Chapter 55: Waiting for Darkness (I've been revising the new version these days, and the previous chapters are a little different)
His eyes were deep, he pondered for a long time, and muttered to himself, "Hehe, I see!"
Xia Qingxue was originally walking around Qi Tian, but after hearing his voice, she jumped up, instantly came to Qi Tian's side, and asked excitedly, "Brother-in-law, do you have a way?"
Qi Tian didn't answer, but turned his head to look at Xia Qingxue and asked, "You were five or six steps away from me just now, and you can hear me so quietly?"
Xia Qingxue opened her eyes wide, nodded seriously, and said, "I am a martial arts master, and I can hear the slightest sound within fifty steps!"
Qi Tian frowned, and suddenly remembered a sentence from the past, generally boasting is bragging B... It's a seaside, and the wind blows its sound.
He didn't believe that Xia Qingxue, who was simply like an idiot, could be a real master, and eighty percent was a little higher than ordinary people.
In his heart, a person like the saint is the real master, and he doesn't need to make a move to know...
"How's it going, brother-in-law?" Xia Qingxue saw Qi Tian staring at her, but she didn't speak.
"Almost, I'll ask the few left-behind family members later. After Qi Tian finished speaking, he walked towards the few family members who were squatting around.
"Hey, have you been here all along?" Qi Tian asked.
The family who was squatting on the ground looked up at Qi Tian, recognized it as the notorious son-in-law of Xia Mansion, nodded, and did not speak.
Xia Qingxue followed behind Qi Tian, looking at the attitude of the family members towards Qi Tian, she was a little dissatisfied in her heart, and said, "What do you say!"
As soon as the family saw that it was the third lady of the Xia Mansion, he stood up and replied in a respectful tone: "It's the third miss, after the city guards investigated the scene yesterday, we have been guarding here, and Steward Ah Fu said that we can go back tonight." ”
"Ah Fu?" Qi Tian muttered.
Jia Ding turned his eyes to Qi Tian, nodded, and said, "Steward Ah Fu said that the warehouse has been searched by the city guards and him, and there is nothing left, so we don't have to stay here tonight." ”
Qi Tian nodded and said to Xia Qingxue, "Then let's go back too." ”
Xia Qingxue was puzzled: "Don't you need to continue looking?"
"There's nothing left to see, so let's walk back and take a walk. Qi Tian squeezed his eyes and said.
Xia Qingxue led the horse and followed behind Qi Tian, and when the two of them were far away from the warehouse that was burned to ashes, Qi Tian suddenly stopped, raised his eyes to look around, and then pointed to a place with lush trees, and said, "Let's go there." ”
The two of them hid behind a tree more than a meter wide.
"Brother-in-law, what are we doing here?" Xia Qingxue asked.
"When it gets dark, of course. Qi Tian sat directly on the ground, leaning against the big tree, Qiao Zheng Erlang's legs, his eyes slightly closed, and he looked leisurely.
Suddenly, as if he remembered something again, he asked, "What is the quality of the silk in the warehouse?"
Xia Qingxue also learned from Qi Tian, sat down next to her, held the long sword in her arms, and said: "Of course it's the best silk, our Xia family has always put credibility first, never cut corners, and the goods are genuine." ”
Qi Tian closed his eyes, a wicked smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and said in his heart, no matter who is behind this matter, you can't escape the eyes of Young Master Ben.
As he thought, he gently shook the half of the burned white silk in his hand.
"By the way, you go back to the city and find two hundred-meter-long hemp ropes, the kind used for climbing, and bring them over. Qi Tian said.
Xia Qingxue was stunned for a moment, then sat up straight and asked, "What do you want to do with that, are we going to climb the mountain?"
Qi Tian raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't ask more, you'll know in a while." ”
Xia Qingxue blinked and nodded, "Okay, little sister will go buy hemp rope now." ”
She jumped on her horse and ran towards the city.

"Brother-in-law, wake up quickly..."Xia Qingxue grabbed Qi Tian's arm and shook it.
"Hmm..."Qi Tian rubbed his sleepy eyes, he was already covered in a red glow around him, and the sun at sea level was only half left.
"What are we going to do next?" Xia Qingxue asked, holding two bundles of thick hemp rope in her hands.
Qi Tian twisted his body, looked at the ruined warehouse in the distance, and asked, "What about the family left-behind?"
"They have already left, and when I bought hemp rope, I saw them enter the city! Our Xia family suffered this great disaster, and they were so passive and slacking off their work, and they left early before it was night. Xia Qingxue had a little resentment in her eyes.
Qi Tian frowned and asked, "Did they see you?"
Xia Qingxue shook her head and said, "No, I'm afraid that my brother-in-law will be in a hurry, so I'll come back after buying hemp rope." ”
Qi Tian's heart was put down again, all his actions tonight must be kept secret, and he must not let others know, otherwise it is likely to arouse the suspicion of others, and then he will not be able to "plan the plan".
"Very well done!" he praised Xia Xinyue, and then got up and walked towards the edge of the cliff.
