[Comprehensive Martial Arts] Daoist Mo's Whisk

The Qushui Liucup Banquet is an elegant pleasure where people sit on both sides of the stream, place wine glasses upstream, and whoever the wine glass floats in front of will drink it and compose a poem.

Li Guanghan's Liucup Banquet, although there is no wine glass, but there are delicacies, placed in special trays, floating on the surface of the stream.The stream forms a belt, connected end to end. As the water moves, the dishes are rotated in front of everyone over and over again.

In other words, everyone is sitting around this ring stream, far apart from each other.

No one would have thought that Li Guanghan would suddenly get angry when a bird flew in the sky in good condition, and would kill Que Ling if he crushed the porcelain cup.

From the moment Que Ling saw the ink unicorn, she flapped her wings with all her strength, and rushed in the direction of the ink unicorn. When the broken porcelain scattered by Li Guanghan's hidden weapon shot straight out, it couldn't stop at all, and was round and fat. His body was about to collide with those sharp porcelain pieces mixed with internal force.

"Chirp—" Que Ling let out a short cry, but soon, the frightened call changed its tune and became soft and delicate, "咻——咻咻~"

Que Ling quickly tucked herself into the palm of the master who had rescued it by flying body, and rubbed her head stickily against Mo Qi's generous and reliable palm, wishing to make nine turns and eighteen turns with the sound of a bird song.

Mo Qi's speed was extremely fast, Chu Liuxiang and the others were just like when they were in the Yumenguan mine. They only had time to hear a gust of wind beside them, and a black shadow like a crow's feathers had already embraced the bird's feathers and landed steadily. fell to the ground.

Que Ling had already proficiently paralyzed herself in the palm of Mo Qi, her belly, which was as round as a water polo, was flattened, only a few long tail feathers could not be retracted into Mo Qi's hands, and were still sticking out , happily cocked up.

"What are you doing?" Li Guanghan didn't seem to feel the pain, his palm was still bleeding from the bruises from the broken porcelain, so he slapped his palm on the desk in front of him angrily. His face was also full of fury.

Li Guanghan's questioning was extremely forceful and straightforward, as if what Mo Qi saved was not his own little bird, but Li Guanghan's father-killer and enemy.Mo Qi was taken aback by his anger: "...it's just a bird."

Li Guanghan's mood became more unstable, and he said very irritablely: "I kill birds, so what does it matter to you?"

Ji Bingyan was not very used to Li Guanghan's mad dog temper that always made thunder on the ground, and said sarcastically: "If the general wants to kill birds, then you should raise a hundred or so birds at home, and you can do whatever you want." Prestige. This bird is not good. This is raised by our boss himself. Even if he travels all over the Song Dynasty, it is difficult to find one that is exactly the same. Why, General Li, do you usually kill other people when you get angry? Did the bird vent its anger?"

Mo Qi frowned, always felt that Li Guanghan's expression was somewhat chaotic and manic, which seemed a little abnormal: "General..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Guanghan's spear shot straight at his palm.

Mo Qi spun around to dodge, and following his movements, the long black cloak scattered a cloud of thick ink on the snow-white fine sand in the center of the Huanxi River.Even if he hides a hidden weapon, his every move is elegant and subtle, which can be painted.

Hu Tiehua had already stood up with Chu Liuxiang: "General, why bother!"

However, Li Guanghan, who had already fallen into rage, had long been unable to listen to any words, and his eyes were full of the blue tail feathers hanging from the fingers of the Taoist in black.

Kill it, tear it up, and don't appear in front of me again!Li Guanghan's eyes were bloodshot, and the silver spear was firmly in his hand, stabbing at Mo Qi's palm protecting Que Ling with a thunderous force.

When the gun light pierced the air, it rubbed against it and made a sharp neigh, like the sound of a dragon chant.

"Li Guanghan!" Gong Jiu was also furious, calling out Li Guanghan's name word by word.

