I am aging gracefully in the world of famous books

The author has something to say: (Note [-]) The following is an overview of the content of the original work (it does not account for the text):

After Zhu Qiqi and Shen Lang escaped from Renyi Village, they were chased by several waves of people whom Zhu Qiqi had offended.In order to get rid of the trouble, Zhu Qiqi and his party ran to Qinyang City, just in time to meet people from all walks of life gathered to discuss the matter of the Devil's Nest. It is said that everyone who entered it died unexpectedly.

After Shen Lang, Zhu Qiqi and a group of people from all walks of life entered the magic cave, they found that there were many traps and hidden murderous intentions in the magic cave.

After some twists and turns, Shen Lang caught King Happy's treasurer Jin Wuwang.

It turned out that this devil's cave was originally a treasure. After hearing the news, Happy King sent Jin Wuwang to collect and transport the treasure.It's a pity that Jin Wuwang didn't find anything, so he came up with the method of detaining people in the Jianghu to extort money. In the end, Shen Lang ruined the plan, and turned enemies into friends with Shen Lang.

However, after turning enemies into friends, Jin Wuwang and Shen Lang discovered that all the martial arts figures who had been trapped before had disappeared, and no one knew whether they were alive or dead.

Renyi Village and the family members of the missing person wanted to seek revenge from Jin Wuwang, Shen Lang promised to give everyone an explanation within half a month and find out the whereabouts of the missing person.

While Shen Lang and Jin Wuwang were investigating everywhere, Zhu Qiqi bumped into those missing persons by mistake.They were smuggled away like sheep and corpses under the spell of ecstasy.

After Zhu Qiqi discovered the conspiracy, he followed without thinking, and finally tracked all the way to the residence of Wang Lianhua and Wang Yunmeng.

The real behind-the-scenes messengers of Qinyang Devil's Nest are Wang Yunmeng's mother and son. They have already taken away the treasure inside, and secretly plotted against Jin Wuwang and the martial arts people.

After Zhu Qiqi escaped from the palace, he participated in Ouyang Xi's business fair, and Bai Feifei made his debut.

Who is this pretty girl?

Wang Lianhua didn't ask the girl's name on the way here, because he probably guessed her real identity.She came in hiding under the car of the "Baiyun Shepherd Girl" who had returned from the Qinyang Devil's Nest. With such an appearance and such a temper, she must be Zhu Qiqi, the daughter of the Zhu family who was chasing Shen Lang around.

——If it was Zhu Qiqi, he would really have to send him out quietly.

"Mom, she is the girl Yan I mentioned to you, my friend's sister from the same country."

"So it's Young Master Yan's younger sister."

Mrs. Wang's eyes fluttered, and she thought to herself that there is a stunning girl surnamed Yan in Luoyang City, but her son didn't show much interest before, and he didn't have any friends surnamed Yan, so why did he get close today?

Thinking of Pei Xiang behind the screen and Pei Xiang's evaluation of Wang Lianhua, Mrs. Wang decided to help her son:

"Let me see, ah, it really is a stunning beauty in the world. You said before that you have never seen a girl more beautiful than Miss Pei, but now you have changed your mind?"

Wang Lianhua smiled and said: "In my heart, Xiangxiang is naturally the prettiest. Mom, what are you talking about, it's not like you haven't seen Xiangxiang himself."

"You bastard, you really don't forget to protect Miss Pei at all times," Mrs. Wang said with a smile, "don't annoy the guests by talking so fast. Miss Yan, I welcome you here as a guest. It's just Why did you go out alone? Didn’t Brother Ling come with you? Where are the maids next to you, but the little girls were mischievous and lost their own lady? Don’t panic, I will send someone to Yan’s house to inform you of your whereabouts, please They sent someone to come and see you so your family wouldn't worry. Someone..."

"Wait, I'm not a girl Yan at all!" Zhu Qiqi who was on the side suddenly spoke and interrupted Mrs. Wang's words loudly.

She sneaked into this mysterious and strange place alone, and she was already shocked, afraid, cold and tired.Standing in front of the Wang family's mother and son at this moment, Zhu Qiqi couldn't help feeling impatient when they heard the two casually talking about their inferior appearance and treating themselves as some kind of Yan girl.

