Chapter 55: Duqi's Request
For this dinner, Duqi invited a total of twelve people.
Gu Qing didn't find a new cultivator, of course, he couldn't define Xu Qingteng's identity, he just felt that he was hiding something.
If Xu Qingteng is a cultivator, there are two possibilities, one is that he is very powerful and can hide the qi on his body to the point that he will not be discovered by Duqi, and the other is that Xu Qingteng has a special method to hide his qi.
The dinner was staggered and enjoyable, but everyone obviously had different thoughts. But everyone is very good at covering up, and it is not easy for people to notice.
Xu Qingteng was a little special, he seemed to really just come to eat, he didn't care what the meaning of this meal was, and took the initiative to find a topic to chat with Gu Qing.
Starting from calligraphy and painting, it is not limited to calligraphy and painting.
Gu Qing also realized that Xu Qingteng was knowledgeable.
This is not the depth that young people should have, the side reflects Xu Qingteng's erudition and strong memory, and there is a large collection of books for him to read, but some details also reveal an important information, that is, Xu Qingteng should have been to many places, after all, the small customs of some places are generally not in the book, and they can only be said after they have been there.
Gu Qing is not familiar with this world, but his words are compatible.
He inadvertently asked Xu Qingteng to say some seemingly inconsequential information, but Gu Qing was able to deduce the answer he wanted through these small messages.
This is the case with advanced words, you don't have to induce the other person to say the answer you want, because it will also expose you.
Moreover, in order to prevent Xu Qingteng from noticing, Gu Qing used an extremely natural way to overturn the topic to his own focus.
Then you will receive it as soon as you dip it, and you will never be greedy.
At the same time, Gu Qing was also observing whether Xu Qingteng was aware of his temptation.
If Xu Qingteng could feel it, it would not be a bad thing for Gu Qingteng, at least he could conclude that Xu Qingteng was very guarded, which was absolutely inconsistent with the image shown by Xu Qingteng.
At present, Xu Qingteng gives outsiders the feeling that he is a rich idler who is ignorant of the world and obsessed with calligraphy and painting.
In this way, Gu Qing can even conclude that Xu Qingteng is hiding an ulterior secret.
After the banquet ended, everyone dispersed, Xu Qingteng seemed to feel particularly good about Gu Qing, and invited Gu Qing to be a guest at home.
However, Gu Qing refused on the grounds that he wanted to go to He Qing's house.
Xu Qingteng also showed regret when he left.
Before Duqi sent Xu Qingteng and the other guests away, he asked Gu Qing to stay and wait for him.
He Qing also did not leave until Duqi returned.
Duqi smiled bitterly: "I spent a lot of money today, but I still didn't invite Xu Zhizhou, but it made Brother He laugh." ”
He Qingdao: "This will not affect your next actions, not to mention that Lord Xu did not directly reject you, which shows that the government's attitude towards the Heavenly Peerless View is not very supportive." It's just a dart head, you're afraid you want too much, right? ”
Duqi looked at He Qing silently for a moment, and said with a faint smile: "Brother He, you are not as cynical as you seem. I'm afraid you told Brother Gu a lot about the cultivation world tonight, and you must have told him not to wade into my troubled waters, right? ”
He Qingdao: "Everyone is each other, if you just rely on ferocity and ruthlessness, how can you enter the Weiyuan dart game and not lose a dart." It's just that I don't understand, why do you want to get involved?"
Duqi said: "There is nothing to hide now, the people above plan to raise the branch office in Jiangzhou to the sub-bureau, but I have to bear the money I need." It just so happened that the Nine Streams Society had a conflict with the Heavenly Peerless Vision, so it gave me a chance. ”
He Qingdao: "I see, I heard that the most powerful Burning Sun Mental Method of the Weiyuan Dart Bureau must be at least the head of the branch to be taught, if you succeed this time, you will be able to get the true transmission of the Burning Yang Mental Method, and you may be able to break through the mortal realm in your lifetime." ”
"Mortal realm?" Gu Qing noticed this word, which was not mentioned in the information given by Xu slowly, and there was no memory of Gangxiang.
"It seems to be a division of cultivators' ranks?"
Duqi said: "It's just hopeful, we haven't broken through the mortal realm at all." It is a withered old man with a peerless view, and it is rumored that he is sitting on the death barrier and preparing to break through the mortal realm. ”
He Qingdao: "I don't know this news, but as soon as you say it, I will understand." No wonder the Nine Streams Society dared to write a war against the Heavenly Peerless View, it turned out that the dry eyebrows were sitting on the dead pass, and the Heavenly Peerless View was missing such a strong person. It's just that if the dry eyebrows really break through, after leaving the customs, the Nine Streams Society will not be afraid of a catastrophe? After all, after breaking through the mortal realm, it will be a real realm character, reborn, and have abilities that ordinary people can't imagine. Maybe they'll be able to track down where they're hiding. ”
"It's not something I know. Anyway, as long as I succeed in becoming the head of the bureau, I will be the core figure of Weiyuan Dart Bureau, and even if I get out of the customs at that time, I will not be easily moved. "Duqidao.
He Qingdao said: "This is also true, after all, there is that person behind the Weiyuan Dart Bureau." But what is the purpose of your invitation to Brother Gu, I don't want you to involve him. ”
Duqi said: "Brother Gu's medical skills are excellent, and he is not much stronger than those quacks in Jiangcheng. To be honest, if it weren't for Brother Gu who helped me adjust my body in advance, I was afraid that the marrow washing solution would have caused me to lose my life. So I wanted to leave myself a way back. ”
He Qingdao: "It turns out that you want Brother Gu to help you heal after you are injured?"
Duqi said: "Yes, and I am not completely unprepared this time, and I also invited two brothers, both of whom are skilled people." This conflict is inevitable, and if we are injured, how can ordinary doctors help us. ”
He Qing said to Gu Qing: "Brother Gu, what do you think?"
Gu Qingxin said: "I can't ask for healing for cultivators. ”
He said: "It's just this little thing, it's not troublesome, the seventh brother will really have an accident at that time, even if you send someone to find me, I will never refuse." ”
Duqi said: "I knew that Brother Gu was righteous, but the ugly words are ahead, and this time my brother survived to repay you." I really don't have any good on hand for you lately, so please forgive me. ”
Gu Qing smiled and said, "Then I'll wait for the return of the seventh brother." ”
Duqi got Gu Qing's promise and sent Gu Qing and He Qing away diligently.
He Qing asked Gu Qing to go with him, and on the way, He Qing taught people to change the route of the carriage several times, and let Gu Qing and him get off the carriage at a dead end in the middle of the road, and soon two people got into the carriage and the carriage left, so that the traces of the ruts were difficult to see the change.
Gu Qing walked with He Qing for a while, and He Qing observed from time to time on the road, until he was sure that there was no line of sight to follow them, and then he entered a courtyard.
Gu Qing has been to this courtyard, and it is one of the courtyards where Lu Li once lived.
"Could it be that Lu Li is a figure in the organization behind He Qing?" Gu Qing secretly guessed.
He Qingdao: "No one is following for the time being, now I'll tell you about joining us." ”
