Chapter 18 Ship or Death
I looked at the visitor, looking like a rich scholar, wearing only an ordinary egg-blue scribe's silk robe, but with a jasper belt, and a warm white hosta in the hair on the top of his head. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The willow leaves have long eyes and a plump face, a high nose bridge, a slight upturned mouth, a kind look with a little arrogance, with a bit of the chic of a handsome son, and looks quite personable.
The man was not alarmed, he turned a blind eye to the long sword pointed at him by the three elements, and hugged his fists towards Gu Yin and said, "Does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince remember where he is?"
The youngest is Li Yuhuai, the eldest son of the luggage shopkeeper of Juyuan merchants, who once participated in the grain relief banquet of the king of Shu in Yizhou with his father. This time, I heard that His Royal Highness went out of Yizhou smoothly and was going to Xiangguo, and the nearest Jiangcheng to Yizhou was here. The little one is waiting here early in the morning, willing to help His Highness. ”
Gu Yin frowned, looked at him vigilantly, and said: "Juyuan Commercial Bank is the largest business south of the Yangtze River, your business covers all countries, and you have always been in business and not in politics, why are you so concerned about a prince of a dead country in my district?" ”
That Li Yuhuai smiled slightly, still unhurried, and said: "My Li family, first of all, is the people of Shu, and I have a homeland for Shu;
Secondly, my father and I have always been moved by the love and benevolence of the King of Shu. As a business, we also hope that the world will be stable and benevolent, so that we can make money with peace of mind. King Liang has always been a heavy tax on merchants, if it weren't for survival, our Li family would not have done Liang's business.
Therefore, in my heart, I still hope that His Royal Highness can return to peace. ”
Gu Yin looked at me, I shook my head blankly, this person has a charitable face, and his tone is calm, I really can't tell if it's true or not, if it's fake, I can only say that I am a good kung fu cover-up.
In the face of yin and yang, you can only know one or two about people, and you need to listen to their words, observe their deeds, and understand their meanings in order to distinguish their hearts.
The human heart is the most complex thing in the world.
Gu Yin had no choice but to ask again: "Help me like this, if the Liang people find out, it will do you a hundred harms and no benefits." ”
Li Yuhuai took two steps forward, a little closer to us, and said, "It is the nature of businessmen to pursue profits. And if there is chaos today, every business must also think about its own future, who to do things for, and what the future is, which are the keys to determining the future fate. To put it bluntly, our Li family chooses to bet the treasure on the prince. ”
"You won't be so stupid, just bet on one." I interjected.
Li Yuhuai glanced at me and smiled back at me enthusiastically: "This girl Bingxue is smart, and she doesn't have to hide it from each other, there is indeed more than one family, but giving the prince a boat, this is just a gesture for our Li family, Your Highness only needs to remember this favor." ”
Min Qiu shook his shoulders and asked casually, "How can we trust you?" In case you join forces with King Liang and trick us into the middle of the river before we take action, won't it become you to send us to the boat and kill us? ”
Li Yuhuai laughed twice, looked at Min Qiu on the one hand, and said on the other: "Although Your Highness's head is worth a thousand gold, my Li family does not lack this money; As for "Heavenly Soldiers", we are a business, and it is even more useless to use it.
So why do we do this kind of thing that doesn't benefit at all? ”
"Chronicles of the Heavenly Soldiers"? Several of us looked at each other at the same time, and King Liang also released the news!
Min Qiu and Gu Yin looked at each other, and they should be saying, "Go and see." ”
Gu Yin pouted helplessly, which should mean: "There is no better way." ”
He was about to speak, when he heard a coquettish voice,
"Your Highness, don't trust such traitors!"
I saw three women in yellow coming out of the woods on the shore and rushing towards Li Yuhuai with swords.
It happened suddenly, and we were all stunned.
