Chapter 274: Lin Qi's Decision
The silver knife slowly sliced through a fragrant veal steak, and a trace of red blood slowly seeped out. Lin Qi picked up a piece of veal and put it in his mouth, and the rich aroma of beef made Lin Qi so comfortable that his pores all over his body expanded.
It's a private basement, not very big, but big enough for two or three people to live. The walls are covered with oak wainscoting, and the teak base is so clean that it can almost be used as a mirror. The room has a bed, a table and matching chairs, and two rows of bookshelves with dozens of popular novels and romance poems.
Aunt Lily sat across the table and smiled as Lin Qi ate a three-pound veal steak. Lily laughed so much that her eyelashes exploded, this is the appetite that Young Master Lin Qi should have, a manly man, you must be able to eat, drink, and have a good appetite to have a good body, otherwise how can you have the strength to pick up a big knife and cut people?
"Young Master, hurry up and eat! Aunt Lily has made you a lot of delicious things! Eat and eat, hurry up!" Aunt Lily happily picked up a barrel of beer, slapped the lid of the beer barrel off, and poured a full glass of wine into the big wine glass the size of a human head in front of Lin Qi.
Lin Qi's mouth was stuffed with fragrant veal, he snorted a few times in a vague way, then took a big sip from his wine glass, and rushed the beef into his stomach with a refreshing beer. Touching his belly hard, the effect of the bone marrow transformation potion was very powerful, the beef that Lin Qi had just eaten had almost been digested, his spine was warm, and he could feel that some wonderful changes were happening.
"How's it going out there?" asked Lin Qi as he cut a piece of beef and ate and drank heavily.
Aunt Lily pursed her lips disapprerovingly, she clasped her hands in front of her chest and sneered indifferently: "Just now Baal went out for a turn, and the enchantment that blocked the entire imperial capital has not yet retreated, and there are more and more church gods who have arrived, and there are more and more court mages. The earth rats in the imperial capital have all been dispatched, and the Thieves' Guild and the Assassins' Guild have sent a large number of people to find the young master. ”
Tilting her head, Aunt Lily snorted coldly: "But there's nothing to worry about, isn't it just to kill a few people?" When the rumors have passed for a while, young master, you will leave the imperial capital and go to the sea for a few years, the men of the Black Tiger family, where is there anyone who doesn't go to the sea to practice?"
Stretched out his hands and kneaded Lin Qi's rich face vigorously, Aunt Lily said bitterly: "What a cute little young master! You are still old now, and your body bones have not yet grown! After a few years, young master, when you grow up, this appearance will change a little, plus the wind and waves at sea make your skin darker a little bit, and if you lose a little more weight, young master, you can come back with a different name, who knows that the little young master at that time is today's Xiao Lin Qi?"
Lin Qi nodded vigorously, eating and drinking more and more happily.
As long as he wasn't caught by the Punishment Knight on the spot, Lin Qi had nothing to fear. With the means of the Black Tiger Family, as long as Lin Qi leaves the imperial capital, he doesn't need to return to Dunerke at all, and he can take the family's sea ship to sea in any port on the northern coastline and go to sea to be a free pirate leader!
took his brothers to laugh proudly at sea for three or five years, and when he was almost tempered, as Aunt Lily said, his appearance and body shape have changed, and when the time comes, he will change his name and come back. There are many people with wanted warrants on the heads of the members of the Black Tiger Family, and Aunt Lily's wife, isn't Uncle Hammer, the number one thug of the Black Tiger Family, being wanted by the Imperial Capital Garrison Department?
But looking at Uncle Hammer's eating, drinking, and having fun every day in Dunerke, what can the Imperial Capital Garrison do to him?
The mood is relaxed, and the appetite is more and more vigorous. Coupled with the effect of the medicine, Lin Qi heartily killed thirty catties of veal steak and drank three barrels of beer, then put down the knife and fork with satisfaction, and exhaled comfortably.
Aunt Lily handed Lin Qi another cigar, and then struck a match to light a cigar for Lin Qi. Lin Qi took a long puff of cigar comfortably, exhaled a big smoke ring vigorously, and lay back on the chair very comfortably. After humming a few unfinished tunes, Lin Qi suddenly remembered something, he took off his boots and socks, took out a large amount of gold coins from the ring and handed them to Aunt Lily.
"These gold coins were secretly distributed by Enzo and Vic to their brothers, and recently they were all obediently left at home to pretend to be good citizens, and never come out to make trouble again. They have killed so many punishment knights, 20,000 gold coins per head, I am talking about it! This money is enough for them to live comfortably for a long time, tell them that they are not allowed to come out and move unless they receive my order!"
Aunt Lily stuffed the gold coin into the ring on her hand, she patted Lin Qi's shoulder hard, and looked at Lin Qi with great approval: "Sure enough, it's the little young master of the Black Tiger family, a manly man, just to talk and count! Of course, 20,000 gold coins for a head, this price is a little expensive, but young master, you have already spoken, you must do it!"
