Chapter 67, making friends with beads
After hearing this, Han Qi turned around suddenly, only to see that the night pearl he had loved for a long time actually appeared in front of him.
"You, did you buy it?" Han Qi looked at the person holding the bead again, and opened his mouth wide in surprise.
"Yes, it's me. Li Ming replied with a smile on his face.
"Are you spying on me?" After saying this, Han Qi suddenly realized something, "What are you coming to my Han family for? I don't believe that you are just a doctor." ”
"I said I was in it for money, would you believe it?" Li Ming replied with a smile.
"You said you were in it for money?Che-you are willing to buy the Night Pearl and give it to me for money?Could it be that you were sent by the Xu family?" Han Qi questioned.
"Who said I was going to give it to you?" Li Ming put away the Night Pearl in his hand, looked at Han Qi and said, "Moreover, I can say with certainty that I have absolutely nothing to do with the Xu family. ”
"Hmph, I don't believe you. Say, what do you want?" Han Qi asked disdainfully.
"I don't want anything. Li Ming walked past Han Qi with his feet up, as if he hadn't seen this person at all.
"Wait-" Han Qi hurriedly stopped Li Ming, who was gradually leaving.
"Li Ming, how can you give me the Night Pearl?"
"Han Gongzi, your tone doesn't look like a pleading tone. ”
"You dare to taunt me?" Han Qi couldn't stand Li Ming's pretentious posture for a long time, and slammed his palm at Li Ming in the air.
Although the two were separated by a few meters, Han Qi's Flame Palm had already begun to take shape, and at this time, Han Qi made an angry move, and actually used fifty percent of his strength.
Immediately, a fiery air flow rushed straight towards Li Ming.
Li Ming had been on guard for a long time, but he didn't think that the other party's palm technique was so powerful, and he was suddenly taken aback in his heart.
In a hurry, he fell backwards sharply, and Fang Kankan dodged, but a fiery palm wind still made Li Ming's face hurt.
"You're crazy. Li Ming didn't care about the ugly posture, got up, and reproached angrily.
Seeing Li Ming so embarrassed, Han Qi was also afraid, fortunately, this kid was quite agile, otherwise, if he really slapped himself, he would be seriously injured. If you tell your grandmother again, your pursuit of Xu Ruolan will definitely be exposed.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. "As the eldest son of the Han family, Han Qi has very little experience in the rivers and lakes, and when he sees hurting people, he feels a little unbearable in his heart after all.
"It's fine, it didn't hurt, forget it. Li Ming pretended to be generous and said, "Are you willing to be friends with me?"
"What, be friends?" Han Qi was a little confused by the second monk.
"I mean, if I give you this pearl of the night, it will only be to make you a friend, a true friend. I don't know if you are willing?" Li Ming said with a sincere face.
"Make friends with me, you are a mortal, a family doctor?" Han Qi asked inexplicably.
"What's the matter? Han Gongzi thinks I can't climb high?"
"That's it?"
"Is that okay?"
"Okay, I recognize you as a friend, but if I find out in the future that your motives are not pure, don't blame me for turning my face and being ruthless. Han Qi threatened.
"Okay, no problem. With that, Li Ming threw the night pearl in his arms to Han Qi. Then he turned around and said in the smallest voice that the other party could hear: "If someone is willing to take a night pearl to be my friend, I really can't ask for it!"
Looking at Li Ming's departing back, Han Qi said to himself suspiciously: "Become a friend?
Now that the Night Pearl was in his hands, and he couldn't figure out what Li Ming was planning for the time being, Han Qi didn't bother to think about it, and hurriedly went to find a monk who was good at refining weapons and made the Night Pearl into a necklace with defensive attributes.
After Li Ming returned to the house, he first refined a furnace of longevity pills, and then ordered someone to send it to the jewelry store owner tomorrow.
The sunset slowly sinks into the western mountains, and the night gradually envelops the land. Taking advantage of the gap in alchemy, Li Ming quietly changed into night clothes, opened the bed, and slipped out of the tunnel that had already been opened.
Li Ming was familiar with hiding behind a rockery in the back garden of Hanfu, waiting for the opportunity to appear.
It turned out that Li Mingping used alchemy as a cover to secretly open a tunnel under his bed, leading directly to the guarded house, and arranged an exit behind one of the rockeries to facilitate observation.
During this time, Li Ming inadvertently found that people from the Han family often came in and out of here, and even sometimes Old Madam Han would come here, and people would often stay inside for two or three hours before coming out.
Is there some secret hidden in it? Or, like myself, the house is just a cover, when in fact there is another passage inside?
Li Ming didn't dare to go directly to investigate there, so if he wanted to find out the situation, he could only find out some useful news through Han Qi.
These days, Li Ming also heard that the year before last, the Han family and the Xu family fought for a mine. The mine originally belonged to the Han family, but the Han family did not know its value at first. Due to a heavy rain, a mudslide caused a mudslide, which washed out the jade rough hidden in the mountain, that is, the wood spar. At the same time as the Xu family received the news, they gathered people and started several battles with the Han family. During the fight, both sides were killed and wounded by each other. Later, in order to seize the mine, the two sides notified their respective backers, namely the Snow Shadow Gate and the Nine Hidden Valleys.
Subsequently, this fight escalated from two families to two sects, and later, it also alarmed the elders of the two sects. In the end, in order to avoid further escalation of the war, the two sides agreed: This mine will be mined by the Han family for the time being, but fifty percent of the spars obtained will be handed over to the Snow Shadow Gate. The other fifty percent is shared by the Han family, the Xu family and the Nine Hidden Valley.
Since this is the first year that the agreement has been reached, the Han family will transport the spar to the Xu family before the year, and then transfer it from the Xu family to the Nine Hidden Valley.
These days, Old Madam Han has been worrying about the distribution of spars. According to the original agreement, the Han family left two percent of the spar and transported the three percent to the Xu family, and then the Xu family sent some of the spars to the Nine Hidden Valley. But seeing that such a huge amount of wood spar was given to the enemy for nothing, even if it was a well-informed old lady Han, she was very reluctant in her heart.
In addition, he is old, at most in another ten years, I am afraid that he will die, and the Xu family has always been eyeing the mine again at any time. Therefore, Mrs. Han had no choice but to ask for help from the Snow Shadow Gate, hoping that the Snow Shadow Gate could help the Han family solve this crisis based on the interests of her ex-husband and the moment.
And the Snow Shadow Gate also sent a messenger in the name of congratulating the birthday this time to discuss the matter of the mine and the plan within ten years with Mrs. Han.
Since the mine's accounts are supervised by someone else, they cannot be changed. Therefore, Old Madam Han wanted to do something on the spar. Since the newly mined jadeite rough stones, it is impossible to accurately distinguish the size and purity of the spars contained in them, so it is necessary to rely on experience to pick out the higher quality of the higher grade for their own use, the slightly lower grade of the Shanggong Snow Shadow Gate, and the lowest quality to the Xu family.
These days, the two sons of the Han family, as well as Uncle Han, have been involved in the work of identifying rough stones. They smuggled the rough back from the mine into storage bags, sorted it overnight, and returned it the next day in separate areas to make it easier to separate. Because it was carried out in secret, except for Li Ming's accidental discovery, no one else in the Han Mansion knew about it.
