"Alright, get up. Let those who have a sense of justice see it, and say that a certain family bullies a little girl, and it is not good to come in and beat a certain family. Jiang Qi put away his cold face, returned to the peaceful appearance just now, and said softly.

"Master、、、、" Xiu'er couldn't believe her ears, just now she obviously heard the unhappiness in Jiang Qi's tone, how could she agree so quickly, and couldn't help but raise her head in excitement and looked at Jiang Qi with an expectant face.

Although Jiang Qi had some determination in his heart, he still smiled at Xiu'er, knocked on the table and said, "Eat these things quickly, and you will have to go on the road later." ”

"Xie, thank you, master 、、、、" got a clear answer, Xiu'er quickly wiped her moist eyes, got up, timidly picked up the cold white porridge on the table, and ate it slowly.

A bowl of hot porridge under Xiu'er was moved to cry again, this was the first hot meal she had eaten in three days, although she tried her best to control her emotions, but the tears still couldn't stop flowing.

Seeing this, Jiang Qi couldn't help sighing, in this chaotic world, I don't know how many girls like Xiu'er have left their hometowns and slept in the open, today she was lucky to meet herself, and she was not insulted by the ruffians, but others. Thinking about it, Jiang Qi couldn't help but scold the damned barbarian and mediocre court in his heart.

"Okay, stop, don't eat too much at once, be careful of hurting your stomach." Jiang Qi reminded Xiu'er by pulling away the food box after Xiu'er ate the second white film.

"Master, Xiu'er, Xiu'er shouldn't be 、、、", Xiu'er saw Jiang Qi open the food box, and hurriedly knelt down to confess in a panic, she was also too hungry and didn't control her mouth for a while.

"Get up, don't kneel at every turn, and don't call me master, you are not a slave of a certain family, call me a son or a young master." You definitely haven't eaten well these days, and now you can't eat too much at a time, otherwise you will hurt yourself, and you will be fine after a few days of recuperation. ”

"Lord, son, except for father and mother, no one has treated Xiu'er like a son." Xiu'er was flattered by Jiang Qi's concern, and after changing her name for Jiang Qi, her eyes couldn't help but moisten as she spoke.

Faced with Xiu'er's touch, Jiang Qi didn't want to say anything, after all, they were destined to be just passers-by today, looking at the stubborn little girl, she asked carefully: "Okay, now I can talk about why you are here?" ”

"Yes, Gongzi、、、 Xiu'er's surname is Ren Hongchang, Xiu'er is the milk name of the slave, Xiu'er's family lives in a village twenty miles outside the city of Shangjun Fushi, his father is a private school in the village, his mother died when he was seriously ill when he gave birth to Xiu'er, Xiu'er has been dependent on her father since she was a child, although her life is hard, but her father is also happy."

"I didn't think that the Hu people had been invading the border passes over the years, and it was okay before, but I didn't dare to be too presumptuous because of the Han border army, but as soon as the Taiping Road appeared this year, General Dong Zhuo was ordered to quell the chaos, and as soon as the state soldiers left, these brutal Hu people raised their butcher knives. There is no way to live, the father and elder in the township fled all the way out, and the entanglement in the family was quickly exhausted, the weather is getting colder and colder these days, and the father was sick half a month ago and couldn't find Lang Zhong、、、、、、"

Xiu'er slowly revealed her life story after sorting out her thoughts, and as she narrated, she seemed to return to her dilapidated village, where she saw her father, who had just passed away, and her mother, who didn't know what she looked like. Slowly, Xiu'er's voice also became stalked、、、、、

As an audience, Jiang Qi's mood also fluctuated a lot, and the fluctuations at this time also made Jiang Qi not even notice that a person who came to buy dry food outside the store did not take anything after giving the money and leaving, and was reminded by the shopkeeper that he did not look back.

、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、

"Do you see clearly!!" Behind a hill five miles away from the official road, there are more than a dozen horses parked at this moment, and six young men in strong clothes and dusty faces are sitting around the horses.

Although they look ordinary, they all emit a special aura on their bodies, a kind of intimidating aura. Right now, one of them was reporting to someone who looked like the leader of the group.

After listening to the report, the leader, who was still full of sadness just now, suddenly showed an excited look on his face.

If the shopkeeper of the small shop was here just now, he would definitely recognize the person who reported the situation as the young man who had just put down money and didn't want anything in his shop.

