At the order of King Li, the imperial city was renamed Pingcheng, and the majestic palace was put aside. Its former glory no longer existed, and it was deserted and deserted.

The dusk faded, and in a small inn in Pingcheng, the dim light stretched the backs of the two people. Their faces looked even more unreal under the candlelight, and the patterns on their faces made them even more weird.

A man was sitting by the bed with gauze wrapped around his arm, seemingly injured.

"Is Brother's arrow wound better?" Qianhun walked over and watched Qianzhi changing the dressing for his wound. He wanted to bandage it, but was blocked by the man's hand.

"What's the big deal about a small injury?" Qian Zhi didn't seem to mind, and tightened the gauze himself, as if he was already used to it.

"When will the eldest brother plan to return to Hunan? It's all because of my sister's willfulness. So many lives have been caused in Pingcheng. King Zhao knows that he won't let us brothers and sisters go, right?" Qianhun seemed to blame himself, looking at his eldest brother,

He hugged his elder brother from behind, resting his head on Qian Zhi's back with his eyes closed. Qian Zhi seemed to be very used to his sister being like this, and didn't notice anything wrong at all.

"Since he is useful to us, he will not attack us easily." Qianchi turned his head and kissed Qianhun's forehead, and then held her in his arms.

"I heard that Zhao Huaiyu has been ill for a long time. Zhao Huaijin is afraid that he will hate us, and his life in Xiangkou may not be easy at that time." At this time, Qianhun seemed to be slightly restless, and his hands kept touching Qianzhi.

Wander around the waist.

"Zhao Huaijin is nothing, my eldest brother has never taken him seriously! But a scholar with no ability to restrain a chicken is useless except for talking heads. I think so many things are probably Zhao Huaijin's idea." Qian Zhi said in a stern tone and pushed away.

Qianhun stood up and sat down at the table nearby. He poured himself a glass of water and drank it in one gulp.

Qianhun was stunned for a moment, then he simply lay down on the bed and said, "Sister, there is something I don't understand! King Zhao asked us to kill Ji Danqingfeng and Han Ming, but why didn't we kill him? What if we were exposed later?

Are both sides offended?"

"Why do you have to worry about this? Ji Dan Qingfeng and Han Ming are such smart people. Even if something happened at that time and they didn't know who was responsible, after this series of things, they might have guessed what King Zhao did.

King Zhao may have been their enemy for a long time."

"Then why did King Zhao do this? Didn't he offend Pluto and King Li? Isn't he afraid that they will join forces to deal with him, and then they will be unable to bear the consequences and walk away?"

"That boy, King Zhao, has a withdrawn and sinister personality, and his behavior is unpredictable. But since he dares to do this, he will not be afraid of offending them."

"Brother, it's better to be careful! I wonder what the next step is going to be?"

"Try to be as low-key as possible and find a way back to Xiangkou. Besides, we won't find nothing." Qian Zhi said with a smile: "I'm afraid many people are looking for General Huang's only son."

"That's natural!" Qianhun also laughed, looking particularly charming under the dim light. "It's so late today, and Qianhun wants my eldest brother to accompany me." As he spoke, he took off his clothes with a hint of coquettishness.

Qian Zhi walked over and held her in his arms, kissing her forehead and hugging her tighter.

"Brother..." Qianhun called softly, holding onto each other's back tightly. The two seemed to have been accustomed to this pattern, embracing each other and sleeping in the dark...

=====

"Brother Zhao, why are we going to Pingcheng again?" Shi Xin held Zhao Huaiyu's immature hand, and the two of them walked one behind the other.

"I see old friends, you see you

Brother Du, isn’t that the best of both worlds?” Zhao Huaiyu said with a smile.

"Which old friend did Brother Zhao meet? Is it General Huang? But he is already dead." Shi Xin asked again. In the palace, he had been listening to Zhao Huaiyu's words. Apart from General Huang, Shi Xin didn't know that there were other old friends.

.

"Say goodbye to Brother Huang." Zhao Huaiyu put away his smile and looked solemn. Hearing that Mr. Ji Dan restored General Huang's position and buried his bones in a thick burial, it can be considered that General Huang rested in peace under Jiuquan.

Zhao Huaiyu looked gloomy as he thought about it, but he didn't want to infect Shi Xin with his emotions, so he forced a smile and asked, "How have you been studying Shi Xin's books recently?"

"Just so-so. Shi Xin thinks it's getting more and more difficult. Why is it so difficult?" Shi Xin said absently, looking at the pancakes on the street and unable to move, and drool was already flowing from the corner of his mouth.

Zhao Huaiyu could naturally smell the fragrance of snacks all around him. At this time, he himself was so hungry that his stomach growled, so he said: "Shi Xin, go buy some food. Brother Zhao only has these silver coins on him. The next meal will be

It's up to Shi Xin." Zhao Huaiyu took out a few pennies. Shi Xin looked very dissatisfied and twisted around to buy two pancakes, because he could only buy two.

It had only been a few days since I came out, but my financial situation was already very problematic. It was all because I had vowed so hard at the time that I didn't even bring any spare money.

"Shi Xin can't make money yet." Shi Xin said aggrievedly as he ate, but he was already thinking about what to do with his next meal.

"You can both tell and interpret fortunes. With such good skills, you can naturally make money. My brother doesn't have such skills, but he still survived."

"My brother's survival is mostly due to his reputation." Shi Xin glanced at Zhao Huaiyu and ate pancakes listlessly, "Shi Xin can't be relied on. Shi Xin thinks this book is too difficult, and Brother Zhao's teaching is not as good as Brother Qingfeng." Shi Xin felt aggrieved.

