Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Cat and the Mouse
The person outside the door who told the news heard that he was mourning, and he cried and begged Cao Gongzi to let him go. All good things have been said, and what awaits him is not Cao Qian's pardon order, but a sentence of "five horses split the corpse".
When Cao Qian gave these murderous orders, his eyes did not even blink.
It seems that killing someone can bring him excitement, and he is inexplicably excited, and picking up the woman in front of him is a storm.
After the wind and rain in Wushan, the women on the bed were flushed. Cao Qian stretched his waist and bathed and changed his clothes under the woman's service.
He cultivates the practice of collecting yin and supplementing yang, and for him, women are just tools for him to improve his skills. So he never had mercy on these "tools". In this chaotic world, he is never short of women.
Unlike his side, which enjoys boundless happiness, Mu Fan is crawling on the edge of life and death.
Mu Fan swam into a small lake in the trading house, and he held his breath and carefully climbed ashore. From the back garden to the lake in the middle of the trading house, he was careful along the way, for fear of being discovered by others.
As soon as he climbed ashore, he saw an unexpected scene. Song Changgeng and Qinglan sat in the pavilion on the shore, drinking tea while anxiously waiting for something.
Mu Fan was stunned, he and Sang Er were looking for them, and the two of them stayed here to drink tea. He used his divine sense to probe his surroundings carefully, and found that there was no one else around except for a serving little maid.
He carefully reviewed the whole thing, and came to one conclusion: strange, abnormal.
As the saying goes, if something goes wrong, there must be a demon! Mu Fan couldn't figure it out, which meant that he had failed to see through the enemy's deployment. Although Mu Cai has taught him a lot, the key to this ability depends on understanding. Mu Fan's comprehension is okay, but his experience is seriously lacking.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and he planned to dive into the water again. At this time, two people suddenly walked in outside the pavilion, Mu Fan rubbed his eyes vigorously, and one of them turned out to be Sang'er. The other is a middle-aged man, full of maturity. The two talked and laughed, and they seemed to be very compatible.
He was completely confused, what the hell was going on?
Before he could unravel his confusion, he heard the middle-aged man say, "Why didn't this little friend show up? ”
Mu Fan suppressed the doubts in his heart, and now that he has been discovered, he can only come out hard.
His clothes were soaked, and his hair was muddy and watery. He didn't care about other people's eyes, and took out a handkerchief from his sleeve to himself. When he got it, he found that the handkerchief was wet, but he couldn't take the dry handkerchief out of the ring.
Mu Fan smiled secretly, and the green snake robe seemed to have spirituality. Sometimes it automatically absorbs sweat, and sometimes it doesn't even absorb muddy water.
Sang Er saw Mu Fan's embarrassed look and said with a smile: "Why do you still want to sneak into the trading house, Brother Cao is a good person." ”
As soon as Mu Fan heard Sang'er's words, he immediately knew that something was wrong. She must not have seen the letter on the table, so she would have thought that this person surnamed Cao was a good person.
Mu Fan put a lot of effort into writing this letter. He deliberately set up a lot of anomalies. As long as San'er reads it, he will definitely find something unusual.
In his letter, he invited her to the Merchant Firm, and said that there was no danger in the Merchant House. But in the letter, he mentioned three times that he owed her two lives.
Mu Fan took this way, even if the people in the trading house found the letter, they would not find the strangeness of the letter. Their purpose was to lure Mu Fan and the others to the Kelai Trading House, and this letter was exactly what they wanted.
Mu Fan didn't dare to tear through Cao Qian's hypocritical mask, he stubbornly said: "Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, because it is not good to die carelessly." ”
Cao Qianwen smiled gently: "When you come to my firm, the little brother doesn't have to be like this. Your friend and I have some misunderstanding, and it's good that the misunderstanding is resolved. ”
Mu Fan looked at Cao Qian's smile and shuddered inexplicably. If he hadn't known the true face of the person in front of him in advance, he would have involuntarily believed in the person with such a smile.
