When the original novel meets the hegemony of the fandom

Put a mirror, there is no intention to take a step back.

Suddenly Ao Qi moved first, stretched out his hand and pulled Qi Ao into his arms, and almost at the same time, Qi Ao hooked Ao Qi's neck and hung in his arms, laughing until he had no strength to stand up straight , Those just now seem to be hallucinations.

A small yellow flower bloomed on the lawn outside the door, and there was a small but meaningful spring light in the sun, just like the almost invisible but real softening of the corners of someone's mouth.

At night, the effect of the main house being forcibly divided into four parts is manifested.There were only the two of them in the manor, and after eating Shan Qiao in the front hall of the main house, they got into the study room. As soon as the curtain was drawn, Ao Qi was left outside to deal with the affairs of the manor, and he passed the time contentedly.

If necessary, he can stay in the main room and not go out.

The things in the villa are more than half less than before, and the biggest expense is only the materials and labor costs during construction. Even so, the layout of the newly renovated villa costs more than the initial construction of the villa. A few shops could never afford the money, so naturally Aoqi's own business line was filled in, and the newly selected butler was also an old man who was familiar with and trusted in this area, so Aoqi didn't have to spend too much money on the accounts. I was very thoughtful, I had heard about last year's expenses and calculated that there was nothing wrong with it, and after a few instructions, I asked the butler to go down first, and closed the door behind me.

When he entered the study, Qi Ao was sitting on the couch, just put down the letter in his hand, when he saw Ao Qi came in, he waved and handed the letter to him, he picked a plum from the porcelain pot on the table and swallowed it .

As soon as Meizi tasted a little sour, Aoqi read the letter: "So what Hu Jiangli said during the New Year is true?"

Qi Ao ate all the plum meat, just as he was looking for a place to spit out the pit, Ao Qi's hand stretched out in front of him, Qi Ao opened his mouth, and saw the bright red tip of his tongue pressing against the pit between his lips, like a small Like a snake.

Qi Ao, who finished vomiting, moved the cases aside, and patted the empty seat beside him: "His father used to be the protector of the Demon Cult, so it is reasonable for him to believe what the leader of the Demon Cult said. Besides, it is precisely because Dongfang Taihong His usual image is too impartial and selfless. His fiancée ran away with others, and he used his position to call on the righteous way of martial arts to kill the other party's whole family. This kind of thing is more hypocritical and dark.

"Hu Jiangli is considered lucky. Dongfang Taihong, who was young at that time, did not find him. He was able to go to Xixi Country after he left the teacher. He also entered the tunnel and found the mother stone because of his special conditions. , got the guarantee from Yesuo Shangnuo.

"If it weren't for Shen Qingyi's letter after letter saying that he wanted him back, he wouldn't have met someone from the Demon Cult who knew about this and made him want revenge, so he could die of old age in Ximen Country. But he didn't expect that after being used by the Demon Sect, he would be bitten back by the Demon Sect.

"No, he is still very unfortunate. From Dongfang Taihong, his master and brother, people from the Devil's Cult, to Yesuo Shangnuo, they don't seem to be good people. No one treats him as a human being. They just want to exploit him. conditions of.

"If it weren't for us, he would probably have died at the entrance of the tunnel together."

At the end, Qi Ao sighed regretfully.

Apart from the scramble for rare soldiers and treasures, this kind of grievance and hatred, which is obviously vulgar, will always become the reason for one after another martial arts people to be killed and families to be destroyed.For them, the former reason is still understandable, while the latter one seems to be making trouble for no reason.

It's a pity, it's just a waste of his time, when he came back to his senses, someone reported to the inside through the curtain: "Master, the hot water is ready."

The difference between the newly built shower room and the past is not only that there are more places for bathing, but also that the hot water supplied to the shower room does not need to be carried in by people. As long as there is enough hot water, it can be continuously poured from outside through special pipes sent in without being disturbed by humans.The wooden walls of the shower room can also ensure that the cooling rate inside is slowed down and the temperature maintenance time is prolonged.

This is Ao Qi's request.

It is youthful and young, and there is absolutely safe and secure meat to eat around, but often for one reason or another, two people who do not care much about this aspect can only control it, and it takes about several months to have such a once Opportunities, for example, they didn't have time to do this during the journey with Hu Jiangli until he was cleared of his charges. If they were really counted seriously, they would almost be comparable to those who pursued a pure heart and asceticism.

