There is always a man who wants to marry him

On the fifth day back to the Valley of the Kings, Tie Mian was watching Fei Qi draw the magic pattern in his cave dwelling. The man who had guided him when Tie Mian visited the North Valley camp was suddenly led by Lausanne, who said he was from the Alongba faction. here.

Seeing the iron face, the man hastily bowed to salute, and presented an exquisite invitation letter with both hands.

Tie Mian took a look and found that the signature on it was Alongba, and the content was to invite him to visit Alongba's house tomorrow night.

After thinking about it, Tie said to the man who came to deliver the letter: "Tell your general, I will be there on time."

"Okay, Lord Baiqi!" After receiving the promise, the man was obviously relieved, turned around and left immediately, and went back to report to Alumba.

After the man left, Fei Qi tilted her head and asked, "What does it mean to be a guest?"

"Don't tell me you don't even know what it means to be a guest." Tie Mian returned his white eyes.

"Of course I know the literal meaning of it, but I don't understand why Alumba invited you." Fei Qi frowned and said, "Isn't your current position hostile? It's impossible for him to know..."

Fei Qi didn't finish his sentence, but Tie Mian also understood what he meant.

"You'll know if you go and have a look." Tie Mian said indifferently.

"Then... if you want to eat again, do you want me to test the poison for you again?" Fei Qi asked with pouted lips.

Tie Mian couldn't help laughing, "I was just joking, do you really take it seriously?"

"I don't think you are joking." Fei Qi muttered depressingly, "Also, if Alumba also gives you a woman like Di Chen, you have to refuse it yourself, don't expect me to be a villain again."

"No." Tie Mian glanced outside with a smile and saw no one around, so he put his arms around Fei Qi's shoulders and kissed him quickly on the mouth, "Since Alumba invited me to his house, then he My wife, Mi Yin, will definitely be there to accompany me. And Alumba is afraid that Mi Yin is famous, even if he sends me a woman, he will never send it in front of Mi Yin, otherwise, hehe, it will be a good night Let's see the show."

"I hope so." Fei Qi snorted, without further words.

The next night, Tie Mian and Fei Qi went to the appointment on time.

The house where Alumba lives is also inside the Valley of the Kings, and it is near Iron Mask and the others, but in the opposite direction, just at the other end of the diagonal.

Although Alumba's house is also on the second floor, it occupies a larger area than the one on the iron face, and there are not only him and Mein living in it.When Tie Mian and Fei Qi came to the door, two men dressed as attendants were standing there. Seeing them coming, they immediately bowed to greet them without asking, and then one of the attendants led them into the gate.

Alumba was already waiting in the living room with his wife Mein.Alumba didn't wear armor, but changed into ordinary clothes at home.My Yin was wearing a long loose skirt, and there was already a clear bulge in her lower abdomen, which could no longer be covered by the dress like the last time I saw it.

"Welcome, Captain Iron Mask." Alumba greeted Iron Face with a smile, but it could be seen that the smile on his face was a bit forced, far from being as sincere and amiable as his wife Myin.

"I came here empty-handed, without any gifts, I hope you don't mind." Tie Mian said politely.

Alumba immediately froze his smile.

Mi Yin beside him immediately smiled and smoothed things over, "You are too polite, Lord Baiqi, if you really want to bring gifts, I am worried that the dinner will not be rich enough to satisfy you!"

"That is to say, today's dinner is not rich?" Tie Mian asked following Mi Yin's words.

"You're right, I only prepared some home-cooked dishes, and I hope you don't mind." Mi Yin admitted frankly, and then, on behalf of Alumba who hadn't entered the state yet, invited Iron Face and Fei Qi to sit down, and then smiled Said, "I'll go to the kitchen to see if dinner is ready, you two can talk slowly."

After finishing speaking, Mi Yin turned and left the living room.

As soon as Mi Yin left, Tie Mian didn't have the patience to wait for Alumba to speak, and asked directly: "Tell me, why did you invite me over?"

Alumba's face froze, and he quickly adjusted his mood before saying calmly: "You can think that I am asking for peace."

"Peace? Now? Don't you think it's too late?" Tie Mian sneered mockingly, "I'll send someone over to assassinate you tomorrow, and then I'll have peace talks with you, what do you think?"

"You can try." Alumba bit his gums.

"Are you sure?" Tie Mian asked contemptuously.

"You can try." Alumba clenched his fists and repeated what he said.

Tie Mian sneered and did not reply.

But Alumba also saw from his stern attitude that he didn't really want to turn against him, so he immediately adjusted his mood again, pretending to be calm and said: "Actually, what Dichen promised to you, you can still do it from now on." I get it here, and more."

"Do you know what Di Chen promised me?" Tie Mian leaned on the chair and asked meaningfully.

"It's nothing more than money, status, and power, women." When he said the last word, Alumba's eyes obviously glanced to the rear, "Unfortunately, I am inclined to your favor in matters of men and women. I wish, I don't like to force others to make things difficult, so if your preference is women, then I really can't do anything. But you don't look like a womanizer, we can reach a consensus on other aspects. "

"You might as well be more specific." Iron Face looked at Alumba with interest.

"It can be seen that your subordinates lack equipment, especially sophisticated ironware, and I can provide all of these." Seeing that he was willing to listen, Alumba became more calm, "But I will not let you join my guards Army, but surely you will not be willing to be included under my command and obey my orders."

Tie Mian did not answer, nor did he deny it.

