Chapter six hundred and eighty-ninth fish take the bait
The Cuju competition that has lasted for a year has finally come to an end today. After the excitement, excitement, and celebration, all that is left is disappointment. Those Cuju fans are even more eager to hope that the national competition can come as soon as possible.
Regardless, this was a successful attempt.
However, in addition to the trophy, every player and even every staff member who participated in the finals received a part of the generous reward. However, this money was not paid by the Cuju Alliance, but by Gao Qiu and Li Qi privately.
of.
Because Li Qi doesn't want these Cuju clubs to rely on the Cuju League for their lives. He hopes to treat each Cuju club as a separate commercial enterprise. This is also the top priority facing the Cuju League next year, how to attract business investment and how to plan players in a unified manner.
treatment, how to supervise match-fixing, etc. All in all, Gao Qiu will be very busy next year.
On that day, Gao Qiu fulfilled his promise and accepted the Zhang brothers as his disciples, and also booked a banquet at Zuixianju to entertain Qiyun Society and the Royal Team. As the big winner of this competition, the Hong family reciprocated the favor and booked a bar to serve these two parties.
Players celebrate.
Not only that, those who won the lottery were also treating guests everywhere. This was undoubtedly a carnival night, and Bianjing ushered in another group of consumers.
Two days have passed, but the penalty shootout is still a topic that everyone talks about, and the Song Dynasty Times also reported it for two days in a row, and sales doubled.
...
In this cold winter, sunshine is particularly important, even if it does not bring the slightest warmth to people. On the bustling Mahang Street, people are bustling with people and traffic, and it is very lively.
A big man wearing a sheepskin cotton-padded jacket and a cotton hat walked slowly down the street from northeast to south. He was followed by a big dog, which opened its bloody mouth from time to time, scaring pedestrians to take a detour and listen.
The big man shouted: "Sell the dog, sell the dog."
However, due to the appearance of this big dog, no one dared to approach, let alone asking. Half a day passed, but no one came forward.
But the man didn't care at all. He half-closed his eyes and shouted to himself: "Sell the dog, sell the dog."
When they came to the vicinity of Dongyang Tower, a group of people suddenly came towards them. It was Wang Xuanen who had been depressed for two days. Although the money was a drop in the bucket for them, it was obvious that they had been played by Li Qi again, which made him lose more than losing money.
He is in pain, his face is full of evil spirits, he walks on the street like a big insect, others avoid him, and his intimidation is more powerful than that big dog.
But the big man didn't seem to recognize Wang Xuan'en and walked towards him without any intention of giving way.
"Hey, don't you have eyesight? A good dog doesn't stand in the way."
A young man next to Wang Xuan'en saw that the big man was so ignorant that he pointed at the big man and cursed in his face.
"Woof woof woof! Uh-huh---!"
The big man didn't say anything, but the dog next to him jumped up and started barking. It's so loyal.
Facing the big dog, the young man was afraid. He subconsciously took a step back, swallowed his saliva, and dared not make a sound.
"Wangcai, step back."
The big man suddenly opened his eyes and shouted in a deep voice.
The dog seemed to understand the human words and retreated to its owner obediently.
The big man bowed to Wang Xuanen again and said: "I'm sorry, the family dog has disturbed all the young gentlemen. I will take care of you for it. I'm sorry, I'm sorry." As he said that, he walked around and shouted: "Sell the dog.
Selling dogs.”
This dog is quite strange.
Wang Xuanen tilted his head and looked at the big dog with interest. When he saw the big dog looking angrily at the young man just now, he couldn't help but chuckle. This dog is really interesting. He raised his hand and said: "Dog seller, wait a minute.
Walk."
The big man turned around and said weakly: "Little official, is there anything else you can do?"
Wang Xuanen walked over and asked, "How much does it cost to sell your dog?"
The big man said: "No two prices, one hundred strings."
A person behind Wang Xuanen snorted: "A hundred strings? You think this dog of yours is a divine dog. It's really unreasonable."
The big man said: "The officials don't know something. My dog has a human surname. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a divine dog. If the family is short of money, I really would not be willing to sell it to anyone."
"oh?"
Wang Xuanen's interest increased greatly and he said: "Then tell me what kind of magical skills you have as a dog."
The big man stretched out his big hand in front of the dog.
The big dog immediately put a paw up and its big tail swayed cutely.
