go away!Don't attack me!

Chapter 25

Yun Qi walked all the way, and the guard named Chang Shan explained it all the way, until Yun Qi said, "Remember to drink a bowl of decoction to dispel the cold when you go back", and then realized that he was covered in cold sweat and was blown by the cold wind outside , the bone-piercing cold.

If he doesn't want to get sick, the best choice at this moment is to go back quickly, change into dry clothes, and drink a bowl of ginger soup, but he thinks he has caused a catastrophe, so how dare he throw Yun Qi on the street again, compared to his master's What the hell is he getting a little cold?

Not daring to talk any more, he led Yunqi towards Yiyelou.

"Yiyelou" is the largest and best teahouse here, but in this kind of cold weather, no matter how good the teahouse is, there are not many customers. When the pot of tea is served, it will be completely cold in a while, so what's the point of drinking it?It is unrealistic to prepare a stove for each table to keep warm, but not only is there a stove in the private room, but also a special tea doctor waits on it.

It's just that no matter how cold the business of the teahouse is, seeing a young man in coarse clothes and sackcloth who doesn't look like he can afford tea comes in with a dog in his arms, the waiter can hardly become enthusiastic, and is about to drive him out with a cold face. He was dazzled by Chang Shan's ingot of silver that came in afterwards.

Chang Shan waved back the man who was going to guide them, and led Yunqi upstairs, and when he arrived at the door of the private room, he knocked lightly on the door, and when he heard Liu Qin's slightly hoarse "come in", he gently pushed He opened the door, made way for Yun Qi, and closed the door behind him after he entered.

Liu Qin was the only one in the private room, squatting halfway by the stove fanning the fire. Tea was boiling on the fire, and the steam was so steaming that people could not see his face clearly.

Hearing someone coming in, Liu Qin said without raising his head, "You came just in time, the tea has just been brewed."

He brought the tea to the table, motioned Yun Qi to sit down opposite him, and began to divide the tea. Although his movements were a little stiff, it was quite similar, and finally he put the poured tea cup on Yun Qi In front of him, he raised his hand and said, "Please."

Yun Qi pushed down the little fat man who was unwilling to be lonely, took a sip from the teacup, put it down and said: "The tea is not bad, the craftsmanship is too poor."

He will settle for everything in this life, but in the 24 years he lived in his last life, he lived the most exquisite life for 23 and a half years. Naturally, this tea is fine for drinking, but it is too bad for food.

Liu Qin was not embarrassed either, he laughed at himself and said, "Fortunately, it was in front of you that I showed my ugliness for the first time, otherwise I would be flattered and I would lose my self-knowledge."

Yun Qi didn't speak.

He is not a fool, how could he not feel Liu Qin's repeated favors to him?This kind of goodwill can only affect Yun Qi's attitude towards him, but it cannot affect Yun Qi's perception of him.

Once upon a time, that woman named Gu Yaoqin had been gentle and considerate to him for ten years, she had personally experienced everything with meticulous care, but in the end when the benefits were gone, she showed such a ferocious face.

I only heard Liu Qin say again: "My method of making tea is not good, but there are a lot of good tea in the house, Yun Qi, you are an expert, when you arrive in the capital, I will ask you to help taste it, so as to save the trouble in the future Laugh at the Fang family."

Yun Qi shook his head and said: "I'm used to drinking the wild tea that my seniors picked in the mountains. No matter how good the tea is, I just think it's 'just enough', and I can't tell if it's good or bad... Can you speak directly, Fourth Highness? I'm still in a hurry Go back and make medicine."

Liu Qin smiled wryly to himself: Is this young man ignorant of the world, or is he accustomed to the world, which makes his tried-and-true dating methods useless on him.

It is such a distance that is neither far nor close, no matter what, it is difficult to take a step closer.

Knowing that making more detours would only disgust the young man, Liu Qin stood up, walked slowly to the window, turned his back to Yunqi, and then said in a deep voice: "Master Yun, you know, this king almost died in the fire yesterday ?”

Said, pushed open the window.

What caught my eye was not the blooming wintersweet tree as imagined, but the ruins after the fire.Seen from a distance in the ice and snow, the dazzling black looks like an ugly scar, or like an urchin scribbling heavy strokes with thick ink on the white paper.

Liu Qin stretched out his hand and said, "Last night, I lodged here with 17 people, me, sixteen bodyguards, and four criminals. People like us are always alert at night, and we have someone on duty. But when the fire broke out, everyone fell into a deep sleep, and finally one person woke up with a start, kicking the cold water in the basin onto the bodyguard guarding him, and the bodyguard splashed the others awake... It's just that the fire in a few rooms was too large, Can't get close at all..."

"Last night, among the sixteen guards I brought, two were seriously injured and six died."

He looked up at the sky, took a deep breath, and said in a low voice: "My close bodyguards were all chosen by my father when I was 14 years old, and they have been by my side for ten years. ... I dare not say that I treat them like brothers. After all, the word "brother" is a joke in the royal family, but I regard them as the most amiable and trustworthy people around me.

"But among these people, twelve died in the battle at Kudu Temple, and six more died tragically today... within half a month, fully half of them have gone."

The prince who never let go of his smile in front of others, his voice was hoarse and tired at the moment, with a tingle of pain.He suffered setbacks repeatedly, dangers abounded, and the people around him suffered casualties. It was true that he, Liu Qin, was incompetent, but it was also because he had never cast doubt on these people.

