Snow Chihiro

================

When I wake up early in the morning, the people around me are long gone.Xue Ji propped herself up and sat up, her body was still in great pain, but even if no one was around, she only frowned slightly.She wasn't so delicate in the first place, otherwise she would have died long ago.As soon as there was a noise from here, the little girl outside pushed the door and came in. Seeing the joy in her eyebrows and eyes, Xue Ji knew that she had benefited a lot.

"Miss, do you want to wash up and eat?"

Xue Ji looked out the door, "Didn't Que'er come?" Que'er is her personal servant girl, she is only 14 years old but she has been by her side for three years. Do not let her accompany.

"Que'er was called by my mother to give instructions. My mother asked me to wait here first, and I will call her back later."

Xue Ji nodded, and not long after washing, Que'er came back holding a few porcelain vases, her face was full of joy and sadness, and her small face was tangled up.Seeing her expression, Xue Ji felt amused, "Are you back? Let's go back upstairs?"

"Ah?" Que'er was a little dazed, and waved her hands when she heard the words, "There's no need to change, Mr. Dongfang has kept this yard for three months." She stuck out her tongue and said with a smile: "Mr. Dongfang is handsome and has a heart. , gave me excellent wound medicine for the young lady to recuperate." She said, shaking the small porcelain bottle in her hand like offering a treasure, and took out a small bag in her bosom.Xue Ji reached out to take it, and saw a few hundred taels of silver bills and a very simple hair tie inside.She gave Que'er a strange look, and then heard her say: "Young master asked Que'er to tell the young lady that the young lady is graceful and graceful, but she is restrained. If it is simple and arrogant, it will show her true colors even more."

Xue Ji laughed lightly when she heard this, her eyes were flickering, she casually put the hair tie aside, put away the bank notes, and lay down on the couch again. "Prescribe me medicine."

"Sun Moon God Religion, for thousands of generations, the supreme martial arts, unifying the rivers and lakes."

There are two chairs in the center of the lobby, but Dongfang Li is the one sitting slightly to the side. The largest carved mahogany chair in the middle is always vacant all year round. Only the leader of the divine religion is eligible to sit on it.He lowered his head to sip his tea, the corners of his eyes didn't turn away, and he still looked up with that half-smile expression.

Zhao Chengyao, who was bowing down in the hall, was even more nervous. He had heard that the right envoy was decisive, and he didn't dare to underestimate three points just because of his young face. "The Nujiao Gang is based on the two rivers, and the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas are not small. Its headquarters is on an island in the middle of the river, and it has some collusion with the government."

Dongfang Li nodded, since he can intervene in water transportation, it is naturally indispensable.It's not a problem for the imperial court, just borrow Jin Yiwei's strength.At this time, Hongzhi Zhongxing was in full swing, Jinyiwei was not suppressed by the eunuch party, and the commander Mou Bin made a lot of achievements in integrity. If it is proved that the Nujiao gang colluded with the government to disrupt the water transportation, the official affairs should not be taken seriously.She tapped on the table lightly, but Jianghu is a matter of Jianghu, this is the consistent purpose of the court, and it is also the reason why Jin Yiwei sent her to the Sun Moon God Sect.Heroes are forbidden by martial arts, but it is difficult to punish them all. Only by letting them kill each other in the rivers and lakes can the stability of the country be preserved.The foreign race in the previous dynasty didn't know this truth, so they let the Mingjiao family grow up and replace them.

"Zhao Ruozhu got up first and talked about the cause and effect of this matter."

Hearing these words, Zhao Chengyao felt relieved, saluted and sat aside, and talked.

There are three major gangs in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang districts, all relying on the waters of the river. Among them, the two rivers are connected with fishing boats. They are the most innocent and are loved by the people around the two rivers. There are both masters and ordinary people in their gangs. , rather like the "association" of later generations.The other Fanyun gang has occupied many docks, although there are many domineering actions, they are still in some industries.But the Nujiao Gang is an out-and-out "□□", colluding with the government, dominating the water transport, and the ships always pay [-]% of the tribute regardless of travel and delivery.

