The carriage headed northeast of the city, and the places it passed became more and more desolate.

This is the northeastern area of Linzi City, and the houses on both sides of the street are not the high-gate compounds in the bustling center, most of them are low and dilapidated, and the roads are much narrower, and the roads are full of poorly clothed people and dirty beggars.

The middle-aged man surnamed Lan saw Lu Yunzhou observing the scene outside the window, and couldn't help but say: "Young Master Qi, the people who live here are all the people at the bottom of Linzi City, and most of them are laborers unloading goods at the wharf outside the water gate in the east of the city. When I was young, I had a lot of strength and went to work at the docks, but now that I am old and weak, I am disliked by the foreman, so I have to give up this job and go to a small business to make ends meet. ”

Lu Yunzhou turned his head to look and saw that he was in his forties, thin and shriveled, with a haggard and sad expression, and his face was blue and swollen, looking very pitiful.

Lu Yunzhou couldn't bear it in his heart, and asked, "Brother Lan, it's raining, and you haven't asked Brother Lan's name yet?"

The surnamed Lan hurriedly said: "No, no, the next name is Lan Shiqi!"

Lu Yunzhou thought for a moment and asked, "Brother Lan, your name doesn't look like an ordinary person's name. ”

Lan Shiqi smiled bitterly and said frankly: "Qi Gongzi is as wise as a torch, and he is a nobleman of Zheng Guo in his lower ancestor, but that was more than a hundred years ago, Zheng Guo has long since perished, but the glory of his ancestors has nothing to do with me." ”

Lu Yunzhou nodded and said: "The surname Lan is from the branch of Zheng Mugong Ji Lan, disrespectful, disrespectful." ”

Lu Yunzhou was surprised in his heart, this memory came out suddenly, it seems that Qi Yu's knowledge is not bad.

Lan Shiqi's previous performance was that of an ignorant rough man, but now he was polite, and he was ashamed: "Qi Gongzi should not be tortured." ”

The carriage stopped, and Qi Xin's voice came from outside: "Young Master, we have arrived." ”

Lu Yunzhou and Lan Shiqi got off the car one after another, only to see that in front of the carriage was a dilapidated courtyard surrounded by a fence, and the firewood door of the small courtyard was open, and a noisy sound came from inside.

Lan Shiqi's face changed, and as soon as he got out of the car, he rushed inside, and said urgently: "Yuanyuan, Yuanyuan!"

Lu Yunzhou saw that the situation was wrong, and hurriedly called Qi Xin and walked inside.

There was only one dilapidated thatched house in the courtyard, and an open-air shed that was open on all sides, as if it could be blown away by a gust of wind.

The door of the thatched house was open, and the light inside was dim, and it was impossible to see clearly, and as soon as Lan Shiqi rushed in, there was no movement.

Lu Yunzhou held the hilt of the sword with his right hand, silently thinking about the swordsmanship he had practiced in Qi Yu's memory, and walked towards the thatched house step by step.

Just when he was extremely nervous and concentrated, there was a faint human voice floating in the thatched hut--

"Brother Lan, you came back just in time, our brothers scraped together some money and hired a small boat, you should take your niece and leave Linzi by boat, and let the bolt row the boat to take you away." ”

"Yes, Brother Lan, you owe a huge amount of money to the Hou family, they won't let you go, let's leave tonight, while the bastards of the Hou family didn't find out, as long as they go all the way down from Zishui, go to sea, and get on the merchant ship of the Donglai people, they can leave the Qi country safely." ”

Lu Yunzhou pondered the three words "Donglai people" in his head, and always felt a little familiar, but since he heard that the person in the house was not Lan Shiqi's enemy, but a friend, he was relieved and strode into the thatched house.

I saw that the room where the thatched hut entered was empty, and the door of the wing room on the east side was closed, but the door on the west side was open a little crack.

The movement of Lu Yunzhou when he came in alarmed the people inside, and he only heard someone shouting: "Who came in?"

The door was slammed open, and the door slammed against the wall, causing the roof thatch to tremble and dust to fall.

A mass of figures suddenly burst out of the house and rushed towards Lu Yunzhou with great speed.

Lu Yunzhou was shocked in his heart, and before he had time to make a judgment in his head, his body subconsciously followed his instinct - a sideways slide to dodge the frontal attack, and the short body pulled out the Flying Star Sword at his waist with a "sloppy".

The sunlight pouring in from outside the door was reflected on the seven stars of the Flying Star Sword, and the room was suddenly glorious, and the man screamed "ah", covered his eyes, took two steps back, and sat down on the ground.

At this time, the talents in the west room rushed out, and three or five burly men surrounded Lu Yunzhou, staring at him unkindly.

In early spring, the temperature has not yet warmed, but these big men are shirtless, revealing a knotted muscle.

When Lu Yunzhou heard the man's scream, he immediately inserted his sword back, and when he saw this, he was stunned, and was about to speak, when he saw Lan Shiqi hurriedly coming out of the west room.

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, this Qi Gongzi is my benefactor, and he has paid off all my debts for me today!"

The big man who surrounded Lu Yunzhou obviously didn't expect this to be the case, and they were stunned when they heard the words, a big man frowned and looked at Lu Yunzhou's young face, and then looked at Lu Yunzhou's exquisite clothes, and hummed: "Brother Lan, this kid will be so kind?"

