Chapter 964: Peacock
Duanmu Yi people knew about this incident and later passed through Danjiang several times, found Ruan Jinxiang, and had a lot of contact in private. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
However, this matter involves the grievances of the previous generation, for the sake of the reputation of the Duanmu family, it is impossible for Duanmu Hong to recognize Ruan Jinxiang's identity, and Duanmu Yiren's mother will not allow it.
Mother Wu arranged the meal, came out to ask Ruan's mother what she meant, and when she saw Ruan Jinxiang, she immediately smiled, "Miss, you are back." Madam, dinner is ready, should you bring it out now? β
"Mother Wu, I'm here to help. β
Ruan Jinxiang followed Mother Wu to bring out the food, although there were not many dishes, the portion was very large, Ming Qin and the three of them were a little tired after a day, and they ate a bowl of rice with relish.
After the meal, Ruan's mother asked Ruan Jinxiang to entertain the three of them to stay, and went back to the room by herself.
The Ruan family's house is quite spacious, it is an old house handed down from the ancestors, although it is very old, it is still clean.
"That's it, Miss Qin, Miss Yan, you stay in my room. Ming Gongzi was aggrieved, there was a utility room upstairs, and I asked Wu's mother to clean it up. β
There are only three people in the Ruan family, and there are usually no people coming, so naturally there is no extra room, Ruan Jinxiang let her room out, and she can squeeze it with Ruan's mother or Wu's mother.
"Let's still stay at the guest house. It's already troublesome. β
Qin Suhui originally thought that Duanmuyi's friends were either rich or expensive, but who knew that Ruan Jinxiang's situation was not very good, so he had no intention of disturbing it.
"It's okay. There is a place to live at home, but it has not been lived in for a long time, and it needs to be cleaned. β
Ruan Jinxiang knew that Qin Suhui was introduced by Duanmuyi, no matter how bad the situation was, she had to do her best to entertain them, and she didn't want to be looked down upon.
"Actually, there is an attic in the back, or you wait a while, I'll let Mother Wu clean it. β
Ruan Jinxiang said that she was going to call Wu's mother, but Qin Suhui saw that Ruan Jinxiang was very interested in keeping guests, and it was not easy to categorically refuse.
Wu's mother had just cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, Ruan Jinxiang asked her to clean the attic, and immediately complained, "Miss, the courtyard behind has not been inhabited for many years, and the dust in it is a few inches thick, where can there be people." You're just tired of me, and I can't clean it up. β
"Okay, if you don't go, I'll go by myself. β
Ruan Jinxiang is very negative, Wu Ma is the old servant of the Ruan family, after the Ruan family fell, the servants and maids in the family are gone, only Wu Ma remains, Ruan Jinxiang and her are called master servants, but there is no difference between up and down, in terms of age, Wu Ma is still her elder.
Ruan Jinxiang couldn't listen to Wu's mother's chatter, so she took a broom and a feather duster and went out.
"Let's go over and have a look, too. β
The three of them were full of wine and food, and they were embarrassed to sit back and enjoy their success, so they hurriedly followed over to help.
When the Ruan family was prosperous, there were dozens of people inside and out, and since the death of Ruan's mother's parents, the whole house has been depressed.
The courtyard at the back is the old house of the Ruan family, which was originally lived by Ruan Jie's parents, and was idle after the death of the second elder.
"Originally, I wanted to rent this place out, but my mother didn't agree to it. My mother has a good impression of you, and you can stay for a long time. β
A few people came to the backyard, pushed open the room, turned on the wall lamp, and found that the house was not as dilapidated as imagined, and Wu's mother would still come over to clean it every once in a while.
"Thank you. I'll pay you the rent. β
Qin Suhui saw that the house was fully furnished, and the environment was not bad, as long as it was cleaned slightly, it would not be a problem for people to live.
Ruan Jinxiang's face was slightly red, and she hurriedly said: "I'm not asking you for rent, you are friends of the Yiren, just live there." β
Qin Suhui said with a smile: "One yard is one yard, if the girl doesn't want rent, we won't be able to live in it." β
Ruan Jinxiang thought about it for a while, and said with a smile: "You guys live first, just tell me if you need anything." If I'm not there during the day, I'll go to find Mother Wu. β
Qin Suhui nodded slightly, "Where did you not ask the girl to work?"
Ruan Jinxiang said: "I work in Qianzhuang, and I am busier during the day, so I usually don't come back at noon. β
Qin Suhui sighed lightly, she saw that Ruan Jinxiang came back quite late, and she was full of alcohol, worried about what she was doing to make a living.
While talking, Wu's mother walked in with the futon, the house had not been occupied for a long time, and the useful things in it were taken away, leaving only some tables, chairs, benches and bulky household goods.
There are no beds on the bed, but fortunately the climate on the island is mild and the nights are not very cold.
