Although he knew who his boss was but couldn't recognize him, it was better than not knowing where his boss was. The big shopkeeper rejected Taiping's request to protect Yu Wu, and he followed suit.
The reason for Taiping is legitimate and simple. Yu Wu donated a lot. The Thirteen Styles of Tiandao are coveted skills in the world. Its owner, Brother Yu, is a righteous person. If this skill falls into the hands of the underworld, the world will be in chaos.
This reason is now being used by the big shopkeeper, otherwise he would always tell himself to wait for an opportunity to remind Yu Wu that he is the boss, and he is afraid that he will not find the opportunity and will ruin himself.
And he can only wait for the opportunity to come, and can't say that clearly.
Taking advantage of Taiping's excuse, the big shopkeeper's body was as light as a swallow, and he was walking in the sky. An hour later, he could see the back of Yu Wu's carriage.
The big shopkeeper felt faintly excited, and suddenly felt that his life was extremely fulfilling, and everything was wonderful at this moment.
...
This is a few days before the Mid-Autumn Festival. Under the clear autumn sun, the trees are shining, and the sweet smell of field work can be heard in the distance.
The gentle autumn breeze and the fragrance of wild chrysanthemums on the roadside make everything more beautiful.
Lei Fengqi put his hands on his waist, smiled with his white teeth, and looked in the direction of Guangyang City. Under his feet, there was a boundary monument that read "Thirty Mile Pu".
He was marching at the speed of a rapid march, and he drove nearly two hundred miles through the mountains in one day. At this rapid speed, the wind blew violently past his ears. He could not feel the beauty of autumn for a long time, and his mind was emptied by the speed.
Let him not think of Xiao Yu intentionally or unintentionally.
It also prevents Gao Shan from being too idle, lest he chatter endlessly.
In the middle of the night, he agreed to light the fire and cook. Daying sent news from his fourth brother, saying that Xiao Yu had also left the city.
Lei Fengqi suddenly thought that he had forgotten something. He should complain to Master Yu in private and not send the pretty girl from Xiulou out of the house at will.
Yu Cun was very busy in the past few days. Yu Wuluo had to wait until late at night to talk to his grandfather. It was a good opportunity at the Zhao family's banquet, but the many guests refused to let Yu Cun leave alone and kept talking to Yu Cun.
Socializing can sometimes be tiring, and Lei Fengqi was also one of the heroes. He was not spared from being treated enthusiastically, and he actually forgot about it.
Nowadays, Xiao Yu certainly has experience in going out. Not only does she have it, but she also has a lot of experience. Xiao Yu is a smart woman, and she can quickly learn by analogy.
However, there should be some complaints and a few words should be said.
Lei Fengqi thought that it would be okay to wait until he saw Master Yu next time.
The autumn wind lifted the corners of his clothes and blew away a lot of dust. As fast as he left, he returned last night.
Gao Shan laughed at him for asking for trouble, saying that it would be nice to listen to him and not walk too fast. At the same time, Gao Shan thought that Brother Xiao Yu was going to go with him again, and he grinned to his ears.
The autumn wind picked up again, bringing comfort to all this beautiful scenery. On the other side of the official road, two carriages and several people came rushing towards me like the wind.
Miao Bao and another family member were driving the carriage. Miao Bao took three carriages out of the house, and there were three carriage drivers. Yu Cun thought that they would each have their own interests in passing through Guangyang City, so he asked Yu Wuluo to take them with him.
At this time, Miao and Bao were driving the carriage, and two carriage drivers were riding on horses, following Yu Wuluo.
Naturally, there were Hongxia and two strong women in the carriage.
The carriage is relatively large, and Miao Bao is relatively burly, but from the first moment the group of people appeared, Lei Fengqi’s eyes were firmly locked on Yu Wuluo, who was dressed in blue clothes. Xiao Yu, she was like the most blooming cluster of osmanthus in the autumn sun.
Capturing the aura of heaven and earth, taking the essence of all things, it is so beautiful that people dare not look directly at it.
Lei Fengqi laughed loudly and said: "Hi, Xiaoyu!"
Yu Wuluo was overjoyed and said loudly from a distance: "Hi, Brother Lei."
He raised his arms again and said, "Where's Brother Gao?"
"I'm here."
Gaoshan Lezizi came up from the official road, holding a thick branch in his hand, with fresh green on the branch. It can be seen that the other end of the branch was covered with soil not long after being pulled from the tree.
Gao Shan also laughed loudly: "Brother, why did you come here? I have been waiting for you for a long time."
While they were talking, the horse and carriage came in front of them. Miao Bao also smiled, and Yu Wuluo smiled even more. He played with the horse's reins and replied brightly: "I've caught up with you, that's good."
"Yes, yes. Brother Zhao, are you okay? My brother is here." Gao Shan said as he looked back down the official road, where he had just come up.
"That's good." A familiar voice answered.
Yu Wuluo didn't think about who it was for a moment, because he didn't expect anyone to follow him, so he asked curiously: "Who else?"
