Volume 2 Time Remnant Chapter 358 The Young City Lord and the City Lord
Chu Qingxiao's words finally made Meng Jin's hanging heart relax a little.
Everyone cleaned up the mess after the fight in the courtyard again, and then Chu Qingxiao went back to the house to change his clothes.
"Brother Qingxiao is dressed so handsomely, which girl are you going to meet?" Song Qingqing saw that Chu Qingxiao was wearing a new shirt, and immediately asked vigilantly.
As soon as these words came out, Chu Zhaozhao and Meng Jin on the side also immediately cast vigilant glances at Chu Qingxiao.
Chu Qingxiao was a little numb by their gaze, and hurriedly explained: "This is the shirt that Sister Sanniang made for me, the one just now, the corners of the clothes were scratched in several places during the fight, and it was inconvenient to wear it out, so I changed into this one." ”
"Moreover, I'm not going to look for any girl, I'm going to meet Mr. Meng."
"Mr. Meng?" As soon as these words came out, Xu Yixiu, who was lowering his head and pretending to clean up the wreckage of the wooden planks on the ground, suddenly raised his head and looked at Chu Qingxiao and the others.
Before coming, his father had mentioned that she had paid attention to whether there was any guidance from someone behind Chu Qingxiao.
And these days, in getting along with Chu Qingxiao and others, she carefully screened many of Chu Qingxiao's companions.
Song Qing knew that Zhaozhao and the two of them, although they had good talents, they were all thinking about how to compete for favor and power, and in Xu Yixiu's opinion, they couldn't become a big thing.
The brothers and sisters of the Meng family, although Meng Ziliang's performance today is indeed strange, but in general, the brothers and sisters of the Meng family do not look like masters who can guide Chu Qingxiao.
As for Lu Sandao, who drinks all year round, and Xu Dangren, who is blind and lame, they don't have such skills.
Therefore, after Xu Yixiu these days, she secretly thought that the only person who could become a master who could guide Chu Qingxiao behind her back was Mr. Meng from Spiegel Terrace.
She didn't know much about that Mr. Meng.
When I first arrived in Tianhang City, I heard some residents of Tianhang City occasionally mention that it seemed to be the leader of a non-governmental organization, and in recent years, this non-governmental organization has continued to grow, and it has become quite prestigious in Tianhang City.
Then after coming to Chu Qingxiao's residence, she heard Chu Qingxiao and others mention Mr. Meng during the conversation more than once, and the two sides seemed to have some cooperation.
Xu Yixiu was extremely puzzled that Chu Qingxiao could have such a powerful cultivation in such a short period of time, and at the same time he could also have two symbiotic gods.
Naturally, she didn't want to accept the fact that the guy who competed with her father for the Dragon Seal would be a gifted person.
It is even no exaggeration to say that even if Chu Qingxiao is really a rare genius in a hundred years or even a thousand years, it is almost inconceivable that he can have two symbiotic gods.
Therefore, Xu Yixiu prefers to believe that there is a certain force behind the trouble, and Spiegel and Mr. Meng are obviously the most suspicious objects at present.
"Mr. Meng?"
"Why are you going to see him?"
"That guy has a lot of bad intentions!" Song Qingqing frowned, he didn't have a good impression of Mr. Meng.
Especially after knowing that it was Mr. Meng who gave the Bai family couple the desolate elixir, Song Qingqing was even more disgusted with Mr. Meng to the extreme.
When Chu Zhaozhao heard this, he also stepped forward, and said with the same concern: "Qingxiao, could it be that Mr. Meng who is looking for you for something?" ”
"He may still have some contact with the Martial Prince's Mansion, you still have to be careful."
After the Bai family couple turned into a barren person on Tianhang Street that day, Zhong Yuan's performance in the Wuwang Mansion seemed to have been expected for a long time, and everyone secretly speculated in private, thinking about whether the Spiegel Terrace and Mr. Meng would be a chess piece planted by the Wuwang Mansion in the Tianhang Mountain.
"Mr. Meng hasn't taken the initiative to contact me recently, but we want to investigate the barren case, and there may be many things that Mr. Meng and others need to contribute, so naturally I should visit the door." Chu Qingxiao said with a smile.
In the end, he also saw the worries of Song Qingqing and others, and said: "Don't worry, I have my own measure in these things." ”
Although everyone doesn't believe in Mr. Meng's personality very much, they have always been steady in doing things for Chu Qingxiao, at least for so long, Chu Qingxiao has never made a mistake in major matters, seeing Chu Qingxiao's resolute attitude, they didn't want to say anything more, nodded silently, and agreed.
"Mr. Meng is very deep in the city, you have refused his request for cooperation before, but now you turn your head to ask for help, the other party may take advantage of this lion to open his mouth......" But Xue Sanniang still reminded at this time.
"Or ......"
"Shall I go with him?" And at this moment, Xu Yixiu, who had been listening to everyone's conversation with her ears pricked up, suddenly spoke.
When everyone heard this, they all looked sideways at Xu Yixiu.
Facing everyone's strange and suspicious gazes, Xu Yixiu suddenly felt a little overwhelmed.
She hurriedly defended: "I mean, since you are so worried, I will follow, maybe I can protect him for a ...... or two."
She said this, but the more she spoke, the quieter her voice became, and it was obvious that even she could not convince herself, let alone convince everyone.
"No...... If it doesn't work, forget it......"
"I'll just say it casually." She said a little embarrassed, her face turned red, and she kept scolding herself in the bottom of her heart - Xu Yixiu, Xu Yixiu! You're not a brain! You can't lie decently!
