Looking for Qin Ji colleagues

"Master Hou wants to invite the two of us to dinner?" Xiang Shaolong looked puzzled.

"That's right." Lian Jin looked businesslike, but compared with his usual gentle smile, this expression seemed very impolite.

Xiang Shaolong and Lian Jin did not confront each other once or twice, and he didn't care about Lian Jin's attitude at all, but he was very puzzled, looked back at Fang Xia, and asked Lian Jin: "Ah, I don't know why Lord Hou invited Where shall we eat?"

Lian Jin curled his lips: "Lian doesn't know the reason." He obviously didn't want to say it.

Xiang Shaolong and Fang Xia didn't speak, they looked at each other.

Seeing this, Wu Tingfang was anxious and asked, "Brother Lian, why did Lord Hou invite Brother Xiang and Sister Xia to a banquet? Even if it was because of the Cuju competition, why did Sister Xia go with her?"

Wu Tingfang took the initiative to ask Lian Jin about it, and Lian Jin was finally happier, and the smile on his face became more real: "Miss Wu, Lian really doesn't know about Lord Hou's plan. explain--"

Lian Jin deliberately played tricks, and this girl Wu Tingfang immediately took the bait foolishly: "What did Hou Ye say?"

A hint of cunning flashed in Lian Jin's eyes, but Wu Tingfang couldn't see it, she could only hear a hint of worry in his tone: "Master Hou said that Mrs. Xiang is even more beautiful even though she looks sick. The young hero loves and worries so much."

"Shameless! A prostitute!" Wu Tingfang was stunned for a moment, and soon began to curse Zhao Mu without any surprise, and looked at Fang Xia worriedly, "Sister Xia, you must not go, Zhao Mu There must be no good intentions!"

"Uh, Fang'er..." She didn't even call Lord Hou, and called Zhao Mu directly, Wu Tingfang was really angry.However, although Lian Jin said that Zhao Mu was very obscene, Fang Xia didn't feel much. After all, she was not an ancient woman, but she also had her worries, because Zhao Mu was indeed more lustful.It's just that the words were relayed by Lian Jin, so there is a question mark over their veracity.

There is a lot of thinking in the mind, and it is very simple to turn to the words.Fang Xia wanted to confuse Lian Jin, so he first said to Wu Tingfang: "Fang'er, you must have misunderstood Master Hou." Then he lowered his head and pretended to be shy: "Master Hou is really flattering you. However, Master Hou must have never seen him before. Only the way Shaolong quarreled with me made me think how good he was to me." The acting was too poor for fear of being seen, so he could only lower his head to cover it up.

Xiang Shaolong didn't think much about it at first, but seeing Wu Tingfang's reaction was so strong, it reminded him.But he had the same worries as Fang Xia, he absolutely didn't believe that Lian Jin would help them, and after hearing Fang Xia's reply, he followed her and said with a smile: "Miss, I also think you are I misunderstood Master Hou, what Master Hou said is absolutely right, don't you think your sister Xia is very beautiful?"

"I—" Wu Tingfang was blocked by Xiang Shaolong's words, so she could only say, "Sister Xia is of course beautiful."

"That's right!" Xiang Shaolong decisively cut off Wu Tingfang's words, and instead of letting her continue, he asked Lian Jin with a smile, "When and where tomorrow, my wife and I will definitely be there!"

Lian Jin was a little surprised, the reactions of Xiang Shaolong and Fang Xia were beyond his estimation.He didn't want Xiang Shaolong to be recruited by Zhao Mu, so he said those words, but he didn't expect it to be self-defeating.But after thinking about it, even if Xiang Shaolong and Fang Xia agreed to go, they would definitely have scruples about Zhao Mu, and with Zhao Mu's consistent behavior, there is no guarantee that he will not act out of line, and the recruitment will definitely not be successful. .

When Lian Jin thought about it, he was relieved, but he would never express his inner thoughts. Even though he was thinking a lot, he still had that slightly proud and disdainful smile on his face.With one corner of his mouth raised, Lian Jin said to Xiang Shaolong: "Master Hou will send someone to pick up Young Master Xiang and his wife tomorrow, and you will know when the time comes."

"Okay!" Xiang Shaolong smiled not to be outdone, "No problem."

Lian Jin glanced at him, then turned to Wu Tingfang and said, "Miss Wu, Lian's business has been finished. I haven't seen you for a few days. I don't know if your sword skills have improved. Why don't we go over there to practice swords?" ?”

Wu Tingfang remembered her father's instructions, and felt embarrassed, looked at Fang Xia and Xiang Shaolong, then at Lian Jin, and said with averted eyes: "My father said, as a daughter, don't use swords."

"That's right, what kind of sword does my daughter practice at home?" Xiang Shaolong interrupted immediately, "It's fine to stay at home to embroider, cook soup, and cook vegetables. By the way, didn't you say that you are going to make some soup for your sister Xia today? Well, it's time to eat soon, hurry up and make soup!"

