136 Taipei
On the calm sea, a passenger ship slowly turns into what should have been a busy Pearl Harbor waterway.
Xiao Xiao and Yue'er stood on the deck, looking at the sapphire-like inner harbor in the distance, the corners of their mouths outlined a beautiful arc and at the same time they were also surprised, why is the harbor so calm today?
Thinking about it. Suddenly, a never-before-seen warship flying the flag of the Pacific Navy, under the protection of two escorted destroyers, approached head-on, and quickly passed by the passenger ship.
"Sister, is that our new warship?" Xiao Xiao waved his hand at the warship excitedly and asked Yue'er beside him.
Yue'er was also full of surprise, but she didn't expect that the two of them had only been gone for a few months and added a new warship. Surprised and a little melancholy at the same time, I don't know how long it will take to follow that disciple, and when will I be able to live in peace?
The luxurious Honolulu villa is a little cold today, Fang Xianqi stood in the study of Master Li, looking at the drawings and messy materials on the floor, bending down to clean up and wipe carefully, a feeling of pity rose in his heart for no reason, others may think that Brother Li is infinitely beautiful, but who knows how much he paid in private?
It's been a few months since the last time they met, but not only are the number of times the two meet alone, but before they can get to know each other, he traveled far away again, and he didn't even bother to meet once, and he didn't know if something had happened again.
Sighing softly, Fang Xianqi carefully folded the drawings one by one, and rearranged the materials and books, and was about to leave, suddenly, the corners of his eyes were attracted by a touch of pink on the table.
Pulling open the book pressed on it, he found that it was the silk embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water that he gave to Li Mo, but he didn't expect that he was still pressed under his body when he was working, and suddenly his little face was hot, and he hurriedly prepared to put the silk handkerchief again.
"Young master, Sister Yue'er and I are back."
At this time, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps behind her, followed by a shout of joy, and she couldn't help but shake her hand holding the silk handkerchief slightly, and Jinpa fell on the desk again.
"Are you...... Who? ”
Outside the door, Xiao Xiao and Duan Yue'er, who had just disembarked, didn't expect to push open the door and see that there was another girl in the study, and she was so beautiful, so they were all stunned.
And Fang Xianqi was also slightly shocked, and she didn't expect that she would come over to clean up the study for Li Mo today, and she would meet these two, thinking that her actions just now might have been seen by both of them, and suddenly two red glows flew on her cheeks.
The six eyes were suddenly entangled like this, looking at each other, as if no one was willing to take it back first, Fang Xianqi first observed Duan Yue'er, this was a girl who was completely different from herself, with big eyes, red lips, a slender and beautiful neck, and a appearance that was not inferior to herself at all. At this moment, the upper body is wearing a dress shirt embroidered with lace, and the lower body is straight like a pulp washed hair, and some whitish trousers outline the curves of her lower body, even if she looks at it, she is a little envious.
She has heard that this kind of pants is called jeans, which is the favorite kind of pants of American workers, and now many people in Hawaii wear this, but she is the first time to see a girl wear it, from the effect point of view, it is obviously very amazing, wearing this girl, the more she looks clean and neat.
And the girl next to her who was wearing the same white dress as herself, although her pretty face was still immature, she exuded a charm that was so beautiful that people couldn't bear to take their eyes off, her thin eyebrows were like willows, her eyes were clear and thorough, and her appearance was slightly better than Duan Yue'er in jeans, and more importantly, her body faintly exuded a style that she had only seen in her aunt, could it be?
Looking at the two legendary maids of Young Master Li, Fang Xianqi was suddenly a little deflated, how many girls did he provoke? They are all so beautiful, standing between the two, her proud appearance and temperament are a little stage frightened.
Duan Yue'er on the other side frowned even more, looking at the girl who suddenly appeared in the study, and unprecedented hostility suddenly rose in her heart!
Fang Xianqi in front of her, the first impression is bearing, slim, gentle and gentle, I am afraid that no matter who is facing such a girl, it will feel like a spring breeze, the slightly raised chin always gives people a sense of urgency, the eyes are clear and bright, looking at themselves, as if they can see through people's hearts.
That's not the temperament that you and the little one can have, it's a long stretch, a family with a heritage cultivated, slowly formed a temperament, gentle, supple, but with a unique pride and strength, like a beautiful swan with wings in the wind, standing proudly, lonely and self-appreciative.
Duan Yue'er suddenly had a feeling that she was going to lose, and in the face of such a girl, her only remaining confidence seemed to be disappearing rapidly. And although Xiaoxiao's heart was also slightly sour, he finally thought of someone, and called timidly: "Xiaoxiao has seen the young grandmother." ”
"Young grandma?" Duan Yue'er was stunned for a moment, it turned out that she was the eldest lady Fang Xianqi Fang who she had overheard?!
Seeing that Xiao Xiao wanted to carry his luggage, Fang Xianqi hurriedly took a few steps, supported the other party, and said with a smile: "Xianqi has seen two younger sisters, I heard Brother Li mention you all this time, I didn't expect to meet today, and I didn't prepare anything." ”
The more generous Fang Xianqi became, the more uncomfortable Duan Yue'er's heart became, and when she thought that she went to the United States for him, and Cindy's sister showed up to sell new drugs and make money for him, she felt even more aggrieved, and her eyes couldn't help but turn red, and her heart felt as uncomfortable as a sour apricot plum.
