Volume 1: Swan Goose Chapter 194: Dreams of Qingming and Rain (2)
Lu Ning turned around and ran out of the yard. As soon as he jumped on the velvet horse, a pleasant voice came from behind: "Young leader, where are you going?"
Lu Ning turned around and saw a young man in a green shirt standing not far away, looking at him with a red face.
Lu Ning was startled and said hesitantly: "Can I believe you?"
The young man was also startled, then nodded.
Lu Ning smiled lightly and said, "I'm not worried about Hu Qi, I want to go find him!"
The young man's face turned red and he murmured: "He killed someone, do you still believe him?"
Lu Ning sighed softly and said, "I don't believe he can kill people, and I can't find a reason for him to kill people!"
The young man's clear eyes dimmed slightly, and then he responded: "Okay, then I'll go look for it with you!"
After saying that, he turned around and pulled out a maroon horse, rode alongside Lu Ning, and hurried out the door.

The sun was sinking in the west, setting dimly, and it was only as high as half a bamboo pole. The two new lines of geese flying from the sky were also flying farther and farther.
A burst of ethereal and melodious music came from a shabby room, with a touch of melancholy and heartbreaking beauty. However, the music stopped abruptly at the climax. Then, there was a faint sigh.
A tall man in green clothes stood up slowly from the side of the lyre and walked over. He said softly: "Since you lived in this humble room of mine, there has never been a happy day."
It was Xiao Yulou who spoke.
The man next to him in fluttering white clothes, otherworldly and holding a long flute, is none other than Hu Qi, who is wanted throughout the city.
Hu Qi sighed softly and smiled bitterly: "I obviously didn't do anything and was almost plotted by the gangsters, but now I have become a wanted suspect! Is there anyone worse off than me in this world?"
Xiao Yulou smiled softly and said with emotion: "Hu Qi, you shouldn't have come to Lingzhou in the first place! It has the most beautiful scenery in the world, but it is the most terrifying place in Beiyu! Especially when you provoke the caravan, you should leave immediately
Here!」
Hu Qi looked sideways at him and asked calmly: "Then I don't understand. Since Boss Xiao knows nothing, why doesn't he leave here?"
Xiao Yulou's eyes flashed and he said with a smile: "Actually, when you and I met, I was planning to leave Lingzhou. However, I didn't leave later because I still had a mission."
Hu Qi was slightly startled and asked curiously: "What mission is there that would make you risk your life to stay here?"
Xiao Yulou looked at Hu Qi with warm and touching eyes, and his smile was even brighter: "My mission is to send you safely out of Lingzhou. If you don't leave for one day, I will stay for one day. If you don't leave for one year, I will stay."
Stay for a year!"
Hu Qi felt very warm in his heart, but he smiled sadly and said: "How could you be so virtuous as Hu? Can you let Boss Xiao sacrifice your life in vain for me?"
Xiao Yulou said lightly: "It is not a bad thing for a scholar to die for his confidant! I, Xiao Yulou, have been wandering all my life, and I will be buried wherever I die. Only if I can die next to the most important person, I will die well!"
Hu Qi pondered for a moment and murmured: "I don't know how Miss Lu is doing..."
Xiao Yulou raised his eyebrows and sneered: "It was the caravan that brought you to this point. You are still thinking about that bandit leader!"
Hu Qi frowned and defended: "This matter has nothing to do with Miss Lu. She has always been on my side."
"It's best this way." Xiao Yulou said with a touch of sarcasm on his face. He doesn't have a good impression of the caravan people now.
Hu Qi saw that he seemed unhappy, so she came over and said, "Thank you so much, Mr. Xiao, for helping me. I didn't realize that I had caught a cold at the time. I thought it was the charm drug that almost killed me."
Xiao Yulou said calmly: "I regard you as a confidant, but you are alienating me by saying this. You also saved me last time in Fengming Mountain."
Hu Qi smiled slightly and reminded: "It's not me who saves you, but Gang Leader Lu."
Xiao Yulou's face changed slightly, and he pondered for a moment before saying: "Okay, I admit that the leader of the Lu Gang is indeed chivalrous and different from other caravans. However, it is obvious that you were framed in this matter, but she has not come to look for you until now.
, it shows that she doesn’t completely believe you.”
Hu Qiwei
She frowned and said with lingering fear: "She can't be blamed for this. She would never have thought that a dignified and virtuous woman like Mrs. Ye would have such despicable methods!"
"Dignified and virtuous? You really praise her!" Xiao Yulou's eyes were cold and he gritted his teeth and said: "She is an unscrupulous and slutty woman. Even the women in the brothel are not half as good as her! However, fortunately you can run fast and
I poured cold water on myself in time to make myself sick. If you hadn’t had a fever and fell into a coma for a day and a night, no one would be able to cure the love medicine on your body!"
Hu Qi suddenly asked: "By the way, last time we sent you to the hospital, why did you leave without saying a word the next day? I also went to the place where you sang, but I found that the place was already empty!
"
Xiao Yulou snorted coldly and said: "The person who is chasing me is very skilled. If I didn't hide, would I still be alive until now?"
Hu Qi asked tentatively: "Do you know the identity of the assassin?"
Xiao Yulou hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "I only know that this person has a close relationship with Ma Huilan."
Hu Qi raised his eyebrows and gritted his teeth: "She is indeed Ma Huilan's person! She is really vicious!"
Xiao Yulou sighed and advised softly: "Hu Qi, if you let Elder Yun enter Ma Huilan's house, she won't let you go! So, Ma Gang, you must not go back now!"