Aunt Lily puffed up her chest and said triumphantly: "A manly man, you can do murder and arson, but there is only one thing you can't do, and that is to be untrustworthy! If you lose your trust to your subordinate brothers, how can your brothers believe your words in the future?"
Lin Qi raised two thumbs up: "Aunt Lily, that's exactly right! So you hurry up and give the gold coins to Enzo and them! But don't go out in person, your body is too eye-catching, and you must have a copy on the wanted warrant now!"
Aunt Lily snorted, and she grunted for a while about what it was like for her aunt to tear up who and who, and then moved her huge body out of the basement.
Lin Qi cocked Erlang's legs, smoked his cigar comfortably, and suddenly sighed heavily.
It seemed that Professor Cohen's kindness could not be appreciated. The future Chancellor of the Exchequer of the Empire, of course, there is a certain attraction to the position. But now that such a big thing has happened, it is impossible for Lin Qi to continue to stay in the imperial capital, he can only escape from the imperial capital far away and go to the sea for a few years.
The Hermit Society of the Mountains, Professor Cohen, thinking of these people he knew in the past few days, and seeing these things, Lin Qi was also a little gloomy. He always felt that if he followed Professor Cohen, he would have a very wonderful picture open in front of him. But as soon as the matter of punishing the Knights appeared, he had no choice but to live up to Professor Cohen's hospitality.
But that's okay, to hell with the position of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Uncle Lin Qi is going to the sea to be the biggest pirate leader, and in the future he will return to the imperial capital with dignity, and when he comes back, the person who gave him a grievance to eat today will be punished!
No one can escape!
took out a copper and played with it on his finger, Lin Qi sighed faintly: "If you go to the Assassins' Guild and offer a reward of one million gold coins for Arthur's life, I wonder if anyone can do it?"
The fingers moved dexterously, and the copper danced in the light with a pale yellow halo. Lin Qi squinted his eyes and pondered what happened today--what ability did Arthur have to make the Knights of Punishment dispatch so many people to arrest him? Even if Arthur took refuge in the church, how could he mobilize two thousand Knights of Punishment at one time in his capacity? There were even thousands of Ruling Priests and Priests of Punishment, how could he have so much power?
Who is he behind the scenes?
What is even more suspicious is that Kirk the Fat Bird once appeared in Titian's villa, and he was actually the head of the Silver Crescent Chamber of Commerce? Kirk the Fat Bird and Arthur had an adulterous affair, and Kirk the Fat Bird obviously wanted to be unfavorable to Ya and Ling, and Arthur hooked up with the people of the church, could it be said that Kirk and Arthur both colluded with the church? And they are both the same person?
"Daddy must be reminded that if that fat man really has the support of the church, his ambitions are not just in his old profession. ”
Lin Qi exhaled a puff of smoke, and gradually the smoke wrapped around his entire body, he frowned and looked at the oil lamp on the table, his fingers slowly tapping on the table. He had a guess in his mind, but he still lacked some information to connect them.
Arthur is making waves in the imperial capital, what does he want to do? If he just wants to become a big pirate leader and want to kill Lin Qi to take over the power of the Black Tiger family, then he doesn't need to make so many troubles. He is also in the church, and he is mixed with Fat Bird Kirk, but Fat Bird Kirk is still the head of the Silver Crescent Chamber of Commerce, so they are actually involved in some kind of connection with the imperial family.
"It's not like you Arthur still want to be a nobleman, right?" Lin Qi laughed mockingly, "That's too interesting." One-eyed dragon nobles?ha!"
Just as Lin Qi was thinking about these things, the stairs sounded, and Aunt Lily and Barr walked down with stern faces.
Lin Qi dropped his cigar and squinted his eyes and asked, "What's the matter?"
Aunt Lily looked at Barr and spread her hands helplessly: "Young Master, those damn gods, they couldn't find the young master, so they took away a few of the young master's friends." Enzo, the young man who had been to Dunrk, and the little guy named Vic, they were all captured!"
Baal sneered with a gloomy face: "They have posted official documents all over the imperial capital, saying that Enzo and Vic are heretics and sinners, and tomorrow they will be burned at the stake and burned in public!"
Lin Qi jumped up violently, and he slapped the table into countless pieces.
"Bastard, are they trying to force me to play with them?"
Lin Qi was extremely serious and uncompromised in anger.
Arthur, you can do all kinds of small things against me, and I can use all kinds of means against you, but if you involve my friends and my brothers because of you and me, then don't blame me for being too ruthless!
Lin Qi's face turned dark, and a layer of frost could be scraped on it, and he walked out of the basement without saying a word.
It was already dark, and there were still countless mages and priests suspended in the sky, and Lin Qi walked straight in the direction of Shenghui Cathedral. (To be continued)
