the first god

Chapter 343 Xiao Xiao
Soon the motorcade came to the city gate, and the boy followed Qi Xian and Yin Xue out of the carriage.It was noon at this time, there were not many people in front of the city gate, and several county guards in front of the gate were maintaining order, and the name of the county city was on the gate of nearly ten meters, two vigorous words: Liu Gao.

The meaning of these two words is obviously not easy to understand, the boy naturally did not understand, turned his head to Qi Xian, but before he could ask, Qi Xian shook his head and said: "I know what you are going to say, but I don't know either. They are all names that have been passed down from a long time ago." "My father said that they should be obtained in commemoration of something." Xue Yin on the side interjected.

The boy nodded, but his face changed when his eyes returned to the city gate.Without saying a word, he jumped out of the car and ran towards the city gate.

what happened?The guards on one side didn't realize what the boy was going to do, and Steward Wang was also at a loss, but he got out of the car to check the situation.

At this time, a group of people in front of the city gate was about to go out, loaded with two flatbed carts, wrapped in black cloth, and had already arrived outside.A thin man in the front panicked for no reason when he saw a child running towards him, but the next moment the boy had already run to the front of the car, picked up a stone on the ground and threw it at the thing wrapped in black cloth on the car.

"Wow!" A cry rang out, and the countenance guards standing in front of the city gate changed their expressions, and immediately surrounded them. The guards of the Qi family motorcade behind were also taken aback, and Steward Wang's expression became weird, and he didn't know what to think of it what.

The thin man reacted quickly, jumped on the horse and walked away. The people behind him were coachmen hired by him, so he couldn't care about it at the moment.

"Stop!" The yelling of the county guard naturally couldn't stop the man from fleeing, but the guards behind him wouldn't let him escape, and mounted their horses one after another to stop him.Seeing this, the man took out a few things from his body and threw them at the guards. It turned out to be throwing knives!This throwing knife is very short, it is better to say it is a wider bayonet, and it seems to be black, maybe it is poisonous.The guards quickly blocked, but someone was still hit and let out a scream.The scene suddenly became chaotic, and the man took the opportunity to speed up and try to rush through the crowd.

"Hmph!" Just as the man was about to rush over, and the tension on his face eased a little, a cold snort sounded, and the man felt a pain in his shoulder. When he looked down, an arrow had pierced his right shoulder.Damn it, the man cursed secretly, but his body slid down uncontrollably.
"General Xia is mighty." Steward Wang walked over and said with a smile.

"I can easily catch such a young man," a tall man said casually after pulling the man up and throwing him to the county guard.

"Captain, there are ten children in the car, all from Liugao County." A county guard not far away reported after opening the black cloth.

"Child? Get out quickly." Xia Kuanfei hurried forward.Butler Wang also followed.

The boy had already returned to the car, and everything after that was the county guard's business, so he didn't stay any longer.At this time, the black cloth had been fully opened, and ten children, six boys and four girls, were laid flat on the car. A boy about six years old was still crying, and this was the one who had just been woken up by the stone.As for the others, they are still sleeping.

Xia Kuanfei walked up to these children and observed carefully, his expression was a little strange, and then he pressed each child, and soon all the children woke up.After waking up, the first reaction was to cry, but it was not crying in pain, but fear, and the county guards had to coax them, asking where they all lived, and arranging for a few people to send the children back.

The Qi family motorcade finally returned to the county town. Both Qi Xian and Yin Xue felt that they had experienced a lot when they came out this time. It was the first time for both of them to go out, so it was much more interesting than staying at home.But Steward Wang didn't think it was a good thing, not to mention that they were originally here to transport goods rather than play, and the safety of these two little ancestors was also very important.One is the young master of the Qi family, and the other is the daughter of the sheriff.If it weren't for his prudence and reliability being more recognized, the two little ancestors would definitely not be able to get out.And there is one more person coming back, how to arrange it is also a problem.

Although there was a small episode at the gate of the city, the lively scene after entering the city quickly made people forget about it. There were people coming and going on the street, and the traffic was rolling. Steward Wang simply arranged for two people to follow Qi Xian and Yin Xue, I took other people and goods back to make a business trip.And this boy seemed to be able to play with Qi Xian, so he stayed.

