Chapter Eighty-Five: Into the City
After recruiting the Sand Tiger, Qin Shu was not interested in exterminating the Heavenly Demon Eagle again, anyway, the Sand Tiger was trying to help him do something, so he left it to him. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
I wanted to wait for the team to join the brigade in the same place, but I couldn't resist the strong invitation of the Sand Tiger, so I went to the cottage with him to rest. The sand tiger immediately ordered people to kill pigs and sheep, and welcomed Qin Shu with the most solemn ceremony. Qin Shu was also not polite, drank wine and ate meat, and experienced the life of a thief.
After dark, the spies under the mountain came to report that the wedding procession had arrived at Shafenggang. The Sand Tiger also strongly invited the team to spend the night at Shafenggang and set off after dawn. Qin Shu thought that everyone also needed to rest, so he agreed.
As soon as Shadi Tiger was happy, he personally took his brothers down the mountain, settled hundreds of people and horses, and then invited Xia Kelie, Bi Lieyi, Wutu Cheng and others to have a good drink.
Xia Kelie fought with the Sand Tiger several times, but he didn't catch him once, and he hated him so much that he was itching in his heart. However, for the sake of Qin Shu's face and a table of good wine and good food, he can't press it. Shadi Tiger also knows what his background is, and in order to let these bigwigs of the Stele Tower City accept him as soon as possible, he toasts everywhere almost a little flatteringly, and his posture is extremely low.
Xia Kelie is a bold man, and after a few jars of fine wine, he doesn't care about the sand tiger. The rest of the great martial artists didn't have any grievances with the Sand Tiger, although they looked down on his background, but under the mediation of Qin Shu, they were also polite to him. After drinking more than a dozen jars of fine wine, several people have been familiar with each other for 20 years.
Among the people at the table, only Zhang Xuan poured himself a drink, looking alone. Xia Kelie and the others didn't treat Zhang Xuan as their own, if it weren't for Qin Shu's special order to treat Zhang Xuan well, they would have tied him up a long time ago, and they could still let him sit at a table with him and drink?
Early the next morning, the crowd said goodbye to the Sand Tiger and continued to the city of Satan.
At the beginning, Qin Shu and Qi Ziyan walked on foot, and walked for seven days and seven nights from Satan City to Stele Tower City. However, this time, everyone rode strange beasts and horses, and with Qin Shu's constant urging, it was naturally much faster.
By the afternoon of the third day, it was already less than a hundred miles away from Satan City, and Qin Shu asked Zhang Xuan to repair a letter, mainly saying that Qi Ziyan had promised to marry him, and he was on his way to send Qi Ziyan back to Satan City to be married, and he would arrive in a few days.
Repairing the book and worshipping the post is just a procedure, Qin Shu believes that Qi Wei has already received the news that the marriage team has set off, but Zhang Xuan doesn't say it, and Qi Wei is not easy to ask. In the same way, the Jade Spring Sect must have gotten the news now, and the decent people rushed to Satan City.
It is expected that both families will be surprised by this, but Zhang Xuan has always relied on his father to be the eldest Zhang to act recklessly, and he once mentioned in the letter that he wanted to get married early to avoid long nights and dreams, so he should not be too suspicious.
The Yuquan Sect is far away from Satan City, and since Zhang Xuan has already given the marriage, they have to prepare a generous gift to come to Satan City to welcome their relatives, and it will take at least three days for their team to arrive in Satan City.
So it's best if everything is resolved within three days. Otherwise, when the people from the Yuquan Sect arrived and found that the five great martial artists around Zhang Xuan were gone, they would definitely be suspicious.
The group stayed where they were for a while, and did not continue their journey to Satan City until it was dark.
This was specially arranged by Qin Shu. If he arrived in Satan City before dark, Qi Wei would definitely set up a banquet to entertain Zhang Xuan, and only Zhang Xuan and Qi Ziyan were eligible to participate in this kind of banquet, even if they were just subordinates of Qi Mansion, they were not eligible to participate. This is likely to expose the horse's feet. If he arrives late at night, Zhang Xuan can excuse himself with the excuse of being tired from the journey.
In this way, it was not until midnight that the bridal procession reached the city of Satan.
The gates of the city of Satan were brightly lit and decorated, and there were hundreds of red silks hanging down from the thirty-meter-high walls. There were hundreds of guards standing neatly at the door, each wearing red satin. The red lanterns are hung everywhere, a lively and joyful scene.
