Chapter 122: Arrival
While speaking, everyone had already entered this hall that was not counted, but they saw that the things inside were better than those in other places, not to mention that the tables and chairs were complete, and there were still a few paintings hanging on the stone walls.
Those tables and chairs made of local materials and trees outside the mountain are not carved, only varnish, and they are still interesting for Qi Xuanhui and others, who are used to seeing fine carving.
Yan Eighteen is the master of this room, and takes the initiative to invite everyone to take a seat, fortunately, because there is no shortage of raw materials, there are a lot of chairs in the hall, and there is no problem of not being able to sit down.
While they sat down, there was a lot of movement outside, and listening to the meaning of the words, it was the person at the door just now, who was busy preparing meals for everyone.
Meng Zelang immediately glanced at Shen Chao, who immediately pulled the people around him out, saying that he was going to help, but in fact, he was going to monitor the people who were cooking to prevent people from taking advantage of the opportunity to do something.
After Qi Xuanhui sat down, he looked around the environment in the hall, this was a real stone hall, a chisel, a chisel dug out, the security was absolutely safe, but the energy spent was also considerable.
Seeing that Meng Zelang was not far from Qi Xuanhui's side, Gao Dengshan took the initiative to stand up, and let the people who were mentally and physically good go out and walk around, it seemed that he was supporting them to go out, but in fact, he was also giving them the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the environment.
And those who are in a state of mind and look really bad on their faces, they simply trouble the people here, help arrange a place to stay, and let them go to rest first, so that they are half-dead, it is useless to stay, it is only right to let them recover their spirits as soon as possible.
With the same arrangement as he did, the number of people in the hall gradually decreased. The boiling hot water was also served, and Yan Shibai took the teapot and poured tea for them personally.
Qi Xuanhui, who was sitting on the top, smiled and said, "Childe, we have arrived safely so easily, and this big stone in my heart has finally landed." ”
"Let's finish dinner tonight, we will rest early, and early tomorrow morning, we will give you a big surprise!"
Qi Xuanhui drilled through the long tunnel that hid countless dangers, and walked through the ghostly workmanship. It was also added to the natural cave by Yan Eighteen to the formation.
It took five days. just came to the destination, in fact, Yan Eighteen no longer needed any peace of mind, he had really felt how much effort Yan Eighteen had spent on this. And how long did it take?
This man can put his biggest chips. Take it out. What else do you need to suspect before your eyes?
If Yan Eighteen really wanted to escape, when he was in the lost array in the woods outside the mountain. You can take Xu Zhanming and leave.
If Yan Eighteen wanted to be unfavorable to Qi Xuanhui, he only needed to leak Qi Xuanhui's secret visit, and then add some oil and vinegar to it, presumably the Xuanping Marquis Mansion would do it for him.
I really can't afford to make such a hard toss, what he lets Qi Xuanhui and them see now are all henchmen among henchmen, and these people have a very important position in his mind.
The relationship between people and people, whether it is false or sincere, can be seen from each other's eyes.
In this situation, at this moment, even Mr. Han Ning, who was the least welcome to Yan Eighteen, did not say a word, he sat quietly on the stone bench and drank the hot tea in his hand one by one.
On the contrary, Master Ran was in a good mood, and asked Yan Eighteen, "I said eighteen, you invited those masters who dug tunnels, are they still there?" ”
"The old man has a lot of questions in his heart, and I want to ask them a question or two!"
Yan Eighteen couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, "Oh my master, this tunnel was six or seven years ago. ”
"The people I took the trouble to invite at the beginning are all people who have made their homes all over the world and traveled all over the mountains and rivers, how can they hide in this stone box and not move?"
"These people are just for money, so as soon as the tunnel was completed, they disappeared completely, and now you can still find them there."
"However, if you want to ask about the tunnel, you might as well sleep with Zaixia tonight, when you first dug the tunnel, Zaixia was also very curious, so I asked for advice."
"Although people won't easily reveal those secrets that are not told, some fur is still asked below."
Master Ran nodded again and again, "Okay, okay, okay, then the two of us will sleep in the same room." ”
When Qi Xuanhui heard this, he smiled secretly in his heart, "Disappear? I think I went to report to Lord Yama, right? ”
"As far as your work here is concerned, it's almost the same as repairing the mausoleum, those people are all from the rivers and lakes, if you really live and let it out, you will leak out of the wind for a while."
