What’s even more strange is that if no one followed the bidding, how could the Pill of Thousand Cuts be fetched such a high price?
Everything happens for a reason and there must be a demon.
What's more, the person bidding for the Thousand-Knife Pill only reported the room number for the auction.
But he deliberately concealed his identity.
Bai Lian kept this matter in mind.
At this time, Manager Li from Wanggui Tower personally delivered lunch, but he was surprised to find that the brine was cooking in this elegant room.
He looked at the woman in a green shirt, who looked graceful and graceful even though she was squatting on the ground shaking a fan to fan the fire, and a hint of embarrassment suddenly flashed in his eyes.
He didn't know that there was such a beautiful woman hiding in this room.
Miss Qin Si stayed in this room for so long just now. Doesn't that mean the scene was awkward for a while.
No wonder...no wonder Miss Qin's eyes and neck were red with anger when she left the house.
Manager Li had a stern look on his face and kept his eyes in check, not daring to look randomly.
It's just that Wanggui Tower also has rules, so there is no room for guests to cook and light fires like savages.
What's more, it's such a big iron pot, which is really insulting to elegance.
"Hehehe... If Mr. Ji and the guests are hungry, they can ring the bell and pass on the meal.
Although we, Wanggui Lou, specifically host auction matters.
But the chefs in the building are all very skilled and ingenious people, so why bother the guests to cook by themselves. "
While he was talking, Manager Li had already ordered several servants to take away the entire pot of sauce that was almost boiling.
Shu Ci was about to get angry, but was interrupted by Bailian's voice:
"General Manager Li, I wonder if the deacon of Qin Tower will come to the Golden Immortal Auction today?"
Manager Li's eyes became more strange, and he laughed and said:
"Mr. Ji, you are asking the wrong person. Mr. Li is just a small steward of Wanggui Tower. How can he pay attention to the actions of the deacon of Qin Tower all the time."
"General Manager Li is being too modest. Since Wanggui Tower is the only building in Shifang City that has the right to be auctioned, being able to become the general manager of this place is definitely not a common person.
Miss Qin Si just now kept telling me that Manager Li was still a confidant of the deacon in Qinlou. "
Manager Li's face twitched slightly, "Please forgive Mr. Li for being stupid. I don't understand what the young master is talking about."
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. If Mr. Li is lucky enough to meet the deacon of Qinlou in the future, he might as well give me a message."
"What words?"
Balian smiled faintly, with a hint of deep meaning in his eyes, and placed his fingers on the table.
"The thin horse in Chu Palace always relies on each other."
"The thin horse in the Chu Palace always relies on each other?" Manager Li was hesitant and confused in his eyes, as if he couldn't understand the meaning of these words.
Bailian sighed softly and said: "The deacon of Qinlou has great ambitions and iron-blooded skills.
General Manager Li chose a good tree to live in because he was cleaning up, but it was not a big outrageous move.
I am just here to give some advice to Mr. Li.
Natural selection determines whether the tree under your feet is a good tree or a rotten tree...
It's still so empty that you have to cut it apart deeply and see clearly before you consider whether to attach yourself to it or not. "
Manager Li is a smart man after all, so Balian can give him some advice.
He seemed to have realized something, and looked at him with wide eyes: "Who is Mr. Ji?"
Balian sneered: "It doesn't matter who I am, Manager Li might as well take my words back to the woman and see how she reacts.
Manager Li must know whether Miss Fang San is more reliable, or whether the mother and daughter of the Qin family are more reliable. "
Manager Li's eyes flickered unconsciously, and his face seemed a little ugly, but he finally lowered his head and said:
"Mr. Li took note of Mr. Ji's suggestion."
After Bai Lian's interruption, Shu Ci calmed down for a rare moment and did not make any noise to find his iron pot.
After Manager Li left, Shu said: "The thin horse in Chu Palace always depends on each other... What does that mean?"
Bailian said: "All the romantic places in the world have a common name. In addition to the common name of 'brothel', there is also the elegant name of 'Qinlou and Chuguan'."
Shu Ci was not well versed in the world's human affairs, but the study of policies and conspiracies was an instinct deep in her bones. She frowned:
"Then Qin Si just came to our door today. You actually had advance notice and investigated her mother?"
