145. Business
When Yuan Fengqing was thinking about it, he saw Feng Jiu step forward and knock on the door, and the sound of banging was extremely dull, just like the feeling of this house, drooping and lifeless. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Soon there was the sound of hurried footsteps inside, and a servant opened the door, and looked the two of them up and down with his eyes that had not yet opened for a long time before asking suspiciously, "May I ask who you are looking for?" ā
"I'll look for Gu Lao, you go and report it, and say that you will come to see you every nine."
That person obviously didn't know Feng Jiu, but since he was here to find the old lady, he didn't dare to slack off, so let them wait a while and go in to report.
Yuan Fengqing looked around, this house was very ordinary, there was nothing special, and there was no fluctuation of aura within a radius of a hundred miles, so it could be seen that it was just an ordinary house, what did Feng Jiu bring her here for?
Although they were puzzled in their hearts, they didn't show it, because they soon heard the footsteps of the servant returning, but they were not too polite and said, "Our old lady said, let you wait for a while, and come out when he is ready, please come in." ā
Feng Jiu narrowed his eyes, but he didn't say much, and the two followed the servant through the small courtyard that was not very spacious and walked towards the living room opposite.
Along the way, Yuan Fengqing found that the front yard of this house was not big, but there were very beautiful sunflowers planted on both sides, and the red and bright flowers reflected both sides of the bluestone road in red, like clouds on the horizon, which added some youthful atmosphere to this ancient house.
After entering the living room, the servant of the family came up with two cups of tea and said goodbye and left, let the two sit alone for a long time, still did not see the old lady Gu come out, seeing the sun rising higher and higher, the outside of the house was warm, but the whole house was still deserted, without the slightest noisy atmosphere, because of the small number of people in the hall, the warm breath was more and more not felt, Feng Jiu finally couldn't help it, and shouted, "Come on!" ā
Yuan Fengqing was originally thinking about how he would test himself today, but he was suddenly frightened by his loud voice, and looked at him with a pale face.
Just as Jiu was about to flare up in anger, he heard several heavy coughing sounds coming from the corridor outside the door, the sound of slight footsteps and the sound of crutches on the ground from far and near, and an old man in a gray robe with white hair appeared at the door of the hall with the support of two domestic servants.
The old man kept his head down, so that Yuan Fengqing couldn't see his face clearly, and he could only vaguely see that he was skinny, and his eyebrows and beard were all snow-white, which showed that he was already very old.
Feng Jiu's anger sank slightly, and he took two steps forward to help him, and waited for the old man to sit on the Taishi chair at the top before he asked with a smile, "Old Gu, I haven't seen you for a few days, why has my condition worsened again?" ā
After the old man sat down, Yuan Fengqing could see his face clearly, but he was a little frightened. I saw that this old man was skinny, and there was not even a bit of flesh on his face, which was very terrifying. A pair of old eyes are deeply sunken, but the dim eyes are still shining with a sharp light, which shows that he was once a powerful character. I can't help but sigh that the years have passed, life is short, no matter how beautiful and infinite the scenery has been, it can only turn into a pile of dry bones in the end!
Yuan Fengqing was full of emotion here, and the old man coughed a few times before answering, "Feng Jiu, don't you know the reason why the old man's condition has worsened?" Why are you still saying these cool things here? ā
When Feng Jiuyi heard this, the smile on his face stiffened slightly, but he still laughed dryly, turned around and sat back in place and said, "You and I don't want that thing, who knows where that kid came from?" Fortunately, His Holiness was so powerful that he could detect outsiders entering in the backyard, and let him disappear in front of everyone, and we could no longer make waves, and our business could continue. ā
The old man kept his head down, looking really sick, but when he heard the words, he raised his head slightly, and a cold smile appeared on his yellow face and said, "It's easy for you to say, do you know who that kid is?" He is from Tianxiang Valley, one of the three sects of the Immortal Sect, if he has already reported the events of that day to the Shimen, we will all be dead! ā
"Wealth is in danger, how can you get a good reward if you don't go to extremes?" Feng Jiu didn't seem to care about his attitude, but still said, "Old Gu, don't forget, how did you accept the Venerable in the first place?" If you can't, don't think that His Holiness will help you make your wish come true! ā
Threatened by Feng Jiu, the old man's eyes flashed violently, but he quickly disappeared, as if the light of Fang Cai was just someone else's eyes, he supported the cane with both hands, closed his eyes and thought for a long time before asking, "Okay, as long as you can guarantee that Tianxiang Gu will not find the old man because of what happened last time, and promise the Venerable what happened, the old man will guarantee that no one will be missed!" ā
"In a word, I came today to ask if you still have any stock in your hand, His Holiness is in a hurry, and there is not much time left, you have to hurry."
Seeing that the old man and Feng Jiu were talking about business with every word, it didn't look like they were doing any illegal business at all, although Yuan Fengqing had doubts in his heart, he didn't show it on his face, just looked at the old man in front of him who was thin and looked like he didn't have much time, and thought that if Dark Night really agreed to him a wish, it should be to extend his life! But Dark Night has never been a person who suffers, since he has agreed to his wish, he will definitely ask him for extremely harsh conditions, maybe it is the business that Feng Jiu talked to him for a long time, so what will the business be?
But no matter what, she has secretly made up her mind that no matter what she sees or hears today, she is only here to play the role of a doctor, as long as she does not show any flaws, the dark night should not attack her so quickly.
When she had just finished thinking about it, she heard Feng Jiu say, "Since there is still stock and what are you waiting for, I will go to inspect the goods and take them away first." After he finished speaking, he got up to help the old man, his expression was a little anxious, Yuan Fengqing had to get up with him, watching him drag Gu Lao Chao out of the hall, the old man kept coughing because he couldn't keep up with his steps, he looked very pitiful, and he had some sympathy in his heart.
The two servants of the Gu family hesitated for a moment and immediately followed, of course it was impossible for Yuan Fengqing to sit alone in the hall, not to mention that Feng Jiu did not say that she should wait here, so she had to follow as well.
A group of people hurried through the corridors like a market, bypassing the room in front of them and entering the inner courtyard, and then passing through several alleys before stopping in front of a house that looked like a firewood house, the door was closed, and there was a heavy iron lock hanging on the door, and the contents hidden in it must be very valuable.
Yuan Fengqing watched from afar as Feng Jiu let go of Old Lady Gu, the old man shook and almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, the two servants supported him in time, so that he would not fall to the ground in embarrassment. And Feng Jiu stepped forward and raised his hand to split the iron lock, and rushed in without fear of hand pain.
Old Lady Gu coughed several times before she regained her breath, and scolded angrily, but she didn't follow Feng Jiu into the house, just stood at the door and waited for him to come out.
If he didn't go in, Yuan Fengqing would naturally not be able to go in, so he could only stand there and look at the open wooden door in front of him, guessing what treasures were hidden inside.
