Qin Jingru didn't have much disgust with the person in front of him, so he nodded and agreed to his invitation and said:
"Then I'll ask you, sir, to lead the way."
"It's no trouble, no trouble. It's really an honor for my family to be able to honor you as guests."
"please."
Gao Lei led the way at the front, and the three of them followed him slowly at a distance of five or six meters behind him. Qin Yue suddenly said to Qin Feng:
"Qin Feng, go and chat with Gao Lei for a while."
"Okay." The innocent Qin Feng didn't think much and jumped close to Gao Lei. He was not wary of Gao Lei at all, and he was shocked as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Brother Gao, you can have a battle with me when you get home."
Qin Yue originally wanted to ask Jing Ru, but after hearing Qin Feng's words, he swallowed what he wanted to say.
Qin Jingru knew his doubts and whispered: "Don't be too hasty, he may have a problem, but you can observe it first. If he saw what you just did, it would be difficult to explain!"
It turns out that when Qin Yue first heard that Jing Ru agreed to go to Gao Lei's house, he was very anxious and quickly told Jing Ru not to go.
"You dare to go there rashly even if you are not sure. You must know that we don't even have weapons to defend ourselves now. If something happens, we don't even have the ability to protect ourselves."
"You can't be sure that he will have evil intentions, right? If he is sincere, wouldn't it be easier to do things in the future?"
"What about Qin Xi and Qin Zhuo?"
"We can only let them wait. According to Qin Ji's character, he will definitely fill his stomach before going."
Sure enough, after Qin Zhi returned to the hotel, he packed his things, argued with the shopkeeper for a long time, and finally got back twenty points of energy forging stones. Seeing that it was already noon, the lunch bell in his stomach rang on time. He took Qin Zhuo to buy some food at the hotel.
Gao Lei quickly brought the three of them to their destination. At this time, an old man was already standing at the door. Seeing Gao Lei, he hurried to his side and said to him:
"Young Master, something has happened. I need to see you urgently."
Gao Lei nodded in response and said, "Well, I brought three friends who are willing to help this time. I must treat them well."
"Yes, I will do it now." He
Gao Lei also said to the three of them: "I'm sorry everyone, I need to deal with some things now. I can't eat with you in person for the time being, so I will let my Haodun guards lead some activities." After saying that, he hurried in. There was no trace in the house.
Halton Guard kindly said to the three of them: "You three, please come with me."
Following the shield guards, the three of them first saw the apple tree planted in the center of the courtyard. At this time, it had already produced several fruits, and it had already produced several bright red fruits.
The courtyard is relatively narrow, and the lush leaves alone cover most of it. The shield guard led the three people to the reception room, and after they took their seats, they left immediately.
Qin Yue suddenly stopped Haodunwei and asked, "I want to go to the toilet, can you take me there?"
"It was my negligence, I didn't bring a few people to familiarize myself with the courtyard of the house, this... businessman." Since Gao Lei didn't tell him the names of the three of them, Haodunwei couldn't think of how to call them.
"Oh, I'm Jing Yue, that's my master Jing Ru, the boy is Jing Feng."
"Then merchant Jing, please come with me."
Go back to the yard and go through the corridor next to it, which is a larger side yard. There is a static pool with clothes hanging next to it and several screens. The sunlight reflects the things behind on the screens - three stations. Figures together.
The strange thing is that Qin Yue is not far from them, but he can't hear them communicating.
"Jing merchant, this is the hut."
As expected of a large household, the huts were built with high-quality materials. After Qin Yue entered the house, he said to Haodunwei:
"No need to wait outside, I already know how to get out."
Halton Guard didn't think much and said: "Then I will leave first to arrange a banquet for you. Please take a seat as soon as it is convenient for you."
Qin Feng, who stayed in the living room, was thinking about competing with the new friends he had just met. As he was sitting, he didn't care where he was. He got up and walked out, leaving only one sentence for Jing Ru:
"Sister Jingru, I'm going to the hut too."
Jingru, who heard the problem, also wanted to go out, which accelerated Qin Feng's pace. He felt that Jingru and Qin Yue were not friendly to Gao Lei, so naturally he couldn't tell her directly.
As soon as he went out, he ran into the Halo Shield Guard who had returned. He asked kindly: "May I ask what your orders are to the young boy?"
Qin Feng said bluntly: "I want to find Brother Gao Lei."
Halton Guard put away his smiling face and said regretfully: "My young master is busy with something, please wait in the room for a while."
"Well, then I also need to go to the toilet."
Haodunwei had no choice but to call another servant to take Qin Feng to the toilet.
Qin Jingru saw Qin Feng also going out, and immediately became nervous. Although he wanted to come to see it first, he was still not sure whether Gao Fu could trust him. Now that the three of them were scattered, they seemed to be afraid of being attacked. What happened? She sat at the very back of the living room. Behind the window was the passage connecting the small courtyard and the large courtyard. Suddenly, slow footsteps came from outside the door, which made Jing Ru feel extremely nervous. Moreover, this footsteps The sound stopped when it reached the door.
He subconsciously held the chair next to him with his hands, and began to gather water energy. He stared at the door, ready to throw the chair out at any time.
"Xiao Feng, where have you been?"
When he remembered this familiar voice, he breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, it was Qin Yue who walked in.
"I'm going to find my brother."