"Do you have no place to go? Why don't you go to my house? It doesn't matter how many people you have." Qi Xian said after knowing the situation.

"Thank you." The boy replied briefly.It's true that there is nowhere to go, and it's certainly nice to have a place to live.

At night, Qi Xian took the boy back to Qi's house.As the largest merchant in Liugao County, the Qi family's mansion is also very luxurious. It is located in the east of the county and covers an area of ​​several miles. After all, the boy grew up in Yunya Mountain. He is very surprised to see this, but Qi Xian is used to it , took him straight to the house where Butler Wang was staying, but Butler Wang was drinking tea with Xia Kuanfei.

"Xian'er is here, you'd better go to your father's place quickly, your father is very worried about you after walking outside for a few days." Seeing Qi Xian come in, Xia Kuanfei's stern face rarely eased , put down the teacup, and said.

"I know this, I'll go there later." Qi Xian replied, and then said to Steward Wang: "Old man Wang, you can make arrangements for him, he has no place to go, and I happen to lack a playmate."

"Can't we Yinxue play with you every day?" Xia Kuanfei laughed. "After all, she is a girl, so it is often inconvenient." Qi Xian replied casually.But as soon as the words came out, the two people who were sitting passed by with somewhat unnatural expressions.But Butler Wang still spoke.

"Okay, General Xia came to me to ask your playmate to go to the county guard, so don't worry that he has no place to go."

"What? The county guard? He's only about my age, what can he do?" Qi Xian had a look of disbelief, this is really ridiculous.

"Don't underestimate him. I think he has a great future if he is trained. At least I can't compare to him when I was ten years old." Xia Kuanfei's face straightened, obviously not joking.

"I just threw it away at noon, not knowing any acupoints." The boy interjected, but just after he finished speaking, he saw Xia Kuanfei staring at him with a half-smile.

"Would you like to stay here or go to the county guard?" Qi Xian turned to look at the boy and said.

The boy scratched his head, looked this way and that, then hung his head down in thought.

"In our Qi family, you will either be a guard or a clerk in a company; you can go to the county guard, and maybe you can guard this place like those county guards." Seeing that the boy did not speak, Steward Wang said.Hearing this, Qi Xian couldn't help rolling his eyes, the meaning was obvious, Wang Butler clearly didn't want it.

Sure enough, the boy finally chose the County Guard, and after that, he also had his own name.

Ma Yunteng, Xia Kuanfei gave him the name, saying that he runs like a galloping horse, and like a fairy flying through the clouds and fog.

The boy Ma Yunteng read these two words softly, um, I didn't expect it to sound quite nice.

"Ma Yunteng, hurry up and tell the kitchen, Uncle, I want to eat big meat today." "Ma Yunteng, don't be busy, clean up all the flowers and plants in the house first." "These are not important, come back quickly, the captain, he will test your questions." Have you figured it out yet?"

"This, this not yet..." Beside a group of noisy county guards, a young man in rough clothes was standing aside dumbfounded. The young man was holding a hatchet for chopping wood. His palms were a little red and his clothes were covered with sweat. The bead was soaked a lot, and a small face was covered with a little dust. It didn't know that at first glance, it looked like a poor child laborer.However, Ma Yunteng's current status is not much different from that of a child laborer. Xia Kuanfei told him that he was still too young when he was brought back. Chores.

Yes, it has been a year since he entered Liugao County. According to the time when the old man raised him, he should be ten years old now.People of this normal age are either studying or playing, and he has hardly been out here for a year. The strange thing is that he is not very disgusted, maybe he is grateful for this.

"Ma Yunteng, the captain is calling you, and you are outside." A county guard just came in and waved quickly when he saw him.

"Oh, I'll be right here." Ma Yunteng replied, put down the hatchet quickly, raised his sleeves, wiped his face and walked out.

This is where the county guards are stationed, including the county guard camp and the county guard mansion.There are 320 county guards in Liugao County, and nearly 70 people in charge of logistics and documents. A total of almost 400 people live in this small building. The front door is mainly black, which means always be vigilant. ; In addition, the decorations represent Liugao County's patterns and the guardian gate gods recognized by people; the walls are not so thick and tall, but a large number of railings are built on the walls of about one meter. see outside.And the plaque with "County Guard" is hung in the front direction, and the whole body has a solemn atmosphere, which can be felt as soon as people approach.

