C21 He Was Secretly Moved

Du Qi looked askance at Yao Fugui and said, "You are so old that you can't even move. You still want to marry a wife. Even a blind man can't marry you without doing anything. You still want to fight with me? Do you think you still have a chance? Oh, I almost forgot. You like blind people the most. Then I won't compete with you anymore, hehe!"

Yao Fugui said angrily," I just want to. What's wrong? I've been thinking about it for more than half of my life. What can you do to me? Besides, I'm blind, so how can I just watch? Are you talking nonsense? "

Du Qi said," I don't want to talk nonsense with you. How nice would it be if I knew where that little girl went? I've never seen such a beautiful girl before. Now that I think about it, my heart is in a mess. "

Looking deeply at Du Qi, Yao Fugui seemed to know him for the first time and advised," What? I think Miss Xiaoyue is much prettier than her! I say, kid, wake up. You are not even 16 years old yet. You are already thinking about your wife. You are still thinking about things that are beyond your reach. This is not going to end well! When you are 16 years old, I will take you to the most popular girl in the Spring Breeze House to have some fun. Otherwise, you will feel that your trip to this world is in vain."

Du Qi quickly said, "Pooh, pooh, pooh. Do you think that I can't get a wife like you? Do I need to go to the Spring Breeze House to find a girl? "

Yao Fugui agreed. "That's right, that's right. Who is our young master Qi? As long as... "

Du Qi suddenly raised his right index finger and put it by his mouth. "Shh!" He interrupted Yao Fugui's words and shouted, "Wu Fantou, what are you busy with?"

Yao Fugui followed Du Qi's gaze and saw a man in his thirties. He was wearing a round hat and a uniform. He was wearing a pair of shoes. He recognized him as a factory guard who was stationed in Xiangyang, and his surname was Wu Mingfa. Although he was just an ordinary man, Du Qi was used to calling him that. When he heard Du Qi's words, he smiled and sighed, "Ai, what can we do? It's just those few matters. Unlike you, Young Master Du, who is relaxed and at ease? "

Du Qi said, "Many new faces have come in the past few days. What exactly is going on?"

Wu Dafa looked around and saw that there was no one around. Fang Qi whispered into Du Qi's ear mysteriously, "This time, the First and Third Division of the Embroidered Uniform Guard's Command Contract issued an order. We, the East Factory, the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and the various offices will work together to investigate a group of imperial offenders. It is said that a rather important imperial criminal has arrived in Xiangyang. Two days ago, the Embroidered Uniform Guard and our factory guards have sent a Lord from the Hundred Households. Each of them has brought over fifty brothers, and more than twenty Third Division officers with them. There are still several hundred guards on their way here. It seems like the higher ups are determined to get it this time. "

Du Qi asked in surprise, "What kind of person is so important that you guys have to go through so much trouble?"

Wu Dafeng hesitated slightly and appeared even more mysterious. He said in a soft voice, "It is the daughter of a former Great General. Don't tell others that I am the one who said it."

Du Qi's heart tightened for no reason when he heard this, and he anxiously asked, "Since she is the daughter of a Great General, how could she have become a criminal? How old is she? Why is she here? "

Wu Dafa gave Du Qi a strange look and said with an ambiguous smile, "Who knows? She is about the same age as you, Young Master Du. Why haven't you come to our yamen to play these few days? "

Du Qi heard this and felt his heart beating wildly. He thought, "It can't be her, right?" She was naturally referring to the little girl whom he had met by chance at the dock. She had secretly moved his heart and he could not forget about her. However, she said, "I was just about to go. Seeing that you are so busy, I will come to your place to freeload in a few days."

Wu Dafa nodded and said, "Welcome, Young Master Du! Now I have to go. I will come and play with you another day. " After saying that, he left in a hurry.

Looking at Wu Dahe's back, Yao Fugui suddenly said, "It can't be such a coincidence, right?" Obviously, he had the same idea as Du Qi.

Du Qi patted his chest and said, "Who cares about him. Let's get down to business."

Yao Fugui had no choice but to stop talking. The two of them went to the other end of the alley and hid in the corner. They kept looking at a small pawn shop on the street. Seeing that there was no one around, they quickly slipped in.

As if knowing that someone had come in, an old man wearing glasses and looking like an old scholar in the pawn shop raised his wrinkled face from the counter. His yellow eyes swept across the two of them and the wrinkles on his face became thicker. He lazily said, "What kind of lousy thing is there to show me?"

Du Qi carefully took out a jade pipe from his pocket and handed it to the old man. The old man played with it for a while. His eyes shot out from the top of his glasses and shone on Du Qi's face. He asked slowly, "This thing is still passable. Where did you get it?"

Du Qi said confidently, "I borrowed it from an old customer. I have money to redeem it."

The old man sighed. He took out a piece of five-dollar silver and said, "I want you to redeem it as soon as possible."

Du Qi glanced at the piece of silver and said without moving, "You want to get rid of a beggar? Don't think that you are the only one in Xiangyang who knows what is good for you. You need at least ten taels of silver."

Bu Shiren thought for a while and exchanged for a small piece of silver worth one or two taels. He said with certainty, "That's all. Why don't you take it somewhere else and see if anyone would be willing to give you so much."

Du Qi said helplessly, "I guess you are very good. Can you give us some more for dinner?"

Bu Shiren smiled bitterly and grabbed a small silver ingot that was about half a coin. He handed the small piece of silver to Du Qi along with it. Du Qi took the silver without waiting. He put the silver into a small bag with a copper coin and carefully hid it close to his body. He cheered and ran into a small alley with Yao Fugui.

Yao Fugui chased after Du Qi. His eyes were full of splendor. He said with emotion, "I didn't expect that thing to be so valuable. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have gone to his place to exchange for it."

Du Qi sighed dejectedly. "Sigh! You have to know how we got that thing. Apart from Bu Shiren, where else would we have the face to exchange for it in the entire Xiangyang?"

Yao Fugui also sighed and said, "Yeah, I'm really embarrassed to go to other places to exchange for it."

Du Qi silently walked forward, and Yao Fugui could only follow him without saying anything. The two of them turned out of the alley and came to a small street. When they saw the scene in front of them, they were both shocked and felt strange in their hearts.

This small street had always been sparsely populated, but now it was filled with people. When they took a closer look, they saw that these people were all soldiers, Embroidered Uniform Guard, factory guards, constables and government officials. Hundreds of people formed a long line on this narrow street and swept across, immediately stirring up a cloud of dust. It caused a huge commotion and a lot of complaints. The few pedestrians were so scared that they hurriedly hid under the eaves of the street corner. The households hurriedly closed the doors and windows.

Du Qi and Yao Fugui also hurried back to the alley. They saw the stream of people swimming in front of them like a long dragon. They heard the messy but rapid footsteps. They were all shocked by this powerful momentum.
