Chapter 82 Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs
Xujia Town, Tongyuan Teahouse.
The three of them went up to the second floor and found a seat by the window. Wei Mingqi sat down first and took out a few large coins with a refreshed look on his face.
"A pot of bone-penetrating incense, and some snacks and candied fruits."
"Okay—"
After the waiter left, the woman in the green skirt opposite raised her hand and looked at the white and slender palms, complaining with a seductive look:
"I've washed it three or four times, but it's still sticky."
"Cough cough!"
Wei Mingqi's eyebrows were dignified, and he said seriously: "You accidentally touched the boat paint when you went out, right? I told you to be careful, and I'll have someone bring you a pair of chopsticks later."
"Hmm~"
The girl in the green skirt nodded and pouted, saying, "That boatman was so unreasonable. He poured water all over my hands without even saying hello."
"..."
Beside them, the girl with peach blossom eyes watched the two perform coldly, then glanced at the young man: "Wei Mingqi, are you very proud now?"
Upon hearing this, Wei Mingqi turned his gaze to the window.
"Xujia Town looks like this. There is no awareness of environmental protection at all. Hundreds of blast furnaces are piled together, and the sky is filled with black smoke. You can't even see the sun during the day."
"䱱——"
"The ironwork is also making a lot of noise outside. Xujiabao is also in the town. Don't the people in their family find it annoying?"
Yu Qing covered his mouth and smiled when he heard this, and interrupted: "Young Master, what are you talking about? I don't listen to the wall, so why would I find it noisy?"
"you!"
"Okay, okay, there are kids making a fuss."
"..."
Shi Fengguan's chest swelled up, and she felt that even her bra was about to burst, so she turned her eyes away.
Next to them, a little girl with pigtails carrying a teapot and a food box looked at the three people carefully. Seeing that they had stopped "arguing", she came closer and placed the things on the table one by one.
Wei Mingqi saw that she was not very old, probably only eight or nine years old, but she looked very lively, like a delicate little flower, and seemed vaguely familiar.
"Little sister, why are you carrying such a big teapot? Is it Kung Fu tea?"
"..."
The little girl, who was about to leave with the teapot, hesitated for a moment before nodding slightly when she saw him talking to her: "Would you like some, sir?"
"Have a drink."
Hearing the sound, the little girl picked up the teapot whose spout was longer than her, and bent down, turned, and jumped into the air with her lithe body. Not only were her movements beautiful, but the tea poured from the long spout did not spill even a drop, which made the two women next to her watch more seriously.
"Good seedling."
"You should learn martial arts."
"..."
The girl shrank her neck when she heard the voice, then picked up the teapot and was about to leave respectfully. Wei Mingqi stopped her and threw a golden bean into her arms: "You are stupid, girl. You don't even know how to ask for money."
As he spoke, he inexplicably thought of Li He. If she were here back then, she would probably scold this fool.
The girl's eyes widened when the golden bean pressed on her hand. She was about to look up and say something, but she saw the young man smiling and raising his finger to his mouth.
"what happened?"
When Wei Mingqi saw her coming back, he thought that the girl couldn't get away.
"elder brother……"
The little girl lowered her voice and whispered, "Don't say bad things about the town and the Xu family in town. If someone hears you, something bad will happen."
"Ha ha--"
Wei Mingqi grinned happily.
He was not afraid of "anything happening", but he felt extremely comfortable hearing the word "brother". During the time he was out of the palace, he even had to call Feng'er "sister", which was very uncomfortable.
"understood."
He reached out his hand, ignoring the little girl's resistance as she shrank her neck, and gently pinched her smooth cheek with his fingers:
"You are too thin. Go back and eat more so that you can strengthen your body and practice martial arts in the future. If you practice martial arts well, you can defeat any enemy with one punch."
"..."
The little girl looked at him for a long while with her clear and childish eyes, and finally nodded slightly and slowly walked away.
"You are always saying nice things." After the people left, Shi Fengguan, who was standing next to him, folded his hands and raised his eyebrows and said, "Aren't you afraid that he will learn martial arts in the future and beat up a demon like you to become famous?"
"Ah."
Wei Mingqi brought the tea and smiled: "When she grows up, I will be Zhen Qianqiu of the Jianghu at that time."
"...Look at you crazy."
Shi Fengguan grumbled, but the anger in his heart inexplicably subsided a lot.
She quite likes this kind of energy in her brother.
Yu Qing picked up a candied fruit with his 'sticky' hands and put it into his mouth, and said with a smile on his lips: "It would be fine if he didn't come to my house, but if he really came, which woman could escape from the young master."
"His surname is Wei, and his is the ginseng fruit——"
Shi Fengguan said rather dissatisfiedly: "It's fine if you are flirtatious, but don't humiliate other women in your words."
"Do you recognize yourself as a woman?"
"I……"
Shi Fengguan's cheeks flushed red: "Whether I am a woman or not has nothing to do with you!"
Yu Qing liked to tease the aunt and nephew. Hearing this, his eyes narrowed with laughter: "You'd better not be like that. If you are, that guy is like a donkey and can turn the wheel."
"cough--"
Seeing that she turned to humiliate herself, Wei Mingqi couldn't help but say, "Don't speak so outrageously when you're outside."
"..."
Yu Qing's shoulders shook with laughter, and then he picked up a date and was about to stuff it into his mouth:
"Try it—"
"I don't like dates."
"I'll get you whatever you want to eat."
"I love tea."
"Oh, it turns out that tea is delicious. I thought even a tiger would not eat its own cubs."
"..."
Shi Fengguan felt disgusted after hearing this disgusting conversation, wondering if such a small thing was worth it for this evil woman to bring it up every day.
But being able to spin the wheels...is that true?
It shouldn't be a problem, right? It doesn't matter if it is a problem, it's better to kill this slutty woman.
But seeing that the two were becoming more and more excessive in their words and actions, Shi Fengguan could not help but slap the table lightly, his eyebrows raised, and asked, "Are you done yet? Are you here to have fun or to do business?"
Wei Mingqi over there was feeling his scalp tingling. This black-hearted Xing was so vindictive that he just couldn't hold it in and insisted on feeding him food to make him experience the pain of losing a son. When he heard his brother's words, he nodded hurriedly.
"Business, business is important!"
"Humph."
"..."
Seeing that the demon woman had calmed down, Shi Fengguan slowly lowered his sword brows and said slowly, "I will find a chance to sneak in. You wait for my news outside. After we find out the source, you can stay or leave."
With the thousand changes of "Gui Su", it is perfect for this kind of work. Wei Mingqi even has several naughty ideas in his mind that can kill people and take things without getting dirty.
But why bother?
He came here to stir up this mess, and Wei Mingqi also wanted to take this opportunity to relax. As for the source of the military crossbows... it doesn't matter.
Be it the Southwest or the Jianghu, we must take this opportunity to smash them all together.
"Sir, Sirs, what are you doing——"
"Get out of the way! Take the person away, and the rest of you stay out of our business!"
As soon as Wei Mingqi began to feel resentful, he heard a commotion coming from downstairs, including the sound of the girl he had met struggling.
"OK."
Mei Xing, who was acting maliciously, put her chin on his shoulder and gloated:
"Someone is going to be in trouble."