"Interesting, interesting."
Wang Xuanen chuckled and asked with interest: "Is there anything else?"
The big man said again: "Stand up."
After hearing this, the big dog immediately raised its front legs, licked its big tongue, and looked at its owner with watery eyes.
The big man squatted down again, stretched out a hand and said: "Jump."
As soon as he finished speaking, the dog jumped over.
"Okay, okay."
Wang Xuanen applauded.
The big man stood up and said again: "My dog can't help but know people's surnames, and it can also find things and protect its owners."
"Looking for things to protect the Lord?" Wang Xuan'en said: "I have already seen this Lord Protector, but what does it mean to look for things?"
The big man said: "It just helps me find lost things."
"I don't believe this."
The big man took out a small red ball from his arms and threw it casually to the side. The big dog immediately rushed over, jumped up, and caught the small red ball in its mouth in the air.
"awesome."
There was a burst of exclamation. Some pedestrians stopped and watched.
"It's just a little trick."
The big man nodded slightly and said: "An official can take something on his body and hide it within a hundred paces. I, the dog, can find it without even a cup of tea."
"That's a good idea."
Wang Xuanen turned his eyes, looked around, and suddenly walked toward the back mysteriously.
The big man didn't even peek.
After a while, Wang Xuanen came over and said, "Okay, let's go find it."
The big man nodded and said: "Don't be afraid of small officials." After getting vaccinated, he took the dog and walked around Wang Xuanen for a while, then whispered a few words into the dog's ear, and then patted it.
Goubei said: "Go."
The dog sniffed at Wang Xuanen's feet again, and then walked slowly away in pursuit of the scent. After a while, everyone stared at it blankly, seeing it walking towards a meat case on the roadside.
Wang Xuanen couldn't help being shocked and murmured: "This is really a magical dog."
The big dog suddenly came under the meat case and startled the owner of the meat case. If Wang Xuanen hadn't been here, he would have had to drive it away for fear that the dog would steal his meat.
"Woof woof woof."
Suddenly, the big dog barked several times.
The man smiled and said: "I found it."
After a moment, the dog emerged from the meat case and ran towards the big man. When everyone saw the money bag in its mouth, they couldn't help but stare at it. This was really amazing.
The man took the money bag and handed it to Wang Xuanen, saying: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
Wang Xuanen saw some wet marks on the money bag, which he thought were the dog's saliva. He felt a little sick, so he asked his entourage to take it and said happily: "You are a magic dog, what are you capable of? Come here and let me see."
"yes."
...
Upstairs in Dongyang, Li Qi sat in front of the window and looked downstairs, hehehe said: "I didn't expect this kid to be so easy to take the bait. I worried about it in vain. It was a waste of my time." After saying that, he stood up and was about to leave. At this moment, his face suddenly changed, and he said in horror: "No way, he---how could they appear here?"
Ma Qiao, who was on the side, turned his head to look and asked in surprise: "Gao Yanei?"
Just when Wang Xuanen and Wangcai were having fun, Gao Yanei, Hong Tianjiu, Chai Cong and others suddenly appeared here.
"Hey! This dog is really interesting!" Gao Yanei happened to see the dog standing up straight and walking. He couldn't help but feel curious. He ran forward with his coat in hand. When he saw Wang Xuan'en was there, he couldn't help but was stunned again and said: "Hey, this dog Yes and you."
Wang Xuanen was also stunned for a moment and hummed: "What does it have to do with you whether it's mine or not."
Hong Tianjiu came forward and said to the big man: "This dog belongs to you, right?"
The big man didn't expect this turn of events, so he hesitated a little and said, "As far as I'm concerned, sir, this dog belongs to me."
Seeing Hong Tianjiu's deceitful look, Wang Xuanen quickly said: "Hey, hey, what do you guys want to do? I saw this dog first."
Seeing that he was so nervous, Chai Cong reacted immediately, smiled slightly at the big man and said, "Are you planning to sell this dog?"
The big man nodded.
"How much?"
"One hundred strings."
"I bought it for two hundred dollars." Gao Yanei said immediately. He was actually just curious about the dog and had no intention of buying it, but he just felt unhappy with Wang Xuanen.
"This idiot ruined my life." Li Qi slammed the table and said angrily.
Ma Qiao smiled and said: "Commander Bu, don't worry, Yanei should not be Wang Xuanen's opponent."
