"Now that everything is over, tomorrow I'll go to the street or the ferry and find a small job. I think I'll be able to live without worry."
Yao Fugui said, "Can you go to Sect Master Chang, the Prefect, or the Guardian and think of a solution?"
Du Qi firmly said: "Wouldn't it go against my original intention to rely on them to survive?"
Yao Fugui praised, "Good, you are ambitious. No matter what your situation is, no matter what you do, I will accompany you!"
Du Qi smiled mischievously. "Your uncle will spoil me if I steal, steal, become a robber, or take over the mountain. Your uncle, will you accompany me?"
Yao Fugui didn't hesitate to reply, "With Xiao Qi's kind heart, how could you do those things? Even if you do that, there must be a reason for you to do it, and not for the sake of your own selfish desire. That's why your Uncle unconditionally supported you! "
Du Qi was touched: "Uncle, thank you!"
Yao Fugui gave a carefree smile and said, "Hey, is there even a need for us uncles to say such polite words?"
Seeing that Yao Fugui treated him like a real family member, Du Qi was speechless for a moment. He only hugged Yao Fugui tightly, and the two of them couldn't help but smile at each other. At this point, the two of them relied on each other for life, and the relationship between them surpassed that of father and son. Outside of Xiangyang City, on the streets, in the streets, at the warehouses and wharves, the two had left an indelible trail.
Although Du Qi was left with several acres of land, he had never rented any food. Yao Fugui could barely survive on the occasional rations he had in the almshouse, but since the two of them met, he was unable to keep his appetite. The two of them, young and old, struggled to earn enough money to feed themselves, so they could only wander the streets. The two of them, young and old, struggled to earn enough money to feed themselves, so they could only wander around the streets. His family's martial arts technique was also extremely proficient. Although he had never performed it in front of others, it was obvious that his martial arts skills were not inferior to the top masters in the martial arts world. It was just that his true qi was usually restrained, so no one could see that he had some kind of special skill. Under his guidance, Yao Fugui successfully reached the first level of Foundation Establishment. He appeared to be brimming with energy and full of agility.
They both felt that the atmosphere these days was a little strange. There were a lot of outsiders outside the city, and there were many more soldiers at the gate. The inspection was also much stricter, and they were tired as they walked in long lines. Although everyone was anxious, no one dared to complain because they could see that there were several Embroidered Uniform Guards mixed in with the soldiers at the checkpoint. In fact, the Embroidered Uniform Guards rarely squatted at the gate, so it was obvious that something extraordinary had happened. But Dodge still didn't take the matter to heart.
It was already past noon when Du Qi was rushing into the city through Arch Gate. Yao Fugui chased after him while shouting, "Little Qi, wait! Little Qi, don't run! Wait for me!"
Dean shouted as he moved through the crowd. There was a commotion as the long line twisted and turned in an orderly manner. Those guarding the gate were all aghast, thinking that someone was trying to break through. When they clearly saw the situation, the soldiers couldn't help but laugh, while the few Embroidered Uniform Guards couldn't help but get angry, and the lead Embroidered Uniform Guard didn't even bother to say anything as they stepped forward and grabbed Du Qi's chest.
As he was running, he suddenly felt someone grabbing him, so he naturally dodged and flashed like a fish. At the same time, he angrily cursed: "Which bastard is tired of living and dares to grab me? Don't you dare to quickly roll over and give your butt to your father to vent your anger? Otherwise, I'll be as pretty as you! "
This was something he had never encountered before. He could not help but let out a furious roar as he was about to call out to his companions to help him capture the enemy, but upon suddenly hearing Du Qi's words, he was startled. He quickly withdrew his previous ferocious attitude and carefully asked, "Who are you?"
Du Qi turned around. He saw that the one who wanted to capture him was dressed in a flying fish outfit. It was the rude Embroidered Uniform Guard. Furthermore, it was a very unfamiliar Embroidered Uniform Guard. There wasn't a single one of them who was familiar with the resident Embroidered Uniform Guard in Xiangyang. Those Embroidered Uniform Guards' faces were full of anger, but the officers' smiles were overflowing. They couldn't help but make a face at them and cry out, "I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person. Senior Uncle, quickly come and chase me! " And then he ran into the city like a gust of wind.
