I started a boy band in ancient times

- You came to the right place.

Chu Qi exhaled, boarded the steps on the wine boat, and inspected the huge cruise ship in front of him.It travels on the night river at a very slow speed, and it takes a whole night to reach the other side from one side of the river bank, so when you stop on the boat, you can't feel its movement, almost no different from those buildings on the bank. .

After stepping into the boat, one can see the magnificent interior decoration, the three-storey tower is lacquered with gold, and is extremely extravagant. I am afraid that even the royal ship is not so high-profile.

Chu Qi sighed. He hardly came to the West Market before, and he never inquired about the forces behind the wine boat. At first, he thought it was just an ordinary businessman, but after seeing the scale of the Yehe Wine Boat with his own eyes, he vaguely realized I realized that it is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to be behind this scene.Not to mention anything else, the Dongcheng navy is powerful, so it has paid close attention to shipbuilding technology and ship deployment, but this "Jinghongzhou Pavilion" is obviously beyond the scope of ordinary businessmen's applications.

But this is not his primary concern for the time being, what he wants to know most now is why Liu Jiyue wants him to come here.

He knew that Liu Jiyue couldn't get away temporarily in the palace, so he took the opportunity of Ling Feidu's entry into the palace and handed him the letter with secret words.But first of all, there are doubts. First, what urgent matter does the emperor need to entrust someone in private, and I still don't know why; He couldn't even figure out the specific mystery of the six words.

So we can only take one step at a time.

Chu Qi enjoyed the singing and dancing in the hall for a while, and asked someone to open a private room on the second floor, where he sat alone by the window and had a drink.

The scenery here is very good, leaning on the railing, looking obliquely into the distance, you can see the reflection of the stars and the moon on the night river, and the dancing lights on the distant shore. In particular, if there is still a soft and delicate beauty by your side, you will definitely forget about it and sing and sing all night.

No wonder the business is better than their Fengguang Building, Chu Qi thought to himself, touched the letter in his sleeve, and thought quite amusingly, could it be that Liu Jiyue came to remind him to pay attention to the enemy's situation and quickly investigate competitors?

He drank alone with the moon for two hours, and when it was approaching midnight, when even the romantic place was a little quiet, he finally heard a knock on the door from outside.

"Please come in."

Chu Qi swallowed the last sip of fine wine, slowly turned his head, and squinted at the person coming.Although he came here today without an attendant, and he is not a familiar face, his reputation in the capital is still resounding. There are always people who can wink and inquire about news in Fengyue Field, so he can be sure that the other party will take the initiative to send someone to find him. He, but the person in front of him was really unexpected.

"Mingyao?!" Chu Qi almost bit off his tongue, "Why are you here?"

The one who knocked on the door was Mingyao, and there was another person he didn't know.

Mingyao said confidently: "Why can't I be here? I come here often, but brother Xi, you... came to investigate the enemy's situation?"

Chu Qi didn't know whether to make excuses for himself first or to accuse Mingyao of collaborating with the enemy and the rebels, but the other person who followed came in first opened the chatter box: "Respect, son, I have admired your name for a long time, I am Jinghongzhouxie, My surname is Peng, and my name is Peng Yongyan, the owner of all the wine boats on this night river."

With so many ships under his banner, Chu Qi realized that he had far underestimated his abilities.Different boats and boats have different main promotions, and they are usually in a competitive relationship. Unknowing benefactors are dissatisfied with the service of one boat and board another boat. Compared with the service of the other boat, they feel that the service of the other boat is much better, but they don’t know that the money flows into the same boat. personal pocket.

Sure, Chu Qi's business brain started to calculate again. If Linglong Pavilion is still engaged in hunger marketing of Internet celebrity attractions, Yehe Wine and Restaurant has already crossed over to the parent-child brand chain industry. Not doing it.

But what does that matter, their Fengguang Building is a state-owned enterprise!

think too much--

"Admiration for a long time." Chu Qi pulled his thoughts back. He quickly went through all the officials and family members of officials surnamed Peng in the court, and found that no one was worthy of the name, "Boss Peng...is very familiar with Mingyao. ?”