"Zhao Tinggong, he is smart. He left the city early in the morning and will wait for you at the Wulipupuli intersection." Lei Fengqi said.
Yu Wuluo looked at his feet and exclaimed, "You brought him back to Thirty Miles?" This is Ershilipu.
Gao Shan took over the conversation and started talking: "We fought back here from Shilipu. Brother, luckily we turned back. There was a hundred miles to go, and there were no less than five, seventy or eighty people waiting to meet you.
, we came back too quickly in a hurry, and there are three more incidents on the road ahead. They don’t care about us, so we will rush here and wait for you. There is also a group of wanderers here waiting for you, and we will solve them as soon as possible. "
Lei Fengqi wiped his cold sweat quietly, almost thinking that Gao Shan would make Xiao Yu angry if Gao Shan said something like someone had tipped him off, and he couldn't explain it clearly.
Gao Shan often speaks without thinking, but he also has another characteristic: he likes to take credit. If it is his credit, it is also his, and if it is not his credit, it is also his.
As soon as he said this, he discovered that someone was ambushing Yu Wuluo while he was on the road. Guessing that Brother Xiao Yu would leave the city later, he and Lei Fengqi hurried back just to help Brother Xiao Yu.
Yu Wuluo smiled: "Thank you, Brother Gao."
Miao Bao jumped off his horse and gave a deep salute: "Thank you, Master." When the driver and Hongxia's mother-in-law saw it, they also dismounted and came to express their gratitude.
When Miao Bao thanked Lei Fengqi, he smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Mr. Biao." Hongxia and others also said the same.
Lei Fengqi was also happy and wanted to go on the road together again. Sometimes calling him cousin was a kind of cover. He helped Miao Bao up and said, "There is no need to be polite between close relatives."
This sentence made Yu Wuluo happy.
Zhao Tinggong came up, just like Gaoshan, he also had a thick branch in his hand, one end covered with soil. He was panting and said with spring breeze on his face: "Hello, fifth brother, brother Lei and brother Gao are responsible for the work, I will bury it, they have all been laid to rest."
"ha!"
Yu Wuluo was even happier, letting the nerdy Zhao Tinggong dig a hole and bury it, which seemed to be a loss.
But with the high mountains around, it's not surprising that any kind of damage can be done. And looking at the high mountains, there are also branches dug into the earth in his hands. This can be relieved. He is not bullying Zhao Tinggong, but just has more people.
Zhao Tinggong explained a few words. The reason why he went out to follow the fifth brother Yu this time was the same as the last time. His grandfather Zhao Youlin asked him to go out to practice. What was different from the last time was that if there were no arrangements, Zhao Tinggong would also imitate Zhao Tingxiao and sneak away privately.
Follow up with fifth brother Yu.
The group of people reunited, and the little cousin proudly raised his riding whip and moved forward: "Let's go."
"Let's go," Gao Shan and Zhao Tinggong scrambled for the lead. Lei Fengqi was never careless. He stopped with a smile, watching the people and cars galloping forward, and calmly kept up.
Intentionally or unintentionally, I scanned the surroundings from the corner of my eye. There were good trees, good grass, good official roads, everything was good.
When Wulipu arrived, Miao Bao was the first to say: "There are lives in our hands."
Miao Bao also thought over and over about the Fifth Master's refusal to kill people. When he was in the Yamen of Guangyang City, he asked Mr. Chen to call out the wanted thieves who had been wanted for many years and memorize their portraits and names one by one in his mind.
At this time, there was no need to state the names of the dozen or so people. Their facial features were obvious and their eyes were fierce and untamable. A flash of lightning flashed in Miao Bao's mind. He recognized them at a glance without any nonsense.
The big black horse galloped close to the sky, and the light of the sword brought a moment of coldness, and more than a dozen people fell to the ground.
Zhao Tinggong clicked his tongue, reined in his horse and said, "Just wait for me, I'll take care of the burial."
"No need."
Yu Wuluo was next to the carriage at this time. Hongxia held paper in one hand and gave a pen in the other. Yu Wuluo wrote a few words: "This is a bad person from the Jianghu. Please report the case to the nearest Yamen." He clamped the paper on the tree beside the road and shook it.
The gap between the trees is tight and it is difficult to fall off.
"Walk."
The group of people left quickly, traveling more than a hundred miles that day and killing four groups of people.
Behind them, the big shopkeeper had already begun to mobilize the people of Ji Shan Tang, asking them to send people to the Yamen to close the cases and receive rewards, and then continued to follow.
Think about it, the new owner can make a lot of money, but the inheritance of the sect is not complete, which is really not good.
...
It was approaching the second watch, the bonfire had just been lit, no one felt tired, Yu Wu found Lei Qi beaming with joy, Lei Qi waited until Yu Wu was in full bloom, everyone had a smile on their face.
Gao Shan pulled Zhao Ting Gong and sat high up with Miao Bao on guard. It was different from the last trip. Today, Yu Wu's reputation is at its peak and there are many ways to get around, so we must be more vigilant.
Hongxia and her two women were cooking, and the three coachmen were fetching water and firewood.
