Chapter 64 Peace Treaty
Located in the center of the city, Dengxian Tower is the interconnected button of every main street in the city, and it is also a turning point, which can be described as extending in all directions, and it is extremely convenient to come and go. It has only been established for more than 50 years, and has become the largest restaurant in the capital, which is magnificent and majestic from the outside.
There are six floors in this building, and different floors have different decoration styles due to different reception groups, and of course, there are corresponding dishes to the level. From the common people and those who passed by, to the dignitaries and the royal family, each group had a specific floor to be responsible for reception.
Although the hierarchy of Dengxian Tower is extremely obvious and the implementation is very strict, it never interferes with the personal freedom and freedom of speech of the guests, and the confidentiality work is quite good! As long as you enter the wing room and the door is closed, even if you scold the emperor and denounce all injustices inside, no one will know, let alone show it to you. Therefore, over time, this place has become the most real place in the whole world, and it has also become the largest intelligence center in the whole world. Of course, there is only one person who can grasp this information, and that is the behind-the-scenes boss of Dengxian Tower. But who is the boss behind the scenes? This is unknown.
At this moment, Xia Xue'er and Murong Zetao were sitting in a simple and elegant private room on the third floor, and there was a pot of good dragon wells on the table. Bursts of heat rose in the white jade teacup, spreading quickly into the air like incense, and the whole room was filled with the quiet fragrance of tea.
Murong Zetao looked around, the whole house did not have a bit of extravagance, fresh and elegant two-sided embroidered screens, and simple and natural carved round tables...... The furnishings of the entire room are more suitable for a hermit who admires nature and is far away from the world.
"I thought that a young lady like a girl, who was in a big family and was accustomed to living a life of poverty and luxury, would prefer those splendid decorations."
Childe laughed, not only gold and silver can indicate a person's living state, if it is value, which of the things in this house is not priceless? Isn't it more than silver and gold? The little girl did not like the arrogance of gold and silver, but preferred the elegance of this wood. ”
Murong Zetao laughed heartily, she was really an unusual woman, he liked it!
"Presumably, the girl also often comes here to climb the immortal building, and she can choose her favorite among the hundreds of rooms with different decoration styles at one time."
Xia Xue'er was not a fool, so she naturally heard Murong Zetao's words, so she smiled slightly, and replied unhurriedly: "Netherworld Valley is also a big gang in the world, as the deputy valley master, I haven't even been to such a place a few times, so no one will believe it if it spreads!" Of course, this is not the real reason, the real reason is that this private room was specially designed for her! However, only a few people know about it.
"I thought that the third lady would say that as the concubine of the dignified Xia Mansion, such a place has already broken through the threshold."
Anyone can hear the mockery in Murong Zetao's words, it seems that this person is here for her identity as the third lady of the Xia family, but how much hatred does he have with officialdom?
"There are not a few officials who loot the people's fat and people's ointment, but there are also those who are not greedy. Although I am in the Hou Mansion, I also know that my father is an upright and upright person, could it be that the big thing that Gongzi just said is to accuse me of my identity? If that's the case, then it's hard work for you, and I don't think there's anything to be ashamed of being the daughter of the Hou Mansion. Xia Xue'er paused and continued: "There are people in the officialdom who touch the dark, there are people who hold the lamp, there are people who eat and drink nonsense, and there are people who are down-to-earth. ”
"Hahaha~" Murong Zetao looked up to the sky and laughed after hearing this, "I thought that the old man who shook the sky was dizzy, and he actually promoted a little-known yellow-haired girl to be the deputy valley master, who would have thought that he was still a clever girl, and I don't know what means he used to dig it up!" ”
"As the saying goes, people can't look good, and the sea can't fight, and it's a yellow-haired girl, didn't it also hit Gongzi's lore palace?"
In an instant, Murong Zetao's smile choked, and his face turned red in one breath. I wanted to take advantage of her not knowing her true identity to deliberately extinguish her majesty, but who knew that after tossing for a long time, she actually knew! Well, this way doesn't work, there is another way, anyway, there is always a way to cure you!
