Chapter 164: Reality is Fiction
Hearing Tao Tian's words, Wen Ziqi's face was slightly stunned, and he smiled with a smile: "Brother Tao, what do you understand?" Tell me about it! ”
The night breeze whistled through the door, the candle flame in the house swayed lightly, Tao Tian stared at the candlelight, his eyes were dark, and he smiled shallowly, and replied: "It's easy to say, what's so difficult about this!"
As he spoke, he raised his hand and glanced at Qin Keqing, and said respectfully: "What Lord Qin said just now that I didn't kill by mistake at all, the implication is that Guo Zhen is also meticulous, this must be much earlier than my name, right?"
It sounded like an inquiry, but everyone present knew that he wasn't really asking, but to make sure he was right.
Everyone was not polite, so they all nodded, and Huo Xiao even said in a protective voice: "Didn't you also figure it out, we are just a little faster, you have nothing to be ashamed of!" ”
After saying that, it seemed that it would be okay if it was just about the two of them, but now that there are a few high-ranking and powerful adults around them, they feel a little reckless.
There is a way to say that the water that was spilled out, and it was not easy to take it back, so he immediately hugged his fist at Qin Keqing slightly, and said in a shallow voice: "There are many conflicts in the words of the people's women, and please bear with the adults." ”
Qin Keqing's expression froze when he heard this, and he didn't take it to heart in the first place, but at this time, seeing Huo Xiao pleading guilty with such fanfare, he hurriedly waved his hand and quipped: "There are so many etiquettes, no hindrance!" ”
Tao Tian, who was just about to open his mouth to say in detail, looked at the chatter and laughter between Huo Xiao and Qin Keqing, so he shook his head in confusion and sighed lightly, "Where is this, why don't I understand what you are talking about!" ”
Huo Xiao listened to Tao Tian's remarks, the corners of his mouth trembled slightly, and he seemed helpless to Tao Tian, who was not online in both IQ and EQ, so he sneered, "You don't have to think about what we just said, it has nothing to do with you, you continue to say yours." ”
Tao Tian, who was choked back, nodded as if he didn't understand, and coughed lightly: "You are all smarter than me, so you naturally heard the meaning of Lord Qin's words. Now that I already know that Guo is really meticulous. Then the next step is to speculate on what country he belongs to. Between the news that he sold Xiliang's fine works, it was obviously not Xiliang's people. It's better to judge which country he is from! ”
Speaking of this, I saw Tao Tian's voice pause, and he swept everyone proudly, his eyes flashed, as if he was waiting for everyone to ask.
The people present were all the best among the people, so they didn't know what he meant, they all shook their heads and chuckled, only Wen Ziqi stopped laughing and asked softly, "Then what kind of work is he?" ”
Hearing someone ask, Tao Tian pretended to frown profoundly, and after pretending to think about it, he said loudly: "This has to be inferred from the geographical location, Youzhou is located in the westernmost part of my Zhou country, and it is bordered by Xiliang and Nanyue, since Guo Zhen is not Xiliang's study, it is simple, he is Nanyue's fine work!" ”
After saying that, Tao Tian looked around and found that no one applauded, so he sighed in disappointment, and secretly thought to himself, is my analysis not exciting enough? Or have they already guessed it.
In fact, it's not that his analysis is not exciting enough, it's just that Qin Keqing just knows the whole story, so naturally he won't have any reaction, as for Wen Ziqi, he has already guessed it after Qin Keqing spoke.
And Nangong Feifei didn't want to do this at all, so she didn't pay attention to it at all, but just said nothing. Only Huo Xiao was the only one left, and he was also remorseful because of his words just now, so naturally he would not do this kind of thing again.
"That's right," Qin Keqing pursed his lips and continued quietly: "Guo Zhen is actually a fine work planted by South Vietnam in our dynasty, and it is rumored that the South Vietnamese side was ready to vigorously support it, and wanted to train him to be a self-leading inspector. That's why..."
Speaking of this, it seemed that some words were not suitable to say in front of Tao Tian Huo Xiao, so he hurriedly stopped talking.
But Wen Ziqi didn't seem to realize the deep meaning of its abrupt stop, so he nodded suddenly and said loudly: "That's why the South Vietnamese side tried their best to collect the news of Xiliang's fine work, and then handed it over to Guo Zhen." I'm still wondering how he, an ordinary person, could have so many secret things. Saying this, he found Qin Keqing staring at him with a frosty face, so he immediately stopped his mouth. Awkwardly stroked the tip of his nose and made up for it: "I guessed, I guessed!" ”
The atmosphere suddenly became a little subtle and awkward, perhaps because the door was open, the candle flame burned very quickly, the wick quickly became much shorter, and the hall became dark in a blink of an eye.
Nangong Feifei pinched a bamboo stick with one hand, pulled out the wick a little, and the room was much brighter, Qin Keqing glanced at the candle flame, and sighed: "Life is like a candle, I don't know when there will be a strong wind..."
