Apu instinctively sensed the danger from the man in front of him, so he took a step forward to block Chu Min, his muscles tensed, his eyes vigilant and gloomy, full of hostility, as if he would jump out to protect the master at any time.

"What are you doing in Beijing?" Qi Huaiyuan ignored him, looked past the corpse servant, and looked at the two who were trying to escape.

"Can you control it?" Although Mao Xian was dumbfounded in front of Chu Min, he was still very arrogant in front of outsiders, and asked directly, "The so-called British observer just now, is it the Rothschild family?" people? Why are you with me? What tricks are you playing?"

Qi Huaiyuan didn't take it seriously: "It's nothing tricky, just a boring lobbyist."

Chu Min was just too busy observing the movements of Patriarch Qi and that Englishman, and he didn’t even eat a good meal, which was basically left on the table, and it was already completely cold, and the ones that were eaten were basically eaten. Yarn belly.Qi Huaiyuan glanced at the leftovers on the table, and invited: "Since we met by such a coincidence today, and I didn't eat it, why don't I invite someone else, you two, do you want to show me your favor?"

Even the most unreasonable Patriarch Qi invited someone so politely, Chu Min was naturally embarrassed and did not dare to refuse, so he agreed after a few words.As for wool, his eyeballs rolled around twice. Although his face was full of reluctance, he actually agreed faster than anyone else.

"Where are you going?" Chu Min asked helplessly.

"Boiled mutton!" Before Qi Huaiyuan could speak, Mao Mao's eyes were already shining, and he spoke first.

Chu Min really wanted to hide this embarrassing companion and pretend not to know him.

After leaving the door of Heyizhai, a young man immediately greeted him with a happy face.The appearance of this person seems to be different from that of ordinary Han people, more like a face in Central Asia, and his skin color is also darker, similar to that of Indians.Although the flattering smile on this young man's face is really uncomfortable to see, there is a bit of majesty in the brows.Chu Chu glanced at it for a few times and found it familiar, but couldn't remember where he saw it.

Qi Huaiyuan directly ordered him to go to Donglaishun to make arrangements. The young man was a little confused, so he quickly looked at Yan Chuxuan, Maoxian and Apu, then walked away scratching his head.

"Who is he?" Chu Min finally remembered that he seemed to have seen this person at Qi's house in Xianyang that time.

"His name is Qi Xiu, and he is our family's slave." Qi Huaiyuan replied.

In some aristocratic families, there are often some people who have been slaves for generations. If they have outstanding abilities or made great achievements, they will sometimes be given the surname of the master's family and assume the position of confidant.These people are said to be servants in name, but they often know a lot of secrets and hold great power, so no one dares to offend.

This surname-given servant is also very good at handling affairs, and he quickly booked a private room in the overcrowded Donglaishun.As soon as the red copper hot pot was placed on the table, the heat immediately evaporated, and the mellow aroma of the soup base wafted in the air.

Qi Xiu sent the waiter away, and served tea and water very dutifully himself. Of course, the service objects were limited to his master, and he was just polite to those few guests.Chu Min didn't pay much attention to it, and made enough food and clothing by himself, and asked about the situation of the British man intentionally or unintentionally.

"That person's name is Sariye." Qi Huaiyuan replied very frankly without hiding anything.

Chu Min was stunned when he heard the name: "Sariel? This guy has the same name as a fallen angel?" Speaking of Sariel, he is also well-known in the "Book of Enoch". Legend has it that he is in charge of the souls of the dead. Known as the "evil eye", he is regarded as a capable general under Satan's command.

Qi Huaiyuan's eyes moved, the same name?not necessarily……

"What is he doing?"

"He came to China for inspection on behalf of the Rothschild family, and he said hello to me by the way."

"Huh?" Chu Min almost spat out a sip of tea. When did Lao Luo's family become so friendly, "He came all the way to China just to say hello to you? You have a lot of face, kid."

Hearing this, Qi Xiu immediately glared angrily at the disrespectful Nan Manzi: "How can you talk!"

"Shut up." Before Chu Min could speak, Qi Huaiyuan had already glanced at Qi Xiu.

Qi Xiu covered his mouth aggrievedly and squatted in the corner, his eyes looked like a puppy abandoned by its owner.

This rude southern barbarian is actually so disrespectful to his master, how many people dare to be rude to his master!Um?The master is actually laughing? !They must have been under witchcraft!Qi Xiu jumped up suddenly, his eyes were burning with anger.

"Qi Xiu."

"Yes……"

Chu Min looked at the young man with rich facial expressions inexplicably, being angry and wronged for a while.

"Is Patriarch Chu interested in accompanying me for another trip?" Qi Huaiyuan seemed suddenly interested, and asked, "I've got some news about the next artifact."

"Huh?" Chu Min's eyes were so excited that they were about to light up when he heard this, "What is it this time?"

"I probably have to go to the Forbidden City first." Qi Huaiyuan didn't say anything, but just gave a vague answer, picked up his chopsticks and stopped talking.

Instant-boiled mutton is a major dish in Manshi. In the Qing Dynasty, the bannermen, princes and nobles liked it, and it even flourished among the Han people.Even in Beijing, Manchu, Han and Hui cuisines have their own strengths and are evenly divided, but the limelight of hot-boiled mutton is unmatched.

