It's better to regret after being killed by Wanshazong. "
There are thousands of emotions in these words, like fireworks rising into the sky vigorously, with a deafening sound exploding fire meteors in the air, illuminating half of the night sky and leaving a silence, but it is even more lethal. People are turbulent physically and mentally.
Su Cha took a deep breath and clasped his fists together: "What Master Dugu said is absolutely true! A person like Master Dugu is a great hero with a heart for everyone. Compared with you, we are just cowardly and cowardly people. A villain Su Mou is really ashamed to know the heart of a gentleman." After speaking, Su Cha bowed deeply to Ao Qi.
Ao Qi supported Su Cha with a heavy but firm tone: "Brother Su, I'm not a big hero. I also want to guard Qianyue Villa and live my next life in peace. It is precisely because of this that I am more Clearly see the sword overhead."
There was no one around, and even Su Cha's thoughtful footsteps had faded away, as if it had also taken away the surging heat on Aoqi's face.Ao Qi moved a little step to the side, and then approached the shadow cast by the green bamboo, but only for a moment, when he spoke again, there was no trace of fullness and richness: "Come out." His expression was so cold that the silver light on the ground It also froze into hoarfrost.
"Young master has arrived in Lincheng today, but just after the sun set, he found an inn in the city and said he wanted to rest," Yin Ming reported his work dutifully, and added after thinking, "We can arrive at the villa tomorrow. "
"Tomorrow?" Ao Qi chewed this time between his lips and teeth, tasting it with his tongue.
☆, night travel
The doors and windows were tightly locked, there were no candles in the house, and the whole room was completely invisible.This inn does not look like the most luxurious and luxurious inn, and the layout of the room is similar to that of an ordinary inn. At first glance, it looks the same, but when you actually live in a room, you will find that the seemingly simple and small room , but the tables and chairs in the room were covered with valuable brocade satin, and soft and long-lasting incense was lit all night to soothe the hearts of the guests.
Even though at night, the tables and chairs were put back as they were before, and there were no wrapped and unwashed clothes as far as the eyes could reach. It proves that there are indeed guests living in this room.
The hanging dark bed curtains crossed and overlapped to completely block the view inside the bed.
The air flows in the direction of the bed without stopping, and then stops at the head of the bed.
In the middle of the night, even the sound of breathing could be heard clearly, a hand came out of the darkness in vain, and opened one side of the bed curtain.
The person in the bed who was supposed to be sound asleep was sitting cross-legged on the bed with a thin blanket in his arms. The collar he had rubbed off while sleeping revealed half of his shoulders and the faint marks on his shoulders.He was tilting his head and looked at the owner of that hand with a vagueness that others could hardly detect: "Good evening, Aoqi." In such a dark night, the light flowing in that person's eyes reminded him of the lively pool tonight. The lake under the moon.
"Good evening." Almost the same voice sounded again in the room, as if echoing, "Qi'ao."
Qi Ao fell back on the bed again, half-opened his eyes to see Ao Qi who really appeared out of nowhere took off his coat and lay down next to him, and laughed: "Why do you always come by night?"
Ao Qi didn't reply, and stretched out his arms to wrap around Qi Ao's waist.Surrounded by the familiar air, Qiao completely closed his eyes.
The journey to Jiangshipo was full of wind and dust, and when they came back, the group slowed down deliberately in order to meet Qi Ao's intentions, and they were approaching Qianyue Mountain Villa day by day, so they could hear the birdsong outside the window in the morning. A little more intimacy.
"My lord, the face wash is ready." Although Qi Ao likes to sleep, his work and rest are still normal. In the past, Qi Ao has already woken up by this time, and Jing Nu brings the water into the room and then she can continue to serve Qi Ao to wash and change clothes. .
It was the same today. Jing Nu knocked on the door and found that the door had been unbolted. She opened the door and entered the room. When she raised her eyes, she saw someone sitting by the bed. Can't see anything.
Jing Nu was stunned for a while, then put down the water: "Master."
As soon as the words fell, the bed curtain was lifted a little bit, revealing another face, still staring in bewilderment, it looked like he hadn't woken up yet, he shook his body twice with a "hmm", With his forehead resting on the shoulder of the person in front of him, he seemed to have fallen asleep again.
Under the approval of Ao Qi's gaze, Jing Nu closed the door and left the room with a stiff expression.
When Ao Qi helped Qi Ao tie her hair, the sun was almost in the sky. Qi Ao touched his stomach, and when he was half asleep, Ao Qi fed him a small bowl of porridge and two jujube cakes, and he still feels safe.
"Hungry?" Qi Ao could tell that Ao Qi said it on purpose.
Qi Ao shook his head: "I'm a bit tired of eating in the morning. Will you be fine if you're not in the villa for a day?"
"Always give them some time to communicate in private." Ao Qi helped Qi Ao tie up her hair, patted Qi Ao's shoulder with satisfaction, and brought Qi Ao a glass of water.
The clear water washed away the sticky feeling in the stomach, and also made Qi'ao's head run more smoothly, enough for him to know what happened in the villa. The corner of his mouth curled up behind the cup, and he calmly handed the cup back to Ao Qi , and then pointed in the direction of the bed.
Ao Qi found a letter and a Moyu finger wrench beside the bed.
Qi Ao sat at the table and explained: "This is a token from the head of Fengyun Dao to the owner of Dugu Village in Qianyue Mountain Villa. The head of Fengyun Dao personally promised in front of his disciples that with these two tokens, if there is any need for their help at that time , all you need is a word from the owner of the Dugu village, and they will definitely do their best to help the owner."
Ao Qi put these two things on the table: "Only these two things?"
Qi Ao curled her lips helplessly: "Although Feng Yunfei's physical condition has gradually stabilized, she has not yet fully recovered. She needs to rest for three months to ensure that the wound is completely healed. Before that, do not make any movements to avoid secondary injuries. That is to say, for the past three months, she can only eat, drink, and sleep in bed." At the end, Qi Ao couldn't help showing a trace of pity, "For a girl, this kind of poison is too vicious. "
"If it wasn't for such a disease, it wouldn't be worth a life-saving soul egg, and if it wasn't for a life-saving soul egg, it wouldn't be able to exchange for these two tokens." Ao Qi held the wrench in his hand and tossed it back and forth, saying How hard-earned this thing is, the action did not show how precious it is.
Qi Ao was noncommittal, and it wasn't something that required too much entanglement, so he thought about it and changed the subject: "What happened to the mine?"
"Just two nights after I went there, I caught someone in the mine. It was a local young man. Gou asked clearly that night that he was a member of the patriarch's family. He wanted them to play tricks and ask for three or five times more money. The result When they confronted them in public, the patriarch meant to abandon them and throw them to Gowu to do with him. The young man had a bad temper and made a fuss with the patriarch on the spot. If Gowu hadn't watched the timing, they would have almost revealed the matter .” It was exactly the same as what he had guessed at the beginning.
"Gewu is getting better and better at handling these things." Qi Ao smiled and watched Jing Nu silently opened the door and brought the lunch to the table, still praising Ao Qi.
The plates were all over the table in a blink of an eye, Ao Qi glanced at the right quantity of dishes, and told Jing Nu: "Go back to the villa when the sun is past and the most poisonous." He said and filled the soup Put it in front of Qi Ao.
The meat of the white shrimp is made into flexible slices, and the five petals are stacked into the shape of a flower. The reddish petals are closed, like flower buds that have not yet bloomed. They are steamed until they are crystal clear and placed on the dark brown soup. Gently touch the top of the petals with chopsticks, you can hear a slight "pop", just like a real flower blooming, and the milky white juice in the "bud" will also spray out, melt into the brown soup and roll, gradually you can see The soup becomes as clear as water.
There was only one transparent water flower left, floating freely on the clear soup that had completely lost its color.
