Chapter 284: Cat Nine
According to the agreed location, when Xu Xingkong drove to a chic restaurant, the sun was already obscured by the tall buildings in the distance. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
After parking the car, Xu Xingkong walked along the cobblestone path to the main building along the path, and the side of the path was planted with osmanthus flowers, scattered with small yellow flowers, fragrant.
A little farther on, there are a few tall cypress trees, and in the middle of the small square opposite the building, there is usually a pond or something, but here it is a grapefruit tree of some age.
Xiaolu looked at the tree curiously and said:
"Xingkong, don't you think it's strange, how do you plant a tree there?"
"Feng Shui tree, this is a yin land, so all the planting is yang wood, and that tree is not simple, do you want to try it?"
Xiao Lu shook his head and said:
"Don't, I always feel that tree is weird, could it be a spirit tree?"
"Lingmu? That's a tree monster, this male tree monster is born to be the nemesis of ghosts, and this is the first time I've seen a living, unfinished tree monster. ”
Xiao Lu's eyes widened in surprise, and he couldn't help but look carefully at the grapefruit tree not far away.
"Tree monsters, I can't see it! Wait, isn't this an ordinary clubhouse? How can there be tree monsters, is it the territory of the demon clan?"
Xu Xingkong shook his head, took out his mobile phone and fiddled with it, and opened an electronic map that Ye Yaoxin got for him, which was different from ordinary electronic maps, this map was marked with a detailed map of the distribution of Pengcheng's forces, as well as a map of the distribution of public circles.
After the map was automatically located, Xu Xingkong enlarged the map a little, and the map showed the name of the restaurant and the forces to which it belonged, this is obviously still a public area, belonging to the ordinary community managed by Yushan Yuzhai, but this small famous restaurant characterized by special food, but it is run by a retired free practitioner, and his information does note that there is a non-gestalt pomelo tree monster, which is said to have been handed down by the ancestors, and it is pitiful that there is still no gestalt after more than 200 years, and there has always been only investment, and there is no return.
Seeing this, Xu Xingkong was also a little crying and laughing, this family of tree monsters is really stubborn, you must know that the formation of tree monsters is based on a hundred years, maybe it is possible for thousands of years.
But what makes Xu Xingkong even more interesting is why Lin Xiaotong chose here? Is it just a coincidence?
When Xu Xingkong saw a few familiar people in the corridor of the clubhouse, he understood what Lin Xiaotong's purpose was for letting him come to dinner, and those few people who were chatting and laughing in the corridor were several small shareholders of the logistics company and the person in charge of the Internet company from the magic capital.
Of course, these people didn't know Xu Xingkong, so Xu Xingkong walked over to them generously, of course, don't expect them to stand in the corridor and talk about some secret things, but Xu Xingkong noticed that among the people present, including their entourage, there were no serious cultivators, only one or two martial artists who seemed to have a bit of foundation.
To be on the safe side, Xu Xingkong still put a Yuan Ling Ripple Technique in his hand, making sure that there were no cultivators in the private room behind them, so he staggered past these fat-headed and big-eared upper-class characters with a smile.
In the kitchen of the clubhouse, a fat and strong cook suddenly stopped the movement in his hand, and let the frying pan in front of him sizzle, but he squinted his eyes as if listening to something, until an apprentice next to him touched him lightly, the chef looked down at the fragrant fish in the frying pan, and handed the spatula to the apprentice next to him:
"Come on, I'll do something. ”
"But Master, this is Mr. Hu's order, and his mouth is shy!"
"I said you can do it, you can do it, you can do it if you can! give yourself a little more confidence, well, that's it. ”
As he spoke, the big fat man rubbed his hand on the apron, then turned around and took off the apron and walked out, and the busy employees in the kitchen stepped aside, because he alone filled the entire kitchen aisle, and walked to the door, the fat man hung the apron on the coat hook, and the hat was also taken off and stuffed into the pocket of the apron, and then he looked down and checked his clothes, brushed his sparse hair with his hand, and then pushed open the spring door and walked out.
