The next day was cloudy, the sun could not penetrate the thick and low-density clouds, and the sky was filled with darkness.

Chi Si is so cash-strapped that he can only rent a place in the dirtiest western suburb of the capital.

His residence is only a small and dilapidated tile-roofed house, with poorly facing windows and narrow windows, so that no light can come in, and the interior is very dark.

There are several dilapidated earthen courtyards around the courtyard surrounded by earthen walls, all of which are uninhabited, and there is a dead silence in the air.

It was nearly noon, Chi Si came out of the room, and was about to go to the Fireworks Alley, to take some errand jobs to earn enough copper coins for today's living, when he heard knocking on the door of the dilapidated rotten wood courtyard.

There are no neighbors in Fangyuan, and those who can come to him, need not think about it, they know that they are those people from the rivers and lakes who are looking for some kind of Taoism.

It's just that today this group of people actually still pay attention to etiquette, they didn't follow and ambush like the previous batch of robbers, and shouted to be beaten and killed as soon as they showed up.

"Come in, this door can't stop you." Chi Si raised the corner of his mouth, he lived here for a month or two, and it was the first time he met a visitor from the front door, he thought it was a bit interesting.

There was a dull creaking sound from the old wooden door, as if with a little more strength, the two rickety rotten boards would fall down in response.

The one who entered the hospital was a thin and slender young man who was wearing a high-quality black military uniform with brocade and jade embroidery. This attire could tell at a glance that he had an extraordinary family background.

The corner of the young man's mouth was slightly raised with a three-point smile. He looked kind-hearted, gentle and modest, but exuded a fierce aura around him, with a natural majesty.

The golden and jade-like elegant eyebrows hide a sharp knife light, intertwined with seductive elegance and deadly danger.

Behind him were two other Jianghu people, all dressed in the same way, holding a tray covered with red cloth in both hands, standing on both sides with lowered eyebrows and downcast eyes.

The young man lowered his eyes towards Chi and cupped his hands: "During the next Qi season, I came here at the order of the Patriarch."

He raised his eyes to see Chi Si's face clearly, and was startled suddenly.

After a while, he said with a smile: "The rumors don't say that Chi Shaoxia looks like this..."

There was a trace of teasing in the clear smile: "...the beauty is so beautiful. I thought I found the wrong person."

Chi Si sneered tit for tat: "Each to each other. If I hadn't heard you talking, I wouldn't be sure whether it was a son or a girl who came."

He pointed to where Qi Ji was standing, and said provocatively, "You're in the way. I'm going out. If you have something to say, make a long story short. Don't talk nonsense."

The other party's tone was not kind, and he insinuated that he was like a girl. Qi Ji's seemingly gentle eyes sank for an instant, and a cold, sharp light flashed like a knife.

The sharp edge disappeared in a flash, and he quickly put on the gentle smile of a gentleman of Duanfang, and said slowly: "Chi Si, originally lived in An County, Guangjun County in the southwest, and ranked fourth in the family. The Chi family has been in business for generations, and they were originally wealthy in the local area. A big family on one side, but unfortunately there was an accident more than ten years ago, leaving you alone in the Chi family."

He intentionally slowed down his speech, and slowly introduced Chi Si's background: "Three months ago, a shocking and rare earthquake occurred in the southwest region. The entire Guang County was seriously affected, and An County was completely destroyed."

"You are one of the few survivors of this disaster. However, the houses in the city collapsed and the fertile fields were destroyed. You had to go north to the capital and find a living in the fireworks alley."

Yayin paused, and sighed that the natural disaster that claimed tens of thousands of lives in an instant is ruthless.

The subject changed, and he continued to speak slowly: "This is the identity you registered when you entered the capital, but we just sent people to Guangjun to check, and there is no place called An County in the disaster-stricken county, and there is no delay in the local area." Home."

The tip of his finely crafted eyes slightly curved, and he glanced at Chi Si with a smile: "I don't know who this young hero is, and what school did he study under? Why did there suddenly appear rumors pointing to you in the world?"

"Check my background in detail." Chi Si snorted and gave the person in front of him an insignificant approval, "But you don't have to lie to me like this. Although An County is just a small and remote county, but It is still recorded on the map of Guangjun."

