Chapter 70: Destroying the Picture
Seeing that the look on He Peiqi's face became more and more cold, Xu Fengzhi and Ma Qingyuan's hearts had almost sunk to the bottom of the pool in front of them, and they looked at the three of them coldly.
Seeing He Peiqi's posture of not giving up without finding the treasure, He Peiying was very worried, and persuaded He Peiqi to no avail, He Peiying pulled He Peiqi, who was a little hysterical.
The brothers broke out into a serious verbal altercation.
Yi Tianyue was originally in a group with He Peiqi, and he was eager to find out the clues of the treasure with him. But after the search was fruitless, he gradually recognized the reality, and instead worked with He Peiying to persuade He Peiqi, who had fallen into a dead end.
Ho Pei Kai turned a deaf ear to the advice of the two. When the night was high, He Peiqi called up the people who had already rested, and he planned to take advantage of the night to search again. In his opinion, the scene at night on the edge of this pool may be different from that during the day, and he may find something unusual.
Other people have been tossing in vain these days, and they also have some ideas in their hearts, but He Peiqi is the master, and they don't dare to say anything if they have ideas.
He Peiying saw everyone's expressions in his eyes, and he thought that He Peiqi's current performance could be regarded as a madness, so now was the time for him to perform.
Taking advantage of He Peiqi's time again to compare the two treasure maps, He Peiying came to He Peiqi's side unexpectedly, and took advantage of his inattention to snatch the treasure map from He Peiying's hand and threw it into the fire in front of him.
The treasure map was robbed, He Peiqi was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted, picked up the branches on the ground and went to the fire to pick up the treasure map that was already on fire, trying to rescue the treasure map.
Unfortunately, when the branch in his hand touched the treasure map, it was when the treasure map turned to ashes.
He Peiqi couldn't help but shout loudly, "He Peiying! You are crazy. ”
He Peiying expected him to make this move, and raised his hand to stop the branch in He Peiqi's hand before He Peiqi pounced.
There was the sound of Bibi peeling in the fire, and He Peiqi watched as the ashes left behind by the treasure map and the embers of the trees picked up from the barren mountain became one.
He Peiqi turned his head sharply and glared at He Peiying angrily, "Now you are satisfied?" ”
He Peiqi's appearance was too angry, He Peiying was a little weak-hearted, and his voice was no longer as organized and confident as before, so he only explained to He Peiqi in a low voice, "Big brother, I have checked it, I have found it, and I should accept my fate, the treasure must be gone for a long time, don't waste your efforts anymore." ”
Xu Fengzhi and Ma Qingyuan looked at the originally clear and discernible treasure map only turned into a pile of white ash, and they felt a sense of pain. But they subconsciously felt that this feeling of pain would come sooner or later.
He Peiying took advantage of He Peiqi's inattention and threw the other half of the treasure map in his hand into the fire. Indifferent, he couldn't help but let out an exclamation, He Peiqi was even more furious, he pointed at He Peiying's nose and was so angry that he couldn't speak.
He Peiying disagreed, he resisted the blazing gaze of his brother and Yi Tianyue, and said unhurriedly: "If you look for it again, there will be no results, and if you burn it for a hundred, you don't have to worry about it." ”
Seeing that the anger in He Peiqi and Yi Tianyue's eyes had not subsided, He Peiying added: "Anyway, it's not that there is no money." ”
Hearing this, He Peiqi was angry and didn't fight anywhere, "You said it lightly, you have always played games in the world, and you have never bothered about making money, where have you ever experienced the difficulty of making money!" Seeing that there is an opportunity to take the He family to the next level, it is all ruined by you. ”
He Peiying retorted unhurriedly, in short, the meaning is that I haven't found a clue after looking for so long, and there is no result if I continue to look for it, so there is no need to waste my efforts.
The next scene becomes the younger brother who can't teach the elder brother a lesson.
But everyone present understood that the treasure map had been destroyed, and even if He Peiqi didn't give up and didn't have to do anything in vain, they were relieved in their hearts.
He Peiqi still didn't give up, and when the others saw that he had just made a fire, they didn't dare to provoke him in his anger, and followed He Peiqi around the pool all night.
Early in the morning of the second day, He Peiqi saw that there was still no result, and the treasure map had been destroyed, although he was reluctant, he could only lead a group of people to leave.
The treasure hunt is over for the time being.
After arriving in Hezhou City, Yi Tianyue and his entourage bid farewell to the He Peiqi brothers.
From now on, the mountain is high and the road is far away, and each goes to one side.
The He brothers and Yi Tianyue left Hezhou one after another, but Xu Fengzhi did not leave.
Inn, inside the wing. Xu Fengzhi paced around the room anxiously, his heart seemed to be burned by fire, he looked at the person who came, and shouted loudly: "It's been eight days, and I haven't found any news at all, what do I want you to do!"
He happened to pace to the edge of the table and picked up a cup like the man in front of him with his head down.
The man's silence flashed silently, and the wound on his arm from the previous fight with the man in black on the mountain was still faintly painful.
"Stinky Daoist!" Xu Fengzhi couldn't help but curse again.
After returning to the city that day, Xu Fengzhi immediately asked Ma Qingyuan for the antidote to the poison he had suffered. Ma Qingyuan promised at the time, saying that he would send it to him the next day after resting.
Xu Fengzhi went back to wait hopefully, he didn't fall asleep all night of excitement, he had already thought about getting the antidote the next day to avenge the previous poisoning.
Early in the morning of the second day, Xu Fengzhi waited for an extra hour, but not a single hair of Ma Qingyuan appeared. He thought that Ma Qingyuan had repented, and personally led people to Ma Qingyuan's room to search. As a result, the bedding in the room was intact, and the bags were gone.
The old horseman fled silently.
Xu Fengzhi was afraid of poisoning, so he had to send the only two half-dead guards who were later discovered by his conscience to look for him. As a result, the old horseman seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and there was no trace of him.
Xu Fengzhi was angry and afraid, causing the things on the table to suffer, and a bone was swept to the ground by Xu Fengzhi.
The guards knew he was angry, and he didn't want to end up in the same fate as the things on the table. He knew that it was neither persuasion nor right to stop at this time, so he could only pretend that he did not exist and stood aside.
Suddenly, there was a regular knock at the door, and the guards were like a savior.
The guard trotted forward to open the door, and another guard walked in, "Sir." The guards who came later saluted Xu Feng respectfully.
When Xu Fengzhi saw the person coming, he remembered his own job, he stopped venting, and asked in a deep voice, "What do you say over there in Kyoto?" ”
He was originally Jing Zhaoyin, and he came to Hezhou to hunt for treasure under the pretext of secretly investigating the case, but the treasure was not found, and he was poisoned by a body that he didn't know when he would attack.
The guards who came forward stepped forward and handed a letter to Xu Fengzhi with both hands, "There is an accident in Kyoto, and you need to deal with it personally." ”
This is urging him to go back, Xu Fengzhi has the heart to die. When he returned, he had not yet been found to have given him his life; If you don't go back, I'm afraid you'll lose your position.
The treasure is not found, and he can't lose his position, but he doesn't want to die even more.
"Find an excuse to delay it a little longer, and say that now we have reached the crux of the case." Xu Fengpei ordered.
"My lord, this excuse has been used before." The guard replied cautiously.
Used! Xu Fengzhi was very annoyed when he thought about it, it was really a house leak that happened to rain overnight, and the sky was going to kill him.
