Chapter 9: Undercurrents

"Fang Xiao, why are you leaving today?" Mu Liu muttered as he helped Fang Xiao put things in the carriage.

"I don't know, my father arranged it anyway. Fang Xiao said and took a package from Mu Liu's hand and put it in the carriage.

"Old man Liu won't let me go to the capital with you, saying that I am not strong enough to step into the capital. Mu Liu patted his embroidered spring knife with a look of indignation.

"You just follow Liu Zhutou to study hard, and then who knows if I'm going to be good or bad. Fang Xiao said and got into the carriage.

"Anyway, it's the characters on the heavenly list who teach you, why don't you feel happy at all. Mu Liu looked at Fang Xiao with a disdainful look on his face, and he was angry, "It's really a full man, I don't know how hungry a man is hungry." ”

"You, Liu Zhutou knows that he is going to die of sadness. Okay, without further ado, I'm leaving. When you arrive in Beijing, I will send you a message through the spy network of six doors. ”

"Violent creatures. Mu Liu wailed, "By the way, I understand that the teacher doesn't send you, why doesn't the master send you?"

"My father was afraid that my mother would not give up, so I didn't come. I said goodbye last night, and it's out of the way. After Fang Xiao finished speaking, he bowed his hand slightly to Mu Liu, and let the coachman drive the horse away. Fang Xiao did not sit in the car, but sat on the other side where the driver was. A green robe fluttered slightly with the movement of the car, and a semicircular jade pendant swayed around Fang Xiao's waist.

"Master, the young master has set off. The seventh uncle stood quietly in Fang Liangping's study again, and Fang Liangping was not surprised and still sorted out his official business unhurriedly.

"Let's go, I hope Su Buqing can help me teach this kid well. Fang Liang said with a smile.

"But I found out that the spies who have been outside the mansion recently, as soon as the young master left, they also left. Uncle Seven continued.

"Oh, you went with Xiao'er, where is the spy?" Fang Liang put down the book, and a little golden light shot out of his eyes.

"It's Siwenge's. Uncle Seven said.

"Siwen Pavilion, I did hear that Xiao'er was a little entangled with the young lady of Siwen Pavilion, and she also provoked the young pavilion master of Siwen Pavilion. Why do they want to attack Xiao'er?" Fang Liang asked.

"It seems that yes, sir, do we want to protect the young master. Uncle Seven asked.

"Forget it, he will take care of Xiao'er's own affairs. Fang Liang commented as if he had thought of something, and his eyes suddenly regained his composure, and he said lightly.

"But that's the Siwen Pavilion. Uncle Seven was taken aback and continued.

"Uncle Seven, I said no, I don't need it. Fang Liang continued to deal with official business, "If there is nothing else, you can step down." ”

"Yes. Uncle Seven had to go out of the room.

"You said Fang Xiao came out!" Qi Siyan asked as he listened to the little guy's report.

"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. The little guy continued.

"Okay, there you go. Qi Siyan threw him a few taels of silver and said.

'Fang Xiao, Fang Xiao doesn't blame me for being ruthless, it's just that my sister is not someone like you. Qi Siyan thought about the walnuts he was playing with, but he grabbed them.

"Fang Gongzi has set off? Hey, I can only hope that Fourteen can stop Qi Qi. Qi Siyao leaned back in her recliner and said leisurely.

"Miss, you're lovesick. The maid said casually.

"What are you talking about, you girl don't tear your mouth apart. Qi Siyao pretended to be angry.

"Miss is angry, but why are you so worried about Fang Gongzi. Huan'er hurriedly begged for mercy.

"It's just rare for me to meet like-minded people and talk a few more words, but I didn't expect my brother to be so cold-blooded. If Fang Gongzi suffers because of me alone, my heart will be uneasy. Qi Siyao got up and said to the window.

"But miss, don't you have a husband, why are you still worried about other men? Huan'er asked puzzled with a blink of her eyes.

"You girl! Forget it, how can I understand if you're not. The young lady spoke leisurely again, as if the voice had come from the sky instead of coming out of her body, revealing some resentment that no one understood. The master and servant were silent for a long time.

"Uncle Dong, why is he here? Isn't he accompanying the old man in the north?" Qi Siyan asked as he listened to the words of the little guy who went and returned.

"I don't know, but Mr. Dong is sitting in the front hall right now, and he asked me to inform you and Miss to come over. The little guy continued.

"Okay, I see, you can inform Miss. Qi Siyan said that he asked the little maid to invite Qi Siyao, and he simply tidied up his clothes and went to see Uncle Dong in his mouth.

