The group of people traveled over mountains and ridges, and arrived at a small town called "Xuyang" before the darkness broke. They found an inn to rest for the night and set off again the next morning. It was a remote place with difficult mountain roads and few business trips. The inn was empty except for their business. The boss huddled listlessly behind the counter, and the waiter lazily came up to greet him without having a full meal.
Everyone ordered beef and soup cakes and ate some to satisfy their hunger. The meat is yellow beef, which is thick, old, and tasteless. The soup cake is half-cooked, and the core in the middle is so hard that it cannot be chewed for a long time. Xia Qian has always been quite picky about food. Although she was hungry, she frowned and took a bite before putting down her chopsticks.
Xia Yun advised her: "If you don't eat enough, you won't have the energy to travel!"
Xia Qian flatly said, "I would rather go hungry to eat this kind of food!"
Bai Qi secretly sighed. Although the food was coarse and unappetizing, she still forced herself to eat more. The journey was long and she had to sleep in the open air. If she missed this meal, she might not have another meal. Wu Tong, Yi Lian and others were all veterans of the martial arts world. They were so hungry that they couldn't think of distinguishing the taste.
Xia Qian was bored and looked around with her cheeks in her hands. She happened to see the sheep guard asking the waiter for a few cloves of raw garlic, peeled off the skin, and ate it with the soup cake. It was very sweet. She frowned, looked back at Bai Qi, suddenly had a naughty idea, and couldn't help but laugh.
The sky was pitch black, the wind was blowing through the forest, the mountains were roaring and the tsunami was roaring, like a hundred ghosts having a night banquet.
Everyone barely filled their stomachs and went to the guest rooms to rest. There are five upper rooms in the inn, and Gu Boyang has booked them all. The young gang leader Xia Yun has one room, Yang Hu has one room, Wu Tong has one room, Yi Lian and He Yanzi have one room, Xia Qian and Bai Qi have one room, and he himself Stay downstairs and find a woodshed to take a nap.
This arrangement was very appropriate, but Xia Qian forced Bai Qi out on the pretext that she was not used to living with others.
Bai Qi was helpless. She knew Xia Qian's intention, so she had to wait for everyone to go to sleep, then tiptoe to the sheep guard room, peck a few times with her fingers, and push it tentatively, and the door opened. Under the dim candlelight, Yang Hu sat at the table and looked at himself quietly.
"Mr. Yang... you haven't stopped yet?" Bai Qi was a little at a loss. She felt that Yang Hu's gaze was like a sharp blade, piercing deep into her heart. She couldn't hide her secrets in front of him!
Wei Shiqi picked up the rough porcelain teapot, poured two cups of tea, and said, "Sit down. Guests come to drink tea on a cold night. I have been guessing just now whether it will be Xia Yun or Xia Qian, but I didn't expect it to be you." .”
Speaking of this, Bai Qi had no choice but to confess honestly: "Mr. Yang, I am not the steward of Fengwei Tower, Huang Qi is."
"I know."
Bai Qi played with her belt, secretly worried in her heart, not knowing how to speak. The young gang leader clearly told her to be honest and tell the truth, but she was afraid that if she said the wrong thing, she would make the other party look down on her. She didn't know when she started to care about Yang Hu's opinion and was thinking about his thoughts.
"I concealed my true identity before, so now I can tell the truth. If you are not the shepherd of Fengweilou, who are you?" Wei Shiqi picked up the chipped ceramic tea cup and took a sip of tea. The taste was very poor, but He doesn't care.
Bai Kou said anxiously: "...I am a member of the Tianlong Gang. My parents worked in the Yunmen Hall of the General Duo. There was a gang fight and I died unexpectedly. The old gang leader Xia adopted me and asked me to serve the young lady and take care of her daily life. Young lady. When I was seven years old, the old gang leader wanted to promote me and asked me to work under the master of Yunmen Hall, where I learned some self-defense skills. This time, the young gang leader asked me to accompany him because he wanted to get a feel for Mr. Sheep. He had no bad intentions."