The employees in the kitchen looked at each other, their eyes were full of doubts, I really don't know who came outside, and it made the fat man of the boss and chef so nervous, could it be a woman?
Lin Xiaotong is very bold and well-informed, and the private room she ordered is just back-to-back with the private room of the group of shareholders, only separated by a thin double-layer soundproof fireproof board wall.
Seeing Xu Xingkong and Xiaolu pushing the door in, Lin Xiaotong left and greeted him with a smile, but she greeted Xiaolu instead of Xu Xingkong.
"Xiaolu, do me a favor, is there a way for me to hear the situation next door?"
Xu Xingkong rolled his eyes, ignored Xiao Lu's gaze, walked directly to the table in the private room and sat down, and slowly prepared tea and tableware for himself.
Seeing this, Xiao Lu pursed his lips and smiled, turned his head and said to Lin Xiaotong, who was looking forward to it:
"No problem, not only can you hear it, but you can see it. ”
Lin Xiaotong's beautiful eyes lit up, and she nodded with satisfaction and exclaimed:
"Really!
Xu Xingkong pursed his lips and said:
"It's called sister, it's really a force!"
Lin Xiaotong glanced at Xu Xingkong with dissatisfaction and said:
"Don't talk to no one when you're dumb, path, quick, how to get it?"
Xiao Lu smiled and walked to the wall, stretched out her hand gently, only to see her white fingers slowly press on the wallpaper, and then gradually disappeared into it, probably after the whole finger disappeared into the wall, Xiao Lu stopped, and after a while she showed a smile and said:
"Alright, now you can hold my hand. ”
Lin Xiaotong took a step forward, grabbed Xiaolu's outstretched left hand, and then exclaimed in a low voice, her body shook involuntarily, as if she was about to fall, but fortunately, an invisible wall suddenly appeared behind her, stabilizing her body.
"Mr. Lin, you have to close your eyes, otherwise the sensory conflict will cause vertigo. ”
Lin Xiaotong quickly glanced at Xu Xingkong, who was drinking tea with his head down, the corners of his mouth curled, closed his eyes and replied:
"Well, got it. ”
Lin Xiaotong stood up again, closed her eyes and didn't make a sound, at this moment she was sharing the senses of the path, to be precise, it should be perception, sharing perception, this is also the innate ability of ghosts, but most ghosts use this ability to scare people.
Xu Xingkong looked at it for a while, shook his head and said:
"You don't get tired from standing, you can't sit in your seat? ”
Xiao Lu smiled and said:
"yes! I didn't think of that. ”
Lin Xiaotong let go of Xiaolu's hand and glanced at Xiaolu angrily:
"Okay, the wings are stiff, now you dare to trick me, right?"
After speaking, Lin Xiaotong walked back to Xu Xingkong with her mouth puffed out, but before she could sit down, Xiaolu floated over directly and sat next to Xu Xingkong, Lin Xiaotong was so angry that she stared at her, but today she had a request for help, so she had to endure it.
Helplessly, Lin Xiaotong walked to the other side of Xu Xingkong and sat down, and when she raised her head again, she was already full of smiles, how could she be unhappy.
"Alright, Xiaolu, can we do it now?"
Xiao Lu grinned and conjured two ribbons, one shot into the wall behind him, and the other wrapped around Lin Xiaotong's right wrist like a spirit snake, Lin Xiaotong tried to move her arm, the ribbon had no power, and it would not hinder her arm movement.
Lin Xiaotong nodded with satisfaction, then reached out and knocked on the teacup in front of him, Xu Xingkong grinned and poured her a cup of tea.
"You drink this kind of tea too?"
"I'm so vain, when conditions permit, of course I don't mind pursuing a more refined life, if it's really like you say, I won't live?"
Xu Xingkong smiled and didn't take a stubble, and asked instead:
"What? Do you suspect that they have a private deal with their opponent?"
"Perhaps, although this kind of contact is also normal, and my dad has been in contact with him alone, but wouldn't it be better to know yourself and your opponent? ”
"You really like to worry about it. ”
"I just don't want my dad to bother, besides, it's just a gesture for you, no, it's not even a gesture, it's all the credit of Xiaolu, and you're just here to eat. ”
Xu Xingkong smiled when he heard this, nodded and said:
"Yes, I'm here to eat, but I'm not alone. ”
Lin Xiaotong was stunned, and then looked at Xu Xingkong in confusion, Xu Xingkong smiled and raised his hand to the door.