"Of course, I won't ask too much from you. For example, in this entanglement with Di Chen, it's best if you are willing to help, and it doesn't matter if you stand on the sidelines. In short, just don't help him." Alongba continued Said, "But after the matter is over, you must leave the Valley of the Kings with your men - there are people and equipment, and I can give you a large sum of gold. With your ability, you can develop anywhere, right? ?”

"It sounds fair." Tie Mian smiled noncommittally, "There's just one thing that makes me wonder—isn't the Valley of the Kings owned by that holy king? But no matter you or Di Chen, when you were bargaining with me, it seemed like I never even thought of asking for his opinion!"

Hearing this, Alumba also laughed, "It's been so long since I came to the Valley of Kings, can't you see the inside story of this Valley of Kings? Holy King, hehe, he has already become a name."

"Could it be that he already..." Tie Mian asked pretending to be surprised.

Alumba chuckled, "It's good to know some things in your heart, why bother to say it?"

Tie Mian nodded clearly, and stopped asking.

The relative who was sitting next to her also had to work hard to control the expression on her face so as not to show any strangeness.

Alumba obviously didn't see that the iron mask sitting in front of him at this moment was the holy king he swore to follow back then, so he spoke out some "inner thoughts" self-righteously.But Tie Mian is not someone who can laugh away with his enemies. In front of such a vengeful guy, he said that he is "useless" and what will happen to Alonba, Fei Qi can imagine with his toes come out.

——Stop trying to kill yourself.

Fei Qi lit a candle for Alongba in her heart.

At this time, Mi Yin returned to the living room gracefully, interrupted the "peace talk" between Alumba and Tie Mian just right, and invited them to the restaurant for dinner.

Alumba got up immediately, walked quickly to Mi Yin, stretched out his hand to support her, and then turned around, sending a formal invitation to Iron Face as the host.

Tie Mian didn't say anything harsh in front of Mi Yin, instead he hooked his fingers at Fei Qi, led him to stand up together, and followed Alumba and Mi Yin to leave the living room.

Alumba did not invite other guests, and only two low dining tables were placed in the spacious dining room, with two cushions placed behind each.There is no clear distinction between the two low tables. There is only a charcoal grill that is larger than the dining table in the middle, so that the host and guests behind the table naturally create a distance that looks safe at least.

Tie Mian and Alumba took their seats first, and Fei Qi and Mi Yin sat down beside them.

Fei Qi noticed that when Mi Yin saw that the positions he had chosen were almost identical to hers, there seemed to be a flash of surprise on her face, and her eyes obviously looked at his position several times.

Fei Qi herself is also very helpless.On such occasions, left and right have very different meanings.If he was an assistant such as a counselor, priest, etc., then he should have sat on the left side of the iron face, but the iron face occupied that position by himself, leaving him the right side where his wife and concubine used to sit.

Fei Qi couldn't let Tie Mian make room for him, so he could only sit down by mistake.

Alumba didn't seem to notice this, seeing that everyone was already seated, he immediately called the maids over and asked them to serve the wine and serve the food.

Several young but not-so-beautiful maids came in quickly carrying dishes and drinks, and two musicians followed behind them with Yueqin in their arms. cheerful music.

Affected by several "poison tests", Fei Qi habitually paid attention to the dishes on the table.

Fei Qi didn't tell Tie Mian that poison testing was actually the same as table manners, something he had learned since he was a child.In the early days, he only learned what to eat and what not to eat under the guidance of his mother, Luoyue. After he became the quasi-queen of the Holy King, the content and scope of learning began to gradually increase.The reason Fei Qi learned medical theory from Hailang, to put it bluntly, was to learn to identify poisons, so as not to be plotted against by others after marriage, and die in the end without knowing how.

The dishes on the table all look ordinary, as Mi Yin said, most of them are common ingredients such as beans, potatoes, beef and mutton, but the cooking method is more delicate and complicated, which makes people feel that the meat is fresh at first glance. Delicious, move your index finger.

Fei Qi was thinking that he could have another feast tonight, when the maid next to him had already started pouring wine for the iron noodles, and a faint mellow aroma immediately came to his nostrils.

——Green fruit wine soaked with licorice!

Smelling this smell, a string in Fei Qi's mind immediately tensed up, and she subconsciously turned her gaze to a plate of dishes on the table: hijiki bibimbap, and then recalled the story his mother once told him as a story. Diet taboo.

Both licorice and hijiki can be used as both cooking and medicine, but once the two are mixed together, they will become deadly poison.However, the onset will not occur immediately after eating, and the effect will not appear until the next meal is eaten. It is easy for people to mistakenly think that meal is the source of the poison, and provide a scapegoat for the real poisoner.

Hijiki is a special product in the sea. When Fei Qi saw it for the first time, he thought it was specially prepared for him.It wasn't until now that she smelled the licorice in the drink that Fei Qi realized that she was too self-indulgent, and that the other's target was not herself at all!

Alongba, who doesn't even have a rune name, can't learn this kind of knowledge. Nine out of ten people who can set up such a murderous situation are Alongba's wife Mi Yin, the daughter of the clan chief.

——Damn it, do you think everyone else is an idiot without common sense?

Fei Qi angrily picked up the wine glass in his hand, raised it in front of the maid who had just poured wine for Tie Mian, and pressed his elbow on Tie Mian's arm very obviously, preventing him from toasting to drink.

"Can you pour me a glass too?" Fei Qi asked the maid pretending to be shy.
