Chapter 46: The Auction
"Hey, that's right, Xiao Qi, why should a family talk about two families. ”
Yeqi: ......
What the hell is Xiao Qi?Uncle Ling, you really don't see outside!!
While a few people were talking, they came to the door of the lady of the Ling City Lord, and the two maids guarding the door saw the master coming, saluted, and took the initiative to open the door.
On the bronze sandalwood carved and hollowed out bed, a soft-looking woman lay peacefully on it, her face as ruddy as when Yeqi first saw her.
The maid on the side took out the hand of the city lord's wife from the brocade quilt with a lot of eyes, and Yeqi probed the pulse, and the pulse beat soothing and powerful.
Ye Qi's brows stretched, it seems that he has really taken care of him very carefully in the past few days, and the Ling family's father and son, who have been staring at Ye Qi, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
Ling Xiao couldn't wait to say, "Seventh brother, what's wrong with my mother?" Although he could guess a thing or two from Seventh Brother's face, he still wanted to hear the result with his own mouth.
"The recovery is not bad!"
"That's good, that's good. And what do we do with the snow ice lotus we get?"
"Bring it!" Ye Qi said as he stretched out a hand, and Ling Xiao hurriedly took out the jade box and put it in Ye Qi's hand.
The sound of the jade box opening was crisp in the silence of the room.
Yeqi looked at the snow ice lotus in the jade box, which was as white as frost and bubbling with a trace of cold air, and raised his hand to pick a petal.
The petals were cold to the bone, but they exuded bursts of elegant fragrance, and Ye Qi put the petals in his hand into the mouth of the lady of the Ling City Lord.
This petal is also very magical, the moment it is put in the mouth, it actually emits a brilliant starlight, and the moment the light dissipates, the petal has already melted.
The movements in Ye Qi's hand did not stop, and five petals were put in the mouth of the lady of Ling Cheng one after another, until the petals that were finally put in his mouth did not melt immediately, Ye Qi stopped, got up and handed the jade box in his hand back to Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao took it with some hesitation, "This, that's good!"
"Well, that's it!"
"Then when will my mother wake up?"
"Wait until this petal in your mother's mouth melts, and your mother will wake up. ”
"Really, really? How long does that take?"
"It's as fast as this evening, as slow as a day. ”
Then Ye Qi looked at City Lord Ling as if he had thought of something again, "By the way, Uncle Ling, did you find out the cause of Mrs. Zun's poisoning last time?"
"Why, what is the reason? Could it be that my mother is harmed?" Ling Xiao on the side listened to the conversation between the two people without a beginning or an end, but instantly understood what they were talking about.
When the City Lord Ling heard what Ye Qi said, his happy face instantly turned cold, and he glanced at Ling Xiao lightly.
"Not yet, last time Xiao Qi said that it was the maid who was waiting close next to my wife. In the past few days, I have personally done everything I have, and at the same time I have sent more people to my wife's side. I'm afraid he didn't find a chance to do it. ”
Ye Qi nodded and said randomly, "Uncle Ling, until your wife wakes up, you must step up your precautions, this time is very important, if someone takes this petal from your wife's mouth, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
"I'm coming, I'm guarding by my mother's side!" Ling Xiao blurted out on the side.
City Lord Ling waved his hand, "Xiao'er, you go back and rest first, I've worked hard for you for so many days, this matter is my father's own idea!" Ling Xiao saw that his father was so insistent, so he nodded.
A few people were talking in the house, but they didn't notice that a little maid with a bun and a pink shirt who was guarding outside the hidden door heard the voice talking inside.
The ears moved slightly, the eyes turned twice, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in the eyes of the lowered head, and then returned to the original innocent and kind little girl.
The time to return home always passes very quickly, the sky is getting darker and darker, and the Luoling City at night is still prosperous, singing and dancing.
The City Lord's Mansion was particularly lively today, and the lady of the Ling City Lord was finally cured after being in a coma for three months.
The lord of Ling City ordered that a three-day flowing water seat be set up in Luoling City, and the tax would be exempted for three months, and the people who were sitting in the city were very excited and lively.
The lights in the city lord's mansion are bright, the maids come and go, the fragrance is overflowing, and even outsiders passing by at the gate can feel the lively and grand scene of the city lord's mansion.
The huge Ling family living room is suitable for guests.
The City Lord Ling, who was sitting on the main seat, got up and raised the white jade wine glass to everyone.
"This banquet tonight, firstly, is to thank the Seventh Prince for saving my wife, and secondly, for the brothers of the Ye family who Xiao'er has befriended in his heart. All in all, today is a good day, an exciting day. I'll do this wine first. ”
After speaking, he raised his head in a chic manner, rolled his Adam's apple up and down twice, and a few drops of clear wine flowed down his lips.
City Lord Ling wiped his hand indifferently, "Come, everyone drink! ”
Then with a wave of his hand, rows of beautiful dancing girls fluttered in from the door, and the musicians waiting on the side played musical instruments, and the dancing girls danced, and for a while, singing and dancing were full of eyes.
