Qiu Yao made many friends, and there were all kinds of people in the courtyard. There were people from the world, merchants, officials, and well-educated scholars.
Lin Xun, Xiao Qi, and Yan Chu had already fallen asleep on the table and were deaf to anything.
Zhao Wenqing was different. He didn't exchange a few words with these three people, and naturally he didn't drink a few glasses of wine.
Just when Zhao Wenqing was about to stand up and leave, suddenly, a flash of light around Lin Xun's waist caught his attention.
This light was a familiar dark black, but there was a sense of danger in the darkness.
Zhao Wenqing stared at it carefully. Finally, he couldn't restrain his curiosity. He carefully grabbed a corner of the wrapped cloth.
dagger-
It's a dagger -
The whole body is dark black, and this appearance becomes more and more familiar the more you look at it.
Zhao Wenqing made up his mind and used his fingers to gently pick up the dagger from Lin Xun's waist. He avoided everyone's eyes and took the dagger into his arms.
He lowered his head deeply and looked under the table to see what was going on - this dagger was Qiu Yao's personal belongings.
Not long ago, Qiu Yao personally used it to rescue Zhao Wenqing.
Why is this dagger on Lin Xun's body?
Could it be said that there are more than one in the world?
The gang leader gave the other one to Lin Xun?
No, according to the origin of this dagger, it should be a unique existence in the world.
In the worst case scenario, Lin Xun is a scoundrel who went to Ruixiang to collect debts?
When Shuang Xi announced the news, he said that there were two people going to the store, so besides Lin Xun, it was the gang leader!
Zhao Wenqing quickly hid the dagger in his arms, repeatedly confirmed that no one was paying attention, then stood up and walked towards the door.
He thought: The gang leader came to Qiu Mansion and did not return the dagger to the master, which means that the gang leader will never give up. The gang leader will hold the master accountable based on this dagger, and the master will definitely know about Ruixiang's situation. And I,
He didn't tell his master the truth.
How will Master see me?
How will the gang leader deal with it?
Zhao Wenqing didn't dare to think about it, he just hoped to hide the dagger in his arms in a safe place.
If this token disappears, then everything that follows will not happen so naturally.
However, just disappearing is not an option... After all, Master regards this as a treasure, and Master will never let the dagger disappear and ignore it.
…
…
As the banquet came to an end, the voices gradually became lower.
The sound of the waiter passing food disappeared, and the temperature of the food also dropped little by little.
The polite words at the beginning disappeared after half the drink. The brothers' emotions deepened after a drink, becoming more cordial and talking about everything.
Zhuo Xingyang staggered and walked up to him: "Xiao Qi, Yan Chu, wake up, we're going back."
He shook their heads harder and harder, "Wake up!"
"Brother Xingyang," Yanchu woke up faintly and covered his head with his hands, "What time is it?"
Zhuo Xingyang: "It's getting late, let's go back."
Yan Chu: "Oh, okay."
Zhuo Xingyang: "Xiao Qi, you are like a dead pig. How much have you drunk?"
Xiao Qi was shaken by Yan Chu and regained consciousness.
Xiao Qi looked at the wine glass in front of her, unable to cheer up anymore and her stomach was pounding. She turned her head away, Lin Xun was still drunk.
Xiaoqi: "Lin Xun, wake up, hello!"
Originally I just wanted to drink a few more drinks, but I didn't expect Lin Xun to be so showy. If the gang leader knew about this, he would not be in a good position.
