"Hey, if you don't let me participate in your actions, I will never tell you the whereabouts of the Yongle Grand Ceremony!" Long Xiaogui shouted angrily in the car.

At this time, Pei Zheng just turned the car into a private industrial road, and then came to a big iron gate.

The electric iron gate in front of the house immediately opened to both sides, and he drove the car inward.

In less than a few minutes, the car stopped in front of a big house. Xiang Di, who was sitting next to the driver's seat, was obviously unmoved by Xiao Gui's threats. He stretched out his hand to open the car door, stepped out his long legs, and got out of the car first.

"Hey, Xiang Di, Xiang..." Ignoring Pei Zheng in the driver's seat, Xiao Gui opened the door and rushed out of the car, following closely beside Xiang Di, "I don't care, I've been involved for no reason, you But insisted on pushing me out, have you ever thought that I might be captured by those men in black, they would kill me, they would never let me go, they..."

Seeing the backs of the two of them entering the house one by one, Pei Zheng, who was sitting in the car, shook his head and sighed.

"It seems that Xiang Di got into trouble this time. That little turtle might be his nemesis." Pei Zheng said to himself feelingly.

Just blurted out the words, and sure enough, Xiang Di's roar was heard immediately.

"To shut up!"

"Oh, that little turtle is really not simple. It can actually annoy a dull man." Pei Zheng smiled and drove the car to the garage.

On the other side, the two continued to argue endlessly——

"Believe it or not, if you keep arguing, I'll tape your mouth up." Xiang Di said "try it if you dare".

Xiao Gui swallowed the words, but she didn't want to give up. Being able to take risks with him and conduct archaeological research, but what she dreamed of, how could she give up easily.

"I don't believe you... Mmm..." After only five words, she showed an expression of disbelief.

Because at the same time, Xiang Di stretched out his hand to grab and hold her, and easily threw her on his shoulder, like carrying a sandbag, and still covered her mouth with one hand.

"Hmm..." Xiao Gui really wanted to kick him, punch him, hit him, but after knowing that he was the person she admired the most, she couldn't do it.

"Shut up." Xiang Di walked into the house with strides, and he did not forget to slap her buttocks hard with his free hand.

"Oh!" He spanked her ass!
This man actually spanked her ass!
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..." Is it true that being famous is worse than meeting?She didn't expect that the object of her admiration was so bad!
"Quiet!" Glaring at her, Xiang Di suddenly found it funny, because her appearance, and those unwilling eyes, seemed a bit aggrieved and stubborn.

"No, no, no..." Long Xiaogui groaned and struggled.

"Master!" Suddenly, another voice came, it was Old Shen, the butler of the Xiang family.

Xiao Gui stopped struggling, and Xiang Di stopped walking forward, turned his head to look to the left, and met Lao Shen's eyes.

"Uh... this... is..." The situation in front of him was a bit embarrassing and complicated, and Lao Shen, who was always reserved, didn't dare to guess.

"You wait here for Pei Zheng, and bring him to my study later." Xiang Di's expression didn't change, and he wasn't embarrassed at all by carrying an extra person on his shoulders.

"Yes." The master didn't say much, but of course the housekeeper, Old Shen, didn't dare to ask more questions, and naturally turned a blind eye to Long Xiaogui.

"Oh, that's right." Xiang Di exchanged glances with him, turned around and walked indoors, stopped suddenly after taking a step, turned his head and asked, "Is there tape in my study?"

"Tape?" Old Shen blinked, not knowing why.

"Yes, I want the wide one. It's better to be strong. It can be used to glue cardboard boxes, the kind that can tie people up and glue their mouths together." Xiang Di said with a serious face.

"Hmm..." Hearing his words, Xiao Gui struggled again in an instant, and it was more intense than before.

Old Shen was almost dumbfounded, but he tactfully said nothing.

The first rule of the housekeeper rule is never to intervene in the master's private affairs.

"Uh... yes, it's in the first drawer of the first closet on the left wall of your study, young master."

"Hmm..." His words made Xiaogui struggle with all her strength. If she could speak, she would definitely curse this pair of heartless master and servant, and curse them to go to hell. Not enough, it is best to go down to the hundredth floor.

"I see." After finishing speaking, Xiang Di raised his hand and slapped Xiao Gui's butt hard. There was a very loud slap, which showed his strength and mercilessness, "Old Shen, wait for Ah Zheng to enter If you come to the house, bring him to the study."

After emphasizing it again, he turned around, ignored the astonished face of the butler, and quickened his pace towards the study.

As soon as Pei Zheng stepped into the study room, he almost lost his eyes in fright. When he came back to his senses, he first laughed, and then laughed uncontrollably.

After a while, he finally stopped laughing and said, "Hey, Xiang Di, are you being too ruthless?"