The Embroidered Uniform Guard was enraged when he saw this. He ordered the soldiers and Embroidered Uniform Guard loudly, "Capture him!"
A military academy hurriedly stopped him, "Hold on! "Mister Niu, this kid's surname is Du Ming. Do you really want to capture him?"
After hearing that the young man in front of him was the legendary Du Qi, he couldn't help but roll his eyes, pretending to be magnanimous as he said, "It's more important to do proper business first. We can catch him when we have time." As he spoke, he suddenly saw Yao Fugui wanting to slip past him. Unconsciously, he raised his leg and kicked towards Yao Fugui.
Yao Fugui knew that Niu Jianchun was about to kick him, but he didn't dare to dodge, so he let the kick hit his butt. Yao Fugui knew that Niu Jianchun was about to kick him, but he didn't dare dodge.
Seeing that Du Qi had turned into a dark alley and stopped, Yao Fugui patted the dust off his body as he rubbed his butt and said exaggeratedly, "Aiyo, his butt was kicked into two and I was able to run so far. "What kind of world is this? To dare to lay his hands on an old man without a shred of respect, this must have caused my butt to suffer greatly."
Du Qi resisted the urge to laugh and said, "My dear uncle, why are you lying on the ground when you have something to do? Is it fun to lie on the ground? "
Yao Fugui lightly knocked on Du Qi's head and scolded him, "How fun are you, you brat. If you didn't stir up trouble, would my respected old man's butt have been easily kicked by that day?"
Dodge giggled. "What kind of trouble? They can just barge through the streets in a fit of rage and not let me run around barefoot on the streets? "To be honest, don't get too carried away with yourself. You're old and already old. Other than the word 'noble' in your main account, I don't think you need it in any way."
Yao Fugui also laughed, "Good kid, you actually dare to make fun of my name. It would be strange if I didn't rip you apart and skin you alive." As he spoke, he made a show of grabbing Du Qi.
Du Qi had already jumped up with a shriek and ran away. He then laughed, "Come, come! Let's see what kind of ultimate move you have that can catch up to me."
Yao Fugui also let out a strange cry as he chased after Du Qi, shouting, "If you have the ability to stand, then let's give it a try and see if I won't beat you until you beg for mercy."
Du Qi laughed. "If you tell me to stand, then I'll stand. How disgraceful of me will I be? "If you have the ability, then come chase me and give it a try."
Yao Fugui said, "If you tell me to chase after him, won't I lose even more face? I'm not going to chase them anymore! " He slid down the alley wall and sat in a comfortable position, ignoring Dodge.
Du Qi turned his head around and saw Yao Fugui sitting on the ground. He also hopped back and sat beside Yao Fugui, looking at the people hurrying back and forth on the streets. Suddenly, he became stunned, as if he had fallen into deep thought. Seeing this, Yao Fugui laughed, "Brat, are you still thinking about the little girl we met at the pier?"
Du Qi did not seem to have heard his words as he said worriedly, "There have been a lot of Embroidered Uniform Guards and factory guards in the past two days. There are even some strangers whose origins are unknown. "Oh, those poor people!" She then laughed and said, "Who cares about him? Don't talk about him. That young lady is quite pretty, especially her eyes. They sparkled so brightly that they almost brought my soul out. They look like martial arts are pretty good. If I could get them to be my little daughter-in-law, it would be fine."
Yao Fugui scoffed, "Just stay here and daydream. Other people wouldn't even look at you. Giving you two pieces of money is like throwing trash. You're like avoiding a plague god, fleeing back to the boat. Are you still here?" What's the use of having no taste? He even got his soul out of his body. As the saying goes, the big eyes are dull, and the small eyes captivate the soul! If you meet a big eye like that who's lost in thought, then what happens if you meet a small eye that's truly bewitching? "
Du Qi said, "If you don't know how to appreciate women, then don't randomly cover up, okay? As long as your eyes are small, wouldn't that be fine? Wouldn't it be better for you to ask a woman to half close her eyes for your admiration, or to simply make a blind person? What's so special about that little girl now? She's only thirteen or fourteen years old. When she grows up, she might become ugly. When the time comes to beg, I might not want her. "
Yao Fugui said, "You little rascal, you already understand? Do you think all the women in the world must marry you if they can't? At least I'm still waiting here to beg you? Who do you think you are? "
Du Qi narrowed his eyes at Yao Fugui, "You're so old that you can't even move, yet you still want to get married. Even a blind person can't helplessly marry you, and you still want to compete with me? Do you really think you have a chance? Oh, I almost forgot. You're the one who likes blind people the most, so I won't argue with you anymore, hehe! "
Yao Fugui said angrily, "I was just thinking, why? I've been thinking about this for most of my life, what can you do to me? "Besides, how can you just stand there and watch? Aren't you talking nonsense?"
