Chapter 495: The Snake Lord (3)

Jiang Yun and the Yatsumata Enjia cooperated quite smoothly, thanks to Naoda Mori being a person who can call the shots, and his personality is quite decisive, so he can do it when he thinks about it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info After some discussion, the specific matters have been discussed. It's just that between the snake master and Jiang Zhu'er, the atmosphere is still quite awkward.

This man in his forties looks really good, but his momentum is a little cold, and he also has an inexplicable killing aura. Although the two are father and daughter, Zhu'er has never gotten along with him, and he looks like he wants to hide as far as he wants, and he is timid. Hindering Jiang Yun's statement, although she did not refuse to recognize this father, she was reluctant to go to the east, and the more the two talked, the more stiff they became, and the snake master was obviously a little impatient.

"Are you going with me?"

Over there, Naoda Sheng had finished talking to Jiang Yun, and as soon as he moved his eyes, he found the deadlock in front of him, and hurriedly took a step forward and said, "Lord, you have something to say, don't scare the young master." As he spoke, he put on a warm smile and said to Zhu'er quite amiably: "Young master, you should go back with us once." ā€

"I... I don't. ā€

Jiang Zhu'er still insisted, and Naota Sheng was not discouraged, suddenly his face changed, his smile suddenly changed, and he changed into a sad face, and sighed: "Young master, in order to protect you from leaving safely, Mrs. unfortunately died in the east. You are the person she loves and cares about the most in the world, but this parting has really become a farewell. Before leaving, she pleaded with the Lord to protect you. Now that more than ten years have passed, under Mrs. Jiuquan, you must still be worried, are you really so ruthless, you don't want to see her anyway, and put a stick of incense on her grave? Do you want her to be at ease under the Nine Springs? ā€

"I..." Now she hesitated.

Since ancient times, there is no word that can be greater than "mother", even if Jiang Zhu'er has long lost the impression of a biological mother, but suddenly hearing this person with warmth, her heart still trembled slightly. Strict father and mother, father's love is cold, and can only be experienced when he really grows up. A mother's love is full of warmth and runs through a person's life.

Jiang Zhu'er hesitated, and couldn't help but turn her eyes on Jiang Yun for help. "Xianggong...

Jiang Yun stepped forward, regardless of his father-in-law's face, he caressed Zhu'er's little head dotingly, and said with a smile: "If you want to go, go there." Whether you remember her or not, but mother's love is like a mountain, and the grace of birth and nurturing is as great as the sky. Go to the incense stick, respectfully kowtow to her old man, it is also his duty, and it should be. ā€

"But..." Jiang Zhu'er was still hesitating, she said cowardly: "But I don't want to be separated from you." ā€

The previous two years of separation, the two finally reunited, and it didn't take long for Jiang Yun to fall into Mobei, and the two were separated for more than half a year again. Jiang Zhu'er had palpitations, how could she still be willing to go to sea alone and say goodbye to him again? People say that they only know how to cherish when they lose, and she now cherishes the current stable life of the two, and she just wants to live it until she gets old. But my mother's side... If you don't even go to the pillar incense, isn't it in vain to be the son of man?

The Great Zhou Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, and although the old Jiang family was poor, Jiang Bin and his wife were quite interested in morality and ethics, and had a deep impact on Zhu'er, she was really embarrassed at the moment.

Seeing her dependence on herself, Jiang Yun's heart floated with a touch of warmth, he hesitated slightly, and then said: "Forget it, Xianggong will accompany you, I, who is a son-in-law, should also go to kowtow to my mother-in-law." As he spoke, he looked at the snake lord again and said, "Father-in-law, I'll go with Zhu'er." However, we can't stay long in the east, we must go back to Dazhou before the official war, and I can't let Zhu'er stay there and take any risks. ā€

"It should be, it should be." Naoda Sheng complied with the words, and persuaded with a smile: "Lord, what do you say? ā€

"Hmph." Still with a cool snort, the snake lord pulled his robe, turned around and walked outside.

Seeing this, Jiang Yun knew that he had agreed, and hurriedly pulled Zhu'er and walked out. explained to Ji Luo, who was guarding outside, and asked her to go back to the palace for a few days first, and help him take care of Xiao Ran. Only then did he take Zhu'er to catch up with the snake master, and according to the agreement, he went to HSBC to withdraw the silver ticket first.

Dongkou is an island country, and the situation is not much better than Yizhou, which is particularly dependent on foreign trade. Of all the trade goods, more than eighty percent came from the Great Zhou. Cargo ships between the two places come and go frequently, so the silver tickets issued by some large-scale money banks in the Great Zhou can also be circulated in the east. Even in terms of trust, it is better than the national ticket number, because it is more secure.