So once there is such an opportunity, neither of them cares about shyness and shyness. Although it is not an important and indispensable thing for them to do such a comfortable and enjoyable thing, they are quite happy.

Besides, what is there to refuse and be reserved in front of me.

With this kind of thought in mind, Qi Ao had already expected it during the day, and when he heard the servant say that, he understood what it meant. It was just a little awkward, but there was no pause or hesitation in his movements. He sat up and went to enough for the shoes he kicked off the side of the couch.

What he didn't expect was that Ao Qi would move faster than him. When he just wanted to change his movements, Ao Qi threw him on his shoulder like a sack, as if they were the same height and looked The same body type does not exist.

When Ao Qi carried Qi Ao from the study room to the bathroom, and then threw Qi Ao directly onto the bed from the bathroom, Qi Ao admired herself a little while panting, Ao Qi pushed the arm covering her eyes to the gap on both sides of her head, I can probably guess the reason why the partition between the study and the bedroom is not a curtain but just a round light shade.

The author has something to say: transition chapter

☆, guest

On this day, the Qianyue Villa, which was rebuilt after the fire, ushered in their first batch of guests, and it was also the first time that Dugu Aoqi entertained the guests as the owner of the villa.

When the head housekeeper Zhuang Ning came to the main room to report, there was a thick stack of account books in front of Aoqi's desk.

"Tell them to rest in their room first, and have lunch ready to be delivered to their room, and I will explain the reason to them in the evening." Ao Qi ordered.

Zhuang Ning is a man in his late fifties. Judging by his peaceful demeanor, no one will associate him with the big bosses of Jinzhenzhai, Jinshanzhuang, and Beizhuque. Now he is the butler of Qianyue Villa to repay his kindness. It has to be said that the experience he accumulated before in the management of the villa saved Aoqi a lot of things.

After hearing Aoqi's short words, Zhuang Ning had already made up his mind, and he was about to turn around to make arrangements, but suddenly remembered something: "The owner, the kitchen said that the hibiscus milk curd is ready, should I serve it now or wait for it?" Send it after the young master wakes up?"

Before Ao Qi could speak, a voice sounded from behind the screen: "Send it in when it's done."

"Yes, my lord." Zhuang Ning smiled knowingly, and took the door behind him to set up.

Qi Ao had just adjusted the neckline, when he raised his eyes, he saw Ao Qi walking around the screen.I slept soundly last night, and when I woke up with Ao Qi in the morning, Qi Ao was still a little confused, after washing up and having breakfast, the two returned to their respective places, Ao Qi took care of things ahead, Qi Ao waited for the news of the secret envoy. The room was quiet for a while, Xun Xun Ran Qiao didn't get over the drowsiness.

It was only half an hour, since Ao Qi felt the difference in breathing behind the screen, he walked around the screen to look at it several times, until the housekeeper came to announce the arrival of the guests.

"I didn't let him send the letter from Ziye just now, so I put it in my place first." While talking about Ao Qi, he handed several special envelopes to Qi Ao, "The news just arrived, the progress of the waterway It's going well, and it's coming to the final stage soon." Except for some minor problems, the whole process went very smoothly, but it doesn't make people feel that something is wrong.

Although Ge Wu had no direct contact with this matter, because he was specially instructed to pay attention to the timeliness of information, he explained the latest progress to Ao Qi in almost three to five days. Didn't see any problem.

Qi Ao flipped through the letter in his hand and replied, "Huh?"

"What Mu Xiuqi means is that he still has a few more in his hands, but they are all relatively large."

Qi Ao glanced at him with a half-smile, but still focused on the news from Huayou: "Are you afraid that you will lose everything if you invest in it?"

Ao Qi knew that Qi Ao was making fun of him, and also understood what Qi Ao meant.

Squeezing Qi Ao just heard two knocks on the door, when Ao Qi came in with a small bowl, he saw Qi Ao neatly dressed: "Where are you going?"

"Flower friend is fine here." Qi Ao looked up a little confused: "Didn't you say that a guest is here?"

