Chapter 51: Ten Years of Unrequited Love
Qin Xingyi didn't expect Senior Brother to promise to help him save people, and suddenly his eyes flashed with expectation, and a shallow smile rippled on his cheeks to the tip of his eyebrows, and asked, "Senior Brother, what should we do?" ”
Zeng Hao just impulsively agreed to the little junior sister, but he didn't have time to think about it, and at this moment, seeing the little junior sister's extremely expectant expression, he seemed to pin his hopes on himself, and he couldn't be untrustworthy, and said:
"Senior sister, this matter is extraordinary! Prime Minister Hu Cheng is a leading figure in the Western Qin State, and the Prime Minister's Mansion is huge! If our Xifeng Building openly challenges the Prime Minister's Mansion, we will definitely lose our troops and suffer a big loss. ”
"But, big brother, ......"
"Senior sister, don't worry, let me sort things out."
Zeng Hao twisted his eyebrows and pondered for a moment, and said, "Senior sister, we can't make trouble openly, we can compete in secret." According to Hu Feng just now, today is Prime Minister Hu Cheng's birthday, and the Proton Hall will send Xuanyuan Mingyu as a gift. Senior sister, why don't we do this, show a clever plan, put on makeup and disguise as Master Pei and his wife, go to send congratulatory gifts, sneak into the Prime Minister's Mansion, and look for an opportunity to save people. ”
"Okay, this method is good, don't conflict with them, and save Mingyu without knowing it." Qin Xingyi clapped her hands and applauded.
"But, junior sister, there's another problem! Because we can't use the money in Xifeng Mansion casually, our own money bags are empty, and we have no money to buy congratulatory gifts. ”
As the saying goes: a penny can stump a hero! Zeng Hao felt that no matter how good the idea was, it would be useless, and it would be difficult to implement it according to the plan without money.
Qin Xingyi was very smart, her eyes rolled around, and she asked with a smile: "Senior brother, what do you need to give as a gift?" ”
"It shouldn't matter! Pei Dashao and his wife are not top figures, just send some things that can be handed. ”
"Senior brother, I have a way."
"Tell me, what's it?" Zeng Hao urged, the little junior sister of Zhilu Dao is extremely smart, and she can always think of a good way out when she is in doubt.
Qin Xingyi remembered that there was a hundred-year-old sandalwood tree in the backyard of Xifeng Building, which was uprooted and fell in the yard when the wind blew a few days ago, and later the kitchen used the tree body as a fire to chop firewood, leaving only a large tree root in the corner of the backyard.
When it comes to the big tree root, the shape is quite strange, and the intertwined appearance is like a giant dragon with teeth and claws, which is unique, which makes Qin Xingyi look at it with admiration when he passes by, causing him to think, it would be good if it was made into a dragon head chair.
Qin Xingyi once ran to the kitchen and told the chef not to cut the roots of the tree into chopping wood and burn them, I remember that the cook said with a smile:
"Isn't the eldest lady going to make that big tree root into a root carving? The chef can help you burn a plate of piping hot red pepper oil, and when you apply it, it will be a perfect work of art, and if you take it out and sell it, it should be very valuable. ”
Qin Xingyi smiled after hearing this, she didn't take this matter to heart, and then she forgot about it when she was busy. Today, when I heard the senior brother talk about having no money to buy a congratulatory gift, Qin Xingyi remembered that the sandalwood dragon head root carving was very valuable, and if it was sent as a congratulatory gift, it should not be a problem.
Qin Xingyi told Zeng Hao about this idea, and Zeng Hao heard it and thought it made sense, so he immediately called the two juniors and ordered them to go to the kitchen and order the cook to immediately burn the red pepper oil, and smear the red pepper oil on the roots of the big tree, and perfect the semi-finished product into a good handicraft.
After Zeng Hao finished assigning the work, he saw Qin Xingyi thoughtfully, and asked, "Senior sister, what else are you worried about?" This sandalwood dragon head root carving is worth a lot of money, it is a very grand gift, after we give the gift, the people of the Prime Minister's Mansion will definitely treat us to dinner, so that there will be a chance to save people. ”
Qin Xingyi is not worried about the issue of congratulatory gifts at the moment, but is worried that she and her senior brother will make up and disguise themselves as Pei Dashao and his wife, in case Pei Dashao himself goes to celebrate his birthday in person, won't he be a goof?
Qin Xingyi frowned slightly, and told the senior brother what she suspected.
Zeng Hao laughed when he heard this, comforting the little sister to be worried. Because I went to Pei Dashao's Mansion yesterday, I happened to see Pei Dashao receive an invitation from Prime Minister Hu Cheng's mansion, and Pei Dashao had other urgent matters to do, and regretted that he could not attend Prime Minister Hu's birthday banquet.
"Senior sister, we need three chapters of the law so that I can save people with peace of mind."
"Senior brother, what are the three chapters of the covenant, can you say it quickly?" Qin Xingyi saw that the problems were solved one by one, and the senior brother came up with a new trick and asked anxiously.
