Chapter 53: Fu Jiu's Despair
"Qian Dashuai sent someone over to say that there is a banquet to receive us in the evening." Xina said, looking at the gloom on Huo Yuqian's face, she was secretly happy in her heart, Fu Jiu was afraid that he had already gone to reincarnate at this time.
Xina paused, with a reassuring look on her face, "Qian Dashuai also said that he has sent troops to search for Jiu'er's sister, Qian, don't worry too much." ”
Huo Yuqian looked at her, with a hint of inquiry in the depths of his heavy eyes.
Xena came into contact with that look, pretending to be calm, and looked back at him with a steady mind.
After a long time, she smiled dryly: "Huh? What's wrong with me looking at me like that? ”
The right hand inadvertently stroked the fox fur on his shoulder, "Does this fox fur match the cheongsam?" ”
Huo Yuqian retracted his gaze, pursed his lips and nodded.
At the banquet in the evening, Qian Manchu invited the upper class people in Fengcheng to wash his dust.
Huo Yuqian arrived at the scene domineeringly in a military uniform, which instantly attracted the attention of those present.
Huo Yuqian took Xina to Qian Manbao to toast, and next to Qian Manbao stood a man in his early twenties, wearing a black suit, from the similar eyebrows and noses of the two, Huo Yuqian roughly guessed that this was his son, Qian Duoduo.
"Uncle Qian, you're sorry." Huo Yuqian raised a polite smile on his face and raised his glass to him.
Qian Manchu was polite, and the wrinkles on his face smiled deeper, "Whereever, this is what I should do as an elder." ”
"Oh yes, this is my son, a lot of money." Qian was full of money and hammered the money more, "Get to know each other, call brother." ”
The father of this son was like a copy, and his smile was the same treacherous, "Brother Huo." ”
Huo Yuqian looked at him and answered in a low voice, Xina always felt that there was something wrong with the eyes of Qian Duoduo looking at her.
"Virtuous nephew, don't worry too much, my old money will definitely help you find it." Qian Manbao patted Huo Yuqian's shoulder, and the thick and stiff epaulettes were a little awkward.
Hearing this, Qian Duoduo cast his eyes at Huo Yuqian, and said in his heart, he is really envious, the two ladies are delicate beauties, and it is rare in the world to be like him.
Huo Yuqian looked at him, Qian Duoduo didn't know if it was because of his weak heart or what, so he immediately looked away.
"Yo, Lao Zhou!" Qian Manchu greeted Huo Yuqian's followers, Huo Yuqian raised his eyebrows and turned to look over.
A middle-aged man in a tunic was followed by a handsome man, his eyes instantly dimmed, his surname was Zhou, was it not Zhou Xin?
Huo Yuqian had an indifferent smile on his face, and Qian Manchu introduced the two of them, "This is my virtuous nephew, Huo Jun Huo Shao, and this is Zhou Xin, the owner of Heartfelt Wine, and his son Zhou Shuxian." ”
Zhou Xin's temples are white, his face is wrinkled, and he is half a leg into the coffin, but his eyes still have the fierceness of a flying eagle.
With a gloomy expression and some purple lips, Zhou Xin's whole person was in a depressed atmosphere.
Huo Yuqian stretched out his hand to shake his hand, feeling the tightening of his hand, Huo Yuqian's dark eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes stared at Zhou Xin with sharpness.
"Hello, Young Marshal Huo." His voice is also a sense of solemnity.
"Hello, Mr. Zhou." Huo Yuqian's voice was lowered by one degree.
The momentum of the two people clashed, so that the temperature around them seemed to drop.
Qian Duoduo rubbed his arms, he got goosebumps, he swept back and forth on the two of them, and felt that it was better to stay away, so he slipped away quietly.
Qian Manpi smiled and pulled away the hands of the two of them, "Hey, is this a late meeting or something, I can't hold it enough......"
Huo Yuqian withdrew his hand, and the corners of his mouth hooked up, "It's true that we hate to see each other late." ”
Qian Manbao raised his eyebrows, looked at Zhou Xin's expressionless face, and wondered Huo Yuqian's words in his heart.
Isn't there a deal between these two people? That's not good, Heartfelt Liquor is the biggest source of tax payment in Fengcheng, if Huo Yuqian pries Zhou Xin away, his gold and silver treasures will also run away.
Xena looked at Zhou Shuxian and wondered how he came here!
Could it be that the matter of Fu Jiu has really been dealt with?
She looked over with an inquiring gaze, but Zhou Shuxian seemed to be deliberately dodging, and his gaze didn't stop on her for a second.
"Lao Zhou, you see, my nephew's newlywed wife is the daughter of the Fu family, and the Fu family wine." Qian Manbao said deliberately, he knew that the Fu family wine and the heartfelt wine were competitors before, if Huo Yuqian's wife was a member of the Fu family, Zhou Xin probably resisted in his heart.
Hearing this, Zhou Xin's gaze fell sharply on Xina, as if he was looking at things.
There was a chill behind Xena, she looked at Zhou Xin with a dry smile, what's going on? She seemed to feel a ferocity in his eyes?!
The muscles on her face were a little stiff, and she pulled her lips and said, "Hello Uncle Zhou." ”
Zhou Xin retracted his gaze and nodded.
Huo Yuqian always felt a different kind of eyes fall on him, he looked over and saw the man with a feminine face staring at him upright, his eyebrows frowned slightly, and he was very uncomfortable.
The sunlight shone into the cave, and a beam of light hit Fu Jiu's face, and she opened her eyes in a daze.
This is...... On the third day, since the two of them left, an old woman brought water and dry food to herself, and she never ate again, and she was drowsy.
A sound of footsteps sounded, Fu Jiu opened his eyes with great difficulty, and it was Zhou Shuxian who came.
She rolled over with all her might, panting slightly face up.
"Anyway, what's the secret ingredient?" Zhou Shuxian squatted down and said lightly.
"No ......," Fu Jiu said in a weak tone.
Zhou Shuxian's phoenix eyes flashed with a hint of viciousness, and he pulled his lips and smiled: "Then Huo Yuqian is really a man who can make people crazy, no wonder you are willing to make him small." ”
"But you know what? He took Xena to the dinner last night, huh...... It's been two days and two nights since you disappeared, but he can't tell the worry on his face. Zhou Shuxian pretended to be sorry and sighed.
Hearing this, Fu Jiu's heart felt like she had been pricked by a needle, and from Zhou Shuxian's words, she seemed to be able to imagine Huo Yuqian's bleak face, and said lightly: "This is her own doing, and Ben Shuai warned her." ”
Heartache...... Despair, which stretched through her entire heart, hot tears slid down her ears.
She hadn't drunk water all day, and she still had tears to flow.
Zhou Shuxian looked at her like this, and his tone was soft, "Say, what is the secret recipe?" ”
"I ...... How could it be remembered. Fu Jiu looked up at the stone on the top of the cave, his tone desperate.
"Don't delay, as long as you tell me, I'll let you go immediately." Zhou Shuxian's eyebrows furrowed, and his tone was a little impatient.
"You're starving me to death now......"
“…… I won't even remember. Fu Jiu's face was pale, and his weak tone was intermittent before finishing a sentence.
