A Clash of Gods - Chapter 218

[Chapter 7 Flames]

Duan Canghai also squatted down beside Qi Ning, saw Qi Ning pulling the man’s sleeves off, and saw Qi Ning’s face change slightly, knowing that something was wrong, and asked, “Master Hou, what’s the matter?”

Qi Ning didn’t answer, he pondered for a while, then raised his head and asked Wang Xiang, “What is this man’s name? What is he doing on the boat?”

“In the words of Lord Hou, his name is Xu Gan, and he is the buyer on the ship.” Wang Xiang hurriedly replied: “The daily expenses on the ship are all purchased by Xu Gan.”

“What about the others?” Qi Ning said, “Apart from Xu Gan who often gets off the boat, do others get off the boat often?”

Wang Xiang hurriedly said: “Back to the Hou Ye, business on the Qinhuai River only starts at night, so except for Xu Gan who goes out to buy during the day, everyone rests during the day and works at night. These days, except for the villain who goes to the Hou’s mansion to invite Marquis, the others have not disembarked, the girl will give everyone a day off every month, when the holiday is over, you can disembark, but you can’t leave easily on weekdays.”

Qi Ning frowned and asked, “Xu Gancai buys things, is there no one to follow?”

“Everything I buy is sent directly to me.” Wang Xiang explained: “They are all acquaintances. Xu Gan just needs to go to the store with the purchase order and say hello.”

“So, you and Xu Gan are the only ones who got off the boat these days?” Qi Ning looked solemn.

In fact, Wang Xiang also felt that something was wrong, so he didn’t dare to make the slightest mistake. After thinking about it, he said, “Master Hou, the last time everyone got off the boat was seventeen days ago. After that time, except for the villain and Xu Gan, everyone never left.”

Qi Ning stood up, glanced at everyone around him, and asked, “Apart from Xian’er, how many people are there on board?”

Wang Xiang said: “There are four boatmen, three cooks, and four guards, plus Xu Gan who is in charge of buying and the villain, there are thirteen men in total, and four maids serve the young lady. In addition to the girl, there are a total of Seventeen people.”

“Call all the men on the boat.” Qi Ning looked stern.

Wang Xiang didn’t dare to delay, so he hurriedly went to find the men on the boat. Duan Canghai took the opportunity to ask again, “Master Hou, have you noticed anything unusual?”

Qi Ning smiled bitterly and said, “I just hope that I guessed wrong, or else something big will happen again this time.”

“event?”

Qi Ning said, “Don’t be impatient. If I guessed correctly, it will break out very soon. If you don’t want to know, it won’t happen.” Suddenly, he felt that someone was looking at him. When he looked up, he saw Zhuo Xian’er standing on the second From the side of the ship, looking at herself from a distance, she was wrapped in that white cloak, and in the night wind, she looked unusually delicate.

Qi Ning gave Zhuo Xian’er a gentle smile and said, “It’s nothing major, it’s too cold outside, don’t be cold.”

Zhuo Xian’er nodded obediently, turned to go back to the cabin, Duan Canghai leaned in and whispered, “Master Hou, I’m afraid this girl is really in love with you. She hasn’t really set foot in the field of Fengyue, and her friendship with Master Hou, It shouldn’t be fake.”

Qi Ning could actually feel that Zhuo Xian’er was not so considerate of herself because of her status as a brocade lord. After all, he was also a well-informed person. Is the woman acting in a show with false feelings or really moved her true feelings. He can also judge.

“Second Uncle Duan, I need your help with something.” Qi Ning hesitated for a moment before saying, “I will send someone tomorrow to watch over the neighborhood. I may have some things to do these days, but Miss Xian’er is here from tomorrow. At first, I didn’t want to see anyone else on her boat.”

Duan Canghai understood and smiled: “Master Hou, this is not a big deal, just leave it to me.”

At this time, Wang Xiang had gathered all the men on the boat, and stood in a row according to Qi Ning’s instructions. Everyone was uneasy and didn’t know what happened.

“Pull up your sleeves.” Qi Ning said, “Duan Canghai, you are carrying a lantern.”

Duan Canghai immediately understood what Qi Ning wanted to do. He took the lantern and held it in his hands. Everyone on the boat did not dare to delay. Following Qi Ning’s instructions, they all pulled up their sleeves.

Qi Ning watched one by one,

When he reached the third person, his color changed slightly, and he said, “Come out and stand aside.”

The man didn’t know why, but he didn’t dare to defy it. He walked out of the queue and stood aside.

When Qi Ning came to the end, except for Xu Gan, who was lying unconscious on the ground, eight of the remaining twelve people were called out by Qi Ning, including Wang Xiang.

Everyone looked at each other in dismay, but Duan Canghai had already seen the fame. The eight people who were called out by Qi Ning had more or less red spots on their arms. .

Wang Xiang felt that something was wrong, so he couldn’t help but ask, “Master Hou, this… what’s going on here?”

“It’s hard to explain now, but remember, you must never go upstairs.” Qi Ning looked solemn and did not explain much. She went up to the second floor and entered the cabin. Zhuo Xian’er had already greeted her and asked: “Master Hou, did something big happen?”

“Xian’er, do you still have four maids here?” Qi Ning did not explain, but let them in first.

Seeing Qi Ning’s serious expression, Zhuo Xian’er hurriedly called a few people in, but Qi Ning couldn’t care about anything else at this time, so they rolled up their sleeves and took a closer look at the lights, and breathed a sigh of relief.

