Chapter 277: Peace of mind
The wind and rain were blowing, the sky above Bahu Lake, dark clouds rolling, the terrible thunder snake lightning was chaotic, and the sky and earth were uncertain.
In a cave under the cliff of the Bahu Dam, Hu Sanniang and Hu Lingtang glared at Lei Shaoxuan angrily.
Lei Shaoxuan turned a blind eye to their gaze, looked at Xiaoqing and smiled: "Xiaoqing, do you hate your brother?"
Xiao Qing opened her big bright eyes, hesitated for a moment, and shook her head.
Lei Shaoxuan nodded, grabbed Xiaoqing's delicate hand, and said softly, "Hold back the pain!"
As he spoke, a stream of spiritual power instantly penetrated into Xiaoqing's palm.
Xiao Qing felt a red-hot steel needle, which quickly ran along his arm, burning his whole body, his body flowing like magma, and everywhere he went, his flesh and blood boiled.
Xiaoqing was convulsed in pain, her face was pale, and beads of sweat the size of beans dripped from her forehead, but her whole body was restrained by Lei Shaoxuan and she couldn't move.
"Open up the meridians!" Hu Sanniang was secretly shocked and distressed.
"Hmph!" Hu Lingxuan snorted, feeling a little more comfortable in his heart, and his hatred for Lei Shaoxuan decreased slightly.
After a while, Xiao Qing felt that his body was empty, a cool breath enveloped him, the pain all over his body was swept away, and his weak body was full of strength Lei Shaoxuan used spiritual power to wash Xiao Qing's whole body.
"Thank you, brother!" Xiaoqing's face was ruddy, and she felt very relaxed.
Lei Shaoxuan breathed a sigh of relief.
As soon as Xiaoqing's meridians are connected, when the internal strength is successful, he can barely withstand the impact of the shattered sword intent.
The internal force is the pinnacle of martial arts in the mortal world, although Xiaoqing is still far away from that step, but the meridians are opened, as if the road has been paved, and the rest is just to practice diligently.
A warrior is like a carp crossing the river, and those who can open up the meridians are the top masters, and there is no one in ten thousand. Helping Xiaoqing open up the meridians, such as giving Xiaoqing a ladder to the sky, but unfortunately Xiaoqing has no spiritual roots and cannot practice, and he can only become a master of mortal martial arts in this life.
Opening up the meridians is undoubtedly a dream of mortals, Hu Sanniang was silent for a while, and she couldn't hate Lei Shaoxuan anymore.
Lei Shaoxuan nodded, came to Hu Lingtang, looked at Hu Lingtang's delicate and fair face, smelled the faint body fragrance emanating from Hu Lingtang's body, and couldn't help but feel a little impulsive in his heart, and his eyes burned for a while.
Looking at Lei Shaoxuan's burning gaze, Hu Lingxuan was looking forward to it and a little annoyed, with some panic, and he was at a loss for a while.
"What are you going to do? I don't want you to open the meridians for me, you are not allowed to touch me. Hu Lingtang said with a red face, his heart pounding.
Lei Shaoxuan didn't seem to hear it, his body blocked Hu Sanniang's sight, and his hand poked into Hu Lingtang's chest.
Hu Lingtang's face was flushed with shame in an instant, but Hu Sanniang and Xiaoqing were there, where did they dare to scold?
"You, you...... Bastard!" Hu Lingtang gasped, only to feel his body go limp.
Lei Shaoxuan touched it mischievously, there was a soft ** feeling in the palm of his hand, and he muttered in his mouth: "Don't move, it's not a joke to get the wrong acupuncture points, it's paralyzed at best, and you're worried about your life......
Hu Lingtang almost exploded his lungs, and just as he was about to attack, suddenly a hot current penetrated from the Jizhong acupoint, like a raging fire, like a torrent, and quickly spread throughout the body.
Hu Lingtang only felt that his body sometimes turned into molten iron and boiled, sometimes turned into blue ice and froze, his skin and flesh were torn, his bones were shattered, his heart was torn apart, his heart was like a tearing heart, his brain was blank for a while, his face was pale, and cold sweat was dripping.
Hu Lingtang knew that Lei Shaoxuan was cutting his hair and washing the marrow, and the shame in his heart disappeared, he only felt sweet, his mind was blank, although his body was in severe pain, his heart was extremely relieved and sweet.
Just as I was indulging, I suddenly felt a foul smell.
