Looking at the layout of the hall in front of them, listening to these kind and easy-going words, everyone almost didn't know where they were, as if they were in the hospitality of the poor people in the countryside, and they were facing a well-educated man with a pure heart. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ|||Small|said||Du Qi and Lu Miao'er couldn't help but be surprised, they both saw a lot of doubts in each other's eyes, if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, no one would have believed that this was the hall of the greedy Yan Hao family.

Huang Yinhua seemed to say with some reverence: "It is indeed a rare good word and good painting!" ”

Yan Hao laughed and said: "In this case, everyone please sit down, you can have fun while drinking tea, I will go to talk about something with Du Gongzi and I will go back immediately, and I hope you don't blame the old man for being lazy." ”

Maybe it was because they were mentally prepared, maybe they could finally sit down and rest after walking for a long time, and when the women heard that Yan Hao wanted to take Du Qi aside alone and leave them alone, there was no longer the disgust in their hearts just now, and even Lu Miao'er, who had strongly opposed it, accepted this fact peacefully.

Du Qi was a guest and a host, and calmly followed behind Yan Hao and entered the study on the left side of the hall. The study room is large and bright, with a large collection of books, and its layout is extremely simple, without any appearance of luxury, and there is no official atmosphere.

After Du Qi entered the study, Yan Hao turned around and closed the door with his own hands, but he did not beckon Du Qi to sit down, obviously this was not the place to talk.

Sure enough, Yan Hao paced to a row of bookshelves at the back of the inside, groped to open a secret door, and invited Du Qi to say: "Du Gongzi, please come with me, let's talk inside, be quiet!" ”

Du Qi smiled slightly, and without hesitation, followed Yan Hao into the secret door.

Behind the door is a row of stairs that go straight down, the stairs are connected to the spacious tunnel, at the end of the tunnel is a large basement, the layout in the secret room is still very simple, but it is extremely luxurious, the chairs and small tables are all chiseled by the whole piece of high-quality warm jade, the huge room seems to be very rhythmic, and it seems to be disorderly with some rare antiques, the wall is no longer Yan Hao's own calligraphy and painting, but dozens of real famous handwriting that is difficult to find. As in the tunnel, the indoor lighting is also full of night pearls, and the night pearl on the candlestick on the table against the wall is as big as a goose egg, which is rare in the world.

The two sat down, Yan Hao looked at Du Qi and said with a smile: "Gongzi is very human, and he can sit as usual until this moment, which is indeed unusual!" ”

Du Qi smiled faintly: "I don't know what my husband called me to do, even if I want to ask, I can't ask, so I have to wait for my husband to say it himself." ”

Yan Hao smiled: "Okay, what a 'old man' title!" Does Du Gongzi know the purpose of the old man inviting you to come? ”

Du Qi said secretly: "Didn't I just say that I don't know? Isn't it redundant to ask such questions? But he said, "I'm about to ask my husband for advice!" ”

Yan Hao didn't know what Du Qi was thinking, and said solemnly: "The old man invited Du Gongzi to come, just to ask Du Gongzi for one thing, and I hope that Du Gongzi will tell the truth." ”

Du Qi sighed secretly, and had to say again: "Please teach my father-in-law!" ”

Yan Hao said: "May I ask whether Du Gongzi is going to Beijing this time to do business or is he going to live for a long time?" ”

Du Qi didn't expect Yan Hao to take such a big effort to bring him to the secret room just to ask such a question, and couldn't help laughing: "My uncle really just wants to ask such a question?" ”

Yan Hao said as a matter of course: "Of course it's more than that, if Du Gongzi is only going to Beijing to do business this time, then, when is Du Gongzi going to leave Beijing?" ”

Hearing Yan Hao's affirmative reply, "Of course it's not more", Du Qi couldn't help but show that he really had other questions to ask, but when he heard the most, Du Qi realized that he was thinking too much, strictly speaking, this question can't be regarded as a problem at all, but Yan Hao, who has always been meticulous, actually raised it separately and cautiously, could it be that Yan Hao actually wanted to find out his accurate whereabouts and then calmly arrange them to put them to death? But if you think about it, this is impossible, so why did Yan Hao do this?

Just when Du Qi was puzzled, he suddenly heard Yan Hao say again: "Don't be surprised Du Gongzi, this matter may be just a trivial matter for you, but it is extremely important to me, so be sure to ask Du Gongzi to tell the truth." ”

Du Qi was about to reply, but Yan Hao continued: "Of course, the old man will never let Du Gongzi answer this question in vain, as long as Du Gongzi tells the truth, the old man will be rewarded." ”

Du Qi said: "My husband is so anxious, aren't you afraid that I will use this to threaten you?" As soon as the words came out, Du Qi suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and immediately hurriedly collected his mind and carefully inspected it with his mind, and unexpectedly found that there was someone hidden behind the wall on his side, and it was a top master who could be said to be meritorious, obviously there was another secret room behind the wall, and the master in the room was undoubtedly secretly guarding Yan Hao, no wonder such a pampered and suspicious traitor like Yan Hao dared to be alone in a room with him.

