"I heard that the young master likes tea. This is the Yuqian Longjing tea purchased from Suhu. This year's new tea is new. Please give it a try, sir."
Bai Xiaofeng picked up the teapot just served and poured a cup for Huo Ziheng with his own hands.
The two of them had moved to the coffee table on one side of the private room and sat down. At the dining table next to the window, A-Xian was still enjoying her meal, eating very grandly.
Huo Ziheng picked up the tea cup and thanked him, "Wangque Tower is famous for collecting intelligence, and its fame has attracted many powerful people to recruit them. Why I and Zhuo Jing are here must not be hidden from the owner of Bailou."
After taking a sip of tea, Huo Ziheng raised his eyes and looked at the lazy man opposite who was waving his folding fan gently. "Huo is very grateful and ashamed to receive the host's hospitality for the first time here."
Bai Xiaofeng raised her lips, her eyes were dark and half-smiling, "Master Huo, please don't belittle yourself. With your talents, if you are willing to come to me to watch the magpie tower, I, Bai Xiaofeng, will treat you as a distinguished guest."
"There are hundreds of building owners in charge of Wangque Tower. Even if Huo comes, he can only show his humiliation in front of the seat. When the Huo family retired, they had already stated that they would no longer participate in the power disputes in the world. Since Huo is a descendant of the Huo family, he does not dare to violate it. Ancestral aspiration." Huo Ziheng paused slightly, then smiled wryly and laughed at himself, "The forces of various countries are still secretly searching for my traces. The world is so big, but Huo has nowhere to live in the outside world. He only thinks that he might be able to find a corner in the place of exile. I spent a year or two with my wife well before she died from the poison. Mr. Huo is so shameless, please do it, and I hope you can forgive me."
Bai Xiaofeng didn't answer immediately, his snake eyes were half-closed with an unpredictable expression. After a while, he said, "Master Huo is a weak scholar, but he is very courageous. It is known to the whole world that the Yongzhou exile is a place for evil people. The situation in the exile is The city is full of cannibalism. Bai thought that the young master dared to come because he had already planned to seek shelter on the mountain, but you had no such plan? Aren't you afraid of Bai's anger and letting you and your wife be buried here today? "
"Huo really has no intention of seeking refuge on the mountain, so to Lord Bai, although I am useless, I do not pose a threat. I believe that Lord Bai will not waste his energy arguing with a dying ant. Moreover, Lord Bai does not care about it in his eyes. You have no ambition to disturb the situation. You recruited me just because you don't want me to be used by the other two forces. If you don't have such worries, it doesn't matter whether Huo Ziheng is in Wangque Tower or not."
Bai Xiaofeng looked at the man facing him for a long time, holding back a slight cough from time to time, with a pale face, and said, "I, Bai Xiaofeng, never force others to do anything. Mr. Huo, we have a long way to go. If you don't want to do it today, it doesn't mean that you won't do it tomorrow." Young Master has figured it out, you can come to my Magpie Tower at any time, and Bai will open the door to welcome you."
Huo Ziheng raised his cup and replaced the wine with tea, and said seriously, "Thank you very much, Lord Bailou."
A-Xian had eaten enough, and her man had just finished talking to the landlord.
The guard who brought them to Wangque Tower personally sent them out of Wangque Tower, and at her request, packed up the uneaten Babao duck on the table for her.
"You didn't eat much just now. You were busy talking. Let's go out of the city later and find a quiet place to sit down and eat duck! I just tasted this duck. It tastes really good. The chefs in big restaurants have different skills. They are better than me." The cooking is delicious." After leaving Wangque Tower, the chaos on the street reappeared in front of us. This time A-Xian was not so afraid, and followed the man with the eight-treasure duck that was no longer warm, "Smelly man, I Wouldn’t it be embarrassing for you to take it with you after you finish eating like this?”
"No, food is the most important thing for the people. How can we be embarrassed if we are hungry or full?" The man said calmly, "It was you who spoke first, otherwise I would also ask to pack some food. Next time there is such an occasion, eat Sit down when you are full, and let your husband do the packing."
"..." A-Xian turned away, and after a moment her eyebrows curved, with a sweet smile on her face, "Okay!"
…
Watch the Magpie Tower.
Bai Xiaofeng returned to the living room on the third floor.
Light incense was lit in the room, and the sound of a musical instrument could be heard.
Tingfeng sent the people back and stood next to the guqin, "Master, are you just going to let them go like this?"
"If you don't let him go, do you want to kill him? He has not offended me." Bai Xiaofeng's fair and slender fingertips were stroking the strings, and her expressions were flowing smoothly. There was no sign of happiness or anger when her eyebrows were lowered, "Besides, he really wanted to kill me." , and they couldn't be killed. Bai Kui and the bearded man were crouching outside the window. I took action, and they turned around and rescued them... Humph, didn't I give them the opportunity to do favors to them and push Huo Ziheng towards them? Huo Ziheng It was only after I had calculated all my thoughts and the situation in the city that I dared to board my carriage at Wangque Tower."
"But since Huo Ziheng has come to the place of exile, Bai Kui and Big Beard will definitely find a way to recruit him. The host is willing to let him go, but they may not be so easy to talk to." After realizing Huo Ziheng's ability, Ting Feng became even more worried.
Not to mention Bai Kui, the bearded man is the smallest person. If he imprisons Huo Ziheng, Huo Ziheng will have to be used by him in order to survive, right?
Bai Xiaofeng's voice was light and harmonious with the melodious sound of the piano, "Huo Ziheng will not be used by anyone. He was already measured when he entered the place of exile."
The three major powers in the Exiled Lands each have their own strengths and abilities.
In terms of force, Huo Ziheng was not worth mentioning in front of them.
But in terms of planning, the three of them combined were no match for Huo Ziheng.
Huo is the best at looking into people's hearts.
It is precisely because there are three forces standing in the Exile Land and there are constraints on each other that Huo Ziheng can stay safe and sound in the cracks between the forces.
No one wants to be used by others, so they will hinder each other.
And everyone wants to recruit him, so they will rack their brains to give favors...
But if Huo Ziheng submits to one of them, his death will come.
Therefore, he will not be used by anyone.
For a while, only incense and music were heard in the room.
Tingfeng bowed and exited the room. When he closed the door, he seemed to hear the owner of the building say, "The whole family will be buried in the fire... tsk..."
Those words were spoken too softly, and Tingfeng couldn't hear them clearly. When he tried to listen carefully again, the voice in the room had been broken into pieces without a trace.
At that time, Huo Ziheng and A-Xian had already walked out of Fengyun City. They sat down casually on the roadside outside the city and slowly finished the packed eight-treasure duck.
"Smelly man, where is the best place for us to stay?" A-Xian was completely unfamiliar with this place and was used to asking men for advice when she was confused.
He always puts her at ease.
"The city is too noisy. If you want to be quieter, how about we choose a place to live outside the city?"
"Live outside the city? Okay, but let me tell you again, I really don't know how to farm."
"No need to farm." The man smiled.
"Then how are we going to live? Are we going to rest on our laurels?" Ah Xian was a little confused.
It wasn't that she was reluctant to touch the money, but she had a lot of money in her hands. She had to work hard to treat the man, and she couldn't just rest on her laurels.
"Don't worry." The man gently scratched the side of her face with his fingers, "We always have a way to survive, I'll figure it out."
There is a Qinghe River outside Fengyun City, and there is Tubei Mountain beside the Qinghe River.
A few days later, there was a new family at the foot of the silent Tubei Mountain, and a couple lived there.
On weekdays, he lives in seclusion and only has light meals and tea. In his free time, he eats melon seeds and watches the sunset.
