Dodge sneered. "Who wants to go? Who says I'll go when I'm sixteen? It's obviously because I want to go but am too embarrassed to say it. You keep using me as a crank, and still pretend to be serious. "

Yao Fugui said, "What fake righteousness and genuine scripture? This is a moment of truth. Besides, if I were to go, who would be afraid of me spouting nonsense?" Only you, brat, have so many schemes, do you want to go or not? "

Dodge jumped up, changed his clothes, and shouted, "Go, go, how can you not go out? Wearing the gang uniform is a bit of a shock to the world. It seems like we'll have to wear new clothes and order. We'll go out for a good meal first. "

Yao Fugui also hastily changed into his best clothes. Seeing that Du Qi was about to leave, he called out, "Wait, I can't outrun you."

"Hurry up! If we wait any longer, we won't be able to eat."

Yao Fugui hid the stack of silver bills in the straw at the corner of the wall and said angrily, "Why are you panicking when you only know how to push? This is not the time to be anxious. "

When the two of them reached the main street, they saw that the street lights were flashing. It was bustling with people coming and going. Arriving at the center of the city, Du Qi looked around at the restaurants and asked Yao Fugui, "Uncle, where should we go for dinner?"

Yao Fugui laughed, "What do you want to eat? "Don't be so formal with your words, it makes my teeth sour. You know I love to eat Yang Chun Noodles the most, so I'll eat two bowls of it myself!"

"The Yang Spring Noodles is indeed a good thing. I didn't dare to think about it before, but today we don't need to rush to eat it. We need to get two side dishes first. We'll have a drink together."

He licked his lips, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said with some difficulty: "It's been a long time since I've had a drink, and now that you've brought out the Liquor worm, I'd like to get some to satisfy my craving. However, you're still too young to drink, so we might as well make two simple dishes to try it out."

Du Qi refused to comply and found a restaurant that wasn't too big. He forcefully dragged Yao Fugui in and a waiter quickly put on a smile. He then came forward and greeted, "Oh, it's rare to see Young Master Du here. Please take a seat upstairs!"

Even though the waiter said that, he didn't show any intention of letting Du Qi pass. Du Qi already aimed for an empty table in the corner and said with good intentions, "You go and busy yourself. We'll take a seat over there."

The waiter was still standing in front of Du Qi, with a professional smile on his face. He lightly said, "May I ask what Young Master Du wants to eat?"

Although he was not happy, he did not show it in his heart. He took out one or two taels of silver and threw it into the hands of the waiter as he smiled, "Don't think that laozi is here to eat for free. Take this first, four dishes and a pot of wine.

The waiter weighed the silver in his hand. After confirming that it was true, he put on an indistinguishable smile. He politely and enthusiastically led the two inside and found an empty table for them to sit at.

As the dishes and wine were served, the two of them wolfed them down without a care for their image. Although it was the first time in Du Qi's life that he had drunk wine, he could still drink with Yao Fugui, repeatedly calling out "Awesome!"

In just a few moments, all the food and wine on the table had been swept away. Before he could react, he saw someone rushing over and shouted from afar, "Young Master Du, Coach Wan requests for you to see him immediately."

Du Qi was surprised to see that the man was the recently separated Xie Xiang. He walked to the door and asked, "It's Uncle Xie, do you know why Helmsman Wan is looking for me?"

Xie Xiangfa looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to them. He moved closer to Du Qi and whispered in a voice that could only be heard by Du Qi, "I'm not too sure about the specifics either. It seems like there is something that I need to discuss with Young Master."

Du Qi didn't dare to delay any longer. He passed the rest of the silver and money to Yao Fugui, and immediately went to meet with him.

Wan Changqing was already waiting in a small side room. When he saw Du Qi, he quickly said: "Sir, please forgive this subordinate for disturbing you, but I have no other choice. Please do not blame me, Young Master."

Du Qi thought, "What did you tell me after you said that? Since I agreed to let you be my minister, I will naturally listen to your arrangements, so he said," Branch Lord Wan, don't blame yourself. Please give me your instructions. "

Wan Changqing hurriedly said: "This subordinate does not dare, originally, I would like to report this matter to Sir tomorrow and ask you for your decision, but it is an urgent matter and we must set off tonight, so I would like to presume to ask Sir to come."