Yan Hao didn't know that Du Qi had broken through the mechanism behind the wall, and he was obviously stunned when he heard this, but he suddenly smiled and said: "Du Gongzi is not such a person, this point, the old man will never be mistaken, ha!" ”

Du Qi said indifferently: "If I refuse to answer, is my husband ready to keep me here for a long time?" ”

Yan Hao looked behind Du Qi unexpectedly, and hurriedly explained: "Du Gongzi, please don't misunderstand, I brought Du Gongzi here to talk just to avoid people's eyes, and I have no other intention. ”

Du Qi sighed: "It's not a secret, I just went to Beijing this time to do something, and I should leave as soon as I get done." ”

Yan Hao's eyes lit up, and he seemed to be a little unconvinced: "Really? ”

Du Qi smiled bitterly: "Of course! For such a trivial matter, my husband doesn't have to go to such a big deal at all, as long as he sends someone to ask, I will tell the truth. ”

Yan Hao stroked his palms and smiled: "Du Gongzi is really refreshing!" The old man suddenly remembered something, maybe there is a need to talk about it, I wonder if Du Gongzi is interested? ”

Du Qi said lightly as if he didn't care: "What is the old man going to tell me?" ”

Yan Hao smiled lightly, and changed the topic again: "Du Gongzi, do you know where we are above our heads?" As if knowing that Du Qi couldn't answer at all, Yan Hao continued to take care of himself: "We are in the main hall of the Humble House, and Xiao'er East Building will deal with a small matter there later, so I have to receive Du Gongzi in the second hall, and I hope that Du Gongzi will forgive me if I am not thoughtful, I wonder if Du Gongzi is interested in listening to their conversation?" ”

Du Qi knew that what Yan Hao said must be Lu Bing who came to negotiate the rescue of Yu Dayou, although he wanted to hear the progress of the matter with his own ears, but in order to avoid unnecessary incidents, Du Qi had to hold back what he thought in his heart and asked, "Does my uncle think this is necessary?" ”

Yan Hao laughed, as if unintentionally moved the candlestick on the table next to him where the huge night pearl was placed, and suddenly, wisps of sound rushed in, and it was extremely clear in the quiet basement. Obviously, this secret room was built to monitor the situation in the main hall above, and Du Qi didn't know why Yan Hao would expose such a secret in front of him, let alone Yan Hao's real intentions.

As if knowing what Du Qi was thinking, Yan Hao chuckled: "Du Gongzi can listen carefully, so that he may be able to have a new understanding of the old decay, in fact, the old decay is not as unbearable as the world says." ”

Seeing that Yan Hao seemed to want to show something in front of him, Du Qi became more and more suspicious in his heart, and couldn't help but ask softly, "What is my uncle going to express to me?" ”

Yan Hao laughed and said, "Du Gongzi is good to say, this is exactly what we want to talk about today!" Oh, by the way, Du Gongzi just said it bluntly, even if he screamed loudly, he couldn't hear the slightest sound here. ”

Du Qi said: "In that case, please speak, old man." ”

Yan Hao suddenly looked a little mysterious and said: "Du Gongzi can know why the old man can be in charge of the government alone?" ”

Du Qi didn't expect Yan Hao to ask him this question, and he was a little at a loss for a while, and said against his will in a daze: "God has no virtue, and a virtuous person like Lao Zhang will naturally come out to ask for his life for the people." ”

Yan Hao sighed: "Du Gongzi is bad, the old decay can have today, I am lazy to have someone to help at the beginning, alas! Although this matter has been a long time ago, but I dare not forget, and I have to keep it in my heart from time to time, a few days ago, the old man suddenly saw a thing, saw a person's expression, the old man suddenly woke up, this matter is not the end of the old man said it can be over. ”

Du Qi said: "Could it be that the person who helped the old man came to ask for a return?" ”

Yan Hao smiled bitterly: "It can also be said that people and things are different, they are not just here to ask for returns." ”

Duch was puzzled and said, "Oh? Does my husband think I can settle this matter? ”

Yan Hao shook his head as if he was a little bitter, and pointed above speechlessly, Du Qi listened attentively, only to hear a sound of footsteps, and it became louder and louder, obviously someone was walking towards the main hall on the secret room.