"Yue'er has seen my sister." Duan Yue'er scolded Li Mo half to death in her heart while giving a salute, blaming this annoying big pervert for provoking so many girls, maybe she will call her Mrs. in the future!
Lecher!
Maybe you're hiding in a corner watching the excitement at the moment? Yue'er's eyes moved, searching for the whereabouts of Young Master Li, and suddenly she saw the pink on the table, and her body shook violently!
Seeing Duan Yue'er's eyes wandering at first, and then staring at the table, Fang Xianqi suddenly remembered the Jinpa on the table. I just thought about whether to put it away, but my body didn't move yet, but I changed my mind again, and deliberately took half a step around to make the two of them see more clearly, so I smiled slightly: "Sister, don't look for it, he went out with Brother Duan and Da Zhuang this morning, and said that he would not be able to come back in a few months!" ”
"Gone again!"
Xiaoxiao and Duan Yue'er didn't expect that they would actually pass by Li Mo, and they couldn't care about saying goodbye to the young grandmother in their hearts, and the two pairs of beautiful eyes suddenly filled with mist, and even the handkerchief on the table that was obviously a promise forgot to look at it again.
"Hey......." Seeing the appearance of the two, Fang Xianqi sighed slightly in her heart, and she didn't know whether it was good or bad to follow such a man who was busy going in and out all day long, and who went out for several months without returning? ――
On an April day, cherry blossoms are in full bloom.
Originally, this was the best season for viewing cherry blossoms in Taiwan once a year, but as Master Li inexplicably traveled back to the turning point of this world history, future generations want to see the beautiful scene of the spring breeze blowing and the cherry blossoms flying, and they can probably only go to the book.
Because the era of colonizing Taiwan for 50 years is no longer possible, since the Pacific Fleet led by Master Li to burst the chrysanthemum, it is said that the country's strength has been greatly inferior to before, it is said that in order to raise military expenses and pay off loans, the emperor and his wife can only rely on millet pickles every day.
Although this statement may have been deliberately propagated by those militarists in order to incite emotions and blackmail the people's money, as long as we look at the people who occasionally appear on the streets of Taipei at this moment, who are far more depressed than half a year ago, we can see how much impact this war has on them!
In 1895, Taiwan was the region with the largest number of immigrants in addition to the mainland and the United States, and even though the Korean war had calmed down, the expected wave of immigrants not only did not appear, but a large number of Koreans began to return to China.
Of course, Ryukyu and Hawaii should have been added to this list, but in the autumn wind of Young Master Li's autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, the shadow of Yue himself has basically disappeared from the two places.
Walking behind the young master, Du Dazhuang crossed his hands in his clothes, holding the handle of the gun tightly, as long as a person dressed in a style appeared, it would cause him infinite nervousness. There is no way, now Master Li has become a demon in the eyes of all the people, and he can't eat his flesh and bones, and Taiwan is a region where he has more people, so he, a bodyguard and an eye-catching man, must be vigilant all the time.
In fact, not only Du Dazhuang, including Duan Fei and several elites who were temporarily transferred from the Kekob special service team behind him, although they were all disguised as entourages, looking around because they were curious for the first time, but in fact, they were all eagles and lightning eyes, sweeping over everyone who tried to approach like sharp blades.
Only Master Li, who walked in the middle, looked relaxed, and didn't care about such strict protection, this is not the era of information explosion in later generations, photos are flying all over the sky! It is estimated that even if he stood on the street and shouted that I am Li Mo, he would be considered crazy.
Although Li Mo has never been to Taiwan, but unlike the busy pictures of high-rise buildings in later generations, most of the streets in Taipei at this moment are some two-story brick and wood houses, perhaps close to the south, so the atmosphere is relatively open, not only ordinary people with money rat tails, but also a large number of foreigners dressed in Western clothes and strolling on the streets, and the most special group of them is Yue himself.
They look similar to the Chinese, but they are all neatly dressed, or have short hair, or wear black-brimmed hats, which makes people look very energetic at first glance. Of course, there are also some people in kimonos, just like on TV, holding knives and wearing clogs, and their eyes linger on those girls who are leaning on the hook fence and snorting melon seeds.
Walking on the streets of Taipei, Li Mo seems to have stepped into an old movie, compared to the conservative and stubborn north, the south is obviously much more open, the wine shop and tea house are crowded with people from the south to the north, the fisherman coolie ox cart sedan can be seen everywhere on the street, and occasionally one or two old-fashioned bicycles drive by, making everything feel very fresh.
Starting from the Spanish Dutch, to Zheng Chenggong's recovery of Taiwan, and then to Shi Lang's leadership of the Qing army to recover, in the following years, as the sea power became more and more important, Taiwan's status became more and more important, even in the era of seclusion, many southern merchants also used Taiwan as a transshipment point to secretly conduct foreign trade. In addition, it is close to the South Sea, and it is also a necessary place for shipping from the western Pacific to the Chinese mainland, especially Taipei, which is a window for China to the outside world in modern times.
"To be able to save such a treasure land from the charcoal of my own fifty years, the young master can be regarded as a great deed!" Thinking of this, the corners of Li Mo's mouth hooked slightly, quietly touched Duan Fei, and walked towards the largest tea house next to him.
