"Oh my god... hey!" Hu Tiehua didn't pay attention, stepped into the bloody water, startled himself, "Is he still alive?"
Chu Liuxiang stepped on a few hard things, moved her foot and looked: "Where are the nails on the ground?"
Chu Liuxiang picked up the thin iron nail and looked at it. The iron nail was so thin that it was not so much a "nail" as an iron needle with a nail cap at the end.He raised his head, looked at the surrounding walls and the ceiling, and indeed saw several such iron nails.
Hu Tiehua: "Looks like a hidden weapon?"
Chu Liuxiang moved his position, and made a gesture based on the angle at which the iron nail penetrated into the wall: "This iron nail was shot from General Li's position. Could it be his own hidden weapon?"
But what is General Li doing in this cellar with hidden weapons?Could it be that an enemy broke in before?
Mo Qi couldn't care whether the blood on the ground would stain his clothes, so he squatted down and turned Li Guanghan face up.
Li Guanghan looked like he was bleeding a lot, but his injuries were not serious.The blood on the ground not only flowed from the blow to his head, but most of it came from the several-inch deep cuts he made on his arms and legs with iron nails.
Fortunately, he couldn't bear to grab the ground with his head, and he did it after he had exhausted a lot of physical strength. Otherwise, if he followed this crazy method, he might kill himself with a single head.
Mo Qi: "Fix the old butler's acupoints. It's inconvenient to scrub and heal General Li in the cellar. He has to fetch water, wash the handkerchief, and decoct medicine... Let him ask the servants to help. .”
…………
The old housekeeper staggered down the cellar after Gong Jiu unlocked his acupuncture point.It was obviously the first time he went down to the cellar, and when he saw blood all over the floor, and Li Guanghan lying motionless in Mo Qi's arms, his head and body covered in blood, he gasped suddenly, his heart felt cold, and he sat down. He fell to the ground, crying all over the place.
"He's not dead, he's just exhausted and unconscious." Mo Qi comforted the old housekeeper, "Do you know where the key to this iron chain is?"
The old butler wiped away his tears, shook his head and said, "I didn't even know there was such a cellar in the general's room..."
"When I met General Li earlier, he was already wearing an iron ring. Maybe the iron chain can be taken off from the iron ring." Chu Liuxiang leaned over to look, "Look, it really is!"
Mo Qi raised Li Guanghan's right hand and saw that the junction of the iron ring and the chain was indeed as Chu Liuxiang guessed, it was not welded, but linked together with complex mechanisms.
"Otherwise let Xiao Yuandao come and try...ah, Young Master Jiu has already told you about this, right?" Hu Tiehua was halfway through talking before realizing that he was talking loudly again, and immediately glanced at Gong Jiu tremblingly .
Gong Jiu stood leisurely with arms folded, looked at Hu Tiehua with a half-smile, but didn't speak.
Hu Tiehua: "..."
Why do I have the illusion that Mr. Jiu is in a good mood now... No way, he was still annoyed before going out.
Mo Qi nodded: "I said it. There is no need to waste time."
If it weren't for Li Guanghan's urgent need for treatment, Hu Tiehua's suggestion was not bad, just to see how Tang Yuandao's organ skills are.But now Li Guanghan is still bleeding, the wound on his body has not been treated, and the wound on his forehead needs to be bandaged urgently, so Mo Qi simply did it himself.
Hu Tiehua looked at Mo Qi dumbfounded, and took out an iron rod slightly thicker than a needle with a pointed tip from his sleeve that seemed to hide the entire grocery store, and after a few provocations, the lock was snapped open up.
Even Chu Liuxiang was a little surprised.Chu Liuxiang, who is a bandit commander, can naturally deal with such a lock, but the tools in his hands are more complicated and delicate. How can he just pick it up with an iron rod like Mo Qi? How did he open it? Lock?
Mo Qi pulled out the iron rod that was poked into the lock, but the iron rod was not the same as it was before, but there were many fine teeth around it, which happened to be the mold of the key that can open the lock.Mo Qi stretched out his hand to press the end of the iron rod, Chu Liuxiang only heard a light click, and the teeth around the iron rod retracted immediately, and turned back to the original bare iron rod.
"This little thing is a novelty." Chu Liuxiang glanced at the iron rod, which seemed to have nothing special, with great interest.
He just said it casually, never thought that Mo Qi would pass the multipurpose key into his hand without even thinking about it: "Oh, no, that's not what I meant—"
Mo Qi lowered his head indifferently, flipped his hands over and took out an identical iron rod, and continued to unfasten several other iron ring locks: "It's okay. This thing doesn't cost materials, and it's easy to make."
Just take care.But compared to the Four Seasons Wine, which is labor-intensive and expensive, this iron stick is really nothing.
Chu Liuxiang didn't refuse anymore.In fact, he doesn't need the universal key, and he can pry the lock open, but it may take more time.But since he can have this time-saving tool, why should he insist on wasting more effort?
Not to mention - one more tool is better than one less.In case he encounters a situation where he needs to race against time, this little iron rod is likely to play a decisive role.
Chu Liuxiang kept the Taoist priest's feelings in his heart, but he just said briefly: "Thank you."
In the future, he will always find a chance to repay his love.Chu Liuxiang thought to herself.
...Should...can you?
Thinking about the Taoist leader's ability, Chu Liuxiang suddenly became uncertain again.
Mo Qi grabbed Li Guanghan's wrist, glanced at the iron ring, put away the iron rod, and replaced it with a slender iron wire. Using the steps that Hu Tiehua couldn't understand, he used the iron wire to pick a few times lightly, from the black Many hidden weapons similar to the iron nails in Chu Liuxiang's hand poured out from the lacquered iron ring: "... There are hidden weapons in this iron ring, and those iron needles were indeed issued by General Li."
"General Li knew that his limbs were trapped when he went mad. If danger arises, he may be difficult to deal with. This iron ring is probably designed as a hidden weapon to prevent possible sneak attacks." Mo Qi put the iron nail back in case Li Guanghan came down. "It's just that, looking at the injuries on General Li's body, he has the desire to self-mutilate every time he goes mad. This iron nail has not been used on the enemy, but General Li used it to self-mutilate first."
"..." Hu Tiehua's mouth was wide open, and it hadn't been closed since Mo Qi unfastened the first iron ring lock on Li Guanghan's wrist.It wasn't until Mo Qi hugged Li Guanghan who had already unchained and stood up, that he turned his head stiffly, pounded Chu Liuxiang hard, and pointed to Mo Qi, "...!"
That means: Daoist Mo actually knows how to use tricks!
Chu Liuxiang made way for Mo Qi who carried Li Guanghan out of the cellar, and said helplessly to Hu Tiehua: "This will surprise you? During the time I was walking with Daoist Mo, not only did I find that he could use organs, Qihuang, female red He is also good at playing piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, wine, and scented tea. The ancients said that a gentleman has six arts, rites, music, archery, imperial control, calligraphy, and mathematics. He is good at all of them."
"He can even know female celebrities?!" Hu Tiehua and Chu Liuxiang walked at the end of the crowd, whispering to each other, "The Taoist priest is only at the age of the weak crown, and he already knows so much? ——Oh, yes, he can Boat ferry, Qimen Dunjia!"
Chu Liuxiang: "That's right. In the old days, when I was with the Taoist priest, I could discover one more advantage of him in almost every case we handled. Now that we know that he knows these things, we are already amazed. In fact, he might be able to do more. many."
Hu Tiehua couldn't help feeling emotional: "The murderer running around the city dared to call himself 'Pengshan Immortal'. I think the Taoist priest is the immortal from the sky who came down to earth..."
Gong Jiu, who was walking in front of the two, glanced sideways at Hu Tiehua, with that half-smile expression again, turned back without saying anything, and followed the person in front out of the cellar.
Hu Tiehua was furious for a while when Gong Jiu saw it, and she didn't dare to speak again.