Peng Yongyan said with a smile: "Young Master Ming is a frequent visitor to our place, but he hasn't come here recently. It's rare for me to go on a boat tour today, so I saw him wandering around in the hall in a daze. Here we come. I have been in Beijing for so many years, and I have heard a lot of gossip about the prince, but I have never met the real person, so I knocked on the door with a shy face."

Chu Qi glanced at Mingyao, and sure enough, he saw that his righteousness was weakening like a punctured balloon, and he whispered, "If I wasn't curious about what you are doing here, I wouldn't have taken the initiative to be arrested." Now..."

Forget it, the child needs to be tolerant when he grows up, Chu Qi thought, but this Peng Yongyan...

He smiled and said politely: "Boss Peng, you are welcome. I have nothing to see. I have been busy for several months since I returned to Beijing. Today, I came to Yehe Wine Boat when I have time. It is really beautiful and beautiful. It will make you drunk and dreamy. Listen to Boss Peng's tone, It seems to be from another place? Listening to the accent again, it looks a bit like the one from the south..."

Peng Yongyan clapped his hands and said happily: "My son has been to the Southland? That's right, I have a good ear. I have been going up the canal all the way for more than ten years, doing this wine and boat business, and I stopped when I arrived at the capital of Chengguo, because there is nothing to do if I go further north. It’s a bustling city on the river in the city. But if you look south, there are quite a few of my wine boats in those big towns, hahahaha!”

Chu Qi: "..." It really is a chain industry, and they can't compare with each other. They lost in Fengguanglou.

But his words caught Chu Qi's attention again: "All the way to the south, including Nanmu?"

Peng Yongyan had an inscrutable smile on his face: "Naturally."

Chu Qi's thoughts moved slightly, and he vaguely felt that there was something special in Peng Yongyan's words, but at this moment Mingyao leaned over and took his arm, and chewed his tongue next to his ear: "Brother Xi, let's go after a few casual greetings." , I heard that the boss is not a good person."

"..." Chu Qi patted his head away calmly, moved his lips, and lowered his voice to Mingyao's ears, "Isn't it a good person that you have come here so many times?"

Mingyao hesitated and said: "Isn't it only after dealing with the people in the bar that I know this? I heard that when he made a fortune in his early years, many beauties were bought and sold by swindlers. The boats are mobile, so it is difficult to catch people, and the fixed venues have only become better in recent years!"

Chu Xi said: "Xiao Ming, if you want to cling to me again, I don't mind if they go back to their old business, so I'll sell you for money."

Ming Yao shrunk his head, but still held his arm tightly. Those who didn't know thought this place was not a gold-selling cave but a cannibal cave.

But walking is impossible, Chu Qi pondered in his heart, Liu Jiyue only mentioned the location in the letter, and did not explain the person and time, so he could only hold the idea of ​​"I don't go to the mountain, I come to the mountain" Mentality, swaying around with great fanfare for a while, and then order a private room alone, waiting for the person who knows the news to deliver it to the door.Now that they come and come, it is impossible for Mingyao to be the one he was expecting to connect with, and the remaining one is very likely.

He quietly looked at Peng Yongyan. He was about 40 or [-] years old. He was upright, with a smile on his face, and he had a fairy beard. He is a pimp who runs a chain of brothels. People believe the Taoist priest who said he went out and turned left and went up the mountain to enter the temple.

But this is not what surprised him the most. What surprised him the most was that Peng Yongyan's strength and popularity were not low in the system score given to him by the third-level observation technique, let alone an ordinary businessman.

So, could it be that this is the force that Liu Jiyue contacted in private?Taking advantage of his traveling by water all the year round, he secretly sent a message to others, asking them to put pressure on Chu Jingzhong immediately?

The more Chu Qi thought about it, the more he felt it was reliable, but when he came back to his senses, his first reaction was not that he was embarrassed by his status, but that it was subtle—Chu Jingzhong opened a beautiful building in order to hide Qingliwei, here to spread the news After setting up a night river wine boat, the brain circuit is really the same.

