Looking at my expression, Emperor Tong raised his eyebrows slightly, but there was a look of understanding in his eyes.

He didn't ask, just leaned forward slightly, put his hand on his cheek, looked at me with playful eyes, and then said in a slightly exaggerated tone: "It's really hard to imagine, Nie Yan doesn't have the sword in his hand, I am beginning to be curious, what happened to Nie Yan at the last moment?" ”

I have to say that Emperor Tong's expression and posture are fully worthy of the idiom of elegance.

It is much more difficult for a man to reach this state than for a woman.

But my heart was knocked very empty by his words, and it was very uncomfortable that I couldn't describe this feeling, and I didn't have the heart to appreciate his so-called elegance.

However, Emperor Tong didn't want to get entangled on this topic, and in a blink of an eye, he had already returned to his normal sitting posture, and his fingers lightly tapped on the table and said: "This kind of problem is your own problem, and there is no need to talk about it in my place." Now that we're here, let's hurry up and get down to business. ”

His attitude changed fast enough.

I could only forcibly suppress the strange feeling in my heart, and when I wanted to get down to business, my expression naturally became solemn.

Emperor Tong sneered again and said, "Ye Shao, of course, you don't have to be too nervous. I came here early in the morning, and I guess I didn't have breakfast, so why don't you talk to me while eating? ”

Got to breakfast again? I think that the man in front of me, if I didn't know his identity and ability, I must think that he is simply a 'neurotic' artist, more 'neurotic' than a woman!

But I couldn't refuse, another subordinate from the mouth of the Tong Emperor appeared at the door, pushing a very Western-style cart with some things on it.

Emperor Tong waited with a relaxed expression, and hummed a little tune in his mouth, but I looked at this completely out of tune with a deep sense of surprise, and then watched a plate of steak of large portions being placed on the table in front of me, and a glass of red wine as bright as blood was poured.

The Tong Emperor over there seemed to be very accustomed to this qiē, and he had gently shaken the red wine glass, sniffed it a few times, and took a sip, with an elegant posture.

"This wine is already awakened, a very special kind of red wine, with a light rose aroma. But it is shallow, but whether it is put on the chest or sniffed lightly on the nose, this aroma lingers, and the aftertaste has a mysterious sweet fragrance, with the faint aftertaste of flesh and blood in this medium-rare steak, the most integrated can't. ”

Emperor Tong seemed to be idle and told me a bunch of nonsense.

As he spoke, he cut the steak again, and there was pink tender meat inside, he squinted at it, then nodded slightly, and said, "Well, this chef is good at frying." Many people think that five- or six-medium rare steak is bloodshot and think that those guys in the West love to eat such things. Actually, no, a really good tender steak should be like this, after cutting, the pink color. ”

While speaking, Emperor Tong gave a piece of steak to his mouth, chewed it a few times, and took another sip of red wine.

The movements are neat and have always maintained a certain elegance.

But he said that I didn't understand these at all, my patience had reached the limit, I picked up the glass of red wine in front of me, poured half of it into it, and then cut a large piece of steak and stuffed it into my mouth, under the helpless shaking of the Tong Emperor, I said directly: "I brought the artist's news." ”

"Tyrannical creatures." Emperor Tong didn't seem to be interested, but instead lamented that I had ruined his so-called steak and red wine.

I didn't bother to pay attention to him, and another large piece of steak was stuffed directly into my mouth, and I took another sip of red wine, and the glass was empty.

The subordinate standing next to me quickly poured me another glass, and I continued: "You know the news of the artist, right? I won't go into too much detail, I'm sure you have that silhouette too, right? But did you find it? ”

The Tong Emperor continued to eat his steak with his head bowed, he was almost like a prince compared to my recklessness, he took a sip of red wine, and said, "People like me and you, even if they don't fight, must maintain a certain good habit, like practicing every day. It is normal to eat high-energy beef for breakfast, so it is not enough to compete with the speed of the body's consumption, Chinese herbal medicine, it is a magical thing, but it can give people a huge supplement, and sometimes a little medicinal diet is also necessary. ”

He didn't answer me at all, and I talked to him like chickens and ducks.

However, I don't mind that I didn't have time to eat breakfast, but I drank my own bowl of 'deluxe breakfast', which I didn't taste at all, and I didn't taste the rose-scented red wine, but the steak was really good, full of gravy in the mouth, and very delicate and smooth, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as melt-in-the-mouth.

