The Supreme Being

Meng Qi pulled out his long sword and waved it a little bit, pretending to be meditating on his sword skills.

After a while, a woman dressed as a Hu Niang stepped in. She looked ordinary, but she was young and youthful, so she was still somewhat attractive. Her chest was cut very low, showing her fatness.

"The fifth master, have you seen the fourth master?" She asked in a soft voice. The fifth master is handsome, much better than the fourth master, but it is always a little scary. He will do whatever he says and kill when he says. , before facing the terrifying Sunset Sea Butcher Wang Hong, he always drew his sword and struck without any warning or fear.

Although such a man would inevitably make me feel intoxicated and weak in the legs, I still felt a little more in awe and did not dare to get close to him.

Meng Qi frowned and said impatiently: "I didn't see it."

The female horse bandit was startled. She looked at Meng Qi who was carefully studying his sword skills and his handsome appearance with red lips and white teeth. She suddenly felt a little hot in her heart. She wanted to "swallow" him in one gulp, so she mustered up some courage. , the voice was so soft that it almost dripped with water: "Master Wu, when we arrived at Yuhai, everyone went to have fun, why don't you go out?"

"Sword practice." Meng Qi replied coldly.

"It won't take long." The female horse bandit walked towards Meng Qi slowly, and said more and more seductively, "Fifth Master, you are not old, have you tried what it feels like to be a woman?"

Meng Qi looked at her sternly and pointed his sword: "There are seven mistakes in your steps. Each of them can make me kill you with one sword. For example, here, here..."

As he spoke, he pointed out the long sword accordingly. The cold light was so intense and piercingly cold that the female horse bandit's fiery emotions disappeared. She looked embarrassed and frightened but tried to calm down and said: "My martial arts skills are sparse. Thank you very much for the guidance of Master Wu. I will go back and practice hard right away." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around and walked away in a panic, as if there was an evil ghost chasing her behind her.

"I didn't expect that pretending to be addicted to swordsmanship could scare them away..." Gu Changqing's face said that he had known better than before.

Meng Qi withdrew his sword and looked at him with a smile: "If it were you, I definitely wouldn't be able to do it."

This is purely determined by the current image that both parties have constructed for others. What you are really like is not important. What is important is what others think you are like. Are you bold, bold, cold, ruthless, or thin-skinned? Those who are good at rejection can use this image to "deceive" others as long as they deliberately establish an intuitive image through certain things.

Gu Changqing thought for a while and sighed in frustration: "You're right, if I do this, they will just pester me directly and say, oh, Fourth Master, your swordsmanship is awesome, come and give me some pointers, you hold Hold my hand and give me instructions slowly, if you knew I was acting cold and impulsive."

"It's too late." Meng Qi said with a smile. If you want to build an image, you have to build it from the beginning, so that it will be effective.

Then, he stood up and said to Gu Changqing: "Let's go find Zhong Yashe. You said this to him..."

Zhongya She had just had a big battle with Gong Shayue. He felt refreshed and slightly tired. He looked at the two new heads who came to the door and asked doubtfully: "Brother Xiao Meng, Brother Xiao Gu, do you have something to ask for?" we?"

"Chang Qing brought me here." Meng Qi looked cold.

Gu Changqing smiled and said: "Master, I just thought of something and need to prepare in advance, so I came to discuss it with you."

"What preparations should be made in advance?" Zhong Yashe was even more puzzled.

Gu Changqing smiled and said: "Aren't you ready to retreat, the master? If you catch the little bald donkey on the evil knife's pursuit order, and Yuan Mengzhi asks you to hand him over, will you hand him over or not?"

Thinking of how Meng Qi always betrayed him and ruined his image along the way, he gritted his teeth when he mentioned the words "little bald donkey".

Zhong Yashe took a breath and said, "It makes sense. Brother Xiao Gu makes sense."

Although I just came here with the idea of ​​trying my luck, what if my ancestors really had good deeds? Don't let luck come to your door but you can't control it, otherwise you will regret it!

This is inside Yuhai City, not the oasis or Gobi outside. Once you catch someone, you can immediately ride away. When the time comes, Yuan Mengzhi will definitely ask Bai Bazheng to block the city gate, so you must be prepared in advance.

"The little bald donkey is very strange and has great martial arts skills. If we want to catch him, we can only hope that Yuan Mengzhi severely injured him and did not catch him on the spot. The hope is really slim." Gu Changqing poured cold water on him and changed the topic. "But that doesn't mean we're going to come back empty handed."

"There is a mixed bag of fish and dragons in Yuhai City. This time, many horse teams have entered. It is like a pile of dry firewood. As long as there is a slight spark, it will immediately burst into flames and cause chaos. The little bald donkey comes to save people. It is such an opportunity. Master, we can take advantage of the chaos and make a vote. This Yuhai City is the most prosperous place in the sea, and there are countless wealthy families..."

Zhong Yashe's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he clapped his hands fiercely: "Brother Xiao Gu, our team lacks smart people like you!"

Gu Changqing began to establish the image of a military advisor and wise man, which was not inconsistent with his previous image. However, Xiao Meng, who was ready to draw his sword at any time, obviously did not fit this "image".

He stood up excitedly and paced back and forth. Yuhai was the core of the southern route. He had accumulated an unknown amount of wealth over the years. Although he would pay tribute to Zeluoju, Shenduliao and others, the remaining wealth also created a large number of people. The wealthy businessman, who had just become famous but failed, needs a lot of money to recruit new people. After all, not everyone is like brothers Xiao Meng and Xiao Gu, who are currently more focused on opportunities and reputation.

