No matter what they thought, Yuan and Yinxiao thought this speculation was ridiculous.

But now they are a little difficult to ride the tiger, and want to refute her "nonsense", but except for a few dry and weak angry rebukes, they can't speak the same way as her.

In this atmosphere of continuous silence that broke out at the slightest touch, Yuan Sui and Yinxiao were about to go out, intending to say that they would not win by mouth, and then they would suppress people with force, but someone broke the deadlock with a voice.

"I taught it."

Who?

Obviously, this voice did not belong to the people who were there to pull and argue, and it was even more unfamiliar to Zheng Quqi.

She turned her head and passed the silver owl that had been with her, and saw a man in a blue shirt walking over.

His hair was tied up in a hairpin, and there was no other frills, but the fabric on his body was soft and shiny like silk forging, and he was covered with a fox fur, on which the warm white light sprinkled, and his body was surrounded by a halo of faint cold smoke.

The man slammed into her eyes like this, and she felt a cold feeling that seemed to be infected from her clothes to her eyebrows, noble and cold.

Zheng Quqi also knew that there was a difference between people, but the aura of the person in front of him was obviously different from that of the person present.

The main thing is to look at the temperament.

But what about his temperament?

Probably, they are working mud legs, and the other party is like coming to call the mud legs......

Zheng Quqi: "......" was stuffed by the adjectives in his mind.

However, no matter how good his temperament is, he can't stand his overly "plump" outfit.

Although it was winter, no one walked around outside dressed so exaggeratedly like him.

He was fully armed, wearing a hat, gloves, a scarf, and fur boots, and he wrapped himself tightly wherever there would be leaks.

It's like when people from the south go to the north for the winter, and they want to be covered with a quilt when they go out.

Yuan Sui turned around with the silver owl, and his expression changed several times.

"Li, Li?"

Aiming at the wound on his head, and hearing the not-so-unfamiliar title of "Li Shi", Zheng Quqi finally recognized him.

Isn't this the man she dug out from under the rock?

It's just that his face was either blood or gray at that time, and she didn't look at his appearance carefully at all, and she didn't take a thorough look at it until now.

"Master Li."

Mu Ke was stunned for a moment, hurriedly covered the look on his face, and stepped forward to salute.

"Your injuries haven't healed, why did you come here?"

Zheng Quqi has actually always felt very strange, what kind of person is this called "Master Li", didn't the county say that Jixia School only invited two craftsmen, Yuan Sui and Yinxiao?

Then this one who has not been ceremoniously introduced to his origins, but can make the arrogant Yuan and Yinxiao respect them, then this mysterious "Li Shi" must have its special features, and what is the significance of his project this time?

His complexion was clear and self-effaced, and he only nodded politely to the greetings of Yuan Sui and others, and only when he looked at Zheng Quqi, his eyes softened a little: "Sang Xuanqing, your name is right?" ”

Zheng Quqi was named in public, so he raised his eyes to look at him, this man looked like a good person, but her sixth sense always told her not to take it lightly.

"Yes, I've seen Master Li." She replied with a high degree of consistency with the others.

Seeing her like this, Li Shi seemed to be stunned for a moment.

"You saved me, you don't have to be so restrained in front of me." He spoke in a softer tone at this point.

Just now he had seen her look of arguing with reason, such a vivid and confident look, shining brightly, instead of being so false and polite and taciturn as she is now.

"Etiquette should not be abolished." She lowered her eyebrows, and now she was crepe.

It's not that she doesn't know how to pretend, but sometimes she is too lazy to maintain the reserve of a scholar, after all, her career choice is to deal with a group of craftsmen who are five big and three rough.

But in order not to be involved with this troublesome character, she decided to pretend to the end and keep a safe distance.

Li Shi: "......"

He seems to have just said, "I taught them."

Dangerous!

I'm afraid this person is not playing some trap, but she broke the mechanism, right? Zheng Quqi immediately made a decision and said: "The lunch break is almost over, I have to go to work, so I will retire first." ”

After she finished speaking, she was as agile as a rabbit, lowered her head and took a few steps back, and then pulled her legs to run.

But he didn't want this Li Shi to be like a sticky candy, so he left the group behind him and followed quickly.

She snorted, ready to pick up speed.

Don't underestimate the super physical strength exercised by working people.

