Xiao Qi looked around and slowly strolled through the sand city. At this time, it was noon, it was the meal, smelling the fragrance from the nearby house, only to feel a cry in the stomach, but the silver on the body was exhausted, and I couldn't find a place to eat. These days, the guards at the gate of Shajiang City have suddenly become a lot stricter, originally Shajiang City was a gathering place for desert caravans, and it can be said that it is a mixture of fish and dragons, so the city gate has even been a little loose for a long time.

But recently, perhaps because of the last attack on Wei Boyu, the city gate has suddenly become stricter, except for the famous caravans who can enter and exit freely with their blades, the rest of the unidentified people will be stopped for verification. It has been nearly four days since Xiao Qi last entered the city, and he has failed to leave the city after several attempts.

But these two days he was walking in the city, but he heard some rumors. For some reason, in the markets and wine shops in Shajiang City, people talked about Suo Pingzhang secretly breaking into the Houfu Pavilion that night and seriously injuring Wei Boyu. This rumor seems to be unfounded, but people talk about it, and seem to like this mysterious episode, and whether it is true or not, it spreads like this. However, the rumors were spread, mainly because although Suo Pingzhang was in the court, his status was not prominent, Wei Boyu was a foreign minister, and no matter how the people talked about it, they also carefully avoided the reputation of the Hou Mansion, so the Hou Mansion also turned a blind eye to these rumors.

Xiao Qi didn't know where these rumors came from, but he was happy to ask Suo Pingzhang to take this thunder for himself. He gradually understood that Lu Yuanhu, who was looking at the study in the morning, specifically mentioned Suo Pingzhang, perhaps to remind Xiao Qi: Suo Pingzhang is torn between Xiao Qi, Di Yuan and Wei Boyu, no matter how he can speak well, he will always leave traces and doubts between the three. Di Yuan had always been suspicious, and when he heard such rumors, he would definitely not take no action.

Analyzing this in his heart, Xiao Qi unconsciously approached a restaurant. He had planned to take some food with him, but he saw a delicate figure at the door.

He walked over briskly and patted the man on the shoulder. Xiaoxi's whole person flicked back like a frightened bird, and when she saw Xiao Qi clearly, a surprised smile appeared on her face: "Young Master!"

Xiao Qi was full of doubts, and couldn't help asking, "Why did you come here?"

Xiaoxi said in a low voice: "The young master has not come back, Brother Mu wanted to enter the city to look for it, but because he was holding a blade, he was stuck at the city gate, and he almost caused a big incident and escaped by luck." After Brother Mu and Miss Gu discussed, he thought that after my Brother Mu and Miss Gu discussed, he thought that Xiaoxi would enter the city to find the young master, because Xiaoxi was a woman and was not noticeable......"

"Nonsense!" Xiao Qi frowned and shouted, "You are a girl, and you have no power to restrain the chicken, the two of them are simply messing around!" He imagined that Yi Mu Changsheng had a dull temperament, and he should have never thought of hiding his skills, and maybe he made a big fuss at the city gate. He couldn't help but hold his forehead and leave himself, how could these two people be so unreliable.

Xiaoxi bowed her head a little shyly and replied, "No...... It doesn't matter, Xiaoxi is willing to come to find the young master. ”

Xiao Qi nodded silently, and asked again, "Then what are you doing here?" he pointed to the restaurant next to him.

"Soon after Xiaoxi entered the city, he ...... lost the money handed over by Brother Mu, so ...... So I'm hungry, so I can only ......," she said timidly, bowing her head a little embarrassed.

Xiao Qi sighed: "Coincidentally, I am also hungry, but the silver taels on my body have already been exhausted." ”

Xiaoxi raised a shallow smile on his mouth, hung his head and muttered, "As long as you are with the young master, Xiaoxi doesn't feel hungry......"

Xiao Qi didn't hear clearly, so he leaned closer and said, "What?"

"I didn't ...... It's nothing. Xiaoxi turned her head away with a red face.

Suddenly, another familiar voice came, but Xiao Qi suddenly had an ominous premonition: "Ah, there is really a girl next to you?"

