Chapter 54: Xu Qingteng
Gu Qing said: "Maybe it's because I've been eating more vegetarians lately. ”
Duqi nodded and said, "No wonder you don't have any smell on your body." ”
Gu Qing said with a smile: "It seems that the seventh brother has gained a lot from this retreat, and his sense of smell is much sharper than before." ”
Duqi smiled reservedly, waved his hand and said, "A little progress is not worth boasting about." ”
It's just that anyone can see the pride in his heart.
Duqi then said to He Qing: "Brother He, I also invited Lord Xu to come today. I'll go out and see if Master Xu has arrived. ”
Duqi went downstairs, and He Qing pulled Gu Qing to the corner and whispered: "It seems that today's banquet is specially prepared by Duqi for Xu Zhizhou, and we are all foils." ”
Gu Qing asked softly, "Brother He knows the reason why he invited Xu Zhizhou?"
He Qing replied in a low voice: "Lord Xu is also surnamed Xu. Since Duqi has his own plans, it's better for me to make some things clear to you now. ”
"Xu Zhi's Tianxiang Meeting?"
"Yes, Xu Zhizhou was a side branch of the Xu family in his early years, but he did not have a good relationship with the main family, because he was an orphan and widow, so he was not bullied in the past. ”
"Seventh brother also has a crush on Tianxianghui, so do you want to join forces with Xu Zhizhou?"
Gu Qing thought of the contradiction between Duqi and the second young grandmother of the Tianxiang Society during the auction of the Red Cross Society that day.
"You still don't understand, the way the cultivation world solves the contradiction is actually not that complicated, Duqi befriended Xu Zhizhou for the aftermath, not to borrow strength. ”
"I really don't understand the way the spiritual world acts. ”
"In the cultivation world, intrigue and intrigue are all icing on the cake, and in fact, they are still bigger than anyone's fist. Whether it is Yu Donglou or Ding Dian's death, it is essentially a war book under the view of the sky. Duqi invited Xu Zhizhou, who had a holiday with the Xu family, to show an attitude at this time, he did not plan to stand by and watch this time, but wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob. In a sense, Duqi's attitude is also the attitude of Weiyuan Dart Game and Kuxia Sect. I guess that the Weiyuan Dart Game and the Kuxia Sect don't plan to completely tear their faces with the Heavenly Peerless View for the time being, so Duqi is what they use to charge into battle. I now doubt that Duqi was bound to get the marrow washing liquid before, whether he had already gotten the news and expected the current situation, so he hurriedly strengthened his strength. ”
"Who is the force that has issued a war book against the sky?"
"The Nine-Stream Secret Society, the Secret Society is a kind of cultivation force that is different from the cultivation sect, this society has always had only nine people, respectively named after the nine code names of 'Doctor, Painter, Scholar, Piano Master, Chess Player, Monk, Taoist, and Nun'. If a member quits or dies, they look for the right person to join. Their leader is called the president, and the rest are members. All members have to obey the president's orders. However, in order to become the president of the Nine Streams, the conditions are very harsh, and all members must agree. And the people of this club will only take action externally after a new president is elected. It is rumored that they recently elected a new president, the artist. This should be the first time in recent years that the Nine Streams Society has taken action. ”
Gu Qing said, "What will they do next against the cultivators of the Heavenly Peerless Realm?"
He Qingdao: "Yes, this is the usual practice. Of course, their targets will not be limited to cultivators, and anyone involved in this battle may be poisoned or coerced by them. If the cultivator sent by the Heavenly Peerless View died, there were only two options, continue to send more powerful figures, or not want to continue to take risks and give up Jiangcheng's industry. Of course, the same is true for the side that declared war"
He paused, lowered his voice and said, "The cultivation world is so cruel, there will be a fight to the death at any time. I'm telling you this now, I don't want you to accidentally get on Duqi's ship later. ”
After speaking, He Qing immediately looked at the staircase, and after a while, Duqi led a young man up.
"Mr. Xu came to the dinner instead of Lord Xu, and we can sit down. "Duqidao.