She was secretly annoyed that the excuse she casually talked about couldn't stand the slightest scrutiny, which made her miss this opportunity to see the true face of the master behind Chu Qingxiao.
"It's fine." And at this moment, Chu Qingxiao's voice suddenly came.
"Huh?" Xu Yixiu, who heard this, was stunned for a moment, raised her head in dismay, looked at Chu Qingxiao, and saw a faint smile on the other party's face, Xu Yixiu was sure that she didn't seem to hear it wrong.
"But when you come back, you still have to repair the gate of this courtyard." Chu Qingxiao pointed to the remains of the courtyard gate on the ground and added.
Xu Yixiu came back to her senses, lest Chu Qingxiao regret it, she hurriedly nodded: "Okay!" ”
……
Xu Yixiu followed behind Chu Qingxiao and walked on the streets of Tianhang City.
She raised her head to look at the young man in front of her with some curiosity and some confusion.
After all, this is the first time she has looked at Chu Qingxiao at such a close distance with a relatively peaceful mind.
Because she was behind Chu Qingxiao's side, Xu Yixiu could only see Chu Qingxiao's side face.
The boy's side face is clean and clear.
It's not handsome, but it's surprisingly attractive.
Such a thought came to mind, Xu Yixiu's heart tightened, and she hurriedly shook her head, throwing this strange thought out of her mind.
And her strange behavior also attracted Chu Qingxiao's attention, Chu Qingxiao, who was walking in front, stopped, looked back at Xu Yixiu, and asked strangely, "What's wrong?" ”
Of course, Xu Yixiu couldn't tell the enemy in front of her what she was thinking just now, she avoided Chu Qingxiao's gaze and said, "No...... Nothing ......."
When Chu Qingxiao heard this, he looked at Xu Yixiu directly with his clear eyes for a while, and then withdrew his gaze and continued to walk along the street.
Seeing this, Xu Yixiu breathed a long sigh of relief, and then hurriedly caught up with Chu Qingxiao's pace.
"By the way, what kind of person is City Lord Xu? I'm curious. And at this moment, Chu Qingxiao, who was walking in front, suddenly asked again.
Xu Yixiu was stunned when she heard this, but the next moment her heart was full of vigilance, in the past, if Chu Qingxiao asked about it, she would definitely snort coldly, and then ask rhetorically: "What do you have to do with it?" ”
But today, Xu Yixiu has benefited from Chu Qingxiao after all.
There is a way to eat people with a soft mouth and a soft hand with people, Xu Yixiu can't pull down her face and say cruel things after all.
"My dad...... Nature is a wonderful person! ”
"He was ordered to take over Jianyue City at the most critical time when Jianyue City was at stake, and he has been working hard for so many years, in order to let Jianyue City get rid of the shadow of treason back then, and be able to resume the duties of Long Xiangwei."
"It's been twelve years, and it's finally improved, but I just met you and ...... our dragon seal in Jianyue City."
Although Xu Yixiu told herself that she had to learn to be with Chu Qingxiao, she wanted to gain Chu Qingxiao's trust, so that she could better find out the information and secrets about Chu Qingxiao.
But as he said this, he couldn't help but turn back and complain to Chu Qingxiao.
Xu Yixiu also knew that she had made a mistake, and her voice gradually became quieter.
Chu Qingxiao didn't care, as if he hadn't heard Xu Yixiu's complaints in the second half, he continued to walk towards the front of the street, and said in his mouth: "When I was in Wuling City, I also heard Commander Song mention the Lord of Xu. ”
"He said that the city lord of Xu is a person who likes to have fun."
"From listening to music in the hook bar to telling stories in wine shops, from gambling house pai gow to fighting crickets on the street, he is all bad."
"He also once told Commander Song that in his life, he will have good pleasure and be happy."
When Chu Qingxiao said this, Xu Yixiu frowned, looked at Chu Qingxiao and asked in an unkind tone, "Chu Qingxiao, what do you mean?" ”
"How can you slander my father like this?"
"My father has always been diligent and thrifty, this is obvious to everyone in Jianyue City, when has he ever been greedy for pleasure?"
Chu Qingxiao shook his head when he heard the sound and said, "The young city lord misunderstood what I meant. ”
"I mean that the city lord Xu who liked to have fun back then can become the conscientious appearance he is today, which shows that the city lord Xu is indeed a person with a tenacious heart and a person who is beyond ordinary people."
"And it must be true that Jianyue City can regain its majesty."
"Otherwise, with his previous playful nature, there is a way to turn everything in Jianyue City into money in his own hands for his own enjoyment, where does he need to be as conscientious and cautious as he is now?"
Chu Qingxiao's words eased the displeasure on Xu Yixiu's face, who was about to be angry.
Although she was a little strange why Chu Qingxiao praised her father, she was quite satisfied with the other party's evaluation.
She glanced at Chu Qingxiao, but felt that this guy didn't seem to be as annoying as before.
"You're reasonable."
And when it came to this, Xu Yixiu simply said: "Since you also know that my father can afford to be the city lord of Jianyue City, then why don't you return the Long Xiang Seal to us?" ”
Chu Qingxiao suddenly stopped his pace forward at that time.
Xu Yixiu was stunned when she saw this, and secretly thought that her words had hit Chu Qingxiao's weakness, and the other party would speak ill of her.
She couldn't help but scold herself in her heart for being in a hurry.
But Chu Qingxiao, who turned around, did not have anger on his face, but a smile hooked up at the corner of his mouth and said.
"That's it."
"I'm afraid the young city lord will have to ask the city lord Xu."
