Pawn Crossing the River

Chapter 23 Stranding

Qi Xuansu finally persuaded Qiniang to come down. The key is that Qiniang didn't really want to leave, it was just a gesture.

Then Qi Xuansu had another question, that is, does Liu Hu know his current identity?

The Qi Xuansu that Liu Hu recognized was Wei Wugui, the "Golden Cuo Dao" of the Qing Ping Society, just a charlatan. Today, Qi Xuansu is the chief deputy head of Beichen Hall, and is only one step away from Zhenzhi Zhenren. Not only is the gap between the two worlds huge, they are also people from two worlds. Without knowing it, Next, who can connect Qi Xuansu and Wei Wugui?

However, Qiniang gave an affirmative answer. Liu Hu had not been blind to what was happening outside the window these years. He probably knew about Qi Xuansu's affairs, and there was no need for Qi Xuansu to explain it.

Of course, this leads to another problem. Qi Xuansu has really not contacted Liu Hu in these years. This is due to his character. The fundamental reason is that he is always stingy in his emotional devotion. Liu Hu is different from Xiao Yin, who is a daily Hanging around Qi Xuansu, Liuhu naturally became alienated after many years of absence.

Furthermore, Liu Hu’s character is not very likable, and he is inevitably cold and distant. Xiao Yin is much better. Although she occasionally gets into trouble, she is not confused in major matters. She is always reliable at critical moments. She is also very talkative and very lovable. Anyway, the only person who can make both Qiniang and Zhang Yuelu like her is Qi Xuansu. That is Xiao Yin.

Xiao Yin puffed up her lips and asked rather warily, "Who is Liu Hu?"

This attitude is like that of an only child resisting its parents' second child.

Qi Xuansu said, "An old friend."

Qiniang saw through Xiao Yin's little thoughts at a glance and picked her up. "Do you still remember the first time you met Lao Qi?"

Xiao Yin said, "When I was in 'Gui Pass', my grandpa took me for a walk, and I saw Lao Qi. Lao Qi was really weak at that time, and he couldn't even beat me."

Qi Xuansu laughed, "I'll beat you up later to let you know how powerful I am."

Xiao Yincai was not afraid. He hugged Qiniang's neck and felt confident. He even dared to provoke Qi Xuansu by showing his teeth.

Qiniang continued, "The reason why he passed by Guiguan was to go to Longmen Mansion to pick up Liuhu."

Xiao Yin is very good at grasping the key points. "In this way, Lao Qi got to know me first, and then he got to know Liu Hu."

"That's right." Qiniang said, "You came first."

Xiao Yin asked again, "Why didn't you tell me?"

Qi Xuansu used his parents' most classic words, "I know a lot of people. I also know the ancient gods of the New World. Do I have to report to you? Children should stop asking about adults' matters."

Xiao Yin pouted and stopped talking.

Qiniang said, "Stop chatting, I will take you to see Liuhu first."

The Qingping Society also had a stronghold in Jinling Mansion. At this time, Liuhu

Right there.

On the way to the Qingpinghui base, Qi Xuansu suddenly asked, "Does Zhou Mengyao know about Liuhu?"

Qiniang was slightly startled, "Do you still know Zhou Mengyao?"

Qi Xuansu said, "I have seen Qi Jiaozheng."

"It seems that you also know about Qi Haoran." Qiniang was not very surprised, "This is not a secret."

Qi Xuansu asked, "Qi Haoran is Zhou Mengyao? Zhou Mengyao used Qi Haoran's identity?"

Qiniang didn't answer.

Qi Xuansu asked again, "Is Zhou Mengyao the leader of the Qingping Society?"

Qiniang still didn't answer.

Qi Xuansu finally asked, "Whose dream is 'Meeting in a Dream'? Is it Zhou Mengyao?"

Qiniang turned to Xiao Yin and asked, "What do you want to eat? I'll treat you."

Xiao Yin was not polite and said softly, "Eat crabs."

"Okay, let's eat big crabs." Qiniang changed the topic directly.

Qi Xuansu sighed and asked no more questions.

Qiniang was no longer in a hurry to see Liu Hu. She took Xiao Yin to eat crabs first, and Qi Xuansu naturally followed. He was not in the mood to eat crabs at this time, but he also knew that he couldn't rush her. The more he urged, the more Qiniang would eat crabs. Not urgent. I could only patiently eat crabs with Xiao Yin, and then take it as a break from my busy schedule to spend time with my family. By the time Xiao Yin finished eating, the sky had completely darkened.

Under the leadership of Qiniang, the three of them came to a small door at the end of an alley. Qiniang knocked gently, first three times, paused for three breaths, and then knocked four times harder.

After a while, the door opened from the inside. There was no lamp inside either, and only the dim moonlight above them illuminated it. The three of them entered.

The person who opened the door closed it again.

Xiao Yin looked around curiously.

Qiniang and Qi Xuansu have become accustomed to the fact that all the Qingpinghui strongholds are similar. They walked through a long passage, passed through several courtyards, and came to a lobby. The layout was very similar to the lobby of an ordinary inn.

There was a high black lacquered counter, polished to a high shine, with several jars of wine placed behind it. It looked like it was old, and the aroma of the wine could be smelled from a distance.

This place turned out to be an inn, but it was not open for business. Qiniang and the others came in through the back door.

