Chapter 421: Mother's Fragrance
After Xiao Qin received the news from the flying pigeon in the capital, she closed her eyes and thought about it, and did not speak for a long time.
Gu Yue'er looked at the letter in his hand, endured and endured, and finally spoke.
"Brother Qin, that Yan Shifan is very vicious, although it is to fight Xiao Feng, but just for the sake of the restaurant business, he directly poisoned six people.
Even killing his own people, such a person is difficult to go the same way. Brother Qin, the high priest died his beloved disciple last time, how can he send someone out of Miao Jiang again?"
Xiao Qin smiled gently, "Xiao Yue, who to go with is not always a choice for us.
The road is there, you go or don't go, others will go. It is difficult for all fellow travelers to reach the end together, just temporarily in the same direction.
It is common to wait for this common road, or to part ways, or to turn against each other. But that doesn't mean you don't leave."
As he was talking, Ke Zifan walked in, and Xiao Qin smiled and beckoned him to sit down and drink tea.
"I just want to go out to do something, Brother Fan, you accompany Yue'er to talk, let's take a walk.
Miao Jiang is so beautiful, Yue'er hasn't even gone out to the Great Tusi Mansion, I have too many things to do, and I don't have time to go out with her."
Ke Zifan's eyes lit up, and he nodded quickly, Gu Yue'er frowned slightly, but Xiao Qin glanced at her, and she nodded lightly in agreement.
Ke Zifan nodded gratefully to Xiao Qin and led Gu Yue'er out. Xiao Qin looked at the backs of the two and took a deep breath.
The high priest lived in a cave about ten miles away from the Great Toast's house. It is said to be a cave, and the decoration inside is also very comfortable and luxurious, not losing to the big toast house.
It's just that the ubiquitous frescoes on the walls, and the abundant use of red and black paints, make the huge cave look strange in luxury.
The high priest wore a silver crown on her head, sat on a thick animal skin, closed her eyes and cultivated, her pale face was as smooth as a girl, and there were only a few crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, revealing that she might not be young.
Xiao Qin walked into the cave and bowed to the high priest.
"Cousin, before entering the cave, I saw more than ten poisonous snakes swimming at the entrance of the cave, like dogs guarding the door. It can be seen that my cousin's Gu technique is getting more and more profound."
The High Priest glanced up at him, his voice cold and pleasant.
"The one in the high priest's house is your cousin, since I became a priestess, I have long broken off the family relationship in the world, you don't need to be close, just say what you have to say."
Xiao Qin smiled, and she was not embarrassed: "Cousin, you are sisters, the high priest and your sister are childhood sweethearts, I originally wanted to marry both, but I didn't want to cousin."
The high priest sneered, "I, a woman of the Xiao family, how can I be a concubine. Choose one of the two, didn't he choose her in the end, what is there to say! Stop talking nonsense, just say it."
Xiao Qin nodded: "Cousin, Yan Shifan has a letter and wants me to ask the high priest to send a person who knows Gu to the capital to help him deal with Xiao Feng."
The High Priest shook his head, "Yan Shifan is your ally, not mine. Driving the heart Gu, it is extremely dangerous, I am already dead Bai Gu, Qing Gu can't be lost anyway.
And after the heart Gu left Miao Jiang, he could only survive for a month. How difficult it is to refine the Heart Gu, if you can't get it back within a month, the loss will be too heavy."
Xiao Qin's face turned solemn: "Cousin, we are all descendants of the Xiao family, I am bent on recovering Daliao and reproducing the glory of the Xiao family, how difficult it has been along the way.
The wife of the big toast, with a husband and son, naturally ranked the Xiao family behind her husband and son, which is also human nature.
But could it be that my cousin worked so hard to become a high priest just to protect the Miao Jiang of the Great Tusi?"
The high priest's eyes flashed and looked at Xiao Qin, Xiao Qin only felt that her heart beat twice, and there was a blank in her mind for a moment.
The Bliss Divine Skill in his body naturally moved, as if he was blocking something formless and insubstantial, and instantly regained his consciousness and looked at the high priest with a smile.
