Hezhou, in an unknown valley, although it is in the middle of autumn, but see the ancient trees in the sky, the surrounding grass and trees are verdant, and the flowers are like a brocade. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, I saw a boy about five or six years old lying on the grass in the valley, and I don't know whose child it was, playing and sleeping here.

It turned out that this person was Xiao Yichen, who had been running desperately without knowing the direction since he escaped by the river last night. Until the sky was slightly bright, and he lay on the ground exhausted. Tired and frightened, he fell asleep unconsciously.

I don't know how long it took, Xiao Yichen felt an itch on his face, and when he opened his eyes, it turned out to be an emerald green bird, jumping around on his face.

Xiao Yichen sat up with his hands on the ground, and the emerald green bird flew to the branch on the side in fright, tilting his little head to look at the "monster" in front of him.

Xiao Yichen rubbed his eyes with his little hands. Looking in front of me, I saw that the green trees were around, the grass was green, and the sun had already risen.

"Ahh After looking around, and finding that there was no enemy chasing him, he couldn't help patting the "pounding" chest with his little hand, and then sighed sadly.

remembered the parting with his parents, and the tragic picture of Zhu Tong, Yang Zongjie and others dying for him last night. Xiao Yichen's tears flowed unconsciously.

When he was young, he wiped away his tears with his sleeve, clenched his fists and said: "Father, mother, and Uncle Zhu, you can rest assured that Chen'er will live well, so that he can live up to your expectations and avenge you!" Xiao Yichen bowed three times to the southeast after speaking.

Xiao Yichen then picked a handful of wild fruits in this valley to satisfy his hunger, and planned to walk out of the valley. Who knew that this valley was full of thorns and weeds, and the difficulties of mosquitoes, snakes, scorpions, and jackals were also miserable.

Xiao Yichen, it took two days of hard work to get out of the valley. After leaving the valley, head to the main road. From afar, he saw scattered passers-by, all carrying their burdens and heading north.

He caught up and went to inquire with an old man, and it turned out that they had all taken refuge in the capital of Qi State, "Ye" City.

Xiao Yichen thought to himself: "It's better for me to mix in, first, I can avoid Chen Baxian's pursuit, and second, I really don't know where to go!"

At that moment, he concealed his life history and made up some tragic life experiences. When the bystanders heard this, they were very sympathetic. And when he thought of the scene of separation from his father and queen mother, he couldn't stop crying again.

Although Xiao Yichen was dressed in brocade clothes and jade clothes, because of the two days of running, the "scarred holes" that had already been hung by the branches and thorns of the trees looked like a beggar, and no one doubted it. Those people immediately asked Xiao Yichen to follow.

On the way, Xiao Yichen saw ten rooms and nine empty, extremely desolate, but fortunately, some people who fled saw that he was weak and pitiful, so they gave him some dry food.

Xiao Yichen was grateful and silently remembered it in his heart. And after walking for several more days, many blisters were formed on his feet. Xiao Yichen gritted his tiger teeth and insisted on keeping up. Whenever in the dead of night, he couldn't help but think of his father, queen mother and others, so he couldn't help crying secretly....

After doing this for more than a month, "Yecheng" is already in sight. The people who fled gathered more and more, like a long dragon with no end in sight.

Xiao Yichen saw that the "Yecheng" city in front of him stretched for more than ten miles, and the high platforms in the city soared straight into the sky, he was naturally amazed, and his mind couldn't help but search for the ancient books he had read before.

When he got closer, Xiao Yichen looked up, but saw that the city wall was about four feet high, and every ten steps on the city wall, there was a battlement, and there was a fully armed soldier standing next to the battlement....

"Oh, .... official, you can do it, let me in....hey....stop fighting...."

"Fuck off...."

Suddenly, a noisy voice came from the front, pulling Xiao Yichen back from his shocked thoughts.

I saw two rows of hundreds of elite soldiers lined up in front of the moat, and a soldier in the armor of a partial general was whipping a "refugee". While beating, he scolded: "Damn, don't you know the words on it? Just squeeze it inside, and tell you that whoever doesn't pay a tael of silver today wants to go into the city, hum....."

When the refugees heard this, their faces were bitter and they began to talk about it. You know, one tael of silver is enough for ordinary people to spend a year. What's more, he cried bitterly.

It turned out that due to the large number of refugees who came to flee, Yecheng was already "overcrowded", so this provision was specially enacted. Xiao Yichen ran to the place where he carried the person and took out more than a dozen pieces of broken silver from his arms. Quietly handed it to those who had helped him before.

"This—" the men said suspiciously.

"This is my reward for you, please accept it, we will have a date later, don't leave it at that. Xiao Yichen said in a low voice, and turned to walk towards the general.

"Thank you...."Those people looked at Xiao Yichen's back and said silently in their hearts.

"Official, this is the boy's road fare, please accept it. Xiao Yichen handed two pieces of broken silver to the general.

The partial general threw the broken silver in his hand and said, "You kid still know the general situation, go to the city!" After speaking, he told the soldiers to dodge a road.

