Chapter 7 2. Missy's decision

"What kind of person is Baili Mingming?" "He is the most famous and mysterious person in the world in the last five hundred years." "Since it is so famous, how can it be mysterious?" "He became famous at the age of 20, founded Baili City at the age of 30, and developed it into the most powerful organization in the Jianghu at the age of 40. Anyone with ears in the martial arts world has heard of his name, but he has seen it with his own eyes. There are no more than ten of his people in total. It is said that he is not tall, likes to wear gray clothes, and is good at wielding a sword."

"But there are so many people like this in Jianghu that they can't be counted." "good." "So, what kind of place is Baili City?" "There is a city on the water, named Baili, I only hear its name, but I don't see it." "What's the meaning?" "Except for the people in Baili City, no one knows the meaning of this sentence." "You don't know either?" "I'm not from Baili City." Feng Xiansu is indeed not from Baili City, she is from the Gong family. She had just turned five years old when my father took her in outside the palace gate.But at that time, her mind was already full of all kinds of anecdotes.

This shows two things: first, someone told Feng Xiansu about these things; second, her memory is very good. I also have a good memory. The conversation above happened two or three years ago, but when Baili Chenfeng mentioned the word "city lord", it immediately jumped into my mind without saying a single word. Then, I wanted to ask Baili Chenfeng a question: Your city lord is dead, what does it matter to me? I don't know him at all! People die every moment in this world, if everyone had to use the Alga bottle to save lives, the bottle would have been worn down long ago. What's more, the invitations from the Gong family for ten consecutive years can only be sent to the Luoyang branch of Baili City, and they don't even know where the gate of his house will open.Contempt so far, upon hearing the news of the old man's death, I'm considered very gracious not to set off firecrackers.

But at this moment, Feng Xiansu suddenly said: "Mr. Baili, the gilt silver gilt bottle with three cobalt pestle patterns is a treasure handed down from the palace family, and has never been borrowed. But the status of the lord of your city is very special, maybe the eldest lady will Make an exception for this, let her think about it before making a decision, how about it?" I frowned, and glanced at Feng Xiansu lightly, a little displeased, but more surprised. ——She is not someone who likes to make decisions without authorization, what happened this time? Anyway, Baili Chenfeng is a guest after all, if I want to reject him, I should really wait until there are no outsiders present.

After making up my mind, I asked the guests to take a rest first, to recharge their energy to participate in the two days of singing and dancing feast, and then watched them leave the venue with a smile. Everyone seemed very disappointed, but no one was stupid enough to fight with Baili City.But it doesn't matter, anyway, my goal has been achieved, I just use their mouths to go back and publicize that the palace family's rare treasures are still wonderful in the world, and I will lead the palace family to reach the peak again, that's all.As for whether the deal can be made or not, and with whom, I don't care.

I stepped out of the door of the exhibition hall. The two people walking in front were Xiao Zuo and Baili Chenfeng. The bastard suddenly turned his head and stared at me. To him, it was the most contemptuous gesture, but that bastard suddenly leaned into Baili Chenfeng's ear and said something, the two of them laughed together. A cold air rushed to my forehead from the soles of my feet. I'm sure he was talking about me, and he definitely couldn't say anything good!If someone could tell me what that bastard just said, I'd say yes to anything but a physical promise. Right at the head of the fire, Feng Xiansu's voice suddenly came from behind: "Miss."

I turned my head and she had a serious expression on her face, "We need to talk." I knew what she wanted to talk about, so I decided not to give her this chance, "Aquarius will never be borrowed!" Even if Baili Chenfeng made friends with that bastard, I wouldn't borrow it. ——After the incident just now, Xiao Zuo has been upgraded from a bastard to a bastard in my heart. I've never been so disgusted with a person, let's put it this way: I literally want to throw up at the sight of him, and I'll do whatever it takes to get it right on his head! Feng Xiansu obviously didn't know that my enmity with Xiao Zuo was already so deep, otherwise she would understand how difficult it is to persuade me.But she didn't understand, and I had to listen to her babble.

Of course, there is another important reason for me to tolerate her: she is always indifferent and reserved, but she seems to be very interested in this matter, and she actually begged for mercy for the first time. I want to know why. However, when Feng Xiansu said, "In less than three days, everyone in Jianghu will know that even Baili City has borrowed treasures from the Gong family, and the reputation of the Gong family will definitely rise to a higher level by then", I have heard it before. Impatient heart suddenly settled. When she said, "Opportunities to make Baili City owe favors don't come often. The young lady is in charge of important affairs at the beginning, and there will be no guarantee that they will be useful to them in the future", I have already pricked up my ears and listened carefully.

When she said, "If the eldest lady is willing to lend the treasure, it will definitely become a good story in the world", the words "Jade lends treasure, the world praises it" popped up in my mind. Then, I interrupted her and said flatly: "Okay, let me think about it before making a decision." The next day, I agreed to lend the priceless ancestral treasure "gilt-gilt three-cobalt pestle-patterned silver vase".However, for the sake of safety, Baili Chenfeng must go on the road with me and the fifty cavalry led by the chief wind officer, and escort Aquarius to Baili City.

All the guests were present when the announcement was made, and I'm sure the news will spread quickly. Although Baili Chenfeng was unexpectedly traveling with me, but considering the value of the vase, there was no other way. But Feng Xiansu's reaction was beyond my expectation. She didn't look surprised at all. It seemed that she had not only expected that I would lend her a loan, but also knew that I would request an escort. Seeing the flickering look in her eyes, I suddenly felt that even if I didn't make this request, she would. When the guests dispersed and only me, Feng Xiansu and the lingering Xiao Zuo were in the flower hall, Baili Chenfeng stood up and thanked me, "Thank you Miss Gong for your generous loan. Baili City will never forget it. In the future If it is useful for Baili City, please feel free to speak up, I will not hesitate to do so."