Although the three of Ming Qin are all cultivators, their cultivation is not weak. But Qin Suhui and Yan Mingzheng have prominent family backgrounds, and they have not suffered anything except for cultivation. In comparison, it is certainly not a comfortable place.
But everyone was tired and didn't have the heart to think about it. Anyway, I don't plan to stay for long, and now it's getting late, so I have to stay.
Wu's mother laid a new bedding for Qin and Yan's two daughters, and it was Mingqin's turn to cover it more old. In fact, he traveled from south to north, and spent a lot of time sleeping in the wilderness, and true cultivators advocate the realm of being carefree, and there is no need to care about the advantages and disadvantages of external objects.
"Miss Qin, you came to Danjiang to play, I will take a vacation to accompany you around in two days. β
Ruan Jinxiang and Duanmu Yiren knew that Qin Suhui had some kinship with her, but her own identity could not be revealed to outsiders, so she had to pretend not to know.
sent Ruan Jinxiang away, and the three of them also went their separate ways to rest.
Sleeping until midnight, Ming Qin woke up and saw Yuehua pouring in from the window, and a strange sound came into his ears.
Ming Qin Huo Ran was alert, and when he walked to the window, he saw a figure jumping down from a height, carrying a person on his shoulder, and he looked very similar to Qin Suhui.
"Oops. β
Mingqin's heart jumped, and he didn't think about it, so he pushed open the window and chased out. He originally thought that Yan Mingzheng's behavior was a little strange, but he didn't expect that he would harbor evil intentions, and it was really the biggest mistake to let her live with Qin Suhui.
Ming Qin believed in his eyesight, and it would only be a waste of time to go to Qin Suhui's residence to check it now, and it would be too late to chase after that person when he ran away.
Ming Qin conjured up the golden wings of the phoenix and swept into the air. I saw that the night walker was extremely fast, and he was still running high and low with a person on his shoulder, like a meteor catching the moon. Looking at that appearance, there is no doubt that it is Yan Mingzheng, she is wearing a square scarf, dressed as a man, and several jumps out of the Ruan family's house, incredibly fast.
Ming Qin and Yan Mingzheng have fought each other, knowing that she is a good cultivator, but she can't deal with a few shrimp soldiers and crab soldiers of the Four Holy Gates on the ship, Ming Qin can't help but look down on it a little, and now looking at the body she has revealed, it is not much better than Yu Qingluo, Yu Zongxuan, and Lady Moyu.
These three people are all at the level of the real human realm and above, and they are quite far from the ordinary real human realm cultivation.
Ming Qin was anxious, but Qin Suhui fell into Yan Mingzheng's hands, and he didn't dare to make a rash move. In addition, I don't know what Yan Mingzheng's intention was in kidnapping Qin Suhui. It stands to reason that the two have never met, and Qin Suhui has helped her several times, but she never expected Yan Mingzheng to suddenly have a bad idea.
Ming Qin's mind was racing, but he decided to make up his mind and move, first to see what kind of conspiracy Yan Mingzheng had. The two of them were as fast as sparks, Yan Mingzheng picked up the deserted mountain road, stopped from time to time and looked behind him vigilantly, but fortunately, Ming Qin was hidden in the clouds, not afraid of revealing the horse's feet.
After a meal, a villa appeared in the shade of the trees, and Ming Qin watched Yan Mingzheng sweep into the wall, and hurriedly gathered his golden wings and landed to turn into a cloud of light and shadow. In a blink of an eye, Yan Mingzheng was gone.
"What about people?"
Ming Qin was secretly angry in his heart, and saw that the villa was heavily guarded, there were many guards hidden in the open and secret, the pavilion was brightly lit, and there were many big men in samurai uniforms patrolling back and forth outside.
Ming Qin suppressed the anger in his heart, turned into a floating light and swept upstairs to find a gap.
I saw that in the middle of the building is a spacious hall, both sides are full of chairs, a tiger skin seat in the middle, and a brazier is burning in the corner of the wall, which is quite a bit of the reckless atmosphere of the rivers and lakes.
There are some characters sitting in the middle of the river, all with solemn expressions, as if something big has happened.
At this time, an old man who was over half a hundred years old came out of the back hall, arched his hand, and said politely: "Leaders, Kong Ye has already slept. Let's go back first, everyone. β
A bald man sitting in the middle couldn't hold back, and scolded angrily: "This is a major matter related to the life and death of our Four Holy Gates, and Kong Ye avoided it, doesn't it make the brothers feel cold." Damn, Lao Tzu is no longer serving. β
As he spoke, he raised his leg and kicked over the chair behind him.
The guards outside the door heard the movement and broke down the door, lifted the hem of their clothes, and pulled out their short guns.
Steward Kong's face was slightly gloomy, and he sneered: "Sixth Master, this is Peacock Villa, and you still have to abide by the dignity and humility, you won't know the rules." β
Ming Qin was puzzled, but he also understood that most of these people were from the Four Holy Gates.