☆, cast a net
The noisy voice in the hall during the day seemed to still be echoing in my ears, even though these people had already left Qianyue Mountain Villa in the afternoon, and returned to their sects to arrange affairs for each faction, and now there was no guest in the villa.
Qi Ao stopped his hand playing the piano and rubbed his wrist.
Two disciples of Qingqu, the elder of the Tianni Sect, were found hanging upright over the well in the courtyard. Their severed arms were tied to their bodies with red strings. There were obvious signs of fighting on their bodies. It is speculated that they were cruelly cut off by the other party because they refused to let go when protecting Lingyuelian. The arms were sawed off from the body.
Such a cruel method is just to snatch a Lingyuelian, which is not particularly rare, and the reason why Lingyuelian was snatched is very obvious after a little thought-to accelerate the improvement of Lingyuelian's water yin image The skill of Taiji Jialan Sword.
Just as the burning iron mother stone is to the Shuanglong Chiyu Sword, and the blue iron mother stone is to the Fengniao Lianhua Sword, the Ssangyong Chiyu Sword and the Fengniao Lianhua Sword are the "two mother stones" of the Taiji Jialan Sword. In Aoqi's hand, the whereabouts of one is unknown. It is impossible for the Sect Master of the Wansha Sect to watch the Shuanglong Chiyujian being strengthened and remain indifferent, but if he wants to improve the Taiji Jialan Sword, he can only use other yin and yang things in the world.
This time it was Lingyuelian from the Tianni Sect, and the next time it was Beast Yangsha from Mad Saber Sha, one of the five great sects, or Canghuoshi from Liexinju, one of the three halls, no one knew.
Originally there were Su Cha who supported Ao Qi and Bai Yushang who had a ambiguous attitude, plus the Tianni faction whose position had changed instantly after this incident, and the head of Fengyun Dao lobbying in the three northern halls, the martial arts righteous way joined forces to attack Wan Sha Zong has become a certainty.
Unreasonable and expected, when selecting the leader, Ao Qi was unanimously pushed to this position in front of many seniors from the five sects.
When he was in leadership, he was restricted by the five sects because of his status in the world. If he really suffered retaliation, Dugu Aoqi's Qianyue Villa would be the first to bear the brunt, not one of the five sects. This is a very cost-effective business. .
At that time, Dugu Aoqi, the owner of Qianyue Mountain Villa, who was jumping with joy and surprise and looking eager to try, almost broke his waist when thanking him, should not have noticed this, but how could Aoqi and Qiao not have expected it in advance.
Qi Ao was out of his mind for a while, and when he came to his senses again, Ao Qi had already sat on the stone chair beside him, Qi Ao asked someone to remove the piano, and replaced it with freshly brewed Cui Yu wine, and gave himself a glass of Ao Qi .For a long time, the two of them didn't have the opportunity to sit and drink quietly like this. Ao Qi was going to be his heroic Jianghu hero, and Qi Ao only went out for a trip, and Shi Po usually stayed in Zhuangzi. Walking around, it seems that the two of them haven't been alone for a long time, but today's scene seems extraordinarily peaceful and strange.
Ao Qi drank very fast, he had already drank three glasses in a row, Qi Ao was still slowly sipping the glass in his hand, the drink was cool and refreshing, like raindrops falling on the lake outside the pavilion, breaking it into pieces. A pool of candle sparks sparkled, setting off a crystal clear snow on the tip of the tongue.
"Do you have any sure news from the Wansha Sect?" Qi Ao pinched the wine glass with his fingers, and the aroma of the wine swayed and diffused with his movements.
Wanshazong is located on the top of Langji Mountain, which is extremely easy to defend and difficult to attack. The mountain road has thousands of tricky traps set up by the world's number one machine. The roads are complicated and confusing, and if you are not careful, you will enter a dead end and you will never return. Therefore, the Wansha Sect, which occupies such a dangerous terrain, can stand safely.
Coupled with the Wansha Sect's extensive news network in Jianghu, I am afraid that once they have any plans, the Wansha Sect Master will get the news faster than other sects.
As early as two months ago, they began to search for the news network arranged by Wan Shazong in the martial arts, but the other party was obviously more detailed than they thought.Unlike them and Huayou, who set up point by point in inns and restaurants, Wan Shazong's information is for each individual, just like grabbing a handful of sand and throwing it into the desert, there is almost no possibility of distinguishing it.
Not to mention that Gowu vowed to break away from Wanshazong, and no longer mentioned any relevant news. All the information about Wanshazong was controlled by Wanshazong, and Gowu was just an order recipient at the beginning.
That's why Aoqi and the others made no progress on this matter.
"Didn't you say that, since you can't find it, you can create one. So many fish fry are scattered, and there will always be one or two surviving in every area." Ao Qi glanced at Qi Ao, and filled it for himself again. A glass of wine, "Today is the harvest season."
There are two kinds of people accepted by the Wansha Sect, one is heinous and vicious, who is used to seeing blood, and the other is pure and easy to be deceived and controlled. That kind of ignorant young man is much easier to play, and there is an elderly mother or an ignorant little sister at home, and he is the perfect candidate for Wan Shazong.
Although it is said that such a small fry is at most spotted and then secretly investigated for identity, accepted for observation, and assigned to make him unaware that it is a task. Through the task, he can identify which things respond quickly and meet the requirements, and then concentrate Training, but as long as there is such a thread, it is enough for them to follow the vine.
This should be a long-term matter, but they don't have so much time to infiltrate each other's network, so they can only change a method, as long as they are careful everywhere, there will be no major problems.
The net sank below the surface of the water, and was tied with an indistinct rope, so thin that it was almost invisible, so that only a small piece of net could be pulled out of the water, and water dripped down, disturbing countless ripples.
Naturally, this thread is not used in this way.
Some time ago, the "shadow" of Wanshazong was contacted much more frequently around Tianni Sect than in other places. It is obvious that Wanshazong is collecting information and supervising the situation. The other five sects, including Qianyue Villa, must also There are also people from the Wansha Sect, but they just stand still, and the focus is not on them for the time being.

Naturally, this thread is not used in this way.
Some time ago, the "shadow" of Wanshazong was contacted much more frequently around Tianni faction than in other places. It was obvious that Wanshazong was collecting information and monitoring the situation on that side.The other five major sects, including Qianyue Mountain Villa, must also have people from the Wansha Sect, but these people are standing still now, so the focus of attention is not on them for the time being.
"Since the news of the attack on the Wansha Sect has been spread in Jianghu, as the leader, shouldn't Lone Village Master also start to think about it and formulate a method to attack the Wansha Sect?" The porcelain cup collided with the stone table and made a crisp sound , Qi Ao supported his head with one hand and watched Ao Qi help him fill up the wine, "Discuss with the various sects so that they can make arrangements as soon as possible."
Ao Qi filled the wine, but picked up the cup one step faster than Qi Ao, held Qi Ao's eyes in the air, "This matter still needs to be taken care of by Mr. Dugu." In fact, Qi Ao has already planned these things Well, Ao Qi's words are not so much a reminder, but rather an initial code word that the two of them knew very well.
"That's easy to say." Qi Ao drank the wine with Ao Qi's hand, took a sip of half a glass of wine, and drank it violently, the coldness flowed down his throat into his stomach, and it seemed to burn in an instant fire.
Qi Ao couldn't help coughing twice, thinking that Ao Qi didn't know about the last incident, she took a peek at Ao Qi again, seeing that the other party didn't notice, she quickly changed the subject: "I'll send the first letter in two days. To the heads of all sects."
It takes one month to deal with the affairs of this sect. We must rush to meet at the foot of Langji Mountain in early autumn to discuss the matter of attacking Wanshazong. If there is any delay, the mountain will be blocked by heavy snow in winter. In order to continue, this is equivalent to giving Wan Shazong a lot of time to adjust and strengthen.This is the general content of Qi Ao's first letter to each sect.
