Chapter 52: Snatching
"Brother Huang, why don't you continue to let them compete, the final winner has not yet been decided."
Bai Youyou's beautiful eyes flowed, and he turned his head to Huang Qilin on the side and smiled.
"That's pretty much it."
Huang Qilin admired the fiery red plum blossoms in the garden, and said in a gentle tone, "After all, the main purpose of today is to visit the garden and enjoy the plum blossoms, not to kill people and see blood." ”
"Little sister listens to Brother Huang."
Bai Youqiao smiled, thought for a while, took out two wooden boxes from his sleeves, and placed them on the table.
When the lid of the box was opened, there were four bright red pills neatly arranged inside.
Danmaru exudes an intoxicating aroma that instantly attracts the attention of everyone around it.
Huang Qilin's eyes flashed, and he said with emotion, "I didn't expect that the white girl would be so generous, just a small competition to help the fun, and she took out such a precious prize." ”
Bai Youyou's expression was calm, and he smiled slightly, "If Brother Huang needs it, Little Sister will offer it with both hands." ”
"I don't need it yet, I'll talk about it when I need it." Huang Qilin waved his hand, picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Zhou Mingyi, who returned to his seat, did not hide his fiery eyes, "I didn't expect Miss Youyou to use the Blood Jade Pill as a prize, I should have fought two more games just now." ”
Bai Youyou covered his mouth and chuckled, "Zhou Gongzi wants the Blood Jade Pill, just tell me directly, there is no need to be so troublesome." ”
As she spoke, she directly picked up a box on the table and handed it to Zhou Mingyi without hesitation.
Zhou Mingyi stretched out his hand and pressed the wooden box, "Since Miss Bai is so kind, then I have no choice but to smile cheekily." ”
Bai Youyou smiled faintly, looked at the remaining wooden box on the table, and then looked at the two people facing each other in the field,
After thinking about it for a while, he casually threw another piece of something out and placed it side by side with the wooden box containing the Blood Jade Pill.
Compared to those few crystal clear, jade-like pills, there was another thing that had no characteristics and could not attract attention at all.
It's a yellow flake.
It looks like a copper coin containing lead, but it is not in the shape of a round sky, but resembles a leaf with two slightly pointed ends and an oval middle.
Huang Qilin picked up this thin slice that looked like a gold leaf with some curiosity and put it in front of his eyes to observe it carefully.
He played with it and put it back in its place, and couldn't help but wonder, "White girl, what is this prize that was taken out later?" ”
"At first glance, it looks like a gold leaf, but to the touch, the material is different from gold, but more like wood chips, or bone chips."
Bai Youyou shook his head, "I don't know what they are, maybe they are decorations on some artifact." ”
"These are the gadgets I found from Master's study when I was cleaning on the mountain before, and I asked me to collect them as gold leaves, ready to use them to buy things when I go down the mountain.
As a result, Brother Huang also saw it, and I didn't finally find out until the end that this is useless garbage......"
A slight sly smile appeared on her face, "Anyway, I just gave the second Blood Jade Pill to Zhou Gongzi, and I only have this thing left on me that can be taken out as a gift, who is unlucky not to grab the Blood Jade Pill, then it's no wonder to me." ”
On the jousting field.
The eldest son of the Huang family has already spoken, which can be regarded as setting the tone for this competition.
Even though there were all kinds of anger and thousands of reluctance, Chen Chengshan could only disperse his qi and blood, leaned over and picked up his younger brother and retreated.
Moments later, the two were ushered closer to the main table.
And two pieces of silk cloth were placed before them.
On one piece is four blood jade pills, and on the other piece of silk cloth is a yellow fluttering "golden leaf".
"This is the prize for the winner of the competition, so you can choose for yourself."
Bai Youyou smiled and pointed to the two silk cloths on the table.
"Whoever gets it first will be the prize."
Chen Chengshan's eyes burst with light, and without any hesitation, he hurried forward and grabbed the four blood jade pills.
At the same time, his legs under the table were surging with blood, and a vague top knee hook kick was about to block Wei Tao's route forward.
Zhou Mingyi and the other three young people watched with interest, and some looked forward to the follow-up development.
Only Huang Qilin sat still, closed his eyes and recuperated, ignoring everything that happened in front of him.
Boom!
Chen Chengshan fell with one foot, but it was empty.
Stomped on the ground, and even the table shook slightly.
Grabbing the four crystal clear bright red pills in his hand, Chen Chengshan pulled a little distance to the side to guard against Wei Tao's interference and snatching.
Only then did he find that Wei Tao was still standing in place, and he didn't even move.
His expression looked strange, as if he was in a daze.
His eyes didn't glance at Chen Chengshan and the four Blood Jade Pills at all, and he looked straight ahead from beginning to end, not knowing what he was thinking.
