Chapter 34

send them. "

Mu Jiuping wiped his face, "Don't worry, the boss."

After entering the county town, Lei Yun and Lei Zhen drove the car into a warehouse. Xiao Qi took Lin Qing and Lin Qian to change cars and left the city through the back door. Shang continued to follow behind Xiao Qi, sending off two stalking tails on the road, Qi Shaoshang looked at the waist card that was turned out and frowned, "Huangcheng Division?"

After Taojin Xiaoqi met with Deng Shifang who came to pick him up, the two changed horses and took the child to the Yellow River. Qi Shaoshang followed for dozens of miles and found no one following him, so he turned back to Leijiazhuang.

It took him more than two days to go back and forth, and when he returned home, he was covered in dust, reported to Mu Jiuping that he was safe, and hurried to see Gu Xichao.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Gu Xichao standing under the tree, with his face raised slightly in the morning light, and he was lost in the direction of the eaves. When he heard the sound of footsteps, he turned around and recognized that it was Qi Shaoshang, and said to him, "You're back?"

"Well," Qi Shaoshang came over and stood beside him, and said, "Send it to Taojin, Lord Deng Banner came to pick it up."

Gu Xichao hummed, "Banner Deng once took Xiaoqi from Jiangnan to avoid the imperial army's pursuit and escaped smoothly. I am relieved to have him to support me."

Qi Shaoshang looked at him, thought for a while and didn't take out the badge of the Imperial City Secretary, and didn't want to add trouble to him, so he asked, "I saw you in a daze when I came here, what were you thinking?"

"Did you miss me?" he joked.

Gu Xichao said, "There is a nest of swallows on the beam, and there are two chicks in it. The swallows went out last night and did not come back. The two chicks cried all night. I wanted to find something to feed, but I was afraid that I would not see the bruises. But," he turned his head and smiled at Qi Shaoshang, "no need now, that swallow is back, listen."

Qi Shaoshang raised his head and saw that there was indeed a swallow's nest on the beam. Standing in the yard, he could just see the bright yellow beak of the young bird, which was waiting to be fed with its mouth open.

He felt inexplicably sad, and said, "When you were in Shenlong Bay, there was also a nest of swallows in the yard where you were recuperating. They were chirping. I was afraid that I would disturb you to rest, so I moved the nest of swallows to Xiao Qi's place later."

Gu Xichao said, "I didn't pay attention, maybe Lu Li's medicine hurts too much, I didn't hear it."

Qi Shaoshang raised his hand, took a step forward and slowly hugged him in his arms, gradually tightening it, as if he couldn't be sure if he was really still there without doing so, "What do you want, what do you want, I will Go find it for you, I will do it with you, don't worry about swallows."

Gu Xichao was startled at first, and when he heard his words, he patted his back and said, "I'm fine, I'm fine."

Qi Shaoshang said, "This is not my original intention."

Gu Xichao comforted him, "I know, I caused too much trouble and I can only hide for now. After a few years, the emperor's anger subsides and those notices are withdrawn, and we can go out for a walk."

Qi Shaoshang asked, "Do you like kittens and puppies? When I came back, I saw Lei Ting holding two of them. They looked pretty good. Let me catch one for you?"

Gu Xichao shook his head, "I don't like it, you should let go first, if the boss is free, why don't you play chess with me?"

Qi Shaoshang let him go and said, "Play chess? How?"

"If you can't play blind chess, you can find a side chess." Gu Xichao said.

"Okay, I'll go find it, you wait for me."

He went to Mr. Niu in the school to look for chess pieces. Mr. Niu was in class. When he saw him coming, he greeted him and said, "Did Hero Qi come to see me?"

Qi Shaoshang said, "Do you have chess here, sir?"

Mr. Niu said, "Yes, I'll get it for you."

When he came out with the chess box, Mr. Niu asked him, "Why is Qi Daxia suddenly so interested in playing chess?"

Qi Shaoshang took it over and said, "I don't really know how to play chess, I'm afraid he will be too bored by himself."

Mr. Niu said, "Young Master Gu?" After thinking for a while, he said, "Play blind chess? I've only heard about it but never seen it. If Qi Daxia doesn't mind, can I go and see it after school?"

Qi Shaoshang said, "I can't ask for it."

After school that day, Mr. Niu went to watch Qi Shaoshang play chess again. On the way, he met Mu Jiuping who came back with Lei Yun from his tour of the village. He greeted them both, "Do you want to go and watch Qi Daxia play chess?"

They are the only people in the entire Lei Family Village who know that Gu Xichao is in the village. As soon as he mentions Mu Jiuping and Lei Yun, he knows where he is going. When he was about to refuse, Mr. Niu said to Lei Yun, "Hero Qi invites Lei Zhen's ah Mother has made a lot of youth groups, I want to take them along the way, Lei Yun is here to help?"

Lei Yun looked at Mu Jiuping excitedly, "How about we help?"

Mu Jiuping glared at him, and the three of them carried the youth group through the maze and entered the yard. Before seeing anyone, they heard Qi Shaoshang calling, "Wait! I'm not going here anymore, go back and back. "

The three of them entered the room following the sound and saw Qi Shaoshang thinking hard about the chessboard. When they saw Mr. Niu arrived, they hurriedly pulled him over and said, "Sir, help me to see if there is any other rescue on this chessboard?"