I don't know if this is really an industry where the emperor sits behind the scenes, can I borrow my boy group to hold a night river concert or something.

"Yaoyao, you go out first. Boss Peng and I hit it off immediately, and I want to exchange information about the recent industry situation." Regardless of whether Peng Yongyan is an insider or not, in short, let Mingyao, a cheap member of the group, be sent away first, and we can communicate in private.

As a result, Mingyao tightened his grip on him, "I want to listen to any industry trends!"

Before Chu Qi could say anything, he heard a loud noise outside the door, and then, the whole ship suddenly began to shake without warning, like an earthquake.Mingyao was caught off guard and almost fell into the mud. Chu Qi supported him and walked quickly to the window. The other boats beside him were still quiet, only to be surprised by the violent shaking of the Hongzhou Pavilion. ripple.

Peng Yongyan barely stood still, and he seemed to have never encountered such a situation, and frowned in puzzlement.He heard the commotion outside the private room, and was about to go out to take charge, when a clerk knocked on the door and said in a panic, "Boss, it's not good, that person has gone crazy!"

Peng Yongyan was still in some situations, he said in a daze: "Who is it?"

"It's the one we fished out of the water a few days ago! It seems that I've broken my brain, and I don't understand what to say to him, but it has amazing strength. I'm tossing hard after feeding three packs of Ruanjin powder every day! Today The subordinates may be a little dirty, and if you want to teach him a lesson, who would have thought that he would go crazy, and he would want to escape after beating a group of disabled people!"

Peng Yongyan thought about it carefully, as if he remembered that someone reported to him not long ago that he had picked up a man who had thrown himself into the river. Because he was good-looking and couldn't tell where his home was, he asked someone to raise him on a boat and train him for a while. It's over.He is a big boss, and he doesn't know how to board the ship every day. He has someone to watch over the big and small affairs of the wine boat, and he doesn't bother him with ordinary things, so he doesn't know what happened after that person was placed, and even now he hears about it. baffling.

escape?He is a serious businessman, not a gangster who forces others to submit—even in the past, he has abandoned evil and promoted good—he saved a life and injured his subordinates, if he just let him go, how could he be in Chengmu Mixed between the fairways?

Peng Yongyan collected his thoughts, and blurted out: "Your Majesty, Mr. Ming, I still have some things to deal with first..."

He originally wanted to say excuse me, but when he turned his head and saw both Chu Qi and Mingyao looking at him with an expression of "it's true", he suddenly felt that they had misunderstood something.

Mingyao whispered in Chu Qi's ear with righteous indignation: "Brother Xi, I'm right, this Peng Yongyan is not a good person! They used Ruanjin powder to feed a person into a fool, and the people under him didn't do it. Not clean, Peng Yongyan still has this ferocious expression, he must be taking that person back and forcing him!"

Although Chu Qi wanted to say that things didn't seem to be like this, but in a hurry, he didn't trust Peng Yongyan much, so he decided to follow him to have a look.

The three of them walked outside, only to see that the hall was in a mess, and many log tables and chairs were broken into two out of thin air. The people who were enjoying themselves were terrified, crying and wanting to get off the boat.There was endless shouting and fighting at the bow, and the guards of Jinghong Zhouxie surrounded the place tightly, preventing the onlookers from passing, so as not to be accidentally injured. They only opened a passage when they saw Peng Yongyan coming.

Chu Qi followed quietly, but the scene in front of him surprised him greatly.

A man with the appearance of a thin and thin boy bowed his back and curled up his body, trembling in horror and vigilance, and looked over in a panic when there was any movement.He was barely clothed, and he was wearing a thin inner lining in December weather. His posture was messy and messy, and his appearance was unclear, but judging from his figure, he was young and immature, only fifteen or sixteen years old.

