Ningrong Street, Ningguo Mansion.

When Jia Qiang came back, it was already dusk.

After getting off the horse, Li Yong, the housekeeper, came to report that Liu Xianglian, Xue Pan and Baoyu from Xifu had all come and were waiting in the front hall.

Jia Qiang nodded and went straight to the front hall.

After arriving at the front hall, besides the three of them, Qiguan Jiang Yuhan was also there.

The wine table has already been set up, several plates of appetizers have been served, and the pot of mutton is also placed in the middle, but the four of them are chatting and laughing around a group of radiators...

"Oh, Brother Qiang is back, you can count yourself back!"

Although Liu Xianglian was the first to see the four of them, it was Xue Pan who spoke first, complaining: "You are invited by the host, and all the guests are here, but the host is not here!"

Jia Qiang laughed, picked up the jug and wine cup at the table, poured herself a drink and ate three cups, then said with a smile: "It's my fault, I punish myself with three cups to express my apology."

Xue Pan laughed loudly and said, "Okay! It's Brother Qiang after all, be refreshing!"

Liu Xianglian was also laughing, but Baoyu was a little uncomfortable. He was really afraid of Jia Qiang now, and Qiguan's eyes were still so tender...

Liu Xianglian looked at Jia Qiang and said with a smile: "Marquis Ning is more precious now than before. I thought we would never get together again."

Jia Qiang waved her hand and said, "What do you say about precious or not? I have never changed my relationship with my friends. You can ask Brother Xue."

Xue Pan laughed and said: "He is busy all day long, but whenever he is free, he still visits me, finds a storyteller for me, and even finds a theater troupe outside. Brother Qiang is a righteous man. of!"

Jia Qiang laughed and said: "Except for Baoyu, this guy is not only a friend, but also a relative of the Jia family. After I became the patriarch, the clan rules are strict. Although he has been lenient for many times, he is still bound. But tonight Not to mention other things, just talking about friendship. It is estimated that the next few years will become more and more busy, and there will be fewer and fewer opportunities like this, but I will strive to be a host a few times a year and get together. Come, come, tonight If you don't get drunk, you won't return!"

Although it sounded a little sad, Xue Pan slapped the table and said loudly: "Well said, whoever is not drunk tonight will be the grandson! Do it!"

After the five of them drank together, Jia Qiang raised his glass to Liu Xianglian and said, "Erlang, I won't say thank you, I'll just drink it."

As expected, Liu Xianglian liked this style very much, he laughed a few times, then poured wine and toasted, and drank it down with Jia Qiang.

After drinking, everyone hurriedly asked what was going on. After Jia Qiang said it again, Xue Pan was also full of admiration, and raised his glass and said: "It's amazing, for a one-sided relationship, I can risk my life to save it. My old man Xue convinced you!"

After clinking glasses with him, Liu Xianglian drank it all in one gulp, and said with a smile, "Since he is from Marquis Ning..."

Jia Qiang waved her hand and said, "We still use the old address, Ninghou is called by outsiders."

Liu Xianglian is also free and easy, and said with a smile: "Okay! It's not as happy as Wenlong, let everyone laugh!" And said: "I met Ni Er in the Qianggeer Guild that day, and I knew he was from Qianggeer, so I met him. How could he not be rescued when he was in danger? How dare he not be rescued? If he was not rescued, how could he be worthy of a righteous word in the future?"

Jia Qiang made a "tsk" sound, and said: "Nowadays is not the past, people's hearts are not old, and the world is declining. Some people, not to mention friends, even their own father and siblings have no idea of ​​life and death, let alone A friend's subordinate? Liu Erlang's righteousness, I deeply respect him!"

Liu Xianglian said sternly: "Don't say thank you, there is no need to say this kind of thing, it's too much heresy. Besides, Brother Qiang, forgive me, the one you should thank the most is actually Ni Er. He is a filial son, and He loves his daughter very much, but his mother, daughter-in-law and daughter were arrested by the gangsters, and the gangsters even hurt his daughter. Ni Er still hasn't betrayed you. Only because of this, he deserves a righteous word. Don't let him down he."

Jia Qiang waved her hand and said, "Erlang still needs to say this? But I didn't give him money directly, that would be humiliating him."

Liu Xianglian hurriedly said: "It is for this reason, it is really wrong for such a person to give gold and silver."

Jia Qiang said with a smile: "Although I don't give money directly, I can guarantee that Ni Er's old mother will have someone to depend on, and she will be able to die in retirement without any worries. Ni Er's wife doesn't have to worry about the hardships of life. Her daughter , the same treatment as the daughter of the Jia family, I specially found a teacher, taught her to read and learn etiquette, recognized her as a goddaughter, and I will handle the marriage in the future. As for Ni Er, I will naturally entrust her to her.

On Ni Er's side, I will do my best to commend him for his contribution.But Erlang here, not only can't give me anything in return, but I have to ask you for help..."

Liu Xianglian laughed loudly and said: "Brother Qiang, brother Qiang, don't do this! If you come to send me officials and money under the guise of asking for my help, then you're thinking about it! I'm used to Walking around, the world is home, I appreciate your kindness!"

