4. The nouveau riche has a big stomach
The carriage drove to a restaurant and stopped, Cheng Miao got out of the car and carefully lifted the curtain: "Second young master, I've been on the boat for three days, take a break and then go to Shifu to sign up, anyway, the recruitment conference will start tomorrow." ”
"It's fine. ”
There was a young man of about twenty-five or sixteen in the car, under the white jade crown was a handsome face, with a smile on his lips, wearing a yellow shirt with gold silk embroidered edges, showing a little white boots in front of the horizontal shirt, holding a sword in his left hand, walking as a car, and walking into the restaurant with Cheng Miao.
Naturally, the carriage had the little second brother to settle in, Cheng Miao went to ask for two rooms, and ordered a table, and then looked at the second young master, and saw that he did not object, so he ordered the little second to lead the way.
It was the time of the meal, the restaurant was very lively, and the lobby was almost full. The second young master has a noble status, so naturally he doesn't eat with the common people, and follows to prepare to eat in the room, but a person in the corner of the window suddenly attracts his attention. In fact, it was not the person who attracted his attention, but the table in front of the person full of various dishes: braised pork knuckle, sambao duck, sliced beef, shredded clove pork, braised carp...... There are so many of them, I'm afraid that there will be no less than 20 dishes, and they will be full. There are so many dishes, but only one person eats them.
Maybe it's just a show-off nouveau riche. Thinking like this, the second young master smiled slightly, ready to look away, but soon, once his gaze fell on that person, he couldn't take it off, and his brows furrowed slightly.
Cheng Miao has always had the ability to observe words and feelings, and when he saw the second young master like this, he immediately looked at it and couldn't help but smile: "Second young master, this person is wearing the mask of Yan Shifang, eating and drinking here, I'm afraid that it will be spread to the Shifu, and he won't even have a chance to sign up." Who in the world doesn't know that Yan Shifang is the descendant of the Sword Court, how can he be as swaggering as an upstart. ”
The second young master didn't respond, but walked over and looked carefully. This nouveau riche in his eyes was wearing a dark gray cardigan, needless to say, he looked like Yan Shifang, obviously wearing a mask. It seemed to eat slowly and quickly, not like gobbling it up, but the food on the table was visibly wiped out.
"This brother has a good appetite, in Xia Zhao Pu, dare to ask the honorable name?" the second young master asked slightly. He didn't find it surprising, some cultivators like to eat, as long as they reach the human fairyland, they can drive the true qi to "refine and refine the qi", and the powerful ones can even refine while eating, which is also a kind of cultivation.
"Yan Li. "The nouveau riche said.
The second young master couldn't help laughing, and naturally sat down on the bench with a flick of his shirt: "Brother Tai said that he was laughing." Now in the entire Wind Cave Mansion, there are not 10,000 but 8,000 people named Yan Li, and they are asking for their real names. ”
"Oh?" the upstart bit on a chicken leg, raised his eyebrows strangely at the words, ripped off the large piece of meat, and chewed slowly. "To the south. ”
"Xiang Nan?" the second young master was stunned, only to feel that this name was a little strange. He laughed again: "Very nice name." In fact, there is one thing I want to discuss with my brother Tai next, I wonder if I can take a step to talk?"
"Not available. Xiang Nan was not the slightest interested in the second young master's proposal, gnawed down a chicken leg, and drank another bowl of chicken soup. The sweet goji berries are mixed with the unique flavor of chicken, and there is a special flavor inside.
Cheng Miao's heart was on fire, and he said coldly: "Do you know who the second young master is, you dare to ......" The words behind him suddenly couldn't say a word, because the second young master was staring at him with a cold look.
"That being the case, the brother is slow to use. The second young master stopped Cheng Miao's words with his eyes, then smiled like a spring breeze, got up and walked towards the upstairs room. Cheng Miao hurriedly followed, knowing that she had almost exposed the identity of the second young master, and she was uneasy. When he arrived in the upper room, he immediately pleaded guilty on one knee, "When his subordinates saw no one in his eyes, they couldn't help but get angry, as the second young master, no matter where he went, those people were all courteous......"
The second young master sat on the chair, with a calm majesty, his face was full of frost, and when he heard this, his face melted, and he sighed: "Cheng Miao, you have a very good reputation in the rivers and lakes, and when others see your hand, they will inevitably think of my identity, but you should know that the purpose of my father sending us this time must not reach the ears of King Wei." ”
"Yes, my subordinates are in a hurry, please punish the second young master. Cheng Miao lowered her head and said.
The second young master got up and helped Cheng Miao up: "Okay, with your identity, I have wronged you." ”
"Serving the old man and the second young master, his subordinates are not wronged. Cheng Miao suddenly laughed, and her heart was warmly moved. Although the eldest young master and the third young master have power in the clan, they are unpopular, and there is nothing wrong with following the second young master. He suddenly thought of the nouveau riche with the big stomach, "Second Young Master, why do you care so much about that cheap person named Xiang Nan?"
In the human world, scholars from wealthy families mostly wear shirts made of precious materials, and ordinary people or casual cultivators will never spend money on this. On the other hand, in order to distinguish them from ordinary people, scholars would never wear the clothes of ordinary people.