Yan Hao said lightly: "This is Xiao'er East Building!" ”

Hearing this, Du Qi's mind unexpectedly floated a man who was about forty-one and twelve, dressed as an ordinary scribe, with a bloated face, a short and fat neck, a glittering eye, a dull eye, and an arrogant man, recalling the appearance of him walking in Wenxuan Building that day, Du Qi couldn't help but feel a little gimmicky, and was enjoying himself, only to hear Yan Hao ask: "Does Du Gongzi know who helped the old and decayed in the first place?" ”

If it weren't for Du Qi knowing that Yan Hao was a person from the Heaven and Earth Sect, he might have been a little surprised when he suddenly heard Yan Hao's words, but at this time, Du Qi didn't have any surprise at all, what he didn't understand was why he wanted to reveal to him that he was a person from the Heaven and Earth Sect with Yan Hao's status? And it seems that he still can't wait, in order not to embarrass Yan Hao and turn into elbows and armpits, so that Lu Miaoer and other girls will be in trouble with him, Du Qi had to pretend that he didn't know anything, and said according to Yan Hao's words: "Please advise!" ”

Looking at Du Qi, Yan Hao was still smiling, and said, "Does Du Gongzi feel a little strange?" ”

Caught off guard, Du Qi couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and said, "What does the old man mean by this?" ”

Yan Hao smiled: "Is Du Gongzi wondering why the old man is mentioning the past and those people at this moment? ”

Hearing this, Du Qi couldn't help but be secretly frightened, his mind was actually broken by Yan Hao's words, and he couldn't help but quickly rein in his mind at the moment, and couldn't help but feel even more shocked after secretly inspecting it, his mind was not detected by Yan Hao with ideas and other methods, but inferred from reason, and it is not difficult to see that this Yan Hao is indeed not easy to match, and he must not be careless in front of him, otherwise, if he is not careful, he will fall into his cunning, and he may not even know how to die at that time.

Staring at Du Qi, Yan Hao smiled again: "The old man sincerely invited Du Gongzi to come here, and there is no malice, so there is no need for Du Gongzi to be wary of the old man in secret." ”

Although Yan Hao's voice was a little ugly, his tone since he talked to Du Qi was extremely soft and gentle, but this sentence sounded in Du Qi's ears was no different from the Nine Heavens Thunder, he didn't feel that Yan Hao had any signs of using his true yuan, but as soon as his mind moved, Yan Hao noticed it, and Du Qi suddenly felt a chill from the bottom of his heart, as if he was being seen by Yan Hao and had nothing to hide.

Yan Hao didn't seem to want to stop there, and then said with a smile: "Hehe, it is not difficult to see from Du Gongzi's performance just now that Du Gongzi should have known who was helping the old man that day, right?" ”

At this point, Du Qi really had a feeling of collapse, when he first saw Yan Hao, Du Qi felt that Yan Hao still had some charitable elder appearance, plus Yan Hao didn't seem to have a little guard against himself, so he naturally relaxed his vigilance in his heart, thinking that Yan Hao didn't know that he knew his details, and when the time came, he could bargain with Yan Hao even if he didn't speculate, so he was very sure to respond to Yan Hao's invitation, but at this time, it seemed that all the things he knew couldn't be hidden from Yan Hao, the old thief. All the battles were completely shattered and dissipated like a bubble at that moment, and before he could really fight Yan Hao, he was already at an absolute disadvantage, and Du Qi's heart suddenly felt like falling into an ice cave.

In the flash of thought, Du Qi suddenly turned his heart sideways, decided not to look forward and cower, let go of everything in his heart and confront Yan Hao, the big deal is death, so he confessed: "Not bad! ”

Yan Hao laughed and said: "Du Gongzi is really smart, and he can speak frankly and bluntly with a little bit, ha!" It's good to talk to smart people, and I like it with a lot less talking! ”

Hearing Yan Hao's words, Du Qi couldn't help but secretly rejoice, fortunately, there was nothing false in answering Yan Hao's question at first, otherwise, with Yan Hao's heart, once he saw through it, the fruit would be unpredictable, but at this time, Du Qi couldn't care about thinking about what had passed, and could only deal with the situation in front of him with all his might.

After making up his mind and putting aside all the worries in his heart, Du Qi suddenly felt much more relaxed, and his thoughts were clearer, he decided not to wait, but to take the initiative to relieve the doubts in his heart, so he asked: "The old man is a person in the Heaven and Earth Sect, and he has great power, why is he still willing to live in this position for twenty years?" ”

Yan Hao praised: "That's right! Didn't Du Gongzi think that our conversation like this should be much easier than just now? Ha! Before the laughter fell, Yan Hao retracted his smile and said: "Actually, the old man is not a person in the Heaven and Earth Sect, so he has today's worries. ”

Du Qi knew that Yan Hao didn't need to deceive him on this matter, so he couldn't help but be surprised: "Oh? Since the old man is not a member of the Heaven and Earth Sect, why does the Heaven and Earth Sect try its best to help the old man? ”

Yan Hao sighed: "Of course they have a plan, alas! If you look into it carefully, it's not a traitor who harms people! ”
