Chapter 357: Xinghualou's first encounter
That's right, through perception, Xiao Xiaoqi is sure that this is Ming Xiaoling.
And Xiao Xiaoqi was dressed as an ugly girl at this time, but Ming Xiaoling couldn't recognize it, he just saw that someone was a little surprised here.
But he didn't seem to care why someone was here, so he hurriedly closed the door, and then made a silent gesture to Xiao Xiaoqi.
Xiao Xiaoqi stood very "well-behaved", motionless and did not make any sound.
"Quick, take a look ahead...... Did you see where he had gone?" was a voice outside, accompanied by a cacophony of footsteps.
Ming Xiaoling covered his left hand, as if his arm was injured, and he walked inside with a brisk pace at this time, probably to avoid those people outside.
However, Ming Xiaoling didn't go far, and the back door opened again, and someone was about to break in.
Ming Xiaoling reacted in an instant and flashed to the side, but because he didn't run far, he could only hide in the flowers not far behind Xiao Xiaoqi.
Xiao Xiaoqi turned his attention to the back door, only to see that after the door opened, a team of people rushed in, Xiao Xiaoqi immediately recognized that this team of people was the Zheng Tianwei he met on the street just now, led by the sturdy man.
As soon as the strong man came in, he saw Xiao Xiaoqi, and he was still a little surprised, "Hey, did you see a strange person breaking in?"
Xiao Xiaoqi pointed at the sturdy men, "Do you count?"
This look is aimed at Ming Xiaoling, Xiao Xiaoqi naturally will not expose Ming Xiaoling's traces.
The sturdy man grimaced, "Don't pretend to be confused, I mean except for us." ”
"That's not it. Xiao Xiaoqi shook his head.
The fierce man didn't believe it, and immediately ordered his subordinates, "Search for me!"
"I'll see who dares!" a female voice came from the other side of the courtyard.
Everyone looked over, only to see a woman with someone coming over, the woman was about thirty years old, not old, but had a mature charm, dressed up very gorgeously, and her temperament really looked like a person from the land of fireworks.
Xiao Xiaoqi also saw that the crow incarnated by the snow warbler was on the shoulders of the gorgeous woman at this time, and he couldn't help but wonder, could this woman be the Zi Niang they were looking for?
Without waiting for Xiao Xiaoqi to think deeply, the gorgeous woman had already walked up, she smiled enchantingly at the fierce man, and the two seemed to know each other, "Criminal commander, how can you have time to come to my Xinghua Building, or in such a reckless way." ”
The tough man didn't have a good face, and said bluntly: "I was ordered to hunt down the suspect, who knew that when I chased here, the person would be gone, so the suspect must be hiding here, for your safety, it's best to let us search it." ”
"Ouch......" The gorgeous woman shouted charmingly, and then said: "There must be a thief who wants to frame my Xinghualou, I was watching here just now, and no one came in at all." ”
"You don't count what you said!" The fierce man was very resolute, "Dare to block it, and be punished as an accomplice!"
After speaking, the strong man gestured and motioned to his subordinates to continue the search.
"Wait!" The gorgeous woman stopped them again, her eyes suddenly became a lot colder at this time, "Commander of the Punishment, don't blame me for not reminding you, you also know where my Xinghua Building is, you can search it, but if you accidentally offend some big people in the room, you can do it yourself." ”
As soon as the gorgeous woman said this, the sturdy man really hesitated, it stands to reason that there are often people who spend the night in this fireworks land, and Xinghualou is a well-known gray area, and there are really some high-ranking officials in one of the rooms......
But the fierce man still didn't want to give up, "It's okay if I don't search the room, I'll search this garden!"
This time, without waiting for the gorgeous woman to react, Zheng Tianwei searched in the backyard garden.
A hint of nervousness flashed in the eyes of the gorgeous woman, "Hey, search and search, don't touch my flowers, these flowers are precious!"
The sturdy man didn't give face at all, "Search every corner for me, don't let go of any place where people may be hidden!"
The gorgeous woman clenched her fists at this time, and glanced at Ming Xiaoling's direction as if she didn't seem to have any, obviously she knew that Ming Xiaoling was hiding there.
Xiao Xiaoqi also frowned at this time, Ming Xiaoling will be found if he goes on like this.
But he was not in a hurry, and then I saw him take out the ink stick......
After a while, a Zhengtianwei began to approach Ming Xiaoling's location, and was about to reach out to remove the flowers in front of him.