Ever since Wu Tingfang knew that she was from Qin, although she didn't listen to her father wholeheartedly, she still felt that she shouldn't be too close to Lian Jin.After Xiang Shaolong said that, she followed suit and said, "Yes, Brother Lian, I have to make soup, so I'm leaving!"

Wu Tingfang directly rejected Lian Jin and left, Xiang Shaolong waved his hand at him with a triumphant smile: "We still have something to do, Brother Lian, please do yourself." After speaking, he turned around and pulled Fang Xia to the table: "Come here Come, teach me to recognize these words."

Lian Jin always had a smile on his face, until he watched Wu Tingfang's figure walk away, then raised his sword and walked away by himself.

Seeing Lian Jin walk away, Fang Xia couldn't help but ask Xiang Shaolong: "How about you confront him like this?"

"Anyway, even if I'm not like this, we've already met." Xiang Shaolong said indifferently, "Hey, don't talk about this, let's talk about tomorrow's matter. Ah, I really don't know what that Zhao Mu thinks Yes, why did you invite us to dinner? Could it be that you want to throw a grand banquet and want to get rid of me?"

"The Hongmen Banquet hasn't happened yet!" Fang Xia gave Xiang Shaolong a look, "Besides, do you have Liu Bang's strength?"

"Then what do you think is going on?" Xiang Shaolong humbly asked for advice.

Fang Xia started to take advantage of cheating again: "Zhao Mu probably wants to win you over."

"Will it be?" Xiang Shaolong was thinking seriously.

"If Zhao Mu used money and beauties to win you over, what would you do?" I remembered that Xiang Shaolong had always refused.

Sure enough, Xiang Shaolong curled his lips: "What's the use of me wanting a beautiful woman with money? Didn't you say that our money is enough?"

"I knew you would say that." Fang Xia tilted his head.

"Then what do you think I should say?" Xiang Shaolong saw that Fang Xia had a different opinion, but he didn't quite understand it.

Fang Xia smiled like a little fox: "Of course you can't agree to him. If you agree to him, you won't be free. But..."

"But what?"

"However, you don't have to reject him outright, hang on to him, maybe you can use him to find out Ying Zheng's whereabouts." Fang Xia tempted Xiang Shaolong.There's no need to make Xiang Shaolong and Zhao Mu get very stiff, it will only cause a lot of trouble for nothing, it's better not to get too bad.

Hearing Fang Xia's words, Xiang Shaolong suddenly realized: "Oh, I understand, I understand what you mean, you mean to ask me to go undercover with Zhao Mu."

"That's almost what it means!" Fang Xia nodded.

"Okay, no problem!" Xiang Shaolong didn't know what he thought of, and put on a smile that was more obscene than Fang Xia's, making Fang Xia feel cold all over.

"Ah, there is one more thing." Xiang Shaolong said suddenly.

Fang Xia was surprised: "What's wrong?"

"Aren't you afraid of Zhao Mu? Why did you agree to have dinner with him this time?"

Fang Xia rolled his eyes: "I used to be afraid because I didn't want him to remember me, but now that the scene a few days ago, I'm afraid he has already firmly remembered me?" Fang Xia thought so, Anyway, I can't get rid of the identity of Mrs. Xiang Shaolong for the time being, so it's better to help Xiang Shaolong fool Zhao Mu, and let him not kill Xiang Shaolong, so that her personal safety will be more guaranteed.As long as she gets through this period of time, she will be safe for the time being in Qin.

Xiang Shaolong nodded: "So that's the case." He didn't ask any more questions.

After noon the next day, Zhao Mu sent someone to pick up Xiang Shaolong and Fang Xia. It was a luxuriously decorated carriage with a canopy hanging from the top, which could cover the people sitting in the carriage. It looks very romantic.

Sitting beautifully in the carriage, Fang Xia was sent to the gate of a mansion together with Xiang Shaolong and Manager Tao.There is a word on the plaque on the gate of the mansion, but Fang Xia hasn't learned it yet and doesn't know it.Manager Tao stayed outside to wait for them, Fang Xia followed Xiang Shaolong into the door.

Being led by a maid all the way, Xiang Shaolong began to casually observe the surrounding environment, laying a good foundation for the next investigation.But Fang Xia had a premonition that this was definitely not Zhao Mu's residence.

Sure enough, when Fang Xia was brought to the entrance of a hall, listening to the melodious sound of the qin, and seeing Mrs. Ya playing the qin, Fang Xia knew that Zhao Mu, the old and cunning villain leader, would definitely not let them go to his lair .

Fang Xia took a quick look at it from the corner of her eye. The hall wasn't very big, but the decoration was complicated and luxurious. Thinking about Mrs. Ya's living standard, it was naturally relatively high-end.There is a low couch in the middle of the hall, Madam Ya is sitting on it, playing the piano gracefully, Zhao Mu is sitting on the right side of the lower head, looking intoxicated in enjoying the music.Xiang Shaolong and Fang Xia looked at each other without disturbing each other, and stood at the door together, enjoying the sound of the piano.