That Li Yuhuai was also considered agile, volleyed into the air, avoided the dense three swords, turned over and fell backwards, and said: "I, Juyuan Firm, and your leading gang have always been well water and do not interfere with river water, why do you slander me?" And take my life? ”
The three women's swords did not decrease, they turned over in the air and changed formations, and the three swords formed a triangle and pressed down from the air, which was very good-looking. One of them said coquettishly: "Anyone who plots against His Highness is an enemy of my leading gang." ”
I leaned in to Gu Yin and said, "Your popularity is not bad, there are people everywhere to help you." ”
Gu Yin's face was pale: "Whether it's help or harm, it's not necessarily." ”
Sanxing also came over and said, "Senior brother, should we make a move?" ”
Min Qiu replied on the side: "Who to help?" I don't know who is really kind. ”
Gu Yin said: "Brother Min, what do you think of this Li Gongzi's kung fu?" ”
Min Qiu replied: "You must learn from the masters, the formation of these three girls is quite exquisite, it seems simple, deep in it, the sword qi is just intertwined into a circle, if I change it, I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with it so easily." ”
Sanxing nodded: "It's my thirteen-year-old level." ”
Min Qiu pretended to be jealous and glared at him.
Wu Que muttered: "I think this Li Gongzi is a good person, and it makes sense to hear him speak." ”
I patted him on the head: "Pig brain, how can you deceive people if it doesn't make sense?" ”
Sanxing said: "That is, these three girls are good people?" ”
Min Qiu teased me: "Fairy Gu, quickly calculate a hexagram." ”
I glanced at him: "You are a god to me, I can't even count your thoughts." ”
He pretended to be surprised: "Can't you even see that I like you?" ”
I threatened to slap him in the mouth: "Do you believe that I pulled your beard off one by one?" ”
Gu Yin said with a cold face: "This is not the time for jokes. ”
Over there, Li Yuhuai was taking out a judge's pen and fighting with three women in yellow.
The three of them all had excellent swordsmanship, and they cooperated just right, he gradually gained the upper hand, and when he saw that we were still standing on the side, he was talking and laughing, and said helplessly: "Your Highness, you can't help it if you don't believe me, but you must not believe these demon girls, they are the leader of the gang, and there are many pickled things behind them." If you trust me, find a place to stay, and I will find you again. ”
After speaking, he turned around, broke free from the sword net of the three women, and floated into the forest.
When the three women saw him withdraw, they came to us and knelt down to Gu Yin and said, "Your Highness." ”
One of them raised a folding fan, raised it above his head, handed it to Gu Yin, and said, "The slave family is the maid of the lady of the dragon head gang, and the lady said that Her Royal Highness has seen this thing and will go to see her, and the lady can escort you to Padang smoothly." ”
Gu Yin picked up the folding fan and opened it, I leaned over to see a delicate Hunan bamboo silk fan, carrying a small poem on it, nothing special.
Gu Yin looked at the poem intently, his expression gradually became excited, and said, "This is the title written by my father, who is your wife?" ”
The woman got up and made a gesture of please, and said, "Your Highness, please come with us." ”
On the path outside the forest, three four-headed carriages wrapped in delicate draperies were parked.
This faucet gang is not simple, I thought to myself, not only did he find us so quickly, but even the carriage was in place early, so it can be seen that he must pick us up.
The carriage didn't go far before stopping, I jumped out of the car, only to see an ordinary gray tile and white wall square courtyard, the courtyard is paved with bluestone slabs, a shallow well in the middle, as if I heard the sound of gurgling water, I looked down at the well railing, it was the Yangtze River.
It turns out that this yard is built on the river!
A maid in yellow dressed the same as the woman holding the sword just now greeted her and said, "Everyone, please, Madame is waiting for Your Highness in the house." ”
We enter the hall, only to see the door facing a row of long windows, the carved window lattices are supported by wooden supports, outside the window is the Yangtze River of Qingbo soup, the river breeze in October is slightly cold, with the breath of flowing water, which makes people feel refreshed and happy.
I heard the sound of the soft bead curtain, and a figure came out of the room.
What a beautiful woman! About 20 years old, goose egg face, autumn eyes, light curved eyebrows, square nose, sideburns like ink skin like snow, hair bun lightly, hairpin beads and jade hairpins, a begonia red floor-length skirt, temperament is graceful and dignified, the national color and fragrance should be so.
She smiled and looked at me when her eyes swept down my face, her expression was stunned, and then she was stunned, and even her gentle eyes froze.
The maidservant beside her called "madam" twice, but she didn't react until Gu Yin coughed lightly, and then she realized her gaffe.
Hurriedly recovering his initial smile, his eyes continued to sweep towards me, and he came over to bow to Gu Yin Yingying, and then to the other four of us.
Before Gu Yin could speak, Min Qiu interjected, "Does Madame know this girl?" He pointed at me.
The lady smiled shyly, shook her head, and gestured.
She's mute!
