The bright moon sits on the ground

Neither Xiao Xueyang nor Huang Sheng met Tan Rongchong directly, so they naturally didn't recognize him. He just felt that this person was a big showman, not just a few of them. Other people in the inn also looked at this side secretly, showing envy look.

Nie Qiu and Fang Qisheng nodded, "Young Master Tan."

Huang Sheng had heard Fang Qisheng talk about Xiayan City in advance, and after a little thought, he guessed the identity of the person in front of him.

And Xiao Xueyang remembered, it seems that there was such a person who wrote a letter to Nie Qiu before.

Tan Rongchong swept his gaze briefly, and asked, "Who are these two?"

After listening to Nie Qiu's introduction, he gently shook the folding fan in his hand, "Are the four ready to go out now? It seems that the timing of my arrival is very coincidental. If it is a few steps later in the evening, I will probably be with you guys." Staggered."

It's a coincidence, but it's also a coincidence, Nie Qiu thought, Xiao Xueyang's plan to ask them to go to Rumengfang should come to naught.

Noticing Nie Qiu's hesitation, Tan Rongchong narrowed his eyes, and soon found out who he was worried about, and turned to Xiao Xueyang who was beside him, showing a smile that couldn't be refused, "Miss Xiao,? The two sons of Nie Fang have been away for a long time. I have other things to do when I come to the imperial city this time. I have to meet with them, and we are about to leave after getting together. Xiayan City is not close to the imperial city. ? After this farewell, we don't know how long it will be until we see each other again, so I have to wrong Miss Xiao."

Now that he has said that, Xiao Xueyang has no reason to refuse. She went to Rumengfang to play, so she waved her hand and said, "Well, it's okay, then the two of us will leave first."

After saying hello to the other two, Xiao Xueyang left with the indifferent Huang Sheng.

I was a little depressed when I left, probably because I didn't expect to be cut off by someone who suddenly appeared at this time.

Seeing Xiao Xueyang and Huang Sheng leave, Qin Rongchong waved his hands, "Please, both."

The Qin family is well-off, with the entire Xiayan City as their backing, the carriage parked at the door was nakedly announcing to the onlookers: Yes, even though I am rich, I still want to show it to you all See how rich I am.

However, when I was in Xiayan City, I didn't see Qin Rongchong put on such an exaggerated formation. Maybe it was because of traveling, so I deliberately didn't use the carriage that I usually use. Nie Qiu thought while lifting up the soft and silky satin and getting into got the carriage.

The three entered in a file and sat down on the cushion embroidered with exotic patterns.

The sound of horseshoes and bells overlapped, and the carriage moved forward slowly in a cheerful and leisurely atmosphere.

Qin Rongchong looked at Nie Qiu, tapped his cheek, and asked, "Young Master Nie, I wanted to ask you earlier, why did you cover your face, not only wearing a bamboo hat...but also a mask underneath? What are you hiding from?" person?"

Guessing that the time Qi Qianyuan gave him should not be long, in order to avoid involving unnecessary people, Nie Qiu was careful when he went out, and put on both the bamboo hat and the mask, which can be said to be tightly wrapped , airtight.

"That's right. Many things will happen recently. It's best for Mr. Tan to separate himself from me when he's away."

Although he didn't know what kind of riddle Nie Qiu was playing with him, Tan Rongchong still complied, and then turned to look at Fang Qisheng, "Master Fang, I don't know if the apology I sent before is in line with your wishes?"

Speaking of this, Nie Qiu remembered that Tan Rongchong had indeed said similar things when he was in Xiayan City, and he had given him many rare and precious treasures when he was sent away from the Qin Mansion. Unavoidable bumps, so he didn't take it, only took away the Chihu jade pendant, Tan Rongchong saw that he refused, and didn't force it to him.

What Tan Hongchong promised was to make an apology to himself, but at this time, his words revealed another message: he also sent an apology to Fang Qisheng, and Nie Qiu didn't know why he gave it.

He glanced at Fang Qisheng, and found that his eyes were a little dazed, and he obviously didn't know.

After a while, Fang Qisheng seemed to think of something, and replied: "I haven't returned to the Devil's Cult during this time, and the things you sent should have been put away by the main rudder. know about it.”