"The subordinates don't dare to deceive, they can see it clearly, they are indeed young masters, and it is impossible for them to admit their mistakes. But the young master now has more people around him. ”

"Good! Old five, you have made meritorious service, it seems that the young master has been promoted in vain, and when you return to Luoyang, you will personally go to Chen's place to ask for merit for you. The leader laughed and patted the person on the shoulder.

Then he turned around and gave an order: "The eighth messenger ordered the nearby sword guards to approach immediately, and there must be no mistake!" Forty-two led the horse to the rear, and the rest of the people followed me to protect the lord in secret, and the fifth led the way! ”

"No", "No", 、、、、 heard the commander's order, and everyone immediately took the order and scattered. These people are none other than the Sword Guard who is looking for Jiang Qi everywhere, and the leader is none other than Uncle Jiang Ren, the leader of the Sword Guard.

As for the sword guard who discovered Jiang Qi's whereabouts, it is also a coincidence, he is Jiang Xiaochen, who has just succeeded Jiang Yiming and became the deputy commander, and the sword code name is five.

In order to find Jiang Qi, Jiang Jiajun sent all the elites of the Sword Guard and their two hundred Qilin Guards this time, looking around in the east of the river in the light and in the dark. Finally, their lord Jiang Qi appeared in this Anyi after disappearing for almost half a month.

"Lord, Childe, are you going to enter the city?"

Xiu'er stood on the suspension bridge of the moat outside Anyi City, looked up at the tall gatehouse and said, and pulled the somewhat sagging package on her back after speaking.

Jiang Qi looked back at this stubborn girl, didn't know how to get rid of it, shook his head and said: "Wrap it up for me, I haven't changed my clothes for some days, I smell of alcohol, go into the city and change my clothes." ”

Of course, although Jiang Qi wanted to change his clothes, he didn't have to go back to the city, and there was not a set of military robes in the package, but in order to arrange the stubborn girl, he had to go to the city and find a way.

Xiu'er saw that it was not easy to grab the backpack work, she didn't want to let it out like this, although she knew that Jiang Qi was for her good, but she also wanted to do something to repay Jiang Qi's kindness to him, and now seeing Jiang Qi's outstretched hand, Xiu'er quickly dodged with a short body.

In order to prevent Jiang Qi from snatching again, she hurriedly ran towards the city gate, pretending to be relaxed and turned back and said, "Oh, let's go, son, Xiu'er can carry the burden 、、、."

Seeing Xiu'er running away, Jiang Qi had no choice but to smile, and he no longer forced it, anyway, except for a few five-baht coins and a piece of arrow, there was nothing too heavy in it. Watching Xiu'er walk away, Jiang Qi also quickly quickened his pace to meet him.

Anyi City, as the county of Hedong and close to Luoyang, although all parts of the country were affected after the Taiping Road rebellion, but Anyi didn't see much, except for the occasional squad of soldiers with helmets and armor passing by, the rest was almost normal.

The streets are also lined with shops, customers are like clouds, of course, the price of goods has risen slightly, the most victorious is the grain and rice shop, those who have hoarded a lot of grain, this time it is considered to be a lot of money.

"What does this guest official choose, although the clothes in the contemptible shop are not as good as those in Luoyang and Chang'an, they are second to none in this Anyi and even Hedong."

As Jiang Qi walked into a ready-to-wear store, the shopkeeper hurriedly greeted him enthusiastically, although Jiang Qi was full of dust at the moment, but how could he escape the eyes of the store with a 'expensive' atmosphere. It's just that when he saw Xiu'er, who was dressed like a beggar behind him and had a surprised face, he frowned a little.

Jiang Qi touched the fabric of a piece of clothing close to him and looked at the stitches, and said with some disdain: "The store still dares to compare with the shops in Luoyang and Chang'an on this material, is the store bullying me, a foreigner." ”

Seeing that Jiang Qi recognized the inferior materials of the furnishings at a glance, the shopkeeper's eyes lit up and hurriedly said: "The guest officer is an expert, there are robes made of Shu brocade by embroiderers in this small room upstairs, the guest officer wants to take a look, and there is also a fox fur from Liaodong, is it good?" ”

"No need, just pick two of these ready-to-wear clothes according to the shape of my two people, the color should be darker, and I'm still busy on the road." Jiang Qi waved his hand and refused the shopkeeper's kindness, after all, this rush came and went in the wind and rain, and no matter how good the clothes were, they couldn't wear them for two days.

