Chapter 109: Perceived Movement
Qi Rong sat in the study, he couldn't see any emotion on his face, he just looked at a booklet in his hand, and after reading it, he didn't look up and said lightly, "Everyone has been dealt with? â
The man in black stood behind, half-hunched and replied neatly, "Rest assured, the other party is now speechless, unable to move, and has been firmly guarded, and the dead body has also been arranged, Mr. Gongsun said that as long as the poison on the other party's body is broken, you can get the news you want." â
Qi Rong quietly put down the booklet, indicating that he was quite satisfied with the work of his subordinates, "Mr. Gongsun has always handled things safely, and Shi Jundao also deserves it." â
After saying this, Qi Rong paused for a moment before continuing, "How is the situation over there in the Ling Mansion?"
The man in black frowned and thought for a moment before speaking, "Back to the Lord, the Ling Mansion has been quiet and uneventful, and there have been no accidents. â
Qi Rong tilted his head sideways, obviously not getting the answer he wanted, but he still opened his mouth and asked, "Young lady, is there anything abnormal?"
The man in black frowned, and finally lowered his head and said, "The young lady is safe, there is nothing unusual, and the batch of Western bees in the secret room also had a problem, and more than half of them died of poisoning." â
After listening to the report of the man in black, Qi Rong's starry eyes were deep, narrowed slightly, and his voice was low but powerful, "I know, the Ling Mansion is guarding the safety of the young lady, and if there is any accident, save the young lady first, and report it quickly." â
"Also, Miss Shangguan's manpower, part of the withdrawal will be at your disposal, and the situation in the palace cannot be relaxed, this time to send troops, we must not let King Yu's people take power, this must be brought to the general." â
The man in black stood up and bowed, his posture was rigorous and upright, and he lowered his head and gave a brief response, "Yes, Lord!"
The man in black behind him was about to leave. Qi Rong looked at the pamphlet in front of him and raised his hand to stop, "Wait a minute, don't reveal the news from Luozhou yet." Follow the clues and continue to investigate. â
"Subordinates obey!"
Qi Rong glanced sideways at his back, "What's the matter?"
The man in black hurriedly said, "Back to the young master, it seems that someone has been targeting the surrounding mansion recently......"
Di Bugui's answer was a little hesitant. Although the words were powerful, the love in it was still noticed by Qi Rong, and his eyes flashed and he said coldly, "Why, didn't you find out the identity of the other party?"
Di Bugui bowed his head, "The subordinates are not doing well, please punish the Lord!"
Qi Rong's voice was cold, and he didn't say anything about the punishment, "How long has it been since you found out?"
Di Bugui explained, "There is more than half a moon. The other party's actions are strange, his motives for Qi Mansion are vague, and he has never made a move, but according to the observation of his subordinates, the other party has deep internal strength, and he is by no means an ordinary housekeeper, more like a privately raised dead soldier in the rivers and lakes, well-trained and very capable of maneuvering. â
When Qi Rong heard Di Bugui's discovery, the name of the first suspect immediately flashed in his mind. I was a little unhappy when I heard the other party say that he had never made a move, but I didn't expect the other party to look up to himself, and even used the dead soldiers. But he is not a good person, since he has been sent to the door, he looks down on the other party if he does not accept the invitation.
Di Bugui saw that Qi Rong didn't say anything for a moment, and knew that the matter was important at this time, and he must have provoked Qi Rong, and standing beside him in black clothes was even more secretive and had no sense of zĂ i. Until Qi Rong opened his mouth and said, "Since you haven't made a move yet, don't alarm the other party yet, secretly check the other party's origin and number of paths, and wait and see what happens." â
After Qi Rong finished saying all his orders, Di Bugui retreated, Qi Rong sat alone at the desk, gently rubbing the booklet in his hand, and thinking of Bao Qi's current situation, his eyes were deep, and he sighed silently.
Knock Knock Knock -
Qi Rong listened to the knock on the door coming from outside, and did not move, but just swept the direction of the door, and listened to the voice of a woman coming in from outside, "Young Master, the slave maid listens to the sound in the house, may I ask what the young master has to command?"
Qi Rong's eyebrows moved, staring in the direction of the door, and said lightly as usual, "It's nothing, I accidentally touched the table." â
Helan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The eldest young master is fine, noon is almost here, what are the requirements for lunch, the slave maid should go to the kitchen and order it earlier." â
Helan's voice was cautious and cramped, as if she was afraid that she would not serve well, and the first time she was in charge of this, she went on a business trip, so she came to ask.
Qi Rong said lightly, "It's good as usual, you can go." â
"Yes, young master......"
As soon as he heard the voice outside, Qi Rong seemed to remember something, and suddenly spoke again, "Wait a minute." â
ââŚâŚ What does the eldest young master command?" Helan's voice suppressed nervousness and urgency, and he paused for a moment before responding hurriedly, as if he was startled by this sudden voice.
The corners of Qi Rong's lips hooked imperceptibly, and his voice remained unchanged and said steadily, "Let Qi An come in." â
The voice outside breathed a sigh of relief again, "Yes, eldest young master." â
Not long after, Qi An came into the house, standing honestly in front of the desk, but with a pair of smiling eyes on his face, he was very energetic, and he blinked and saluted, "I've seen the eldest young master, I don't know if you pass on the slave, what do you command?"
Qi Rong swept the closed door and smiled silently, then looked at Qi An in front of him, and said in a warm voice, "Where were you just now?"
Qi An scratched his head and replied seriously, "Minion, just guarding nearby, you haven't left our yard." â
After saying that, he was a little nervous, and after carefully looking at Qi Rong, he lowered his head and said, "What happened to the eldest young master? If the slave is negligent, he is willing to be punished!"
Qi Rong saw him suddenly like this, waved his hand to let Qi An relax, the corners of his lips smiled, and his eyes darkened, "You are in the courtyard, she is standing at the door, have you heard any unusual movements?"
Qi An seemed to understand a little now, and seemed to understand what Qi Rong meant, but he couldn't understand Qi Rong's thoughts and expressions, and after thinking about it, he shook his head truthfully, "The slave didn't hear any sound, what happened to the eldest young master?!, the slave was negligent!"
After saying that, Qi An was about to kneel down and apologize, as if he was extremely ashamed that he didn't hear it.
Qi Rong smiled and let him get up, lowered his eyes to look at the things on the desk, and said slowly, "With your skills, if there is any sound in the room, you can detect it, but today, it was discovered by a maid before you, tell me, how will the young master punish you today?"
"Huh?â(âoâ)"
Qi An was surprised, looked up a little stunned, and immediately understood what Qi Rong meant after a while, stood up straight and said with surprise and worry, "It's not that there is a voice in the room, but the other party's purpose, is to spy on the young master?!"
Qi Rong's smile was not suppressed, but he didn't smile at all, looking at the faint shadow of the tree outside the door, and ordered Qi An like this, so that he retreated.
