Chapter 22 The Wealth of the Country
Compared with the four seasons of Changchun's Qiaoke Street, the winter of Shanhai City is very cold, no, there is a heavy snow near the winter solstice, this seems to be the first snow of the year, people say, Ruixue is a mega year, but in the face of the scorched earth and the kingdom of the sky, such a good year is simply a luxury (chapter 22 of the legend of the world).

With the first heavy snowfall, the real Nie Huan also came to the city of mountains and seas, if it was still in the past, this heavy snow could kill him Nie Huan. Thanks to Li Qi's help, Nie Huan's illness was considered to be very well, so he led a small group of Nie Qianwu's men and horses back to the sea of his dreams. Since then, the people of Canghai Town have never seen Nie Huan, but the villagers who went out to sea to fish saw Nie Huan who was still walking on the ground in the stormy sea, saw him catch the huge sea, rescued the trapped fishermen, and even asked his subordinates to prompt the news of the typhoon.
"Dad, hey, you're just in time to find you?" Compared with Nie Qianwu, who deliberately pretended to be lukewarm when he met in the past, his daughter was very abnormal today, which made Nie Qian wonder if his daughter had something to ask for.
"Y-what the hell are you going to do?" Nie Huan then asked.
"you, you came to doubt me again, I didn't ask you to do anything, it's just that Li Qi is here, I have something to ask Kong Fang, since you are here, I can find a reason to get everyone together." Nie Qian glanced at Nie Huan blankly and hit it hard with her elbow.
"It just so happened that I brought seafood!" Nie Huan then said proudly.
"Steal the old wine from the two altars of Shuraβ" Nie Qianwu said, her eyebrows fluttering.
"Look. Your daddy, I still know you very well andβ" Nie Huan said, putting his arm on his daughter's shoulder.
"It's a good idea!"
Li Qi originally thought that she was only meeting Nie Huan's father and daughter alone, but there, she saw a person she didn't want to see - Kong Fang.
Since the last time Kong Fang stopped Li Qi from saving Xiaojie, Li Qi has never paid attention to Shura, but he still has the mission of protecting Shura, even if he is reluctant, he can only protect it secretly, but this still makes Li Qi resentful, and even angry at Kong Fang's death, the person he loves is still the cold-blooded and ruthless Kong Fang, which makes Li Qi very cold, and she even doubts why she likes Kong Fang like this.
For this reason, Xuejian Sorrow specially explained to Li Qi that Xiao Jie should have died young, because Kong Fang knew that Xiao Jie was destined to die in the five horses, so Kong Fang stopped Li Qi. However, such a reason could not make Li Qi forgive Kong Fang, and Li Qi did not say a word to Kong Fang until today, even if Kong Fang traveled to and from the Great Guangming Palace diligently and apologized countless times, it still made Li Qi feel like a stranger to him.
Even Li Ji didn't know why she wanted to be angry with Kong Fang for so long, even if she killed all her classmates on Chinese New Year's Eve, she didn't forget in a blink of an eye why she was angry with Kong Fang now. Li Qi was finally confused this time, and he didn't know what to say for a while?
"Li Qi, sit down!" As soon as Kong Fang saw that it was Li Qi, he got up and gave up his seat diligently.
"Go!" Li Qibai glanced at Kong Fang and said to Nie Qianwu, "I disdain to be with him!" β
"The food is good, do you want to eat it!" Nie Huan picked up the freshly grilled seafood and immediately changed the subject.
On the charcoal fire, the seafood just caught from the sea brought Nie Huan to Shanhai City in a blink of an eye, even if it was a fisherman born in the sea, he could only eat such fresh food, which couldn't help but make Li Qi, who was still nervous, salivate suddenly, and couldn't remember why he was angry for a while, so he sat down next to Nie Huan and ate it in a blink of an eye (Chapter 22 of the Legend of the World).
"Daddy, you know what? Haven't fucking eaten anything like this since I joined the military. Nie Qian said indifferently, the sound of seafood beeping made Nie Qian can't help but think of the days at sea, and now in the deep Central Plains, even Nie Huan can't come, and he can't eat such fresh food at all.
"Can you be a little bit like a girl, be so rude all day, and fuck it one bite at a time!" Beside Nie Huan, Li Qi arched to the side with wide eyes, looking at Nie Huan with a longing look on his face. A little girl's demeanor, and the daughter of the same age on the other side actually licked Erlang's legs with her mouth full of oil, where does she look like a woman, which makes Nie Huan, a father, have no sense of accomplishment at all, to be honest, he likes Li Qi's coquettishness, this is what a daughter looks like. Thinking about it this way, Nie Huan was a little envious of the day and night emperor coming, and he and his daughter have always lived noisily, perhaps, this is the life they should have, thinking of this, Nie Huan smiled.