Ao Qi nodded, drank the rest of the wine in Qi'ao's cup, stood up first and walked towards the yard, with one hand stretched back, just in time to hold Qi'ao's hand.
The largest restaurant in Jinxing City, where Qianyue Villa is located, has a new chef. He is a rough man from the northwest. It really tastes good, so it has been selling very well in the city recently.
Qi Ao had been coveting this noodle for a long time, and when he arrived at the restaurant today, he ordered a bowl of the restaurant's signature noodles with great interest. After waiting for a while, the waiter brought out a bowl as big as a washbasin, which completely baffled Qi Ao.
When the guests came, what they saw was Dugu Qi'ao's red eyes and red lips from the heat.
The guest looked down at himself covered in dust and dirt, then at Qi Ao who was so hot that he was almost out of shape who greeted him to eat noodles together, grinned and threw away the polite words he had prepared, Quickly joined the team eating noodles.
"It's not easy to eat such an authentic taste here." The guest was sweating profusely from a big bowl of spicy noodles, and his sleeves were rolled up to his elbows. At this moment, he was holding a thin bamboo stick in his mouth and crossed his legs Sitting carelessly on the chair, I feel very comfortable.
A large bowl of noodles was only filled to one-fifth, but after enjoying the delicious food, he was not as free and easy as the other party.After the noodles were eaten into the stomach, they turned into gunpowder, putting all the internal organs on the iron frame and burning them. As time went by, the fire became more and more intense, burning all the way from the stomach to the nasal cavity.
There were bursts of tingling pain in his throat, Qiao cleared his throat, his face remained calm, and he politely made a cup of tea for the other party and himself: "Mr. Bai is as long as he is satisfied."
"Very satisfied, I haven't tasted this taste for more than ten years." Mr. Bai raised his glass to Qi'ao like drinking, and drank the tea in one gulp, "The tea is also good tea. "
Qi Ao clapped his hands twice, several waiters opened the door and came in to remove the bowls and chopsticks for eating noodles, and replaced them with meals that nourished the stomach and intestines, and the waiter who left last served a bowl of soup for the two of them.
Qi Ao took two sips of soup and said, "Since that's the case, it's time for us to talk about business."
Bai Xiaosheng put his foot down, put his head on one arm, looked at Qi'ao and smiled inexplicably for a long time, then slowly said: "I didn't expect that Dugu Qi'ao, who holds the sun and the moon in his hand, would still need to come to my Bai Xiaosheng." Xiaosheng's place."
Qi Ao looked at each other generously, but his words were ambiguous: "Mr. Bai was joking."
The two replaced the wine with tea, toasted and drank the whole cup, it was considered that they had reached a consensus and no further talk.
Bai Xiaosheng and Qi Ao explained some things in detail: "Although the Wansha Sect spread fishing nets all over the rivers and lakes based on human beings, it is said that at the beginning of the establishment of the Wansha Sect, four temples were erected in the north with the main altar as the center. Sub-forum, but since the establishment of this sub-forum, there has been almost no action, and I have not seen them come out to perform any tasks, and they have always been unknown. So after so many years, no one knows the location and number of sub-forums, and even it Whether it ever existed or whether it has been abolished is a mystery."
"What Mr. Bai means is that the answer to all these is certain." Qi'ao stirred the soup in the bowl with a smile.
Bai Xiaosheng smiled, "I only tell people the exact things."
Qi Ao nodded understandingly, and made a gesture of invitation.
Bai Xiaosheng continued: "When I went back to the village that day, I heard a strange thing. It is said that a family with a daughter in the village recently wanted to send their daughter to the mountain to become a cottage wife. At first, it was the people from the cottage who came down the mountain. Later, a few families sent their daughters up for fear of causing trouble, and the cottage sent people to deliver a lot of food and clothing to those families, and gradually some girls who were brought up went down the mountain to visit relatives, wearing gold and silver. The family members rushed to send people up the mountain."
"Apart from those who 'went down the mountain to visit relatives' before, is there anyone going down the mountain later?" Qi Ao asked.
A strange smile appeared on Bai Xiaosheng's face, which seemed to be ridiculed, but also sad: "Not really."
He sighed and continued: "There are not a few girls who are unwilling to be tied up by their parents and sent up the mountain."
Qi Ao was a little unconvinced: "These things will people in the village tell you about a person who hasn't returned home for a long time?" As far as he knows, such "good things" are often the most precious secrets of a village, and they will only be circulated in the village. People like Bai Xiaosheng who left their hometown since childhood are not qualified to know.
Bai Xiaosheng raised two fingers and waved in front of Qi'ao: "Ten bags of rice are exchanged for one piece of news." Money is not that useful to them, and such supplies are what they really need.
Hearing this, Qi Ao couldn't help but laugh, and finally only sighed: "It's so stupid."
Bai Xiaosheng laughed: "That's why I like to cooperate with these stupid people. Being like you is too smart." He said what kind of words with whoever he was with, so Bai Xiaosheng didn't care about such truths in front of Qiao. taboo.
After the two of them drank the last cup of tea, it was time for the banquet to end. A clean business relationship should be the most respectful way for Bai Xiaosheng to socialize.
Qi Ao got up and stood at the door to bid farewell to Bai Xiaosheng. Although he was smiling and warmly telling Bai Xiaosheng to invite him to the village next time, his temples were already wet with sweat.Seeing that Bai Xiaosheng was half a step away from the door, Bai Xiaosheng suddenly stopped in his tracks.
He turned sideways slowly, and made a request with a sly smile: "It's almost over, don't you really want the other one to show up?"
Qi Ao let out an "oh" in surprise, and was not particularly surprised by Bai Xiaosheng's question: "Sure enough, you can't hide anything from Mr. Bai."
After finishing speaking, Qi Ao made a gesture to Bai Xiaosheng to wait, turned around and walked to the wall, and pressed a hidden button on the wall, and the wooden frame that was originally fixed on the wall for decoration became a movable one that could be pushed and pulled. With the wooden door, the two separate boxes became one.
A person with the same height and appearance as Qi Ao came over from the box over there, his expression, stature and clothes did not mean to be indistinguishable.
☆, itinerary
"Twin brothers?" Bai Xiaosheng screamed in a strange voice, almost frightening the resting birds on the eaves. He gasped for a few laughs and patted the table, "This is the first time I've heard of Qianyue Mountain Villa." Fourth Young Master also has a twin brother."
Bai Xiaosheng did not believe this statement.He, Bai Xiaosheng, should not be the first person to hear this, but for other people who can hear this reason, no matter what the reason is, Ao Qi and Qi Ao can convince them, this is not something he cares about .
But if he believed it, how could he be worthy of the reputation of "Bai Xiaosheng".
There has always been only one fourth son in Qianyue Villa. As for where the other one came from, he really doesn't know, but three or four years ago, this one called "Qi'ao" had never been seen in the rivers and lakes. Traces of existence, it seems that he just appeared out of thin air in an instant.
This is also one of the reasons why Bai Xiaosheng agreed to come to the banquet today - to have the opportunity to observe this Dugu Qi'ao who was "raised in a deep boudoir" up close.
Ao Qi refilled a bowl of Yuzhu sweet milk soup for Qi Ao before responding nonchalantly: "So what if they are twins? Now that I am the owner of Qianyue Mountain Villa, I said that there is such a younger brother, no matter who is an old man in the villa, Even if he is a newcomer, he must be recognized as the son of Dugu Mountain Villa."
Bai Xiaosheng rolled his eyes, and there was a flash of clarity in his eyes. He glanced in awe at Qi Ao who was concentrating on eating——Dugu Aoqi's ambition is not small, and what supports his ambition is his cruel means. and decisive spirit.People in the martial arts seldom say whose hands are clean, but people like Aoqi are definitely not so dirty. It is easy to work for such a person, but it is difficult to work with them. In the future, it is clear that Qi Ao will be bound by his side.
