Cypress Boat Floating

Chapter 159 Negotiation

Lu Ci Qiu's sudden appearance did not scare anyone. He walked slowly to Ye Jianqing and wanted to check if she had any injuries. Just now, when he and Xiao Ding and others were guarding on the roof, they heard fighting below. Lu Ci Qiu wanted to come down to help, but when he was about to act, he happened to see Ye Jianqing coming out. At that time, Ye Jianqing had actually secretly made a gesture to him to reassure him.

The moment Ye Jianqing appeared in his sight, Lu Ciqiu finally felt relieved and stayed in his original position to watch the fight below. He knew that Liu Miao could not beat Ye Jianqing, and sure enough, as he expected, Liu Miao was quickly knocked down by Ye Jianqing.

He also listened to the entire conversation between the two.

Although he didn't trust Liu Miao, Lu Ci Qiu was actually skeptical about what he said at this time. After Ye Jianqing got into trouble, he also sent people to investigate Liu Miao, but Liu Miao did not take any action.

"Are you hurt?" Lu Ci Qiu helped Ye Jianqing up and asked worriedly.

"It's okay, he's not hurt. He is the one who is hurt." Ye Jianqing smiled and patted his arm to comfort him. He could see that Liu Miao must be seriously injured, as he was still lying on the ground motionless with a pale face.

"You won't die, will you?" Lu Ci Qiu raised his foot and kicked him.

"That's not the case. It should be a broken rib. He will be fine after resting for a while." Ye Jianqing took a closer look and made a simple judgment based on his behavior just now.

"Go wash your face. There's no need to hide it since he's already found out." Lu Ci Qiu said as he reached out and tucked up the few strands of hair that had fallen on her face. It was scary to see her face exposed in the middle of the night, even though he was the one who helped to put the makeup on.

Ye Jianqing raised her eyebrows helplessly, put away her dagger, made a face at Lu Ci Qiu, and wanted to wipe the stuff off her face directly with her hands, but unfortunately, this would only make her face dirtier. She could only accept Lu Ci Qiu's advice and wash her face.

Before leaving, she winked at Lu Ci Qiu. Lu Ci Qiu, who had an increasingly tacit understanding with her, knew what she wanted him to do with just one glance, and consciously took her place and waited for her to come back.

As soon as Ye Jianqing left, Liu Miao closed his eyes. Although he looked very embarrassed and unhappy, he didn't dare to say anything in front of the gentleman in front of him.

It didn't matter how he and Ye Jianqing joked, threatened each other, or even fought each other. After all, Ye Jianqing's status was different. To put it bluntly, she was just a girl with no background. But the gentleman in front of him was different. He was a prince. If he really got into a fight with him, he could easily find an excuse to confiscate his property.

At this time, Liu Miao decisively chose to remain silent and wait for Ye Jianqing to come back.

And Lu Ci Qiu didn't want to say a few more words to this person from beginning to end. Liu Miao was a cunning and scheming person with evil intentions. If it weren't for Ye Jianqing, he would not have had anything to do with this person. He even wanted to arrest Liu Miao and put him in jail.

When Ye Jianqing came back, she saw Lu Ci Qiu standing in her original position, staring at Liu Miao, who was lying on the ground with his eyes closed, pretending to be asleep. She was secretly glad that she had just thought that Lu Ci Qiu would be unhappy, so she washed her face as quickly as possible and came over, without even wiping the water off her face.

When Lu Ci Qiu heard the sound of footsteps, he looked up and saw Ye Jianqing walking towards him. She had taken off the blood-stained white clothes and put on the clean white skirt underneath. The red and white powder on her face had also been wiped off, returning to her original appearance. He was delighted to see this. He still liked Ye Jianqing like this.

When she came to him, Lu Ci Qiu noticed that her face was not wiped clean, so he lifted up his sleeve and wiped her face, muttering as he wiped: "Although it is midsummer, it is still windy at night. It's not good to blow the wind on a wet face."

"It's okay, it will be done quickly." Ye Jianqing still couldn't accept Lu Ci Qiu's intimate gesture. He subconsciously took a step back and wiped his face with his sleeve.

She didn't notice the frustrated look in Lu Ci Qiu's eyes when he saw her retreat, but he recovered when she put down her sleeves.

Ye Jianqing couldn't stand the atmosphere between him and Lu Ciqiu. When he saw Liu Miao lying on the ground, he pretended to have just discovered something and exclaimed, "Oh my, why is Boss Liu still lying on the ground? The ground is cold. Get up quickly."

When Liu Miao heard Ye Jianqing say these pretentious words, he just wanted to say "haha" to her, but after all, the force was suppressed here, so he didn't dare to have any extra expression on his face.

"Miss Ye, do you think I can still get up?" It's not that Liu Miao wanted to show Ye Jianqing a bad face, but his ribs were broken and he really couldn't get up now.