And this time the incident was really not caused by the Sun Moon God Sect. The Sun Moon God Sect is relatively weak in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Although it has developed for more than ten years, its foundation is not deep. How could it be against the most domineering Nujiao Gang?It turned out that the Nujiao Gang not only "collected protection money", but also had some people in the gang doing kidnapping, and this kidnapping happened to kidnap the daughter of a brother in the sect.When Zhao Chengyao found out, he naturally took someone to seek justice. Shen Rufeng didn't want to offend this sect that was flourishing in the north, but unexpectedly, the girl had been tortured to death by Shen Ao.Of course, it is impossible for him to hand over his eldest son. Although the Sun Moon God Sect rose suddenly after several years of silence, it is in the north after all, and Jiangsu and Zhejiang are their own world. How could he be subdued here?

There was a conflict at this moment, the two sides fought at that time, the Nujiao gang had a lot of people, and they had the upper hand in the fight, but they didn't take advantage of the victory to pursue, they didn't want to make the matter too big, and Zhao Chengyao also reported the matter.

Dongfang Li lowered his head and played with the teacup in his hand. The celadon wintersweet was very charming. He raised his eyes and looked around, and saw that the eyes of all the people at the helm of Yangzhou in the room were red.It is possible to share the same hatred with the enemy. If you are really convinced, it will chill people's hearts, but you still have to do it.She put down the glass and made a soft crisp sound, which caught her attention. "The leader can't bear the hard work of the brothers, but hopes that this matter can be resolved peacefully." Before she finished speaking, there was a click on the other side, and a young man broke the handrail in anger. Zhao Chengyao was startled and jumped to the place. Behind the young man, he lifted him up and kicked him heavily, causing him to kneel down on the ground. "The right envoy, he is young and energetic, I hope the right envoy will not blame him."

The young man didn't appreciate it, his lips were white with pain but he was kneeling upright, his eyes were looking at Dongfang Li with great difficulty. "People in the rivers and lakes repay grievances with straightness. How can they repay grievances with virtue?"

His words spoke out the hearts of the people in the hall, and he knelt down on the ground, "Please let the right envoy be the master!"

Dongfang Li didn't speak, just glanced around, "Master Zhao stay here," pointing to the young man, "You stay too. The others should leave first."

It was agreed to go to Nujiao Gang to investigate the situation tomorrow, so she took Xiong Ju to Zayue Tower again. Feng Yong and others estimated that it would take three or four days to arrive. Naturally, this "confidante girl" is also included.As soon as he entered the courtyard, Xiong Ju hurriedly went to find those old friends. Dongfang Li had clear eyes and ears, and heard the soft sound of roof tiles saying that the follower had already found a good location. He smiled and pushed open the door.

As expected, Xue Ji was in the room, she took the book sideways, and lay lazily on the side of the bed, her hair was untied, she pursed her lips lightly, she put away her obsequious attitude, which was a bit out of the ordinary, her eyes were focused on the lines written between.The women in ancient brothels, especially the oiran red card, were mostly knowledgeable and skilled, but they were better than many ladies.Dongfang Li is not surprised that she is literate, but she is interested in the books in her hands. Ordinary women usually read novels, but this woman is lucky.

She walked over slowly, without making a sound, but after all, the shadow blocked the light, which brought the serious woman back to her senses, and suddenly raised her head.

"Young master." The corners of his eyebrows were raised, his eyes were full of affection, his thin lips were slightly parted, and he seemed to be surprised or happy.Dongfang Li couldn't help but want to applaud. This woman would be a hit when she was an actress back in her time.She leaned over and kissed the snow-white forehead lightly. She still had the fragrance of lilies on her body, but it was much lighter, as if it was lingering gently around her.

"Is it better?"

"The medicine given by the young master is very effective. The servant girl was annoyed that he didn't thank the young master properly, so the young master came." Xue Ji said as she thought of getting up to pour tea for her, but she grabbed her hand. It's a wound, it doesn't hurt, just lie down and lie down." Dongfang Li said as he took away the book next to the pillow and let her lie flat on the bed, her every move was extremely gentle, letting Xue Ji who was in it Also very confused, if it is said that she really likes herself, women are the most sensitive, there is no obsession in her eyebrows or eyes; It's good enough; if you want to use it, you have nothing to gain by being a whore; if you say... She raised her eyes to look at Dongfang Li, only to see her with her back to the sun, looking at her with soft eyes , that smile should be gentle enough to make people fall, but she sensitively found the coldness and alienation in it.This glance was like pouring a handful of cold water on her face, and it was very enlightening. The enchanting style that she was used to permeated her whole body almost instantly, and her eyes and lips were also curved. This is her weapon and her shell .