The east is a small land, ostensibly ruled by the emperor, but in fact it is controlled by two major families, this is the highest class of power, and it seems to be a unified country, but in fact it is very chaotic. Dozens of famous lords, large and small, were like those vassal states during the Warring States Period, and for their own interests, they found an excuse to fight endlessly. In addition, the minerals in the east are scarce, and the economy is much more backward than that of the Great Zhou, and it is quite poor.

It is not uncommon for some money houses secretly controlled by the owner to deliberately close down due to the owner's urgent need for money, and the people's silver deposit is extremely insecure. Although the distance is long and it is inconvenient to withdraw money, safety is more important than anything else.

After receiving the 500,000 taels of denominations handed over by Jiang Yun and stamped with the big seal of HSBC, Naota Sheng's old face couldn't help but bloom. He flew his fingers together and counted them neatly, and the more he clicked, the brighter the smile on his face. Five million taels, what kind of wealth is this?

Unexpected, really unexpected! I thought that the young master would let people pick it up, and when he raised it, he got married silently, and the family would lose a lot of money. But he didn't want the big snake to bless him, the man of the young master was so rich, and depending on the situation, he had much more than that.

When he took out the silver, the steward respectfully asked how much silver he wanted to withdraw, Jiang Yun raised his hand with five fingers, and the steward looked embarrassed. I thought it was too much, but the money bank was not financially enough, but I didn't want to take care of it and shouted "Take 50 million taels of silver tickets" when he turned around.

These words almost made Naoda Sheng fall on his head. Although it is a misunderstanding, the husband of the young lord will never have less than 10,000 taels of silver, which is a guaranteed amount.

Ten thousand taels, what is the concept? Rich enough to rival the country! Although it can't compete with the behemoth of Da Zhou, it is more than enough to go abroad a few times east. Naota Mori is confident that even if he doesn't use such radical means, as long as he has a steady stream of financial support, the family will have no scruples in cultivating talents, and it is only a matter of time before he defeats the two major families.

The silver two are in hand, and the personnel are just Jiang Yun's letter. He thought about accompanying Zhu'er to the east this time, just to familiarize himself with the environment over there. The transfer of personnel is not in a hurry for the time being, and it will take time to prepare for war. After everything was ready, Jiang Yun went to Wu Wangfu and said hello to Ji Feng, and then rushed to Shanghai County with everyone and went to the sea to the east.

------------------------

Jiang Yun knew that the Yatsumata Yuan family's life in the east was not too easy, but after he crossed the ocean and arrived at his destination, he realized that their current life was much worse than he imagined.

Yes, they arrived in the east, but not in the east. It is located to the west of Sanyang Road, belonging to Saikaido, a small island hanging alone... Tohide is an island country, and this is the island county in the island country. Of course, this so-called county is not at all the same as the county established by the Great Zhou, and it is much smaller in scale. In Jiang Yun's view, Mo said that it was a county, even a "county" was not qualified to be called, and it was a "township" if it was killed, and the overall scope was only as big as three or four Jiangjia villages.

The name of this place is Iki, and like everywhere else, there is a famous owner. After arriving with the ship, the snake lord immediately took them to meet the only minor lord in the entire eastern country who was loyal to the Yatsumata Yuan family.

This slightly shabby lord had the face of a passerby, was in his forties, a little older than the snake chief, and had a few tufts of silver threads added to his head. He wore a traditional costume from the East, which looked relatively ordinary and was difficult to remember. However, his surname is very distinctive, his surname is Sansan, and when it is associated with the first name, it is more recognizable - Sanjo and Erbo.

This thing must be very powerful in playing mahjong, this name Jiang Yun only heard it once, and it will be hard to forget.

It's full of poverty and devastation, and the population is small. The inhabitants of the whole island are about 3,000, and this famous master of the three two cylinders is said to have an army under his command, how many people? . . Two hundred. Some of the chengguan teams of later generations were responsible for patrolling the countryside on a daily basis, monitoring the coastal area in case the rest of the main soldiers were to invade Iki.

However, in Jiang Yun's opinion, this kind of defense seems to be unnecessary. It's so poor here! There are few people, little land, and few materials, and it can be said that it is almost useless except for remote and secretive. There really isn't a village chief... Oh no, the lord will be concerned about his territory.

The silver ticket that Jiang Yun personally handed over to Naoda Sheng was taken out by the old guy again, but not five hundred, but one. tremblingly took the silver ticket, and when he saw the "10,000 taels" denomination on it, the three of them rolled their eyes and almost fainted. But fortunately, he was quite adaptable, and after his body shook slightly, the figure that was about to come down stopped him again. But this shock is really not small, and almost every beard on the slightly old face is trembling.

He knelt and kowtowed, and accepted it with a thousand thanks. Grabbing the silver ticket in his hand, as if he owned the whole world, his appearance really made Jiang Yun a little crying and laughing.