He sneaked close to Chu Liuxiang, and transmitted the last and most important sentence: "Look, he can still coax the Ninth Young Master. Do you think he is a god sent by the sky to suppress the Ninth Young Master?"
Chu Liuxiang raised her eyebrows.
The two fox friends looked at each other, and they all showed their tacit and mysterious smiles of being a matchmaker...

Li Guanghan's injury was more serious than it looked.
Although the wounds on his body are all flesh wounds, they can be healed by raising them casually. If he is determined, Mo Qi can also use the same potion that he and Chu and Ji used for him, but it's not a big problem. The trouble was the wound on his head.
The external injuries have all been dealt with, but General Li's problem is definitely not the external injury, but the internal injury.
He is stupid.
Li Guanghan sat on the bed, staring straight at the quilt, motionless.There were circles of gauze wrapped around his head, making him look top-heavy and even more silly.
The flickering candlelight at night shone on his stiff and straight body, coupled with the layers of gauze that was wrapped in it, it looked like a dead rice dumpling.
"Master Mo, Hero Mo, please cure my general!" the old housekeeper cried and begged in the outer room.
After Li Guanghan woke up this time, he didn't know if it was because of the trauma to his head, he was stunned, as if he had lost his soul.Originally, his body was already extremely thin, but after this severe injury to his vitality, his complexion became even more depressed.Now sitting on the bed in a daze, he looked like a puppet in human form, and the old housekeeper fainted twice on the spot.
Seeing his appearance, Ji Bingyan couldn't get angry with him anymore, and also said that if there was anything he could do to help, he would do his best.
"Judging from the trauma, General Li shouldn't have such a serious reaction. But... forgive me," Mo Qi looked at the old housekeeper seriously, "Your General Li, have you ever taken any medicine during this period of time that can make you feel sick?" The kind that lifts people's spirits, or even overdos them?"
The old butler wanted to deny it, but seeing Mo Qi's serious eyes, he calmed down and recalled it carefully for a while: "...Really not, my general's daily spirit... Sigh." He sighed, " Now that things have happened, I am not afraid of you telling the truth, comrade-in-law."
"The night the general was seriously injured, I waited outside the gate of the mansion because I didn't wait for him to return. It was late at night, and there was no one on the street. I saw a person crawling slowly on the ground at the corner of the street. When I was there, I almost thought it was a ghost, but the lantern hanging beside the general's mansion illuminated his face."
"That's my general!" The old housekeeper's tears fell again, "I rushed over to help him up, but found that the clothes and flesh in front of him were all bloody due to the friction of crawling all the way. He was holding half a veil in his hand, and when he saw me, he said 'I'm sorry' and passed out."
"Half a veil?" Gong Jiu interrupted the old housekeeper, "What veil?"
"It should belong to a girl, and there is still some very faint fragrance on it... But it has long since disappeared." The old housekeeper wiped away his tears, "I'll go and show it to everyone."
The old butler probably kept the events of that night in mind all the time, and kept the veil carefully, and within a short while he took back the half veil, and was about to hand it to Mo Qi.
Halfway through the delivery, the old housekeeper remembered that he should have handed the clue to Prince Taiping first, but he quickly changed the direction of his outstretched hand: "This... I was confused, please take a look."
There was no pattern on the empty veil, except for the bloody handprints and sand that were probably left by Li Guanghan.
The white clothes on Gong Jiu's body are so clean that there is no trace of dust, and even the folds are neat. Seeing such a dirty handkerchief is naturally disgusting.He frowned slightly, and pushed the old housekeeper's hand in the direction of Mo Qi with the wind of his palm: "Show him the things directly from now on."
Mo Qi: "..."
He took the veil and unfolded it: "You haven't washed it all this time?"
The old butler nodded: "I'm afraid there will be some clues. The general forgot the veil when he woke up, so I gave the veil to the people below and asked them to investigate, only to find out that the veil was Dongying The fabric, the rest... nothing."
"Dongying?" Gong Jiu couldn't help but glance at Mo Qi again.
Mo Qi: "..."
Why do you always feel that Jiu Gongzi looks at him with deep meaning in his eyes?
He withdrew his attention and checked the veil carefully, but he really couldn't see anything: "There are broken lines in the cracks, and they are uneven. They should be torn apart violently. I can't be sure that it is the woman's veil... What kind of fragrance did you smell at that time?"
The old housekeeper: "It should be the fragrance of flowers, so I think it should be a woman's handkerchief... Before the night of my serious injury, for half a year, my general would go out immediately after eating dinner every night, saying that he was going to the beach. Going around, I don’t come back until late at night. I don’t think it’s because I and this woman... have a deep love for each other, so I go out every night and have a tryst by the sea.”
"As far as your general is now, it doesn't look like 'mutual love'." Gong Jiu said expressionlessly.
The old butler retorted: "But the general was seriously injured, and it wasn't that woman who did it! He went to the South China Sea, and it was always at night. Isn't this the time and place where the 'Pengshan Immortal' haunts most often? "
Gong Jiu sat down on the main seat in a leisurely manner: "You mean... Li Guanghan was seriously injured, and it was done by the 'Pengshan Immortal'. Then tell me, 'Pengshan Immortal' tore the veils of Li Guanghan and his lover to make it What? Why didn't the 'Pengshan Immortal' kill Li Guanghan?"
Gong Jiu didn't give the old housekeeper a chance to speak, and analyzed in a very methodical way: "According to the time when the body appeared, the 'Pengshan Immortal' was committing crimes before Li Guanghan was seriously injured. Coincidentally, at that time, it happened to coincide with That woman coincided with the time when Li Guanghan started their tryst. If I doubt it, that woman is the 'Pengshan Immortal', and they got to know each other precisely because Li Guanghan discovered the woman pretending to be the 'Pengshan Immortal' when she abandoned her corpse in the sea. Yes. Is this guess reasonable?"
Gong Jiu lifted his fan slightly, and stopped the old butler from opening his mouth: "After Li Guanghan was seriously injured, the 'Pengshan Immortal' did not stop committing crimes, which shows that this 'Immortal' was not seriously injured. Logically speaking If that woman is not a Pengshan Immortal, or Gu Nianxianxian, then why would the 'Pengshan Immortal' who was not seriously injured, hold back against Li Guanghan who had no power to fight back and was only short of the final blow? Your Li General, why do you still insist that the 'Pengshan Immortal' is nonsense when you clearly encountered the 'Pengshan Immortal' who took your life?"
"There are only two possibilities." Gong Jiu put down the fan in his hand, took a sip from the teacup in hand, "either, it's because, as I guessed, the woman your general has in mind is 'Pengshan' Immortal'. That's why that 'immortal' let your general go for no reason. General Li also knew that 'Pengshan Immortal' was the woman who had a tryst with him. That woman was clearly an ordinary person, not an immortal. Therefore, the theory of 'immortal' is nonsense."
"Either..." Gong Jiu gently covered the teacup.
The old butler was already impatient when he heard it, but the key point was that Gong Jiu's words were so well-founded that he couldn't hold on to believing Gong Jiu anymore.Now that I heard that there is a second possibility, I really don't want to believe that my general is an old housekeeper who fell in love with a poisonous woman, and hurriedly asked: "Either what?"
The teacup was slightly blocked by Gong Jiu's fingertips, and it was put back on the wooden table silently.
Gong Jiu: "Or, your general is this 'Pengshan Immortal'!"
·
·
The old butler was almost stunned by Gong Jiu's speech, and was comforted by Mo Qi and went into the inner room to take care of Li Guanghan. He didn't talk about what happened after Li Guanghan came back from the night he was seriously injured, but only gave a general outline.
In fact, there are no clues. It just said that after Li Guanghan returned to the house, he basically shut himself in the house behind closed doors. Even the food and drink were delivered to his door by the servants, and he took them by himself when there was no one else.After he recovered a bit, when he appeared in front of everyone again, he was still that thin and weak. The "sudden energy boost" that Mo Qi mentioned never appeared at all.