Since you want to play, then play with you, just give money.

Dongfang Li didn't know why this beauty suddenly changed her appearance again, and she didn't care. She only wanted the eyes of the person in the room to see it, and the ear under the bed to hear it, so that the people behind them knew that she liked her. She is good.A playful smile bloomed on her lips, and her fingers gently pinched her belt, "Let me see how your injury is doing?"

Xue Ji straightened up her chest generously when she heard the words, her eyes turned slightly drunk, she didn't speak, she just stared at Dongfang Li and smiled lightly, her loose hair gently brushed along with the chuckle Move, tease people's hearts are surging.

It's actually a living vixen!

Dongfang Li could only sigh like this, instead of looking at her expression, he tore open the skirt with one hand, she was not wearing anything underneath, immediately revealing her body full of scars.It's like plum blossoms blooming red on the white snow, with branches and scars, and blue and red dots. How hideous pictures can be turned into beautiful scenery when put on this woman's body.There was a light sound from the roof, showing that she couldn't hold back anymore, she raised the corner of her mouth and pulled the clothes up again, yelling: "Who is it?" She walked out the window, leaving only an afterimage.

Xue Ji looked at the window that had been knocked open in surprise, she didn't expect that this gentle and gentle young master still had good kung fu, but she didn't know that the person just now was his enemy or something.She bowed her head and fastened her belt unhurriedly, and a big man pushed the door open and barged in. "Young Master!" Xiong Ju came over after hearing the sound, but instead of seeing Dongfang Li, he saw the goblin, his eyes were instantly filled with that glamorous color, and he was stunned for a moment.

When Xue Ji heard his call, she eagerly knew that it was the young master. She got out of bed and saluted. Seeing Xiong Ju looking straight at her, she swayed her body coquettishly, walked to the table and poured a cup of tea. To see what you should be like.She doesn't like Shen Ao's tyranny, nor Dongfang Lizang's cold gentleness, she only loves this kind of obsession, an obsession that she can control. "Mr. Shicai jumped out of the window and chased someone. You may as well sit down and drink a cup of tea." Seeing that Xiong Ju was still standing there, his eyes were full of charm, and he picked up the cup and carefully delivered it to him. He said, "Master, don't you want to drink?"

"I'll drink." The cup seemed to be taken by a gust of wind, and when she realized that her hand was empty, Dongfang Li was sitting at the table, drinking the cup of tea lightly, looking at the two of them with displeasure.Xiong Ju came back to his senses in an instant, and when he saw her plop, he knelt down, which startled Xue Ji.Dongfang Li beckoned her to come over and hugged her in his arms, "There will be no next time."

"Yes, this subordinate understands." Xiong Ju nodded hastily. This is not the first time he has seen Dongfang Li like this. In the past, few people could escape her expression. She turned around and hurried out, only to be hit by the wind. Shocked, it turned out that he was already in a cold sweat.It was the first time I saw Dongfang Li value a woman so much. Fortunately, she still cared about her brotherly love...Xiong Ju felt his whole body warm up when he thought of the woman's obsession, so he slapped himself hard before looking for the old bustard to find a woman went.

"Young master scared the servant girl." Xue Ji in the room hugged Dongfang Li's neck, put it close to her face, and put it close to her ear carefully. The house is seventy percent cold.However, Dongfang Li had a good temper towards her, let her writhe like a snake in his arms, narrowed his eyes as if enjoying himself, and patted her on the back, "Don't be afraid."

Why did Xue Ji have a scared expression?Seeing that she didn't blame her, she became a little curious. All men have possessive desires, and this man is no exception. It's just that he lost his temper directly at his subordinates, so he doesn't blame himself as the chief culprit.For some reason, she felt a sense of powerlessness towards Dongfang Li that she had never felt before.She doesn't know what she wants, and this feeling of being out of her control makes her feel very helpless, even if she hasn't hurt herself, even if there is always a sincere fake tenderness on that face.

Shuri, Zhao Chengyao waited at the courtyard early, accompanied by the young man named Gao Xu.This time, Xue Ji got up early, and Dongfang Li changed her clothes and washed her clothes very thoughtfully, and presented her with a perfect smile and a light kiss early in the morning.The service of this hotel can be rated as seven stars, Dongfang Li silently commented, and he did not waste the accommodation fee of 3 to [-] yuan per day.From time to time, she will intentionally use the things of that world to evaluate this world, otherwise she is really afraid that she will treat the twenty-odd years at the other end as a big dream.