What kind of qualifications and skills will make Aoqi willing to keep someone by his side, and he has the courage to bear the possibility of being eliminated at any time.
Dugu Qi'ao, the son of Qianyue Villa who appeared out of thin air, seemed gentle, but he did not let him down because he had the same face as Dugu Aoqi.
After trying to understand the twists and turns, Bai Xiaosheng toasted Ao Qi and Qi Ao each with a glass of wine, and left the room that had already had a strange atmosphere.
Hey, did he really think he couldn't feel the driving aura emanating from Aoqi's body?
Bai Xiaosheng closed the door with his hands behind his back, and as soon as it landed with a "click", Ao Qi's face changed instantly, his originally expressionless face became clouded, this is a rare expression of his extreme anger .
Qi Ao put down the empty bowl in his hand, crossed his fingers and stacked them on the table, lowered his head, with a sincere and earnest expression of repentance.Seeing that the line of Aoqi's jaw was tense and was about to break, Qi Ao simply said, "I shouldn't have eaten these things without telling you." Back to himself eating this kind of food without telling Ao Qi...
Qi Ao looked up at Ao Qi's expression, and tried to get a little more reprieve for himself: "But I just do what I like so that I can get twice the result with half the effort, right?"
Ao Qi looked at Qi Ao a little annoyed, took two steps on the spot and still couldn't help scolding sharply: "You can touch these irritating foods? It's not too late for me to meet Bai Xiaosheng , let him arrive first and wait?" The fire in the words was more violent than the ten times the spicy oil and red pepper in the noodles.
"Because he is a guest, and we," Qi Ao lightly hooked a small piece of Ao Qi's sleeve, tilted his head with a little softness in his eyes, but the corners of his mouth were slightly pursed unnaturally, and the forehead also leaked. Even so, he still looked at Ao Qi peacefully and calmly, with a paler complexion and a more springy smile, "It's the master."
When necessary, he doesn't mind showing weakness and making his physical discomfort more obvious, so as to win over Aoqi's emotions.
"Then it's up to the guests to do what they want." Ao Qi really held back the obvious hostility, he looked around the surrounding environment, and finally almost gritted his teeth and summoned the people from Wucheng who were waiting outside.
Fortunately, this time it did not have a particularly serious impact on Qi'ao's body. After a few days of recuperation, nothing serious happened, and everything was back on track.
As the leader this time, Ao Qi needs to arrive at their agreed place a few days earlier than other sects, so as to make arrangements in advance, or adjust their plans according to the local conditions.
The boxes had already been piled up in two carriages, and the busy servants behind them were still moving the luggage. Ao Qi and Zhuang Ning gave general instructions for the next period of time, and also asked him to adapt to the situation.
"In the future, the housekeeper will need to take care of the big and small matters in the village." As soon as Ao Qi finished speaking, Qi Ao just walked over, and added with a smile.
So far, the right to dispose of the affairs of the village is completely entrusted to Zhuang Ning for the time being. Apart from the right to dispose of the affairs of the village, what is given unreservedly is the trust of the owner and the son.
Zhuang Ning's heart is naturally like a bright mirror. While taking on this burden, he thinks that he should not slack off on the affairs of the village in the future, so as not to add unnecessary burdens to the owner and son who are away.
The carriage gradually moved away from the gate, and the figures of the servants led by Zhuang Ning standing at the gate to see him off were getting smaller little by little. Qiao put down the curtain and sat up straight in boredom, and the folding fan rolled out between his fingers. Hua, the trusting and heart-warming smile on her face also broke into tiny cracks, revealing a trace of sleepiness and laziness, obviously not enough sleep.
Ao Qi took out the food box that had just been handed over from the kitchen, seeing Qi Ao's drooping eyelids and the folding fan in his hand gradually slowing down, Ao Qi compared with Qi Ao's perfect Dugu son of Qianyue Villa just now After filling the small table with exquisite breakfast food and dishes, cups and chopsticks in the food box, he shook Qiao: "Eat these before going to bed."
The fragrant and tangy food aroused Qi'ao's interest a little bit, and he was half-coaxed and half-coaxed to feed it by Aoqi, Qi'ao finally ate a plate of Linglong Cui dumplings, a bowl of porridge, and drank half a glass of milk.Taking the prepared wet handkerchief, Qi Ao wiped his hands clean, looked at Ao Qi who was still eating, and Qi Ao yawned lightly.
Ao Qi soon finished his meal, and just put the wet handkerchief that had cleaned his hands on the table, when the door opened and closed, he was immediately moved out of the carriage together with the rest of the refreshments, tableware and table, and replaced with a clean cloth. The sweet nectar fruit wine was placed on the small cabinet beside Aoqi according to Aoqi's eyes.
He stretched out his hand and pulled Qi Ao, who was half asleep and half awake, and almost bumped his head due to the bumps, into his arms. Seeing Qi Ao dazedly groping for a familiar place to put his pillow on, he finally slept soundly. The wooden boards on the carriage were used as a temporary table case. After confirming that there was enough space for Qi Ao, Ao Qi quickly threw himself into the tedious and heavy plan review—he still needed to modify it many times to ensure a perfect one. The result of the attack was so perfect that it became his absolutely solid cornerstone.
The departure of time has turned into a change in the place where the shadow of the pen tip falls. In hot weather, most people don't like to be close to heat sources, but maybe they are used to it. Coupled with physical reasons, the closeness to Ao Qi will not make Qi Ao because of the change of seasons. feel any discomfort.
Waking up, Qi Ao's front was pressed against Ao Qi's lower abdomen. He stretched out his hand and poked the hard muscle in front of him, obviously feeling a heat that became obvious.
Ao Qi's left hand, which was caressing Qi'ao's shoulder, exerted force secretly, making Qi'ao end this nap with the joyful mood of a successful prank.
Seeing Qi Ao getting up, Ao Qi transferred the secret letter she had put aside to Qi Ao, and then went to complete other affairs.
Gowu now has enough power and courage to decide most of the business matters, but what Qiao needs is to integrate the time he used to deal with various trivial matters to read the letters from Gowu, which saves the time Qiao a lot of time and energy.
There is only one type of matter that Ge Wu will definitely not deal with without authorization and needs to be reported to Qi Ao, and that is some contacts with Mu Xiuqi.
Perhaps to show his sincerity, apart from providing many lucrative projects, Mu Xiuqi has now turned most of his businesses into shops attached to Aoqi, in exchange for a closer and deeper cooperation between the two parties. Almost all the actions of the two parties can be clearly and clearly presented to the other party, which is inevitable.
The cooperation between the two parties did not relax the attention of the three of Aoqi to Mu Xiuqi, and any contact with Mu Xiuqi was personally handled by Aoqi and Qiao.
This time it wasn't a big deal.
Ao Qi's inn and tavern signed a contract with Mu Mansion, and Mu Mansion has a lot of land leases, and Ao Qi is responsible for purchasing the grain of Mu Mansion, which further guarantees the food needed by the inn and pub on weekdays for Ao Qi It can be used, and the Mu Mansion has also reduced the possibility of excessive food hoarding.
Recently, a new batch of Mu Fu's food has just been received, so Gewu naturally reported the specific quantity to Qi'ao.
Although Ao Qi and Qi Ao are both dealing with the matter at hand, their actions and emotions seem to be clearly felt by the other party. Qi Ao just put down his pen and poured himself a glass of wine, while Ao Qi also This stage of work is complete.
The slight sound of Qi'ao's swallowing made Aoqi unconsciously make movements with the same frequency.
The fruit wine in Qi'ao's hands is a new product researched by their inn and hotel. It is fragrant and sweet, almost has no alcohol taste, and has a refreshing taste.
While listening to Qi Ao recounting the contents of the letter to himself, Ao Qi simply finished a drink in Qi Ao's hand.
