Although the ground was relatively hard and it was not comfortable to lie down on, this was the most sound sleep Zheng Ze had ever had, until the sun shone through the half-open window lattice and onto the wooden floor of the room.
Opening his sleepy eyes, he saw Yan Lingji sitting beside her, with her legs crossed, her head supported by one hand, and a pair of beautiful eyes looking at her with interest.
"Are you awake?" she said.
Zheng Ze didn't feel comfortable with it and was a little surprised by Yan Lingji's attitude. He didn't think much about it, nodded and asked, "What time is it?"
I glanced out the window, and saw the warm sunshine reflecting the spring weather on the ground in March. This is the time when all things are full of vitality. The morning and noon sunshine mixes with the fragrance of vegetation, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.
"It's past nine o'clock." Yan Lingji said, then stood up and walked to the window, completely opening the half-opened window.
Following her movements, the warm sunlight spread all the way across the floor in the room, flooding Zheng Ze and making the room suddenly brighter.
He frowned slightly, he had slept for a really long time. After the initial discomfort, Zheng Ze stood up and heard Yan Lingji say.
"The people from Qijuetang brought breakfast, and I've already eaten it."
She pointed to the food boxes neatly arranged on the table, and then sat aside again, observing Zheng Ze silently.
She knew that when Zheng Ze watched her sleep before, he would always wake up occasionally at night. At this time, after a good rest, his complexion was much better than before.
Compared with the heaviness before, he now looks a little more energetic. If you look closely, you can see that this man is quite handsome!
For the time being, he didn't care what this woman was thinking, and Zheng Ze went to wash himself.
Qijuetang was used to entertain them. The location was quite good. Next to it was a shopping street with vendors on the street. Therefore, the people coming and going outside the window at this time gave people a lively atmosphere.
Thinking about it, this is also one of Qijuetang's industries. They rely on this place to collect some protection fees and so on. Although it is not a lot, it is a steady and steady business.
Sitting in front of the table, I opened the food box and saw that there were fish, meat, meat and vegetables.
"Their etiquette is quite considerate." Zheng Ze sighed with emotion.
Since he came here, he has never had such a sumptuous meal. Although he doesn't care much about appetite, he can eat more delicately, so who wants to eat bran-pharynx vegetables?
At this time, Yan Lingji came over, looked at him and said, "Then tell me, is this a courtesy for you or for me?"
"Damn it, why am I, a nobody, treated so politely by Qi Juetang?" He said while stuffing food into his mouth.
The food is hot and steaming.
Hearing this, Yan Lingji gave him a roll of her eyes, "It's boring, but you are not a nobody."
How can someone who can analyze the current situation in South Korea so thoroughly be an unknown person?
Zheng Ze didn't explain either. He said perfunctorily, "The girl is good-looking, so what she said makes sense."
Pouting her lips, Yan Lingji watched him devour the food. After last night's conversation, she was obviously ready to contact him in another way.
"I want to know, what are you going to do next?" she asked inquiringly.
Zheng Ze raised his head and gave her a strange look. This woman's temperament was really unpredictable. Before, she was as cold as ice and as domineering as flames. Now she feels as supple as water and gentle as fine fire.
"Whether it's Ji Wuye or Han Fei, we can't get in touch with them at the moment. Even if you are very powerful, you can't even make a splash if you throw yourself into their chessboard."
Regarding his statement, Yan Lingji's eyebrows moved slightly, but she didn't say anything.
"So the best way is to enter the situation in subtle ways. Poison Scorpion Gate is a good breakthrough point." Zheng Ze slowly explained to her.
Nodding slightly, Yan Lingji thought for a moment, "What about you? Why did you plan this from the beginning?"
Last night was just a joke to ease the tense atmosphere between the two. She would not really think that a man with such thoughts would make all kinds of plans just to win her heart.
Just as Zheng Ze was about to speak, the two of them heard a knock on the door. Then someone outside the door said:
"Master Qi invites Brother Zheng and Miss Yan Lingji to have a talk."
Zheng Ze and Yan Lingji looked at each other and slowly put down the chopsticks in their hands.
…
As the disciples of Qijuetang walked through the busy street, the number of people walking forward became noticeably sparse. They walked to the corner of the street and stopped in front of a large courtyard.
