Following Zhao Qingyan's gaze, the corners of the clothes of the two people could be faintly seen behind the tree.

"Are you waiting for him?" Tang Xiaoyu took a few steps, leaned against the tree, and pointed to the trembling young man beside him. The boy was still holding a pot of water and a lunch box in his arms, his face was pale, and his eyes were filled with indescribable fear.

Zhao Qingyan said: "I asked him to go." ”

Tang Xiaoyu raised his eyebrows and said, "I know, this lunch box contains the food I ordered to be made for you, but you haven't moved a mouthful - no, it should be said, you don't want him to take it back." In the entire Suzaku Palace, apart from you, there is no second person who dares to disobey my orders. You can't eat this amount of food yourself. Touching the boy's hair, the boy's body trembled, and he was so frightened that he almost sat down.

Zhao Qingyan frowned: "Since he is not wrong, don't be embarrassed for him." ”

Tang Xiaoyu asked, "Are you accusing me?"

Zhao Qingyan said: "No. Immediately shut his mouth.

Tang Xiao smiled and said: "It's useless for you to shut up, I have always done things only based on preferences, regardless of reason." Just like you, I won't treat you the same way I treat them, but that doesn't mean I'll treat this guy the same way I treat you. He took one of the boy's arms, and with a gentle smile, he began at his wrist and pinched it up and down to his shoulder, despite his horrified gaze. The whole arm was crushed alive in the boy's terrible screams, and the arm hung limply.

Zhao Qingyan watched quietly, his eyes dodged slightly, but he didn't say anything.

Tang Xiaoyu continued: "You won't let go of your ridiculous dignity and submit, but someone like him who has been punished because of you will make you feel heartache, right?"

Zhao Qingyan raised his eyebrows and chuckled: "Do you firmly believe that I will be so benevolent and kind?"

Tang Xiaoyu asked rhetorically, "Isn't it?"

Zhao Qingyan looked at him for a while, and suddenly smiled: "Tang Xiaoyu, I've seen a lot of this kind of thing." My mercy is not reserved for such people. I will regret it because I implicated him. But I would never have any more joy or sorrow for someone like this who has long since lost his soul. If I had such an arm for him, I would feel sad, and I would have lived so long in your Suzaku Palace. ”

Tang Xiaoyu "tsk" twice, and did not express more opinions on this matter: "Your poison is almost clear, do you go down the mountain with them, or stay here to accompany me?"

Zhao Qingyan raised his eyebrows: "It's so easy to put me down?"

Tang Xiaoyu said helplessly: "No way, it's not that you don't know what the situation of the puppet palace is now." Of course it's okay for you to stay, they're a nuisance. After that, the Suzaku Hall will go to war, and if they are all killed, then won't I offend the court? I haven't planned to do such a stupid thing. ”

"Thank you very much, and we'll take our leave. Zhao Qingyan stood up decisively, reached out and held the half-pressed mechanical beast in his arms, and looked at King Huan, "I'll go change my clothes, Uncle Thirteen, you wait for me for a while." ”

Tang Xiaoyu picked up the lunch box that the young man threw on the ground and put it on the table, and said with a light smile: "There is no poison in the rice, you can eat a little." With a smile, he glanced at Zhao Qingyan, who was obviously waiting for him to go together, shrugged, and followed.

——————————————————————-

Tang Xiaoyu leaned against the wall and watched Zhao Qingyan carefully wrap the parts of the mechanical beast and put them into the baggage, and suddenly smiled: "Do you like the mechanical technique very much? I didn't force it, did you?"

Zhao Qingyan glanced up at him, and lowered his head again: "Thank you." ”

Tang Xiaoyu blinked: "Thank you, thank me for what?"

Zhao Qingyan didn't answer directly, was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "I like the mechanisms very much, and I'm glad that I can touch them." Hearing Tang Xiaoyu's laughter, he raised his eyes to look at him: "What's the matter?"

Tang Xiaoyu surprisingly didn't mock him, and shook his head with a smile: "No, I just think that your appearance is rare and interesting, and you are similar to me before." When I was still in the Tang Sect, I was very fond of hidden weapon mechanisms, as well as poison. I especially like the mechanism, I especially like it, I can look at the most basic drawings for more than a dozen hours in a row...... I was so obsessed with it that I stole the drawings that I shouldn't have seen before I knew it. ”

Seeing that Zhao Qingyan had no bored expression, Tang Xiaoyu continued: "Master has always said that I am a genius, and that I can see that I have hot feelings for these cold things. To be honest, I don't know what Master means. It's just that...... I felt lonely, empty, and unusually helpless. But when I touch the trap and the hidden weapon box, I feel very happy, and I feel that I am no longer alone. That's it. But you know, the Tang Sect is strictly hierarchical, and I am only an outer disciple after all, no matter how optimistic the master is of me, it is impossible for me to look at all the drawings. So, I stole the drawings and ran away before they found out. ”

Tang Xiaoyu narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhao Qingyan: "Now I don't have the satisfaction I had at that time, I suddenly want to find an apprentice to accompany me, and then teach him everything I can teach, and see him looking at the mechanism in his hand with obsessive and cherished eyes like I once did...... Do you think someone like me can find an apprentice?"

Zhao Qingyan couldn't help but laugh and asked, "How do you want me to answer?"

Tang Xiaoyu naturally understood what he meant, and shrugged: "Whatever, it's destined to be disappointed anyway." I've been looking for so many years, and there is no one better than you. And you, on the other hand, have a temperament that does not meet my requirements at all, and your cowardice is more obvious than your strength. A person who is empty of talent and has no power to protect himself will not be able to inherit my mantle after all. There was no sigh in the words.