But in contrast to this timid look, six or seven guards who were shocked by Hongzhou Pavilion fell in front of him, and more people fell into the night river behind him.The Night River was neither rough nor deep, and the attendants present were able to swim, so their safety should be safe, but the drenching in the winter still made those people extremely uncomfortable.The remaining [-] or [-] guards with weapons in their hands only surrounded him, but none of them dared to take half a step forward. A stalemate was formed for a moment.

Peng Yongyan has just arrived here, and he doesn't know why, but seeing this scene, he also felt very strange. After a moment of silence, he said to the young man softly: "It's winter, little brother, don't catch a cold, go inside and talk, if you are afraid of these people, I will call them Just leave."

But the boy just shivered his shoulders and looked at him shyly, without any intention of moving.

Peng Yongyan smiled again: "Little brother, you were rescued from the river by us. If it really meant harming you, you wouldn't act now. You must have misunderstood something."

As he said that, he wanted to call the good-looking girl in the bar to persuade him, but just as he called the madam over, the young man seemed to have seen something horrific, screamed, grabbed one with one hand and threw it down in front of him, groaning. Yin's guards threw them out, hitting the madam's head one by one.

Standing nearby, Chu Qi was also startled by the movement, and subconsciously caught those unlucky guards, but as soon as he started, he felt that the force of the throw was astonishing, and he took several steps back to dissipate the momentum , he casually grabbed a guard who had already fainted to check, and found that they had multiple broken fractures on their bodies, as if they had been beaten out alive.

Chu Qi: "..."

He silently activated the observation technique on the boy.

"Appearance value: 4.52;"

"Singing skills: 2.45;"

"Dancing skills: 0.77;"

"Notability: 1.53;"

"..."

"Physical strength: 5.00;"

"..."

Chu Qi was still silent.

He couldn't believe his eyes.

——5.00? ? !

As I mentioned before, the evaluation standard of the system is comparison, that is, the star-making system will select the highest owner of a certain data in the current world as the full score, and then the rest will be evaluated on the basis of this score.After turning on the third-level observation, you can see the scores to two decimal places, which gives Chu Qi a more intuitive way to understand others and the world.

After upgrading, he also often uses observation techniques to study others. Currently, the closest data to a perfect score is Mingyao's high score of 4.93 - he hasn't had a chance to meet Ming Qian Su or Chu Jingzhong recently, maybe some of their values ​​are also It will be close to a perfect score - but it will not reduce the shock of seeing the strange boy's score in front of him.

Physical strength does not represent martial arts and internal strength, but only represents a person's comprehensive physical fitness, such as strength, agility, tolerance, etc.With a full score of physical strength, it means that this young man may be able to beat Chu Jingzhong violently if he uses his bare hands and does not use any internal martial arts.

...Beating Chu Jingzhong violently...

Chu Qi suddenly woke up.

Fuck, no way Liu Jiyue is looking for this person!

"Well, poof—"

Chu Qi turned his head to look, Peng Yongyan's throat was slightly muffled, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.Just now he also picked up the two guards who were thrown over. Chu Qi even retreated a few steps, causing his chest to swell and his internal organs to be injured. His eyes, which were still calm before, were filled with terror. He looked at that man like a monster. juvenile.

No one dared to move for a moment, Chu Qi asked him in a low voice, "Where did you find him?"

Peng Yongyan mentioned the name of the river, but Chu Qi had never heard of it. Peng Yongyan explained that it was a small river near the western suburbs. The paddock in the western suburbs had been closed for nearly a month. There were a few appointments, and they happened to pick it up.

The word Xijiao paddock made Chu Qi's eyes widen sensitively, and he looked at the boy in front of him more carefully.

Nervous, timid, vulnerable, thin, hostilely afraid of everything.

Chu Qi tried his best to look kind and friendly, took off the warm fur coat on his body, took a small step forward slowly, stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "At least put it on, okay?"

But the boy shook his head frantically, and took another step back pitifully. There was no railing at the bow, and if he stepped back, he would fall into the night river.

Chu Qi watched his movements and suddenly thought - if he really wanted to run, why didn't he jump into the night river?It's a bit colder, but not too dangerous.

