The arrogance of the city

Chapter 522
After Qin Yuyi left, Li Futu stood alone in the gazebo for a long time.

When he returned to the lobby of Jianghu Building, Cai Hongli and his party had already left.

After such a change happened, the banquet would naturally not go on.

"Boss Cai and the others have already left."

Gu Qingcheng greeted him.

Li Futu nodded, glanced at Ouyang Xiu and the others who were still here, "Go ahead and do your work."

"Yes."

Ouyang Xiu and the others retreated obediently, but what happened just now was engraved in their minds.

As the main persons in charge of the four major institutions of the Warring States Period, looking at the entire East China Sea, they are already considered upper-class figures, but after all, they are not as good as the Qin family, and the international situation is really far away from them. They just instinctively felt that the word "underworld" that was spit out of their mouths just now meant that they could unscrupulously attack Princess Qin's family and plan to kill her. The confidence of their master is far beyond their imagination.

After the four of Ouyang Xiu retreated with deeper awe, Li Futu looked at Sirius and the others, and asked them to go down to rest first. After Sirius and the others left silently, he looked at Gu Qingcheng: "Go up and sit down." Bar."

Gu Qingcheng nodded obediently.

On the third floor of Jianghu Building, Li Futu's residence and office in the Warring States Period.

Gu Qingcheng poured two glasses of water and brought them over.

Li Futu took it and thanked him.

Gu Qingcheng sat beside him.

"When senior sister left, did you say anything?"

Based on the words and deeds of Qin's patriarch and princess in the Jianghulou hall before, and the intelligence and intelligence of his senior sister, I am afraid that it is enough to guess something.

Gu Qingcheng shook her head, "No, she just said thank you for your hospitality, and will treat us to dinner next time when I have time."

After a pause, Gu Qingcheng hesitated and said, "...you and Miss Qin, do you know each other?"

Li Futu glanced at her and smiled, "I'm afraid everyone present here will feel the same way, but if I tell you that this is the first time I've seen her, would you believe me?"

"I believe."

Gu Qingcheng said without hesitation, then pinched the water glass, and couldn't help frowning: "But I think she seems to know you, and it seems like it's been a long time..."

"That's where I get confused too."

Li Futu murmured softly, a rare daze appeared in his eyes.

He had been abroad for ten years, and he had been living in the north before going abroad. He had no chance to contact Qin Yuyi or the Qin family at all. The first time he even learned of the existence of the Qin family was through Gu Qingcheng's mouth.

He is obviously a stranger who has never met before, but why did the eldest princess of the Qin family find her with a sword?
Qin Yuyi didn't say too much in the gazebo just now, every sentence still lingered in his ears, but he still couldn't understand it.

In the past ten years, he was not the only one who had worked so hard?

And human feelings, what do these mean?
"The last sentence she said, why, are you so excited?"

Gu Qingcheng asked in a low voice.

Li Futu lowered his head and took a sip of water, remained silent for a while, and did not hide any more.

"Because the woman she said was buried at the foot of Luqi Mountain was my mother."

Gu Qingcheng's eyes enlarged slightly.

"...So, she knows your mother?"

Li Futu shook his head, "My mother passed away ten years ago. At that time, Qin Yuyi should be about the same age as me. He was still a child. It was impossible for him to know my mother."

"Then why does she..."

Gu Qingcheng's eyes were fixed, and he had a sudden thought: "Could it be that your mother... is from the Qin family?"

Li Futu was startled, then shook his head and smiled: "It's even more impossible, my mother's surname is not Qin."

"What the hell is going on then?"

Gu Qingcheng was confused.

"I also really want to know what's going on, but when I think about it now, I don't have a clue."

"Since you can't figure it out now, don't think about it."

Li Futu let out a breath, and said softly as if he had some insight: "There is no secret in this world that can be hidden forever. There will always be a day when it will be revealed. Why bother yourself now."

As he said that, he looked at Gu Qingcheng: "Aren't you curious, what did the princess Qin's family mean by the underworld and the king of ghosts?"

Gu Qingcheng nodded calmly, without any shyness: "Naturally curious, I'll listen to whatever you want to say."

Li Futu smiled dumbly, "Have you been waiting for me to take the initiative to speak?"

Gu Qingcheng pursed his lips and smiled, brushed his hair, and shook his head lightly: "No, in fact, I knew a long time ago that the origin of Sirius and the others is definitely not simple. It is enough to show that they solved Gan Ji and others so quickly. Their extraordinaryness, although they seldom speak, but some temperament cannot be hidden, even if I don't know martial arts, but I know that with the skills of Sirius and the others, I am afraid that there are not many in the entire Dragon Kingdom, but you don't know If you want to mention it, I won’t ask.”

It's rare to be confused, as a woman, Gu Qingcheng has always done a good job in this regard.

"Actually, I really don't care about your background or origin. I even wish that your identity could be purer, not the second son of the Li family, nor some ghost king of the underworld. In this way, the gap between us may be It will be smaller."

Li Futu was silent for a moment, then smiled and reached out to touch Gu Qingcheng's head.

"Silly girl."

Gu Qingcheng didn't resist, but bit her lower lip lightly: "I'm not a child anymore."

Li Futu smiled and said: "Yes, you are not a child now, you are the helm of Yongxing, the queen of the new generation, right?"

Gu Qingcheng didn't mind his jokes, and stared at him seriously: "It would be great if your identity could be simpler, so that even if you don't want to, I can forcefully keep you by my side."

Li Futu couldn't stop laughing: "Do you think you are the kind of female bandit in ancient times, who robs people and becomes the master of the village?"

"Why not?"

Facing Gu Qingcheng's stubborn gaze, Li Futu shook his head with a smile, and said with a bright arc: "Then fortunately, I still have the ability to protect myself, otherwise, if you, a female bandit, fall in love with me, wouldn't it be doomed?"

Gu Qingcheng finally couldn't help but chuckle, reached out and patted Li Futu lightly: "You are so annoying!"

Li Futu took a sip of water and looked up out of the window.

Around the Jianghu Tower, there are green trees, and it is full of lush scenery as far as the eye can see.

The smile on the corner of Li Futu's mouth slowly subsided.

"Regardless of the relationship between the eldest princess of the Qin family and my mother, she did remind me of one thing."

Gu Qingcheng looked at him suspiciously.

Li Futu's eyes were slightly in a trance.

"When my mother died, I planted two cypress trees in front of her grave, and now they are probably covered with trees."