"With Zhuang Ning making arrangements, there is no need for you to be the host to receive it." Speaking of this, Aoqi suddenly thought of something, and his expression was a little strange, and he still said under his throat, "If you are fine, you can stay here. Take a break, if you are bored, ask Zhuang Ning to get you a book, it is very sunny outside, we will wait until the sun goes down before going out."

Qi Ao took the lotus milk and nodded without any objection.

After making arrangements for Qi Ao, no matter whether Qi Ao didn't insist on going out because he was obedient or it didn't matter, Ao Qi was satisfied with the result and returned to his position to deal with the pile of things. Ao Qi twisted his somewhat stiff neck and put down his pen.

Almost at the same time as Ao Qi walked to the bed, Qi Ao opened his eyes abruptly, seeing clearly that it was Ao Qi, Qi Ao relaxed his body and rubbed his eyes.He was covered with a thin quilt, and it was already a bit hot in this weather, Ao Qi reached out and touched his forehead to make sure he wasn't sweating before helping him lift the quilt: "Fall asleep again?"

"It's just rested for a while. Recently, my energy is very good. I get dizzy easily after sleeping too much." Qi Ao sat on the bed and watched Ao Qi help him bring over his outer clothes. "It's easy to get dizzy after staying in the room for a long time." Obvious meaning.

Perhaps it was because he had finished a lot of things and was in a good mood to have a good rest at night. Ao Qi raised his eyebrows and ignored Qi Ao's accusation, even with a relaxed tone: "It's time to go to the dining room." Take it from the side to the front of the collapse.

At this time, the guests should have been led to the dining hall, although the host has never been unable to serve the dinner, all kinds of exquisite and delicious pastries and fragrant tea will not stop after the guests are seated, not to mention that Ao Qi pays special attention to food, this guest also It can be regarded as a blessing.

This kind of treatment can't be said to be very respectful, but I can't find anything inconsiderate. Ao Qi and the others have a good reason, and they are indeed involved in official duties.More importantly, Aoqi and the others clearly understand that the guests will not feel dissatisfied with being slack in the slightest, even if they are left out for a day, they will always thank them and accept the arrangement given. They were treated as guests.

Ao Qi will not admit that there is a little selfishness in it.

Or rather, he didn't realize it himself.

Two lines of lanterns led the team like a flowing river of light, caged Ao Qi and the two of them, and approached the dining room step by step, while the guests who were waiting to hear the news stood up from their seats and hurriedly Organize your appearance.

The voice of the butler outside the door sounded at the same time as the sound of pushing the door open.

Pushing aside the barrier that blocked people's sight, outside the door, one was indifferent, the other was kind, and they all had a slightly apologetic expression, which was in stark contrast to the gradually frozen expression inside the door.

As if he didn't feel the strange atmosphere, Qi Ao first explained: "Master Lian and Miss Lian, you are safe and sound. I kept you two waiting for a long time, but today I really can't get away. I hope the family will not neglect you." Two."

In the past, the owner of Baiyan Mountain Villa, the owner of Lian Zhuang who had two dragons, phoenixes, birds, Tai Chi and three swords, and now Lian Fu Hua, an ordinary man with a surviving daughter, quickly reacted after Qi Ao said: "Dugu..." He originally wanted to Speaking of the owner of the Dugu Village, but he looked at the two people in front of him and changed his words, "It's our honor for you two to host a banquet to invite my little girl and me during your busy schedule."

Behind Lian Fuhua, Lian Zhirou's hands trembled uncontrollably under the sleeves, and only the sound of her own breathing was in her ears.The light in her eyes kept shattering and shining again, suddenly she grasped the last straw, and suddenly she lost her soul, and it was bright, but her voice seemed to be strangled, and she couldn't make a sound until Zhuang Ning After bringing them to the dinner table, Lian Zhirou regained consciousness in a trance, but the starlight in her eyes had completely disappeared.

"This is my twin brother, Dugu Qi'ao." As soon as he sat down, Ao Qi explained Qi'ao's identity, "Young Master Dugu."

Lian Fu Huazai looked at Ao Qi carefully, then looked at Qi Ao, and was amazed: "It's really twin brothers, they look exactly the same, although they have different styles, they are all dragons and phoenixes, regardless of each other. Brother."

"Even the owner of the village is overwhelmed." Qi Ao smiled and picked up a glass of wine.