If it is someone else, at this time there should always be some self-consciousness as a prisoner, hoping to get away with an honest performance.But Zhu Qiqi has always been used to being impulsive and impulsive, and he always does things as he pleases regardless of the consequences, so how could he swallow his anger?

Hearing that Mrs. Wang was going to find the Yan family, Zhu Qiqi thought that sooner or later she would have to reveal her secrets, so she might as well just smash the jar, and fortunately admitted her identity.

"My surname is Zhu, I'm Zhu Qiqi, and Zhu Qiqi is me! Listen, I didn't come to your house as a guest, but sneaked in on the frame of your 'Baiyun Shepherd Girl' to spy on you." Secret. Hmph, if you want to fight or kill, it's up to you!"

After Zhu Qiqi finished speaking harshly, he straightened his neck and stared at Mrs. Wang with a stubborn expression on his face.In fact, her mind was really in a mess. For a while, she thought that maybe she would never see Shen Lang again in this life, and for a while, she felt that this scoundrel surnamed Wang defended and helped her inexplicably, and maybe he had some evil intentions...

As soon as Zhu Qiqi exposed Wang Lianhua's lie, Wang Lianhua's face suddenly turned pale.He immediately knelt down towards Mrs. Wang without saying a word, and his attitude of admitting his mistake was very straightforward.

Mrs. Wang's expression turned cold, and she looked Zhu Qiqi up and down with a pair of beautiful eyes, as if she was angry because of the farce in front of her.

In fact, when she heard the word "Zhu Qiqi", she understood some of her son Wang Lianhua's plans, and knew that he was planning to use Zhu Qiqi to "provoke" some people, and further plot against Renyizhuang and plot against him. The wealth under Happy King makes Jin hopeless.

Therefore, in the following time, the mother and son of the Wang family began to sing together to scare Zhu Qiqi, who had "turned himself into a trap", until a certain effect was achieved, and then Wang Yunmeng pretended to have something to do and left the room in a hurry.But before leaving, she still did not forget to order her subordinates to send the uninvited guest to the basement and imprison them.

After the two big men in black took Zhu Qiqi away, the room was quiet again, and the cute and fearful look on Wang Lianhua's brows disappeared instantly, leaving only a cold indifference.

He stood quietly for a moment in front of the soft couch covered with tiger skin, his hands behind his back, contemplating the next coping strategy, when he suddenly heard some movement behind the screen.

Wang Lianhua raised her head vigilantly, and instantly floated to the side of the screen. At the same time, she raised her palm slightly, and there were already three poisonous needles as thin as a cow's hair sandwiched between her fingers.

"Xiangxiang?" Wang Lianhua looked at the slim lady sitting on the rosewood chair in surprise.

Pei Xiangying stood up, smiled and said:

"Prince Wang, Ling Ci left in a hurry, probably forgot about me, could you please trouble your prince to order someone to escort me out of the mansion? Just in case I bump into some hidden people or things because I am not familiar with the route."

"you……"

Rao Wang Lianhua's mind is exquisite and ever-changing, and she never expected that her mother would hide Pei Xiang behind the screen.As soon as he changed his mind, he guessed the reason for this action in all sorts of ways, and suddenly he was a little dumbfounded.

However, he really broke into a cold sweat.

To be honest, the moment he first met Zhu Qiqi, he really wanted to create an illusion of admiring beauty, to deceive that reckless and arrogant girl, so that she would not have any doubts about the subsequent developments.

But as soon as this idea emerged from the bottom of his heart, Wang Lianhua immediately vetoed it, probably because he remembered the scene of Pei Xiang recognizing his cousin in the Xuanyuan Palace in time.

The thousand-faced son who has insight into people's hearts knows very well that the girl he likes has no eyes for the love between men and women.

When she was anxious to save her life, she didn't want to flirt with the royal children surrounded by concubines, she was as proud as a little phoenix.Not to mention that now that she has the strength to protect herself, she won't be interested in men who are merciful everywhere.

At this time, Wang Lianhua was tempted for the first time, and she was trying to restrain herself according to the standards of her sweetheart.He always knows what he wants most, and he will never suddenly fall in love with someone and forget himself.

But no matter how transparent and calm a person is, how accustomed he is to leaving room for himself, once he is tempted, he is tempted.He must, of course, strive for the possibility of happiness before the opportunity is completely lost.