Gong Jiu's wrist was held down by Mo Qi, and Mo Qi didn't let go until the old housekeeper entered the room and couldn't hear their conversation.
Gong Jiu immediately teased: "Do you think you are fighting with the general of my Song Dynasty? Li Guanghan is not dead, but if he can't recover from his current state, I'm afraid he might as well be dead." Gong Jiu clapped his hands and said, "And every time there must be a foreigner involved in the case, Yumenguan is the Liao army, Hexi is the Xixia, and now it is in the South China Sea, it is Dongying..."
Gong Jiu nodded the folding fan in his hand: "Master Mo, with your fate, if you were allowed to go around the border of Song Dynasty, wouldn't you be able to pick all the neighboring countries around Song Dynasty? Pang Tong would not I'm bored every day in Hexi."
Mo Qi was suddenly blamed: "..."
"There is chaos in the border area, and it is normal for foreigners to take advantage of it." Mo Qi couldn't help but defend himself, "General Li won't be so sane all the time."
"He should have been hit in the brain, and..." Mo Qi hesitated, and said, "He also took some things that will affect the spirit, and the current situation happened through two pronged methods. Treat him After the wound is healed, I will prescribe a three-day medicinal bath for him, supplemented by internal force to revitalize the congestion in his brain. After the congestion dissipates, he will naturally return to normal."
"Things that affect the spirit?" Gong Jiu frowned.
Mo Qi paused: "...what?"
Gong Jiu put away his original joking thoughts: "Do you still need me to remind? Yumen Pass, a medicine mine. Hexi, Ruguo. Now that they have come to the South China Sea, it is this medicine that can affect the mind. Could it be that in this Pengshan case, there is also The figure of the shadow man?"
Mo Qi pondered for a while, then shook his head and said: "It shouldn't be. The things I mentioned are not as rare as medicine mines and milk fruits, and they are not only found in the South China Sea. If they are shadow people, why should they come to the South China Sea specially?" what kind?"
"Kind? What are you talking about?" Gong Jiu asked.
Mo Qi: "It's a kind of flower. It's beautiful, but also terrifying. The flower itself is not very poisonous, but if it falls into the hands of someone with a heart, it is even more terrifying and vicious than poison."
Gong Jiu: "What's its name?"
Mo Qi: "Its name is Poppy."
There was the sound of someone crashing into a wooden board in panic at the door of the house, followed by a cry of pain.
Ji Bingyan threw herself on the threshold, and twitched slightly in pain because the threshold was right on his injured leg.
Mo Qi quickly helped him back to the wheelchair: "Why are you here?"
After seeing Li Guanghan's appearance earlier, Ji Bingyan had already gone back to the house. What's the matter that made him, a guy who can't wait to stay in the house every day and enjoy life without seeing the sun, make a special trip here?
Ji Bingyan sat back on the wheelchair, but did not let go of the hand that was holding onto Mo Qi's wrist.The blood on his lips had faded from the pain of this heavy blow, and beads of sweat covered his face.But he didn't let out another cry of pain. Instead, he tightly held Mo Qi's wrist and stared at Mo Qi: "Go ahead! What poppy?"
Mo Qi saw Ji Bingyan's tenseness, so he didn't pull back his hand. He just followed Ji Bingyan's movement, bent slightly, let him grab his wrist, and continued: "The corpse of 'Sheng Xianke' in the South China Sea, He is emaciated and skinny. There are still many old and new wounds on his body. Judging from the strength and direction, they should all be left by self-mutilation. Coupled with the expression on it..."
Ji Bingyan's pupils shrank: "Poppy..."
Mo Qi nodded: "General Li should have been poisoned by poppies, so he did such a crazy move. But why did the Pengshan immortal spread poppies wantonly, kill these addicted people, and pretend to be 'Sheng Xianke' What does it look like? What is the significance of this move? Why does she have to contact General Li, and even have a tryst with him?"
Gong Jiu: "Because Li Guanghan just happened to encounter her abandoning her body at sea, in order to cover up this, he simply became a companion for an ordinary woman who traveled to the South China Sea at night..."
Mo Qi shook his head: "The sea is the best way to escape. Since she chose this place as a place to dump her corpse, she must be prepared. Even if she is discovered, she only needs to jump into the sea. The night is dark and dark. Where can General Li go to catch her?"
Gong Jiu took a few steps slowly: "You mean... Li Guanghan has something that Immortal Pengshan wants?"
Mo Qi nodded: "That's right, and she hasn't got it yet. This is the key reason why she let General Li alone."
Mo Qi lowered his head and said to Ji Bingyan, "I'm done talking. You came to see us, what do you want to say?"
"Chu Liuxiang said that he and Hu Tiehua seemed to have found a clue, and asked you to go to Zuichun Tower to find them." Ji Bingyan tried to take a few deep breaths, and slowly let go of the hand that was holding Mo Qi's wrist. arrive.
"You can ask the servant outside the room to bring the message." Mo Qi picked up Ji Bingyan's trouser leg, and checked his injured leg hit by the threshold, whether there is any tendon that was reattached after being injured again.
Ji Bingyan gritted her teeth and endured the severe pain in her leg: "I'll go too."
Mo Qi frowned: "You are seriously injured——"
Ji Bingyan said firmly: "I will go too. I have never heard the word 'poppy' since Shi Guanyin's death, but today, I heard it again. I can't leave as if I have never heard of it. Whether there are poppies in the South China Sea, I must find out."

Drunk Spring Building.
Mo Qi stood at the door, unable to move.
Gong Jiu had already stepped onto the threshold with brisk steps, and together with Ji Bingyan, watched Mo Qi's embarrassment.The old housekeeper pushed Ji Bingyan's wheelchair, frowned, and stood stiffly and awkwardly behind Ji Bingyan, with a vigilant expression on his face.
Ji Bingyan looked back at the old butler, and said with a smile, "Relax, don't be nervous."
The old butler kept staring at the people around him, whenever a woman was about to approach, he would immediately widen his eyes ferociously, with an expression of "If you dare to come over, I will bite you to death", it was more than drunk The girl in the Spring Tower is still like a girl.
The girls in Zuichun Building looked at the old housekeeper covering their lips and laughing, their eyes were full of narrow eyes, but no one really stepped forward to bully this frightened old man.
As for Mo Qi——
That would be different.
Even if Mo Qi stood at the door with a knife and a pestle in hand, he might not be able to stop the girls flocking towards him.
There were already two women in Tsing Yi with heavy make-up fighting against the crowd and snatching the opportunity to receive him.The two ran to Mo Qi's side nimbly like larks, surrounded him from left to right, each hugged Mo Qi's arm, and squeezed hard on Mo Qi.
Among them, the older one greeted: "You have been standing at the door for so long, why don't you come in, this... Daoist?"
The woman who greeted Mo Qi had a more attentive smile on her face.
Not to mention anything else, just according to Mo Qi's figure, appearance, and demeanor, if the two sisters can really take over this business, they will really take advantage of it!In addition, this handsome man is actually a Taoist priest...
The younger one, with spring water in his eyes, said delicately: "Is the Taoist really not going to sit in our Zuichun Building?"
Ji Bingyan has been furious and mad many times in front of Mo Qi on weekdays, but Mo Qi's reaction is basically indifferent.This time it was rare to see my boss, who was always as immobile as a mountain, at a loss, and his calm appearance was about to crack, and I couldn't help but feel very relieved: "Master Dao, hurry up and enter the door, Chu Liuxiang and Hu Tiehua are waiting upstairs. "
Mo Qi couldn't hear the ridicule in Ji Bingyan's tone, Ji Bingyan almost wrote the words "watching a good show" on his face.
He tried to pull his arm that was tightly hugged by the two girls, but he couldn't pull it out, so he had no choice but to give up, and said to the two who were still standing at the door watching his joke: "You guys go up first."
Gong Jiu crossed her arms, looked at Mo Qi's bound hands and feet, half of it was interesting, half of it was inexplicably uncomfortable: "If you don't plan not to enter the door."
