Chapter 7: Courage
The snowflakes are falling, the soup pool is gurgling, the heat is even hotter than before, the steaming water vapor makes Zeng Shiquan's face a little hazy and difficult to distinguish, but the fierce murderous aura is cold.
This made Chang Sihao's skin glow with a slight stinging pain.
Guo Shu Ronghua was still smiling slightly, the whole person was so gentle and calm, like the evening breeze in summer.
His position is only one and a half feet away from the edge of the pool, and it is a squatting position, next to the back of the grill is Zeng Shiquan, if the grill is overturned, the charcoal fire is flying, Zeng Shiquan will avoid it, and Guo Shu Ronghua will dodge sideways, when the foot is forced, there must be a moment to step on the ground, take advantage of this opportunity to grab his ankle, as long as he drags it into the water, he is four to one, the action is dexterous, he is wrapped in water, even if he has the power to cover the sky, he will be able to be captured by me,
When Chang Sihao was thinking in his heart, his hand had already cut out a round stone between the underwater pool walls, and his toes secretly buckled the bottom of the pool.
wait
He tried his best to suppress his heartbeat: he was captured in Yanxiangguan, and he was bound in the library, he was too little guarded and too impulsive, and his current opponent was the dignified Dongchang Governor, everything he did just now was the last gift to the dying person.
Xiaotangshan is far away from the city, secluded and quiet, and it is also a good place to kill people and cover up.
However, as the governor of Dongchang, he really shouldn't waste so much time for a few dead people.
I only heard Qin Juexiang laugh: "Master Zeng's words, I want to refute it slightly, in my opinion, what is simply given is not an opportunity, it is just a charity,"
Guo Shu Ronghua said: "Yes, so in your opinion, what is the real opportunity?"
There was a sound of water, Qin Juexiang raised his arm, picked up a chopstick in the wooden plate, his eyes swept over Zeng Shiquan's vigilant expression with contempt, and suddenly shook his hand, the chopsticks flew out, inserted into the charcoal fire, and sizzled, and the bamboo stick thrown by Guo Shu Ronghua was in unison, and said leisurely: " Shuangqiao is easy to walk, it is difficult to walk alone, opportunity is a relative thing, I sell, I give others a chance to buy, others buy, I get a chance to sell, so to give others a chance, is to give yourself a chance, I believe that the officialdom of the shopping mall is the same, the governor will also have a mind about this way,"
Several people were relatively silent, their eyes intertwined into a web, and the smell of meat in the air mixed with the smell of tofu, forming a strange taste.
Falling snow flakes, still leisurely and cool,
Guo Shu Ronghua slowly stood up, his clothes drooped, looked up at the snow, and smiled faintly: "Since the young master is not far from Beijing, it seems that he will have the opportunity to walk side by side with me,"
The corners of Qin Juexiang's mouth were slanted, and he hugged his fists slightly: "I don't dare to go side by side, but the lonely person in the high-rise building is lonely, and there are few intimate friends, so it must be a great luck and a great pleasure to be able to accompany a romantic person like the Duke to watch the wind and admire the moon all the way, and point out the country."
Chang Sihao's eyebrows furrowed, feeling that he had changed a lot after the reunion, many of his thoughts and practices were very different from before, looking at the current sincere happy expression, I don't know if this is a temporary expedient measure, or from the heart,
At this time, I saw Guo Shu Ronghua answer: "Okay," and glanced at himself with a soft smile and said: "Chitose, a few of you enjoy it slowly, Ronghua farewell," said a slight salute, and Zeng Shiquan floated away,
Chang Sihao and the four of them looked at each other for a while, hurriedly got out of the water to change their clothes, and went to the front hall to see, the guards and shop companions were staggering, Nuan'er was sitting on a chair on the side, her eyes were blinking, her bones were weak and she couldn't move, Chen Shengyi checked it and said: "It's **," Ma Mingshao saw a small green bottle on the table next to him, picked it up and looked at it and said: "I think Guo Shu Ronghua won't harm us anymore, most of the time this bottle is the antidote," exchanged glances with Qin Juexiang, covered his mouth and nose, opened the mouth of the green bottle, and stretched it out under the nose of a shop partner, the man sneezed, and there was a relieved expression on his face, Ma Mingshao saw that the medicine worked, and everyone smelled it at the moment,
Asked about the situation just now, Nuan'er said: "We smelled a fragrance, and our bodies softened, a big brother and a white-faced old man walked in, the old man kicked the shopkeeper and nodded, the big brother saw me, so he picked me up and put me on the chair, and then went to the backyard to find you,"
Qin Juexiang asked, "Didn't he say anything?"
