My Endless Life.

Chapter 206 Drinking
Li Qi stood up and left.

Although He Ru had come up empty-handed, she did not show any dissatisfaction. She sat down on the chair and smiled softly, covering her mouth:
"I never thought that you are such a decent person..."

"No need to say anything extra." Li Qi walked around, sat down on the other side, and said to He Ru:

"I came here today to ask Magistrate Qian for something, so I need to meet with Lord Qian. Miss Heru, please go back and inform him."

"Haha, Lord Li, although I don't hold an official position, Lord Qian has always liked me. Therefore, within this county government, I still have the final say on all matters, big or small."

He Ru smiled.

What she meant was that even if the county magistrate didn't come now, she still had the power to make the decision on his behalf.

Li Qi was a little surprised when he heard the hidden meaning in He Ru's words.

Judging from He Ru's background, she doesn't look like a lady from a good family, but more like a prostitute.

It is very common for high-ranking officials to have concubines and maids who are born prostitutes around them, and it is not worth mentioning.

But normally speaking, no matter how much the nobles dote on this prostitute, there must be a limit.

A situation like this, where the maidservant can take full charge when the master is not around... Li Qike has never seen such a situation before.

Unless, He Ru is not a real maid, she has another identity.

Li Qi's eyes moved slightly and he looked around the banquet.

The people seated at the banquet were the few people present here, and no other officials of high rank were seated at the table.

Not to mention the clerks and the judges...even the local county magistrate was not there. Instead, everything was handled by a maid who seemed to have a low status.

This is a strange thing no matter how you look at it.

Li Qi thought for a moment, looked at the maid He Ru who was still looking at him with a smile, and said:
"In that case, I would like to have the case files from the county government over the years. Miss, can you please give them to me?"

There was a hint of tentativeness in Li Qi's words.

Document files are one of the most important things in the county government. Even the county magistrate himself may not be able to decisively hand them over when faced with a request from a high-ranking official.

If He Ru could decisively hand the things over to Li Qi, it would mean that He Ru's identity was indeed extraordinary.

And if He Ru hesitated for a moment and then refused, it would prove that although He Ru was favored by County Magistrate Qian, this favor was extremely limited.

If it is the former, then Li Qi might really have to investigate the identity of this maid.

if the latter one……

Li Qi doesn't need to worry too much about that.

Li Qi thought so and looked at Miss He Ru.

After a few breaths, Li Qi saw that He Ru started to laugh and said:

"What's the difficulty? If you need it, I will personally deliver the files to your residence after this banquet."

He Ru answered decisively and quickly, with almost no hesitation or delay.

Upon hearing this, Li Qi looked at the other person deeply.

"Then it's Miss Lao Heru..."

……

As the host did not show up in person and Li Qi had no interest in He Ru, the banquet ended quickly.

Li Qi barely even touched his chopsticks during this time. After talking to He Ru, he led Jiang Ming away.

He didn't even take the jewels in the two mahogany boxes.

After seeing off Li Qi and Jiang Ming, Master Liu breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at He Ru:

"Miss Heru, do you really want to send that file?"

"nature."

He Ru looked in the direction where Li Qi left, licking her lips in a slightly lewd manner.

Liu Zhi was slightly dazzled by He Ru's actions, his lips were dry, and after a while he said:
"…But…didn't the county magistrate say that these files cannot be touched?"

Hearing this, He Ru turned her gaze back to Liu Zhi: "What can be moved and what cannot be moved, I know better than you, Master Liu, so you don't have to worry about these things, the rest... I can handle it."

Although He Ru called herself "slave" all the time, and everyone could see her humble attitude, there was a hint of command to Liu Zhi in her tone.

Liu Zhi didn't think there was anything wrong. He smiled at He Ru and said:

"Miss Heru, you just need to know what's going on, but... do you really want to deliver it to Li Xunyou in person? Li Xunyou may seem decent, but he is a man after all..."

What Liu Zhi wanted to say was that any man would dislike He Ru, and he was worried that He Ru would really do something with Li Xunyoushi.

Although he also knew that if He Ru wanted to find the patrol envoy, what the two of them wanted to do was not something he, a small master, could say.

But he still had some delusions in his heart, fantasizing about being able to have sex with He Ru.

Therefore, when Master Liu thought of He Ru moaning in someone else's arms, he felt very uncomfortable.

Liu Zhi's thoughts were so obvious that they were almost written on his face.

Looking at his expression, He Ru smiled gently and said with curved eyes:
"Master Liu, are you not...?"

He Ru drew out the words and said nothing, yet it seemed as if she had said everything.

Liu Zhi blushed immediately, stood up and said hurriedly:

"Miss Heru, how could you think of me like that! I...I...I'm just worried about your safety!"

"Haha, yes, yes, Master, you are worried about my safety. I am just a little maid, but I can cause you to worry so much. I am really touched."