After a pause, he asked again: "Why did Mr. Tan give me an 'amendment'?"

Tan Rongchong thought he was joking at first, but after careful observation for a while, he realized that he was serious.

This is strange.

When he was in Xiayan City, he caused a lot of trouble for Nie Qiu because of his small... hobbies. He was looking for people and inviting people to the boat. When people went to the restaurant, the group of rough guys who watched the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal began to tease openly.

Some said that Nie Qiu had "got his wish" when they saw him, and some coaxed him and said that he was "blessed" this time, laughing and making noises. Although Tan Hongchong explained it in time, it still made these two people look bad.

Nie Qiu had grudges in his heart, and this Tan Rongchong could understand, but Fang Qisheng looked at him a little colder than usual, which made people think deeply.Afterwards, in order not to offend these two people, Tan Rongchong sent out an apology each. Although Nie Qiu didn't take it, he sent someone to send Fang Qisheng's share to the head of the Demon Cult.

In the end, after careful consideration, he found a suitable compensation to send out, but Fang Qisheng said that he didn't know why he wanted to give it.

Qin Rongchong frowned slightly, closed the folding fan, tapped his palms, and said half-truthfully: "During Xiayan City, I caused a lot of trouble to both of you, so naturally I should offer an apology. Master Fang I must be busy suppressing the four sects these days, and it is normal to have no time to go back to the main helm, so I just asked casually, it’s okay to wait for the leader to look at the gift when he has time.”

Fang Qisheng nodded, agreeing with his statement, and did not continue to ask.

When the carriage arrived at the Imperial City Restaurant, it was almost noon, and it was time for lunch.

Starting from the restaurant and ending at the restaurant, Tan Rongchong really put a lot of thought into this reunion.

Even after getting out of the carriage, Nie Qiu still wore a bamboo hat and a mask. He only removed those two layers of camouflage when he entered the side room that Qin Hongchong had reserved in advance and waited for the respectful and humble servants to serve the dishes. The room was stained with thin beads of sweat because of the sweltering heat, and he wiped it off with his fingertips.

It is said to get together, but in fact it is to catch up on the past and ask the other party about their recent situation.

"According to what Xie Mu said, I will salvage all the corpses at the bottom of the lake within ten days and put them in a mound." Tan Rongchong ate something to pad his stomach when he was in the carriage, so he only moved a few chopsticks before putting it down "Then I asked Lu Huairan to go door-to-door to find their families, and told them where the grave was buried. However, because this matter really couldn't be brought to light, I just made up another story To cover up the real cause of death of these people."

He suddenly sneered and shook his head, "Actually, it's useless for me to tell you these things now, after all, the dead can't be brought back to life, the innocent dead have died, and Xie Mu has already been reincarnated, I don't know What happened next. And I just did it for my own peace of mind."

"Young Master Tan," Nie Qiu looked up at him, and said in relief, "You are just one of those innocent people involved."

"Maybe that's the case." After Tan Rongchong finished speaking, she lowered her eyes and didn't know what she was thinking.

He has spent decades on the Lingyan Lake in Xiayan City. He has given up more than he has gained. He has been sad and painful more than he has smiled sincerely. He is old and his heart is dead. Not sure if it's worth it.

Seeing that he was deep in thought and silent, Nie Qiu didn't disturb him. He stretched out his chopsticks to pick the boiled pork slices in front of him. The shredded bamboo shoots were picked up by the chopsticks and put into the porcelain bowl.

Pushing the long hair from his temples behind his ears, Nie Qiu turned his face to the side, wanting to lower his head to pick up the piece of meat.

After turning his face, he happened to catch a glimpse from the corner of his eye that the chopsticks held by Fang Qisheng suddenly lost control, slipped from between his fingers, twirled in the air, and then fell straight down.

As soon as he let go, the sliced ​​meat slipped into the bowl again, and Nie Qiu subconsciously reached out to catch the pair of chopsticks.

Fang Qisheng was unaware of this. He saw the chopsticks fall from between his fingers, and he reached out to catch them with quick eyesight and quick hands.

If one of these two people reacted slowly, this matter would not have become like this.

