Chapter 16: Porridge in the Morning

Although the ground is relatively hard, it is not very comfortable to lie down. But this sleep was the most soundly Zheng Ze's sleep, until the sunlight poured through the half-open window lattices into the wooden floor of the room.

When he opened his eyes, he saw Flame Spirit Ji sitting on the side, her legs folded, one hand supporting her head, and a pair of wonderful eyes looking at her with interest.

"Woke up?" She spoke.

Zheng Ze was not very adaptable, he was a little surprised by Flame Spirit Ji's attitude, and he didn't think much about it, nodded and asked, "What time is it?" ”

Looking out the window, the warm sun reflects the spring March on the ground, which is the season when everything is full of vitality, and the morning and afternoon sunlight is mixed with the fragrance of plants and trees, which is refreshing.

"It's past midday." Flame Spirit Ji said, then got up and walked to the window, completely opening the originally half-open window.

The warm sunlight spread all the way to the ground in the room with her movements, flooding Zheng Ze and making the light in the room brighter.

Frowning slightly, I slept really long this night. After getting through the initial discomfort, Zheng Ze got up and heard Flame Lingji say.

"The people of the Seven Peerless Hall have sent me breakfast, and I have already eaten it."

She pointed to the food box neatly arranged on the table, and after speaking, she sat aside again, observing Zheng Ze silently.

She knew that when Zheng Ze was sleeping by herself, he would always wake up occasionally at night, and at this time, after a good rest, his complexion was much better than before.

Compared with the previous heaviness, he now looks a little more energetic, and if you look closely, this person is quite delicate!

didn't care about what this woman was thinking for the time being, Zheng Ze went to wash up by himself.

The Seven Peerless Hall is used to entertain them in this place, the location is not bad, next to it is a street commercial street, the street is full of vendors, so at this time, the figures outside the window come and go, but it gives people a lively living atmosphere.

I think this is also one of the industries of the Seven Peerless Hall, relying on this place to collect some protection fees or something, although it is not a lot, but it is a long-term business.

Sitting in front of the table, I opened the food box, and saw that there were fish and meat, meat and vegetarian food.

"Their courtesy is very thoughtful." Zheng Ze sighed with emotion.

He hadn't eaten such a sumptuous meal since he came here. Although he doesn't care much about appetite, he can eat more delicately, and who wants to eat bran vegetables?

At this time, Flame Spirit Ji came over, looked at him and said, "Then you say, is this a gift for you, or a gift for me?" ”

"Yours yours, I'm a nobody, how can I let the Seven Peerless Hall be so courteous." He said as he stuffed his food into his mouth.

The meals were all hot and steaming.

Hearing this, Flame Spirit Ji gave him a roll of his eyes, "It's boring, but you're not a nobody." ”

How can a person who can analyze the current situation in South Korea so thoroughly be a nameless person?

Zheng Ze didn't explain, he was perfunctory, "The girl is good-looking, so what the girl says makes sense." ”

Pouting, Flame Spirit Ji watched him gobble up, after last night's conversation, she was obviously ready to contact him in a different way at this time.

"I want to know, what are you going to do next?" She asked, inquiringly.

Zheng Ze looked up at her strangely, this woman's temperament was really unpredictable, she was as cold as ice before, and domineering like a flame. Now it makes people feel as soft as water, gentle as a fine fire.

"Whether it's Ji Wuye or Han Fei, it's not something we can contact at the moment, even if you're very powerful, you can't even make a splash if you pounce into their chessboard."

For him to say this, Flame Spirit Ji's eyebrows moved slightly, but she didn't say anything.

"So the best way is to enter the game with subtleties, and the Scorpion Gate is a good breakthrough." Zheng Ze explained to her slowly.

Bowing slightly, Flame Spirit Ji thought slightly, "What about you?" What was the purpose of planning this from the beginning? ”

Last night was just a joke to ease the stiff atmosphere between the two of them, she wouldn't really think that a man with this kind of mind would plot in every way just to please her.

As soon as Zheng Ze was about to speak, the two heard a knock on the door. Immediately, the outsider spoke out:

"The Seventh Master invites Brother Zheng and Miss Flame Spirit Ji to talk about it."

Zheng Ze and Flame Lingji glanced at each other and slowly put down the chopsticks in their hands.

……

As the disciples of the Seven Peerless Sect walked all the way through the lively street, the number of passers-by in front of them was obviously much sparser, until they reached the corner of the street and stopped in front of a large courtyard.