Dong doesn't understand that he is Qi Tiannan's most important subordinate, or the big butler. No one knows when he followed Qi Tiannan, anyway, when Qi Tiannan was famous, Dong Wufu was already by his side. Because he was born and died together, Qi Tiannan has always regarded him as a brother, and Qi Siyan and Qi Siyao have always called him Uncle Dong.

"Uncle Dong. Qi Siyan walked to the front hall and saw that Dong Weifu, who was standing in the hall, was busy giving gifts, and Qi Siyan naturally didn't dare to pose in front of this Uncle Dong.

"Young Master doesn't have to be like this, what about Miss Yao'er?" Dong didn't understand and supported Qi Siyan's downward bent arm with his hand. Although Qi Tiannan gave him a very high prestige, Dong didn't understand that he had always put himself in the position of the Qi family's slave.

Qi Siyan already knew that Dong didn't understand his personality, so he stopped saluting: "Siyao, I've already asked people to invite me, but I don't know what Uncle Dong is here?"

"I'm from Master Feng~" Before Dong didn't understand the words, Qi Siyao had already walked into the hall, "Uncle Dong." Qi Siyao approached Dong Buyi in surprise, Qi Siyao rarely saw Qi Tiannan when she was a child, and of course she is now, so Dong doesn't know how to take care of it, and in her heart, Dong doesn't know how to be a father-like figure. So she hurriedly stepped forward and said affectionately.

"Miss Yao'er, you're here too, so I'll tell you. Dong didn't understand and looked at Qi Siyao on his side dotingly and said, "The master wants you to go to the branch pavilion in Hangzhou, the young master used to be the pavilion master, and as for the young lady, the master said that he had his own arrangements." Anyway, he asked me to take you there in the next two days. ”

"Is my father here too?" Qi Siyan secretly rejoiced at Qi Tiannan's arrangement in his heart for a while, and then asked.

"The master's affairs in the north haven't been dealt with yet, but the master said that after the young master can improve the Siwen Pavilion in Hangzhou, he will hand over Jinling to you. ”

"Then why did Daddy let me go?" Qi Siyao said that after all, it made sense to let Qi Siyan take over the Siwen Pavilion in Hangzhou, so why let her go?

"Didn't the master say it, he has his own arrangements. Dong didn't understand, seeing that Qi Siyao didn't seem to be happy, he hurriedly added: "Please miss, I believe that the master will not harm you." ”

"Won't it hurt me, what about the marriage with the Zhao family?" Qi Siyao sneered, this smile was even more hideous on the face of a teenage girl. After a while, Qi Siyao looked at Dong Weixi's calm face and couldn't help but feel a little helpless, so she went to the back room alone.

Dong didn't understand and shook his head, he knew that this matter was not something he could solve, although he also loved this little princess, but Qi Tiannan's great cause was an indispensable part of the little princess. Said slowly, "Young Master, please go and prepare early, we will set off in two days." ”

"Yes, Uncle Dong is tired of traveling, please rest early. After Qi Siyan finished speaking, he also went to the back room.

Qi Qi followed Fang Xiao all the way to the vicinity of Qixia Mountain, secretly thinking, 'At this point, the basic treatment should also be regarded as an explanation to the young master.' But he secretly always felt that someone was also following and the level was not below him, so he picked up a stone and secretly carried it away, and a strong wind carried the stone and flew towards the carriage where Fang Xiao was.

Sure enough, before the stone got close to the carriage, it was chased by another stone, and there was a crisp collision, and then both fell to the ground, Qi Qi looked in the direction where the stone was flying, and a cyan figure was trying to hide, Qi Qi hurriedly stepped on the tree with his back feet to take advantage of the situation to perform Qi Qinggong. And the man didn't know that Qi Qi had already discovered him, and he was resting behind a tree, and by the way, he took out a dagger as a precaution.

Qi Qi leaned into the tree, and with a flick of his wrist, a pair of eagle talons were attached to his hand, and the man wanted to turn around when he heard the movement, but Qi Qi's eagle claws were already attached to his neck.

"What people. Qi Qi said coldly.

The man was stunned when he heard the voice, and then said, "Seventh brother?"

Qi Qi was also stunned when he heard the sentence 'Seventh Brother', and hurriedly turned the person around, "Little Fourteen, why are you?"

"I was sent by the young lady to protect the Fang Gongzi in front, what is the matter with you, seventh brother?" That person was Qi Fourteen sent by Qi Siyao, and Fourteen also asked.

When Qi Qiyi heard this, he immediately felt that his head was big, "The son asked him to kill, and the young lady wanted to save him again." It is the gods who fight hard to discourage the little ghosts. After thinking about it for a while, he was afraid of losing it, so he gestured to Fourteen to follow first. Then on the way to chase, Qi Qi told Fourteen what Qi Siyan asked him to do, Xiao Fourteen didn't have Qi Qi's city, and after listening to it, he said, "Then what should we do, do we kill or not?"