After the song was over, Xiang Shaolong, Fang Xia and Zhao Mu applauded together.

Madam Ya raised her head when she heard the applause, showing a soft smile.

Zhao Mu got up and walked towards Xiang Shaolong and Fang Xia with a smile, but he didn't speak.

Xiang Shaolong looked at Zhao Mu, then at Mrs. Ya, and praised: "Well played, well played...it sounds like a symphony orchestra, it's really beautiful."

Fang Xia chuckled in her heart: This compliment is really special.

Of course Mrs. Ya doesn't understand what a symphony orchestra is, but she has her intelligence. While smoothing her hair coquettishly, she gave a shy look and said, "Xiang Shaolong is not only good at martial arts, but also good at Cuju. It's amazing, I can't think of it, even talking is so funny." The voice is really indescribably nice, soft and charming.

Xiang Shaolong waved his hand: "Madam, please don't be so polite. You are so beautiful, but you can't imagine that you can play the piano so well. Don't you think so, ma'am?" The lady behind refers to Fang Xia.

Fang Xia was named, and took a step forward tacitly: "Shaolong is right, Mrs. Ya's piano sound is long and smooth, comparable to the sound of nature, it is really a blessing for us to be able to listen to it." Shaolong was not much better, with a lack of adjectives, and he didn't know if people could understand the compliments he said.

Mrs. Ya covered her mouth and smiled, with an indescribable style: "You husband and wife are really good at talking, so don't make fun of me." After finishing speaking, Mrs. Ya got up from the low couch and walked to Zhao Mu's side: "Master Hou, The slave family has prepared delicious food and wine according to your instructions, why don't we go to the small pavilion and talk slowly."

"But according to Madam's arrangement." Zhao Mu, who is very gentlemanly, smiled and nodded at Madam Ya, then turned to Xiang Shaolong and Fang Xia, "Xiang Shaoxia, Madam Xiang, please!"

So the two followed Zhao Mu and Mrs. Ya all the way to the so-called Xiaoting.

This is an open pavilion built on a small pond and connected by winding stone corridors.There are lotus flowers blooming in the pond, the scenery is very pleasant and makes people feel comfortable.

There were four small tables in the pavilion, which were still very low. A maid stepped forward and took the four of them to their seats. It happened that there was one in each of the southeast, the southeast, and the northwest. Zhao Mu and Xiang Shaolong, Mrs. Ya and Fang Xia each Two by two relative.

After the four were seated, the maidservants served fruits and dishes, and filled the glasses in front of each person with wine.

After seeing the wine being poured, Xiang Shaolong picked up the pure gold wine glass and smelled it, and said in a low voice, "Wow, it's Erguotou, it's very exciting!"

Fang Xia picked it up when he heard the words, and then looked contemptuously: "It's far from Erguotou, and it's a little higher than beer."

"Really?" Xiang Shaolong smelled it again, "How did you smell it?"

Fang Xia thought of a possibility, and squinted at him: "Are you a bad drinker?"

"Yes!" Xiang Shaolong admitted without hesitation, and then said with a bitter face, "I can't even drink a bottle of beer, what should I do?"

Fang Xia was embarrassed, and then patted Xiang Shaolong's shoulder with infinite sympathy: "Don't worry, leave your share to me."

"You?" Xiang Shaolong was puzzled at first, and then suddenly realized, "I remember a colleague once said that Shandong people are very bold, what about the Water Margin, those heroes all drink in big bowls. Ah, so you are so strong !"

Fang Xia smiled proudly: "Hmph, all the boys in our class in college were willing to bow down!"

Xiang Shaolong opened his mouth wide.

"Brother Xiang and Madam are really affectionate. They talk like no one else at the banquet, are you afraid of ignoring the beauty?" Zhao Mu saw Xiang Shaolong and Fang Xia chatting easily, as if he didn't care much about the dinner, especially what they said He couldn't understand the words at all, and was immediately dissatisfied.

"Oh, I'm really sorry." Xiang Shaolong quickly admitted his mistake for his negligence, and seeing that Zhao Mu's expression finally improved, he said to Mrs. Ya, "I didn't do it on purpose. Please don't be angry, madam."

Mrs. Ya was very knowledgeable, covered her mouth and smiled: "Xiang Lang is serious, Lord Hou is joking with you. But the love between Xiang Lang and his wife is really the envy of my family!"

"Mrs. Ya is unparalleled in beauty, and it is even more enviable." Mrs. Ya has been helping Xiang Shaolong to smooth things over, and Fang Xia also reciprocated, smiling back and complimenting her politely.

Mrs. Ya was thoughtful, and smiled softly at Fang Xia: "Mrs. Xiang is making fun of my family again. My family is old and decrepit, not as youthful as my wife, and I have a bosom friend like Xiang Lang who loves me and loves me." Fang Xia and Xiang Shaolong were brought along, and they gave him a wink by the way.

It has to be said that Mrs. Ya is really a master of communication.
