The summer in Shu is particularly hot, and Poxi has lived and grown up in Zhao since he was a child, and it is extremely hot in summer, so he doesn't feel uncomfortable when he gets used to it.

Although the sun is shining, the summer breeze is also cool. Perxi was lying on the chaise longue under the peach tree, her eyes closed faintly, and the three tiger cubs were leaning on her side and napping as usual. I don't know if it's because the breeze is blowing comfortably or because of the fragrance of fresh peaches, the corners of her mouth are always smiling.

A plain white dress was blown by the gentle afternoon breeze. Duguqing came to the backyard Taoyuan from the front store, and what he saw was such a picture of a peach beauty. She couldn't help but sigh: "It turns out that the beauty is not born from the womb, it should be the poetry of the peach blossom tree is such a picture, God, so beautiful!! ”

"That's nature, I haven't seen a woman more beautiful than our little fairy until now." Liu Chang suddenly appeared beside Duguqing with a proud face, startling Duguqing.

"Can you walk a little bit?"

"People who practice martial arts are like this, not to mention that you are too involved in watching it yourself."

Dugu Qing pursed his lips with a little envy, and then said, "Oh, yes, Sun Mo just told me that Xuanyuan Daokang will be here soon, let's prepare first." ”

Dugu asked Sun Mo to rush back to Ba and send a letter to Xuanyuan Daokang earlier, saying that he had something to ask him to come to Shu to meet and discuss with the prince of the Feng family, and asked him to come here. After receiving the letter, Xuanyuan Daokang didn't think much about it and set off to Shudi, seeing that it was about to arrive.

Duguqing originally wanted to tell Poxi about this, but she didn't wake her up when she saw that Poxi seemed to be asleep, and she was reluctant to wake her up, because the picture was too beautiful.

However, the beauty that Duguqing couldn't bear to break made Perxi click on the ripples herself, she didn't actually fall asleep, she just closed her eyes and thought about things.

She opened her eyes, got up and smiled quietly and walked towards Duguqing. Dugu Qing also smiled brightly and approached Perxi: "We woke you up?" ”

"No, I didn't fall asleep in the first place, I just lay down in the shade of a tree, so I was lazy."

"You're so lazy, my dear, you don't know how beautiful you look when you're lying down, but unfortunately you can't click to take a picture of it, haha!"

"It's nonsense again, Sun Mo said that you didn't kill yourself when you were martyred, and it became strange when you woke up, I don't think it's strange, it's crazy." For Duguqing's strangeness, Liu Chang is always the first to pour cold water.

"Hmph, I'm too lazy to explain to you, our generation gap spans more than 2,000 years, and you don't understand it."

"Sister Qing has arranged everything?" For everything about Dugu Qing, Poxi has always shown respect, and she doesn't care if Dugu Qingqi is not strange, she only knows that everything is good for her sincerity.

"Well, I asked someone to arrange a table of banquets, let's sit down and wait, Xuanyuan Daokang should be there soon, we will be chatting for a while, and let him join by chance. And I also asked people to invite Feng Daicheng together, they have already had contacts with each other, and they also know each other, it is better to invite one gentleman into the urn than to invite two gentlemen to come in and stew together, it is easier to see who is right and who is wrong. ”

"Dugu, sometimes I think you're really smart, if you have a little bit of a woman's reserve, you're really impeccable."

"Cut, if Miss Ben had been reserved, she would have been killed a long time ago, do you think that the Dugu family is so big, I can take it over alone, if I don't make a drastic move, can I take charge of the Dugu family?"

Po Xi couldn't help but look at Duguqing and Liu Chang's cookie-cutter bickering again, and the three of them happily walked to the wine table prepared by the next person and prepared to sit down, and saw Sun Mo come to report that Xuanyuan Daokang had arrived. So Liu Chang stood beside Poxi in a regular manner, and Poxi and Duguqing sat down and waited for Xuanyuan Daokang.

