"What is it?" Nie Huimo asked, turning his head slightly.
The little maid looked a little pale and did not dare to answer the question. She looked at Mrs. Qu for help.
Without waiting for Mrs. Qu to speak, Xia Zhaoyi said first: "It's something that has nothing to do with you."
Nie Huimo looked at her with cold black eyes: "So, does it have anything to do with you?"
"yes."
"Then it has something to do with me," Nie Huimo walked over to sit across from Xia Zhaoyi after taking some time to relax, lifted his robe and sat down, "There is still an unsettled account between you and me."
"You can enter Qu's house so smoothly. It seems that you have a good relationship with Mrs. Qu. Then you should be considerate of Mrs. Qu instead of making things difficult."
Mrs. Qu said at the right time: "Ah Li is still considerate."
"She is not considerate when scheming others," Nie Huimo continued, looking at Xia Zhaoyi coldly, "Tell me, where is Wang Changqi?"
Xia Zhaoyi shook his head: "I don't know Wang Changqi anymore."
After all, Wang Changqi changed his name himself.
Nie Huimo looked slightly stern: "Wang Changqi is not in your hands?"
Xia Zhaoyi did not answer, but looked at the little maid over there: "Girl, please bring me the calligraphy and painting."
Nie Huimo raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the maid faintly.
The little maid neither moved forward nor retreated. She looked at Mrs. Qu again with a begging look.
It was difficult for Mrs. Qu to deduce how angry Nie Huimo was now.
Although she was on good terms with Nie Huimo, she was afraid of Nie Huimo's true temperament.
After all, this is a general who has killed countless people on the battlefield with weapons.
He has numerous military exploits, holds great power, and has fame, fortune, and power. Once he turns against someone and becomes an enemy, the consequences will be disastrous.
"It's for me," Xia Zhaoyi said to the little maid, "Just bring it."
"You'd better think clearly." Nie Huimo also said aloud, looking at the little maid.
Xia Zhaoyi raised his eyebrows, stood up from his seat, and walked away.
Nie Huimo also stood up at this time.
Seeing this, Mrs. Qu stood up again in shock, fearing that they would take action.
Xia Zhaoyi's steps were neither fast nor slow, and his expression did not change at all. He went over to take the calligraphy and painting from the hands of the maid.
Seeing that the little maid looked really frightened, she said gently: "You go down first."
The little maid was relieved: "Thank you, Miss Xia."
Xia Zhaoyi turned back to look at Nie Huimo: "If there is anything you want to settle with me, after we have this meal and leave the Qu Mansion, I will accompany you to settle the matter slowly."
Nie Huimo glanced at the calligraphy and painting and the rectangular brocade box in Xia Zhaoyi's hand, with sinister eyes: "What if I want to settle with you now?"
"General Nie!" Mrs. Qu shouted in a low voice.
Nie Huimo ignored her and looked at Xia Zhaoyi with cold and deep eyes.
Mrs. Qu was really not sure whether Nie Huimo would take action against Xia Zhaoyi.
In other words, no one can say exactly what kind of person Nie Huimo is.
For example, when one of his former confidants "betrayed" him because his family was being threatened, he would kill him at will without any hesitation, even though he knew that the subordinate was giving the enemy only wrong information.
However, when a traitor from the enemy army took refuge, he happily took him in. It was later found out that the "traitor" had faked his surrender. When Nie Huimo relaxed his vigilance, he tricked him and almost killed him.
But even so, when the traitor was captured again, Nie Huimo had no intention of killing him and still kept him. He is still locked up in the prison of Tianren County to "tame" him and is treated well every day.
Nie Huimo can have multiple faces for the same thing. He is so deep that no one can see through him.
If she really wanted to take action now, Mrs. Qu would have to prepare for the worst.
Xia Zhaoyi was always calm, her snowy eyes were bright, and there was no trace of fear.
Nie Huimo looked back at her, curious how she would respond.
When he was in Shengdu, he immediately rushed from the west gate after learning about Zhu Xian's accident, and saw with his own eyes the girl holding the body of Shaoyin of Jingzhao Palace and crying in front of the gate of Zhenguo General's Palace.
Her expression didn't change much, but everyone could see that she was crying sadly. She was clearly thin and petite, but she felt as if she had energy that could destroy the world.
Ali.
Nie Huimo really wanted to go back in time and see how she could stop Emperor Xuan Yan's chariot. How could she do it at such a young age?
And, who is that handsome young man who is rumored to be comparable to the God of War?
"Then forget it," Xia Zhaoyi said lightly, "but as agreed, this is a matter between you and me, don't involve others, otherwise, I won't be polite."
"The person you are talking about is Mrs. Qu?"
"The person I won't be polite to is Tian Dayao." Xia Zhaoyi replied.
Nie Huimo's expression suddenly changed, and he looked at her with a murderous look in his eyes.
Xia Zhaoyi was not afraid, but took a step forward, his eyes even colder: "If you don't investigate the past, you won't be able to make any sense when you investigate, so we will discuss the recent events. So, how do you want to settle things with me? You want to apologize to me.
Huh? Because it was your people who provoked us first."
"Recruiting talents is not considered provoking, right?"
"Oh," Xia Zhaoyi raised his eyebrows slightly, "Then I don't know his good and evil, so why should I act defensively?"
Nie Huimo narrowed his eyes slightly, and then suddenly smiled sinisterly: "What a powerful mouth."
"So, do you want to apologize to me?"
"Let me ask you, did you really not know me before this?"
Xia Zhaoyi glanced at him and returned to his seat holding the calligraphy and painting.
Nie Huimo's eyes followed her footsteps: "Or let's put it another way, how did you know that I was in Hengxiang before this?"
Xia Zhaoyi put down the calligraphy and painting: "I didn't know you were in Hengxiang."
"Still pretending?"
"..."
Xia Zhaoyi raised his eyelids and looked at him inexplicably: "Does it make any difference whether you know or not? I don't have to pretend to you."
Nie Huimo frowned and looked at her with a deeper look.
After a while, Nie Huimo said calmly: "Then, why are you trying so hard to deal with Wang Changqi? You are a proud person. Even if Zhang Zhi reaches out to the people around you, you will not go there in vain.
Do you care?"
Xia Zhaoyi smiled: "So, you think I did all this because I already know that the person behind Guiyuan Inn is you, Wang Changqi is your person, and my ultimate goal is you?"
"otherwise?"
On the contrary, it is also true.
He could infer this and was not messing around.
Xia Zhaoyi smiled and said no more. It was impossible for her to tell him that the person I liked was Wang Changqi, and she didn't want to push Wang Fengnian to the forefront.
"Ah Li?" Nie Huimo frowned.
Xia Zhaoyi looked over lazily: "Yes, you guessed it right, it's because of you. What happens next?"
"..."
Nie Huimo didn't believe it.
The girl's eyes were bright and clear, with a hint of ruthlessness.
It is not that he has never encountered women showing cunning in front of him, but those women are all tempted and deliberately show off their coquettishness. No matter how bold the girl is to tease him, she will be nervous and cautious. Only the one in front of him, she has always been
Calmness, confidence, and calmness radiate from the core.
Nie Huimo suddenly wanted to test how good her skills were.