Thinking of this, he slowly lowered his head, making it difficult to see his expression. When I raised my head, the same face had changed someone. The smile on his face as warm as the sun was gone, replaced by a handsome face and indifferent eyebrows. Although it was just expressionless, it invisibly revealed that in addition to a little bit of evil qi, it was the kind of evil qi that can only come from the inside if there is too much blood on the hands, the darkness ...... Horrible...... Suffocating...... The eyes that originally saw it to the end were no longer clear, as if it was covered with a veil, which made it difficult for people to see it really.
You don't need too many expressions and demeanors, just sink your face, and you can't look at it directly, this deep sense of oppression is called the demeanor of a king!
Is it a disguise? Or is this what he is?
It seemed that even the air froze instantly, and it was a sunny afternoon, but it was as cold as if the house was full of ice ballast.
The sound of the piano is the same as before, but now it sounds like an old man on the verge of death, gasping intermittently, powerless...... Struggle...... Sink...... Xia Xue'er waved her hand, and the music girl who played the piano got up and went out in understanding.
Although the temperature around her body has dropped sharply below zero, she still drinks tea and looks leisurely and complacent. The almost transparent white jade cup and the knuckle fingers that hold it seem to merge into one, the white jade is flawless, moist and silky.
"I think, the hall master of the hall of the dignified lore hall is here, not just to make fun of the little girl, right?" Xia Xue'er put down the teacup in her hand, her tone did not fluctuate in the slightest, and said: "If I guessed correctly, this token is your real goal!" As he spoke, he untied the token that had been stolen by Murong Zetao just now from his waist.
In fact, from the time Murong Zetao opened his mouth to call her the deputy valley master, she guessed whether his respect was fake and the stealing token was true. This is also the reason why she invited him to come to Dengxian Tower to talk, and sure enough, when the maid handed her the note with his identity information written on it, she already knew about seventy or eighty.
No one in the world could have imagined that this Dengxian Tower, which is deeply involved in the rivers and lakes and temples, and has stood for more than 50 years, will be the boss behind the scenes!
Seeing this, there is no need to play it anymore. Murong Zetao spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, I'll obey you!" ”
"I'll admit, I tried to steal your token, but unfortunately you found out." After that, he approached Xia Xue'er with a curious face, and asked with round eyes: "However, my action is obviously fast and light, how can you find me?" ”
Xia Xue'er looked at the curious baby who seemed to be Murong Zetao in front of her, and she was full of doubts in her heart. Sunny? Cold? Innocent? Which one is the real him?
Even when Murong Zetao revealed his full evil aura before, Xia Xue'er never panicked, but now in the face of his eyes full of curiosity and expectation, she was a little overwhelmed. Stunned, he replied, "Because...... I'm not used to people approaching me. ”
"Cut, what kind of quirk is this!" Murong Zetao sneered disdainfully, and then said with some pride: "Except for this time, I have never missed, even the last time I sneaked into the heavily guarded palace and untied his jade flute from the waist of the emperor Lao'er who was leaning on the couch and napping, no one found out!" ”
Xia Xue'er is embarrassed, is he an indifferent killer or a Jiangyang thief? If it weren't for the fact that the news of Dengxian Tower would not be wrong, she would have already doubted his identity.
"I really didn't expect that the killer of the Killing Hall would have such a ability!"
"Huh~ They can only kill people, how can they have such a ability!" Murong Zetao said very dissatisfied, and then boasted with his eyebrows fluttering: "But for me, this is just some small carving skills!" ”
Xia Xue'er looked at Murong Zetao when she said this, as if she was a little kid competing with others for candy and eating, and she didn't grow up! I couldn't help but sigh for a while.
"And what have you stolen?"
"I'm not calling it stealing, it's good to borrow it!" Murong Zetao suddenly corrected with righteous words, "Stealing is to take it for yourself, and borrowing is to pay it back, I just think it's fresh, just use it for a few days, and I'll return it when I'm tired of it." If you don't believe it, go and see the crystal chessboard in your father's study, shouldn't I just put it there as it is! ”
Crystal chessboard? Crystal chessboard! It turned out that he stole it! That's my father's favorite thing, it's the baby that the second brother got by chance when he was traveling, the chessboard is transparent, it looks very beautiful, and the chess pieces are not made of crystal but are as warm as jade, and they feel very good. But half a year ago, for some reason, it was suddenly lost, and it was not found, and half a month later, it suddenly appeared in its original position, but two chess pieces were missing, and my father was depressed for a long time, and I didn't expect that this qiē was actually done by the man in front of him!
