Qin Shi: Starting from saving Yan Lingji

Chapter 16
Although the ground is relatively hard, it is not very comfortable to lie on.But this sleep was the most sound sleep Zheng Ze had ever had, until the sunlight poured into the wooden floor of the room through the half-opened window lattice.

Opening her sleepy eyes, she saw Yan Lingji sitting beside her, with her legs crossed, her head propped on one hand, and a pair of wonderful eyes looking at her with interest.

"Are you awake?" she said.

Zheng Ze didn't quite get used to it. He was a little surprised by Yan Lingji's attitude, and didn't think much about it. He nodded and asked, "What time is it?"

Looking out of the window, the warm sun is shining on the ground in March, which is the time when all things are full of vitality. The morning and noon sunshine mixed with the fragrance of vegetation makes people feel refreshed.

"It's past mao hour." Yan Lingji said, then she got up and walked to the window, fully opening the half-opened casement.

Following her movements, the warm sunlight spread all the way on the floor of the room, flooding Zheng Ze, and also made the room brighten up.

Slightly frowning, this sleep is really long.After getting over the initial discomfort, Zheng Ze got up and heard Yan Lingji say.

"People from Qijuetang brought breakfast, I have already eaten."

She pointed to the neatly arranged food boxes on the table, and then sat aside again, silently observing Zheng Ze.

She knew that Zheng Ze would wake up occasionally at night when he slept with her, and after a good rest at this time, his complexion was much better than before.

Compared to the heaviness before, he looks a little more energetic now. If you look closely, this person is quite handsome!

Not caring what this woman was thinking for the time being, Zheng Ze went to wash himself.

Qijuetang was used to entertain them, and the location was not bad. There was a commercial street next to it, and there were vendors all over the street. Therefore, the people outside the window at this time came and went, giving people a lively living atmosphere.

Presumably, this is also one of Qijuetang's industries. It is not a lot of money to collect some protection fees from this place, but it is a steady stream of business.

Sitting at the table and opening the food box, I saw that there were fish and meat, meat and vegetables in it.

"Their etiquette is thoughtful." Zheng Ze said with emotion.

Since he came here, he has never eaten such a hearty meal.Although he doesn't care much about his appetite, but if he can eat more delicately, who wants to eat bran swallowed vegetables?
At this time, Yan Lingji leaned over, looked at him and said, "Then tell me, is this a courtesy for you, or a courtesy for me?"

"Damn it, I'm a nobody, how can I be treated so courteously by Qijuetang." He said while stuffing food into his mouth.

The food was served hot and steaming.

Hearing this, Yan Lingji rolled her eyes at him, "It's boring, but you're 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 it either, he just said perfunctorily, "The girl is good-looking, so what she said makes sense."

Cursing her lips, Yan Lingji watched him gobble it up. After the conversation last night, she was obviously planning to get in touch with him in a different way.

"I want to know, what are you going to do next?" She asked inquiringly.

Zheng Ze looked up at her strangely, this woman's temperament is really unpredictable, she was as cold as ice before, and as domineering as a flame.Now it makes people feel as soft as water and as gentle as 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 good, if you jump into their chessboard, you won't even be able to make a splash."

Responding to his statement, Yan Lingji's brows and eyes moved slightly, but she didn't say anything.

"So the best way is to enter the game in a subtle way, and the poisonous scorpion gate is a good breakthrough." Zheng Ze slowly explained to her.

Nodding her head slightly, Yan Lingji thought for a while, "What about you? Why did you plan this from the beginning?"

Last night was just a joking remark to relieve the tense atmosphere between the two of them before. She would not really think that a man with such thoughts planned everything just to win her heart.

Just as Zheng Ze was about to speak, the two heard a knock on the door.Immediately, someone outside the door spoke out:

"Qi Ye please tell Brother Zheng and Miss Yan Lingji."

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 traffic on the way ahead became noticeably sparser. They walked to the corner of the street and stopped in front of a large courtyard.

