It was too obvious, the inscription on the cover of the book was reflected in Chu Liuxiang's eyes, it was not "Book of Songs" at all, but the two words of Dou Da, "trap".

Chu Liuxiang stretched out her hand to pick up the Book of Songs, blocked Mo Qi's hand intentionally or unintentionally, and said with a smile, "Come on, give it to me, I'll reward you."

The little beggar trembled even more, and quickly put the scroll back, shrinking his body like a little quail: "No... no, it must be given to this Taoist priest..."

The little beggar's big dark eyes were shining, and he looked at Mo Qi beggingly.One can still vaguely see the cute and immature face, thin and out of shape, with many cracks blown by the northwestern winter wind, the clothes are even thinner and shabby, and those little hands alone are covered with chilblains.

Mo Qi pushed away Chu Liuxiang's hand and caught the scroll.

He took out a piece of gold leaf from his bosom, and stretched out his hand to hand it to the little beggar. After pondering for a moment, he turned to the innkeeper standing aside and said, "He can't keep this gold, so I will entrust it to you. You give it to me." This child has opened a room and prepared food for him every day, and that room is considered to be reserved for him by me."

The innkeeper rolled his eyes and was about to speak when Mo Qi took out three gold leaves: "I have already asked you about the daily rent here, and this gold is enough for you to ensure that he has enough food and clothing to reach his crown. I and the soldiers in the city There will be old days, and when I leave in the future, I will entrust them to visit this child."

The innkeeper wanted to extort more gold, but when he heard that the God of Wealth was actually related to Chengbing, he didn't dare to speak anymore.

The boss led the child upstairs who was still in disbelief, leaving Mo Qi frowning to study the Book of Songs in his hand, and Chu Liuxiang and Hu Tiehua also came up together, trying to unlock the secrets in the Book of Songs.

"Guanguan Jujiu, in Hezhizhou..." Chu Liuxiang stared at the words on the scroll, "This seems to be an ordinary handwritten book of poetry?"

There is neither entrainment nor poison, and the copyist is very serious. There is not a single mistake in the whole book, and there is no inappropriate stroke. It looks pleasing to the eye.

"Here... who will give the Taoist priest a book of poetry?" Hu Tiehua was puzzled, "Could it be that... the girl who secretly likes the Taoist priest?"

Chu Liuxiang frowned, but still felt that something was wrong: "Then why did that child act so frightened just now?"

Hu Tiehua: "Maybe you were frightened by the Taoist priest's cold face?"

Mo Qi: "..."

Chu Liuxiang moved closer again, almost touching Mo Qi's head: "Let me see again—"

"It took me more than half a month to copy the Book of Songs by hand, is the Taoist still satisfied?"

Before Chu Liuxiang's words fell, a voice that was neither salty nor dull came from afar.

Mo Qi suddenly froze.

Before he could instinctively go through the window, the owner of the voice had already entered the inn, wrapped in the winter wind, wearing a curtain hat.

"Gong Jiu?" Not only Mo Qi, Chu Liuxiang and Hu Tiehua tensed their bodies defensively.

Before that night a few days ago, Chu Liuxiang's impression of Gong Jiu was still "a gentleman who is rich, trustworthy, strong in martial arts, and as reliable as Ximen Chuuxue and others", but Gong Jiu personally broke this illusion.

This person looks indifferent, self-sufficient, aloof and lofty, but in fact he does not stick to any means to achieve his goals.

Who can trust a person who pours drugs into his tea without saying a word?

What's more troublesome is that the martial arts of this unrestrained person is still superior to him and Hu Tiehua.

...In fact, Gong Jiu didn't want to either.

Since he came out of the island, there are few top players in the world who can beat him, but Mo Qi is one of them, and Mo Qi's martial arts do not know where he inherited it. With some stumbling blocks, Gong Jiu really can't catch up with Mo Qi.

This is too rare.Even against characters like Shang Chu Liuxiang and Lu Xiaofeng, Gong Jiu has the confidence to win.His martial arts, even if it is pushed up a generation, it is still able to surpass the level of other heroes.Even in competitions with Ximen Chuuxue, Xue Xiaoren, or Condor Hero, the top players in the arena today, his chances of winning are [-]-[-], or even higher.

