At Qi Ronger's invitation, Qi Yoyo jumped onto the carriage. Zhang Xiaopou just happened to move out of an empty seat while dodging Qi Ronger's claws, and she sat down without choosing a position.
Qi Ronger hurriedly wanted to make room for Qi Yoyo, but when she saw that Qi Yoyo was close to Zhang Xiaozu's body because of the narrow space, there was no sign of conflict or resistance on her face, and she even frowned. Without even frowning, she immediately gave up the idea, and then secretly observed the expressions and reactions of Zhang Xiaozu and Qi Yoyo, thinking deeply in her heart.
"What were the three of them laughing at just now?" Qi Yoyo asked Qi Ronger curiously after sitting down.
"Humph, the three of them teamed up to tease me, and I was so angry!" Qi Ronger was angry but couldn't help but find it funny, and said angrily: "Zhang Xiaozu said he can pinch and count, and can figure out your name. , and said that you and I are destined in this life, and the pull of fate will make you take the initiative to come and say hello to me. You don’t know what kind of reaction I had when I saw you walking over step by step and taking the initiative to say hello to me. We should regard him as a god! Who knew that these three guys would have known you for a long time and knew that you came here to find them."
Qi Yoyo smiled and said, "He is right about one thing. We are indeed destined in this life. Otherwise, how could we be sitting together now?"
"Yes, that's true." Qi Ronger said with a happy smile.
Qi Yoyo took the opportunity to hold Qi Ronger's hand and said, "I am two years older than you, so I will call you sister Ronger."
Qi Ronger's hand shrank subconsciously, lowered her head and said sadly: "I am a concubine."
In front of Qi Yoyo, her status as "concubine" made her feel inferior.
"Children of the world are not distinguished by direct concubines." Qi Yoyo didn't care about this.
"Really?" Qi Ronger's eyes lit up and she looked up at Qi Yoyo expectantly, wanting to make sure she heard correctly.
"Really!" Qi Yoyo nodded affirmatively.
"Then I - then I will be brave and call you Sister Yoyo." Qi Ronger said excitedly and happily.
She was really excited and happy because she had lived in an environment divided between concubines and concubines since she was a child. Because she was a concubine, she couldn't go to many places, couldn't appear on many occasions, couldn't do many things, couldn't say many words, Wait, wait, etc., it feels like every corner of the world is filled with malice and discrimination against concubines, who only deserve to live a humble life.
But she never expected that a noble lady like Qi Yoyo would not care about her status as a concubine. She could see that Qi Yoyo's eyes were sincere and not lying. This made her not excited. , how unhappy.
"Don't pay too much attention to this. The current Queen Xiaoci is also a concubine. Do you think any of the civil and military ministers in the Jinluan Palace dare to gossip?" Qi Yoyo said. Having said that, it is mostly comforting. After all, there is only one mother of the nation today. Princes and princesses are still classified as legitimate concubines, not to mention common people?
"Thank you sister!" Qi Ronger said gratefully. Qi Yoyo's words were very effective, at least it made her a lot more confident.
"Are you just here to watch the fun, or are you planning to compete on stage?" Qi Yoyo asked. At the same time, he rubbed his shoulder against Zhang Xiaozu intentionally or unintentionally, as if he wanted to question Zhang Xiaozu.
Zhang Xiaozhu opened his mouth to answer, but Qi Ronger beat him to it and said: "I have been trying to persuade Xiaozhu for a long time, and my words are almost worn out, but he refuses to go on stage. I still wonder why he has such high standards. Even a beauty as beautiful as the second young lady of the Qin family could not even look down on her, and she never thought that she already had a crush on her."
As Qi Ronger spoke, she looked at Qi Yoyo and Zhang Xiaozu with ambiguous eyes. The implication was quite obvious, which made Qi Yoyo blush.
His cheeks were red, and he lowered his head and was too embarrassed to look at her.
However, Qi Ronger's words made Qi Yoyo secretly relieved, because she heard that the relationship between Qi Ronger and Zhang Xiaozhu was a friendship, not a relationship between a man and a woman, which made her feel a ridiculous feeling of excluding a love rival. .
Especially when she came here just now and saw Zhang Xiaozu and Qi Ronger sitting side by side talking and laughing from a distance, she couldn't help but feel a strong sense of crisis in her heart. Mainly because she heard Zhang Xiaozu mention Qi Ronger several times when she was in Yancheng. Zhang Xiaozu's words revealed his gratitude, care and longing for Qi Ronger, which made her subconsciously imagine the close relationship between the two. So when she heard that the relationship between the two was not what she thought, she immediately breathed a long sigh of relief.
The series of reactions in her heart made Qi Yoyo feel funny, because one moment she was laughing at Qin Xinru's suspicion and jealousy, but she never thought that the next moment she would become another Qin Xinru, and suddenly she understood Qin Xinru's feelings.
The shyness of Qi Yoyo's daughter's family confirmed Qi Ronger's suspicion. While she was secretly happy for Zhang Xiaozu, she couldn't help feeling a little disappointed and worried about gains and losses. She felt that Zhang Xiaozu was going to be snatched away by Qi Yoyo.
Women are always sentimental.
However, the exciting fight in the ring quickly diverted their attention. The man in white made a beautiful move to look at the moon. The man in blue was unable to react in time and was pierced through the shoulder by the sword of the man in white. Then he was kicked in the lower abdomen by the man in white and kicked off the ring. , the man in blue covered his wound with his hand and angrily pushed through the crowd and left.
"good!"
"Wonderful!"
"Next one, next one."
The crowd watching in the audience applauded and urged the next person to come on stage quickly.