"Cousin, what is this for?"
The high priest said lightly, "This is the power of the Heart Gu, let me let you experience it.
If the other party didn't eat the Heart Gu, it only relied on the poison emitted by the Heart Gu on the Gu cultivator
Su is unable to manipulate the other party, and can only temporarily lose his mind.
If the opponent has deep internal strength, or even strong will, it may not be effective. Unless you're using it on the elderly, children, or the sick.
If you really want to manipulate the other party, you can only let the other party eat the Heart Gu, and after manipulating, you will die of poison, and the Heart Gu will also die with the death of the host."
Xiao Qin pondered for a moment: "If you don't want to manipulate the other party, but just want to ask the secret hidden in the other party's heart, as long as the other party is weak or weak-willed, can you succeed?"
The High Priest nodded, "The old man's yang qi is already weak, the children's minds are not complete, and the heart Gu has the greatest power over them. Last time, why did they manipulate Wang Yingxiang to poison them?
At that time, they had the opportunity to play Gu, and there were two people who could get close to the kitchen, in fact, Liu Ruyun was easier to start.
But Liu Ruyun has independently supported Zuixianlou for many years, with a firm mind and good health. They are worried that they may not be able to control her if they are too far away from the courtyard wall!"
Xiao Qin nodded: "Cousin, if that's the case, please also ask your cousin to send Qinggu to the capital." You can be extra careful not to cause death.
It only needs to be determined by Yan Shifan a suitable candidate, find an opportunity to contact, and ask questions with the power of the heart!
Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, within a month, he will return to Miao Jiang, and he will never let Xin Gu die outside Miao Jiang."
The high priest pondered for a long time, waved his hand, and a strange chirp sounded in the air, and after a while, Qinggu walked into the cave.
"Qinggu, you go to the capital again, remember, Xin Gu and you will come back alive!"
In the capital, the weather is cold and snowless.
Shuntianfu posted a notice and read out the accusation, and the people suddenly realized that the person who poisoned him was a person from Taibaiju!
Seeing the male apprentice who bit his tongue and committed suicide, he appeared in the kitchen of the Drunken Immortal Building alive, and the people suddenly realized again that the torture in the Shuntian Mansion that day was acting!
Guo Jun, who has been scolded for a few days, is really tired, and he doesn't care much about the outside comments anyway. Something is sick and gone, hiding deep with fame!
Jiajing's special case this time, a year ago, Shi Zhenxiang was dragged to the street and beheaded in public!
According to the rules of beheading at that time, Shi Zhenxiang should have a full meal on the execution ground. Generally, this requires family members to deliver meals.
It's a pity that Shi Zhenxiang's wife heard that Shi Zhenxiang was arrested and put in prison from the quilt in the outer house, and she fell ill with anger at that time.
Shi Zhenxiang's two sons were busy fighting for family property, and they also heard that their father's case shocked Banzai, and no one dared to see them off.
The son is still like this, not to mention Shi Zhenxiang's apprentices. When he was a disciple, the apprentices were already dissatisfied, and they usually attached to him because they also liked his power.
Now that the trees are falling and scattered, and the apprentices can't avoid it, who wants to come and give him food in front of everyone?
As a result, it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon, and Shi Zhenxiang hadn't eaten a bite of food yet! The prisoner is in a hurry, and the prisoner is hungry and on the road, and it is taboo!
At this moment, Liu Ruyun walked over with a plate of dumplings and followed Xiao Feng. The supervisor breathed a sigh of relief, it doesn't matter who he is, someone can deliver food!
Shi Zhenxiang opened his mouth in surprise, he had already scolded the people he usually interacted with, but he never dreamed that it would be these two people who came to bring him food.
"You don't have to be pretended, I won't eat your food! Especially you, Xiao Feng, I was originally a good god of food in the capital, and it was because of you that I ended up where I am today!
I didn't have to take refuge in Yan Shifan! It was you, who had to help Liu Ruyun, rob my business, and rob my name, so I had to take refuge in Yan Shifan!"