Sang Er said with a smile: "Brother Cao said that it was a misunderstanding, but I don't know what the misunderstanding is? ”
Mu Fan was a little anxious, but he didn't dare to find out. He gritted his teeth and rushed towards San'er.
Cao Qian's brows furrowed slightly, and then he stretched out again. When he frowned, the fist in his sleeve clenched. As his brow furrowed, so did the fist in his sleeve.
Sang'er didn't expect Mu Fan to rush over suddenly, she was very strange in her heart, and she was about to retreat subconsciously. Before she could take a step, Mu Fan had already grabbed her wrist.
Sang Er panicked in her heart, and she was about to shake off her hands to break free. When she looked up and saw Mu Fan's eyes, the hand she wanted to break free stopped waving. Because in those eyes, she saw his concern for her and his unwavering composure.
She only felt that her heart suddenly stopped for a moment, and her whole person seemed to slow down by half a beat. The next moment her heart was beating again, and it beat so fast and fast that her body was slightly hot, and her cheeks were as red as ripe apples. It felt so good, so wonderful that she wanted to keep it that way all the time.
Mu Fan looked closely at Sang'er's eyes, he hoped that she could read his eyes and understand what he meant.
There is a wonderful feeling between people called trust, and sometimes, two strangers who have never met before, just once met, are like friends who have known each other for many years, and can talk to each other.
There is this kind of trust between Mu Fan and Sang Er, although Mu Fan doubts Sang Er's identity, Sang Er feels that Mu Fan is very wrong. But at this moment, they all chose to believe in each other.
But trust is one thing, and Sang Er reads the worry in his eyes, but he doesn't know where this worry comes from.
Mu Fan hugged Sang Er and said with vinegar: "Why do you get along so happily with this Cao Gongzi?"
He drew a cross on her hand behind her as he put his arms around her. In order to prevent her from ignoring, Mu Fan deliberately drew another one.
Drawing a cross at this angle is just enough to block Cao Qian's gaze, and at the same time let Song Changgeng and Qinglan see it.
Sang Er noticed that Mu Fan had drawn a cross on her back, and her red cheeks were buried in her chest. Although she was shy, she also knew that Mu Fan's hands were bound to have deep meaning. Combined with Mu Fan's sneaking into the business house just now, she suddenly understood that this Cao Gongzi in front of her was a cunning fox!
Song Changgeng and Qing Lan, who were sitting in the pavilion, also noticed the abnormality, and they were able to force Mu Fan to hug Sang'er, which was enough to show that things were very tricky.
They were also nervous, as long as Mu Fan had the intention of escaping, they would follow and flee in different directions.
Sang Er hugged Mu Fan's neck and said playfully: "Didn't you just say a few words, you are really the number one vinegar jar in the world." ”
Mu Fan smiled slightly, and saw Sang Er wrapping his arms around his neck and saying this kind of thing to him. He knew that his suggestion had succeeded, and the next thing he had to do was figure out how to get out of here.
Mu Fan and Sang Er concealed it very well, and they were a pair of young lovers in the eyes of others. Especially when he saw the blush on Sang'er's cheeks, Cao Qian was deceived.
Seeing this pair of men and women hugging each other in front of the public, without a little taboo, Cao Qian was inevitably a little unhappy in his heart. But as soon as he thought about delaying time, he had to put on a smiling face.
Mu Fan and Sang Er took three steps back, he saluted Cao Qian with his fists, and said, "I don't know what misunderstanding Chang Geng and your firm have. ”
Cao Qian said with a smile: "When he purchased the goods, we gave real materials, but the silver used by the little brother was all fake. ”
"Brother Qing, I didn't. Song Changgeng hurriedly said.
Mu Fan didn't reply, but continued to say to Cao Qian: "How much silver? If you're not satisfied, we can double it. ”
Cao Qian waved his hand and said: "I'm not rare with this silver, I have a big trading house under my hands, do I still care about the amount of silver." However, I am born jealous and hateful, and for this kind of liar, without him personally apologizing, this matter must not be counted like this. ”
Mu Fan didn't know what Cao Qian's real goal was, and asked tentatively, "I don't know how you want to apologize?"
