Chapter 121: Calculating with each other

On the appointed day, Qi Jinzhi was dressed in a purple arrow-sleeved robe, with a four-finger-wide belt around his waist, and black leather boots on his feet, and he was full of heroism. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

He checked the saber he was carrying, took out a dagger the length of a palm from the Qi family's arsenal, tried the sharpness of the blade, raised his right leg with satisfaction, and put the dagger directly into the boot.

The dagger is not big, just well hidden.

Still uneasy, his gaze swept over the rows of wooden shelves in the arsenal, and finally landed on the various hidden weapons hanging on the walls.

Qi Jinzhi carefully looked at those hidden weapons, touched his chin and thought for a while, before striding forward and raising his hand to remove two egg-shaped black iron objects.

He put the two iron weapons in his hand and weighed them, "Well, the amount of gunpowder is very sufficient, although it is not as powerful as the porcelain thunder, but it is enough for sneak attacks and breaks." ”

Placing the two iron weapons in his sleeve pocket, he stepped around again to make sure that there were no other weapons he wanted, and then left the arsenal.

"Uncle, have you gone to the arsenal?"

Gu Jialuo glanced at the saber in Qi Jinzhi's hand, and the corner of his eye couldn't help but glance at his sleeves and boots, and he already had a guess in his heart.

"Hmm."

Qi Jinzhi's attitude was very cold, and it was obvious that he had not forgotten the quarrel with Gu Jialuo yesterday.

"Uncle has something important?" Actually cautious enough to go to the arsenal to pick up weapons?

For some reason, the heavily armed Qi Jinzhi gave her a very dangerous feeling. The hairs on the back of her neck stood up, and a pair of soft wattles quietly held them, instinctively making a defensive posture.

“…… Well! ”

Qi Jinzhi's pupils shrank imperceptibly, and then he made an impatient look, didn't even look at Gu Jialuo, and walked straight towards the atrium.

Gu Jialuo didn't ask any more questions, and didn't even pretend to send him out, but looked at his back in a daze.

Qi Jinzhi's heroic figure quickly disappeared in the Agarwood Courtyard, and when he walked down the stairs in front of the courtyard, he suddenly stopped.

Closing his eyes slightly, holding his breath and concentrating, Qi Jinzhi felt it quietly for a moment. Then he opened his eyes suddenly, and a cold light flashed under his eyes - it was really not his delusion, just now in the house, the Qi Gu clan actually had murderous intent against him!

Could it be that Qi Gu found something? Or is she already suspicious of him?!

Many pictures flashed in Qi Jinzhi's mind, and he suddenly discovered that after coming to Qi's house from 'him', 'he' had been making trouble with Qi Gu's family.

The two either quarreled or got angry, and for two or three months, 'he' didn't even touch the corner of Qi Gu's clothes, let alone be as sweet and affectionate as 'usual'!

The corners of Qi Jinzhi's lips drew a cold arc, "I really underestimated Qi Gu's family, this woman actually recognized my identity a long time ago." Hmph, it looks like I can't keep her anymore! ”

However, now is not the time to do it.

Qi Jinzhi shook the knife in his hand and strode out.

With two teams of guards, he stepped on his horse, and Qi Jin and his party walked out of the capital.

On the official road outside the city gate on the north side, Xiao Gang has been waiting for a long time.

Today, he is also dressed very neatly, completely devoid of the graceful style of the Wei and Jin celebrities in the past, with big red arrow sleeves, black leather boots, and a pair of crescent halberds hanging on horseback, but he is full of the style of a general.

"Big brother, you're here!"

Xiao Gang saw Qi Jinzhi galloping over, the excitement in his eyes flashed, and he knocked off the horse and greeted him.

Qi Jinzhi grabbed the reins, stopped at Xiao Gang's side steadily, looked him up and down, and said with a smile: "What a jade-faced young general." Okay, very good, this is the style that our men should have. ”

Two red clouds flew on Xiao Gang's fair face, and he said embarrassedly: "Let the eldest brother laugh, I, I don't have any grandeur, it's just pretending." ”

Qi Jinzhi heard that he was pitiful, hurriedly suppressed his smile, and persuaded: "Sizheng doesn't need to be sad. You are born in poor health and can't practice martial arts, but you don't have the momentum to fall into our generals. Now, with wisdom, the 'military' is carried forward, and it is by no means a useless 'model goods'. ”

"Big brother, do you really think I'm 'useful'?" Xiao Gang's peach blossom eyes were shining, with endless expectations.

Qi Jinzhi was severely amazed by Xiao Gang's sparkling eyes, coughed unnaturally twice, avoided his eyes, and nodded: "That, that's natural." ”

Then, as if he realized that he had lost his temper, he hurriedly changed the topic, pointed to the twenty sturdy men behind Xiao Gang, and asked, "Are these the brothers of the 'military'?" ”

Xiao Gang was secretly proud, but his face was still shy and shy, and he replied: "Big brother guessed right, they are all from our 'military' lineage, and they are all their own brothers." ”

Qi Jinzhi sat upright on the horse and hugged his fists at the more than ten strong men.

