"Master, there are many secretive people nearby. They seem to be monitoring Ruotiao Tower."
Qing He knelt on one knee, and not far in front of him, Shu Li was sitting, sipping tea.
Shu Li put down the teacup in his hand leisurely, "If he wants to see it, just let them see it. As long as it doesn't cross the line, it's not impossible to see. But if it crosses the line, it's not impossible."
Shu Li didn't say anything, and Qinghe also understood what Shu Li meant.
"Also, has the news been conveyed?"
"The news has reached the master's apprentice. Besides, he is very good."
Shu Li glanced at Qing He and saw that the corner of his clothes was cut open, "Have you ever fought with him? Who won?"
"It's just two moves, and there is no winner." Qinghe then added, "But my subordinate thinks that, at least for now, he can't beat me."
Shuli smiled softly.
She was not interested in who won or lost, she just asked casually.
What's more, Wei Zhuang is still in the growing stage. Like Gai Nie, he has not yet reached his peak.
Moreover, Shuli was very curious about whether Gai Nie would appear in the battle in Guigu soon, and who would win.
At least Wei Zhuang's previous martial arts skills were almost on par with Gai Nie's due to her training.
He even beat Ge Nie quite a bit in several sparring sessions.
But every time Wei Zhuang defeated Gai Nie, Gai Nie would become stronger the next time they sparred, and then he would win again, and then lose again, and then he would win again and the cycle starts all over again.
Shuli began to doubt whether Genie was the son of fate.
Even Shu Li's senior brother was surprised by Gai Nie's growth and believed that if it weren't for Shu Li, Gai Nie would definitely become the best in the world with his talent in martial arts.
There are traces of Wei Zhuang's growth. He was forced to make progress due to Shu Li's beating.
But there was too much talk about Gai Nie's growth. He could even grow in battle and turn defeat into victory, which even stunned Shu Li.
If Yan Lu, the second division commander in the future, will be stronger when encountering strong forces, then Ge Nie will be even stronger when encountering strong forces. He will always be able to counterattack.
Wei Zhuang also admired Gai Nie but was not convinced.
Tonight the stars twinkled, there was no cloud in the sky, the snow-white moonlight shone on the flying curtains of the Purple Orchid Pavilion and the petal-filled courtyard, accompanied by the noisy sound coming from the front hall, giving people a hazy feeling of confusion.
feel.
However, compared with the front hall, the backyard of Zilanxuan is much quieter.
Except for the servants who come regularly every day to clean the fallen leaves, almost no one comes here.
The backyard is not that big. It is a courtyard with a stone table and a pond. However, there is a sycamore tree in the courtyard that has been growing for many years. Its branches and leaves have climbed past the high wall and spread densely in the courtyard.
"She wants to see us? Then why only tell Brother Wei Zhuang? Me."
Han Fei looked careless at this time and was dissatisfied that Shuli only told Wei Zhuang the information but not him.
So what if Brother Wei Zhuang is a high disciple of Guigu? Isn’t Shuli also his little master?
Wei Zhuang just raised his eyes and glanced at Han Fei lightly, then told Han Fei to shut up.
Zi Nu on the side covered her mouth and smiled softly, looked at Wei Zhuang and said, "She came to Xinzheng again?"
Another meaning is: Why did Shuli come to Xinzheng again?
Wei Zhuang shook his head slightly. He didn't know either, and he only knew that Shuli had arrived in Xinzheng.
But what surprised him was that Shuli actually sent a message and wanted to invite them to get together at [Ruotiao Building].
Wei Zhuang didn't know what Shu Li meant, but he thought that this banquet was definitely not as simple as that person said.
"Just say it's an invitation."
"If it's just an invitation, I can understand why I invited Brother Wei Zhuang and Brother Han." Zhang Liang glanced at the two of them, then at Zi Nu and Nong Yu, "Why would you invite Miss Zi Nu, Miss Nong Yu, and so on?"
With me, we shouldn’t know each other, right?"
Zi Nu also looked at Wei Zhuang, but when she saw Wei Zhuang nodded, she suddenly realized something and asked, "Her? Many years ago."
Wei Zhuang said "hmm".
Many years ago, Wei Zhuang borrowed money from Shu Li in order to seek medical treatment for Zi Nu.
At that time, the purple girl still had black hair. Although it was not jet black and beautiful, at least it was not the mysterious purple hair she has now.
Later, because she had purple hair and always wore purple clothes, everyone called her "Purple Girl".
Over time, she herself also acquiesced in this name.
Zi Nu also fell into silence.
It can be said that without Shu Li’s generosity many years ago, Zi Nu would not be able to sit here today.
Zinu came back from her thoughts and turned around to find that almost everyone was staring at her.
"It seems that Miss Zi Nu has some unknown past." Han Fei leaned towards Zi Nu and deliberately joked.
Zi Nu showed a charming smile and stared at Han Fei, "What? The young master is very interested in my past?"
Han Fei looked at the purple girl with a smile like a flower, and couldn't help but feel a chill on his back, and hurriedly waved his hands.
"No, no! Miss Zi Nu has misunderstood. I never ask about other people's past." Han Fei smiled and explained, "I'm just curious, Miss Zi Nu knows her."
"I know her, I don't know her either." Zi Nu said ambiguously, obviously not wanting to continue on this topic.
Nongyu saw this and said, "If Mr. Zhang was born in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Sister Zinu is the owner of [Purple Orchid Pavilion], and she also knows that person."
Nong Yu pointed at herself and said doubtfully, "But I am just a little Le Ji in [Zi Lan Xuan]. Logically speaking, that person cannot know me. Why is my name also on the list?"
Everyone forgot to look at each other, just as Nong Yu said.
The others were either from well-known families or had some relationship with Shu Li, so it was understandable that Shu Li would invite them.
Although Nongyu came from Baiyue Huoyu Villa, Baiyue has been destroyed long ago, and now she is just a silent Le Ji in [Purple Orchid Pavilion].
With Shuli's identity and status, it is impossible for her to pay attention to such a little Le Ji.
"It can only be said that she knows all of us very well, far better than we know her." Wei Zhuang said, "The [Business Alliance] does business all over the world, and it is not just as simple as doing business. Their
Eyes and ears are spread all over the world.”
"Brother Wei Zhuang means that Zilanxuan may also have their eyes and ears?"
Zhang Liang frowned slightly, then looked at Zi Nu carefully, and when he saw her frowning slightly, he knew that there might really be someone from the [Business Alliance] in Zi Lan Xuan.
"But we are not enemies yet, are we?" Han Fei said suddenly, "Instead of thinking too deeply, it would be better to think about what gifts to bring to the door."
Everyone thought.
Also, instead of worrying unfoundedly, it is better to think about the banquet in half an hour.
At this moment, Wei Zhuang suddenly stood up and walked straight out of the house without leaving a word of greeting.
Han Fei raised his eyebrows, looked at Zi Nu and said, "Is he going out to prepare gifts?"
Zi Nu didn't say anything, just responded with a shallow smile.
