Chapter 320: Face

Qiao Mu stepped into the door and looked at Song Kaiyun with four eyes. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The entire main hall was silent, but it was inexplicably shrouded in a layer of solemnity.

Qiao Mu's eyes glanced slightly, and he found that this main hall was a little different from the last time.

The tables and chairs on both sides were removed and replaced with two screens with graceful dancing girls printed on them.

Opposite him, there was a Taishi chair, and in front of it was a red wooden table with half a cup of tea and a blue and white porcelain vase.

"Did you find something?" Qiao Mu asked.

Song Kaiyun took a sip of the teacup slowly, and said with a smile: "What Mr. wants, I have already asked people to ask for it from Tiansheng Building, and speaking of which, the boss of Tiansheng Building has already booked it to a foreign businessman, and it took a lot of effort for me to get it from him." ”

Qiao Mu looked indifferent and walked towards Song Kaiyun.

"But ......"

When Qiao Mu was only about eight meters away from him, Song Kaiyun's tone changed suddenly, and he was a little colder.

Bang!

A loud bang came from both sides.

The tension on Song Kaiyun's face subsided slightly, and he seemed to be relieved, so he leaned his back on the Taishi chair for a long time, and put his right hand behind the vase.

Qiao Mu stopped, looking at the fallen screen.

The screen fell, revealing a scene behind it, and there were two rows of soldiers.

Qiao Mu took a cursory glance and noticed that there were fifty soldiers in total.

Each soldier grabbed a gun in his hand and pointed the black muzzle at the tree.

There was a slight nervousness in their expressions, but more of an indifferent killing intent.

On the far side of those soldiers, there was a Taoist priest holding a duster.

The Taoist priest looked to be sixty or seventy years old, with white beard and hair, but his face was ruddy, and he was wearing a cyan Taoist robe, which had the smell of fairy wind and bones.

When he saw the arbor pointed at by the muzzle, the old Taoist priest smiled slightly, walked to Song Kaiyun's side, raised his chin slightly, and looked at the arbor with some disdain.

Qiao Mu looked at Song Kaiyun and asked, "What does this mean?" ”

"I just want to have a good talk with my husband." Song Kaiyun said disapprerovingly.

He nodded to the soldier on his left.

The two soldiers put down their guns, moved two chairs from the rear, and put them in the main hall, where Song Kaiyun was headed.

The old Taoist priest sat down with a smile.

Song Kaiyun looked at Qiao Mu, stretched out his hand and said, "Sir, please take a seat." ”

Qiao Mu did not sit down, but looked at Song Kaiyun lightly, with a hint of disdain in his expression.

Song Kaiyun touched his nose, dissatisfied in his heart, in fact, it was a little difficult to ride a tiger.

He rose from the end of the world and has been in control of Ann Phuk Province for six years.

As a powerful warlord leader, he naturally has his arrogance.

Even if he knew that his situation was not secondary, he couldn't stand the threat imposed on him by a "strange man" like Qiao Mu, who had some skills.

This is a serious provocation to your own face!

Therefore, after the last incident, he made two preparations.

On the one hand, he asked people to go to Wansheng Building to find the "Eternal Eye" that Qiao Mu was looking for, and after getting his hands on it, he studied it, but he couldn't find its anomaly; On the other hand, he promised to invite a large amount of money to invite the hermit of Zhongnan Mountain, Shangqing Daoist.

Speaking of this "Shangqing Daoist", his experience is quite legendary.

He only made a name for himself in Dingbei City three years ago.

Legend has it that the boss of Wansheng Lou received a treasure full of evil spirit, so that he was haunted by nightmares, and lost a lot of weight in half a month, and the Taoist of Shangqing claimed to have come down the mountain for that thing, and purified the evil thing, and then was honored as a guest by Wansheng Lou.

Since then, he has gained a firm foothold in the upper circles of Dingbei City.

In the past three years, he has helped many high-ranking officials and nobles solve a lot of troubles, including several senior officers under Song Kaiyun.

Originally, Song Kaiyun didn't have much affection for this money-hungry old Taoist, after all, those strange things had never happened to him, but after seeing Qiao Mu, he realized that there were indeed some extraordinary existences in this world.

At first, he was indeed afraid, but Song Kaiyun was an ordinary person, and at the suggestion of his subordinates, he found the head of the Shangqing Dao, thinking that he had found a way to break the situation.

Even if the plan in his heart was perfect, when he really met Qiao Mu, Song Kaiyun still couldn't suppress the fear in his heart, and even doubted whether his drastic approach was inappropriate.

When he saw the black muzzles of the soldiers around him, he was relieved.

"He definitely doesn't want to fight with me," Song Kaiyun thought, "What's more, with the Shangqing Daoist here, his methods may not be able to be used." ”

The original cowardice subsided instantly, Song Kaiyun straightened his back, and said unhappily: "Why doesn't Mr. sit, don't you give me this face?" ”

"What about the Eternal Eye?" Qiao Mu asked.

Song Kaiyun frowned.

"Xiaoyou, don't you look at the provincial governor in your eyes." The Shangqing Daoist on the side suddenly spoke.

Qiao Mu glanced at him lightly, his gaze lingering on the quaint ring on his wrist for half a second, and a hint of mockery appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Qiao Mu's reaction made Shangqing Dao Chang angry.

He Huo Ran got up, pointed at Qiao Mu and said, "What kind of sect are you, the master of the family?" ”

"Huh." Qiao Mu's gaze seemed to be looking at a pen.

It's a pity that people in this era can't understand the meaning of the word "hehe".

He raised his legs and walked towards Song Kaiyun.

There was a sound of pulling the bolt, and Qiao Mu smelled the strong smell of gunpowder.

"Stop!" Song Kaiyun suddenly spoke.

He reached into his arms with his left hand and pulled out a golden object.

It is the size of a fist, and its surface is composed of a number of small golden snakes entrenched and intertwined, and there is a circular gold plate in the center, on which are engraved three lines of characters, the handwriting is in ancient Tibetan, and few people know it.

Through the gap between those golden snakes, you can see the red crystals inside, shimmering with a mysterious luster.

Qiao Mu's eyes flashed, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Song Kaiyun noticed Qiao Mu's expression, breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said, "I can give it to you, but you have to promise ......."

"Loyal to me from now on!"

Song Kaiyun's tone suddenly changed, and after he finished speaking, he stared at Qiao Mu.

He looked resolute, but there was actually room for maneuver.

If Qiao Mu insists on refusing, then he plans to change the conditions to something else, such as teaching him how to obtain that magical ability, and if it is not convenient, then it is okay to help him kill a few opponents......

In short, Song Kaiyun thought of the steps for Qiao Mu, but he never thought of helping Qiao Mu for nothing, and he even sneered at Qiao Mu's previous "big opportunity".

He doesn't like to give the initiative to someone else!

And the main reason why he thinks so is...... Face.

Face may not be of much use to ordinary people, but as a provincial overseer, Song Kaiyun attaches great importance to it.

If he showed his cowardice in a "strange man" who suddenly appeared and spread it, his prestige would inevitably be greatly bruised, and the impact on himself would be fatal.

However......

"You're thinking too much." Qiao Mu said.

He stretched out his right hand, and the "Eternal Eye" that Song Kaiyun had grasped in the palm of his hand suddenly flew up, crossed a parabola in the air, and landed steadily in Qiao Mu's hand.

This scene made the Shangqing Daoist, who was originally arrogant, tremble violently with his right hand, and his complexion changed greatly.

"Do it!" Song Kaiyun's expression was grim!
