Chapter 150: Gift-giving 3
"What's the matter, but what's wrong with the domain lord offending the pavilion master?" Grandma Zhao's voice sounded at the door, and at this time she was holding the freshly prepared meal in her hand.
Grandma Zhao obviously didn't expect to bring dinner with great interest, but she heard Cang Wunian's angry shouts at the door, so frightened that she almost threw the tray out with a shake of her hand.
"Nothing. Cang Wunian said with a sigh of relief.
Grandma Zhao hurriedly walked into the house, put the food in her hand on the table one by one, and chattered while arguing: "Pavilion master, our domain master is still a little younger after all, and it is inevitable that sometimes he is not thoughtful, and what he says is not so appropriate. But the domain lord is kind-hearted, and he treats us subordinates well, if he offends the pavilion master in any way, I hope that the pavilion lord will have a lot of responsibility. ”
"I've already said that, it's fine. Cang Wunian replied lightly, but there was a little impatience hidden in his tone.
"This ......"
"Grandma Zhao, you go down first. It's okay. Seeing that Grandma Zhao seemed to want to say something more, Qing Ci hurriedly glanced at her.
Grandma Zhao hurriedly stopped her mouth, sighed in her heart, and silently withdrew from the room.
After a while, Lian'er walked in again, holding a wine jug and two wine glasses in her hands.
"The master of the Suwen Pavilion has a lot of wine, but the slave and maid don't know what kind of wine the pavilion master likes, so the slave and maid took the initiative and brought the domain master's favorite wine on weekdays. The pavilion master and taste, if you are not satisfied, the slave and maid will change it for you. Lian'er said with a smile on her face and a respectful tone.
Hearing this, Cang Wunian waved his hand: "It's okay, since it is the domain master's favorite, it must be a good thing." Just leave it at that. ”
Lian'er was slightly stunned, she just met Grandma Zhao outside, listening to the meaning of Grandma Zhao's words, it seemed that this new pavilion master did not treat his own domain master very well. But at this time, looking at Cang Wunian's attitude, it doesn't seem like he doesn't want to see it.
However, Lian'er also understood that the matter between the masters was not something that they could get involved with, so she quickly filled the wine glass, put it in front of the two, and bowed respectfully out of the room.
"Wouldn't you like to introduce me?" Cang Wunian picked up the wine glass in front of him and asked with a little playfulness.
"This ...... This wine should not need to be introduced, and the pavilion master is afraid that he will know it as soon as he drinks it. Qing Ci smiled a little awkwardly.
"Oh?" Cang Wunian raised his eyebrows under his mask slightly, put the wine glass containing the wine in front of his nose and sniffed it, and a smell of wine with the tranquility of spring water came to his nose.
"Yuquan Brew?" Cang Wunian was a little surprised, but then said, "It doesn't seem to be exactly Yuquan Brew." ”
"The pavilion master is really powerful, and he sniffed it out with a light sniff. Qing Ci slapped his thigh and exclaimed. Then he explained: "This wine is indeed Yuquan Brew, and this is the authentic Yuquan Brew." Nowadays, all the products sold in the market are missing the recipe, so Yuquan Brew has always been a second-rate wine in Wansang Kingdom. ”
"Since the recipe for the Yuquan brew is missing, how did you get this authentic Yuquan brew?" Cang Wunian glanced at him and asked in a light tone.
"Hehe, don't hide it from the pavilion master, my ancestors have some relationship with the founder of this Yuquan Brew, so they have always kept the brewing recipe of this wine. The pot we drink today was left by my great-grandfather, and it is now 100 years old, and it is truly a 100-year old wine. Qing Ci said with a smile.
Cang Wunian didn't speak, the scholar in front of him looked weak and deceitful, but there were a few fuel-efficient lamps that could make a name for themselves in the Thousand Machines Pavilion. This young man is simply a natural actor, lies come to him, as long as he is willing, anything that is not in the sky can be convinced by his vivid interpretation.
Sensing Cang Wunian's suspicions, Qing Ci touched his nose and smiled a little embarrassedly: "Hey, I know the pavilion master doesn't believe it, but these are all told to me by my father, after all, I wasn't born a hundred years ago! Come on, come on, eat the vegetables!"
Glancing at the dishes on the table, they were all the ones he usually eats on weekdays. It seems that this Qing Ci has done a lot of homework behind his back, but it's a pity that these dishes are actually An Ruyue's favorite food, after all, he has long lost his soul, and he doesn't have any special preferences for the food in these worlds.
During the banquet, Qing Ci gave full play to his ability to talk like a river, from astronomy to geography, like the water of the Yellow River. Cang Wunian just listened absentmindedly, eating the food on the table slowly, and occasionally heard something that he was a little interested in, so he would ask.
In this way, the two of them did not look bored after eating this meal for more than half an hour. At least that's what Qing Ci thinks.
After being full of wine and food, Cang Wunian suddenly felt that he was a little bored, he still had a lot of things to explain, and he was lost for a while, and he wasted so much time accompanying this young man to his mansion.
"If there is nothing to do, I will go first. Cang Wunian got up and greeted Qing Ci, who was patting his belly and burping.
