(37) Brotherhood
(37) Brotherly affairs
"Yeah!" Wang Xiaoya nodded slightly.
At Zhao Hu's request, Wang Xiaoya asked not to speak out for now. Zhao Hu continued to monitor the village chief. Anyway, Zhao Hu just wanted to know a place from the village chief, so Wang Xiaoya left like nothing happened, leaving Zhao Hu alone on the roof of the village chief's house to endure the cold wind. Soon, Wang Xiaoya took the clothes to change them for Zhao Hu, and asked Zhao Hu to find a place to dry his clothes.
It was not until the morning when the clothes were dry and the village chief slept quietly all night, and Zhao Hu didn't monitor anything, so he went back to Old Man Wu's house.
When Zhao Hu saw Bai Yunqi, he wanted to tell the matter out, or ask Bai Yunqi to borrow some money to marry Wang Xiaoya, because he knew that Bai Yunqi would not stay here for a long time.
Bai Yunqi flew all the way and soon arrived at the village chief's home. At this time, Bai Yunqi discovered the disadvantages of the day. It was still dark and windy at night. This sentence was correct when killing and setting fire.
It is not a big deal for Bai Yunqi to hide and monitor. It is not a problem on the mountain. There are people living a little far above the village chief’s house. As long as someone comes out there, you can see Bai Yunqi at a glance.
With just one finger and shouting "Catch the thief", Bai Yunqi couldn't stay in the village. She sighed. Bai Yunqi had to turn back to Old Man Wu's house. Before returning, she saw Wang Xiaoya in the morning. She said with a little surprise, "I didn't expect there were still a few beautiful girls in this mountain." She left without caring much.
"Brother Qi, I went out so early! Is Brother Hu back?"
As soon as he entered the door, Old Man Wu had already gotten up, and few people in the mountains could sleep in the morning bed.
Bai Yunqi smiled and nodded: "Well, I'm back, I'm sleeping in the house, and ran for a while in the morning."
Old Man Wu began to wash his face in the yard and said, "Haha, no wonder you martial arts people are so good. It's a pity not to hunt. By the way, after breakfast, we will go to Lao Wang to ask. Seeing how he looked yesterday, I will definitely know, otherwise I wouldn't say nothing without thinking. This old guy, just ask a place, will he get angry?"
The following words no longer seemed to be saying to Bai Yunqi. Bai Yunqi didn't mind. After breakfast, the two of them went to the village chief's house. As soon as they entered the door, Wang Xiaoya brought two cups of tea: "Young Master, Uncle Wu, have a cup of tea first! Grandpa has something to do when he goes to Qian Village, and he will be back soon."
The two of them didn't say much, just sat there drinking tea and chatting. Soon, the village chief came back.
"Hmph, what are you doing again? I said there is no such place, don't you believe it?" The village chief sat down at the table in anger and poured a cup of tea on his own.
"Old Wang! Don't do this! People come from afar, but if you ask about the place, you won't suffer any losses to you. Just tell them, and say nothing without thinking. Everyone knows that you don't want to say it anymore!" Old Man Wu did not go around the bush and went straight to the point with the village chief.
"I said no, but it's not. It's useless to ask again. Xiaoya, I'll take the guests away!" The village chief waved his hand and was about to enter the inner room, but Wang Xiaoya said, "Grandpa! If you know, just tell them! Isn't grandpa usually teaching Xiaoya and helping others as the basis of happiness?"
The village chief glared at Wang Xiaoya and shouted: "What do children know? Save guests!"
Wang Xiaoya immediately lowered her head and looked at Bai Yunqi helplessly. At this time, Old Man Wu also said, "Brother Qi, you go back first! I will grind him again, this old boy..."
As he said that, Old Man Wu chased the village chief and Bai Yunqi had to get up and prepare to leave. Wang Xiaoya followed behind timidly, and only apologized when Bai Yunqi was about to step out of the door: "I'm sorry, young master! My grandfather... that..."
"It's okay, is there anything wrong?" Bai Yunqi turned around and looked at Wang Xiaoya. Wang Xiaoya was really pretty in the morning, but this didn't make Bai Yunqi have anything worth appreciating and praising, but I thought to myself, maybe Wang Xiaoya knew it or not.
Before he could say anything, Wang Xiaoya's face was flushed with shame, which made Bai Yunqi quite puzzled, but Wang Xiaoya still asked: "Why is that... Hu... Master Hu?"
After saying that, Wang Xiaoya turned around, looked at the ground, and kept rolling the corners of her clothes with her hands.