The maids upstairs have no marks on their arms.

“You go down first, but don’t go downstairs for the time being.” Qi Ning ordered: “Don’t touch the men on the boat.”

“Master Hou, what’s wrong?” Zhuo Xian’er asked anxiously when the maids left.

Qi Ning thought for a while before saying, “Xian’er, there should be a disease spreading on your ship. The person you saw just now is crazy, not really crazy, it should be a disease attack.”

“Ah?” Zhuo Xian’er said in surprise, “Illness?”

Qi Ning said: “I don’t know exactly what the situation is now, but this disease should spread very fast. Fortunately, you guys are safe and sound for the time being, but remember, don’t come into contact with the men downstairs, they In the middle, most of them are already infected.”

Zhuo Xian’er’s pretty face turned pale, and she seemed a little flustered: “Then… what should I do?”

“Don’t worry, I’ll go back now and find a way.” Qi Ning sighed, thinking that it should have been a good night, but who knew that such an accident would happen.

He knew that the sooner this kind of thing was resolved, the better, and there was no delay. He reached out and patted Zhuo Xian’er’s face softly, and said softly, “Don’t worry, you stay here first, listen to me, don’t go downstairs, and more Don’t let the people below come up. I don’t know what the path of the spread is at the moment, but … as long as you don’t come into close contact, you should be fine.”

“Xian’er… Xian’er listened to you.” Zhuo Xian’er said obediently: “But… but Lord Hou had just been in contact with them, will it be okay?”

Qi Ning thought to herself that I am not worried about this now, but still smiled: “I have a short contact time, so it should be fine.” After a pause, he said, “Xian’er, I will go first, and come back as soon as possible to help them treat.”

Zhuo Xian’er nodded and said, “Okay, Xian’er is waiting for you to come back.”

Zhuo Xian’er stood on the side of the ship upstairs, watching Qi Ning and Duan Canghai leave, and then returned to the cabin until she could no longer see her figure.

Just entered the cabin, but saw a person standing beside the window, facing outside the window, with his back to Zhuo Xian’er, wearing a black cloak, a certain black leather hat on his head, and his hands on his back. On the back of his hand, there was a flame that seemed to be burning.

Zhuo Xian’er was not surprised, she just walked to the side of the chair, sat slantingly, raised one hand, looked at her verdant hands, her fingernails were dyed with red phoenix juice, her voice was indifferent: “You seem to be enjoying it without telling. the feeling of being in.”

The man didn’t look back, just said lightly: “You seem to enjoy having sex with that man too.” His voice was deep and deep, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

“Oh?” Zhuo Xian’er raised her eyebrows slightly, and a smile appeared on her lips: “Why, you can’t get used to it? Or have you been peeking outside?”

“If nothing happened outside, would you really want to sleep with him?” the man said lightly, “I don’t think you would be so confused.”

Zhuo Xian’er looked at her slender hand and said with a smile, “You don’t seem to care who I am with.”

“I don’t care what you want to do.” The man said: “But don’t forget, if the overall plan is broken because of your own mistakes, it will not be just me who is unhappy.”

Zhuo Xian’er frowned slightly and said, “I don’t need your reminder, I know what I’m doing.”

“But you are ready to sleep with him.” The man’s voice was very indifferent: “Don’t forget, he is from the Qi family. As far as I know, this man just came down from the Daguang Temple not long ago. what?”

“What’s the meaning?”

“Mo Lancang’s second disciple, Bai Yuhe, was defeated by him.” The hands on the back of the man moved unconsciously, and the flame on the back of his hands seemed to be burning, and said slowly: “And it is said that this man He defeated Bai Yuhe with just one move, UU reading www.sonicmtl.com Do you think this person is an ordinary person?”

Zhuo Xian’er was stunned for a moment, then smiled: “It turns out that his martial arts are so powerful, but I underestimate him.” He raised his head slightly, his swan-like neck was as white as jade, and he had a sweet smile on his face: “He looks like It’s gentle, but it turns out that martial arts are also very good.”

He heard the man snort coldly and said, “Are you really in love with him?”

Zhuo Xian’er did not answer, but instead asked: “We have never had a good way, but this time we met him by accident, don’t you think this is a great opportunity?”

“Of course I know.” The man sneered: “I’m just worried that you are confused. You must know that when you want to do big things, you must never be emotional, especially in this case, if you are really emotional, you will become Given the biggest variable and weakness of this plan, of course I don’t allow such a thing to happen.” He snorted coldly: “If you want to use the heart attack on him, make him mistakenly think that he has sex with you. , I advise you to give up this idea, you don’t know the depth of this person, if he sees through it, all previous efforts will be forfeited.”

Zhuo Xian’er’s lips moved slightly, but she did not speak.

“Beigong Liancheng has blood relatives with him. If this person can defeat Bai Yuhe with one move, he must have a connection with Beigong Liancheng, which also proves that Beigong Liancheng is not dead.” The man said slowly: “We can’t anger Bei Gong Liancheng yet. Gong Liancheng, so be careful about this person, not only let this person be used by us, but also… we must never let Bei Gong Liancheng discover our existence.”

Zhuo Xian’er chuckled and said with a hint of sarcasm: “It seems that you are very afraid of Beigong Liancheng, is he really that scary?”

“If you see him one day, you will never laugh.” The man didn’t turn around from the beginning to the end, his voice was low: “When he finds out that we exist, it may be our end!”
