The porter stepped over the courtyard of the Konoha Forest and entered the spacious and ornate living room.

There are several bamboo curtains hanging in the living room, and the heat in the sand dunes has been separated from the curtains, and a screen is placed in the center of the living room, about half a zhang long and half a zhang high.

The screen depicts birds, insects, fish, flowers and trees, which complement the furnishings of the living room and add a touch of coolness.

The breeze blows the bamboo curtain, and there seems to be a bird flying in the heavy curtain.

Behind the screen stood six people.

The six men didn't talk, they just stood around the bookcase in front of the screen and thought, bowing their heads or frowning.

There are four picture scrolls side by side on the bookcase, and Ji Qianye is carefully measuring these four picture scrolls, trying to find out the secrets hidden in them.

He had thick eyebrows and big eyes, but his face was very fair, even whiter than a woman.

He had two mustaches on his lips, which made him look quite elegant, and if it weren't for his overly defined face, he would have been a beautiful man.

Ji Qianye is the owner of Ji Mansion.

The porter just stood in front of the screen, and did not go back, Ji Mansion has the rules of Ji Mansion, and when the host receives guests, it is strictly forbidden to disturb people, as the gatekeeper of Ji Mansion, he still understands this rule.

So he knocked on the red sandalwood door next to the living room.

Ji Qianye's voice came from behind the screen, "What's the matter?"

"Master, there are two people named Yanchuan Shuangxia outside the door, asking to see the master!" said the porter respectfully.

"Yanchuan Twins?"

Ji Qianye's brows furrowed even more, and he was silent for a long time, and he suddenly said, "Please let them in!"

"Yes!" the porter respectfully withdrew.

......

Xu Zidao and Lin Taiping followed the porter through the courtyard and into the living room, while Mo Xiaoqi and a gust of wind were taken down by another burly porter to settle down, and it was still a little inconvenient to meet the owner of this place with Mo Xiaoqi.

After all, they are the Yanchuan Twins.

Lin Taiping looked at the shadow of the flowers on the window of the living room, listened to the sound of water outside the window, and suddenly said: "I can't imagine that there are such rich and noble families in this seemingly poor town, and the weather of this rich and noble family is really not comparable to ordinary people." ”

The people they had seen from the courtyard to the living room just now were all polite and dignified, and they always had a smile on their faces, although this smile was a bit hypocritical.

"The bearing of the rich and noble is naturally different, and even if those servants look down on people, they must keep smiling and pretending to be polite. ”

When he said this, Xu Zidao was looking at the living room.

The magnificence of the Ji Mansion is far beyond most people's imagination, and the floor is paved with precious diamond stone, which is not only colorful, but also extremely hard, and ordinary swords cannot leave a trace at all.

The walls of the living room are framed and hung with various calligraphy and paintings, adding a touch of elegance.

The roof is also inlaid with large and small night pearls, and the faint fluorescence is sprinkled, which makes the living room beautifully decorated.

However, what attracted Xu Zidao's attention the most was the rows of Bogu shelves made of golden silk nanmu, on which were displayed various antiques and utensils, among which there was a pigeon-egg-sized stone, which was bright red like chicken blood.

"Cat's Eye Bloodstone"

Xu Zidao's eyes narrowed slightly, although the ordinary bloodstone is precious but only used for seals, this bloodstone can be used to heal injuries and save lives.

Such a precious thing is also placed at will, it seems that Ji Mansion is really wealthy.

Just when Xu Zidao was secretly slandering in his heart, the screen in the center of the living room was suddenly removed, and the person behind the screen appeared in front of Xu Zidao and Lin Taiping.

- Elegant men, old men in cloth shirts, old men with broken arms, fans of boys, bewitching young women, lame men.

Today's Himefu is far more lively than in the past, and there are far more guests than usual.

The vast majority of the guests are famous figures in the Northern Desert, who are powerful and proud, smiling proudly, drawing swords on the long street, and happy to enmity and revenge.

Lin Taiping recognized four of them.

Xu Zidao had already looked at these six people.

The elegant man had a deep face, no smile on his face, his thick brows frowned slightly, obviously he was worried about something, he was wearing a crescent-colored robe, slim and decent, yes, his whole person looked more elegant.

The old man in the cloth shirt was short in stature, his face was clear, but his eyes were very sharp, like eagle eyes, and the cold light was shining, and his nose was large, and his nostrils turned outward, and there were two pinches of nose hair inside.

The old man with a broken arm had goosebumps, described as withered, carrying a long knife, standing quietly, with no expression on his face, but when he looked at Xu Zidao and the others, his eyes were a little cold, which made people feel furious.

The fan-wielding boy is personable, dignified, dressed in white, and often has a smile on his face, but his eyes are a little wrong, and he likes to stare at other people's pockets.

The bewitching young woman couldn't take her eyes off the moment Xu Zidao came in, staring at him directly, her face was like autumn water, her eyebrows were full of spring, and she had a bewitching smile on her face, and every movement had a charm that penetrated into her bones.

The lame man has a rickety figure, the clothes are appropriate and appropriate, a pair of eyes are slightly cloudy, always squinting slightly, and he doesn't look at people, his hands are bruised, and he is very proficient in foreign kung fu.

When Xu Zidao and the others looked at these six people, these six people were also looking at them.

The elegant man had a signature smile on his face, "The two of you are the Yanchuan Shuangxia?"

"Exactly," Xu Zidao nodded.

"Shu Ji is lonely and unheard, I haven't heard of the reputation of the two, I don't know why the two came to visit?" Ji Qianye's eyes flashed a cold glow, but his face was silent, but his tone was a little stiff.

Anyone who sees Xu Zidao and Lin Taiping will not associate the word "chivalry", they are too young.

One has red lips and white teeth, is handsome, and looks like a rich man, while the other is sloppy, dirty, and messy.

Can such a person also be called a "chivalrous"?

Which of the famous heroes on the rivers and lakes is not mature and stable, with a pleasant demeanor.

Ji Qianye guessed that these two people were here to cheat and deceive, and they wanted to fool people by giving them a random name, and made up their minds to drive them out after the questioning, and not all thieves could come in.

Xu Zidao smiled, how could he not know what Ji Qianye was thinking in his heart, but he didn't care, and said calmly: "The two of us came to visit not for anything else, but officially for the treasure map." ”

"How do you know that the treasure map is here?" Ji Qianye's voice suddenly rose, and the originally peaceful eyes suddenly shone brightly, and the eyes that looked at Xu Zidao carried a hint of danger, as if Xu Zidao would lose his life if he answered incorrectly.

The atmosphere in the living room suddenly became delicate, although the other five people still did not move, but Xu Zidao understood that as long as he answered the slightest wrong, these people would immediately do it, although they were famous, but they were more ruthless than the other.

After all, there's nothing special about dealing with uninvited outsiders.