"How is the deployment of materials going?"
There are thousands of emotions in these words, like fireworks rising into the sky vigorously, with a deafening sound exploding fire meteors in the air, illuminating half of the night sky and leaving a silence, but it is even more lethal. People are turbulent physically and mentally.
Su Cha took a deep breath and clasped his fists together: "What Master Dugu said is absolutely true! A person like Master Dugu is a great hero with a heart for everyone. Compared with you, we are just cowardly and cowardly people. A villain Su Mou is really ashamed to know the heart of a gentleman." After speaking, Su Cha bowed deeply to Ao Qi.
Ao Qi supported Su Cha with a heavy but firm tone: "Brother Su, I'm not a big hero. I also want to guard Qianyue Villa and live my next life in peace. It is precisely because of this that I am more Clearly see the sword overhead."
There was no one around, and even Su Cha's thoughtful footsteps had faded away, as if it had also taken away the surging heat on Aoqi's face.Ao Qi moved a little step to the side, and then approached the shadow cast by the green bamboo, but only for a moment, when he spoke again, there was no trace of fullness and richness: "Come out." His expression was so cold that the silver light on the ground It also froze into hoarfrost.
"Young master has arrived in Lincheng today, but just after the sun set, he found an inn in the city and said he wanted to rest," Yin Ming reported his work dutifully, and added after thinking, "We can arrive at the villa tomorrow. "
"Tomorrow?" Ao Qi chewed this time between his lips and teeth, tasting it with his tongue.
☆, night travel
The doors and windows were tightly locked, there were no candles in the house, and the whole room was completely invisible.This inn does not look like the most luxurious and luxurious inn, and the layout of the room is similar to that of an ordinary inn. At first glance, it looks the same, but when you actually live in a room, you will find that the seemingly simple and small room , but the tables and chairs in the room were covered with valuable brocade satin, and soft and long-lasting incense was lit all night to soothe the hearts of the guests.
Even though at night, the tables and chairs were put back as they were before, and there were no wrapped and unwashed clothes as far as the eyes could reach. It proves that there are indeed guests living in this room.
The hanging dark bed curtains crossed and overlapped to completely block the view inside the bed.
The air flows in the direction of the bed without stopping, and then stops at the head of the bed.
In the middle of the night, even the sound of breathing could be heard clearly, a hand came out of the darkness in vain, and opened one side of the bed curtain.
The person in the bed who was supposed to be sound asleep was sitting cross-legged on the bed with a thin blanket in his arms. The collar he had rubbed off while sleeping revealed half of his shoulders and the faint marks on his shoulders.He was tilting his head and looked at the owner of that hand with a vagueness that others could hardly detect: "Good evening, Aoqi." In such a dark night, the light flowing in that person's eyes reminded him of the lively pool tonight. The lake under the moon.
"Good evening." Almost the same voice sounded again in the room, as if echoing, "Qi'ao."
Qi Ao fell back on the bed again, half-opened his eyes to see Ao Qi who really appeared out of nowhere took off his coat and lay down next to him, and laughed: "Why do you always come by night?"
Ao Qi didn't reply, and stretched out his arms to wrap around Qi Ao's waist.Surrounded by the familiar air, Qiao completely closed his eyes.
The journey to Jiangshipo was full of wind and dust, and when they came back, the group slowed down deliberately in order to meet Qi Ao's intentions, and they were approaching Qianyue Mountain Villa day by day, so they could hear the birdsong outside the window in the morning. A little more intimacy.
"My lord, the face wash is ready." Although Qi Ao likes to sleep, his work and rest are still normal. In the past, Qi Ao has already woken up by this time, and Jing Nu brings the water into the room and then she can continue to serve Qi Ao to wash and change clothes. .
It was the same today. Jing Nu knocked on the door and found that the door had been unbolted. She opened the door and entered the room. When she raised her eyes, she saw someone sitting by the bed. Can't see anything.
Jing Nu was stunned for a while, then put down the water: "Master."
As soon as the words fell, the bed curtain was lifted a little bit, revealing another face, still staring in bewilderment, it looked like he hadn't woken up yet, he shook his body twice with a "hmm", With his forehead resting on the shoulder of the person in front of him, he seemed to have fallen asleep again.
Under the approval of Ao Qi's gaze, Jing Nu closed the door and left the room with a stiff expression.
When Ao Qi helped Qi Ao tie her hair, the sun was almost in the sky. Qi Ao touched his stomach, and when he was half asleep, Ao Qi fed him a small bowl of porridge and two jujube cakes, and he still feels safe.
"Hungry?" Qi Ao could tell that Ao Qi said it on purpose.
Qi Ao shook his head: "I'm a bit tired of eating in the morning. Will you be fine if you're not in the villa for a day?"
"Always give them some time to communicate in private." Ao Qi helped Qi Ao tie up her hair, patted Qi Ao's shoulder with satisfaction, and brought Qi Ao a glass of water.
The clear water washed away the sticky feeling in the stomach, and also made Qi'ao's head run more smoothly, enough for him to know what happened in the villa. The corner of his mouth curled up behind the cup, and he calmly handed the cup back to Ao Qi , and then pointed in the direction of the bed.
Ao Qi found a letter and a Moyu finger wrench beside the bed.
Qi Ao sat at the table and explained: "This is a token from the head of Fengyun Dao to the owner of Dugu Village in Qianyue Mountain Villa. The head of Fengyun Dao personally promised in front of his disciples that with these two tokens, if there is any need for their help at that time , all you need is a word from the owner of the Dugu village, and they will definitely do their best to help the owner."
Ao Qi put these two things on the table: "Only these two things?"
Qi Ao curled her lips helplessly: "Although Feng Yunfei's physical condition has gradually stabilized, she has not yet fully recovered. She needs to rest for three months to ensure that the wound is completely healed. Before that, do not make any movements to avoid secondary injuries. That is to say, for the past three months, she can only eat, drink, and sleep in bed." At the end, Qi Ao couldn't help showing a trace of pity, "For a girl, this kind of poison is too vicious. "
"If it wasn't for such a disease, it wouldn't be worth a life-saving soul egg, and if it wasn't for a life-saving soul egg, it wouldn't be able to exchange for these two tokens." Ao Qi held the wrench in his hand and tossed it back and forth, saying How hard-earned this thing is, the action did not show how precious it is.
Qi Ao was noncommittal, and it wasn't something that required too much entanglement, so he thought about it and changed the subject: "What happened to the mine?"
"Just two nights after I went there, I caught someone in the mine. It was a local young man. Gou asked clearly that night that he was a member of the patriarch's family. He wanted them to play tricks and ask for three or five times more money. The result When they confronted them in public, the patriarch meant to abandon them and throw them to Gowu to do with him. The young man had a bad temper and made a fuss with the patriarch on the spot. If Gowu hadn't watched the timing, they would have almost revealed the matter .” It was exactly the same as what he had guessed at the beginning.
"Gewu is getting better and better at handling these things." Qi Ao smiled and watched Jing Nu silently opened the door and brought the lunch to the table, still praising Ao Qi.
The plates were all over the table in a blink of an eye, Ao Qi glanced at the right quantity of dishes, and told Jing Nu: "Go back to the villa when the sun is past and the most poisonous." He said and filled the soup Put it in front of Qi Ao.
The meat of the white shrimp is made into flexible slices, and the five petals are stacked into the shape of a flower. The reddish petals are closed, like flower buds that have not yet bloomed. They are steamed until they are crystal clear and placed on the dark brown soup. Gently touch the top of the petals with chopsticks, you can hear a slight "pop", just like a real flower blooming, and the milky white juice in the "bud" will also spray out, melt into the brown soup and roll, gradually you can see The soup becomes as clear as water.
There was only one transparent water flower left, floating freely on the clear soup that had completely lost its color.
