Chapter 85: The Girl's Heart
Putting down the dishes, Elena felt that the atmosphere was too embarrassing, she raised her head and said, "Why don't we go out for a walk, and let you see our night scene here." ”
"Okay." Fang Xiaoyu immediately responded, he has lived in the city for a long time, and he is also very yearning for nature.
The two walked out of the hut side by side, it was already pitch black outside, only a few fireflies passed through the trees, allowing Fang Xiaoyu to faintly see the swaying figure in the distance. "What are they doing here?" Fang Xiaoyu was a little strange, and the people in the distance were busy. Elena laughed, "Many animals come out at night, so night and early morning are also the best times to hunt, they are all hunters of the clan, and they are preparing to set off to hunt. ”
Fang Xiaoyu nodded and said, "When you move out of the mountain, you don't have to work so hard." Elena didn't say anything, and her small hand gently grabbed Fang Xiaoyu's hand and said, "You come with me." Following Elena, the two of them came to a pond near the sacred tree, where the moon had risen in mid-air, and its reflection was thrown into the pool, making the neighborhood much brighter.
Elena sat next to a stone by the pond, looked at Fang Xiaoyu tenderly and whispered, "Can you help me comb my hair?" The girl invited herself to comb her hair, this was an invitation that Fang Xiaoyu had never received in his two lives, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said in a nervous voice: "Okay." ”
As a result, with the wooden comb in Elena's hand, Fang Xiaoyu carefully raised Elena's long golden hair, and he combed Elena's hair as gently as possible. Smelling the faint fragrance of virginity, Fang Xiaoyu's heart rose with a scorching heat, and he discovered Elena's beauty more and more.
Neither of the two spoke, Fang Xiaoyu just combed his hair silently, until he combed Elena's brocade-like blonde hair one by one, Fang Xiaoyu felt that he was still very talented in combing girls' hair. Looking at Elena's crystal clear skin reflected by the moonlight, Fang Xiaoyu was a little stunned. Turning around and seeing Fang Xiaoyu's somewhat dull gaze, two red clouds unconsciously appeared on Elena's face, she gently took back the wooden comb from Fang Xiaoyu's hand and said, "I'll go back first." After saying that, she fled without looking back.
Elena left quickly, Fang Xiaoyu woke up, sniffed the remaining fragrance on his fingertips, Fang Xiaoyu was a little whimsical. "Congratulations, young master." Al suddenly spun out from behind the tree. "Huh? Congratulations to me on what? Fang Xiaoyu asked strangely. Al pointed to the pond and said, "Do you know where this is?" Fang Xiaoyu looked at the pond and shook his head blankly.
"This is the Moon Well, a very sacred place for our elves. Whenever a young man or woman falls in love, they always come to the moon well. We elves believe that as long as boys comb girls' hair by the moon well, their love will remain steadfast. ”
"Huh?" Fang Xiaoyu was startled, Elena actually invited herself here to comb her hair, such a hint was too obvious. Seeing Fang Xiaoyu's shocked appearance, Al smiled slightly: "Okay, I'm going back to sleep, see you again." With that, he turned around and disappeared.
"Hey." Before Fang Xiaoyu could stop him, Al had already disappeared. Fang Xiaoyu looked around in the dim and muttered: "Why are you gone in a blink of an eye, how can I go back when you leave, which way should you go?" He looked around carefully for a long time before choosing a direction to go. Al lying on the branch looked at Fang Xiaoyu's distant back and smiled and said to himself, "Sister, brother can only help you get here." ”
It took most of the night to return to his cabin, Fang Xiaoyu was tired and threw himself on the bed and fell asleep like this. In the next few days, Fang Xiaoyu and a group of elders led by Kalia held detailed talks, and the two sides determined the details of their actions after the alliance.
With Fang Xiaoyu's guarantee, the elves began to prepare to move out of the mountain, but after living here for thousands of years, moving is not something that can be moved in a while, not to mention that it is impossible for the elves to give up this holy land, so after they negotiated with Fang Xiaoyu, they decided to leave some of the garrison personnel and rotate them every ten years, and most of the other clansmen moved out of the elf to live, for which Fang Xiaoyu left a small wind transmission badge for the elves, and he promised to deliver various daily necessities and food supplies to the elves left behind on time, lest the life of the elves stationed in the Holy Land be too difficult.
