Chapter 818 It's good to have your back against a big tree


Leaving from the inn, Zhuge Yi said goodbye to Ling Eighteen, Qin Wu, and Wuxian Gongzi, and he wanted to quietly return to the inn to pick up Begonia to stay overnight in the cold hall.Although outsiders are forbidden to enter the east courtyard of the inn, it is really inappropriate for her and Qingluo to live inside, and it is difficult to resist it by relying on Qianye in case of danger.Ling 18 and Qin Wu naturally knew that Zhuge Yi was concerned about the safety of the little girl, so they made an appointment with him to enjoy the night and drink in the Drunken Rain Pavilion of the Cold Pavilion.Zhuge Yi agreed and left in a hurry.Seeing this, the wordless boy smeared oil on the soles of his feet and slipped faster, without even saying hello, turned over and went straight to his private house in Yanxia Town.It is estimated that Patriarch Yan is already on his way, and he can catch up with the carriage by riding a fast horse.It is too cold to ride a horse in winter, but it is most comfortable to ride in a carriage.There is an endless stream of new guests in the inn, and the honest old shopkeeper personally welcomes and sends them there, especially to the old customers who are more cordial and kind.The shopkeeper is clever and sweet-mouthed, taking care of all aspects of old and new customers, and praising them all over the body.Zhuge Yi quietly returned to the large courtyard to the east of the inn, ignored the "forbidden entry" plaque on the courtyard door, evaded the secret guards secretly brought by the eight patriarchs to monitor Begonia, and went straight to the main landlord's house where Begonia lived.Turning over the back window, hiding behind the screen, hearing the little girl's sarcastic laughter, Zhuge Yijian frowned slightly, and secretly said who was she mocking?

The sound of laughter is so scary."

Little girl, the 'living dead' you wrote in my palm last time was a trick on me, right?

Zhuge Zibo is not a subordinate of the living dead at all.The one who really obeys the orders of the living dead is Ling Ye. ”The second old lady Li and Li Haitang sat across the table.He was accompanied by Zhuge Yi and others with the eight patriarchs before walking out of the winding "house labyrinth".But after he returned to the guest room, he realized that when he was threatened before, he ignored a very important information.The living dead is a well-known big man in the rivers and lakes, and he is the largest businessman in the world, how can he fall in love with a lonely and helpless young man?

Even though the young man has amazing talents, after all, he is not as experienced as Ling Ye.A thirty-year-old man knows more about the world, and is more cunning than a seventeen-year-old boy.Li Haitang was not swayed by the words of the second old lady Li, she pinched a candied fruit into the mouth, and asked vaguely: "Didn't the second old lady Li send someone to check?"

”"Check?

How to check?

Even the emperor doesn't have the courage to check the whereabouts of the living dead, don't I want to die?

”The second old lady Li was so angry that she blew her beard and glared.If he has the guts, will he still come to make things difficult for her?

Li Haitang spit out the pits of candied fruit and calls Qingluo to bring tea to rinse his mouth.Qingluo came in with a glass of warm water, glanced coldly at the pretending old lady Li Er, and said lukewarmly: "Whoever the eldest girl's heart is biased towards will be beautiful."

The slave persuaded the second old lady not to bully others, and to insult the eldest girl at will when she was young. ”"What are you to dare to laugh at me?"

The second old lady Li raised the ebony cane and was about to hit it, but was grabbed by Qingluo's backhand."

You, how dare you!""

Why not?

I'm the maid of the eldest girl, but not the second old lady Li. ”Qingluo threw away the ebony cane in her hand and said to Li Haitang: "What the eldest girl wants to eat, the slave will do it." ”"Master will come later, let's be hungry for a while, and then go to the cold hall to eat.I read the fried pork of the king in the back kitchen, and I was so hungry that I drooled in my dreams. ”Li Haitang swallowed his saliva and craned his neck to look out the window at the courtyard.Qingluo smiled without saying a word, and went out with an empty teacup.Before leaving, he left the second old lady Li with a cruel look, which made the second old lady Li angry."

That's how you teach your handmaid?""

She's my confidant, and she's the only one in her eyes."