Du Qi replied, "I'm too lazy to bullsh * t with you. If I knew where that little girl had gone to, I would have never seen such a good-looking little girl before. Thinking about it now, my heart is in a mess."
Yao Fugui looked deeply at Du Qi and tried to persuade him as if it was the first time he knew him, "Brat, wake up. You aren't even sixteen yet and you're already thinking of your wife. "When you are sixteen, I will send you to the reddest girl in the Spring Breeze House so that you will not think you have come to this world in vain."
Du Qi quickly said, "Do you think I can't marry a wife like you? Is there a need to find a girl in the Spring Breeze Academy? "
Yao Fugui agreed, "That's right, that's right. Who is our Young Master Qi?" "As long as …"
Dodge suddenly put his right index finger to his mouth. "Shhh!" A loud voice interrupted Yao Fugui's words, "Wu Fangtou, what are you busy with?"
Yao Fugui followed Du Qi's gaze and saw a tall and sturdy man in his thirties, wearing a round hat, a full body suit, and soapy boots walking over. He recognized Du Qi as a resident factory guard in Xiangyang City, and his surname was Wu Dafang. When he heard Du Qi's words, he laughed and said, "Ai, what can we be busy with? Isn't it all the same? How can we be as relaxed as you, Young Master Du?"
Du Qi said, "There's something unusual going on these past few days. What's going on?"
Wu Dafeng looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he whispered in Du Qi's ear, "This time, the chief assistant and the Commander of the Imperial Secret Service have issued an order, using our east factory, the Imperial Secret Service, and the yamen to search for a group of instigators. It is said that a rather important instigator has arrived in our Xiangyang, two days ago, the Imperial Secret Service and our factory guards have all sent a Hundred Household Master, each bringing more than fifty brothers.
"Who's so important to you that you have to work so hard?"
Wu Dafeng hesitated slightly, but it seemed even more mysterious. He whispered, "She's the daughter of a great general, don't tell others that I was the one who said that."
Du Qi's heart tightened for no reason and asked anxiously, "Since she's the Grand General's daughter, how did she become the criminal? How old is she?" How did you come to be with us? "
Wu Datao looked at Du Qi strangely and smiled dubiously, "Who knows, she's about the same age as you, Young Master Du. "Why haven't you come to our yamen to play these past few days?"
Du Qi suddenly felt his heart thumping hard. He thought, "It can't be her, right?" Naturally, she was referring to the young lady that he had met by chance at the dock and had been secretly tempted by her. However, he said, "I was just about to go. Seeing that you guys are so busy, I'll come to your place later to get some food."
Wu Datong nodded. "I have to go. I'll come back another day to play with you." After which, he hurriedly left.
Looking at Wu Datong's retreating back, Yao Fugui said, "It can't be that much of a coincidence, right?" Apparently he had the same idea as Dodge.
Du Qi patted his chest and said, "Who cares? Let's go and do some serious work."
Yao Fugui had no choice but to stay silent. They came to the other end of the alley and hid in the corner. They kept looking at a small pawnshop across the street, and when they saw that no one was around, they quickly slipped inside.
Seemingly aware that someone had entered, an old scholar wearing reading glasses lifted his wrinkled face from the counter. His yellow gaze swept over the two of them, and the wrinkles on his face thickened. He lazily said, "What other broken objects do you have for me to see?"
Du Qi carefully took out a jade-green pipe from his clothes and handed it over to the old man. The old man fiddled with it for a while, his eyes shining from above his glasses onto Du Qi's face. He slowly asked, "This thing will be, where did you get it from?"