Wei Shiqi laughed dumbly. Such a beautiful girl, in her prime, with a charming singing voice, was brought into the room clean and clean. What bad intentions could she have? The taste of the meat in her mouth was the most important thing. Who would care about her origins! He patted Bai Kou on the shoulder and asked a few questions about the old affairs of the Tianlong Gang. It was not a secret. Bai Kou answered them one by one without thinking.
The Tianlong Gang is known as the "biggest gang in the south of the Yangtze River". The general helm is located in Tongling. The old gang leader Xia Quji is in charge. The man is so loyal that he manages the rudder like an iron bucket without leaking water. In addition to the Tongling general helmsman, the Tianlong Gang successively opened up four sub-rudders in Changzhou, Jinkou, Hepu and Xingchuan. These young gang leaders were old and frail, and gradually handed over the affairs of the gang to the younger gang leaders. The Changzhou branch helmsman Wu Tong is the confidant of the young gang leader, Jinkou branch leader Hou Jinbiao has an unclear attitude, Hepu branch leader Ding Shen only listens to the old gang leader, Xingchuan branch leader Zhao Yanzhi has evil intentions, Tianlong gang seems to be prosperous, but in fact there is an undercurrent .
Bai Kou is still young and naturally does not have such knowledge. These words were all mentioned by Du Yu, the leader of Yunmen Hall, during a casual conversation. Du Ya was very fond of Bai Kou. In addition to practicing martial arts, he also taught her to sing and play the pipa. He said that a young and beautiful woman is favored for a while, but it will never last. Those who treat others with sex will lose their lust and love will be relaxed, and love will be harsh. If you learn some skills, you will have someone to rely on in the future, and you can relieve your worries and relieve boredom in your spare time.
This Hall Master Du is a smart woman. She has to go through many things before she can think so thoroughly. Bai Kou's qualifications are mediocre and her kung fu is very basic. At best, she only strengthens her body. Du Yu should have noticed this earlier and followed her. Said these. Wei Shiqi praised her: "Well, you learned very well. You play the pipa well and sing the music beautifully, although I don't understand it very well."
Bai Qi felt happy and asked tentatively: "Mr. Yang, when did you become suspicious of me?"
Wei Shiqi said casually: "Let's get started."
Bai Qi was stunned for a moment. She was very confident in her role as the shepherd of Fengwei Tower. She had learned and practiced all the techniques, but she didn't fail in any of them. Yang Hu couldn't even understand the music, so he wouldn't notice any flaws. right. She was a little unconvinced and asked tentatively: "What's wrong with me?"
Wei Shiqi said: "You have practiced kung fu, and your blood energy is stronger than ordinary people. Standing next to Huang Qi, the difference is obvious."
Bai Qi was confused when he heard this. Can he still tell that he has strong blood energy? Is it shiny black hair or shiny skin? Huang Qi is a famous person in Fengwei Tower. Her appearance and posture are one of a kind, gentle and charming. I feel pity for her. How can there be any obvious difference? But she heard that Yang Hu didn't want to talk in depth, so she obediently shut her mouth.
"Was Xia Qian very naughty when she was a child?" Wei Shiqi walked to the window and gently opened it. The cool breeze blew into the house, mixed with the scent of the mountains and forests.
Bai Kou said subconsciously: "The old gang leader said that she is eccentric, has many strange ideas, likes to play pranks, and makes people laugh."
"For example, wouldn't it be tiring to squat outside the window and listen to the corner?"
Bai Qi suddenly realized it, stood up and walked to Wei Shiqi's side, stuck his head out, saw Xia Qian's figure passing by, and laughed happily. Mr. Sheep had noticed her a long time ago and was deliberately rambling and saying things that didn't make sense. The lady probably squatted until her legs were numb, and she didn't know what she was muttering in her stomach.
"As she wishes, you stay and don't leave." Wei Shiqi closed the window and stretched out his hand to pull her into his arms. There was a smell of garlic in his mouth when he spoke. Bai Qi's heart trembled, not knowing whether he was happy or worried.
