In fact, Lu Ning was a little surprised that the trouble had reached this level. She didn't expect Ye Guming to be so face-saving and stubborn.
But thinking about it on the other hand, he really knew nothing about what was going on in this gang. He must have calculated that he was being taken advantage of without even knowing it.
Fortunately, today's words have had the effect of knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger. I just need to wait and see what happens in secret.
After the brothers dispersed and began to perform their duties, Lu Ning walked out of the meeting hall with a heavy heart.
"Miss Deer!" A clear voice sounded.
Lu Ning suddenly raised his eyes and caught Hu Qi's clear eyes. Looking at the gentle smile on his face, he couldn't help but be startled.
"Master Hu, is there something wrong?" Lu Ning asked softly.
Hu Qi came over waving a folding fan and said with a wry smile: "Miss Lu, why do you look so serious? You've finished your business, can't you relax a little?"
Lu Ning reluctantly curled up the corner of his mouth and spoke softly, with a bit of sadness: "Hey, it's not that easy to relax. Before you have a clue about one thing, another thing appears again."
Hu Qi smiled slightly and said mysteriously: "In that case, how about I take you to relax. Just now, Boss Xiao sent an invitation and wanted to invite us to listen to the show."
In fact, Xiao Yulou's invitation only invited Hu Qiyi to go to the theater, but Hu Qi just heard the quarrel between Ye Guming and Lu Ning, and saw that Lu Ning looked bad, so he wanted to invite her to go with him.
But Lu Ning lowered his eyes and sighed: "I'm sorry, I'm not in the mood to go to the theater today, and... I don't like to go to the theater. I accept Boss Xiao's kindness. Young Master should go alone."
After saying that, she turned and left.
"Wait!" Hu Qi stopped her and comforted her softly: "Since you're not going, then I won't go either. In fact, I'm not in the mood to watch a show today. How about I go drinking with you?"
Lu Ning declined with a troubled face: "Master Hu, I know you want to comfort me. Thank you for your kindness, but now I just want to be alone for a while, I'm sorry."
Hu Qi twitched the corner of his mouth, with an embarrassed look on his face, and could only watch Lu Ning leave.
Lu Ning walked back to her room thoughtfully. Passing by Ma Huilan's room, she saw that her window was half open and half closed.
She glanced casually and saw Ma Huilan combing her hair in the mirror. She turned back from time to time and looked at the door, as if she was waiting for someone to arrive.
Lu Ning didn't take it to heart and went back to his room.
Just two hours ago, Xiao Yulou had just finished the show and turned around to return to Fengyang Tower.
In the side room, he sat in front of the bronze mirror, carefully removing the paint from his face, and a face as handsome as the autumn moon was gradually revealed.
Wearing a white watersuit, he stood up slowly, walked to the lyre and sat down gracefully. He stretched out his long and slender fingers and gently played with the strings a few times, and raised the corners of his mouth inadvertently.
Since meeting Hu Qi, he felt that he had lived again and no longer lived in a hazy life like before. He began to enjoy every scene and looked forward to every performance on stage, always looking forward to Hu Qi appearing in the next scene.
People in the audience watched her singing affectionately.
A knock on the door suddenly interrupted his thoughts, and Xiao Yulou said coldly: "Come in!"
The door was pushed open, and a boy walked in cautiously, bowed and said with a smile: "Boss Xiao, the Ma Gang sent you a short note."
Xiao Yulou didn't even raise his head, he just said calmly: "Bring it here!" After saying that, he spread out his left hand.
The boy ran over quickly and put the neatly folded note in his hand.
Xiao Yulou asked coldly: "Where is the person who sent the letter? Has he gone back?"
The boy bent down and said with a smile, "No, they are still downstairs, waiting for your reply!"
Xiao Yulou nodded, thinking it was Hu Qi's reply, and casually opened the note.
When he saw the contents of the note, he immediately dropped his face, tore the note into pieces, and said solemnly: "Go and tell them that I am not free!"
The boy was slightly startled and was about to persuade him when he saw Xiao Yulou's face was ashen and his eyes were cold, so he had no choice but to
Bow and exit.
The bright moonlight shines on the window paper, and a layer of white frost appears on the ground.
Xiao Yulou stood tall and tall in front of the window, wearing a white gauze dress that was blowing gently in the evening breeze.
When he was moved, he softly chanted:
It turns out that the colorful flowers are blooming everywhere, but they are all abandoned by the ruined wells and ruins.
Good times and beautiful scenery are in the sky, and whose home is the pleasure?
Flying in the morning and rolling in the evening, clouds and green pavilions are seen. Raindrops and wind flakes, mist and waves paint boats.
The people of Jinping think that this time is so mean!
At this point in the song, Hu Qi's figure slowly emerged again.
Xiao Yulou was both happy and sad. He was upset for a moment and couldn't help but feel sad secretly. However, a sudden knock on the door interrupted his thoughts again.
Xiao Yulou turned around and stared at the door, shouting angrily in a cold voice: "Who is it? What's going on?"
The trembling voice of the boy came from outside the door: "Boss Xiao, the people from the caravan have a note for you!"
Xiao Yulou walked over angrily with a cold face, opened the door, stretched out his hand and said coldly: "Bring it here!"