"What is it?"

Wan Zhangqing said: "It is a mission to escort our guest to a faraway place, and our guest has requested that Young Master accompany him. If Young Master is not willing to go, then this subordinate will reject your offer."

If that's true, Dodge thought, why did you come to me and give me a sacrifice? He said lightly, "Do you know the identity and background of that customer? Where will he go?"

Wan Changqing said, "He's the butler of a big family in the capital. He said that he's returning to the capital."

"When exactly do we set out?"

Wan Zhangqing said: "If Young Master is willing, we can depart now after meeting our guests."

Du Qi said, "After I leave, can I trouble Branch Chief Wan to take care of your uncle?"

Wan Zhangqing hurriedly said, "This subordinate will not dare slack off, Young Master need not worry."

Du Qi and Xie Xiang Fa followed Wan Chang Qing to a large hall, where there were already many people. Du Qi was led by Wan Zhangqing to the seat of honor, and was seated there. Only then did he have the time and mood to survey the situation in the hall.

Sitting next to him was a young man with six golden hooves embroidered on his chest. He looked even more imposing than Wan Changqing, who sat next to him.

Sitting on the chair opposite him was a pretty girl about thirteen or fourteen years old. She was wearing a pair of pale yellow pants. Dodge's eyes widened at the sight of her face, and his heart beat even harder. She was the beautiful little girl he had seen at the ferry and never forgotten. There was an old scholar sitting beside her, and the moment Du Qi saw the old scholar, he couldn't help but be shocked. It was the fat sheep that he and Yao Fugui had followed sneakily this morning, and there were five men sitting right next to him. Du Qi recognized the five of them as the famous bodyguards of the Xiangyang Escort Office, and the one leading them was called Fang Zhengming.

Du Qi noticed that the little girl had been looking at him with a smile that was not really a smile. He thought to himself, "Could it be that this little girl has taken a fancy to laozi, so she's secretly playing some tricks to bring laozi home?"

As Du Qi was thinking, he suddenly heard Wan Zhangqing say, "Due to the urgent matter, we have to leave at night, so we have to hurry and invite everyone over to discuss the matter."

The old scholar said, "I request that Division Chief Wan assign each of your tasks. We will deal with the rest when we are on our way." Although he tried his best to appear calm, Dodge could see that he was extremely anxious. Until now, he still didn't know what was going on, so he couldn't ask.

Wan Changqing said solemnly: "We have three people: Deus Du Qi, Patrol Officer Liu An, and Supervisor Xie Xiang. All missions will be arranged by you." The five escort guards from the Xiangyang Escort Office were the other bodyguards hired by the old scholar. Their tasks were naturally arranged by the old scholar.

Du Qi guessed that the old scholar was the steward of some wealthy family in the capital. He did not know who the girl was, but he knew that all he needed to do was to follow the horse carriage.

The girl sat in the carriage, which was driven by Prime Minister Xie, and the rest of the party rode with her. They passed through the gates just before the night ban and rushed out of the 'Arch Gate', heading for the pier.

As he walked along the familiar road, he suddenly felt very strange. In the dim moonlight, he could vaguely see the dark boats on the river ahead, smell the river, and think of the long journey ahead. His heart was pounding, and he felt a mysterious thrill, a tension, a hint of excitement, and a sense of loss.

As he was walking, he suddenly heard a melodious voice calling out, "Hello, hello, young master!"

Du Qi followed the source of the voice and saw the girl dressed in yellow waving at him through the window. He was rather surprised by this, but was agitated at the same time. He hurried his horse over to the window and asked, "Miss, are you calling for me?"

The yellow clothed girl said, "That's right. Is Young Master really a reverend of the Luo Ma Gang?"

"Don't you know?"

The yellow clothed girl whispered, "Can't you lower your voice? What do I know? Do you know martial arts? "

Du Qi could not help but become confused. So she did not know that he had become her offering. Could it be that the old scholar was secretly plotting something? It must have been like this, so he used a low voice to borrow a few words. He replied in a false alarm: "What a boastful reputation, not worth mentioning."

