The person who came was the commander of the guards of Xiliang City, Gongsun Sun and Yue.

His father is the commander of the Liangzhou soldiers and horses, Gongsun Zhan.

Gongsun Riyue is twenty and four years old, nearly eight feet tall, born with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, wearing bright silver soft armor, he entered the door and saluted with his fists: "My subordinate grandson Sun Riyue has seen the king." ”

After speaking, he nodded slightly at Shangguan Zimo on the left hand side of King Xiliang and said, "The little county lord is also dining with the king." ”

King Xiliang smiled and said: "Sun and moon, there are no outsiders here, don't be so polite, haven't you had breakfast?" ”

Gongsun Riyue arched his hand again and said: "Your Majesty, I received your order last night, so I searched the entire Xiliang City all night, but I didn't find any trace of the two monks, and my subordinates did not do well, so I asked the king to punish him." ”

After speaking, Gongsun Riyue knelt on one knee and bowed his head to salute.

King Xiliang laughed twice and said: "Get up quickly, this king's guess is also the result, it's not your responsibility, get up quickly, presumably you haven't had breakfast either." ”

As he spoke, he looked at the butler on the side and said, "Old Song!"

The housekeeper Lao Song understood and waved to the back, and a maid sent a pair of dishes and chopsticks over.

Gongsun Riyue was still kneeling on the ground, and Shangguan Zimo said: "Brother Gongsun, get up quickly, just let me introduce you to Brother Huo." ”

Gongsun Riyue got up and sat down next to Shangguan Zimo.

He didn't move his chopsticks, but looked at the two people opposite, one was a middle-aged man who looked extraordinary, just a little thin, presumably it was Brother Huo in the mouth of the county lord, and the other was a little bald head, who is this?

Shangguan Zimo called out sweetly: "Brother Huo, this is the person that Daddy Fang Cai said, Gongsun Riyue, the commander of the guards of Xiliang City. ”

Huo Qiji looked at Gongsun Riyue and nodded with a smile.

Gongsun Riyue returned the salute with a smile, looked at Shangguan Zimo and asked, "County Lord, I don't know which master this gentleman is?" ”

Shangguan Zimo said with a smile: "I was about to introduce you, this Brother Huo is the son of the National Teacher, the descendant of the Xuanyi Sect, the two bald ~ bald monks in the palace yesterday, who suddenly escaped, were beaten away by Brother Huo." ”

Gongsun Riyue got up and arched his hand and said: "My foot turned out to be the son of the national teacher, disrespectful and disrespectful!" ”

Huo Qiji nodded and said: "Contemptible Huo Qiji, the affairs of the palace are also my business, there is no need to thank you, Gongsun Gongzi is polite." ”

Seeing that he didn't get up, Gongsun Riyue didn't like it in his heart, and said in his heart that this person is so big, but the national teacher is from Yuzhou, how can the county lord be so familiar with him.

Shangguan Zimo continued on the side: "This cute little light on the other side~ah~ No, Xiao Yunqi is Brother Huo's new disciple. ”

After speaking, she looked at Xing Yunqi, who was almost full, with a smile and said, "Xiao Yunqi, this big brother is also a big official, you have to call Brother Shangguan." ”

Xing Yunqi raised his eyes and looked at the good-looking big brother opposite, straightened up, stood up, and called out obediently: "Brother Shangguan is good!"

Then he quietly asked Huo Qiji on the side: "Master, how old is Brother Shangguan's official?

Huo Qi laughed and said nothing, and the King of Xiliang on the side laughed, stroked his palm and said, "You little baby!"

After speaking, he looked at Huo Qiji and said: "Virtuous nephew, you have accepted an interesting disciple, this king likes it very much, or leave your little disciple in the palace, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty, I can't call the shots about this, otherwise he should cry again, if he is willing, I won't stop him, I'm afraid that the prince will lose face. ”

King Xiliang didn't care, and asked with a smile: "Little baby, how is it? Stay in the palace, and this king will accept you as a righteous grandson." ”

Huo Qi was startled, he thought that King Xiliang was joking, but he never thought that he would say such a thing.

As everyone knows, Gongsun Riyue, who was drinking milk tea on the side, was even more surprised in his heart, what is the origin of this child who looks like a little monk?

When the little bald head greeted him, he nodded slightly with a smile on the face of the county lord, a disciple of the son of a national teacher, it is not worth looking at him differently.

