If it was a few months ago, Qin Xiao was still the jailer of Turtle City, and such a stunning little beauty wanted to follow him, Qin Xiao would laugh out of his dreams.
During his years in Turtle City, Qin Xiao's biggest wish was to save money to buy a good house, marry a beautiful daughter-in-law, have children for himself, and live a peaceful and carefree life.
However, Meng Zimo's unusually premeditated assassination forced Qin Xiao to flee.
He knew that although he was not short of money now and had even become a person whom Yuwen Chengchao valued highly, his situation was actually not that good.
Zhen Yujiang had half of his face cut open by himself, so he naturally hated himself deeply. Lang Shenshui, the most important staff member of the Zhen family, died in his own hands. If he could still live a swaggering life in Xiling, he would undoubtedly be beating the Zhen family.
Face.
As one of the three great clans in Xiling, the Zhen family must of course maintain their power in Xiling.
So once their whereabouts are known, the Zhen family will never let him go.
Although Yu Wen Chengchao promised to protect him and would protect him even if the Zhen family came to visit him, Qin Xiao knew very well that Yu Wen Chengchao's loyalty to him only represented him personally and did not represent the Yuwen family.
The decision-making power of the Yuwen family ultimately lies in the hands of Mr. Yuwen.
Even the three great clans will have conflicts in private, but as the heads of the three great clans, they all know that they are between the two powerful countries of the Tang Dynasty and Wutuo. If the Xiling clan cannot advance and retreat together, Xiling, which is already in an absolutely weak position, will only
If they can be reduced to fish meat, once there is a fight between the clans, Xiling will not even have the qualifications to negotiate with Datang.
Therefore, the three gates will definitely maintain harmony in terms of face.
If Uncle Meng, who plays an important role in the Yuwen family, really reveals his identity one day, Qin Xiao would find it hard to believe that Mr. Yuwen would quarrel with the Zhen family for him.
Gu Quan's relationship with the Zhen family can only be thrown out as an inconspicuous little person.
At that time, Yuwen Chengchao wanted to stop it, but was powerless.
Therefore, he has always been aware that his situation is still very difficult, and if he is not careful, he will be in a life or death situation.
Of course, Qin Xiao is very happy that a beautiful girl like Hanizi is willing to follow him, but the actual situation does not allow Hanizi to follow him. If something happens, Hanizi will definitely be implicated by him.
.
"You... don't like it?" Hanizi saw Qin Xiao's hesitation and thought Qin Xiao was unwilling, and his beautiful face suddenly felt a little disappointed.
Qin Xiao looked into Hanizi's eyes and said softly: "Of course it's not that I don't want to. You are so beautiful. If...if you can be with me, I will naturally be happy. But...I don't have it yet.
I have laid down the foundation, but I don’t know what the future holds. If you follow me, you may suffer a lot, or even be burdened...!"
"I'm not afraid. As long as you are not unwilling, I can follow you anywhere, even if you are wandering." Hanizi blinked his big eyes: "I am free now, and no one can stop me from going anywhere."
Qin Xiao thought that Hanizi even said these words, it seemed that he was really willing to be with him. He felt a little happy in his heart. After thinking for a while, he said: "Hanizi, you can't be with me now, but I
Promise you, as long as I really settle down, I will definitely look for you. You are in Jingjue country, and I will go to Jingjue to find you then. If you tell me where you live, I will definitely find you. If you are willing at that time,
I’ll take you wherever you want to go, do you agree?”
Hanizi lowered his head and thought for a while, then finally raised his head and asked, "Will I bring you any trouble if I follow you now?"
"No." Qin Xiao smiled and said, "You go back and visit your parents first. You also have a sister who was sold into slavery. Can you find her?"
"I don't know either." Hanizi said, "But I will look for it."
Qin Xiao said with a smile: "That's good. I'll give you some gold coins later. You take the gold coins back to find your sister so that she can regain her freedom. It won't be long before I go to find you and I will never break my promise."
He knew that the countries in the Western Regions were not like the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty used silver as currency, while the countries in the Western Regions used more gold coins. He now has a lot of treasures in his hands. He went to Baofenglong to sell them, and he would have the silver notes in hand when the time came.
, just exchange some gold coins for Hanizi to take back.
Hanizi shook his head hurriedly: "No, no, I don't want your gold coins. I...I'm not here to ask for gold coins from you."
"I know." Qin Xiao said hurriedly: "Don't get me wrong, I just want my sister to be free."
Hanizi looked at Qin Xiao with her beautiful eyes. Deep in her eyes, there was unconcealable gratitude. She asked softly: "Little Prince, why are you... so nice to me?"
"I told you before, I know what it's like to be alone with no relatives or friends." Qin Xiao thought of the deceased old man Zhong and smiled bitterly: "Losing a loved one is a pain that you and I have both suffered. We share the same disease, and I
Your relatives will never come back, but you still have a chance to reunite with your family. If I have a chance to help, I will naturally do my best."
Hanizi nodded, and Qin Xiao said: "You have your own place to live? How about this? Come to me tomorrow, I will give you the gold coins, and then you can go back to Xifeng Castle and go back with those merchants." There was a pause.
After a pause, he asked: "Do you think those businessmen are reliable?"
