Chapter 70: Dongcheng Alley
Leaving the end of Tielin Avenue, Qin Tao followed Li Rongrong to board a carriage that had been waiting at the door for a long time.
Sitting in the carriage, looking out the window at the virtual shadows of the streets and alleys, Qin Tao had an indescribable joy in his heart. This trip was indeed not in vain, not only did he succeed in the test, but he also unexpectedly became an honorary elder of the guild, and even won a thousand gold coins.
Li Rongrong sat beside Qin Tao, looked at the black shadow hanging from the brim of her hat, and asked in a low voice, "Are you really not going to participate in the smelting competition?"
Gently taking off his hood, Qin Tao combed his long hair that was a little messy, and shook his head at Li Rongrong: "I don't want to." ”
"Are you afraid that others will see your smelting method?"
Qin Tao nodded heavily and said no more.
Li Rongrong sighed lightly, put her jade hand on the young man's shoulder, and said softly: "If you don't want to, you must have unspeakable hardships, and my sister won't force you." ”
Looking at the approaching beautiful face, the corners of Qin Tao's mouth were slightly curved and he smiled happily, but his heart jumped up in that refreshing fragrance.
The carriage did not drive back to Dantianxia, but entered a relatively remote residential alley in the south of Dongcheng. After a few turns, the carriage came to a slow stop in front of a small courtyard.
Following the car window, Qin Tao saw that it was a not very large courtyard, with a high courtyard wall surrounding three huts and a willow tree, and only a door of nearly two meters was opened in front of the carriage.
Li Rongrong patted Qin Tao's shoulder and asked with a smile, "Brother, do you want to live with your sister?"
"Live here?" Qin Tao turned his head and looked at Li Rongrong in some surprise.
He originally thought that as Li Rongrong, he would definitely live in an extremely elegant and high-end place, but he didn't expect to choose such a quiet and remote ordinary residential house.
"What's the matter?"
Qin Tao shook his head, hunched over and jumped out of the car, and walked into the courtyard first.
Li Rongrong looked at the young man and shook her head slightly, but the smile on her face was still there, and then she stepped out of the carriage with the help of the coachman.
With a slight wave of his hand, the coachman hurriedly bowed to Li Rongrong, and then boarded the carriage and galloped away.
Then, Li Rongrong smiled and walked into the courtyard elegantly with her jade hand in front of her.
Qin Tao stood in the courtyard, tilted his neck and looked at the hut, listened attentively to the movements around him, and nodded unsatisfied.
Li Rongrong walked over, gently put her arm on the young man's shoulder, and asked, "Are you satisfied?"
Pointing to the hut on the left, Qin Tao said with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth: "Sister Rong, I will choose this one." ”
This choice was carefully weighed by him, the middle room was larger and the decoration on the surface of the house was very new and exquisite, needless to say that it must be Li Rongrong's room.
Although the one on the right was extremely ordinary, it made Qin Tao feel nervous, as if there was some great danger there.
Neither room can be occupied, so only the one on the left is left. The hut on the left side is a real private house, which makes Qin Tao feel very comfortable.
"Little one, now we start choosing a house. Li Rongrong scolded with a smile and continued: "Okay." That's yours. ”
"Then thank you, Sister Rong!" Qin Tao said and wanted to run to the hut.
"Hey!" Li Rongrong pulled the momentum, and the jade hand pulled Qin Tao with a slight force, and said, "Don't worry, I'll let the next person clean up the house first, you come to my room first." With that, he pulled Qin Tao towards the house in the middle.
Qin Tao was not busy, and let Li Rongrong pull him, but the moment he entered the door, he suddenly felt that there seemed to be a figure in the darkness of the courtyard.
The appearance of the house seems to be very small, but the internal space is very large, as soon as you enter the door, there is a small hall, vermilion pillars, brocade curtains, rosewood fairy tables and chairs, rare antiques, famous calligraphy and paintings, where is still an ordinary house can have.
Qin Tao took off his hood and looked at the "Cave Sky" inside the house in surprise that was diametrically opposed to the outside, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Being pressed on the fairy chair by Li Rongrong, Qin Tao admired the elegance of the room and thought about what kind of scenery it would be to lead to the back hall, and at the same time exclaimed: "Sister Rong, your room is ......."
Li Rongrong smiled, took off the light veil on her face, and quipped, "Isn't it very unexpected." Actually, I was very surprised when I came, but this was all arranged by the head cabinet, and I had to go against the grain. ”
Qin Tao pursed his lips and replied angrily: "What are you showing, hum!"
Li Rongrong turned her hands into claws, smiled evilly, rushed to Qin Tao and immediately pinched his neck, and said, "Boy, you are impatient, look at my sister, I won't repair you well!"