Xiao Qi recognized the owner of the voice, but he didn't really want to follow the direction of the voice. Zuo Yunyi looked at Xiao Qi playfully with his eyebrows raised as if he happened to be passing by. It's just that her height is even shorter than Xiaoxi, and she still needs to tilt her head to see Xiao Qi, which looks quite funny.

"Miss Zuo. Xiao Qi greeted helplessly. Xiaoxi didn't know where the little girl who suddenly appeared was sacred, although she was a little puzzled, but she still followed the etiquette in the palace and followed Xiao Qi with her head bowed.

"Since you have a little girl by your side, why do you bother to read the "Yanchun Zhi"?" Zuo Yunyi asked reluctantly.

Xiaoxi cast an inquiring glance at Xiao Qi, obviously not knowing what this so-called "Yanchun Zhi" was, Xiao Qi just wanted to pull Xiaoxi and turn his head and leave, but heard Zuo Yunyi shouting behind him: "Aren't you hungry?

Xiao Qi glanced back, looked at the restaurant behind Zuo Yunyi, and then looked at Xiaoxi's expectant look in his eyes, and finally scolded secretly, approached Zuo Yunyi with a frown, and asked in a low voice: "What do you want to do? Do you still want to buy my dagger?"

"I see that this little sister is handsome, and you haven't gone in here for a long time, I'm afraid you don't have any money, right? I feel sorry for this sister, I want to invite her to dinner, what does it have to do with you?" Zuo Yunyi looked at Xiao Qi with a pair of good-looking eyes.

Xiao Qi was stunned in place, seeing Zuo Yunyi approaching the restaurant with Xiaoxi very affectionately, Xiaoxi was also frightened, but was pulled into the restaurant by Zuo Yunyi, who was a little shorter than himself, and cast a look of help at Xiao Qi at the door. Xiao Qi expected that such a little girl as Zuo Yunyi would not do anything to detain hostages and threaten her, so she nodded lightly towards Xiaoxi, and she followed behind them.

The three of them entered the restaurant all the way, Zuo Yunyi didn't look at Xiao Qi, pulled Xiaoxi to sit down at a two-person table by the window, and ordered the food by himself.

"Sister...... Sister, why don't you let the young master cook it over and eat it? He's been hungry for a few days...... Xiaoxi actually thinks that the good-looking little girl in front of her is the same age as herself, and maybe even younger, but she has always been used to calling her sister, and she has asked for help, so she called out casually.

Zuo Yunyi shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly and didn't answer.

In the past, Xiaoxi didn't dare to say a word to strangers, but at this moment, Xiaoxi didn't know where to get the courage, and asked again: "Do you have any holiday with my sister and Young Master Xiao Qi?"

"It's not about holidays, he's just of some use to me. Would you fake the color of a tool?" Xiaoxi suddenly noticed that on Zuo Yunyi's right hand, a faint white light rose like a mist, like water sprinkled on a hot iron vessel to produce bursts of water vapor, and this mist seemed to be by her mind, flipped left and right as the shape of her hand changed, like a light cloud. This petite looking girl seems to be hiding a huge amount of energy.

Xiao Qi sat down at another table, pretending to pick up the menu and take a closer look, his eyes still fell on Zuo Yunyi and Xiaoxi's table, worried that Zuo Yunyi would suddenly have an accident, and on the other hand, it was also to avoid the embarrassment of being shy and shy with the shopkeeper on the other hand.

Suddenly, a person sat across Xiao Qi's table as if he was familiar with Xiao Qi, and asked the shopkeeper to bring wine and food. Xiao Qi turned his head to look, but saw Suo Pingzhang sitting across his table alone, looking at him with a smile.

"General Suo is so interested. Xiao Qi said coldly.

"The beef stew in this restaurant is really good, it is said that the beef cattle are transported from Pingzhou Ranch, and there are few restaurants in Shajiang City that can eat it. Suo Pingzhang poured himself wine and said with a smile to Xiao Qi.

Xiao Qi frowned and did not speak again. Because the rumbling stomach made him really want to try this so-called beef stew.

The shopkeeper quickly said that the dishes ordered by Suo Pingzhang were served, Suo Pingzhang politely invited Xiao Qi to dine, Xiao Qi said to eat and eat, Suo Pingzhang ordered not many plates, almost all of them were eaten by Xiao Qi, Suo Pingzhang just stretched out two chopsticks a little, then drank by himself, and looked at Xiao Qi with a smile.