Hanizi said: "The eldest son said that there is no need to worry. They often come to Wutuo and have business dealings with the eldest son's family. They dare not not take the matters that the eldest son entrusted him to heart."
Qin Xiao also understood that although the elite Hu merchants were greedy, Hanizi was just a commodity in their eyes. These people had business with the Yuwen family, and Yuwen Chengchao personally told them that of course they could not be ruined because of Hanizi.
The sweaters worn by Tang people should be able to protect Haniz well.
"That's good." Qin Xiao said with a smile: "Then you come over tomorrow. Well, King White Wolf Khan is hosting a banquet tonight, and it may be very late. You may not be able to get up early tomorrow. You can just come over in the afternoon."
Hanizi shook his head and said: "I won't leave." He looked at Qin Xiao and said, "You have allowed me to be free. I...I will return to Xifeng Castle in two days, but...can you
If I stay with you for these two days, I can take care of you for two days."
"Haniz, I...!"
"If you don't agree, I will be very sad." Hanizi looked at Qin Xiao, his beautiful eyes were like water: "Please agree to me."
Qin Xiao sighed. He could understand Hanizi's mood. In Hanizi's view, his kindness to her was too great. She came to White Wolf City alone just hoping to do something for herself. If she refused,
, but made her feel uneasy.
Yuwen Chengchao knew about Hanizi's existence, so he was not worried about others knowing about it.
Naturally, it would be impossible for Hanizi to live with him. However, there are many places to live in the Libin East Courtyard. It is not difficult for someone to arrange a place for Hanizi. After all, she lives alone elsewhere, so it is better to live in the Libin East Courtyard.
Safety.
Allowing Hanizi to live in the Concierge Courtyard will at least make Hanizi feel more comfortable.
"Do you have any other luggage?" Qin Xiao asked.
Hanizi shook his head.
"Then I'll have someone arrange for you to move in." Qin Xiao said: "You can see me these two days, but you have to promise me that you will return to Xifeng Castle in two days, and then return home with the Jingjue merchants.
."
Hanizi showed a bright smile and nodded.
It was really easy to go to the Concierge House and arrange for someone to go in. Qin Xiao came forward. Someone took Hanizi in. Qin Xiao thought about the two letters in his arms and thought that he should follow Tang Rong's words and put the two letters in.
Give it to Yuwen Chengchao as soon as possible.
When they arrived at Yu Wen Chengchao's residence, Yu Wen Chengchao was not in the courtyard. After asking, Yu Wen Chengchao went to Shopkeeper Bai's place. Qin Xiao thought that this was just right. After Tang Rong came back, she naturally went to Shopkeeper Bai's place.
Bian, go over by yourself and hand the letter to Yuwen Chengchao in front of Tang Rong. Then Tang Rong can still prove that she has not read these two letters.
When they arrived at Shopkeeper Bai's courtyard, they saw Shopkeeper Bai and Yu Wencheng sitting opposite each other. There was a chess set on the table between them, and they were playing chess.
But Tang Rong was not seen.
Qin Xiao walked over and both of them looked over. When Yuwen Chengchao saw Qin Xiao, he smiled and asked, "What treasures did you find?"
"Those treasures are treasures in the eyes of others, but in the eyes of you two, they are just like wasteland." Qin Xiao smiled and stepped forward. Yu Wencheng motioned to Qin Xiao to sit down beside him and said: "Just now, it was nothing."
King Wolf Khan has sent someone over and asked all of us to go to the Khan’s Palace for a banquet tonight.”
Qin Xiao said with a smile: "King Khan is hosting a banquet, so naturally he wants to feast on his appetite." After thinking for a while, he finally took out two letters and handed them to Yuwen Chengchao in front of shopkeeper Bai.
He knew that there was no need to hide this matter from Shopkeeper Bai. Tang Rong was Shopkeeper Bai's foster daughter. Tang Rong discovered these two letters in the treasure house. Naturally, Tang Rong would not hide this from Shopkeeper Bai. It was just a matter of saying it early and saying it later.
Seeing that Yu Wencheng was stunned, Qin Xiao knew that Tang Rong had not informed these two people about the secret letter.
"What's this?"
"An underground secret room was discovered in Qifushan's mansion." Qin Xiao said: "In addition to many treasures, these two letters were also found in the underground secret room. However, there was no money left on the outside of the letters, and Sister Rong and I never opened them. It's just this
Since the two letters are hidden in a secret room underground, they must be unusual. Sir, please take a look and see what they are."
At this time, I heard footsteps and looked back. I saw Tang Rong carrying a tray with two cups of tea on it. She squatted down, put down the tray first, and then placed the two cups of tea next to Yuwen Chengchao and Shopkeeper Bai.
, then asked Qin Xiao: "Do you want some tea? I'll make you some tea."
Qin Xiao shook his head and said, "No, Sister Rong is too polite."
Wutuo people don't like to drink tea, just like people in the Tang Dynasty are not used to drinking milk tea. However, the East Courtyard of the Concierge is meant to entertain guests from the east, but it has tea. The Wutuo servants don't know how to make good tea. Tang Rong only then
Do it yourself.
Yuwen Chengchao found two letters and naturally recognized one old and the new. He put the new one aside first and took out the letterhead from the old letter. His expression was calm at first, but after a few glances, his expression changed drastically.
, instantly became cold and gloomy, and even showed murderous intent in his eyes.