Bai Lian was surprised by Shu Ci's thorough understanding of this aspect, looked at her sideways and smiled:
"I just pretend to be confused about other things, but because I am so sharp in this area, I didn't guess that Qin Muqing would come back to see me today.
But long before coming to Shifang City, he had already briefly investigated the backgrounds of the various forces and people in power in the city. "
Shu Ci looked unbelieving: "Are you really just doing a brief investigation?"
Balian just smiled and stopped talking.
…
…
"Okay, I've been crying all morning. I have already said that Na Ji was not simple in the past, and you must provoke her.
In the past, I was too lazy to tell you how you and Fang Geyu were angry!
It's just that now that Fang Ge's time is approaching and our great cause is about to be accomplished, why are you still so impatient that you go so far as to touch the people of Taixuanzong? "
Qin Lou fiddled with the ashes in the silver stove, while Qin Muqing, who had recently suffered a setback from Balian, threw herself between her legs and cried loudly:
"Aniang, in all my life, I have never been so humiliated!"
Qin Lou looked disgusted: "You are humiliating yourself! I got some information about this Ji Xinian from Youlang.
He is not a simple disciple of the Taixuan Nine Classics, if he is really just a Taoist priest who just immerses himself in cultivation.
Your beauty trap Moyue really works, but judging from Youlang's words, this kid seems to be from the fairy world, and his status is not lower than that of Mu Yunye.
I thought that becoming a disciple of Taixuan Sect was just to hide his true identity.
What kind of woman does a person like this want? You need to be smart enough to catch up and show your attentiveness! "
Qin Muqing wiped away her tears, raised her head, and said in shock: "That ungrateful brat actually came from the sky?"
Qin Lou saw her hesitant face and said, "Now do you realize how stupid you were when you revealed it to him today?
Xuefu's immortal essence is no small matter. You actually told such an important secret to a stranger who didn't know the details.
Be smug, think of yourself as smart! I feel that I can play with all the men in this world with my outstanding looks!
All men are lustful and stupid. If they are greedy for your beauty, they will become dizzy and let you control them, right? ! "
"mother……"
"Stupid!!! Absolutely stupid!!!"
Qin Lou scolded sternly: "You still look down on this and that all day long! Little do you know that Fang Geyu is far more thoughtful than you in this regard!
That Ji's appearance was good in the past, but did you ever see Fang Geyu flattering him to show her comfort?
How stupid! Of course, a tactful woman makes it easy for a man to be attracted to her and make it easier to do things, but the life of being able to serve others is never easy.
Your mother and I are the best example. When we came to Shifang City in the early years, although Youlang cherished me, he only treated me like a kitten or puppy's plaything.
If I hadn't climbed to the position I am today, how could his freshness last for more than ten years? "
"I thought you could learn to be smarter from me, but I never imagined that you would go back as you live. You have no idea where Ji Xinian came from and what his purpose was!
On the contrary, if you let out all your secrets, wouldn't you let others manipulate you? "
Qin Muqing was unconvinced: "But I made a desperate move, didn't I learn from my mother-in-law?"
Qin Lou's face turned pale with anger: "When I risked my life for my mother, I also made sure that Fang You was at the end of his rope. Both of them had to take a gamble to survive.
Who was he in the past? A disciple of Taixuan Nine Classics, the Immortal Lord in Heaven, the successor of the awakened Six Paths Talisman! Which identity needs to bet with you! "
Qin Muqing said: "What should we do now? He already knows that we have taken the Snow City Lord's immortal essence for ourselves. If we tell the City Lord and Fang Geyu about this, will we..."
"Could it be something?!" Qin Lou's eyes were sharp and he sneered: "Who would believe something without any evidence!
When the woman Xue Fu went to Yue He, it was her daughter who saw it with her own eyes.
Now this immortal essence has been integrated into your bones, making it difficult to detect.
As long as you deny it, who can do anything to us, mother and son?
Speaking of the spread of the witch plague poison in the past few days, Shifang City was devastated in every possible way, and Fang You was already in a state of distress.
And I also took this opportunity to firmly control most of the power in Shifang City.
When I find a suitable opportunity to expose the hidden dangers of this puppet mecha army to the world, Shifang City will definitely face condemnation from the people of the world.
As for the Fang family, Fang Geyu was the first to bear the brunt and suffered deeply.
