C426 We Are Brothers
Du Qi said, "It's better to be early than late. We will go down the mountain now. Elder Ren will go to the ranch and get two horses for Brother Hu and Mrs Hu to ride. We will still walk. We will gather at the front of the market and find a way to find a horse."
Ren Dongming said without hesitation, "I will do as you say!"
Ever since they had reunited, they might have felt that life was unpredictable. Maybe it was because they were not familiar with other people, or because they did not want to disturb Du Qi's emotions. It was more like he was intoxicated by Faang Xiuhui's tenderness and honey. Along the way, hu Lai rarely spoke, even when he was resting. He was always inseparable from Faang Xiuhui, causing everyone to almost forget about their existence. At this moment, when he heard that Du Qi had ordered Ren Dongming to specially prepare a mount for him and Faang Xiuhui, he could not help but hurriedly stop him, "Virtuous brother, don't mind it. I am used to the Jianghu. I can still deal with this kind of road..." Perhaps it was because he saw Faang Xiuhui forcing herself to endure, but it was obvious that she could not bear the long trek like this. Hu Lai could not continue his words.
However, Du Qi seemed to be unaware and said apologetically, "I feel very sorry for making Brother Hu and Sister-in-law suffer for this little brother's matter for so long. This is just a token of my appreciation. Please do not decline!"
Hu Lai said straightforwardly, "Since Younger Brother has said so, it would be impolite for me to refuse. I can only accept it respectfully. Looks like it's not convenient for us to accompany Younger Brother to walk the night road again. Please allow Younger Brother to take his leave!"
Du Qi said guiltily, "Younger Brother originally did not want to be separated from Eldest Brother. It is just that the strong enemy is by my side. Younger Brother is busy with his own affairs, so I have no choice but to let Eldest Brother and Sister-in-law get involved in the Jianghu again."
Hu Lai said sadly, "I only blame you for being weak and could not help me. Now that we have parted ways, I wonder when we will be able to see each other again?"
Du Qi said, "Nowadays, the world is not peaceful and chaotic. Big brother and sister-in-law can go back and live a good life. It doesn't matter if you don't go into the Jianghu. I will definitely come and play with big brother and sister-in-law in the future!"
Hu Lai swept away the worries from just now and said happily, "Alright, when the time comes, we brothers will definitely get drunk!"
When everyone heard Hu Lai's words, they were all overjoyed. Could it be that only wine could express the feelings between people? Furthermore, if one did not get drunk, then the feelings would not really be strong?
While they were talking, they had already arrived at the foot of the mountain. When Hu Lai saw the two horses that Ren Dongming had brought over, he could not help but smile and praise, "Good horse!"
Du Qi took the reins from Ren Dongming's hands and personally led the horse to Hu Lai and Faang Xiuhui. He held back Li Chou and said with a smile, "Brother and sister-in-law, please get on the horse!"
Hu Lai also smiled and said, "Virtuous brother, you are welcome!" As he spoke, he and Faang Xiuhui almost jumped onto the horse at the same time.
Du Qi reminded, "Big brother, the person who came wanted me to be alone. They did not know about big brother and sister-in-law's existence at all, so big brother and sister-in-law can be at ease."
Dragging the reins and testing the horse's temperament, Hu Lai said happily, "Since that is the case, Virtuous brother, take care. Silly brother, you can go. We will meet again!" As he said that, he pulled the reins and flew along the mountain path as if he was flying.
Sitting on the horse and looking deeply at Du Qi, Faang Xiuhui softly said, "Thank you!" Before she could finish speaking, Faang Xiuhui had already lowered her head. Panicking, she pulled the horse's head and hurriedly chased after Hu Lai.
Seeing Hu Lai and Faang Xiuhui's gradually disappearing back view, a strong sense of loss suddenly surged in Du Qi's heart. He resisted the impulse to chase after Hu Lai and Faang Xiuhui and shouted, "Big brother and sister-in-law take care!"
Although everyone did not speak, they were all silently feeling the melancholy of Hu Lai and Faang Xiuhui leaving. They only felt that their hearts were heavy and uncomfortable.
Retracting his distant gaze with some difficulty, Du Qi decisively said, "Elder Ren, to Wutai Mountain!"
Ren Dongming did not ask the reason and only asked, "Shall we set off immediately?"
Du Qi said, "We will go immediately. We will find an inn at the front market and have a good rest."
After slightly identifying the direction, Ren Dongming said, "Please follow me!"
Du Qi did not cover the rear. Instead, he followed beside Ren Dongming and called everyone, "Everyone follow closely!"
Ren Dongming said, "Young master, do you have something to say?"
Du Qi said, "I just want to make some simple arrangements for our journey. We just need to say a few words."
Ren Dongming said, "There is a big tree on the hill in front of us. We can look into the distance and hide the sun there. We can also guard against the ears of the wall. It is the best place to talk about such matters. Why don't we go there and have a rest?"
Du Qi said happily, "That's good!"
Everyone came to the hill and looked around. It was as Ren Dongming had said. Hiding in the shade of the tree, they could not see them even on Little Yin Mountain. When Du Qi saw that the effect was so ideal, he was even happier. He called everyone to sit around him. After that, he said, "In order to find out about our situation, the enemy did not hesitate to kill those who have touched us. But we can't just wander in the mountains without making contact with anyone. I think... As long as we make a slight change, we can change this unfavorable situation "
Ren Dongming said, "Please give your orders, young master!"
Du Qi said, "I am the only target the enemy is tracking, so..."
Ma Yuxiao suddenly interrupted, "You are not going to leave us all alone, are you?"
Du Qi said, "Of course not, because the enemy knows about our situation. So, as long as we split into two paths, the enemy will not be able to grasp our true situation. Once we meet them, we will still have the ability to adapt. I wonder if Elder Ren thinks so? "
Ren Dongming said, "Young master only needs to give orders. I will definitely follow your orders. However, this way, our whereabouts will be completely exposed. I hope young master can think about it!"
Du Qi said, "Since there are already people who know our whereabouts, it is only a matter of time before we are exposed. Rather than letting them find out, it would be better for us to not hide it anymore. Perhaps this will cause the enemy to be so unpredictable that they won't dare to attack us. "
Ren Dongming said, "In that case, Young Master, please make the arrangements."
Du Qi did not give in and said," Elder Ren will bring Jinhua, Yinhua, Fei Fei and Qiuchan with him. The rest will follow me. After we go on our way, no matter where or when we go, we must pretend that we do not know each other, and we must not interact with each other. But we cannot be too far away so that we can take care of each other in the dark. "
Huang Jinhua said, "If so, wouldn't we be like strangers?"
Du Qi said, "This is the effect I want. As long as we figure out the background and purpose of this group of people, we can boldly counterattack. At that time, we won't need to put on such an act anymore."
Huang Jinhua said again, "But we know nothing about those people's situation. We don't even know how to make a move. How can we figure out their situation?"
Looh Miaoer said, "It is easy to find out where those people came from, but it is difficult to know their purpose."
Du Qi said in surprise, " Oh? Why did Miaoer say that?"