Of course, if you get enough wealth with one vote to live a happy life for several lifetimes, then everyone will get a share and stop being horse bandits!

Gu Changqing's lips twitched with a smile: "So, Master, we have to make preparations early and prepare an escape route early."

"It's yours." Zhong Yashe gave a thumbs up, "Let's find connections right now and prepare an escape route in advance."

"Master, you are a well-known figure in Hanhai. If you come forward on your own, it will easily attract the attention of others. It is not appropriate. Let me and Xiao Meng handle it." Gu Changqing quickly stopped him.

Zhong Yashe thought about it for a while, this is the truth. We are self-aware. There is no name in the vast sea, but among the "peers", he is also well-known. Not to mention others, Wang Hong will definitely monitor him. If the escape route is cut off in advance by someone who is willing to do so, you will be in big trouble.

He nodded: "Brother Xiao Gu, you and Brother Xiao Meng are acquaintances. There are advantages and disadvantages. You may not be able to find a local snake suitable to entrust this matter to you, and they may not be willing to believe you."

"Isn't it introduced by the master? As long as there is your token from the master, I believe they will accept it." Gu Changqing chuckled.

Zhong Yashe thought for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Brothers, I leave this matter to you. It is about the survival of the team. Don't mess up."

"Don't worry, Master." Gu Changqing said with a smile on his face.

Zhong Yashe nodded and said, "Go to the Lao Cao Hotel on West Street to find..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard Gu Changqing interrupt: "Thank you drunkard."

"You know?" Zhong Yashe looked at Gu Changqing in astonishment.

Gu Changqing smiled and said: "A few years ago, I once came to Yuhai with my elder. He told me that the Xie Jiugui in Lao Cao Hotel is the most impartial cover in this industry. Whether it is selling stolen goods and killing people, gathering information, or hiding and escaping. , as long as we negotiate with him, there will never be any betrayal. No matter whether the opponent is Zeluoju or Shen Duliao, he will strictly keep the secret. "

"Yes, Xie Jiugui has been here for more than ten years and has a mysterious background. Boss Luo and Shen Duliao are not willing to offend him easily." Zhongya Shehu lowered his voice, "It is rumored that Xie Jiugui himself is an outdoor scene worker. Great master..."

These words sound a bit familiar... Meng Qi thought with a frown.

After chatting for a while, Zhong Yashe took off a piece of jade from his neck. There were obvious cracks on it: "We once sold stolen goods to Xie Jiugui, so we have some friendship. If we take this piece of jade, he will recognize it at a glance."

When the two of them were about to go out, Zhong Yashe pulled Gu Changqing over and said in a low voice: "Xiao Meng is too reckless. You have to watch him carefully. If you are not afraid that you will be in danger and you need a good hand to follow you, I don't want him to go out. "

"Don't worry, Boss, Xiao Meng and I are not friends for a day or two anymore." Gu Changqing replied solemnly.

Well, it’s been ten days of friendship... Meng Qi’s ears twitched slightly, and he couldn’t help but cursed, after following him for a long time, Chang Qing also learned to lie.

With Zhong Ya extravagantly acting as an "endorsement", even if he thanked the drunkard for betraying them, others would not suspect the true identities of the two of them. At most, they would be regarded as the subordinates who planned the escape for the big boss.

After pressing their swords and going out, Meng Qi and Gu Changqing walked through several busy streets and entered West Street. The people here were obviously very shabby, their expressions were numb, and they were walking in a hurry.

Hanging the sign "Lao Cao Hotel" is a low mud house with about a dozen tables inside, which is dimly lit and extremely noisy.

Amid the sounds of guessing, laughter, and noise, Gu Changqing led Meng Qi through the crowd skillfully and walked to a square table in the corner. A man with bird's nest-shaped hair was lying there, smelling of alcohol and with a table in front of him. Put half a jar of wine.

"A few years have passed, but nothing has changed here." Gu Changqing said to Meng Qi with a smile, and then knocked on the table in front of him.

Xie Jiugui slowly raised his head and said in a vague voice: "If you have anything to say, just tell me. If you have nothing else, please leave."

He was unexpectedly good-looking. If it weren't for his unkempt appearance and the smell of alcohol, he would be considered a handsome man with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes.

"Send a dozen people safely out of the sea of ​​​​fish anytime, anywhere." Gu Changqing said in a low voice.

Xie Jiugui was silent for a moment and took a sip of wine: "Five thousand taels of silver, no price, pay two thousand in advance. If necessary, come here and tell me at least a quarter of an hour in advance. The remaining three thousand will be paid after the matter is completed."

Gu Changqing took out a small bag of gems and handed it to Xie Jiugui: "More than two thousand."

This is the extravagant "activity fund" given by Zhongya, and Meng Qi and Gu Changqing will certainly not be polite.

Xie Jiugui opened the bag and took a look. A smile finally appeared on his face, and he looked at Meng Qi and Meng Qi for the first time: "Hey, the ones with thin skin and tender flesh come from the middle, right? Or the snowy mountain oasis in the north?"

He didn't expect an answer at all, and continued drunkenly: "Then was there ever the 'first family in the vast sea'? Is Jiuniang still so beautiful and hot?"

When it came to Jiuniang, something was wrong with him. His tone was hot, his face was shining, and his eyes were gentle, like the boy he had a crush on at first.

No wonder it sounds familiar. The mysterious background and suspected location are the same as those of Qu Jiuniang! Meng Qi suddenly realized.