We only need the advantage of the fisherman in our left hand and wait for the day when the owner changes hands and takes power. "
Qin Lou squinted his eyes and sneered: "Since this Ji Xi knew the secret of our mother and daughter, she couldn't keep it.
It's just that he has a special status, so I'm afraid it's difficult to take action.
Don't be too hasty in killing him, but wait and see where he stands. It would be a good thing if you can win him over without any bloodshed.
If you are an enemy today, you may become an ally tomorrow. "
Qin Muqing disagreed: "Mother, you don't know how bad this guy's character is. It's not that easy to win him over without spending a lot of money."
Qin Lou smiled and said: "Your temper is too impatient. You must know that in this world, everyone will have weaknesses that can be attacked.
As long as he is seeking power, it will be difficult to shake his heart. "
While the two were talking, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Master Qinlou, Li Hui dares to ask for an audience."
Qin Muqing frowned: "Manager Li, we have ten minutes of lunch break. How could he find this place?"
Qin Lou felt something move in his heart, his expression calmed down, and he returned to his previous enigmatic appearance, and said calmly: "Come in."
Manager Li pushed open the door and knelt down on one knee: "I have met Mr. Qin Lou, Miss Qin Si."
"Mr. Li is here to see me at this time. Is there something urgent?"
Manager Li had a confused look on his face, hesitating and testing for a long time, and finally lowered his head and said:
"Master Qinlou, when we were delivering lunch just now, Mr. Ji asked me to bring a message to Master Qinlou."
Qin Muqing couldn't help but look sulky when she heard that name:
"Are you his dog? He asked you to deliver a message, but you come to disturb my mother indiscriminately like this. You don't know the rules!"
Manager Li was reprimanded but did not refute, only lowered his head.
Qin Lou stopped his daughter's rude remarks with his eyes, picked up a cup of tea and sipped it calmly:
"General Manager Li is an old man who is looking forward to his return to the building. In front of me, you don't need to be so polite. Can you stand up and talk?"
Little did he know that Mr. Ji had to go to the trouble of Mr. Li to pass on the important words in person. "
"...Mr. Ji only asks the villain to tell you one sentence. The thin horse in Chu Palace always relies on each other."
Bang! ! ! !
The hot tea in Qin Lou's hand splashed to the ground.
She suddenly raised her scarlet eyebrows, filled with murderous intent and indescribable terror.
Manager Li was startled, and his heart became more and more shuddering.
Qin Muqing had never seen her mother so glum, and looked at her with a pale face:
"Mom...what's wrong with you? Is there anything wrong with what you said?"
Qin Lou didn't seem to hear what his daughter said. She froze her hands and pinched a handkerchief with a cold face.
Wiping the tea leaves off his body bit by bit, he seemed to have calmed down, but the anger in his eyes was terrifying.
"I understand, why don't you step back first?"
Manager Li's eyes flickered, hiding his unknown thoughts, he said yes and then retreated.
As soon as he left the room, Qin Lou stood up with a cold face and suddenly opened the table.
No one could understand her current mood. The feeling of being fooled for no reason was simply manic.
She was like an out-of-control female animal, with scarlet eyes and distorted face, completely missing the calmness and wisdom she had when teaching Qin Muqing.
She paced back and forth in the room, biting her fingers, and under Qin Muqing's horrified gaze, she seemed to have her soul captured, talking to herself.
"How is it possible! How is it possible! Who was this Ji in the past year?!"
"How did he know! How did he know that I had a slimming job!
All the old people who knew about this are dead! All dead!
The traces of that year have been completely erased, how could he still find it? ! "
Qin Muqing also became excited when she heard the word thin horse. She looked at her in disbelief and screamed:
"Mom! What do you mean you have been a thin horse?! You are the second young lady of the Qin family, how could you be a thin horse?!"
Qin Lou was disheveled and went crazy, biting his thumb until it bled.
Seeing this, Qin Muqing hurriedly picked up a pot of cold tea, poured it on his head, and shouted loudly:
"Mom, calm down. If you are driven crazy by him at this time, wouldn't you be playing into the enemy's hands?"
Qin Lou was showered with chills, and as the rolling water dropped down her forehead and across her eyebrows, the look in her eyes became increasingly gloomy and dark.
She slowly closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and said shockingly:
"I was originally the daughter of a criminal official in the former dynasty of Ze State, and I was exiled to be a thin horse in the Qin Tower and Chu Hall.