The gorgeous woman was a little anxious, so she immediately walked over and slapped the hand of Zheng Tianwei away, "I said don't touch my flowers, didn't you hear?"
Nazheng Tianwei was very unconvinced, and glared at the gorgeous woman.
The gorgeous woman was not afraid at all, "Look at what, I tell you, I know the commander-in-chief Envoy Dongfang, believe it or not, I will let him remove you!"
Not to mention, that Zhengtian Wei was really frightened, and he had to shrink his body.
But at this moment, the sturdy man walked over, he stared at the flowers behind the gorgeous woman, "I will explain to the commander-in-chief if there is anything, please go away." ”
The gorgeous woman crossed her waist and put on a shrewd posture, "It's okay for me to go away, but you are not allowed to touch my ......"
didn't wait for the gorgeous woman to finish speaking, but the sturdy man pulled her away, and then directly reached out to pick up the flowers where Ming Xiaoling was hiding.
"You dare!" the gorgeous woman shouted, her eyes flashing with a cold light, as if she couldn't help but make a move.
But at this time, the fierce man had already opened the flowers, but there was no figure of Ming Xiaoling among them.
Only then did the gorgeous woman loosen her fist and calm down again.
The sturdy man frowned, wondering if he was thinking too much.
Only Xiao Xiaoqi, who was not far away, played with the ink stick in his hand, looking very calm.
At this time, the other Zhengtianwei all retreated, and they all shook their heads, obviously not noticing.
"It's all said, you just don't believe it, now it's okay, I've ruined my back garden like this, I must talk to Lord Dongfang......" The gorgeous woman began to scold.
A trace of impatience flashed in the man's eyes, but he still turned his head and saluted the gorgeous woman, "I'm sorry, Ziniang, we are also routine." ”
It seems that it is right, the gorgeous woman is the Ziniang that Xiao Xiaoqi is looking for this time, but I saw that she still didn't have a good face, "Routine? I think it's just deliberately finding fault." ”
The strong man didn't explain much, and then he seemed to think of something, "No matter what, we are just acting in public service, and we will investigate if there is any suspicion, for example, this ......"
As he spoke, he pointed the finger at Xiao Xiaoqi, since he was on the street just now, the sturdy man seemed to be very interested in Xiao Xiaoqi.
Zi Niang should have said: "This is my new subordinate from Xinghualou, who specializes in taking care of this garden for me, why, no!"
The corners of the strong man's mouth curled slightly, "Okay, of course you can ......"
He said yes, but he quietly looked at Xiao Xiaoqi, as if he wanted to see something...... At this time, he found the ink light stick in Xiao Xiaoqi's hand.
"What is this?" the sturdy man reached out and grabbed the ink stick.
Xiao Xiaoqi looked very generous, did not stop it, gave the ink stick to the strong man, and said: "This is a magical stick, it has the ability to destroy the world, be careful." ”
The sturdy man looked at the ink light stick, but he didn't see anything special, and finally he sneered, and his eyes when he looked at Xiao Xiaoqi suddenly became like looking at a fool.
Then he casually threw the ink stick to Xiao Xiaoqi, "Don't wander around the street if you have nothing to do in the future, your appearance will scare people." ”
After saying this, the strong man left with Zhengtianwei stupidly.
Zi Niang seemed to be unrelenting, shouting: "Hey, just leave? You guys are too rude, Zhengtianwei is amazing......"
However, the fierce man didn't pay attention to them, and he didn't turn back to the back door, and continued to search ahead.
It wasn't until she couldn't see Zhengtianwei that Zi Niang hurriedly ordered her subordinates to lock the door, and then asked her subordinates to retreat, and after doing this, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiao Xiaoqi waved at Zi Niang at this time, but before he could speak, Zi Niang stopped him, "It's not convenient to talk here." ”
After saying that, she remembered something again, and hurriedly ran to the flowers where Ming Xiaoling was hiding.
I saw Zi Niang looking for it near the flowers, but she didn't see anyone, she couldn't help but murmur: "Strange, why is it missing?"
Xiao Xiaoqi walked over at this time, "Do you know that person?"
Obviously, the person in Xiao Xiaoqi's mouth refers to Ming Xiaoling, and he wants to confirm the relationship between the two parties.
Before Zi Niang could answer, Xue Ying said for her, "Don't worry, it's all your own people here, little girl, let them come back." ”
With Xueying's words, Xiao Xiaoqi put his mind at ease, only to see him wave the ink light stick, and then a magic array appeared in the flowers, and the ground soil suddenly rose, and then revealed the figure of Ming Xiaoling.