"Since you can show a look of peace of mind without worries, you must know that they will never tell anyone about this place."
"And what better way to keep a secret than a dead man?"
He bent the corners of his mouth, and unconsciously glanced at Mr. Han Ning, and when the two looked at each other, they couldn't help but smile.
Cao Mu saw that Qi Xuanhui and Mr. Han Ning were both sitting firmly, and those little eyes came over, and he didn't know what they meant, but he didn't want to ask more.
He is an impatient and the most curious, and after walking for so many days, he sees that he has arrived at him, but he still does not reveal the secret.
This taste is really uncomfortable, and my heart is like a cat scratching, itchy and uncomfortable.
According to Cao Mu's thoughts, there is such a tight cave in front of him, there is not even a window, to put it bluntly, it is the stone box in Yan Shiba's mouth just now.
This kind of terrain is basically similar to a tomb, what kind of surprise can there be?
Is it the treasure of the previous dynasty?
Or is it a feathered immortal here?
Or did Yan Eighteen hide all the evidence against Xuanping Hou in this tight place?
I didn't mention anything all the way before, Cao Mu understood that he was afraid of leaking out, but this was all in place, and he still didn't mention anything, didn't he mean to die in a hurry?
He immediately cleared his throat and was about to ask the question in his heart, but as soon as he raised his head, he crashed into Qi Xuanhui's eyes that looked at him calmly.
It's okay now, and it's hard to muster up the energy. The thorns are all gone.
Cao Mu lowered his head wiltedly, raised his hand to pick up the teacup, and drank it for a while, but he couldn't taste anything, and he didn't know whether the tea was good or bad.
I hate myself for being so unproductive?
Partial was shocked by a teenage baby, and when people looked at him, he was dumbfounded, which also made people lose face.
To tell you something from the heart, even if Qi Xuanhui does not have the noble status of a good prince now, Cao Mu is a little stunned by this. It's not the same as his fear of his own brother.
Facing Ming Anhou. No matter how scared Cao Mu is, he always knows his own brother, no matter how much he says. He will not be ruthless.
But Qi Xuanhui is different. He was facing him. I don't have any bottom in my heart, anyway, this feeling is very weird, and I can't describe it in words. It's a very subtle mental induction,
Cao Mu always felt that this dead child was definitely a star in the sky, if he wasn't born, how could he be so imposing at a young age?
After the tea, everyone went back to the room to wash and rest under the guidance of Yan Eighteen, thinking that this meal would be made, and the time would not be short, so why not take the opportunity to stretch their waists and legs?
About an hour later, someone outside came to invite him to go to the hall for dinner, Qi Xuanhui opened the door and saw that Shen Chao, the kid was holding a wooden basin in his hand, and said with a smile: "Master, my subordinates are waiting for you to wash and change your clothes." ”
Qi Xuanhui couldn't help grinning at the corners of his mouth, and said angrily: "You serve me? You yourself are still served by others, I don't dare to use you, leave it there, I will do it myself. ”
Shen Chao smiled and put the basin on the wooden shelf, he didn't go out in the end, but he still diligently helped Qi Xuanhui hand over the handkerchief and belt, and it was still a little interesting to watch.
Shen Chao accompanied Qi Xuanhui to the front of the hall, then turned around and went to the room on the right, where there were also three tables, and they ate there.
As soon as Qi Xuanhui sat down, the outside began to serve food one after another, and it smelled quite fragrant.
He looked at it, and hey, it was all real dishes.
They are all wild foods such as stewed pheasant, fish stewed with tofu, stir-fried wild boar, stir-fried wild vegetables with bacon, and wild vegetable soup with crucian carp.
Don't look at the dishes, there are not many dishes, there are only eight kinds, but the portions are full, all of them are packed in wooden basins larger than the face, which looks steaming and very appetizing!
For people who haven't eaten a decent meal for four or five days, this is simply a delicacy, no one is talking nonsense at the moment, looking at Qi Xuanhui picked up the chopsticks and sandwiched a piece of lion's mane mushroom, all the big guys picked up the chopsticks and ate it.
When his stomach was round, Cao Mu asked curiously, "Why is there tofu here?" ”
If you want to come here to the nearest mountain village, there are still six or seven days away, even if it is specially bought tofu, in such a hot weather, I am afraid that before you get the place, it will be rancid.