There are people from Qijuetang in front of the gate to welcome you. The yard has a large area. The landscape of vegetation, trees, stones from other mountains, and small bridges and flowing water makes people appreciate the beauty in their hearts.

But when you walk to an ancestral hall, the scene is not so beautiful.There were quite a few people lying on the open space on both sides, and they were all disciples of Qijue Hall, and there were still some bloodstains scattered on the ground.

Someone next to them checked their injuries. According to the situation, someone was seriously injured, but no one made a sound from the beginning to the end.

"Master Qi has prepared some tea, please come forward, both of you."

A person walked out from the ancestral hall, and said in a neither humble nor overbearing voice.

When he saw Tang Qi again, he was giving instructions to the people at the side, and when he saw him and Yan Lingji coming, he sent them away.

Immediately, a kind smile hung on his pale face, "Brother Zheng, how did you rest last night?"

Zheng Ze smiled slightly, "Being taken care of by Qiye, you are resting well. But I think you, Qiye, don't seem to be resting well?"

"Let the little brother watch the joke. The hall has been busy recently, and I have to move more with my old bones." While exchanging greetings, he invited the two to sit down.

Zheng Ze sat opposite her at the table, and as for Yan Lingji, she crossed her arms and looked around, not planning to get involved.

"Poison Scorpion Gate?" At this time, this is probably the only thing that can make Qijuetang so busy.

Sure enough, Tang Qi nodded, "The poisonous scorpion people deliberately made trouble last night, and the people who ambushed us in the center of the city suffered heavy losses due to insufficient preparation. Those people outside must have seen it too. "

Zheng Ze glanced at the scar on his forehead and nodded, "It seems that the situation is not good!"

"Yes!" Tang Qi sighed, with a worried look on his face, "Since they embraced the nobleman's thigh, they have become more and more arrogant recently. If this continues, I'm afraid we will have to give up the land in the center of the city."

The land in the center of the city is related to Qijuetang's important source of income, once it is lost, it means that Qijuetang will only be passive from now on, and it will be a matter of time before it is eaten away.

While saying this, he has been paying attention to Zheng Ze's expression.

I thought about it for a long time last night. If I can really get the help of the two people in front of me, although I can't reverse the situation, it can greatly ease the situation in front of me.

When I came to see the two of you today, I also had this kind of thought in mind.

Zheng Ze nodded, "It's really troublesome."

Tang Qi's eyes flashed, but he still said: "What the little brother said last night..."

"Last night, because I was eager to save people, I said some big words, and please Qiye don't take it to heart!"

Before Tang Qi could finish speaking, Zheng Ze rushed to speak.

I admit that I spoke a little louder before, so please pretend you didn't hear me.

Now Tang Qi was a little stunned, what does this mean, you didn't say that last night.

However, as an old senior who has been in the arena for so long, he quickly adjusted his mentality.

"I don't know what the little brother means by this?" He put down the teacup 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 in his heart, but at least he didn't show it.

Now that 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 go into this muddy water again.

"The person behind the poisonous scorpion gate, I don't need to tell you, you know that we all have a hard time offending him on this three-acre land in Xinzheng."

Zheng Ze tasted the fragrant tea in his hand, and continued to speak carefully: "And my... well, my companion is wanted outside, so it's not easy to fight with others."

Hearing what he said, Tang Qi felt that he probably understood the other party's meaning, and suddenly regretted why he didn't agree on the spot last night, otherwise it wouldn't be like this now...

The very good energy-raising skills kept his expression calm. Although he was a little unhappy in his heart, he still cupped his hands.

"I understand the meaning of the little brother. This muddy water is really not easy to wade through. There is still a portrait of this girl on the official page, so the little brother should be careful. However, Qijuetang is in danger at this time, but as long as the little brother returns Stay in the north of the city, then nothing will happen."

Although the business couldn't be done, he still decided to sell a share of benevolence and righteousness.

But Zheng Ze shook his head, "Master Qi misunderstood, I said that it was inconvenient for her to make a move, but I didn't say that there was no way for Qijuetang to get through the immediate crisis."