In addition, what does this kid mean by calling himself Brother Shangguan? Didn't the county lord make himself a younger generation than the one surnamed Huo in this arrangement?

As soon as he entered the door, he noticed that there was something wrong with the way the county lord looked at the man.

But why did the king say this?

After thinking about it, the little bald head had already answered.

I saw Xing Yunqi holding Huo Qiji's arm, raising his head and saying, "I don't!"

King Xiliang, who was really embarrassed, laughed, looked at Huo Qiji and said, "Okay, good, the virtuous nephew really accepted a good disciple." ”

Shangguan Zimo on the side looked at King Xiliang and said: "Daddy, I'm not happy when you are like this, people are obviously sisters, and when you say this, I am called old." ”

Huo Qiji looked at King Xiliang and said: "Your Majesty, my little disciple is still young, and he doesn't understand the weight of your words, so he is disrespectful, and I hope the king will forgive him for being unreasonable." ”

King Xiliang waved his hand and said: "This king is not as particular as a scholar, seeing that he is so interesting, he thought about it a little, and has no other meaning, speaking of which, as your disciple, I am afraid that it is better than being my righteous grandson." Blessed is this little baby!"

Huo Qiji bowed his head slightly and said, "The king is serious!"

His hand moved slightly, and he gently hugged the little disciple who was standing beside him and clutching his sleeve tightly.

King Xiliang looked at Shangguan Zimo and smiled: "What's the matter? You still want this little baby to call you sister, so why do you still call his master a big brother?"

Shangguan Zimo thought about it, his face was a little red, his mouth pouted slightly, and he snorted lightly.

Gongsun Riyue, who was sitting on her side, finished drinking the milk tea in the bowl, put down the big bowl in his hand, tilted his head slightly, and just saw Shangguan Zimo's side face.

The world is full of flowers in June, and the peach blossoms on Mo are blooming.

This little lord of the palace, he likes it very much.

King Xiliang glanced at Gongsun Riyue, he knew very well the thoughts of this old man's youngest son, but he had asked his youngest daughter many times, but the youngest daughter only regarded him as a brother.

King Xiliang didn't want his youngest daughter to be wronged, and he didn't want to make it difficult for the Shuai Mansion, so the matter was stopped.

It's just that the youngest daughter has reached the age of leaving the cabinet, and the grandson Riyue is also waiting hard, and they, who are elders, are also worried about the two children.

With the appearance of Huo Qiji, King Xiliang, who was a passerover, saw his daughter's thoughts.

In the end, it is her own daughter, follow herself, and have a good vision.

Although Huo Qiji is more than ten years older than Shangguan Zimo, in the eyes of King Xiliang, this is nothing at all, and Shangguan Zimo's mother is also more than thirty years old.

Coughing lightly, King Xiliang said: "Sun and Yue, when Fang was just talking about you, you came, this king has given you an important task, after you go back, order two hundred iron horsemen to stand by, ready to escort the county lord to Shikun City." ”

Hearing King Xiliang's cough, Gongsun Riyue came back to his senses and bowed his head slightly.

After King Xiliang finished speaking, Gongsun Riyue got up and saluted: "The last general will take the order, the king, the last general will go back and make arrangements as soon as possible." ”

King Xiliang nodded and said, "Okay, in addition, Huo Xian's nephew will also go to Shikun City with you, during this period, all arrangements will be made according to Huo Xian's nephew's orders, can you hear clearly?"

Gongsun Riyue was stunned for a moment, and then saluted and said: "The last general obeys the order, the king, the last general will retire." ”

King Xiliang waved his hand and said, "Well, you go!"

Gongsun Riyue, who turned to leave, glanced at the man.

He felt that all these years of waiting might turn into waiting in vain, and he was not convinced.

After Gongsun Riyue left, King Xiliang looked at Huo Qiji and asked, "Virtuous nephew, what do you think?"

Huo Qiji smiled and said: "The king recommended this person, there must be something extraordinary, I can trust it." ”

King Xiliang glared and said, "To tell the truth, if you still say these polite words to this king, it will be too foreign, right?

Seeing that Daddy suddenly asked himself, Shangguan Zimo, who was secretly looking at Brother Huo, let out an "ah", glared at King Xiliang and said, "Daddy, you!"