Fang Xiaoyu still has a lot of things, it is impossible to stay in the elf clan for a long time, after reaching an agreement, Fang Xiaoyu set off to go back, accompanied by Elena and Al, there are a lot of other elves, most of them are ready to go outside in advance, to lay a preemptive station for the relocation of the entire elf clan.
Fang Xiaoyu's conditions for the elves are very generous, the elves move out of the mountains, Fang Xiaoyu will build a city for them near the mountains, in addition, Fang Xiaoyu will give them the status of a leader, and help them find a suitable livelihood.
After solving the matter of forming an alliance with the three major sub-human races, Fang Xiaoyu did not return to his territory directly. In order to better develop the territory, Fang Xiaoyu was going to Luhai County, and heard that Xiahou Min was resting in Lushun Port, the Golden Prefecture of Jinzhou, with the First Fleet of the Empire, Fang Xiaoyu planned to talk to him about new cooperation issues.
Port Arthur is surrounded by mountains, with the Golden Mountain in the east and the Tiger Tail Peninsula in the west, and a long and narrow waterway connecting with the open sea.
The water depth in the port is more than 50 meters, and all kinds of ships can pass. The Tiger Tail Peninsula can not only be used as a natural breakwater, but also form a pincer shape with the Golden Mountain to firmly protect the harbor.
The Lanfang Empire has been building forts in these two places since more than a hundred years ago, especially on the Tiger Tail Peninsula, where there are more than 100 batteries stacked on top of each other, equipped with nearly 200 cannons. Fang Xiaoyu couldn't help but sigh when he saw this, unless there was cooperation on land, it was almost impossible to capture this place purely by the navy.
According to the laws of the empire, the lord could not leave the territory unless he was ordered to enter Beijing, so this time Fang Xiaoyu went out in a very low-key manner, and directly found Xiahou Min's residence and asked for a meeting in the name of the representative of the Lanting Maritime Trading Company.
After several years of development in East China, and Fang Xiaoyu and Fang Xiaoyu's strong financial support, the Lanting Shipping Trading Company established that year, after the establishment and acquisition of other companies, is now a large trading company with hundreds of thousand-ton cargo ships.
The shipping company that has been engaged in ocean-going trade with the Western Continent often hires naval escorts, and it can be said that Xiahou Min is the big financier, not to mention that its owner is Fang Xiaoyu, Xiahou Min does not dare to slack off, there is such a relationship, he immediately met with someone in the study.
Seeing that the person who came was not tall and wore a low hat, Xiahou Min was a little puzzled and said, "You are the representative of Lanting Company?" The man took off his hat and said with a smile: "Why haven't I seen you for a few years, Marshal Xiahou doesn't know me?" ”
Xiahou Min was startled when he saw the person coming: "Fang Xiaoyu, why did you come here, if you let people know that you will be in big trouble if you leave the territory." Fang Xiaoyu smiled: "As long as the marshal doesn't say it, how can I be in trouble?" ”
Xiahou Min sighed and said, "You really want to make trouble for me, let's say, what is the matter with you coming to me?" Fang Xiaoyu smiled: "Won't the marshal invite me to sit down?" "Now that Fang Xiaoyu has become a lord, his status is not far behind Xiahou Min, so he naturally sways a lot more freely.
Xiahou Min shook his head with a wry smile, pointed to the chair and said, "Sit down, I won't let people make tea for you, so as not to reveal your identity." Fang Xiaoyu nodded understandingly, sat down and said, "Marshal, I'm here to send you money this time." ”
"Send money?" The corners of Xiahou Min's eyes twitched when he heard this, the navy is now rich after Fang Xiaoyu's guidance, and there is still some money, but these words are different from Fang Xiaoyu's mouth, the last time Fang Xiaoyu said a few words, the navy went from being stretched thin to saving a surplus of 20 million yuan a year, which can be described as a great reversal of heaven and earth.
Xiahou Min immediately put on a smiling face and said, "I just know that Xiaoyu is always thinking about me, what are the good ideas this time?" Fang Xiaoyu said: "I want to build a railway in Luhai County." Xiahou Min was puzzled: "What is a railway?" ”
Fang Xiaoyu explained: "The railway is used to transport goods on land, it is a road paved with steel rails, on which trains can run. He is fast, a little faster than a horse-drawn carriage, and does not need to take a break, and his greatest advantage is the cargo capacity, which can pull thousands of wagons at a time. Fang Xiaoyu gave a rough introduction to the purpose of the railway, and drew a sketch on the white paper on the table, Xiahou Min finally understood the meaning of the railway.
