Twenty-five (5)
This western-style building has been built for some years, and it still retains the decoration style of ten years ago, the red brick wall, the gable carving pattern on the top has fallen off some, and the window lattices are enamel painted, but the years are old, and the color is a little dull.
There were two stone lions resting in front of the door, also dusty. Shen Qiangrose glanced at it, then followed Qiao Yunhua in, went inside and entered the hall, it was very bright, looking through the floor-to-ceiling windows, she saw that the sky was clear like a blue gem, white clouds were swirling, the green mountains in the distance were like daisies, and there was a murmuring stream below, winding straight into the deep mountains.
The maid had already been ordered to serve refreshments, so the guard politely led the two of them to sit on the sofa, "Please rest for a while." ”
Shen Qiangrose didn't know what the purpose of these individuals was, but since she was sitting here, she could only persuade herself to think better. At present, the situation in the country is tense, and although the wind direction is unanimously resisting Fuso, there are still warlords who want to take advantage of Fuso's power to gain a firm foothold.
In the past, when her father was alive, she often heard about which warlords in the country had taken refuge in Fuso, just to lean on the big trees to enjoy the shade. Independence has been declared here, and Qiao Yunhua deliberately moved out of Fusang, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not do what he likes, so that the overseer will look at it differently.
The more she thought about it, the more upset she felt, how could she not be sure of Qiao Yunhua's intentions, if she wanted to get out of danger as soon as possible, shouldn't she go with Mr. Liao and them? How will they get caught?
When I raised my eyes, I saw Qiao Yunhua holding a teacup and drinking tea, looking calm and relaxed. She didn't understand more and more what his idea was on this trip, and her intuition was related to Su Huiyi, she knew that according to Qiao Yunhua's character, it was difficult to guarantee that she would not put pressure on Su Huiyi with this overseer under the banner of unity.
She didn't know how much power Qiao Yunhua had in Fusang, but in terms of dealing with Su Huiyi these few times, it turned out to be an equal match, and even the third prince was very fond of him.
Thinking like this, I just feel that the person in front of me is very unfathomable.
was stunned, but she heard Qiao Yunhua call her, "Let's take a sip of tea." ”
She didn't want to drink, and she didn't want to face him, so she got up and went to the window, she was uneasy, she didn't want to look at the scenery, but she couldn't figure out the secret, thinking about waiting for the Overseer to come, and she didn't know what it would be like.
Unconsciously, Qiao Yunhua gently blew the tea leaves, although this western-style building is old, but the things used are excellent, the tea cup he is holding in his hand is the antique of the Qianqing Dynasty, and it is exquisitely soaked in Longjing, from the color of tea to the taste of tea, it is just right.
He raised his eyes to look at Shen Qiangrose, and saw her standing by the window, and the sunlight projected in her was dyed with a layer of gold, making her more and more petite and pitiful, and the cheongsam on her body was much wider. He found that she always liked to wear some plain materials, and this peacock blue cheongsam was very dignified on her, and there were a few flowers embroidered on the hem, but the shadow was sufficient, and he didn't really see it.
He watched silently for a moment before getting up and walking over to her, she had lost a lot of weight these days, and her face was almost clear peach blossom jelly, and the white was full of pink color. It's like a child's skin, which can be broken by blowing.
He had seen many beauties before, and she was not the most beautiful one he had ever seen, but the most special one.
Seeing her gaze on himself, he only felt that his heart was hot, and he couldn't help but hug her to his chest, at this moment he seemed to be a person who couldn't speak, and he just wanted to tell her the love for her in his heart, "Rose, I really like you." ”
Where could Shen Qiangrose stand such lightness, she struggled hard, and even her voice changed, "Qiao Yunhua, let go!" ”
She tried her best, and even her cheeks were red, and her voice trembled, "You let go of me." ”
Qiao Yunhua knew her temper, but she didn't follow her for a while, and just hugged her tightly, "Madam, don't forget your identity." ”
Where would Shen Qiangrose think that he would dare to be nonsense at this time, so she stepped on his feet hard, and as soon as he felt pain, he let go of her. She was angry and anxious in her heart, and raised her hand towards his cheek, but he held his arm with one hand, and he also used his strength, but he looked at her silently, and his eyes were as deep as the pool of water in the dark night, as if he was about to surge.
She couldn't help but glance away, pulled back her arm vigorously, and said angrily, "Please be respectful!" ”
Qiao Yunhua looked at her silently, and only after a while did she suddenly laugh, and said in a deep voice: "I used to respect you too much, so I became what I am now!" ”
Shen Qiangrose heard the lightness in these words, but it happened that her reserve as a woman made her only pretend not to hear, she endured it, and then walked to the sofa and sat down, and the floor clock in the hall rang in time, "Dangdang......"
Qiao Yunhua stood in place, he was wearing a decent black suit, the rays of sunlight projected on his cheeks, but it was half-light and half-dark, vaguely revealing a somewhat indisputable expression.
The two of them were in a stalemate for a moment, but they heard the sound of a car outside, followed by the sound of a dog barking, Qiao Yunhua slowed down a little, and saw that the door was pushed open, and a group of attendants walked in with a person in their arms.