Duguqing said to Sun Mo: "Bring him over quickly." ”

Sun Mo replied "yes" and went out again, and after a while, when he came back again, Poxi saw two young and handsome men behind him, one of whom was dressed and born with an aristocratic atmosphere, and it was not difficult to guess that he was Xuanyuan Daokang. The other, who was stronger and straighter, with a long sword, should be the guard who protected Xuanyuan Daokang.

"Ah, I'm here so soon, it's the road, come and drink the peach blossom demon brewed by our Yingfeng Pavilion to relieve fatigue." Dugu Qing glanced at Xuanyuan Dao Kang and didn't even get up. Instead, Perxi wanted to get up and salute but was stopped by her: "Don't be so troublesome, he doesn't mind." ”

Xuanyuan Daokang was really not angry when he heard this, and said with a smile: "You are the only one in the whole Bashu who doesn't take me seriously." ”

Xuanyuan Daokang is also not formal, and he casually finds a seat and sits down. He looked at Perxi, and his eyes lit up: "What a fair fairy has fallen into the dust, and Kyushu Fandel has lost her face." After he sighed, he asked Dugu Qing again: "Dugu Niangzi, when did you recognize such a peach blossom beauty?" ”

"I met on the way to Shudi, called Xiaoxi, God has mercy, send me a good sister, hehe!"

"It seems that you are very close to each other. Since she is the sister of Dugu Niangzi, she is naturally also my sister, and if you need help in Bashu in the future, just ask. I, Xuanyuan Dao Kang, will definitely give to it if I can. Xuanyuan Daokang looked at Perxi with a smile in his eyes, and said a little mischievously and generously.

"King Ba is gracious, Xiaoxi is heartfelt, today Sister Tuoqing is fortunate to know King Ba, and I am already grateful. If there is really difficulty, it is indispensable to be cheeky and disturb King Ba. ”

There are no great ups and downs in the praise and kindness of King Ba, but I feel that King Ba is not like a hidden face in the darkness that people can't see clearly, but more like a shadow under Lang Lang, which is clear at a glance.

"Good to say, good to say, hey, hey, hey!" Xuanyuan Daokang looked at Dugu Qing after laughing: "Dugu Niangzi, you asked me to come to Shu without any difficulty, didn't you just want me to know your beautiful sister?" ”

"Of course not, I'm looking for you to ask for a favor that saved your life back then."

"Well, I said five years ago that I wanted to take you as the princess of Ba, I promised you that you don't want it, and you don't lack money, how can I repay your favor?"

"Wait a minute, Feng Shizi hasn't arrived yet, as long as he is also there, my matter can be better resolved."

"Hey, you don't fancy Feng Daicheng, knowing that I have a little friendship with him, and specially asked me to be a matchmaker, right?" Xuanyuan Daokang looked crying and mourning, looking at Duguqing, afraid that Duguqing would answer him "yes".

"I think he's going to have to wait until now? No brains. ”

"Oh, that's good, as long as you don't like him, it's easy to say anything."

Dugu Qing didn't bother to answer again, and when she talked about her relationship with Xuanyuan Daokang, she had to go back to ten years ago. At that time, she had just come to this era, and after waking up from suicide, she forced herself to adapt to what she thought was a ghost place.

One day, I went out to swim the river with my maid, and saw a little boy fall into the river from a luxurious boat, and no one noticed it. Dugu Qing saw him struggling, and at first glance, he couldn't swim, so she jumped down to save him without thinking about it.

The maid who followed her thought that she couldn't think of jumping into the river to commit suicide. So he shouted for help, which attracted the attention of the people on the luxury cruise ship, and when he saw that there was still his own son-in-law, he was so frightened that he hurriedly rescued the two of them on the boat together.

However, Duguqing was fine, Xuanyuan Daokang was completely unconscious, and everyone shouted to the heavens and the earth, thinking that their family was going to be gone.

Dugu Qing pushed everyone away, pressed his hands on Xuanyuan Daokang's chest, and then stopped to hold his head high, opened his mouth, lowered his head and blew mouth-to-mouth, everyone was embarrassed, and felt that she was rescuing, and they didn't dare to disturb. After going back and forth a few times, Xuanyuan Daokang finally vomited a large mouthful of river water and woke up.