Mo Qi was squeezed by these two little girls to the point of shrinking his arms and legs, his tall body seemed aggrieved at this moment, it's pitiful.He tried his best to avoid some fatal parts of the girl rubbing against him: "No, I'll follow in a while."
Gong Jiu gave Mo Qi a look of "see how you can solve it", and then went to find Hu Tiehua and the others together with Ji Bingyan who was being pushed by the old housekeeper, giving Mo Qi a buffer.
Seeing that the friends of the Taoist priest in black cloak had all left, the young woman in Tsing Yi quickly seized the opportunity and gave Mo Qi a soft look: "Prince Taoist, you—"
Mo Qi's internal strength was slightly lifted, and he pushed the two girls away forcefully and irresistibly.
The younger sister staggered a few steps back, and immediately gave her elder sister a wronged look.
The older woman was immediately displeased, and took her sister's hand: "Our sisters can see you——"
She's still waiting to say "it's your pleasure" or something like that.
Mo Qi: "Where is your bustard?"
Older woman: "... what?"
Mo Qi: "Let her come out and talk to me."
He took out a wad of banknotes.
Illuminated by the bright lights of the Zuichun Building, the plain paper of the bank notes seems to reflect the intoxicating color in a trance.
The two sisters suddenly gasped.
…………
In the private room of Zuichun Building.
Chu Liuxiang was surprised and said to Ji Bingyan: "You, you actually brought the Ninth Young Master together and left the Daoist downstairs?!"
"That's right." Ji Bingyan calmly raised his wine glass, sniffed it, frowned and said in distaste, "This wine is not good. If I had known, I would have brought a few altars of Four Seasons wine with me."
Chu Liuxiang didn't even bother with Four Seasons Wine anymore, he couldn't help looking at Gong Jiu's face several times out of the corner of his eye: "Why - why are you like this?"
His butt could hardly sit on the bench, and he almost wanted to get up immediately and go downstairs to "save" Mo Qi and come up.
Hu Tiehua also said with a full face of blame: "How can you do this? The Taoist priest is such a clean and self-sufficient person." After he finished blaming, he immediately raised his head and said to Gong Jiu who hadn't sat down yet, "Don't worry, Mr. Jiu, the Taoist priest is not such a person .”
Gong Jiu: "..."
What kind of person?
Ji Bingyan was puzzled: "..."
What's wrong with you two.
The two matchmakers were so worried that they wanted to drag Ji Bingyan aside and talk to him about the affairs between Gong Jiu and Mo Qi, so that he could see clearly how big a mistake he had made!
As the saying goes, ten temples are better destroyed than one marriage!
Ji Bingyan was puzzled by the eyes of the two friends, Zhanger Monk: "What are you talking about? If you are afraid that the Taoist priest will be eaten by the two girls downstairs, then I will go down with Li Steward and bring Mo Taoist priest up." Already." Ji Bingyan frowned, "But then again, Daoist Mo is not a child of twelve or thirteen years old, so you don't have to be so worried, right?"
Ji Bingyan was puzzled. Is Mo Qi's impression in the eyes of Chu Liuxiang and Hu Tiehua so unreliable and memorable?No way, that's his almost omnipotent and omnipotent boss?
Ji Bingyan fell into confusion with incomparable integrity.
Fortunately, before Chu Liuxiang really got up and went downstairs, Mo Qi had already opened the door and entered.
The two women in green clothes who were entangled with him and refused to let go, now stand behind him with their hands down respectfully.The expression on his face is also very respectful and well-behaved, like the two well-behaved fairy boys standing behind Xianjun, even the distance between him and Mo Qi is kept at a distance of not too far or too close. length.
"Dao, Daoist, this...?" Hu Tiehua stammered.
At that time, he and the old bedbug entered the Zuichun Building together, and he was dragged in by these two girls, so he knew very well how stalking these two delicate-looking girls really were.Can you see what they look like now?
Hu Tiehua took a deep breath: "It's terrible, Taoist priest, you have enlightened the two of them!"
Mo Qi: "...?"
what are you saying.
The older girl raised her head and smiled sweetly at Hu Tiehua: "That's right, Daojun turned my sister and me into fairies, and we will serve Daojun around from now on."
The younger sister also said softly: "Yes, yes."
Hu Tiehua just said it casually as a joke, but she didn't expect to be followed by someone, and she immediately laughed: "Even called 'Daojun'?"
The young one and his sister looked at each other, and burst out laughing, the branches trembling from the laughter.
Mo Qi said helplessly: "I just bought Zuichun Tower. Don't make such a joke."
Hu Tiehua's chest felt tight: "..."
Daoist, do you think it sounds like a joke to buy the entire Zuichun Tower with just one mouth?
The bamboo shoots picked up by Ji Bingyan's chopsticks fell into the bowl with a clatter: "What did you just say? What did you buy?"
Mo Qi: "Zuichun Tower."
Ji Bingyan's hands began to tremble slightly: "You—you might as well tell me that you donated [-] taels of gold to this Zuichun building, so that all the girls in it can be rehabilitated! You bought the Zuichun building, who will be there when the time comes?" To take care of it? If I manage a restaurant for you, I’m already so angry that I lose my hair every day and night, you—you still want me to manage the Chunlou for you?!”
Ever since Ji Bingyan met Mo Qi, it was difficult to maintain his stern look, and at this moment, his glaring look was like using all his expressions and gestures to question: "Do you still have a conscience? !"
Mo Qi was startled, and said casually: "But... maybe you can change this Zuichun Tower into a restaurant?"
Ji Bingyan's expression froze for a moment, and changed into a thoughtful look. He picked up the chopsticks again, picked up the bamboo shoots silently, and muttered something in his mouth. From time to time, he dipped his fingers in the tea and drew on the table. He has entered the state of his operation as the richest man in Lanzhou.
Mo Qi asked the two girls who sent him up all the way to go back, closed the door, and just now took a seat on the only empty seat beside Gong Jiu, and asked Chu Liuxiang, "What did you find here? We are specially asked to come here."
Chu Liuxiang put down the peanut in his hand: "Lao Hu and I found a girl from Dongying in this drunk spring building."
The old butler's body trembled.
A girl from Japan.
On the night when Li Guanghan came back from a serious injury, the handkerchief in his hand belonged to a woman from Dongying.
Hu Tiehua stopped joking, and said with a straight face: "After going out today, the old bug and I originally wanted to check if there was any place or thing about the 'Blue Bird' in the city. But after searching all day, we found nothing .”
"Walking around the whole city, we didn't even get any substantive information except that this 'Penglai Immortal' is very famous in Manli City now, and some people almost worship him as an immortal. What does she look like? Where does she live? Even if she is a Buddhist or Taoist fairy? People don't know at all. They only know that there is a fairy card at home, and if they worship her, they may be directly enlightened into a fairy and get rid of all the suffering in the world. , and enjoy the blessings of the fairy world forever."
Mo Qi frowned slightly.
He doesn't even know the roots of an immortal, so there is no such thing as a good thing that one can become an immortal by worshiping.
This sounds a bit like the way of a cult.
Hu Tiehua: "Manli City, the rumors of the 'Pengshan Immortal' have been spread all over the city. Maybe after a while, the whole South China Sea will know the deeds of this 'Immortal'. But this 'Blue Bird', but no one knows about it." Hu Tiehua spread his hands, "Except when you ask scholars and booksellers, you will be answered, 'Is there no way to go to Pengshan? Besides, we didn't see a bird's feather."
Chu Liuxiang continued Hu Tiehua's words: "That's right. People in Manli City only know 'Pengshan Immortal', but not 'Blue Bird'. In other words, Blue Bird is the only disguise that Pengshan Immortal has in front of General Li."
Ji Bingyan frowned, and said Mo Qi's conjecture before going out: "... From this point of view, Li Guanghan is really special to this 'Pengshan Immortal'. The Immortal of the Mountain' wanted to get it. That's why it took such a lot of trouble, and he specially fabricated a Japanese girl from "Blue Bird"
Chu Liuxiang stepped on a few hard things, moved her foot and looked: "Where are the nails on the ground?"