When Yan Eighteen heard this, he smiled and pointed to the middle-aged man who was waiting on the side, "This person's name is Yan Hai, his Lao Tzu is the head chef of our family, he learned a good cooking skill from his own Lao Tzu when he was a child, and this tofu is made by himself." ”
"How? Doesn't it eat worse than the outside? ”
Cao Mu is not a stingy person, and immediately rewarded Yan Hai with a treasure-inlaid dagger pinned to his waist, and praised: "Tonight is really the most delicious meal I have ever eaten in my life." ”
"Don't believe it, this tofu is the best I've ever tasted, it's really comfortable! Such a good cooking skill deserves a heavy reward! ”
After a few laughs, Yan Shibai stood up, "You have worked hard in the past few days, get a good night's sleep tonight, slow down, tomorrow morning, let's see you here." ”
As he spoke, he personally sent people into the stone houses one by one, and the appearance of these stone houses was the same, and there was no big difference between the inside, just a table, a few stools, and a bed.
It was only in the room where Yan Shibai lived in the past, with a pair of green cloth curtains hanging on the wooden bed, and the top of the bed was thicker, and now his house is naturally where Qi Xuanhui lives.
Yan Eighteen accompanied Master Ran and lived in the room on Qi Xuanhui's left hand, while Meng Zelang took Yuan Quan to live on the right.
Shen Chao, this kid, followed Meng Zelang's instructions, and his face was in Qi Xuanhui's house, not to mention that this room was spacious, he wanted to lay the floor here.
Qi Xuanhui originally wanted everyone to have a good rest and rest, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back.
In an unfamiliar environment, surrounded by strange people, even if he believes in Yan Eighteen in his heart, there are still two or three percent of variables.
As a leader of a team, it doesn't hurt to be emotional, and to be vigilant at all times.
He raised his hand and pointed to the end of the bed and said, "This is a big bed, you can make up here for the night." ”
This is too disgusting, and it is too damaging to the body.
As long as Shen Chao can stay in this house, as for sleeping there, it is a trivial matter, and he is busy nodding at the moment, and the two men sleep at the head of the bed and the end of the bed.
A good night's sleep, the next day Qi Xuanhui slept until he woke up naturally, there was no daylight in the cave, and he didn't know what time it would be.
As soon as he raised his foot and kicked it, he heard the shouting of oops, Qi Xuanhui hurriedly touched the fire by the pillow and lit the oil lamp.
When I looked up, it was Shen Chao who got up too hard and hit the bedpost, which would be screaming and rubbing.
He smiled helplessly, got dressed, and after the two of them cleaned up, they went out of the house one after the other.
But I saw two people guarding the door, Meng Zelang on the left, this one standing with his hands around his arms, leaning on the stone wall, Yuan Quan on the right, and this one squatting on the ground.
As soon as these two people heard the movement, they immediately stood up straight and greeted Qi Xuanhui, and Yuan Quan pulled Shen Chao with a smile on his face and muttered quietly.
Meng Zelang stayed by Qi Xuanhui's side and whispered: "Last night, Xiao Quan and I stayed alone for half the night, and there was nothing unusual. ”
Qi Xuanhui nodded slightly, "It's hard work, what kind of medicine is sold in Mr. Yan's gourd, it will be revealed soon, whether it is good or bad, it will be this morning." ”
When I arrived at the hall, there were not many people, except for Yan Eighteen and Master Zhiran sitting together, who were talking happily.
Then there is Cui Yongzhong, who is sitting on the side and listening attentively, after resting for a night, this person's spirit has improved a lot, and he is no longer a languid appearance who can't even straighten his waist
And Mr. Hanning, Cao Mu, and Gao Dengshan are still nowhere to be seen, they must be sleeping soundly, it seems that no one woke up this morning, and when they wake up, they will wake up when they sleep, but it is rare to indulge.
As soon as they saw Qi Xuanhui coming, everyone stood up and saluted, and someone brought water to serve Qi Xuanhui to wash, and when he cleaned up, the remaining three all entered the door.
After a simple breakfast, Yan Shibai finally stopped delaying time, stood up and said, "Childe, everyone, it stands to reason that when we arrived last night, we should reveal the mystery and let the big guy sleep peacefully." ”
"But it's getting late at that time, even if I want to share this big secret with you, but our eyes are black, and we can't see anything."
"It's already two moments, it's sunny outside, everything is clear, and I don't have much to say, just let the facts speak for themselves!" (To be continued......)
