? ”

"What should we do next?" Hearing that there was a child outside, Ao Qi asked Qi Ao for his opinion.

Intermittent but sincere words of thanks came into Qi'ao's ears from the seam of the car with tears in his voice. Qi'ao licked off the little sweet juice left on his fingertips, and then opened his eyes and sat up straight in Aoqi's arms: "Go Let's see."

He took out a clean silk scarf from the cabinet and asked Qiao to intervene, and told Gewu to bring Qiao light fur with trimmings from the outside and put it on for Qiao, and then put on gloves to cover the stove. Pulling Qi'ao out of the carriage.

Standing in front of the car, Qiao looked down at the person kneeling on the ground.

The man was thin and thin, wrapped in a tattered thin shirt that was too big, knelt on the ground and lowered his head, his hair fell loose, covering his facial features, revealing a gentle and delicate neck, holding a package in his arms, trembling slightly.

Qi Ao looked her up and down, and said uncertainly: "Raise your head."

This time I saw clearly that it was indeed a girl.Seeing that the girl's body was thin and shriveled, she was about eleven or twelve years old, but she didn't hide her beauty in the embarrassment.Although there are a few black marks on her face, she can still see her face is as white as jade, with a pointed chin, tears in her big dark eyes, and a light blue water ripple slanted into her eyes. Her face was full of beauty, and the panic on her face that had not faded made her look as pitiful as a deer that had strayed into a hunter's trap, making one unable to help but want to hold her in his arms and take pity on her.

She looked at Qi Ao with half gratitude and half grievance, her vermilion lips parted slightly, and her voice was clear and melodious like an oriole in the mountains: "My little girl, Cang Yuyan, is fifteen today, a native of Yueming Island in the Blue Sea, and my enemy slaughtered her whole body for a single treasure." People on this island, their parents also suffered in this massacre," she lowered her head again, sobbed a few times, and when she looked up again, there were crystal tears on her face, "I had no choice but to leave my hometown, and was killed by gangsters on the road. Stop it, thank you son for saving the little girl so she can escape."

"The little girl has a heartfelt request. The little girl grew up on Yueming Island, and it was the first time she set foot on the land of the Central Plains. She was hunted down and escaped here unintentionally," she said, feeling a little frightened. Looking around, "Can you ask the young master to take me for a ride, and I will leave when I find a shelter in the bustling area." After she finished speaking, she raised her head, like a lonely little white flower swaying slightly in the wind, raising her head. Looking at Qi Ao expectantly.

Qi Ao was a little surprised when he saw that it was a little girl, and when he heard her say that she was actually fifteen, Qi Ao's heart skipped a beat, and his first reaction was to look at Ao Qi, this time he didn't plan to say anything , just waiting for Aoqi to make up his mind.

Ao Qi looked back at Qi Ao very calmly.

If you didn't make a move at the beginning, you can naturally ignore it now.But now that she has been rescued, there is no reason to leave her in this desolate place with no village in front or a store in the back. After all, she looks too weak. As long as night falls, a wild wolf in this wilderness may ate her.At least take her to a place where she can settle down, and then give her some money to let her go.

I don't know what's going on, but even Aoqi felt compassion for Shang Cang Yuyan's panicked eyes.Ao Qi was also shocked when he realized that he was in such a mood, and finally he could only comfort himself because she was a child.

In his mind, he was unwilling to go with this girl in every possible way, but he couldn't help but feel sorry for her. Ao Qi flicked his sleeves irritably, and agreed to Qi Ao's question.Qi Ao's hand under the sleeve stretched out at an angle invisible to others, and gently held Ao Qi to comfort him, and smiled brightly at Cang Yuyan: "Come in."

He stood on a high place and leaned down, the smile reflected in Cang Yuyan's eyes was warmer and purer than the ray of sunlight pouring down from the clouds in winter, Cang Yuyan was instantly fascinated.

It's just that the smile was fleeting, and before Qi'ao finished speaking, he was led by Aoqi into the carriage again, leaving behind Cang Yuyan who knelt on the ground with tears in his eyes and kowtowed three times, and was then looked down upon Gowu led the carriage.

Naturally, Cang Yuyan couldn't get into the innermost part of the carriage. She and Ge Wu sat in the outer room, and the door between the inner room and the outer room was tightly closed the second Aoqi and the others entered.

