the first lady

Chapter 144

I didn't pay attention at first, but now I saw the old man Xian's appearance, then looked at the old man Zhu, and then transferred to the old man Xian, I was shocked.

It was the old man Xian who was uncomfortable being looked at by her, and he growled in an unfriendly voice: "What are you looking at?"

"I planted this mountain and opened this tree. I want to pass by here and leave behind white steamed buns!" Qiao Ling'er said four words in shock.

"Ahem." The calm old man Zhu immediately looked like he was choking after hearing these four words, and his expressionless face was also full of embarrassment.

The old man Xian's face didn't look very good anymore, and he said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? Go fishing, go fishing..." As he spoke, he put the porridge on the attending table beside him, and he disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Seeing the people who left quickly, Qiao Ling'er was puzzled, turned to the old man Zhu, and said sincerely: "Thank you, senior, for saving me!"

The old man Zhu stopped her from kneeling, and was impressed by this woman who could calm down instantly, "We met you in the mountains, and you happened to come here, so it's fate. Besides, this kid... Very strong, if there is no him in this world, maybe I, the old man, have wiped out a legend."

"Senior?" Qiao Ling'er was a little confused, but the last half of the sentence was actually said by old man Zhu to herself.

The old man Zhu turned to Qiao Ling'er again and said: "The medicine I gave you just now is the antidote for the wall chick and the green bamboo snake poison you have been poisoned by, and now there is no serious problem. After drinking this bowl of porridge, your strength will recover gone."

After experiencing helplessness for such a long time, seeing the old man Zhu's concern, Qiao Linger's heart was even warmer: "Thank you, senior. It's just that Yi...his ribs are broken, and he must still have many injuries. Tell me, senior..."

"Compared to the poison he suffered, those injuries are only minor injuries, but thanks to these injuries, part of his poison has flowed out through the blood. It doesn't matter if the ribs are broken, you and the old man will make medicine later, He will recover within ten days." The old man Zhu said with a smile, also with some comfort.

"Thank you senior, thank you senior!" Qiao Ling'er bowed to him, extremely grateful.

"Okay, okay, no thanks, I'm going to see the old man, you have to drink the porridge." The old man Zhu felt a little embarrassed when he thought of the embarrassing appearance he pretended at the beginning, and he was afraid that she would mention it again.

Before Qiao Ling'er could speak, the old man Zhu left quickly.

The old man Zhu was actually a little helpless. Reminiscent of Zong Zhengyi's indifferent appearance when he lost the bet to the old man Xian, and then the two pretended to be bandits to grab things, Zong Zhengyi thought their deception was No. [-] in the world, but he didn't want to be seen through so early.

It was also fortunate that he gave them a piece of cake at that time, otherwise they would have to die if they trespassed on their place.

Who is that young man?

Sitting on the side of the bed, Qiao Ling'er no longer had any extra expressions on her face, and the only person she could hold in her eyes was Zong Zhengyi.As if everything in this world was a phantom except him.

He stretched out his hand and gently touched the clean face, his hand was very gentle, as if he was afraid that if he used force, he would disappear.

What is the state of mind towards him?
When I first met him, he was standing here in white, nodding to her in a gentle way.

The second time I saw him, they had changed from strangers who had met once to a couple who could stay together for a lifetime, and he apologized to her for the mistakes that were not his.

He promised her to protect her and the entire Qiao family, and he did not disappoint her.

When they were assassinated for the first time, the seemingly powerless appearance wrapped her in his arms; later in the palace, he appeared in front of her with Wuyou's identity, and at the scene where the girl who was about to be discovered The second time he was in Mocheng, when he was taken away by the four great Rakshasas, he came all the way from the capital just to save her; the third time he took her to find the murderer... and finally used his own The body blocks the impact of the turbulence...

Everything seems to have happened yesterday. His condition is obviously serious but he still pretends to be fine. If she hadn't seen him lying here now and heard the old man Zhu explain his injury and poison, she would have no way of knowing What has this man come across in such a short time.

She clearly said that she wanted to be a woman who could stand by his side, but she was always protected by him. This feeling was not annoying, but it made her heartache.He was supposed to be a shrewd and wise person, but his actions were so reckless.

"Yi..." Qiao Ling'er suppressed the heaviness in her heart, and softly called his name.

He walked with her through hell, if the King of Hades doesn't accept her, then in this life, she will follow him through the world.

Desert City.

"Yan!" Zongzheng Yan walked out of a mansion with a livid face, and heard the sound of horseshoes and familiar voices after walking out the door.

