The person who came was none other than swordsman Li Qi.
The main reason why Li Qi appeared here was because Lu Ran told him that if he had a chance, he could go to West Street to see the kid named Xia Chengyi.
Seeing the real owner at this moment, Li Qi suddenly asked for no reason, "Are you Xia Chengyi?"
Xia Chengyi also saw the shadow clearly and realized that it was the man asking for directions that he met earlier, who appeared in front of his house for some reason.
He took a step forward and walked in front of Zhong Quan and Xia Yao. He looked at Li Qi and said, "Are you looking for me?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "Of course, someone has been asking me to come and see you. I happened to pass by here today and came over to take a look."
Xia Chengyi asked tentatively: "Do you know Mr. Lu?"
Li Qi nodded and said: "Of course I know you. By the way, my name is Li Hua. You can call me Li Qi."
In fact, Li Qi's real name was Li Hua. He was called Li Qiquan because he was the seventh among the great swordsmen in Mingjianguan, so he got the nickname Li Qi, and he continued to use this title outside the country. Everyone knows the swordsman Li Qi, but they don't know Li Hua's name.
Xia Chengyi was relieved. Now that there were many outsiders in the town, he had to be cautious every step of the way.
Li Qi pointed at the locked door and asked with a smile: "Why don't you invite me to your home to sit down? Boy, I'm not bragging. There are not more than ten people in the world who can invite me. You are lucky today." "
Zhong Quan curled his lips.
Xia Chengyi asked Xia Yao with his eyes. Seeing that the latter looked natural and not panicked at all, he raised his head and agreed, "Okay."
Li Qixi took off the gourd and was about to raise his head to drink wine. He suddenly stopped what he was doing, turned around and handed out the gourd, and asked with a smile: "Which one of you wants to take a sip? This is a fine wine. It is better to enjoy it alone than to enjoy it together." Le, would you like to have a bite?"
Xia Chengyi shook his head, "I don't drink."
Li Qi shook his head, with regret on his face, "It turns out that I'm not a sweetheart. It's a pity that I can't taste this fine wine. Hey, it seems that I can enjoy it alone."
Zhong Quan on the side looked a little hesitant and asked tentatively: "How about... give me a sip?"
"good!"
Li Qi threw the wine gourd in his hand to Zhong Quan.
Zhong Quan quickly caught the gourd thrown at him, raised his head and took a sip. The strong wine went into his throat. Within a moment, Zhong Quan suddenly felt a burning sensation in his throat, and then he coughed violently, choking to tears.
Zhong Quan quickly threw the wine gourd back, coughing and complaining: "Don't let me drink anymore. How can anyone put down such a terrible drink?"
Li Qi laughed, took a sip of wine to warm up, and said, "You will know the benefits of wine when you drink too much in the future."
Zhong Quan calmed down slightly from the strong drink just now, but his face was still pale. After hearing Li Qi's words, he quickly shook his head and said: "No, no, I won't drink in the future, and I will never drink again in this life." A sip of wine.”
Li Qi shook his head with a smile and said regretfully: "Wine is like life, I don't know the taste. It's a pity, it's a pity."
Zhong Quan rolled his eyes.
Xia Yao was still hiding behind Xia Chengyi, looking nervous, holding the corner of Xia Chengyi's clothes tightly in her hands. For some reason, she looked particularly nervous after seeing Li Qi, especially when she saw the green bamboo sword behind him. After that, the strength in the hand became a little stronger.
Li Qi suddenly patted his head, "I forgot to mention it, Xia Chengyi, please pay me back the fifty taels you owe me first."
If this little Heitan hadn't pointed out the way for him, he wouldn't have lost fifty taels of silver for no reason. That was a full fifty taels of silver, which would have allowed him to drink several pots of Qionghua brew, a specialty of the capital. Unexpectedly, he was charged fifty taels of silver for ordering a pot of so-called Tianxiang wine in the black heart building. Every time he thought of this, Li Qi felt sad and sighed. Now that he saw the culprit, he naturally needed to ask him for his lost money. of silver.
Xia Chengyi was confused.
Li Qi put down the gourd and said to Xia Chengyi: "It was because of you giving random directions that I was severely ripped off by that black-hearted restaurant. This debt must be borne by you."
Xia Chengyi looked confused, this was nothing. Then he suddenly remembered that Li Qi had asked him if there were any restaurants near the town. At that time, Xia Chengyi didn't think much about it and pointed him in the direction of the most famous Tianxiang Restaurant in the town.
Xia Chengyi asked back: "Which Tianxianglou restaurant did you go to drink at?"
Li Qi laughed angrily and said: "What else? I didn't expect that the restaurant's heart was not so dark. It only cost fifty taels of wine for a bottle of 2 taels of wine. Tell me where can I go to reason with you?" "
Xia Chengyi was speechless for a moment. He didn't expect that restaurant to slaughter outsiders like this. He had heard from neighbors earlier that Xianglou was a black shop that day and had tricked many people. However, even so, it still stood. No. Many people guessed that Tianxiang Tower was backed by the three major surnames in the town, so it was possible for him to be so domineering and domineering.
