Xiaoyue heard the sound and ran out of the door, took a look, and immediately fainted: the little guy had a bronze helmet on his head and stilts on his feet, which was taller than Liu Xiaoqing, and he was holding a wooden Qinglong sword in his hand, majestic like an actor on stage.
I heard him pretend to say: "The commander is wearing armor, so I can't dismount to greet him, please forgive me, sister."
Xiaoyue was angry and laughing, and hurriedly saluted Liu Xiaoqing: "Please forgive Liu Qishao, my brother is young and ignorant, and he has caused you a lot of trouble." He raised his head again and shouted: "Don't come down quickly!"
"Obey the order!" Shangguan Qi's body floated, passed Xiaoyue and fell to Zhao Cheng, shrank his head, and showed a pleading face.
Liu Xiaoqing immediately spoke up: "Xiaoqi is lively by nature, don't be too strict as a sister."
Zhao Cheng also helped: "My brother has not done anything wrong, he has been practicing martial arts with the Seventh Young Master for the past few days, and he has not gone out to play much. It's rare to come to Guangzhou, why don't the seventh young master accompany Master He and Miss He out for a walk."
Shangguan Qi's eyes burst into tears: "What are you playing? I grew up and didn't know how to write play."
Xiaoyue is so angry, if he doesn't know how to write the word "play", no one in the world knows!
Liu Xiaoqing on the other side couldn't bear to say with a look on his face: "Miss He, I understand the truth that jade cannot be carved into a tool, but sometimes you have to relax, the strings will break if they are too tight. Let's go out for a walk, Guangzhou is so big, Brother Shangguan won't know. Why don't you change your face? He is only this old, he is handsome, and no one can tell that he is a little girl."
Shangguan Qi immediately "pear blossoms with tears" and said timidly: "Brother Liu, don't say it, sister is angry."
She thought that the unpopular young master Tang had not been able to pass on the true inheritance of the official family, and only practiced some martial arts to strengthen her body, so she would think about getting a boat to take him to the south bank that night. But looking at what he just did, it was no problem to dive across the Pearl River. Thinking that he was stunned by this kid, he said hatefully: "I want to go home and play! I won't care if I go home and poke a hole in the sky! How can I explain something to you here?"
Shangguan Qi burst out with tears and snot, and cried so hard: "Why do you have to say it so plainly? You don't want me, I already knew! Brother Liu, can I follow you?" You won't want me, will you?"
Liu Xiaoqing's heart hurt, thinking of her unfortunate childhood, and dragged Shangguan Qi over: "Let's not cry! A man bleeds without tears! Xiaoqi, Brother Liu's kung fu is ordinary, my Brother Zhao is very good, can you worship Brother Zhao as your teacher?" ——I want to save the unfortunate He Xiaodi from the sea of suffering.
Shangguan Qi lay down on the ground: "The master is above, please accept the bow of the apprentice Xiaoqi!" There were three kowtows.
Zhao Cheng looked embarrassed and beat him for thinking that he was an earthling, refusing to return to his father's family, and other high-level beings followed one after another. He didn't have much energy to take care of the affairs of the Xueyi Sect, and he still accepted Xiao Maotou as an apprentice? It's not that I haven't grown into a carefree years that no one cares about before, I can play slowly with Liu Xiaoqing.
I had the intention to return the ticket, looking at the two living treasures, one big and one small, and I couldn't say anything if I refused. After thinking for a moment, I had an idea, why did I work hard for myself? Whoever makes it will do it! Xiaoqing is a contemporary big brother who teaches apprenticeships. So he looked at Xiaoyue and said: "Miss He, Young Master He has a very good foundation, and he doesn't dare to say that practicing martial arts is a rare material. But I don't know what you think?"
