Chapter 529 Conflict(1/3)
Li Muchan also gave two yellow flowers to Jin Qiaoqiao that night, and Lin Ping gave four. He won the first prize directly and went to the stage to wear it for Jin Qiaoqiao.
Jin Qiaoqiao had a frosty face and didn't even look at Lin Ping. Lin Ping just smiled and didn't care, looking affectionate, calm and generous.
Everyone looked at it and laughed secretly, but did not dare to laugh out loud. Some people felt that Mr. Lin was just being sentimental and had no chance at all. No matter how powerful he was, he could not defeat the city guard.
Some people also think that this is Miss Qiaoqiao trying to hide her love for Mr. Lin, and deliberately pretending to be indifferent to avoid misunderstanding. It is the shyness of her daughter's family, which is very touching.
Li Muchan sat next to Wan Niang, looked at Lin Ping with a smile, and shook his head secretly. People in Yuhan Palace would not be tempted by others. Their faces were smiling like a blooming flower, but their hearts were like ice and snow.
This is caused by the mentality and the education I received since childhood. I am wary and hostile towards men. If I want to impress them, ordinary people cannot do it. They need opportunities.
Don't talk about using money to invite favors. Even if you have sincerity, you can't get sincerity. Lin Ping doesn't know it. It's really sad.
Before leaving the stage, Jin Qiaoqiao suddenly glanced this way and met Li Muchan's eyes.
Wan Niang pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Mr. Jiang, Sister Qiaoqiao seems to be interested in Mr. Jiang!"
Li Muchan couldn't help but laugh: "Wan Niang, don't tell jokes, haha, I want looks but no looks, I want talent but no talent, I want power but no power, but I don't dare to have any extravagant hopes!"
Wan Niang covered her mouth with her sleeves and chuckled twice. She held the pot in her bare hands and helped him fill the wine cup. She smiled and said, "Mr. I don't understand what my daughter's family is thinking!"
Li Muchan picked up the wine cup and said with a smile: "I don't understand my daughter's thoughts, but I also know that it is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, right?"
Wan Niang smiled and said: "Master Lin is very powerful, but in the eyes of sister Qiao Qiao, he is nothing."
"Haha..." Li Muchan took a sip of wine and just shook his head and smiled.
Jin Qiaoqiao lives in a brothel, and her motives are not trivial, and she will never involve her children's personal affairs. Besides, the way she is dressed now is just a poor life after living in poverty for half her life. There is really nothing that can impress people.
Wan Niang smiled and said, "If you, sir, can win sister Qiaoqiao's heart and become a relative of the city guard, no matter how strong Mr. Lin is, he will not dare to offend you."
"Oh——?" Li Muchan suddenly became interested and said with a smile: "Is the city guard so powerful?"
"The city guard is the lord of a city." Wan Niang smiled.
Li Muchan shook his head: "It is said that we have two great families in Nanli, the Lin family and the Fang family. As a direct disciple of the Lin family, Mr. Lin is also the young altar master of Sanxiao Hall. How much is the city guard not afraid of him?"
Wan Niang smiled and said, "Sir, don't you know the name of the city guard?"
Li Muchan shook his head: "I don't know."
"The surname of the city guard is Fang." Wan Niang smiled, holding the pot and pouring another cup for him.
****************************
Li Muchan was startled, then shook his head and laughed. He understood that the city guard was a disciple of the Fang family, no wonder he dared to come to Baiyun City.
Wan Niang smiled and said: "Mr. Fang is the eldest grandson of the Fang family. He is expected to take over as the head of the Fang family in the future. Although Mr. Lin is from the Lin family, he is only a branch of the family. His status is far behind. Moreover, the people are not as good as the officials.
Dou, although Sanxiao Hall is big, if it offends the imperial court, there will be no good consequences."
"I really learned a lot, thank you Wan Niang." Li Muchan said with a smile.
Wan Niang pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Sir, don't blame Wan Niang for being a master of tricks!"
Li Muchan waved his hands and laughed, secretly thinking about the relationship between Yuhan Palace and the Fang family. He vaguely guessed that the two families might have formed an alliance.
This Tanchun Tower is probably a secret whistle in Yuhan Palace, and Wan Niang beside him also has a faint aura, which is familiar yet unfamiliar to him.
He could feel it because of Su Yunyun. Otherwise, it would be difficult to detect it purely based on martial arts.
The two of them were talking in a low voice when a middle-aged woman walked into the room and approached Li Muchan: "Mr. Jiang, Miss Jiang invites you."
Li Muchan put down the wine cup and said with a smile: "Miss Qiaoqiao, don't you invite Mr. Lin?"
This middle-aged woman was someone close to Jin Qiaoqiao. I don't know if she was a nanny or a personal maid, but this middle-aged woman's martial arts skills were extremely high.
The middle-aged woman said: "Young ladies never invite Mr. Lin."
"Okay, it's better to be respectful than to obey." Li Muchan stood up, smiled at Wan Niang, hugged his fists, and left.
Arriving on the third floor, the middle-aged woman opened the door and turned around to greet her. Li Muchan stepped into Jin Qiaoqiao's room and saw that Jin Qiaoqiao was already sitting behind a round table with food and wine on the table.
She was dressed in white, and her shawl-shaped hair was like black satin, which glowed black under the lamp, making her face whiter and brighter, as crystal clear as jade.
"Sir, please." She stood up and smiled.