It's delicious! Even if you can't negotiate, wouldn't it be good to eat a meal from the Tong Emperor?

I don't know why, I don't have the kind of awareness that the Tong Emperor is my 'life-saving benefactor', but I feel that I should get along with him like this.

So, I still had a big piece of steak in my mouth, and I didn't care what he said, and continued, "I'm going to work with you." I want a piece of information about the so-called underground space city that you once said. You have to solemnly use the highest level of Taoist oaths, and you must say everything you do. ”

When he finished saying this, Emperor Tong's hand holding the cup shook a little, and the red wine in the cup rippled in a circle, his expression was still calm, but the suppressed anger in his eyes was already obvious, he did not rush to express anything, but took another sip of the red wine in the glass.

I ignored him and concentrated on the huge steak in front of me.

Emperor Tong said: "Ye Zhengling, you said on the phone that you have the most accurate news about the Hundred Demons of the Mountains and Seas, and just now you also mentioned important clues I have for you, but you have maintained 100% full trust, so you flew back in a hurry." ”

As he spoke, he put down the wine glass in his hand.

It seemed to be a gentle movement, but the fine crystal wine glass cracked like this, and finally it couldn't support it, and the bright red liquid in the broken cup flowed on the table, leaving light red marks on the white robe of the Tong Emperor.

The subordinates who were standing beside us and waiting hurriedly began to clean up, but Emperor Tong didn't seem to care, just stared at me tightly.

"I thought you were trying to work with me to find that artist, but now, are you sure you're not here to provoke me?" I can actually feel the anger of the Tong Emperor.

After all, I had judged that the dungeon matter might be a thorn in his heart.

I swallowed the steak in my mouth, but in the face of Emperor Tong's angry gaze, I refused to flinch at all, and said directly: "My conditions will not change, I have already put it forward just now." I, on the other hand, have found the artist. ”

For no reason, Emperor Tong stood up suddenly, made a silent gesture to me, and with a wave of his hand, the subordinate beside him had already retreated quickly, and he didn't even bother to clean up the table.

I picked up the napkin on the table, wiped my mouth very casually, looked at Emperor Tong, and said, "What, it aroused your interest?" ”

"Can you be sure of the message?" Emperor Tong didn't answer me directly, and the way he cared was already explained.

"In the name of the Huo Nie family." I also solemnly said that no matter how casual the conversation just now was, at this point, I must give Emperor Tong a guarantee.

"Will you only reveal this news to my water boy?" At this time, the level of conversation is no longer between me and Emperor Tong, but between two families.

"Naturally, you're the only person to work with." I replied very simply.

"That's the one you just had?" Emperor Tong narrowed his eyes, and then said, "You are really good at picking, you want to tear my wounds bloody open." ”

"No way, my important people have fallen into it." For this, I have nothing to hide from Emperor Tong.

"Okay, then deal." Emperor Tong was silent for a while, and he refused to give up this important news in the end, after all, finding the artist was equivalent to finding that mysterious sealed place.

"No, wait, there's a little string attached." I said it seriously.

"I hope you don't touch my bottom line again and again." Emperor Tong's eyes became a little cold.

"Of course not! Remember, this time it's cooperation, not me selling you news, so the conditions I mentioned before are just the premise for us to be able to cooperate. And what collaboration is, you know, is that we have to work together to catch that artist, no matter what 'pry' comes out of his mouth, the resources are shared. "After all, with less constraints, this is the best way I can choose.

After speaking, I looked at Emperor Tong and felt a little nervous, from another point of view, I could indeed be regarded as using him, right?

It's just a matter of mutual benefit.

Emperor Tong's fingers unconsciously stroked his lips, looked at me and said seriously: "Ye Zhengling, one thing you must be clear about is that there is only one copy of the Hundred Demon Records of Mountains and Seas. And you still have the advantage of that reel last time. ”

He was talking about the scroll hidden in the iron box he had found from the cat demon.

I smiled indifferently and said, "Emperor Tong, don't you have no clues of your own at all?" Moreover, our cooperation is limited to the artist, and the rest, such as the Hundred Demons of Mountains and Seas, let's rely on our skills. ”

Emperor Tong didn't speak, but looked at me uncertainly.

This time, I leaned forward slightly, looked at Emperor Tong and said, "Is there a deal?" ”

"Deal." Emperor Tong's hand gently patted the table.