The dirt in the body that has accumulated for countless years exudes the smell of decay and the smell is unpleasant.
"It stinks!" Xiaoqing couldn't help but exclaim.
"It's okay, your aunt has eaten too much, and she can't help ......" Lei Shaoxuan held back his anger and said with a smile.
"Are you saying that Auntie is here, and she can't help but pull ......?" Xiaoqing said with a wink.
When Hu Lingtang heard this, he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to drill down, and shouted: "Xiaoqing, what nonsense?"
Lei Shaoxuan couldn't help laughing.
With a wave of his hand, a stream of aura washed Hu Lingtang, and the air was immediately clear, and he untied the rope on Hu Lingtang's body, but was slapped in the face by Hu Lingtang.
"Hooligans, bastards, you know how to bully me!" Hu Lingtang covered his face and cried.
Lei Shaoxuan felt quite bored in his heart, and untied the ropes on Xiaoqing and Hu Sanniang one by one.
"The Bahu Dam has been destroyed, so let's go. ”
"Do you know how many lives will be destroyed downstream once the dam collapses, why do you do such a vicious thing?" Hu Lingtang wiped his tears and looked straight at Lei Shaoxuan, his beautiful face showing pain.
Looking at Hu Lingtang, Lei Shaoxuan pondered for a moment and said: "The Northern Wei Dynasty's southern expedition is a national policy, which cannot be changed, and the unification of South Vietnam is a foregone conclusion." It is difficult to measure the gains and losses of dam failure in this regard, as it can quickly break the fighting spirit of South Vietnam, prevent the war from prolonging for too long, and greatly reduce civilian casualties. ”
Lei Shaoxuan said helplessly: "The flood will inevitably displace the people and have no livelihood, but the sword soldiers will cause the people to be killed or injured, so the dam collapse looks and sounds a little frustrated, but it is not necessarily the worst choice." To blame, only blame this turbid world and turmoil. ”
Lei Shaoxuan was a little disheartened, and waved his hand: "Sanniang, let's go, go far." Don't try to stop us anymore, military law is ruthless, if you attack again, we can only kill you. ”
Hu Sanniang sighed, "You sent Xiaoqing a peace charm, saying that you want peace of mind, but in fact, you are asking for peace of mind because of the destruction of the dam and the destruction of my home?"
Lei Shaoxuan said with a look of shame: "Yes! That's all I can do for you." ”
Hu Sanniang nodded, "I'm a woman and don't understand military affairs, but I still advise you to kill less." People are doing it, the sky is watching, no matter how high-sounding the reason is, it can't erase the fact of killing. If you kill too much, you will be damned!"
Hu Lingtang looked at Lei Shaoxuan with a complicated expression, his eyes flashed, and he said softly: "Do you have to be this official? If the dam collapses, you will be scolded by the people of the world, and it will be stinking for 10,000 years, why don't you resign from the office?"
Lei Shaoxuan couldn't laugh or cry.
Official, you can resign with words? Not to mention that Lei Shaoxuan led the lone army to go deeper, let alone talk about this matter.
"How good it is to be an official! Get promoted and make a fortune, gold and silver beauties, hug left and right. Lei Shaoxuan stretched out his hand to support Hu Lingtang's round chin, looking fascinated, "Beauty, come with me, eat fragrant, drink spicy, and give birth to a lot of little cubs." ”
Hu Lingtang's face instantly turned red like an apple, and he stomped his feet angrily and said, "You bastard, go die!"
The figures of the three gradually walked away, slowly blurred, and finally disappeared into the wind and rain. Far away, Lei Shaoxuan could still see Hu Lingtang secretly looking back at him from time to time, with tears on his face.
Lei Shaoxuan smiled bitterly in his heart, feeling apologetic in his heart, and hated himself a little, since he couldn't give Hu Lingtang anything, why bother to tease Hu Lingtang, carve himself in Hu Lingtang's heart, causing trouble in vain, it is nothing less than hooliganism.
Suddenly, I vaguely understood in my heart that the dam collapse was too big, and no one could face it calmly, and I couldn't let go of it, and I was actually a little nervous and out of control, so I couldn't help but tease Hu Lingtang to relieve it.
Nanyue Kingdom, Liu Fu.
In the garden outside the study, a begonia plant is flourishing.
At the beginning of the sunny day after the rain, there are a little water droplets on the leaves, the drops of water are pure and crystalline, reflecting the rays of sunlight, trembling in the breeze, flashing bright and warm colors, making the whole tree full of vitality, and the small courtyard is filled with coolness.