Qiniang slapped an old-fashioned Taiping coin that had been discontinued on the counter, and then slowly removed her palm, revealing the words "Tianxia Taiping" engraved around the square hole on the front of the coin.

The four words "flat".

The person behind the counter took out a peace coin from his arms, with the four words "everything is peaceful" engraved around the square hole, and then paired the peace coin in his hand with the peace coin on the counter, matching them perfectly. It turned out that this was a peace coin that had been divided into two halves. The one in Qiniang's hand was on the front, with the four characters "Peace in the world" printed on it. The one in the hands of the person in charge was on the back, with the four characters of "Everything is at peace" printed on it. The two halves were put together. Together, they are a complete peace coin.

The attitude of the people here immediately changed and they were very respectful to Qiniang. Qiniang signaled that they did not need to follow and they should each perform their duties.

Qi Xuansu has never understood this old-fashioned joint method. There are so many Qingpinghui strongholds. Could it be that Qiniang's bag contains a large handful of old-fashioned Taiping coins and is tied up with a rope, like a keychain. Everywhere she goes, it's like looking for a key. Likewise, it would be too troublesome to find the Taiping money corresponding to the local stronghold first.

Qiniang glanced at Qi Xuansu. She knew what Qi Xuansu was thinking without asking, and explained directly, "You can only rest here if you show the fish talisman. My Taiping Money is only available to members of the Privy Council. I can use all the resources here." . Do you want one?"

Qi Xuansu said, "Forget it, there's no need."

He also has this kind of similar token, and he is also the famous "Rose Seat".

The key is because of Zhou Mengyao, Qi Xuansu has become wary of Qingpinghui, and no longer thinks about mobilizing Qingpinghui's resources. As Donghua Zhenren said, this is the private land of the Yao family. As for what the Yao family had planned, Qi Xuansu never quite understood.

The upstairs was divided into guest rooms just like an ordinary inn. Qiniang led Qi Xuansu and Xiao Yin to a room and knocked on the door.

Soon, the door opened from the inside.

A young woman appeared in front of the three people.

When Qi Xuansu met Liu Hu for the first time, Liu Hu was only about fourteen or fifteen years old. She was not a beauty, but she had very smart eyes.

After not seeing each other for a few years, Liu Hu has grown up. From a girl to a slim young woman, her face has also grown longer and is much prettier than before.

At this moment when he saw Liu Hu, Qi Xuansu suddenly remembered Liu Hu's murder of Song Luodi.

That was the first conflict between the two, and Qi Xuansu lost his temper.

Liu Hu was very sad and asked Qi Xuansu, "Dad doesn't want me anymore, my adoptive father doesn't want me anymore, and you don't want me anymore, right?"

Qi Xuansu said, "My so-called Uncle Wei is fake. My appearance is fake, my identity is fake, and my name is fake. We meet by chance, and we may not know each other when we meet, and we may not meet each other if we meet each other. I really don't know you and me."

Will there be another time to meet again in the future? "

Liu Hu looked up at Qi Xuansu, his eyes covered with a thin layer of mist.

This was not an emotion between a man and a woman. She was still young at that time and did not understand this, but it was a bit of admiration. It was a child's attachment to his father and brother. After all, repeated life and death adversities can best bring people closer to each other and deepen their emotions. Qi Xuansu and Liu Hu are partially similar in temperament, which also makes Liu Hu like to get along with Qi Xuansu. It's just that Liu Hu has always been reticent, so she never showed it clearly.

After all, Qi Xuansu was young at that time and had never been a father or a brother. He had no idea how to deal with this relationship, but he could empathize with it to a certain extent. After all, he was from the Wanxiang Taoist Palace and did not know who his parents were.

Qi Xuansu finally gave Liu Hu a Zimu Talisman.

Liuhu kept it very precious and important.

That Zimu Talisman is still useless.

Qi Xuansu didn't know what to say for a while.

Instead, Liu Hu took the initiative and said, "Uncle Wei."

Although Qi Xuansu had long said that Wei Wugui's identity was false, Liu Hu still habitually called him "Uncle Wei".

Qi Xuansu then said, "Xiaohu, long time no see, how are you doing lately?"

Xiao Yin was immediately unhappy. Why did this person have the word "小" in her name? Wasn't she the youngest?

Liu Hu said, "Everything is fine."

Qi Xuansu added, "You can no longer call me Uncle Wei. Please call me Uncle Qi instead."

Liu Hu already knew about Qi Xuansu from Qiniang, so he didn't force it, and instead changed his words and said, "Okay, Uncle Qi."

Qi Xuansu asked, "How is your adoptive father?"

Liu Hu fell silent.

Qi Xuan could only sigh.

Qiniang broke the silence, "Stop standing, let's go inside and talk."

The three of them came to the house and sat down respectively. Xiao Yin was put on Qiniang's lap, with a stinky face and curled mouth, not speaking.

.

Qi Xuansu naturally saw it and couldn't help but feel helpless.

Some people have a harem of three thousand, and they can still have sisters and sisters, and they are a harmonious whole. It's good for him. With just one wife, plus an old lady and an old daughter, trouble can still arise. The wife doesn't like me, I don't like my wife, but the wife is generous, and the old daughter will be jealous again.

Qiniang said, "Xiaohu, don't mention your true identity from now on. The identity of your biological father will not do you any good. Although the Taoist clan does not want to implicate people when they kill people, the background check still requires implication."