After passing through several hands, it was finally transferred to the Qin family for the ancestors of the Qin family to enjoy.
I was unwilling to give in, and every day when I served him wholeheartedly, I would always coax the ancestor of the Qin family to teach me a few spiritual tips for spiritual practice.
Gradually, his spiritual roots began to show up, and he practiced properly, and then he was valued by the ancestor and taught carefully.
I was successful in cultivation, and my ancestor pointed me to Qin Yi as his wife. Even though he loved me in every possible way and took great care of me, he still cared about the fact that I was born as a skinny horse and had been tasted by thousands of people and ridden by ten thousand people.
He never bothered to take me around in front of others, so few people knew that I was his Qin Yi's wife. "
When Qin Muqing heard this, her heart was shaken and her eyes widened, as if she had heard something extremely terrifying.
"Uncle Qin Yi... Isn't he the eldest young master of the Qin family? Isn't he your blood brother, mother? How could it be like this... How could it be like this..."
Qin Lou looked at her intently and said in shock: "He is your biological father!"
Qin Mu's Qingtian Linggai seemed to make a bang, and he fell to the ground in despair, speechless.
Qin Lou wiped the water droplets from his face coldly and said: "Later, I met Fang You. He was the Lord of Shifang City, and his status was only higher than that of the ancestor of the Qin family.
He favors me very much and appreciates my means and abilities. The Qin family intends to use me to connect with the behemoth Shifang City. Why not give me a happy gift?
Not many people simply knew that I was Qin Yi's wife, but later they were silenced one after another, and the news was kept tightly hidden.
The ancestor of the Qin family gave me the name Qin Lou because of the identity of Qin Yi’s second sister in the family tree. "
Qin Muqing's face turned pale, and for a moment she felt like the sky was about to fall: "Qin Tower and Chu Hall, Chu Hall and thin horses always rely on each other..."
Although City Lord Fang has a gentle temperament, there is never a trace of sand in his eyes.
If...if he knows that you, mother, are not actually a widow..."
That outcome is unimaginable!
Qin Lou's face was sinister and vicious: "The ancestor of the Qin family came forward to solve what happened back then. The traces were dealt with cleanly and no clues were left. But how did he find out?"
"This Ji Xiannian and Qin Yi can no longer stay together."
Qin Muqing's heart trembled with fear, and for that moment, she was almost horrified: "Mom, this is just Uncle Qin Yi.
But in the past, Ji, didn't you just say that he was an immortal king in heaven? How can we, just ordinary cultivators, kill immortals? "
"Didn't my mother teach you how to kill someone with a borrowed knife?
But I still remember that on the day of the Poseidon Festival, that boy brazenly offended Jinxian Fengxu.
No matter what kind of immortal king he is, if he can get the help of the Golden Immortal, he will be destroyed invisibly.
That boy's weakness is Empress Zhongyou, so I will start from this aspect, he has to die! "
"But Aniang, if you want to kill Ji Xiannian, that's all. Why do you want to bring Qin Yi...uncle too..."
Qin Lou was silent for a moment. As the skylight rose, the cold pupils revealed their shadows little by little from the darkness of his eyes.
She said quietly: "What you just said is right, Fang You can't tolerate any sand in his eyes, I need to be prepared.
If something happens, he will see that I killed Qin Yi and see my sincerity, so he will not care too much. I know his temperament..."
Qin Muqing's body felt cold and cold, and she felt strange for a moment, but she couldn't tell exactly what was strange.
Just before she came out of Na Ji's old room, he asked Manager Li to say such a word, which made her mother feel as if she was going to a dead end.
Even the people who had hair in the past must be coldly removed.
It is difficult to find out the past when he was young, but now that he knows what happened after his death, he suddenly understands why my mother looked at my uncle differently than ordinary people.
It was clearly looking at the person he loved.
But now, he was forced to kill his own husband.
At first glance, this seems to be the mother's vicious intention to eliminate future troubles.
But if you think about it calmly and carefully, if your mother kills Qin Yi... uncle.
While seeking stability from City Lord Fang You, he also offended the Qin family, which was tantamount to killing oneself.
He did nothing.
But just like that, my mother and the Qin family broke up, with no chance of change.
This person's thoughts are truly terrifying.