After taking the tea that Gewu poured her, she thanked her very sincerely, then she lowered her eyes and drank the water without saying a word, holding the dirty package in her arms, for fear that others would not know what was in the package. Stuff matters the same.

Gewu stretched out his hand to Cang Yuyan: "Miss Cang, let me carry this package for you first."

Cang Yuyan carefully dodged Gowu's overstretched hand, and smiled weakly: "No need." Her attitude was indeed very firm.

After the girl said so, Gowu didn't insist any more, he casually said politely, put the girl aside and turned around to do his own thing.

After entering the carriage, Qi Ao took off the light fur on his body, rolled onto the couch and leaned on Ao Qi's thigh and closed his eyes, this girl who appeared suddenly did not become a topic of discussion between the two of them, Qi Ao saw He didn't turn around when he got up, and fell asleep again not long after lying down.

Ao Qi looked at Qi Ao who was sleeping soundly and fell into deep thought. For a while, he felt that this girl gave him a very familiar feeling, and for a while he felt that Qi Ao's characteristics seemed to be more powerful than before.

He thought about it from noon to sunset, but he still couldn't come up with an answer.

When it was time for dinner, the carriage just drove into the depths of the forest. Wucheng and Weiming found a wide and clean space in the woods to stop the carriage. , catching prey, and arranging the tableware in an orderly manner. It didn’t take long for the fire to be built. The dark guards washed and peeled the captured wild animals and put them on the volcano to roast. They placed them with various seasonings beside the fire, and turned around quietly. into the night.

When Wucheng and Weiming arrived with the carriage, everything was just ready.

Opening the car door, first Ge Wu and Cang Yuyan got out of the car, and after waiting for a while, Ao Qi and Qi Ao came out.Ao Qi's usual attire, Qi Ao didn't wear the silver fox light fur, and replaced it with a jacquard auspicious cloud pattern smoked gauze on the thin jacket, which can prevent the smoke and dust from sticking to the clothes inside later, and also Will not be difficult to clean.Qi Ao walked to the fire and sat down, pulled the outer layer of tulle: "The clothes prepared by Huayou are indeed meticulous, but they are too similar to his style."

Before Ao Qi could say anything, Ge Wu said carelessly: "He likes these gaudy things, but the second brother looks good in them, I don't know if the eldest brother wears them..." Halfway through the sentence, he received a glance from Ao Qi With a quick glance, he obediently swallowed the words that followed.

Sitting opposite Qi Ao, Cang Yuyan's hair hung down to cover most of her face, and the flames cast a shadow on her face. She didn't speak since she got off the carriage, but only slightly when she heard Gowu and the others' discussion. He raised his head, glanced obsessively at Qi Ao and lowered his head again.

The wild game was grilled until the outside was charred and the inside was tender, and the oil seeped out from the inside. There was a crackling sound when the tongue of fire licked it, and the aroma of the food gradually dissipated. Gowu skillfully flipped the food on the shelf with his left hand , let the flame burn to every part more evenly, then sprinkle a layer of seasonings, Gou took out a knife and waved it a few times, a piece of evenly fat, lean, tender and juicy barbecue fell into the side which was covered with various vegetables Oil was still sizzling in the silky dish.

The four of them sat on the ground, using the sky and the ground as their seats, and ate a meal of wild game very refreshingly.Halfway through the meal, Gowu felt that having meat without wine would be a bit less interesting, so he proposed to drink together.

They are not bad at drinking, but this is after all in the wild, it is better to drink less at night, a small pot of wine for three people is enough to drink.

Poured half a bowl of wine for Ao Qi and Qi Ao each, and just as Ge Wu was about to serve it for himself, he saw Cang Yuyan sitting beside him eating food in silence. He felt that the little girl was a bit uncomfortable with three men alone. Zi Zi, and took the initiative to go over to talk to Cang Yuyan: "Miss Cang, would you like some?"

Cangyu's cigarette butt hangs lower, her long bangs completely cover her face, she shook her head slightly, but did not speak.

Gowu looked at her, and felt a shiver running down his spine for no reason. Although the girl didn't speak during the day, she just looked weak and pitiful. At night, she looked like a ghost, and the more she looked at her, the more eerie she felt.As soon as this idea came up, Ge Wu threw it out of his mind, and while pouring the wine, he secretly scolded himself for thinking too much, and soon merged into the drinking team of Ao Qi and Qi Ao.