Xiao Feng smiled, "That's right, so I'm here to send you." Although you are not a good person, you deceived your teachers and destroyed your ancestors, but you were not guilty of death.
It's a pity that you were used as a knife by Yan Shifan and killed six people. If you admit defeat early and get out of the capital like Tan Xinren, at least you can be a landlord or something."
Shi Zhenxiang no longer paid attention to Xiao Feng, and glared at Liu Ruyun with his eyes: "What are you doing here?" Don't you hate me the most? Fuck off!"
Liu Ruyun put the dumplings on the wooden pier in front of him
, and did not mean to feed him.
"I'm here to bring you food, first, because of you, I can know Xiao Gongzi;
The second is that over the years, although you have been squeezing the Drunken Immortal Building, after all, you have used commercial means, and you have not directly blackened our father and daughter.
Xiao Gongzi said, it is not easy for a person like you to abide by this rule, so take me to see you off."
Xiao Feng bowed his hand at him, smiled slightly, and turned to leave. Liu Ruyun took two steps closely, bowed her head and followed behind Xiao Feng, following in the same direction.
Shi Zhenxiang looked at Liu Ruyun's back, and suddenly remembered the girl who loved to talk and laugh many years ago when she first apprenticed under Liu Lie.
How many times did I secretly look at her back? I worked hard to learn the craft and let the master praise me, just hoping to hear her smile and praise, "Senior brother is amazing!"
But she didn't, because her craft was better than everyone else, and she would only say that I was stupid, and it took several times to learn a dish! I can't innovate yet!
Even so, I'm happy, what if I'm not as good as her? She is the daughter of the master, a rich lady, and she is just a poor apprentice, so she is not as good as her!
But why does she like Chen Zhonghou? Where am I worse than Chen Zhonghou? Why, why doesn't she like me? She looks down on me, and Master looks down on me!
They can look down on me, but they can't use Chen Zhonghou to humiliate me! I want to let them know, let her know that I can also be a god of food, and I can also open a restaurant!
Women should like the strong. Will she like me then, will she?
Shi Zhenxiang suddenly put his head on the plate, eating dumplings frantically, and when he finally raised his head, his face was full of oil juice, dripping down his face.
The onlookers thought they could hear a slogan, such as "Eighteen years later, another good man", but before the head flew up, they only heard one sentence.
", it smells so good!"
Shi Zhenxiang died, and the two sons would not be able to run the restaurant at all, and Taibaiju's own business was no longer good, so when Zhang Tianci offered a high price, the two were very happy to make a deal.
After all, restaurants are not easy to divide, silver is easy to divide, and discounting fixed assets is the most important step when dividing the family.
The signboard of Taibaiju was taken off and replaced with the sign of Zuixianlou, two restaurants, facing each other on both sides of the road.
Zhang Tianci also asked Lu Pingshan to build a very wide overpass on the second floor of the two restaurants, and the two restaurants were connected into one, which looked both magnificent and unique.
The overpass has a roof on it, which has become a verandah, and it can be walked in rainy and snowy weather. Best of all, when the spring flowers bloom, there are also many tables and chairs on the verandah.
Blowing the breeze, drinking a little wine, condescending, and having a wide view, that feeling is more beautiful and chic than in the second-floor room.
The New Year is getting closer and closer, and people are beginning to organize the New Year with joy. In this peaceful atmosphere, Qinggu quietly walked into Yan's mansion.
Yan Shifan's four-wheeled cart has been completed, completely modeled after Zhuge Liang's cart, with mechanisms such as wooden oxen and flowing horses.
Of course, it is impossible to transport food by autopilot as the legend says, and the real drawings of the wooden ox and flowing horse have long been lost, and the people in the craftsman hall can only guess and do it.
Although he couldn't walk by himself, the mechanism inside did make the car very light, and Yan Shifan could make the car walk with his hand shaking it. Look at the book
It's a pity that the efficiency of the hand crank is a bit low, and it belongs to the kind that charges for an hour and is happy for a few hundred meters, so it usually depends on people to push.
Yan Shifan sat on it, cranking the folding fan, if you ignore the short lower body, it is really a bit of Zhuge Kongming's lupine scarf.