But in the next moment, Li Shi's unhurried words made her accelerated feet sink.

"Sang Xuanqing, I know you're a woman—"

She turned her head suddenly, shocked by the fact that someone had smashed her nest, and when she saw that there was no one around, she rushed up and covered his mouth tightly, dragging the person to a place where no one was.

Her fierce face revealed: "What are you chasing me for? What are you talking about? What exactly are you going to do? ”

asked three times in a row, his tone was urgent and low, and he gritted his teeth and squeezed it out.

Li Shi pulled down her hand and saw that her eyes were lit with firelight, revealing her true feelings under false politeness, and then she was finally satisfied.

"You know the fortifications?" He asked.

Zheng Quqi rudely pulled out his hand and bared his teeth at him like a poor dog: "What do you want to do?" You don't want me to tell them that you're deliberately leading them to failure, do you? Everything is the right choice, but when put together, it becomes the most wrong choice. ”

Li Shi admitted that it was not violated: "Yes." ”

I thought that Li Shi would deny or not answer, but I didn't expect him to be so honest.

This sincere attitude made the full manuscript she had prepared jammed at once.

"Why?"

"Naturally, I don't want the city fortifications in Fuxian County to go smoothly."

Zheng Quqi was completely stunned by his frankness.

This man...... Could it be that he vomited the truth about what he ate, but he had to answer all the questions asked to him truthfully?

She stared at him suspiciously, and continued to ask tentatively, "Why?" ”

But Li Shi really seemed to be able to tell her the accurate answer no matter what she wanted to know.

"Because of Yu Wensheng."

"For ...... No, why are you asking anything, and you answer me honestly? Zheng Quqi is simply incomprehensible.

If you want to say that he deliberately lied in front of her, it's not necessary, she is not an important person, he doesn't want to answer and just doesn't reply, so why make up a set of rhetoric to convince her?

And Li Shi's next answer surprised Zheng Quqi again.

"Because I know you're not going to expose me."

Ha?

As soon as Zheng Quqi heard this, the reflex on his body was triggered: "Why do you think so?" ”

"Because I happened to know a great secret of yours before I told you this deadly secret." Li Shi replied.

Zheng Quqi suddenly said, yes, he just said that he knew that she was a woman......

Zheng Quqi didn't expect to save someone kindly, but accidentally exposed his identity as a woman.

She had only been in close contact with him once before, and without thinking about it, she could guess that she must have been found while saving people.

The situation was urgent and chaotic, and she didn't know how he was sure, but she knew she knew she would be discovered, and she didn't have time to think about it so much.

If she hesitates a little or runs a little slower, she may not be able to survive until now.

"I'm a little person, it doesn't matter if it's a man or a woman, but you bet me to shut up with such a big secret, isn't it hasty?" Zheng Quqi was already weighing how to sell him.

"You have no substantial evidence, even if you denounce it, if I don't admit it, you will be the one who suffers." What Li Shi said was very sincere.

Zheng Quqi: "......"

He made a good point, and she was speechless.

At this moment, she inadvertently saw that when he was arranging his sleeves, he revealed the corner of his undershirt, where a word seemed to be embroidered with purple thread.

Like a sign, and like a emblem...... I hadn't seen it, but between the thunder and flint, she suddenly remembered what Shan Bian had told her.

She blurted out: "Are you a public disciple?" ”

Li Shi's expression suddenly froze, but he didn't show any hostility, and only asked, "Why do you say that?" ”

Didn't deny it...... It's equivalent to acquiescence.

Zheng Quqi slandered, because I saw the secret emblem embroidered on the corner of your underwear, and it was hidden deep enough, if I hadn't pulled with him just now, I might not have found it.

Speaking of the public loser, she immediately thought of the disagreement between the Mo family and the public loser, and she was not sure how much hatred there was, but it was ironclad and could not be good, so she had a risky idea.

Her attitude changed, and she asked Li Shi and Yan Yuesheng, "Li Shi, can you do me a favor?" ”

Li Shi observed her quietly, and replied with a pleasant voice: "What are you busy with?" ”

She saw that he was not shocked whether she exposed the conspiracy or revealed his identity, and she couldn't help but speculate about the depth of this city.

But in any case, the stronger he is, the more he can help her now.

She lowered her face, with a sad face, and showed her true emotions without pretending: "Recently, I have been threatened, I don't know who they are, but they forced me to ......"