Nuan'er rolled her eyes and said, "Ah, before the big brother picked me up, he smiled and said, 'Good, it's cold on the ground, girls can't catch a cold,'"
Chang Sihao heard a slight goosebump on his body, frowned, Qin Juexiang snorted coldly: "You don't want to take a bath yet," Nuan'er said: "I've washed it," Qin Juexiang scolded: "Isn't it dirty to let a stinky man hug it," Nuan'er said: "That big brother is very clean, he doesn't ...... at all" Seeing that Qin Juexiang's eyes were not good, he flattened his mouth, and said: "Okay, I'll wash it," lowered his head, Qin Juexiang scolded the guards again, and pulled Chang Sihao and the three into the house, and asked Ma Mingshao in a low voice: " I asked you to go undercover, he really didn't see a flaw," Ma Mingshao said: "It shouldn't be," Qin Juexiang blinked, paced back and forth in the room for a few steps, and stared back at Ma Mingshao and said: "He asked you to be a two-faced person, but he didn't need you to spy on the news, but came over to test my heart in person, according to what you think," Ma Mingshao was stunned and said, "This ...... The subordinates are really a little incomprehensible at the moment," Chen Sheng said: "He won't be unaware of our movements in Shanxi these days, his style is very different from the old lady in Japan, I think he is really moving his mind and wants to take the Qin family for his own use,"
Qin Juexiang said: "You say, can he guess that I know the real murderer of the sect," Ma Mingshao said: "In addition to the four of us, this matter is known to several major helmsmen, and it has not been passed on, and then he has been pointing the finger at Juhao Pavilion, I believe that there will be no flaws, but since he did it, there will naturally be a guard in his heart," Chang Sihao said: "I have already fought about this matter when I met him in person, and I didn't reveal it if he didn't reveal it, but most of the photos, I thought that the reason why he came at night was because of this matter,"
Qin Juexiang's eyes were cold: "He knows that he is in danger, and he still wants to take me for use,"
Chang Sihao said: "Guo Shu Ronghua goes around with officials everywhere every day, and he should have considerable confidence in the manipulators," Qin Juexiang frowned, understanding that if the other party is really like this, it is not a matter of being bold, but he has already seen through his weaknesses, thinking that it is easy to control it, this kind of thinking is similar to his own thinking of watching the eldest grandson laugh late, thinking that he didn't know that someone was following him after falling, and he also made a lot of nonsense on the mountain road, and finally ended up being blocked in the pool with his bare buttocks, and he couldn't help but feel ashamed and annoyed,
Ma Mingshao discerned his face, looked at it early, and explained: "Dongchang detectives are extremely difficult, Jiang Dajian walked with us, and he didn't even find them following, it can be seen how good these people are, I don't think we have to care about today's gains and losses, and be more careful in the future, now that Guo Shu Ronghua wants to manipulate us, he won't kill us for a while, and we just happen to plan it,"
Qin Juexiang pursed his lips, his willow eyes swept slantedly, and he said astringently: "Yes, since he has the courage to take risks, I should go straight forward to see who killed the deer,"
Chang Sihao asked: "Are you expanding rapidly at home, and you are in a hurry to go north, is it to deal with the East Factory," Qin Juexiang said: "Exactly, it is impossible to just say that you don't take a step," Chang Sihao said: "I think the East Factory is strong, and you can't combine them, if you want to move them, you have to rely on other methods," Qin Juexiang nodded: "I also know that they are not easy to deal with, so I sent people to infiltrate, and I want to gradually find out, what good ideas does the eldest brother have," Chang Sihao shook his head: " For the time being, I have no clue, but I think that Zheng Mengzhu has been in Beijing for many years, and he can see all kinds of things that others can't see, and listening to his thoughts will always be of some help to us in doing things,"
Qin Juexiang let out a long hum, his expression hesitant,
