I smiled and patted his shoulder and said, "Xiaoqing, why are you talking so fast lately? Take a look and take advantage of it early. You'll need it in a fight later."
Xiaoqing nodded, fumbled for a while, and finally plucked up the courage to open the elegantly shaped sandalwood box.
Although it was already late at night and the light everywhere was not bright, the moment Chen Xiaoqing opened the sandalwood box, it was full of cold light. I saw Xiaoqing's face lit up by the cold light of the dagger.
!
Chen Xiaoqing said "ah", and Xiaoqing, who was originally very calm, suddenly showed an expression of surprise, her eyes widened, and there were indeed tears in her eyes!
"You...you really gave me a new dagger!" Chen Xiaoqing was so excited that her whole voice trembled a little.
"Of course it's true. How could I be willing to lie to you?" I said with a smile. Looking at Chen Xiaoqing's surprised expression, I suddenly felt very happy in my heart.
"But...but didn't you say you don't have the money to buy it yourself?" Chen Xiaoqing obviously took my joke seriously.
But what I said is not a lie. I really can’t afford such a magical dagger: “Don’t worry, it’s not my money. Don’t forget that we also have a wealthy sponsor like Xu Changge.
"
Chen Xiaoqing tilted his head and smiled. Although he might not quite understand what this "sponsor" meant, he obviously knew that I didn't need to pay for this dagger.
"But I know you may be a nostalgic person, so this dagger is not as meaningful to you as Bai Lanshan's, but to be honest, this dagger is definitely much easier to use than that dagger, so you can
Just use it." I said.
Chen Xiaoqing shook his head violently and said: "What are you thinking about? This dagger is so good. Even if the dagger I had before was not in Bai Lanshan's hands, but in my own hands, I would not hesitate to replace it with this new one."
Yes, hahaha!"
I burst out laughing, and then I realized that Chen Xiaoqing is a very practical person, and he doesn't care about nostalgia at all. For him, practicality is always more important than anything else.
From this point of view, it doesn't matter to Xiao Qing whether Bai Lanshan returns the dagger to Xiao Qing or not.
I patted Xiaoqing's shoulder helplessly and said, "As long as you like it."
However, Xiaoqing was still excited with tears in her eyes and said: "Oh... I really don't know what to say. You gave me such a great gift, and I don't know how to repay you."
I shook my head and said, "I don't want you to repay me when I give you a gift."
But Chen Xiaoqing said: "No, I will definitely return this favor to you. Alas...how should I return it? Let me think about it again."
Seeing that Xiaoqing was so serious, I felt really embarrassed to refuse, so I nodded and said, "Okay."
Xiao Qing could not put it down for this dagger, and held it in his hand for a long time to examine it. However, he obviously had no interest in the sandalwood box, so he left it aside and ignored it.
Although the box is definitely valuable, there is no use in keeping it after all. It has no use value other than to show off when giving gifts to others, so I don't bother to worry about it anymore.
About half an hour later, Bai Lanshan finally arrived. Today, Bai Lanshan wore a smart outfit, which showed off her body curves to the fullest, and she looked like she wanted to show off her skills.
Seeing us squatting by the roadside, Bai Lanshan came over with a smile and asked: "What? You two act like migrant workers, are you shabby?"
I smiled and said, "Of course, the two of us are here to work for Boss Bai tonight, but how much salary can Boss Bai give us?"
Bai Lanshan smiled, pointed at Chen Xiaoqing and said, "What kind of salary is there for me? If he performs well, I will directly pledge my life to him."
Chen Xiaoqing just looked at the dagger in his hand and didn't even pay attention to what Bai Lanshan said.
Bai Lanshan is probably also very angry. Any beautiful woman has zero tolerance for men ignoring her beauty, and the scheming Bai Lanshan is obviously no exception.
She looked at Xiao Qing coldly, snorted and asked, "Did you get a new dagger?"
Xiaoqing is much more sensitive to the word "dagger" than "Bai Lanshan". As soon as she heard the word "dagger", Chen Xiaoqing immediately looked up at Bai Lanshan with a smile, nodded and said: "Yes, Lin Yang gave it to me, you
What do you think?"
Bai Lanshan curled her lips and said impatiently: "It doesn't look good to me." Then she specifically asked: "What about the dagger in my hand? You don't want it anymore?"
Chen Xiaoqing chuckled: "Give it to you, it's all for you anyway, I don't want it anymore."
Bai Lanshan frowned slightly and murmured in a low voice: "He is really a man who likes the new and hates the old..."
I didn't say much. After all, Bai Lanshan and Chen Xiaoqing had only known each other for a short time, and she might not have fully understood this terrifyingly realistic man.
If she really gets to know Chen Xiaoqing, she will find that her future husband is a very powerful person, a man who can think rationally at every turn and can even make the most advantageous choice at any intersection. He is destined to achieve great things.
A shocking feat.
What I am more concerned about right now is whether Bai Lanshan lied to me, and whether she really staged a drama with Xu Changsheng to lure the enemy deep into the urn and catch the turtle in the urn?
So I smiled and asked: "Boss Bai, the two of us are working for you, are there any guarantees?"
As expected, Bai Lanshan's face changed slightly, she frowned and asked, "What guarantee? What guarantee do you want?"
I didn't overstimulate her, but I said something in my words: "It's not a guarantee. Xiaoqing and I are both wage earners and helpless. I'm worried that Boss Bai will leave us and run away on our own?"
Bai Lanshan smiled softly and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely not leave you alone. I will always be with you."
"Oh?" I saw that Bai Lanshan didn't show any fox tail, so I simply continued to scare the snake: "It's a good thing to be with us all the time, but I don't know if you will always stand in the same trench with us?"
Bai Lanshan frowned even more and asked, "Lin Yang, it's already this time, and you still doubt me?"
I saw that Bai Lanshan was a bit worried about me, so I stopped provoking her and waved my hand and said, "No, no, no, no, Boss Bai, I didn't mean that."
Seeing that Bai Lanshan was still angry with me, I quickly pointed at Chen Xiaoqing and said, "Even if I don't trust you, your future husband will be 100% loyal to you."
Bai Lanshan looked at Chen Xiaoqing, and the latter even showed an infatuated smile towards Bai Lanshan. This smile obviously gained Bai Lanshan's trust.
I can't help but admire Xiaoqing's acting ability. This kid is indeed a genius. Although I just learned that Bai Lanshan may have evil intentions, he is still able to calmly confuse her. This ability is mostly due to the old fox Chen Xuance.
With the help of Chen Xiaoqing's outstanding acting skills, Bai Lanshan gave up his hostility towards us and said calmly: "Don't worry, you two. I have completely broken up with Xu Changsheng, and am I conspiring with him to frame you two? I'm not that
I won't do such a despicable thing by any means necessary."
I nodded. Although I still couldn't completely trust Bai Lanshan in my heart, since she dared to say it clearly, it meant that she really had a clear conscience.
The three of us discussed it, and when it got to one o'clock, Bai Lanshan took the two of us to walk under the Changchun Street subway station.
The exit of the subway station is right on a busy highway, so even in the middle of the night, there are still many vehicles passing by.
If we want to go in, we must avoid the eyes of passers-by. After waiting for a while, when there were no more cars, Bai Lanshan gently knocked on the lock on the iron fence, and there was a clang, and the door was opened.
I quickly got in. Bai Lanshan and Xiaoqing obviously didn't have this need, and they entered easily.
The lights in the subway are still on, but there is no lighting equipment in the stairs, which is somewhat eerie.
Bai Lanshan looked at the narrow passage, stretched out her hand and said, "Commander Lin Yang, please?"
