Chapter Twenty-Eight: Be Careful
Zhong Xi jumped into the bathtub and took a bath very enjoyably, and when he came out, Sister Nong was no longer there. There was no trace of charm in the room, Bai Yu was sitting precariously, and when he saw him coming, he shot a knife in the eye.
Zhong Xi only wore an undershirt, the open neckline exposed the delicate collarbone, and the scar from being burned by jute seeds was also looming. He raised his legs and put them on the low stool in front of him, stretched out a finger and stroked the soft and wet black hair in front of his forehead, hooked his lips and smiled evilly, "What, it's not a good woman?" ”
Bai Yu suppressed the anger in his heart, "Be direct, how can you cooperate?" ”
Zhong Xi still maintained that posture, rolling his eyes to look at him, and suddenly, he leaned forward, stared directly at the man with the unchanged face, and blurted out, "Who is Lihua?" ”
Bai Yu frowned, "Where is Xu Changwen?" ”
"You don't like Zhong Yan because it's called Li-e?"
"You don't have the surname Zhao!"
"You really don't like that girl!"
The two spoke very quickly and did not give in to each other. Bai Yu felt that he had been fooled, he pushed Zhong Xi away, got up and left. Zhong Xi took a step after him, raising his leg and kicking on the door frame.
"Yes, get down to business." He raised his hand in surrender, "However, since we are cooperating, we have to communicate with each other." To put your mind at ease, I'll tell you who I am first. ”
Zhong Xi made a gesture of invitation to him, "Sit down and talk?" ”
Bai Yu couldn't believe him, kicked his leg away and was about to leave. Zhong Xi dodged quickly, grabbed his wrist, hooked his neck, and dragged the person back.
Bai Yu was tormented by him and lost his temper, and looked at the octopus on his body helplessly, "You let go first." ”
Zhong Xi exerted his limbs and stuck tighter, "Listen, my master's real name is Zhong Xi, and he is the nephew of the Lord of Heren." Zhong Yan is my sister, a mother's compatriot, and my own sister. How's that, it's frank enough. Okay, now it's your turn. ”
Bai Yu endured his temper, pulled Zhong Gongzi off his body, straightened his clothes a little, and said coldly, "It's better that you still don't know my identity." ”
Zhong Gongzi slapped his thigh, "Trick, right?" ”
Bai Yu looked at him, "Honestly." ”
His face was really sincere, so sincere that Zhong Xi couldn't think of any words to describe the thickness of this face.
"Yes," Zhong Xi decided to change directions, "then as the bandit boss who dominates the side, he always understands firearms, right?" ”
"I don't understand."
“……”
It's a loss! Having said so much, Zhong Xi neither stuffed Zhong Yan to him, nor did he set up the slightest possibility about the production of firearms, he lived for seventeen years, and for the first time in his life, he suffered a loss and had nowhere to vent.
Bai Yu took a step forward, his tall body condescending, "Until now, you haven't said Xu Changwen, isn't this a sign of honest cooperation?" ”
The feeling of being passive made Zhong Xi even more unhappy. He tightened his mouth, swallowed the words of greeting the eighth generation of Baiyu Ancestor, and a smile appeared on his face, "Xu Changwen, he lives on Minglun Street now, and his external identity is a tea merchant." But ......"
"But what?"
Zhong Xi's smile turned sour, and he looked at him evilly, "Where do you live?" ”
"What?"
"I have a garden......
"Don't bother."
"Don't bother, it's just convenient for you and me to communicate, after all, killing people is a hard job. Of course, don't worry, my dad and my sister don't know about this place. ”
Bai Yu sighed, "If Zhong Gongzi has no intention of cooperating, then Bai Mou will leave first." ”
Zhong Xi knew that he would not be obedient, so he decided to be a villain and threaten him.
He rubbed his fingertips and said seemingly unintentionally, "Bai Yu wants to kill Xu Changwen and give someone named Nan...... Whispering revenge, Bai Yu's sweetheart, a man named Pear Painting is still in Xihu, and ......"
He slowly walked around to him and raised his head in defiance, "I guessed that if a woman would suffer greatly because of the destruction of the country, then her identity must be a clan relative." So, your identity ......! He leaned up to his face, "Do you still want to hear it?" ”
Bai Yu didn't expect that just a few words from Shen Ci would allow him to launch his identity, but Bai Yu firmly believed that this rich boy named Zhong Xi would not do such a dirty thing.
