Cyber Daming

Chapter 121 Undercurrent (1)

The brightly lit Chengdu County Government Office has a flock of scarlet-eyed birds hovering in the sky.

The pointed beak of the Nite Owl flashed with the cold metallic light of a firearm, and bombs the size of a thumb hung under the Nite Owl's wings.

They are distinct from each other, but they seem to be integrated under the dark curtain.

In the main hall in the backyard of the county government office, a slightly shabby banquet had been set up.

It can be said that the three officials of the Civil Service Examination Department, headed by Zhang Xian, did not show any disgust on their faces, and their smiles were even brighter than before.

It seems that these home-cooked meals are more mouth-watering than the delicacies of the past.

"Master Zhang, please take a seat."

Huang Yaozong spoke politely and invited Zhang Xian to sit on the main seat facing the door.

"Only Mr. Pei is qualified to sit in this position."

Zhang Xian shook his head and refused, turned to look at Pei Xingjian, and saw the old man casually opening the seat next to the door.

"Of course only the protagonist can take the main seat. I'm just a foil today, so just sit here."

"What Mr. Pei said is that this position does not belong to the two of us today."

Zhang Xian laughed when he heard this, raised his legs and sat next to Pei Xingjian.

Zhang Xian, the highest official, doesn't sit down, and Pei Xingjian, the oldest, doesn't sit down either, so who will sit down?

Now it was the turn of the three people who were still standing to be in trouble. They all looked embarrassed and froze in place.

Zhang Xian saw this and laughed loudly: "Feng Zhanggu, Yao Zhanggu, although I am the team leader for this recommendation, you two are still responsible for the specific evaluation, so you two are the protagonists today, and you should take this seat." .”

Hearing this, Feng Huang and Yao Chongli's hearts trembled almost at the same time, and their thoughts whirled rapidly in their minds.

There are two people in this palm, but there is only one main seat, so who will sit there?

What does Zhang Xian mean by asking them to compete for this position?

Along the way, both Feng Huang and Yao Chongli had implicitly expressed to Zhang Xian the scholars they admired. Are they hinting that whoever takes the lead among them will take the lead?

Feng and Yao, who were originally standing side by side, subconsciously took a step to the left and right, and there was a faint smell of gunpowder.

Pei Xingjian, who was on the side, looked at the table full of food with regret, and was even more disdainful of Zhang Xian's clumsy power tactics that smelled of showing off. He immediately raised his hand and tapped the table impatiently.

"Since the two masters are humble to each other, and Huang County Wei is the master, you can take the master's seat."

"I?"

Huang Yaozong's face was full of astonishment. When did I, a county captain, become the master?

"What Mr. Pei said is very good. Huang County Lieutenant must not refuse."

Feng and Yao's eyes lit up at the same time, and they took two steps forward in unison, sandwiching the overwhelmed Huang Yaozong in the middle, and involuntarily put him on the throne.

There are only seven seats on such a large round table. After everyone is seated, there are still two empty seats.

Zhang Xian asked Huang Yaozong, who was sitting uneasily, "Huang County Lieutenant, are there other guests?"

Huang Yaozong, who had only half of his buttocks leaning against the chair, suddenly stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Your Excellency, there are also two local nobles and nobles who are waiting by your side."

Zhang Xian said with a smile: "Are they Gu Xi and Wu Gong? When I passed through Jinling on my way south this time, I saw that I heard their parents talk about it a lot. Let them come in."

Huang Yaozong said yes, lifted up the corner of his robe, and walked out quickly.

After a while, Huang Yaozong returned, followed by Gu Xi and Wu Gong, who were wearing green and white Confucian shirts.

"Students have met your Lordships."

Zhang Xian glanced at the two of them and praised: "As expected of a disciple of a noble family, his spirit is indeed not a little bit stronger than that of ordinary students. Sit down quickly."

"Thank you, sir."

When Gu Xi and Wu Gong saw everyone's arrangement, they felt a little clear. Then they stopped hiding anything and sat next to Feng Huang and Yao Chongli respectively.

"A round table and seven chairs. The total amount of care is more than the salt in his mother's dishes."

