Chapter 29
Chapter 29
The Zhuhe Teahouse is located in the middle of the busiest area on Linan Street, so there is no shortage of business, but right now the teahouse is empty, there are only a dozen or so tables on the second floor, and only the outermost one sits on the side. people.
Qi Wu went upstairs under Feng Mo's lead, opened the door curtain, and saw Shang Fuheng himself who occupied the whole floor by himself.
This God of War, who has fought in the South and North for many years, must be used to blood and blood on the battlefield. He seems to like to wear almost white robes.The first time I saw it, I was dressed in plain clothes, but this time I changed into a different style and details, but the color is not bad.
Anyway, Shang Fuheng didn't open his mouth to speak, and Qi Wu didn't bother to take the initiative to talk, so he looked at Shang Fuheng's appearance and clothes, and then made a rough conclusion that this person must be very troublesome.
Qi Wu was wearing a veiled hat, Shang Fuheng couldn't see his expression clearly, but seeing him standing at the entrance without speaking or walking over, Shang Fuheng also remained silent with great interest.
Let's see who is more silent.
Poor little servant Feng Mo, he is very confused when he sees this.
After a while, with a bit of vigilance and irritability, Qi Wu raised his foot and walked straight towards Shang Fuheng's table, and took the initiative to sit down on the seat opposite Shang Fuheng without saying hello.After sitting down, Qi Wu didn't intend to speak up, he just came over because he was tired from standing at the door.
Shang Fuheng laughed lightly, then raised his hand and waved Feng Mo back: "Go and watch outside."
Feng Moba didn't want to go outside, so he hurriedly responded when he heard the words, and withdrew obediently.
"It's okay if you can't talk, let's have a cup of tea first?" Shang Fuheng said in a leisurely tone, and when he said this, he really picked up the teapot, turned over a new teacup, poured a cup of tea and pushed it in front of Qi Wu.
"After all, it's in the name of inviting you upstairs for tea. I can't just talk and do nothing. I'm the last person to talk nonsense, but it's different from your liking for nonsense."
Listening to Shang Fuheng's words, Qi Wu under the veil lightly blinked his eyes.
...Sure enough, there were not so many coincidences, this Shang Fuheng was just idle and bored and really investigated him as a suspect.
How much did you find?
If Shang Fuheng had sent people to follow and watch him from the day we first met... Then his actions in and out of the station, as well as his identity...
After coming, Qi Wu pondered, and finally said the first sentence since he went upstairs, with a very gentle tone: "His Royal Highness, please worry about it, I have offended you a lot a few days ago, and please forgive me."
Qi Wu is very good at such formalities, otherwise he would not have been able to fool Liu Lu and Xie Jingxing so easily before.Especially Xie Jing Xing, who later almost regarded Qi Wu as a fan of the "His Royal Highness of the God of War, Great Zhou Kingdom Support Club", Qi Wu took the opportunity to quietly get a lot of desired information from him.
Say something vain, socialize!
"If I haven't seen you before, just listening to your tone of voice, you really look like a good and polite boy." Shang Fuheng commented slowly, then changed the subject, and his smile became more obvious, "It's just , have you forgotten what you said earlier?"
You are a good boy, your whole family is a good boy, especially the emperor's nephew who will kill you in the future is a good boy!
The slander belongs to the slander, Qi Wu bent his lips, still gentle and gentle: "What did I say?"
Shang Fuheng has a good memory, and relayed to Qi Wu: "Didn't you say on that day that I deliberately made things difficult for you, and that it was not enough to carry the name of King Lang, so I dared to pretend to be King Lang? How come this time, It’s honestly admitted.”
Hearing this, Qi Wu, who was not surprised, replied unhurriedly: "It was my fault that time, and I knew that I was wrong, but at that time I was busy with other things to do, so I couldn't stay longer, so I just I can presumptuously pretend not to recognize him, but just want to get away as soon as possible, I hope His Highness will forgive me."
"Oh, what if I don't forgive you?" Shang Fuheng said.
Qi Wu then raised his hand to pick up the cup of tea in front of him: "Then I will replace the wine with tea, and apologize to Your Highness..."
Shang Fuheng interrupted Qi Wu's words with a sneer, and at the same time smoothly took a thin pestle from the tea drinking utensil at the side, and pressed it directly onto the cup of tea in Qi Wu's hand, stopping Qi Wu from wanting to drink Tea move.
"Mr. Qi, you are not thin-skinned. It seems that such words as replacing wine with tea should not come from the mouth of the apologetic." After Shang Fuheng finished speaking, he casually threw the fine pestle back into the utensil.
The strength of Qi Wu's hand holding the teacup suddenly increased, and he hesitated before slowly putting down the teacup.
Just like Qi Wu didn't intend to hide that he knew that the person sitting across from him was His Royal Highness Lord Lang, God of War, Shang Fuheng also didn't hide his knowledge of Qi Wu's true identity, so he naturally called out "Mr. Qi" .