He was the one who protected Mo Qi into the mansion, not to mention that Mo Qi was only protecting his own bird at this time, even if Mo Qi was protecting some vicious fugitive at this time, if he did not allow it, who would dare to treat Mo Qi? Do it? !

If it wasn't for Mo Qi's hasty dodge, and specially slapped him with the gesture of not wanting to shoot, the victory is invincible, Gong Jiu would have ruthlessly dealt with Li Guanghan, a hard rock that hurts Li Guanghan's feet.

Chu Liuxiang and others watched from the side, worried.They either have disabled hands or disabled legs, but Hu Tiehua is fine, but Mo Qi also gave him a look of not interfering.

Everyone could only watch helplessly. Mo Qi, who was lying on the bed the day before and couldn't turn over and lie down, had no idea whether his injury was healed. Now he was confronting Li Guanghan, who was merciless and full of rage.

Fortunately, in martial arts, the winners and losers are not judged by whether they are injured or not.

When Li Guanghan started to fight, the old butler who was serving the dishes looked over nervously, and felt that his general had been on the battlefield for a long time, and the Taoist man in black must be no match for his general who was forged with real blood. marksmanship.Unexpectedly, after coming and going, the Taoist priest would shake the dust a few times without slowing down, and use the tail of dust that looks gaudy and glittering, but in fact must be cut with a sword, to swipe the general's spear wind in twos and threes. , and a few more slow circles, it entangled the general's silver gun.

The old housekeeper who had never practiced martial arts was stunned: "This...what's going on?"

The Taoist was so slow to draw circles with his whisk, why didn't the general send his gun forward?

How could he know how heavy the pressure was on Li Guanghan's spear point, arms, shoulders, and every inch of muscle and bone in his whole body.

Mo Qi stepped forward lightly, and the fly whisk slowly hugged it round again. The silver gun in Li Guanghan's hand came out amidst Li Guanghan's roar, and flew straight into the sky. in the sand.

Taking advantage of this time, Mo Qi approached Li Guanghan for a quick look, and his heart skipped a beat.

Li Guanghan let go of his silver gun, seeing that the fight was impossible, he could only push Mo Qi away angrily: "Okay, okay! Very good!"

Li Guanghan said hello several times angrily, then shook his sleeves angrily, and left without looking back. He poured the song of water into the banquet and shared it with everyone at the banquet, leaving behind him.

Hu Tiehua only felt that Li Guanghan's temper tantrum was confusing: "No, what about it? Isn't it just a bird?"

Before Que Ling came, didn't everyone have a good chat?Suddenly turning his face because of a bird, the commander-in-chief of the dignified South China Sea is so kind-hearted, isn't it?

Why is this person like a mad dog, cloudy and sunny, thundering on the ground at the slightest disagreement?

Mo Qi tapped his toes, and flew back to everyone from the center of the island like a piece of feather: "It shouldn't be."

He turned his eyes to the old housekeeper who was standing aside for a long time, with a hesitant expression on his face: "Thank you, General Li, for your hospitality."

Among other things, at least Li Guanghanbu's dishes were really good, and everyone was really full.

Mo Qi's tone was calm and steady, as if he wasn't the one who fought with Li Guanghan just now.

The old butler met Mo Qi's quiet and deep eyes like oceans, which were stuck in his mouth, and he couldn't say what he came and went, but for some reason, he was able to say it smoothly: "I hope you don't want to talk about it." Blame the general. The general is... oh..."

The old housekeeper sighed deeply: "My general was seriously injured half a year ago, and almost went to the mansion where he crawled back with half his life. Since then, his character has become extremely irritable. Every time I see a blue or cyan bird, I suddenly get angry without warning, and we don't know why."

The old housekeeper said: "My general lost his parents when he was young, but his grandfather raised him alone. Ten years ago, the old general was accidentally injured in order to stop the fights between the people in the Jianghu and protect the affected civilians. The general who was still underage left behind. That’s why the general hates the Jianghu people, especially the Jianghu people who use martial arts to violate the law, and hates them so much that they almost turn into soldiers.”