"I know that, but the three of them put together are enough for me, let alone Wang Xuan."
Wang Xuanen frowned and said angrily: "I saw this dog first, why do you buy it? I tell you, I want to buy this dog, so don't make this idea." Then he said to the big man: " Come back home with me."
Gao Yanei stopped in the middle and said: "Whatever you see first belongs to you. I saw Lady Feng first, wasn't she also deceived by Li Qi?"
Li Qi didn't hear clearly, but he could almost guess what the idiot meant, and he wanted to throw down the plate in front of him.
Hong Tianjiu said in a gangly tone: "When it comes to buying and selling, the one with the highest price will naturally get it. If my brother pays 200 bucks, he will get the dog."
"That's right, that's right. Didn't you lose and don't have any money to pay?" Gao Yanei chuckled.
What an exciting scene. Chai Cong, the pretentious guy, quickly sat aside and waited for the show to unfold.
When Wang Xuanen heard this, he immediately became furious and said: "Gao Yaokang, what do you mean by this? Don't make me angry, otherwise I won't let you have good fruits to eat."
Gao Yanei hummed: "Others are afraid of you, but I am not afraid. I just let my horse come over."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Xuanen kicked Gao Yanei right in the abdomen. How could he give up if he didn't express his resentment today?
"Wunai, you unexpectedly attacked me and beat me." Gao Yanei covered his abdomen and roared.
He was only halfway through his words when Hong Tianjiu rushed forward, grabbed the hair of the person on the left and punched him. Wang Xuanen saw this and kicked Hong Tianjiu again.
But as soon as the kick came out, there was a huge pain in the abdomen. It turned out that Gao Yanei had already rushed up and hit Wang Xuanen with a series of punches. Wang Xuanen was beaten back steadily. Fortunately, the idle man next to Wang Xuanen blocked two punches.
.
As soon as Wang Xuanen regained his breath, he immediately rushed forward and fought with Gao Yamen.
The two groups of people immediately fell into a melee. The people on both sides were experienced in many battles, and it was not the first time they had fought. Chai Cong saw that his side did not have an advantage in terms of numbers, so he couldn't help but shook his head and sighed, and raised his buttocks
The bench immediately jumped into the battle, and screams could not be heard.
When Wang Xuan'en's people saw that Chai Cong was using weapons, they started looking for him, but they all had a tacit understanding. Although there was a murder case not far away, no one went up to get a knife. They all grabbed benches, wooden sticks, etc.
When the common people saw that the fourth young master was having sex with Wang Xuan'en again, they could only sigh in their hearts and hurriedly dispersed. The vendors setting up stalls nearby were like seeing urban management in later generations, rushing away with their burdens, and in the blink of an eye they were gone.
No one was seen.
Li Qi stared blankly downstairs, tears welling up in his eyes, his fists clenched and rattling.
Ma Qiao said: "Bu Shuai, what should we do now?"
"Go down and kill them all."
"Uh... do you really want to do this?"
"Of course it's fake! I'm really pissed off. I didn't expect that I, Li Qi, would win many times when facing those predators, but I would be frustrated again and again when facing these idiots. What's going on?"
The big man was also very anxious. He was about to succeed. Suddenly such a group of powerful people came out. What a disaster. He thought to himself, Sir, I have been carefully prepared for a long time. I must not fail. He pondered for a moment, and suddenly moved his hand towards
Lu Qian, who was enjoying the beating, pointed at him.
Wangcai got the command from his master and rushed up. Lu Qian had just gained the advantage when he suddenly saw a big dog pounce on him. He yelled: "Ouch." He turned around and ran away.
This sudden change made Gao Yanei's side immediately in a panic. They already had no advantage in numbers, but now there was a vicious dog helping out, which really made matters worse.
This panic immediately showed signs of failure.
Seeing that something was wrong, Gao Yanei yelled: "Run!" As he spoke, he ran away. Hong Tianjiu and Chai Cong also hurriedly got out of the way. In the blink of an eye, these three idiots were gone and started fighting.
The first thing you must learn is to escape.
When Li Qi saw this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. It was really a blessing in disguise!
The big man breathed a sigh of relief, pretending to be nervous and said: "Wangcai, you are trying to die, come back quickly."
After Wangcai heard this, he returned to his master honestly, but he still looked proud.
