Chapter 308: Rift
The morning sun always smells fresh, accompanied by soggy lù beads, which dot the day full of life.
Qiu Peng strolled through the streets, looking at the busy crowd in the morning, but there was no tension at this moment. On the contrary, there is a taste of stealing half a day's leisure.
An iǎ seller of breakfast was shouting loudly in the local dialect of the city of féi, a young student was holding a schoolbag in one hand and grabbing breakfast in the other, eating as he walked, in a hurry, a fùnv squatted in front of a vegetable stall in the morning market, complaining that today's food was expensive and not fresh, and the porter of the cart bumped into the pedestrians in front of him, causing a burst of shouting and scolding.
Qiu Peng saw this qiē in his eyes, but he had a completely different feeling. He feels that it is a blessing to be able to live in this prosperous world.
It was still early, Qiu Peng walked forward slowly, walking leisurely, while experiencing his current state of mind.
It's a pity that I left a little early, and I forgot to ask Lin Xue who the person they were talking about was and what his origin was. Qiu Peng's intuition should be the gray-clothed man who appeared in the féi Lin block last time. His sword skills are already a grandmaster-level master. The skill should already be innate level.
But it was hard for Qiu Peng to imagine that such a person would have any mysterious involvement with the political situation of Lingyun Pavilion, and even everyone was taboo not to mention this person's big name.
There was a distance of about half an hour from home to the house of the second son, Li Qianzhi, however, Qiu Peng walked for at least an hour. He was counting the time and thinking about how to get there.
When Qiu Peng arrived, it was not long after Li Qianzhi got up. His face was tired and he seemed to be in a bad mood. When he saw Qiu Peng, he also lost his previous enthusiasm, just nodded, and said coldly: "You are here." ”
Qiu Peng expected Li Qianzhi's dissatisfaction, but he didn't expect it to be so unreasonable.
Mr. Yunzhong stood behind Li Qianzhi, and he stopped talking, as if he was a little anxious.
Li Qianzhi said with a cold face: "Your courage is not iǎ." Li Zixuan. Anyone dares to mess with it, hehe, I told you several times not to mess with Kitanofeng, but you didn't hear it at all. ”
Qiu Peng didn't expect Li Qianzhi to reprimand him so directly, an anger rose in his heart, and he also lowered his face and said, "There are some things that you don't want to dodge. ”
Li Qianzhi said angrily: "Can't hide, won't you admit defeat? If you don't look like you can't be beaten, who will provoke you? ”
Qiu Peng shook his head secretly in his heart, Li Qianzhi is really not a very good superior, just look at his joy and anger on his face now, and his feelings are not controlled at all. Of course, Qiu Peng's inference may not be correct, because in fact, some people are very good at hiding their feelings in front of their enemies, but for their own subordinates, those who are regarded as their subordinates, they usually rarely hide them, and may feel that they are unnecessary, or that their forbearance in front of the enemy needs to be balanced by violence in front of their own people.
However, Qiu Peng's difficulties this time were actually a good opportunity for Li Qianzhi to win over Qiu Peng. It can be said that if Li Qianzhi helps, Qiu Peng will inevitably feel uncomfortable, and will naturally change the current situation of being separated from Li Qianzhi.
In the final analysis, with Qiu Peng's current identity and Cheng Dù, who is favored by the Lord of Lingyun Pavilion, many forces are eager to draw him under their banner. In addition, if Qiu Peng hadn't faced off with Beiye Peak at this time, he wouldn't have been able to ask Li Qianzhi at all, and only Li Qianzhi could use Qiu Peng's place.
Even at this moment, Qiu Peng and Li Qianzhi are just asking for each other, and they are just very related.
However, Li Qianzhi was still unconscious, and he still looked like an uncle's master, and even Mr. Yunzhong behind him began to be anxious.
Although Qiu Peng reminded himself that this was not the time to fall out with Li Qianzhi, he was still unhappy in his heart, to be honest, Qiu Peng was really disappointed in Li Qianzhi at the moment.