Later, Xuanyuan Daokang found Dugu Qing who saved him, knowing that she had just married Dugu and became a widow. Seeing that Duguqing was quite good-looking, Xuanyuan Daokang, who was only ten years old, announced loudly that he was going to marry her as the wife of the prince.

This frightened the Dugu family, thinking that the daughter-in-law who had just entered the door was going to be robbed by the prince of Badi. The prince wants people, how dare they say no to a small merchant family. Who knows, Duguqing slapped Xuanyuan Daokang on the head in front of everyone, and said: "Dead boy who has not dried up, Miss Ben can't look down on you, so go coolly." ”

The guards who protected Xuanyuan Daokang saw that their family was beaten, and stepped forward to hold Dugu Qing angry and shouted at her boldness. The little Xuanyuan Daokang kicked at the guard and scolded: "You are bold, don't you know that she is the person who this son of the world has a crush on, and it is your turn to teach you a lesson?" The guard didn't reply, quickly let go of Duguqing, and stayed aside in a daze, not daring to be presumptuous.

After that, Xuanyuan Daokang went to Duguqing when he had nothing to do, saying that he wanted to cultivate his feelings while waiting for him to grow up before marrying her. Dugu Qing only treated him as a child and played around, and the ghost knew that after he inherited the throne of King Ba when he was fifteen years old, he immediately sent countless gold, silver and jewelry to Duguqing's house, saying that it was a dowry for marrying Duguqing. This made the entire Badi people spread overnight that Duguqing was going to ascend to the sky in one step, from a widow to a princess of Badi on the branches.

Dugu Qing was so depressed that he personally led people to carry those so-called dowries to the Ba Palace. Seeing Xuanyuan Daokang, after asking him to withdraw all his subordinates, he picked up the wooden stick in his hand and chased after Xuanyuan Daokang and raised his hand to fight. Xuanyuan Daokang's own martial arts are not weak, I don't know if he thinks it's fun or afraid of hurting Duguqing, so he just hides and doesn't fight back.

In the end, after Dugu Qingyi rejected him with righteous words, Xuanyuan Daokang never messed around like this again. It's just that in the years that followed, Xuanyuan Daokang still got very close to Duguqing, and even helped Duguqing open up a lot of business. Among them, the line of the Feng family in Shu was helped by Xuanyuan Daokang.

At that time, although the Dugu family had their own mining rights for iron ore and dansha, the sales of Badi alone could not rise, so Duguqing wanted to transport the goods out of Badi to sell. In this way, Xuanyuan Daokang helped her and the Shu Di Feng family to lead her to the line.

The first impression of Xuanyuan Daokang is actually quite similar to Duguqing in some aspects, they are all the same informal, cheerful, straightforward, and not shy away from being indecent at all.

As soon as the three of them finished drinking the second cup of the Peach Blossom Demon, they saw a subordinate on the wooden corridor leading Feng Daicheng over.

Po Xi raised his eyes and looked at Feng Daicheng, who had already arrived. Unlike Xuanyuan Daokang's heartiness, Feng Daicheng gives people a restrained and calm temperament, and he is a few years older than Xuanyuan Daokang.

"It turns out that King Ba is also here, Miss Dugu, is this to create an opportunity for our two friends who haven't seen each other for a few years to contact each other?" Feng Daicheng finished speaking with almost no smile and looked at Perxi who was sitting together, his eyebrows jumped, and he asked casually, "Who is this young lady?" ”

"Ah, I forgot to introduce, this is my sister I know, my own person, first, I want to discuss something with you, and second, there are many people, and I will have a small party by the way." After speaking, she found that everyone was looking at her, and she shrugged her shoulders: "It means a wine tasting and exchange party." ”

"Wine tasting is easy to say, but what is the matter to discuss?" Feng Daicheng said as he took the initiative to sit down. Dugu Qing thoughtfully poured a glass of wine and put it in front of him.

"What else can it be, of course, it is a matter of continuing to transport goods. I think about it carefully, I not only lost so many goods, but also compensated your Feng family a lot of money. I admit to losing money, but I have to find a way to find those damned bandits, my people were wounded and killed by them, and I have to avenge them. ”

"Dugu Niang, do you want us to help you find bandits?" Xuanyuan Daokang looked at her amusedly.