Lin Xiaotong turned his head to look, and there was a knock on the door of the private room, and then before Lin Xiaotong could speak, the door was pushed open, and the first thing that came into view was a large bouquet of yellow roses, and then a handsome guy in a white suit.
Lin Xiaotong was depressed and wanted to hit the wall, she slanted a glance at Xu Xingkong, who was shaking with a smile, and helplessly looked at the handsome guy who was smiling at the door and said:
"I said Li Xiaoworm, can't you let me stop for a while?"
The man named Li Xiaozhong was smiling, he didn't seem to care about Lin Xiaotong's impatient attitude at all, and after smiling at Lin Xiaotong, his eyes turned to Xu Xingkong, who was beside Lin Xiao at the same time, and looked carefully for a while before he spoke:
"Did you refuse my invitation to have dinner with him? What kind of family is this brother, and where did you make a fortune?"
This time it was Lin Xiaotong's turn to snicker, Xu Xingkong shook his head helplessly, it seems that this benevolent brother has never put himself in his eyes, this guy who will harass Lin Xiaotong every once in a while has met Xu Xingkong several times, and even walked face-to-face in the office corridor more than once, but there is no such person as Xu Xingkong in the eyes of others.
Xu Xingkong coughed, got up and said:
"Li Gongzi, my surname is Xu, I am not the son of any family, I am just Mr. Lin's assistant, we are here for business tonight, and it just so happens that the guest is not coming for a while. ”
"Ah, I see, forgive my clumsiness, it turned out to be Assistant Xu, hehe... The first time we met, we were fortunate to meet. ”
Li Xiaozhong said that he was lucky, but his eyes didn't even want to look at Xu Xingkong, he took the opportunity to talk to Xu Xingkong and walked to Lin Xiaotong's side, put the bouquet on the table, reached out and touched Xu Xingkong's hand very perfunctorily, and then sat on the other side of Lin Xiaotong.
Lin Xiaotong glared at Xu Xingkong dissatisfiedly, and sighed helplessly:
"Okay, since you're here, let's eat together, by the way, I'm not familiar with this place, you six sons of Pengcheng are all eating and drinking... That's everything, you can give me some food. ”
Li Xiaozhong's face stiffened slightly when he heard this, and then he nodded with a smile:
"You've found the right person, and I promise you'll be satisfied. ”
"Whatever, it's just a meal, hurry up and order, I'm hungry. ”
"Okay, please wait, hehe..."
Li Xiaozhong picked up the wireless pager on the desktop and pressed it, and before he could put the pager down, there was a knock on the door, this service, so fast!
"A few guests, excuse me, hehe..."
A neutral voice rushed into everyone's eardrums first, and what appeared in front of everyone with the voice was a big fat man wearing a cardigan, black cloth pants, and a pair of cloth shoes.
The big fat man who looked oily was very eye-catching, and when everyone was looking at him, he had quickly glanced at everyone present, and then his eyebrows twisted slightly, his eyes paused on Xiaolu's face, and then quickly slid towards Lin Xiaotong, and then fixed on Xu Xingkong's face.
"The contemptible cat Jiu, the owner and chef of this small restaurant, is really full of glory when you come today, and you are disappointed, atonement, atonement. ”
Li Xiao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, although he was a little inexplicable and strange to Mao Jiu's excessive politeness, he still quickly came back to his senses, his body straightened up unconsciously, his head was raised fifteen degrees, and he glanced at Lin Xiaotong with a smug look, and then said with a shelf:
"It's not weird, it's not weird, it's Boss Cat, your name is really interesting, Boss Cat, you came just in time, why don't you introduce us to your specialty dish." ”
Mao Jiu was stunned when he heard this, Xu Xingkong was secretly amused, and Lin Xiaotong looked at this somewhat inexplicable fat man with some suspicion. (To be continued.) )