Lian Fu Hua drank this glass of wine and put down the glass: "I'm not the owner of the estate anymore. Now I just hope that after my death, my little girl can live this life in peace, and I don't think about anything in the world anymore." At the beginning, he said Although there was a slight melancholy in his brows at the time, it quickly turned into a free and easy one, and it seemed that he had really let go of the Jianghu affairs.

Hearing Lian Fuhua's words, Lian Zhirou raised her lowered eyes slightly, and looked in one direction.

Qi Ao changed his expression, solemn and respectful: "In any case, even the owner of the villa is a senior I respect, and this will not change because of some things. Since the owner of the village has arrived at Qianyue Villa, we will take this Treat it as your own home, relax everything, and tell Zhuang Ning directly if you need anything."

Lian Fu Hua flashed a wry smile on his face, but he gave up and stopped insisting.

After drinking for three rounds, the guests and the host enjoyed themselves, Lian Fu Hua mentioned his main purpose of coming to Qianyue Villa: "Master, it seems that now you have successfully integrated the mother stone into the Shuanglong Chiyu Sword?"

Ao Qi didn't hide anything, and asked Lian Fu Hua to present the Shuanglong Red Feather Sword beside him.

He used to think that the brilliance of the sword when it came out of the oven was already the most dazzling he had ever seen, but now that he saw it, he realized that what he saw back then was less than one-tenth of what he saw now.That dazzling light has disappeared, but the strength and force emanating from it makes people tremble, and one can imagine what it will be like when it is waved in Ao Qi's hand.

Even Fu Hua couldn't hold back his old tears. Looking at Shuanglong Chiyujian's eyes, it seemed that the sea in the storm was rising, and it had not calmed down for a long time. Even Zhirou held his arm worriedly.

Such agitated emotions were finally let out by Lian Fu Hua with a long breath. He returned the sword to Ao Qi, and said peacefully: "In this case, you can prepare to sacrifice the sword tomorrow." He raised his hand and interrupted Ao Qi. Qi's words, "I can see the Shuanglong Chiyujian in its most perfect state with my own eyes. Even if I die in this life, I can rest in peace. Since you have fused it with the mother stone, the last thing is not for you, it has nothing to do with you." , is just my wish."

Ao Qi nodded when he heard this: "If there is anything that needs to be prepared, just tell me, and I will let them do it. But there is only one thing." He glanced at Qi Ao who was concentrating on eating, "I will distribute it to the various sects. I have issued a convening letter, hoping to call them to fight against Wan Shazong, instead of blindly avoiding and being a coward, there will be about five or six months in the middle, can it be completed within this time?"

"Actually, sacrificial swords are not as complicated and dangerous as I thought. As long as the girl's body is replenished, not to mention one sword in two months, two are enough." Lian Fu Hua patted Lian Zhirou's hand, Then he was a little sad, "It's a pity that the other two swords have fallen into the hands of who is now, otherwise the combination of the three swords is the best."

"Master Lian, who owns the Taiji Jialan Sword now, I think you will have a feeling." Feeling that Lian Fu Hua had just said half of what he said, Ao Qi simply brought up this topic directly.

Even Fu Hua seemed to have aged a lot in an instant, and he was a lot weaker when he spoke: "You mean...?" Touching that horrible and sad memory is something he has been unwilling to do after experiencing it. .

"The matter of Baiyan Mountain Villa was done by Wan Shazong. Although there is no conclusive evidence, I believe that even the experience and wisdom of the owner of the villa should have been doubted for a long time." Ao Qi did not intend to give Lian Fu Hua Give yourself a chance to breathe.

"Yes, because of this, even if I knew who would be the culprit, I wouldn't dare to do anything else." Lian Fu Hua stretched out his hand and clenched his fist. The hands that forged the three universal swords are now covered with With blue veins and soft skin, so weak, "After all, I am nothing now."

Perhaps because of the influence of Lian Fu Hua's emotions, Ao Qi became a little more awe-inspiring: "Lian Zhu doesn't have to blame himself so much, everyone can punish a street mouse like Wan Shazong."

"If the owner of the Dugu Village can help me avenge the sword and extermination of the clan, I will treat Fu Huasheng as a cow and a horse for the rest of my life!" Qi Ao, who was silent for a long time, stretched out his hand and knelt down Lian Fu Hua, seeing that he was too emotional, asked the maid to refill a cup of tea for Lian Fu Hua.