Although the words sounded vicious, the pair of jade hands never used force, but Qin Tao also cooperated, immediately blushed, stretched out his tongue and begged for mercy...... My sister murdered my brother...... Ahh
Being made by Qin Tao, Li Rongrong sneered, and the jade hand that let go of her neck gently slapped the young man, pretending to be angry: "Is it that serious?
Qin Tao stuck out his tongue at her, then smiled, left the chair, and circled around the small hall admiringly.
Li Rongrong sat down on the fairy chair of the main seat, looked at Qin Tao who was looking at the house like shopping, and said, "Brother, your dagger blade and jade handle will be handed over to me first, and I will order someone to find a good craftsman to help you assemble it." ”
Hearing this, Qin Tao turned around with a smile, came to the table in a few steps, put Han Feng and the jade handle on it, and bowed slightly to Li Rongrong: "Then there is Sister Lao." ”
"You're so polite with me. Li Rongrong smiled, "By the way, brother, what are your plans in the future?"
His eyes were fixed on the extremely intricately carved ceiling, and his fingers touched his chin and replied, "Hmm...... It's nothing more than finding the right place to practice. ”
"Do you have a goal?"
Lowering his head, Qin Tao shrugged his shoulders at Li Rongrong, and said a little helplessly: "I haven't thought about it yet." ”
Hearing this, Li Rongrong's eyes lit up, and she seemed to be a little happy in her words: "Then follow my sister first, my sister's next trip will be to Yanjing of the Purple Moon Empire." ”
"Yanjing?" Qin Tao hesitated and frowned slightly.
"Is there anything inconvenient?" asked Li Rongrong with a little surprise.
Qin Tao shook his head and responded, "No, I just haven't thought about whether to go to Yanjing yet." ”
Li Rongrong smiled heartily, handed a red fruit in the fruit bowl to Qin Tao, and said, "It's okay. My sister won't go to Yanjing until half a month later, so you can think about it during this time. ”
Taking a bite of the red fruit, the sweetness suddenly flowed into his mouth, and Qin Tao was enjoying the sweet feeling while thinking about his next plan.
At this time, a young maid walked in gently, bowed to the two sisters and brothers, and said, "Pavilion Master, the young master's room has been cleaned up. ”
Qin Tao bit down the flesh of the fruit and stopped halfway, looked at the maid in surprise and turned his head to look at the smiling Li Rongrong, his eyes couldn't help blinking a few times.
Li Rongrong understood what Qin Tao meant, and said with a smile: "I am the pavilion master, you are the younger brother of the pavilion master, and it is also appropriate to call you young master." Okay, don't be in a daze, the house is cleaned up and let Xiaoyu take you to have a look. ”
Swallowing the bitten flesh indiscriminately, Qin Tao smiled at Li Rongrong, and then followed the maid Xiaoyu out of the room.
Li Rongrong smiled at the figure of the young man leaving, her eyes were full of joy and love.
Suddenly, a half-crouching black figure quietly appeared in the corner of the small hall, which immediately made Li Rongrong's smile disappear, and her eyes were cold.
I saw that the black shadow was on the ground with his right hand, and his head covered with black cloth was slightly lowered, and he made a hoarse and respectful voice: "See the pavilion master!"
Li Rongrong nodded in acquiescence, staring at the shadow of the segmented angle with icy apricot eyes, and ordered: "Find a good craftsman to combine this dagger blade with the jade handle, you must be fast." Also, this letter must be delivered to the city lord quickly, do you understand?" As she spoke, the woman's jade hand flashed, and she threw out an extremely tightly wrapped letter.
The black shadow took the letter, clasped his fists respectfully at Li Rongrong, and said, "Subordinates obey!" After speaking, the black shadow flashed and left from the declination. And just as he was leaving, a black light instantly wrapped the dagger blade and the jade handle, and left with the black shadow.
Li Rongrong picked up the porcelain cup on the table, gently blew the tea powder on the water, and nodded with satisfaction.
......
Qin Tao likes this room very much, although it does not have the luxury feeling of Li Rongrong's room, but it also has a few pleasantness, mainly because the sound insulation of the room is very good.
Nodding with satisfaction, he sat down on the soft bed for a few moments, and then asked the maid at the door, "Your name is Xiaoyu?"
The maid didn't say anything, just nodded, and answered.
Qin Tao didn't care either, and continued to ask, "Are you my sister's maidservant?"
Still speechless, Xiaoyu just shook her head gently this time.
Qin Tao shrugged his shoulders helplessly, thinking that this maid had been trained to be so cautious and silent, so he fell onto the bed, waved his hand at the maid who was no longer visible, and said, "You go down." ”
I don't know if the maid saluted him, but when he heard the sound of the door being closed, Qin Tao weakened his breath slightly, and listened quietly inside and outside the four walls.
After confirming that everything was safe, Qin Tao turned over and sat up, put Dongdong who was sleeping in his arms on the bed, and took out the Demon Sword Emperor Tribulation from the soul ring.
