Chapter Twenty-Nine: That's Right
Xiao Qi nodded ignorantly, and didn't pay any more attention.
Most of the housekeepers in these mansions have a pair of skills that they can never forget, and the "nobles" can forget things, but they can't forget.
It's normal that the housekeeper of the first mansion will remember who she is - she is not as simple as Feng Yan, and she has seen more people outside, so naturally many people will recognize her.
Entering the room of Tianyu Yingyu, Xiao Qi sat down, she looked at the three thousand years old and Huai Qing in front of her coldly, "What kind of rumor is it, can you say it now?" β
Michitose raised his paw, "Order first." β
"The beauty of thought!" Xiao Qi got up and blocked the sight of the three thousand years old looking at the name of the dish on the wall, "You say it first!" β
"Oh, I'll talk while I'm eating." Three thousand years old jumped on the table, "I'm more than three hundred years old, and I'm going to lie to you a teenage girl?" β
Xiao Qi immediately moved his steps and firmly blocked in front of the little fox, "No." β
Huai Qing sat aside and laughed, "I'm also strange, if you are really hungry for three thousand years old, the back kitchen of this Jade Candle Tower can stop you?" Why do you have to call us out? β
"What words!" Three thousand years old turned around abruptly and wrinkled his nose at Huaiqing, "Am I the kind of demon who will steal things to eat?!" β
Huai Qing smiled and relaxed his shoulders.
There was no one else in the huge room, and Xiao Qiping withdrew all the waiters who were originally going to stand here and serve - in this way, three thousand years old could be served in a grand manner.
The three of them sat together, and after a while, the shopkeeper asked about the dishes behind the screen, and the three thousand years old slowly reported a bunch of dish names, each dish had a long taboo, Xiao Qi frowned with disgust when he heard it, and Huai Qing was really a little admired.
"You're not just going to coax me out and cheat me into eating and drinking, are you?" Xiao Qi muttered, "I'll have a long memory next time." β
"It's been closed at home for so long, it's good to come out and get some air." Huai Qing smiled, "But we didn't lie to you, Daizong Mountain was indeed not peaceful during this time. β
"Hmm." Xiao Qi's elbows were on the table, and she looked at Huai Qing with her face propped up, signaling that she was listening.
"First, some time ago, the wild spirits on Daizong Mountain moved, and some people said that it might be that the underground Spirit River was coming up, and at that time, several people in the Cen family escaped from Luoyang overnight and went to Jinling on the pretext of visiting the sick - do you still have an impression of this?"
"A little." Xiao Qi nodded, "But didn't Your Majesty later arrest them all and punish them severely?" And this winter festival, His Majesty also personally went up the mountainβ"
"We've just heard people talking about it in the past few days, saying that Cen Mansion's escape may not just be because of the wild spirits."
"Is that because ......?"
"It should be that there is someone in the mother-in-law's house who has opened her spiritual sense and has been working on an errand in Taohuawei, he said that some time ago, many people had an accident, and many newcomers' spiritual power suddenly failed. I don't know why, I suddenly turned back into an ordinary person, and after I was discovered, I was all fired.
"It's nothing, there are a few people, even worse, performing the task in a good manner, but I don't know what happened, I fell from the sky halfway and fell into a meatloaf, and I couldn't find any problems after the corpse was pulled back - there was Taohuawei who linked this matter with the previous spiritual exhaustion of the rookie monk, so he quietly went to examine the spine of the corpse, cut it open, and found that it was black inside."
Xiao Qi was stunned when he heard this, "...... And such a thing? β
"Yes, some people guess that they may have touched something unclean, and some people guess that it may be a strange disease," Huai Qing replied...... "but now is an eventful time, and if these things get out, I am afraid that the people's will will be more chaotic, so I am not allowed to say it." β
"No wonder the Cen family wants to run ......away," Xiao Qi finally understood, "Who is investigating these things now, I don't seem to have heard the fifth brother talk about it......"
Huai Qing shook his head, "Then I don't know, when Gorou comes back, you can ask him." β
"But the problem is that they won't come back now......" Xiao Qi stood up and paced around the house, "The second brother and the third brother wrote a letter to the house this morning, saying that they might have to stay in the mountains for a long time." β
Xiao Qi fell into deep thought.
It's been really strange lately, including the earthquake a few days ago - she just thought that the people around her were paying attention to the earthquake like a solar and lunar eclipse, and the symbolism that people gave to them was far greater than the natural phenomena themselves, but now that she thinks about it, I'm afraid that the earthquake really said something.
Like, is that really an earthquake?
"I can't ask anything if I stay in Luoyang." Xiao Qi frowned, "If only I could go up the mountain to find Sister A." β
Sanchitose scratched his neck, "You better not go, you can't help if you go." β
Xiao Qi took a deep breath - indeed.
Today, she was able to sneak out of Feng's house, or she relied on her three-thousand-year-old ability, otherwise it was estimated that she would only step out of the house, and a few secret posts that Du Tianshi still left in Feng's house would stop her and ask where she went.
"I'll go back and ask Brother Six." Xiao Qi said softly, "He might be able to hear some clues." β
A table of delicacies was served, Huai Qing and three thousand years old were feasting at the table, but Xiao Qi had no appetite.
She stood alone at the window, overlooking the winter noon of Luoyang City.
White smoke billows from every house, the snow-covered roofs occasionally reveal blue-gray tiled eaves, and the red lanterns hanging high in the streets and alleys are a peaceful scene.
The carriage and pedestrians were slowly moving down the street below the Jade Candle Tower, and Xiao Qi suddenly had many sighs in his heart.
What a good Luoyang.
If she was also a monk at the moment, then she would probably be able to resist all dangers like a few brothers and sisters......
Instead of now, at the moment when the mountain rain is coming, sitting on the jade candle tower with two monsters eating and drinking and doing nothing.
Xiao Qi sighed, and suddenly he was in no mood to look at the scenery.
She was about to close the window and sit back in place, when suddenly a figure broke into her eyesβit was Ji Ran on a horse.
Xiao Qi rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and then looked at it carefully.
That's right, that's Ji Ran...... He suddenly appeared on the street corner in front of him, and galloped all the way towards the Jade Candle Tower.
Xiao Qi's whole person suddenly squatted down, only half of his head was exposed, and he stared firmly at the figure below.
"Huh? What's wrong? Huai Qing asked behind him.
"Shh
Xiao Qi's gaze followed Ji Ran from far to near.
Maybe he just happened to be passing by?
After all, the Jade Candle Tower is in a prosperous place, and you have to pass through this road to go to many places......
However, this thought had just risen, and she saw Ji Ran turning over and dismounting under the Jade Candle Tower.
At the door, Xiao Er took the reins of his horse, and then Ji Ran walked up three steps in one step, and quickly disappeared into the main entrance on the first floor.
Xiao Qi only felt a sigh in his heart - he was coming to the Jade Candle Tower!
How many times has this been, it seems that whenever she goes out during this time, she will definitely meet Ji Ran......
Something is wrong, this is very wrong!