Mr. Niu and Qi Shaoshang frowned and thought hard together. Lei Yun looked at the chessboard while eating the box of green balls. He saw the sunspots sparsely scattered, and he looked like he was dying. He said to Mu Jiuping, "Brother Mu understands." ?"

Mu Jiuping didn't understand, but he also knew that there was no one who regretted playing chess so much. Seeing Qi Shaoshang and Mr. Niu regretting every two moves, he thought, isn't this bullying the blind?

Qi Shaoshang also boasted to Mr. Niu, "Don't go, don't go, regret it, let's regret it a few more times, and when he can't remember the mess, we will win."

Lei Yun almost spit out with a puff while eating the green ball, Mu Jiuping turned his face away in disbelief.

Gu Xichao said calmly, "You can regret chess as you please, it is impossible to win."

Qi Shaoshang said unconvinced, "I don't believe it anymore, Lei Yun, steal his son!"

After Lin Qing and Lin Qian left, Mu Jiuping's place suddenly became empty, and there was no sound of children talking and laughing, which made him very uncomfortable, so that sometimes he couldn't sleep at night.

In order to make up for this emptiness, he dragged Lei Yun over. Lei Yun couldn't sleep after eating too much green balls at night. The two were lying on the bed talking, and Mu Jiuping suddenly asked him, "Do you think Xiao Qi said that he cherished you that day?" Is it true that Chao is the Mingjiao who went for the head of the family?"

Lei Yun thought for a long time, and said, "I don't know, elder brother never told me this, but Xiao Qi never tells lies, what he said is either true, or he wouldn't tell it at all."

Mu Jiuping said, "You really trust this Mingjiao boy."

Lei Yun said, "Of course, he is my friend."

Mu Jiuping curled his lips, thinking that before the head of the family also said that Gu Xichao was his friend, Gu Xichao hadn't just tricked the head of the family around.

"If he really went to Mingjiao for the head of the family, why would he?"

Mu Jiuping remembered seeing Gu Xichao tonight, and for some reason suddenly didn't hate him that much, maybe because he was blind, or because he locked himself up, or because Leijiazhuang owed him So much money?

Besides, even if he hated and couldn't kill him, with the protection of the big boss, his life now is no different from being in jail... Although he didn't want to admit it, what Xiao Qi said that day was still in his heart.

"Maybe it's because he still regards big brother as a friend. Xiaoqi said that even if he is a friend, he might kill him, but even if I want to kill him in the future, he will still remember that I am his friend."

"But I won't kill him."

The young man rolled over and sat up, "Brother Mu, I...I poured blood on my brother but it didn't work. Lu Zuoshi said he didn't get a Gu."

Mu Jiuping scratched his head, "Are you really splashing?"

The boy looked confused, "I splashed it, and when I splashed it, I killed the medicine for Gu Xichao's eyes."

"Ah," Mu Jiuping poked his arm, "then he doesn't hold grudges against you?"

Lei Yun shook his head, "He said he didn't apologize to me for killing my family, and I don't have to apologize to him either."

Mu Jiuping was silent for a while, then said, "He still knows what he has done."

Lei Yun pursed his lips, "Why did the big brother like him when he was so bad?"

This kid said everything without restraining his mouth, Mu Jiuping's eyes darkened, and he said with a headache, "How do I know, lard must have fooled my heart."

"But he's still a man..." The young man finally had a chance to express his doubts, and asked while grabbing Mu Jiuping.

Mu Jiuping kicked him away and covered his head, very upset, said, "What do you care about them, anyway, the Lord Xi is married!"

Seeing that Mu Jiuping ignored him, the boy lay down and put his hands under his head, looked at the tent and thought in his heart, "I don't know where Xiao Qi has gone, has he returned to the village?"

……

In a game of chess, the two regretted more than 100 moves before conceding. No matter how good Gu Xichao's memory is, he can't stop someone from making trouble all the time.

Qi Shaoshang saw that he was a little tired from pressing his forehead, so he took his hand and said, "If you don't win, you will admit defeat. I won't laugh at you, so why make yourself so tired."

Gu Xichao withdrew his hand and said to him, "The master."

"Huh?" Qi Shaoshang sat on the side and picked up chess pieces from the jar, and looked up at him, "What's wrong?"

"Where's your face?"

Qi Shaoshang laughed, "I don't want it, I didn't want it a long time ago." He kissed him on the eyes and said, "Lu Li didn't say anything about your eyes...I think he looked for you several times before leaving. "

Gu Xichao said, "He told me that the mistletoe plant was dead, but he reassured me that he had asked someone to bring a letter home and asked his sister to send someone to help him find it."

"He said that even if he can't find it, he still has a second way, which is a bit dangerous."

Qi Shaoshang said, "His sister?"

Gu Xichao nodded, "Well, the head of the family may not know, and Lu Li seldom mentioned it to others. He is not from the Central Plains. He was born in southern Xinjiang, and his father is the biggest chieftain in southern Xinjiang.
