Chapter 5: Goodbye, Little Broken (5)
"Are you sure he's a liar?" Gongzi's doubts are still difficult to dispel, "I can see him with my own eyes. ”
"The Golden Crow Envoy is me, and only me. Other than that, it's all scammers. Yi Miao, who was obsessed with the identity of the divine envoy, corrected Gongziyu while watching Qi Bei and Xiao Xiao enter the game without knowing it, she said triumphantly, "Before I kill you, let me see: what are your intentions by pretending to be a golden crow divine envoy." Do you want money? Do you want to get your hands on the position of the Lord of the Wind Castle? ”
"How are you going to force out the original form of Qibei?"
"What I have laid is the secret fire refining array of the East China Sea Goldfish Clan, as long as I lead him into a trap, I will burn his whole body with fire. He cannot escape unless the original form is revealed. Yi Miao stretched out her hand and pointed, and a series of crisp bells rang from somewhere in the Li family's courtyard.
"Shall we guess," Yi Miao pulled out the three copper bells on a string of threads, "Let's see what Qi Bei cares about the most?" Money? Beauty? Or power? If it were you, what would you want? ”
Gongzi looked at the three copper bells one by one and didn't make a choice.
If you want to talk about this work in the Li family's mansion today, it is definitely easy to earn a lot of money. As far as Qi Bei and Xiao Xiao could see, every corner and wall was clean, without the slightest sign of poisonous insects. Moreover, the Li family entertained the two very warmly, and even made him a little weak in "taking money and not working".
"Lord Jinwu Divine Envoy," Mrs. Li was thoughtful and considerate, and ordered the maid to bring tea and pour water, fruit plates and desserts, and put them on the table, "Is there really no poisonous insects in the house?" The head of my family is stationed in Haiphong and cannot return to the city all year round. I take care of everything in the house. Maybe I've been too tired lately, and I've always felt panicked. I dreamed for several nights in a row, and I dreamed that a lot of insects crawled out of the bell, covering the whole house, which was really scary. You can check it again, my heart, I can put it down a lot. Is it really okay? ”
Qi Bei told the truth: "At present, it seems that your home is absolutely safe. If Madame is not at ease, I will take a closer look with Xiao Sha. ”
"That's for the best." Mrs. Li thanked her for her kindness, "Actually, there is nothing unpleasant in this house, and I also asked the Golden Crow Divine Envoy to carefully inspect every room." "Immediately ordered someone to open all the doors to facilitate Qi Bei and Xiao Xiao to enter at any time.
Xiao Xiao took a chicken wing from the stove and gnawed it off, looked left and right, everything was safe: "In my opinion, Mrs. Li made a fuss." It is likely that I was frightened by the scene of the attack of the hundred flies and hallucinated. You see, her house is clean, not to mention a hundred bugs, and even an ordinary bug is hard to find.
Qi Bei seriously rummaged through the firewood: "We finally took a lot of silver from her, don't just gnaw on chicken wings, hurry up and help." I'll have to look through all the rooms in a while. ”
Walking through the courtyard, there was still nothing.
Xiao Xiao pointed to the wide open door in front of him in surprise, and there was no one around: "This family is too relieved!" The doors of the ledger are open directly for us to enter? ”
Qi Bei Zhengse said: "Don't move your crooked eyes." I'll tell you in advance, if you want to take other people's gold and silver bars for yourself, I will take them all back and return them to Mrs. Li. ”
"Okay, anyway, it's not me who saves money to support my wife." Xiao Xiao watched Qi Bei shuttle between the neatly placed gold and silver nuggets, and he was really able to pass through the thousands of flowers without getting touched at all, and he was very careful to find a possible hiding place for poisonous insects in the gaps of gold nuggets, as if gold and silver were all broken copper and iron, which was not at all more attractive than poisonous insects.
"In fact, you can use the name of the Golden Crow Divine Envoy to make money in many ways, and it doesn't have to be so hard. I was willing to check the Li family twice. For example, the gold and silver jewelry here, if you take away the large pieces, it is indeed easy to be discovered, but these gold ingots are not big, and there is this big box of broken silver, just grab a handful and put it in your pocket, and no one will find it. ”
"Put it back!" Qi Bei stopped his busyness and stared at Xiao Xiaoxiao, who was greedy for money, very annoyed, "Why are you the same as your junior sister?" The Master was taught during his lifetime that he would never make ill-gotten gains. To be a human being is to walk upright and sit upright. The name 'Golden Crow Divine Envoy' is not for me to cheat people out of money. If you dare to get your hands on other people's property, then I will never have anything to do with you again, and you can deceive yourself. ”
"Good, good, let go of ease and blessings, for the sake of conscience. I get it. Xiao Xiao weighed the heavy gold nugget, reluctantly put it back in its place, what else can I say, let's help catch insects together.
Seeing Qi Bei and Xiao Xiao walking out of the account room safe and sound, Gongzi was nervous, and hurriedly asked Yi Miao: "What should I do?" A room full of gold, silver and jewelry, they were stunned that they didn't take the bait. ”
Yi Miao laughed softly, and threw away the first copper bell that symbolized wealth, and from the moment Qi Bei refused the temptation, cracks appeared on the copper bell.
"It wasn't for the money." Yi Miao took the second bell and asked, "What about this?" ”
Before this new copper bell could ring, I heard a coquettish scream, followed by Qi Bei's apologies when he crawled out of the door.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! It was Mrs. Li who said that every room in the house should be checked, and I didn't know you were changing clothes......"
Gongzi looked at the group of delicate women, smacked her lips, and sighed that Qi Bei didn't know the goods: "It's still useless?" Will your third brass bell lure him in? ”
Yi Miao was a little surprised, and continued to grope for the third copper bell: "It's not even for beauty?" And what about the next one. ”
Gongzi looked at Qi Bei's busy figure with some expectation, this guy pretended to be a golden crow divine envoy, what did he want?
"Mrs. Li? Are you in there? Can I get in? "With the lessons of the past, Qibei did not dare to trespass.
Mrs. Li, who was neatly dressed, retreated left and right, and suddenly knelt in front of Qi Bei crying, and presented a box in her hand: "Golden Crow Divine Envoy!" Hurry up and save the wind in the city! ”
Qi Bei was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Madame, hurry up, if you have something to say, speak slowly." What calamity is happening in the city? ”
"Isn't it still the heir of the city lord who has not yet been decided?" Mrs. Li kept wiping away her tears, "If the situation of the wind and the ownerless continues, the city will be in chaos." For today's plan, we have to quickly make a choice for the city lord in order to stabilize the people's hearts, are you right? ”
"That seems to be the case."
Mrs. Li continued to pave the way: "The king of a country must be appointed by those who have the ability, and he must have the will of the people and the expectations of the people. In my opinion, there is only one person in this city who has made you the Golden Crow. Please also take the Great Seal of the City Lord. ”
