The puppets' stage play

Chapter 183 Fables and Stone Statues

Early morning on December 1th.

Qi Xiu sat on the sofa in the hall, staring at the void in front of him, his eyes thoughtful.

He was wearing a dark blue and black fine uniform, with a white shirt exposed in the middle, a pair of black trousers, and black leather shoes.

A Mamoru was standing by in a black and white maid uniform. She stared at Qi Xiu with her eyes fixed on her face and smiled with great happiness.

Xia Ying, on the other hand, was wearing a brown high-collared long coat that covered his whole body. His somewhat darkened eyes glanced sideways at Jiu Ren, who looked embarrassed, and the latter unaccustomedly pulled on the tight clothes on his body. The loose white uniform was worn by him. A tight-fitting look was heard.

Qi Xiu's eyes narrowed and he looked at the silent people.

"...Anyway, I don't know what will happen to me this time. You guys remember to keep a distance from me at all times. If necessary, I will concentrate our strength on one person."

Qi Xiu shook his head, his face a little serious, "...Maybe it's not that bad, but we can't rely on the kindness of others."

"Now, let's go!" His voice was not passionate. After he finished speaking calmly, Qi Xiu stood up.

He walked steadily, reached the door first, opened it, and walked out.

A lot of black lines flashed in Mamoru's eyes, and the surrounding environment was slightly distorted. Her thin lips curled up a little, and then she walked out.

"Beloved..." Xia Ying sighed and followed without hesitation. The thin shadow on the ground kept shaking, and then gradually joined him, and the sound of overlapping footsteps kept ringing.

"Beloved!" Jiuren grinned, and his fists collided, but there was a dull sound of gold and iron. The crown of thorns loomed on his forehead, and the pupils of his eyes turned dark red in an instant, and the white spots in the internal beta had already occupied most of them. , only a few black spots remain.

He laughed twice and followed the people in front.

Qi Xiu looked forward. There was a woman waiting outside the house. Next to her was a 2-meter-long bubble white suspension car. Her face was already pale from the cold, but she was stubborn and did not actively disturb her. She just waited quietly outside. .

The woman is wearing an elegant pink and white dress, with a circle of white flowers surrounding her waist. The skirts on her lower body are overlapping, like thousands of layers of folds. At the same time, she reveals her jade-like white legs and a pair of sapphire-headed breasts. Pointed toe booties.

"Thank you, Bai Lian." Qi Xiu nodded lightly to the woman, then opened the car door and walked in.

Liang Bailian opened her mouth, a hint of gloom flashed in her eyes, but finally closed her mouth. She shook her head and welcomed the following people with a flawless smile on her face.

Mamoru glanced at the woman and then sat beside Qi Xiu in the back seat, while the other two sat silently beside Qi Xiu without saying anything.

She waited patiently for a while, but no one came out.

"No need to wait, L...my sister has something else to do." Qi Xiu's eyes moved, his head turned this way, and he said calmly to Liang Bailian, who was still waiting.

Then tell me! It took Liang Bailian a long time not to say the words that were stuck in her throat, but when she saw Qi Xiu's cold eyes, she couldn't help but lose her courage. She had to get in the car obediently and face the man opposite.

"Start and head to the Bai family's main residence"

An imperceptible sound of "ding" sounded, and the white hover car smoothly lifted into the air and headed towards the destination.

The car was extremely spacious, with three rows of seats. Qi Xiu was in the middle, Ah Shou was next to him, and the other two were at the back.

Liang Bailian stared at the man's face and felt a little absent-minded. However, when she saw Du De frowning slightly, she immediately regained her composure and thought for a moment.

"A few days ago, I have directed people to beautify your online label, at least to give the public a good enough image of you, but at the same time I also found that there is a group of people who are attacking you."

"I urged Tu Lin to continue beautifying, and sent people to investigate privately, only to find that the other party had no intention of covering up..."

"It must be Tang Xian, only he can do these tricks." Qi Xiu's eyes narrowed and he spoke out his speculation.

"Yes, it's the other party, but he doesn't feel well either." Liang Bailian had an inexplicable smile on her face. "Since he dares to hack you, I will send people to hack him. I will vigorously promote the other party's achievements on the Internet. In return, to flatter the other party”

"In the end, it aroused the hostility of passers-by, and their image of Tang Xian became worse and worse. In the end, only one or two labels were barely considered positive, huh."

Liang Bailian hummed proudly and looked at Du De with a bright smile, her eyes shining.

Qi Xiu shook his head slightly, but the words he spoke next made the woman's face freeze.

"There is no need. Tang Xian and I have a certain tacit understanding. We will be hostile openly. Although he is indeed unhappy with me, he will not deliberately target me."

"I think Tang Xian must not have much reaction to this."

Liang Bailian pursed her lips, and then said: "Indeed, although the other party is still hacking you, they don't have any strong countermeasures..."

Qi Xiu glanced at the woman who spoke in a low tone, and then reassured: "It doesn't matter, you can continue to do this. It's not that it's not good for me, but I never value these things."

"I will restrain myself, at least I won't target the other person." Liang Bailian honestly admitted her mistake and told her future plans.

