Chapter 36: Too Smart
It was getting bright, but it was raining lightly. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info spring rain moisturizes things, but in this cold winter night, it also reveals a coldness.
Murong Lingfeng tightened the cloak that Scarlet Sakura had draped on her body, leaned in front of the window, listening to the sound of rain outside, "It's been so long, and you haven't come back?"
Scarlet Sakura stood behind her and snickered, who said she wasn't worried just now? Daimo tugged at her sleeve to tell her to restrain herself, and nodded apologetically to the eldest lady of the Qian family.
The little boy didn't come out for a long time, and they were waiting outside in a hurry, so they simply knocked on the door and came into the house to accompany them. Murong Lingfeng knew that they refused to leave, so he didn't drive them out again. It was strange cold outside, and the two sisters were frozen, and the little boy felt uncomfortable.
There were so many people in the house, Qian Zifei did not show displeasure, but tried his best to keep them. In her words, the chaos outside is not very peaceful, maybe when the monsters will attack the Qian Mansion, everyone can take care of each other, even if they can't escape in the end, they are not alone with someone on Huangquan Road.
Dai Mo frowned when she heard this, this eldest lady seemed to have calculated that they would inevitably die here today, no matter how desperate every sentence is, every sentence is so unlucky.
Murong Lingfeng didn't care what Qian Zifei said, she kept lying by the window and fell asleep. Scarlet Sakura put a cloak on her and stood behind her in a hurry. Son, if you are sleepy, go back to your room and lie on the bed and sleep comfortably, this window is strangely cold, your body is weak and frostbitten and you have to drink those bitter medicine soups, why bother?
Murong Lingfeng was groggy, but he didn't really fall asleep. She kept her ears listening to what was going on outside.
The roars of the monsters faded away, replaced by the sound of uniform steps, and the occasional sound of horses' hooves stomping on the ground was heard, like troops from somewhere passing through the streets.
Xiao Gongzi knew that Yun Mo had most of the situation under control, so the next step was to catch the mastermind. Thinking of the black Wan Niang Tower, Murong Lingfeng was not calm. Pinwu has no gift strategy, she can trust Yun Mo, but if the other party plays tricks and uses witchcraft to calculate him, Yun Mo has no way to fight against him. The little boy touched his lips, hoping that the blood mark she left behind that day would have a starting point.
Time passed minute by minute, Murong Lingfeng was sleepy, and he couldn't help but worry, he had already known that he would follow, and it was better than not being in decline like now.
"Xuzhou Mansion is an eventful place. Qian Zifei shook the cradle and said without a word, "Three years ago, there was a big mess here, and I told my father that I wanted him to move to a neighboring county, but he just didn't listen, so he caused this unwarranted disaster!"
Murong Lingfeng rubbed her eyes and sat up, she turned her head to look at Boss Qian who was lying on the bed, "It wasn't just Quanxi Village that caused chaos in Xuzhou Mansion three years ago. If Quanxi Village is a big mess, then Qianfu can be regarded as a small mess. Therefore, Boss Qian is a villain, and there should be this catastrophe in his life, and it is useless to hide anywhere. β
Qian Zifei frowned, "What does the divine doctor mean by this? Isn't the incident of three years ago already in the past? The damned ones are dead, and the ones who should leave are gone! My Qian Mansion is clean and clean, and where did it come from?"
When she said this, Murong Lingfeng narrowed her eyes, and her attitude was no longer as casual as before, "Eldest Miss is saying who deserves to die, and who deserves to go?"
Qian Zifei was stunned for a moment, and looked down at the child in the cradle, "Naturally, it's Aunt Eight and Zhao Yuanzhi." β
"I don't know about Aunt Eight, but Zhao Yuanzhi ......" Murong Lingfeng left half a sentence and didn't continue, "Actually, these are all illusions, and Qian Mansion and Quanxi Village are still the same evil in the final analysis." β
Qian Zifei didn't understand, "The more the divine doctor really said, the more confused Zifei became." In that Quanxi Village, the villagers were unrighteous and contracted a strange disease, and my Qian Mansion was unclear about people, and led wolves into the house, how could it be the same evil?"
