Madam Qi missed him so much that she asked someone to bring him back to the capital, intending to keep him there for a few months and have him go back after the New Year.
During this period, he caught up with the autumn hunting season and went to play with the Cui family members.
He went to school at the Qin family and continued to practice martial arts, so he had an upright posture.
Being in a reading atmosphere, his smile was a little shy.
Madam Qi's biggest hobby is dressing him up. Even when he comes to hunt, his hunting clothes and accessories are surprisingly ostentatious.
The delicate and pretty little person attracts attention wherever he goes.
The Cui family's cousins were very protective of their food. They would not allow others to look at their handsome cousin and would surround him when walking.
Talking about that day, Qi Wu's voice was a little strange: "I have always been with the cousins of the Cui family, but they all have positions, and this autumn hunt also has a mission.
That time, my third uncle was also in Beijing. He came to ask me to go and be with the children of the Qi family. I followed him. I don’t remember seeing Qi Yue. He probably didn’t return to Beijing that time.
That day, we, boys aged ten to fifteen, who had no job, had our own way of playing, the game of capturing the flag at Falling Eagle Ridge. We divided into several routes, and everyone drew lots to decide.
I drew a path that was very difficult to walk on. Uncle San took it and looked at it, saying that the path was too difficult and asked me to change it. I was a bit stubborn and didn't change it.
That day, I was in high spirits, carrying water and braised pork on my back. I climbed all the way up... To put it simply, I climbed to a platform, where I met King Xiang..."
Wen Yu couldn't help wondering: King Xiang? Why haven't I heard of him? But she felt inexplicably nervous and didn't ask.
Qi Wu was stunned for a while before he continued, "As soon as I got on the platform, I saw King Xiang sitting on a big rock, smiling at me. I had seen him once before in the palace, so I recognized him.
He didn't bring any guards, just one person. It seemed like he knew I would show up, and he was waiting for me."
Wen Yu suddenly felt a little suffocated and involuntarily pulled Qi Wu's hand, only to find that the slender hand was a little wet and cold.
"I was a little nervous and greeted him. King Xiang was very friendly and asked me if I was tired, thirsty, etc. I answered briefly, but for some reason, I felt a little uneasy. I told him that I had to go capture the flag today and I had to say goodbye. He... smiled and said: What's the point? Follow me, there will be more interesting things in a while.
I said: The emperor will reward those who capture the flag. I have discussed this with my brothers, so we have to leave now! I don't know why, but I deliberately said it loudly...
He stopped talking and just smiled at me. So I made up my mind to go! I turned around and ran for a while, and the King of Xiang... He was quite skilled. He caught up with me in a few steps, grabbed me, and still pulled me with a smile, and asked, "Why are you running? Did the King let you go?"
He also said: Children who don’t obey will be spanked…”
Wen Yu clenched his hands, feeling extremely distressed… She didn’t even know that he had experienced this!
Qi Wu let her exert force, with his eyes lowered and not looking anywhere.
She continued, "The more he did this, the more scared I became. I struggled desperately. But he pulled me tighter. Finally, he almost pulled me into his arms. I didn't care about anything else and bit him directly.
He bit his hand so hard that it bled.
He may have never experienced this before, so he was furious and raised his hand to slap me. I ducked and the slap hit my ear, which hurt a lot and made a buzzing sound. Then he pushed me to the ground. I quickly got up and drew my sword.
He was a little bit unbelievable, and sneered: "You dare to fight with me? Do you want to rebel? Do you want to destroy the Qi family?"
Wen Yu's tears welled up in her eyes and flowed down. He was only twelve years old...
Qi Wu smiled, "If it were someone else, I guess they wouldn't dare to disobey him even if they wanted to commit suicide. But in my impression, the Qi family is all about my mother's sadness and anger, and I don't have any good feelings towards her. So I was unmoved and just raised my hand to chop.
He looked angry and amused, dodged and threw a punch at my face. I tried to dodge, but found it was a feint, and he snatched my knife away.
How good is this king?
He asked, throwing the knife aside proudly.
I looked at him and secretly took out a small dagger from my back. It was very small and sharp. It was given by my grandfather. He smiled for a while and said: "Okay, I have played enough with you. I have something else to do later. Come here quickly!" He grabbed me again, and I raised my hand and stabbed him. He was quick-witted and dodged, but he still scratched his arm. Blood flowed out.
This time, he was even angrier, and he kicked and beat me, making me roll on the ground. He was really strong, and I couldn't beat him. He also...deliberately tore my clothes into a mess...
This time, he was surprised, and then smiled and said: You actually know what I'm going to do to you? ! Little thing, you know a lot... Did you learn it when you were studying at Qin's house? He talked to attract my attention, and suddenly flashed in front of me and punched me in the abdomen. When I bent down, he used his palm as a knife and chopped my hand. I was useless... The dagger fell off.