When Lian Fu Hua was able to catch his breath, Qi Ao gently persuaded him: "Since we have already arrived at Qianyue Villa, the owner of the villa doesn't need to think too much about these things. As for the black and white in the world, there will always be someone Time is up. Zhuang Lian mainly takes care of his body, which is the most important thing."

Lian Fu Hua held Qi Ao's hand and nodded vigorously, then cast his eyes on Ao Qi, he was very optimistic about Ao Qi at that time, and now it seems that Qi Ao's gentleness is no less elegant, but it's a pity that Lian Zhirou was on the tip of her horn at that time, Now both of them are ambitious and they are people who want to do big things, so it is impossible for them to talk about marriage and hold them back.

It was a pity that after a while, the banquet came to an end, and even Fu Hua could only repay them with his last bit of beneficial information: "Master, you must be very careful of the people of Wanshazong. Although the Taiji Jialan sword is slightly weaker in power, It is inferior to Ssangyong Red Feather Sword and Phoenix Bird Lianhua Sword, but it can combine the other two swords for its own use. The stronger the Ssangyong Chiyu Sword is, the higher the Tai Chi bonus will be after being integrated into Tai Chi. The three swords combined can command the world From now on, there is only Tai Chi and no more dragons and phoenixes. It is really a sinister trick that hurts others and benefits oneself. Now that the whereabouts of the phoenix bird and lotus sword are unknown, the double dragon red feather sword is even more in danger!"

"Thank you, Master Lian, for your reminder." If that's the case, he has figured out something.Ao Qi looked at Qi Ao, and saw the same joy in his eyes.

☆, if

"My lord." The woman under the moonlight became more and more slender, and the breeze blew her a few strands of black hair, fluttering like a fairy, with pitiful eyes, full of the other's figure wholeheartedly, so she still reserved and proper distance from each other.

Facing the first meaningful woman he met while away from home, Qi Ao precisely adjusted the curvature of his eyebrows and the corners of his mouth to perfectly match the nerdy student in the memory of the other party: "Why did Miss Lian seek me? "

"That night," Lian Zhirou twisted her fingers uneasily, her voice could no longer hide the tremor, but it seemed that a root had grown under her feet, and this root grew out of her heart, "Isn't it the one who came to look for me?" you?"

Qi Ao was confused for a moment, this bit of confusion clearly fell into Lian Zhirou's eyes, she didn't even need to open her mouth, the other party already got the answer.

A burst of frost suddenly swept through her heart, and cold sweat oozes from the back of this coming summer night: "So, the Phoenix Bird Lotus Sword is also in the hands of the owner of Dugu Village?" She knew what it meant, she He thought about it more, for example, the elder brother pretended to be the younger brother insidiously and cheated the Phoenix Bird Lotus Sword, but the younger brother has been kept in the dark, and all kinds of deceptions and deceptions that the brother and friend Gong may have suffered behind the scenes even appeared in his mind.

The next moment, Qi Ao broke her thought: "Phoenix Niao Lianhua Sword? Ao Qi took it that night and gave it to me." With a look of course.

"But father said you don't know martial arts." After hurriedly saying this, she realized her impoliteness, Lian Zhirou's face flushed with shame.

Faced with such recklessness, Qi Ao still remained calm and calm, and explained the reason to Lian Zhirou earnestly: "I have been weak since childhood, often fell ill, and I am not suitable for martial arts training. Saving my own life is enough for me. The sword Aoqi said, since it was given to me, it is mine, but I don't often wear a sword, so I put it in the room. "

When it comes to Ao Qi, Qi Ao's face is full of trust in his elder brother, as if he has fallen into the unique small world between the two, and no one else can enter.

Such a situation made Lian Zhirou's heart sore, she couldn't restrain the waves in her heart, but these waves were just a small step forward for her: "Did the owner of the Dugu village tell you that my Waiting for you at the pavilion? Do you know about that letter?" In the end, six parts of the sadness in my heart were grievances, and four parts were faint hopes, all of which became like pearls of light in the eyes of the moon.

The wind blew the shadows of the trees swaying, occasionally covering Lian Zhirou's body like a monster crawling with its teeth and claws.

Qi Ao shook his head, and whispered: "I don't know about these things." His voice was too low, and he couldn't hear his emotions clearly.