"Great, you're okay. Zi Niang was very pleased, and then she asked, "How did you do it just now?"
Ming Xiaoling looked at himself strangely, and he didn't understand what happened just now, "I only knew that I suddenly sank into the ground, but I didn't do it." ”
"Hehe, of course you didn't do it...... Xue Ying laughed cheaply, "Xiao Ming, long time no see." ”
Ming Xiaoling looked at the snow warbler suspiciously, but didn't recognize it for a while.
At this time, the snow warbler changed and changed back to its original state.
"Snow warbler, it's you!" Ming Xiaoling was suddenly ecstatic, holding the snow warbler was a "ravage".
"Okay, okay, calm down, don't wait a minute, and recruit Zhengtianwei again. The snow warbler couldn't stand it a little and quickly broke free.
"Wait......" At this time, Ming Xiaoling remembered something again, "If you are here, does that mean that Lingqi is also here?"
"This ......" Hearing this question, Xue Ying couldn't help but set her eyes on Xiao Xiaoqi.
Seeing this, Ming Xiaoling immediately looked at Xiao Xiaoqi excitedly, "Could it be ...... You're ......"
"No!" Seeing Ming Xiaoling's eyes, Xiao Xiaoqi shook his hand again and again, "I'm not Lingqi, don't get me wrong, I'm Xiao Xiaoqi." ”
If you let Ming Xiaoling know that he is Lingqi, you can't annoy him to death, and the explanation can't be explained clearly, so Xiao Xiaoqi decided, absolutely, absolutely can't let Ming Xiaoling know the truth.
Ming Xiaoling looked at the snow warbler again, as if he wanted to verify it.
Xue Ying paused, and then received Xiao Xiaoqi's threatening eyes, and then it had no choice but to say, "He is indeed not." ”
Hearing such an answer, Ming Xiaoling's eyes couldn't help but dim, as if he was very lost.
Zi Niang said at this time: "This is not suitable for conversation, let's move to the conference hall." ”
......
In a secret room, Xiao Xiaoqi showed his true identity, and Ming Xiaoling and Zi Niang were also there.
When Ming Xiaoling saw Xiao Xiaoqi's true appearance, he seemed to be really dead and knew that Lingqi really didn't come.
However, he was very respectful to Xiao Xiaoqi, "In Xia Ming Xiaoling, I have seen Shuzu, and I am grateful to Fang Cai for coming to the rescue." ”
Ming Xiaoling and Zi Niang already knew that it was Xiao Xiaoqi who used his means to help Ming Xiaoling hide his body just now, so Ming Xiaoling was not exposed.
Zi Niang looked at Xiao Xiaoqi and said, "I'm curious, using spiritual power in Zhengtian City will be discovered, how did you manage not to be discovered just now?"
Xiao Xiaoqi replied with a smile: "It's very simple, because I didn't use spiritual power. ”
"Didn't use spiritual power?" Ming Xiaoling was a little surprised, "Then how did you make me sink into the ground?"
Xiao Xiaoqi raised the ink light stick in his hand at this time, "I use magic." ”
"Magic?" Ming Xiaoling and Zi Niang still didn't understand.
Xiao Xiaoqi suddenly didn't know how to explain, "To put it simply, it's another kind of power......"
Xiao Xiaoqi said this, although Ming Xiaoling and Zi Niang didn't know, they could be regarded as having a general understanding of such a thing.
Xiao Xiaoqi asked rhetorically at this time: "By the way, who was that person just now, why did he chase you?"
Ming Xiaoling didn't hide it, "The one who was headed just now is called Xing Kui, who is the Zheng Tianwei who is in charge of the security of the palace, I went to the palace for a little bit before, but I didn't expect to be accidentally discovered, and then I was chased here." ”
Xiao Xiaoqi was puzzled, "Aren't you the second prince, why are you still being chased?"
"How did Shu Zu know my identity?" Ming Xiaoling was a little surprised.
Xiao Xiaoqi paused, he forgot, he should not be familiar with Ming Xiaoling, and he should not know Ming Xiaoling's origin.
He smiled awkwardly, then said, "This is what Xueying told me." ”
The snow warbler glanced at Xiao Xiaoqi with squinted eyes, it could be regarded as understanding the compulsion, and now whenever something unexplained appears, Xiao Xiaoqi will use it as a shield.