He Ru pretended to be touched, and then changed the subject: "...Since Master is so good to me, why don't I do this...After I deliver the files, I will come back to talk to you to repay your kindness. Master...what do you think?" "This...this, this..."

Upon hearing this, Master Liu's eyes suddenly lit up, and for a moment, he felt like he was floating in the air.

However, he did not notice that He Ru's eyes suddenly turned cold after she said this.

Looking at him, it was as if he was looking at a dead person.

……

"Ah Qiu!"

Not long after leaving the banquet, Li Qi couldn't help but sneeze.

He took out a disposable handkerchief he made, rubbed his nose vigorously, then threw away the handkerchief and asked Jiang Ming:

"Who is this He Ru? Have you ever seen him?"

"Um... I have never seen her, but I have heard that this Miss He Ru was the most beautiful girl in the city's brothel a few years ago. She was later redeemed by the county magistrate and later became Magistrate Qian's personal maid and was deeply loved by the county magistrate."

"Is this 'favored'? Being qualified to decide where the county files go, this power is probably second only to the county magistrate."

Li Qi exhaled a few times, and when he felt his nose was cleared, he complained to Jiang Ming:

"Besides, the woman's scent of perfume is too strong. I don't know how the county magistrate can stand her."

"Really? I think it's okay..."

Jiang Ming found it a bit strange to see Li Qi sneezing non-stop.

He just felt that He Ru's scent was a little more fragrant than that of ordinary women, but not to the point of being pungent.

Maybe it’s just because Lord Li is very skilled in martial arts and has sharp five senses.

Jiang Ming was thinking about it when he heard Li Qi say:

"Forget it. Now that we have the files, we don't need to worry about it. Send someone to the brothel this afternoon to check on this He Ru. I'll just wander around the city. You don't need to follow me."

"Yes."

He Ru's identity is not normal, and her physical condition is not normal either.

Li Qi had only seen such slow blood flow and such low body temperature in some animals.

If He Ru was not suffering from any illness, then she must have practiced some special technique.

Even...it might be a monster similar to the bat demon from Feisha Gang!
However, her body structure is still the same as that of an ordinary person, unlike the bat spirit of the Feisha Gang, whose body structure has been changed and it looks like a large human-shaped bat.

Even if it is really a monster, He Ru must be a big monster and we cannot act rashly.

So Li Qi asked Jiang Ming to investigate first, while he walked around the city to see if this Miss He Ru would come to him.

Judging from the look she gave Li Qi the last time, there is a high probability that she will find Li Qi.

At that time, Li Qi can take action to test whether she is a monster or a human.

Jiang Ming was ordered to go to the brothel to investigate He Ru. After lunch, Li Qi began to wander around the city.

In order to find monsters in this city, Li Qi had visited many places in the city before. He had a general idea of ​​which restaurants were bustling and could hear news that he could not hear normally.

Therefore, most of the places we visited in the afternoon were these.

Including the day the Feisha Gang was destroyed, a total of three days have passed so far.

In the past three days, the matter of the annihilation of the Feisha Gang has been hotly discussed in the city.

Rumors of demons causing trouble gradually spread in the city.

However, in places where there are more people from the martial arts world, it is said that it is done by people from the evil world.

"What kind of monster? In my opinion, it must be the work of those evil cults from outside the Great Wall!"

A burly man in the restaurant shouted in a rough voice, slapping the table as he shouted.

Some people nodded in agreement, but others objected:

"What you said is totally unreasonable. Although the members of the Demon Cult are fierce and cruel, they dare not act recklessly in our Great Qi territory. Do you really think that the six major sects and six gates are just for show?"

"What can the six major sects do? They are now fighting each other to death! So many first-rate sects have been involved, how can they care about the affairs of the Demon Sect?"

Some people in the underworld made excuses.

The fight between the six major sects has lasted for more than ten years.

No one knows why they are fighting. Anyway, up to now, the six major sects have been fighting against each other and have hatred against each other, making the martial arts world a mess.

In addition, the Emperor of Da Qi is now a tyrant. He is obsessed with searching for immortals and asking for the way all day long, and doesn't pay much attention to the martial arts world, making the entire Da Qi unstable.

As the chaotic times are approaching, is it any wonder that some demons, monsters, and villains appear at this time?

On the contrary, it would be strange if those members of some evil cult didn't take the opportunity to cause trouble!
These warriors who are only at the eighth and ninth ranks are having a great time discussing the major events in the martial arts world.

One is talking about the six major sects, and the other is talking about the six gates.

Although he is not strong in martial arts, he is very knowledgeable when talking about gossip.

Li Qi sat here and listened happily, even interjecting a few words from time to time, completely blending into the environment.

After gathering intelligence in this way for a while, Li Qi's leisure was broken by someone.

It was Miss He Ru who promised to deliver the files.

She was wearing a bamboo hat at the moment, and also pretended to be a gangster as she approached Li Qi, causing everyone to look over here.
