Chapter Ninety-Six: Trying to Escape
Looking at the complacent Pei Yuanting, Huang Zhutou secretly rejoiced in his heart: It seems that I really didn't guess wrong, this person is really Brother Wen's senior brother. Since ancient times, reciprocating the peach is the only rule of interpersonal communication, just now you want to help each other, at this time I will strongly recommend. You respect me a foot and I will give you a fight, this is my Huang someone's code of conduct. If you soar because of this, surely you will not forget my kindness today.
Thinking of this, he looked proud and said, "Brother Pei, then everything here depends on you." Your brother Wen and I have to rush to Yizhuang, twenty miles away. ”
After saying that, he hugged his fist at Qin Keqing, and said loudly: "Lord Qin, there are still important official duties and important official duties, so I will take the first step." ”
Qin Keqing frowned, and said with a little displeasure: "Okay, I know, the distance of twenty miles is not close, you can go quickly." ”
Huang Zhutou was slightly stunned, and said secretly in his heart: Why did this Lord Qin suddenly have an angry look, it must be because I threw this hot potato to her. But he still said with a smile on his face: "Then the lower official will retire first." After saying that, he bowed down and hurriedly walked out with Wen Ziqi.
Seeing the two leaving, Qin Keqing glanced at Pei Yuanting and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Pei, lead the way!" ”
Pei Yuanting straightened his collar and said in a suppressed voice: "Miss Qin, don't tease me here, don't you know what kind of person I am?" ”
"It's very clear," Qin Keqing's eyes lit up, and he said with a light smile: "You have a good appetite, you can speak well, and the key is to be bold and careful!" ”
Pei Yuanting was stunned when he heard this, and said without thinking: "Can I take these as words of praise for me?" ”
"This was originally a compliment to you," Nangong Feifei changed her cold attitude and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Pei." ”
"Worthy of it, worthy of it." Pei Yuanting hurriedly snorted and said.
The corners of Qin Keqing's mouth curled slightly, and he said with a smile: "Since you feel that you are ashamed, why don't you take me to see Lao Wu, and by the way, I will also help us check it out to see if we have died of anger?" ”
"Then there was no need, because I watched him die in front of me. This old guy..."In the middle of his words, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, so he smiled awkwardly and said: "This old Wu, I don't know what to think, the current weather is actually going swimming, this cold and biting must be frozen to death." But there is one thing, I really admire Lao Wu, he chose to swim upstream, and he also swam two miles to the land. ”
Qin Keqing was stunned when he heard this, and secretly said in his heart: "He actually chose to go upstream, you must know that the Wei River is notoriously fast, not to mention that his ribs have been broken three or four, and even his arm has suffered a heavy punch, so he can swim two miles away, which shows that his water nature is by no means comparable to ordinary people." ”
Regardless of its wateriness, I am afraid that there are few people who can compare this mind alone. Under such harsh conditions, he was seriously injured, and instead of choosing to go down the river and leave this place of right and wrong as quickly as possible, he chose to go against the current instead of taking the usual path.
If someone jumps into the river to escape, the pursuer will inevitably follow the embankment and go down the river to find it, how can he think that he will spend a lot of physical strength to swim upstream. In this way, the time difference was enough for him to escape.
If it weren't for Wen Ziqi's "mistake" to break the silver needle and leave it in the meridians, I am afraid that he would have infiltrated the city with everyone's secrets at this time.
Thinking of this, Qin Keqing suddenly felt that his scalp was numb, if it wasn't for Wen Ziqi to keep his back hand, I'm afraid that the secret had already been announced to the world by Wu Zhibang.
Although I sincerely admired Wen Ziqi in my heart, I still felt that this method was too vicious. Perhaps the moment Wen Ziqi jumped out of the window, Wu Zhibang's fate had already been decided. It's just that Nangong Feifei and her are hindered, so they didn't hurt the killer in front of him.
Thinking of what Wu Zhibang had done, Qin Keqing suddenly showed anger on his face, and said coldly: "It's really a gambling skill for success, and a gambling skill for losing!" ”
Pei Yuanting looked at Qin Keqing with a puzzled expression, and said as if he didn't understand: "That's it, gambling is never a good thing!" ”
Listening to his unrelated words, Nangong Feifei almost couldn't hold back her laughter, so she asked, "Do you know that gambling is not a good thing, and you still gamble with him?" ”
"I don't want to gamble with him either," Pei Yuanting shrugged his shoulders and said, "But he is indeed a little too deceitful, and he has made a lot of tea in the three major realms of life." ”
"Oh, I see," Nangong Feifei suddenly realized, "So you want to make up for some face, so you bet with him?" ”
Pei Yuanting nodded, and said with a guilty face: "Who would have thought that his gambling skills were ridiculously high, and I didn't win once, but he slapped me with a big mouth." As he spoke, he reached out and touched his still flushed cheek.
Qin Keqing looked at him like this, and asked with a smile: "Why, it seems that you still admire him?" ”
Pei Yuanting nodded and said, "That's natural, I am willing to accept the loss of the bet." But what I admire more is his water nature, don't look at others old, this water nature is not ambiguous at all. In this cold and biting river, it can go up more than two miles against the current, and there are a few people who can do this, unless...."