"Then if you knew..." Perhaps affected by Qi Ao's emotions, even Zhirou even breathed lightly, but the ups and downs of her chest revealed her nervousness.

Without a moment's pause, Qi'ao shook his head again, very earnestly and sincerely: "There is never any if." The voice reached Lian Zhirou's ears very clearly.

"What about now?" The wind blew even harder, and Lian Zhirou felt that her words were scattered in the air as soon as she spoke, maybe this was a good thing instead.

But through the messy hair, Lian Zhirou saw that Qi Ao's expression gradually became serious: "The most important thing now is how to deal with the Wansha Sect. My brother is devastated by this. How can I spend my time at this time."

In a trance, Lian Zhirou felt that she understood something, but the wind blew into her mind and messed up everything again.Lian Zhirou could feel that following Qi'ao's words, her heart kept falling, and finally landed on a soft but icy ground, surrounded by endless darkness, annihilated the small cluster of flames on her heart.She heard herself say in a familiar yet unfamiliar voice: "I see."

"Miss Lian has been exhausted all the way, so let's go back early and rest." Qi Ao also returned to his gentle manner.

"Can you please promise me one thing?" Seeing that Qi Ao already had the intention of leaving, Lian Zhirou straightened her back and looked into the other party's eyes solemnly, "I have completed my job as a sword guard." I will leave Qianyue Mountain Villa after I finish my mission, I hope you can arrange a good place for me, the only requirement is that I have the ability to let my father spend his old age peacefully."

This is actually a somewhat unreasonable request. The sword guard is raised in a deep boudoir. Even if the villa suffers, he will be quickly taken over by Ao Qi. He has never had any experience in the world. Where does the possibility of self-reliance come from? However, Qi Ao only thought about it. For a moment: "Miss Lian Si from Baiyan Villa must have a unique vision for jewelry. I would also like to ask Miss Lian to enter Beizhu Que and give some pointers to the batch of hairpins, rings, bracelets and chains that are about to enter the shop."

Lian Zhirou nodded in thanks, and left under the escort of people arranged by Qi Ao.

Lian Zhirou's back was no longer visible, Qi Ao turned around and walked towards his room, when passing by a clump of trees, the monster with teeth and claws appeared from the shadows.

"Should I be glad that Lian Zhirou finally found out that something was wrong and had the courage to confess her heart, at this time and in her current identity?" The monster's voice was full of danger of repelling blood, and its sharp claws were waiting for a mistake, giving him a new life A reason to slit someone's throat.

Although Qi Ao denied the current possibility, but regarding the situation at that time mentioned by Lian Zhirou, she only said "no if", and did not give a clear yes or no.In terms of Qi Ao's personality, Lian Zhirou might not understand what Qi Ao meant, but Ao Qi knew it perfectly.

Qi Ao acted as if he didn't feel threatened at all, but became more calm: "Have you forgotten how I met Ran Ran and the others?" When she said this, it was completely natural.

That's right, the two of them fell into the cliff together at that time, so it can be regarded as living and dying together, so it's nothing compared to sharing the same bed for a few months when they first met.

Thinking of Lian Zhirou's lonely leaving figure and Qi Ao's arrangement, the beast's breath gradually faded away.It doesn't make any sense to dwell on the past. Neither he nor Qiao likes to look back at history, or he suddenly realized that no matter how many ifs there are, the result will be the same. The person he needs will eventually Only by his side.

"Tomorrow Lian Zhirou will start offering sword sacrifices," said Ao Qi with some relief, "The advantage of being in the villa is that you can take care of it all the time. I don't think I was thrown into the desert alone. I can't see anyone else."

Qi Ao grinned: "The sword sacrifice will only take five days, and if there is anything that needs to be made up, let Zhuang Ning prepare first."

"Of course I know that." Hearing Ji Gengji's time report, Ao Qi lost the leisurely mood for a walk, and held Qi Ao's hand, "It's getting late, it's time to go to bed."

Qi Ao was pulled behind Aoqi with a happy smile on his face, he took Aoqi's hand with his backhand, leaving the night wind and moon far behind him.