☆, cast a net
The noisy voice in the hall during the day seemed to still be echoing in my ears, even though these people had already left Qianyue Mountain Villa in the afternoon, and returned to their sects to arrange affairs for each faction, and now there was no guest in the villa.
Qi Ao stopped his hand playing the piano and rubbed his wrist.
Two disciples of Qingqu, the elder of the Tianni Sect, were found hanging upright over the well in the courtyard. Their severed arms were tied to their bodies with red strings. There were obvious signs of fighting on their bodies. It is speculated that they were cruelly cut off by the other party because they refused to let go when protecting Lingyuelian. The arms were sawed off from the body.
Such a cruel method is just to snatch a Lingyuelian, which is not particularly rare, and the reason why Lingyuelian was snatched is very obvious after a little thought-to accelerate the improvement of Lingyuelian's water yin image The skill of Taiji Jialan Sword.
Just as the burning iron mother stone is to the Shuanglong Chiyu Sword, and the blue iron mother stone is to the Fengniao Lianhua Sword, the Ssangyong Chiyu Sword and the Fengniao Lianhua Sword are the "two mother stones" of the Taiji Jialan Sword. In Aoqi's hand, the whereabouts of one is unknown. It is impossible for the Sect Master of the Wansha Sect to watch the Shuanglong Chiyujian being strengthened and remain indifferent, but if he wants to improve the Taiji Jialan Sword, he can only use other yin and yang things in the world.
This time it was Lingyuelian from the Tianni Sect, and the next time it was Beast Yangsha from Mad Saber Sha, one of the five great sects, or Canghuoshi from Liexinju, one of the three halls, no one knew.
Originally there were Su Cha who supported Ao Qi and Bai Yushang who had a ambiguous attitude, plus the Tianni faction whose position had changed instantly after this incident, and the head of Fengyun Dao lobbying in the three northern halls, the martial arts righteous way joined forces to attack Wan Sha Zong has become a certainty.
Unreasonable and expected, when selecting the leader, Ao Qi was unanimously pushed to this position in front of many seniors from the five sects.
When he was in leadership, he was restricted by the five sects because of his status in the world. If he really suffered retaliation, Dugu Aoqi's Qianyue Villa would be the first to bear the brunt, not one of the five sects. This is a very cost-effective business. .
At that time, Dugu Aoqi, the owner of Qianyue Mountain Villa, who was jumping with joy and surprise and looking eager to try, almost broke his waist when thanking him, should not have noticed this, but how could Aoqi and Qiao not have expected it in advance.
Qi Ao was out of his mind for a while, and when he came to his senses again, Ao Qi had already sat on the stone chair beside him, Qi Ao asked someone to remove the piano, and replaced it with freshly brewed Cui Yu wine, and gave himself a glass of Ao Qi .For a long time, the two of them didn't have the opportunity to sit and drink quietly like this. Ao Qi was going to be his heroic Jianghu hero, and Qi Ao only went out for a trip, and Shi Po usually stayed in Zhuangzi. Walking around, it seems that the two of them haven't been alone for a long time, but today's scene seems extraordinarily peaceful and strange.
Ao Qi drank very fast, he had already drank three glasses in a row, Qi Ao was still slowly sipping the glass in his hand, the drink was cool and refreshing, like raindrops falling on the lake outside the pavilion, breaking it into pieces. A pool of candle sparks sparkled, setting off a crystal clear snow on the tip of the tongue.
"Do you have any sure news from the Wansha Sect?" Qi Ao pinched the wine glass with his fingers, and the aroma of the wine swayed and diffused with his movements.
Wanshazong is located on the top of Langji Mountain, which is extremely easy to defend and difficult to attack. The mountain road has thousands of tricky traps set up by the world's number one machine. The roads are complicated and confusing, and if you are not careful, you will enter a dead end and you will never return. Therefore, the Wansha Sect, which occupies such a dangerous terrain, can stand safely.
Coupled with the Wansha Sect's extensive news network in Jianghu, I am afraid that once they have any plans, the Wansha Sect Master will get the news faster than other sects.
As early as two months ago, they began to search for the news network arranged by Wan Shazong in the martial arts, but the other party was obviously more detailed than they thought.Unlike them and Huayou, who set up point by point in inns and restaurants, Wan Shazong's information is for each individual, just like grabbing a handful of sand and throwing it into the desert, there is almost no possibility of distinguishing it.
Not to mention that Gowu vowed to break away from Wanshazong, and no longer mentioned any relevant news. All the information about Wanshazong was controlled by Wanshazong, and Gowu was just an order recipient at the beginning.
That's why Aoqi and the others made no progress on this matter.
"Didn't you say that, since you can't find it, you can create one. So many fish fry are scattered, and there will always be one or two surviving in every area." Ao Qi glanced at Qi Ao, and filled it for himself again. A glass of wine, "Today is the harvest season."
There are two kinds of people accepted by the Wansha Sect, one is heinous and vicious, who is used to seeing blood, and the other is pure and easy to be deceived and controlled. That kind of ignorant young man is much easier to play, and there is an elderly mother or an ignorant little sister at home, and he is the perfect candidate for Wan Shazong.
Although it is said that such a small fry is at most spotted and then secretly investigated for identity, accepted for observation, and assigned to make him unaware that it is a task. Through the task, he can identify which things respond quickly and meet the requirements, and then concentrate Training, but as long as there is such a thread, it is enough for them to follow the vine.
This should be a long-term matter, but they don't have so much time to infiltrate each other's network, so they can only change a method, as long as they are careful everywhere, there will be no major problems.
The net sank below the surface of the water, and was tied with an indistinct rope, so thin that it was almost invisible, so that only a small piece of net could be pulled out of the water, and water dripped down, disturbing countless ripples.
Naturally, this thread is not used in this way.
Some time ago, the "shadow" of Wanshazong was contacted much more frequently around Tianni Sect than in other places. It is obvious that Wanshazong is collecting information and supervising the situation. The other five sects, including Qianyue Villa, must also There are also people from the Wansha Sect, but they just stand still, and the focus is not on them for the time being.

Naturally, this thread is not used in this way.
Some time ago, the "shadow" of Wanshazong was contacted much more frequently around Tianni faction than in other places. It was obvious that Wanshazong was collecting information and monitoring the situation on that side.The other five major sects, including Qianyue Mountain Villa, must also have people from the Wansha Sect, but these people are standing still now, so the focus of attention is not on them for the time being.
"Since the news of the attack on the Wansha Sect has been spread in Jianghu, as the leader, shouldn't Lone Village Master also start to think about it and formulate a method to attack the Wansha Sect?" The porcelain cup collided with the stone table and made a crisp sound , Qi Ao supported his head with one hand and watched Ao Qi help him fill up the wine, "Discuss with the various sects so that they can make arrangements as soon as possible."
Ao Qi filled the wine, but picked up the cup one step faster than Qi Ao, held Qi Ao's eyes in the air, "This matter still needs to be taken care of by Mr. Dugu." In fact, Qi Ao has already planned these things Well, Ao Qi's words are not so much a reminder, but rather an initial code word that the two of them knew very well.
"That's easy to say." Qi Ao drank the wine with Ao Qi's hand, took a sip of half a glass of wine, and drank it violently, the coldness flowed down his throat into his stomach, and it seemed to burn in an instant fire.
Qi Ao couldn't help coughing twice, thinking that Ao Qi didn't know about the last incident, she took a peek at Ao Qi again, seeing that the other party didn't notice, she quickly changed the subject: "I'll send the first letter in two days. To the heads of all sects."
It takes one month to deal with the affairs of this sect. We must rush to meet at the foot of Langji Mountain in early autumn to discuss the matter of attacking Wanshazong. If there is any delay, the mountain will be blocked by heavy snow in winter. In order to continue, this is equivalent to giving Wan Shazong a lot of time to adjust and strengthen.This is the general content of Qi Ao's first letter to each sect.