After the business of buying people's hearts was done, Naoda Sheng explained to him with a smile again, and then walked out with everyone.

On the far right side of the island is the village of Yamata Yuanjia, which is quite remote, resembling a gourd mouth, narrow and towering on both sides, but it is a natural dangerous place. There are many boats along the surrounding coast. Jiang Yun only glanced at it, and cold sweat seeped out on his forehead, which clearly showed that he could hide if he could, and ran away if he couldn't dodge.

There are not many people in the village, about three or five hundred. The appearance is quite leisurely, not as nervous and busy training as imagined. According to Naoda Mori, most of these are peripheral members of the family, mainly responsible for traveling to and from various places to collect supplies, and most of the main family members are scattered all over the world, and they all have tasks on their own.

Hearing this, Jiang Yun naturally understood. The so-called task is nothing more than to cause trouble everywhere, such as assassination or something, in addition to directly hitting the target, it can also create some terrifying atmosphere, and if there is chaos in the east, then they can have room to survive.

The cemetery of Zhu'er's biological mother is on the hillside behind the village, and the Amaterasu family was looking for an opportunity for the main force of Yamata to scatter all over the place, and carried out a surprise attack, which gave the village a pot. Fortunately, thanks to her desperate protection, her subordinates were able to successfully take Zhu'er to the beach and board the ship that fled to Da Zhou.

When people run away, they naturally have to chase them. Several ninjas from the Amaterasu family also boarded the ship and followed them all the way to Shanghai County, where they eventually caught up on the outskirts of Wu County and killed the maid. It's just that the baby she has been holding in her arms can't be found. After all, it was in the Great Zhou realm, which inevitably caused trouble, so they destroyed the corpse and then returned to the sea again. Jiang Zhu'er, who was hidden in the bamboo forest by the maid, was finally discovered by Jiang Bin, who passed by by chance, and brought home as a child daughter-in-law to be carefully raised.

The cemetery is rather rudimentary, but it is extremely clean and tidy, with wide roads and well-groomed grass, and it is clear that people often come to take care of it. A thick tombstone with a name engraved on it, Huiqian Wind Chimes.

Standing solemnly beside the tomb, the snake lord's face was still calm like water, but a touch of tenderness and sadness inadvertently flashed in his eyes. Naoda Mori, who was always by his side like a shadow, lost his smile for the first time on his smiling tiger face, his body trembled slightly, and his legs fell to his knees as soon as he became weak. His eyes were red, and his voice was slightly hoarse, and he said, "Madam, for more than ten years, I have finally found the young master." ā€

As he spoke, he stood up, led Jiang Zhu'er to the tomb, and continued: "Look at it, how similar she is to you." When she left, she was only so small, but now she is a big girl. ā€

Let him mumble in his ear, Jiang Zhu'er didn't say a word, just stared at the tombstone blankly. The snake lord beside him suddenly thought of something, and he took out a scroll from his back and slowly opened it. The scroll seemed to turn into a projector, and the air fluctuated slightly, and then a projection of a woman appeared next to the tomb.

"This is your mother." The snake lord said lightly.

In fact, there is no need to say it, the projection only needs to be glanced, and this conclusion can be easily obtained. Naoda Sheng is right, these two mothers are really similar, but maybe under the influence of the snake master, Zhu'er's figure is slightly taller than her mother, but her appearance is almost carved out of a mold.

Jiang Yun looked at it carefully, the only difference between the mother and daughter may be the smile. Zhu'er's smile was very subtle, timid, and had a distressing taste. The face is born from the heart, and her temperament is as gentle as water. The projection of Huiqian wind chimes is also laughing, that smile is sunny, bright, generous, and a little enthusiastic, very infectious. At first glance, he is a very good-tempered person who is very easy to get along with. Maybe only such a person can complement the cold nature of the snake master.

When she saw the tombstone before, Jiang Zhu'er was still just weak and complicated, but when she saw her biological mother's appearance at this moment, she seemed to be able to feel the strong warmth and maternal love, and her eyes turned red inexplicably.

"Mother..."

She muttered softly, and found that her left hand had been held in the palm of Jiang Yun's hand. "Zhu'er, let's kowtow to my mother-in-law."

"Yes." The two knelt hand in hand in front of the tomb and bent deeply.

Influenced by history, Jiang Yun has never had a good impression of this island country. On weekdays, if you can get into a pit, it's like buying a girl, and you never think about the consequences. But now that it has crossed, history has deviated from the trajectory, and with the relationship between Zhu'er, it may be worth considering using the Yatsumata family to control the east. The master of the horizontal snake has a daughter, and Zhu'er is his only successor, if he can use it for himself, it seems that there is no need to design to kill them all.

In this way, his determination to exterminate the two major families was even stronger.