Xiaoyue was stunned on the spot, even more difficult than Zhao Cheng. Is the young master of Xindaotang a family of families, or was he brought up by a widow, how can he apprentice without reporting to his mother? The little devil is now pretending to be the son of the He family, and the eldest sister is his mother, what should I do? After hesitating for a while, he and Zhao Cheng worked the same way and kicked the ball to the other person: "What a blessing to be able to worship Zhao Daxia as a teacher! But you can't be so hasty, wait for Xiaoyue to return to the young master, and then make good arrangements."
********************
Shangguan Qi, who succeeded in his trick again, dressed up as a little maid and followed Liu Xiaoqing and He Xiaoyue to visit Xiguan.
This maid was bigger than the young lady, pointing and pointing, bought a bunch of miscellaneous items that were not suitable for her daughter's house, and ordered the young master and lady to carry them, and ate them while walking.
The carriage arrived at another courtyard, and the servants rushed to report: "Master Shangguan is here."
Liu Xiaoqing hurriedly ordered his servants to lead Shangguan Qi through the back door, and he and Xiaoyue rushed to the front hall.
It was not only Shangguan Fei who came, but also Chen An and Lun Wenqian. Shangguan Fei opened his mouth and said: "Xiaoyue, Xiaoqi is here, right? This is a letter from my aunt to you."
Zhao Cheng explained with a smile: "I have already told Brother Shangguan about Xiaoqi, and Brother Shangguan has already agreed."
Xiaoyue secretly complained, just now she was dazed by the little ghost, but she forgot to tell Zhao Cheng, and finally passed through the state. Liu Xiaoqing on the other side smiled: "Xiaoqi is a good boy, I like it! Big brother, you can't learn from Miss He in the future, such an old child is so tight that you treat him like a goose?"
Xiaoyue had already unfolded the letter, and a beautiful word jumped into her eyes, and the letter was very short, only a few lines -
"Niece Xiaoyuexian: A few days ago, I asked my master to come to the house to tell me about the strange thing, and I am very relieved. Qingyuan is the Beijiang Fortress, in this troubled time, as the daughter-in-law of the Shangguan family, I should stay here for a long time, and Fei'er's virtuous nephew should also guard Yunzhou for a long time. The blood of the virtuous mountain has not dried, and the strange child can stay with the virtuous niece for a long time, which is the Shangguan family. Qi'er lost his father at a young age and was stubborn, and if his niece could not marry, he hoped to treat him as a brother. Liu Shihuijuan bowed."
This is tantamount to a lonely letter, Xiaoyue's hands trembled slightly, and she looked at Shangguan Fei with tears: "Please rest assured, young master, Xiaoyue will protect you with your life!"
Shangguan Fei was relieved: "Xiao Qi is young, it is inevitable that there will be many shortcomings, so I will have to take care of you more in the future, and Zhao Daxia will discipline more. Call him out, I have a few words to tell him."
Shangguan Qi's appearance was like a big girl getting married, and he followed the servant to the front hall without squinting, looking at his serious face, completely like a young man from a well-behaved family.
I saw him bow respectfully: "Xiaoqi meets the young master and the master."
Shangguan Fei glared at him: "This is how the master worships? Bully the teacher before you get started! Answer me, what is your name?"
Shangguan Qi raised his head and his stomach straightened: "Back to the young master, Xiaoqi apprenticed under the name of Xiaoqi. My name is ...... Sister Xiaoyue, what is my name?"
********************
On the same day, Shangguan Fei set up a table of apprenticeship wine at the Dadongyuan Restaurant, and knelt down nine times with his naughty cousin, becoming the founding apprentice of the magic sword Zhao Cheng.
After the banquet, he took Master Zhao as a little living treasure, held hands with his big brother Liu, and ran away happily.
Zhao Cheng was happy to be relieved, and he had something important. At the end of the night, seven people gathered in a single courtyard in Dadong Garden: Situ Lei, the deputy leader of the Beggar's Gang, Wu Yazi, the elder of Wudang, Zhitong, the host of Lingyin Temple, Du Meimei, Zhao Cheng, Chen An, and He Xiaoyue.