"Why don't you dislike me!" Seeing that her father actually liked someone else's daughter, Nie Qianwu put down the food in her mouth, glared at her eyes and scolded.
"Qian Wu, I envy you so much, there is still a father who quarrels with you!" Li Qi looked at the tense father and daughter in a daze, and somehow felt it, "But I don't have a father anymore." β
"My dad is dying!" Kong Fang, who was sitting on the side, suddenly interjected coldly.
"Your father?" Li Qi looked at Kong Fang suspiciously, and suddenly realized that he laughed.
"Hey, Li Qi, who is his father?" Nie Qian asked curiously.
"You know that, guess?" Li Qi said mysteriously, just don't tell Nie Qian that there is no answer.
"Hey, Brother Kong Fang, tell me about it." Seeing that Li Qi didn't give an answer, Nie Qianwu turned to Kong Fang and asked.
"I remember that Brother Tai seems to have said that he disdains people like me?" At this time, Kong Fang still had a mask-like expression on Nie Qianwu, as if he was deliberately trying to change the topic, and said without opening the pot.
"Brother Kong Fang's intentions are already understood, but he was still angry at the time, and if he was rude, he asked Brother Kong Fang for forgiveness." mentioned the incident of the year, Nie Qianwu suddenly stood up, clasped her fists, and apologized solemnly.
"If you don't have anything to do, do you want to apologize today, or do you have something to ask for?" On the one hand, Nie Qianwu wanted to thread the needle for herself today, on the other hand, Kong Fang naturally guessed that Nie Qianwu wanted to follow Li Qi to ask for some things for herself, Kong Fang thought that Nie Qian was also smart, and this begging for herself in front of Li Qi was to make her head bigger, and in order to make Li Qi happy, she had to accept it.
"Hehehe," Nie Qian smiled embarrassedly and said, "Brother Kong Fang really understands people, in this way, I won't beat around the bush, and I will get straight to the point." β
"Let's get to the point." Kong Fang glanced at Li Qi and said.
"Let's look at the whole sky first, after Shura's reckless army, there are already countless victims, if you give relief again, it will definitely starve all over the wilderness, and the treasury is already empty, and there is no money to relieve the victims, Ji Fengping also thought of other ways a few days ago, but there is still no way, this time, please come out to relieve the relief of Brother Kong Fang." Nie Qian did not change her previous arrogance and pleaded.
"Relief for the victims? And it's the victims of the whole country?! It can be done in the next, but it also has to go to nearly thirty percent of the property in the next, which is not good for the next. Kong Fang put on a look that he didn't care about himself.
"Don't tell me that those victims are destined to die." Li Qi jumped up when he heard this.
"Sit down, sit down, isn't that any more talking? How did you beat him to death with a stick, you know he has this temper, don't you? Nie Huan quickly stood up and held down Li Qi.
"What conditions does Brother Kong Fang want, I Nie Qian can't do it, I will definitely go to the soup and fight the fire, and I will not give up!" Seeing that Kong Fang seemed to be relieved, Nie Qian was shocked and excited, and hurriedly said.
"First," Kong Fang said, putting down the food in his hand and raising a finger, "the maritime covenant will be restored, and in the future, your fleet will unconditionally ship for you, and you will only be given twenty percent of your hard-earned money." β
"It's okay to ship, but, three percent!" Nie Qianwu pondered for a while and said.
"With such a simple condition, Brother Tai has to bargain with Zaixia, and he is a businessman who doesn't want to make a loss-making deal, so let those victims drink the northwest wind." Seeing that Nie Qian did not increase the price, Kong Fang actually put on a posture that he couldn't talk about.
"Hmph-" Li Qibai glanced at Kong Fang, turned around and wanted to leave.
"Good, good, three achievements and three percent." Seeing that Li Qi ignored himself, Kong Fang hurriedly grabbed Li Qi, as if changing his face, and agreed in a blink of an eye.
Nie Qianwu laughed out loud and looked at Li Qi with a smug face.
"However, there is one more condition! In the future, if you become king in the south, all taxes in the city that have fallen into the heavens must be exempted, and the court shall not interfere in everything in the city that has fallen into the heavens. This condition sounds simple, but in fact it is simply a clause that kills people.
"Taxes are still negotiable, but the imperial court wants to ignore the three, even in the Shura period, how can such a piece of fat be put and not interfere? No way? "In the golden land of the Fallen Heaven City, if you don't eat the fat meat in your mouth, it is absolutely impossible for the court not to intervene.
"It's true that taxes are still paid now, but the city of the fallen sky is indeed three things." Kong Fang explained,
"What do you mean by that?" It seems that there are all kinds of strange things in the world, Nie Qian couldn't help asking.