"Oh, look at my memory!" Qing Ci jumped up from his chair with a spirit, "Pavilion Master, wait a minute, my subordinates will go and present the gifts." ”
After speaking, Qing Ci left the room with a cigarette, as if it was someone else who was stretched out to be unable to walk.
About a cup of tea later, just when Cang Wunian's patience was about to run out, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and there was more than one person listening to the sound.
"Pavilion Master, this is the gift that your subordinates have brought you. Qing Ci's voice appeared in front of Cang Wunian's eyes with his figure, and at the same time, there were two people behind him, a man and a woman, both dressed in black, but they looked a little embarrassed.
Somewhat unexpectedly, these two people were the two siblings Hei Kui and Hei Yao, who had escaped earlier and were ordered by Cang Wunian to launch the Flowing Firefly Order to track down to the end.
The moment he saw the two brothers and sisters, the stunned in Cang Wunian's eyes flashed, and then he turned his gaze coldly to Qing Ci: "You intercepted and terminated the Liuying Order?"
Qing Ci scratched his head innocently: "No, my subordinates just received news that the Liuying Order had reacted within the Heavenly Retreat Realm, and it must have been found that the traces of the left and right protectors of the Dharma had been discovered, so the subordinates rushed over overnight and brought them back." ”
Cang Wunian narrowed his eyes, and his tone was a little cold: "The Heavenly Retreat Domain is separated by tens of thousands of miles from the Thousand Machine Mountain Villa, with your mana that is only at the middle level of the D level, how can you go back and forth in half a day?"
"Hehe...... Qing Ci smiled awkwardly, his eyes rolled and replied cautiously: "This ...... If I say this, can the Pavilion Master not punish me?"
"It depends on whether you're telling the truth or not. Cang Wunian snorted coldly.
"It must be the truth, the subordinates promise, every sentence must be true, if there is a lie, the sky will hit five thunders!" Qing Ci raised his right hand, pointed to the sky with three fingers, and said with an oath.
"Then let's talk about it. Cang Wunian stared at his face and said lightly.
"Actually...... I was hiding something, I didn't ...... Didn't expose his mana too much. Mainly, the main thing is that there are many capable people in the Thousand Machine Pavilion, and if I expose my mana, I'm afraid that the upper authorities will arrange more and more difficult tasks for me. If I can't finish it, or if I don't do it as well as anyone else, how long will it take to get out of the mix? So I just pretend that I only know the surface, so that when I complete some tasks that they think are impossible for me, the master will look at me differently. Qing Ci rubbed the corners of his clothes and smiled cautiously.
What he said was reasonable. Hiding strength, making a splash without others knowing, can indeed quickly attract attention and be taken seriously. But if it's just like this, I'm afraid it's not enough to make him be so highly valued, but for other reasons, looking at Qing Ci's appearance, he obviously doesn't intend to admit it to him.
This scholar has a lot of secrets, and Cang Wunian knows it. But the days are long, and he is not in a hurry at this time. He approaches his purpose, and his true identity, and sooner or later there will be a day when it will be revealed. And for now......
Cang Wunian glanced at Qing Ci lightly, did not speak again, but instead cast a seemingly calm but chilling gaze at Hei Kui and Hei Yao.
The two brothers and sisters ran all the way, and they were almost exhausted when they were caught by Qing Ci. At this time, under the pressure of the chill around Cang Wunian's body and the terrifying eyes, if it weren't for the fact that the two of them still had a bit of hard bones, I am afraid that they would have to kneel on the ground as soon as their legs were weak.
"It seems that you have nothing to say. Cang Wunian said coldly.
"The young master forgives his sins, and his subordinates ......"
Seeing this, Hei Kui hurriedly pulled Hei Yao to kneel on one knee, but before he finished speaking, Qing Ci coughed lightly on the side and reminded: "Ahem, Pavilion Master, it's Pavilion Master." ”
Being reminded by Qing Ci, Hei Kui's face suddenly stiffened, and he had to bite the bullet and say, "Please forgive the pavilion master and give my brother and sister another chance." ”
"Forgiveness?" the corners of Cang Wunian's mouth raised a shallow arc, "What are you guilty of?"
"Subordinate...... Your subordinates shouldn't report your every move over the years to Zhuang ...... all reported to Gu Wentian. Hei Kui said in a deep voice.
"You two were originally his subordinates, if you don't report my every move to him, then what does Qianji Pavilion want you to do?" Cang Wunian asked lightly.
"The Pavilion Master has taught me a lesson. Hei Kui lowered his head, unsure of Cang Wunian's intention of saying this.
"Looking at Zuo Protector's expression, it seems that he has a different idea?" Cang Wunian stared with interest at Hei Yao, who had pursed his lips and lowered his head since he entered the door.
"Pavilion Master, subordinates are guilty, everything is Hei Yao's fault, please don't embarrass my brother!" Seeing Cang Wunian's eyes that seemed to be able to see everything, Hei Yao clenched his fists and pleaded.
"Everything, it seems that there are still a lot of things I don't know?" the corners of Cang Wunian's mouth raised a hint of ridicule.