Ma Mingshao bowed and said: " Some words should not be said by subordinates, but the subordinates are loyal to the main, and they have to say it, even if Chang Ye blames it, he can't take care of it, the young master, the Hundred Swords League and the government have been connected for a long time, its nature has changed early, and the ideas and practices are not from the consideration of martial arts colleagues, when the old lady was mourned before, he had expressed a clear attitude and position in the league, not to mention the rejection of the joint efforts later, people go to tea and cool, the past friendship has long become an invalid yellow calendar, the Hundred Swords League has been entrenched in Beijing for a hundred years, and it has become a monopoly trend, how can you allow others to enter the trouble, I think they will definitely spare no effort to squeeze us out, let alone give us any good ideas, Chang Ye has not been deeply involved in the rivers and lakes, and he has not judged their tricks enough, and mistakenly thinks it is true, this is what Manager Chen also said before, and his subordinates will not repeat it here, in short, his subordinates think that the direction and pace of our Qin family must be decided by the Qin family's own people,"
Qin Juexiang's face gradually showed a smile, and he was especially relieved to hear the last sentence, and nodded: "Well said," his expression became solemn again, and he said to Chang Sihao: "Big brother, the Jianghu martial arts are unpredictable, many things are not as simple as they seem on the surface, the sword family's rhetoric is all deceptive nonsense, the previous actions of the Hundred Sword Alliance may be to tie your heart, but it is used to contain me, this is to divide our brothers, don't treat them as good people,"
Chang Sihao frowned, looked at Chen Shengyi, who was silent next to him, and looked at Ma Mingshao, who was sincere and fist-fighting, and felt that he was the only one in this room for a while, knowing that Ma Mingshao's words were Qin Juexiang's heart's words, and it was useless to persuade now, only when he personally met the master of Zheng Meng, maybe there would be a change, and he smiled faintly at the moment: "Yes, Jingshi is a place where people are treated, I have not been here for a long time, but I have been frustrated several times in a row, maybe I think some things are too simple,"
Qin Juexiang was overjoyed, came over and hugged his back and smiled: "Hey, people's hearts are separated from the belly, and the Bodhisattva's navel also has mud, there are not many good people in this world, there are many bad people, there are no tricks at all, come on, don't talk about this, today sent away Chief Jiang, coaxed away Guo Dugong, these two parties are fine, the world is peaceful for the time being, our brothers haven't seen each other for a long time, we have to drink a few cups of it,"
Chang Sihao knew that Qin Juexiang didn't like to drink, and saying this was nothing more than to contact his feelings, so he waved his hand to show that he didn't have to, and asked: "How are you going to enter Beijing," Qin Juexiang said: "I'm spinning outside, the biggest worry is Dongchang, if I can maintain it here, I can naturally enter the city at any time," his eyes squinted: "Big brother, don't you still want me to go to see Lao Zheng as soon as possible," Chang Sihao smiled: " You have to take root in the capital, you have to meet him, it doesn't matter if it's morning or night, I have something to do, I won't drink with you today," he shook his hand, "Jue Xiang, you are careful in everything, don't be reckless, if there is something I will send a message to Duhulou to contact you, let's meet again another day," he turned around and went out,
Qin Juexiang said: "Big brother, what are you in such a hurry," Ma Mingshao said in a low voice: "Young master, Chitose has something at hand, let's not move to ask," Chang Sihao was kicking in and out of the door, the cotton curtain in his hand was not raised, and when he heard this, he stopped his steps, turned back suddenly, glanced coldly at Ma Mingshao's face, stopped talking, turned his head and threw the curtain away, Qin Juexiang took a step forward, but his figure froze, his eyebrows frowned slightly, his eyes hesitated, and he leaned to the side and said: "Uncle Chen, send my eldest brother for me," Chen Sheng nodded,
The two of them walked away, and Qin Juexiang's face was full of displeasure: "Ma Mingshao, what are you doing here?"
Ma Mingshao hurriedly congratulated himself: "Young Master Mingjian, my subordinates are also thinking about you, now your eldest brother is no longer what it used to be, don't you see it?"