The yellow clothed girl said with relief, "So you are really famous. What's your nickname then?"

Du Qi laughed in his heart: "My nickname is quite long so it's not easy to remember."

The yellow clothed girl asked curiously, "Is it scary?" "Can you tell me?"

Du Qi thought for a moment and said, "Speaking of my nickname is a bit scary. I heard that someone used it to scare the crying children."

The yellow clothed girl said excitedly, "Can you really stop children from crying at night? Quick, tell me about it! "

"Do you really want to know?"

The yellow-clothed girl nodded. "Of course. Otherwise, why would I ask you?"

Du Qi held back his laughter and said sternly, "Remember my nickname: Five-elemental Punch, One with the ability to charge across the 33 Layered Heavens on his own. Five-Colored Primordial Thunderbolt, Huang Yitian."

The yellow-clothed girl giggled and said, "It really is quite long, but I've never seen it so frightening. Mm, it's quite interesting, great master!"

Du Qi thought to himself. You actually believe me? I was not going to lie to you at first, but you forced me to lie to you. It seemed that I had been deceiving you more and more, so I asked casually: "Didn't you already leave? Why did you come back to the city? "

The yellow clothed girl said, "I was just going to pick him up and have gone back to the city a long time ago. I've arrived!"

Du Qi then realized that they had reached the pier by the river, so he could only swallow his words back into his stomach. As they were about to rush to the nearest ferry, he suddenly heard the old scholar say, "Get on that ferry with the yellow flag, quick!"

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at the boats by the river. Not far away, on a ferry, there was a small yellow flag jumping about in the shadows between two torches. If it wasn't for the fact that they wanted to look for each other, it wouldn't have been easy to find it. The rest of them had no choice but to follow the old scholar onto the ferry. The moment they got on the ferry and gathered together, the ferry floated towards the heart of the river.

As the ferry started, Du Qi's heart tightened. It was as if he had followed the ferry away from the river bank and floated away from Xiangyang. For a moment, he was completely speechless. It was completely empty and filled with a bad taste.

When the boat reached the center of the river, a sudden gale blew past. The torchlight on the boat flickered up and down, and the boat suddenly became dark and unstable. At the darkest moment, Dodge suddenly noticed a figure darting like a bolt of lightning from the cabin into the carriage, which was being driven by Prime Minister Xie. No one seemed to notice.

Although he caught a glimpse of her, he could clearly see that she was wearing white clothes and a heavy veil over her face. She was very small, and looked like she was a year younger. Just as Du Qi was about to warn the crowd, he heard the yellow clothed girl in the car calling out in a low voice, "Miss, what took you so long?"

Another voice said, "I wanted to get on the carriage for a long time, but I never had the chance. Who is that young man?" This voice was much clearer and sweeter than the yellow-clothed girl's. Du Qi guessed that it was a girl around the same age as the yellow-clothed girl, and from the way she was addressed, it was obvious that this girl was the real owner of this trip.

The yellow clothed girl replied, "They are the ministers of the Luo Ma Gang. They seem to be quite capable."

Another girl said, "What do you mean he seems to be quite capable? When I was getting on the car, I was swept by his sharp eyes and even now I still felt chills down my spine. I never thought that he would have such a profound cultivation base at such a young age."

The yellow clothed girl said naively, "Is he really that powerful? I'm sure his nickname is true. "

As it turned out, she didn't believe in Dodge's bullsh * t nickname either. Another girl asked, "What's the nickname?"

The yellow-clothed girl said: "He said his nickname is the Five-elemental Punch of the Three Realms, the Triple Layered Heavens Thunderclap Five-Colored Dragon that became Huang Yitian. Do you think it's interesting that this nickname won't last long?"

Du Qi couldn't help but secretly laugh. Even he might not be able to repeat his so-called "nickname", but he didn't expect her to be able to repeat it word for word. It was really difficult for her. Another girl laughed and said, "Where did you get such a nickname? This point was randomly made up by him to make you happy. Even now, he might not even be able to remember it.