It is no exaggeration to say that Gong Jiu himself is also a legend.

However, he couldn't beat a strange Taoist priest with unknown background who came out of nowhere?

Gong Jiu was aroused with a rare desire to win and lose, and more of it was curiosity, and the desire to conquer such a master to subdue under his feet and take it for his own use.

Gong Jiu took off the curtain hat, revealing his pair of flying phoenix eyes, the murderous aura of the past few days was completely gone, and there was a layer of mist covering the dark eyes, making it difficult to see through his thoughts: "Master Daoist Can you see the poem I gave you?"

Hu Tiehua flicked through it again, and found the peach blossom marked in red ink, and read to the marked poem: "Peach Blossom——"

"The beauty of the peach is shining brightly. The return of the son...it's suitable for his family." Gong Jiu looked at Mo Qi only as soon as he entered the door, as if he didn't see so many living people in the entire inn .

Hu Tiehua's voice also seemed to be excluded by him, Gong Jiu slowly approached Mo Qi, and said: "Peach's yaoyao, there is a truth. The son returns home, suitable for his family."

He was already very close to Mo Qi, so close that he could almost feel the tension of Mo Qi's body, and his restraint.But the annoyance of being teased deliberately in public still stained Mo Qi's dark eyes.

Sullen pink color suddenly bloomed on Mo Qihao's jade-like face, it was really as gorgeous as a peach blossom.

Seeing that Mo Qi was about to throw the Book of Songs in his hand to the ground, Gong Jiu stretched out his hand.

He grabbed Mo Qi's wrist.

That night when we first met, Gong Jiu happened to be sick, even if he couldn't go all out at that time, Gong Jiu knew that he couldn't beat Mo Qi.

Such people are too rare, but not surprising.At least Mo Qi's martial arts can't compete with his cheap master, little old man Wu Ming for the time being.

However, Bai Xiaosheng in the Jianghu ranked Mo Qi at the second place in the list of magic weapons... The key to this is really intriguing.

But at this time, he doesn't need to hit Mo Qi, as long as he can stop Mo Qi a little bit, buy some time for himself to say next: "Why should Mo Daoist be annoyed? If my poem offends Daoist , Gong Jiu apologized."

Gong Jiu said it nicely, but there was no apology in those eyes, full of excitement after seeing the prey and sharpness like a blade: "Don't throw it away, Taoist priest, it took me more than half a month. I copied it stroke by stroke. If you throw it away, I won't be in a good mood. If I'm in a bad mood—"

"I don't want to tell the Taoist priest the news that my subordinates have detected."

Gong Jiu lazily withdrew his hand, knowing that he had stepped on Mo Qi's tail.

Even if he didn't grab Mo Qi's wrist, Mo Qi would definitely not be able to drop the book.

To tell the truth, without Gong Jiu, with Chu Liuxiang around, this news must not be kept secret for a long time, and Mo Qi could not give Gong Jiu any face.But this matter not only involves face, but also affects the lives of tens of millions of people on the border and the stability of the border of the Song Dynasty. If there is a delay, there may be more variables. How could Mo Daochang do it with him at this time? A battle of spirits?

Mo Qi: "You!"

Hu Tiehua and Chu Liuxiang huddled together, like two dumb geese, staring blankly at Gong Jiu, who tied Mo Qi's hands and feet after a few words, and his always cold and indifferent face was also stained with a cloud of anger due to anger.

The two of them wondered at the same time, not sure what kind of entanglement there was between Gong Jiu and Mo Qi. They felt as if there was some invisible sword energy that built a high wall between them and Gong Jiu and Mo Qi. The two sides are at odds with each other.

Hu Tiehua arched Chu Liuxiang: "They...what's going on?"

Chu Liuxiang: "How do I know?"

He only knew that these two people were very strange.Once Gong Jiu met Mo Qi, he became no longer Gong Jiu; once Mo Qi met Gong Jiu, he became no longer Mo Qi.

Hu Tiehua and Chu Liuxiang felt that their existence was a bit redundant at the same time.

This sense of redundancy didn't dissipate until the four of them walked into Mo Qi's room, closed the door and sat down.

Hu Tiehua and Chu Liuxiang sat down on the same side of the table consciously, and offered the other side to the two people on the opposite side of the sword energy wall.