Looking at his friend in front of him, and then at the ball in the corner, he couldn't help laughing wildly again.

At this moment, Long Xiaogui's hands and feet were bound and tied together, and a large piece of tape was pasted on her mouth, which almost covered half of her face, so she was completely unable to speak.

"Mind your own business." Xiang Di gave him a sharp stare as a warning.

Pei Zheng spread his hands, "Okay, okay, I don't care, but you should at least take off the tape that sealed her mouth, otherwise how can we ask her about the whereabouts of Yongle Dadian?"

Xiang Di looked at him for a few seconds, then slowly got up from the sofa, walked to the corner next to the bookcase, bent down and stared at the person sitting on the ground.

"I'll just say it once. I don't like people who talk non-stop, and I hate people with poor cooperation. Wait a minute and I will tear off the tape on your mouth. If you dare to talk too much, I will immediately put Stick your mouth together again, do you understand?"

How rare!Pei Zheng was dumbfounded.

To make Xiang Di say such a long paragraph in one breath, I am afraid that only Long Xiaogui can do it!
Xiao Gui turned her face away in anger, regretting why her past self made him an idol, he was a bandit at all!
"Your reaction seems to disdain my help, then I will..." Xiang Di made a gesture to leave.

"Hmm..." Her mouth was sealed with tape, and Xiao Gui could only express her dissatisfaction with her eyes.

She wanted to bite him, and once he untied her, she would definitely jump up and bite him.

"How? Are you willing to compromise?" Xiang Di ignored the beating fire in her pupils, anyway, the decision is in his hands, whether to loosen it or remove her sealing tape, it's up to him.

"Hmm..." Xiao Gui shook her head, and decided to end her feud with him.

"Aren't you going to compromise? Would you rather continue to stick the tape on your mouth than be obedient?" Xiang Di squatted down halfway, looking at her level, meeting her eyes that became brighter due to anger.

"Hmm..." Xiao Gui stared at him hard, wishing she could poke a hole in his face or body.

"Forget it, I'll help you remove the tape on your mouth first, but let me tell you first, if you still quarrel, don't blame me for putting the tape on again." Stretching out his hand, Xiang Di made a gesture that could never be called gentle. Peel off the tape.

"Oh!" Xiao Gui cried out in pain, and glared at him even more angrily. "Xiang, you just pray that one day it won't fall into my hands, Long Xiaogui, otherwise I will definitely..."

"Absolutely?" Xiang Di turned around and fetched a new piece of tape.

"I absolutely, absolutely..." The voice disappeared.

I am so unwilling!But the situation was stronger than others, she could only swallow the words that came to her mouth.

Well, anyway, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for three years, so she doesn't believe that she won't catch the opportunity.

"It seems that you already know how to be quiet." Xiang Di said with a smile.

Xiao Gui didn't speak, and gave him a big grimace.

"It seems that you don't want me to remove the tape on your hands and feet." Xiang Di stared at her calmly.I didn't expect her to make funny faces, she was quite cute.

"Of course not, I'm sorry to trouble you." Xiao Gui begged him with her eyes, pretending to be obedient and pitiful.God knows, she was itching with hatred in her heart.

snort!She will find a chance to fix him, she swears.

Xiang Di raised his eyebrows and smiled playfully in his heart.

Although they had only been together for a few hours, he was sure that she definitely did not belong to the class of delicate and delicate women, and there was probably something deceitful about her.

However, he doesn't mind playing with her at all, at least he quite likes the pitiful eyes of her pretending to beg.

He started to undo the tape around her calf.

"I hope you take care of yourself." He said meaningfully, getting up to leave.

Xiao Gui almost gritted her teeth, suppressed her laughter twice, "I still have feet!"

She wanted to lure him to help remove the tape tied around her ankle, so she could take the opportunity to kick him and vent her grievances.

"Aren't your hands free already?" Xiang Di didn't get fooled, stood up and walked back.

Looking at his back, Xiao Gui was very angry, "But you don't think you should..." At least you should be a gentleman, help her remove the tape on her ankle, right?
"Then there's no need. I never believed in the idea of ​​being a gentleman." Xiang Di said disapprovingly without turning around as if he could read her mind.

"Uh!" Xiao Gui was frightened and froze all over for a moment.

He can read minds?Otherwise, how could he guess her mind accurately!
"Okay, okay, let's end here, you two! Why don't we talk about the business first, how about?" At this time, Pei Zheng, who had been quietly watching the show, couldn't stand it any longer. , he came over and joined the conversation.

"Hmph, it's not that I like to trouble him." Xiao Gui bit her lip, her face full of grievances.

Come on, she's the biggest victim, okay?
"Please be careful with your tongue, don't say anything I don't want to hear." Xiang Di turned his face and cast a warning look.