Bai Yunqi was stunned, as smart as he thought of something immediately, and he couldn't tell that Hu Zi had such charm, which made the little girl fall in love at first sight. He couldn't help but smile and said, "What's wrong with him? What? Does Miss Wang have something to bring to him or something else?"
"It's fine...it's fine, it's fine!" Wang Xiaoya was so nervous that she was laughed by Bai Yunqi, and she ran away as if she was running away. Bai Yunqi walked back to Old Man Wu's house.
When Zhao Hu went back, he had not woken up yet, so Bai Yunqi had to practice slowly in the room. It was not until noon that Zhao Hu woke up.
"Brother Seven!" As soon as Zhao Hu woke up, he saw Bai Yunqi who was exercising his skills. However, Bai Yunqi was using it at this time. How could he say that a pair of thief eyes stared at Zhao Hu up and down with malicious intentions.
He looked at Zhao Hu very embarrassed. Zhao Hu looked at himself and said, "What's wrong with Brother Qi? I... I have nothing, right?"
Bai Yunqi nodded symbolically and blinked, saying vaguely: "It's nothing, but when I came out of the village chief, the girl Wang Xiaoya called me!"
"Ah!" Zhao Hu opened his eyes wide and said anxiously: "What did she say?"
Bai Yunqi held back the smile in his heart and looked at Zhao Hu with a very interesting teasing look. Zhao Hu immediately realized his disobedience, and then calmed down and said, "She...has she said?"
"What did she say?" Bai Yunqi vaguely guessed in his heart that 80% of the two people had something special happened to them yesterday.
"Ah, didn't Brother Qi say she called you?" Zhao Hu said in confusion.
"Yes!" Bai Yunqi nodded.
"Then didn't she say anything to Brother Qi?" Zhao Hu began to find out the direction.
"What do you think she will tell me?" Bai Yunqi continued to test.
"That... I just asked Brother Qi!" Although Zhao Hu wanted to say it in his heart, he was a little difficult to speak verbally.
Bai Yunqi finished his work, stood up, looked at Zhao Hu with a smile on his face and said, "Tell me! What happened to you and Miss Wang Xiaoya last night? If there is a place where Brother Qi needs to come forward, Brother Qi will not help."
Zhao Hu hesitated for a while, and finally revealed the matter. Bai Yunqi said after hearing this: "In this way, it seems that you are going to marry her. To be ashamed, it is not good for Brother Qi. He has either fought everywhere or been busy with state affairs for so many years. Otherwise, he would only care about marrying his own wife and having children. No one of you considers the matter of getting married. If you want to, the other party has no objection. Brother Qi will help you get the marriage done and find the Flying Dragon Ridge. You will take Miss Wang Xiaoya back to Duliang. I can only do the things here by myself!"
"Brother Qi, how can this be done? You are alone..." Zhao Hu wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Bai Yunqi: "You need to say nothing, if you want to follow me, unless you can beat Brother Qi, otherwise I will be enough in this kind of place alone! Although Brother Qi dare not say that he is the best in the world, he really encounters danger. I am afraid that there are not many places in the world that can trap me!"
Bai Yunqi was telling the truth. Zhao Hu knew that his martial arts skills were much worse than Bai Yunqi, so he had to accept Bai Yunqi's orders silently. As he was talking, Old Man Wu was back.
"Brother Qi, Brother Qi!" Old Man Wu started shouting before he even entered the door.
"I won't say much. As long as you find out the location of the Flying Dragon Ridge, you will go to the village chief's house to propose marriage. It is possible that Brother Qi will go with you. It doesn't matter if you need it." Bai Yunqi left the room first after saying that, and Zhao Hu also started dressing and getting up.
Seeing Baiyunqi, Old Man Wu rushed forward and said with some breath: "Brother Qi! That... where the Flying Dragon's Ridge is..."
"Slow down, don't worry, uncle!" Bai Yunqi said.
After taking a short rest, he breathed evenly. Old Man Wu continued, "I still don't have the ability to ask about your place, but I'm sure Lao Wang knew, but he didn't want to say it, and he didn't know what was going on. Alas! I can't do it anymore, so I have to come back first to see if you have any other ways to let Lao Wang tell you."
"It's okay, take it slowly! There will always be a settlement. Maybe this place is special to the village chief, it takes some time! Thank you so much for the hard work, and I feel a little sorry for you." Bai Yunqi comforted.
After comforting, Bai Yunqi became a little impatient. It was not a big deal to be in this way. There were many things in the Chaoli and Jiezhou. Although he couldn't say he was waiting for him, he was a little worried. Anyway, he knew the location, so he might as well go back first and then send someone to inquire about it here. There was always something to find out.