So, Zheng Quqi told Master Li with emotion, and the inner meaning was probably that an innocent craftsman (her) was coerced and killed by the dark forces (a cadre mainly composed of Qu Shi, etc.).

If she didn't obey, she would be scolded, but she was struggling and didn't want to kill innocent people, so she asked him for help.

As for what she was threatened to do, she directly vaguely said it in the past, without going into details.

After Li Shi listened to her words, his ink eyes were as quiet as ever, and he did not question the truth or falsehood, but responded in one mouth: "I will help you check the details of the other party, you don't have to worry." ”

Zheng Quqi was secretly happy when he heard this.

She imagined that when he found out that this matter was related to the Mo family, then the two of them would eat dogs, preferably these criminals who endangered the city defense project, and finally they would be discovered by Yu Wensheng and arrested in the county jail to eat prison food.

Zheng Quqi is now planning to part ways with these evil elements and completely draw a line.

She had thought about going directly to Yu Wensheng to report it before.

But she wasn't sure if Yu Wensheng knew that she was not only a fine worker of the Julu Country, but also a second and fifth boy sent by the Mo family, would he think that her "business ability" was too strong, and he would distrust her, and then get rid of her after the yin trouble was eliminated.

Zheng Quchi saw that he deserved to be happy, so he decided to spread out the matter and said: "I did save you before, but I didn't think about asking you to repay the favor, this time you found me, if you feel that you owe me and have to repay this favor, then this matter is over, and we will no longer be in arrears." ”

Li Shi still didn't have any expression on his face, as if he had installed a sturdy fake face, only his eyes were turbulent, and the white spring was frozen.

He did not respond to her words, but asked something else: "What are you pretending to be a man to build the walls for?" ”

The answer to this question is "money." ”

Li Shi also believed it, because he had investigated some of her affairs.

"If it's money...... I heard that you are good at carpentry, and the earthenware you make is also remarkable, just in the early spring of February, the Jichun Craftsman Union of Julu Country is about to be held in the first three years, why don't you go with me to participate? "Li Shi has already started to find another way to make a living for her.

He knew that Fuxian was about to fall into danger, and there were eggs under the nest, so he was arranging a retreat for her in advance, at least one of her, he wanted to protect her.

It sounds like a mouthful.

"What?"

"Jichun Craftsman Union, it is held every three years, seven countries will participate, and the participants are skilled craftsmen from all over the world, there is no grading level, as long as the works are selected, they can get the corresponding remuneration."

"How many?" She asked subconsciously.

Julu Country, the mention of this country reminds her of Mo Ye, and thinking of Mo Ye reminds her of his love and hatred with "Sang Xuanqing", so even if she knows how authoritative and beneficial this kind of guild organization is, she is somewhat reluctant.

"Primary, one gold."

The primaries all have a gold?!

"So many?" Her jaw dropped.

"The primary candidate can get a gold, and the semi-final winner will win again, and even the final winner, and the highest one will get the construction value of a city."

1. A city?!

The poor man could not hear this, and when he heard this, tears of longing flowed from the corners of his mouth.

"I—I'm going to participate!"

She snorted and waved her hand to dispel all her previous concerns.

She thought to herself, compared with making money, what kind of love and hatred can't be laughed at?

"Who's running it, though?" Julu Country, it won't be Moye, right?

Li Shi looked into her eyes and said a name: "If you lose, you lose." ”

Zheng Quqi didn't react for a while: "Who are you talking about?" ”

"Have you heard of him?"

She had not only heard of it, but was "lucky" to see it once.

But he was wrapped like a big white bear, and he didn't see his face.

She discovered that the current powerful people attach great importance to their personal privacy.

Just like Yu Wensheng, she has seen him so many times so far, but he wears a fierce mask the whole time, and she doesn't know what kind of murderous appearance he looks underneath without blinking.

"I've heard of it, but I've never seen it." She wanted to add a sentence.

"So, what do you think of him?" Li Shi was a little concerned about her opinion.

"Opinion?" Zheng Quqi thought for a while, and finally replied very pertinently: "Rich, very rich." ”

Li Shi: "......"

He asked himself, his biggest advantage should not be that he is rich.

Or in her eyes, she only sees the advantage of being rich if the "Jichun Craftsman Union" is held?