"I didn't expect Huayou to even prepare wine for us. This wine is like amber, clear and crystal clear, with a mellow taste and long aftertaste. It is indeed the wine given by Huayou." Under the jumping flames, Qi Ao dipped his lips in the wine Mizusawa, the flame seemed to shine into Qiao's eyes again, and there was light dancing in Qiao's eyes.

Gewu embraced the wine jar, and when he saw Qiao like this, he suddenly became startled, and then started laughing until tears came out, and then turned into uncontrollable crying. Aoqi and Qiao were talking about something, Suddenly they heard a howl, and both of them were taken aback.

Gewu waved his hands at them, with the expression on his face that was like crying or smiling: "Don't be afraid, big brother and second brother, I just suddenly feel that it's worth it to be able to follow you with one hand!" After finishing speaking, he drank another drink. into the mouth, was choked violently coughing, and then slowly calmed down.

Cang Yuyan, who was sitting motionless beside him, finally moved a little bit. She seemed to look sideways at Gowu, moved her body further away from him, and showed disgust.

Ao Qi confirmed that Ge Wu was just a little drunk and nothing serious, and then turned back, wanting to continue the conversation with Qi Ao, but saw Qi Ao looking up.

The sky in the wild is very clean, the dark blue curtain covers the whole sky, there is no moon tonight, only bright stars like black and white chess scattered on the chessboard, twinkling and twinkling, every piece of sky is a kind of Beautiful, together, the sky above the head is a shockingly vast and vast beauty, compared to people, they are so small and insignificant, just like dust.

Before Ao Qi asked, Qi Ao suddenly chuckled, that smile was like a layer of mist covering his face, it was too illusory, it seemed that even this moment he had become unreal.

Aoqi's first reaction was to clasp Qi'ao's hand, using [-]% of his strength, but Qi'ao didn't seem to feel it, and said to himself: "This sky is the same as what I saw before." He turned to Ao Qi, looking at him, seems to be asking him and talking to himself, "Does this mean that you and I have always been together, getting up and going to sleep together, practicing swords together in the backyard of the villa, but There's an invisible wall in between."

☆, night attack

There was silence all around, Ao Qi and Qi Ao raised their heads and didn't know what they were looking at, Cang Yuyan sat at the side silently eating the barbecue in his hand, if it wasn't for Go Wu who kept talking, it would have seemed too deserted.

The passing time was swallowed up by the fire, and the north wind gradually picked up and howled through the jungle. At this time, the sound of the bare branches of the fallen leaves rubbing against each other could be heard.The night was getting darker and darker, and the area illuminated by the fire was also gradually infiltrated by ink, until it could only illuminate their surroundings, and there was only darkness in the depths of the jungle farther away.

"Something's wrong." Qi'ao, who was quietly watching the starry sky, suddenly uttered a voice. Although the voice was very small, Ge Wu stopped suddenly, and even Cang Yuyan silently put down the tableware.

In the next second, Aoqi immediately mouthed "continue" to Gewu, and Gewu understood Aoqi's meaning at that time.This process is actually just a blink of an eye. The moment of silence is very short, as if it does not exist, and it is quickly picked up by Gowu's voice, but it is only this moment that creates a relaxed atmosphere. With a sweep, everyone understood that the current situation had changed, and their hearts shivered.

"Don't be nervous, even if someone still has Wu Cheng and Zi Ye guarding around." Ao Qi patted Qi Ao's hand, and then said loudly, "Since we have finished dinner, let's move on."

After finishing speaking, Ao Qi, Qi Ao and Ge Wu exchanged glances and stood up, Cang Yuyan also stood up, and the four of them walked towards the carriage together.

Behind them, another gust of wind blew past, making a loud noise as they shuttled through the forest. The fire that was still burning was twisted into a strange posture by the wind, and a trace of blood dissipated in the air.

Ao Qi suddenly stopped in his tracks, because those people who should not have appeared here and now.

The fire illuminated a small space for them and kept the darkness out.Now there is no sign at all, the surrounding darkness penetrated into them a little more, and the scope of light narrowed even more. Those people in black walking out of the darkness seemed to be blown by a gust of wind, and they appeared silently. The four of Aoqi surrounded him.

Behind this group of men in black, the dark guards surrounded them heavily, looking vigilantly at these mysterious people who could escape from them.