Qi Wu pursed his lips: "May I ask, how does Your Highness know my surname?"
The corners of Shang Fuheng's lips raised slightly: "It's true, it's just because I was too presumptuous to let my subordinates secretly follow Mr. Qi for a few days."
"How many days?" Qi Wu followed up and asked.
If he doesn't die until the Yellow River, Qi Wu must know the truth.After all, Shang Fuheng knew that he was a member of the Qi clan, and Shang Fuheng knew that he was a member of the Qi clan who escaped from the post station and the team of envoys sending his relatives to the emperor by feigning death. There is a difference between the two things.
Shang Fuheng also cooperated very kindly: "It seems that after the first meeting on the street, it will start on the third or fourth day. However, my subordinates are not capable enough, and there was no sign of Mr. Qi in the first two days. on."
Qi Wu's hand under the table relaxed slightly... As long as he didn't follow him the day he met him for the first time, his identity might not have been known.
"However..." Shang Fuheng followed closely, "Fortunately, the inn caught fire later, and Mr. Qi appeared in the market again, so that my subordinates would not turn back in vain."
His hands clenched again suddenly.
Shang Fuheng specifically mentioned the fire at the post station, the meaning was very clear, it was to say to him "I know you are a member of the Qi clan who was going to enter the palace".
After a while, Qi Wu relaxed instead.It's better to talk about it than to hide it and beat around the bush.
Shang Fuheng didn't directly call Liu Lu to arrest him, so the matter wasn't too bad.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for clarifying the confusion." Qi Wu was still very polite, "I think the border of Da Zhou is indeed safe enough, otherwise, His Highness wouldn't be able to be so leisurely in Licheng."
Shang Fuheng ignored Qi Wu's weird words, just looked at the veil on Qi Wu's head, clicked softly, a little dissatisfied: "Take it off."
Qi Wu blinked: "What?"
Shang Fuheng said again: "I don't talk to shameless people."
Qi Wu: "..."
Shang Fuheng's patience suddenly ran out, coincidentally, Qi Wu is not a patient and good-tempered person.
"The person who spoke just now is your schizophrenia?" Qi Wu retorted.
However, these words touched Shang Fuheng's blind spot of knowledge: "schizophrenia?"
After thinking about this word, Shang Fuheng laughed again: "It's a good word."
As for Qi Wu's sudden loss of gentleness and obedience, Shang Fuheng didn't care.
After complimenting this word, Shang Fuheng stared back at Qi Wu's veiled hat again: "Take it off, or I will send you to the National Temple."
Liu Lu and those people are still in the Guosi.
In fact, the matter of praying for the empress was originally only planned for eight days, and Liu Lu and the others should have left according to the initial plan.But didn't he come back to the post station to deal with "Qi Wu"'s funeral? It was delayed for two days. As the deputy commander in front of the palace, Liu Lu had to make up for the two days in the national temple, so he hasn't left yet.
It's just that Shang Fuheng's words can't scare Qi Wu.
Qi Wu is a bit rebellious, he can worry about himself, but if others use his hidden worries to threaten him, that's not okay.
"Don't take it off." Qi Wu's brows sharpened, "If you want, you can naturally tie me to the National Temple, but before you tie me up, remember to poison me first, so as not to make me talk nonsense and tarnish Your Highness's reputation , anyway, your highness has seen my ability to talk nonsense."
"You're so rude, aren't you afraid that the king will kill you directly?" Shang Fuheng said, casually touching the folding fan placed on the table.
Now it's "the king" again.
Qi Wu pursed his lips: "If your Highness wants to kill, why bother to ask someone to follow me, and today you are here to sit here and invite me to come up for tea..."
"Squatting?" Before Qi Wu could finish speaking, Shang Fuheng smiled, "This time the word is not good, it's very ugly."
"Forget it, if you don't pick it up, don't pick it up, you are ugly, don't scare others." Shang Fuheng compromised again in a gentle tone.
In this regard, Qi Wu said that what you said is correct: "Isn't it, my face is so hideous, it would be bad to scare His Highness to have nightmares at night."
Shang Fuheng replied to him in a gentle voice: "I really didn't wait for you here on purpose today, but I'm just interested in you. I know you live nearby, and I'm thinking that if there is a destiny, maybe I can really treat you to a drink." Serve a cup of hot tea."
"Unexpectedly, there is indeed some fate between you and me, so we met again. Do you know why this king is interested in you?"
Shang Fuheng's attitude became kind, but on the contrary, he pushed Qi Wu's tone to become more flamboyant: "It's not idle."
Shang Fuheng smiled, and looked not angry: "Because I feel that you are special, and you are not greedy for vanity at all. Others know that you are entering the palace to serve the emperor, and they are all scrambling to go, for fear that you will get out on the road. Chazi, it’s just that you tried every means to escape. This king likes the way you avoid the emperor like a snake and a scorpion.”