Chu Liuxiang picked up the thin iron nail and looked at it. The iron nail was so thin that it was not so much a "nail" as an iron needle with a nail cap at the end.He raised his head, looked at the surrounding walls and the ceiling, and indeed saw several such iron nails.
Hu Tiehua: "Looks like a hidden weapon?"
Chu Liuxiang moved his position, and made a gesture based on the angle at which the iron nail penetrated into the wall: "This iron nail was shot from General Li's position. Could it be his own hidden weapon?"
But what is General Li doing in this cellar with hidden weapons?Could it be that an enemy broke in before?
Mo Qi couldn't care whether the blood on the ground would stain his clothes, so he squatted down and turned Li Guanghan face up.
Li Guanghan looked like he was bleeding a lot, but his injuries were not serious.The blood on the ground not only flowed from the blow to his head, but most of it came from the several-inch deep cuts he made on his arms and legs with iron nails.
Fortunately, he couldn't bear to grab the ground with his head, and he did it after he had exhausted a lot of physical strength. Otherwise, if he followed this crazy method, he might kill himself with a single head.
Mo Qi: "Fix the old butler's acupoints. It's inconvenient to scrub and heal General Li in the cellar. He has to fetch water, wash the handkerchief, and decoct medicine... Let him ask the servants to help. .”
…………
The old housekeeper staggered down the cellar after Gong Jiu unlocked his acupuncture point.It was obviously the first time he went down to the cellar, and when he saw blood all over the floor, and Li Guanghan lying motionless in Mo Qi's arms, his head and body covered in blood, he gasped suddenly, his heart felt cold, and he sat down. He fell to the ground, crying all over the place.
"He's not dead, he's just exhausted and unconscious." Mo Qi comforted the old housekeeper, "Do you know where the key to this iron chain is?"
The old butler wiped away his tears, shook his head and said, "I didn't even know there was such a cellar in the general's room..."
"When I met General Li earlier, he was already wearing an iron ring. Maybe the iron chain can be taken off from the iron ring." Chu Liuxiang leaned over to look, "Look, it really is!"
Mo Qi raised Li Guanghan's right hand and saw that the junction of the iron ring and the chain was indeed as Chu Liuxiang guessed, it was not welded, but linked together with complex mechanisms.
"Otherwise let Xiao Yuandao come and try...ah, Young Master Jiu has already told you about this, right?" Hu Tiehua was halfway through talking before realizing that he was talking loudly again, and immediately glanced at Gong Jiu tremblingly .
Gong Jiu stood leisurely with arms folded, looked at Hu Tiehua with a half-smile, but didn't speak.
Hu Tiehua: "..."
Why do I have the illusion that Mr. Jiu is in a good mood now... No way, he was still annoyed before going out.
Mo Qi nodded: "I said it. There is no need to waste time."
If it weren't for Li Guanghan's urgent need for treatment, Hu Tiehua's suggestion was not bad, just to see how Tang Yuandao's organ skills are.But now Li Guanghan is still bleeding, the wound on his body has not been treated, and the wound on his forehead needs to be bandaged urgently, so Mo Qi simply did it himself.
Hu Tiehua looked at Mo Qi dumbfounded, and took out an iron rod slightly thicker than a needle with a pointed tip from his sleeve that seemed to hide the entire grocery store, and after a few provocations, the lock was snapped open up.
Even Chu Liuxiang was a little surprised.Chu Liuxiang, who is a bandit commander, can naturally deal with such a lock, but the tools in his hands are more complicated and delicate. How can he just pick it up with an iron rod like Mo Qi? How did he open it? Lock?
Mo Qi pulled out the iron rod that was poked into the lock, but the iron rod was not the same as it was before, but there were many fine teeth around it, which happened to be the mold of the key that can open the lock.Mo Qi stretched out his hand to press the end of the iron rod, Chu Liuxiang only heard a light click, and the teeth around the iron rod retracted immediately, and turned back to the original bare iron rod.
"This little thing is a novelty." Chu Liuxiang glanced at the iron rod, which seemed to have nothing special, with great interest.
He just said it casually, never thought that Mo Qi would pass the multipurpose key into his hand without even thinking about it: "Oh, no, that's not what I meant—"
Mo Qi lowered his head indifferently, flipped his hands over and took out an identical iron rod, and continued to unfasten several other iron ring locks: "It's okay. This thing doesn't cost materials, and it's easy to make."
Just take care.But compared to the Four Seasons Wine, which is labor-intensive and expensive, this iron stick is really nothing.
Chu Liuxiang didn't refuse anymore.In fact, he doesn't need the universal key, and he can pry the lock open, but it may take more time.But since he can have this time-saving tool, why should he insist on wasting more effort?
Not to mention - one more tool is better than one less.In case he encounters a situation where he needs to race against time, this little iron rod is likely to play a decisive role.
Chu Liuxiang kept the Taoist priest's feelings in his heart, but he just said briefly: "Thank you."
In the future, he will always find a chance to repay his love.Chu Liuxiang thought to herself.
...Should...can you?
Thinking about the Taoist leader's ability, Chu Liuxiang suddenly became uncertain again.
Mo Qi grabbed Li Guanghan's wrist, glanced at the iron ring, put away the iron rod, and replaced it with a slender iron wire. Using the steps that Hu Tiehua couldn't understand, he used the iron wire to pick a few times lightly, from the black Many hidden weapons similar to the iron nails in Chu Liuxiang's hand poured out from the lacquered iron ring: "... There are hidden weapons in this iron ring, and those iron needles were indeed issued by General Li."
"General Li knew that his limbs were trapped when he went mad. If danger arises, he may be difficult to deal with. This iron ring is probably designed as a hidden weapon to prevent possible sneak attacks." Mo Qi put the iron nail back in case Li Guanghan came down. "It's just that, looking at the injuries on General Li's body, he has the desire to self-mutilate every time he goes mad. This iron nail has not been used on the enemy, but General Li used it to self-mutilate first."
"..." Hu Tiehua's mouth was wide open, and it hadn't been closed since Mo Qi unfastened the first iron ring lock on Li Guanghan's wrist.It wasn't until Mo Qi hugged Li Guanghan who had already unchained and stood up, that he turned his head stiffly, pounded Chu Liuxiang hard, and pointed to Mo Qi, "...!"
That means: Daoist Mo actually knows how to use tricks!
Chu Liuxiang made way for Mo Qi who carried Li Guanghan out of the cellar, and said helplessly to Hu Tiehua: "This will surprise you? During the time I was walking with Daoist Mo, not only did I find that he could use organs, Qihuang, female red He is also good at playing piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, wine, and scented tea. The ancients said that a gentleman has six arts, rites, music, archery, imperial control, calligraphy, and mathematics. He is good at all of them."
"He can even know female celebrities?!" Hu Tiehua and Chu Liuxiang walked at the end of the crowd, whispering to each other, "The Taoist priest is only at the age of the weak crown, and he already knows so much? ——Oh, yes, he can Boat ferry, Qimen Dunjia!"
Chu Liuxiang: "That's right. In the old days, when I was with the Taoist priest, I could discover one more advantage of him in almost every case we handled. Now that we know that he knows these things, we are already amazed. In fact, he might be able to do more. many."
Hu Tiehua couldn't help feeling emotional: "The murderer running around the city dared to call himself 'Pengshan Immortal'. I think the Taoist priest is the immortal from the sky who came down to earth..."
Gong Jiu, who was walking in front of the two, glanced sideways at Hu Tiehua, with that half-smile expression again, turned back without saying anything, and followed the person in front out of the cellar.
Hu Tiehua was furious for a while when Gong Jiu saw it, and she didn't dare to speak again.
He sneaked close to Chu Liuxiang, and transmitted the last and most important sentence: "Look, he can still coax the Ninth Young Master. Do you think he is a god sent by the sky to suppress the Ninth Young Master?"