"Unless what?" Qin Keqing saw that Pei Yuanting wanted to speak and stopped, so he opened his mouth and asked: "What do you say, such a slurred is not like your character." ”
Pei Yuanting's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he looked pensive, and after a long time, he asked, "Feifei girl, do you know who Lao Wu is?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Nangong Feifei, who asked, was speechless, she had investigated Wu Zhibang, but she did not investigate anything suspicious. After a long time, I didn't take it seriously. If it weren't for Wen Ziqi's discovery of the secret after hearing his stunt of winning every gamble this time, it is estimated that he would only think that he was just a simple lonely old man.
At this time, when Pei Yuanting asked him, he realized that everything he had investigated at the beginning finally pointed to the gambling house, but no one knew about what happened before the gambling house. Now that I think about it, I realize that it is very likely that someone deliberately hid his previous affairs, or that all the information about his whole person was fabricated.
Pei Yuanting saw that Nangong Feifei didn't talk, thinking that he shouldn't know Lao Wu's life experience, so he said: "I wonder if the two young ladies have heard of Nanyue?" ”
Nangong Feifei was stunned when she heard this, and said lightly: "Naturally, I know that I am a mortal enemy, how can I not know." Do you think Lao Wu is from South Vietnam? ”
Pei Yuanting shook his head like a rattle, and hurriedly said: "I just said that you have never heard of Nanyue, and I didn't say that Lao Wu is a native of Nanyue. ”
"Are you panting and talking like this to scare people to death?" Nangong Feifei patted her chest, glanced at Pei Yuanting, and said angrily: "I thought that my painting boat had a spy from an enemy country, if this is spread out, how can I be an oiran?" ”
Pei Yuanting scratched his head and said with an aggrieved face: "I mentioned the word Nanyue, it's not that I'm panting when I speak, it's just that you are overreacting." ”
"Okay, okay, it's my overreaction," Nangong Feifei impatiently threw the towel she was holding in her hand on the table, and said coldly: "You go on, what's wrong with Nanyue?" ”
"South Vietnam is located on the edge of the sea, some fishermen live on boats all day long in order to live, eating and drinking all from the sea, in order to survive, so their water nature is generally much better than our Da Zhou people, just like Lao Wu, we Da Zhou I am afraid that the whole country can not find so few, but in Nan Yue want to find such a thing, but it doesn't take much effort to find it." Pei Yuanting finished saying what he thought in his heart in one breath, and he suddenly felt refreshed.
Qin Keqing thought for a moment and asked thoughtfully, "Where did you hear this from?" ”
Pei Yuanting said disapprerovingly: "The medicine commonly used in refining medicine is called pearl, which comes from a kind of shell at the bottom of the sea. I am extremely rare in good condition, and this kind of thing is actually not a rare thing in South Vietnam. That's why they sent people to South Vietnam to buy it, and I listened to them. ”
Nangong Feifei glared at Pei Yuanting with a displeased expression, and said coldly: "Just based on some hearsay, you have framed my old Wu as a spy of South Vietnam, I'm afraid this is not a gentleman's doing." ”
Pei Yuanting was stunned when he heard this, stroked his eyebrows and feet in embarrassment, lowered his head and whispered: "You have to say it, and now you blame me, women are really difficult to serve." ”
The voice was not loud, but the words reached the ears of Nangong Feifei and Qin Keqing. Qin Keqing was fine, but she was stunned, she knew that Pei Yuanting had always been like this, so she didn't mind.
But Nangong Feifei was like a flower cat whose tail had been stepped on, stood up on the ground, and said: "Okay, you big mouth, you really dare to say anything, aunt and grandmother, when have I been insulted by a stinky man like you." ”
"Insults?" Pei Yuanting hurriedly retreated, and said in surprise: "Where did I insult you, you are more unreasonable than me." As he spoke, he took a step back and stood in the distance and looked at Nangong Feifei helplessly.
"Okay, don't make trouble, you two," Qin Keqing saw that Nangong Feifei seemed to be really a little annoyed, so he hurriedly said: "It's not too early, we still have something to do, let's go." ”
Nangong Feifei snorted coldly, pointed at Pei Yuanting with her hand and said, "Remember, you owe me a favor." ”
"Huh?" Pei Yuanting looked at her with a puzzled look on his face and said, "Why do I owe you a favor, you have to talk about it." ”
"If it weren't for you, would my old Wu be angry and commit suicide by jumping into the river?" Nangong Feifei's face was like frost, her eyes locked on Pei Yuanting's face like ice needles, and said, "Now that you have been dragging it out and not taking us to see it, could it be that you have already destroyed your corpse?" ”
As soon as he said Lao Wu, Pei Yuanting suddenly felt as if he was being pinched by the neck, and he didn't dare to make a sound, so he had to walk out obediently.
Seeing him walk out of the water pavilion, Nangong Feifei laughed out loud.
Qin Keqing shook his head and said, "What are you bluffing him for." ”
"You'll find out later," Nangong Feifei pretended to smile mysteriously, then sorted out her expression, and walked out of the water pavilion with a sad and indignant expression.
Qin Keqing sighed and said, "The brine points tofu, one thing drops one thing, Lao Pei, you can be regarded as meeting an opponent." ”
