Du Ci noticed his gaze, and exchanged another glance with the tall man. The other party's black hair hangs down, his shoulders are broad and his back is broad, but his upper body is bare in such a cold day, the muscles on his dark skin are tense, and there are many wounds on his back and abdomen. Du Ci noticed the inconspicuous scar on the side of the man's face. Under the halo of orange fire in the distance, he looked like a Rakshasa crawling out of a nightmare.
At first, Du Ci didn't pay attention to it at first glance, but after a few more glances now, he realized that something was wrong: this is probably the person who stayed overnight as Douding said, and he really doesn't look like a good person.
After a hasty glance, Du Ci turned around and put on his shoes and socks, closed the door and walked towards the end of the corridor. The window over there was wide open, and he could see the burning stable.
The doors of the rooms behind the tall man also opened one after another, and Deputy General Xu stepped forward and said in a low voice: "General, those two just now..."
They also heard the accent of the master and servant in the room, and they immediately thought of Qi Nanke's guess, but could it be such a coincidence
Qi Nanke narrowed his eyes and looked at the figure standing at the window, and said coldly, "Go and find out."
Vice General Zhou clasped his fists and lowered his head: "Yes."
After taking a bath at night, Deputy General Zhou changed into ordinary civilian clothes. He wore a tiger skin around his waist, a fox tail on his waist, and white fox fur around his neck. He looked like a hunter. He stroked his beard, walked slowly to the window to look outside, and said in a rough voice, "Hey, it's a dry day, so don't send people to look at it more, a small place is a small place!"
Du Ci watched the people fighting the fire below, and when he heard the words, he glanced at the big man next to him, and moved aside without a trace.
Deputy General Zhou said again: "Little brother wears so little, be careful of catching a cold."
Du Ci tightened his clothes, lowered his head and said, "Thank you for your concern, I'm fine."
Hearing his accent, Vice General Zhou was a bit awkward in Dasheng official dialect, and he thought to himself: Did you really meet someone who is so fucking stupid? That is really God help me!
From the corner of his eye, he took a look at the figure and clothes of the young man—the material of the middle coat was expensive at first glance, and it was not a fabric that ordinary people could use. A pair of black shoes were rolled with flying clouds and waves, and the fine details were traced with gold lines. , In this dim light, it was not noticeable at first, but the orange fire was blazing outside the window, and the golden thread reflected a faint light.
With this attire, and the servants following him, Vice General Zhou had some confidence in his mind, and when he was about to turn around and report back to his general, his ears twitched suddenly.
"Be careful!" He reacted quickly, pulled the person by the window, and saw a flaming arrow flashed before his eyes, pierced into the floor, and immediately ignited the fragile floor.
"There's kerosene on the dog-day!" Deputy General Zhou shouted with a slight movement of his nose, and pulled Du Ci away.
"What, what are you doing, let me go!" Du Ci was taken aback and struggled, "My people are still below, Douding!"
"Someone set fire to the stable," Deputy General Zhou said, "The target of the other party is the entire station, hurry up!"
"Who is so bold!" Du Ci, who had never been out of the royal city, was stunned, "At the feet of the emperor, they, they..."
"Heh," Vice General Zhou thought this kid was really interesting, but met the innocent young prince in the rumors, and said, "Anything can happen at the feet of the Son of Heaven."
Because he had a bad impression of the Son of Heaven, Vice General Zhou sneered: "The Son of Heaven is not a god, how does he know everything?"
Du Ci's eyes widened in an instant, and it happened that Qi Nanke and Vice General Xu also walked quickly. They didn't have much luggage, and Vice General Xu helped to carry Vice General Zhou's baggage. The three of them were going to take Du Ci downstairs together.
Seeing that Douding had disappeared, Du Ci panicked and yelled in his native dialect: "Let go! Oh, I'm a bag! I want to cut the bag!"
"Fate is more important than burden?" Vice Admiral Zhou frowned, "Why are you so ignorant?"
"I can't do it! I have a bag!" Du Ci was like a chicken in the hands of Deputy General Zhou. No matter how hard he struggled, he said desperately, "There is something very important! You, you... Douding! Douding you Where!"
Qi Nanke threw his burden into Deputy General Xu's hand, picked up Du Ci and ran back upstairs.
At this time, more than half of the floor had been burned, and the guests screamed and ran downstairs. Shoes and socks, headbands, belts, and a few small bundles were scattered on the unburned floor.
Someone actually took advantage of the fire to rob, bent down, covered his mouth and nose, and searched for the money in the baggage. Du Ci raised his eyebrows and shouted: "Hey! What are you doing!"
Qi Nanke turned his head and took a look, then carried Du Ci indifferently and rushed back into the room, pushed him in, and signaled to pack up quickly!
Du Ci rubbed his sore arm and muttered aggrievedly: "Mangzi..."
He chattered endlessly, his hands and feet were numb, and he packed up the bag and tied it on his back a few times. Qi Nanke noticed that there seemed to be a jade white piccolo, which was stuffed into the bag by Du Ci several times.
The two were about to go out when the fire snaked along the floor, doors and windows like a voracious snake.
The floor was broken, and there was no way to the stairs. Du Ci, who was choked by the thick smoke, burst into tears, wrinkled his face in one place, and panicked, "Brother! Us, what should we do?!"
How could such a small matter be difficult for Qi Nanke? Seeing that he didn't even frown, he pulled Du Ci in to the window, which was facing the back door of the inn, and there were already many guests gathered at the back door, including Vice-General Xu and Vice-General Zhou.
Seeing someone at the window, everyone exclaimed, Vice General Xu put down his luggage and ran under the window: "General...Young Master!"
Qi Nanke waved his hand, Vice General Xu stepped aside immediately, Du Ci was dumbfounded: "You, what are you going to do?"
Qi Nanke put him directly on the window sill, and Du Ci lay on the window frame and howled like a pig: "I won't jump! I'll die if I jump! I won't jump! Can't you use other methods! Don't beat me! Bring the bed sheet!"
Du Ci planned to use a bed sheet to tie a long rope, and then climbed down the rope, but Qi Nanke only gave him a look, then picked up his collar, stepped towards the window frame with one foot, and jumped down with him.
"Ah!"
Ah, there was no end to the word, and he had already landed firmly. Du Ci closed his eyes and opened his mouth, and opened his eyes slightly after a long while in embarrassment.
The crowd applauded collectively and cheered again and again, as if watching a wonderful performance.
Du Ci: "..."
The people next to him were still helping to put out the fire, so Du Ci was too embarrassed to shout anymore, and rolled up his sleeves and wanted to fight the fire.
But Qi Nanke grabbed his arm, his gray eyes seemed to be dyed with a strange color in the raging flames, and he was looking at him quietly.
Du Ci patted his forehead, straightened his clothes and bowed his hands solemnly, and said in awkward Dasheng official words: "Thank you, brother, for your righteousness and rescue. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can go to the Du Mansion under the paulownia tree in Yongge North Lane to ask for help." A person named 'Zhongbai' will definitely help."
After that, he fumbled around in the baggage again, and took out a bulging money bag without looking at it, and stuffed it into Qi Nanke's hand, with a "rewarded" expression on his face.
Vice General Xu felt a toothache watching from the side: It's definitely because Du Ci didn't run away, but isn't this person a little stupid
When I met a stranger, I betrayed myself and reported the location of the Du Mansion; secondly, I didn't even look at the reward money, if I gave away all the money, what should I do along the way? Do you drink Mistral
when will the general marry me