The strong men also hugged their fists in return.

Xiao Gang deliberately looked up at the sun, "Oh, it's not early, big brother, let's go get down to business first." Wang's shopkeeper's mine is waiting to start, and with the porcelain thunder supported by the eldest brother, Lao Wang's side can also produce as soon as possible. "Lao Wang has made money, so he can increase his investment in Happy Villa.

And regular customers like Qi Jinzhi can continue to enjoy the luxury of the villa.

Sure enough, as soon as he heard Xiao Gang's words, Qi Jinzhi's attention was instantly diverted, "Yes, yes, it's important to do the right thing." The old king of the dog day, because of a little gunpowder, was in a hurry to find death and life, it was really useless, and the most hateful thing was that he actually said that he had no heart to make wine. Straight mother, without the 'thousand-year-old drunk', I can't sleep well. ”

Xiao Gang hurriedly persuaded: "Big brother, don't worry, Lao Wang can't do anything." Gunpowder is an ordinary thing for you, big brother, but for an ordinary businessman like Lao Wang, it is a rare thing that cannot be sought. Alas, he invested most of his family business in that coal mine, if he can't start work normally, he will definitely be able to lose the bottom of the sky, everyone is going bankrupt, where is he still in the mood to make wine? ! Therefore, let's help him solve the trouble as soon as possible, and the eldest brother can also drink the 'Millennium Drunk' as soon as possible." In addition, Lao Wang didn't dare to lose his eldest brother, twelve porcelain thunder, the market price was 4,800 taels of silver, and Lao Wang didn't dare to ask me to bring it. ”

Xiao Gang took out a stack of silver tickets from the cuff, shook them a few times, and then stuffed them into Qi Jinzhi's arms.

"In addition, Lao Wang also specially prepared a generous gift for the eldest brother, and when this matter is done, the eldest brother will be able to see him when he goes to the villa."

Xiao Gang squeezed his eyes ambiguously at Qi Jinzhi, put one hand to his lips, and pretended to be mysterious: "Little brother reveals that Lao Wang is the most exquisite-hearted and wonderful person." What has Big Brother been thinking about the most recently? Hehe, Lao Wang will try his best to help you do it! ”

What does he want?

Naturally, he gained a firm foothold in the Qi family as soon as possible, and then took all the resources of Xiqi from Qi Lingxian step by step.

This plan is not something that can be accomplished overnight.

And what Qi Jinzhi wants most at the moment is enough money and the secrets of the 'military'.

Don't look at Qi Jinzhi tinkering with so many industries in the southwest, which is a salt field, a silver mine, and a gold mine. But he didn't have much cash in his hands.

The Qi family's silver money is controlled by the county lord of Qinghe, and the money bag of the Agarwood Courtyard is pinched in Gu Jialuo's hand.

"Idiot, he actually handed over all his ladders for many years to the Qi Gu clan, and he didn't even keep a little private house. Doesn't he have a social and expense on weekdays? To be a man and do it like this, it's really a failure! ”

Qi Jinzhi cursed the original owner more than once, but no matter how much he complained, the reality was still a lack of money!

Of course, Qi Jinzhi is not really unable to use any money, according to the old practice of the Qi family, adult young masters can go to the account office every month to withdraw up to five hundred taels of silver.

But Qi Jinzhi didn't dare to try it easily, he was afraid of attracting Qi Lingxian's attention.

After all, the real Qi Jinzhi has never gone to the external account room to pay the silver, and if he makes a rash move, it will definitely make people suspicious.

This time, Qi Jinzhi sold the porcelain thunder to Xiao Gang, and the temptation/temptation of silver money accounted for a considerable proportion.

Five thousand taels of silver, Qi Jinzhi can do a lot of things.

In addition to the money, what Qi Jinzhi wants to know most is the details of the 'military'.

First, he needs to explain to Qi Lingxian, and strive to 'make meritorious contributions' in front of Qi Lingxian.

Second, he is short of manpower, and if he can take the 'military' for his own use, he will be able to complete the plan faster and more smoothly.

…… Otherwise, Qi Jinzhi doesn't have anything he wants for the time being.

Xiao Gang squeezed his eyebrows and reminded: "Big brother, we know that you are worried about your heirs, so Lao Wang specially looked for two beauties who are easy to raise." When things are over here, the eldest brother will go to the villa to take a look. Hehe, they are all good sons with innocent family backgrounds, and they will never insult the eldest brother. ”

Qi Jinzhi's forehead twitched, when did he want a son?

He already has a son himself, okay?!

The last time I beat Qi Yanzhi in the restaurant and deliberately made a lost appearance, I was just acting, just to gain Xiao Gang's trust as soon as possible.