"Eldest Lady really doesn't know?" Murong Lingfeng's gentlemanly eyes stared at Qian Zifei, "All the disasters in Xuzhou Mansion are caused by the red land of ten miles of strange fragrance in the final analysis. β
Qian Zifei's hand holding the railing tightened suddenly, and a strange smile cracked into the corner of his mouth, "That red earth is just a piece of land that has changed color, can it still attract demons and monsters?"
"There are no demons and ghosts, after all, in the ghost place of Zhantian Road, the aura is so thin that there is almost none, and it is impossible to cultivate into a demon. Murong Lingfeng spread out her hands, obviously dissatisfied with this, but as soon as she changed her words, she suddenly lowered her voice mysteriously, "But it's true that there is a treasure down there." β
Qian Zifei's eyes flickered, "What baby?"
"The legendary Seven Elixir Ideas - Earth Fire Spirits. β
Qian Zifei also became nervous when she heard this, "Is that fire spirit hidden under the red earth?" she thought about it and felt unlikely, "But they didn't find anything when they dug three feet into the ground before, could it be that they didn't dig deep enough?"
"Of course the Earth Fire Spirit can't be under the red earth, if that's the case, Xuzhou Mansion would have to be burned down a long time ago. In fact, the earth fire spirit is ...... "The little boy didn't say anything halfway through his words, it made people's hearts itch!" But when Boss Qian wakes up, you can ask him, he is your father, and he probably won't hide it from you. β
Qian Zifei looked at the sleeping Boss Qian in surprise, with a look of disbelieving, "How could Dad know?"
Murong Ling's mouth was a little dry, and he reached out to Dai Mo to ask for tea, and by the way, he refreshed himself, "It can only be said that Boss Qian is too smart, otherwise how could he start from scratch and earn such a huge family business in just over twenty years." Boss Qian didn't go in and found the right direction, and invited the right person. To obtain the seven elixirs, except for the Nine Deaths Valley, which does not ask about the world, only the Qing Xuanmen, whose medical skills are second only to the Nine Deaths Valley, can do it. "Boss Qian took the opportunity of his son's full moon to invite the two remaining heirs of Qingfeng and Qingya, just to ask the two Venerables to help him take out the fire essence of the treasure hidden in Xuzhou Mansion. "It's a pity that this thing has been targeted by people for a long time. As soon as the red earth comes out, the secrets of the Earth Fire Spirits will be revealed sooner or later. It's not okay to let others take the treasure that has been guarded for most of his life, so the person made the first move, pushing the two mountains of Quanxi Village and Qianfu, making Quanxi Village a ghost village, and those monsters who survived could only hide in the ghost village, guarding the secret for him for the rest of his life. β
"And what about the Qian Mansion?" Murong Lingfeng looked at Boss Qian's eyes full of appreciation, "So I said that Boss Qian is a smart person, as soon as something happened to the Qian Mansion, he sensed what the problem was, and immediately reined in the precipice, the wealth that should be scattered was scattered, the money that should be sent away was sent away, and the one who should be left was snubbed." Leaving a look that the Qian Mansion had withered and decayed, the people behind the scenes temporarily let him go, leaving a way for the Qian Mansion to survive. Murong Lingfeng's gaze moved away from Boss Qian and met Qian Zifei's eyes, "However, if he wants to stay, his subordinates don't seem to be too willing to give it." Isn't that right, Miss?"
Qian Zifei stared at Murong Lingfeng for a long time, and finally stopped having a pitiful little woman's face, she straightened her back and looked at Murong Lingfeng with a smile, "The divine doctor is wrong." The master never intended to let go of the Qian Mansion, but the time had not yet come. β
"So now is the time?" Murong Lingfeng asked rhetorically.
Qian Zifei stretched out his hand and touched Boss Qian's face, "The master has never wanted a down-and-out Qian family, but he has a fancy for a large rice grain household that controls half of Nanchu grain." You say that the Qian family is declining? The Qian family is just gone, and what my father broke up is just a family, and the foundation he has worked hard for most of his life has not been damaged at all. β
Qian Zifei put his hand on Boss Qian's neck and slowly strengthened it, "There is no one in the Qian family anymore." The heir that my father always wanted died just after birth; my daughter-in-law Qian Zixi ran to the Niangniang Temple to see through the red dust and didn't ask about mundane things; the youngest daughter Qian Zilu was just 16 years old, what does the little girl know? Who will obey her? If my father dies again, then I will not come back at this time to fight for the family property, but to put out the fire. β
Murong Lingfeng frowned, "After all, it's your father, and they are your family after all, how could you help outsiders fight your own family's idea?"