When Ma Yunteng left the door, he saw Xia Kuanfei waiting in front of him, and there were two people behind him, a handsome young man and a delicate and lovely girl, who were looking at the door expectantly, happy to see Ma Yunteng coming out .

"Qi Xian, Yinxue, why are you here?" Ma Yunteng was also very excited seeing the two of them, they hadn't seen each other for a year, only occasionally when they came, Ma Yunteng would come out to meet.But obviously Xia Kuanfei knew this.

"Yo, Ma Yunteng, why are you dressed like this? Is Uncle Xia calling you by angels every day? I told you that if you stay with me, you will never be like this." Seeing Ma Yunteng's appearance, Qi Xian felt a little upset.

"No way, I think Ma Yunteng is much better than before, how cheerful and happy he is now." Yin Xuebai glanced at Qi Xian, and smiled at Ma Yunteng again.

"Ma Yunteng, I'll give you a vacation today to play with them, but I'll be back before night." Seeing this, Xia Kuanfei didn't want to bother him any more. He coughed twice to show that he was still here, and he was about to leave up.

"Don't worry, we won't lose Ma Yunteng." Yin Xue pulled Ma Yunteng and smiled.

"Ma Yunteng, please tell us what Xia Kuanfei asked you to do?" Qi Xian asked as soon as he got into the car. "Hey, Qi Xian, why do you call Uncle Xia's name directly?" "No problem." Qi Xian completely ignored Yin Xue's dissatisfaction, still looking at Ma Yunteng, waiting for his answer.

"Ah? It's actually okay, just let me do some chores, and I don't have much free time all day." Ma Yunteng looked at the two of them and felt amused, and replied.

"That's all, didn't he want to train you to be like him back then, didn't he ask you to do something else?" Qi Xian was obviously dissatisfied with such an answer, scratching his head and asking again.

"Well, it seems that he asks me some strange questions from time to time and wants me to answer them, but he doesn't explain to me what I don't understand, and says that I will understand after I do more work." Ma Yunteng blinked and thought for a while.

"Question, tell me quickly, maybe I know?" Yinxue's curiosity came up again, and she pushed Qi Xian away and asked anxiously, because the movement was big and the hair scattered a few strands, which seemed a little funny, and also a little cute .

But Ma Yunteng didn't notice these, thought for a while and said: "Do you know what Wu is, and what is Wu Xue?"

Hearing this, Qi Xian and Yin Xue actually said "Oh" at the same time, as if they had suddenly realized.But then Ma Yunteng's gaze also changed, as if examining him.

"Why are you looking at me like this? Tell me what you want." Ma Yunteng asked cautiously, being a little uncomfortable.

"This is a bit complicated, Qi Xian, let's talk about it." Yin Xue turned her head and said, "Yeah." Qi Xian nodded, "Anyway, we are still early, so it's okay to tell you something."

"Wu is a kind of ability that ordinary people use to strengthen their bodies and protect themselves. Many people practice martial arts, like those county guards. Most people who strengthen their bodies will do it. After all, it is good for the body. And those County guards, the martial arts of the guards have the ability to attack. These are the categories of an ordinary person, and I don’t know much about martial arts. It should represent a higher level. But one thing is certain, that is, Xia Kuan Fei. Uncle Xia is a martial arts practitioner." Seeing Yin Xue glaring at him, Qi Xian shrank his head, changed his words and finished speaking.

"But, since you don't know much, why did he ask me these things?" After listening to Qi Xian's explanation, Ma Yunteng nodded, but he was still a little puzzled.

"Martial arts is not something that everyone can learn. He probably thinks that you can do it. In this way, that's what he meant when he said there was a future." Qi Xian rested his chin in thought, However, the way a ten-year-old boy thinks does not match his age. Fortunately, there is no one else here.

"Okay, today we are out to play, not to discuss these things." Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Xue Yin hurriedly interrupted. "Yes, it's rare for you to come out once, so you have to relax." Qi Xian also smiled.

The street was as lively as ever. Although there were only three children, they still had a way to play. When they saw something good, Qi Xian waved his hand, and someone came to pay for it. Ma Yunteng enjoyed everything he could eat and play. Ma Yunteng also quickly left the matter of martial arts behind him, after all, he is a child, this is his nature.