Their black clothes, black trousers, black hats and black shoes, even the black lacquer masks on their faces are exactly the same, like shadows that cannot be distinguished.

However, this alone should not be enough to escape from the dark guard.

"Floating catkin duckweed step?" Gewu saw the lightness kung fu used by the comer at a glance.

"No wonder Lian Wucheng found them when they approached." Gowu's words reached Qi'ao's ears, and Qi'ao understood.With Gewu's familiar tone, these people must have been sent by the demon sect, so they should have come to assassinate Aoqi.

But Qi Ao quickly overturned his own guess, the leader of the Demon Cult was not a stupid person, and directly sent people to assassinate them, unlike the way the leader of the Demon Cult dealt with them.

After this short "conversation", the air in this area seemed to freeze. No one moved, but they were all observing each other with their eyes.

After a fight in the dark just now, the dark guard judged that the martial arts of this group of mysterious people who suddenly appeared were not low, and from their aura, it could be judged that they had been trained to be cold puppets without any emotions , Even their lives have been given up in their hearts, only the order of the commander, training such a group of people, it can be seen how ruthless and hard-hearted the trainers are.

This also means that it will be a fierce fight against such a group of people who are not afraid of death.

Whoever moves first will be more likely to be discovered. Both sides are masters, and no one is willing to take such a risk.

The other party naturally understood this point, and besides that, they also had their doubts. After all, what happened tonight was something they had never encountered before, and the group of people they were facing did not seem to be low in martial arts.After thinking about it, they decided to explore each other first, to see whether Aoqi and the others were enemies or friends.

Slowly, a leading man in black raised his arm, stretched out his hand to Ao Qi and the others, and made a begging gesture.

Ao Qi and Ge Wu stood in front, blocking Cang Yuyan and Qi Ao, who had not recovered his martial arts, behind him. Facing the movements of the man in black, he did not make any reaction, only Ao Qi turned slightly sideways without any trace, and protected himself. The Ssangyong Red Feather Sword in his hand and the Phoenix Bird Lotus Sword on Qi Ao's waist.

The man in black persisted for a while, and seeing the opponent's appearance, he lowered his arms stiffly. During the whole process, his limbs were so rigid that he didn't even look like a living person.Then he seemed to disapprove of their behavior and shook his head, his neck was so stiff that Qi Ao on the opposite side was worried that his head would fall if he moved too much.

"They are..." The action of the man in black was so weird that Qi Ao had to pay more attention, so he quickly discovered the identity of the other party, "Dead man? This is the death of the devil education." scholar."

"Speaking of the hidden guards next to the eldest brother and the second brother, or the killer assassins in Xuanyang Jedi Pavilion, there are also such a group of people in the Devil's Cult, but their training level is much stricter than the general ones. I don't know how much, this is a secret that only the leader knows, but I have come into contact with a few, those people are no different from dead people, they have no emotion and no mind, they only obey the orders of the leader." It was mentioned by chance during the chat.

"What if the hidden guards confront them?" Qi Ao asked casually at that time.

"I don't know which of the two skills is better, but the dead man's fluttering duckweed step is really able to come and go without a trace, and the wind and lightning are lightning. Maybe speed and body shape are not important aspects in a fight. But when the speed and figure's levitation reach a certain limit, it will play a decisive role in victory."

What is called the speed of movement? The floating of the figure has reached the limit, and they will be lucky to witness it tonight.

The index finger of the leader man in black just moved slightly and twitched, like a spark jumping and splashing, attached to the primer of the explosive, and the primer quickly turned to ashes, and the explosive just changed from silence to Explode.

They started to move, and the target rushed towards Ao Qi and the others.

And in the second immediately following their actions, the dark guards immediately entangled them without hesitation, as if they had opened a fine net, trying to catch all these disturbing shadows that disturbed the master and the young master's meal.

Objectively speaking, the hidden guards have indeed been well-trained and coordinated this time, no matter in terms of reaction or action. Generally, no one would escape from such a skynet.However, what they were facing this time was a shadow, which could escape from the gap between their fingers, the shadow in front of their eyes, and it should have hit his entire body, but they could only watch helplessly as the corner of his clothes flowed through his palm.

Especially under such circumstances, it is most taboo to slip through the net.

Seeing a figure breaking through the siege and getting closer to them, he could clearly see his progress all the way, but he couldn't stop him at all, he could only let him float by, but the dark guards were all entangled in other dead men Around, there is no one who can fight.