"Xiangxiang, do you have any other plans today?" Wang Lianhua didn't ask the bottom line, but just asked with a smile, "If you don't have other plans, come with me to Ouyang Xi's house. There is a business meeting there today." The business gathering of the giants, let's go and watch the excitement."

Pei Xiang was startled, and wondered: "Are you going to attend the wealthy businessman's party in Ouyang's mansion now? Aren't you going to visit Miss Zhu in the basement?"

"Why should I visit Zhu Qiqi?"

Naturally, Pei Xiang would not just stubbornly think that Wang Lianhua should go to the basement to tease Zhu Qiqi and "secretly" let go of Zhu Qiqi just because of the plot arrangement of the original work.But based on the conversations she had just heard, she had vaguely judged the intentions of Wang Yunmeng, mother and son, and knew that they didn't really want to lock Zhu Qiqi up.

It's just... Pei Xiang didn't want to ask any more when the words came to his lips.Because, she currently has no plans to further get involved in the revenge plan of Wang Yunmeng's mother and son.

Seeing this, Wang Lianhua sighed in disappointment, and simply asked:

"Xiangxiang thinks, why am I planning to let Zhu Qiqi go?"

Pei Xiang joked with a smile: "Young Master Luoyang has always cherished beauty, how can he be willing to let the beautiful woman worry and fear in the dungeon?"

"Wrong," Wang Lianhua frowned aggrievedly, "If I really feel sorry for Xiangxiang and Yuyu, I should let Zhu Qiqi stay safely in the dungeon, and then send a letter to Shen Lang, asking him to Come and take people away."

Pei Xiang was not surprised that Wang Lianhua knew that Zhu Qiqi loved Shen Lang.This person used his identity as a son of a rich family in Luoyang to make friends with many people from the Jianghu, how could he not know the people from Renyizhuang?Since he has connection with Renyizhuang, he must have heard about Zhu Qiqi's pursuit of Shen Lang.

Coupled with the layout of their mother and son in the Qinyang Devil's Nest, they not only counted Jin Wuwang, one of the four envoys under Happy King's command, but also many martial arts people. in the action. (Note [-])

"Since Prince Wang said I was wrong, I can't think of any other reasons."

Wang Lianhua rolled her eyes and said half-truthfully:

"Actually, I am willing to let the daughter of the Zhu family leave as soon as possible. I hope she can reunite with Shen Lang as soon as possible. Ever since I was separated from Xiangxiang for more than [-] days, I have known the pain of lovesickness. Therefore, I always I hope there are lovers in the world who will eventually get married."

——Well, as long as Zhu Qiqi and Shen Lang keep entangled, Xiangxiang will never take a second look at that young hero Shen.

As she spoke, Wang Lianhua lowered her eyes slightly and stared at Pei Xiang beside her.Looking at it, a faint blush slowly appeared on Ruyu's cheeks, adding a little bewildering color for no reason.The eyebrows are dignified, the pupils are deep, the lips are neither thin nor thick, slightly raised, very soft...

Pei Xiang took one look, then another, and then another, and finally turned his head to look at the road seriously.

In fact, at her level of martial arts cultivation, there is no need to use her eyes to look at the potholes in the road meticulously—ordinary people without internal strength actually don't need it.

But at this moment, she suddenly felt that it was a very bad habit to walk without looking at the road, at least, it was a bit disrespectful to this clean and smooth bluestone road.

——I used to think that Wang Lianhua did not inherit Wang Yunmeng's beauty well, and it was a bit arbitrary.

—Actually...not too bad.

——After all, in this gorgeous mansion, even the cobblestone road under your feet is so beautiful, let alone people?

Before leaving the gate of the mansion, Pei Xiang saw Wang Lianhua make a simple gesture towards a strong man in black. After the strong man clasped his fists to salute, he quickly turned and left.

"My subordinate has gone to deal with Zhu Qiqi's matter, and that girl will leave safely."

Pei Xiang responded lightly, and turned his attention to the business meeting that he was going to attend later.

She had met "Central Plains Mengchang" Ouyang Xi at Wang's house before, and knew that he was an important figure in Luoyang City, but he never acted domineeringly.Ouyang Xi is forthright, enthusiastic, polite and very popular. The business gatherings held at his house should be very interesting.