Li Qi stepped through the gate and saw the deck chair in the yard lying on it comfortably. He waved his hand and said, "That's all, you can't afford fifty taels of silver looking like this, so I don't want it either. "
Xia Chengyi and the other three also followed into the courtyard. Xia Chengyi also noticed Xia Yao's nervousness, patted her on the head and said softly: "Go back to the house first."
Xia Yao nodded and ran back to the house.
Zhong Quan circled the yard and searched for a long time without seeing Xia Qingfeng. He was a little puzzled and muttered: "That's weird, why is that short winter melon missing?"
Xia Chengyi turned around and said, "Qingfeng went out for something. He left me a letter before leaving. I won't be back for a while."
Zhong Quan said "Oh" and then there was no movement. He sat aside and kept glancing at Li Qi who seemed to be asleep on the recliner.
In fact, Xia Qingfeng returned to Qingfeng Sword. He told Xia Chengyi that he needed to sleep for a while in the past few days, so he might not be able to contact him during this period. He also asked the master to shrink his head and do things in recent days, so as to try to get back to him. Don't cause any big trouble before you come back.
Xia Chengyi put down the basket and sat opposite Li Qi.
Li Qi raised his eyes and glanced at Xia Chengyi, then closed his eyes again, his nose quivering, as if he really fell asleep.
Xia Chengyi and Zhong Quan sat next to Li Qi, one on the left and one on the right, like two door gods. Xia Chengyi was a patient person. Seeing that there was nothing to do at the moment, he silently practiced the sword rules and stances in his mind.
Zhong Quan had a temper that couldn't sit still. After sitting for a while, his butt felt like it was on fire. He looked around and saw old man Xia Chengyi closing his eyes to rest. Li Qi even snored. Now Zhong Quan couldn't sit still. , stood up suddenly, and whispered to Xia Chengyi: "Hey, Xia Chengyi, how long do we have to wait? And I don't think this person is a serious person, he can't be a charlatan."
Zhong Quan is now particularly sensitive to so-called charlatans. He has been exposed twice before, and now a sword cultivator who is similar to Jiang Sheng appears, so he will naturally become suspicious of him.
Xia Chengyi came back to his senses, glanced at Li Qi who was still sleeping, shook his head and said, "It's okay, there's no harm in waiting."
Li Qi closed his eyes and said: "The main reason I came here is to tell you that I will escort you for a part of the journey. As for how far the journey is, it depends on your personal destiny."
Xia Chengyi and Zhong Quan were both stunned, not understanding what Li Qi meant.
Xia Chengyi asked curiously: "What do you mean by escort?"
Li Qi opened his eyes.
Xia Chengyi and Zhong Quan felt a bit of cold air for a moment, and it was overwhelming, and then it passed away.
Li Qi said leisurely: "You will naturally know later. It is inconvenient to tell you more now."
Zhong Quan curled his lips and said, "Pretend to be a ghost."
Li Qi glanced sideways at Zhong Quan, then smiled and took out the wine gourd, pretending to throw it to him, "Would you like to drink a little more?"
Zhong Quan quickly took a step back.
Xia Chengyi was about to speak but stopped.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Li Qi must be an extraordinary person, and Xia Chengyi is not a fool. He knows that there is nothing worthy of Li Qigao's look at him, so when Li Qi said what he meant, Xia Chengyi immediately thought of it. Came here under the entrustment of Lu Ran.
Li Qi lazily took a sip of wine, "I know what you want to ask, but don't worry about who it is, and you don't have to be suspicious. I won't attack a young man like you."
No matter how good the wine is, it will taste dull if you drink too much. Li Qi misses the days when he secretly thanked the madman for his wine.
Zhong Quan listened as if he was lost in the clouds, "What are you talking about? I can't understand a word of it."
Li Qiyi sat up and said with a smile, "I think we are quite compatible. How about having a few drinks with me? I promise to beat the living gods in one sip."
Zhong Quan quickly shook his head, "No, no, you'd better drink alone."
Li Qi stood up, dusted himself off, turned around and patted Xia Chengyi on the shoulder: "It's not a good thing to have a sad face at a young age. Smile more."
Li Qi turned to look at Zhong Quan and grinned, "If you want to drink in the future, you can come to me at any time. Just tell me my name when you get to Mingjian Pass."
After saying that, he swaggered out of the door, but he almost stumbled and fell as soon as he stepped out. He quickly pretended to take out the green bamboo sword that looked like a flower stand to resist his body.
Xia Chengyi and Zhong Quan both stuck their heads out, "Are you okay?"
Li Qi waved his hand, "What can happen? You guys go and do what you are supposed to do."
