Chapter Ninety-Eight

Chi Liang never closed his eyes after the Lingdao Gate entrusted the task, at first he remembered the time, he clearly knew how long it would take for an incense stick to burn to turn into ashes. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

But he smelled so much and drank too much wine that he couldn't remember anything. He remembered only one thing, staring out the door with bloodshot eyes, for the man he was waiting for was about to walk in from the secluded street outside the door.

When Su Xiaoqi walked into the Laifu Inn, he found Chi Liang at first sight, not because of his outstanding appearance, but because of the way he drank.

There are three streets in Gongyang City, one is more deserted than the other, and the Laifu Inn is located on the most deserted Qiqiao Street. Therefore, most of the people who come here to drink are frustrated Jianghu people, or drunkards who have half a copper coin on their bodies.

They all drank almost the same wine, and after a glass of wine, their brows furrowed, then their eyes closed, and their faces folded, like orange peels that had lost all their moisture. Often, instead of wine, they drink bitter water.

But slowly, after a few glasses of wine, their faces changed. The wrinkles carved out by the years are as if they have drunk enough water, and they stretch out one after another, and their faces are rosy as if they have encountered a great happy event, and those who dare to say and those who dare not say are shaken out of their mouths.

Only Chi Liang is different, he drank as if he was fighting, viciously raised his glass into his throat, and viciously smashed the wine glass on the table. He drank so quickly that it seemed like he was dying.

Suddenly, the hand that had not let go of the wine glass for more than ten days began to tremble, Su Xiaoqi kicked off the snow on his feet, and walked towards Chi Liang with a heavy face.

On the table and on the ground, there are more than 30 wine jars, and Chi Liang, who is not drunk, has never been drunk, and he has never gotten up since he sat at this table, he is afraid, afraid that Su Xiaoqi will not find him.

"Why did you come now?" Two lines of tears instantly slipped down Chi Liang's eyes.

His anger and resentment were all burned out with the incense, and at this moment, his heart was only full of grievances and indescribable sourness.

Su Xiaoqi was silent, he sat down slowly, looking at the incense burner in front of him full of white ash, and there was an incense stick on top of the white ash, which had been burned for nearly half of it.

"What's going on?" Su Xiaoqi looked at Chi Liang in a green shirt, and his tone was very low.

The next moment, Chi Liang was about to speak, but Su Xiaoqi interrupted him: "Let's talk about it on the road, let's go first." ”

Of course, Su Xiaoqi's heart was impatient, but he had to stay calm, he didn't know how many thieves there were in the Fierce Tooth Village, and he didn't know if there were any strong spiritual masters among them, Feng Yi wanted him to be carried away by anger.

......

"Drive!"

The groom shook the whip like thunder, and the wheels flew so fast that the snow flew in both directions, and the trees on both sides of the road were shaking.

On weekdays, the carriage never passes through the Tunbing Slope, let alone when the snow covers the mountain. But after Su Xiaoqi threw out a few ingots of silver, no one cared about the terrible bandits and the difficult snowy roads.

After a conversation with Chi Liang, I learned that Chi Liang was a student who went to study at Vientiane Academy in the Central Domain, and when he passed through the Tunbing Slope, his female companion was kidnapped by bandits.

The only thing that makes Su Xiaoqi strange is that why is Chi Liang's belongings still there?

Not only did the thieves not take his life, but they didn't even hurt him a piece of flesh, but they just ridiculed him a few words and let him go, which is really strange.

"Sneer......"

A thick wisp of smoke floated from the carriage, and Su Xiaoqi glanced at the sleepy Chi Liang, and a pimple formed in his heart. Chi Liang's expression didn't seem to be fake, he really couldn't figure it out.

"Appeal ......"

With a long cry from the groom, the sound of the wheels running over the snow gradually stopped, and the carriage stopped shaking. Chi Liang, who had been tense and nervous, relaxed a little and fell asleep deeply.

Su Xiaoqi lifted the curtain and peeked out of the carriage, not far from the left front, there was a steep hillside, usually it takes a lot of effort to climb the mountain, but now it is full of ice and snow, and it is even more difficult.

"Do you want to go up with me?" Su Xiaoqi turned his head and asked.

Chi Liangdun was awakened and exclaimed, "I...... I can ...... together. Let's go up together?"

Su Xiaoqi nodded and said, "Of course you can, but you must protect yourself." ”

Chi Liang got up, but slowly sat back again, and said, "Isn't it going to be a big risk?"

Su Xiaoqi did not speak.

"Is it very likely that he will die?" Chi Liang said again.

Su Xiaoqi asked rhetorically, "What do you think?"

"I ......" paused, his eyes wandered and said, "I...... I'm still not going. ”

"You don't want to see her sooner?"

"I think it's thinking, but it's ......" Chi Liang hesitated.

"I see. Su Xiaoqi turned around and stepped out of the carriage, raised his head to look at the hazy outline of the cottage hidden in the dead trees, and swept up the hillside with his spiritual power.

Regarding Chi Liang's reaction, Su Xiaoqi can think very clearly, there is no injury, and even his clothes are not torn, which means that Chi Liang did not even have the most basic fight and allowed the bandits to kidnap his female companion.

In the half a month that he was waiting for him to come, he just waited for him, and he didn't even think of any other rescue methods, did Chi Liang really care about this person?

It was unexpectedly easy to climb the hillside, and there was no obstruction, and even more, Su Xiaoqi saw hundreds of bandits lined up on both sides, smiling as if welcoming his arrival.

A thin man with gray teeth stepped forward, rubbed his hands together and said, "I heard the sound of wheels a few feet away, Your Excellency, please come with me." ”

Su Xiaoqi hesitated for a moment and followed.

Walked through the sharp wooden fence, walked past the scattered thatched huts, and finally stopped at a small two-story building that emitted a faint fragrance.

"Your Excellency, please come in. The thin man bowed and made a gesture of please.

Su Xiaoqi frowned and said, "Inside?"

A look of helplessness appeared in the thin man's eyes, and he nodded sadly, "It's inside." ”

Su Xiaoqi looked at the thin man seriously from top to bottom, pushed the door and walked in.

The interior of the house is very elegantly furnished, there is a plum blossom in the vase on the table, and the rouge gouache is scattered on the dresser, and the owner of the small building must have just dressed up carefully.

Ascending the stairs, a petite woman was sitting at a table with her back to Su Xiaoqi, holding her face in her hands and looking out of the small window, as if she didn't know that Su Xiaoqi had gone upstairs.

"Didn't he come?" The woman in the pink fox fur turned around and looked at Su Xiaoqi crying.

Su Xiaoqi was puzzled in his heart, and said, "This ...... What the hell is going on?"

"Daddy arranged it. Guo Yao turned his body back again, looked at the blurred carriage at the bottom of the mountain and cried, "He wants me to see if Brother Liang is sincere to me." ”