The boy held the note and put it in her hand. Xiao Yulou slammed the door and turned around to open the note.
He took a quick glance at it, tore it into pieces again, and cursed angrily: "***! It's really the best *** in the world!"
The knock on the door came again, and the boy said in fear: "The caravan people are still waiting for your reply!"
Xiao Yulou kicked the door hard and shouted angrily: "Go and tell them I'm not free, so stop bothering me!"
The night is soft, the moon shadow is hazy, and the flowing silver is slanted.
Xiao Yulou turned back to the room, exhaled, and blew out the lights. He sat alone in the darkness, staring at the lyre in a daze.
He was missing Hu Qi, his every smile, every singing voice, every posture, every word he said to himself was so touching, and his lonely heart was baptized several times.
Only now did Xiao Yulou realize that there was another person with the same soul as himself in this world. But now, two similar souls met together in the vast sea of people!
He slowly walked to the window, opened it and looked deeply at the night scene outside the window, unable to help but be lost in thought.
Another urgent knock on the door sounded, more pressing than the previous two.
But Xiao Yulou just stood there, motionless, and let the boy knock on the door loudly.
After a while, the anxious shout of the waiter suddenly came: "Boss Xiao, wake up quickly! The people from the caravan are not willing to let you go, and they want you to come over! If you don't go, they will destroy this store!"
"
However, no one responded to him inside the door, so the boy became anxious and started banging on the door.
The door was suddenly pushed open, and Xiao Yulou was seen walking out the door wearing a long robe, a frosty mask, and holding a long sword. He shouted solemnly: "Why are you knocking? If you are so scared, you should report it to the official! It really can't be done.
They fight hard!"
The boy was so frightened that he knelt down with a bang and begged for mercy anxiously: "Boss Xiao, just go there! We are all in small business, it's not easy. If you cause trouble,
We have no business left, so please be merciful! Besides, the caravan has a good relationship with the prefect, so who dares to report it to the official!"
Xiao Yulou stood there angrily, gnashing his teeth as he looked at the groveling young man, wishing he could stab him with his sword and kill this wimp.
After a long time, he asked angrily: "I have lived in your restaurant for so long and I have never treated you badly. Why do you want to help the villain and push me into the pit of fire?"
The boy was suddenly speechless, and lowered his head a little unreasonably, not daring to look at him, and his face turned from white to green.
"What do you mean by pushing into a fire pit? Are the caravans hanging murder knives?"
Just at this moment, a big man with a rough expression and thick eyebrows strode upstairs.
He walked to Xiao Yulou and stood in front of him, looked at him with evil intentions, and asked disdainfully: "Looking at your figure, you must be Xiao Yulou!"
Before Xiao Yulou could answer, the boy on the side quickly smiled flatteringly and said: "Exactly, exactly! This is the famous
Boss Xiao!"
Xiao Yulou raised his eyebrows and glared at the young man with anger bursting out of his eyes.
The boy was so frightened that his whole body trembled, he immediately shrank his neck and stepped aside wisely.
He looked at the visitor coldly and said arrogantly: "Are you from the caravan? Why haven't I seen you before?"
The big man curled up his lips, smiled, pointed at the sword in his hand, and teased: "There are so many people in the caravan, and Boss Xiao doesn't go there often, so he has seen them everywhere! However, you are carrying a sword, you are preparing
Are you going to kill someone, or are you going to commit suicide?"
Xiao Yulou gently stroked the sharp blade and hummed: "You can kill people or commit suicide! The sword is in my hand, I can use it however I want!"
The big man crossed his arms and looked at him calmly: "I advise Boss Xiao not to try these two methods. First, you can't beat me. Second, since you can't kill me, I won't let you commit suicide!"
Xiao Yulou looked at him coldly and said solemnly: "So, you are planning to take me away by force?"
The big man laughed and said: "The people above have told me that I will never take action against you. So I won't use force, I just bring something to you!"
Xiao Yulou rolled his eyes at him and said coldly: "What is it?"
The big man took out a small box and opened it in front of Xiao Yulou. There were ten golden ingots inside.
The big man pointed at Jin Yuanbao and smiled contemptuously: "Boss Xiao, if you are willing to go over, this will be your reward!"
Xiao Yulou glanced at Jin Yuanbao and sneered: "You want to use this little gold to bribe me? Who do you think I, Xiao Yulou, am?"
The big man raised his lips and said sarcastically: "You sell and sing all day just to make a living, so why bother with money? Moreover, if you don't choose money, then I will have to take you there by force. Then you will lose both life and wealth."
Got it!"
Xiao Yulou looked at Kong Wu's powerful man, hesitantly stretched out his hand, took out the gold ingot, weighed it in his hand, and mocked: "The person above you is really generous!"
The big man chuckled: "The people above also want me to bring you something: Hu Qi is currently living in the caravan. If Boss Xiao is willing to come over today, we will keep him for a few more days, so that you can have more time to talk to him.
See him! If you refuse to show your favor today, I’m afraid this Mr. Hu will leave Lingzhou immediately!”
Xiao Yulou frowned slightly, the determination in his eyes flashed away, leaving only a look of dejection.
He sighed deeply and said sadly: "Okay, I'll go with you!"
The big man laughed, clapped his hands and praised, "Boss Xiao really knows what's interesting!"