"I'm just thinking about it, Childe and Miss, none of us can afford to offend. Qi Qi also said with a bitter face.

"yes, no matter what we do, there's always someone who can't handle it well. Fourteen also said with his chin propped up.

"Hey, there is!" Qi Qi said, and his hand slapped on Xiao Fourteen's head.

"Brother Seven, if you have an idea, it's over, what are you doing with my head. Fourteen rubbed his aching head and said.

"Not for us, you listen. Qi Qi said something in Fourteen's ear after speaking.

"Brother Seven, your idea is good, isn't it still biased towards the child?" said Xiao Fourteen.

"Silly boy, who do you think is the biggest in our Siwen Pavilion?" Qi Qi said.

"Then I need to say that I am the pavilion master. Fourteen pouted.

"After that, will the prince be the pavilion master or the young lady will be the pavilion master?" Qi Qiyi smiled and continued to ask.

"Naturally, the son is the pavilion master. As soon as Fourteen said it, he understood Qi Qi's thoughts, although he felt guilty that he couldn't do exactly what Miss wanted, but it could only be like this.

Seeing that Fourteen nodded, Qi Qi took out two more stones and shot them out, one at the coachman who was driving the horse, and the other at the horse. The first stone was hitting the coachman's waist, and the coachman only felt that his body was weak and fell off the car, while the second stone was deliberately hit by Qi Qi on the horse's buttocks, and the horse was frightened, and the coachman had already fallen off the horse and ran away happily. Fang Xiao in the car wanted to come out and take a look when he heard the sound of the coachman landing, but before he could move out, the horse was already frightened, and Fang Xiao was suddenly thrown into the carriage by the speeding carriage.

When the horse finally stopped, it had already deviated from the original road, and I don't know where it was on the mountain, Fang Xiao straightened out the messy clothes that had been upside down and walked out, but saw two men wearing black and green outside.

"Who are the two of you?" Fang Xiao waved his shocked head and said in confusion.

"You can think we're killers. Qi Qi said, "You don't have to ask anything, because we won't answer you if you ask." I can tell you that one of us is entrusted to kill you, and the other is entrusted to save you. So we don't know whether to kill you or save you. ”

Hearing this, Fang Xiao suddenly felt a stirring spirit, and even the impact of the bump dissipated.

"So we decided to let you decide for yourself, whether to live or die. Qi Qi continued.

Fang Xiao secretly said in her heart: "Nonsense, I chose it myself, of course I was born." But his face was still indifferent, and he raised his hand and said, "I want to hear it in detail." ”

"I said earlier that one of us is going to kill you, and the other is going to save you. If you guess who's trying to save you, we're not going to kill you, and of course we're not going to let you go, just jump from here. Qi Qi smiled and pointed to the cliff on the side.

"Is this different from leaving me alone?" Seeing this, Fang Xiao put away that trace of fear.

"You're thinking a little too much, your life is in our hands, and there's still a chance to jump down. Qi Qi didn't care about Fang Xiao's attitude, after all, the current Fang Xiao was just an ant that could be kneaded by him.

"Have you figured it out? Qi Qi continued.

Fang Xiao shook his head, secretly thinking that what these two people said should be true, otherwise there would be no need to be so troublesome, thinking of this, Fang Xiao carefully looked at these two people and said, "You should have been ordered to kill me, and that one should have been ordered to save me." Fang Xiao pointed at Qi Qi and said slowly.

"I have heard that Fang Gongzi is smart, and it is true. But can Childe tell me how you tell the difference?" Qi Qi's eyes flashed with surprise and said.

"Because the two outcomes I chose were both biased towards my death, and the two of you were clearly dominated by you, so this choice was clearly dominated by you, then you must have been ordered to kill me. Fang Xiao looked at Qi Qi, whose face was uncertain, and said.

"It's a pity, Fang Gongzi has offended someone who shouldn't be offended, so please. Qi Qi took advantage of the situation and made a gesture of please.

Fang Xiao smiled and moved to the edge of the cliff. "You bring a message to your master, and Fang Xiao will write down today's events. Fang Xiao looked at Qi Qi and said with a smile, then turned around and said to Fourteen, "Thank you for me too, your master." ’

"Don't worry, Gongzi Fang, we will bring your last words back, and please have pity on us so that we can go back as soon as possible. Qi Qi looked at Fang Xiao with a look at the dead and said lightly.

"The mountains are high and the waters are long, and I'm sure we'll see you again. After Fang Xiao finished speaking, he jumped down, and there was no one on the thousand-foot cliff.