Xiao Gui stopped her mouth in frustration, and responded with resentful eyes.

Xiang Di didn't care at all, "If you are so quiet and obedient, you will look like a good woman with a tutor."

Xiao Gui rolled her eyes and almost passed out on the spot.

Secretly, she swore in her heart—she would let him know that a good woman doesn't have to be weak and quiet, but a good woman can also be as lively and assertive as she is.

Xiang Di, just wait and see!

"Didn't I say it all? A few days ago, Professor Yan called me. He asked me to rush to the Forbidden City, because he was recently commissioned to sort out a list of cultural relics. In the list, he found the Yongle Grand Ceremony." His whereabouts, so he asked me who was working in the Central Library to help. He said that he just had inexplicable emotions close to admiration for that great book, so I..."

"So you all stole those sixty-odd books together?" Pei Zheng intercepted Long Xiaogui's words with a look of disbelief.

"Please, I don't have it!" Xiao Gui protested, "At the beginning, I didn't know the purpose of Professor Yan's approaching me, and I also..." Xiao Gui's voice became softer and she couldn't be right Not strong.

Well, she admitted that she took away three of the more than sixty volumes, but Professor Yan was even more exaggerated. He actually took away all the Yongle Canon in batches in a secret way.

"You also touched a few volumes along the way." Xiang Di took her words coldly, making her face pink, and she was so ashamed that she had nothing to say.

"The problem is, according to my investigation, Professor Yan sold all the Yongle Canon that he got to a French man named Walter." Pei Zheng said, stood up, and began to pace the room.

"You're talking nonsense, Professor Yan was just killed." Xiao Gui retorted sharply.

She couldn't believe that Professor Yan, who always valued antiquities more than her own life, would steal and sell the Yongle Canon.

"You don't believe me?" Pei Zheng stopped and looked at her with raised eyebrows.

"Of course I don't believe it!" It doesn't make sense for her to believe that the professor who has only known her for a few hours, but suspects that she has supported her and taught her for nearly four years, "I was kidnapped by you, and How can I be sure that Professor Yan was not killed by you?"

Speaking of this, Xiao Gui shivered all over her body.

Yes, after thinking calmly, she really couldn't rule out this possibility.

"Why did we kill that stupid old man?" Xiang Di snorted, looking directly at her with burning eyes, "With my reputation, do I need to take care of that stupid old man? I..."

"Your reputation does not prove that you are innocent!" Facing his gaze, Xiao Gui was surprised by her courage, she was like a fighter, not afraid of his majesty.

Crack, crack, crack!There was a burst of applause.

Watching the two fight again, Pei Zheng on the side smiled and gave Xiao Gui admiring glances.

He walked up to Xiang Di, raised his elbow and touched his waist, and said with a small smile, "Xiang Di, I think you have met your opponent this time."

Xiang Di tightened his handsome face, gave him a hard look, and then turned to Long Xiaogui.

"If you're not an idiot you should see the facts."

"The truth is that you might be a bad person too!" Xiao Gui replied with raised eyebrows.Think about it carefully, why did he come to the door?And coincidentally, when the group of men in black invaded her residence.

"If I were a bad person, you would have no chance to stand here and speak. Don't forget, I rescued you." It's really a dog biting Lu Dongbin, who doesn't know the good heart.

"How do I know that all this is not a plan arranged by you." Xiao Gui became more and more suspicious as she thought about it.

"Hmph, what an idiot." After glaring at her hard, Xiang Di didn't bother to talk to her.

"Heaven and earth conscience, you don't think I'm a bad person, do you?" Pei Zheng protested.The last thing he could stand was someone who thought he was a villain.

"You..." Xiao Gui narrowed her eyes with a serious expression, as if evaluating whether his words were credible.

"No way!" Pei Zheng patted his forehead vigorously with one hand, "I've been kind to you from the beginning to the end!"

"Bad people don't write bad words on their faces." Even though she said so, Xiao Gui felt that others were not bad.

"Why are you talking so much to this idiot?" Xiang Di was a little impatient, and his tone was terrible.

"Yes, yes, yes, she is an idiot, you are smart, I think the two of you are just the same, you are two stupid guys at all." Pei Zheng was very aggrieved by the reprimand, and after looking at the two of them each, he simply paced to Aside, do not join their battle.

"Pei Zheng." Xiang Di heard all his mutterings.

"Hi!" Xiao Gui also protested.

"It's not very good now, we're fighting against each other." Spreading his hands, Pei Zheng chose a sofa to sit down and crossed his legs.

"Who will share the same hatred with him?" Xiao Gui refuted Pei Zheng's words, then turned her face away with a snort, she decided not to regard Xiang Di as an idol anymore. "You said you were fine, so how did you follow me? And about Professor Yan, how did you know that he received the task of compiling the inventory of the Forbidden City?"