On both sides of the bonfire, Yu Wuluo and Lei Fengqi looked at each other, chatting about their next trip in the gloomy atmosphere.
The firelight melted, and the two people's hearts melted.
Trust is hard to build in a day or two, but after half a year of working side by side through life and death, this kind of trust is also hard to destroy.
Being with someone you trust is a very happy thing, that is, I would like to know more about him.
"I heard that you went to Duke Yuchi's mansion?"
Yu Wuluo went straight in.
At this time, she did not doubt that Sipinghou had tipped off the news. What Sipinghou told her should have been said by Brother Lei Qi himself.
Lei Fengqi wouldn't even ask his brother where he knew it from, so why bother asking? My sister-in-law has the ability of a woman with a long tongue.
He was silent for a moment and said truthfully: "Pick up my sisters and fifth brother."
"Oh, they are guests at the Duke's Mansion?" Yu Wuluo asked curiously. In fact, she was still reserved, otherwise she would have wanted to ask where Lei Qi's family was.
Lei Fengqi looked at the small camp. The figures of Miao Bao and Gaoshan Zhao Tinggong were half hidden in the darkness. There were two campfires. He and Xiaoyu were sitting on both sides of one, and cooking was on the other campfire. Hongxia was afraid of the oil smoke.
The mist was falling, the bonfire was a little far away, and the mother-in-law and the coachman were busy there.
The bonfire divides the night into several areas, and the night covers these areas well individually.
Lei Fengqi felt the words rising in his heart. He took a deep breath and lowered his voice: "Xiao Yu, you are a good brother. You are steady, you know right from wrong, you have a deep chest and you are extremely smart."
"Hey, brother Lei, please stop it," Yu Wu's smiling eyes turned into a pair of crescent moons, but she still had reason to stop her.
Lei Fengqi looked at her seriously: "I mean, no matter what you hear, you can keep your composure, and you know the right and wrong of my words, Xiao Yu, you will not wrong me.
, you will listen to me carefully."
His extraordinarily solemn expression made Yu Wuluo become serious, his casual posture returned to straightness, and he said sincerely: "I can, Brother Lei, please tell me."
Everyone walking in this troubled world has his or her own story. Yu Wuluo instinctively thought that Brother Lei Qi had unspeakable difficulties, so he left home.
Now, his story should unfold.
"Xiao Yu, I am Lei Fengqi."
Yu Wuluo felt an invisible sap being hit on his head. There was no pain in his mind, but he was just confused.
Let her big pearl-like eyes dim, let her hearing disappear, and make her feel like she is sitting in nothingness with no one around except a fiery red bonfire and the person opposite who is looking at her quietly.
"What?"
She tried to open her mouth, but found that either she couldn't make a sound or that she couldn't hear.
When Lei Fengqi spoke again, she heard every word clearly: "I am the Lei Fengqi who was welcomed into the capital and enthroned in the rumors, and I am also the one who fell into the water and disappeared in the rumors."
Yu Wuluo gave up resisting Kongluo's sense of emptiness, and she was completely confused.
The eyes that were as bright as stars seemed to be covered with gray fog, and at the same time they lost their agility, and they were dull and dull, as if they had no consciousness.
All the wisdom is concentrated and compressed into one point in my mind, quickly shaking countless fragments of memories.
He is Lei Fengqi.
Since February, I had promised to welcome him to Beijing, but he was with me, traveling during the day and sleeping in a camp at night. When it was reported that he fell into the water and disappeared, he was also with me.
Thunder and wind rise!
He has no intention of going to Beijing and proclaiming himself emperor.
He followed him to Fan City, to Cui's house, to the underground palace, to Shunxing County Prince's Mansion, to Guangyang City to relieve the siege... Lei Fengqi was rescuing the civil strife caused by his ascension to the throne.
When he came to his senses, his anger also rose like a tide. How dare he hide himself for so long?
"Tell me, what's going on?" Yu Wuluo's face was as white as snow, and he clasped his hands together, wringing his fingers.
There was still some grievance in her expression. At this moment, she looked like a young woman who was angry and had to control her emotions.
Lei Fengqi didn't dare to look at her. With a quick glance, he could see Xiao Yu's entire mood. She was angry and aggrieved. She was angry but had to suppress herself.
He felt like a sinner.
He lowered his head and said in a low voice: "It's like this. When I received the imperial edict in the first month, my family didn't know the reason. We have been living a good life in Guiziguan Border City. Our life is not rich, but the family will live, grow old, sick and die together for the rest of our lives.
We will all be there, we feel satisfied and have no other greedy thoughts. A holy decree has hung knives over my family's heads. Either others are disobedient and want to beat us, or they disobey the imperial decree and the whole family suffers. We cannot sit still and wait for death. My father ordered the eldest brother and the second brother to
, I, the fourth brother, went to the inland to find the reason. The eldest brother and the second brother went to Beijing on my behalf. Until today, no news has come. I went to Yucheng. I wanted to find out whether Master Yu had colluded with Zhang Lin. If not, I went to the capital.