"As for the Chi family, it's not a big family, but it's just a small business in the local area. But if you can still find the household registration yellow book among the ruins, you must be able to turn to the page about the Chi family."

An county is real, so is Chi's family, and Chi Si's identity record is flawless.

But it was just such an inconspicuous, unknown person who had never had anything to do with the world, suddenly there were rumors that he possessed a treasure that could dominate the world.And the rumors spread extremely fast, sweeping across the entire rivers and lakes in an instant.

This matter is very strange, Chi Si was puzzled, and Qi Ji was also puzzled, so he improvised a lie to find out Chi Si's truth.

The purpose was seen through, Qi Ji didn't care, and smiled generously.

He was about to continue talking, when Chi Si interrupted first: "It's late, I haven't had lunch yet. If I don't go out to find some work, I won't have dinner today."

The slender fingers with well-articulated joints raised lazily, making a gesture of seeing off the guests, expressing that he still had something to do and didn't want to accompany him any longer.

"Chi Shaoxia's problem, we may be able to help solve it." Qi Ji still blocked the narrow doorway, motionless like a mountain, blocking the opponent's way.

He tilted his head slightly, and winked at the attendant who came with him, and the two of them immediately took a step forward, lifting the tray in front of Chi Si in unison.

The red cloth covering the plate was affected by the deep internal force, and a corner would automatically roll up without wind, revealing a brilliant golden color.

"I came here at the order of the Patriarch, and I want to make a deal with Chi Shaoxia." Qi Ji pointed at the gold held in his companion's hand, "My Patriarch is willing to use a thousand taels of gold to buy the treasure in Chi Shaoxia's hand. If Shaoxia If it’s too little, the price can be negotiated.”

"It's not too little. It's the first time I've seen so much gold." Chi Si raised his mouth and raised the corner of the red cloth, showing a bit of surprise on his face, "But I really can't get what you want on me. Besides..."

"Since you have found out everything about me, you should know that I, a countryman, have never had anything to do with the world. There must be something wrong with these rumors. I would like to remind you that instead of wasting time with me, it is better to investigate Find out who made up this rumor."

"I've checked it." The corners of the sharp eyes were slightly bent, and his face was calm: "We have sent people to investigate the source of the rumors. To be honest, I don't believe that there are really any peerless treasures."

"The truth behind this rumor is probably that someone fabricated such a treasure, using the lie that can dominate the world as a bait, with the intention of disrupting the entire Jianghu."

"Heroes from all walks of life are fighting for something that doesn't exist at all. After the vitality of each faction is seriously injured, the person who spreads rumors will come out to reap the benefits of fishing. Then he can really unify the world. Rivers and lakes."

Chi Si clasped his hands on his shoulders, and nodded lazily twice: "That's the reason. Since you know what you are doing, why are you looking for me?"

"Because we can't find out who is spreading the rumors." Qi Ji smiled helplessly: "The rumors appeared suddenly and spread extremely quickly. It must be difficult to figure out who is behind them. It is very likely that someone is brewing a big conspiracy. No clues can be found, and such a thing has never been encountered before.”

"Besides, there's another very strange thing." He looked at Chi Si with deep meaning, "If I want to fabricate similar rumors, it must be to arrange the treasure in the hands of a peerless master, instead of choosing someone who is as good as Jiang Hu." Ordinary people who have nothing to do with it, it doesn't make sense."

"Do you think this is strange?" Qingyan smiled sharply and stared at Chi Si with meaning, "The Patriarch thinks that the key to the matter lies with Chi Shaoxia, so he specially ordered me to take a look. Who is the rumored Chi Si?"

"As you can see," Chi Si met the other person's gaze, and shook his hands with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "I'm just a poor refugee, penniless, let alone a treasure."

"Chi Shaoxia was joking." Qi Ji's smile deepened, and the sharpness hidden in the corners of his eyes became more intense. "Before this, I didn't believe this rumor. But after seeing Shaoxia, I told Dao Zangzhi Believe it a little bit."

"After all, although Chi Shaoxia was born in a family of merchants, his martial arts skills are not inferior to those famous masters at all."

