After the two of them finished speaking, Qin Baichuan also spoke: "Ji Junshi, although Qin doesn't know much about meteor hammers and kidnapping horses, he sounds very powerful. Brother Yuan Fei, Brother Zhan Jitao, Brother Zhan, Brother Tang Renjie, Brother Qin, welcome you. ”

Saying that, Qin Baichuan sincerely hugged his fists and bowed to a few of them, if there is still a force in Dasong that can balance the Longevity Palace, then eighty percent is the blood-clothed dragon guard. The four of them returned the salute one after another, and Ji Wuce also smiled: "The meteor hammer is a small trick, and it can't compare to the three fires that Mr. Qin put on the Anyang competition." ”

"Ji Junshi has won the award, come, please inside, let's talk while drinking." Qin Baichuan made a gesture of invitation and walked towards the door of the Baihua Workshop with a few people.

"Qin Fang Master......" followed Qin Baichuan in the spring breeze and whispered.

"What?" Qin Baichuan turned around and asked.

"Since the Qingfeng Academy came back, the big farmer has been waiting in your room, saying that he will see her as soon as you come back." The spring breeze said bitterly: "There were too many people outside just now, I didn't have a chance to tell you, you see ......"

"Well, I forgot about it......" Qin Baichuan rubbed his temples, a little embarrassed. If Ding Sanshi was really a friend like Chu Xuan, it didn't matter, he would immediately rush to the big village owner, but the five of them obviously came to help, and if Qin Baichuan threw them aside, he would be a little bit of a suspicion of not paying enough attention to them.

"Brother Qin, since the owner of the big village has something to order, then you will go." Ding Sanshi said with a smile: "Anyway, since we defected to you this time, we didn't think about leaving easily, if there is anything we have to say, it's not too late for us to talk about it later." ”

Qin Baichuan hesitated for a moment, and when he was in a dilemma, he suddenly heard Qu Xi's cold voice at the door: "No need, there are friends from afar, and the owner of Qin Fang should accompany him." ”

"Big Owner!" Seeing the owner of the big village come out, in the spring breeze and many family members hurriedly saluted, Qu Xi nodded at them slightly, Qu Xi's eyes swept, and the eyes of the four guys who had never seen Qu Xi suddenly flashed a stunning color, and under the leadership of Ding Sanshi, they hugged their fists.

"How many of them are friends of the owner of Qin?" Qu Xi took Luo Kite and Yu Qingwu to stand at the door and asked softly.

"Exactly." Ding Sanshi took the lead in replying: "I have been friends with Brother Qin for many years, and this time I was also invited by him to see if I could stay by his side and help with things." ”

"Splendid Villa and Hundred Flowers Workshop are all employing people, and strong men are useful." Qu Xi pondered a little and said, "You go to the workshop hall first and wait, I will say a few words to the owner of the Qin workshop, and let him go immediately." ”

"Farewell." Ding Sanshi hugged his fists again and entered the workshop under the leadership of the spring breeze, Tan Jiaotou turned around and went to the other side, Qin Baichuan had ordered when he was in the car that he should use resources to find Li Jian's whereabouts, and he took advantage of this time to prepare.

"Master Qin, you come with me." Qu Xi left Luo Yuan and Yu Qingwu at the door, took Qin Baichuan and walked a few steps, and after confirming that they couldn't hear the sound, Qu Xi said with a straight face: "Baichuan, tell me, do you still have something to hide from me?" ”

"No, absolutely not." Qin Baichuan shook his head vigorously and said with a smile: "I talked to the old academician about business in the afternoon, and I was going to open a newspaper in Jiangling, and I definitely didn't hook up with Xue Fox." ”

"You know that's not what I'm talking about." Qu Xi snorted and said, "After returning from the Qianjin Gambling House, there were inexplicably more than the first three people of the Tan Sect around you, I was puzzled at the time, but I was fooled by you." But now I feel more and more that something is wrong. ”

"What's wrong?" Qin Baichuan hadn't thought of an excuse to fool his eldest wife, so he could only ask casually.