Moreover, Qi Jinzhi also found that Xiao Gang was trying to find a way to separate the relationship between him and Qi Gu's family. Qi Jinzhi thought about it carefully and felt that it was very reasonable to use the excuse of 'Gu's childlessness' to quarrel with Qi Gu's family, and even turn against each other.

Even if Xiao Gang is cunning like a fox, he shouldn't be able to find a flaw.

So, Qi Jinzhi acted in such a play. Who would have thought that Xiao Gang would take it seriously, and he would use this thing as bait to lure him to continue to indulge in Happy Villa!

Qi Jinzhi couldn't cry or laugh, and at the same time he was a little proud, it seemed that his plan had succeeded. Even if Xiao Gang didn't believe him, at least he no longer doubted it.

"Is there such a thing? Haha, Wang Dongcheng is a killer, he won't be a worm in Lao Tzu's stomach, right, he actually guessed Lao Tzu's mind so thoroughly? ”

Qi Jinzhi pretended to laugh a few times in surprise, and chatted with Xiao Gang while holding the reins.

"Lao Wang really respects his brother, so he will consider everything for you."

Xiao Gang smiled and said good things to Wang Dongcheng. On the surface, he was chatting with his good brother wholeheartedly, but secretly he was closely observing his surroundings and remembering all the roads he had traveled in his mind.

The group rode for more than an hour, facing a barren hillside.

Qi Jinzhi led everyone into a small road. The path was narrow enough for only one horse, and was lined with rocks or dead wood on both sides, and was very dilapidated all around.

Passing through the rugged path, Qi Jinzhi led everyone around a ruin, and what caught everyone's eyes was a small bulging earthen bag.

Not far away, several crows had fallen on the dead wood, and from time to time they made strange 'quacks'.

The sun was still bright and was obscured by dark clouds at some point, the sky suddenly darkened, repeated mountain winds blew, leaves, pieces of paper, and debris swirled in mid-air, making people feel bleak and desolate for no reason.

"Big, big brother, this, this is the cemetery?" Xiao Gang's face turned pale, and he asked in a trembling voice.

"That's right, this was originally the ancestral tomb of a big family in the previous dynasty, but most of the people died in the war, and no one worshiped or cared for it for decades, and the cemetery was abandoned,"

Qi Jinzhi was not afraid at all, turned over and dismounted, took the reins in one hand, and walked towards the cemetery, "Now, this place has become a mass grave, and I don't know how many helpless poor people have been abandoned here. ”

Qi Jinyi said as he reminded Xiao Gang, "Sizheng, watch your step, don't disturb the deceased." ”

"What? Shocking, disturbing the dead? Xiao Gang got off the horse tremblingly, followed Qi Jinzhi closely, and when he heard this, he was so frightened that he almost jumped up. It's as if he's stepping on some stump under his feet!

"Sizheng, aren't you afraid?"

Qi Jinzhi heard that something was wrong, and hurriedly glanced back. Seeing Xiao Gang's appearance of seeing a ghost, he couldn't help but say worriedly: "Otherwise, you just wait outside, I'll take a few people in to pick up the goods." ”

"In, in? Big brother, you mean, what's in the mass grave? ”

Xiao Gang's eyes widened, and his fingers trembled and pointed to the gloomy graveyard in front of him.

In his heart, he couldn't help but admire, the Qi family really had a clever mind, and actually came up with the idea of building a workshop in a mass grave.

But think about it, the capital is the place that Xiao Ye values the most at the feet of the Son of Heaven. If the Qi family wants to avoid the eyes and ears of the Jinyi Guard, they must win by surprise.

"Hmm. It's inside. ”

Qi Jinzhi said vaguely, and tried his best to persuade Xiao Gang, "Sizheng, I see that your face is very bad, so don't go in." It's heavy inside, just in case—"

"No, big brother, I—I'm going to follow you."

Xiao Gang grabbed Qi Jinzhi's hand and said seriously, "And I believe that with my eldest brother by my side, I will be fine." Right, big brother? ”

As he spoke, Xiao Gang quietly scratched Qi Jinzhi's palm.

Qi Jinzhi's eyes darkened, he didn't say anything, and clasped Xiao Gang's hand with his backhand, "That's right, I will take good care of you." Let's go, I'll let you see our Qi family's workshop. Hehe, Sizheng, I didn't expect it, our Qi's firearms workshop was built on the outskirts of the city. There are many people out there who want to know the address of the workshop, but they try their best to find nothing. Sizheng, you are my best brother, and you are also a child of the military, I will not hide it from anyone......"

Xiao Gang's face was full of emotion, and he directly hugged Qi Jinzhi's arm, like a delicate cat, and whispered: "I knew that the eldest brother was really good to me." ”

His face gently rubbed Qi Jinzhi's arm, but his eyes looked behind him, giving his subordinates a look: The workshop has been found, and he will act according to the plan later!