Li Muchan smiled and said: "Miss Qiaoqiao invited me, it's a great honor."
He sat across from Jin Qiaoqiao, and the aroma of the food on the table whetted his appetite. He smiled and said, "Why do you need such warm hospitality?"
Jin Qiaoqiao waved her hand: "Mother Yang, go down."
"Yes, Miss." The middle-aged woman, Yang Ma, agreed, glanced at Li Muchan, and then at Jin Qiaoqiao, who remained calm.
Although Li Muchan had his back turned, he could clearly see her expression and smiled secretly. It seemed that this Yang Ma was Jin Qiaoqiao's bodyguard.
After she went out, Li Muchan smiled and said, "What does Miss Qiaoqiao have to say?"
Jin Qiaoqiao stared at Li Muchan, her round, bright and moist eyes unblinking, as if she wanted to see into his heart.
Li Muchan looked at her with a smile, not surprised and remained calm.
***************************************************
*****
After a long while, she said: "Mr. Jiang, who are you?"
Li Muchan smiled and said: "I'm just a nobody, why should Miss Qiaoqiao be worried about me?"
Jin Qiaoqiao shook her head: "I sent a message to the palace last night. Senior Sister Su has been released from seclusion. When I heard the news about you, I had to ask who you are!"
Li Muchan smiled: "Just an old friend."
"Sir, just tell me!" Jin Qiaoqiao blinked her big bright eyes, the waves were flowing and charming.
Li Muchan smiled and shook his head, only smiling and saying nothing.
Jin Qiaoqiao rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, if you don't say it, don't say it. Let's drink and eat!"
She stood up, held the pot, filled the silver cup for Li Muchan, and said with a smile, "Mr. Jiang, I heard some news."
Li Muchan nodded in thanks, picked up the silver cup and said with a smile, "What's the news?"
"Master Lin wants to kill you, sir." Jin Qiaoqiao said.
"Kill me?" The silver cup stopped at his lips, Li Muchan said with a smile: "Just because of my closeness to Miss Qiaoqiao, he is going to kill someone?"
Jin Qiaoqiao sighed: "In the eyes of these eldest sons from aristocratic families, human life is as worthless as an ant. Anyone who hinders them will be eliminated without hesitation."
Li Muchan frowned and said, "Is there no king's method?"
Jin Qiaoqiao smiled bitterly: "Sir, it's true... Wang's law is in charge of the common people. How can Wang's law restrain them?...Besides, even if there are sanctions by Wang's law, it can't restrain them. Someone will come out and recognize them."
offense."
Li Muchan said: "That's true, it's Jiang Mou who is naive."
Jin Qiaoqiao smiled and said: "Sir, this is a humble meal for you. After dinner, you will leave the city immediately and you will not be able to come back again!"
Li Muchan laughed: "Jiang just left in such a dejected manner?"
Jin Qiaoqiao said: "Sir, as the saying goes, if you keep the green hills, you won't be afraid of running out of firewood. This is Baiyun City, and the Lin family is powerful. Sir, it's better to stay away. A gentleman doesn't build a dangerous wall, right?"
Li Muchan shook his head: "I don't believe it, but I want to see how domineering the Lin family is, how dare they kill people for such a trivial matter."
Jin Qiaoqiao frowned: "Sir!"
Li Muchan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Although I am a scholar, I have also practiced several swordsmanship, so I still need to protect myself."
Jin Qiaoqiao laughed: "Sir, your martial arts skills are great, but how do you compare to Sanxiaotang?"
Li Muchan pondered for a moment and shook his head: "There are many masters in Sanxiao Hall, but I am not as good as them."
Jin Qiaoqiao said: "That's good. Mr. Lin can send the experts from Sanxiaotang. Can you resist?"
"Well..." Li Muchan pondered, shook his head and sighed: "No."
"In that case, why are you still so persistent, sir? Let's go -!" Jin Qiaoqiao advised with sincerity.
Li Muchan secretly laughed, but this was teasing Jin Qiaoqiao to see if she had any patience.
**********************************
Li Muchan thought for a moment and nodded slowly: "Since Miss Qiaoqiao said so, Jiang agreed!"
Jin Qiaoqiao breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said: "Okay, sir, you are so free and easy to choose. You are really cool. Qiaoqiao admires it. Here's a toast to you!"
Li Muchan clinked his silver cup with her and drank it all with a smile.
The two chatted and laughed, Li Muchan ate happily, the food and wine on the table were delicious, and it seemed that a lot of thought had been put into them, and Jin Qiaoqiao smiled as brightly as a flower.
The two chatted all over the place, chatting and laughing happily, and they were very harmonious.
While they were talking and laughing, footsteps suddenly sounded, and then the door was knocked: "Miss, Mr. Lin insists on seeing you."
Jin Qiaoqiao stopped the silver chopsticks angrily and waved her little hand: "No, Yang Ma, tell him I'm tired and go to bed!"
She drank two glasses of wine, and her fair and jade-like face became more delicate and charming, and her big eyes became more watery, like a pool of autumn water. The light shimmered as she looked around, making people feel lost.
The middle-aged woman whispered: "It seems that Mr. Lin is very determined, and he has also drunk a lot of wine... Miss, it's better to meet him, so as not to cause trouble!"
"Humph, this is Tanchun Tower. If he causes trouble, throw him out!" Jin Qiaoqiao said impatiently.