Wu Yazi first spoke: "Master Zhitong has been with the poor Taoist for more than 30 years, commonly known as Xu, and is the brother of Xu Zhongshu, who was exterminated by the Xueyi Sect sixteen years ago. Please tell Master Zhitong about the drug investigation situation in Hangzhou."
Zhitong nodded and said: "There are no poppy fields in Hangzhou, it is used as ornamental flowers to be planted in the courtyards of the people, and its fruits are used to worship the Buddha. This custom has been around for more than ten years, and no one can tell how it came about. The temple is the first temple in Hangzhou, and it has received the most poppy fruits. Because it is an ordinary painkiller, I put it in the warehouse after getting it, and I didn't pay much attention to preserving it, and I threw away a batch every year after the bad rain. After knowing that it was highly poisonous, the old monk went to check it, but saw that there were only poppies newly harvested in the past ten days in the warehouse. From this, it can be inferred that the poppy fruit thrown away in previous years is not a real fruit. The original Guanku monk passed away ten days ago, and at that time he thought he passed away normally, but now it seems that the Guanku monk should have been poisoned. According to the symptoms of poisoning with poppy poison, he is an addict. In addition to him, there was another addict in the temple, and the old monk did not alarm him. I am worried that there are other disciples in the temple who are deeply hidden, so the old monk can only go to Guangzhou in person this time."
Situ Lei added: "Similar to the situation of Lingyin Temple, there are also Hangzhou Grand Temple Yunfeng Temple and He'an Temple, because there is my eyeliner in the temple, so I did not alarm the host, who knows if the host is a disciple of Xueyi? Hangzhou is an important port, and in view of the situation in Guangzhou, our gang feels that it cannot be reported to the government, and most of the poppies that grow poppies and harvest poppies are innocent people."
Zhao Cheng said: "It's a poisonous trick, it's easy for us to kill poison, we fell into a poisonous scheme in Guangzhou! The Sun family claimed that this herb was worthless, so the locals destroyed it and replaced it with seasonal vegetables of the Sun family. The locals heard the news and came to ask for seeds, and in a short period of time, they eradicated fifteen places. Can this method be used as a reference?"
Chen An said: "The Ye family in Yunzhou did a more clever job and took the opportunity to take away the old nest of Xueyi Gate in northern Guangdong. Can you come up with a clever plan to hook out the Xueyi disciples in Hangzhou?"
Du Meimei smiled and said: "I have an idea. Now that the Jin people are eyeing the Central Plains, Xueyi Men jumped from the invisibility to the front desk, as if he was ordered by the Jin people. Hangzhou poppy is dedicated to the Buddha, can the Buddhist and Taoist families join forces to act in a play? For example, use poppy fruit to pray for blessings for front-line soldiers. Xueyi Men may pop out with a quick look."
Wu Yazi's eyes flashed: "Good plan! Flowers and fruits are blessings, and they must be planted and sacrificed! If someone hides privately, it is disloyal to the Song Dynasty. **Teacher, Situ Benefactor, we have to rely on the government in this battle, Hangzhou Qingcheng offering flowers and fruits is the official achievement, they will definitely work hard to do this."
Situ Lei grinned and said: "It's just an ordinary herb, take it out and offer it, it doesn't hurt people's livelihood, it's much better than paying those harsh taxes, and it won't be difficult for the people to accept it."
***********
The poppy harvest in Hangzhou was in mid-July, and in June, Xueyimen tried to destroy the Sun family in Hepu, but was met by a large number of natives from Guangxi and Hainan. For the locals, the Sun family is their God of Wealth, and it is normal to help the Sun family. What was more surprising was that the notorious Hainan Five Poisons Sect actually charged forward and killed all the Xueyi disciples on both sides of the strait. It seems that they plan to be land lords and are not willing to accept the promotion of the Jin people. After this battle, until the fall of the Jin Dynasty, the Jin forces did not set foot in Hainan again.
