Chapter 430 You may die a violent death, but she will live a hundred years without worries
A moment later, Sang Zhixia and Bai Ziqing, both wearing gauze hats, walked out one after the other. The guards at the door stood up subconsciously when they saw them: "Second Master Bai, what are you two going to do..."
"Let's go outside the city."
Bai Ziqing waited until Sang Zhixia reached the front of him and said slowly, "My eldest sister is concerned about the porridge distribution at the porridge shed. Please lead the way and don't delay anything."
Those who were left here to keep watch were all small fry. When they heard this, they didn't dare to stop him at all. They ran in front, nodding and bowing, leading the way, for fear that talking too much would get them into trouble.
The carriage wobbled away, and inside the quiet house, Sang Zhixia looked at Old Qi, whose eyes were bloodshot, and sighed softly: "The hook has been swung out, let's go."
Old Qi looked at Sang Zhixia dressed as a maid, his throat completely choked, and after taking several deep breaths, he fulfilled his promise and bent his knees to kneel on the ground.
"Girl, I..."
"You old thing, that's enough, okay?"
Xu Yu quickly grabbed Qi Lao and stopped him from kneeling. His face turned pale and he said, "If you want to leave, do it now. Stop all this nonsense that will bother my wife."
"Zhizhi has done her best. Please be more considerate and stop causing trouble."
Old Qi still felt unhappy with Xu Ou and even wanted to kick him away right now.
But when he turned his eyes to look at Sang Zhixia, Old Qi forced himself to suppress the instinct to mock him back, holding his breath and walking ahead: "Girl, follow me."
Bai Ziqing had taken away most of the spies outside the house, and the remaining ones were useless and could be easily fooled.
After leaving the house, Old Qi walked in front wearing a straw hat. He took Sang Zhixia and Xu Yu and turned a few corners before quickly entering a tavern.
Half a moment later, an old man and two young men entered the tavern and walked out one after the other. The few people who followed them were all hooked away.
In the cloth shop next door, separated from the tavern by a wall, Old Qi threw away his straw hat, smoothed his messy white hair, and whispered, "It's in the small courtyard inside. Past this door is where Yan'er lives."
As Mr. Qi spoke, he kept adjusting his clothes, as if he was afraid that Qi Yan'er would notice that he looked indecent and disheveled.
Sang Zhixia listened quietly. When she learned that Qi Yan'er had been placed here since being rescued, she was a little surprised: "We searched the city so many times, but we didn't find this place?"
How did they hide this right under Bai Chengren's nose?
Old Qi smiled and said, "Girl, do you still remember the secret passage on the mountain?"
Sang Zhixia's eyes flashed with enlightenment, and Old Qi said self-deprecatingly: "A pig brain like Hu Wei can't think of it or do it. The so-called Huwei Mountain is just a relic of the Villa."
"He thought he had it all, but in reality, he only had a third of it. The secret passages hidden in the cities of Shu are interconnected and their number is far greater than you can imagine."
"If you're curious, I'll give you a map showing the distribution and directions of these secret passages. You can just look at it as a joke to pass the time."
Mr. Qi spoke lightly about it, as if such a secret was some small thing that could be thrown away at will.
Sang Zhixia didn't dare to accept it.
Knowing too many secrets like this is not a sign of longevity.
Hearing Sang Zhixia's refusal, Old Qi was not surprised. He just shook his head and smiled: "Forget it."
"You are a person of pure mind, and it's not good for such dirty things to pollute your eyes."
"Yan'er is inside, please help me go in and check on her."
Old Qi fiddled with the door for a long time but showed no intention of going in. He just leaned against the door frame with his arms folded, looking inside through the small gap in the door.
Sang Zhixia patted the back of Xu Yu's hand to reassure him.
Xu Yu stopped at the right moment under Qi Lao's tense gaze, rubbed Sang Zhixia's eyebrows and said softly, "I'll wait for you outside the door."
"Call me if you need anything, okay?"
Sang Zhixia held Xu Yu's fingertips and said okay with a smile.
The door opened with a creak and then slowly closed. Old Qi's shoulders and back remained straight, his eyes fixed without moving.
Xu Yu stood there in silence for a long time. Suddenly, Mr. Qi said, "You are very wary of me."
Xu Yu lowered his eyes and said in a calm voice, "Is it strange?"
It's useless to talk too much nonsense in front of an intelligent person. Xu Yu didn't bother to hide his feelings and said straight to the point, "If I had seen how formidable the power left behind by Qianyuan Villa was, I wouldn't have gotten involved in your family's mess."
Xu Yu likes to cause trouble for others.
But not liking someone will become a nuisance to you.
Hearing his frankness, Old Qi sneered. He stared at the crack in the door motionlessly for a moment and said softly, "Boy, I'm not someone who knows how to repay kindness. I've done many evil things that repay kindness with hatred. I'm not a good person at heart."
"Not only are you wary of me, I also dislike you in every way and have wanted to kill you many times."
Xu Yu did help him, but so what?
For someone like Qi Lao, grudges and favors are not important, and killing or living is just a matter of thought.
Xu Yu's expression remained unchanged. He flicked his fingertips and said disdainfully, "What a coincidence, me too."
If it wasn't really inconvenient to take action, and if this old madman wasn't really troublesome, Xu Yu would have chosen to send him off earlier.
The atmosphere was tense and solemn at the moment when the murderous intention was revealed. Old Qi looked at Xu Yu solemnly and said slowly: "Your life or death is not important, but I will not harm the girl inside."
"So you might as well lower your guard and take better care of your life."
"You may die a violent death, but she will surely live a hundred years without worries."
After hearing this, Xu Yu made a playful sound of "tut" and did not respond.
Old Qi leaned gently against the door frame, closed his eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking about.
Silence returned outside the house. In the courtyard, Qi Yan'er saw Sang Zhixia coming, and her scattered gaze gradually focused. Her face was still covered with scars, but she rarely smiled.
“Hehehe…”
"It looks like you're doing well since you came back."
Sang Zhixia pulled a stool and sat next to Qi Yan'er, saying in a relaxed tone, "I thought we would never see each other again, but I didn't expect you would still remember me after you returned home."
"You came to me specially, is there something you want to tell me?"
Qi Yan'er nodded with a smile on her face. When she smiled, the scar that ran through her eyebrows twisted together, making her look particularly hideous, like a demon, but the emotions in her eyes flowed cleanly and clearly.
Sang Zhixia's eyes sore when she saw it. She noticed the cloak on Qi Yan'er and laughed, "Why are you still wearing this?"
When they were chased and had to split up, Sang Zhixia exchanged his own cloak for Qi Yan'er's.
Qi Yan'er's things had long been thrown to the bottom of the cliff by her, but the things she gave away were neatly folded and placed there.
Qi Yan'er's smile became softer. She nodded her chin at the cloak and then nodded at Sang Zhixia.
Sang Zhixia asked tentatively, "Are you going to return it to me?"
Seeing that she understood, Qi Yan'er nodded vigorously. When Sang Zhixia picked up the cloak, tears flashed in her eyes as she smiled.
Sang Zhixia was slightly stunned.
Qi Yan'er tilted her head towards Qi Laozai, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.