Li Haitang didn't care about the angry face of the second old lady Li, and took out a candied fruit in her mouth.She can eat anything when she's hungry, she's not a picky eater.It's just that Master can come quickly?

She's starving to death.The second old lady saw that she was absent-minded, and when she was about to get angry, she heard footsteps from the east room, which seemed to ......, "Master, you are finally here." ”Seeing the snow-haired boy who came out of the east room, the little girl couldn't wait to pounce on him and hug someone's waist and not let go, and complained delicately: "Why did you come so late, did you meet an acquaintance halfway and get tripped up?"

”Zhuge Yi couldn't cry or laugh, he had only been away for less than half a pillar of incense, where had it been for a long time?

Although the little girl was very bold, she dared to hug him and be coquettish in front of the second old lady Li, so she almost pursed her cherry lips and kissed her to express her "grudge".Enjoying the little Jiao Man in his arms, Zhuge Yi almost hugged her and walked forward.Sit on the stool she just sat on and place her on her lap.The cold and slender fingers gently pinched the white and round little face, and he said to the second old lady Li in a good mood: "As the saying goes, it is good to enjoy the shade with your back against the big tree.I am only the chief treasurer of Ling Ye, but I am not his subordinate.Just as I am in Ciyu Town, although I am under the fence, I am not a slave, and the rise and fall of the eight major clans have nothing to do with me. ”"Uncle Zhuge Zi, whose subordinate are you?

The living dead?

”The last patience of the second old lady was exhausted, too eager to get an answer, too eager to determine whether his allies had a strong background.Zhuge Yi said lightly: "Why is the second old lady Li in a hurry to know my relationship with the living dead?

Aren't you satisfied with getting acquainted with Ling Ye and Qin Wuye, and even the world's largest businessman?

”"If you can use it to my best use, why not?"

The second old lady Li revealed her true colors, and her greedy nature was clear.To this day, no matter how pretending to conceal it, not only will he not be trusted by Zhuge Yi, but it will cause him to be vigilant.Zhuge Yi admired the old lady Li's scheming and thoughtfulness, and acted in a measured manner.The last time Begonia wrote the words "living dead" in the palm of his hand, he immediately figured out the abacus in his heart to plan a plan that would benefit him.I have to say that the second old lady Li is the world's most amazing talent, although he is already in his sixtieth year."

Zhuge boy, I just want you to tell the truth.""

Yes.I know the living dead, but I'm not his subordinate. ”The answer given by Zhuge Yi made the second old lady Li both happy and disappointed."

The world's four famous businessmen, you have made friends with three at a young age, it seems that I am really old."

The second old lady sighed to herself.Zhuge Yi'er said leisurely: "No, it's four."

Unfortunately, the owner of Qingzhou Flower Room and I forgot to make friends. ”A thunderclap sounded on the ground, making the second old lady finally understand the truth that heroes have been young since ancient times."

The owner of the Qingzhou Flower Room?

The master of the wordless son?

”"Exactly."

Let's take the old man's stunned expression as a compliment.Zhuge Yi didn't feel a little guilty in his heart.Looking down at the quiet little girl in his arms, he was a little embarrassed when he met her mocking eyes.Master, you are the living dead, won't you blush if you lie and deceive an old man like this?"

Ahem!"

Blushing what?

The old man had a few years to live, and he had never seen the living dead with his own eyes.What happened to me as a living dead?

What's wrong with me knowing myself?

I'm not lying, I just know what's wrong with myself?

Li Haitang threw Zhuge Yi a "Master is so thick-skinned" complimenting look, suddenly changed his aggrieved face, and touched his stomach, "Master, I'm dying of hunger, let's go eat." ”"Ahem!

Good. ”Zhuge Yi was very satisfied with the good excuse that the little apprentice gave him.Directly picked her up and walked to the east house, turned his back to the old man sitting at the table and said, "Second old lady Li, please go back."

The day you return to Ciyu Town will be the time when you take charge of the Li Clan. ”"Haha!

Thanks a lot!

”The second old lady Li was ecstatic.He finally waited for Zhuge Yi's promise, and it was worth the trip.() Glory to the end