Talking.

"Huaiyu is a man of limited talent and knowledge, so naturally he is not as good as Mr. Ji Dan."

"That's not the case. Brother Qingfeng only talks but doesn't do anything. He never does anything for others. It's better for Brother Zhao, who knows how to tell fortunes himself, so he can learn faster." Shi Xin continued talking without raising his head while eating.

"Who did Shi Xin pass on to?" Zhao Huaiyu became interested.

"This is a secret. Shi Xin can't tell you." Shi Xin shook his head and continued to stare at the remaining pancakes in his hand.

"Then who do you like best among these people? You can always tell me this."

"Shi Xin tells you quietly, it's the prince, but my eldest brother doesn't like Shi Xin." Shi Xin said, biting into the pancake with aggrieved expression.

"Shi Xin is really capable! It's rare for Shi Xin to like someone as difficult to deal with as King Li."

"What about Brother Zhao? Who do you like?"

"Like..." Zhao Huaiyu pondered, "The word "like" is not suitable for Huaiyu. There is a saying that friendship between gentlemen is as light as water. Huaiyu does not dare to call himself a gentleman, but it is difficult for him to have a close heart."

"What about General Huang? Brother Zhao doesn't like it?" Shi Xin asked seriously again.

"Where's Brother Huang? We are close friends, but we can't use the word like." Zhao Huaiyu also said seriously.

"I really don't understand you." Shi Xin watched people coming and going, eating pancakes, his stomach still growling.

"We will arrive in Pingcheng tomorrow. Shi Xin can have a good meal." Zhao Huaiyu's stomach also growled a few times.

At Pingcheng Station, Du Heng received the news and rushed over.

"Brother Du!" Shi Xin ran to hug Du Heng.

Du Heng ran over and picked up Du Heng as fast as he could.

"Why are you here alone?" Du Heng hugged Shi Xin and spun him around a few times, making Shi Xin dizzy.

"There is Mr. Zhao too." Shi Xin said speechlessly, pointing at Zhao Huaiyu who was sitting behind him.

Du Heng saw a blind man behind him, but he was elegant and majestic. He seemed to be smiling at Du Heng, but Du Heng couldn't be sure. After all, the other person couldn't see him, so he only responded awkwardly.

Shi Xin pulled Du Heng to Zhao Huaiyu and introduced: "This is Du Heng, brother Du!", then pointed at Zhao Huaiyu and said: "This is my new master Zhao Huaiyu."

"I have heard the name General Du for a long time, and I have admired him for a long time!" Zhao Huaiyu said it naturally in a polite way. Although he knew that Shi Xin had a prospective brother-in-law named Du Heng, he really didn't know that there was such a person as General Du.

"Master, have you ever heard of my name?" Du Heng looked excited, "So I am so famous!" Du Heng was overjoyed and began to talk to himself.

Zhao Huaiyu hurriedly laughed twice and said: "Of course, of course I know!" to ease the embarrassment, but Du Heng had no idea at all.

"I'm Zhao Huaiyu, please take care of me, general!" Zhao Huaiyu introduced like this, and Du Heng naturally had never heard of Zhao Huaiyu's name, so he thought he was an insignificant person, so he nodded in agreement without paying much attention, but in his heart

But I have a doubt. I always feel like I have seen this person before somewhere but I can't remember it.

Du Heng took Shi Xin and kept chatting, completely ignoring Zhao Huaiyu next to him.

Naturally, Shi Lan talked about it the most, saying that she hadn't seen her for a long time and missed her so much, but Shi Lan didn't even leave a message, which made Du Heng a little sad.

There was also the fact that Shi Xin came out with an unfamiliar person and recognized a master, and this was the second master. This really made Du Heng think about it for a while. Du Heng felt that this child Shi Xin was completely unreliable, and he was afraid that

I still have to admit the third one, the fourth one..., I feel very unhappy.

While the two were chatting, Zhao Huaiyu sat completely aside, smiling awkwardly rather than politely. Zhao Huaiyu just sat there for the whole afternoon.

"General Du is guarding Pingcheng. He must be very busy. Huaiyu has other important matters so I won't bother him." Zhao Huaiyu cleared his throat and said.

At this time, the sky had darkened, and Du Heng realized that it was already late and the reception was not good, so he laughed a few times, but was not polite to Zhao Huaiyu, and Shi Xin also wanted to leave with Huaiyu, which made Du Heng feel a little unhappy.

.

Du Heng didn't have a good impression of Zhao Huaiyu, and he didn't know why. It wasn't until he looked at the backs of the two of them before leaving that he suddenly remembered and said: "I think about it, that man is not from Xiangkou, and he didn't seem to be blind before."

"Back to General Du, I've heard that this person is Mr. Zhao who is ranked second in the world. Isn't it his brother Mr. Zhao Huaijin who is ranked third in the world?"

"No wonder!" Du Heng suddenly realized, "Let me tell you, I have never heard of this name before. It turns out that one is an elder brother and the other is a younger brother. With such a famous elder brother, this younger brother is probably living in his shadow.

I'm here." Du Heng then realized that he had mistaken the wrong person, so he felt that Zhao Huaiyu was not pleasing to the eye.

Du Heng's small village had suffered a lot from Zhao Huaijin. I remember that a few years ago, those same people used Zhao Huaijin's name to arrest people to serve as young men. Du Heng was very disgusted with this person named Zhao at that time. Now he never thought about it.

However, he met his younger brother, but when he looks back now, he feels that Zhao Huaiyu is different from his older brother.