King Xiliang stroked his beard with his big hand and laughed twice.

Huo Qiji looked at the father and daughter, thinking of the little general in silver soft armor just now, and when the henchman of the King of Xiliang turned around and left, there was some hostility in his eyes, which made him very puzzled.

After pondering for a while, he opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, this person can be the commander of the guards of Xiliang City, he must be a trustworthy person of the king, in addition, if he has no real ability, presumably the king will not hand over his safety to this person, I look at his face, with a righteous face, this trip is accompanied by him, it must be foolproof, but the king is here, will it?"

King Xiliang smiled: "You can rest assured, the old man has been fighting horses all his life, in his own palace, what else can go wrong?"

Shangguan Zimo pursed his lips when he heard this.

At this time, Xing Yunqi gently tugged Huo Qiji's arm and asked, "Master, Master, I seem to understand, was it the master of Shikong Gate who fought with you last night?"

King Xiliang was speechless for a while, why did this little bald head suddenly mention this stubble.

Shangguan Zimo covered his mouth and snickered.

Huo Qiji nodded lightly and said to him: "In this world, there are good people and bad people everywhere, there are good people in your heart, and there are bad people in Master's heart. ”

Xing Yunqi said in a low voice, "I know, Master!"

Then he muttered in a low voice: "Then, do you need so many people to go over and reason together?"

Xing Yunqi remembered that when he was a child, the pranky and bullies in Zhuangzi were several people together, bullying one person, but they were not reasonable.

He remembered that a bully said to his father viciously, "Uncle, what I said is reason."

He didn't want Master to be like that.

He looked up at the master, lightly knocked on his little bald head, and scolded himself in his heart, he was really stupid, the master was like this, like this, so good, how could he think about the bully.

Huo Qiji heard Xiao Yunqi's whisper, and looked sideways at his little disciple, only to find that he knocked on his little bald head, still giggling there.

King Xiliang is still on the side, and the disciple's words will be explained to him later.

It's just that unexpectedly, King Xiliang said on the side: "Little baby, don't you know, sometimes, you really need a lot of people to reason together, because there are more people, the greater the strength, and when you are reasonable, you will have confidence." Although this matter is not absolute, whether it is our current Dajin Dynasty or the previous dynasty, it is like this, first than whose fist is bigger, and finally the fist is bigger, and the rules are reasonable, set the rules, and settle the world. ”

Huo Qiji looked at King Xiliang and said, "Your Majesty, he is still young. ”

King Xiliang got up and waved his hand and said, "That's it, that's it, the old man just felt it, what he said may not be right, but it may not be wrong." Virtuous nephew, those two eminent monks have now left, today I will discuss with my old fellow Gongsun Zhan, what should happen to Gaoyang City, and will Tubo also give them a fist to taste? When are you going to leave?"

Huo Qiji also stood up, hugged Xing Yunqi who was standing beside him and said, "Your Majesty, without further ado, if there is no problem here in Momo, I want to leave today." ”

After a pause, he continued: "Gaoyang City can send the people of Tubo back, which can be regarded as a warning to the king of Tubo, as for Bazhou, the king can repair a letter with the king of Shu to test his meaning." ”

King Xiliang glanced at Huo Qiji, nodded and said, "If you stayed in my Liangzhou more than ten years ago, this king may not have the heart to fight for the world." ”

Huo Qi smiled and said, "If the king has a heart, it's not too late now. ”

King Xiliang shook his head and left.

Huo Qiji understood what King Xiliang meant.

Shangguan Zimo said: "Brother Huo, I'll go back and clean up now, and your medicine, I'll arrange someone to prepare it, and I still have to continue drinking it on the way." ”

Huo Qiji nodded with a smile and said, "That's tired!"

Shangguan Zimo smiled sweetly and said, "Brother Huo is so polite, I will call you uncle, isn't it?"

Xing Yunqi looked at Guan Zimo with a smile on his face, and said with his fingers: "Although I haven't read much, I know a saying, it is called a teacher for one day and a father for life, then my master is my father's generation, fairy sister, if you let me call you sister, then you are the same as me, so, according to the saying in our hometown, fairy daughter sister, you should indeed call the master uncle." ”

Looking at the little bald head who was seriously breaking his fingers, Shangguan Zimo chuckled: "Uncle Huo, hehe, Xiaoyunqi, you're right!"