Lu Yunzhou raised his eyebrows, ignoring the big man, but looked at the man who was covering his eyes and fell to the ground, and asked, "Are you okay?"

"Hadron!"

Immediately, two big men rushed forward, helped the man who fell to the ground, and saw that the man had been covering his eyes, one of them couldn't help glaring at Lu Yunzhou angrily, but the other asked the strong man with concern: "What's wrong with your eyes?

Qiangzi took away the hand covering his eyes, his eyes were closed, two lines of tears flowed uncontrollably, and his mouth wailed: "Brother Bin, I'm blind, avenge me!"

Seeing that the big men around him were all glaring at him with unkind expressions, Lu Yunzhou shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and said to the strong man sitting on the ground: "Your eyes are crying uncontrollably because of the strong light, but in fact, you have not suffered any substantial damage, you can open your eyes and take a look." ”

Qiangzi was stunned for a moment, and muttered in his mouth: "Tears, aren't they bleeding?" said and slowly opened his eyes, only to see a blur in front of him, and the outline of a person shook in his sight, and after a while, Qiangzi saw clearly that it was a handsome young man in fine clothes, and the young man was looking at himself calmly at the moment.

Everyone was relieved when they saw Hadron's black and white eyes that were not damaged at all, and they no longer looked at Lu Yunzhou's eyes.

Lu Yunzhou sighed in his heart, he understood now that the Flying Star Sword in his hand seemed to be unusable until the moment of life and death!

Lu Yunzhou suddenly remembered what Han Qian said--

"Senior Brother Qi, when Master Ou Yezi cast this sword, he sighed, this is a sword that ordinary people can't tame, just like the starry sky in the sky, who can hold it in his hand?"

After seeing the power of the Flying Star Sword, Lu Yunzhou did not allow anyone to take this sword away from him, so before the critical moment, he wanted to hide it from the world!

Until one day, he has the strength to hold this sword!

At that time, this cheating flying star sword will really show its edge in this era!

Lan Shiqi wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, breathed a sigh of relief, and said fearfully: "It's okay, it's okay, it's a false alarm, it's really a big flood that washed the Dragon King Temple, everyone is my friend surnamed Lan, don't look at my thin face, don't fight each other again!"

Lan Shiqi looked at Lu Yunzhou apologetically: "Young Master Qi, they are all my brothers when I used to work at the docks, I heard that I was forced to pay debts by the people of the Hou family, so I specially came over to discuss help!

Lu Yunzhou smiled and said with relief: "Brother Lan, how can I meet the stranger, it's just a misunderstanding!" said and hugged his fist at the big men around him, and said with a smile: "The kid admires you, they are all righteous heroes, and the rude behavior of the talented kid, please forgive me!"

An unusually tall and strong giant man in the crowd watched everything from beginning to end, and only now did he speak: "Brother Lan, I believe that you look at people's eyes. As he spoke, he walked up to Lu Yunzhou, and his tall body completely blocked the sunlight shining in from the door.

I only heard the majestic voice of the giant man sound: "Qi Gongzi, in Xia Kunhu, you saved Brother Lan's life, that is the benefactor of all our dock workers, as long as Qi Gongzi has orders in the future, we, the dock workers, will go to the soup and fight the fire!"

Lu Yunzhou looked up, the giant man Kunhu in front of him, looking at him was only more than two meters tall, Qi Yu's figure was also the tallest among his peers, but he was still young and still developing, and he was a lot shorter in front of the giant man Kunhu.

Lu Yunzhou clenched his fists and smiled: "With a show of hands, Brother Kun is polite!"

Kunhu said to Lan Shiqi again: "Brother Lan, since there is nothing to do, let's go back to work first, Brother Lan himself has to take care!"

With tears in his eyes, Lan Shiqi stepped forward and patted Kunhu's strong arm, and said movingly: "Good brother." ”

After saying goodbye to Lan Shiqi one by one, the big men left one after another after Kunhu, obviously the giant man Kunhu was the boss of these dock laborers.

And before leaving, the strong son glanced at Lu Yunzhou with a complicated expression, and Lu Yunzhou smiled in return.

Qiangzi looked ashamed and left gratefully.

...

...

After sending the group of dock laborers away, Lan Shiqi returned home, warmly invited Lu Yunzhou to sit down, and brought a crude pottery bowl, in addition to water, there were some black leaves.

Lan Shiqi said embarrassedly: "Young Master Qi, there is only some coarse tea at home, so I am lazy." ”

Lu Yunzhou smiled and said, "It's okay." Reaching out to pick up the tea bowl and taking a sip, the taste was a little bitter and a little sour.

Lu Yunzhou put down the tea bowl and said with a smile: "Brother Lan seems to have a lot of prestige among these dock laborers!"

Lan Shiqi sighed: "I have been in a good family since I was a child, so I have been to a private school for a few years, I can read a few words, and I can write and calculate, so when the neighbors in the neighborhood are in need, they will come to me, and they may respect me more because of this!"

"Hmm......" Lu Yunzhou nodded, thinking in his heart.

Lan Shiqi said gratefully: "The great kindness of the prince of Qi is not repaid in the future, fortunately, the ancestors of the family have passed on a thing, and now it will be handed over to the son, talk about gratitude!"