Not to mention the ten years of friendship, he thinks that he has nothing to owe them, but he only cares about the benefits. Since the day they swore their allegiance to him in front of the emperor, they have shared weal and woe with him and connected their families together. Xiaodu is under his control, if he dies due to external forces, these guards will be buried with him no matter whether they have anything to do with him or not—what reason do they have to betray him?

But the fact is right in front of his eyes, he can't help but believe it.

During the battle on the Kudu Temple Mountain Road, more than 100 people in their itinerary knew that, except for those who died on the mountain, anyone could be a spy.Then when the brigade returned to Beijing, some criminals were suddenly poisoned, which further proved this point. That's why he took twelve of his most trusted guards and escorted four criminals who spared their lives and cooperated more than anyone else. Returning to the capital secretly... But who would have thought that the spy would be brought by his side.

Liu Qin closed his eyes, put his hands behind his back, and regained his composure: "Mr. Yun, I know how dirty the dispute between us is in your eyes. As you said, we didn't lose our peaceful life. Right, we just want more... But we are born in the clouds, Yun Qi, we don't have the courage to jump into the mud and let others trample on us... For me, such a choice is more difficult than fighting hard .”

Yun Qi still didn't speak.

Everyone has their own choice, and it is not right or wrong that can be rudely judged. For example, people drink water and know whether they are warm or not.

"Young Master Yun," Liu Qin said in a deep voice, "I know you don't want to get involved in this matter, but ever since we were attacked in Dongshan, Kudu Temple has been involved... Do you think I, Liu Qin, died when I returned to Beijing? On the way, you people from Kudu Temple, will you stay out of the matter just because you parted ways with me?

"Okay, let's take a step back, even if you don't care about your father's anger, or whether you will have a hard time in the capital...then don't you care about the 24 innocent people who died last night?

"I know that the fire last night was only caused by me. These people were implicated by me. I didn't think about getting rid of myself completely. But Yun Qi, have you ever thought about it? If the fire starts from a family, it will spread no matter how fast , burnt two at most, even if other people can't put out the fire, there is time to escape, right? But why did 24 people burn to death?

"Because of those people, we are not the only ones who want to burn to death from the beginning to the end. He wants to use a big fire to cover up the cause of my death and destroy the evidence.

"Do you know that there were six fires at the same time last night, and we were not the only ones who were drugged. Do you know that if we hadn't rushed into the fire to save people and wake them up, How many people will die last night? How far will the fire spread?

"Mr. Yun, even in the Buddhist sect, there are angry-eyed Vajras who subdue demons. Shouldn't these beasts be punished?

"I know, I've never been a good person, but compared to those people, I, Liu Qin, am at least a human being!"

"Yun Qi..." Liu Qin's voice was weaker than ever before: "Help me."

Looking at the glaring blackness in the plain white world outside the window, Liu Qin felt that he had exhausted his whole life, but there was no response from behind him from the beginning to the end. He laughed at himself and was about to wave his hand to let the boy behind him go away , in order to retain a little bit of dignity, but heard a familiar, clear voice: "So those people will be arranged to the station, is that what you mean?"

Liu Qin smiled bitterly and said, "Yes."

Yun Qi let out an "oh" and said again: "How do you want me to help you?"

Liu Qin turned around slowly, looked at him and said, "I don't know."

I don't know... Yun Qi raised his head speechlessly: You are the prince, do you want to be so naive?

Did you ask someone you don't know well for help without thinking about anything?

Seeing Yun Qi's expression, Liu Qin smiled wryly again: How could he not know that he is being ridiculous? God knows why he thought this young man could help him, or maybe it was because the young man used a small snowball to solve the almost problem. The scene of the howling cold wind that killed him left a deep impression on him, making him feel that no matter how difficult the problem is, it is not a big deal in the hands of the young man?

But it's good to see him, even if this young man may not be able to help him, he is absolutely trustworthy. It's not bad to be able to vent the anger in his heart like this.

Yun Qi said: "Then what do you want me to help you with?"

If you don’t know how to do it, you should know what to do, right?

Fortunately, Liu Qin didn't say "I don't know" this time, otherwise Yun Qi would have turned around and left: "Find the spies, bring the criminals, and return to Beijing alive."

Yun Qi gave a "hmm", and bowed his head to the little chubby who couldn't stand it any longer.

Liu Qin said again: "I have already handed over the booklet to Jingli, and my father will send someone to take over the prisoner soon... At that time, I will have nothing to do."

Yun Dian nodded and said, "So the only thing that needs to be solved is to find out the spies?"

Liu Qin smiled bitterly: "Yes."

As long as you find the spies, it doesn't matter whether you continue on your way or hide them on the spot.

Yun Qi let out an "oh" and didn't speak again.

Liu Qin also fell silent, quietly looking at the boy sitting across from him, teasing the little milk dog in his arms. The boy lowered his head and couldn't see his face clearly, but his eyelashes were very long.

A strange feeling suddenly rose in his heart, and a thought flashed across: Maybe, he didn't really think that this young man could help him, nor was he really desperate, he just... suddenly wanted to see him, that's all.

Liu Qin turned his head to look out of the window, and said casually: "I heard that your facial recognition technique was taught by Master Duhai, is it possible..."

Yun Qi interjected: "Do you want me to use the technique of physiognomy to help you identify the spies?"

Liu Qin turned around: "Can't you?"

Yun Qi said: "No."

Although the voice was not loud, the tone was decisive, and there was absolutely no room for turning back.

Liu Qin frowned and said, "So you can actually do it, right?"

Yun Qi gave a "hmm" and said, "But it can't."

It was easy to do, but he refused so simply, Liu Qin couldn't help feeling a little angry, and said in a deep voice, "Why?"