Chu Liuxiang raised her eyebrows.
The two fox friends looked at each other, and they all showed their tacit and mysterious smiles of being a matchmaker...

Li Guanghan's injury was more serious than it looked.
Although the wounds on his body are all flesh wounds, they can be healed by raising them casually. If he is determined, Mo Qi can also use the same potion that he and Chu and Ji used for him, but it's not a big problem. The trouble was the wound on his head.
The external injuries have all been dealt with, but General Li's problem is definitely not the external injury, but the internal injury.
He is stupid.
Li Guanghan sat on the bed, staring straight at the quilt, motionless.There were circles of gauze wrapped around his head, making him look top-heavy and even more silly.
The flickering candlelight at night shone on his stiff and straight body, coupled with the layers of gauze that was wrapped in it, it looked like a dead rice dumpling.
"Master Mo, Hero Mo, please cure my general!" the old housekeeper cried and begged in the outer room.
After Li Guanghan woke up this time, he didn't know if it was because of the trauma to his head, he was stunned, as if he had lost his soul.Originally, his body was already extremely thin, but after this severe injury to his vitality, his complexion became even more depressed.Now sitting on the bed in a daze, he looked like a puppet in human form, and the old housekeeper fainted twice on the spot.
Seeing his appearance, Ji Bingyan couldn't get angry with him anymore, and also said that if there was anything he could do to help, he would do his best.
"Judging from the trauma, General Li shouldn't have such a serious reaction. But... forgive me," Mo Qi looked at the old housekeeper seriously, "Your General Li, have you ever taken any medicine during this period of time that can make you feel sick?" The kind that lifts people's spirits, or even overdos them?"
The old butler wanted to deny it, but seeing Mo Qi's serious eyes, he calmed down and recalled it carefully for a while: "...Really not, my general's daily spirit... Sigh." He sighed, " Now that things have happened, I am not afraid of you telling the truth, comrade-in-law."
"The night the general was seriously injured, I waited outside the gate of the mansion because I didn't wait for him to return. It was late at night, and there was no one on the street. I saw a person crawling slowly on the ground at the corner of the street. When I was there, I almost thought it was a ghost, but the lantern hanging beside the general's mansion illuminated his face."
"That's my general!" The old housekeeper's tears fell again, "I rushed over to help him up, but found that the clothes and flesh in front of him were all bloody due to the friction of crawling all the way. He was holding half a veil in his hand, and when he saw me, he said 'I'm sorry' and passed out."
"Half a veil?" Gong Jiu interrupted the old housekeeper, "What veil?"
"It should belong to a girl, and there is still some very faint fragrance on it... But it has long since disappeared." The old housekeeper wiped away his tears, "I'll go and show it to everyone."
The old butler probably kept the events of that night in mind all the time, and kept the veil carefully, and within a short while he took back the half veil, and was about to hand it to Mo Qi.
Halfway through the delivery, the old housekeeper remembered that he should have handed the clue to Prince Taiping first, but he quickly changed the direction of his outstretched hand: "This... I was confused, please take a look."
There was no pattern on the empty veil, except for the bloody handprints and sand that were probably left by Li Guanghan.
The white clothes on Gong Jiu's body are so clean that there is no trace of dust, and even the folds are neat. Seeing such a dirty handkerchief is naturally disgusting.He frowned slightly, and pushed the old housekeeper's hand in the direction of Mo Qi with the wind of his palm: "Show him the things directly from now on."
Mo Qi: "..."
He took the veil and unfolded it: "You haven't washed it all this time?"
The old butler nodded: "I'm afraid there will be some clues. The general forgot the veil when he woke up, so I gave the veil to the people below and asked them to investigate, only to find out that the veil was Dongying The fabric, the rest... nothing."
"Dongying?" Gong Jiu couldn't help but glance at Mo Qi again.
Mo Qi: "..."
Why do you always feel that Jiu Gongzi looks at him with deep meaning in his eyes?
He withdrew his attention and checked the veil carefully, but he really couldn't see anything: "There are broken lines in the cracks, and they are uneven. They should be torn apart violently. I can't be sure that it is the woman's veil... What kind of fragrance did you smell at that time?"
The old housekeeper: "It should be the fragrance of flowers, so I think it should be a woman's handkerchief... Before the night of my serious injury, for half a year, my general would go out immediately after eating dinner every night, saying that he was going to the beach. Going around, I don’t come back until late at night. I don’t think it’s because I and this woman... have a deep love for each other, so I go out every night and have a tryst by the sea.”
"As far as your general is now, it doesn't look like 'mutual love'." Gong Jiu said expressionlessly.
The old butler retorted: "But the general was seriously injured, and it wasn't that woman who did it! He went to the South China Sea, and it was always at night. Isn't this the time and place where the 'Pengshan Immortal' haunts most often? "
Gong Jiu sat down on the main seat in a leisurely manner: "You mean... Li Guanghan was seriously injured, and it was done by the 'Pengshan Immortal'. Then tell me, 'Pengshan Immortal' tore the veils of Li Guanghan and his lover to make it What? Why didn't the 'Pengshan Immortal' kill Li Guanghan?"
Gong Jiu didn't give the old housekeeper a chance to speak, and analyzed in a very methodical way: "According to the time when the body appeared, the 'Pengshan Immortal' was committing crimes before Li Guanghan was seriously injured. Coincidentally, at that time, it happened to coincide with That woman coincided with the time when Li Guanghan started their tryst. If I doubt it, that woman is the 'Pengshan Immortal', and they got to know each other precisely because Li Guanghan discovered the woman pretending to be the 'Pengshan Immortal' when she abandoned her corpse in the sea. Yes. Is this guess reasonable?"
Gong Jiu lifted his fan slightly, and stopped the old butler from opening his mouth: "After Li Guanghan was seriously injured, the 'Pengshan Immortal' did not stop committing crimes, which shows that this 'Immortal' was not seriously injured. Logically speaking If that woman is not a Pengshan Immortal, or Gu Nianxianxian, then why would the 'Pengshan Immortal' who was not seriously injured, hold back against Li Guanghan who had no power to fight back and was only short of the final blow? Your Li General, why do you still insist that the 'Pengshan Immortal' is nonsense when you clearly encountered the 'Pengshan Immortal' who took your life?"
"There are only two possibilities." Gong Jiu put down the fan in his hand, took a sip from the teacup in hand, "either, it's because, as I guessed, the woman your general has in mind is 'Pengshan' Immortal'. That's why that 'immortal' let your general go for no reason. General Li also knew that 'Pengshan Immortal' was the woman who had a tryst with him. That woman was clearly an ordinary person, not an immortal. Therefore, the theory of 'immortal' is nonsense."
"Either..." Gong Jiu gently covered the teacup.
The old butler was already impatient when he heard it, but the key point was that Gong Jiu's words were so well-founded that he couldn't hold on to believing Gong Jiu anymore.Now that I heard that there is a second possibility, I really don't want to believe that my general is an old housekeeper who fell in love with a poisonous woman, and hurriedly asked: "Either what?"
The teacup was slightly blocked by Gong Jiu's fingertips, and it was put back on the wooden table silently.
Gong Jiu: "Or, your general is this 'Pengshan Immortal'!"
·
·
The old butler was almost stunned by Gong Jiu's speech, and was comforted by Mo Qi and went into the inner room to take care of Li Guanghan. He didn't talk about what happened after Li Guanghan came back from the night he was seriously injured, but only gave a general outline.
In fact, there are no clues. It just said that after Li Guanghan returned to the house, he basically shut himself in the house behind closed doors. Even the food and drink were delivered to his door by the servants, and he took them by himself when there was no one else.After he recovered a bit, when he appeared in front of everyone again, he was still that thin and weak. The "sudden energy boost" that Mo Qi mentioned never appeared at all.
Gong Jiu's wrist was held down by Mo Qi, and Mo Qi didn't let go until the old housekeeper entered the room and couldn't hear their conversation.