"Nothing is right. Originally, the monkey was your coachman, and he didn't want to live for you three or five times, why did you send him to the Bliss Sect instead of letting Tan Jiaotou act as a coachman? Could it be that your relationship with Tan Jiaotou is deeper than that with a monkey? Qu Xi's voice was a little hurried: "I got the news a few days ago, your Bliss Army has inexplicably eight more people, while they are training, I also asked the people of the snake group to observe, and their reply to me is that these people are all masters, and the ability to cooperate with each other is very strong, even the snake group is probably not an opponent." ”

"What does this mean?" Qin Baichuan was a little broken, in order not to let Qu Xi get involved, although Qin Baichuan took the snake group token, he only called the fucking shopkeeper, and he didn't give any orders to the others at all. If they had been gathered earlier and sent to other places, Qu Xi would have no one to use even if he wanted to investigate.

"You are literati, they are martial artists, how can you know them? And one acquaintance is eleven? Besides, the ability to cooperate with each other is strong, which means that they not only knew each other before, but also had the experience of going to the battlefield together, you know one, two, three, even if I am strange, I will not doubt it, what do you say now? Qu Xi gritted his teeth and said: "Ding Sanshi, who greeted me just now, and the four people behind him, it seems that they are not ordinary people, where did you make these five friends?" ”

"Baichuan!" Qin Baichuan was about to speak, but Qu Xi suddenly interrupted him: "There are some things that you are willing to tell me, just tell the truth, and if you don't want to tell me, you won't say it, but can you not lie to me?" ”

"Uh......" Qin Baichuan swallowed the lie back to his stomach at once, the eldest wife's trick was too ruthless, telling her the truth, she would inevitably have to worry, lying and deceiving her, Qin Baichuan couldn't bear it.

"If you can't say it, tell me yes or no." Qu Xi asked, "Let me ask you, did you reach any agreement with Cheng Xingyun in the Qianjin Gambling House?" Tan Sect leader was he sent to spy on you? Are the five people I met just now the helpers you hired? ”

"The owner of the big farm...... I don't want to lie. Qin Baichuan shook his head: "I choose not to answer." ”

"If you don't answer, you acquiesce." Qu Xi's eyes flashed with murderous intent: "If Sect Leader Tan is really Cheng Xingyun's person, I will gather the killers of the snake group now and get rid of them as soon as possible!" ”

"Wait!" After the owner of the big village finished speaking, he turned his head and was about to leave, but Qin Baichuan hurriedly stopped her way: "Quxi, can we not make trouble?" ”

"Trouble? You think I'm messing with you? Qu Xi's breathing was a little short: "In the Qianjin Gambling House, my father-in-law didn't know what agreement he made with others, maybe he gave his life to others, and now there are some people of unknown origin around him, who can threaten him from time to time, I act for the safety of Xianggong, you say I'm messing with you?" ”

"I didn't mean that, I didn't mean it, ......I didn't mean it" Although Qu Xi's words were cold, he was full of concern for himself, and Qin Baichuan couldn't get angry even if he was a little angry.

"I understand." Qu Xi clenched his fists: "These people around you have very high kung fu, you are afraid that the people of the snake group are not opponents, and you gave your life in vain." But Baichuan, if you can fight, you have to fight, if you can't fight, you and I, there is still room for choice? If you win, you will be at ease, and if you are defeated, you will be willing! ”

"Qu Xi, don't get excited, don't get excited." The eldest wife had determination in her eyes, Qin Baichuan was happy and annoyed in her heart, happy that after the Qianjin Gambling House, Qu Xi continued to make changes, thinking about the problem is no longer "me", or "Splendid Villa", but "we"; Annoyingly, the shadow of the righteous king was like an insurmountable chasm, blocking him and Qu Xi.

Qin Baichuan shook his head helplessly, King Yi had already taken great tolerance towards him, it didn't matter if he usually acted a little too much, but if the people of the Quxi True Sect Snake Group had a conflict with Tan Jiaotou, regardless of success or failure, I was afraid that King Yi would also take some measures. Before Qin Baichuan was ready, he really didn't want to, and he couldn't see that scene happen, even the slightest possibility couldn't exist.

