Volume 1: Seven Emotions Seven Emotions 2: Qiankun Baoding [Thief]
A day later.
Panyu, Duan Mansion, Duan Qi bedroom.
The weather is still very hot and dry, even in the room, I will always sweat constantly.
Duan Qi wiped the sweat from his face, skillfully unlocked several locks on the box, and took out the fake tripod and handed it to Haitang.
Haitang held the ding, put it on the table next to it, and motioned for Duan Qi to sit down with Xiaoyue.
"Master Duan, I have already helped you find your Ding." Haitang said to Duan Qi with a smile.
Duan Qi was stunned for a moment, and then asked in a daze, "Where is it?" β
Begonia smiled but did not speak. Seeing this, Duan Qi was a little anxious: "Master, where is my ding?" β
"What do you think this is?" Haitang held up the thing handed over by Xiao Yue on the side.
"It's a stone." Duan Qi replied truthfully.
"Okay," Haitang said, throwing the stone into the ding, "Master Duan, please close your eyes." β
Duan Qi closed his eyes when he heard this, and the sweat on his forehead became more and more, but he obviously didn't have the heart to wipe the sweat nowβhis whole body couldn't stop trembling slightly, and a strong sense of excitement and anticipation enveloped him.
"Please open your eyes."
Hearing this, Duan Qi hurriedly opened his eyes and looked towards Begonia, only to see Begonia take out the stone from the ding.
"Master Duan, what do you think this is?" Begonia asked.
"This, it's still the same stone." Duan Qi was stunned.
Haitang smiled, and shook the thing in his hand in front of Duan Qi's eyes again: "Take a closer look, what is this?" β
Duan Qi stared at the thing in Haitang's hand, and his eyes slowly changed: "This is a stone...... No, it's," as if by magic, the stone slowly dyed gold in front of him, "it's gold?! β
"That's right," Begonia smiled, "This is your Qiankun Ding, we got it back." β
Duan Qipestle was there, and an ecstatic smile slowly appeared on his sluggish face: "My Ding, my Ding!" β
He howled, stood up and hugged Xiao Ding tightly.
"So," Begonia raised her voice, "our job is done." β
Duan Qi didn't seem to have recovered from the tremendous joy yet, and he didn't pay any attention to the other two people in front of him at all.
"Master Duan." Begonia suppressed her voice again.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Duan Qi woke up suddenly, "Thank you two masters, thank you two masters," Speaking of this, Duan Qi finally slowly regained his senses, he coughed a few times, "I don't know how you two found my tripod, what about the fake tripod, where is it?" β
Yes, there is only one tripod on the table at this time.
"The whereabouts of the fake Ding, we have dealt with it for you," Haitang said, "As for how you found your treasure, I will keep this process a secret from you for the time being, all in all, Ding has been recovered, and our work is done." β
Duan Qi's face turned dark when he heard this, but he quickly adjusted again, and asked the two of them with a smile on his face, "Then which thief stole my treasure?" β
"I'm sorry, we still can't tell you the identity of this person for the time being," Begonia said categorically, "but only temporarily, when you pay the day, everything will be revealed." β
"By the way, the reward, what is the reward, what do you want?"
"Don't rush the reward, today is not the time to pay, we will contact you on that day. If the Duan family master has nothing else to do, we will leave. Haitang Feng said lightly, pulled up Xiao Yue next to him and nodded slightly to Duan Qi before leaving Duan Qi's bedroom.
Duan Qi wanted to let the two stay, but he didn't know how to speak for a while, so he could only watch the two walk away, and then his face became gloomy: "What are you guys!" β
"Brother, is that Duan Qi just letting us go?"
Walking out of the gate of Duanfu, Xiao Yue was still a little incredulous.
"He's a smart man," Haitang said, "we just helped him find Qiankun Ding, and he couldn't figure out the details of us for a while, he wanted to keep people, but he didn't dare to act rashly." β
"This is it," the two walked to the City Lord's Mansion, "Duan Li asked us to wait for her here." Xiao Yue said.
The city lord's mansion is quite majestic, the courtyard walls are high on all sides, there are soldiers guarding in front of several gates, looking in from the outside of the gate, it is also a large school field, and then several pavilions are connected.
However, only the courtyard gate of the City Lord's Mansion was open, and the doors of the pavilions inside were all closed, and the soldiers patrolling back and forth on the school grounds were wearing armor and numbered.
"Two, I'm here."
Duan Li's voice came from behind the brother and sister.
Haitang looked at the appearance of the City Lord's Mansion and asked Duan Li, "Why is this City Lord's Mansion like this, and there are too many people patrolling and guarding, right?" β
Duan Li shook her head, but the two people standing in front of her didn't see her shaking her head: "It wasn't like this before, this is since my father moved here, except for the second uncle, outsiders can't enter at all," she said a little bitterly, "I can't get in either." β
"That's kind of interesting." Begonia's eyes narrowed.
"I heard that you have already helped the second uncle find his baby?" Duan Li was more curious about this matter.