Zeng Hao said seriously: "Senior sister, today I promised to go with you to save people, morally speaking, it is okay, but, from the rules of the West Wind Building, the two of us have violated the rules of the building and will be punished." Especially me, knowing the law and breaking the law, not only will I not stop you, but I will give you advice, if the master knows the way, he will definitely lock me up, maybe for a year and a half. ”
"Senior brother, how can it be so serious? Besides, Master is in retreat, and when Master leaves the customs, he doesn't know what will happen in the Year of the Monkey, and when this matter has passed for a long time, no one will mention it again, right? ”
"Senior sister, you can't help but underestimate Master! Although Master is in retreat, I think he knows everything we do, and we can't hide it in the future, so we still recruit people honestly and obey the punishment. ”
Qin Xingyi knew that Master Lu Dao's skills were very high, and he might be able to detect the big and small things that happened in the West Wind Tower during the retreat, but it was urgent to save 100,000 people, even if the master wanted to punish him in the future, it would be a matter for the future, and the future would be talked about later.
"Senior brother, what are the three chapters of your covenant? As long as I don't hurt Xuanyuan Mingyu, I will agree. Qin Xingyi said helplessly.
"Senior sister, the first article of the third chapter of the covenant, when we get to the Prime Minister's Mansion later, you have to listen to my orders. My arrangement is: the two of us divide the labor and work together, you are responsible for finding out the whereabouts of that little proton, and then rescue him, and I am responsible for covering you. If I fall behind when I take cover, you leave me alone, no matter how dangerous my situation will be, you can agree to escape with the rescued people first? ”
"Senior brother, you ......"
Qin Xingyi is a sensual person, after listening to the first thing Zeng Hao said, she was moved for a moment, and said in a choked voice: "Senior brother, how can I see that you are the most dangerous and escaped?" Let's go together, and we should come back together. ”
"Senior sister, don't you want to rescue that person at all costs?" Zeng Hao was a little sad, thinking that the little junior sister only had the young man surnamed Xuanyuan in her heart, and she didn't occupy any place in the little junior sister's heart.
"Yes, senior brother, I want to save Mingyu, but I don't want anything to happen to you, both of you have to take care of it." Qin Xingyi's wish was very simple, and she said a little sadly.
Zeng Hao didn't want to see Qin Xingyi sad, so he comforted: "Senior sister, the first one is just my precautionary measure, maybe everything is going well for us, finding people and saving people is like cutting through the mess with a quick knife." ”
"Well, senior brother, what about the second one?"
"Second, if the rescue is successful, you have to follow me back to the West Wind Tower, this is your home, you can't leave us." Zeng Hao revealed a little sincerity, hoping that Qin Xingyi would agree.
"This ......" Qin Xingyi hesitated, and said hesitantly: "Senior brother, Mingyu is a person from the Xuanyuan Dynasty, if he needs me to escort him back to China, then how can I bear to refuse him?" Help people to the end, send people home. ”
"Senior sister, you want to send him back to China, and then what?"
"No more...... He didn't promise to marry me last night, I just shaved my head and picked my hair hot. ”
Qin Xingyi said, feeling very sad, the person she loves doesn't like her, and she will eventually part ways in the future, right? Unrequited love is the most painful, can you bear it in the future? Qin Xingyi doesn't know the way, and she doesn't want to know the way, probably love love is different from other things, it's not something that you can do by yourself, right?
Qin Xingyi looked at the sky with painful eyes, the sun in the early morning was red, there were a few white clouds floating in the clear blue sky, everything seemed so beautiful, but the person he and the senior brother had discussed for a long time to save didn't love him! What a sad thing to do!
"Senior sister, the little proton surnamed Xuanyuan is too arrogant, what qualifications does he have not to agree?"
Zeng Hao saw the painful appearance of the little junior sister, and was filled with righteous indignation, wouldn't it be more beneficial to himself to forget this result? He was bent on fighting for his little junior sister, and he wanted to grab Xuanyuan Mingyu and beat him up, to see if he agreed?
"Senior brother, don't blame him, maybe he is not in the mood to talk about marriage in such a desolate and miserable situation, right? I'm going to save him, and then, I'll wait for him, ten years! ”
"Senior sister, if this kid surnamed Xuanyuan just refuses to marry you, your ten years of youth will be spent on him? It's not worth it, this kind of ungrateful guy deserves it? ”
"Senior brother, don't talk about him like that. I think he must have a hard time, I can see that he is lonely and lonely, he has unspeakable things to suppress, and I am willing to spend ten years with him. If he really wants to marry someone else, then I ......"
"If he marries someone else, I'll help you kill both of them!" Zeng Hao followed Qin Xingyi's words, without any pity, thinking that he would not show mercy to those who deceived and hurt the feelings of the little junior sister.
"Senior brother, don't do that, right? Why bother? If that happens, I'm ...... I'll leave him quietly and find a place where no one is populated......"
Qin Xingyi couldn't grasp whether this would happen in the future, and said bitterly, a tear slowly rolling down Qingli's cheeks.
Zeng Hao saw that the little junior sister's first love was so entangled, and he really wanted to take the little junior sister out of the sea of suffering, but he was a dignified person, since the matter had come to this point, he suppressed the words in his heart and refused to confess to the little junior sister.
"Senior brother, what's the third one?"
"The third thing, I speculate that there is the worst possibility, in the Prime Minister's Mansion, we can't save the little proton by mistake, and seeing that the little proton being killed in front of our eyes, I want to ask you to promise me, don't despair, obediently follow me back to the West Wind Tower."
"You have a hunch that he ...... Will it die? Qin Xingyi asked sadly, and another crystal teardrop crossed her cheeks.