Bai Youyou showed an inexplicable smile, "What is Wei Gongzi doing all the time looking at the table, is it because he doesn't like the remaining prize?" ”
"But there's no way, who made you move slowly, but you can also discuss it with Chen Gongzi after you come down and see if he can exchange rewards with you."
"No need, I'll just take another prize."
Wei Tao shook his head slowly, and stepped forward to put away the "golden leaf".
Chen Chenghai's eyes were cold, nailed to Wei Tao's face, and said silently, "You are dead." ”
Wei Tao looked at him and said silently, "I'll wait for you." ”
Wei Tao did not participate in the next banquet, and got into the carriage with Tan Pan and returned to the outer city.
When he came out of Meiyuan, through the gap in the car curtain, Wei Tao suddenly saw a familiar figure.
The man was still wearing a scholarly shirt, and he was still holding a folding fan in his hand in the cold weather, making a graceful gesture.
Wei Tao frowned slightly, remembering who this person was.
It turned out that it was the little lotus who showed its sharp corners, and the Virgin had already stood on his head.
If this guy hadn't intervened that day, he would have been able to recover his money bag at that time, and there would have been no series of incidents later.
People and cars staggered across the stone pavement, quickly disappearing at the end of the road.
"What is Senior Brother Wei looking at?" Tan Pan asked.
Wei Tao closed the curtains, retracted his gaze, and landed on Tan Pan's hand, "It's nothing, is Senior Brother seriously injured?" ”
Tan Pan said, "In this fight, I was injured to the foundation, and I need to recuperate for at least more than a month, and it depends on the follow-up recovery." ”
He sighed lowly, "I still can't figure it out, why the Iron Legs Sect would kill them in such a place and on such an occasion, and obviously we didn't have any festivals with them before......"
Wei Tao was silent, but what he was thinking about at this time was "red light Amaterasu, golden lotus surging ground".
There are also strange eyes that appeared in the outer city Yaoshi Lane and the inner city Plum Blossom Garden, what is the root.
If they're all related to the Red Lantern Club,
and then linked to the dried corpse that was drained of blood before,
Then that's a big problem.
It means that the entire Cangyuan City, whether it is the outer city or the inner city, has been shrouded in a thick haze.
Another direction.
The maid Xiaoyue was holding a fur in her arms and carrying a huge medicine bag, and hurriedly walked towards Mei Yuan.
Walking on the garden stone road, a figure wearing a long shirt and holding a folding fan came to him.
Xiao Yue's eyes suddenly lit up, and she took three steps and ran in front of the man.
There was an aggrieved expression on his face, and he pursed his mouth and blamed, "Brother Zhao, where have you been in the past few days, I finally called Miss Shang to your store twice, but you were not there." ”
The man's name is Zhao Yi, and he is a collateral descendant of the Zhao family among the five surnames in the inner city.
The family runs a teahouse in the inner city, and a half-old house, which is considered all the family property.
There are also many children like him in the inner city, not the three families, and not the blood of the five surnames, and they can still gain a foothold in the inner city from generation to generation, which is already a good result.
Some people lie flat and eat and drink all day long.
Others want to restore the glory of their own branch and return to the core of power and wealth in the inner city.
Zhao Yi belongs to the latter type of people.
He studied and practiced martial arts, and devoted himself to the camp, all with only one purpose, that is, to let himself occupy the ancestral hall of the Zhao family in the inner city again.
Then let those who are full of brains and intestines be in the vein, and spit out everything.
"Not only do you blame me, but you don't believe me." Zhao Yi looked around, and coaxed the little girl to be happy in a few words.
Not only did she forget to continue to ask questions, but she began to whisper softly about what had happened recently.
When the man saw the things in her hand, he couldn't help but be a little curious, "Miss Xiaoyue, what are you bringing here?" ”
Xiaoyue didn't hide anything, and told the cause and effect in 1510, and at the end she was still angry.
"Miss doesn't know what's wrong, it's just a mud leg from the outer city, it's worth her to pay such a price in return!?"
Zhao Yi took a deep breath, sniffed the rich medicinal fragrance in the bag, and felt that the qi and blood in his body were surging inexplicably.
"Miss Xiaoyue, did you say that the person in the outer city, does he know the gift that Miss Qu is going to give back?"
"He was sent away by the young lady early in the morning, and he knows what a fart." The more Xiao Yue spoke, the more excited she became, and even burst into foul language.
Zhao Yi nodded thoughtfully, and said, "Then do you think they will meet again in the near future?" ”
"Miss didn't take a fancy to him at all, and he still wanted to meet Miss again?"
Xiao Yue said and took a sip, "He can't even pass my level!" ”
Zhao You's eyes flashed, and a certain thought in his heart sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, quickly taking root.
This is a whole box of high-quality medicinal herbs.
Not to mention that there are still ten Tongmai Pills inside.
If he can take it, he may be able to break through the realm and coagulate blood in one fell swoop.
At that time, maybe Qu Sheng will look at him differently, and it will no longer be the same as before.