"Hahaha, you're so naΓ―ve. Qian Zifei smiled a little desolately, "It's not your father who gave birth to you, and it's your relatives who don't live under the same roof with you." It depends on whether he treats you as a daughter, and whether they treat you as a relative. You say I'm helping outsiders?, in fact, I'm not an outsider in this Qian Mansion from beginning to end?" she removed her hand from Boss Qian's neck, "Don't worry, I've thought of a hundred ways to kill him, and I'll let him try them one by one." β
A salute suddenly sounded outside the window, Murong Lingfeng pushed open the window, and saw a silver dragon explode in midair, and finally suppressed the worry in his heart, "It seems that you don't have this opportunity." β
Qian Zifei also seemed to feel a little regretful, looked at Boss Qian and shook his head and sighed, "Yes, it's a pity." However, she didn't have the slightest nervousness of a loser, and her fingers lingered around Boss Qian's neck, "I'm leaving! β
Before she could finish speaking, the door was suddenly kicked open, and Zhao Yuanzhi and Aunt Eight broke in holding Qian Zilu hostage. At the same time, Hu Yun also made a move, he sneaked up on Murong Lingfeng from behind, but fortunately, Scarlet Ying reacted in time and stopped Hu Yun, and the two fought.
A few little maids jumped down from the roof, and without saying a word, raised their swords and stabbed at Murong Lingfeng. Dai Mo escorted the little boy to retreat to the wall, raised her leg and kicked the two away, but she wondered very much in her heart, these little girls are ordinary maids in Qianfu, and they don't know martial arts, how did they become so powerful overnight?
Qian Zilu was strangled too tightly by the eighth aunt, but she cried and called her mother, she didn't understand what was going on, her mother was obviously dead, why did she come back when she opened her eyes, but she didn't seem to know her anymore, and even wanted to kill her!
Qian Zifei didn't care about the chaos in the house, she took out a dagger from her arms, looked at Boss Qian and shook her head, "I have prepared so much for you, but unfortunately you can't see it." Father, you won't be good to your daughter, will you?" her nails scratched Boss Qian's eyes, nose, and cheeks, "But you see, I have already brought you your little daughter, and I will soon send her down to accompany you." Oh, by the way, and your favorite Qian Zixi, you wait on Huangquan Road, and I will send her down, do you say okay? You must be beautiful, right? Then will you still remember my mother? The woman who has been waiting for you for more than ten years? She didn't even want a home for you, but you abandoned him in the ravine and ignored him. Qian Zifei shed two tears, and his expression became more and more hideous, "You men only care about those young and beautiful, and never look back at those poor women who have given their youth and everything for you." You men should be damned!"
As he spoke, Qian Zifei raised the dagger high, "Die! Go down and confess to my mother!" The dagger stabbed towards Boss Qian's heart.
However, the scene of Qian Zifei's expected blood splashing did not appear. Boss Qian suddenly made a move and firmly grabbed Qian Zifei's wrist.
He opened his eyes and looked at Qian Zifei with a deep gaze. Qian Zifei was so shocked that he let go. While Boss Qian caught the dagger, he raised his leg and kicked at Qian Zifei's faΓ§ade. The latter will dodge and take a few steps back. She looked flustered and couldn't understand why her father, who was already terminally ill, was suddenly so energetic and vigorous, in her memory, Boss Qian was just a shrewd businessman, but he never knew how to do anything.
Boss Qian jumped up from the bed and stood face to face with Qian Zifei, she took off her heavy coat, revealing the soft armor inside, and raised her hand to tear off the human skin mask on her face.
Qian Zifei's eyes widened and looked at her incredulously, "Why are you!"
The man curled the corners of his mouth slightly, "Long time no see, eldest sister." β