Although Wang Xuanen was punched in the face by Gao Yanei and had a bruise on his face, when he saw Gao Yanei and the others fleeing from behind, he immediately laughed and said: "Don't chase the poor criminals."
After saying that, he went straight to the meat case, took a piece of pig leg, came to Wangcai and said: "Good dog, what a good dog, this is a reward for you, haha, this dog is really wonderful
, wonderful!" When he saw that the big dog actually helped him bite Gao Yanei, he felt that it was fate that he and this dog met, and he felt very friendly.
But Wangcai didn't seem to buy his account. He tilted his head and didn't even look at it. Wang Xuanen looked embarrassed.
The big man said: "I'm so sorry, I'm not a dog and won't eat food from strangers, and he likes to eat cooked meat."
Wang Xuanen frowned and said, "If I buy it, wouldn't I starve to death?"
The big man said: "If the young master is willing, I can take Wangcai to live in the house for a few days. After you get familiar with it, I will leave. Then it will not be too late for the young master to pay."
Wang Xuanen laughed and said: "Money is nothing, I will give it to you later, and you can go back to the house with me."
"yes."
"By the way, what's your name?"
"When I reply to a low-ranking official, I send my best wishes and give him the word "mang" in my name.
...
After the good show was over and there was finally no danger, Li Qi took a deep breath and went back with Ma Qiao.
As soon as I arrived at Zuixianju, I saw Gao Yanei and the others already sitting inside, all of them with bruises and swollen faces. I was shocked, these guys were running really fast.
Li Qi pretended to be surprised and said: "Ya Nei, what are you doing?"
Seeing Li Qi coming, Gao Yanei rushed forward and said, "Li Qi, you must help me this time?"
"help you with what?"
"Oh. Just now when we were fighting with Wang Xuanen, a vicious dog suddenly rushed out to help us, causing me to flee. Don't you have two big dogs at home, the golden one and the black one? Lend them to me quickly. One use.”
Lend you? Lend you to bite my dog, wow! You are really rude. Li Qi snorted and said, "No need to talk. My golden retriever and black retriever are both kind dogs, and they don't even dare to bite rabbits." , and asking them to fight with vicious dogs will cost them their lives."
...
...
In fact, Wang Fu really gave Li Qi face. In order to show off Li Qi's prestige, he asked Li Qi to help him cook. He suppressed his surging personality and gave Li Qi sufficient time to prepare.
But Li Qi didn't prepare the dishes at all, everything was as usual, Wu Xiaoliu was basically taking care of it, and he himself went to prepare other things. It wasn't until the night before the banquet that he went to Zuixianju In the kitchen, he checked the materials prepared by Wu Xiaoliu.
"You are happy now. Big and small pillars have gone to Jiangnan, and you are the boss here." Li Qi crossed his arms and leaned back on the table and said with a smile.
Wu Xiaoliu said with a flattering smile: "No way, I don't think so. On the contrary, I am quite reluctant to let go of Big Pillar."
Li Qi smiled and said nothing.
Wu Xiaoliu asked again: "By the way, Brother Li, how do you think we have performed recently?"
Li Qi glanced at him briefly and said, "Don't ask me about this. You have to ask the guests and see how they react."
Wu Xiaoliu chuckled and remained silent. He dared to ask this question, so he was certainly confident. The recent guests were very satisfied with his performance. He had been learning cooking from Li Qi for so long, but Li Qi rarely praised him, so he wanted to hear it. Listen to Li Qi praise him.
Li Qi's heart was like a mirror, he smiled and said: "Liu Zi, although hard work can make up for weakness, many things still require talent. I can see your efforts. You really like cooking. This is very valuable. I also I'm glad to have you as my apprentice. But now your cooking skills have reached the first bottleneck. You have to find a way to break through this bottleneck, but if you want to break through this bottleneck, you have to rely on your talent."
Wu Xiaoliu scratched his head with a thoughtful expression.
Li Qi clicked his tongue in displeasure and said, "How many times have I told you not to scratch your head in the kitchen."
Wu Xiaoliu quickly put down his hands, rubbed his hands and said, "Brother Li, what you said is too profound. I don't understand it very well."
Li Qidao: "Get rid of my shackles, don't cook in my shadow, try to do it yourself. From now on, you can take full control of the kitchen. If you introduce your own dishes, you don't need to ask my opinion. If you think it's okay, just do it."