"I'm sorry," Qiu Peng said coldly: "I don't have as much cultivation as the second son, and I won't do anything like kowtowing and begging for mercy at every turn." ”
"Li Zixuan!" Li Qian stood up angrily and glared at Qiu Peng, obviously he didn't expect Qiu Peng to dare to speak to him with such an attitude. "How dare you speak to me like that. Don't think you're here today! Don't think you're great today, I can get you out of here with a word!"
Qiu Peng almost rushed out: "You try it!" Then he suppressed this unwise impulse, and said with a relaxed tone: "The second son's words are serious, the second son's kindness to Zixuan, I dare not forget it." ”
Mr. Yunzhong finally had time to speak, because he was afraid that if Li Qianzhi said something unwise again, the scene would really be out of control. "Second son, why be angry? I think the Li iǎ brothers are just a momentary vigor, and young people are like this. Why should the second son blame Brother Li? For the sake of today's plan, we should think of a proper solution to this matter and settle this matter peacefully. ”
After a pause, Mr. Yunzhong said again: "Also, I heard that the pavilion master was very happy when he heard this, and said that whoever wins will have a heavy reward." So that's not necessarily a bad thing. At least, Brother Li is a saint, and he is more and more trusted by the pavilion master. Didn't someone say yesterday that the pavilion master praised Brother Li for cutting off four bronze statues with a sword when he met people in the pavilion, and he was the first warrior of the pavilion master? Brother Li was appreciated by such a pavilion master, and it can be said that the future was immeasurable, didn't the second son say yesterday that he wanted to celebrate Brother Li?"
Li Qianzhi's face softened slightly. In fact, Li Qianzhi is not a person who does not know the stakes, but he is more impulsive, and he heard that Mr. Yunzhong's words were clearly hinting to himself that Qiu Peng's current identity was no longer a subordinate person who he could scold at will, but a celebrity around him who could influence the intention of the Lingyun Pavilion Lord.
Recently, the Lord of Lingyun Pavilion has repeatedly expressed his appreciation for Li Zixuan to different people on different occasions, which is really a very intriguing thing. Maybe it's deliberately not Qiu Peng's momentum?
Although Li Qianzhi's face was still not good-looking, his tone had softened, and he hurriedly took the opportunity to step down: "Yes, yes, seeing that Brother Li has made another contribution to saving the driver, I am also very happy for you." I think there will be a heavy reward for the pavilion master in these two days. Why don't you find a few friends to celebrate today? ”
"How dare you do that?" Qiu Peng looked sincerely afraid, "Actually, Zixuan just did his duty, and the pavilion master has never said such a thing to me." ”
"Father, he is like this," Li Qian said, "He rarely praises people to his face." ”
Speaking of this, Li Qianzhi said again: "How to deal with the matter of Kitano Peak, it is indeed a headache." ”
Mr. Yunzhong understood and said, "Exactly. Kitano Peak is also favored by the lord of the Pavilion, and he has attracted a group of people, if Kitano Peak falls to the side of the eldest prince, we will immediately fall into passivity. In fact, his power is not enough, the most terrifying thing is his scheming and martial arts. If you become an enemy, you must be a very dangerous enemy, and if you become a friend, you must be a great help. ”
Li Qianzhi nodded and said, "That's a good point. So even if we can't pull him down to our side, we must not let him fall to Hongji's side, at least we must let him be neutral. Brother Li, am I right?"
Qiu Peng snorted, noncommittal. But my heart began to cool.
Mr. Yunzhong coughed lightly and said, "So, it seems that we can't have a head-on conflict with Kitano Peak at the moment. In my opinion, about the bet with Kitano Peak, I had to temporarily wronged Brother Li and admit defeat to Kitano Peak, so as not to hurt the harmony. ”
Li Qianzhi snorted and said, "That's not very good, that's too wronged Brother Li." ”
Mr. Yunzhong glanced at Qiu Peng apologetically and said, "That's also something that can't be helped." In order to take care of the overall situation, I don't think Brother Li will refuse, right, Zixuan?"
Qiu Peng's hands and feet were cold for a while, but he still suppressed his anger, because Qiu Peng knew that he couldn't fall out with Li Qianzhi at this time, which was a combination of two benefits and two harms. However, Qiu Peng still felt the powerlessness of being alone.
