In the summer, there are more people on the pastures.
Master Nomura and Mr. Li's cousin have been in the mountain for ten days, and it is time to return.
Yukimi Iike was in a bad mood and worried about Mr. Li's health, so she stayed at the Tianye Ranch for the next week.
Every morning, Yukimi Ichi will accompany Mr. Li; Sometimes it's happy, sometimes it's down. This directly affected her afternoon work, and it was only when Mr. Li was soaking in the hot springs that Yukimi Iike would sit in the ranch's newly established office and discuss things with people at the Tokyo headquarters on the television and telephone calls.
Yukimi Iike is not a fool, Zhu Tong just told a few stories, implying that in the current situation, Yukimi Iike can't fully trust either party; The Matsui family and the Ikeda family have been working together with the Iike family for 800 years, and that is the foundation of the family.
As the actual controller of the family consortium today, Yukimi Iike has very little experience, and the previous paragraph really feels very difficult, so many things have to be decided according to the opinions of Smith's think tank. She is intelligent and quickly understands that she is on the verge of danger, and that letting others think for herself is not a qualified family leader; In addition to becoming lazy or even stupid due to dependence on outsiders, it will destroy the traditional concept that supports the family.
So Yukimi Iike began to self-reflect, followed Mr. Li's advice, and thought about how to be a balancer who controls the overall situation, rather than a puppet of one side.
On this afternoon, Zhu Tong still soaked in the hot spring as usual, trying his best to use Peng Ma Gong to absorb the heat of the hot spring and consolidate the suppression of the butterfly god.
This effort was going on every day, and he was able to gradually extract a little bit of true qi to try to heal the wounds in his lungs; As on the previous occasions, as soon as the True Qi entered the lungs, it was like falling into a bottomless pit, and there was no more movement. That's how the Phoenix Mask runs out of energy, right? Zhu Tong reluctantly stopped the temptation.
This result is desperate, if even the phoenix mask and his own true qi have no effect on the injury to the lungs, then, even if Uncle Zhu Huang or the old liar come to cast the magic word, it will not have much effect. The basis of the word is Peng Ma Gong, and the principle is the same for different people.
There was a sound of footsteps in the distance, and Zhu Tong put away his meditating posture, closed his eyes and lay down softly.
Who will come? At this time, there are only four people who can approach the hot springs; Bai Jiashu, Zheng Shurong, the female living Buddha Qu Sang Zhuomu, and Miss Jingchi Xuemei.
The footsteps were strange and heavy, and the steps were large; It means that the person who came is at least about 1.9 meters tall and should weigh 100 kilograms.
Zhu Tong judged and screened that the jockeys of the Tianye Ranch were mostly short in stature, which was needed for the competition. Zhu Tong also knew that those jockeys were actually cultivators, and the entire Tianye Ranch could also be said to be a ninja training camp, and there were no such strong people at all.
So, who is this uninvited guest who is supposed to be from outside the ranch? It won't be that Smith. Mr. Watsonberg, right?
"Hey! Hello, please allow me to also enjoy the enthusiasm of the hot springs, three hours by train and two hours by car, it is really exhausting. β
The person who came spoke English, and Zhu Tong could only understand the general meaning; In the mist, a burly and sturdy European sits in the hot springs.
Just as Westerners can't tell the age of Easterners, Zhu Tong can't accurately judge his age, forty years old is always there. He has well-developed muscles and is supposed to be a guy who likes to exercise. Well, blonde hair and blue eyes, slightly smaller in contrast to the huge body face; With rough skin and a clump of chest hair on his chest, he should be the legendary standard European beauty man.
"Poof......." Zhu Tong blew a breath to dispel the fog between the two of them, and saw the eyes like two eagles. His left hand was stroking his chin, and Zhu Tong saw the silver crocodile ring on his ring finger, two tiny diamonds, shining with greedy light from the crocodile's eyes,
"You should be Mr. Li, right? My name is Smith, Smith. Watchenberg, Miss Cherry's lawyer. Sure enough, it was him, Zhu Tong pointed to his ear, indicating that the other party didn't understand what he was saying. In fact, his English proficiency was only picked up at the beginning of the year when he was admitted to graduate school, and he listened better, and it was really difficult to cope with such conversations.
"You're not washing? Don't be busy, I'm here to see you. I know you're a doctor and have just passed your graduate exam. We know a little about China's examination system, you may not be able to say anything, but there should be no problem listening. β
Zhu Tong stood up with a cold face, and Smith also stood up to stop him: "Mr. Li Xiang, Miss Jingchi Xuemei is the only heir of the Jingchi family, do you know what this means?" There is no way she could marry a doctor from China. Twenty days ago, the official agreement signed between Miss Yukimi and the Matsui family and the Ikeda clan included a clause that if she got married, she could only choose a husband within the Matsui family or the Ikeda family. If she violates this agreement, she will automatically lose control of the Ichi consortium. β
Smith paused at this point, gave Zhu Tong some time to digest and understand, and then continued: "Miss Xuemei has a crush on you, there is no doubt about it. In fact, she was free before marriage and could play emotional games with anyone. It's just that don't think of yourself as a unique hero, there are more men than women in the world. β
Zhu Tong still didn't speak, and only had a preliminary understanding of this opponent who finally appeared; He needed further information. Since Smith can drive Matsui out of the family, he must be a sinister and cunning character, and he is not more than seventy percent sure that a little liar will not shoot directly; Maybe you don't have to do it yourself at all, Yukimi Iike has already started to think.