Seeing this, Ao Qi leaned over slightly, staring intently at the approaching black shadow.

With a dragon cry, the red sword was unsheathed.

However, the situation suddenly changed in an instant, at the moment of Long Ming, a wave of cold metal brushed Ao Qi's cheeks and flew over, carrying a deep chill.

Faster than Ao Qi's sword is a small and compact flying knife.

The flying knife shot straight at the black shadow, and the black shadow that was floating like a ghost before could not escape unexpectedly. The silver flying knife pierced his forehead, and the black shadow fell to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, the second, third, fourth... a total of six, turned into a silver-white bird, sang and spread its wings in the night sky, gliding past the faces of Gowu and Aoqi, and quickly disappeared into the crowd In the middle, followed by six consecutive subtle "puffs", the head of the dead man with a fast and accurate bird's beak, most of the figures entangled with the dark guards disappeared in an instant, and the remaining small group of people also quickly pulled away Leaving, leaving Aoqi four and the dark guards who rushed to them quickly, except for the fallen corpses and the faint smell of blood in the air, which proved that the fight just happened was real.

This fight happened so abruptly that it ended silently. First, the dead man broke through the protection circle of the hidden guards, and then there was a sudden change in the middle, so that now there is still a trace of fear in the hearts of most of the dark guards.

The hidden guards all stood in place, facing this inexplicable battle with complicated emotions. They seemed to have just tried their best to resist but failed, and it seemed that it was over before they exerted their strength. Anyway, if it wasn't just now With the six throwing knives, the battle might not end so quickly and easily.

After looking around for a week, Ao Qi finally said the first sentence after the surprise attack: "The rest step back and continue on their way." The calm attitude shown was not affected by the situation just now.

After leaving these words behind, Ao Qi led Qi Ao into the carriage under the worried and curious eyes of the hidden guards. got in the car.The four of them behaved very calmly, as if those flying knives hadn't flew out from their direction just now, Ao Qi and Qi Ao both tacitly said nothing.

The closed car door blocked the probing eyes of the dark guards.Everyone returned to their respective positions, except for a few people left to clean up the dinner area, the carriage continued to drive towards a darker place.

It was very warm inside the car, Aoqi helped Qiao take off the veil and thin jacket outside, Qiao took off his shoes and just sat back on the couch, Aoqi helped him take the soft pillow on the side for Qiao to sleep on, He opened the cabinet again and took out the warm tea and fresh fruit prepared inside, and put them on the small plate in front of Qi'ao, letting Qi'ao go to eat the greasy meat in his mouth.

During this period, the partition door in the middle has not been closed, and after all this is settled, Ao Qi turned to Ge Wu and Cang Yuyan. A word: "Gewu." It fell to the ground like stone and iron into a sound.

As Ao Qi's words fell to the ground, Ge Wu immediately pressed Cang Yuyan against the car board with his backhand.

Qi Ao wobbled and held a teacup, lying on his side with his head on one hand, and after Ao Qi ordered Ge Wu to subdue Cang Yuyan, he raised his eyes to look at them: "No wonder Miss Cang is alone, in the midst of someone chasing her... Under the circumstances, she was able to escape so far from Yueming Island. Miss Cang looks so weak, but she possesses unique skills."

"If it wasn't for me, she would have died a long time ago." The suppressed Cang Yuyan didn't even struggle, her hair covered her face, but as soon as she opened her mouth to speak, Gowu's movements froze, and the force of suppression weakened Quite a lot.It is obviously the same voice, but the tone revealed is very different from the daytime. If it is a butterfly landing on the tip of the nose during the daytime, it is the eyes of an eagle watching its prey in the dark at night.

Taking advantage of the moment when Ge Wu's strength slackened, Cang Yuyan easily broke free from Ge Wu's suppression. She evened out the wrinkles on her clothes, and turned to face Ao Qi and Qi Ao directly. The traces turned into very indifferent and ruthless.

Seeing this, Qi Ao turned over and sat up straight, looked at the girl who suddenly changed her face with great interest, and said the cognition and judgment he had obtained through the series of events just now: "That is to say, every night you appear, solve By losing those dead men who chased you, you indirectly protected Cang Yuyan during the day, so Cang Yuyan was able to escape from Yueming Island all the way to meet us here." After finishing speaking, Qi Ao didn't even listen to Cang Yuyan's explanation. , muttering to himself with his index finger against his chin, "Oh, it's really interesting."

