The puppets' stage play

Chapter 173 Chess piece, lost

Qi Xiu looked at Liang Bailian and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

The girl wears a beige inner shirt, a light white coat, a long white skirt, and light blue boots that go straight to the inside. She has her hands behind her back, her upper body slightly tilted, her manners are generous, and her smile is like a flower.

"The elders of my family have already rested. The old people think it is shallow. As a younger generation, you must be considerate. So let me let the little girl hold a banquet to entertain Junior Du. Please come this way."

Liang Bailian moved forward, stretched out her hands as an invitation, looked directly at Qi Xiu, and still had a smile on her lips.

"...Wait here for a moment." Qi Xiu raised his head and glanced at the sky, turned his head and said to Captain Wang, ignoring Tu Lin who was about to speak.

"go Go!"

Captain Wang had an intriguing smile on his face and his eyes were a little narrow. He knocked Tu Lin aside, causing the latter to suffer a lot.

The smile on Liang Bailian's face grew stronger, but there was a hint of silence deep in her eyes. She glanced at Tu Lin, turned around and stepped forward to lead the way for Qi Xiu.

The two of them crossed the gate of Liang's house and walked down the long and slender corridor. The woman walked in the middle and talked about the past of her house, while the waiter held a lantern in front of him to illuminate the way forward.

"I, the Liang family, have passed down poems and calligraphy since ancient times. Together with the once prosperous Tu family, they are known as the two most famous families in the world. If they are on the left, Liang will be on the right, so they have little reputation, and the relationship between the two families is not It’s just a case of contempt between scholars, which is far from being called harmony.”

"But since the disaster, the Tu family was destroyed, and my Liang family also split into several families. It no longer has the momentum of the past. And my grandfather found Mr. Zhou, who was very powerful at the time, so my branch became the main branch. ....."

"I'm not interested in these." Qi Xiu interrupted Liang Bailian's story coldly and reached forward.

Liang Bailian's body trembled, and she turned around with a flawless smile. Her eyelashes trembled inadvertently. She opened her eyes and watched Qi Xiu's hand move closer to her with a cold face.

"Please..." He whispered to dissuade him, but his body didn't make any movement, he just stood there.

Qi Xiu's hand slowly moved forward and stayed on the other person's chest for a moment. Looking at Liang Bailian who was trembling and the waiter watching all this quietly not far away, the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up.

His hands suddenly moved up and grabbed the other person's neck. Watching Liang Bailian's expression change from surprise to confusion, and her complexion from rosy to pale, Qi Xiu looked at everything quietly and glanced at the waiter from the corner of his eye.

The other party always stood there motionless. In Qi Xiu's eyes, the other party was like a stone, unresponsive to the outside world and only followed his own daily behavior pattern.

"No need...it's a waste of...his efforts...he can't...may...react..." someone said in his ear. Intermittent sounds.

Qi Xiu turned his gaze and turned to Liang Bailian, who showed no signs of struggle even though she was having difficulty breathing. He loosened his hand slightly and caught her chin, making it face him.

"Say!"

A smile appeared on the woman's pale face, and an inexplicable light shone in her eyes as she looked at Qi Xiu.

"They will only follow the rules set by their breeders. They have no vision, hearing, or touch. They live in a blank world and follow the rules every day on the road they have walked countless times."

"They look like humans, but in fact they are just a means of concealment. Their essence is the same as those machines. It is the supreme 'honor' given to them by the Liang family." Liang Bailian did not hesitate to raise a sarcastic smile.

"Even if something happens to the Liang family, they will only wait not far away and will not come to ask. So, originally, even if you take possession of me here, there will be no problem at all."

Liang Bailian stretched out her hands to both sides, her exquisite body was highlighted to the fullest, with a satisfied and dedicated smile on her face. She looked at Qi Xiu lightly, with no unnecessary emotions in her eyes.

Qi Xiu slowly approached Liang Bailian and looked at the other person's delicate and flawless face with cold eyes until he met his eyes. Those eyes were as bright as the stars in the sky, smart and full of wisdom.

He stared at the fearless Liang Bailian and suddenly laughed. He put down his hand, looked at the other party's shocked expression, and asked solemnly.

"Listen, I don't need this boring stuff, I just want to ask you..."

"If you are willing to serve me, you will only think about one thing every moment in the future, and that is how to better think about me. Your youth and your wisdom will be turned into resources for my growth."

"At the cost of this, I will support you so that you never have to do something like today again, how about it?" Qi Xiu seemed to be asking, but in fact he had already made up his mind. If the other party disagreed, he would throw him away. Choke him to death and find someone else.

"...What?" Liang Bailian's eyes were a little dazed. She looked at Qi Xiu who solemnly promised in front of her, and couldn't help but think of the scene she thought she had forgotten.

A pair of heavy hands lifted her to his shoulders, with a bright smile on his face, a man full of happiness.

"Xiaolian, don't be afraid, dad will always support you!"

.............

Liang Bailian covered her face with her hands, holding back the tears that were about to burst out. It turned out that she had never forgotten it.

Qi Xiu looked at the other person whose emotions were constantly fluctuating with cold eyes, and his heart was filled with cold thoughts.

