Of course, Hua Qi was most curious about Zuo Feng's secrets, but he couldn't ask directly at the moment. After all, on the night of the competition, he only participated in the second game, and he had no chance to see what happened next.
.
The reason why he knew what happened in the third game was because a young man in the last game was his friend. He knew very clearly what happened that night, so he made up his mind to figure it out.
A plan to assassinate and plunder people.
The appearance of Zuo Feng made him feel guilty, and he also didn't know how to deal with it. However, Hua Qi was an important figure in the painter after all. After thinking and analyzing, he finally decided to talk to Zuo Feng face to face. If he avoided
Not seeing him would be tantamount to admitting that he was guilty, and would even make more people suspect that he was the instigator behind the assassin.
What he didn't expect at all was that Zuo Feng would ask about the purpose of inviting him that day at the beginning, which he was unprepared for before.
But if Hua Qi could calm down and think, he should consider that the other party would ask about these things. He did have a tacit understanding with the Su family that night in the competition. This was before the content of the competition in Linshan Villa was finalized.
Plans that have been completed.
Although Su Lan planned to invite Zuo Feng, she did not make up her mind in the process of weighing the whole matter. In the end, after thinking about it, Hua Qi put forward a series of suggestions and took the initiative to ask Zuo Feng, which prompted the decision.
Su Lan finally decided to let Zuo Feng come.
After Zuo Feng agreed, there was no need to discuss everything, but the final development of the matter was beyond everyone's expectations, and it ended up with no results.
Now Zuo Feng's question didn't seem so abrupt, or it seemed a bit logical for him to question Hua Qi like this.
Listening to Hua Qi's high-sounding words, Zuo Feng continued with a smile: "But before I went there, everything seemed to have been finalized. In addition, the other participants knew about the competition to recruit a bride, and it seemed that I was the only one who knew nothing about it.
Is this the attitude you say you have towards your friends?"
Hua Qi was stunned for a moment, and then said: "You also know. Although I know some, they are just rumors. If I am talking about things that I am not sure about, how can I tell you these."
Having said this, Hua Qi picked up the tea cup next to him and took a slow sip. This action seemed a bit artificial, but it was a common method used by people from these aristocratic families. He seemed to have not finished his words as he picked up the tea cup like this.
It seems to give yourself a buffer time, but at the same time, it also allows you to move to the next topic smoothly.
Sure enough, after Hua Qi put down the tea cup, he said: "There have been too many things that happened in the past two days, and my mind was a little overwhelmed for a while. It is not an exaggeration to forget some things for a while. I think Mr. Shen should
You won’t blame me, right?”
Zuo Feng's eyes narrowed slightly, and when he heard what he said, he planned to speak. But just as he opened his mouth, Hua Qi waved his hand with a warm smile, not giving Zuo Feng a chance to speak, and continued on by himself.
Said: "I think Mr. Shen is certainly not such an unreasonable person. He shouldn't be able to let go of this small mistake. Besides, you directly destroyed the entire training platform in our training ground before. This
I have never held you accountable for this matter."
Hua Qi was talking eloquently, and by this time he had completely grasped the direction of the conversation. Zuo Feng had encountered this technique for the first time. Although Amber understood some things in this regard, among the people he had met before,
But no one like Huhuaqiwan was so clean and neat, steering the topic in the direction he wanted without leaving any trace at all.
After listening to what Hua Qi said, Zuo Feng couldn't continue the previous topic even if he wanted to. When he brought up that topic before, it was entirely to make Hua Qi feel wronged, and Zuo Feng would take the lead in the next conversation.
.
This is a bit similar to a fight between two people. In front of an opponent of equal strength, tricks and tricks are pale and powerless. The only way to win is to use every means to take the initiative.
Once you seize the initiative, you will control the rest of the battle, just like toying with your opponent. Not only can you defeat your opponent with minimal losses, but you can also avoid the enemy's counterattack before your death.
.
The conversation between Zuo Feng and Hua Qi was friendly on the surface, but secretly everyone was competing with each other, trying to get the other party to negotiate at their own pace.
Although there were several pauses in the previous words, Hua Qi connected the several paragraphs perfectly, making it impossible for Zuo Feng to interrupt. Now Hua Qi stopped completely and gave up the right to speak again.
He left it to Zuo Feng, but this time he threw the question back.
At this time, Zuo Feng continued the previous questioning, which was not only shameless, but also looked down upon. At the moment, the two of them still maintained a polite attitude, that is, both sides maintained a rule, and
Or there is a tacit understanding that neither of us will mess around.
