A knife in love

Chapter 1926

The four of them walked five or six zhang forward, and they were not far from the gate of the house.I saw the path under my feet leading to the gate of the house.The gate is two feet above the ground, and there are more than ten stone steps with a width of about ten feet.There are two huge stone lions standing on both sides of the gate. They are very mighty with their teeth and claws.Seeing the high threshold of the gate with hanging flowers and the high threshold, Qi Jiu thought to himself, this family is so ostentatious, and this gate alone is not under the residence of the Commander of Dengzhou Guard.

The four of them walked up to the stone steps and looked up at the gate.There is no plaque on the forehead, and the owner's surname is unknown.Qi Jiu said to Li Qiufeng: "When the Ming Dynasty was founded, Emperor Taizu strictly prohibited officials and common people from building luxury houses. If they violated the regulations, they would be punished severely. Although later generations gradually ignored this matter, the family of officials did not dare to go too far. Arrogant. The scale of the house in front of me is huge, and the gate alone can only be built by officials of the third rank or higher. Could it be that there are still first- and second-rank officials in Dongliao County?"

Qi Jiu's voice fell, and before Li Qiufeng could answer, Wang Xiaoyu rushed to the side and said, "How can there be a high-ranking official in a small place like Dongliao County? There are two or three Juren who have returned from their old age. I heard that The biggest official is nothing more than the magistrate. After getting old, I can’t be an official. Maybe there are too many enemies, and I am worried about being retaliated, so I returned to Dongliao County to live. But I have seen these guys before. After all, he is still a local turtle, and the house is not as luxurious as our Wang family's."

When Wang Xiaoyu said this, he glanced at the gate, and then continued: "I think this house is definitely not in our Dongliao County, otherwise I wouldn't know! Even if I don't know, my father... Bah Bah! An old villain like Liu Shengdan and Ma Shou will definitely know."

Qi Jiu nodded and said, "Perhaps we have really traveled a long way, far away from Dongliao County. This mansion is so magnificent, the owner must be a great person. Brother Li is right, we must Be careful not to offend this person."

Li Qiufeng was suspicious, thinking that although Miss Wang was pampered, she often wandered around Dongliao County, if there really was such a wealthy family, she would definitely know about it.Even Ms. Wang doesn't know the origin of this house. Is it really like Brother Qi said, we wandered around in the big cave, and for some reason, we have already traveled a long way, leaving Dongliao County?

The more Li Qiufeng thought about it, the more puzzled he became, and when he saw the strict gate, he became more and more suspicious.I only heard Murong Danyan say: "Young Master Qi is right. I have never seen such a luxurious gate in Hangzhou, let alone those pavilions in the courtyard. The master is so majestic, I am afraid that he may not pay attention to us. "

Qi Jiu said with a smile: "Miss Murong is Mr. Murong Qiushui's beloved daughter, not only all major gangs in the world respect Mr. Murong, but must give Miss Murong some face. Even the local government, I am afraid that they would not dare to offend Murong. Miss. Miss Murong is gentle and gentle, and she can be seen as the eldest lady of a rich family at a glance. If Miss Murong came forward to negotiate with the owner of this house, he might not make things difficult for us."

After Qi Jiu finished speaking, Murong Danyan blushed, and said in his mouth: "Young Master Qi is ridiculously praised, how can I be so amazing?"

Qi Jiu was about to speak, when Wang Xiaoyu snorted, gave Qi Jiu a vicious look, and said loudly, "You say Sister Murong is gentle, but you mean I'm a rude and vicious person?!"

Qi Jiu was taken aback, shook her head again and again, and said in her mouth: "I, I definitely have no such intention..."

When Qi Jiu said this, he didn't dare to look at Wang Xiaoyu's face, and turned his head to look at Li Qiufeng, with the intention of asking for help in his eyes.Li Qiufeng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, thinking to himself that Miss Wang is so savage, I can't afford to offend her.Brother Qi, you have to figure it out on your own.

Seeing Li Qiufeng's helpless expression, Qi Jiu knew that he had nothing to do with Wang Xiaoyu. Just as he was thinking about how to explain to Wang Xiaoyu, the door suddenly opened quietly.Qi Jiu's heart trembled, he didn't care about talking to Wang Xiaoyu, he leaned back with his right hand and hid the long knife behind his back.

When Li Qiufeng, Murong Danyan, and Wang Xiaoyu saw the door opened, they all turned their heads to look, only to see a person walking out of the door.The four of them trembled and looked intently, only to see that the man was wearing a gauze cap on his head, a long robe, a jade belt around his waist, and white-soled gangster boots.Looking at the face, this person has a fair complexion, with three long beards under his chin, a pair of red phoenix eyes that seem to be slightly opened, and two thin eyebrows that stretch into the temples.Holding a folding fan in his right hand, he tapped the fan on the palm of his left palm as he walked, until he walked to the edge of the stone steps, looking down at Li Qiufeng and the others with a smile on his face.

When Li Qiufeng and the others saw that this person was dressed as a scribe and had an extraordinary appearance, they felt a little close to him.The man stood at the top of the stone steps, smiled slightly, and said in his mouth: "The good guest has come from afar, and he has not greeted him from afar. I hope you will forgive me!"

Li Qiufeng came to his senses at this moment, and hastily cupped his hands and said: "Young juniors, came rashly and disturbed the nobleman, I hope your Excellency will forgive me."

Seeing the handsome figure on the stone steps, Wang Xiaoyu secretly thought that this person had an extraordinary demeanor, he must be the otherworldly expert who teased us with singing on the way.Listening to his extremely elegant speech, he must be a great hero with both civil and military skills.Being able to get to know this senior is really a blessing from my previous life.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiaoyu was about to speak, but saw that the man walked down the stone steps quickly, and when he reached Li Qiufeng and the others, he bowed slightly, made a gesture of invitation, and said in his mouth: "The banquet has been set up." , waiting for everyone to take their seats."

At least 30 hours have passed since Li Qiufeng and others followed Morita Shinobu into the big stone cave.During the period, everyone did not eat a grain of rice, let alone drink a sip of water.But the strange thing is that there is no hunger in the stomach, nor thirst in the mouth.Just hearing the man say "The banquet is ready", Li Qiufeng and others all thought that this gentleman is so hospitable, even if we are not hungry, we can't go against his kindness.

Thinking of this, Li Qiufeng and others expressed their thanks one after another.The man was full of joy, said a few words of humility, and then led the way first, and invited Li Qiufeng and others up the stone steps.Li Qiufeng followed the man, and as soon as he stepped on the stone steps, he felt that his feet were floating, as if he was stepping on cotton, his heart trembled, and he hurriedly channeled his inner strength, trying to stabilize his figure.It's just that although the true energy is concentrated in the whole body, I still feel a little weak under my feet.He was terrified, thinking to himself, could it be that I have been hungry for a long time and my body lacks strength, but I just don't know it?

While Li Qiufeng was thinking, the man had already reached the top of the stone steps.Li Qiufeng didn't dare to hesitate, so he walked up the stone steps unsteadily.It's just that there is some confusion in his heart, as if in a dream.

The man stood at the top of the stone steps and waited sideways for Li Qiufeng and others to walk up the stone steps. Then he walked to the gate, stretched out his hand to push the gate open, made another gesture of please, and walked in first.Li Qiufeng and others followed him step by step, and walked into the yard one by one.I saw another scene in the yard.There are rockery and strange rocks everywhere, hidden among flowers, plants and trees.It's just that the fog in the yard is thicker, making everything in front of us look hazy.