His expression was very serious, and his salute was very solemn, so I also stood up, wanting to say something polite.Who knew, Xiao Zuo interrupted just after he said "Why do you need so much courtesy?" "Only a fool would not do something that is beneficial to a book! I think Miss Gong's ingenuity at the exhibition is not a fool. Chenfeng, you are really polite." Although I was so angry by him that I jumped my feet again, but in my heart I was amazed by his sharp thinking: it is indeed a three-fold thing to improve the family's reputation, get the promise of Baili City, and build a prestige for myself. Xiao Zuo was only a little bit wrong. I'm afraid even a fool would be willing to do such a thing. Although I was surprised, I still said coldly: "My lady has something important to discuss with Mr. Baili, it has nothing to do with anyone, please go out." Xiao Zuo looked back and forth, left and right, but his buttocks were firmly glued to the chair, showing no intention of leaving. How could there be such blind people in the world?I gritted my teeth and said, "You! I told you to get out!" "Me?" He looked at me innocently, "I'm not unrelated." I sneered, "What do you have to do with this matter?" "I don't want to have anything to do with it!" He said with a bitter face, "But I have promised Chenfeng to be your precious bottle's bodyguard until it reaches Baili City safely." I was so surprised that even my voice changed, "What did you say? He asked you to be a bodyguard? He actually asked you to be a bodyguard?" "Yes!" He seemed to be more surprised than me, and shouted louder than me, "Don't you know?" I brushed my hair and was stunned for a long time, then suddenly turned to Baili Chenfeng, and said, "Mr. Baili, I am firmly opposed to letting this person go with me! In fact, I am sure that if he is the bodyguard, there will be no more people in the Pingjia bottle." Safe to say the least!" Before Baili Chenfeng could answer, Xiao Zuo stood up, bowed respectfully to me, and said, "Miss Gong, thank you! Thank you so much!" I was in a daze again. He said: "It's a long way to go to Baili City, and you have to pass through six or seven bandit lairs, seven or eight bandit sites, and eight or nine thieves strongholds. It’s a bit of friendship, but you are carrying so many treasures, I really doubt how reliable friendship can be under the temptation of money. I was born afraid of trouble, especially such a big trouble, I usually can’t hide in time. But Recently I was poor, Chenfeng promised to give me a large sum of money after the matter is completed, and begged me for a long time before I reluctantly agreed to such a stupid thing as a bodyguard for a bottle. I didn't expect you to save me! You saved me Killed me! Thank you thank you!" He babbled a lot of words, and the more he talked, the more excited he became, and in the end he was so moved that he almost shed tears. The more I listened, the more my heart sank. In the end, my heartbeat almost stopped. I couldn't help asking: "Where is Baili City?" "In Shuzhong." The person who answered me was Baili Chenfeng. "What? So far away!" I was taken aback, looked at him and said, "You said your city lord passed away three days ago, but you arrived in Luoyang two days later, how do you explain it?" "This is because my city lord knew that the end was coming, so he ordered me to leave for Luoyang half a month ago." Baili Chenfeng said, "This trip is thousands of miles away. Please bear with me for the hard work of Miss Gong. .” "That's okay. The problem is..." Gong Feicui glanced at Xiao Zuo, gritted her teeth, and said, "Do you really need him to lead the team?" Jian Chenfeng nodded and said: "Brother Xiao is familiar with the terrain in all directions. When it comes to arranging the itinerary, it may be difficult to find someone more authoritative than him." That is to say, this bastard must lead the team no matter what?I cursed in my heart, and couldn't help but glance at Xiao Zuo again. And he, probably because he talked too much, grabbed the teacup on the coffee table and drank it all, then stared at the empty cup in his hand for a long time, and murmured: "Jade?" He suddenly said to me, "This cup, I can Do you want to take it away? It can be counted as a visit to the Gong family, let’s keep it as a souvenir.” Looking at his behavior as a money fan, I believe it's strange that he just wants to keep a souvenir. ——He would rather beg for a teacup from me than earn Baili Chenfeng's "big money"? I stared at him fiercely for a long, long time before I took a deep breath and said, "Okay, let's go together!" Baili Chenfeng's tight body suddenly relaxed, and even Feng Xiansu seemed to be at ease. Xiao Zuo's expression was still so lazy, and he said slowly: "It's okay to go together, but there must be three rules." "Okay." I responded casually, and immediately came back to my senses and shouted, "What's the deal?" Xiao Zuo said: "First, it's best to be safe on this journey, and don't cause trouble. I know that some people are born to cause trouble, but for the sake of the overall situation, the most important thing is to reach Baili City safely." I looked at him carefully, as if trying to find a flower on his face, and suddenly smiled and said, "You are absolutely right! I have never heard such a reasonable thing in my life!" Xiao Zuo said again: "Secondly, we each go our own way and settle our own affairs. It's best not to bother each other." My smile deepened, and I said, "Of course this is the best." "Third, don't retreat. Since you are on the road, you must send your things to the ground." He looked at me desperately, and said, "I have always suspected that someone would sneak away with a vase on the way, so I was afraid It's going to kill me!" I was smiling so brightly that I couldn't speak, I could only nod my head. Feng Xiansu looked at me with strange eyes—she was probably afraid that I would be pissed off. She's known me since I was five years old and of course knows how angry I was because of how big my smile was. That bastard Xiao Zuo actually said everything I was supposed to say first!It just doesn't make sense! "Miss is smiling so happily, she must think that what I said is very reasonable, so let's make a deal like this?" "Why not?" I immediately squeezed out a bigger smile, and said in a gentle manner, "Young Master Xiao is so knowledgeable, I am really happy, I am so happy!" Kill him!
