Chapter Ninety-Six: Night Talk
A cup of tea, a plate of brown sugar honeyed fruit and red date cake, put on the table, there is no other tea to accompany the tea.
Qin Shoucheng sat in front of the desk, and the store specially asked the store to add a fire for him, it was just winter, but Qin Shoucheng was more afraid of the cold than ordinary people, and the quilt covered by his body had already added another layer.
Qin Shoucheng sat facing the window, and the lit poinsettia attic came into view. Suddenly, a black shadow flew on the eaves of the poinsettia roof, Qin Shoucheng looked fixedly, only to see that it was a "crow" that was more than one circle larger than usual, Qin Shoucheng shook his head helplessly, and scolded in his heart: There are many little ghosts, and the days are restless.
After taking a sip of warm tea, Qin Shoucheng felt that his body was a lot warmer, and put a piece of jujube cake in the mouth of the tea, and the sweet and greasy taste made Qin Shoucheng frown.
"This jujube cake is still too sweet. Qin Shoucheng seemed to be talking to himself, and took another sip of tea, and the greasy feeling in his mouth faded slightly.
"Red dates and candied fruit are all ingredients for blood nourishment, you should eat more. As soon as Qin Shoucheng's words fell, the simple wooden door was pushed open, and a person walked in with staggering steps. The cold wind that came in from outside the door made Qin Shoucheng tighten the quilt. With the wind, a smell of wine with a floral fragrance also wafted into Qin Shoucheng's nostrils.
"Hot ginger tea is also a good tea for hangover, and it is about to enter the inner city, but it is not as calm as listening to the sea pavilion, it is better to be sober. Qin Shoucheng took out an empty teacup, pushed it to the opposite side of the table, and poured a cup of steaming ginger tea for Xue Ding, who was drunk.
In this kind of wet and cold weather, a cup of ginger tea is a great hot drink.
"When I get rid of hangover, my stomach is uncomfortably empty, and when the east soil is in winter, there is a famine, and there is little fresh food, and eating these bacon that has been marinated for some year is simply tormenting my stomach. Xue Ding complained, but he still took the teacup and drank it all, "Whew, it's a lot warmer!"
"I came to the City of Innocence this time to rely on you, and I don't know if you were drunk or confused, or if you had forgotten the three lofts under your command. As a big boss sitting on the street in the inner city of the innocent city, he actually hurt his brain for the sake of appetite, and he will inevitably be laughed at by outsiders when he says it, right?" Qin Shoucheng said helplessly.
"Hmm...... It seems that it is, I let a few little girls under my command do it, and I don't know what it looks like. Xue Ding looked like he didn't care about himself, and he didn't know what kind of wealth and power it represented to have a street in the inner city of Innocence. A restaurant like Poinsettia that is making money every day is not eligible to enter the inner city.
However, it is true that after the onset of winter, the smuggling merchants in southern Xinjiang and Zhongzhou rarely smuggled food ingredients to Dongtu for sale due to the road and cold weather. The City of Innocence happened to be in the middle of the Eastern Soil, which was too far away for the Black Coast and the other two regions. Qin Shoucheng put a piece of jujube cake in his mouth and drank a sip of ginger tea to dilute the sweetness in his mouth. Before the night was halfway over, the tea was already half drunk.
"I'm afraid there will be chaos outside the city again. Qin Shoucheng frowned, "Hasn't Tong Ba come back yet, what is going on in the northern suburbs?"
"No matter how big something happens, Xing Tang of Innocence City is in charge, and no matter how bad it is, there is still the Tianji Camp. On the surface, Dongtu is regarded as a place of exile, but in fact, I don't know how many hunters are secretly watching every move of Innocence City. Xue Ding waved his hand.
"Don't forget what we're for, it's not really to spend the winter here. All clues that may be related to Zhen Cangmu cannot be let go. Qin Shoucheng said solemnly.
"Yes, yes...... It's all for our old ten, but he doesn't know your intentions, and even Tong Ba thinks that you handed over such an ordinary exercise as "Yi Jin Decision" to Su Shi, and he is dissatisfied. I don't know if Xiao Su Shi will also be dissatisfied with you when he knows" Xue Ding said with a smile, he rarely saw Tong Bahui show such great dissatisfaction with Qin Shoucheng, at least not on the surface. And this time, it seems that he really loves Su Bai.
"There's no way to do that, after all, if you want to fight against the Tianji Battalion, you have to find his father's exercises back then, or the exercises that are not inferior to the "Breaking the War and Breaking the Army". Qin Shoucheng raised his forehead and sighed, "It's not for nothing to listen to the king-level exercises of the Haige people, but it's either not as good as the "Breaking the War and Breaking the Army", or it's not suitable for him." ”
"Oh, can't my 'Ten Thousand Sword Heart Determination'?" Xue Ding raised his eyebrows and said, looking like he was unwilling to compare the high and low. But Qin Shoucheng knew that when Xue Ding said this, he was not just arrogant, but he wanted to contribute the secret book of his cultivation and teach it to Su Bai.
"You are also willing, a young man who was obsessed with kendo begged you to teach this set of mental techniques created for kendo martial arts in the world, not only did you drive him away without even listening to a word, but also humiliated him with words, making him vomit blood with anger. Qin Shoucheng smiled bitterly, Xue Ding back then was not as gentle as jade now, only the Ten Annihilations themselves knew, Xue Ding, who seemed to be personable, was actually the strongest in the Ten Annihilations in terms of blood strength and martial arts realm.
"This son is not pure in nature, he is just coveting my sword duel, not an obsession with kendo, the pursuit of kendo and coveting the practice are two different concepts. And Xiao Su Shi's eyes are pure and kind-hearted, and I am very relieved to teach him "Ten Thousand Sword Heart Decisions". Xue Ding pouted.
"It's just that this set of exercises pursues the realm of selflessness, and what we need is ambitious and domineering people to lead us to subvert the emperor. Qin Shoucheng said.
"But Su Shi's heart has no quarrel with the world, even if sometimes he is vicious and hateful, it is only due to experience, and his heart is afraid that the world will take away the people around him. ”
"Alas, this is my biggest headache" Qin Shoucheng sighed, raised the teacup in his hand, and found that he didn't know when a cup of tea had been drunk, and the moon had already gone up, and he had been staring at Poinsettia for half the night, "Maybe more experiences can change him, first of all, let him know that in this innocence city, his kindness may become a weakness of his own." A weakness that will kill you. ”
"Xiao Su Shi and they are out, don't you have to follow them to take a look?" Xue Ding glanced at the figure that flashed out of the dark backyard of Poinsettia, and asked Qin Shoucheng.
"We can't always carry everything, what we have cultivated is just a superficial child. Having said that, why hasn't there been any news from the person sent by Hongpin to answer yet?" Qin Shoucheng asked.
Xue Ding hiccuped, tried to recall, and said vaguely: "Xiaohong seems to have said that it is a little girl who has just joined Hongyan to answer us, and she will set up the most conspicuous signboard in the city of innocence. ”
Qin Shoucheng glanced at the bright red lanterns in the night sky of the poinsettia opposite again, as well as the signboard shining under the lights, and the corner of his eyes jumped to think of something.
"I'm afraid I have to pour all this hangover tea for you, so that you can know who is more unreliable. ”