When the old housekeeper said this, his old face was full of self-blame, self-blame was useless, he couldn't relieve the general's worries: "The general is seriously injured this time, although the whole family is worried, we can't even talk to him. No, we can only speculate based on the general's reaction that the person who harmed him should be inextricably linked with the 'Blue Bird'."

"When the old general was alive, he would often bring the young general to hold this banquet. Since the old general passed away, this is the first time that the general stepped into the small pavilion in the middle of the lake and opened the water. Liu Shangyan. If he didn't really want to be friends with Daoist Mo...and you guys, he would never get close to this small pavilion in the middle of the lake. If that's the case, why would he want to turn against you?"

"The general is not an unreasonable person. It's just that the serious injury really left a deep impact on the general... If it was before the serious injury, my general would never lose his temper so suddenly. Old general He likes elegance, my general has read poetry and books since he was a child, and he is also a Confucianist, not to mention losing his temper at will, just losing his temper-that is very rare."

"It can be said that I have watched the general grow up since I was a child. I understand the general's personality and also know the general's thoughts. I don't want the general's sudden action to cause everyone to misunderstand, so I just talk about it." The old housekeeper said to everyone. He made a bow: "I hope all the knights can forgive the general!"

Hu Tiehua just now thought that Li Guanghan was like a mad dog. After being told by the old housekeeper, his stomach was almost dissipated, and he said helplessly: "You have already talked about this, and we don't understand anymore. It seems to be It's a little too much."

Chu Liuxiang smiled: "Don't worry, Steward Li, we are not small-minded people. Look at Daoist Mo, does he mean to be a little angry? I'm not exaggerating. Among the people I have met in my life, I am afraid that I will find you again." There's no one with a better temper than him."

Alas, I am not lying.Chu Liuxiang took a peek at Xia Gongjiu, and said in her heart, although this person may be a bit small-minded, but there is still Mo Dao growing here, so it's not a big problem, it's not a big problem.

·

·

Chu Liuxiang comforted the old housekeeper with a few sentences, and coaxed him away with nice words.After resting for a while, everyone gathered in the room of Chu Liuxiang and Ji Bingyan after the contents of their stomachs were almost digested.

"What news did Que Ling bring back?" Chu Liuxiang asked.

Mo Qi put Que Ling, who was about to twist into a twist in his hand, on the table, stroked its little head several times, and finally coaxed Que Ling to stretch out its claws, revealing the letter paper tied on its leg.

Mo Qi unfolded it and took a look: "..."

"What?" Hu Tiehua immediately turned his head over, "Wait patiently, there will be surprises."

"What surprise?" Ji Bingyan raised her eyes and asked.

"No, I didn't say anything!" Hu Tiehua bent sideways, looked at the back of the letter, then straightened up and looked at the front, back and forth several times, "Just these six words!"

"It's not the words of Bao Xiang." Mo Qi saw that Hu Tiehua was working hard, so he handed the letter in his hand to Hu Tiehua.

Gong Jiu squinted his eyes: "It looks like the imperial cat's."

"Royal cat? You mean, Nanxia Zhanzhao?" Chu Liuxiang walked over with great interest, and looked with his head, "...the word Zhan Shaoxia."

Tsk.To say that a cat crawls is considered a compliment.

Mo Qi was silent.He had read Zhan Zhao's handwriting, and it wasn't ugly.He probably wrote this word casually when he was having fun with Bai Yutang, so he wrote it so... unrestrained.

From this point of view, Bai Yutang's situation should be pretty good, otherwise Zhan Zhao wouldn't be in the mood to write letters for Xiang Bao.

Mo Qi: "Since Bao Xiang told us to wait, let's wait."

"Okay. If that's the case, we can't look at the corpse for the time being. We can't ask about General Li's 'encounter with a fairy', considering today's unhappy breakup." Chu Liuxiang walked to the coffee table and sat down. He touched his right arm with his left hand.