If Zuo Feng is acting recklessly regardless of his face, then Hua Qi will definitely no longer need to save face for his opponent. Zuo Feng is not a fool, so naturally he will not make such a mistake.
Looking at Hua Qi with a warm smile on his face, there was a hint of pride and contempt in that smile, as if he could hear the ridicule in his heart. He, a young man from the mountains, actually wanted to play negotiation in front of a young man from an aristocratic family.
, it’s simply humiliating oneself.
Zuo Feng just took a deep breath and said loudly: "To be honest, the problem in the training room was indeed caused by me accidentally. I admit this and also express my most sincere apology to you.
.”
A trace of surprise flashed across Huaqi's smiling face, and then the smile became even brighter and he said: "Didn't I just say that you accidentally caused damage? I didn't pay too much attention to your details before the invitation. Both of us have
If there are any mistakes or omissions, just expose them."
On the surface, he looked indifferent, but he was secretly happy in his heart. Although the young man in front of him had good combat experience and knowledge, he still had little experience after all, so he would make such a mistake in the negotiation.
You can't miss such a free bargain, but you can't make it too obvious.
With this thought in his mind, Hua Qi spoke again: "Actually, what Mr. Shen said makes some sense. I just forgot about the marriage competition and didn't tell you in advance. It's not a big mistake.
.But the training platform in my training room, you must know that the price of the tranquilizing stone is not comparable to that of ordinary training platforms."
As he spoke, Hua Qi's hands began to rub together unconsciously, and his face looked like that of a profiteer. Seeing his expression, Zuo Feng had every chance to interrupt, but Zuo Feng looked indifferently.
He looked at the other person without any intention of taking the words away from him.
This scene made Amber extremely anxious. He had noticed something was wrong with the direction of the wind before. After Hua Qi used a few small tricks, all the initiative was in his hands. Zuo Feng was indeed inferior to his opponent in this aspect, but he didn't know
Why did Fang Cun make a stupid move in such a chaotic situation, and follow the steps of the seven strokes step by step? This is completely the rhythm of falling into someone else's trap.
Even if you are not a discerning person, you should have seen that this is a critical moment. If you don't think of any solution at this time, the other party will definitely open your mouth.
Sure enough, while Amber was thinking, Hua Qi had already spoken. He was not prepared to give Zuo Feng any time to react. This was also a good time for him to take advantage of the victory and pursue the attack.
He stroked the armrest of the chair with his right hand, tapping it with his index finger, and said at the same time: "Actually, it's nothing, but Linshan Villa has always been one of the most mysterious places in the entire empire. If I can know even a little bit about it,
If it's secret, then nothing else matters. If the information obtained is valuable, then we painters will not be stingy and will definitely give you a satisfactory return."
While Hua Qi was talking, he looked at the old man next to him. The old man didn't hesitate and took out a brocade parcel from his arms. The parcel was placed heavily on the coffee table at hand. It sounded so
The weight is not light, and most of them contain valuables such as gold cakes.
Amber was not happy at all when he saw this, but looked at Zuo Feng anxiously. If there were gold cakes in the package, it would probably be worth no less than 10,000 gold coins. With such a high price, what you want to get will never be simple.
Some information will definitely involve extremely secretive matters.
If Zuo Feng reveals some of the secrets of Bieyuan, and the situation is true, then there will definitely be an uproar. Although everyone wants to know the secrets of Bieyuan, if the person who gets it is a painter, there is nothing to reveal.
Zuo Feng will definitely be severely punished by the empire.
If the disappearance of the leak is false, the situation will be even more dangerous, because that will give the artist an opportunity to take action directly. At that time, even if he goes too far, others will not be able to find reason. As a painter, he will definitely be criticized.
He actually sold fake news for the benefit. It is strange that he could let the other party go.
Hua Qi calculated over and over again, but he didn't expect that things would develop so smoothly. In just a few words, he forced Zuo Feng into a corner. He now gave Zuo Feng two choices, but both of them would lead to inevitable death.
No matter how you choose Zuo Feng, you are falling into your own hands.
Just when Hua Qi's smile became brighter and his fingers tapped faster and faster, Zuo Feng reached into his arms and slowly took out a linen package.
If you just look at the cloth of the package, I am afraid that some people will believe that it is filled with stones. But how could Zuo Feng take out a package of stones at this time and here, but what exactly is it? Painting July 1st, it was really
Can not guess.
I saw Zuo Feng gently placing the package on the coffee table next to him, and a series of crisp metal collision sounds came from inside. It seemed that what Zuo Feng took out was actually an item like a gold cake.