Qi Xiu nodded and said no more, and the two fell into silence again.

His eyes suddenly glanced to his side, and then he looked back with a calm expression. His fingers on his lap tapped rhythmically, and someone's voice came to his ears.

"When a little girl pleases you, you really hurt other people's hearts by doing this."

'It doesn't matter, what happened to what I asked you to do'

"Don't worry, it's been completed a long time ago. You are really cautious. In order to prevent those 'flies' from the outside world from finding out, you didn't even use simple words."

'After all, words without a contract will eventually spread in the air, so we have to guard against it. In order to prevent exposure, you also keep quiet.'

"Yes, yes, he is such an inconsiderate man."

The sound in his ears gradually stopped, and Qi Xiu's fingers suddenly stopped. Liang Bailian opposite was still secretly sad and didn't notice his little movements.

"...As the former lords of the city, the Bai family's main residence is not in Haizhou City, so even if it declines, the mansion here has always been preserved, and Bai Chongshan, the founder of the Bai family, has always lived there. here"

"Even when the Bai family withdrew from Haizhou City, he never came forward, so many people speculated that the other party had died long ago. Otherwise, if the other party had come forward, the Bai family would not have fallen into what it is now."

Liang Bailian knocked around, and the originally sealed environment was instantly transformed into the outside world. The white floating car shuttled through the clouds, and several clusters of white clouds were scattered.

The clear white sky is connected to the blue and even black starry sky further away. If ordinary people look at it, they may instantly feel the insignificance of people and feel fearful.

But everyone present had dull eyes. They glanced at the deep starry sky in the distance, as if they were looking at an ordinary scene.

Liang Bailian's eyes were filled with amazement. Du De didn't know where he found these people, but they were so...confident? !

She racked her brains and could only find this word. If ordinary people were like this, she would just think that the other party was ignorant of the world and pretended to be calm. But looking at the performances of several people, she had to believe that there were really people who were born powerful.

She reached out and pointed at the outline of the buildings in the distance, her eyes filled with solemnity.

"That is the main residence of the Bai family."

She turned her head, but was shocked to find that the attitudes of the people who had been indifferent before had changed drastically. They were looking deeply ahead, as if they were looking into a dragon's pond and a tiger's den.

Liang Bailian felt something strange in her heart. What on earth was going on with these people? She looked at Du De, the leader, with extremely confused eyes, trying to get an explanation from him.

Qi Xiu looked at the other party's doubtful eyes, thought for a moment, and then told an allusion.

"The tiger in the mountains is entrenched somewhere. It is unstoppable and powerful. Then it enters the market, shrinks and loses its power."

Liang Bailian's eyes showed a look of surprise. This allusion is that there is a tiger in a certain mountain that is very majestic and fearless all day long. However, when it comes to a human city one day, it is frightened and has no usual majesty.

Of course, this story is not true. It is just a metaphor for a certain truth. It is a metaphor for a person who relies on his own advantages to become very famous in the local area, but in the big city, he is ignored by everyone.

It is used to accuse some people who do not know how to be generous. However, in the following years, people talked about this story with great enthusiasm, and it has derived two meanings, one is the original meaning, and the other interpretation is biased towards the positive.

Even the majestic tiger will feel uncomfortable when left the environment to which it has adapted. It just shows timidity to paralyze others, and then it will become a blockbuster in the future. It means that it has hidden minions and has far-reaching ambitions, but it is only temporarily frustrated.

Qi Xiu's rhetoric naturally leaned toward the latter.

Liang Bailian curled her mouth, looked at a few people with a smile, and then looked at Du De.

"Then we need to let them get used to it more. As your subordinates, naturally they can only be afraid of you."

Qi Xiu nodded gently and dropped the topic.

Xia Ying and Jiu Ren looked at each other with a little helplessness in their eyes. So any broken house was worthy of their attention, because they were concerned about someone who might exist inside.

Mamoru turned a deaf ear to this and just stayed aside quietly, only occasionally looking at Qi Xiu with his eyes full of nostalgia.

The journey gradually shortened as several people talked about it from time to time, and soon they arrived in front of the Bai family's main house.

Qi Xiu and others got out of the car, and Liang Bailian directed his car to go to the parking lot by itself. The white suspension car dragged Liuguang flying into the sky.

"There is a parking lot designed by the Bai family nearby. I'll tell my car to come after we come out." Liang Bailian turned her head and explained briefly to a few people, mainly Du De.

Qi Xiu nodded and looked towards the mansion, feeling a powerful and profound sense of history.

The walls are made of green bricks and jade tiles, and the door is a dark black color with a combination of sunken wood and cast iron. There is a ferocious beast on the left and right. At this moment, the door is open, and a fat figure is constantly entertaining visitors at the door.

Qi Xiu didn't look at the man, but stared at the stone statue at the door with a surprised expression.

"That's Crying Amber. It is said to be a combination of tiger and fish. It is one of the legendary creatures and is often used at doors to ward off evil spirits." Liang Bailian whispered, Qi Xiu smiled slightly and walked towards the door.

There was something deep in his heart. It was not a legend. It was one of the races that lived in ancient times and was also a dependent of a certain monarch.