"You don't need to worry about it, I don't intend to stay here." Cang Yuyan stared closely at Qi'ao's every move, acquiesced to Qi'ao's speculation, and after hearing what Qi'ao had said, she proposed to leave .

She doesn't know anything about the daytime affairs, which doesn't mean she will agree with what Cang Yuyan did and chose during the daytime. Like her current identity, it is wrong to rely on strangers and walk with strangers.

Qi Ao glanced at Ao Qi, lowered his head to drink tea, Ao Qi understood Qi Ao's eyes, and took his words: "Cang Yuyan was hunted down during the day and had nowhere to escape, we saved her. What's more We spent a whole day with her, and if we wanted to plot something wrong, we would have done it long ago. We will not stop you if you want to leave, but you have to consider the situation during the day. Besides, Cang Yuyan wakes up outside tomorrow, how do you explain it? "

These words not only explained their kindness and harmlessness, but also pointed out the things that Ye Cang Yuyan was worried about, and also mentioned the issues that Cang Yuyan hadn't considered, each of which just happened to poke Ye Cang Yuyan's heart .

Ye Cang Yuyan is a smart person, even though she is full of mistrust towards these people Cang Yuyan has come into contact with during the day, she has to consider what they put forward one by one and admit that they are right, and in the end she can only choose to stay in the In the carriage.

☆, old friends

Every day through the window of the carriage, it seems that the scene seen is different.

It's time for the plum blossoms on the branches and the willows to sprout, and every tender yellow tip leaf is still stained with the fragrance of plum blossoms.The road they have traveled has changed from the dry and straight tree trunks to the colorful falling leaves, or the pear blossoms like snow, or the apricot blossoms that are as bright as a cloud in the sky, or the peach blossom buds that have just burst.It seems to be one day suddenly, but in retrospect, every day can unfold before my eyes, and the warm spring breeze blows all over the buildings, making the curtains of the buildings and pavilions curl up.

Leaning on the tower and looking out, you can already see the warm sun and Bishan Mountain in the distance, and there are spring swallows holding mud and yellow warblers singing nearby.Last night, it rained in spring, stained with fragrance and green all over the countryside, dyed the peach blossoms red, and green grass.

"It will be almost a year in a blink of an eye." With the warming spring, Qi Ao finally got Ao Qi's consent, took off the padded jacket that had been wrapped up for almost half a year, and put on a lightweight outer shirt, holding a cup in one hand and propping his head in the other, saying yes Looking at Ao Qi beside him, he said.The spring breeze blew up his wide sleeves, revealing a thin and fair wrist, with clear blue blood vessels covered under the thin skin.

Behind him, Cang Yuyan, as always, cast her admiring and admiring eyes on Qi Ao.

Ao Qi stretched out his hand to fasten Qi Ao's untied bow tie, and asked casually, "What year?"

Qi Ao smiled and pointed to himself, Ao Qi grabbed his index finger and held his hand, looking at Qi Ao didn't know what he was thinking, suddenly lowered his voice to Qi Ao: "I am in Qianyue The 17 years before the villa were all misty clouds, and it was only after you had you that it really started."

Qi Ao's backhand and Ao Qi's fingers intertwined, but his eyes turned to the beautiful scenery of a green grass field downstairs outside the fence, with willow silk around the waist of the tree: "We have just walked halfway along this road." He paused for a while before continuing, "We should be able to reach the West Mexico Country in the desert before autumn."

Ximo Kingdom is located in the northwest of Cang Kingdom, and it has been over a hundred years since its founding.The Ningdan Desert, where the West Mexico Country is located, was originally a deserted desert with a large temperature difference between day and night, dryness and lack of water, and it was not suitable for human habitation.However, just 300 years ago, the ancestors of the West Mexicans discovered an oasis in this desert, and slowly developed on the basis of the oasis, starting with small tribes, and finally jointly established a country.

Now the king of the West Mexico Kingdom is called Yuanma King. He was brave and good at fighting when he was young. When he was expanding his territory, he accidentally discovered a flower that he had never seen in the depths of the desert. He withdrew his weapons and withdrew his army for no reason. That place concentrates on raising flowers, and only returns to the palace unless something important happens. Usually, there are only the prince who is about to grow up and the beautiful young concubine left in the palace.