Ao Qi nodded, drank the rest of the wine in Qi'ao's cup, stood up first and walked towards the yard, with one hand stretched back, just in time to hold Qi'ao's hand.
The largest restaurant in Jinxing City, where Qianyue Villa is located, has a new chef. He is a rough man from the northwest. It really tastes good, so it has been selling very well in the city recently.
Qi Ao had been coveting this noodle for a long time, and when he arrived at the restaurant today, he ordered a bowl of the restaurant's signature noodles with great interest. After waiting for a while, the waiter brought out a bowl as big as a washbasin, which completely baffled Qi Ao.
When the guests came, what they saw was Dugu Qi'ao's red eyes and red lips from the heat.
The guest looked down at himself covered in dust and dirt, then at Qi Ao who was so hot that he was almost out of shape who greeted him to eat noodles together, grinned and threw away the polite words he had prepared, Quickly joined the team eating noodles.
"It's not easy to eat such an authentic taste here." The guest was sweating profusely from a big bowl of spicy noodles, and his sleeves were rolled up to his elbows. At this moment, he was holding a thin bamboo stick in his mouth and crossed his legs Sitting carelessly on the chair, I feel very comfortable.
A large bowl of noodles was only filled to one-fifth, but after enjoying the delicious food, he was not as free and easy as the other party.After the noodles were eaten into the stomach, they turned into gunpowder, putting all the internal organs on the iron frame and burning them. As time went by, the fire became more and more intense, burning all the way from the stomach to the nasal cavity.
There were bursts of tingling pain in his throat, Qiao cleared his throat, his face remained calm, and he politely made a cup of tea for the other party and himself: "Mr. Bai is as long as he is satisfied."
"Very satisfied, I haven't tasted this taste for more than ten years." Mr. Bai raised his glass to Qi'ao like drinking, and drank the tea in one gulp, "The tea is also good tea. "
Qi Ao clapped his hands twice, several waiters opened the door and came in to remove the bowls and chopsticks for eating noodles, and replaced them with meals that nourished the stomach and intestines, and the waiter who left last served a bowl of soup for the two of them.
Qi Ao took two sips of soup and said, "Since that's the case, it's time for us to talk about business."
Bai Xiaosheng put his foot down, put his head on one arm, looked at Qi'ao and smiled inexplicably for a long time, then slowly said: "I didn't expect that Dugu Qi'ao, who holds the sun and the moon in his hand, would still need to come to my Bai Xiaosheng." Xiaosheng's place."
Qi Ao looked at each other generously, but his words were ambiguous: "Mr. Bai was joking."
The two replaced the wine with tea, toasted and drank the whole cup, it was considered that they had reached a consensus and no further talk.
Bai Xiaosheng and Qi Ao explained some things in detail: "Although the Wansha Sect spread fishing nets all over the rivers and lakes based on human beings, it is said that at the beginning of the establishment of the Wansha Sect, four temples were erected in the north with the main altar as the center. Sub-forum, but since the establishment of this sub-forum, there has been almost no action, and I have not seen them come out to perform any tasks, and they have always been unknown. So after so many years, no one knows the location and number of sub-forums, and even it Whether it ever existed or whether it has been abolished is a mystery."
"What Mr. Bai means is that the answer to all these is certain." Qi'ao stirred the soup in the bowl with a smile.
Bai Xiaosheng smiled, "I only tell people the exact things."
Qi Ao nodded understandingly, and made a gesture of invitation.
Bai Xiaosheng continued: "When I went back to the village that day, I heard a strange thing. It is said that a family with a daughter in the village recently wanted to send their daughter to the mountain to become a cottage wife. At first, it was the people from the cottage who came down the mountain. Later, a few families sent their daughters up for fear of causing trouble, and the cottage sent people to deliver a lot of food and clothing to those families, and gradually some girls who were brought up went down the mountain to visit relatives, wearing gold and silver. The family members rushed to send people up the mountain."
"Apart from those who 'went down the mountain to visit relatives' before, is there anyone going down the mountain later?" Qi Ao asked.
A strange smile appeared on Bai Xiaosheng's face, which seemed to be ridiculed, but also sad: "Not really."
He sighed and continued: "There are not a few girls who are unwilling to be tied up by their parents and sent up the mountain."
Qi Ao was a little unconvinced: "These things will people in the village tell you about a person who hasn't returned home for a long time?" As far as he knows, such "good things" are often the most precious secrets of a village, and they will only be circulated in the village. People like Bai Xiaosheng who left their hometown since childhood are not qualified to know.
Bai Xiaosheng raised two fingers and waved in front of Qi'ao: "Ten bags of rice are exchanged for one piece of news." Money is not that useful to them, and such supplies are what they really need.
Hearing this, Qi Ao couldn't help but laugh, and finally only sighed: "It's so stupid."
Bai Xiaosheng laughed: "That's why I like to cooperate with these stupid people. Being like you is too smart." He said what kind of words with whoever he was with, so Bai Xiaosheng didn't care about such truths in front of Qiao. taboo.
After the two of them drank the last cup of tea, it was time for the banquet to end. A clean business relationship should be the most respectful way for Bai Xiaosheng to socialize.
Qi Ao got up and stood at the door to bid farewell to Bai Xiaosheng. Although he was smiling and warmly telling Bai Xiaosheng to invite him to the village next time, his temples were already wet with sweat.Seeing that Bai Xiaosheng was half a step away from the door, Bai Xiaosheng suddenly stopped in his tracks.
He turned sideways slowly, and made a request with a sly smile: "It's almost over, don't you really want the other one to show up?"
Qi Ao let out an "oh" in surprise, and was not particularly surprised by Bai Xiaosheng's question: "Sure enough, you can't hide anything from Mr. Bai."
After finishing speaking, Qi Ao made a gesture to Bai Xiaosheng to wait, turned around and walked to the wall, and pressed a hidden button on the wall, and the wooden frame that was originally fixed on the wall for decoration became a movable one that could be pushed and pulled. With the wooden door, the two separate boxes became one.
A person with the same height and appearance as Qi Ao came over from the box over there, his expression, stature and clothes did not mean to be indistinguishable.
☆, itinerary
"Twin brothers?" Bai Xiaosheng screamed in a strange voice, almost frightening the resting birds on the eaves. He gasped for a few laughs and patted the table, "This is the first time I've heard of Qianyue Mountain Villa." Fourth Young Master also has a twin brother."
Bai Xiaosheng did not believe this statement.He, Bai Xiaosheng, should not be the first person to hear this, but for other people who can hear this reason, no matter what the reason is, Ao Qi and Qi Ao can convince them, this is not something he cares about .
But if he believed it, how could he be worthy of the reputation of "Bai Xiaosheng".
There has always been only one fourth son in Qianyue Villa. As for where the other one came from, he really doesn't know, but three or four years ago, this one called "Qi'ao" had never been seen in the rivers and lakes. Traces of existence, it seems that he just appeared out of thin air in an instant.
This is also one of the reasons why Bai Xiaosheng agreed to come to the banquet today - to have the opportunity to observe this Dugu Qi'ao who was "raised in a deep boudoir" up close.
Ao Qi refilled a bowl of Yuzhu sweet milk soup for Qi Ao before responding nonchalantly: "So what if they are twins? Now that I am the owner of Qianyue Mountain Villa, I said that there is such a younger brother, no matter who is an old man in the villa, Even if he is a newcomer, he must be recognized as the son of Dugu Mountain Villa."
Bai Xiaosheng rolled his eyes, and there was a flash of clarity in his eyes. He glanced in awe at Qi Ao who was concentrating on eating——Dugu Aoqi's ambition is not small, and what supports his ambition is his cruel means. and decisive spirit.People in the martial arts seldom say whose hands are clean, but people like Aoqi are definitely not so dirty. It is easy to work for such a person, but it is difficult to work with them. In the future, it is clear that Qi Ao will be bound by his side.
