Broken Bonds

Chapter 68

Chapter 68:

At noon, Yan Feili and Liu Qi even had no time to eat lunch; they went to the racecourse immediately to select excellent horses.

Yan Feili thought of Mo Xue, such a horse as proud as its owner! What kind of horse can get its eyes?

After spending a long time on the racecourse, Liu Qi selected three horses and sent them to the palace in the afternoon.

However, it is true that these horses can do it. Maybe they can still catch people's eyes, but Mo Xue, whom Yan Feili is familiar with, will probably not be satisfied.

In the evening, Liu Ya, who went to the city with a few children, came back and chatted at the dinner table about the grandeur of General Yu riding on the horse, and regretfully said that the King of Beitang did not ride a horse this time, but sat on the Emperor's sedan chair. So she did not see his face.

"Why didn't he ride a horse?" Yan Feili asked.

Liu Ya said while eating, "I heard that King Beitang Ao was injured on the battlefield, and the Emperor personally gave him the imperial sedan, so that he didn't need to get off the sedan chair and went straight into the palace." Shaking her head again, said: "General Yu is also very Majestic, but not as good as the King of Beitang. King Beitang Ao is really the best-looking person I have ever seen. Last time he came back from Eagle Country and rode on that black horse. How majestic and beautiful he was! Chen's sister and I were so dumbfounded, I said that even if I go to the palace, I am willing to be a girl for the prince so I could see his father all the time."

"Girl, don't talk nonsense!" Sister Liu scolded her. "Girls, don't say these ridiculous things."

Liu Ya wrinkled her nose and lowered her head to pick up rice.

Liu Qi glanced at Yan Feili, and saw his expression, thoughtful and frowning secretly.

Two years ago, Yan Feili suddenly appeared in front of him. Dressed in a green shirt, smiling elegantly.

For many years, he seemed to be swept away by this smile.

Liu Qi walked up and hugged him tightly.

"Brother!"

Yan Feili returned his hug, when the two separated, they punched each other hard, and laughed at each other.

There was nothing to say between the two. No questions had been asked. There was no need for the brothers.

After that, Yan Feili stayed and helped him run the racecourse under the pseudonym Pan Li.

The last time Liu Qi heard from him, he was already the number one general in the Northern Gate of the Four Heavenly Sects, and the confidant of the King of Beitang of the Ming Dynasty, Beitang Ao. But at this moment alone, coming here under a pseudonym, something must have happened. But Liu Qi didn't ask anything. Because he believes in Yan Feili, just as Yan Feili believes in him.

"If one day you can't hang around on the rivers and lakes, remember to come to me!"

He always remembered this sentence. Over the years, sometimes, he expected that Yan Feili would suddenly appear in front of him like this, sharing his brotherhood with him; sometimes he hoped that he would never show up and live his own life well.

Finally, on that day, Yan Feili appeared, but he was not forced by others, nor did he seem to have caused any trouble, so as to fade out of the rivers and lakes.

Liu Qi may be inferior to him in knowledge, in martial arts, inferior in popularity, and perhaps inferior to him everywhere, but he knows him best. Yan Feili is definitely not the kind of person who will cause trouble to others, because he will only leave the trouble to himself.

Some things, he did not let go. Some things, settled in his heart, are as solid as a rock, and as heavy as a mountain!

"Xiaoyan." Liu Qi stopped him after dinner. "Let's go to the racecourse."

"That is good."

Yan Feili followed him on the prairie, the wind whistling past his ears.

On a hillside, the two stopped their horses and looked at the dim red sun to the west, taking away the last touch of sunset.

"Xiaoyan, do you have something on your mind?"

Yan Feili didn't speak, he just stared into the distance blindly.

Liu Qi said: "Just now Liu Ya said that King Beitang Ao was injured. Are you worried?"

"No. How come?" Yan Feili answered a bit quickly.

Liu Qi sighed and said: "Xiaoyan, why should you lie to me? You are a person who gives great friendship. Back then, when the head of Pan took you as a disciple and taught you martial arts, you were willing to provoke even the emperor of Jian to carry out Pan Jun's burden for him, for his last wish, and for the many brothers, you have worked so hard for so many years. If it weren't for Jian Guohe to perish, I still don't know how long you would have carried that burden."

"Pan Jun Master was so kind to me, I should do something for him." Yan Feili said lightly, stroking the horse's mane.

"You are like this... I don't know why you had to enter the Heavenly Sect. But you have been there for so long, and even now that you have left the sect, you must still have feelings. I don't want to ask about what happened to you, but if there's something that is worrying you, don't forget that there is still me, your brother."

Yan Feili said to him gratefully: "I know, good brother!"

Liu Qi saw him looking into the distance again, that was the direction of the distant capital. Knowing Yan Feili, he still didn't want to talk, so he said: "Your sister-in-law asked me to ask you how is the girl that she told you last time? Are you still not interested in her?"

Yan Feili smiled bitterly: "Ah-qi, go back and tell my sister-in-law, don't care about me anymore. I will never get married in this life."

"Did you think I didn't say it!?" Liu Qi glared. "In the past two years, the nosy lady has introduced you to how many girls one after another, but you have turned them all off. I know you don't have this in mind. But how can I manage her? You haven't seen her in previous years. When she was crying and bawling to insist that she was going to give me a concubine, it was so frustrating."

In addition to the girl Liu Ya, Liu Qi and his wife had a son. But when his son was three years old, he fell ill and died. Sister Liu was unable to give birth again because she had a dystocia when she gave birth to her son.

In order to not be afraid of the loss of Liu's lineage, she moved out to let Liu Qi accept a concubine. However, Liu Qi was born as an orphan, and he has three reasons for unfilial piety, and he doesn't care about having a son. He and Sister Liu had a deep relationship and would not accept a concubine anyway.

Sister Liu felt ashamed for him and had tossed about it for several years. Finally, seeing Liu Qi's determination, she gradually gave up, so she decided to train Liu Ya to become a talent and inherit her father's family business in the future.

So in the first few years, Liu Ya was sent to school to let her learn more. Fortunately, the Ming country has an open system, regardless of the difference between men and women, Liu Ya is also like a duck in the water in the school.

Yan Feili listened to Liu Qi's words, and said in distress, "What can I do? Help me think about it. What reason can I push back this time?"

Liu Qi laughed: "You can figure it out by yourself, I can't help you. Last time I helped you out and rejected the three daughters of your neighbor's aunt Wang Qiqi's daughter. Your sister-in-law found out, so I was ruined. I was almost kicked out. I won't help you anyway this time. Take care of it yourself."

He raised his horse whip, yelled "hiyaa", and took the lead to gallop down the hillside.

Yan Feili suddenly frowned, smiled bitterly, and trotted the horse following Liu Qi.