Is it because you can't swim?Chu Qi thought again, but with his ability, it seems that it is not difficult to grab a small boat, so...could it be...afraid of water?

He was staring at the boy's feet that were bruised and purple from the cold, and Mingyao suddenly whispered in his ear: "He doesn't seem to be able to speak."

Chu Qi was startled when he heard the words, as if he didn't listen to what he said from the beginning to the end except screaming. The people who shocked Hongzhou Pavilion before seemed to have kept him because they failed to communicate with him.

He was afraid of water, and he couldn't speak, and he was startled like a poor little rabbit... Chu Qi was in a daze for a while.

He put the fur coat in his hand on the ground, gently pushed it over, then rubbed his arms, motioned him to put it on, and returned with a gentle smile.

After being frightened for a moment, the boy cautiously groped over, rubbed the warm fox fur on the fur coat, and his vigilance relaxed a bit.

Chu Qi breathed a sigh of relief, and pushed the suede leather boots over.He hoped to take this step by step to make the young man completely let go of his vigilance. No matter what the situation is, communication is the only way to resolve it. Even though the observation technique tells him that the young man's internal strength and martial arts are not high, and he has a brute force, if he becomes crazy, he will wipe his hands. Enough for him to drink a pot.

He watched the boy holding a boot, trying to put on his bare/bare little feet in a strange manner, then slightly turned his eyes, and hit his idea on the hood Mingyao was wearing, and wanted him to take it off for borrowing After a while, there was a loud sound of falling into the water!

Chu Qi looked over suddenly, but saw that the two guards who had just been thrown into the night river by the boy were lurking under the water, and when he was distracted and caught off guard, they pulled him into the water in one fell swoop!

Sure enough, they all saw the weakness of being afraid of water. The two guards saw the young man thumping and screaming in the night river, and they were very excited to ask Peng Yongyan for credit: "Boss, there is a way to restrain him!"

Peng Yongyan also breathed a sigh of relief: "If you faint from choking, fish it up, don't really drown people."

Peng Yongyan didn't know where this young man came out to be a troublesome ghost, and he was ashamed and lost. He couldn't find a solution for a while, but now he finally had a chance to get dizzy, so he naturally grasped it.It's just that he didn't want to make a fuss for the time being, so he asked his subordinates to pay attention to the situation, but just as he finished speaking, he saw that the eldest son beside him jumped into the river without stopping.

Peng Yongyan's face turned pale in an instant, and he shouted at the top of his voice, "Come up, son! He will only be crazier when he doesn't faint!"

Of course Chu Qi understands this truth. His water skills are not bad, but he is not excellent. It is not because he has any fearless dedication to rush down, but...he can't stand by at all.

He had seen a person who was afraid of smelling water vapor after drowning, had trouble breathing when it rained, and became reluctant to talk, and was startled and terrified every time he went to talk.In the past, he always hoped that the person hadn't been pushed into the water, or that he hadn't been killed by his original body, and he wouldn't have become so pitiful.

And more than ten years have passed, although their relationship has become good, but the past still haunts his heart, so when he saw this scene, his figure seemed to overlap.

Chu Qi's heart was a little bitter, but he didn't bother to investigate the origin of this feeling. He opened his eyes in the water, and groped to swim towards the boy.

The boy was still struggling desperately, but his screams were choked by the river water. It seemed that he was even terrified of the water.Chu Qi knew that drowning people would desperately grab straws, especially the young man who was so powerful and full of hostility towards them. If he was not careful, he might even become a water ghost himself, so he carefully swam behind him and tried to escape from the water. Hug him from behind.

The man had already choked on several saliva, his consciousness became blurred, and even the extent of his struggle was small, but when he realized that someone was holding him up to lift him up, he subconsciously kicked his legs and waved his hands, hitting the people behind him with his elbows and feet. Not surprisingly, a muffled grunt was heard.

He suddenly obediently stopped moving.

There was a biting chill coming from the icy night river, and the boy still hugged the fur coat tightly before he passed out.
