Chapter 217: Fishing in Troubled Waters
(Go back to your hometown after dawn for a few days, no internet, but if you have the chance, you will go to an Internet café to upload the latest chapter.) )
On the way through the corridor of the back hall with Qi Wanfu, Su Qin kept thinking about the people he saw today, and he couldn't understand why such unexpected people came to Lu Mansion today, just like Du Linlou and Zhang Wanshan who he saw just now, in Su Qin's opinion, these two people are big people who are difficult to see in ordinary people- If people like Aunt Sun came to Lufu to celebrate their birthday because they needed connections and interests to take root and sprout in Lihuo City, then Du Linlou, who was in charge of the Qilin Army, did not need to come here at all, and Zhang Wanshan, the proud disciple of the national teacher, because the object of the two of them was Lu Tianxing, they didn't need to look at other people's eyes, and there was no need to deliberately please anyone, as well as Mo Xiao and Guo Shihao who I saw before, the appearance of these two people made Su Qin also a little surprised, Su Qin knew that Guo Qili's death was because of Hulun Qinghan, which would inevitably lead to Mo Xiao and Guo Shihao going to opposition, although he didn't see the two fighting in Lu Mansion, but Su Qin always felt that things were too abnormal, there must be a demon when things are impermanent, Su Qin felt that he should have ignored something, but as for what he had missed, Su Qin couldn't figure it out.
"Su Shaoxia has something on his mind?" Looking at Su Qin, who was silent with his head down all the way, Qi Wanfu, who was leading the way in front, deliberately slowed down, and then said to Su Qin.
"I saw a lot of unexpected guests in the hall just now, so I was a little distracted, which made Steward Qi smile. Hearing Qi Wanfu's words, Su Qin replied with a slight smile.
"I was a little surprised, too. Qi Wanfu frowned lightly when he said this, "In the past, although the ancestors celebrated their birthdays, they were not as lively as today, but there were not many people who were not included in the invitation. ”
"But the master has already told them to go no matter how lively it is outside, and those of us who are subordinates naturally don't dare to ask anything. Looking at Su Qin, who had a somewhat confused expression on his face, Qi Wanfu said with a smile.
"I don't know what is the origin of the stone that Shopkeeper Lu let me see?" Walking through the roundabout corridor, looking at the emerald green path in his eyes, Su Qin, who was warmly sprinkled by the sun, had an illusion, he always felt that the world in front of him was too illusory, so illusory that he didn't know if he would still see these real pictures when he woke up from his sleep next time.
"Stone?" Hearing Su Qin's words, Qi Wanfu smiled and shook his head slightly, "Su Shaoxia, although I haven't seen the new stone master, I know that it is a strange stone. ”
"Strange stones?" Seeing a hint of mystery on Qi Wanfu's face, Su Qin asked rhetorically, and couldn't help but think of the first time he saw Lu Zhenyu outside Qingyun City, at that time, in order to sell those strange-shaped stones, Su Qin used some things learned from ancient books to say something to Lu Zhenyu in front of him, and now Lu Zhenyu wants to appreciate the strange stones by himself - because he has been familiar with those stones in the mountains since he was a child, Su Qin is confident that he will not be too ashamed to rely on the methods of appreciating strange stones in his mind.
People are emotional animals, Su Qin, who remembered that experience, came up with the figure of Makino in his mind at this time, and after a few months, Su Qin didn't know where Makino was now and whether he was still alive - When Liu Yi and the others left Lihuo City, the Qilin Army captured Muye, and if they wanted to investigate Muye's current whereabouts, in Su Qin's opinion, the only way to start was from the Qilin Army, but Su Qin knew that he wanted to inquire about some inside stories about the Qilin Army from the Qilin Army, I am afraid that there was no other way except for the person who arrested Muye at the beginning, the problem was that Su Qin, the 20,000 Qilin Army soldiers in the Fire City, still doesn't know who arrested Muye in the first place.
However, Su Qin had an intuition that Mu Ye was still alive, because Su Qin had asked Aunt Sun in a letter if she had seen Mu Ye in Lihuo City, and Aunt Sun's answer was where Mu Ye should be held, because she had sent someone to investigate - during the time when Liu Yi and the others left, Aunt Sun did not hear anyone say that the Qilin Army secretly committed suicide.
"Su Shaoxia, it's in front, the master is waiting for you inside. Looking at Su Qin, who was obviously in a trance, Qi Wanfu said with kindness.
"Is there anyone else in the room besides Shopkeeper Lu?" Listening to the faint voice coming from in front of him, Su Qin turned his head to look around and asked Qi Wanfu.
"This old slave doesn't know. Qi Wanfu nodded to Su Qin as he spoke, Su Qin stood a foot behind Qi Wanfu, and Qi Wanfu knocked on the carved wooden door of the room at this time, "Master, Su Shaoxia is here." ”
"Let Su Shaoxia come in. Lu Zhenyu's voice came from inside the room.
"Su Shaoxia, please come in. Hearing Lu Zhenyu's answer, Qi Wanfu gently pushed open the door at this time, and then turned to Su Qin and made a gesture of please.
Saying thank you to Qi Wanfu, Su Qin entered the room, and after he entered, Qi Wanfu closed the door casually, and after standing outside the house for a while, he looked at the sun that was already rising, and Qi Wanfu walked towards the hall of the Lu Mansion with heavy steps. He was a little hidden from what Su Qin said just now, there were so many uninvited guests from the Lu Mansion, in Qi Wanfu's opinion, they were all uninvited guests, after all, today was a big day, so when he told Lu Zhenyu about the whereabouts of these visitors, although Lu Zhenyu only said one sentence, it was this sentence that made Qi Wanfu shudder.