"Ah Zheng, explain clearly to her, tell her what kind of trouble she has caused, and when it is clear, see if she wants to hand over the hot potato to us, and then you can ask Lao Shen to call me."

Unable to avoid strangling her by mistake, Xiang Di quickly finished speaking, then turned and left, leaving the stunned two people behind.

"He just left?" Long Xiaogui stared at the closed door in a daze.

"It's true that he has this kind of personality." Pei Zheng sighed emotionally.

Xiao Gui turned to look at him. "Impatient?"

"No." Pei Zheng shook his head, "I'm already very patient."

"This is considered patient." Xiao Gui narrowed her eyes, her face full of disbelief.

"Of course." Pei Zheng nodded solemnly, "Xiang Di, you haven't seen him face someone he doesn't like or who doesn't match his frequency, and he doesn't say a word for a long time. Just his eyes can kill .”

"Uh..." Xiao Gui was speechless.

It turned out that the man had always looked like this, and she thought he was only targeting her!
"Actually, the young master is a nice person."

At this time, a voice joined, accompanied by the opening and closing of the door.

It was the housekeeper, Old Shen. He was holding a tray with three drinks on it.

Xiao Gui quickly turned her attention to him.

"Your tea, please." Lao Shen handed a white porcelain cup to Xiao Gui.

"Uh, thank you." Xiao Gui froze for a moment, then reached out to take the tea.She tilted her head to think about it, and couldn't restrain her curiosity, so she couldn't help asking, "You..."

"My surname is Shen. Everyone calls me Old Shen. I'm the housekeeper of the Xiang family." Old Shen thought to himself, this is probably the question the other party wanted to ask, and the young master didn't introduce each other to them just now at the door.

"Old, old Shen... can I call you that too?" Xiao Gui called out the other party's address, only to realize that something was wrong.

"Of course, of course." Hehe laughed twice, and Lao Shen intuitively liked the girl in front of him with a direct and unaffected personality.

"My name is Long Xiaogui. Dragon is the dragon flying in the sky, and Xiao is bamboo with the word you added. As for gui, that is the most troublesome word, but it is definitely not the tortoise of the tortoise, but the rose of the rose. "

This kind of semi-funny self-introduction, Xiao Gui used it many times a year, and it was all thanks to her mother, why not give her a name that looks like a little turtle!
"Ah, hello, hello." Seeing Xiao Gui stretching out a hand, he also reached out to shake it enthusiastically.

Seeing the two going back and forth, and talking enthusiastically, Pei Zheng, who was left on the sidelines, felt a little uncomfortable, and hurriedly said, "Hey, I suddenly remembered that I haven't formally introduced myself just now."

"Isn't your name Pei Zheng?" Xiao Gui turned her face and said doubtfully.

These words poured down Pei Zheng's head like a bucket of ice water, quenching his enthusiasm.

"Forget it, forget it." He turned and walked aside.It turns out that in Xiang's house, a butler's words are more attractive than his, Pei Zheng thought angrily.

"Mr. Ah Zheng is the young master's best friend." Old Shen still knows how to smooth things over, "His parents are former senior operatives of the CIA!"

"Ah!" Xiao Gui was stunned for a moment, then turned her gaze to Pei Zheng.

Pei Zheng turned around and met her gaze just in time, with a cool expression on his face, as if to say - now, you know that I am also a ruthless character, right?

"Uh..." Xiao Gui withdrew her gaze from meeting him, and burst out laughing.

Pei Zheng frowned angrily.

On the side, the butler, Old Shen, was still talking nonsense: "Mr. Ah Zheng helped the young master a lot in the matter of researching and collecting the Yongle Canon. Because Mr. Ah Zheng's family has a tight intelligence network, his parents are supervised by the CIA. After retiring, relying on the contacts in the past, he ran a private detective agency."

"Hey, are you really good at this?" Xiao Gui turned around and walked towards Pei Zheng, raising her eyebrows to look at him.

"It depends on who you compare with." If the opponent is Xiang Di, then he is willing to bow down, thinking that he is only on the verge of passing.

"Compared with whom?" Xiao Gui asked.

"If it was Xiang Di, I would be convinced to lose."

"Is he so good?" Xiao Gui questioned.

"Of course." Pei Zheng glanced at her, "Xiang Di's ancestor was an important minister in the Ming Dynasty. He was knowledgeable and fair. He paid great attention to the records of Zheng He's voyages to the West and the sailing skills of the Ming Dynasty. , so..."

Pei Zheng told Xiao Gui a story about Xiang Di's family history, why the Forbidden City asked Professor Yan Wanjin to reorganize the inventory of cultural relics, why Professor Yan was killed, the Yongle ceremony disappeared, and how they were How to find her, Pei Zheng explained clearly from beginning to end.
