But it was so dangerous, and he really guessed it right. Just now I saw that he was not in his right mind, looking at a place in the distance in a daze. He guessed that at his age, he was either worried about his future or longing for his beauty.
If they all guessed wrong, the worst he could do was make another nonsense. Anyway, his purpose was just to look at his handprints and guess what his job was.
"You're wrong."
Master Li withdrew his hand and said indifferently, but Fu Rong saw him pick up the wine glass and put it to his lips, but he didn't take a sip for a long time.
"Well, just think that I'm wrong, but I also saw some things about the young master's love journey. Since you don't believe it and it's useless to say more, then I won't meddle in your own business."
Master Li remained calm and silent, but did not take the bait as Fu Rong thought.
For a moment, Fu Rong couldn't understand what he was thinking.
In the middle of the night, Brother Sang saw that Fu Rong and Master Li were not sleeping, so he stayed with him to watch the New Year's Eve. After adding firewood to the brazier, he planned to go to the kitchen to steam some cakes and serve them, so that they would not feel hungry.
Master Li usually only has a small drink, but tonight he was pestered by Doctor Fu, so he could not help but drink too much.
In particular, this Tusu wine was stronger than fruit wine. He felt a little drowsy, so he took a nap.
Fu Rong was a good player in various situations. He was not drunk after a thousand cups. When he saw that Master Li was finally brought down, he stood up carefully.
"Master Li?"
"Are you drunk?"
"How about I help you go back to your room to rest?"
He called the other person several times and tentatively stretched out his hand, but Master Li never responded.
Fu Rong narrowed his eyes, and when he was about to touch his muscles and bones, a sharp energy flashed across his face in the next moment.
There was no blood, just because it was covered with a layer of fake skin. Fu Rong couldn't avoid it. He stroked the wound with the back of his hand and secretly told the other person that he was alert and cunning.
what is this?
Lure the snake out of its hole, or use it to its advantage?
Master Li put down his hand, and the velvet of his moon-white robe was swaying in the wind. He slowly raised his eyes, but his cold and elegant eyes were sharp: "What are you doing?"
Fu Rong was confused as to what had hurt him just now. He tried his best to suppress his panic and heartbeat: "I was just afraid that you would fall asleep drunk and catch the cold, so I wanted to help you into the house."
"Yeah?"
Master Li stood up, obviously intent on murder, his clothes were flying in the night wind.
As soon as he moved, Fu Rong noticed a small hall, the whole room was covered with thick and thin steel wires. They were like biting snakes and stabbed at Fu Rong. Fu Rong, a three-legged cat, could only rely on avoiding and following the full force of the three-legged cat. Rolling on the ground.
"Are you from Liu Fengmian? He sent you to find out my details, but because he himself has hidden secrets?" Master Li Jiranren stood at the door, blocking the last path for Fu Rong to escape.
Fu Rong grinned. He stared at Master Li, his pupils seemed to split into two halves, spinning continuously, and finally formed an ink color that was so rich that it couldn't be melted away.
The stature, the lines on his palms, the roughness of his fingertips, the contours of his facial features, his accent, his aura and habits... Coupled with the unique skills he was using now, a certain name was already on his lips.
"I know, I finally know who you are!"
"So what? Do you think I would worry about others knowing who I am?" Master Li just gave a faint look, and Fu Rong was nailed to the pillar, bleeding profusely.
——
Snap!
There was a sound of the window pole being smashed, and Brother Sang, who was carrying the pastries, heard that something was wrong and hurried towards the hall.
When he arrived, he only saw Doctor Fu lying on the ground covered in blood, but Master Li had disappeared.
Bang...
The cake in his hand fell to the ground. Brother Sang was frightened and panicked. Dragging his lame leg, he quickly moved to Doctor Fu's side.
"Mr. Fu! Dr. Fu, wake up. How are you?"
Fu Rong didn't wait for him to shout a few times before he opened his eyes with a grin on his face.
"Go, go?"
He got up from the ground with lingering fear, covering a wound in his ribs, and shook his head to the nervous and suspicious Brother Sang: "I'm fine, there's no need to panic."
"You... how can you still stand up after bleeding so much?" Brother Sang was very surprised.
"Oh, some of the blood here is fake, and some is real. If I didn't bleed so much, how could the other party stop?" Fu Rong took out a blood bag from his chest and squeezed it, soaking the red blood in his hand.
Those who work in his profession are particularly hated, so he is not good at anything else, but he is absolutely top-notch in escaping and pretending to be dead.
