Chapter 71. dream
When his men came to knock on the door, it was still dawn, and the world was silent and gray.
Qi Rusong woke up from a natural dream, "What's the matter?" He asked.
"There's a visitor." The servant answered him.
He rubbed his eyes and got out of bed, opened the door, and found that the servant had prepared breakfast for himself. "Who's that?" He took out his coat from the closet and draped it over his body, "Let him wait!" ”
"My lazy apprentice, get up!" A familiar voice shouted, "Wake up yet, we have something important to discuss." ”
It's He Xiao! The prince of the eastern realm walked in a gorgeous silk with a smile.
The servant hurriedly walked to He Xiao.
"Why are you here?" Qi Rusong said, "Quick, please come in!" ”
"No, no, no!" He Xiao stepped forward and hugged him hard, then leaned into his ear and whispered, "There are too many idle people here, I'm afraid that the wall has ears." Besides, I want to go out for a walk and take you to experience the scenery of Middle-earth by the way. ”
"Can you get out?"
"You and I can't get rid of these miscellaneous fish?" He Xiao sneered.
Qi Rusong woke up suddenly, I thought things were too complicated, and simple and rude was the easiest way to deal with it.
So he smiled and followed He Xiao to the door.
The servants hurriedly summoned the royal guards, and more than a dozen guards of the Golden Armor Capital rushed to hear the news.
Walking to the door, the horses were ready, and He Xiao did not get on the horse, but glanced at Qi Rusong.
Qi Rusong naturally comprehended, condensed the aura, spit out the spirit sword, and stepped on the sword.
The royal guards left behind opened their mouths wide, anxious and panicked, but helpless. They don't have the strength of the [Sixth-Order Sword Venerable] to follow.
He Xiao had already flown out hundreds of meters with his sword, and Qi Rusong had no choice but to follow. He flew to He Xiao's side and asked a few words, but the wind blew away his words, and the son of the eastern realm did not hear it. After that, Qi Rusong stopped talking and only followed quietly.
They flew over Zhongzhou City for a long time, and at this time, they could no longer see the shadow of the royal guard, but He Xiao still did not slow down. It wasn't until they came to the East City of Zhongzhou City, when the morning dawn first appeared, that the prince of the Eastern Realm slowed down.
Qi Rusong followed He Xiao, only to see him smiling and radiant. "Damn," he cursed with a smile, "what a pleasure! I'm telling you, Rusong, these Imperial City Guards are going to drive people crazy. ”
Ever since he met this prince of the Eastern Realm, Qi Rusong has known that he is not a very patient person. "Every time I come to Zhongzhou City, it's like this... The next time those two princes come to my eastern border, I will send a thousand guards to surround him every day. It's not comfortable to ask him to go to the latrine. ”
"I'd love to be one of the guards."
"Well said!" He Xiao patted him on the shoulder, "I really want to fly out of Zhongzhou City and live freely like this." ”
A smile floated on the corner of Qi Rusong's mouth. "I'm sure you're serious."
"Of course, of course." He Xiao said, "Rusong, what do you think?" Just the two strong men fought with swords to break into the rivers and lakes, the soldiers came to block, and the water flooded. In the evening, I will find a Nizi or a gentle maid to help us warm up. ”
"It's good if that's the case," Qi Rusong said, "but He Xiao, now we have a responsibility... Not only for our people, but also for our families, I have my wife, you have your concubine, many things are predestined the moment we are born! ”
"What a Qi Rusong, still the same as before, able to speak!" He Xiao laughed, "Tell me, how did you defeat those four [Sword Venerable Powerhouses]?" ”
"Slash with a sword!" Qi Rusong laughed evilly.
"Ha, what is it bad for you kid to learn, you have to learn this!" He Xiao muttered, "Can't even I reveal it?" ”
"My Qi clan's ancestral sword, plus the secret technique left for me by my father, help me cultivate!"
"Oh? Your southern aura isn't passed down through inheritance? He Xiao said meaningfully, "Yes, this has been thousands of years in the past, and it has changed too much." Inheritance... Hum! He snorted coldly, "Now it is only my He family and the Great Xia Emperor Gu family who have obtained spiritual power through inheritance." ”
"Isn't it good? You don't have to do anything to get spiritual power. ”
"Rusong, you don't know what that means." He patted his head, "Forget it, it's hard to say." In Middle-earth, you'll meet another person who has gained the power of inheritance, and she'll tell you the answer. ”
The golden fingers of the rising sun poke into the hazy white mist of the early morning, and the bustling street market is just under your feet.
"Come, go down for a walk, relieve your boredom!"
The East Bazaar is a sprawling, square-shaped area surrounded by brick huts, wooden fences, and lime-coated pubs. In the middle of the square is a labyrinth of vendors and rugged aisles, covered by a canopy woven of linen.
When they arrived, hundreds of merchants were busy unloading their goods and setting up their stalls.
After a short time, it was already full of traffic and people.
Qi Rusong remembered that Su Yu liked to visit the market very much, and even after becoming a princess, she often soaked there all morning. The things, the sounds and smells of the market captivated her.