The Four Holy Gates are also a major gang with a long history overseas. The forces are intertwined, and the disciples are all over the heavens. However, because the years are too long, the factions are huge, the internal intrigues, and the struggle for power and profit, it is not as prosperous as the Creation Gate, Shenxiu Palace, and Tianluo Palace.
However, the hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, and the influence of the Four Holy Gates in the heavens is still beyond the reach of the Three Great Dao Sects.
In fact, the development tendency of the Tianluo Hall is somewhat similar to that of the Four Holy Gates, which may be due to Yan Bugu's early investment in the Four Holy Gates, but the difference is that the Four Holy Gates have several elders with considerable power, and they are not convinced by each other. Tianluo Hall is Yan Bugu said one thing and the other.
It is said that the founders of the Four Holy Gates were four brothers, and after that, the disciples of the Four Holy Gates formed a faction, and they were inevitably hostile to each other.
Kong Ye's name is Kong Nandi, and he is the leader of the Southern Sect of the Four Holy Gates. Kong Nandi has a great reputation, when he was young, he was enterprising, and like Tianluo Palace, he annexed many small gangs, and now he is old, he doesn't pay much attention to the affairs of the door, and the following battles are getting more and more serious.
An elderly man stood up and persuaded, "Sixth, don't be impulsive. Everyone's mood is the same, Steward Kong, please go and spread the word again, if it weren't for the urgency of the situation, my brothers and I wouldn't come to see Kong Ye in the middle of the night, please ask him to come out and meet him. β
The people in the seat are the leaders of the Four Holy Gate Southern Sects, and they are also the right-hand men who are invincible. In recent years, Kong Nandi has been very fond of a concubine called a peacock, almost to the point of obeying his words. It was difficult for the leaders to see him.
Steward Kong's face is difficult, this old man is also an old man in the door, called Zhang Haoying, his status is quite high, Steward Kong is not good at refuting his face, and admitted: "Okay, everyone, please be calm and don't be impatient, I'll try it again." β
Steward Kong hurried away, and after a while, everyone was waiting impatiently, and suddenly there was a beeping sound in the back hall, and everyone looked solemn, and hurriedly sat down.
Steward Kong turned out of the back hall, straightened his clothes, and said in a loud voice: "Master Kong has arrived." β
The leaders hurriedly stood up to greet each other, stood respectfully, and drooped their eyelids.
Out of the back hall came an old man in a brocade robe with white hair, with a quinoa cane in his hand, followed by a tall girl, wearing a slim embroidered robe, embroidered with a peacock, exquisite makeup, not young, and indeed a mature and charming atmosphere.
The peacock came out with Kong Nandi in his arms, his eyebrows and eyes swept lightly on everyone, and helped Kong Nandi to sit on the tiger skin chair in the middle.
"I've seen Confucius. β
The leaders shouted in a sparse manner.
Kong Nandi snorted lightly, and the quinoa staff pointed to the stone slab under his feet and said, "You are really going back more and more, you have to see me for something." The old man has already told you, I am old, and you can just watch and do the things in the door. β
Zhang Haoying smiled and said: "Master Confucius should be strong and strong, and the brothers are willing to listen to you to give orders, and no one can compare with your prestige, nor can it replace it." β
He said and stared at the peacock, and his voice was meaningful.
Kong Nandi smiled, his face softened a lot, "Say, what's going on?"
Zhang Haoying said solemnly: "I have to ask Mrs. Peacock, I heard that she arrested someone in the Splendid Palace, and recently the people of the Splendid Palace have made a big move and picked up several of our businesses one after another." You have to call the shots in this matter. β
Splendid Palace is an emerging force overseas, and most of its members are women. The Four Holy Gate Trees have deep roots, and they didn't pay much attention to it. But recently, after being hit by the Splendid Palace one after another, several leaders made a plan and realized the seriousness of the situation. The other party is coming to the peacock, saying that the peacock caught their sisters, the peacock is the favorite concubine of the hole, the wife and concubine of the hole are invincible, and now the wood is about to die, and the peacock is inseparable to the extent, her wife and concubine are also obedient to the peacock's rectification, the peacock is quite ambitious and skillful, and gradually gets involved in the affairs of the four holy gates.
"Is there such a thing?"
Kong Nandi looked at the peacock with an inquiring look, the name of the Splendid Palace is a little unfamiliar, Kong Nandi has been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for decades, and there is really no such name in his impression. It is also because he has lived in a simple house all these years, and all the affairs in the door have been handed over to the Peacock chargΓ© d'affaires, and he no longer knows much about the current situation.
The peacock leaned into Kong Nandi's ear and whispered, Kong Nandi showed a sudden look, his brows stretched, he stroked his beard and said: "This splendid palace dares to oppose our four holy gates, you don't refuse the enemy, and you still have the face to run to me to cry, you really live more and more back." Our four holy gates are famous, can't even a few women in the Splendid Palace deal with it, it's simply unreasonable. Where is all the courage and ruthlessness you have been fighting so a daily basis?"
