Chapter 0129 - On the Water Side
According to Li Angzhi's tricks, Fang Rong took the plan and ostensibly withdrew a large number of soldiers and horses northwest of Lutou Pass, and instead increased the reconnaissance of the surrounding areas of Qiongzhou.
Secretly, he selected capable people and disguised himself as all kinds of people to secretly track down.
Then there is the form of buying and selling or offering rewards, so that the scoundrels and ruffians in Hanzhou secretly inquire. These people don't do their jobs all day long, they wander everywhere, and they are most clear about the three religions and nine streams, and the rat's nest and snake road, and using these people to track down may be able to play a role in getting twice the result with half the effort.
Li Ang did not stay in Qiongzhou for long, and after bidding farewell to Sun Deng, he took Nangong Ziyan and Fang Ji and hurriedly returned to Huojing County, preparing to preside over another bidding for agents.
Bidding is to make money, and if you can get one more franchisee, Li Ang will not get one less.
In addition, it is necessary to transfer the assets as soon as possible and put them in different baskets. In the future, even if something happens to the salt industry, he will not return to the pre-liberation period overnight.
With money in hand, Jiannan Road is not easy to mix, let's go to Chang'an, why not? With this kind of psychological preparation that he can afford to put down, Li Ang's mood is not affected by Fang Rong at all.
On this return trip, Li Ang chose to take a boat up the river with Baizhu upstream, the river is flat and wide, the water birds are flying, the green fields on both sides of the bank stretch, and the wildflowers are clustered. Because there is no pollution, the water is crystal clear, and schools of fish can be seen swimming underwater.
In particular, there are so many carp that they are almost a disaster!
Li Tang did not allow the people of the world to hunt and kill carp, and carp adaptability and fecundity are very strong, no one has preyed on them for more than a hundred years, and they can be seen everywhere between the rivers, the big ones are nearly 100 catties, and the two or three catties are not worth mentioning at all.
Leon and Francis put wine on the bow of the boat, drinking and fishing. The boat is moving forward leisurely. The hook was swept up almost to the surface by the current, and despite this, there were schools of carp to grab food.
In less than three minutes, Leon caught a large carp weighing three pounds and was jumping around in the cabin. Nangong Ziyan saw it and hurriedly said, "Li Lang." It's a carp, I can't eat it, release it quickly......"
Li Ang smiled and said, "Release? Hehe, Ziyan, don't forget that my surname is Li, according to the number of heads, there are always a few carps that belong to me, I eat the carp under my name, is there anything wrong with this? ”
"Li Lang, all over the world. It is not the king's land, the shore of the land, and it is not the king's minister. The Son of Heaven decreed that carp should not be hunted, and it was a great crime to violate the decree. Why is Li Lang doing this, if he is reported to the government, how can he be good? Nangong's picturesque eyebrows were full of worry.
As a result, when she persuaded her, Li Ang had already taken out the golden knife and quickly scaled the big carp and broke the belly. Wash it in the river water and start deboning. Cut into thin slices, the golden knife is extremely sharp, and with Li Ang's dexterity, the fish fillet is as thin as paper.
A table of fish tart, quickly ready, Li Ang himself and dipping sauce. tasted it first, then smiled at Fang Ji and said, "Xiao Fang, do you dare to eat?" ”
"Brother Li caught a sea bass, why don't you dare to eat it?" Francis finished and tasted it.
Li Ang laughed: "Xiao Fang, you have learned badly!" Hahaha........."
Nangong Ziyan hesitated. also picked up the chopsticks and tasted it, she was not because she was gluttonous, no matter what he did, she would stand with him if she couldn't persuade him.
"Ziyan, it's rare to have such a time, the breeze on the river is like a promise, the scenery is like a roll, you take the piano and play a song for us."
Nangong Ziyan smiled, got up to collect a blessing, and then went into the cabin to get the piano. She is dressed in white and snow, and under the blowing of the river breeze, she dances like a butterfly, and her delicate beauty is like a fairy Lingbo.
She quickly took out the piano and knelt in front of the cabin, her jade fingers flicked lightly, and the elegant sound of the piano echoed on the calm river, as elegant as the white clouds on the river.
Li Ang held the pot and poured a cup for himself and Francis, then raised the glass, and said solemnly: "Xiao Fang, I respect you!" After Leon finished speaking, he did it first.
Francis knew that he was thanking himself for his move to advance and retreat together in the Qiongzhou Mansion, and Li Ang did not say thank you, just as he had never said thank you at the beginning, everything was in this glass of wine.
Some people, who have been together for a lifetime, have always had a separation.
Some people only need one thing to support life and death.
Nowadays, in the salt industry, although the Fang family only accounts for 20%, in fact, the current income of 20% is stronger than when the Fang family operated coarse salt.
And three years later, Leon will return the salt from the Fang family in the fire well, which Francis does not doubt. With Leon's ability, after three years, he may not be able to look down on the salt wells of the upper family in the fire well.
"Are you still looking for your third uncle?" Li Ang said leisurely, "Actually, what can I do if I find you, really kill him?" Is it worth it? ”
Francis held his wine glass, silent, the sun shining obliquely, and the green wine in the cup rippled slightly, just like Francis's heart lake.
At the beginning, he was carrying a knife, and he wanted to go back and kill his third uncle Fang Tongguang. Now, his third uncle is like a lost dog, and he doesn't know where to flee, and the hatred in Francis's heart is slowly fading.
Seeing that he had regained his silence, Li Ang clicked and changed the topic: "By the way, Xiao Fang, your cousin is not only beautiful, but I heard that she is also very good at management. That day, I could see that she really cared about you, what was her name? If there is no one to match...... Hehe......"
Francis glanced at him, and all words were expressed in this glance.
"Xiao Fang, you misunderstood, I didn't mean to hook up with your cousin. I think your cousin and you are really a good match, of course, if you don't like it, then I'm welcome, what's her name? ”
"Liu Ling."
"Good name, I don't believe that the water chestnut is weak, who teaches Guizhixiang in the moon. Straight lovesickness is useless, and it is madness to be melancholy...... Uh, Purple Smoke, why did you stop? ”
Nangong Ziyan's slender jade fingers pressed the strings, Qiushui's bright eyes looked at Li Ang stupidly, the full affection was like a river flowing in spring, and his mouth muttered the four lines of poetry that Li Ang chanted casually.
"Li Lang, this should be the last four sentences of the Seven Laws, the first four sentences, Li Lang!"
"Haha, don't take Ziyan seriously, I'm talking nonsense, where is the first four sentences."
Nangong Ziyan glanced at him, knowing that it was useless to ask more, so he had to give up.
At this moment, a few zhang away on the river, a light boat followed, a woman on the bow of the boat wearing a white light veil, the body is graceful, like a frightening Hong, graceful like a swimming dragon, the jade finger is holding a jade flute, the sound of Qingyue's flute sounds, extremely pleasant, for a time let the mountains and rivers on both sides of the strait become more beautiful, poetic and picturesque.
Li Ang looked at the beauty on the boat and couldn't help blurting out: "Xiao Luan! ”.