The burns he and Ji Bingyan suffered, which hurt the tendons, were more difficult than Mo Qi's.

"However, just now, the old butler gave a lot of useful information." Chu Liuxiang said thoughtfully, "He said that General Li was seriously injured, and he 'almost died before crawling back to the mansion'."

Mo Qi: "It should be about 'encountering a fairy'."

"He also said that since 'Yu Xian', General Li has become extremely irritable." Gong Jiu lightly tapped the palm of his hand with the folding fan, "This may be the same situation as Bai Yutang. When he was seriously injured, his brain was injured. , This is what makes people change their temper."

"Then why do you get angry when you see a blue or cyan bird? Can't the fairy be a blue bird and become a spirit?" Hu Tiehua wondered.

"Or the cause of the serious injury is related to the blue bird." Mo Qi said, "There is a poem saying 'There is no way to go to Pengshan, and the blue bird is attentive to visit'. There may be a connection between the immortals of Pengshan and the attentive blue bird. "

Chu Liuxiang guessed: "This 'immortal' may have kept many blue birds?" He shook his head self-consciously amused, "In short, on the way General Li 'meeted the immortal' and fled back to the mansion, there must have been some 'blue birds'. 'Relevant things. In the afternoon, Xiao Hu and I can go out to see if there is any place that meets this point in this place."

"Black iron ring." Mo Qi said suddenly.

Gong Jiu: "What?"

Mo Qi looked at Gong Jiu: "The black iron ring on Li Guanghan's body. We have never figured out what it is for."

Mo Qi paused, turned around and looked at the wide open window, went to the window sill and closed the window, and locked the door with the latch.

After confirming that no one would hear him, Mo Qi turned around and said, "When I was fighting with General Li just now, I picked up the opportunity to take a closer look at his situation."

Everyone cast their gazes at the same time.

Mo Qi: "His face is covered with face-changing powder, but it's not enough to change his facial features, it's just enough to cover his face. His hair exudes a smell of plant ash, and the roots of many hairs are white, isn't it? It's pitch-black. His eyes are bloodshot, as if he rarely gets a good rest, and his brows are always wrinkled, as if he's been suppressing something."

"So, I was right at the time, his hair was actually dyed black." Chu Liuxiang couldn't help but took a sip of the cold tea, "It seems that General Li was really hurt when he met the immortal. Heavy."

"Yes." Mo Qi nodded, and then said, "The old butler said that his personality has become irritable, and he would even lose control of his emotions after seeing something that triggered his memory of 'Yu Xian'."

Mo Qi: "So... if the iron ring is actually prepared to prevent him from losing control of his emotions?"

Hu Tiehua and Chu Liuxiang looked at each other in dismay: "If it's like this... such a thick iron ring, this... General Li is a bit out of control."

"This is just my conjecture. Before there is no evidence, don't take it seriously." Mo Qi said in a deep voice, "Since Mr. Bao sent us a letter asking us to wait, he must have thought about it in his mind. Let's wait for a while."

"However, Chu Liuxiang just said that you can look for the suggestion of 'Blue Bird' in Manli, and I agree with it." Ji Bingyan, who had only listened to it all this time, suddenly said, "But my leg is also a drag when I go out, so I will entrust this matter to you." Here it is for everyone. Time waits for no one, why don't you go on your way early?"

Chu Liuxiang rubbed his nose and said with a wry smile, "You think we are arguing."

Ji Bingyan said calmly: "It's not noisy, it's very noisy." Pushing the wheelchair by himself, he stopped by the door and made a gesture of sending each other off, "Everyone, let's go?"

·

·

Although Chu Liuxiang and Hu Tiehua were kicked out together with Mo Qi and Gong Jiu, when they really set off, the two very knowledgeable people had already disappeared.

Mo Qi had no choice but to silently follow behind Gong Jiu, shopping in the city streets full of hawking and frolicking.

Gong Jiu held a piece of cherry blossom cake and argued with the boss: "...it must be six copper coins."