The mutton, which is as thin as a sheet of paper, is boiled in the hot soup and cooked with the secret sauce, which can be described as unique.When eating boiled mutton, the timing is very particular. After Chu Min tried it several times, he was either getting old or not yet ready. He was annoyed at the plate, but a pair of chopsticks placed a piece of mutton on the white porcelain plate.The light gray lamb is shiny with oil, and the edge is also dipped in auburn sauce, which looks very attractive.

Chu Min raised his head in surprise, Qi Huaiyuan had already put down his chopsticks, with a vague smile on his face: "Patriarch Chu doesn't seem to be quite used to our northern things."

The milky white soup base in the shiny copper stove was bubbling and bubbling, and the white water vapor rose up, blurring the face of the other party.Chu Min was a little dazed, and didn't realize it until the wool kicked him under the table quietly. He hurriedly thanked him and lowered his head.

Fortunately, someone knocked on the door suddenly, breaking the awkward atmosphere.

Qi Xiu opened the door, facing a bodyguard-like man pushing a wheelchair at the door, and sitting on the wheelchair was a young man who looked about the same age as Chu Min and the others.

The young man looks elegant and feminine, with a smile on his face, and the clothes on his body look like a modified version of an old-fashioned long mandarin jacket, revealing a heavy historical deposit in the modern age.Although this person's temperament is reminiscent of a nobleman, his face is very pale, his blood is not smooth, and his body is not in a good condition.

Qi Huaiyuan looked at that person in silence for a moment, neither of them said anything.

As the wool turned his gaze out of the window, Qi Xiu stood vigilantly at the door, and Chu Chu felt that the atmosphere was a little off, so he stood up hesitantly and wanted to say hello.

"Patriarch Qi came to Beijing, didn't you tell me?" The other party directly ignored the others, and smiled while touching the valuable jade wrench in his hand, "If someone hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known The nobleman is here."

"Where am I going, do I still need to report to you?" Although Qi Huaiyuan had never met this person before, he immediately recognized him, his eyes seemed to be covered with frost, and he sneered unceremoniously, "What's more , I am not interested in entertaining uninvited guests either."

"Speaking of the uninvited guest, isn't it you?" The other party's eyes narrowed, "This is Beijing, not Xianyang, with mountains and rivers far away."

When Qi Huaiyuan heard this surname, his eyes flashed with disgust, and he didn't seem to like such a title.

The young man didn't say anything more, and he didn't know why the Patriarch of the Qi family suddenly broke into his territory.The relationship between the two is incompatible, but there has been no direct conflict for decades, and the state of well water does not violate the river water.Although there were some fights openly and secretly, no one put it on the bright side. How could he know that someone suddenly told him today that Qi Huaiyuan came to Beijing and had dinner with the new head of the Chu family.

interesting.Tai Sui is breaking ground?

Although the air was quiet, there was an undercurrent, and even Chu Mi could feel the tense atmosphere.

"I have other arrangements for coming to Beijing. Mr. Chang doesn't have to be so sensitive." In the end, it was Qi Huaiyuan who broke the deadlock first.

"I really can't rest assured about this. After all, an opponent like Patriarch Qi is as dangerous as a poisonous snake."

Qi Huaiyuan seemed impatient with the other party's intransigence, and didn't want to communicate with him: "I will definitely leave within three days, so you can rest assured."

Chang Kun didn't think the Qi family would trouble him at this time, and he didn't come to trouble the Qi family today.It's like a martial arts master's move, it doesn't necessarily mean you will live or die, you only need to try a move, and click it.Now that Chang Kun has obtained this guarantee, knowing that the other party has no intention of entanglement, he no longer feels embarrassed.According to his estimate, Qi Huaiyuan's coming to Beijing at this time was probably really because of the British affairs.As for the specific situation, although he doesn't know it yet, all the details will be sorted out and placed on his desk soon, and he is completely under control.

Speaking of which, it was the first time he saw Qi Huaiyuan.It's rare to see this deity, and he really lives up to his reputation. From the inside out, he is a Lie Shan clan through and through.This kind of aura of a deadly enemy accumulated from ancient times to the present really made him full of fighting spirit as soon as he met.

In the west there is Rong, called Shennong, who tasted all kinds of herbs, and the head was farming. He was good at bowing horses and treating healers.Among them is Huaxia, which lives on the hill of Xuanyuan.

Lie Shan and You Xiong were the two most powerful surnames in China three generations ago. Although they were jointly honored as the ancestors of the Chinese nation, in fact they were incompatible.

"Then, I'm sorry I can't be your companion." After Chang Kun finished speaking, he glanced at Mao Xian and Chu Min meaningfully, and smiled politely, "Everyone take it easy."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Xiu, who had been eyeing him for a long time, closed the door without hesitation.

Chu Chu saw the man locked outside the door, and was confused by the look in his eyes before he left. Monk Zhang Er was puzzled, turned to Qi Huaiyuan who was slowly sitting back and asked, "Who is that?"

Qi Huaiyuan scoffed, with a very dismissive look: "Mad dog."

Qi Xiu nodded in deep agreement, but Mao Xian was the boss who was not happy to hear this, and as always expressed his dissatisfaction with Qi Huaiyuan's defiant behavior with his white eyes.