Ling Cheng Lord and the night court next to him talked, Ling Xiao saw that this song and dance was really boring, so he walked over from the side and directly added a seat between Ye Qi and Ye Shuyi and sat down.
"Seventh brother, Shu Yi, have you heard? There will be a grand auction in Luoling City in a few days. ”
"I heard about this in the teahouse today, it seems to be an auction held by the Nine Great Families and the Ouyang Family. I heard that it was a certain disciple of the Ouyang family who got a very huge treasure. I want to take advantage of this auction to find a capable person in another world to open that treasure. ”
Ye Qi looked at Ye Shuyi with interest, "Treasure, what treasure?"
"Today, I heard from the people in the teahouse that it seems to be a thing ten meters square and about the size of a house. But there was no door, and I didn't know where to open to enter. ”
Yeqi raised her eyebrows slightly, ten meters square, the size of the house, how could this thing be so similar, her ark!
"Where is the auction held?"
"The Ouyang family is going to open an auction branch in Luoling City, and on Fuyuan Street, this auction is to announce their beginning. ”
Yeqi noted down the location and nodded.
Then he turned to look at Ling Xiao, "By the way, Ling Xiao, the person you asked you to find last time, has there been any news for so many days?"
Yeqi didn't forget her main purpose of saying that she was talking about the early morning, the old man Wu who promised at the beginning, and also helped him find his little granddaughter.
"Do you remember that fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl who lives in the West End......?
Ling Xiao's voice changed, "When we went to the polar regions, I sent some people to secretly investigate in the Western District, and it should still be under investigation now, and it will take some time." ”
Ye Qi nodded slightly, "By the way, Ling Xiao, do you remember the old man who was a poisonous witch when we were in the ghost village in the West District?"
"The old man who is a poisonous witch who likes to use poison very much, and is in the company of poisonous insects all day long?"
"Yes, that's it. Ling Xiao clapped his hands excitedly.
"Speaking of that old witch makes me angry. It was the day we met the demons, and then I didn't know which ghost place I turned to, and I was bitten on the lip by a poisonous snake. If it weren't for Brother Qi, I wouldn't know what my lips would be swollen into. Shuyi, you don't know. ”
Speaking of this, Ling Xiao's voice lowered slightly, and said in a voice that only a few of them could hear, "That old man who is a poisonous witch is a veritable pretender, I don't know how many people have been deceived by him, he is not an old man at all. ”
"And this thing!" Ye Shuyi said in surprise. Ye Qi's eyes sank when he heard what Ling Xiao said.
"Do you remember where you were turning?"
Ling Xiao looked at Yeqi, "What's the matter, Seventh Brother?"
"Did you ever say you saw a little girl in that place?" Ling Xiao rolled his eyes to the upper left and thought for a moment.
"Yes, I met a little girl. ”
"There are also a lot of poisonous snakes and poisonous insects there. ”
"Yes!ah!" Ling Xiao's eyes widened instantly, "Seventh brother, seventh brother, it won't be! You don't mean that this old man of the poisonous witch is that little girl, right?"
Yeqi nodded, thinking of the last complicated glance at the old man who was in the ghost village. Lowering his eyes, the bold guess came back to his mind.
"More than that, I doubt ......"
Before he could say the rest of his words, he was interrupted by a hurried shout.
The old housekeeper's face was full of excitement, and he ran over panting, "Master, little master, Madame is awake, Madame is awake." ”
The city lord of Ling, who was drinking and talking with the night court on the side, stood up in an instant, his eyes were a little warm, and a big man who was more than one meter eight was a little overwhelmed with excitement for a while, and said incoherently.
"Really, she woke up in a dream, she really woke up!"
"Really, my mother she's awake!" Ling Xiao asked in disbelief.
"Really, really, ma'am, she's really awake. The old butler said excitedly again.
"Seventh brother, did you hear that? Seventh brother, my mother is awake. Ling Xiao excitedly hugged Yeqi beside him.
The four eyes of the shadow standing behind Yeqi widened instantly, wait, wait, wait. What's going on?
The ninth master has not yet figured out the feelings of the girl this night, is it possible that there will be an inexplicable more love rival?
No, no, as the shadow guard of the Ninth Master, he should swear to defend the people that the Ninth Master likes. But what do you want to say?
The shadow four here have been entangled in his heart, but Ling Xiao over there instantly let go of Yeqi, and he felt that something was wrong with the hug just now, but he couldn't say it.
What's more, the great joy that his mother had woken up at this time filled his whole mood, and he didn't bother to pay attention to these things at all.
City Lord Ling turned to look at everyone, "Everyone, Neiko has woken up, it seems that I am going to leave the table for a while, and I hope you have a good time." ”
Yeting also stood up, "Brother Ling, you can just go as much as you want, we will not be polite, we will treat this place as our own place as you said." Hahaha!"
"Brother Night is a cheerful person, next time, next time we will have a good drink together. Saying that, the father and son of the Ling family went to Mrs. Ling's room with Yeqi.
The old housekeeper on the side looked at the happy appearance of the father and son, hesitated for a few moments, and finally spoke.
"But, sir......"