Xiao Yichen hurriedly made two gestures and said, "Thank you, sir...."

When he looked back at the "refugees" and the scolding officers and soldiers who were still blocked out, he couldn't help but shake his head and sighed and walked towards the city.

He went straight ahead, and saw that the roads in the city were wide, the streets were paved with green bricks, and there were many shops on both sides, and the flow of people was like weaving, and the cars and horses were like dragons.

"Huh, what is this fragrance?", "Shark fin boiled bear paw", "Braised koi tail", "Steamed white hump"...."Xiao Yichen sniffed and said.

Walking along the scent, it didn't take long for a restaurant to rise on the street in front of me. It is about ten zhang high, and it faces each other in the air with the bronze sparrow, the golden phoenix, and the ice well.

The building is divided into five floors, pure wood construction, with six nanmu that two people hug straight through the roof of the building, and then support with other logs, the top of the eaves of the flying, the beams, columns, purlins, rafters of the whole building are connected with tenons, solid as a stone.

The door is open six times, and it is built in the shape of a mountain. The corners of the eaves are decorated with wind chimes, the breeze blows, and the sound of "ding dong" is endless. In the middle of the door on the first floor, there is a large plaque hanging, and there are three gilded characters of "Hongtai Building" on it.

Xiao Yichen couldn't help but nod his head in approval: "Connecting the meaning of Qingying and sending down the momentum of Taiyue, it is really bold!" As soon as he thought about it, he raised his feet and walked inside.

"Huh?" Xiao Yichen looked up and saw a small hat in Tsing Yi, and a fat shopkeeper blocked his way.

The shopkeeper crossed his arms around his chest, raised his eyes to the sky and said, "Where did this little beggar come from, just casually go inside." As he spoke, he glanced at Xiao Yichen with disdain.

Xiao Yichen looked at himself who looked like a beggar at this time, and then looked at the arrogant and rude shopkeeper in front of him, and couldn't help but feel angry.

Suddenly, his dark eyes flickered. Reaching into his arms, he took out an ingot of ten taels of silver, threw it to the shopkeeper and said, "Find me a seat, and lead the way in front!"

The shopkeeper saw such a big ingot of silver flying in, and hurriedly reached out to pick it up. Unexpectedly, if he didn't pay attention, he hit the eye socket, and suddenly his right eye was black and red and swollen.

But he still endured the pain, covered his right eye with his left hand, and crouched down to collect the silver. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yichen was petite and agile, he picked it up one step ahead of him, put it in his hand and looked at it carefully, as if he wanted to see if the silver would bloom.

The shopkeeper, who was squatting on the ground with an embarrassed expression, snorted: "Master, this...."

Xiao Yichen pursed his lips and said, "Hmph, am I very small?"

"No, no, uncle, uncle... The minion knows that he is wrong, the minion has a dog's eye...", the shopkeeper greeted his face again and again.

"Hmph", looking at the shopkeeper on the ground who was palming his own mouth, Xiao Yichen felt very relieved.

He immediately threw the silver at the feet of the shopkeeper and said, "Why don't you lead the way." The shopkeeper grabbed the silver on the ground and put it in his arms, and ran to Xiao Yichen like a gust of wind to lead the way. At the entrance of the stairs, he said: "Uncle, it's too noisy downstairs, please upstairs!"

Xiao Yichen looked at his right eye, which was black, red and swollen, and his body was fat and looked like a panda. Forcibly held back a smile and said "hum, um" twice, and walked up the stairs with his head held high.

After a while, "Ahem......!Uncle,.... you have gone wrong." The shopkeeper said anxiously.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Yichen said suspiciously.

"You can't go up to the fourth floor casually!" replied the shopkeeper.

Xiao Yichen wanted to go up to the fifth floor to eat and enjoy the scenery, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but say, "Isn't it okay to have money?"

"Yes, only the princes and ministers of the current dynasty can sit on the fourth floor. ”

"Oh, what about the fifth layer?" Xiao Yichen asked curiously.

"This ,...." shopkeeper looked like he wanted to say something.

"Why, you still want silver!" Xiao Yichen teased.

"Ah, no, it's not...."The shopkeeper hurriedly waved his hand. Stretching out his head to look around, he leaned over Xiao Yichen's ear and said, "This fifth layer is reserved for today's saints. ”

"Oh, I see. The shopkeeper was not surprised when he saw Xiao Yichen hear this, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Don't you know that Xiao Yichen is also a royal nobleman.

Xiao Yichen then turned around and walked downstairs to the third floor, only to see a few people sitting on the third floor. I picked a window seat and sat down. Said: "Serve all the famous dishes in your restaurant." ”

"Ahh

"What, are you afraid that I can't afford to eat?" Xiao Yichen reached into his arms after speaking, and threw a bag of silver on the table and said angrily.

"No, I'm afraid you won't be able to finish it. ”

"Really? I see you're getting cuter. Haha!" Xiao Yichen rewarded him with another ingot of silver and said, "Hurry up, I'm starving to death." ”

"Okay, uncle, wait a minute. The shopkeeper took the silver and flew happily to deliver the food.