That's right, only people with shortcomings are easier to control. Liang Bailian seems to be all-rounded and has no truth to tell, but Qi Xiu has long discovered the fragile side of her heart, and she only needs an opportunity!

It didn't take long for Liang Bailian to stop her emotions. After just a moment, she put down her hands, but the dark corners were still red.

She stared at Qi Xiu with a bright look on her face. She stretched out her hand and her face turned red.

"Anyway, Xiaolian, I was abandoned by the Liang family, so I might as well follow you...Besides, this can be considered an investment," she said softly, as if she was covering something up.

Qi Xiu stretched out his hand to hold it, with a satisfied smile on his face, and looked at the other person with piercing eyes. Liang Bailian felt that the other person's gaze was a bit dazzling, and his eyes turned to one side unconsciously.

Then he gave some eager suggestions to Qi Xiu, and his brain was gradually waking up.

"Then what are you going to do next? Are you going to completely defeat the Liang family? Or... pull the Liang family into your chariot. With all due respect, the Liang family will not make a bet easily."

"Even if you destroy the Liang family now, it won't help. The key figures of the Liang family are not here, and... Mr. Zhou seems to not care about the Liang family, but he can't tell what the other party really thinks."

"So even if you use the power of the academy, it won't help..."

"No need, I'm only here for you." Qi Xiu suddenly felt that what he said was somewhat ambiguous. Looking at the other party's speechless look, he added.

"My original intention is not to defeat or win over the other party, I just want to take you as a talent under my command."

"Yes...yes" Liang Bailian swallowed, her face a little red.

Qi Xiu looked around the Liang family, shook his head, and took one step ahead, heading towards the door where he came from, while Liang Bailian behind him stayed where he was, with a rather complicated look in his eyes.

"Let's go" Qi Xiu turned his head and said to the other party.

Liang Bailian pursed her lips, walked a few steps quickly, and then followed Qi Xiu, looking at his back, with longing and a trace of inexplicable attachment in her eyes.

Qi Xiu didn't have the complicated and inexplicable emotions behind Liang Bailian. He turned his head and muttered to himself.

The second piece is in place.

After walking out of the door, Captain Wang was scolding Tu Lin boredly. When he saw Qi Xiu coming out with Liang Bailian, his eyes were filled with surprise and...contempt.

He looked at Liang Bailian's remaining blushing face and slightly panting posture, then turned to look at Qi Xiu, who had a cold face, shook his head and sighed, with unspeakable pity in his eyes.

Tu Lin lowered his head and looked at Liang Bailian with a "spring breeze" face from the corner of his eyes. He couldn't help but feel a twitch in his heart and his face was a little distorted. This bitch! He immediately cursed everyone in his heart.

Qi Xiu couldn't help but narrow his eyes when he saw Captain Wang's deliberate look. Liang Bailian, who was following Qi Xiu step by step, had a slightly embarrassed look on his face.

"Ha" he chuckled, but this sound, which was neither serious nor serious, made Captain Wang's face freeze. Tu Lin, who was on the side, lowered his eyes and became more silent. He turned around and left immediately regardless of the two of them.

Everyone looked at each other, then followed each other, and Liang Zhai regained his composure.

In the passage where the scenery is constantly changing.

"...I worked hard and finally escaped from their encirclement, but I didn't dare to return to the academy." Lin Dao said to the crowd with a solemn face.

The other people's expressions were a little heavy, but Zhou Zhuqing's expression was a little strange. He looked at Lin Dao, and for the first time he felt that his ability to make up lies was so good.

The news he got was that after Lin Dao defeated many troops by himself, he drifted away alone without any injuries from the beginning to the end. Otherwise, he would only support the opponent after he was full. Even if he lost his mind, the Zhou family would not agree.

"...So we still have to be as vigilant as possible. After all, the college is indeed hostile to us." Lin Dao said in his tone that the situation at this time was extremely serious, and he and others should pay more attention.

I am hostile to you, everyone added in their hearts in unison.

"...What should we do next? I think both Gong Shoucheng and Zhang Qian have their own deductions for this situation." Zhou Zhuqing couldn't bear to listen to the other party's nonsense and interrupted him.

Lin Dao's face froze, and he looked at Zhou Zhuqing with a faint look. It was rare that he became interested, and he sighed.

"Well, those two people do have a plan, but the time has not come yet. We need to wait for a while, so let us get along well with each other during this period."

Everyone looked at each other, and Shen Daoyan was a little surprised. Why did he mention those two people? He was about to ask a question, but was held down by Zhou Zhuqing on the side. He shook his head, indicating that it was not appropriate to ask questions now.

Shen Daoyan immediately swallowed the doubts in his mouth. Yes, the most important thing for them now was to leave from here. Thinking of this, he and several others looked at Lin Dao, who looked a little embarrassed.

"Why are you lost?!" they asked Lin Dao with twitching corners of their mouths.

"It's just... that... I ran too far, and I can't recognize the place... Haha." Lin Dao laughed a few times, trying to lighten the atmosphere, but he only received cold looks from everyone.

"Okay, let me reminisce..." He could only look through his memories with a grimace, hoping that the guy who taught him how to identify geographical locations would not lie to him.
