Chapter 53 He Qing's Kindness

The party was held at Lanyue Tower in the east of the city, which can be said to be the highest-standard restaurant in Jiangcheng. The third floor is never easy to open to people, and Du Qi chose the third floor for the banquet.

When Gu Qing arrived at the entrance of the restaurant, he met He Qing.

He Qing smiled and said: "I came earlier, and I heard that he invited you. Anyway, I'm fine, so I'll wait for you here."

Of course, it was not an accident that Duqi invited He Qing, and it would be abnormal not to invite him.

Gu Qing said: "Shall we go up now?"

He was a little surprised in his heart, He Qing was injured, although he hid it well, but Gu Qing still noticed that it seems that the city is not peaceful these days.

After a period of contact, Gu Qing certainly understood that even if he put aside his identity as a practitioner, He Qing's social status is very special, which should have a lot to do with the owner of the manor.Who would provoke him?
In connection with the recent events in the city, it is obviously related to the owner behind the shopkeeper Ma and the death of Ding Dian prison.

He Qing shook his head and said, "Let's talk first."

Gu Qing suddenly understood that He Qing waited for him on purpose, not because he hadn't seen him for a long time, but because he missed him very much.

The two arrived at a secluded place, and He Qing said: "I had something to do a few days ago, otherwise I would have come to you long ago. Jiangcheng is not peaceful recently, I think it is not very safe for you to live alone, you'd better come to my place Stay for a while, let's be a companion by the way, otherwise I will be very boring all day."

Gu Qing said: "Is the unrest related to the murder case a few days ago?"

He Qing said: "That's right, you were there when I heard that something happened to Ding Dian Prison."

Gu Qing said: "Yes."

He Qing said: "To be honest, this matter may cause you trouble."

Gu Qing said: "Why? I have never contacted the government again, and Mr. Fang also greeted me, saying that I will not be involved."

In fact, he knew very well in his heart that if it weren't for the misunderstanding of the blind luthier, his life would not be so peaceful.

He Qingdao: "I heard that the lost painting was originally intended to be repaired by you. Although the painting is lost now, the person who stole the painting is still in Jiangcheng, and you and I, Du Qi and Fang Lao are all acquainted, so your identity is destined Not ordinary people. So I have to tell you now, even if you are not a practitioner, you may be hard to avoid the right and wrong of some practitioners."

Gu Qing said: "You mean that the person who committed the murder may find me?"

He Qingdao: "That's right, the person who asked you to repair the painting is called Yu Donglou, he is the nephew of Zhong Wudao, the elder of Tianjueguan, and he is in charge of Tianjueguan's property in Jiangcheng. The business contacts are very close, and they are actually doing things for Tian Jueguan, because practitioners sometimes need some rare medicinal materials or even natural treasures. As the largest medicinal material chamber of commerce in Jiangcheng, Tianxiang Association can help Tian Jueguan a lot help.

And the Ding prison who died, according to my information, I am afraid that he is also a person of extreme beauty.He is in charge of criminal names, and he is not a low-ranking official. He has long been a cover for some things done by Tianxianghui and Yu Donglou. "

Gu Qing actually knew about Ding Dian Prison, but the memory he got was not very complete and detailed. After hearing what He Qing said, he understood Ding Dian Prison's role in Tian Jue Guan better.

Tianxianghui and Yudonglou have a lot of business, and they will definitely encounter some disputes sometimes, and it is not uncommon to cause murder cases. With an official figure like Ding Dianyu as a cover, many unnecessary troubles will naturally be avoided .

Analyzing at a deeper level, Gu Qing suddenly thought of one thing clearly, the purpose of the blind luthier and his gang is probably the property of the Tianxiang Club.

Ding Dianyu can secretly escort Tianxianghui, while Yudonglou can convey benefits to Tianxianghui. After all, Tianxiang will have sufficient financial resources, and the search for and acquisition of rare medicinal materials and treasures of heaven and earth will be even greater.

Neither of the two people who died was a practitioner, but behind it was a conflict of interest between the practice community.