Chapter 678 Xue Pan: Brother Qiang, my sister has you in her heart...

"Really go to sea?"

Liu Xianglian obviously didn't expect that Jia Qiang would repay him like this.

Jia Qiang nodded and smiled and said, "Don't you want to make your home around the world and go shopping? I will help you! The nearby Fusang, Korea, Siam, Annan, Tianzhu, and the western countries in the future, thousands of miles away, you can go anywhere. go!"

At the side, Jiang Yuhan let out a "huh" and said, "Isn't Tianzhu already a hundred and eight thousand miles away? How come it's close?"

Jia Qiang shook her head and said, "Tianzhu is now called the Mughal Empire, and it is right next to our Great Swallow. Western countries, those red-haired countries and golden-haired countries, are far away. Sea boats have to travel three or four times. Erlang, I am not provoking you, this is indeed an errand, and it is very dangerous, not an ordinary danger. If you are riding a horse, you can escape for your life if you encounter danger. But on the sea, if there is a storm, as long as If you fall into the water, you will freeze to death if you don’t need a stick of incense, no matter how good your skills are. Of course, as long as you know the rules of going to sea and recognize the sky, you will be fine.”

Xue Panqi said: "Brother Qiang, even if you are fine, there is always an emergency. What are you sending the fleet to the barbarian land in the West?"

Jia Qiang shook her head and said, "Western ghosts roam around the world in sea boats, burning, killing, and looting. They have firearms and cannons on board! After all, I have a part-time job in the imperial court. I'm in my position and planning for my government. I can't wait. The ghosts have killed at the gate of Dayan, and we still don't know what happened to them."

Jiang Yuhan was shocked: "They burned, killed, looted, and killed people casually?"

Jia Qiang said: "When we look at those people, we see them as blond hair and blue eyes, or red hair and blue eyes. They look like ghosts but not human beings, and they are regarded as barbarians. In fact, they see us in the same way, no, it should be said to be worse. They call us the yellow race. People, they think of themselves as Caucasians. In their eyes, Caucasians are the most noble race. Besides, other colored people, such as yellow races, such as blacks? All are inferior people, even Animals can be slaughtered at will.

They drive sea boats?Capture black people from some poor and declining places?Packed in cages like animals, transported back to Europa, and then domesticated blacks into slaves.Black people in cages are more likely to get sick?Once infected with a serious disease?They don't know how to feed medicine at all, and throw it directly into the sea.Out of a hundred, it is a blessing to be able to survive twenty.

Now those ghosts are just wandering around Dayan?But once Dayan declines and a war breaks out, those ghosts wandering around Dayan?Will definitely pounce!How do they treat those black people?How will we treat our people, or even worse?More vicious! "

The pain of the Chinese workers in the previous life?It's almost impossible to look at...

Liu Xianglian looked at Jia Qiang?Shen Sheng said: "Brother Qiang, what do you want to do?"

Jia Qiang said: "Don't be in a hurry to become enemies with them, but even be friends with them first, do business with them, and learn from them that they can be invincible across the world...Although animals are evil, they are capable But it is good. It is necessary to learn from the barbarians to control the barbarians. We must not be arrogant. Our immediate goal is to protect the country and go out to see how they fight. Go to sea with merchant ships, But I lack a person with high skill and most importantly, reliable character to help me. Although this job is in the name of business, it is not as simple as self-interest, and it is more related to the fate of the court and even the nation! So , I really need you, Erlang, to help me!"

After hearing this, Liu Xianglian looked at Jia Qiang for a long while, then suddenly laughed, and couldn't control it, the laughter was loud, and in the end, even the tears came out of the corners of her eyes.

Baoyu wanted to go forward to persuade him, but was blocked by Liu Xianglian. After laughing, he directly picked up a wine jar on the side, unplugged it, raised his head and drank.

Jia Qiang watched from the side, feeling a little envious.

Although he was superior to Liu Xianglian in terms of appearance, but he couldn't match this chic and unrestrained demeanor.

There are too many worries on him, which is incomparable to the lonely Leng Langjun.

After drinking, Liu Xianglian said with a smile to everyone: "I, Liu Xianglian, was originally from a family! It's just that I didn't like reading when I was young, so I had to wield knives and guns, which disappointed my parents. When my parents were there, they often taught me , a man in this world, if he has the ambition to help the world and the people and help the country, how can he survive? However, when my parents passed away, they both left with regret. After my parents passed away, I sold my family business and house, and I have slept in flowers since then Willow, roaming the rivers and lakes. Once filial piety has been lost, I dare not be wronged again. I thought that one day will pass, and only one day will be buried in the green hills! I don’t want to, I don’t want to hear about it today, but I have to do something, which is related to the court and peace The destiny of the nation! Hahaha!"

Jia Qiang said softly, "If Erlang doesn't want to, don't force him."

"Why don't you want to?"

Liu Xianglian lamented and said, "Why would I want to be an unfilial person? If I can use this body and this sword to comfort the spirit of my parents in heaven, I will not be that unfilial person who has neither father nor mother!"

Qi Guan persuaded each other in a warm voice, while Baoyu suddenly got drunk and said, "Xianglian, take me, let's go together!"

Liu Xianglian stopped crying instantly...
