the city?" ”

"This time I have suffered a big defeat to the enemy, and I want to come to Hoi An for some time and return to the city in five days."

A small border town, Stone City

These hundreds of miles of places are different from other places, and now there are flowers blooming everywhere else, and this piece is dry, flat, and everywhere is paved with yellow and clear fine sand, and the grass and trees are thin, and the people here are all quarrying for a living, Lu Xiaoqi left a letter to his uncle and Han Luoying, saying that he would not go back to the capital with them, and he wanted to walk around alone and take a look.

"This dead girl, when she leaves, she can't even say it to her face." Su Zehan put away the letter, a little angry, Han Luoying was packing her bags, hearing that Su Zehan was angry when she saw the letter, knowing that he was worried about Lu Xiaoqi's safety, he was relieved: "Okay, it's not bad to walk alone, besides, she has some work on her now, and it's generally nothing serious." ”

"Hey, uncle, do we have any enemies to eat here?" It's really strange, this place is not big, it is not small, why is there not even a restaurant, Lu Xiaoqi looked for a long time, only to see some people set up stalls, but there was no restaurant hotel.

"Young man, at first glance, it's not our people here, we all make a living from quarrying, just us old people buy some gadgets to make a living, everyone else has gone into the mountains, every family basically eats on the mountain, doesn't opening a restaurant mean starving to death?" Listening to what the uncle said, too.

The stomach rumbled a few times, "Young man, you haven't eaten, or you can make do with it and go to my house to eat." "The uncle heard that he was hungry, and he was not a master without money.

"Is that good?" Lu Xiaoqi smiled a little embarrassedly, "It's okay, my son is as old as you, and he has been in the mountains for several months, and I am still lonely at home alone, and I am too late to be happy if someone accompanies me to eat." ”

Lu Xiaoqi didn't shirk either, after all, he was hungry, after all, he had no place to eat, so the uncle began to close the stall, "Uncle, I'll help you." The two of them took in all the knick-knacks from the stall.

"Driving the ......" into the city with the sound of horses' hooves, the leader, holding a big knife on his shoulder, with a murderous face, I'll go, isn't it, I met bandits just after entering the city, it's really fate, Lu Xiaoqi complained again and again in his heart.

The leader saw that the city was full of old, weak, sick and disabled, and rode in on horseback, but did not do anything cruel to the old people in the city, looked at the sparse people on the street, and fixed his eyes on Lu Xiaoqi, among these people, she was the most eye-catching.

And Lu Xiaoqi was also looking at them, dressed in military uniforms, just a small team, with blood on their bodies, it seemed that they were deserters.

The thief rode a big knife and put it on Lu Xiaoqi's neck, and the uncle next to him trembled for a while, staring at Lu Xiaoqi with a fierce expression, "Everyone listen, this city is now requisitioned, and you are not allowed to leave the city without my permission." ”

As soon as these words came out, the city gate was closed, "Boss, they are chasing after me now, what should I do?" The man at the head spat out and scolded, "Damn, so fast." ”

"Rest assured, there are people in this city, and they will not be able to break in easily." I understood, it meant to take them hostage, what should I do, I didn't have time to think about it, but I heard the man say again; "Gather them all together for me, and tie him up to the tower."

The man patted Lu Xiaoqi on the shoulder with a knife, "General, he is still a child, and you have spared him a lot." The uncle's old voice sounded, pleading for Lu Xiaoqi, it was just a one-sided relationship, the uncle didn't care about his own safety, he just begged the bandit to let him go, Lu Xiaoqi was moved, but he couldn't affect the uncle.

Lu Xiaoqi recommended himself, "General, the villain still has some fists and feet, you think it is better to keep me by your side, it must be of some use." ”

"Oh?!" The man looked at him, "Just your little arms and legs, you were kicked away with a kick, I use you?" The bandits laughed at him and shouted, "Someone has tied me up." ”

Sure enough, not everything can be done according to one's wishes, "Uncle, don't worry, I'm fine." The uncle was a little worried, but he didn't dare to step forward because of the knife.

Several people grabbed Lu Xiaoqi to the city tower, his face was covered with black cloth, and his hands were tied to a wooden pole, "Big brother, big brother, your leader let him tie up the city tower, not hang it on the city tower......"

"It's all mutton to be slaughtered, and that's all there is to say." Picked up a piece of cloth and stuffed it into Lu Xiaoqi's mouth, isn't it, Lu Xiaoqi rolled his eyes, this familiar taste.

Lu Xiaoqi grabbed the rope so that she was not strangled by her wrist, and the two of them hung her on the city tower, although her wrist didn't hurt so much, but her hand hurt.

"Driving...... The sound ......of horses' hooves came from outside the city, and the dust and sand were trampled by the horses' hooves.