That’s it.”
Wu Xiaoliu's heart trembled when he heard this, and said: "Brother Li, are you serious about this?"
Li Qi nodded.
Wu Xiaoliu said: "You are not afraid of smashing your sign."
Li Qi chuckled and said, "If you can smash my sign, it proves that you are ready to go out."
Wu Xiaoliu chuckled and said, "That's right, that's right, I know what to do?"
"Well. Go and rest early. You have to get up early tomorrow."
"Yes. Brother Li, you should also go to bed early."
"Um."
.......
It was midnight in the Qin Mansion. Li Qi had not yet fallen asleep, and was pacing back and forth in the front hall, his face extremely solemn, as if he was waiting for something. Ma Qiao beside him was also restless, looking very anxious.
Before I knew it, the third watch of the day had passed.
Li Qi came to the door, looked up at the sky, and said worriedly: "Why haven't you come yet? Is something going to happen?"
Ma Qiao frowned and said, "Want me to go take a look."
Li Qi shook his head and said: "No need, if something really happens, you will just throw yourself into a trap and it will not be good for me."
Just as the two of them were worried, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Li Qi opened his eyes and looked worried. He quickly walked over and opened the door, only to see a black shadow rushing in.
It was the drunkard.
Li Qi hurriedly asked: "How is it? Is it done?"
The drunkard glanced at the two of them, yawned, rubbed his eyes, and said: "It's just such a trivial matter, why are you so nervous? Can I succeed if I take action?"
Li Qi said happily: "Seriously?"
"Of course it's true. Why did I lie to you? Next time something like this happens, just find someone to do it." The drunkard said calmly, and then said: "It's just that the Ganoderma lucidum is a bit troublesome, and I can't see clearly.
, I also had to make a fire and light, it took me a long time, otherwise I would have been back long ago."
"You haven't been discovered, have you?"
Ma Qiao said: "Bu Shuai, don't worry, he has been doing this for decades and has never failed."
"Scam? Xiaoqiao, what do you mean?"
"Did I make a mistake? You said before you met Junior Sister, where did the wine you used to drink come from?"
"But I remember that you did more than me."
"That's why you asked me to go."
"In that case, I am also innocent. Li Qi asked me to do this."
"Well...."
Just say it, why are you blaming me again? Old Li Qi's face turned red for a rare moment, and he said seriously: "Drunkard, let me ask you again, have you made any mistakes?"
The drunkard said: "You are really annoying. How can such a trivial thing go wrong? Unless the drawing you gave me is wrong, I will do it as you say anyway."
You are cruel enough. If something goes wrong, I will ask someone to shoot you into a hedgehog. Li Qi nodded and said, "That's good. You can go and rest first."
The drunkard rubbed his hands and said: "It's too early to take a rest."
"I've already sent the wine to your room."
"Oh, thank you so much." The drunkard's eyes flashed and he said to Ma Qiao: "Xiao Qiao, I'll treat you to a drink."
Li Qidao: "I only prepare enough for you."
The drunkard's face tightened, he patted Ma Qiao on the shoulder and said: "Xiao Qiao, you have to do things tomorrow, so I'll skip the drink. I won't poison you as a teacher. I'm going back to my room first. I'm sorry." He said and left quickly, joking, if he didn't have enough wine, how could he dare to invite Maqiao, a wine jar that never pours a thousand cups?
Ma Qiao curled his lips and hummed: "Who cares?"
Ouch, what a problematic pair of masters and disciples. Li Qi shook his head with a wry smile and said, "He is right. You have to go to the palace with me tomorrow, so go get some rest early."
"oh."
After Ma Qiao left, Li Qi took a deep breath. As soon as he turned his back, he suddenly saw a plump figure walking out and said in surprise: "Madam?"
Mrs. Qin stepped forward and asked worriedly: "What are you planning again?"
Damn it, those two masters didn't realize that the walls had ears. Li Qi didn't answer and asked: "Madam, are you eavesdropping on me?"
"I overheard it. If you say it was eavesdropping, I admit it." Mrs. Qin stared at him and changed the topic: "But, what exactly are you planning to do?"
Li Qi said half-jokingly: "In order to prevent Madam from running out and eavesdropping on me in the middle of the night, I plan to get rid of it once and for all this time." (To be continued.