"If I don't get excited, you can tell me everything honestly." Qu Xi looked at Qin Baichuan seriously: "It's better for two people to figure out a way together than for you to keep it in your heart." ”

"Actually, I really don't have anything to say...... Qin Baichuan's lips moved, and he subconsciously wanted to lie, but seeing that Qu Xi's eyes were clear, the lie still couldn't be said after all, he sighed: "Qu Xi, do you believe me?" ”

Qu Xi was stunned, and said very rationally: "I believe it or not, what do you want to do, you said that it has nothing to do with Xue Fox and others, even if you say that the sky is falling, I don't believe it." ”

"Can we be serious?" Qin Baichuan said with tears and laughter.

"You're not serious." Qu Xi also felt that his words were a little choked, and turned his head and said, "Except for women's affairs, I probably believe in you for the rest." ”

"Just believe me." Qin Baichuan said: "I don't lie to you, the first person in the Tan Sect is not my friend, but they are not my enemies, we are currently in a cooperative relationship." ”

"You are a businessman, what kind of cooperation do you have with the Jianghu people?" Qu Xi frowned, she was obviously not satisfied with this answer: "Besides, you have said many times that you only want to be a businessman in your life and do not want to be involved in any court battles...... But what do you want to do when you form the Bliss Army? ”

"Big wife, I can't answer this question." The eldest wife is like a problem baby, she has many questions when she answers herself, if she continues, I am afraid that she will have more and more questions, and Qin Baichuan will become more and more difficult to answer, he thought of a brilliant idea: "In fact...... There are some things that Lord Lu gave me a secret order, and the stakes are so important that I dare not divulge them privately. If you really want to know, just ask Master Lu. ”

"Really?" Qin Baichuan moved Lu Shigao out, even though Qu Xi didn't believe it, but her heart was somewhat settled, after all, in her consciousness, no matter how big Cheng Xingyun was, was he bigger than a first-class member of the imperial court?

"If it's true or not, you go to Lord Lu, and you'll find out when you ask." Qin Baichuan spread out his palms.

"You won't provoke me, I'll ask Master Lu." Qu Xi's tone softened a little: "I can also believe you for the time being, but there is one thing you have to rely on me." ”

"What's the matter?"

"In addition to Hu Bo and Shopkeeper Cao, you have incorporated ten members of the snake group into the Bliss Army." Qu Xi bit his lip lightly: "With them here, I don't worry." ”

"Can I say no?" Qin Baichuan smiled bitterly, he just didn't want to involve the snake group.

"Yes." Qu Xi's answer was also happy: "If you drive Tan Jiaotou and Ding Sanshi away, then you don't need it, otherwise there will be no room for negotiation in this matter." ”

"Okay, I promise." Qu Xi is also a stubborn person, if she doesn't agree, she may not be able to make trouble, after thinking about it for a while, Qin Baichuan can only nod.

"That's pretty much it." Qu Xi nodded with satisfaction, and said a few more words to Qin Baichuan, and the two of them walked back to the door of the Hundred Flowers Workshop one after the other.

Yu Qingwu had already prepared the carriage, Luo Yuan helped Qu Xi to go up first, and when Qu Xi had not yet sat down, she glanced at Qin Baichuan with resentful eyes, and quickly stuffed him with a note, and then entered the carriage in a panic.

As a personal guard, Yu Qingwu also played the role of a coachman, throwing off the horsewhip, Quxi's carriage started slowly, and when the carriage turned and disappeared from sight, Qin Baichuan slowly unfolded the note handed to him by Luo Yuan.

The note was only two fingers wide, and a line of scribbled small words was written on it with an eyebrow pencil: "Baichuan, do you remember Anyang, remember me?" ”

A line of words, clear at a glance, Qin Baichuan kneaded the note and held it in the palm of his hand, remembering Luo Yuan's complicated gaze before leaving, he couldn't help but sigh heavily. When he came to Dasong, he realized the dream of a modern man with three wives and four concubines, but the more women he had, the more he felt owed in his heart.