They walked through the bazaar, smelling the dizzyingly sweet smell of rouge gouache. I saw the laborers carrying heavy silk cloth and more than a dozen colors of high-quality fur.
Wearing steel helmets and spears, the guards of the capital roamed the aisles, their empty scabbards dangling from their belts. An armor master stands behind a vendor, displaying a steel cuirass carved with gold and silver, and a helmet shaped into a strange shape.
In the goldsmith shop behind his vendor, a beautiful young woman sells gold jewelry, including rings, brooches, bracelets and finely carved earrings.
"Are we going to go on and around here?" Qi Rusong asked him, "Just the two of us!" ”
"I'm here to get you down to business!" He Xiao told him. "I hope you brought enough money this time." Qi Rusong was puzzled, so He Xiao continued, "Come here to buy some gifts." ”
"Buying a gift? To whom! ”
"Naturally, he is a dignitary of Zhongzhou City." He Xiao said, "Based on past experience, we are going to live here for a while this time." These local snakes in Zhongzhou City naturally have to be dealt with. In the future, it will be more convenient to do things in Zhongzhou City. ”
"Stay for a while?" Qi Rusong was even more puzzled. "Didn't we just participate in the Five Kings Council?"
"Ha, you really don't understand anything!" The prince of the East Realm smiled, "You think I like to come to this hellish place? There are so many Nizi waiting for me to be pampered in the East, and I went crazy and ran to this ghost place to suffer? ”
He Xiao was also recruited by the Great Xia Emperor! Qi Rusong reacted, "Then what is Your Majesty's purpose!" ”
"Hah!" He Xiao laughed, "You are an unknown bastard, and all of a sudden it seems to have emerged from the ground. First of all, he made great achievements in the last demon disaster.
Then there was a whole [Swing Trial], killing four powerhouses at the level of [Sixth-Order Sword Venerable] and becoming the king of the Southern Realm. All of this can be recorded in the history books. And, there's one more thing... Your Majesty has to summon you here. ”
"What?"
"You and the second prince Gu Yang..."
The beheading of my brother... Qi Rusong reacted. "Your Majesty suspects me of forming a party with the second prince?"
"That's right, Your Majesty has enough reason to believe that there is some deal between you and the Second Prince." He Xiao sighed, "Rusong, to be honest, you should have killed your brother directly in the ring that time!" ”
"Humph!" Qi Rusong smiled, "You don't need to get involved in this power dispute to kill him in the ring??? ”
He Xiao touched his nose, "It's the same, you can't escape, you can't escape!" ”
"Then what about you, why did Your Majesty recruit you?"
"Spare me, do you have to tell me?" He Xiao said, "I should have been surnamed Zhou, not He!" ”
His mother's surname is He, the daughter of the He family in the East... Because of the inheritance of the power of the He family, the surname was changed to He! This means that when he came to Middle-earth City, maybe his mother He Lin was protecting him... Maybe it's the same as your own situation!
They continued to wander around the bazaar, and while the prince of the eastern realm carefully selected a dazzling array of goods, he introduced the preferences of the dignitaries of Zhongzhou City to Qi Rusong.
Lord Lin, who is in charge of the household department, likes antiques, Lord Yan, who is in charge of the criminal department, likes porcelain and famous tea, and Lord Admiral of the capital likes to collect some ancient swords and blades. The rest of the adults basically have the same hobbies, money and women.
He Xiao is naturally handy in dealing with these materialistic aristocrats, because he is also such a well-known playboy himself.
When he asked what he liked, Qi Rusong was speechless for a while.
Love to practice! Want to get stronger! The strong of the Great Xia Kingdom are respected!
After thinking about it for a long time, he replied, "Protecting my southern border and revitalizing my Qi clan is my dream, and it is very ordinary. ”
"It's not ordinary at all!! Rusong, you participated in the war with the demon clan at a young age... This is not a life experience and consciousness that ordinary people can have! ”
"I am a descendant of the five great families, and I am a demon hunter, this is an obligation."
"Didn't you just say it was a dream?"
"It's both...... I didn't think about it a lot and didn't have the time. ”
"Not bad, not bad!" He Xiao nodded again and again.
At this time, the royal guards, who were responsible for protecting them, finally found them with great difficulty.
Qi Rusong's face was suddenly gloomy, but He Xiao looked very happy. "Rusong, give them the gifts we bought." He said, turning to look at the royal guards, "If it is broken or lost, you can't afford to pay for it!" ”
Treat the royal guards as servants who carry things? That's amazing! Qi Rusong thought to himself.
The group of guards frowned, not to take it, not to take it.
We are royal guards, how can we do the trivial work of such slaves? This is going to get out, and the face is lost!
Seeing that they had not made a move, He Xiao said angrily, "What? Can't we call you? ”
"How dare you, how dare you!" The captain of the royal guard led by him hurriedly accompanied the smiling face.
It took half of the royal guards to reluctantly bring back the gifts they had bought, while the other half "protected" the two of them for a whole day in Middle-earth City.
The sun was sinking in the west, and He Xiao led Qi Rusong to a high-rise building with red lights and green wine and a pungent fragrance in the air.
This guy... Brought me here!