It also made Gu Qing understand the connection between practitioners and the secular world.Just like the Lingyun pine, it seems to float out of the dust, but in fact, the roots must firmly grasp the thick layer of earthly soil in order to absorb nutrients and continue to rejuvenate.

Gu Qing said: "What will happen to Tianxiang now?"

He Qing's eyes paused on Gu Qing for a moment, and he said, "I didn't expect you to understand that Tianxiang would be the key so soon. Brother Gu, do you believe me?"

Gu Qing said: "Brother He is very kind to me."

He Qingdao: "There are some things that I can't help myself. I want to get you out of the vortex, but I can't do anything. You are smarter than I thought, and now I have a suggestion, you can join us, as long as you pass the test and become our Even if you start a little late in your practice, you can still take pills to assist in your practice. Even if you can't cultivate to a very strong level by then, it will be enough to give you some self-protection power."

At the end of his speech, he paused, and said: "And I have been looking for someone who can take over my position in Jiangcheng. There is no suitable candidate for now. If you are willing to join us and pass the test, you will officially become a member of us. , I think you have a certain chance to succeed me. After all, your talent and appearance are in line with the requirements of the people above."

Gu Qing pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "To be honest, I am very interested in cultivation, so I can't find a reason to refuse your kindness."

He Qing smiled slightly and said, "I'm different from you. If it weren't for the fact that being a practitioner can give me a lot of convenience, I wouldn't want to practice. In life, you should enjoy yourself when you are alive. You are not as good as me in this regard. I think you are very restrained. .”

Gu Qing thought: "Because cultivation is not your happiness."

Of course he understands that He Qing's promise is more like a cake now, but He Qing's invitation to join their forces is also out of good intentions.

He Qing might think that in the undercurrents of Jiangcheng, if Gu Qing didn't have a strong identity to protect him, he might be overwhelmed by the tide that would rise at any time.

Gu Qing said: "I can only say that my ambition is not here, please tell Brother He, what test will I accept?"

He Qingdao: "There is no rush on this matter. I will discuss the specific situation with you after the Duqi dinner is over."

Gu Qing nodded.

Gu Qing has no reason to refuse He Qing's kindness, no matter how much he can hide himself, some troubles are still inevitable.Unless he hides in the deep mountains and old forests, he doesn't come into contact with people.

As a result, his practice will stagnate sooner or later, and he will easily go astray.

Only by in-depth contact with the practice world can Gu Qing have more resources to promote the research on practice.

It's just that this opportunity came a bit suddenly and easily.

However, Gu Qing observed He Qing from the beginning to the end, and found no problems. Therefore, it is basically certain that He Qing did have good intentions. Of course, part of the reason is that Gu Qing has his own advantages, such as being very talented.

It's just that there are so many talented and learned people in this world, and He Qing can't want to protect everyone. To put it bluntly, it's because He Qing has a good sense of Gu Qing.

Gu Qing also understands that this kind of thing is normal, for powerful people, sometimes pleasing to the eye is the biggest reason.

But in the future, Gu Qing will also have to be tied with He Qing, which is also the risk of this matter.

And there is no good thing in the world that can be harvested without risk.

Then the two went to the third floor of the restaurant and saw Du Qi.

Seeing Gu Qing, Du Qi was surprised and said: "Brother Gu, I haven't seen you for a few days, you seem to have lost some weight."

Of course Gu Qing did not lose weight, this is the effect of Wuzheng mentality, making Gu Qing look more ordinary, more peaceful, and easier for people to let go of their guard.

Only then did He Qing realize this. Just now he was in a hurry to talk about things and didn't pay much attention to Gu Qing's changes. Now that he realized it, he realized that Gu Qing's temperament seemed to have changed, and he seemed to be more gentle and easy-going.

"Could it be that Brother Gu's Bingxuan Jin has already been used? It doesn't look like it?" He Qing didn't want to understand, but he didn't get entangled. He just found a chance to ask Gu Qing later.