Pei Xingjian muttered, picked up his chopsticks, wiped them with his official sleeves, and started eating by himself.

Huang Yaozong, who was sitting at the main table, forced out a smile that was uglier than crying when he saw this, and said: "Since everyone is here, then... let's use chopsticks?"

"Eight million! Sister, where did you get so much money?!"

A young man with a beard on his lips and a hint of childishness in his eyes looked at Qi Zhu in disbelief.

In his open palm lay a golden bearer bank card.

"Don't worry so much, take the money, leave Chengdu Mansion immediately and go directly to Guangnan Mansion. When you get there, someone will take you to the Annan Criminal District."

"Why are you going to a place like the criminal district where people don't shit?" The young man looked excited. "With so much money, we might as well go to Nanzhili. I heard it's there."

Snapped!

A loud and clear slap interrupted his words.

"sister"

Snapped!

There was no trace of pity in Qizhu's phoenix eyes, showing an indifference that the young man had never seen before.

"If I tell you to go, you go. I'm warning you, if you dare not listen to me this time, I won't let you go!"

The skin of the young man's cheeks was still smooth as usual after being slapped twice.

"I see."

He looked down at Qizhu's red and swollen palms and whispered: "Sister, don't be angry. I have a mechanical body. It will hurt if you hit me."

The coldness in Qi Zhu's eyes suddenly faded away, and a little sparkle flashed in her red eyes.

She took a deep breath and suppressed the surging emotions in her heart, "Qi Cheng, listen, be sure not to show off or use the money on this card along the way. You can only use it after the news has passed. Do you understand?"

"Wind? What kind of wind?"

Qizhu bit her lip, "You'll find out when you get to Annan."

The young man murmured in confusion, as if he had suddenly realized something, and asked in surprise: "I'm going alone? What about you, sister?"

Qi Zhu forced a smile and said, "The weather in Annan is too humid and I don't like it very much. Besides, I've been too tired from work in the past few years. I want to go to the Japanese pirate area to relax. I'll come see you when I come back."

Although Qi Cheng has been under the protection of Qi Zhu and has not experienced much in the world, this time he was able to detect that his sister was not telling the truth.

"Sister, have you encountered something? Tell me, I am now the follower of Bingjiu, and I have the ability to help you solve it!"

"Okay, okay, who in Chengdu County doesn't know that our family Qi Cheng is a follower? No one dares to mess with me while you are here."

Qizhu raised her hand to touch the young man's head, but was surprised to find that she could only touch the young man's shoulder. She suddenly smiled like a flower and said softly: "Sister, I've just been under too much pressure recently, so I'm a little upset, so I just I beat you, don’t hold grudges against my sister.”

The young man shook his head, "No."

"Ah Cheng, when you arrive in Annan, remember to build a house for your sister in the mountains. It doesn't have to be big or luxurious, just enough to be able to shelter from wind and rain."

Qizhu's face was full of yearning and expectation, "Sister, I just want to live alone in peace and quiet, without outsiders to disturb me, and only the mountains and rivers for company."

Qi Cheng nodded, "Okay sister, by the time you come to me, I will have already built your house for you."

"Well, he is worthy of being the only follower in our Qi family. He is capable."

Qi Zhu smiled and wiped the corners of her eyes, "Okay, let's go quickly, don't waste any time."

The young man remained frozen in place, lowering his head and saying nothing.

Qi Zhu raised her eyebrows and shouted sternly: "Let's go!"

"Sister, I know I can't help much, so I won't drag you down here. But one day, I will be able to protect you from the wind and rain."

The young man's open palms slowly closed, turned around, and strode away.

"Sister, I'll wait for you in Annan."

When he turned around, he didn't see Qi Zhu behind him, whose face was already filled with tears.

Outside the house, a black SUV parked quietly at the door.

As soon as Qi Zhu's figure appeared, a security department employee quickly opened the car door and whispered: "Sister Qi, Qian Zhongxiao just called you, and he was not very polite."

What was supposed to come finally came.

Qi Zhu sneered, her eyebrows as sharp as knives, "Then let's go and see what this manager Qian is planning to do."