What kind of qualifications and skills will make Aoqi willing to keep someone by his side, and he has the courage to bear the possibility of being eliminated at any time.
Dugu Qi'ao, the son of Qianyue Villa who appeared out of thin air, seemed gentle, but he did not let him down because he had the same face as Dugu Aoqi.
After trying to understand the twists and turns, Bai Xiaosheng toasted Ao Qi and Qi Ao each with a glass of wine, and left the room that had already had a strange atmosphere.
Hey, did he really think he couldn't feel the driving aura emanating from Aoqi's body?
Bai Xiaosheng closed the door with his hands behind his back, and as soon as it landed with a "click", Ao Qi's face changed instantly, his originally expressionless face became clouded, this is a rare expression of his extreme anger .
Qi Ao put down the empty bowl in his hand, crossed his fingers and stacked them on the table, lowered his head, with a sincere and earnest expression of repentance.Seeing that the line of Aoqi's jaw was tense and was about to break, Qi Ao simply said, "I shouldn't have eaten these things without telling you." Back to himself eating this kind of food without telling Ao Qi...
Qi Ao looked up at Ao Qi's expression, and tried to get a little more reprieve for himself: "But I just do what I like so that I can get twice the result with half the effort, right?"
Ao Qi looked at Qi Ao a little annoyed, took two steps on the spot and still couldn't help scolding sharply: "You can touch these irritating foods? It's not too late for me to meet Bai Xiaosheng , let him arrive first and wait?" The fire in the words was more violent than the ten times the spicy oil and red pepper in the noodles.
"Because he is a guest, and we," Qi Ao lightly hooked a small piece of Ao Qi's sleeve, tilted his head with a little softness in his eyes, but the corners of his mouth were slightly pursed unnaturally, and the forehead also leaked. Even so, he still looked at Ao Qi peacefully and calmly, with a paler complexion and a more springy smile, "It's the master."
When necessary, he doesn't mind showing weakness and making his physical discomfort more obvious, so as to win over Aoqi's emotions.
"Then it's up to the guests to do what they want." Ao Qi really held back the obvious hostility, he looked around the surrounding environment, and finally almost gritted his teeth and summoned the people from Wucheng who were waiting outside.
Fortunately, this time it did not have a particularly serious impact on Qi'ao's body. After a few days of recuperation, nothing serious happened, and everything was back on track.
As the leader this time, Ao Qi needs to arrive at their agreed place a few days earlier than other sects, so as to make arrangements in advance, or adjust their plans according to the local conditions.
The boxes had already been piled up in two carriages, and the busy servants behind them were still moving the luggage. Ao Qi and Zhuang Ning gave general instructions for the next period of time, and also asked him to adapt to the situation.
"In the future, the housekeeper will need to take care of the big and small matters in the village." As soon as Ao Qi finished speaking, Qi Ao just walked over, and added with a smile.
So far, the right to dispose of the affairs of the village is completely entrusted to Zhuang Ning for the time being. Apart from the right to dispose of the affairs of the village, what is given unreservedly is the trust of the owner and the son.
Zhuang Ning's heart is naturally like a bright mirror. While taking on this burden, he thinks that he should not slack off on the affairs of the village in the future, so as not to add unnecessary burdens to the owner and son who are away.
The carriage gradually moved away from the gate, and the figures of the servants led by Zhuang Ning standing at the gate to see him off were getting smaller little by little. Qiao put down the curtain and sat up straight in boredom, and the folding fan rolled out between his fingers. Hua, the trusting and heart-warming smile on her face also broke into tiny cracks, revealing a trace of sleepiness and laziness, obviously not enough sleep.
Ao Qi took out the food box that had just been handed over from the kitchen, seeing Qi Ao's drooping eyelids and the folding fan in his hand gradually slowing down, Ao Qi compared with Qi Ao's perfect Dugu son of Qianyue Villa just now After filling the small table with exquisite breakfast food and dishes, cups and chopsticks in the food box, he shook Qiao: "Eat these before going to bed."
The fragrant and tangy food aroused Qi'ao's interest a little bit, and he was half-coaxed and half-coaxed to feed it by Aoqi, Qi'ao finally ate a plate of Linglong Cui dumplings, a bowl of porridge, and drank half a glass of milk.Taking the prepared wet handkerchief, Qi Ao wiped his hands clean, looked at Ao Qi who was still eating, and Qi Ao yawned lightly.
Ao Qi soon finished his meal, and just put the wet handkerchief that had cleaned his hands on the table, when the door opened and closed, he was immediately moved out of the carriage together with the rest of the refreshments, tableware and table, and replaced with a clean cloth. The sweet nectar fruit wine was placed on the small cabinet beside Aoqi according to Aoqi's eyes.
He stretched out his hand and pulled Qi Ao, who was half asleep and half awake, and almost bumped his head due to the bumps, into his arms. Seeing Qi Ao dazedly groping for a familiar place to put his pillow on, he finally slept soundly. The wooden boards on the carriage were used as a temporary table case. After confirming that there was enough space for Qi Ao, Ao Qi quickly threw himself into the tedious and heavy plan review—he still needed to modify it many times to ensure a perfect one. The result of the attack was so perfect that it became his absolutely solid cornerstone.
The departure of time has turned into a change in the place where the shadow of the pen tip falls. In hot weather, most people don't like to be close to heat sources, but maybe they are used to it. Coupled with physical reasons, the closeness to Ao Qi will not make Qi Ao because of the change of seasons. feel any discomfort.
Waking up, Qi Ao's front was pressed against Ao Qi's lower abdomen. He stretched out his hand and poked the hard muscle in front of him, obviously feeling a heat that became obvious.
Ao Qi's left hand, which was caressing Qi'ao's shoulder, exerted force secretly, making Qi'ao end this nap with the joyful mood of a successful prank.
Seeing Qi Ao getting up, Ao Qi transferred the secret letter she had put aside to Qi Ao, and then went to complete other affairs.
Gowu now has enough power and courage to decide most of the business matters, but what Qiao needs is to integrate the time he used to deal with various trivial matters to read the letters from Gowu, which saves the time Qiao a lot of time and energy.
There is only one type of matter that Ge Wu will definitely not deal with without authorization and needs to be reported to Qi Ao, and that is some contacts with Mu Xiuqi.
Perhaps to show his sincerity, apart from providing many lucrative projects, Mu Xiuqi has now turned most of his businesses into shops attached to Aoqi, in exchange for a closer and deeper cooperation between the two parties. Almost all the actions of the two parties can be clearly and clearly presented to the other party, which is inevitable.
The cooperation between the two parties did not relax the attention of the three of Aoqi to Mu Xiuqi, and any contact with Mu Xiuqi was personally handled by Aoqi and Qiao.
This time it wasn't a big deal.
Ao Qi's inn and tavern signed a contract with Mu Mansion, and Mu Mansion has a lot of land leases, and Ao Qi is responsible for purchasing the grain of Mu Mansion, which further guarantees the food needed by the inn and pub on weekdays for Ao Qi It can be used, and the Mu Mansion has also reduced the possibility of excessive food hoarding.
Recently, a new batch of Mu Fu's food has just been received, so Gewu naturally reported the specific quantity to Qi'ao.
Although Ao Qi and Qi Ao are both dealing with the matter at hand, their actions and emotions seem to be clearly felt by the other party. Qi Ao just put down his pen and poured himself a glass of wine, while Ao Qi also This stage of work is complete.
The slight sound of Qi'ao's swallowing made Aoqi unconsciously make movements with the same frequency.
The fruit wine in Qi'ao's hands is a new product researched by their inn and hotel. It is fragrant and sweet, almost has no alcohol taste, and has a refreshing taste.
While listening to Qi Ao recounting the contents of the letter to himself, Ao Qi simply finished a drink in Qi Ao's hand.
"How is the deployment of materials going?"