It is necessary to teach him a lesson, but not to let him see his true intentions and strength.
"Japanese hot springs are as charming as Japanese women, don't you want to soak in them for a while? I think I should give you a piece of advice: I would be glad if you could leave Japan within three days. In return, you will be given a check. Enough for you to live comfortably in China for the rest of your life, and enough money to hire the best doctors to treat you; Even your offspring will be taken care of by this check, if you don't try to live in luxury. β
Smith sat back in the hot springs, watched Zhu Tong get dressed, and admired, "You have a good set of muscles." β
"Mr. Smith, I live only for myself, and I will not be at the mercy of anyone." Zhu Tong finally made a suitable sentence, as the end of the first meeting, he could not be mistaken for a mute.
"That's a pity, I think, Mr. Li is a smart man, and he will consider my suggestion. The best horses are produced at the Temporal Racecourse, a noble sport in which only noble knights can participate; Untrained daredevils who rush on the horse will make a fool of themselves and be ridiculed, and there will be a great risk. β
Zhu Tong was already dressed, smiled at Smith and nodded, coughing and beckoning, and a handsome white horse ran over.
Smith watched as he skilfully mounted his horse and drifted away, a look of confusion on his face. This doctor doesn't seem to be an easy character to deal with; He clearly understood what he meant, and he could still maintain a casual expression, so that a person was either a fool or an adventurer.
Hopefully he's the former, Smith doesn't want to see blood again, and Miss Yukimi will be suspicious. They have been working hard for five years for this plan, and the slightest accident is not allowed. If it fails, the committee will deprive him of his seat, which means that he will be expelled from the table.
"God, he's not a fool." Smith. Watchenberg stroked the silver crocodile ring, confirming his judgment.
Zhu Tong believed in the reins, and was also pondering Smith.
The watch on his wrist was still silent, what was the origin of Smith, so that Qin Keqiang or Lan Zhanjiang had to spend so long to investigate? Before today, Zhu Tong had been confused, but now he understands a little.
Another white horse galloped in, and the rider on the horse was Yukimi Iike, who came as soon as she got the news of Mr. Smith's visit to the hot springs, and just in time to meet Mr. Lee. This was already her fastest speed, and the horse was the only means of transportation on the pasture, and no vehicles were allowed here, except for the carriage.
"Li Jun ......." From the outside, although he couldn't see any unhappiness, Yukimi Iike was still cautious and tentative. This man's temper is really incomprehensible.
"Miss Xuemei, why are you here?" Zhu Tong showed a bright smile, gloomy half of the night, this smile was so gentle.
"Mr. Smith doesn't know the rules, he didn't offend you, did he?" Yukimi Ichi is still not at ease.
"It's nothing, guests are not easy to slacken, I understand Miss Xuemei's difficulties. By the way, is there any news of my cousin? β
"I'll be back in the afternoon, Master Nomura is a little injured, they have found a lot of rare medicinal herbs in the mountains, and Sister Zhu Yuan is sorting them out."
Ichi Yukimi walked slowly with him, and her heart was still up and down; Fortunately, the considerate Li Jun didn't seem to be angry, and he was gentle and elegant all the way back to the villa.
The female living Buddha Qu Sangzhuo Mu really sorted out the herbs in front of the villa, these are all medicinal materials that are effective for asthma and lung diseases, and they are not often found on the market.
"Dear brother, you look better, and lo and behold, for the sake of these medicines we climbed the most precipitous mountain, and found them in a canyon where no one had ever been."
Qusang Zhuom was speaking of an herb that was accompanied by a fir tree, and the reason why it was needed was because of the suggestion of Madame Blue; She had suggested that Zhu Tong be treated with aromatherapy, but there was nothing good to do now anyway, so Zhu Tong agreed to try it.
One of the villas has been transformed into aromatherapy, and Master Hui Heji has also participated, and his small temple is just outside the Tianye Ranch, bringing all the guys to the villa, and doing everything he can to curry favor with Mr. Li.
However, Zhu Tong did not trust Hui Heji, and the aromatherapy was stopped after only two days, and Zhu Tong felt that his role was limited, and he was not comfortable in the hot springs.
After Qusang Zhuomu arrived, he discussed with Hui Heji and suggested the use of aromatherapy again, but the medicine used would be changed. This time, Ichi Yukimi took out the prescription prescribed by Madame Lan.
There are also many mysteries in Tibetan medicine, among which there are aromatherapy-like therapies. As a female living Buddha, Qusang Zhuomu's scriptures of Medicine Buddha are a compulsory course for their branch; She consulted the aromatherapy technique sorted out by Zheng Shurong and the prescription of Mrs. Lan, and after discussing with Bai Jiashu, she decided to go into the mountains to collect medicine.
was supposed to go back to Heji to accompany her, but the master was too old to walk the mountain road; Only then did Nomura Hanami volunteer to take the female living Buddha to the mountains west of Kyoto to collect medicine.