Hearing this, Qi Wu said softly: "Then Your Highness should go to our Qi Clan's clan to have a look, if you catch someone like me there, His Highness will definitely like it."
"Qi Wu." Shang Fuheng asked him in a gentle tone, "Shouldn't you be more obedient? Or do you really think that I have a very good temper and won't do anything to you?"
Qi Wu twitched the corner of his mouth again, but didn't respond in a loud voice.
Shang Fuheng re-satisfied and said again: "Leave aside the fact that you are not greedy for vanity, I also like that you have brains and can escape from Liu Lu's guard."
Qi Wu endured it, but couldn't hold back the urge to speak, and simply smiled, as if he had a good attitude, replied: "Who is alive and doesn't have a brain, and besides, there is no one else in the station, and Mr. Liu is not here."
Shang Fuheng nodded slightly: "You are such a humble and good boy, and this king has discovered another advantage of you."
Qi Wu: "..."
It's so strange. After such a conversation, Qi Wu began to feel that not only Shang Fuheng was sick, but also himself who sat here and listened to the person opposite him was also sick.
"Excuse me, can you be more direct and tell me what's wrong with you?"
Hearing this, Shang Fuheng slightly raised his eyebrows: "It's a pity that you seem to have some memory problems. Didn't the king mention it several times, please drink tea."
Qi Wu picked up the cup of cold tea in front of him, drank it down, and signaled to Shang Fuheng to empty the cup, then put it down and stood up: "Thank you for the tea, Your Highness, then I will go ahead without wasting your time left."
He didn't immediately stop him, Shang Fuheng smiled and watched Qi Wu walking towards the exit, seeing that he was about to lift the curtain, he said leisurely, "I heard that the people of the Qi clan all have a mark on the back of their necks?"
Seeing the slender fingers retracted from the door curtain, Shang Fuheng was a little satisfied, and continued to Qi Wu who was standing over there: "I also heard that you have booked a house in Licheng, please let the person from Yahang come by." Finished your household registration?"
Qi Wu turned around and looked at Shang Fuheng again.
"What do you think, why can't you just say it?"
Shang Fuheng pointed to the seat opposite to him: "Come back."
Qi Wu was not, standing was tiring, so he sat down in the nearest empty seat: "Speak."
Shang Fuheng then asked: "How about you settle down on that house today?"
Qi Wu frowned slightly: "It really has something to do with you?"
Shang Fuheng couldn't deny it.
Qi Wu couldn't help sighing: "I said... Your Highness Lang, is it necessary for you to be so idle? Didn't I use your old name to scare two evildoers that day? When you spend so much time on me?"
"Aren't you flattered?" Shang Fuheng took the words.
Qi Wu: "..."
Qi Wu almost choked.
"The Han family bought that house last year, but the original owner left after selling the house and never came back, and the Han family didn't tell the public, so few people know that the house has changed owners." Shang Fuheng spoke slowly and calmly. Qi Wu explained.
Qi Wu thought for a while, and he was not sure about anything else, but he was sure that the steward of the tooth shop had received extra money for his work.Others don't know who owns the house now, and the person who helps in the intermediary business doesn't know who the house is transferred from?
"That house was sold to you at a low price, so let me borrow flowers to present Buddha, and give you a meeting gift." While speaking, Shang Fuheng gently opened the folding fan.
If there is nothing missing in Licheng, there will be no missing houses. Without Shang Fuheng's borrowing flowers to present Buddha, he would not be able to buy other suitable houses, right?Qi Wu retorted secretly in his heart.
But if Shang Fuheng is really determined to mess with him, then Shang Fuheng will naturally make him unable to buy a house or land in Licheng with money... So Qi Wu stopped talking.
"As for the mark on the back of your neck, I can also help. What you can't find in the place selling rouge, I have it here." Shang Fuheng said with a smile.
Hearing this, Qi Wu's eyes lit up immediately, but then he became vigilant again.
"Your Highness, there is no free meal in the world." Qi Wu said.
"That's the truth." Shang Fuheng nodded in agreement, and then sighed regretfully, "But I don't like to take the usual path. I originally thought that you are very interesting. If I hit it off with you, I had a lot of free time around that time, so it's not impossible to help you casually. It's just... just after we chatted, I really don't hit it off."
Qi Wu: "..." You have something good, you didn't say it earlier!You said earlier that I would let you know what it means to be a hero by knowing the current affairs!
"How about this, I heard from my man who is in charge of following you, you went to the rouge shop yesterday and bought a lot of rare items... Since your face under the veil is very ugly, why don't you use those gouache creams to decorate it, Let me see again?"
Shang Fuheng flapped his folding fan lightly, smiling very warmly and politely.
Qi Wu: "..."
This person went to the battlefield before, and he used his words to piss off the enemy camp!