"You can't get up? Then let's just say it like this." Ye Jianqing looked at him innocently and continued with what he said. It would have been fine if he hadn't said it, but once he said it, Liu Miao was really pissed off.

"You said before that you could help me find the shrine. Tell me how." Now that her identity was exposed, Ye Jianqing didn't plan to hide it anymore. She came here for two purposes. One was to find out who wanted to harm her, and the other was to find out where the shrine was. And it just so happened that Liu Miao was related to both of these purposes.

"I just know a rough idea. I heard some people who came to watch the show talking about it before. Miss Ye should know that some information can only be circulated in the West District." From the way Liu Miao was trying hard to show off and create some momentum for himself, Ye Jianqing could probably guess that the other party might have some clues, otherwise he wouldn't be like this.

He held the clues that interested him the most, so he naturally had room for negotiation. And he was right. Some of the information was indeed only known in the West District, but because she had no friends in the West District, she was unable to investigate it, otherwise she would not be so restricted by Liu Miao.

"Let's talk about it."

Liu Miao glanced at her, and Ye Jianqing felt that he was mocking her. Sure enough, he spoke the next second: "Miss Ye, I am now the fish and you are the knife. If I really tell you everything, will you still let me live?"

Ye Jianqing sighed, sat down next to him, pulled out the Skylark again, patted his face with the blade and said regretfully: "Boss Liu, I want to do business with you, let's discuss cooperation, why do you think so much of me?"

"Too much?" Liu Miao stepped back and dodged. "You even took out a knife and said I was too much? I saw that all the ghost tricks in my house these days were done by you."

Liu Miao became angrier and angrier as he spoke. His face turned red and his chest heaved violently.

"Liu Miao, you are going too far. I just wanted to ask you tonight who harmed me. I don't have the time to come here to play tricks on you. Don't put all the blame on me." Liu Miao would be angry, and Ye Jianqing would also be angry, and even more so than Liu Miao. As she spoke, she waved the knife in her hand in the air, scaring Liu Miao so much that he kept trying to move away, for fear that the girl would accidentally smear the knife on himself.

"If it's not you, then who is it?" Liu Miao looked at her doubtfully.

"How would I know? Anyway, I came to you tonight to ask for an explanation. If you really hurt me, then I will come to you to take my life." Ye Jianqing smiled sinisterly, especially with a knife in his hand. The knife was on Liu Miao's neck. If he was not careful, the knife might come out. He didn't believe that Ye Jianqing would be so kind as to let him go.

"I didn't hurt you, it really wasn't me." Liu Miao really wanted to cry but had no tears at this moment. Who would understand? He just wanted to talk to her about cooperation, but something happened to her and he was misunderstood. Liu Miao really felt very innocent.

"Then let's continue to talk about our cooperation." Ye Jianqing's erratic mood had almost driven Liu Miao crazy, and now he could only lie on the ground and let her arrange everything.

"You said."

"House of God."

"Well, what's the deal? I can tell you where the God's House is. What's in it for me?"

"I'll help you find Xiao Cui?" Ye Jianqing tilted his head and looked at him.

But Liu Miao just shook his head, obviously this condition was not attractive to him.

"I want to be the number one theater in Valcherie."

"Then you have to work hard on your own." Ye Jianqing spread her hands. She knew what Liu Miao wanted. Now in Washe, the only family that could compete with him was the Cao family. The condition he proposed was nothing more than asking the Cao family to disappear. Unfortunately, she couldn't do it. She would not interfere in such commercial competition.

Liu Miao had expected Ye Jianqing's refusal. Although his mission was to guide Ye Jianqing to find the sacred house, he felt that he had to put on a good show first. He had investigated Ye Jianqing, and if he really couldn't wait to agree to her request, she would become suspicious.

“Then we have no room for cooperation.”

"That's not necessarily true, Mr. Liu." Sure enough, Liu Miao smiled secretly, he made the right bet.

"What does Miss Ye think?"

"As for this kind of business competition, you can deal with Mr. Cao on your own. I won't get involved. But if the Cao family is found to have really cooperated with the God's House to use some means to murder you, then we will investigate it. The Dali Temple can give you a privilege to help you with the case first."

This condition is actually quite tempting, but there are certain traps in it. Ye Jianqing raised his eyebrows as he watched Liu Miao thinking. On the surface, the condition she proposed can be said directly that the Dali Temple is on your side, which is a disguised way of helping you become the number one theater in Washe.

But the prerequisite is that you must have enough evidence to prove that the Cao family really cooperated with Shenwu to murder you, otherwise the Dali Temple will not care about you.

Ye Jianqing felt that the conditions he offered were actually very good. Being able to be involved with the government would be of great benefit to him.