"Ah? Someone saw it?" Chi Si's eyes flashed a little surprise, "I thought it was cleaned very well."

He concealed his skills, and all those who came to trouble him were handled properly. There should be no living person who knows his background.

"It's not because I saw it." Qi Ji shook his head with a smile, "It's just that we know exactly who came to the capital to look for you. Yesterday's Li Yi was also a well-known master in the middle of the rivers and lakes. He went to find Not long after you, you disappeared without a trace... What happened to him, we don't think about him."

Unexpectedly, there would be another problem, this matter is a bit difficult, Chi Si chuckled secretly.

Qi Ji has never reported his family background, but whether it is to investigate Chi Si's life experience, or to trace the source of rumors and grasp the whereabouts of people in the world, every word in his words implies the huge power behind him.

Buying Dao Zang with a thousand taels of gold is not an ordinary trick in the world.

The organization he belongs to is by no means an aristocratic sect on the white road, but something unspeakable hidden in the dark.

Unlike the previous gangsters, this group of people is a bit difficult to deal with.

"You're not Chi Si." Facing Shang Chi Si's murderous gaze, Qi Ji raised his mouth indifferently, "Although An County has been destroyed and your identity is difficult to verify, you are definitely not the Chi Si recorded in the household registration book. Four."

He asked the same question again: "I don't know who this young man is, and what sect and school did he study under?"

"My name is really Chi Si." Chi Si laughed instantly.

This name has been called for so many years, and now it is being questioned?How does he prove to others that he is himself?

"I lived in a remote county since I was a child. I came to the capital for the first time more than two months ago. I really don't know what treasures I have that are worthy of others' concern." He smiled helplessly, and patiently explained every word again.

"As for Shimen, it's just a small county martial arts school, not a Jianghu sect." Chi Si paused for a moment, then emphasized, "There's only so much I can say, if you don't believe me..."

He raised his head slightly, his upturned eyes were curved in a beautiful way, and his eyes were shining with a scorching light: "I can't help it. But you don't want to end up like those people, do you?"

The four eyes met, Qi Ji's warm eyes showed a cold light that did not show weakness, and both of them had the same smile hidden in their faces.

There was a sudden silence in the courtyard, and a gust of wind blew up the cold and bitter swords.

"We are serious businessmen, not robbers who kill people and rob goods." After a while, Qi Ji withdrew his cold murderous aura and said in a warm voice: "Whether there are treasures or not, as long as Chi Shaoxia is unwilling to make a deal, we will never force you to do so." .”

"It's just that I suddenly came up with an idea. Compared with stirring up the turmoil in the world and causing various knights to fight, the purpose of this rumor is more like it is aimed at Chi Shaoxia."

"So I want to know who spread such nonsense more than you guys." Chi Si sighed softly, "I'm just an unknown commoner, An County was destroyed by an earthquake, and there is no one I know in this world. "

Ever since he knew about this rumor, he himself had thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't figure out who it was and what its purpose was.

I have no clue.

"This rumor is really unbelievable." Qi Ji chuckled lightly, with teasing and elegant eyebrows: "But whether it's true or not, there will be an endless stream of guests coming to see you in the future, and I hope Chi Shaoxia will take care of you."

He bowed his hands to Chi Si and saluted: "I'm sorry for the disturbance today. The Patriarch is very concerned about this matter. If Chi Shaoxia thinks of any clues related to the mastermind behind the scenes, I hope he can tell us."

As soon as the words fell, the figure of Linfeng Yushu quickly turned around and left the courtyard gate.The two attendants also left with him, and the three of them turned the corner of the street and disappeared without a trace.

So leave?Chi Si stood alone in the courtyard with an unbelievable surprise on his face.

He also thought that Qi Ji would come to the trick of courtesy first and soldiers later, and he would have to be active.I didn't expect them to walk so neatly, without sloppiness at all.

Do you really think that this matter has nothing to do with him, or do you have other plans?

A sharp smile flashed across Chi Sijunyan's eyes—he had only been here for two months before he was involved in a mysterious event and became a celebrity.

I really don't know whether to be happy or worried.
