Chapter 119: Acting
"Old man, where did you come from, the little woman always feels very familiar, as if she has seen it there!" This sudden answer is really a bit puzzling, Han Tanyi originally just asked her to say some high-sounding words, such as this pattern or something, how delicate and so on, so as to cover it up, but she didn't expect her to stage such a play, this time, that surprised gesture, naturally can't hide it, of course, compared with him, the strange old man's expression is obviously weirder, and even shocked to reveal a taste of disbelief, and at this moment, Shui Linglong chose to pause, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, as if she was waiting for this atmosphere to ferment, and then continued: "Oh, I remember, three years ago, someone went to look for my father outside the Saiwai, and he took the same pattern!"
"What, do you remember what that man looked like, and what was this pattern?" Such a hook was scattered, for fishing, and I don't know if this word touched the heartstrings of the strange old man too much, and he couldn't help but say a word, but he still didn't say it after all, and soon, the expression that was originally about to appear flustered calmed down again, and even the voice was much calmer, even so, Shui Linglong's heart also secretly had some smiles, her purpose, it is obvious that she has achieved a few points, and what she needs to do now is to try to keep herself out of the matter, as if she is stating something that has nothing to do with herself: "It's a coincidence, at that time my brother happened to have something to go out, not at home, although my father is also quite good at casting, but this pattern is exquisite, he is helpless after all, as for the person who came, it is a man, probably in his seventies, I don't know what the surname is, but listening to that accent, it should be a person from the Central Plains!"
Try to put it as simply as possible, these were originally made up by Shui Linglong, just to lure this strange old man into the game, so the less this is said, the lower the chance of making a mistake, and it is naturally less likely to arouse suspicion.
"Looking at the appearance, this little Nizi doesn't look like she's lying, she's young, and she doesn't know martial arts, so she shouldn't have so many ghost eyes, so who is the man in her mouth, more than seventy years old, and there may be this pattern, except for the old ghost, I really can't think of anyone else, but isn't he also loyal to His Royal Highness King Qi, how can it be?" The strange old man muttered in his heart, his position was different, and he naturally thought about different things, but the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't understand, and later, he even felt a little groggy: "In the battle sixteen years ago, the old man I changed my identity and hid in this Mingyue Villa, three years ago, Li Santong died, Dongfang Mingyue's identity, I can't go back, under such a cover-up, I can only use this strange disease to cover up, hidden in this darkness, is it possible that you are the same old ghost as me?"
Okay, these are just thoughts in his heart, naturally they can't appear in front of people, just like what he is doing at the moment, although the rivers and lakes are big, there are a lot of strange things, but who would have thought that the former earth-shaking cold valley lord Dongfang Mingyue would hide in this Mingyue Villa with such an identity, twenty years of prosperity, just a moment, can't see the bleakness of the day, and naturally it is not the first time that he has a kind of worthwhile thinking, it's just, since people have chosen this step, there is no need to regret it。
"Brother, you have a lot of fate with this pattern, I didn't think I saw it three years ago, but now it appears in front of your eyes again, although it is a little more incomplete, and the difficulty has increased a lot, but you are originally very talented in casting, and I can vaguely remember some, maybe you and my brother and sister work together, and you can restore it!" No matter what kind of mind the strange old man is, Shui Linglong seems to be a little excited at this moment, indeed, things like acting should be a complete set, not only to make others believe, but even sometimes he can't tell the truth from the false, being said like this, Han Tanyi's confused strength can be said to have deepened again, and there is a feeling that he doesn't know what the other party wants to do, so at this moment, he can only remain silent, let this Shui Linglong play anywhere, as for the strange old man, he slowly stood up, and he didn't know that from that corner in the dark, he took out such a hat, and the black veil hung down, Even the contours of the cheeks that could still be vaguely seen were covered tightly, and there was no leakage of the slightest gap: "Since the two of you have this confidence, then the old man, I will entrust this request to the two, Qi Laosan, I will entertain these two, what is missing, although I told him, the old man, I still have some mundane things here, so I will not accompany the two here!"
