The Immortal Monarch Xia was deceived

Qi Ji was just coming out of a small shop, today he was still wearing ordinary coarse clothes, the sun outlined a soft and delicate gleam on his body.

If he hadn't personally experienced his thick and sharp zhenqi that day, it would be hard for Chi Si to imagine that he was actually a sharp and sharp master.

Qi Ji also saw Chi Si at the same time.

That lazy, dissolute and carefree demeanor made him not hold back for a moment, and chuckled softly.

"Go home?" Qi Ji took a few steps closer, and walked into a distance where he could talk normally, "Come out from Fireworks Lane? Why didn't any guests come to see you today?"

Chi Si raised the paper bag in his hand and shook it in front of the other party: "Work to earn money to fill your stomach."

"Those people from the rivers and lakes come to me every now and then, so I don't have time to look for errands. I was already poor, and now I have no money to eat."

With a smile on the corner of his mouth, his tone was indifferent, and he talked about major events in life, but his attitude was understated and careless.

He chuckled again: "I really hope that I can have some treasure on my body, which can be exchanged for a thousand taels of gold, so that I won't have to worry about the trivial matters of firewood, rice, oil and salt in the future."

"Let's go." Qi Ji understood what the other party meant, and said with a light smile, "I invite you to dinner."

Chi Si followed Qi Ji to the tavern from last time, and they still had the same side dishes as last time.

"Add a dish today." Chi Si put the oiled paper bag on the table with his hand, and quickly opened it, "The pastries in Zuihonglou are not available to ordinary people. It is said that a piece costs one tael of silver."

He moved neatly, boldly and generously, and those who didn't know thought he invited the meal.

"Common people can't eat the pastries of Zuihonglou, and it is even more difficult for ordinary people to see the top brands of Zuihonglou, but it is said that they are very familiar with you." Qi Ji took a piece of soft pastry and teased: "The girls who are most popular in Fireworks Alley The welcome one is probably Chi Lao Si."

"Where is it, brother Taiwan is so good." Chi Si moved his chopsticks indifferently: "I am just an errand runner. My hometown was hit by a disaster, and I came to the capital alone to make a living. I am not familiar with the place, so it is easy to get errands in the fireworks alley. , they won't delve into your past."

"But this job earns too little, so it's not a long-term solution. If necessary, after the Daozang incident, I can ask someone to introduce you to other avenues." Qi Ji followed suit, "During this time, If there is any difficulty in money, I can also lend you some for the time being."

This is the second time today that someone has mentioned to introduce him.

Chi Si didn't take it seriously, and pointed to the food on the table with his chopsticks: "It's not necessary to borrow money, just treat me to dinner a few more times."

The two chatted casually about some irrelevant topics.

They all knew in their hearts that the other party had a deeper side, but at the moment they all chose to play the role of ordinary common people, and never mentioned the affairs of the world.

This is a kind of tacit understanding, and the distance between the two is just right.

There is enough food, but there are still only three small glasses of wine.

The two of them didn't talk much, they ate food in silence, but the atmosphere was harmonious.

***

The sun is setting in the west, the setting sun is shining at night, and the fireworks in the world are dyed with a touch of gold.

Even the dilapidated old courtyard where Chi Si lived was warmed by the twilight, driving away the boundless desolation.

Not long after Chi Si returned to the house from the outside, before the stool warmed up, he heard a slight knocking sound from the old wooden door.

A lot of people from Jianghu came to him in the past two months, but this was the second time they came from the main entrance, they knew the etiquette, and they knew how to knock on the door lightly.

Chi Si said "Come in" and walked out of the door to the courtyard, a little curious about the origin of this person this time.

The rotten door was slowly pushed open, accompanied by old and dull syllables.

The visitor appeared in front of Chi Si with the afterglow of the setting sun—it was still Qi Ji.

"Go, have a drink."

Qi Jichao raised his chin recklessly, his voice was not loud, but with a thunderous power that could not be rejected.

Chi Si walked behind him all the way, but the place he arrived at was not the same tavern as the last two times.

Qi Ji brought him to a luxurious and elegant tall restaurant.

He once heard people from Firework Alley mention that this restaurant is very famous in the capital, and it is a place frequented by dignitaries in the city.

The guests coming and going are all dressed in silk and satin, and they are either rich or expensive.

The waiter at the entrance of the restaurant who greeted the guests saw them with a hesitant look on his face, not knowing whether to welcome them in or keep them out of the door.

The two guests in front of them were dressed in shabby clothes, and they didn't seem to be able to afford the money to eat and drink here.

But these two people are both good-looking, and the waiter has never seen someone who looks better than them.

A poor family would never be able to raise such a son of jade and gold.The waiter was afraid that they were the young masters of some rich family, so he deliberately wore the clothes of the poor to "understand the people's sentiments", and also feared that they really had no money, so they came to eat the overlord's meal.

Qi Ji's eyes dimmed, and he threw an ingot at Xiao Er: "Arrange a private room for us."

Since you have money, you can talk about anything.

The waiter's slightly frowned brows immediately relaxed, and changed into a naive and almost obsequious smile, nodded and bowed, and led the two of them to a private room on the third floor.

Chi Si had never been to such a luxurious place, so he inevitably felt the novelty, shaking his head and staring left and right.

Qi Ji has long been used to it, and before Xiaoer can report the dishes, he has already proficiently named a bunch of dishes.

The shop waiter wrote it down and left the private room quickly, muttering in a low voice: "These young masters from rich families are full of hobbies. They don't wear fine brocade clothes, but pretend to be poor. Fortunately, they were not stopped at the door. outside……"

"Why do you have the money to invite me here today?" After the waiter left, Chi Si teased, "What kind of errand did you do, and you got a reward?"

"No. The mission was messed up, I was injured, and I was fined next month's money." Qi Ji pouted, forcing a forced smile, "But I got a lot of money because of it."

The gloomy eyes tried their best to hide an unconcealable sadness.

"..." Chi Si sensed the other party's hidden emotions, restrained his frivolous and lazy smile, and asked seriously, "What's the matter?"

Although it's not convenient for him to ask about Qi Ji's affairs.But since the other party called him here uncharacteristically, they must want to talk to him.
