"Old man, in fact, we came here this time mainly to inquire about someone. Li Qi said.

Su Ling scratched his head on the side, thinking that he was finally going to get down to business.

After the eight old men beckoned a few people to sit down, the twelve people gathered around the small living room on the second floor, which was not empty, slightly crowded.

"Do you know that there was a cook named Sun Ping before Zixiao Tower?" Li Qi said.

"We don't know much about this," an old man said, "We are all in this Tianji Pavilion on weekdays, and we rarely go out, but it seems that there is indeed such a person in the past few years, who is very famous." ”

It is said that this person also created his own dish, called Ping'an soup, and I heard that it can even be ranked with Zixiao Spring Brew, which can be called another unique Zixiao. The old man continued, "But I heard that since that person disappeared, this dish has also been removed from the Zixiao Tower's menu. ”

"If Your Excellency wants to inquire about this person, why don't you inquire in Zixiao Tower, we eight old men know very little about things outside. ”

"I heard that this person's sister disappeared in Zixiao Tower for no reason, so I don't ask in Zixiao Tower, after all, ugly things can't be publicized, even if you want to ask, you can't ask a result. Li Qi said slowly.

"That's right," said the old man, thoughtfully, "by the way, you can go to that Ming Gongzi, he should know something." ”

"Ming Gongzi?" Li Qi groaned, got up and hugged his fists at the eight old men, "Thank you so much for the eight pavilion elders, by the way, in fact, I am only twenty years old." ”

Eight old men, you look at me, I look at you, all of them showed unbelievable eyes, "The eight of us have studied the Wonder Sutra and gossip since childhood, and they are only worthy of such achievements, if Your Excellency is really twenty years old, then it is really a generation of geniuses." ”

"Hey, thanks for the compliment, farewell. Li Qi smiled at the eight people, clenched his fists and walked downstairs, took two steps and turned back, "I'll take Yaoyao away in a while, I don't think you mind, right?"

"If Yaoyao is willing, we will naturally not force us to stay. The eight old men bowed to Li Qi in unison.

......

Li Qi and the four of them went downstairs, and saw Yaoyao standing in the corner of the living room, staring ahead with dull eyes, not knowing what they were thinking, so that they didn't even notice that the four of them went downstairs, until Li Qi walked up to Yaoyao with a smile, Yaoyao came back to her senses, and a pair of big eyes just glanced at Li Qi, then lowered her head, her eyelids drooped, covering the beautiful big eyes, leaving only a small slit.

"Yaoyao, you come with me. Li Qi stood in front of Yaoyao, his voice slightly bewitching, "I promise to be good to you." ”

"Ask Gongzi to let Yaoyao go," Yaoyao bit her lip lightly, still lowering her head, and didn't look at Li Qi.

"Oh, I can't let it go," Li Qi muttered, and then said triumphantly as if he had thought of something good, "If you want to let it go, you won't let me go, you let me see you for the first time, you don't plan to let me go." ”

Li Qi's words were so wonderful that Su Ling on the side couldn't help but applaud, I really can't wait to take a small notebook and write it down, there is a saying that it is better to have a good memory than a bad pen, after writing it down, go back and say a few words to Chen Ziye, wouldn't it be to move her to the point that the sea is dry and the stone is rotten to death.

But this incisive sentence didn't seem to move Yaoyao, Yaoyao still lowered her head, "Please respect yourself, son." ”

Li Qi suddenly looked like a deflated ball, and muttered, "What, wasn't it good when we ate before, we weren't very happy together, and now you want to go with me, you don't want to." ”

Yaoyao lowered her head and did not speak.

"You speak, Yaoyao, do you have a trace of liking for me in your heart?" Li Qi's voice became deeper and lower, without the slightest hint of his previous pride, as if he had gradually become weak because of Yaoyao's silence, "What do you mean by not speaking?"

Yaoyao just shook her head, still silent.

"Forget it, forget it if you don't leave, I'm going to get down to business now, you think about it for a while, I'll come back after a while," Li Qi shook his head and sighed, turned around and walked out the door.

After Su Ling and the three of them followed Li up, they also walked out of the gate of Tianji Pavilion.

Interestingly, when Li Qi pestered Yaoyao to speak, Yaoyao always lowered her head and didn't look at Li Qi, but when he got out of the gate of Tianji Pavilion, Yaoyao stared at Li Qi's back again, Li Qi walked to the street, turned around, and disappeared from Yaoyao's sight.

Another maid beside Yaoyao suddenly came to Yaoyao's side and said with a smile, "Do you like that son?"