"Your envoy." Zhao Chengyao saluted.

Dongfang Li nodded, "How are you preparing?"

"Shen Rufeng asked us to meet on Zhulang Island." He frowned as he said, Zhulang Island is the residence of the Nujiao Gang, if the other party has malicious intentions, even if this right envoy is superb in martial arts, he might be stuck there.

"Then let's go." Dongfang Li said plainly, knowing that they must have prepared the boat, and looked at Gao Xu.The young man was very clever, and turned around to lead the way.What Shen Rufeng did was to test his courage and sincerity. Perhaps Shen Ao would cause some stumbling blocks, but he didn't dare to make it obvious to him. It's true that a strong dragon does not overwhelm a local snake, and I don't see any local snake who dares to fight with his life. Dragon's.Thinking of the man in black who followed him yesterday, the future is predictable, but he feels a little regretful.It's a pity, that brave woman under the scarlet brocade.

The weather is fine, sunny and windy.Shen Rufeng seemed to be in the same mood, and he took his three sons to greet him with dignity.Shen Ao was dressed in fancy attire with a smile all over his face, as if he wasn't the one who threw the cup in anger at the Yueyue Tower that day. He was greeted and praised, but the other two Shen family sons were very mediocre, and he couldn't blame Shen Rufeng for choosing this one who obviously had a lot of flaws. people as heirs.

Dongfang Li looked around this small island, although it is not big, it can accommodate 800 people, more than half of the Nujiao Gang live here, as long as they take it here, everything will be fine.

"It's a great honor for Shen to come to our gang, the right envoy of the East, please hurry up."

Dongfang Li also cupped his hands at him, said a few words modestly, and followed him into the lobby.He was polite, lively, full of wine and food, and finally when it was time to talk about serious business, Dongfang Li was not polite, and said bluntly: "Dongfang came to Yangzhou for two things at the order of the leader." She stretched out her finger, emphasizing own tone. "One is to resolve disputes, and the other is to talk about cooperation."

Shen Rufeng showed embarrassment, "Shen is definitely not disrespectful to the right envoy, but it is really difficult to meet the request of the Gui Gang for one life for another. If the right envoy is willing, Shen is willing to comfort the brothers of the Gui Gang with ten thousand taels of silver. But this Regarding the matter of cooperation, please advise me." He was relieved when he heard that Dongfang Li intended to cooperate, the Angry Jiao Gang acted domineeringly, and secretly disagreed with the other two gangs. The other two gangs were really hard to deal with.

Dongfang Li shook his head, smiled and stretched out a finger.

Shen Rufeng gritted her teeth, 10 taels is already the income of the Nujiao Gang for a year, and she really opened her mouth like a lion. "Fifty thousand." Seeing that Dongfang Li's expression remained unchanged, he added, "The ships of the Sun Moon God Sect can enter and leave Jiangsu and Zhejiang freely in the future."

Only then did Dongfang Li withdraw his hand, but Gao Xu behind him couldn't help but want to say something, and was grabbed by Cheng Yao again.

"Then what about cooperation?" Shen Rufeng asked.

"I am very interested in the piers in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and I think Lord Shen is no exception."

Shen Rufeng's eyes lit up, and he laughed loudly.

"Why?" Gao Xu couldn't help asking on the way back.It is rare for Dongfang Li to be silent, and she wants to use his mouth to prove that she is not only doing it for personal gain. "The time has not come."

What he said was vague, it seemed like it was just a distant promise, but Gao Xu didn't feel at ease.

"Make arrangements, I want to meet the heads of Liangjiang and Fanyun."

"The head teacher will arrive in a few days and arrange for them to live outside the city."

"Pick out some brothers with good water skills."

A series of instructions are obviously preparing for something.

"But the government..." Zhao Chengyao frowned.Gao Xu was really excited, and bowed heavily, "This subordinate takes orders!"

Dongfang Li ignored the two of them, and turned his head to look at the rolling river. Last night Jin Yiwei had given Zhunxin, and he was [-]% sure of the other two parties. Whether this battle can be fought perfectly depends on...Shen Ao, you Don't let me down.