Zhong Xi's eyes were fixed on the tip of Bai Yu's tall nose, and the mischievous spirit burst out instantly, he raised his hand and hooked it, "People's hearts are unpredictable, and besides, if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about Shen Gongzi." ”
"What do you mean?"
He raised his hand and grabbed him by the collar, changing his fierce appearance, "I may not be able to beat you, but I can definitely beat that person named Shen Ci." ”
Bai Yu: "......"
The carriage stopped in front of the villa, Zhong Xi led Bai Yu all the way to the guest house, and said as he walked, "I can't hide it, for some reason, I secretly inquired about Xu Changwen." There are a lot of guards around him, and there are even more invisible secret guards. This is not normal for a tea merchant. ”
Bai Yu grasped the point: "For some reason? ”
Zhong Xi was stunned, "Oh, that, it doesn't hurt to tell you." He took two more steps and pushed open the door, "But it's useless to tell you, so let's not talk about it." ”
Bai Yu: "......"
Among the five major clans of Xianyuan, Heren is the only state that does not fortify the other four. These traveling merchants from all over the world have largely driven Heren's internal promotion strength.
In other words, the countries and people in the entire Immortal Source Continent were the richest clans, and it was none other than Heren. However, the drawbacks of such openness were evident in the first few years, and Tsuruhito was full of spies sent by other clans.
After thinking about it, the former Maharaja Zhong Wuregret formulated a "secret envoy" plan - to screen the children of the clan with strong martial arts skills and secretly spy on foreign merchants with suspicious identities.
Zhong Xi is one of them, and his identity is known only to Zhong Kang.
He looked at Bai Yu, who was still skeptical, and said with a smile, "You and I have the same goal, there is no doubt about that. So, you can stay in peace. ”
After the white jade was properly placed, Zhong Xi left. As soon as he walked to the door, he saw Zhong Fei.
The little boy leaned on the car, poked the ground with his toes, looking impatient, and when he saw that the person waiting for finally appeared, he hurriedly stepped forward, "Brother, where am I looking for you?" ”
"A good thing?"
"It's a good thing," he lowered his voice, "but I heard that Sister Yan is going to marry a dead man, is it really fake?" ”
Zhong Xi nodded, raised his feet and got into the car, Zhong Fei followed closely, "Really?!" Really, why aren't you in a hurry? ”
"Is it useful to be in a hurry?" Zhong Xi leaned against the wall of the car, slightly lowered his eyelids and skimmed at him, "Tell me, what are you looking for brother?" ”
Zhong Fei saw that he was not in a hurry, and it was really useless for him to be anxious, so he simply patted his thigh and brought out the excitement just now, "High-grade aging, just two pots." Asking grandpa to tell grandma that there is no use in the relationship fart, then the boss of the day has a tendon, so I have to bid for the price, but it took me three months to grab a pot, just waiting for a drunk with my brother to rest. ”
However, Tianzi No. 1 on Suzaku Street is the most famous restaurant in Kyoto, from the old man to the children, everyone knows it, and no one knows it.
There are five floors in the building, and the higher you go, the fewer private rooms, the more luxurious the decoration, and the more noble the identity of the person who comes. The top one is the private office of the restaurant owner, who can be invited here, whose property can be doubled in an instant, and the money is overflowing.
Zhong Fei has no private property in his hands, and he dreams that he will be able to enter the magic eye of the owner one day, so he invites himself to sit upstairs and sit down, so as to fulfill his dream of making a fortune with empty gloves and white wolves.
The two brothers stood still in front of the restaurant, and Zhong Fei swaggered to Wu Kuang, the shopkeeper behind the counter, and said, "Third floor, Zhao Ying." ”
He also followed his cousin's example and gave himself a nickname.
Wu Kuang looked at him and said with a smile, "Third floor, Hero Gate, please come here." ”
Zhong Fei raised his feet and left, Zhong Xi walked to the counter and said to Wu Kuang, "Just two pots?" Lao Wu, Lao Wu, you 'hunger marketing' is really fooled. ”
Wu Kuang propped his elbows on the counter, looked at him with interest, but opened his mouth and shouted at the guy, "Yongshun'er, take this guest upstairs." ”
There are many people in the restaurant, and there is a lot of chaos everywhere. Zhong Xi looked at the narrow couch, listened to the sound of fists next door, and touched his eyebrows lightly with his fingertips, very impatient.
