Qi took the flask and said, "I also salute Fubo and Dongbo." "Be the first to pour a full glass for Rifle. Laifu hurriedly stood up, although he was old, he was a servant after all, and he didn't dare to mess with the order of respect and humility.

Qi put his other hand on Laifu's shoulder: "Fu Bo, sit down." Then he poured it for Erdong. Erdong followed and stood up. Qi stretched out his hand, also pressed on his shoulder, and secretly used twenty percent of his strength, with his current strength, two percent of the strength, even a piece of iron nail, can also be pressed into the stone, the old body of the ear, how to bear it, his knees were weak, and he fell to the ground.

Qi felt guilty and regretful, and hurriedly helped him up and said, "Dongbo, are you okay?" Erdong shook his head, pointed to the wine glass, and then pointed to his head, meaning that he was not strong enough to drink.

Laifu grinned and said: "Haha, Lao Dong, you also have a high ......" The word "wait" is not finished, and he planted his head on the table and snored. He laughed a few times, and fell drunk on the table.

Qi called the house and helped the two of them down to rest. Suddenly, Allure was surprised and said, "Eh, where is Old Man Xie?" He subconsciously looked over, only to see that there were two vacant seats on the seat, Xie Boqin and Xie Yunju, the master and apprentice, had disappeared.

Allure groaned, "This thing is weird. Qi thought to himself, the masked man who rescued himself on the wall of the palace, under the face towel lifted by the wind, the flash of blue light, it seemed that he was also wearing a bronze mask, splitting two palms in the crowd, subduing the murderer, but not hurting others, the skill is only afraid that it has been perfected, and the person who roared on Vermilion Bird Street is likely to be the same person.

But if this person is Erdong, he has been on an errand in the house since he can remember, although he can't speak, he can be diligent and loyal, and he will look at it all. If Erdong has a bad heart, with his martial arts, it is certainly not difficult to wash the Daiwang Mansion in blood, but as for harming his parents and himself, it has been even easier in the past 20 years.

Qi Bai was puzzled and said, "It's very strange." Allure said: "You can also see it? When it comes to diagnosing Old Man Xie's feet, people are secretive, but they are afraid that he has gout and has another secret." ”

Only then did Qi know that other people's eccentricity meant Xie Boqin, and secretly screamed in his heart. It is a great disrespect to be suspicious of an old man who has been on an errand in the palace for decades, and it is simply a sin to openly doubt it.

Qi Shun said: "What's weird, when you're done, go to Master Xie's place and take a look." Allure nodded, pressed the doubt in his heart, and said, "Then you are busy first, and I will go back to accompany my aunt first." "I'm done. (Note: Aunt refers to in-laws.) ）

Qi went out after toasting, met Xu Chang in the return, and asked: "Where did Brother Xu go, I didn't see you at the banquet?" Xu Chang said: "Today, the two corpses at the door are unlucky, and I will move to another place to deal with them." ”

Qi said apologetically: "I'm tired of Brother Xu, I didn't even catch up with the banquet for what you did." Xu Chang said unhappily: "If you have something to do as a brother, you should run errands, but you don't see what you say?"

Qi hurriedly said: "I have never treated Brother Xu as an outsider. Xu Chang turned his anger into joy, put his arm around his shoulder, and said, "That's right." I've taken care of the body, so you don't have to worry. I think you might have followed the clues, and deliberately stripped them of the search, and there were no tokens, except for a strange tattoo on your chest. He took out a cloth bag from his bosom.

Qi took it and untied it, and there was a piece of human skin wrapped in it. Xu Chang said: "I wanted to rub it down, but I didn't bring paper and pencils, so I could only cut off the skin, and the two people had the same pattern, so I cut a piece." ”

Qi looked at it, only to see a big dirty river tattooed on it, there was an attic floating on it, the heavy eaves three drops of water type four corners of the spire, there were six layers, the knife work was expressive, it seemed lifelike.

Qi asked: "What do you think of Brother Xu?" Xu Chang muttered: "As far as the tattoos I have seen, they are generally mostly animals, and there are not a few people and flowers, like this pattern, I haven't seen it, I haven't heard of it, it should be the architectural symbol of some Jianghu gangs, but there are not a few such attics, and it is not a feature of a certain place." ”

Qi Dao: "Let's go to dinner first, this will be on the rivers and lakes later, and then it's not too late to find someone to inquire." "Fold the cloth bag and put it in your bosom.

Xu Chang said: "You are very happy today, you can eat less food, and you can't drink less wine." Qi touched his stomach and said with a bitter face: "Brother Xu, you will spare me, I have palpitations when I see the wine now." ”

Xu Chang laughed and said, "Do you want to stay sober and have a good cave room candle?" Qi blushed. Xu Chang said: "Reading in the cave room tonight, I will let you go, this is the taste, you can't appreciate it when you are drunk." ”

The two walked for a while, and a mansion came over, but it was the master of the horse who asked Qi to go to see off the guests. Xu Chang said: "I'll find a place to eat by myself, you go first." "Turn around and walk away.