Who caught it first, Nie Qiu didn't know, he only knew that the two chopsticks fell to the ground during the dispute, making a crisp sound, and then Fang Qisheng's hand hit his knee - the pain hit, Fang Qisheng Taking a breath, he withdrew his hand abruptly, and knocked the porcelain bowl on the table over with his elbow. The blue and white painted porcelain bowl rolled in a circle, and then fell down as expected——Nie Qiu just said something Sorry, seeing the porcelain bowl fall, I couldn't help but leaned over to catch it for him.

Fang Qisheng felt a pain in his chest, gritted his teeth and shouted, "Nie..."

The distance suddenly narrowed, and Nie Qiu only realized later that their current posture seemed not very good.

Fang Qisheng's voice was full of unbearable pain. Nie Qiu raised his head, wanting to see the expression on his face, and wanted to get up and put the porcelain bowl back in his hand. Fang Qisheng happened to look down at him. As soon as he raised his head, he hit Fang Qisheng's jaw directly, causing him to grunt in pain, and quickly put his hand on the top of Nie Qiu's head, lest he raise his head and bump into himself again.

Nie Qiu was holding the porcelain bowl in his right hand and the chopsticks he had just picked up in his left hand, so he was imprisoned in place, unable to move.

In fact, if you really want to break free, you can break free, but Nie Qiu felt a little guilty, so he squatted in place obediently and did not move.

After all, the scene was embarrassing and strange.

After a long silence, he asked, "Are you okay? Did I hurt you just now?"

The pain was real, after all, first his hand hit his knee, then Nie Qiu hit his chest, and then his jaw was hit too.Fang Qisheng thought, he took medicinal baths and drank bitter medicines every day in the past few days, and all the food he ate was extremely bland, but now because of such a fuss, it was all useless, and he didn't know if the wound on his body was open.

After a few deep breaths, the pain finally eased.

When Fang Qisheng was about to let go and let Nie Qiu get up, he was suddenly blessed.

Looking up, at the other end of the table, Tan Rongchong was looking at the two of them with a complicated expression, hesitating to speak.

Fang Qisheng...Fang Qisheng met his gaze and said, "No."

He couldn't imagine, from Tan Rongchong's perspective, what kind of strange posture the two of them were in.

Tan Rongchong wanted to say, you two, one is lying between the other's legs, from his angle you can only see half of the back of the head, especially Fang Qisheng is still pressing Nie Qiu's head, Nie Qiu also asked a question "Did it hurt you?" Even if he didn't want to think about it, his thoughts always went to the side that he couldn't explain clearly. I really can't blame him for this.

It can be seen that the relationship between the two people in front of them is really unusual.

Therefore, his previous speculation was not unreasonable, and it should be the case.

After deliberating for a while, he pretended to be relaxed and smiled, "It's okay, I understand, the two of you have always had a good relationship."

Fang Qisheng opened his mouth and wanted to explain, but when he remembered what happened last night, those words used to explain turned around his throat a few times, and then he swallowed them again, so he could only choose to acquiesce.

He really had some thoughts that he couldn't explain clearly, so he couldn't easily say the lie that was used to cover up.

But Nie Qiu only heard the two of them say a bunch of inexplicable words, and then Fang Qisheng moved his hand away.

He first stepped back cautiously, then took the bowl and chopsticks and prepared to stand up.

With his back to Tan Rongchong, Nie Qiu didn't know the expression on his face, he only knew that the moment he stood up, Fang Qisheng stretched out his hand, exerted a little strength, and quickly pinched his cheek, as if It's venting anger.

Those eyes were dark, stained by the bright sunshine, with a hint of warmth, and a sense of aggrievedness that came from nowhere.

The temperature of the other party still remained on the cheek. Nie Qiu unconsciously touched the place where Fang Qisheng had just touched, and suddenly found that his face was surprisingly hot, spreading from the cheek to the root of the ear. It was hot and dry, as if even the heart became cold. Soft and brittle.

He wanted to blame the hot wind blowing through the window, but he could only hear the breeze whispering in his ear, laughing at him.

Because today's weather is obviously very cool, not hot at all.

The author has something to say: Fang Qisheng was murdered