"Where did General Suo come from today to think of inviting me to dinner?"

"Xiao Gongzi played a good game, so Suo Mou was in such a big limelight, so he naturally had to come to thank him. Suo Pingzhang had already drunk a few glasses of wine, but there was no drunkenness on his face.

"General Suo's powers are vast, and these tricks are not in General Suo's eyes. Xiao Qi took a bite of food and said.

Suo Pingzhang smiled, picked up the peanuts on the plate and put them in his mouth, supported his left arm on his head, half of his body was pressed on the table, and laughed in a low voice: "So Suo is curious, is it really Xiao Gongzi who broke into the Houfu Pavilion that day?"

Xiao Qi glanced up at Suo Pingzhang, then lowered his head to concentrate on eating.

"It stands to reason that Yunzhou and Xiao Gongzi are mortal enemies on the battlefield, why did Xiao Gongzi take the risk to conspire with a mortal enemy?"

Xiao Qi suddenly stopped the chopsticks in his hand, raised his head and said: "It is said that the prince of Yunzhou has a life that he picked up from the Ghost Gate, and he has not woken up yet, what kind of conspiracy can be so powerful?"

Suo Pingzhang smiled noncommittally: "Hehe, is it?"

Xiao Qi was silent again, but his lowered gaze gradually became fierce. Suo Pingzhang's voice suddenly sounded again: "Those two girls are really a sign of being born, Xiao Gongzi is very blessed, but I don't know how Miss Liu will feel." ”

Suo Pingzhang's eyes at this time fell on Zuo Yunyi and Xiaoxi at a nearby table. The table is located on the second floor, by the window, the sunlight pours down from the window, casting the mottled shadows of the panes on the table, and the two delicate girls look very beautiful in the light and shadow.

Xiao Qi suddenly noticed the stupid look on Suo Pingzhang's face, and hurriedly coughed and said, "Do you still drink the wine in General Suo's pot?"

"Suo forgot. Suo Pingzhang was stunned for a moment, and then poured wine for Xiao Qi with a smile.

Xiao Qi drank all the wine in the cup, and his amount of wine was still as bad as ever. At this moment, when the liquor was in his mouth, he only felt like a fire burning from his mouth to his chest, so hot that it almost made him grin.

Suo Pingzhang didn't seem to have any intention of appreciating Xiao Qi's ugliness, he stood up directly and smiled at Xiao Qi: "Xiao Gongzi is so busy, Suo naturally wants to repay him." Xiao Gongzi should keep his eyes open and take a good look. ”

"Please. But I don't have any money, and the account for this meal still has to trouble General Suo. ”

"I appreciate Xiao Gongzi being so upright. Suo Pingzhang smiled, left a silver ingot, and turned to leave.

He walked out of the restaurant, and one of his personal attendants was already waiting outside the door, so he came up at this moment and asked, "General Suo, how is it?"

Suo Pingzhang smiled slightly: "According to his attitude, even if this matter was not done by him, it will not have nothing to do with him." ”

"What is General Nasuo going to do? Now that rumors are spreading in Shajiang City, Hou Ye must have become suspicious. With Hou Ye's decisive style of killing, the general can't be lucky!"

"Of course I know. Suo Pingzhang said with a smile.

"Is the general going to push these people out? You can't let them stumble in the shadows anymore, or there will be chaos." ”

Suo Pingzhang shook his head and said: "No, if this move is exposed to Hou Ye, the affairs of Yunzhou, Dark Feather, and Benhai City will not be able to be hidden, and Hou Ye will not leave me alive, even if I barely survive, I will only be under Hou Ye's suspicion and surveillance forever, and it will be difficult to achieve great things." Now, instead of leaving all the calculations to the Hou Ye, it is better for the gecko to cut off its tail and make its own decisions. ”

"What does the general mean?"

Suo Pingzhang's always gentle and smiling eyes flashed a ruthless look that was completely inconsistent with his appearance, and said: "When I finish dealing with this matter, Wei Boyu, Xiao Qi, I will slowly clean up these people one by one!"