"Look. At this time, I saw two scholars sitting on the left side of Xiao Yichen, dressed as scholars, glanced at Xiao Yichen and nodded to each other.

Xiao Yichen knelt on a chair at this time, leaning on the edge of the window and looking at the scenery on the street, not noticing it at all.

Another "drunk" who was sitting with his back to Xiao Yichen shook his head noncommittally, and then raised his head and toasted a glass of bamboo leaf green.

About a quarter of an hour later, the delicacies of the mountains and the sea, all kinds of delicacies, and flowing water also came up. Xiao Yichen rolled up his sleeves and stuffed it into his mouth like a "wind and clouds". After a while, I saw a mess of cups and plates on the table.

Xiao Yichen rubbed his high bulging belly and said, "It's so full! The delicacies in the palace on weekdays are not as delicious as this." It seems that people are really born in the midst of blessings and do not know blessings!

"Alas!" he sighed again. What should we do next? How should we go on the road in the future? Xiao Yichen couldn't help but become worried.

Looking out of the window, most of the buildings and streets of the Northern Qi Dynasty can be seen. He looked at the people bustling on the street, and he couldn't help but feel lonely in his heart. Although they were in a hurry, there was always one or several people in the house waiting for his return, but what about themselves?

He looked up at the sky outside the window, and seemed to see the kind face of the queen mother and the hard but caring father of the emperor. How can I change this predicament? Zhu Tong, Uncle Zhu....

Thinking that Zhu Tong was about to sink to the bottom of the river, Xiao Yichen couldn't help but feel sad when he finally contained a warm smile....

Xiao Yichen suddenly said in his heart, "By the way, if I had the skills of Uncle Zhu, wouldn't it be twice the result with half the effort to go in and out of the palace to rescue my father and mother? Well, yes, the top priority is to find a famous teacher, and then learn from him, only in this way can there be hope." ”

Thinking about this section, Xiao Yichen couldn't help but be in good spirits, and after calling the shopkeeper to meet the banknotes, he went down the stairs. Unexpectedly, the two scholars on the left also followed Xiao Yichen downstairs at this time.

The "drunk" lying on the wine table also raised his head. I saw that under the cover of his unkempt hair, the lightning flashed in a pair of clear eyes, and he secretly said to himself: "It seems that there is a lively scene to see, hehe!" At this time, the gray shadow flashed, and I saw a silver ingot of ten taels on the table, and there was the shadow of the drunk?

Xiao Yichen walked on the street and looked around with his eyes to see if there were any martial artists to accept apprentices. Suddenly, someone behind him covered his mouth, Xiao Yichen struggled desperately, how could he bear that he was young and weak, and he couldn't get rid of it.

"Bang!" was thrown to the ground, "Ah!" Xiao Yichen screamed in pain, and he looked around to see that it was a dead end.

And the two wicked people in front of him turned out to be the two scholars on the "Hongtai Building". "You, you....what do you want to do?" Xiao Yichen asked as he retreated from the corner of the wall and trembled.

"Haha, don't be afraid, our brothers have been strapped for money lately, and we want to borrow some silver flowers from you. The two of them forced over without smiling.

"I....I don't have any money. ”

"Hehe, no money? Where is all your extravagant spending all your money just now!ahhaha....!"

Xiao Yichen said angrily: "You, you....see that you are also scholars, to do such a thing, it is simply insulting to Sven and disgrace the ancestors of Kong Sheng!"

"Haha, big brother, this kid is really sharp!" one of the scholars teased.

"Hmph, second brother, catch him, I'll search him. ”

Xiao Yichen wanted to escape, but he was held down by a person. Seeing that Yinliang was searched away, he couldn't help but scold.

"Stinky villain, big villain, turtle son bastard..."Xiao Yichen searched his intestines and scraped his stomach, and there were only a few swear words that he thought were the most vicious, scolding back and forth repeatedly.

"Hmph, be honest, little bastard. The scholar who looked like the big brother greeted Xiao Yichen as he spoke.

"Ahh Although Xiao Yichen suffered pain in his body, he still kept scolding.

"Hey, second brother, look. I saw that the scholar was holding a palm-sized "dragon pattern jade pendant" in his hand

"Haha, big brother, I'm making a lot of money now!"

"You, you pay me back quickly, I beg you, you can take the money, but this jade pendant is really important to me, please give it back to me!" Xiao Yichen begged bitterly.

"Tsk, it's strange that you don't know the world and show your wealth in front of people. If you run into someone else, you are considered lucky, so you should buy a lesson, if you run into someone else, hum! ”

"Haha, what the eldest brother said is true. The scholar who looked like a little brother said flatteringly.

The eldest brother glanced at the crystal pendant on Xiao Yichen's neck and said, "Worthless goods", and then said to Xiao Yichen: "Little brother, you can keep this pendant! After speaking, he squeezed his eyes at his brother.

"You guys, don't die well...."Xiao Yichen clasped his hands on his knees and shouted at the backs of the two. "Haha", he was answered by the presumptuous laughter of the two brothers....