Boss: "... My son, a box of cherry blossom cakes costs thirteen copper coins, and you gave me twenty copper coins. From twenty to thirteen, it's seven copper coins."

Gong Jiu was suspicious: "...Is that so?"

The boss had nothing to say, but he didn't dare to neglect the distinguished guest in front of him: "That's it. Young master, think about it carefully, why should I lie to you? You want I asked you for six copper coins, but I insisted that it was seven. Isn't this sending money out for nothing? There is no such reason!"

Gong Jiu: "It makes sense."

The boss wiped his sweat, counted out seven copper coins, and handed them to Gong Jiu: "Your change."

Gong Jiu moved to the side, meaning: I don't accept change, my lord, the change will be given to the person behind me.

Mo Qi: "..."

He reached out to take the boss's change, followed Gong Jiu a few more steps, and couldn't help but whisper: "I'll pay..."

Gong Jiu flatly refused: "Why? What do you mean? Could it be that I can't even pay for things myself?"

On the eaves on both sides of the city street, the hidden guards following closely all the way heard their master's words, and immediately shed bitter tears.

That's not what Young Master Jiu said when he didn't usually go out with Mo Daochang!Who is the person who asks them to pay every time they pay money, and doesn't want to use their brains to calculate?

who is it? !

Mo Qi was blocked by Gong Jiu's words, and immediately didn't know what to say.After walking aimlessly with Gong Jiu for a while, he asked in a low voice, "Why did you come to South China Sea?"

Gong Jiu casually scanned the shops around the market: "What's the matter, Qianqing?"

Mo Qi: "..."

Mo Qi could see that it was not appropriate for the Ninth Young Master to talk to him today.

When he was about to give up and just follow Gong Jiu, Gong Jiu stopped in his tracks, turned around and said, "Do you know that your little apprentice knows how to make hidden weapons?"

Gong Jiu was caught off guard by asking this question, without any warning.The footsteps also stopped abruptly, if Mo Qi hadn't reacted in time, maybe he would have collided with Gong Jiu all at once: "What?"

Gong Jiu: "Do you know that your family—"

Mo Qi was just looking at Gong Jiu's back and was distracted. After subconsciously asking something, his brain turned again: "I know."

Gong Jiu paused: "...what are you?"

"I know." Mo Qi looked down at Gong Jiudao, "There are calluses on his hands, and only people who often make hidden weapons will wear them in those specific places. I have also learned some ingenious weapons, so Know--"

"You know." Gong Jiu's originally peaceful eyes suddenly became angry again, "You know?!"

The four big characters of self-promotion and affection suddenly flashed in Gong Jiu's mind, dazzling.

Fortunately, he has been thinking about how to tell the wrongdoer all the way, but in the end he was worrying in vain?

Facing the angry look on Gong Jiu's face, Mo Qi couldn't help being a little confused.He could indeed feel that he seemed to have made Gong Jiu angry again, but this time, he really couldn't guess why Gong Jiu was angry again.

Coincidentally, at this moment, he saw the familiar shop behind Gong Jiu at a glance.

The owner of the clothing store walked out with two apprentices and a big box with a smile: "Ah! Daoist!"

He left his apprentice behind and walked up to Mo Qi briskly, not noticing Gong Jiu who was beside Mo Qi with a cold face: "Master Dao, I finished the clothes you asked me to make! Do you think it's a coincidence? I was about to send it to you, and you appeared at the door of my shop!"

"Make clothes?" Gong Jiu's voice rose dangerously at the end of her words.

Previously in Hexi, Gong Jiu made enough new clothes for Mo Qi to wear for a whole year.Mo Qi has just come to South China Sea, so he went to a tailor shop to make new clothes, what is the meaning of this?

What, do you think it's not enough, or you don't want to wear the clothes that Gong Jiu gave you?

Gong Jiu narrowed his long and narrow eyes slightly, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.

"Oh, yes, yes." The owner of the clothing store noticed Gong Jiu beside Mo Qi, "This young man is so handsome! He must be a friend of Daoist Mo!"

