Chapter 219 Dalang, it’s time to take medicine (29)
Wei Qi and Huo Shichu set out with the caravan again. The first few days were very peaceful, but the good times did not last long. Whenever they arrived in remote and deserted places, they would encounter robbers.
This frequency of encounters with robberies was something that even a fool could find abnormal, not to mention Wei Qi and Huo Shichu, two top talents? In the end, Huo Shichu could no longer stay in the carriage and watch from the sidelines, but had to pick up his sword and go out to kill the enemy.
It was Huo Shichu and his wife who saved the situation almost every time. Wei Qi became a little impatient and directly told Boss Li that he wanted to leave.
Boss Li was so frightened that he hurriedly tried to keep them. He spent a large sum of money and used much persuasion to finally get the two of them to stay.
So when they arrived in the capital, Huo Shichu and Wei Qi had already earned a huge amount of money. Of course, it was worth it. After all, how many lives had they risked along the way? How many people had they saved? Life could be bought back with money. In fact, they were more fortunate.
Boss Li saw Wei Qi couldn't wait to take Huo Shichu away in a carriage. He sighed, returned to the inn, and said to his master, "Master, Wei Qi and his wife have left."
"We are very lucky to have them along the way, otherwise you and I might not have come back alive..." said the young man with a wry smile. He did not expect that this time would be so dangerous. In the end, those people did not even bother to cover up and came to rob and kill openly. Fortunately, they had Wei Qi and his wife, so they did not die.
"It's a pity that they are all unwilling to stay and serve the master." Boss Li felt very sorry.
"The personalities and temperaments of the masters are very strange, which are beyond our understanding. They don't look like people who care about fame, wealth and status. Worldly fame and wealth cannot tempt or seduce them. It's really enviable..." the young man sighed.
Huo Shichu and Wei Qi, who had already walked away, were unaware of other people's feelings. Huo Shichu was happily counting gold in the carriage: "Wei Qi, we made a lot of money on this trip. Boss Li is really generous."
Wei Qi was driving the old horse slowly. Hearing her words, he couldn't help laughing and said, "How could he not be generous? Wouldn't he be generous enough to save the gold and spend it in Hades' palace?"
"Who do you think they are? So many people came to rob and kill them, it's quite a scene." Huo Shichu said again.
"What do you think?" Wei Qi asked her back.
"Tsk tsk, seeing the skills of those who came to rob and kill, and the secretive Boss Li, he must be related to the imperial court. I also found that Boss Li often met with a small steward, so the identity of that small steward must be not simple."
"Isn't it said that Boss Li is related to the Imperial Merchant Li family? That young steward is the young master of the Imperial Merchant Li family, and Boss Li is his subordinate." Wei Qi directly revealed the answer.
Huo Shichu's eyes lit up and he asked him, "How do you know that the young steward is the young master of the imperial merchant Li family?"
"I overheard it accidentally." Wei Qi said with a raised corner of his mouth.
"They are too careless. You heard all this." Huo Shichu curled his lips and said, "No wonder they were always robbed and killed along the way. It turns out that they are not very reliable."
Wei Qi said, "I heard it when I woke up in the middle of the night. If I hadn't had good hearing, I wouldn't have heard it. They were very careful, but I, your husband, am not an ordinary person."
"Yes, yes, you are the best!" After counting the gold, Huo Shichu pushed them aside, pounced on Wei Qi, hugged his neck, and kissed him hard.
Wei Qi's ears immediately turned red as she hugged his neck, but he said to her, "We are still in the market, don't act silly or someone will see us."
"Then I can kiss and hug you like this in the room instead of in the street?" Huo Shichu teased him deliberately.
They had a thrilling journey and hadn't been intimate for a long time. When Wei Qi was asked such a suggestive question by Huo Shichu, his blood immediately began to boil and he felt hot and agitated. After all, he was a young man with vigorous blood, so how could he not be energetic?
Wei Qi's voice was hoarse, and he coaxed her in a low voice: "Be good, be obedient now, and I will let you do whatever you want tonight, okay?"
"That's what you said!" Huo Shichu's eyebrows immediately beamed with joy, and he touched his strong, lean and well-defined abdominal muscles with his hands dishonestly. He took advantage of him like a pervert before returning to the carriage obediently.
When Wei Qi was touched by her, all the muscles in his body immediately stood up skillfully, ready to wait for the mistress to continue to comfort him. However, they were destined not to wait any longer, and it took them a long time to relax. Wei Qi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, because his body was much more honest than his mouth and responded very early.
So they waited until night, and found an inn with good sound insulation and a comfortable feeling. They immediately started to hug each other and kiss each other. Their passionate posture was like a bolt of lightning that could not be stopped. The wooden bed in the room made noises for most of the night.
After arriving in the capital, Wei Qi and Huo Shichu wandered around. Although it was the capital of a country and the most prosperous and lively place, it was far less interesting and fun than the second- and third-tier small cities in later generations. Both Wei Qi and Huo Shichu had seen the prosperity of later generations, so naturally they didn't have high expectations for this capital. They just let it go after seeing it and didn't have much feeling about it.
Because they had promised Chu Ran that they would help him find out about his life experience, when Wei Qi and Huo Shichu followed the caravan and stopped in various cities to stay, they would go to the busy restaurants to ask if any of the local wealthy families had any of their children missing. Of course, they couldn't find out anything.
After all, Chu Ran was from the capital, and Huo Shichu knew this early on, but she did not tell Wei Qi directly, nor did she plan to go to the Anding Marquis' Mansion to say that she knew the whereabouts of their prince.
Such complicated people would not believe that you really just got the information about Chu Ran to curry favor with them. They would only suspect that one of your enemies was the murderer behind Chu Ran's disappearance? Did you want to use this to repay a favor...
Huo Shichu didn't want to cause trouble for herself. Who was Chu Ran to her? Was he worth the risk? So she pretended that she didn't know anything about it and followed Wei Qi to find out. If Wei Qi really found out, it was Chu Ran's luck; if he didn't find out, Chu Ran would just live a wild life in Baisui Village, suffer a little, but his life would not be in danger. When the time came, he would recover his memory and come back naturally.
As expected, Wei Qi did not find out which family's young man was missing. This was not surprising. After all, high-ranking officials had a lot of things to worry about. They might think that leaking the news would make things worse, so they kept the disappearance a secret and only searched for the person in private.
It seems that Chu Ran is out of luck and can only wait for his memory to recover.
After touring the capital for a month, Wei Qi and Huo Shichu left and headed south, stopping along the way. If they saw an interesting place, they would stay for ten days or half a month. If it was boring, they would just stop for a day or two to replenish their dry food and then leave again.
By the time they returned to Baisui Village, almost a year had passed.