Hu Qi looked at him carefully and tried to ask: "Boss Xiao, do you know something inside?"
Xiao Yulou sighed and said, "You can't protect yourself now, so it's better not to know too much!"
Hu Qi walked to the window, looked blankly at the gloomy sky outside the house, and secretly sighed: Yes, caring leads to chaos! She still doesn’t know when she can go back? When can she wash away her grievances?
Moreover, I wonder how Lu Ning is doing now? Did he believe that he would kill someone? If he found that he was missing, would he be worried and go out to look for him?
At this moment, he was clearly in deep trouble, but he missed Lu Ning very much.
Xiao Yulou stood up and walked behind him, comforting him softly: "Don't worry, you are safe here with me."
He will risk his life to protect Hu Qi's safety!
Just at this moment, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from outside the window, and a clear voice sounded: "Qingfeng, go over there and take a look. I'll go this way. We'll meet here in a while."
Hu Qi was startled. He immediately recognized that it was Lu Ning's voice.
"It's Miss Deer. Miss Deer has come to pick me up!" Hu Qi looked happy and hurriedly opened the window. At a glance, he saw the girl in bright clothes and angry horses, looking around anxiously and calling him over and over again.
name.
"Great! She's here!" Hu Qi ran to the door desperately. Just as he put his hand on the door to push it open, he saw Xiao Yulou running over and pushing his hand away.
"Xiao Qi, if you show up now, you will harm her and yourself." Xiao Yulou warned coldly, his delicate face turned a little ferocious because of jealousy.
"What do you mean?" Hu Qi frowned, very unhappy.
Xiao Yulou asked patiently: "Now the Yamen is looking for you. If you show your face, will the Lu gang leader hand you over to the Yamen?"
"No." Hu Qi said resolutely: "She is the most loyal person. She will not hand me over until the truth comes to light! If she really believes that I killed someone, she will never come out to find me!"
"Yes, you are right." Xiao Yulou added, "But if she finds you and doesn't hand you over, she is harboring a fugitive! This is not a small crime!"
Upon hearing this, Hu Qi's whole body seemed to be frozen and motionless.
"Given her current situation in the caravan, no one will help her. When the time comes, she won't be able to save you but will get herself involved. Are you sure you want to do this to her?" Xiao Yulou took a step closer to him with an imposing manner.
Geo asked.
"You're right, I can't harm her." Hu Qi sighed deeply, slowly retracted his hand, turned around and walked back to the table to sit down, picked up the wine bottle, poured himself a glass, and drank it down.
.
Looking at his lonely expression, Xiao Yulou felt that he had gone too far. But when he thought that Hu Qi left here and might never come back again, he couldn't help but harden his heart.
Lu Ning's urgent voice could be heard outside the window, and every sound seemed to hit Hu Qi's heart, making the corners of his mouth twitch slightly and his fists clenching tighter and tighter.
He forced himself not to listen or think, for fear that he would rush out if he couldn't help himself.
Only separated by a wall, Lu Ning was still looking around anxiously on his snowmelt horse, his bright face was covered with fine beads of sweat, and his black and white eyes were full of disappointment.
She and Ye Qingfeng searched almost the entire Lingzhou City, not even bothering to eat or drink, and were already a little exhausted. But what she was worried about was not herself, but Hu Qi, who was missing.
Since she stepped into Lingzhou, too many things have happened and too many people have died. The next corpse she dislikes the most belongs to Hu Qi!
"Young Gang Leader, I didn't find anything over there, what about your side?" After a while, Ye Qingfeng left and returned.
After running around for a day without eating or drinking, even the strong Ye Qingfeng had a gloomy look on his face, and his voice had lost its crisp tone.
Lu Ning shook his head in disappointment: "I also gained nothing!"
She stared around blankly and murmured: "Why do you think this big living person just disappeared after you said he couldn't see it?"
Ye Qingfeng asked hesitantly: "Is Mr. Hu already leaving Lingzhou?"
"I hope so." Lu Ning bit his lip and said sadly, "As long as he is alive, he will be fine wherever he is."
Ye Qingfeng pondered for a moment and couldn't help but ask: "Young Gang Leader, I have something I don't know whether to say or not."
"Tell me." Lu Ning turned to look at him with clear eyes.
Ye Qingfeng gritted his teeth and plucked up the courage: "Young gang leader is looking for him like this, do you want to bring him to justice, or do you want to help him clear his grievances?"
Lu Ning thought for a moment and said calmly: "I will not hand Hu Qi over to anyone until this case is thoroughly investigated."
Ye Qingfeng immediately became worried: "Young Gang Leader, don't forget that you are Hu Qi's guarantor! If we find Hu Qi but don't hand him over to the government, we are harboring a fugitive! Don't talk about Hu Qi then.
, even you yourself will be implicated and imprisoned!"
Lu Ning raised the tip of his nose and smiled softly: "If you are afraid of going to jail, you don't have to travel around the world! Besides, Hu Qi's disaster today was caused by the caravan. We must find out the truth of the matter and clear his grievances! How can we?
Hide and be a turtle!"
Ye Qingfeng's face turned red, he lowered his head and said, "Yes, Qingfeng made a mistake!"
Lu Ning took hold of the reins and said seriously: "Those young people hiding in the caravan, do you think I will be afraid if they do this? Not only will I not be afraid, I will not flinch! I will definitely catch them one by one.
Let them pay a heavy price for what they have done!"
With that said, she raised her riding whip and turned around to leave.
Ye Qingfeng stood there calmly, thinking about the last sentence carefully, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart.