"Yes, I found it," Haitang said, and suppressed his voice on "finding", "Let's not mention these things first, we are ready to leave Panyu," Haitang paused, considered the wording, and then said, "We have promised to help you, but I will tell you first, your father's current situation must be very bad, but we don't have any evidence, and we have too few clues." Duan Qi has too many secrets, and now Duan Qi definitely doesn't want our brothers and sisters to stay in Panyu for too long, so we have to leave Panyu for a while. β
"Where are you going?" Duan Li asked almost subconsciously.
"We'll go back where we came from," Xiao Yue said, "Next, I will rely on my brother and I to find out about your father's affairs, I'm afraid it's enough, let's go back and find some help." β
Duan Li's lips moved, as if she wanted to say something.
"What do you think?" Seeing this, Begonia asked.
"I," Duan Li hesitated, "can I go with you?" β
"I'm afraid this is inappropriate," Xiao Yue said, "In case of fighting-"
"It's okay," Haitang interrupted Xiao Yue, "if you really want to follow."
It's okay, but I want to ask you a question first, we don't know each other well, why would you want to come with us? β
"I, my mother left early, in the Duan family, I have no relatives other than my father," Duan Li was stunned when she heard Xiaoyue's words, and then said after hearing Haitang's words, "Although we are both surnamed Duan, there is no family affection between us, and even the subordinates are one in front of each other." Living in that environment was already an ordeal, and I have only persevered until now because of my father...... You can help the second uncle find his treasure in such a short time, I believe that you must have a way to help my father, so instead of staying in the Duan family, it is better to follow you. β
Looking at the sad look on the face of the girl in front of her that did not match this age, Haitang sighed: "Then you can follow." β
Haitang asked Xiaoyue and Duan Li to wait for him at the city gate, he first went to find a coachman, but the coachman refused to leave when he saw that there was no guard, and in desperation, Haitang had to spend a lot of money to buy three horses, and then led the horses to the city gate, because the city was no longer closed, so in addition to the speed was very slow, it was not a problem to go out of the city, and the soldiers guarding the city were a little surprised to see the city lord's daughter also going out of the city, but they did not stop - they had no reason to stop it.
went out of the city smoothly, but Duan Li was a little stunned.
"What's wrong," Xiao Yue skillfully turned on her horse and asked Duan Li,
"Can't ride a horse?"
Duan Li shook her head: "No, I mean, let's just go?" β
"Worried about bandits?" Xiao Yue reacted immediately, "It's okay, there are two of us to protect you." β
"But ......" Duan Li wanted to say something.
"It's okay, that's how we came when we came, and a few bandits can't stop us." Begonia also said.
Duan Li sighed and got on the horse resignedly.
A certain mountainous area.
"Boss, do you want to do it?"
The bandits, who had been in ambush for some time, were alone on the other side, riding a horse and looking like he had a sword at his waist from a distance.
The reason why the bandits didn't do anything to the man was that the man looked like a scout scout, and they were going to wait for the other party's large army to arrive before making a move - but this company waited for so long, and the scouts they sent out to find the opponent's large army did not find any team at all, it seemed that they had made a fuss, and the person who seemed to be a scout was just on his way alone?
"The fucking guy is still so arrogant, wasting so much time," the led thief scolded, "Fuck guy, get that guy here!" β
Hearing this, the surrounding bandits no longer hiding, but appeared and howled and ran towards the man.
The sky has darkened, Duan Li is a big lady after all, and she is very tired from following the Begonia brothers and sisters on horseback for most of the day, and Begonia also decided to rest here today and wait until tomorrow.
Duan Li sat on the edge of the campfire, watching Begonia and Xiaoyue pick up firewood nearby, and sprinkle something like realgar powder around.
She was a little overwhelmed, not knowing whether it was wrong or right for her to follow Begonia and them to leave Panyu on the spur of the moment.
"People, when you are free, you will think crankily." Xiao Yue saw Duan Li's tangled look and quipped.
When Duan Li heard this, her face flushed slightly.
After Haitang and Xiaoyue walked to the campfire and sat down, Duan Li asked, "I'm still curious how you found something that the second uncle couldn't find for months." β
Haitang and Xiaoyue glanced at each other and smiled: "Originally, we didn't plan to tell you these things now, but you are now following us to Hangzhou, so it doesn't hurt to tell you now." β
"Actually, although your previous speculation is not reasonable, it has something to do with the truth - there are no thieves at all, and Duan Qi has nothing to steal at all."
"What?!" Duan Li was taken aback.
"Please forgive me for selling the specific things first," Haitang said, "I now have a conjecture about your father and your second uncle. Originally, this was just a somewhat bold idea of mine, but now that we have figured out what Duan Qi's baby is all about, I am afraid that my idea is correct nine times out of ten. β
"What thoughts?" Duan Li hurriedly asked.
Haitang's eyes became serious when he looked at Duan Li: "If my guess is correct," he said slowly, "I'm afraid your father has been completely controlled by Duan Qi, and it may even be worse." β
Before Duan Li could react, with a flurry of footsteps, a crooked figure appeared in front of everyone.
ββββββ a loose dividing lineββββββ
It doesn't seem that anyone is watching, but if someone is watching, the brothers and sisters squeak and make some suggestions?
The wonderful part of the story of Qiankun Ding is coming.