There are also people from Qijuetang in front of the door to greet you. The yard is very large, with vegetation, trees, rocks from other mountains, small bridges and flowing water. The scenery makes people unable to help but appreciate the beauty.
However, when we walked in front of an ancestral hall, the scene became less beautiful. There were many people lying on the open space on both sides, and they all appeared to be disciples of Qijuetang. There were also some blood stains scattered on the ground.
There were people nearby checking their injuries, and it seemed that some of them were seriously injured, but no one made a sound from the beginning to the end.
"Master Qi has prepared tea, please come forward."
A man walked out of the ancestral hall and said in a neither humble nor arrogant voice.
When he saw Tang Qi again, he was giving some instructions to the people on the side. When he saw him and Yan Lingji approaching, he sent them away.
Then a kind smile appeared on his pale face, "Brother Zheng, how was your rest last night?"
Zheng Ze smiled slightly and said, "Master Qi took care of you and you rested well. But it seems to me that you, Master Qi, didn't have a good rest?"
"Let me see the joke, little brother. Things in the hall have been busy recently, so I, an old man like me, have to move more." While greeting, he led the two of them to sit down.
Zheng Ze sat across from him at the table. As for Yan Lingji, she crossed her arms and looked around, not planning to get involved.
"Poisonous Scorpion Sect?" At this time, this is probably the only thing that can make Qi Juetang so busy.
Sure enough, Tang Qi nodded, "Last night, Poisonous Scorpion's people deliberately caused trouble. They ambush our people in the center of the city. Due to insufficient preparation, we suffered heavy losses. Those people outside, my little brother must have also seen it.
"
Zheng Ze looked at the scar on his forehead and nodded, "It seems the situation is not good!"
"Yes!" Tang Qi sighed, with a worried look on his face, "Since they embraced the noble man, they have become more and more arrogant recently. If they continue, I'm afraid we will have to give up the territory in the center of the city."
The land in the center of the city is not only an important source of income for Qijuetang, but once it is lost, it also means that Qijuetang can only be passive from now on, and it will be a matter of time before it is completely cannibalized.
When he said this, he was always paying attention to Zheng Ze's expression.
I thought about it for a long time last night, and if I can really get help from the two people in front of me, although it cannot reverse the situation, it can greatly alleviate the situation at hand.
I came to meet the two of them today with this in mind.
Zheng Ze nodded, "It's indeed troublesome."
Tang Qi's eyes flashed, but he still said: "What the little brother said last night..."
"I said some big words last night because I was eager to save people. Please don't take it to heart, Master Qi!"
Before Tang Qi could finish speaking, Zheng Ze rushed to speak.
I admit that I spoke a bit too loudly before, so please pretend you didn't hear me.
Tang Qi was a little stunned now. What do you mean by this? That's not what you said last night.
However, as a veteran who has been in the arena for so long, he quickly adjusted his mentality.
"I wonder what you mean by this little brother?" He put down the tea cup and said slowly.
He was still hesitating at first, but after thinking about it, he finally made up his mind to cooperate with the other party, but when he got such an answer, he was inevitably a little unhappy, but he didn't show it at all.
Nowadays, the situation in Xinzheng is complicated. Now that the Baiyue woman has woken up and has the ability to protect herself, he must not want to wade into this muddy water again.
"The man behind the Poisonous Scorpion Sect, I don't even tell you, but you know that he is begging for food on a third of an acre of land in Xinzheng, and it will be difficult for all of us if we offend him."
Zheng Ze tasted the fragrant tea in his hand and carefully considered his words before continuing: "And my... well, companion is being wanted from outside, so it's not easy for him to fight with others."
Hearing what he said, Tang Qi felt that he roughly understood what the other party meant, and suddenly regretted why he didn't agree on the spot last night, otherwise it wouldn't be like this now...
The good Qi-nurturing Kung Fu kept his expression calm. Although he felt a little unhappy, he still held his hand.
"I understand what I mean, little brother. This muddy water is indeed difficult to navigate. There is still a portrait of this girl on the official website, so little brother should be careful. However, Qi Jue Tang is in danger at this time, but as long as little brother is still
If you stay in the north of the city, nothing will happen."
Although the sale could not be completed, he still decided to sell his benevolence and righteousness.
But Zheng Ze shook his head, "Master Qi misunderstood. I said it was inconvenient for her to take action, but I didn't say there was no way for Qi Juetang to survive the current crisis."