After making up his mind, Bai Yunqi decided to leave after lunch, and then asked during the meal: "Uncle, I wonder if the village chief's granddaughter is betrothed by someone?"
Old Man Wu was stunned for a moment and asked without answering, "What? Brother Qi is interested in someone?"
Bai Yunqi smiled, but Zhao Hu on the side turned red. Bai Yunqi said, "It's Brother Hu who fell in love with Miss Wang Xiaoya at first sight. As his friend, he also serves as his father and brother. He wants to help him get along. I wonder if there is hope?"
Old Man Wu pondered for a while and said, "I haven't heard of Xu any other family, but this little granddaughter is very well-behaved. Lao Wang likes it very much, and she looks like a flower. Many people around him have mentioned the man, but Lao Wang didn't agree. Xiao Ya's parents are dead, only one grandfather and a few uncles. The whole family likes her very much. Brother Qi and Brother Hu are from other places, so it's even more difficult.
Bai Yunqi frowned, "I don't know what special hobbies and preferences the village chief has. We can also give some gifts that suit. Maybe once he is happy, the marriage will be done."
"Well... I didn't pay attention. Old Wang lives a leisurely life and doesn't have anything that he particularly likes or doesn't like. It's difficult... it's difficult..." Old Man Wu shook his head gently, making Zhao Hu frown on his side.
Bai Yunqi glanced at it and couldn't help but say, "Uncle, I'm not invisible. My name is not Qi Bai and Hu Zhao. Because I was away, I had to use this pseudonym. This is not an ordinary person, but Zhao Hu, the commander of the Chinese Imperial Guard. Now that we can't find our friends, we will go back to Duliang. Since Commander Zhao now has a favorite person, he wants to do this soon... Uncle, uncle, uncle."
Bai Yunqi secretly pushed Zhao Hu and made Zhao Hu straighten up. Old Man Wu, who was standing beside him, had already been shocked and had come back to his senses for a long time. He was about to doubt it, but if he wanted Hu Zhao and Zhao Hu again, he might be really a first-class official. He had heard that Zhao Hu had dismantled a bully in his clothes in his face. Old Man Wu did not dare to doubt it, and then stood up and knelt on the ground: "Caomin..."
"Uncle, you don't have to do this. Commander Zhao came in contempt and didn't want to disturb others." Bai Yunqi immediately lifted up Old Man Wu and said.
Old Man Wu looked at Zhao Hu who was standing aside with some fear and still incredulously. Suddenly he remembered the rumor that there seemed to be an emperor. He looked up at Bai Yunqi who helped him up and stuttered: "You... can't, can't you be the emperor!"
Qi Bai, Bai Qi, Bai Yunqi was named Bai Qi before becoming emperor. Everyone knows that Old Man Wu hurriedly wanted to kneel down: "Wu... Wu Hua sees... see the emperor... the emperor."
Bai Yunqi helped him up and smiled and said, "No need to be polite, uncle doesn't have to be polite, it's good that uncle knows, don't show off everywhere, but this marriage..."
"One... I will definitely go to Lao Wang and ask the location of the Flying Dragon Ridge, and help... help Lord Zhao get this... this marriage." After saying that, Old Man Wu staggered and bumped outside.
Bai Yunqi didn't stop him and shook his head secretly. This matter is really...
"Emperor, I..." Zhao Hu had already knelt down beside him. He knew that Bai Yunqi had revealed his identity for him, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
Bai Yunqi helped Zhao Hu up and said, "It's nothing. If you do this, we will go back to Duliang first. The matter of Feilong's Ridge, and then send someone here. Deheng Money House. Even if his wealth is really rich, he still has no military power. He has given him great sincerity by coming in person, and it's enough!"
People have limited patience, and Bai Yunqi spent a lot of effort on this Deheng Money House in the past. When he received the news about the boss of Deheng Money House, he was overjoyed. He thought the Flying Dragon Ridge was easy to find, but now most locals don’t know this place. The only one who knows it, but he refuses to say that Bai Yunqi is not a tyrant and will not force people. He always feels in his heart that he is being played with. He is angry and just too lazy to pay attention to these things.
"Let's go! Let's go to the village chief's house and achieve success. If we fail, we will go back to Duliang later and ask a matchmaker to show our marriage. Three books and six rituals will help you handle this marriage in a grand manner. First, declare that if Miss Wang Xiaoya doesn't want to marry you, Brother Qi will have no choice. As long as she wants, this matter will be accomplished."
"Thank you, Lord, Long!"