The second young master walked to the windowsill and pushed the window open, and a gust of wind blew in with the scent of earth. "This marriage is a god of history, and in order to catch the Dragon Emperor, my father is determined to win, and I have to use my life. You know that I once saw Yan Shifang, and thought that if I could imitate his nine-point charm, I would be able to catch him in the game, but when I saw this to the south, it was like seeing a living Yan Shifang, if I didn't know that the deity had been banished......"
Cheng Miao is the best at figuring out his master's thoughts, and immediately comprehends: "In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, you want to buy him!" But he dared to refuse the kindness of the second young master, so it was better to ...... him" He made a murderous throat cutting motion.
The second young master neither said good nor bad. But Cheng Miao has been by the second young master's side for many years, and he understands his temperament the most, so he smiled suspiciously: "My subordinates know, what the second young master means is that this matter cannot be done by us." You can rest assured that your subordinates will find the right person immediately. ”
The second young master asked with a vague look, "I heard that the unrivaled killer who asked for a lot of money is in the Wind Cave Mansion?"
"The subordinate understood. Cheng Miao said, and had already pushed the door out.
On the other side of the window, a shadow lurked there in the closed windowsill below, and he listened for a long time, but he couldn't hear the voice, he shook his head and said: "Lord Wu, this Zhao Xi really doesn't leak, by pushing the window, he probed whether anyone was spying on him, and when he spoke, he secretly opened the prohibition, so that people didn't hear a word." ”
In the semi-dim room, another dark figure sat at the table drinking tea, the tea lid rubbing against the teacup to make a peculiar porcelain sound, which was particularly clear in the quiet environment. The black shadow took a sip of tea, and then said: "He is more powerful than that, in fact, bringing Cheng Miao to appear here is his most clever means." ”
"The Zhao clan still doesn't know that His Majesty has deduced their wolf son from various signs
Ambition, with Cheng Miao not recruiting herself, should be the biggest mistake, where is the cleverness?" said the black shadow next to the window.
The black shadow called Master Wu smiled slightly: "Cheng Miao appears here, if it reaches the ears of someone with a heart, the imperial court will soon know that the Zhao family is the breakthrough to break through the realm of King Wei." ”
The face of the black shadow beside the window changed slightly: "Wouldn't it be in vain to stop their marriage?" It is better to guard against the Zhao family's rebellion as soon as possible!"
"No, the marriage between the Zhao family and Shi Dong is just the process that contributed to this matter. Lord Wu's eyes gleamed in the darkness, "Preventing the marriage will make this process slow indefinitely, and over time, the Zhao family will cocoon itself and fall into a quagmire from which they cannot extricate themselves. Since they have chosen to betray, then we will open a net and wrap them up little by little, and when they find that there is no way back......" he chuckled and did not continue.
The dark shadow by the window suddenly became cold, and the amiable nature of this middle-aged man, and the look of sighing and sighing in a pile of concerts, seemed to be two people at this moment. Only then did he remember that this middle-aged man, who seemed to be harmless to humans and animals, was the overlord's most relied on henchman during the Battle of the Godsfall, known as the ghost in the Lost Tower, which meant that his plans were always unreasonable, and vicious. After the completion of the Wei Palace, he retreated into the background, doing all the work of handling paperwork, more than 20 years later, except for a few core members, not many people know that he is the ghost military advisor of the year.
Although Zhao Er is indeed a character, compared to the ghost military division, he is still a lot worse. He couldn't help but feel a little awe in his heart: "In this case, it is better to let me participate in this recruitment conference and destroy the Zhao family's conspiracy." That swallow ...... Hmph, I've been with him for a while, and it's still relatively sure to imitate his words. ”
Master Wu put down the teacup and knocked on the table gently: "No, you need to show your true face when you sign up, as soon as you go, you will be discovered by Zhao Xi, and if you arouse the vigilance of the Zhao family, our losses will be greater." ”
"That ......"
"Before Zhao Xi went upstairs, you said that he talked to someone, what kind of person was that?"
The dark shadow by the window thought for a while, and said: "I claim to be south, I ordered a lot of dishes, I don't know why, I also wear Yan Li's mask when I eat, I should also come to the conference." ”
Master Wu laughed slowly: "Why did Zhao Xi talk to him, I think I have a little clue." ”
"Oh?" said the dark shadow by the window.
Wu Dadao: "Zhao Xi has seen Yan Li, he should feel that Xiang Nan is more like himself, and he is worried that there will be unexpected variables, so he plans to buy him." He refused, and that's our chance. ”
The dark shadow next to the window said: "I heard that Zhao Xi is ruthless and will never let the threat go, so he will find a way to get rid of Xiang Nan." ”
"Yuge," Master Wu nodded with a smile, "The next thing you have to do is to protect his safety." ”
"I see. The black shadow next to the window took out a mask, covered his face, put away the silver gun behind his back, pushed the door out, went down to the lobby, sat down in front of Xiang Nan, and said coldly, "Xiang Nan, you have already come to a great disaster." My name is Bai Yi, and I'm here to protect you. ”