But this time, it all depended on Brother Sang. He made a noise at the critical moment and attracted Brother Sang. If not, Master Li might have really stabbed him into a sieve.
This Master Li... is really special to the people of the Sang family. With his merciless killing style, it doesn't seem like he would be afraid of the crowd because of the large number of people. At worst, he would kill them all, completely annihilating the evidence and suspicion.
But he chose to leave without hurting the family in the slightest.
Sang Xuanqing... He must be because of Sang Xuanqing. It seems that Sang Xuanqing is really not simple.
Brother Sang looked at the mess and asked him, "What happened here just now?"
Fu Rong's expression suddenly became serious. They had probably all been deceived by Sang Xuanqing. This matter must be reported to the general as soon as possible, and he could not be deceived by Sang Xuanqing.
"I discovered something very important and important, which led to the other party's murderous intention. But fortunately, I survived, so... whatever they wanted to plan was destined to not be realized."
Brother Sang couldn't understand what he was talking about: "...Yes, really?"
"I've been disturbed a lot today." He took out a piece of silver and put it in Brother Sang's hand: "I am responsible for the damage in this hall, and this money will be regarded as compensation. I have something to do, so I will leave first. "
Brother Sang pinched the silver ingot in shock and watched Fu Rong's back quickly disappearing in the night. He turned his head again and looked at the pool of blood on the ground. For some reason, there was always a premonition of uneasiness and anxiety hanging over his heart.
The night became darker and darker, and he had no sleep all night.
——
Zheng Quchi didn't notice anything about the commotion last night.
She was drunk and coaxed Liu Fengmian to fall asleep after filming the nightmare. She was in trouble for half the night, and she was so tired that she didn't know which dream river she was immersed in.
Yu Wensheng had been suffering from insomnia for many years and had been sleepless for a long time. This night, he was coaxed to sleep by Zheng Quchi, and due to the influence of nightmares, he also entered a deep sleep.
When she got up the next day, she saw Brother Sang washing the floor. His eyes were black and blue, and his face was haggard and pale. She felt strange. She even vaguely smelled a faint smell of blood in the air.
"Brother, why are you mopping the floor? Let me do it."
"No, it's almost done. Last night, the doctor and Mr. Li had a conflict for some unknown reason. Not only that, they also spilled the oil I prepared for scalding, leaving oil stains all over the floor and breaking a lot of furniture. ." Brother Sang complained dissatisfied.
Not wanting to scare her, he kept the bloody aspect vague and only told the story of what happened.
"The two of them were fighting? Is Doctor Fu okay?"
It was expected that Doctor Fu would not be able to beat Master Li who was doing craftsman work. One was middle-aged and frail, and the other was in his prime. They were still doing strenuous work. She still didn't believe that Master Li could still be beaten by Doctor Fu.
"He was slightly injured. Master Li beat him and then left. Doctor Fu also left, but he left a piece of silver behind to compensate us."
He handed the silver to Zheng Quchi.
"Why did they have a conflict? Did they drink too much? But Master Li's cool and beautiful appearance doesn't seem like someone who would take the initiative to cause trouble. Could it be that Doctor Fu said or did something to provoke him?"
Zheng Quchi was a little confused, how could such a good person cause such a big disturbance.
"I went to cook. I don't know why they started making trouble. That's all. It's other people's business anyway. Don't worry too much. In the future, avoid interacting with such ignorant people. Go to the kitchen to serve breakfast."
Zheng Quchi nodded: "Brother, after you finish your breakfast, go and take a nap. I'll take Feng Mian, Yaomei and the others out for a walk, so as not to make any noise to you."
"Okay, come back early. I don't care. Let's have lunch together later."
"We'll wait until you wake up. Don't worry about us. Go quickly."
As Zheng Quchi, he only stayed at home with his eldest brother, younger sister, and Liu Fengmian to celebrate the first day of the new year, and then went to exchange identities with "Sang Xuanqing".
Time passed quickly, and she only had one day left. After the vacation, she had to repair the city wall again, but she had already planned it. After the city wall was completed, she would go to the big business of building cars. You can see your family often, and you don't have to live a life of less gathering and more separation.
The future is promising.
She made an excuse to tell Liu Fengmian that she wanted to go to the city. Brother Sang knew what she was going to do, so he cooperated with her to cover it.
As soon as she arrived in the city, she secretly changed into Sang Xuanqing's clothes, darkened her face, and dressed up. She also specially carried a baggage and prepared to go home.
But as soon as he came out of the alley, he didn't take a few steps, but he met Master Li who was waiting there for some time.
Zheng Quchi was startled.