"Let's go and see what good deals are there today."

"Well, let's go."

On Ouyang Xi's mansion, in the reception hall.

More than 30 red sandalwood chairs were scattered randomly, and seventeen or eighteen people were already seated.Among them, some were drinking tea alone, some were talking in low voices, and some were looking at the decorations in the hall.

When Wang Lianhua and Pei Xiang walked in, several businessmen in the house stood up to say hello,

Of course, the only person they greeted was Wang Lianhua.For Pei Xiang beside him, everyone did not hide their curiosity and astonishment, but they did not ask easily.

At this time, Ouyang Xi, the host, walked in with a smile. He took Wang Lianhua's arm and patted it, and joked kindly:

"Usually when you come to my place, you either look for good wine to drink as soon as you enter the door. Or you come late by yourself. Why did you arrive so early this time and behave so elegantly? I know, it's because Miss Pei is by your side The reason?"

Wang Lianhua shook her head and sighed: "Ouyang, Ouyang, you are definitely wronging me. How could I be late because the Second Master Leng is here today? Also, don't you want to slander my reputation in front of Miss Pei, as if I am a Like an impolite brat."

Ouyang Xi smiled, turned his head and cupped his fists at Pei Xiang and said:

"Miss Pei, let's meet again, thank you for the health elixir you gave me earlier."

Pei Xiang returned the courtesy, carefully asked Ouyang Xi about the effect of taking the medicine, and then answered a few words humbly.

Ouyang Xi said again:

"At today's trade fair, there are a lot of high-quality medicinal materials for sale. If Miss Pei finds what she wants, just call the auction, and it will be recorded in my Ouyang Xi's account. It is a meeting gift for us to get acquainted, It’s a little thank you for my brother.”

A middle-aged businessman in a blue brocade robe said with a smile:

"Brother Ouyang, you are too generous today. We have known each other for more than ten years. When will you give me a gift?"

Ouyang Xi laughed and scolded:

"You have a golden abacus and money strings everywhere! Do the math, how many good wines and roast lamb legs have you taken from me over the years? Miss Pei is neither good for wine nor big like you have a bottomless pit." Stomach, that's why I want to give Miss Pei a gift, otherwise, wouldn't I treat one as a friend more favorably than another?"

Another person followed suit and said, "That's reasonable. It's just that I'm not good at drinking, and I've been eating vegetarian food recently. I wonder if brother Ouyang can make up for it?"

This remark provoked another burst of laughter.

The atmosphere in the hall was lively and harmonious, no one underestimated Pei Xiang because of her female status, and no one showed coveted eyes because of her beauty.

——Of course, even some bad thoughts are well hidden at the moment.

Which of these wealthy businessmen in the Jianghu is not a smooth-faced person?Which one is not a generation with extraordinary eyesight?

When they saw Pei Xiang wearing a long sword at his waist, walking lightly and vigorously, with clear and bright eyes with inner radiance, with a graceful figure but a straight back, with graceful gestures and calmness, they already felt that this woman was not simple.

After listening to Ouyang Xi thanking her for the medicine, she kept saying that she was a friend and friend and treated each other as equals, which made her more convinced of her previous judgment.

Furthermore, the person was brought in by Wang Lianhua. According to their understanding of the Luoyang Wang family, Miss Pei must have some background. No matter how bad it is, she must have extraordinary talents.

——These people respect money and talent.

After a while, there was a burst of greetings outside the door, obviously a new guest had arrived.

A servant ran to report to Ouyang Xi's ear, Ouyang Xi was stunned for a moment, then he was overjoyed again, and he shouted to the friends beside him:

"Today is a very good day. Not only the Second Master Leng came to our Luoyang, but also a friend who came from afar came to our humble house. Ladies and gentlemen, wait for me to invite the distinguished guests in."

"Brother Ouyang, don't be so secretive. Tell us, who is it? Since we are friends from afar, we will go out with you to meet Jiapeng."

Ouyang Xi walked quickly while laughing loudly, and answered with a loud voice:

"It's none other than Boss Ji Bingyan from Lanzhou."

"Oh, Ji Bingyan actually left Lanzhou to come to our Luoyang?"

"So it's Boss Ji, this is indeed a rare visitor, hey, brother Ouyang, wait..."