That person was Zhang Peiyuan, who had just declared independence, he looked like he was in his forties, and his face and demeanor had that kind of majesty and style, he first glanced at Qiao Yunhua, and then turned to Shen Qiangrose, with a somewhat thoughtful look on his face.
Qiao Yunhua blocked his gaze without showing a trace, stepped forward, and said politely: "Commander Zhang, I really have admired him for a long time." ”
Zhang Peiyuan smiled and said, "Young Master Qiao is too polite, I'm just a mountain overseer, how can my name reach the ears of the famous Young Master Qiao?" ”
Qiao Yunhua saw that he already knew his identity, so he saved the trouble of introducing himself, and said: "I heard my grandfather and father talk about Commander Zhang before, and speaking of which, you are also my elder, and I respect you very much." ”
Zhang Peiyuan listened to his words of ecstasy soup, all of which were on the scene, so he smiled and asked him to sit down, "This time, it is my subordinates who have a unique vision, and they can let me see you in this place where birds don't, I heard that Young Master Qiao has a lot to do with Fusang, I wonder if I can get into your eyes?" ”
Shen Qiangrose listened to these words, but she was right into the guess in her heart, but she observed Zhang Peiyuan, but she didn't look like a simple person, she was afraid that there was some deception in it.
Qiao Yunhua laughed softly, "What Uncle Zhang said, to be honest, this time I came uninvited, since I have revealed my identity, I am here to cooperate with you." ”
He paused, "You also know my relationship with Qishao, he is now arresting me all over the world, I fled here all the way, I feel that there is only Uncle Zhang Zhiyong, and I have the same goal, so I thought about going to the train station to try my luck, but I didn't expect to really run into it, God really helped me." ”
That Zhang Peiyuan is so cunning and cunning, listening to him shake the old bottom clean, but it is not easy to judge the truth in this, he turned to look at Shen Qiangrose, remembered the ridiculous things Qiao Yunhua did, and understood a little in his heart, so he smiled and said politely: "Since you call me Uncle Sheng, then no one can hurt you when you reach my realm, you can rest assured." ”
Qiao Yunhua saw that the timing was about the same, but it was time to say something good, so he said: "Uncle Zhang, you have also seen my special pass, which was personally approved by Fujita Daisa, the commander-in-chief of Fusang's operation, I used to study in Fusang, and I happened to worship under his door, although I am not his high apprentice, but it is also his weight, this time I went north, it was to take over the arms trade there." ”
He smiled, "As long as Uncle Zhang can help me go north, the benefits of this will naturally be indispensable to you." ”
Zhang Peiyuan couldn't help but show joy when he heard this, and he had a calculation in his heart, if he could catch the line of arms trading in Fusang, he would not only solve the current crisis, but also fill the military spending. He said, "My nephew is so happy! ”
He wanted to say something more, but when he looked at Shen Qiangrose, he smiled, "The two of you have been in the dust all the way, and now you are tired, go and rest, and I will pick up the wind and wash the dust for you later." ”
Qiao Yunhua also knew that some words were no longer convenient to say, so he responded, and said a few polite words to Zhang Peiyuan, and then took Shen Qiangrose upstairs. He knew that Zhang Peiyuan would send someone to spy on them, but the current situation was difficult to distinguish, and he could only take one step at a time.
The maid led the two to the guest room on the second floor and went downstairs. Shen Qiangrose entered the room and asked in a low voice, "You just said that you went to the north this time to take over Fusang's arms business, is this true?" ”
Qiao Yunhua closed the door gently, walked to the sofa and sat down silently, without saying a word. When Shen Qiangrose saw him like this, she knew that he had acquiesced, but she couldn't help but feel awkward in her heart, so she walked up to him and asked coldly: "At that time, you told me that your own people on the national map beat your own people, and the warlords only cared about dividing up the territory, when you said this, I thought you had a pure heart, and it was heartache for the current situation!" But you're still working hard for the Fuso people! Be their lackey! It's crazy! ”
Qiao Yunhua also seemed to be enraged, "I'm just doing business, what do you think Su Huiyi is a good person?" What kind of person do you think Su Shengbai is? But it's all for their own benefit! It's good to say verbally, but it's incompatible with Fuso! Don't you still do some shady things behind your back! ”
When Shen Qiangrose heard this, she couldn't help but feel uncomfortable, "Do you know that this is a traitor?" ”
"The country is torn apart, what else do you say about betraying the country?" Qiao Yunhua smiled indifferently, "I advise you to see the current situation clearly." ”
He said this, and when he saw her standing opposite, he couldn't say a lovely pitiful. He got up, stopped talking for a moment, turned and walked out.
Shen Qiangrose thought that she was just a woman, and she couldn't wait to carry a gun and resist Fusang when the country was in danger, but there were so many people who betrayed their country and compatriots for immediate interests! The more she thought about it, the more she felt a chill in her heart, now in the Yongzhou territory, that Zhang Peiyuan was a ruthless character at first glance, no matter what he discussed with Qiao Yunhua, it was just a similar smell!
It's not uncommon for Qiao Yunhua to save her in this way, it's better to die clean! But thinking like this, it is inevitable that some children are long-sighted, looking out the window at the green mountains and green waters, and the flowers are splendid.
I just think it's very unsightly.