Immediately turning his face away, he saw Feng Qing, He Lian Feiyu and Ning Xiaojian rushing forward, and the Bai family had another stronghold in Mocheng, so Bai Shixi did not follow.

"Qing, Yu, Xiao Jian? Why did you come here?" Zong Zhengyan with a livid face smiled a little after seeing the three of them, but it was still not good-looking.

Feng Qing and the three of them jumped off their horses, Feng Qing said: "Such a big thing happened, of course we have to come and have a look."

"Yan, you really are not enough friends for not telling us about such a big incident." Helian Feiyu also teased, but there was really no sense of blame in her tone.

"Yan, what's the specific situation now?" Ning Xiaojian also went straight to the point, and their investigation couldn't go deep here, so they had to come and ask in person.If the people behind the scenes really wanted to deal with the six great families, then the Ning family, who was at the bottom, would definitely be the fish on the cutting board.

Zongzheng Yan frowned and said, "I'm going to Hengyun Rice Shop now. Hengyun Rice Shop has purchased rice from the entire Mocheng and monopolized the market of this rice shop."

"Hengyun again?" Ning Xiaojian frowned. The word "Hengyun" was what they heard Bai Shixi say the most before. Rice shops, commercial firms, and money houses were almost all branded with the word "Hengyun". This has become a major economic hindrance across the Southeast.

"Where is the person behind the scenes?" Feng asked lightly.

"My subordinates have inquired about the news that one of the two heads of Hengyun will come to the main shop today." Zong Zhengyan said seriously.

As for the "main store" he mentioned, it is actually a chain that Qiao Linger mentioned. There are chains all over the main store and branches.

"Yan, we'll go with you." Helian Feiyu said after silence.

Zong Zhengyan glanced at the three people in surprise, then nodded, and said, "Get on the horse, these two people are very mysterious, if they don't hurry up, they will go to another place."

After all, Zong Zhengyan and the other four got on their horses and galloped towards Hengyun Mixing.

After a short time, in front of the huge rice shop that opened not long ago, the workers wore uniform clothes, and the building was built after buying this piece of land.

"Is your boss here?" Zong Zhengyan jumped down and asked a person who seemed to be the shopkeeper directly after arriving at Mihangqian.

"Boss? Our boss just left...Look, that's our boss's horse..." The shopkeeper just said a word, and Zongzheng Yan quickly got on his horse and spurred Fengqing and others to leave quickly, " What are you doing with our boss..."

Naturally, no one answered the shopkeeper's words, and the carriage ahead contained the person they wanted to chase.

At any rate, the horses of Zongzheng Yan and the others were top-notch horses, and it was not difficult for ordinary horses to catch up with the carriage. Therefore, before leaving the city, the four of them stopped the carriage.

"Yu——" the driver quickly tightened the reins when the four people in front suddenly appeared, "Who are you and what do you want to do?"

There are two coachmen, and they are two people who seem to have extraordinary martial arts.

Zong Zhengyan first clasped his fists together, "May I ask if the person in the carriage is the boss behind Hengyun Mixing?"

"Does the master have anything to do with you? Go away and don't block our master's way!" Another coachman yelled out immediately. Although his appearance looked fierce, his words were considered polite.

"Under Feng Qing, I want to ask the boss behind Hengyun's behind-the-scenes advice on how to do business." Feng Qing also opened his mouth shallowly, with a harmless smile on his face.

"The young master of the Feng family of the first family?" The two coachmen looked at each other, and when Feng Qing and the others thought they were all singing, one of them said, "My master has no intention of dealing with younger generations. For the sake of saving face, please let Mrs. Feng come to discuss with you."

As soon as these words came out, even Feng Qing's face changed a little. The identity and aura of the person behind the scenes is so after that, he actually named Mrs. Feng by name?
"I don't know if you two can tell me that the Feng family has already been taken care of, and grandpa has long since stopped asking about the Feng family's family background." Feng Qing's self-cultivation is good, and he is not upset because of the tone of those two people.

"My master has no intentions of Mr. Feng, please." One of the coachmen flatly refused.

Hearing that Zongzheng Yan and Feng Qing glanced at each other, Helian Feiyu who frowned suddenly took a step forward, "What are you two afraid of? Boss Hengyun's aura is so strong that even our royal family Don't pay attention to it?"

The two coachmen looked at each other, but did not speak.

"The fifth prince is serious. I'm just in a hurry. Please bear with me if I don't get there. Ahem..." A weak voice came from inside the carriage, obviously out of breath, but he still managed to finish speaking .

Hearing the voice of the person inside, Feng Qing and the others immediately looked at each other in dismay. With such a voice, what kind of old man should it be?