The owner of the clothing store is very good at talking, and he can't stop talking when he opens his mouth. He even dared to talk to Gong Jiu, who had already started to look murderous: "You don't know! Master Mo, you came to my shop some time ago Li ordered clothes, and brought a box of pearls with me! At first, it was the Taoist priest who was received by my little apprentice, and when the box was opened, he almost went into convulsions! He was so scared that he immediately called me out."

The boss started to talk, and squinted his eyes, as if recalling the feeling when he unpacked the box: "A whole box full of pearls...they are all high-quality products! The color is white and the glaze is bright. They are all perfectly round, without a single blemish, and they are of all sizes. According to the size, they are clearly divided into three or four layers! There are three hundred small pearls in this box, and there are at least a hundred or so large pearls. My dear boy, if you sell this, it will cost you at least a thousand pieces of gold, right? Even the best pearl breeders and fishermen in the South China Sea will have to spend three to five years to gather so many and have such a good appearance. Pearl!"

"I was still surprised at the time, where did the Taoist priest get so many pearls! So I asked the Taoist priest." The boss lowered his voice mysteriously, "Guess how these pearls came from?"

Without waiting for Gong Jiu to ask, he lowered his voice and said, "The Taoist priest himself went into the sea, held his breath and under pressure, pried them out one by one from the clams on the bottom of the sea, and picked them out by himself!"

Gong Jiu said with a smile on his face: "Oh? Really?"

The owner of the clothing store thought that Gong Jiu was also surprised when he heard it. He didn't see the look Mo Qi handed him, clapped his hands excitedly, and continued: "Yes! My sweetheart and Meijiao Niang make clothes, and wear them at sacrifices or feasts!"

Gong Jiu: "Hehe."

Gong Jiu's eye knife began to stab Mo Qi's spine hard one after another.

Really heartless!He gave Mo Qi so many clothes, and even patiently accompanied Mo Qi to handle so many cases, but he didn't see Mo Qi return him a pearl.On the contrary, that sweetheart, Meijiaoniang who has never heard of it, without showing a face, can just wait for Mo Qi to deliver the clothes made of the pearl Qiandou that he personally picked to the house?

Mo Qi, who was so wronged by the knife in the eye, stretched out his hand and opened his mouth to say: "Don't—"

Say no more.

Gong Jiu hit Mo Qi's chest with a fan, pushed his head back, and said coolly: "I don't know what kind of beautiful girl it is to be so favored by the Taoist priest, and to use thousands of pearls to make clothes so extravagant. "

As Gong Jiu said, he pierced Mo Qi with warning eyes, and pointed the tip of his fan vaguely in Mo Qi's direction, warning him not to stop the owner of the clothing store from explaining the matter.

Mo Qi closed his mouth in a complicated mood: "..."

The owner of the clothing store slapped his thigh and laughed loudly: "Sir, you thought the same way too, right? We all thought the same way at the time! As a result, Mo Daochang put down the box and said that I would use these pearls as decorations and rush to make them for him." A few sets of white cloaks came out. At first I thought he wore them himself, but the Taoist priest said that he prepared them for a friend!"

Mo Qi: "...Boss, you..."

Gong Jiu's movement of playing with the folding fan suddenly slowed down a bit: "...Oh? Friend?"

He suddenly had a hazy premonition.

The owner of the clothing store laughed and said, "Yes, my friend! He said that he likes to wear white clothes the most, so he asked me to make some different styles of cloaks, but they are all pure white." The owner of the clothing store looked him up and down. Gong Jiu raised his eyebrows suddenly, and muttered a few numbers, "Oh, this... the size of this long hair for me seems to be similar to yours... Huh? You are also wearing white clothes Ah, could it be that you are the friend the Taoist priest mentioned?"

Mo Qi: "..."

Only then did the owner of the clothing store realize what he had said inadvertently, and suddenly slapped his head in frustration: "I'm talking too much!" He turned his head and apologized to Mo Qi, "I'm sorry, Daoist! "

Mo Qi: "..."