In front of the door, there are also people from the Seven Peerless Hall, the area of the yard is very large, and the landscape of grass and trees, stones from other mountains, and small bridges and flowing water makes people can't help but appreciate the beauty in their hearts.

But when you walk in front of an ancestral hall, the scene is not so beautiful. There were many people lying in the open space on both sides, all of them were disciples of the Seven Peerless Sect, and there were still some blood stains scattered on the ground.

Someone next to them checked their injuries, and it was seen that some of them were seriously injured, but no one made a sound from the beginning to the end.

"The seventh master has prepared tea, please come forward."

A person walked out of the ancestral hall and said in a voice that was neither humble nor arrogant.

When he saw Tang Qi again, he was giving instructions to the people on the side, and when he saw him and Flame Spirit Ji coming, he sent them down.

Immediately, a kind smile hung on his pale face, "Little Brother Zheng, how was your rest last night?" ”

Zheng Ze smiled slightly, "Meng Qiye took care of it, and he had a good rest." But I look at you, Seventh Master, it seems that you don't have a good rest? ”

"Let the little brother see the joke, the hall has been busy lately, and my old bones have to move more." While greeting each other, he led the two to sit down.

Zheng Ze sat opposite the table, and as for Flame Spirit Ji, she looked left and right with her hands on her chest, and she was not ready to participate.

"Scorpion Gate?" At this time, there is probably only this one that can make the Seven Peerless Hall so busy.

Sure enough, Tang Qi nodded, "Last night, the people of the poisonous scorpion deliberately looked for trouble, and the people who ambushed us in the center of the city suffered heavy losses due to insufficient preparation. Those people outside, presumably the little brothers have also seen it. ”

Zheng Ze glanced at the scar on his forehead and nodded, "It seems that the situation is not good!" ”

"yes!" Tang Qi sighed, a worried look on his face, "Ever since they hugged the nobleman's thigh, they have become more and more arrogant recently. If we continue, I'm afraid we'll have to give up that piece of land in the center of the city. ”

The land in the center of the city is related to an important source of income for the Seven Peerless Hall, not to mention, once it is lost, it also means that the Seven Peerless Hall can only be passive from now on, and it is only a matter of time before it is eaten away.

When he said this, he had been paying attention to Zheng Ze's expression.

I thought about it for a long time last night, if I could really get the help of the two people in front of me, although it could not reverse the situation, it could also greatly alleviate the situation in front of me.

When I came to see the two of them today, I also had this in mind.

Zheng Ze nodded, "It's really troublesome." ”

Tang Qi's eyes flashed, and he still spoke: "What did the little brother say last night......

"Last night, because I was eager to save people, I said some big things, and I asked the seventh master not to take it to heart!"

Without waiting for Tang Qi to finish speaking, Zheng Ze hurriedly said.

I'll admit that I spoke a little louder, so please pretend you didn't hear me.

Tang Qi was a little stunned at this moment, what do you mean by this, you didn't say that last night.

However, as an old-timer who has been in the rivers and lakes for so long, he quickly adjusted his mentality.

"I don't know what the little brother means by that?" He put down the teacup and said slowly.

Originally, he was still hesitating, and after thinking about it, he finally made up his mind to cooperate with the other party, but when he got such an answer, he was inevitably a little unhappy in his heart, but he didn't show it.

Now that the situation in Xinzheng is complicated, now that the Baiyue woman has woken up and has the ability to protect herself, presumably he doesn't want to wade into this troubled water again.

"The one behind the scorpion gate, I don't say you know, begging for food on this one-third of an acre of land in Xinzheng has offended him, and we are all not happy."

Zheng Zepin held the fragrant tea in his hand, and continued after considering his words: "And this ...... of mine Well, my companion, who is being wanted from outside, is also difficult to do with people. ”

Hearing him say this, Tang Qi felt that he probably understood what the other party meant, and suddenly regretted why he didn't agree on the spot last night, otherwise it wouldn't be like this now......

The good qi cultivation kung fu made his expression calm all the time, although he was a little unhappy in his heart, but he still arched his hand.

"The meaning of the little brother is old and understandable, this muddy water is really not easy to wade. There is also a portrait of this girl on the official face, and the little brother still has to be careful. However, the Seven Peerless Hall is certainly critical at this time, but as long as the little brother stays in the north of the city, it will be fine. ”

Although the deal could not be done, he still decided to sell a piece of benevolence.

But Zheng Ze shook his head, "The Seventh Master misunderstood, what I said was that it was inconvenient for her to make a move, but I didn't say that there was no way to let the Seven Peerless Hall survive the current crisis." ”