Gong Jiu immediately teased: "Do you think you are fighting with the general of my Song Dynasty? Li Guanghan is not dead, but if he can't recover from his current state, I'm afraid he might as well be dead." Gong Jiu clapped his hands and said, "And every time there must be a foreigner involved in the case, Yumenguan is the Liao army, Hexi is the Xixia, and now it is in the South China Sea, it is Dongying..."
Gong Jiu nodded the folding fan in his hand: "Master Mo, with your fate, if you were allowed to go around the border of Song Dynasty, wouldn't you be able to pick all the neighboring countries around Song Dynasty? Pang Tong would not I'm bored every day in Hexi."
Mo Qi was suddenly blamed: "..."
"There is chaos in the border area, and it is normal for foreigners to take advantage of it." Mo Qi couldn't help but defend himself, "General Li won't be so sane all the time."
"He should have been hit in the brain, and..." Mo Qi hesitated, and said, "He also took some things that will affect the spirit, and the current situation happened through two pronged methods. Treat him After the wound is healed, I will prescribe a three-day medicinal bath for him, supplemented by internal force to revitalize the congestion in his brain. After the congestion dissipates, he will naturally return to normal."
"Things that affect the spirit?" Gong Jiu frowned.
Mo Qi paused: "...what?"
Gong Jiu put away his original joking thoughts: "Do you still need me to remind? Yumen Pass, a medicine mine. Hexi, Ruguo. Now that they have come to the South China Sea, it is this medicine that can affect the mind. Could it be that in this Pengshan case, there is also The figure of the shadow man?"
Mo Qi pondered for a while, then shook his head and said: "It shouldn't be. The things I mentioned are not as rare as medicine mines and milk fruits, and they are not only found in the South China Sea. If they are shadow people, why should they come to the South China Sea specially?" what kind?"
"Kind? What are you talking about?" Gong Jiu asked.
Mo Qi: "It's a kind of flower. It's beautiful, but also terrifying. The flower itself is not very poisonous, but if it falls into the hands of someone with a heart, it is even more terrifying and vicious than poison."
Gong Jiu: "What's its name?"
Mo Qi: "Its name is Poppy."
There was the sound of someone crashing into a wooden board in panic at the door of the house, followed by a cry of pain.
Ji Bingyan threw herself on the threshold, and twitched slightly in pain because the threshold was right on his injured leg.
Mo Qi quickly helped him back to the wheelchair: "Why are you here?"
After seeing Li Guanghan's appearance earlier, Ji Bingyan had already gone back to the house. What's the matter that made him, a guy who can't wait to stay in the house every day and enjoy life without seeing the sun, make a special trip here?
Ji Bingyan sat back on the wheelchair, but did not let go of the hand that was holding onto Mo Qi's wrist.The blood on his lips had faded from the pain of this heavy blow, and beads of sweat covered his face.But he didn't let out another cry of pain. Instead, he tightly held Mo Qi's wrist and stared at Mo Qi: "Go ahead! What poppy?"
Mo Qi saw Ji Bingyan's tenseness, so he didn't pull back his hand. He just followed Ji Bingyan's movement, bent slightly, let him grab his wrist, and continued: "The corpse of 'Sheng Xianke' in the South China Sea, He is emaciated and skinny. There are still many old and new wounds on his body. Judging from the strength and direction, they should all be left by self-mutilation. Coupled with the expression on it..."
Ji Bingyan's pupils shrank: "Poppy..."
Mo Qi nodded: "General Li should have been poisoned by poppies, so he did such a crazy move. But why did the Pengshan immortal spread poppies wantonly, kill these addicted people, and pretend to be 'Sheng Xianke' What does it look like? What is the significance of this move? Why does she have to contact General Li, and even have a tryst with him?"
Gong Jiu: "Because Li Guanghan just happened to encounter her abandoning her body at sea, in order to cover up this, he simply became a companion for an ordinary woman who traveled to the South China Sea at night..."
Mo Qi shook his head: "The sea is the best way to escape. Since she chose this place as a place to dump her corpse, she must be prepared. Even if she is discovered, she only needs to jump into the sea. The night is dark and dark. Where can General Li go to catch her?"
Gong Jiu took a few steps slowly: "You mean... Li Guanghan has something that Immortal Pengshan wants?"
Mo Qi nodded: "That's right, and she hasn't got it yet. This is the key reason why she let General Li alone."
Mo Qi lowered his head and said to Ji Bingyan, "I'm done talking. You came to see us, what do you want to say?"
"Chu Liuxiang said that he and Hu Tiehua seemed to have found a clue, and asked you to go to Zuichun Tower to find them." Ji Bingyan tried to take a few deep breaths, and slowly let go of the hand that was holding Mo Qi's wrist. arrive.
"You can ask the servant outside the room to bring the message." Mo Qi picked up Ji Bingyan's trouser leg, and checked his injured leg hit by the threshold, whether there is any tendon that was reattached after being injured again.
Ji Bingyan gritted her teeth and endured the severe pain in her leg: "I'll go too."
Mo Qi frowned: "You are seriously injured——"
Ji Bingyan said firmly: "I will go too. I have never heard the word 'poppy' since Shi Guanyin's death, but today, I heard it again. I can't leave as if I have never heard of it. Whether there are poppies in the South China Sea, I must find out."

Drunk Spring Building.
Mo Qi stood at the door, unable to move.
Gong Jiu had already stepped onto the threshold with brisk steps, and together with Ji Bingyan, watched Mo Qi's embarrassment.The old housekeeper pushed Ji Bingyan's wheelchair, frowned, and stood stiffly and awkwardly behind Ji Bingyan, with a vigilant expression on his face.
Ji Bingyan looked back at the old butler, and said with a smile, "Relax, don't be nervous."
The old butler kept staring at the people around him, whenever a woman was about to approach, he would immediately widen his eyes ferociously, with an expression of "If you dare to come over, I will bite you to death", it was more than drunk The girl in the Spring Tower is still like a girl.
The girls in Zuichun Building looked at the old housekeeper covering their lips and laughing, their eyes were full of narrow eyes, but no one really stepped forward to bully this frightened old man.
As for Mo Qi——
That would be different.
Even if Mo Qi stood at the door with a knife and a pestle in hand, he might not be able to stop the girls flocking towards him.
There were already two women in Tsing Yi with heavy make-up fighting against the crowd and snatching the opportunity to receive him.The two ran to Mo Qi's side nimbly like larks, surrounded him from left to right, each hugged Mo Qi's arm, and squeezed hard on Mo Qi.
Among them, the older one greeted: "You have been standing at the door for so long, why don't you come in, this... Daoist?"
The woman who greeted Mo Qi had a more attentive smile on her face.
Not to mention anything else, just according to Mo Qi's figure, appearance, and demeanor, if the two sisters can really take over this business, they will really take advantage of it!In addition, this handsome man is actually a Taoist priest...
The younger one, with spring water in his eyes, said delicately: "Is the Taoist really not going to sit in our Zuichun Building?"
Ji Bingyan has been furious and mad many times in front of Mo Qi on weekdays, but Mo Qi's reaction is basically indifferent.This time it was rare to see my boss, who was always as immobile as a mountain, at a loss, and his calm appearance was about to crack, and I couldn't help but feel very relieved: "Master Dao, hurry up and enter the door, Chu Liuxiang and Hu Tiehua are waiting upstairs. "
Mo Qi couldn't hear the ridicule in Ji Bingyan's tone, Ji Bingyan almost wrote the words "watching a good show" on his face.
He tried to pull his arm that was tightly hugged by the two girls, but he couldn't pull it out, so he had no choice but to give up, and said to the two who were still standing at the door watching his joke: "You guys go up first."
Gong Jiu crossed her arms, looked at Mo Qi's bound hands and feet, half of it was interesting, half of it was inexplicably uncomfortable: "If you don't plan not to enter the door."