What else can he say.

Mo Qi reluctantly took the box that the two apprentices could lift together with one hand: "It's okay. It's just that I know it earlier and know it later."

Gong Jiu was stunned.

He stared at the box involuntarily: "For me?"

...for him?

Gong Jiuping has never received a gift from others in his life.His father didn't give it to him, the little old man didn't give it to him, and neither did Shaman.Even the palace lord, who always loves to cling to him, follow him, and keeps saying that he loves him, has never given him a gift.

Unless you count the beef broth.

But the palace lord's beef soup is not just for him. Almost all the men on the island have eaten it, and even some women have eaten it.

In that big pot of beef soup that can be distributed to more than a dozen people at the same time, how can the thought of the palace master be compared with the clothes made by the Taoist priest who went to the sea and personally selected for him? Compare?

Mo Qi didn't know what Gong Jiu was thinking, so he simply replied, "Yes. It's a gift from Hexi earlier."

He was not like the palace lord, who would brag about how much thought, time and energy he had put into the soup every time he made it and served it.Gong Jiu can assert that if he hadn't happened to meet the owner of the clothing store this time and knew the ins and outs of making the clothes, he might not have known that Mo Qi would go into the sea and do it himself to make these clothes.

He would never know that these pearls on the clothes were not bought by Mo Qi with a huge sum of money, but he mined and selected them one by one himself, and maybe each one has passed through his hands countless times.

Because Mo Qi would not tell him.

Mo Qi would only give him the clothes, and then simply say "return gift" just like now.

Maybe, if he doesn't know, he will misunderstand Mo Qi, thinking that Mo Qi wants to settle with him, put these clothes on the shelf, or even destroy them, and destroy these pearls.

As soon as Gong Jiu thinks of this possibility, he feels that the box of clothes in front of him is extremely precious, and even the talkative clothing store owner becomes very useful and intelligent.

Gong Jiu seemed to be waiting for Mo Qi's words. As soon as Mo Daochang finished "um", he reached out and took the box over: "Not bad."

He gestured.

The hidden guards squatting on the eaves immediately floated down with interest, helped Gong Jiu lift the box and slowly... "Friendship".

Gong Jiu: "Take it back to my room, so I can keep it—wait." Seeing the way the guard was carrying the box to leave, he changed his mind immediately, "No, you carry it in front, follow Let's go back together."

For such an important - such a precious box, it is safer for him to look at it personally, send it back to the mansion, and then put it away himself.

The dark guards: "..."

Dark guards: "Yes."

The hard-working hidden guards immediately found a pole and put it on the box. The four of them picked up the box together, and the rest of them were still guarding the front and back. A huge and heavy wooden box was treated like an emperor. .

Look at Mr. Jiu, if the box hits somewhere, it doesn't matter whether the wood is scratched or the paint is rubbed off, their skin will definitely peel off a layer.It's better to offer it up and protect it like an ancestor.The dark guards skillfully survived under the cracks of the mountain of Jiu Gongzi.

It is better to come early than to come early.The bald mouth of the clothing store owner actually helped Mo Qi.

When he spoke again, Gong Jiu's tone hardly contained any displeasure, but instead brought a little joyful teasing: "This case of searching for immortals in Pengshan can be regarded as the third case I have handled together with the Taoist priest."

Mo Qi: "Yes."

Not much to say, um, it's always true.

Gong Jiu shook the folding fan in his hand: "The Taoist priest's physique is not much inferior to that of Kaifeng Zhanzhao Zhan Shaoxia."

Mo Qi: "..."

Not at all, most of the time, he found the case first, before he found it.

But finally Gong Jiu was in a happy mood...

Mo Qi: "...um."

Gong Jiu sighed: "The ones who died were all generals and deputy generals. I hope that this time, General Li will not follow in the footsteps of those seniors... I don't have many outstanding generals in Song Dynasty. Daoist, how many more can you come out with?" The second door, I'm afraid I'm going to kill you."