Standing at the gate of the city to greet Cui Shixiu, the chief butler of the Qi family. This chief housekeeper is now over 70 years old, has been in the Qi family for more than 50 years, and is a close confidant of Qi Wei, with a very high status.
At this time, Zhang Xuan had already ridden the majestic Golden Armor Tiger at the forefront of the team, and beside him were Xia Kelie and Wutu City. Although Zhang Xuan had agreed to cooperate, Qin Shu did not dare to be careless at all, and specially ordered Xia Kelie and Wutucheng to become his personal guards, watching him around the clock, in order to break Zhang Xuan's idea of asking the Qi family for help.
In fact, Zhang Xuan had already dispelled the idea of asking the Qi family for help. He now fully believed that Qin Shu would let himself go back after the incident, so how could he take the risk of asking the Qi family for help? Moreover, he also wanted to add fuel to the Qi family's internal fighting and make a great contribution to the Yuquan Sect.
Cui Shixiu came to Zhang Xuan respectfully, and said, "Zhang Gongzi, Cui Shixiu, the head of Xia Qi Mansion, is here to welcome Zhang Gongzi on the order of the head of the family. ”
Zhang Xuan glanced at Cui Shixiu, and did not dismount, but said nonchalantly, "The head of the Qi family is polite, and Mr. Cui is working hard." ”
Cui Shixiu didn't care, smiled slightly, and said, "Gongzi Zhang has a tired journey, please go into the city to rest." The head of the house has set up a banquet in the house and waited. ”
After that, he personally stepped forward to hold the reins, and his attitude was extremely humble and respectful.
It's no wonder that now the Yuquan Sect is the key force that Qi Wei has to rely on, and even he himself is polite to the people of the Yuquan Sect, not to mention that he is a general manager?
"No need, it's late at night and won't bother the Qi family master. Besides, Miss Qi is also tired from the journey and needs to rest. Zhang Xuan said according to Qin Shu's instructions.
Cui Shixiu nodded, "In that case, then I will lead Zhang Gongzi to Qi Mansion to rest." ”
And they went into the city.
As one of the largest cities in Longyun Prefecture, Satan City is naturally not comparable to the Stele Tower City. The buildings in the city are exquisite and tall, the street layout is staggered and orderly, although it is late at night, the night market is not in the middle, the shops on the street are as bright as day, and the people inside are crowded and lively.
I walked for another half an hour before I arrived at Qi Mansion. As the headquarters of the Qi family, Qi Mansion is needless to say. Let's just say that the eight big pillars at the door, each of which has to be hugged by three people, are finely carved on the pillars, and a layer of gold dust is painted, and it is said that these gold dust used up a full 500 pounds!
Qi Mansion covers an area of hundreds of acres, and the mansion is divided into more than a dozen large courtyards, each courtyard is an independent side of the world, inhabited by the clansmen of each branch.
Zhang Xuan was arranged in the upper guest compartment, which is a large suite, with a master bedroom and two secondary bedrooms. The master bedroom is where the master lives, and the second bedroom is naturally for family members or personal guards. Shaklie and Uttu lived in two secondary bedrooms.
Qi Ziyan naturally returned to her former room. Seeing that everything in the room was as usual, I couldn't help but sigh.
Qin Shu was originally arranged in a subordinate room, but he didn't even go, but went directly into Qi Ziyan's room. As Qi Ziyan's personal entourage, he went into Qi Ziyan's room to help the master pack up his things, and this reason is reasonable.
But when he goes in, he doesn't plan to come out. Just kidding, he is a thorn in Qi Wei's side, what if Qi Wei sends someone to kill him? It's different with Qi Ziyan, no matter how he says, Qi Wei doesn't dare to blatantly enter Qi Ziyan's room to kill people, and Qi Wei also expects Qi Ziyan to marry smoothly, let alone do so.
"Little book, it feels so good to be home. Qi Ziyan said to Qin Shu.
"Now is not the time to sigh. Qin Shu said, "We have to contact the Great Elder, Second Elder, and Fifth Elder as soon as possible. ”
"Well, after another hour, everything will settle down, and Mr. Cui will figure out a way after they go back. ”
The two sat opposite each other in the room, calculating the time in their minds.
Half an hour later, everything was settled, and it was finally completely quiet outside.
"Let's go, let's go to the courtyard of the five elders first, he is the closest to us. Qin Shu said.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sharp knock at the door.
Qi Ziyan went to open the door and jumped up suddenly.