Mo Qi was squeezed by these two little girls to the point of shrinking his arms and legs, his tall body seemed aggrieved at this moment, it's pitiful.He tried his best to avoid some fatal parts of the girl rubbing against him: "No, I'll follow in a while."
Gong Jiu gave Mo Qi a look of "see how you can solve it", and then went to find Hu Tiehua and the others together with Ji Bingyan who was being pushed by the old housekeeper, giving Mo Qi a buffer.
Seeing that the friends of the Taoist priest in black cloak had all left, the young woman in Tsing Yi quickly seized the opportunity and gave Mo Qi a soft look: "Prince Taoist, you—"
Mo Qi's internal strength was slightly lifted, and he pushed the two girls away forcefully and irresistibly.
The younger sister staggered a few steps back, and immediately gave her elder sister a wronged look.
The older woman was immediately displeased, and took her sister's hand: "Our sisters can see you——"
She's still waiting to say "it's your pleasure" or something like that.
Mo Qi: "Where is your bustard?"
Older woman: "... what?"
Mo Qi: "Let her come out and talk to me."
He took out a wad of banknotes.
Illuminated by the bright lights of the Zuichun Building, the plain paper of the bank notes seems to reflect the intoxicating color in a trance.
The two sisters suddenly gasped.
…………
In the private room of Zuichun Building.
Chu Liuxiang was surprised and said to Ji Bingyan: "You, you actually brought the Ninth Young Master together and left the Daoist downstairs?!"
"That's right." Ji Bingyan calmly raised his wine glass, sniffed it, frowned and said in distaste, "This wine is not good. If I had known, I would have brought a few altars of Four Seasons wine with me."
Chu Liuxiang didn't even bother with Four Seasons Wine anymore, he couldn't help looking at Gong Jiu's face several times out of the corner of his eye: "Why - why are you like this?"
His butt could hardly sit on the bench, and he almost wanted to get up immediately and go downstairs to "save" Mo Qi and come up.
Hu Tiehua also said with a full face of blame: "How can you do this? The Taoist priest is such a clean and self-sufficient person." After he finished blaming, he immediately raised his head and said to Gong Jiu who hadn't sat down yet, "Don't worry, Mr. Jiu, the Taoist priest is not such a person .”
Gong Jiu: "..."
What kind of person?
Ji Bingyan was puzzled: "..."
What's wrong with you two.
The two matchmakers were so worried that they wanted to drag Ji Bingyan aside and talk to him about the affairs between Gong Jiu and Mo Qi, so that he could see clearly how big a mistake he had made!
As the saying goes, ten temples are better destroyed than one marriage!
Ji Bingyan was puzzled by the eyes of the two friends, Zhanger Monk: "What are you talking about? If you are afraid that the Taoist priest will be eaten by the two girls downstairs, then I will go down with Li Steward and bring Mo Taoist priest up." Already." Ji Bingyan frowned, "But then again, Daoist Mo is not a child of twelve or thirteen years old, so you don't have to be so worried, right?"
Ji Bingyan was puzzled. Is Mo Qi's impression in the eyes of Chu Liuxiang and Hu Tiehua so unreliable and memorable?No way, that's his almost omnipotent and omnipotent boss?
Ji Bingyan fell into confusion with incomparable integrity.
Fortunately, before Chu Liuxiang really got up and went downstairs, Mo Qi had already opened the door and entered.
The two women in green clothes who were entangled with him and refused to let go, now stand behind him with their hands down respectfully.The expression on his face is also very respectful and well-behaved, like the two well-behaved fairy boys standing behind Xianjun, even the distance between him and Mo Qi is kept at a distance of not too far or too close. length.
"Dao, Daoist, this...?" Hu Tiehua stammered.
At that time, he and the old bedbug entered the Zuichun Building together, and he was dragged in by these two girls, so he knew very well how stalking these two delicate-looking girls really were.Can you see what they look like now?
Hu Tiehua took a deep breath: "It's terrible, Taoist priest, you have enlightened the two of them!"
Mo Qi: "...?"
what are you saying.
The older girl raised her head and smiled sweetly at Hu Tiehua: "That's right, Daojun turned my sister and me into fairies, and we will serve Daojun around from now on."
The younger sister also said softly: "Yes, yes."
Hu Tiehua just said it casually as a joke, but she didn't expect to be followed by someone, and she immediately laughed: "Even called 'Daojun'?"
The young one and his sister looked at each other, and burst out laughing, the branches trembling from the laughter.
Mo Qi said helplessly: "I just bought Zuichun Tower. Don't make such a joke."
Hu Tiehua's chest felt tight: "..."
Daoist, do you think it sounds like a joke to buy the entire Zuichun Tower with just one mouth?
The bamboo shoots picked up by Ji Bingyan's chopsticks fell into the bowl with a clatter: "What did you just say? What did you buy?"
Mo Qi: "Zuichun Tower."
Ji Bingyan's hands began to tremble slightly: "You—you might as well tell me that you donated [-] taels of gold to this Zuichun building, so that all the girls in it can be rehabilitated! You bought the Zuichun building, who will be there when the time comes?" To take care of it? If I manage a restaurant for you, I’m already so angry that I lose my hair every day and night, you—you still want me to manage the Chunlou for you?!”
Ever since Ji Bingyan met Mo Qi, it was difficult to maintain his stern look, and at this moment, his glaring look was like using all his expressions and gestures to question: "Do you still have a conscience? !"
Mo Qi was startled, and said casually: "But... maybe you can change this Zuichun Tower into a restaurant?"
Ji Bingyan's expression froze for a moment, and changed into a thoughtful look. He picked up the chopsticks again, picked up the bamboo shoots silently, and muttered something in his mouth. From time to time, he dipped his fingers in the tea and drew on the table. He has entered the state of his operation as the richest man in Lanzhou.
Mo Qi asked the two girls who sent him up all the way to go back, closed the door, and just now took a seat on the only empty seat beside Gong Jiu, and asked Chu Liuxiang, "What did you find here? We are specially asked to come here."
Chu Liuxiang put down the peanut in his hand: "Lao Hu and I found a girl from Dongying in this drunk spring building."
The old butler's body trembled.
A girl from Japan.
On the night when Li Guanghan came back from a serious injury, the handkerchief in his hand belonged to a woman from Dongying.
Hu Tiehua stopped joking, and said with a straight face: "After going out today, the old bug and I originally wanted to check if there was any place or thing about the 'Blue Bird' in the city. But after searching all day, we found nothing .”
"Walking around the whole city, we didn't even get any substantive information except that this 'Penglai Immortal' is very famous in Manli City now, and some people almost worship him as an immortal. What does she look like? Where does she live? Even if she is a Buddhist or Taoist fairy? People don't know at all. They only know that there is a fairy card at home, and if they worship her, they may be directly enlightened into a fairy and get rid of all the suffering in the world. , and enjoy the blessings of the fairy world forever."
Mo Qi frowned slightly.
He doesn't even know the roots of an immortal, so there is no such thing as a good thing that one can become an immortal by worshiping.
This sounds a bit like the way of a cult.
Hu Tiehua: "Manli City, the rumors of the 'Pengshan Immortal' have been spread all over the city. Maybe after a while, the whole South China Sea will know the deeds of this 'Immortal'. But this 'Blue Bird', but no one knows about it." Hu Tiehua spread his hands, "Except when you ask scholars and booksellers, you will be answered, 'Is there no way to go to Pengshan? Besides, we didn't see a bird's feather."
Chu Liuxiang continued Hu Tiehua's words: "That's right. People in Manli City only know 'Pengshan Immortal', but not 'Blue Bird'. In other words, Blue Bird is the only disguise that Pengshan Immortal has in front of General Li."
Ji Bingyan frowned, and said Mo Qi's conjecture before going out: "... From this point of view, Li Guanghan is really special to this 'Pengshan Immortal'. The Immortal of the Mountain' wanted to get it. That's why it took such a lot of trouble, and he specially fabricated a Japanese girl from "Blue Bird"