Mo Qi: "...um."

·

·

All relying on the word "um", Mo Qi and Gong Jiu finally spent the afternoon peacefully.

When he returned to Li Mansion in the evening, Li Guanghan was half kneeling on the floor of the main hall, listening to the imperial decree.

Mo Qi and the others are also familiar with the rice paper person, and it is Lin Qi.

Lin Qi: "...Order Zhennan General Li Guanghan to assist Prince Taiping's son to quickly solve the case of seeking immortals in Pengshan, hereby—"

Originally, Li Guanghan was steadfast in preventing outsiders from intervening in the affairs of the South China Sea. Now that he was so suppressed by the imperial decree, his complexion would naturally not look good.But Li Guanghan still lowered his head and took the imperial decree with both hands: "The last general will accept the decree."

Hu Tiehua, who was watching from the side, clicked his tongue and said, "It's under the imperial decree of the little emperor. General Li will hate us when he sees us now."

Chu Liuxiang sighed: "Is it important to establish a good relationship, or to find out the truth and give justice to all those who died in vain in the South China Sea? Your Majesty's order is correct."

General Li received the order, and also saw Chu Liuxiang and others who had returned home.

He restrained his anger and glanced at everyone, and said to Gong Jiu: "The general is not feeling well, and I am afraid it will be difficult to accompany the son to handle the case. There are special personnel in the general's mansion to manage all matters in handling the case. If necessary, the son can go to Steward Li .The last general will retire first.”

After Li Guanghan finished speaking, he simply left.

Lin Qi saw that Li Guanghan was gone, so he approached with a smile: "Master Mo, Master, and Chu Xiangshuai, Hu Daxia, let's meet again!"

Lin Qi looked at the direction of Li Guanghan's departure and said: "Your Majesty knows that General Li has a high spirit, and because of General Li's matter, he has a lot of prejudice against people in the world, so he asked me to deliver the imperial decree. You can't suppress General Li by oral instructions." He noticed Mo Qi's expression of disapproval, and he said in relief, "Although I feel sorry for General Li, so many people have died in Nanhai, so it must be okay to indulge like this." No way. Although General Li will be angry because of His Majesty's will, at least he won't stop you from handling the case."

Lin Qi smiled: "Besides, the Holy Majesty said that General Li has always been a hard-spoken and soft-hearted person. You don't have to worry too much, just concentrate on handling your own case. When General Li calms down, he will naturally be unable to hold back. Come and help."

Chu Liuxiang, who had been bullied by Zhao Zhen, could almost imagine the look of the fox spirit when the little emperor said this, and he was even sure that Zhao Zhen must have said this with a smile.

Lin Qi: "Oh, that's right. When I came earlier, I saw a painter who came to deliver portraits, and the casual guards stopped him."

He took out the painting and said, "This is the painting he sent."

Manli was close to the South China Sea, and the winter was cold and damp, and the corpses were already soaked in water, so it was extremely difficult to preserve them, but the immortal clothes they had uniformly changed by the "immortal" were still intact.

The corpse that was earlier was festered badly, so Chu Liuxiang and the others had to start with the recently discovered one.

"After you found the bodies, have you checked their identities?" Gong Jiu asked the old housekeeper who came with him.

The old housekeeper: "Yes, but most of them are foreigners. The local dead in Manli are all farmers and merchants, and they have no contact with each other. We asked their family members, is there any possibility of killing them like this?" People, after checking the list they gave, it is found that these people are unlikely to have the opportunity to commit murder-because they all have alibi."

Mo Qi stretched out his hand and crushed the clothes on the dead man: "The clothes are made of silk, no wonder these corpses float on the water."

He lifted off the clothes of the deceased, and his goal was the chest of the deceased who was so thin that the ribs could be counted: "..."

Hu Tiehua tsk-tsk: "Oh, the fairy spirit in the eyes of the people in Manli is actually