And Gao Lei actually entered the door with Qin Feng. His expression looked very complicated, as if he was covering up his painful expression with a smile.
Seeing the empty table, Gao Lei asked, "Why hasn't the food been served yet?"
Halton Guard hurriedly explained: "Seeing that the young master hasn't come back yet, I asked the kitchen not to serve food for the time being."
"What are you talking about? It's these merchants who are hosting the banquet, not me. Why don't you serve it quickly?"
"Yes, I will do it now."
Gao Lei bowed down and apologized to the three of them: "I'm really sorry for keeping you waiting for so long."
"No, no, I just finished cooking and the food is already ready. It's so fast." After Qin Yue finished speaking, he gave a symbolic thumbs up.
Gao Lei understood what he meant, but did not respond. Instead, he said to the Halton Guard who had just returned, "Get another bottle of good wine."
Silence ensued. The three of them saw that Gao Lei didn't speak, and even Qin Feng didn't say much. This state continued until the Haodun guard brought a bottle of wine, and Gao Lei said: "Actually, all of them are..." Pretend to be a businessman."
As soon as these words came out, the three people of the Qin family were instantly shocked. Qin Jingru immediately returned to the previous state, and his hands slowly moved toward the chair legs.
Qin Yue became even more vigilant. Recalling the figures he saw behind the screen just now, one of them looked very much like Gao Lei. Obviously, they were planning to kill himself Jingru and Qin Feng quietly.
But how did they find out?
Qin Jingru and Qin Yue both thought of one person, and they looked at Qin Feng at the same time. It was very likely that the news was revealed by Qin Feng and Gao Lei during their chat just now, and was noticed by Gao Lei.
But Qin Feng had a curious expression on his face at this time, scratching his head with his hands, completely unaware that there were a pair of eyes on the left and right that wanted to kill him.
Qin Feng felt that he had not revealed anything about their origins. As for how Gao Lei found out, he might have guessed by himself. Little did they know that the first words he said to Gao Guo - to fight Gao Guo, already made people suspicious.
Qin Yue pretended to be calm and asked: "Why do you think we are not businessmen?"
Gao Lei replied: "I actually have something to ask for, or in other words, the Gao family has a request for you. As for the specific matter, my father, Gao Pei, will describe it."
After saying that, a white-haired man slowly walked into the door. His face looked like a normal adult, but his movements were so slow. He was wearing black silk with a jade pendant hanging around his waist. He must have belonged to a family. The Lord.
As soon as the old man entered the door, his eyes fell on Qin Jingru. Qin Yue felt that this person had some intentions.
And Jing Ru only thought that the old man looked vaguely familiar, but could not think of who it was.
After the old man took his seat, Qin Yue asked, "I wonder if there is anything in Gaofu that needs our merchants' help."
But the high-ranking official said: "There are two more people traveling with you. I wonder if I can send someone to bring them back, and we can discuss it together later."
Hearing these words, Qin Jingru suddenly remembered a person. That person was an official promoted by her. She recognized that person very much and helped her handle too many things when she was the city lord. .
While Qin Yue was still on guard, Jing Ru took out something, wrapped it in a piece of cloth, and said to Gao Pei: "Okay, take this thing, they will follow you after seeing it."
The high-ranking concubine handed the things over to his servants and said to Qin Jingru: "As soon as you arrived at Fengya City, you asked people to wait at the west wall of the city lord's mansion. In fact, you must have planned it in advance."
Qin Yue said anxiously: "You have been sending people to follow us, so why do you suddenly want to bring us back to the house?"
Gao Guo said: "Originally, we also thought about observing you for a while, but things suddenly progressed, so we used a strategy to bring you to the house. Please forgive me. The food on this table is non-toxic and pollution-free. Feel free to eat.”
"You want to save those businessmen."
The sun at noon was particularly dazzling, and at this time, Qin Ji and Qin Zhuo were already waiting outside the west wall of the city lord's mansion, taking a sip of the water they had just exchanged with ten points of energy, and complained: "Damn it, Juru, must know that Xi There are no trees on the wall, and it is far away from the building. Alas, you will suffer with me."
Seeing that Qin Zhuo remained silent, he said kindly, "Do you miss your father? The princess will definitely be able to track down the real culprit." Seeing that Qin Zhuo still didn't speak, Qin Shi didn't bother him anymore.
Not long after, a carriage drove down the deserted street. This was a common thing, but in Fengya City it easily aroused the curiosity of the people. The closed doors and windows were opened one by one, and they did not Instead of closing it directly again, he watched the carriage's movements.
Qin Ji looked at the carriage warily and whispered to Qin Zhuo: "Xiao Zhuo, get your weapons, it may be here to cause trouble for us."
The carriage slowly approached, and the sweat on Qin's palm made it difficult for him to hold the hammer tightly. The two of them slowly stood up and stared at the carriage.
After the carriage stopped in front of the two of them, the two were even more ready to fight.
But no one got out of the carriage. Instead, the coachman said: "My master invites you two to be guests at my house." After speaking, he handed over a cloth bag with a jade talisman on it with the word "高" engraved on it.
"Gaofu? My friend is a guest at the house?"
"There are indeed three down-and-out businessmen visiting the house."
Qin Ji, who was dubious, opened the cloth bag and found that it was the prince's order from Qin County.
Seeing this thing that shouldn't have appeared here, Qin Shi thought of something and said to Qin Zhuo, "Let's go."