But I reacted quickly and suddenly shouted to the person behind me: Come and save me!
He was startled and looked back, and I turned around and ran away.
He chased after her and laughed: "Little thing, you are really interesting. I originally thought... but now it seems that I have to keep you for a while longer."
I ignored him and ran forward desperately. There was a cliff in front of me. I turned around and said to him: If you chase me again, I will jump off.
He hesitated for a moment, stood there motionless, and said: He was joking with me, he just liked to joke with children. He also said that he would give me his new Arabian horse, and made a lot of promises...
I didn't listen to anything and just told him to go or I would jump.
He spent a long time talking and finally got impatient: "I have a lot of things to do, I don't have time to waste with you! If you want to be so shameless, I don't care. Jump, jump now!" After saying that, he came forward, and I was about to jump...
An arrow, with a whistling sound, pierced his shoulder. He cried out in pain and looked back..."
Wen Yu quickly asked, "Is it His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
Qi Wu smiled, then raised his eyes to look at Wen Yu, "It's him! When King Xiang saw him coming, he grinned and pulled out the arrow. Blood gushed out, but he didn't care. He said coldly: Li Qihuan, you always hide behind people like a mouse, but today, you made me look at you with new eyes. What? Want to clear the obstacles for your sick father? It's a pity: you and your son don't have that ability, nor do you have that fate!
After saying that, he went over and the two started fighting.
To be honest, even if he was injured... His Royal Highness the Grandson at that time couldn't beat him. It's just that the King of Xiang had hung his sword on a tree next to the big rock beforehand, so he couldn't get through. Seeing my sword and dagger on the ground, he went to get them. His Royal Highness the Grandson was yelling at me: What are you doing? Hurry up and do it! I realized then that he was pestering the King of Xiang, and I ran over to pick up the weapon in my hand, holding the knife, and the two of us fought with him.
He suffered a loss and yelled loudly, saying that he would not let us go. The prince said to me: We must kill him today, otherwise we will die. We both risked our lives. In the end... we killed him. "
Qi Wu recalled the past, and thinking about it now, it still seems like a dream.
Wen Yu clasped her hands together, "Amitabha! So it was the Crown Prince who saved your life."
"Yes. The two of us stripped him naked and looked around. We happened to find a crack in the rocks over there. We didn't know how deep it was, so we each dragged one of his legs and threw him in. Then, we cleaned up the blood and traces of the fight. But to be honest... you can still see it.
But we had no other choice. We packed up his clothes and his belongings. We walked a long way and buried them under the fallen leaves in the canyon. The two of them looked pale, and we didn't know if they could escape.
Maybe it was God's blessing that the weather suddenly changed in the mountains and it started to rain heavily. We went up the mountain in our separate ways. The rain soaked everyone like drowned rats. Many people slipped, their clothes were torn, and they got hurt, which delayed their climb up the mountain. Everyone looked at each other and laughed.
When we went down the mountain, the road became even harder to walk on. We fell and slid down the mountain, and everyone looked like a clay figurine.
When we got to the foot of the mountain, the Cui cousins came back and took me away directly.
I was frightened and drenched in rain. I didn't know where my kettle and pancakes had fallen. I had a fever. But there were many people like this, so everyone in the camp was boiling water and making ginger soup.
After a while, the place became chaotic, with rumors spreading that Prince Xiang had not returned yet.
The emperor was furious and held his guards accountable. The guards said that the prince had gone to the toilet and asked everyone to wait there. But after waiting for a long time, they found that the prince was missing and left a letter, asking them to go hunting directly, and he would go to find him. Then, the whole garrison was looking for him. For several days... In the end, everyone returned, and some people were left to look for him. "
Wen Yu nodded in admiration: "Well done! You were only twelve at that time, and the crown prince was less than twenty, and the two of you accomplished such a great thing! It's really amazing!"
Under the candlelight, Qi Wu was extremely handsome. "From then on, I followed the Crown Prince. My life belongs to him. Although the Crown Prince is not good-looking and has a strange personality, he is worthy of my loyalty in everything he does! Ah Yu, no one knows about this. Not even my mother knows..."
"I understand. I won't tell you."
"In fact, I heard that Prince Xiang is not bad in both literary and military skills. The emperor likes him the most. But he didn't know that he is such a devil!"
Wen Yu said: "It is better for such a person to die. If he becomes the emperor, wouldn't he be like King Zhou?"
Qi Wu gently hugged her and said, "Thanks to His Royal Highness, we are where we are today!"
Wen Yu was filled with emotion. Suddenly, she thought of something else...