Yaoyao just shook her head, looking at the bluestone slab in front of the door, which no longer had Li Qi's back, and was stunned.

......

After Su Ling and the four of them left the Tianji Pavilion, the three of them on the road saw Li Qi sullen, and they also understood that this was not the time to laugh at him, so the road was quiet.

The atmosphere in Zixiao Tower is still the same, as if more guests came after the four of them left, and Su Ling and the others went back and forth, which made the maid feel interesting At the same time, she remembered that the four of them had eaten a lot before, and she couldn't help but think in her heart, these foodies wouldn't be hungry again, and they would come over for another meal, right?

"Hello, hello. The corner of Su Ling's eyes inadvertently glanced at the opening part of the maid's chest, and said with a smile, "Is that Ming Gongzi on the second floor?"

"Do the four princes want to see Ming Gongzi?" after the maid gave a salute, "let me go up and make a report." ”

The four of them stood on the first floor and waited quietly, maybe because of the previous opening of the bottle of Zixiao Spring Brew, there seemed to be many people in the hall who knew the four of them, and they pointed at Su Ling and whispered something to the four of them.

Su Ling's heart moved, and he pulled Li Qi and the three of them to sit down on a round table that was not yet full, and there were three other people sitting on the round table, who were also staring at the four people talking, and when they saw the four people sitting down, they were a little overwhelmed.

Su Ling smiled, arched his hand at the three of them, and said hello, "Three elder brothers, the four of us are foreign tourists, and I like to listen to some strange stories, I wonder if the three elder brothers know if there are any strange things here?"

The three of them looked at Su Ling in unison, and then at Li Qi, obviously having seen the matter of Li Qi inviting the eight elders of Tianji Pavilion before, so they didn't believe Su Ling's self-introduction, "Aren't the four of them the heirs of Tianji Pavilion?"

Su Ling was stunned for a moment, pointed at Li Qi, and hurriedly explained, "No, no, my brother has something to do with that Tianji Pavilion, otherwise the matter of the four of me opening Zixiao Spring Brewing without authorization really doesn't know how to end it." ”

"I see. The three of them looked at Su Ling with vigilant eyes, and didn't believe Su Ling's words, yes, who believes it, 600,000 taels of silver, can it be explained by a little relationship?

"The four of us want to ask today, do you know a person?" Su Ling went straight to the point.

The three of them didn't speak, they just looked at Su Ling with their eyes.

"Sun An. Su Ling continued to speak, "I heard that this person's sister has disappeared mysteriously in this Zixiao Tower, I don't know if there is such a thing?"

When the three of them heard this name, they all looked at the maids around them vigilantly, as if they were worried that the maids would listen to them, they each bowed their hands to Su Ling, and said almost in unison, "We don't know about this matter." ”

Su Ling followed their eyes and looked around, secretly saying that he was reckless, and it was really boring to ask about the disappearance of the cook's sister in this Zixiao Building.

"I'm sorry to disturb a few people eating. Su Ling wanted to understand this juncture, and didn't ask any more, secretly thinking in his heart that this group of people had eaten for a long time, how could they have eaten for an hour, could it be that they fell in love with the air conditioning of Zixiao Tower, and couldn't they escape the heat here?

When Su Ling got up, he suddenly heard a deep voice sound, "Four sons, if you don't mind, how about going upstairs with me Liu Ming?"

A few people turned around and looked, isn't this the Ming Gongzi, Su Ling secretly said This person is really not simple.

Originally, the maid went upstairs to ask, and Ming Gongzi only needed to send the maid to pass the news, but he didn't know that this person actually went downstairs to greet him, which is enough to imagine his attention to the four people, maybe the importance of the so-called heirs of Tianji Pavilion.

"So, thank you Ming Gongzi. Su Ling arched his hand towards Ming Gongzi, and casually pulled Li Qi, who was sitting on the chair with a depressed face.

As soon as Li Qi sat down, the whole person seemed to have lost all his strength, and the whole person was paralyzed in the chair, not saying a word, just staring blankly at the print on the table.

And when Su Ling pulled Li Qi up, his whole person was still in a trance, and slowly came back to his senses, still muttering something in his mouth, Su Ling listened closely, and only then did he hear it clearly, "Ask what is the situation in the world, and let people promise life and death." ”

Su Lingjue was a little funny, from knowing Yaoyao to now, it has only been a few hours, and this kid has promised life and death. At that time, I wanted to wake up this kid with a slap, but unfortunately this occasion was really not an occasion to beat people, so I had to pull Li Qi to walk upstairs with the Ming Gongzi. for a better user experience.