In the courtyard, there is an antique mahogany table, on which two cups of tea are brewed, the tea fragrance is curling, refreshing people's lungs.
A thin old man, with a worried face, said to Shen Xiaobao: "Shen Dongjia, Yuetong Grain Bank buys a large amount of old grain, and the warehouse is almost full, and now the new grain is about to be harvested and marketed in July, will these old grains be smashed in your hands?"
The slightly chubby Shen Xiaobao grinned and said: "Liu Lao has 20% of the shares of Yuetong, and he is also a major shareholder, so it is too good to call me the owner, just call Xiao Shen." ”
Shen Xiaobao shook his fan and said disapprerovingly: "The ships of the distant merchant groups reach the world, what is this bit of grain? As long as it is grain, not a single grain will be spared. ”
Liu Lao frowned slightly and said: "Other grain stores are emptying their stocks to prepare for new grain, but we are buying old grain on a large scale at any cost, so that the price of grain has been raised by us by two percent." Nowadays, our Yuetong grain bank has monopolized most of the old grain in China. Xiao Shen, while collecting grain at a high price, you don't agree to sell grain at a higher price, it's almost a loss-making transaction, you must not follow in my footsteps and let Yuetong Grain Bank go bankrupt again and fall into the hands of others. ”
Liu Lao is Liu Wensheng, the former owner of Yuetong Grain Bank, and Liu Wensheng's son is Liu Hong, the Langzhong of the Household Grain Branch.
The largest grain bank in South Vietnam, the largest grain bank in South Vietnam, can have such a scale, and Liu Hong's position is naturally inseparable, however, in the business field, the survival of the commercial bank still depends on the means and strength of management.
The rice grain business has always relied on small profits but quick turnover, Liu Wensheng was hot-headed for a while, hoarded too much grain, and as a result, he suffered a bumper harvest of grain, and finally Yuetong Grain Bank suffered serious losses, so it was bought by Shen Xiaobao's distant merchant group.
However, Shen Xiaobao still retained 20% of the shares of Yuetong Grain Bank to Liu Wensheng, and gave Liu Wensheng half of the shares of the distant business group, which is much more valuable than Yuetong Grain Bank, Liu Wensheng is very grateful, and he has shares, so he naturally treats Shen Xiaobao as his own.
Shen Xiaobao moved his fat body close to Liu Wensheng and whispered: "Liu Lao, according to reliable information, the Nalan granary and the Pingjiang granary were captured by the Taiping army, and all the grain in the granary was destroyed.
When Liu Wensheng heard this, his eyes immediately widened, his sallow face turned red instantly, and he exclaimed, "Is this serious?"
Shen Xiaobao picked up the teacup and said unhurriedly: "The distant business group has reached the world, and the news is well-informed, this matter has been confirmed, and the news has not spread yet, but it can't be hidden for long." ”
"Hurry up and transport all the grain away!" Liu Wensheng reacted, "The two granaries are both military warehouses, and we need to replenish grain immediately, and now the surplus grain in the country is in our hands, if we want to replenish food, we will inevitably be requisitioned from us in the name of military management, and we will lose money at that time." ”
"The grain has long been shipped away. Shen Xiaobao smiled proudly.
Shen Xiaobao squinted his eyes, looked straight at Liu Wensheng, and suddenly asked, "This matter is a big opportunity, is Liu Lao just staring at this bit of food?"
"How do you say that?" Liu Wensheng wondered.
"Although the Yuetong grain store is large, it only accounts for at most 30% of the domestic grain, and there are five large grain stores operating grain, doesn't Liu Lao want to monopolize the grain of South Vietnam and become the world's first grain merchant?"
Liu Wensheng shook his head with a wry smile and said, "The other five grain merchants all have backgrounds, either relatives of the emperor or wealthy and powerful people, I work hard, and I can only be the first in China." As a member of the household department, he has some real power, but after all, he is humble and can only give some convenience, and many joints cannot be relied on, otherwise I will not go bankrupt. ”
"I have a plan to make those grain stores suffer a big loss, and it is even possible that we can take one or two of them. Shen Xiaobao smiled, "But it needs Ling Lang's cooperation, and it may also need some convenience from your in-laws." ”
Hearing this, Liu Wensheng's eyes widened, and his in-laws were none other than Guo Xin, the squire of the South Vietnamese Military Department.