"It's a good show of catching turtles in an urn. Lu Zhenyu said to Qi Wanfu with a smile at the time.
"Little Brother Su, you're finally here. Looking at Su Qin, who came to the house, Qi Wanfu smiled and said, after saying this, Lu Zhenyu turned his head to Lu Hongyi on the side and said, "Xiaoyi, you take Xiaotian out first." ”
Hearing Lu Zhenyu's words, he whispered to Lu Hongyi, who was glaring at Su Qin angrily since Su Qin entered the house, and stepped forward to hold Lu Xiaotian, who was still holding a curved bow in his hand, and left from the side door, looking at Su Qin, Lu Xiaotian shook his hand to say goodbye.
Looking away from Lu Xiaotian's smiling face, Su Qin looked at Lu Zhenyu who came to him and said slightly apologetically, "I'm sorry for keeping Shopkeeper Lu waiting for a long time." ”
After speaking, Su Qin looked at a middle-aged man sitting on a wooden chair next to him with the rest of his eyes - the middle-aged man was wearing a golden crown with his hair tied and wearing a brocade robe, because he was sitting there with his head down and playing with the wrench on the thumb of his left hand, so Su Qin couldn't see his expression, and he couldn't see what kind of pattern the gorgeous pattern embroidered with green silk on his clothes was, but judging from the sitting posture of the middle-aged man, Su Qin knew that this person was tall and mighty, and he should not be an idle person.
"It's not too late, it's not too late. After hearing Su Qin's words, Lu Zhenyu then looked at the middle-aged man and said to Su Qin, "This is Wang Ruhua, the commander of the Lion Army of the Qilin Army, General Wang has always been entangled in official duties, and it is the fate of the Su brothers to come here today." ”
Hearing Lu Zhenyu's words, Su Qin frowned, but quickly stretched.
"I have admired the name of General Wang for a long time, and it is really a blessing for three lives to see it today. Looking at Wang Ruhua, Su Qin did not slander why a tall man chose such a feminine name, but took two steps forward and said to Wang Ruhua.
"You're welcome. Wang Ruhua, who gently spit out two words, raised her head slightly at this time, and her eyes paused on Su Qin's face - although it was only a light glance, Su Qin had a feeling of being seen through, but Su Qin did not move his gaze down because of this, and still looked at Wang Ruhua.
"Now that the people are here, Brother Lu can be busy with your business first. Looking at Su Qin, who was looking directly at him, Wang Ruhua, who had a smile of unknown meaning at the corner of her mouth, turned her head and said to Shopkeeper Lu.
"Little Brother Su, you take a look at this strange stone first. Hearing Wang Ruhua's words, Lu Zhenyu nodded slightly, then walked a few steps to the center of the hall, stretched out his hand and pulled away a piece of red cloth next to the table in front of the hall, and as the red cloth was lifted, a one-person high stone appeared in front of Su Qin.
"I don't know what Shopkeeper Lu means?" staring at a few wooden plates next to the stone, Su Qin frowned, and there were knives of different sizes and shapes placed inside.
"Because my mother likes strange stones all her life, this strange stone is specially found by the emperor from the land of southern Xinjiang for General Wang to bring to my mother, but this strange stone has not yet been polished, according to the emperor's will, I will carve it first, so that when General Wang gives it to my mother, it will look better. When he said this, Lu Zhenyu stared at the stone with a somewhat complicated expression on his face.
"This stone must have come from the valley of a stream in the land of the southern frontier. Hearing Lu Zhenyu say this, Su Qin nodded, and when he took a few steps forward to the strange stone, he gently stroked the traces of the river washing on the stone with his hand, "This must have been seen by the shopkeeper Lu, so I won't say much here." Speaking of this, Su Qin looked at Lu Zhenyu, who was frowning, and smiled slightly, "I know what Shopkeeper Lu wants me to do, please wait for me to observe for a while." ”
After saying this, Su Qin revolved around the stone, sometimes leaning over and staring at the gap in the stone, sometimes gently tapping the stone with his hand, sometimes sniffing the smell of the stone with his nose, just like that, after half a cup of tea, Su Qin kept observing the stone without saying a word.
Seeing that Su Qin was admiring the stone, Lu Zhenyu didn't say much, he had done these things Su Qin had done before, he was waiting for Su Qin to tell him the answer later, and Wang Ruhua on the side took a sip of tea at this time, looked back and forth on Su Qin's body a few times, and finally landed outside the window, and there were several unknown birds on the peach branch outside the window who were happily flapping their wings and chasing each other, and Wang Ruhua, who seemed to be attracted by these birds, lost his mind for a moment.
"This strange stone is hard, so the whole gives people a sense of calm and rich, because the water brush is rugged and sharp in some places, and some places have become abstract and strange because of wind erosion, in my opinion, no matter in terms of texture, shape, or color, this human-like stone can afford the word "sacred stone". Su Qin, who had been observing for a while, first closed his eyes as if he was reminiscing about something, and when he opened his eyes, he said softly.
"I don't know if Little Brother Su has a name in his heart?" Hearing Su Qin say this, Lu Zhenyu asked with a happy face.
"This stone is completely natural, like a human form, and it is ...... at the moment of the ancestor's birthday," Su Qin paused when he said this, "Why don't you just call Tiangong beautiful?"
"What do you mean?" Hearing Su Qin's words, Wang Ruhua interjected at this time.
"Let it go through the vicissitudes of time, but also straighten your waist and become strong. ”
"It's a beautiful day. Hearing Su Qin say this, Wang Ruhua's eyebrows raised, and then he stood up, and he was seven feet tall, and he took steps, quite like a lion swearing to the sky and descend into the clouds.