He Qing smiled at Gu Qing, as if to say, "Xu Zhizhou also seems to be a slippery head, and only sent his son." ”
Duqi led Xu Gongzi to He Qing's side, and he said: "I'll go and let people serve wine and food, and ask Brother He to help me greet Xu Gongzi, and I'll be back immediately." ”
Gu Qing saw that Duqi was quite disappointed, because it was not the main owner who came.
It's just that because of Xu Gongzi's identity, it's not easy to attack. It is estimated that I can't find a topic yet, so I will hand over the person to He Qing for the time being. Because Gu Qing heard it very clearly, when the two of them came up, they said polite words that were not nutritious.
Xu Gongzi smiled and said: "Let's go and get busy, I just want to talk to Brother He, the last Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting, Brother He's poem was really good." ”
He Qingdao: "Where can I make such poems, he is the author, I am just borrowing flowers to offer Buddha." ”
Xu Gongzi's eyes fell on Gu Qing, and he said politely: "Xiao Ke Xu Qingteng, I don't know what Your Excellency is called?"
"Gu Qing. ”
"Could it be that Gu Gongzi who imitates Wang Lushan Juqiutu?"
Gu Qing nodded and said, "If you're talking about the one in Old Fang's house, it's me." ”
Xu Qingteng said: "It was not what I wanted to come out to socialize, but it was really a joy to meet Gu Gongzi." I have seen your painting, whether it is brushwork or charm, it is not inferior to Wang Lu. It's a pity that Gu Gongzi seems to have modified it from another painting. Therefore, the divine will is a little incoherent, and the pen and ink are slightly flawed. If Brother Gu had painted by himself, he would have no regrets. ”
Gu Qing was slightly surprised, this son of the Xu Zhizhou family was really an expert. In fact, outsiders can't see these faults at all, even if they have a certain degree of painting attainment, they may not be able to say it as thoroughly as Xu Qingteng.
He said: "Xu Gongzi praises falsely, but I listened to what you said, and I think you have a lot of attainments in painting." ”
Xu Qingteng smiled: "I want to paint, but unfortunately my hand is disabled." ”
He showed his right hand, and his thumb was missing.
Gu Qing couldn't help but show regret and said, "It's rude." ”
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Xu Qingteng's left hand, which was white and greasy, and it didn't look like it had been used to study painting hard.
Xu Qingteng said: "Those who don't know are not strange, in fact, I have also practiced painting with my left hand, but I was born with a weak left hand, and it is difficult to practice smart painting skills, so I gave up." But now it's good to be a rich idler. ”
Gu Qing nodded.
At this time, Duqi came over and said: "Young Master Xu, my brother Gu is also very skilled in medicine, if you don't let him see the weakness of your left hand, maybe he can cure you." ”
Xu Qingteng said: "No need, I have asked many famous doctors for this disease, but they have not been cured." I really don't want to bother Gu Gongzi. ”
Gu Qing said: "Indeed, the medical skills in Xia are not as good as the seventh brother boasted. ”
"Be careful. A guy was coming up with a dish, and suddenly he accidentally slipped and flew towards Xu Qingteng with the plate he was holding.
He Qing caught the plate steadily, shook the other sleeve, gave birth to a strong wind, and fanned back the dishes flying out of the plate.
Duqi smiled and said, "Brother He is so handsome. ”
Then he glared at the guy again and said, "It's frizzy, don't apologize to Xu Gongzi soon." ”
The guy was already frightened and had no owner, so he came back to his senses and quickly kowtowed.
Xu Qingteng was not angry, and comforted the guy.
Finally, the man kowtowed and thanked him, and went back to the kitchen with his plate. After all, the presentation is out of order, and you have to change it with a new dish.
Gu Qing looked at it all in his eyes, and Xu Qingteng's expression in the face of the plate that was about to be smashed on his body did look a little panicked, but it was not very natural, he was sure that Xu Qingteng was acting.
Of course, if it weren't for Gu Qing's observation power, it would be difficult to detect.
Why act?