Zhao Qingyan pouted: "A person like you who lives in a corner and is content with the status quo deserves so much luxury?"

Tang Xiaoyu was not angry, and said leisurely: "I gave you a lot of questions, is it too much to ask of you? I gave you so many first-class killers, and that was what I prepared for my apprentice." If you hadn't given them away, the Tavern would have been yours by now. ”

Zhao Qingyan said: "It's just that you can't support it, I'll find another master for you." ”

Tang Xiaoyu raised his eyebrows and said, "Without my wine hall, you are destined to be embarrassed by the puppet palace this time." ”

Zhao Qingyan sneered: "If I don't transfer it to the Liquor Hall, you will have to be submissive and subordinate to Luo Changxiu in the future." ”

Tang Xiaoyu choked for a moment, and then said, "Without me, you would have died under Gu poison a long time ago." ”

Zhao Qingyan said: "My teacher is a recognized miracle doctor in the rivers and lakes, and the Biluo internal skills taught by the master can suppress all poisons. I've lost both my legs on the left and right, what's the difference between you and you?

Tang Xiao was defeated: "Count you powerful." ”

Zhao Qingyan was silent for a moment and said, "At least an apprentice like me won't kill a teacher." If you ask for that, you will only die at the hands of your own disciples. ”

Tang Xiaoyu asked, "Don't you think that ending is not bad?"

Zhao Qingyan agreed: "It's good, then you can wait slowly." He took the baggage in his hand, got up and prepared to leave.

"Hey, you say, if I try to cultivate you again, can I turn you into the kind of apprentice I want?" Tang Xiaoyu suddenly asked with interest.

Zhao Qingyan glanced at him: "You'd better not do that kind of senseless thing, it won't come to fruition." Wait, maybe in a few years or two you will be able to find a disciple who meets your requirements. ”

Tang Xiaoyu asked, "You can't be talking about yourself, right?"

Zhao Qingyan said lightly: "I'm afraid not." ”

Tang Xiaoyu smiled: "I know it's not." I wish you were like that, but hopefully, it's too slim. ”

Zhao Qing said: "Thank you." "Then he was leaving.

"That's right. Tang Xiaoyu stopped Zhao Qingyan again, took out a box from his arms and handed it to him, "This is for you, for self-defense, be careful of the poison on it." I've also written the recipe and antidote for the poison on it - if I have time to take the antidote. ”

Zhao Qingyan was stunned for a moment, stretched out his hand to take it, opened it and glanced at it, and wondered: "What is this?"

Tang Xiaoyu said: "Mo Wai pondered a mechanical secret weapon called 'Poisonous Bee Crossbow'. The dispenser is made of a crossbow, and the concealed weapon is a poison needle, and the best distance is twenty paces. You go back and think about it slowly. ”

Zhao Qingyan took the poisonous bee crossbow in his hand and looked at it for a while, and then asked, "Are you sure you want to give it to me?" I think this thing seems to be very delicate, unlike ordinary hidden weapons, you shouldn't have a few in your hand, right?"

Tang Xiaoyu reminded: "Your thirteenth uncle is still waiting for you, if you are still here and delaying and not leaving, he is likely to rush over to find you." ”

Zhao Qingyan covered the box, stuffed it into his arms, and thanked him: "Then thank you, I'm leaving." After Tang Xiaoyu reminded him of this, he was really a little anxious, and when he saw Tang Xiaoyu nodding, he walked out quickly.

There is news all over the place, if King Huan is really worried about walking around, the consequences are unimaginable.

As soon as Zhao Qingyan left, Mo Wai, who was dressed in gray, walked out from behind the screen and said with a smile: "It's rare to see you have a time when you are deflated." ”

Tang Xiaoyu pulled a chair and sat on it, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Nope. "I just want to see what the big brother's valued friend looks like, and by the way, I am curious about the person you praise a lot." How can I say that? It doesn't seem perfect. ”

Tang Xiaoyu snorted coldly: "It's no worse than you." ”

Mo cried and teased: "Fang Cai is still picky in every way, and now he is so protective, don't you think it's strange?"

Tang Xiaoyu asked rhetorically: "What's strange? I'm talking about his temperament, not that he is not capable enough." The disciples I accepted, may they be poor?"

Mo cried and laughed without giving face: "Don't fool me about this, I know." He didn't admit that you were his master at all, at most his upbringing made him remember a little bit of the grace of teaching. ”

Tang Xiaoyu said: "That's his business, I don't need the master and apprentice to be polite, I just take him as an apprentice." ”

Mo cried and shook his fingers: "He is the quasi-son-in-law of the Trojan Marquis, and the organs of the Trojan Marquis family are no less than yours." ”

Tang Xiaoyu said coldly: "I'm just happy, you don't care." ”

Mo cried and shrugged: "Okay, okay, if you're happy, I don't care." But I'm going to see the boy in Tsing Yi in a few days, you must help me with this favor. ”

Tang Xiaoyu nodded to indicate that he understood, and then asked, "When did you come over?" Why are you hiding in his room?"

Mo cried and sighed: "Didn't I come to look for you? Seeing that you are not here, I plan to go around." Then when I walked nearby, I suddenly remembered that Zhao Qingyan was here with you, so I casually found someone to ask about Zhao Qingyan's room, and then came over. He still had the door open, and I looked around to see that it didn't look like there was a mechanism, so I came in. Who knew that as soon as I came in, I heard the sound of clogs hitting the ground, so I simply hid inside. ”

Tang Xiaoyu replied casually and asked, "Then do you have anything else?"