Xing Yunqi frowned and thought for a while, patted his little bald head again, and muttered there: "Oops, oops, no, no, no, it is Xiao Yunqi who should be scolded, it is me who is wrong, God is the elder of the master, and the father of the county lord, the county lord calls the master the eldest brother, it is the little cloud flag who is wrong, according to the name of the hometown, I should call the county lord aunt." ”

After speaking, he looked at Shangguan Zimo, grinned, and shouted, "Auntie is good!"

Shangguan Zimo glared at Xing Yunqi, didn't speak, and ran away with his cheeks puffed out.

After running a few steps and laughing out loud, she didn't look back and walked away quickly.

Xing Yunqi didn't know what was going on, he looked at Master blankly, and asked in a low voice, "Master, did I say the wrong thing again?"

Huo Qiji hugged the back of his bare head, left the table, and said as he walked: "No, what our Xiaoyunqi said is the most right. ”

Xing Yunqi pouted and said, "Master, you are making fun of me again, Master, then you go to Shikong Gate to reason, can you take me with you?"

Huo Qiji said: "Okay!"

Xing Yunqi asked again: "Master, what is the fist that the king of God is talking about? Who would have such a big fist?"

Huo Qiji looked at the little disciple and said softly: "It's like we have five fingers, clenched together is a fist. The king of God in your mouth is the king of our Liangzhou, you say that he is God, in a sense, this statement is also very correct, then in our Liangzhou, he has a fist that is the biggest, which is called power. Child, you don't have to think so much now, with Master here, no matter how big a fist is, it won't fall on you. ”

Xing Yunqi grinned and said, "Master, I understand this sentence!"

Huo Qi smiled and said, "Let's go!"

After noon, the commander of the guards of Xiliang City led two hundred iron horsemen to leave Xiliang City.

With him, there was also a carriage.

Gongsun Riyue couldn't understand that he was a dignified man, he didn't even ride a horse, and he shared a carriage with the county lord, if it wasn't for the county lord's lack of objection, he would have taken him down a long time ago.

It's just that he didn't know that Huo Qiji, who was sitting in the carriage, also wanted to find a horse to ride on him.

In this daylight, the sun is really round!

——————————————

Kan Huazi still went to Remnant Flower Lane.

Remnant Flower Lane is not a green building, but it is indeed a place of wind and moon.

There is no 100-day red flower, and there are always new people replacing the old.

When people are old, those dusty women who make a living by selling meat can't retire in a prostitution house after all.

If you want to find an honest man to marry, but you can paste the money you have saved hard as a dowry, and few people are willing to be this honest man.

Someone bought a small yard and continued to do their old business.

Gradually, a small alley became filled with these women who were no longer like flowers.

Hence the name Remnant Flower Lane.

Unexpectedly, the business here is surprisingly good.

Although there is not as much money as before each time, there are more and more men who like to sneak over and steal fish.

Kan Huazi didn't go empty-handed, and carried his bamboo box on his back, but he didn't return the guest room of the Tongfu Inn.

He came for painting, but also for insight.

In one day, he patronized four small courtyards.

When he left the Remnant Flower Alley, he nodded with satisfaction, worthy of the old girls who have been in a hundred battles, they will learn a lot, and they have really learned a lot.

Carrying the bamboo box on his back, he returned to the inn.

When there are no guests, the old girls in Remnant Flower Lane get together to eat melon seeds and chat about idle days.

Chatting and chatting, I talked about a strange guest, who entered the courtyard for an hour, did nothing, but painted there, and asked the old lady to pose in various poses, if it were not for the sake of the silver, the old lady would have ridden on his body and let him be caught.

The other one also said, but it's not, he left you and turned around and came to me, I thought he was done with you, and he didn't do anything about feelings.

The other two also said that he was really a weirdo, and he came to us like this, maybe he had a problem and couldn't act, so he wanted to have some fun with this method.

It's a pity that the guest didn't show us what he had drawn.

A few people lost interest in this guest when they said it, and turned their heads and talked about which guest was really good, and the old lady almost took off again.

Kan Huazi entered his upper room and asked the man to fetch some water, and he poured himself a sip of warm tea to quench his thirst.

After the man brought the water, he closed the door and left with a puzzled face, it was the first time he saw a guest in the upper room to fetch cold water.

However, this guest's face was very dark.