Ming Xiaoling was relieved and did not doubt it, "It's okay to say when my father is alive, but now that the crown prince is on the throne, the other princes will all be handed over and supervised, not to mention that I am a second prince who has already 'died', with the prince's heart, once I show up, he will kill me!"
Xiao Xiaoqi suddenly sighed, but he didn't expect Ming Bo to be so indifferent that he didn't even talk about brotherhood.
Xue Ying felt angry when she heard this, "Don't worry, Xiao Ming, this time this seat is here to help you, let's kill Ming Bo that bastard together, and this seat will ensure that you ascend to the throne!"
Ming Xiaoling shook his head, "I'm not interested in the throne or anything, I just feel that the crown prince is acting inappropriately when I come back this time, and I hope to save something......
As he spoke, Ming Xiaoling suddenly covered his chest, his face pale, as if he was very uncomfortable.
"Are you alright? The snowwarbler hurriedly flew over to inspect it.
Zi Niang next to her hurriedly supported Ming Xiaoling, "Second prince, are you okay?" ”
Mingxiao Ling forced a smile, shook his head and said: "I'm fine, I was just slapped by Xing Kui, I suffered some internal injuries, it's fine, just rest for a day or two." ”
"I'd better help you go to rest. ”
So Zi Niang helped Ming Xiaoling down, and it should be to help Ming Xiaoling go to a safe place to rest.
Xiao Xiaoqi looked at the door and frowned, "Strange, why is Xiang Ling Daoyou here?
He remembered that Ming Xiaoling left Zhengtian City by faking his death three years ago, and since then he has wandered the world, Xiao Xiaoqi thought that Ming Xiaoling would not return to Zhengtian City.
Xue Ying understood very well, "Xiao Ming should have come recently, as for why he came here, would you not know?"
Xiao Xiaoqi looked at the snow warbler suspiciously, why would he know.
I only heard Xue Ying say: "He must have heard that Lingqi would come to Zhengtian City to take revenge, and he came to see you on purpose." ”
Xiao Xiaoqi thought about it, there is really such a possibility.
After a while, Zi Niang came back, and as soon as she returned, she respectfully saluted Xiao Xiaoqi, "Qi Shi will meet Qi Niang has seen my ancestor Shu!"
Xiao Xiaoqi was stunned, he didn't expect Zi Niang to be so polite, in front of people, Zi Niang was a person who scratched her head and made a pose, but now she looks very dignified, giving people the feeling of being a double-sided undercover agent.
"You don't have to be polite, just call me Xiaoqi. Xiao Xiaoqi said with a smile.
Zi Niang didn't mean to joke at all, "Then how can you do it?" Take a step back and say, you are still the seventh master of our Qishi Society, and you can afford my salute." ”
If Zi Niang didn't say it, Xiao Xiaoqi would have forgotten that he still had such an identity.
At this time, Xue Ying suddenly cleared her throat, as if reminding Zi Niang of something.
Zi Niang immediately understood, and also saluted the snow warbler, "My subordinates have seen the totem Venerable." ”
Xue Ying suddenly smiled, "No courtesy, no courtesy, it's too polite, it's all your own people." ”
Xiao Xiaoqi didn't know what to say about the snow warbler, this bird was too vain, and he really became the totem of the Qishi Society.
"By the way, are all the people in the Qishi Club okay?" Xiao Xiaoqi asked.
Zi Niang smiled and nodded, "The strength of several masters is world-renowned, and it is rare to meet opponents, although they are scattered all over the place, they are all very good now." ”
Xiao Xiaoqi breathed a sigh of relief, this is really good news, since he came back, many friends have either died or fallen apart, and the Qishi Society is still intact, which shows how cautious Li Jiuju is.
Xiao Xiaoqi then asked: "What about Daju, where is he now?"
Zi Niang replied truthfully: "The big boss is in the Proton Mansion, and his subordinates have already sent someone to inform him, but the big boss is now being watched by Ming Bo, and I'm afraid I can only come to see you at night." ”
"It's okay," Xiao Xiaoqi waved his hand, "I can still afford to wait for this time, just know that he is okay for the time being." ”
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Xiaoqi asked about the matter, that is, the situation of his father Chopin.
As for Xiao Xiaoqi's question, Zi Niang basically knows everything and says everything...... Then Xiao Xiaoqi learned that his father was still alive, but he was locked up somewhere in the palace, and as for where it was, Zi Niang and they had not yet grasped it, so it was a bit difficult to rescue.
However, this couldn't help Xiao Xiaoqi, and he planned to find an opportunity to go to the palace to find it in person.