"Little sister, let's discuss something!" Just as Xia Xue'er was thinking about it, Murong Zetao suddenly said such a sentence cheekily, Xia Xue'er really didn't want to deal with him, so she only threw a resentful look at him. But as if he didn't see it, he pulled over the chair, sat down directly on Xia Xue'er's left hand side, and said to himself: "Look, we have been talking for so long now, although we don't have a friendship between birth and death, but we can barely be regarded as friends!" You won't be pestering my Killing Hall anymore, will you? ”
Xia Xue'er frowned and looked at the speaker, she could see that the person in front of her was a child's heart, without any city government and scheming, and doing things according to preferences. It's just that I don't understand, there are many talents in the world-famous lore hall, how did he become the master of this hall?
No, she must have someone check it out later!
"The one who came to challenge me today for no reason is the killer of your Killing Palace, right?" Xia Xue'er had the heart to give him a try, but in fact, she didn't know where that person was, let alone what the relationship between Murong Zetao and that person was.
"Who? Black? Murong Zetao touched his head and thought about it, then hurriedly waved his hand and said, "He's not my person, little sister, don't talk nonsense!" ”
"Oh?" Xia Xue'er raised her eyebrows and said, "Since it's not yours, why do you know his name, and why do you wear the same clothes as him?" ”
Seeing that her whole face was full of "But I don't believe you", Murong Zetao was anxious for a while, this was none of his business, why did he have to carry this black cauldron! Besides, if he carries this pot, then will he still have a chance to bargain with Xia Xue'er?!
Fools know it's impossible! Who wants to spare someone who wants to kill themselves?
"That's because I know you can't beat him, and I want the www.biquge.info deterrent effect of Biqu Pavilion!" As soon as these words came out, and then looked at Xia Xue'er's expression, he realized that he seemed to have said the wrong thing again, so he sighed and said frankly: "The Black Demon is the killer of the Dark Night Temple, and today I came here because their hall master sent a letter to invite me to come over for a small gathering, that is, today I learned that you are the new deputy valley master of the Netherworld Valley." ”
"The Lord of the Night Temple......"
"Don't ask me who he is", Xia Xue'er was intercepted by Murong Zetao before she could ask, "Because I can't sue you, this is the rule of this industry and the morality of the rivers and lakes, please forgive me!" ”
Xia Xue'er waved her hand and said, "Okay, I barely believe you." ”
After hearing this, Murong Zetao seemed to see the dawn in the dark night, and asked excitedly, "Then you agreed with what I just said?" ”
"Don't even think about it!" Xia Xue'er ruthlessly opened her mouth and refused, how could she let go of those who did evil and did not take the lives of the people seriously? No matter what, you have to sign an agreement that can bind them!
"Ahh
"Ahhhh You are in the business of taking people's money to eliminate disasters for others, but in the process of carrying out your mission, can you not implicate so many innocent lives? Last month, in order to kill someone for a corrupt official, you chased you to a small mountain village at the foot of Dagu Mountain and slaughtered the entire village! That's seventy-six innocent lives! Last month, in order to get rid of a prisoner who had escaped from Cyprus, you were on the crowded streets, killing people in front of everyone, not counting, but also hurting innocents! If you only kill those who should be killed, then I, Xia Xue'er, will never intervene! ”
"These little rabbit cubs, see if Lao Tzu goes back and doesn't skin him!" Murong Zetao was furious when he heard this, these were all things he didn't know, and the courage of his subordinates was really fat! He had been puzzled before, the Netherworld Valley and the Hall of Death had always been well water and not river water, so how could they suddenly do something to him? It turns out that the problem is here!
"Deputy Valley Master, rest assured, I will definitely clean up and down after I go back, and something like this will never happen a second time!"
Xia Xue'er could see the anger in Murong Zetao's eyes, and she could also hear the determination in his words. After half a day of communication and observation, she knew that Murong Zetao was not a person who didn't know right from wrong, otherwise he wouldn't have spent time and effort to negotiate with her. He is stronger than her, and he only needs to directly tie her up or threaten or even kill her, and the problem will be solved!
But he didn't.
"In this way, we both make a contract, if you can agree to the above terms, sign your name and seal it, from now on, lore, netherworld, our well water will not interfere with the river water, and we will not mix it again!"