His attire and temperament at the moment were completely different from before. The dew was cold and the water was heavy. He held a paper umbrella, and crystal raindrops rolled down from the tip of his umbrella, falling on the bluestone and soaking the fabric of his dark blue robe. Hem.
The gaze he looked at her flowed like water like moonlight, and it was like beads of jade and ink. It was difficult to divert the eyes after looking at her. It added a bit of tranquility and mistiness, as if he had torn off the layer attached to the surface. His mediocrity restored the bright moonlight that a proud man should have.
"Sang Xuanqing or Zheng Quchi, which one is the real you?" he asked aloud.
Zheng Quchi was unlucky and was caught red-handed. She didn't bother to argue: "How did you find out?"
If she hadn't been suspicious, she wouldn't have come here to follow her, and now she was completely exposed.
Master Li did not hide anything from her: "I already knew that you were a woman. I asked your sister that day. She is young and does not understand people's hearts. Naturally, there will be times when things leak. I just need to peel off the cocoons and confirm with you again. You can find out if you do it.”
"Confirmation? Verbal confirmation is nothing compared to seeing it with your own eyes, right? So, what do you want to do by going to all the trouble to find out my details?" She mocked.
Anyone who is repeatedly picked on by someone will think that the other person is a troublemaker, a nuisance, nosy, and wants to take advantage of the opportunity to blackmail.
"Zheng Quchi, come with me."
Zheng Quchi's eyes widened, feeling ridiculous. She wanted to scold him for being sick. Who was he to her? Why should she go with him?
"Why should I go with you? I said that I saved you and you helped me. We no longer owe each other anything."
"I know, but do you know that Liu Fengmian..." He paused when he saw her looking over in confusion, her clear eyes dancing like stars twinkling as they flowed.
His throat rolled a few times, and then he said: "I will leave here after I finish the last thing in Fu County. I can give you some time to think about it. If you regret it, you can call me at any time."
Zheng Quchi pinched the strap of the baggage and said nothing until he gradually walked away with his umbrella.
"There was no threat or strong demand to leave with him. Instead, I was given time to make my own choice... Who would choose someone with an unknown origin like him?"
However, he said he would stay in Fu County to finish one last thing...what thing? Wouldn't it be like the Mo family who wanted to blow up the city wall that she had worked so hard to design and build?
If this is the case, she, Zheng Quchi, will definitely never be done with him!
——
After changing into men's clothes, Zheng Quchi went home, hoping to get acquainted with Liu Fengmian, so that he would not have to complain to himself in women's clothing. As a member of the family, he had never met his "second brother".
However, Liu Fengmian was not at home. She couldn't find anyone, so she went to ask Brother Sang. He was beating glutinous rice and planned to make glutinous rice cake later.
"Brother, where is Feng Mian?"
"Not long after you went out, someone came to look for him, and he left with the others."
"Who?"
Brother Sang recalled: "A young man with a pair of fox eyes. He is very polite, but he is not like ordinary people."
As soon as he heard this description, Zheng Quchi guessed
Is it Wei Yao?
Why did Wei Yao come all the way to Sang's house to find Feng Mian?
"Brother, I will go back to Guixuan Ridge later in the evening."
"Shouldn't we leave tomorrow morning?" Brother Sang stopped beating. Zheng Quchi saw this and stepped forward to take over. While beating, he directed Yaomei who was squatting next to the stone mortar to turn.
"Work officially starts tomorrow. I can't get up early, so I might as well go there early today. It won't be much different anyway."
"How long will it take for you to repair the city wall in Fu County?"
Zheng Quchi said: "It won't take long, just follow the steps. Now we just need time to build the city body piece by piece and recast the damaged parts to solidify. In fact, there is not much I can do at this stage, just go on inspections." Let’s see the progress of the fortifications, there are technical difficulties, but we will resume work tomorrow, and we should have to call a meeting first…”
Knowing that Brother Sang was worried about her, she did not hesitate to speak and chatted with him about what she usually did in Guixuanling to let him understand.
Brother Sang saw that the rice cake was almost beaten, so he took a piece of it and fed it into Yaomei's mouth. He regarded it as a reward for her help, and then asked her to go play in the yard.
After they left, he asked Zheng Quchi: "Ah Qing, do you feel tired living such a life?"
Of course I'm tired.
But her "tiredness" is different from the "tiredness" that Brother Sang thinks she has experienced.
"I am very tired, but my heart is relaxed. As long as my heart is not tired and my body rests for a night, I will still be full of energy the next day."
She smiled brightly at him, as if all her worries could be forgotten with her.