"It's just because he once encountered the most painful thing in his life in Shura here, so he will get sick when people mention this place in the future, and he will never dare to face this place again for a hundred years, so he just took advantage of the situation and took advantage of a loophole." Kong Fang breathed a long sigh of relief and said flatly.
Li Qi intuitively found that the most painful thing in Shura was definitely related to Kong Fang, but now he was so lightly brushed aside, Li Qi knew that Kong Fang didn't want to mention it, so he didn't ask more, she just knew that the former Feng Wu Yuedian seemed to have died in the Fallen Heaven City back then.
Just as Li Qi was in reverie, he only heard Nie Qianwu say, "In this case, as long as your brother Kong Fang is alive, I, Nie Qian, can ignore the Fallen Heaven City, but the taxes must be paid, and it will be thirty percent!" β
"No, two percent!"
"Okay, deal!"
In addition, Confonte purchased food from the surrounding countries and transported it together, also because of the help of the King of Coins, for a time, the victims of the disaster finally solved the urgent need. The victims have returned to their hometowns one after another, or settled in the spot, and the agricultural production in the sky has finally been settled.
Because of this incident, Nie Qianwu has accumulated a lot of popularity in the imperial court, but at this time it is a later story.
After the transaction ended, Nie Qianwu opened two jars of good wine, and everyone talked about the wine, but at this time, Kong Fang pulled Li Qi out of the door: "Okay, Li Qi, don't be angry anymore, it's a mistake, okay?" In his opinion, it is okay for a woman to be angry and say sorry and coax.
"Are you wrong?" Li Qi glanced at Kong Fang with disdain and sighed, "It seems that you really don't know why I'm angry!" β
Kong Fang was stunned for a moment, and seemed to be very puzzled by Li Qi's words.
"You said that Kosuke died at a young age, it was fate, and you said that he was going to be divided by five horses, because he deserved it, and he deserved this price if he changed your face. But shouldn't we ghost officials go to salvation?
If Kosuke hadn't changed your face, his life would have been long, and if he died early now, I should have redeemed him and changed him, that was his true fate. Could it be that according to what you say, the Li family deserves to never die, my father deserves to go to the earth fire and the hell ditch, and I, Li Qi, deserve to be beaten to death by the old ghost and then reincarnated? β
"Thisβ" Kong Fang was speechless at the moment, even if he was half a point to refute something.
"Why can you be so indifferent! What is it that makes you so desperate!? Li Qi angrily shook off Kong Fang's hand and said, "You know what? When my dad killed my classmates, I didn't hate them at all, and I regretted why I didn't rush out and save them. So from then on I was even willing to save a few more people, so that they would not be tired of me and they would die.
But I haven't saved anyone over the years, and I even invited a group of demons to kill the mermaid's soul, in fact, do you know my heart for redemption? Kosuke is my friend, the person entrusted to me by the rakshasas, but you have caused me to lose my trust, as if I was carrying a blood debt again, do you know how guilty I feel in my heart? Do you know what guilt is?! β
At this moment, Kong Fang looked at Li Qi who questioned him in a daze, not knowing what to do.
"Hey." Li Qi looked at Kong Fang helplessly, she knew that Kong Fang must have something in his heart, and he must have experienced something that made him indifferent now, Li Qi didn't understand this indifference, just like he didn't know the former Feng Wu Yuedian at all, he was wrapped in his own heart knot, unwilling to redeem, and now Li Qi didn't have a trace of wanting to redeem the people around him, "I also know that you have a reason, you have your heart knot, and even I don't want to mention it, but do you always have to live in your own heart knot and don't want to redeem?" β
"This." Kong Fang's heart was shocked, the past was unbearable, he didn't want to reminisce more, but in fact, Kong Fang didn't want to tell Li Qi, but felt that he was not in the mood to say his heart knot before or even now, but even if he escaped, Kong Fang instinctively grabbed Li Qi's hand and was unwilling to let go.
"It's exactly the same, I don't want to say anything!" This kind of Kong Fang made Li Qi suddenly think of the night of silence, and suddenly, Li Qi felt that these two men were so similar, and in desperation, Li Qi shook off Kong Fang's hand in disappointment and left angrily.
The snow fell again, like Xiao Jie's miserable white soul, and suddenly, Kong Fang felt that Xiao Jie, even the soul of the Rakshasa who could not return, was looking at him from a distance, looking at Li Qi who wanted to redeem the world, but she missed this redemption because of herself. Suddenly, Kong Fang seemed to understand Li Qi's pain, Li Qi's perennial pursuit, she grew up in that Rubik's Cube domain with no future and no happiness, she saw too much demonic pain and desire, looking at her distant back, Kong Fang suddenly woke up like a dream.