Besides, Jiang Qi is not too picky in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, if you want to talk about expensive clothes, there are more than ten boxes made by her mother at home who have not been worn at all, and those clothes are not worth more than ten or twenty yuan and five baht.

"Well, the guest officer will come with me、、、、、" Although Jiang Qi didn't go to see the high-end goods in those stores, he saw that the other party still had to buy two pieces, and the shopkeeper also greeted him with great enthusiasm and went to the back room to try it out.

"By the way, I want men's clothes, the best suits, and two more headbands." Jiang Qi continued as he walked.

"Okay, the contemptible man will command it immediately." The shopkeeper looked back at the girl who looked like a beggar and nodded in agreement, it is very common for girls to disguise themselves as men in these chaotic days, so there are still small men's clothes specially prepared for this woman in this store, as long as he gives money, he doesn't care what this disguise is for.

Just as Jiang Qi was trying to change clothes, a middle-aged man in a crimson official robe and a sword at his waist and crotch looked at the ready-to-wear store not far in front of him, and then asked the villainous man with a pitiful face and a hand hanging next to him: "Are you sure it's here!" ”

Judging from the yellow ribbon on the waist of the man in official clothes, he is a court official with a rank of 200 stones, but what is puzzling is that he is followed not only by officials with soapy clothes, but also by some ruffians who look like hangers with sticks.

Hearing the inquiry, the man who pretended to be pitiful on the side pointed to the attendant who nodded and confirmed it: "Yafu is indeed here, just now Ergou watched the two people who injured the child go in, and it is half an hour less than the time." ”

This poor man is naturally none other than Luo Erhu, who suffered a loss outside the city and was ready to take his godfather back to the field.

It's just that Luo Erhu now has no arrogance when he saw the people outside the city, and he doesn't have the dead dog appearance when he saw Jiang Qi. With a different face at the moment, he is more like a turtle grandson in front of his 'big official' godfather, maybe Jiang Qi may not recognize who he is when he comes out at this moment.

"Don't worry, my son, my father will definitely make the decision for you today, let the people in Anyi City see today, what will happen if you offend me Dong Taisui, hahaha!" The man in the official clothes straightened his chest, held the sword in his hand, stared at the sky and said with a smile.

After laughing, the man who claimed to be Mrs. Dong didn't forget to pat his godson's shoulder, but this shot hit Luo Erhu's injured hand, which made Luo Erhu grin in pain. But he gritted his teeth and stoiced not daring to scream, and he had to smile gratefully.

But the pain caused by the pain was so hard that his tears couldn't stop flowing down.

Seeing the appearance of his godson's 'tears in his eyes', Dong Taisui was very useful, Dong Taisui's real name is Dong Qiang, he is a native of Anyi, and he was given the official position of the governor of the north of Anyi by his father, responsible for the security of the north of Anyi, and is also in charge of the announcement of the fatwa and the arrest of the prisoner.

But Dong Qiang, who was supposed to benefit one party, has always done the opposite of the duties of a court official, and he has used his power over the years to do a lot of things as a traitor, and there are not ten people who died in his hands.

Especially two years ago, after recognizing Luo Erhu, who was more than ten years younger than him, as his godson, he was even more powerful, and soon won the 'good name' of Dong Taisui. This resounding 'good name' made him know the family who had just come to Hedong to be the county guard, Dong Zhuo and Dong Taishou.

In this way, Dong Qiang was even more unscrupulous and more rampant, as if he had become the emperor of Hedong.

Today, when I was watching the newly recruited singer dance a sultry song and dance in the house, I suddenly saw the always obedient godson covered in blood and crying about the encounter, and claimed that the other party was a spy from Taiping Road.

Seeing this, Dong Qiang was naturally furious, and prepared to go out of the city to arrest people with the government officials. But he didn't expect the other party to be so bold, beat his Dong Taisui's godson, and dared to swagger into the city, it was just unbearable.

Looking back at his subordinates who were ready to go, Dong Qiang sneered, and then waved his big hand in high spirits, and more than a dozen of his subordinates in soapy clothes plus seven or eight ruffians quietly ambushed on both sides of the ready-to-wear store, one by one, they could be described as sharpening their knives, just waiting for the other party to throw themselves into the net.