"Senior, please take care of yourself, our brothers and sisters do their best, but this silver?" After the strange old man finished speaking, he naturally did not stop, and walked towards the door, at this moment, Han Tanyi's gaze can be said to be closely following him, of course, in addition to the four words burly, maybe the young man can only describe the other party with words like spirit, and dare not say anything else, but he is still very sure of one thing, an old man of this age, can maintain such a posture, then his martial arts cultivation, but he dare not underestimate it, even the kind of action that closed the door before, is just a small test of the other party's knife, this person's ability may be far stronger than he imagined。
"Brother, you don't know anything, as long as you and my brother and sister do this well, what is the existence of Mingyue Villa, and they can still treat us badly, what kind of silver does it mention, it will inevitably look a little cheesy!" As soon as Han Tanyi's words fell, Shui Linglong hurriedly took it over, for the people of the rivers and lakes, maybe this money or something is not such an important existence in itself, not to mention that he still wants people like Han Tanyi, Shui Linglong also naturally said what he meant, acting in a full set, originally this is the reason, so at this moment, Han Tanyi followed up and seemed to have a somewhat unwilling posture:" Mingyue Villa naturally won't treat us badly, and I also believe in the character of my predecessors, but don't forget, our line of work was originally here for silver, and we still have to make it clear and understandable, besides, you and I ran away like this, isn't it just to prove our ability to my father, isn't this the best proof with silver, you say that we are the Marquis!"
When he said this, Han Tanyi suddenly stopped, as if he had said something that should not be said, and suddenly there was a little silence, and he didn't know if he was restrained by the argument between these two people, the strange old man suddenly stopped, and he naturally knew who he was referring to, and his heart suddenly calmed down:" It turns out that these two people are the children of the Hou family of the Outside of the Saiwai Dynasty, if the person they are talking about is really the old ghost of the Dao, it is reasonable, the Xiao family has always wanted to seize the royal power, but if it is only with the power of the palace and the rivers and lakes, even if there is that treasure, it can be justified and respond to the mandate of heaven, but it may not be completely certain, only when the external trouble arrives and the strength of the royal family is contained, maybe there is a full opportunity!"
"The young man is right, some things are still clear, old man, I don't want to make everyone unhappy for these trivial things, don't worry, as long as you can help me create this thing, Mingyue Villa will give you three thousand taels of silver, the right is to be grateful, how about it?" The old man smiled slightly, the corners of his mouth were a little uplifted, but with the cover of the black veil, no one could see it, three thousand taels of silver, that one is not a small number, Han Tanyi naturally couldn't think of a reason to refuse, in addition to secretly scolding this old ghost Shen in his heart is really rich, this face is naturally a look of satisfaction, and even the words are more respectful: "It's still senior, you are happy, you can rest assured, this matter is wrapped up in our brothers and sisters!"
"But there is a sentence, the old man has to be the first to make it clear, Mingyue Villa is not a place for you to be outside the fortress, especially what Shen Er hates the most is that others are messing around for no reason, so it's better for you to stay in this smelting yard, don't walk around if you have nothing to do, otherwise something will happen when the time comes, and I won't be able to protect you, old man!" This was obviously aggravated a little, Han Tanyi naturally understood the meaning of his words, the satisfied smile, tried to make it stay on his face as much as possible, taking advantage of this look, he nodded eagerly and responded: "Don't worry, you don't worry, our brothers and sisters are just here to do this business, and we naturally look forward to it as soon as possible, even if you don't say it, we don't have the effort to do a gratuitous waste, with these three thousand taels of silver, we can explain to our father and father!"
The second half of the sentence was naturally said to Shui Linglong, he originally wanted to say about his father, but as before, as if he had discovered something, he hurriedly changed his words to replace his father, this time, in order to add the last seal to his performance, even if it is not seamless, it is good to give people less flaws, the strange old man didn't seem to care too much, just nodded slightly, then turned around, and then walked out, although his steps tried his best to stay calm, but someone can always see that behind this calm, in fact, there is a kind of eagerness, at this moment, above the corner of the girl's mouth, slightly raised, what emerges is a smile that is not easy to detect.