Before her words landed, the night wind seemed to hear it, whistling, Wen Ziqi hurriedly pulled out in front of the candle flame and quipped: "It's okay, I'll stand in the way." ”
Nangong Feifei, who was lowering her head and playing with bamboo sticks, hurriedly said "Huh", and said stupidly: "Can you pay attention to the occasion," Speaking of this, she glanced at Wen Ziqi's lower body, and said angrily: "And Brother Wen, you are standing in front of me in tattered clothes like this, it is really unsightly!" ”
Wen Ziqi, who was originally complacent, was said by Nangong Feifei, and when he was like defeating a rooster, his cheeks immediately flushed, and he was embarrassed and at a loss.
Maybe he felt that it was not suitable to say this at this time, but after saying that, Nangong Feifei regretted it, and at this time, when she saw Wen Ziqi's embarrassment, she was slightly stunned, and said regretfully: "Brother Wen, I didn't mean it!" ”
Wen Ziqi was stunned when he heard this, and he was a little annoyed in his heart, but when he saw that Nangong Feifei's eyes were full of shame, he sighed and said with a wry smile: "I know you didn't mean it!" ”
Now, the fact that the pants were torn could no longer be concealed, so he smiled calmly and said: "Shopkeeper Cao..." I'm about to lose my clothes. ”
Huo Xiao was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, yes, I'll go and get it for you!" With that, he stood up and walked to the backyard.
Tao Tian glanced back at Huo Xiao, who was leaving, as if he had thought of something, and hurriedly said, "Lord Qin, I forgot to tell you something just now!" ”
Qin Keqing glanced at him, as if he knew what he was going to say, and said angrily, "Only now do you think about it?" If I wait for you to remind me, I guess you have more than a dozen more lives on your hands! ”
Tao Tian was stunned for a moment, and then slowly lowered his head, what Qin Keqing said was right, if he chased after him now, it would definitely be too late. The thought of the mistake he almost made made him sweat dripping on his forehead. As if he had found something, he hurriedly raised his head and asked, "Lord Qin, how do you know what I want to say!" ”
Qin Keqing raised his eyes and glanced at Tao Tian with a puzzled face, and said disapprehantly: "Isn't that the package of dim sum poisoned?" It's so hard to guess! ”
Tao Tian was stunned for a moment when he heard this, although he did not leave an inch all day, but he also paid attention to it all the time, not to mention that in the afternoon alone, the actions of these people in the hall could be said to have been witnessed throughout the whole process.
But I haven't seen the two of them communicate about the package, and when they thought of this, they looked at Wen Ziqi blankly.
After a long time, Tao Tian finally couldn't suppress the doubts in his heart, so he asked, "Lord Wen, who are you?" ”
Hearing this, Wen Ziqi smiled, raised his eyes to look outside the dark house, and then said in a deep voice: "Do you believe me when I say that I am a pharmacy apprentice?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Qin Keqing and Nangong Fei Feiden were stunned for a moment, you must know that what the three of them did when they came out this time was not a chivalrous act to show their faces, if someone with a heart probed a little, they could find some clues from it.
Just when the two of them were secretly smacking their tongues, Tao Tian suddenly burst into laughter: "Master Wen, it's really a witty remark, and you are also a pharmacy apprentice!" Speaking of this, he glanced at Qin Keqing, and said loudly: "Even this Lord Qin has been polite to you, you said you are a junior apprentice?" ”
Speaking of this, as if thinking of something, he quickly nodded and muttered to himself: "Why did I ask such a stupid question, isn't it disliked!" ”
In his judgment, Wen Ziqi said that he was an apprentice in the pharmacy, just to hide his identity. You must know that Lord Qin is the one who decides Xin Kang's life and death with one word! Even she is polite to her, how can she be a little minion that no one cares about!
Looking at Tao Tian's expression, a hint of cunning flashed between Nangong Feifei's eyes, and she muttered, "It's not stupid!" ”
The hall was already silent, and Nangong Feifei couldn't lower her voice, Tao Tian naturally listened to it word for word, so he grinned and laughed at himself, "If you do more stupid things, you will naturally become smarter!" ”
While speaking, Huo Xiao walked out of the backyard with a box in his hand, and saw that everyone was the same as when he left, so he sighed lightly.
The abruptness of this sound surprised everyone present, and Wen Ziqi asked even more vigilantly, "Is there anything wrong?" ”
Huo Xiao's eyebrows tightened, as if he was thinking about how to elaborate, "Just now when I was rummaging in the backyard, I heard the sound of tables and chairs moving. ”
After saying that, he stepped in front of Wen Ziqi and bowed, "My lord!" As he spoke, he raised his hands and handed the box to Wen Ziqi.
But Wen Ziqi didn't seem to see her at all, and his eyes looked at the backyard like a sword.
Qin Keqing and Nangong Feifei glanced at each other, and said in unison: "Someone! ”
Before the two of them could speak to the ground, they felt a black shadow flash from the door to the backyard, and then saw that Wen Ziqi, who was originally standing in front of Huo Xiao, was no longer there.
Although it is late autumn, the leaves still hang on the ginkgo trees, and the night wind blows and rustles.
The bright moon was already hidden behind the clouds, and at this time, it was blocked by leaves, and the small courtyard was in shadow.
Wen Ziqi glanced at the dark guest room, and asked loudly, "Friend, since you have leaked the phase, why are you hiding it?" ”