Qi Yoyo and Qi Ronger also applauded, and the two of them whispered to each other, guessing how many rounds the man in white on the stage could last.
Seeing that no one came on stage immediately, Qi Yoyo continued the previous topic and asked: "Then you are just here to watch the fun."
"That's not the case." Zhang Xiaozu shook his head and said, "We heard that the eldest elder of the Qin family was seriously injured when fighting the big-toothed dog, and the Qin family has been paying a lot of money to buy rare treasures or treasures that are beneficial to the soul. , presumably the Great Elder hurt his soul, so he came over to see if he could help."
"That's it." Qi Yoyo understood what Zhang Xiaozu meant after hearing this. The Qin family paid huge sums for treasures that were beneficial to the soul, which was exactly what Zhang Xiaopou wanted. As long as Zhang Xiaozu is willing, he can continuously provide such treasures to the Qin family, but he is afraid that the Qin family does not have enough financial resources.
She has been wearing the flying bird necklace that Zhang Xiaozu gave her, and the benefits were astounding to her. In less than ten days, she could clearly feel that her spirit had strengthened a little bit.
It sounds like the effect is average, only a small amount of enhancement, but you must know that without the help of the flying bird necklace, it would take at least four months to half a year for her soul to enhance this tiny amount. In other words, the bird necklace was worn on her body for less than ten days, and the nourishing effect on her soul was equivalent to the effect of four months to half a year of training under normal circumstances.
In this comparison, the powerful effect of the Bird Necklace is obvious.
The enhancement of the soul has benefited Qi Yoyo a lot. All kinds of perceptions have been greatly improved. There are already signs of breakthroughs in her cultivation. Even her mentality of justice and judgment, which has not made any progress, has loosened a little and seems to be about to break through. Signs of shackles.
Therefore, in Qi Yoyo's opinion, if the Qin family is really in urgent need of such treasures, Zhang Xiaopou can easily satisfy them. She was worried that Zhang Xiaopeng would open his mouth and gain a bad reputation as a robber.
Qi Yoyo probably knew the current difficult situation of the Qin family, maybe because of the friendship between the two families, and couldn't help but sympathize with them, so she hoped that Zhang Xiaozu could ask less and help the Qin family. So she leaned towards Zhang Xiaozu, put her head into Zhang Xiaozu's ear, and asked in a low voice: "The Qin family is in a very difficult situation right now. Can you ask for less?"
Zhang Xiaozhu's ears felt warm and itchy from the hot breath coming out of Qi Yoyo's mouth. He felt as if a string had been pulled apart in his body, causing a strange warm current to fill his heart and flow to his limbs and bones. The place you pass by is numb and tingling, extremely comfortable.
"I don't plan to ask for money." Zhang Xiaozhu responded.
Qi Yoyo's cheeks couldn't help but blush after hearing this, and she felt ashamed in her heart, feeling that she was judging a gentleman's belly with a villain's heart.
But I heard Zhang Xiaozu continue to say: "I heard that the eldest elder of the Qin family has a good reputation in Baiyun City, so I want him to help promote it. I plan to sell five jade pendants and exchange some from the major families in Baiyun City. For medicinal purposes.”
"Then you have to hurry up." Qi Yoyo heard this.
"What do you mean?" Zhang Xiaozu didn't understand.
Qi Yoyo put his mouth close to Zhang Xiaozu's ear and said in a voice that only he could hear: "The military is preparing to attack the big family. To make them bloodletting, at least two-thirds of the family's wealth must be used to support it." This is the next big war. Who dares to object, suppress it directly with force. Think about it, a rooster that has been plucked will still be willing to spend a lot of money to buy a consumable product with a time limit? "
Zhang Xiaozhu was shocked when he heard this, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was appropriate.
In the peaceful years without war, these large families relied on the protection of the country to develop their wealth and grow their families with peace of mind. Now that the country is in trouble, it is reasonable and reasonable to need their support. Otherwise, if the country is gone, the big-toothed dog cavalry will step into Baiyun City and talk about a shitty family.
"Then let's do it tonight." Zhang Xiaozhu said, "In fact, it's not troublesome. Just call the big families with strong financial resources together and let them bid for it. It can be done in an hour."
"Yes." Qi Yoyo nodded and said, "Just leave all the power to the elder of the Qin family. Try not to show up yourself to avoid unnecessary trouble."
Qi Yoyo still couldn't help but worry that Zhang Xiaopou's incredible ability would bring disaster to him.
"Okay." Zhang Xiaozu nodded in agreement, but that's what he originally thought.
In the shed far away, Qin Xinru was stunned when she saw Zhang Xiaozhu and Qi Yoyo sitting side by side without any hesitation, biting their ears and chatting intimately. The relationship obviously exceeded the limit of friends. .
She found it extremely unbelievable that Qi Yoyo, a proud daughter who stood high in the clouds, would actually fall in love with Zhang Xiaozu, a village man in the mountains. This was simply the most ridiculous thing in the world.
Then she stayed there, and suddenly realized that her wariness and hostility towards Qi Yoyo was entirely due to her own passion, and they did not take a fancy to her conspiracy at all. So is it unnecessary for Su Mou to compete in the ring?
"Brother Li, Miss Qi seems to have a good relationship with Zhang Xiaopou?" Su Mou asked Li Haotian pretending to be nonchalant, his eyes gloomy but still with a smile on his face.
"The two have shared life and death many times and have a deep relationship." Li Haotian responded with a smile.
There was a glimmer of jealousy in the depths of Su Mou's eyes, and then he asked: "I can see that Brother Li has a good relationship with Miss Qi, and he must have a good relationship with Zhang Xiaopou as well."
He wanted to get information about Zhang Xiaozu from Li Haotian, but he found the wrong person.