"Immortal Gu, last time Immortal Gu entered Beijing with Shao Tusi, but unfortunately I had to avoid suspicion and couldn't see each other, so I deeply regret it.
But last time, the fairy Gu used the heart Gu technique to turn the Xiao Mansion upside down, and Yan admired this kind of means.
Yan has always advocated that Miao Jiang should be treated favorably, and he and the holy envoy Xiao Qin are also in good faith, and it is for the benefit of both of us to invite the Immortal Gu to come to Beijing to help this time."
Qinggu nodded: "Young Master Yan, I heard that you were so harmed by Xiao Feng that you even lost your official position, don't be polite, I only have been here for a month, hurry up and get down to business."
Yan Shifan was choked and rolled his eyes, and said in his heart that she was also a Miao girl, and she was also engaged in rebellion work, why was this so simple and rude?
Don't you know that rebellion requires calmness? Look at how good it is, work hard, keep your hands steady, and your mouth tight.
"I've asked people to make a list of people related to Xiao Feng, and gradually I've told me that the elderly and children are first!
These people, Xiao Feng is very convinced, and there must be some secrets that they know. The more I know Xiao Feng's secrets, the easier it will be to kill him!"
Qinggu nodded, took the list in Yan Shifan's hand, and glanced at it.
"The old man who guards the door is easy to contact, and the people in the world view are ...... I heard that the guards on the WTO are very strict, will there be a problem?"
Yan Shifan nodded with satisfaction, this is the caution that a rebel should have, he has been prepared for this.
"On the side of the WTO accession, I sent someone to inquire. The child named Xiaodong on the list often goes to the back mountain to collect medicine for Lao Dao.
In the concept of WTO accession, she has the deepest relationship with Lao Dao, and the relationship is the closest, if Lao Dao knows any Xiao Feng's secret, she is the most likely to know.
Houshan is not as close as entering the WTO, you just need a little time to ask, and you don't want to arrest her and harm her, there's no problem.
As for the other people in the view of joining the WTO, the people of the fire industry never go out to watch, they can only look at the opportunity. Zeng Zao went back to his home every day, and there were many opportunities."
Qinggu nodded, put away the list, and gradually led her through the secret door into the secret room to rest.
Yan Shifan said uneasily: "Immortal Gu, in the capital, there are many Jinyi Wei secret piles. Although I didn't see the face of the fairy girl last time, I still can't take it lightly.
You must remember that when you act in the capital, your hands must be steady and your mouth must be tight!"
Xiao Mansion, at the gate, a woman selling flowers, carrying a flower basket, walked to the gate and knocked lightly.
Qi An opened the drawer on the small door and showed his face: "Girl, I bought flowers in the house in the morning, why don't you come early tomorrow?"
The Xiao Mansion is rich and generous, and many girls who sell flowers are willing to try their luck in the Xiao Mansion. The dark stake of the Jinyi Guard will not react to this either.
The woman picked up a flower and said, "Uncle, you see how fragrant and beautiful this flower is, so let's buy a few more for the ladies and ladies in the house."
Qi An thought about it, seeing that this woman is in her twenties, she is considered to be older among the flower sellers, and she is still showing up, so it is not easy to think about it.
He reached into his arms and took out the money, but suddenly his movements stopped, and his eyes became a little distracted.
"What is Xiao Feng's secret to be hidden?"
"Master? I don't have any secrets, sir."
"What's the secret in the house?"
"Furi? Miss Zhang and Miss Wang both wanted to be concubines for the master, but Miss Wang didn't come after being poisoned last time, and Miss Zhang cried and laughed......
"Huh? Xiao Feng has secrets about men and women?"
"The master seems to like Qiao Niang...... Shhh
Qi An's eyes gradually began to condense, and the woman's forehead had begun to sweat, and the brocade guard in the distance glanced at this side for the second time.
The woman stuffed the flower into Qi An's hand and turned to leave.
Qi An came back to his senses, looked at the flower in his hand, and sniffed, "Well, it's indeed more fragrant than the one I bought in the morning. Well? Did I give the money?"