"It's really up to you to settle this matter together."

"This son has already sent people to search around there, and there is no trace of bandits. But just in case, since we need the goods, the next time you deliver the goods, I will send more people to pick them up, so that even if someone wants to grab them, they will be a little more afraid. What does Miss Dugu think? ”

"No traces? How is it possible, so many iron ores and dansha are not one or two cars. Besides, it's best to find the goods, but I mainly want to find those turtle grandsons so that I can help my people vent their anger. ”

"Dugu Niangzi, you are too good at calling me, even if there are bandits, it is also in the place of Shudi, and it is not my turn to take care of it."

"You also have the responsibility to help me solve the problem, don't forget, the taxes that my Dugu family has paid to you all these years have filled your treasury, you don't have to do anything, you have a lot of money to collect, you are the legendary exploiter. If you take so much of my taxes, you have to keep my business running smoothly, or don't collect the taxes I pay, then you have nothing to do. ”

"Hey, blame me, I spoiled you to be lawless, I am the king of the land, and you will be arrogant to collect taxes. I said a long time ago, as long as you marry me, isn't it all ours whether you are taxed or not? ”

"Don't get off the hook, do you want to help me find the bandits? Originally, I wanted to find it myself, this is not a rule of Qin law, ordinary people, family soldiers cannot exceed 100, and I can't support so many people if I have money. You are all nobles of Bashu, and the soldiers are enough, as long as you help me with this, King Ba can continue to take a lot of taxes from me, Feng Shizi can increase the supply volume, and reduce the cost by 20% for you, how about it? ”

"This deal is very cost-effective, and there is no reason why this son should not agree." Feng Daicheng pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled.

Although Xuanyuan Daokang didn't care whether he agreed or not, he felt that Duguqing should have other purposes, but he didn't know what she was thinking. Thinking that it was rare for her to ask him to help, and it was within his power, why not?

If Xuanyuan Daokang wanted to marry Duguqing on a whim when he was a child, then he really wants to marry now. With more and more contact over the years, he did fall in love with Duguqing, who was five years older than him. Her uniqueness and intelligence, daring deeds made him more and more fascinated. It's just that no matter how he hooks up, even if he tries to make himself more responsible, and tries to prove his sincerity to her, Duguqing still doesn't treat him as a man, and always treats him as a young confidant.

It was this feeling that he couldn't do anything that made Xuanyuan Daokang very helpless, but he inexplicably wanted to continue to wait. I just don't know if I can wait until the day when he can really spoil her.

Dugu Qing saw that the two seemed to agree, and poured wine for everyone, so he said first: "Then it's decided, as long as this matter is solved quickly, the business of the Dugu family and the Feng family will continue to flourish, and the king of Ba will continue to reap the benefits of the fisherman, and no one owes anyone anything." ”

"Miss Dugu is thoughtful, but this son can't guarantee that Miss Dugu can be satisfied with the result, the Bashu region is deep in the mountains and dense forests, and the bandits are deliberately hiding, so it's probably not so easy to find people. Or maybe they just robbed for a moment, exchanged the goods for money and dispersed, so that they couldn't find anyone even more, didn't they? ”

"Shizi is right, this possibility cannot be ruled out, but you have to look for it first to know whether to give up, I am a businessman, those goods are enough for me to raise a large family for several years, and if it is like this, I have to do something to know if it is worth my effort."

Feng Daicheng raised his eyebrows and didn't say anything more, and then, several people began to talk about other inconsequential topics, but they had their own plans in their hearts.

Dugu Qing didn't have to think about it to know that in the end, the result that Feng Dai gave was naturally not found. And Xuanyuan Daokang doesn't seem to have anything to do with this matter, whether he can find any results, and no one guarantees which way his results are going, so now he can only wait and see what happens.

And although Perxi kept pretending not to speak, her heart was transparent, and she inadvertently glanced at Feng Daicheng, and always felt that there was some familiar feeling in him. But if you think about it, they shouldn't have seen it, maybe it's because they're too careful.