Qi went to the door with the housekeeper, and his father was sending off the guests. He stayed by the side and saw off the guests. Qi Jiye sighed and said, "Wait for dinner, go to your grandparents' mausoleum in the afternoon to pay respects, they have old knowledge, and they will be very happy to come." ”

Qi Dao: "The road in Zhongnan Mountain is rugged, father, you rest at home, and the child can go." ”

Qi Jiye thought in his heart that his future was uncertain on this expedition, and he might be the last time to return to his parents' mausoleum to worship, how could he not go. It's just that today is the son's wedding, and there is a lot of bad luck in coming, but he shook his head, not much.

Qi saw that his father was resolute, and he knew that he couldn't be dissuaded, so he had to stop. When his father and son had finished eating, they commanded the dining room to prepare the sacrifices of the three animals.

Allure knows its own customs, women's bodies belong to yin, go up the mountain to worship, disturb the sleep of the ancestors, although she is not superstitious, but the palace is not an ordinary family, any violation of the law of etiquette, will inevitably attract criticism, but not the school

Qi father and son took a car, got out of the city gate, and headed towards Zhongnan Mountain. Zhongnan Mountain is located in the middle section of the Qinling Mountains under the shadow of the obstruction, more than 20 miles away from Chang'an, the mountain shape is dangerous, there are five large valleys, more than 100 valleys, and the danger of Kyushu is the reputation.

When the group reached the foot of the mountain, they had to abandon the carriage and hike up the mountain from the bamboo valley. Qi Jiye's father and son were in front, and the three mansions were carrying the sacrifices behind, and the five of them went to the Guanyin Terrace of Taiyi Mountain, which is a branch of Nanshan Mountain.

Duwang Mountain ran dead horses, Guanyin Platform seemed to be close in front of them, and everyone walked for an hour before they got the mountainside. In front of an ancient pine pavilion like a cover, around the pine tree to build a pavilion, that is the famous single pine pavilion.

The five of them rested in the pavilion. The birds chirp all around, the fragrance of flowers is intoxicating, look at it, the peaks and peaks are stacked, the rivers and mountains are picturesque, and the heart is relaxed and happy.

Seeing that his father was still out of breath, and the mountain road ahead was becoming more and more dangerous, he was afraid that his physical strength would be exhausted, and he was afraid that his feet would slip, so he squatted down and said, "Let the child carry his father for a ride." ”

Qi Jiye waved his hand and said: "It's not hard for you to carry it, and I can still support it." Qi Dao: "I remember that when the child was eight years old, Qingming came to worship his grandfather, starting from this Dusong Pavilion, and it was also his father who worshiped the child and went up the mountain. Now that the child has grown up, he will recognize me as carrying back to his father. ”

Qi Jiye laughed and said, "Okay, good, then there will be contacts." Tears glistened with tears in his eyes, and he was afraid that his son would see him, so he turned and lay on his back.

Qi picked up his father and turned around: "One step ahead, the three eldest brothers are not in a hurry." "Take a big stride and gallop up the mountain.

Qi Jiye only felt the wind in his ears, and the things in front of him regressed rapidly, and when he arrived, he was like a phantom, and he was greatly surprised in his heart; he couldn't help but feel relieved to think that his son's feet were so strong, and he didn't know how many times better than his own sick body.

Rush up to the Guanyin platform, only to see ahead, facing north to build two mausoleums, not grandiose, surrounded by weeds, it seems to be very desolate.

Qi felt sour in his heart, and said: "Grandfather quit horses all his life and laid down half of the country for the Tang Dynasty, how can the emperor bear his old man's family to be buried here?"

Qi Jiye sighed and said, "This is the tomb that your grandfather picked himself. Although there are many inconveniences, from this, eight hundred miles of Qinchuan, you can see it all, I think that his old man was born to open up the territory for the Tang Dynasty, and he died to defend the land for the Tang Dynasty. ”

Qi Dao: "I hope that the protection of his old man can get his place!" Qi Jiye heard his son's words with even stronger resentment, and his heart was shocked, he looked back, Lone Feng was lonely, and said uneasily: "When did you become dissatisfied with the emperor?

Zimoran was silent. Qi Jiye said: "Your father went out to fight for this, as a courtier, and after acting as the king, he served the country and asked for his life for the people, so it was nothing." Your grandfather never gave up all his life, although your father and I are incompetent, how can we be greedy for life and afraid of death? As for your wedding today, although the emperor did not come, you can let Gonggong Jiang pass on the decree, and the reward is the same, how can you expect more as a courtier?"

Qi Dao: "Father, you are not afraid of danger, that is your courage, but the court is not unavailable, I prefer you to take command, although this matter is recommended by the three provinces and six ministries, the emperor actually approved it himself, didn't my father think about the deep meaning?"

Qi Jiye was silent for a while, sighed softly, and said: "What is going to come is always coming, for my father I just did what the son of the king should do, so that I can give an explanation to your grandfather in the future, and my wish will be enough!"

Qi asked: "Is this what Grandpa thinks?" Qi Jiye asked rhetorically: "Otherwise, if not, then now, maybe it won't be Datang's!"

Qi was speechless. Qi Jiye sighed again and said, "No matter whose subordinate it is, there will always be one, and it will inevitably become a don't spare it." Your father was born as the son of the king, and it is my mission not to let your grandfather lose his name in the hands of your father. Then he walked to the side of the tomb, bent down, and picked up the wild grass that had grown wildly on the ground.