Zhong Fei scratched his head embarrassedly, and paved the couch for him very doggedly, "At the end of the month, I was shy and grabbed a pot of good wine, and the rest of the money was enough to book a three-story private room in Naihetian." Brother, bear with me, and experience the fireworks in the world. ”
Zhong Xi turned around and walked out of the next door and said, "Go up to the fifth floor, I'll invite you this time." ”
Zhong Fei had only been to the fourth floor, and when he heard that his brother was going to invite him to the fifth floor, his eyes suddenly opened up. He took a kick, but before he could step on the corner of the fourth floor, his brother covered his mouth.
Zhong Xi's cover was both sudden and vigorous, making Zhong Fei's eyes roll over.
The unscrupulous voice in the compartment came, and Zhong Xi's expression gradually became solemn.
"Did you hear that? The Haiyan Guild is about to change its president. ”
"What's the trouble, now the president is Lord Zhong Zezhong, the younger brother of the Great Monarch, that means it can be changed?"
"Sooner or later, wait and see," the man lowered his voice, "Heren is about to change." ”
"Isn't the successor of the president chosen from within the clan? Who? Who has that power? ”
The man squeezed two words out of his throat, "Wei Jing." ”
The Haiyan Guild is related to the lifeblood of Heren, and the candidate for the president has always been a close relative and confidant personally selected by the Maharaja of Heren. Hearing this, Zhong Fei glanced at his brother uneasily.
Zhong Xi returned to the cubicle and sat cross-legged on the narrow couch, contemplating. Wei Jing is just a governor, he actually dares to challenge the lifeline of Heren, what forces are hidden behind him!
"Brother, kill him?" Zhong Fei took a step forward and half-knelt beside his brother.
Zhong Xi shook his head, "A few years ago, the southwest reef was flooded, and it was Wei Jing's 'land reclamation' that saved the people here from great disasters. For the Maharaja, Wei Jing is irreplaceable. He cannot be touched without conclusive evidence. ”
"What then?" Zhong Fei was a little anxious, "Do you have to wait for him to make any movement before making a move?" ”
Zhong Xi once again focused on Wei Jing, he really couldn't figure out where the confidence of Wei Jing, who had always been honest, came from.
Suddenly, he paused, looked at Zhong Fei, and asked, "Do you want pocket money?" ”
Zhong Fei nodded violently, "Yes!" ”
"Help my brother do something, after the matter is completed, your pocket money, my brother will cover it all."
Zhong Fei's excited eyes lit up, "What's the matter, brother, you say." ”
At present, the only thing that can put pressure on the Heren clan is the bottom of the firearm in the hands of the Jinshan people, and Wei Jing's actions made Zhong Xi very suspicious that he and the Jinshan people had secretly reached a hookup.
"Spy on the Jinshan people, you do it yourself."
"Okay."
"The stakes are too high to be discovered."
"Yes."
Zhong Xi thought for a while, and then said, "The one under your hand, the one who beat you to a bruised nose and swollen face, where is it now?" ”
was suddenly exposed, Zhong Fei was very unhappy, "One, the nose and face are swollen, it was hit, not hit." Two, I was already able to beat him. Three ......"
Zhong Fei bent his index finger and put it in his mouth, and after a reluctant whistle, a handsome young man in a strong suit appeared in the compartment.
"Hua Ling, my brother is looking for you."
Hua Ling bowed his head slightly and said to Zhong Xi, "Childe commands." ”
Zhong Xi remembered the slaughter he felt in Xu's house that day, so he said to Hua Ling, "You go to monitor Xu Changwen and find out why he came to Heren." ”
"Yes."
"In the next few days, there will be a person who wants to assassinate Xu Changwen, you can make a judgment based on the situation at that time, I just need you to guarantee the safety of that person."
"Yes."
"In addition, there are many bright and dark masters around Xu Changwen, you should be careful."
"Yes."
Hua Ling opened the door of the cubicle and dodged out.