Although Gong Jiu is good at using drugs and threatening, but his integrity is not compromised at all.As soon as he sat down, he unreservedly said what he knew as agreed: "There are two anomalies in this Yumen Pass."

Mo Qi's whole body was tense, and he seemed to want to leave Gong Jiu's side, but he restrained himself: "What's abnormal?"

Gong Jiu: "One is wealth. Before last year's autumnal equinox, this Yumenguan was not as poor as it is now, not to mention as rich as Jiangnan, but at least it will not be like that just now, without even a poor shed or clothes for the poor." Little beggar."

"But after the autumnal equinox last year, Yumen Pass seemed to have become poor overnight, and the taxes have become heavier. Even the military salary and supplies have to be rescued by people outside the pass..." Gong Jiu paused in the middle of his sentence, and looked at Mo Mo with some doubts. Qi, "What?"

Taking advantage of her own head: "...nothing happened."

Chu Liuxiang and Hu Tiehua stood on the other side of the table sullenly holding back their laughter.

Yumen Pass is such an important pass, and there is a shortage of supplies and military salaries, so the identity of the donors is naturally covered up by the court.Even if the little emperor didn't consider Mo Qi's safety, Bao Zheng couldn't make Mo Qi a target.

Only the people in Yumen Pass knew about the donation, and the news was tightly sealed. Even the news of the corpse was spread, and the identity of the donor was not disclosed, which shows how united Yumen Pass is.

But since they were so united, how did the news that the defenders of the city were about to die and a corpse be found in three days spread?

There are so many unreasonable mysteries, Mo Qi can only put it aside for the time being.

Gong Jiu is not the kind of person who can read words and expressions, and with his status and status, he doesn't need to look at anyone's face. When Mo Qi said this, he really believed it, and continued: "If we can find out the identity of the big guy , maybe I can find out more information from him, but my people haven't found out who the bully is."

Gong Jiu pondered and said: "It is so well hidden, it is likely to have a lot to do with this case."

Mo Qi: "..."

Hu Tiehua began to pinch her thigh under the table.

Chu Liuxiang coughed lightly: "I know that wronged...great benevolent person, I can assure you that he has nothing to do with this matter."

Gong Jiu sneered, and didn't believe Chu Liuxiang's guarantee at all: "Back then, when you thought that Wuhua must have nothing to do with the Shenshui Palace and other cases, didn't you make the same guarantee?"

Chu Liuxiang: "..."

Chu Liuxiang tried hard to prove: "No, it's true this time, it's definitely okay..."

Gong Jiu interrupted Chu Liuxiang's promise impatiently: "I will let my subordinates continue to investigate the identity of the culprit. If it is really related to this matter, after he is arrested, I will take his wealth and tell him No matter how much you swallow, you will spit it back twice as much.”

As for the rest...there's plenty of room in the warehouse.Gong Jiu thought with peace of mind.

Mo Qi, who was coveted by Gong Jiu face to face: "..."

Hu Tiehua's face was turning blue.

Chu Liuxiang was speechless, and reluctantly accepted the fact that no matter what, Gong Jiu would not trust her.

He glanced at Mo Qi whose complexion was faintly darkened, so he could only help his friend change the subject and said, "Then there is a second abnormality?"

Gong Jiu's phoenix eyes are as beautiful as a peacock's tail feathers, and his cold eyes turned sharply: "Second place, there is less wealth in this Yumen Pass, but there are more things of one kind."

Mo Qi frowned: "What?"

Gong Jiu smiled suddenly, and the cold, conceited and determined expression on his face melted, as if a real peach blossom bloomed at the corner of his lips, soft and delicate: "There."

Everyone looked in the direction of Gong Jiu's finger, and saw a small point protruding from the window sill.

There was also a long general's beard growing on this point. The two tentacles swayed from side to side, and a few small claws swished quickly, exposing his entire body to the sight of a room of humans in an instant.

Mo Qi's throat was blocked by an invisible hard object, Chu Liuxiang and Hu Tiehua were also dumbfounded.

Hu Tiehua was the first to jump and call out: "So big—so red—"

A cockroach the size of an adult's palm, with a bright red carapace, shook its tentacles innocently and met everyone.

The author has something to say: Xiaoqiang: Hi~