"Guest officer, here is the fish soup you ordered, our special dish. The season of guest officer's visit is just right, and this soup is only available when spring comes." Xiao Er walked over with a tray, which looked like a lotus leaf. The porcelain bowl inside, the fish soup inside is milky white and delicious, "Guests, be careful when drinking it, there may be a few tiny fishbone in this soup."

When Xiao Er said this, Ge Wu had just helped Ao Qi fill the soup, and was about to take the bowl that Ao Qi handed to Qi Ao, but Ao Qi put the bowl back in front of him after handing it halfway: "You drink My own, I will serve his bowl for him."

In spring, when the ice is unsealed, the reed fish roe breaks open, and the fish return. At this time, the reed fish meat is the most delicious and tender, and the one that is as long as the index finger is the most delicious.This Luhua Xunchun Soup is a soup made with reed fish as the main ingredient. It is cooked with family-inherited cooking techniques. It is a special dish of this Wangchunlou.There is a saying that "the reed flowers look for the spring to come". If you lean on the railing of the Xunchun Tower to taste the soup and enjoy the spring scenery, then it is really spring.

Qi Ao had heard about the delicacy of this fish soup a long time ago, and he mentioned it to Ao Qi in the carriage, just passing by Wangchun Tower, when the place was resting, Qi Ao and Ao Qi arrived at Wangchun Tower, Ge Wu and Cang Yuyan accompanied him.

Fortunately, this Wangchun Building is owned by Aoqi, otherwise, when the princes and nobles came to taste the reed flowers and search for spring, let alone the best location like Lin Style, there might not even be one in the lobby. Zhang Stool turns to get them.

"Is there any news about the missing Taiji Jialan Sword in Baiyan Villa?" Ao Qi filtered the fish soup again, making sure that there were no fish bones and the temperature was just right, before giving it to Qi Ao.

"No news is the clearest news." Qi'ao drank half a bowl of soup and said, "Since the Shuanglong Red Feather Sword was given to you by the owner Lian, and the whereabouts of the Phoenix Bird Lotus Sword has disappeared, people in the world have paid all their attention to it. The power is put on the Taiji Jialan sword, everyone wants to get him, so no one on the Baidao dares to act rashly, and everyone has eyes behind their backs to watch. At this time, the Demon Sect can take advantage of the vacancy and enter the villa. After the people in the village die from drinking the water from the well, they can take the sword away without hindrance. As long as the poison of the medicine is properly controlled, things can happen at night. And without anyone noticing."

"One more thing, this sword is no better than a prescription. It can only be passed down by the family and outsiders can't know it. People in the Baidao are most afraid of being deceived. Unless it is absolutely necessary, they will not kill people for money. If you really want this sword, there are many other means. Yes, which one is more upright than being poisoned in a marriage contest. There is only one reason for adopting such a vicious method. They are not welcomed by Baiyan Villa. This can only be their only method. What's more, now Taiji Jialan Sword The way is gone, if it was done by people in the White Way, they..."

Qi Ao suddenly restrained his voice, Ao Qi listened carefully and said, "Someone is here."

As soon as the words fell, I heard Xiaoer's exaggerated and enthusiastic greeting: "Mr. Mu, your seat is here, this way please."

Then came a somewhat familiar romantic voice: "Thank you, buddy." Then came the sound of a few grains hitting copper plates.

The door opened, the footsteps faded away, and the door was closed again.

Hearing that person entered the room, Qi Ao said, "Why is he here?"

"Who?"

"Mu Xiuqi." When Qi Ao said this, he looked towards Ao Qi, and when he saw that Ao Qi didn't respond, he turned his eyes away.

"My lord, who is this Mu Xiuqi?" Cang Yuyan held the bowl and waited for a long time before she could talk to Qi Ao. The blue ripples in the corners of her eyes were too eye-catching, Qi Ao looked at Cang Yu Smoke can't help but be attracted to it.

Qi Ao put down the bowl and explained to Cang Yuyan: "This is a friend I met when I was traveling abroad. He is the eldest son of the Mu family. Their family is in business. Speaking of the shipping that the Mu family has been involved in in recent years, it may be the same as yours. Moon Island also had an intersection."

"Our Yueming Island has made a living by building ships in ancient times. The skills have been passed down from generation to generation.