"Ji Bingyan? But that Lanzhou billionaire, is that, um, Boss Ji with the nickname 'Iron Rooster'?" The inquiring person lowered his voice.

"Who else could it be if it wasn't him? Boss Ji's business is booming now. When he was young...it is said that he traveled the rivers and lakes with that bandit handsome Chu Liuxiang. I think he is not bad at work."

"Brother Chen knows Boss Ji? My younger brother is young and has little experience. I only heard about Boss Ji's great reputation before, but I have never figured out what kind of business Boss Ji is in. Can Brother Chen give some pointers?"

"Boss Ji, he does all kinds of business. Hehe, wherever there is money to be made, he is there. Some people have estimated that for every ten taels of silver earned in the business field in Lanzhou City, one tael belongs to Boss Ji. "

"So it is, so it is..."

Amidst the ups and downs of discussion, Ouyang Xi and others surrounded Ji Bingyan and his party and returned to the hall.

While everyone was socializing and chatting, Pei Xiang stood outside the crowd and looked curiously at Ji Bingyan who came to visit suddenly.

Ji Bingyan always had a calm look on his face, even if he smiled politely at the people around him, the smile was shallow and short-lived.

But the interesting thing is that his reserved and distant attitude won't make anyone present feel slighted.Even though he was silent, no one would think that he was arrogant and arrogant, only that Ji Bingyan should treat others like this.

While Pei Xiang was observing Ji Bingyan, the man suddenly turned his head, his sharp eyes passed over the crowd, and fell directly on Pei Xiang.

His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, and he looked very shrewd and powerful.No one could find a look of laziness or dullness on his sharp-edged face. It was obvious that this was a calm and resolute man with deep grooves in his chest.

Pei Xiang nodded slightly to Ji Bingyan who was looking over, thinking that the two of them would not have much interaction.Unexpectedly, when Ji Bingyan saw Pei Xiang, she frowned suspiciously, then lowered her head and said something to Ouyang Xi.

Ouyang Xi was startled, turned to look at Pei Xiang, and then nodded.

After getting an affirmative answer from Ouyang Xi, Ji Bingyan walked directly towards Pei Xiang, and under the attention of everyone, she cupped her fists at Pei Xiang:

"Miss Pei, I'm going to Ji Bingyan. Ji came to Luoyang this time to find a girl. Can I have a chance to negotiate?"

"Hello, Boss Ji," Pei Xiang saluted, and then nodded and smiled, "I've heard about Boss Ji's name for a long time, and I'm very honored to meet you today. Since Boss Ji has something to ask the little girl, she must never refuse. Ouyang Brother, please arrange a suitable place."

Ouyang Xi quickly smiled and said: "Naturally, both of you, please come with me."

Pei Xiang and Ji Bingyan were personally led by Ouyang Xi to the octagonal gazebo in the garden.

This place is not too far from the main hall where the guests were received just now. It will not affect the two people talking alone, but you can also see the people coming and going in and out of the hall. It is open on all sides and there is no shelter. It is very suitable for a man and a woman who meet for the first time to talk for a long time.

"Boss Ji, what do you want me to do?"

Ji Bingyan took a serious look at Pei Xiang's facial features before saying in a deep voice:

"Miss Pei, Ji is a businessman, and everything he talks about is business. A few days ago, His Royal Highness Cheng Wang gave Ji a business with a good profit, and the condition was that Ji would help him investigate the Qu family's affairs in Lanzhou. "

Pei Xiang kept a smile on his face, pretending to be listening attentively.

Ji Bingyan said lightly:

"Ji has already learned from His Royal Highness Cheng that Miss Pei is not of Qu's blood. At the same time, His Highness Cheng told Ji that since Miss Pei can tell a story so vividly and twists and turns, there are still many details that can be compared. The possibility of that is very small.”

Pei Xiang's eyelashes trembled slightly, but he hesitated to speak.

Ji Bingyan continued to explain expressionlessly:

"Hence, His Royal Highness Cheng believes that even if Miss Pei is not a daughter of the Qu family, she probably knows some truths about that year. He suggested that Ji Mou come forward and ask Miss Pei personally, what exactly happened in your story that day? of?"

Pei Xiang: "..."

——Why is it necessary to crack down on counterfeiting so aggressively?
