C75 He Said Goodbye
Lin Xiao Liang said, "When I went back from the west gate to inquire about the situation and passed by the General's Estate, I saw that the royal family led a large group of people and hurriedly rushed out. He followed behind him and wanted to take a look at the lively scene, but who knew that he would see his junior brother display his might. Even that old fellow Wang Guoqiang has to act according to Junior Brother's wishes. "
Du Qi sneered." This little brother is merely borrowing someone else's words to take advantage of the situation. What's there to show off about? What's so unusual about the west gate? "
Lin Xiaoliang said, "The chief of the Emerald Sky Stronghold, Soong Ping, has brought more than twenty thousand people and is shouting outside. He claims that he wants to attack the city, but after a night of struggling, there was not much movement. Now, all of them have retreated."
Du Qi said, "Senior, do you know why the residents in the city suddenly ran out of the city last night?"
Lin Xiaoliang said, "This seems to be a scheme that Soong Ping used to pressure the city guards."
Du Qi said again, "Senior brother, have you learned alchemy?"
Lin Xiao Liang seemed to be stunned when he heard this and sighed, "Father taught me some basics when I was free, but I did not learn the entire alchemy method."
Du Qi said, "Senior brother, are you still interested in learning alchemy skills now?"
Lin Xiao Liang smiled and said, "Junior brother, are you going to teach me alchemy techniques? I'll tell you honestly, I was originally father's adopted son. Initially, father had intended to teach me the Pill Cauldron Sect, but I didn't think that he would waste his entire life for the Pill Cauldron Sect. That's why I can't accept it. I don't have any thoughts of learning the skill of alchemy. "
Du Qi said, "Then what do you plan to do, senior brother? What are your intentions?"
Lin Xiaoliang said with disappointment and excitement, "Think about it, there is no place for us to go. We can only live in the four seas and be at ease when we meet. When we arrive, I won't accompany you back. Take care, junior brother!"
Du Qi knew that he could not keep him, so he could only say, "Take care, senior brother. We will meet again in the future!"
Lin Xiaoliang seemed to be reluctant to part with him and said, "We will meet again in the future!" But before he could finish speaking, his figure had already disappeared around the corner of the street.
Watching Lin Xiaoliang walk away, he could not help but feel sour in his heart. For a moment, his thoughts were in turmoil and he was filled with mixed feelings. However, he did not know what his heart felt like. After a long time, Du Qi finally suppressed all kinds of emotions and returned to his calm state of mind. He used his spiritual sense to sense that there was no one watching him, and then ran back into the house through the small window. He opened the door of the secret room and walked in. As soon as he stepped onto the stone steps of the secret room, he heard Qin Xin shout, "Who is it?"
Du Qi stood on the stone steps and answered, "It's me. Is Xin awake?" Hearing his voice, Little Lan lit the candle with a flint stone. The secret chamber immediately lit up.
Qin Xin shouted, "Wake up? There is nothing inside, how can we sleep when you tell us to? Why did you go out for so long before coming back? What news do you have? If you don't tell us quickly, will you wait for us to ask?"
Du Qi smiled and said," There is a piece of good news and a piece of bad news. Which one do Xin want to hear first? "
Qin Xin shouted, "Don't keep us guessing. Tell us both of them."
Du Qi smiled and said, "No more." He suddenly asked Little Lan, "Little Lan, do you know where Young Master Qin Qi is?"
Seeing Du Qi asking her about seventh brother, although Qin Xin was dissatisfied with Du Qi's attitude, she held back and did not interrupt. Little Lan said, "I don't know!"
Du Qi said again, "Do you know where Shen joined the army these few days?"
Little Lan thought about it and said, "He seems to have been to the east gate a few times. He said he went to see someone. As for who exactly he met, I don't know."
Du Qi said, "I understand. Xin, come out quickly. We have to leave this place immediately."
Qin Xin said, "You are the one with more ideas. There will be a trick later and you still haven't told us the news you brought back. Now you are telling us to leave this place immediately. Do you think we will listen to you?"
Du Qi smiled and said," I thought Xin wanted to see Young Master Qin Qi very much. It turns out that I made a mistake. My Xin doesn't want to see him. That's good too. I haven't slept all night. Let's go and sleep first. "
Du Qi said as he turned around and left the secret room. He walked upstairs. Qin Xin suddenly landed in front of him like a gust of wind and blocked his way. She said with a smile, "I was playing with you just now, we will listen to you. She immediately left this place. Little Lan, hurry up and pack your luggage. We are about to leave."
After sealing the entrance of the secret room, he looked around again. His eyes were full of reluctance. Du Qi said with melancholy, "Although I have been thinking of leaving this place all the time, but I am really about to leave now. I am also a little reluctant to leave."
Qin Xin also said sadly," Yes. Although we have suffered here before, we are carefree. Looking at everything in front of us, we really do not want to leave just like that. Du Qi, let's stay for a few more days before we leave, okay? "
Du Qi stretched out his right arm and put it on Qin Xin's shoulder. He gently hugged her on his right chest and comforted, "Silly Xin, no matter how long we stay here, we will leave this place sooner or later. We will face this moment."
Little Lan also advised, "Yes, Miss. Young Master Du is right. Let's go."
Qin Xin let out a sigh of relief, but she still weakly leaned against Du Qi's side. She smiled and said, "I was just casually saying. Do you think I really want to stay here? Let's go. Don't frown like your soul has fallen out. If others saw it, they would think that I bullied you. " Qin Xin spoke as she hugged Du Qi and squeezed out of the shop.
Du Qi reluctantly let go of Qin Xin and turned around to lock the door and make some notes. He brought Qin Xin and Little Lan out of the east gate. Along the way, he saw that the residents who escaped from the city last night were all over the mountains. Most of them fell to the ground and could not sleep. There were also some people who saw that there was no war and were preparing to return to the city.
Seeing this chaotic scene, Qin Xin leaned against Du Qi like a frightened deer and said timidly, "Du Qi, where are we going?"
Du Qi smiled and said, "I heard that there is a large ferry in front. There are many human traffickers there. I only take in pretty girls. My Xin is so pretty. I think it can be sold for a lot of money. Now I don't have any money to use. I can only bear with the pain and send my Xin there to exchange for some money. "
Qin Xin smiled and said, "Are you willing to?" As she spoke, she seemed to unconsciously break a tender branch as thick as a finger from a willow tree by the road. When Du Qi did not care, she suddenly turned her head around and whipped Du Qi.
Du Qi laughed and dodged unhurriedly. But he said seriously, "What's there to be reluctant about? When I really have no money to use, I will even sell myself."
Seeing that she did not hit Du Qi, Qin Xin threw away the willow branch in her hand angrily. She stomped her feet and said, "Damn Du Qi, you only know how to bully me. You still want to run away with a cheeky smile. Can't you let me gently whip you?"
Du Qi shouted, "You are still gentle. If I did not dodge quickly and did not get a bloody wound from you, it would be strange. When did my Xin become so vicious?"