Kan Huazi splashed his face a few times with his hands, and buried his head in the basin, feeling the coolness.

After a few strokes, he picked up a towel and wiped his face.

If the man saw him at this time, he would have found that the basin of cold water he had brought had the effect of whitening, and the face of the guest, who was very dark, had turned a little paler.

Walking to the bookcase, Kan Huazi, whose heart had completely calmed down, took out a few small rolls of paper in the bookcase.

He cut the paper, after all, this kind of painting is not suitable for painting on large sheets of paper.

It's good-looking, but it's not good to show it to others.

With Kan Huazi's painting skills, the woman in the painting is more than 20 years younger than the woman in the Remnant Flower Alley, and if they see it, they will exclaim, isn't this the self when they were young.

Kan Huazi is very satisfied with his paintings, and it should be good to give this to Kang Xianniang as a gift.

Thinking of Kang Xianniang, Kan Huazi smiled slightly, all are half-old, and they actually ate An Yunge's kid to their mouths, and they are also quite capable.

An Yunge, this kid, is really good-looking, has a good voice, and has a good piano, otherwise he would not have been sent to this elegant hall to be the top brand before.

Fortunately, it's the top brand, and it's still in the elegant hall, otherwise it's really easy to go wrong.

An Yunge is the disciple of the scholar, but unfortunately the scholar likes to pick flowers, and he didn't care much about this disciple.

However, An Yunge's stunt of stroking the piano was passed down by Ning Shusheng himself.

An Yunge has liked women's clothes since he was a child, he originally learned to sing with a male singer, but he was brought back by a scholar out of nowhere to teach him to play the piano.

The scholar didn't know where he had gone, he changed to An Yunge, and his surname was still Liu.

Kang Zhuniang and Liu Piaopiao went out of the same house, but Liu Piaopiao was a young lady, but Kang Zhuniang fell into the identity of a maid.

Kang Xianniang was not convinced and had no choice, after all, it was because she was not born to learn art and could not inherit the mantle of the master.

Kan Huazi thought that when she first met Kang and picked up her mother, she was also a lovely girl.

The years are like knives, and the girl has become an old bustard.

Kan Huazi put away the glamorous pictures in his hand, picked up the two paintings he had drawn when he entered the inn, and admired them, it seems that this plan has to be done by himself.

Before that, though, he had more important things to do.

Draw!

————————————

The moon hangs in the sky, and the stars are clear.

Beside the bonfire, Yuan Xi and Zhang Zhongqian were looking at the sheepskin map.

Zhang Zhongqian said worriedly: "Yuan Shaoxia, we have already left the boundary of Wuling City, and if we go forward fifty miles, we should be within the sphere of influence of the Black Wind Ridge, according to our marching speed, we will not be able to reach the next town at all tomorrow night, and we will have to walk for at least three days." ”

Yuan Xi looked around and said to Zhang Zhongqian: "Zhang Gongzi, no matter how worried it is, it is useless, starting tomorrow, I will tell the group not to leave the weapons in their hands, and tell everyone not to be afraid of the heat, and wear the rattan armor prepared before on the body, in case the other party shoots us with a bow and arrow first." ”

This rattan armor is actually made of rattan, the Zhang family is doing cloth trading, this rattan armor is still invented by their Zhang family, but the army thinks that this rattan armor is inconvenient to wear and has little practicability, so they did not use the Zhang family's lower cost armor.

The Zhang family didn't make any money, so these armors were kept for their own families, just in case.

Now I'm afraid this will become one by one.

Yuan Xi continued: "When I came, I observed the terrain of the Black Wind Ridge, there is a section of the road that is probably the easiest place for the other party to ambush, one side is the mountain, there is a dense forest in the mountain, when passing through here, we must pass on the other side of the carriage, and remember to put some armor on the horses, otherwise the horses will be shot to death, and our goods will not be able to take away." ”

Zhang Zhongqian nodded and said: "I have prepared this, it is a special cowhide, very hard, ordinary bows and arrows can't be pierced, and ordinary swords can't be broken with a few cuts." ”

Yuan Xi nodded and said, "That's very good!"

Zhang Zhongqian and Yuan Xi discussed again and went to rest, and in the second half of the night, the two of them took turns to keep vigil.

Yuan Xi lay on the ground, but did not close his eyes, looking at the sky.

A large dark cloud drifted in, and the moon was obscured!