Two months is not a short period of time, it is enough for the sharp corners of the pond to bloom with a touch of pink, against the emerald green of the pool, dripping crystal water droplets swirl in this emerald green plate, symbolizing the end of the year. The arrival of summer.A carriage left Qianyue Mountain Villa, leaving behind a cloud of dust, which was hit by falling raindrops. Two white flowers opened on paper umbrellas at the gate of the villa watched the carriage leave, then turned and walked into the villa.

"The head of the Shuijingjian Sect and his three disciples will arrive in the afternoon of tomorrow. The Fuyi Sect and the Tianni Sect are on the same journey. There are still eight days away from here. The other sects will arrive within half a month." Zhuang Zhuang Ning followed the two of them, reporting the news he had just received in the morning.

"Arrange according to what I said yesterday." Qi Ao said, "If you have any questions, please report to me in time."

A group of people arrived at the door of the main room, and the maid opened the door ahead of time when the master came back. The people behind them all stopped in front of the door, and only Zhuang Ning followed them into the room.

"This is today's letter from Boss Ge." Zhuang Ning took out the letter from his cuff and presented it to Ao Qi, saluted with lowered eyes, then closed the door and left.

Seeing Ao Qi sitting at the table unfolding the letter, looking as if he was about to fall into a state of concentration, Qi Ao flicked his sleeves and went to the study again, but just as he lifted his foot, Ao Qi stopped him: "This morning Mu Xiuqi conveyed the letter. What's the news for you?" This news was not conveyed by Gowu, but passed directly from Yinming to Qi'ao.

After being processed by Qi Ao, their information network was divided into three channels, one for business news, one for rivers and lakes intelligence, and one for the secret guards around them.After the waterway, Mu Xiuqi has come up with several good business cooperation one after another. Among them, the salt field and the copper mine are the most important. There will be a certain price for getting it. The price they pay is the inevitable exchange of information and communication. It is impossible to communicate through pigeons every day.

No matter what the considerations are, it is undeniable that after these several cooperations, the line of business has already had a deep intersection and penetration with Mu Xiuqi.

The copper mine business was gradually on the right track, and Mu Xiuqi naturally began to look for the next opportunity to make money.

Different from Ao Qi, Mu's family is considered a well-known family among businessmen, and has more or less connections with officials. Therefore, Mu Xiuqi has connections and has that position, so he can get some things that Ao Qi can't get. resource.However, his ability is limited to this. He got a salt field and a copper mine, which is equivalent to a water channel that was picked up by others. It may be that they are lucky to be able to move at such a fast speed. On the right track, and with his qualifications, it is impossible to fall on his head again.

But Mu Xiuqi didn't intend to stop there, even though he already had enough accumulation.

If there is less than a single point of contention in the court, then turn your attention to the rivers and lakes.

Mu Xiuqi still meant that. I have a mature information organization, flexible personnel arrangements, and some roots in martial arts, which can help you become a martial arts leader. I am a pure businessman. I have no interest in martial arts, I just hope that after you become the leader of the martial arts, I will have more opportunities to earn some money from the martial arts people.

From the point of view of Mu Xiuqi, a businessman, the four characters of martial arts leader are not only a symbol of the best martial arts in the world or an authority that orders the world to dare not to obey. Everything will be more convenient, time and opportunity are very important for businessmen, even if it is a small restaurant, people from the rivers and lakes have to give up three points to enter here.

When Mu Xiuqi mentioned this to Aoqi last time, it was obvious that he himself might not have figured out what he wanted, but this time his thoughts were much more mature, so what he presented to Aoqi and the others It is a very clear and clear devotion and gain, which happens to be a manifestation of sincerity.

In order to further demonstrate his sincerity, Mu Xiuqi attached two small notes to the news, about those sects in the north that are not as famous as the five sects today, but are deeply rooted and hard to shake.

These are the information that they need a certain amount of time and energy to find out, but they are very important for winning the support of these sects.

More importantly, Wan Shazong, his main altar is on the top of Langji Mountain in the north, which is known as the place where ghosts never return.

For Aoqi and the others, it is like exchanging and sharing business information. If Mu Xiuqi is allowed to participate, it means that the Jianghu intelligence line will also be exposed to the public, and they will cooperate with Mu Xiuqi.

"How?" Ao Qi asked for Qi Ao's opinion.

"There are still fifteen days." Qi Ao told Ao Qi what he had planned long ago, "Except for the five sects, most of the sects who came this time are still from this side. Only the sects in the north sent congratulatory letters.