"Don't ask how to apologize, that's the first thing, and the second thing. Cao Qian pointed at Qinglan, "This little girl broke into my house in the middle of the night and couldn't help but say that she injured seven of my family members. ”
Mu Fan knew that these were Cao Qian's sets, but unfortunately they had already been set, and it was not so easy to unravel.
He asked, "I wonder what you're going to do with these two things?"
Cao Qian said: "As long as the little brother surnamed Song kowtows to me, and Miss Qinglan gives my family a button, I can not blame this matter." ”
He was extremely generous, as if he had given great grace.
When Mu Fan heard the conditions, he was immediately furious. Cao Qian seems to be like a cat playing with a mouse, and his true intentions are always implicit.
Song Changgeng saw that Mu Fan was gradually getting anxious, and hurriedly smiled: "Brother Qing, I don't care, I have been a little guy that no one can afford since I was a child. It's grown so big, I don't know how many people have knelt for it, you don't have to worry. ”
Mu Fan stared at Cao Qian's smiling face and sneered. Cao Qian took advantage of the time and place, regardless of people and discord, there were many of them anyway.
Mu Fan and the others are at a disadvantage everywhere, and they can't play Cao Qian at all.
So Mu Fan said bluntly: "Cao Gou, what is your real purpose, why are you delaying time?"
Cao Qian still smiled: "Now there is another incident, you sneaked into my mansion and slandered me." ”
"Do you want me to kowtow to you to apologize?" Mu Fan ran the true yuan, and he had a desperate posture.
Cao Qian sighed secretly, the young man in front of him was still too young. It was just a few words that angered him.
Cao Qian deliberately mocked: "What, do you still want to fight with me here?" This is my territory, if you dare to do it, don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless." ”
Mu Fan changed the posture he had just been waiting for, and suddenly laughed and said, "I've been thinking, why are you delaying time? You have an overwhelming advantage, what are you afraid of?"
Cao Qian's eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth raised: "Do you still have anything to rely on?" In this huge Cao Mansion, even if you have wings, you can't escape." ”
Mu Fan said: "I don't have anything to rely on, but what must you be afraid of?"
Cao Qian slowly raised his hand, and his figure suddenly disappeared, and the next moment it appeared in front of Mu Fan's eyes. He tapped Mu Fan's chest with his raised hand, and a huge force came from his hand.
Mu Fan felt as if he had been hit by a thousand pounds of boulders in his chest, as if he had been pierced by a blow. With just one blow, he couldn't parry, knelt on the ground, and said in his heart: "I misjudged again, what is this Cao Qian going to do!"
Seeing that Mu Fan was injured, Sang'er hurriedly squatted down and asked, "Can you still stand up?"
Mu Fan nodded lightly and said weakly, "It's okay." ”
Cao Qian looked up to the sky and laughed, and the laughter was crazy. His eyes widened, and the whites of his eyes were bloodshot from the excessive force they had been opened. He didn't seem to feel the pain, and he was still laughing maniacally.
He was like a child who had found a toy and danced with joy. He laughed, "Haha...... You're going to surprise me that I didn't kill you with that finger. ”
He slowly pointed his finger at Song Changgeng, and the two were still more than ten steps apart, only to see him run the True Yuan, and a powerful and pure black qi sword stabbed towards Song Changgeng like lightning.
The black air sword pierced through the marble coffee table behind Song Changgeng, but fortunately, Qing Lan pushed hard beside him. Otherwise, this blow would be enough to pierce Song Changgeng's chest.
When the four of them saw this scene, they all gasped. This black air sword is so sharp, I am afraid that the middle one will have broken bones and tendons. At the same time, Sang Er and Qing Lan were also puzzled, why Mu Fan was hit by a finger but there was no big problem.
Cao Qian smiled and said: "Yan Qing, you are really dishonest, where can a Jianghu person get this kind of treasure armor." ”
Mu Fan's face was gloomy, and he found that Cao Qian was indeed playing a game, this was a crazy perverted madman, otherwise the four of them would definitely not survive now.
