Chapter 558: Heroic Beauty
Ou Lingtian, the king of Huashan, didn't bring anyone, only Shen Sirui and a few family members, Shen Sirui is the most harmless girl in the "Huashan Black Dragon", she doesn't know martial arts, she is naturally weak, and she looks sweet, which is diametrically opposed to her sister Shen Mengrui's personality. Shen Sirui did not inherit her parents' tough temperament, but inherited their wisdom. Ou Lingtian had already seen this, the little girl was quiet on the surface, but in fact, she was rich in her heart, and she couldn't hide anything from her discerning eyes.
Shen Sirui inadvertently told him about Hangzhou's "Tingtao Chess Academy" and "Yalan Hotel", when she was plundered by the "Lake Demon" Jin Feng to the West Lake as a hostage and almost lost her life. Being swept to the bottom of the lake by goblins and replaced by ordinary girls would have been scared to death a long time ago, but Shen Sirui was not only intact, but her face did not change when she mentioned this matter, and her heart did not beat, it seemed that she enjoyed the process very much. Let Ou Lingtian see her extraordinary.
In addition, Shen Sirui once euphemistically said that Hangzhou's "Yalan Hotel" is located in the West Lake, and if it continues to expand its business, it will be a cash cow for "Huashan Black Dragon". It can be used as a good intelligence station, and it can also increase the income of the cottage, killing two birds with one stone. Why not. It's a pity that Ou Lingtian didn't care about it at the time, but now that he thinks about it, Shen Sirui has long seen that doing business is a good way, so Ou Lingtian thinks that this girl is not simple.
What Shen Sirui lacks now is only practical experience, Ou Lingtian is ready to take her out to exercise, Lin Feilan also agrees, Shen Sirui is not as willful as her sister Shen Mengrui, she usually likes to read and write, she is smart and clear, she is a talented woman, and she is a very good assistant with a little training. It's just that what Ou Lingtian didn't expect was that Shen Sirui entered the mall like a fish in water and became a hot businessman in the capital, and even the great eunuch Liu Jing was in awe.
General Zhan Guocheng's Mansion is in an inconspicuous place in Shiyan, a few miles away from the General's Mansion is the military camp, stationed guarding the Ming army in Shiyan City, they are highly disciplined. Very few disturbances happen. Zhan Guocheng's residence is not luxurious, there are soldiers standing at the gate of the courtyard, standing straight with knives and guns, all majestic and murderous. Seeing Ou Lingtian, they immediately stepped forward and asked, "May I ask who you are, and what are you doing here at the General's Mansion?"
Ou Lingtian took out the prepared fold and handed it to the soldier and said, "Please please report it, just say that Ou Lingtian, the prefect of Shiyan, came to visit General Zhan." ”
The soldiers did not dare to slack off, and after a while, the courtyard door was opened, and a group of soldiers trotted out and stood in two lines, and then a middle-aged man with a tall man and a tall horse walked out. Qi Yu Xuanang, walking with a gust of wind, came to Ou Lingtian's side in a blink of an eye, clasped his hands into fists and said: "Weichen didn't know that Lord Ou was coming, and he missed the distance, please forgive Lord Ou." ”
Ou Lingtian carefully looked at this arrogant general, and saw that he had a majestic figure and a bronze complexion. The facial features are as clear as a carving, especially the eyes that are as bright as cold stars under the sword eyebrows, revealing the arrogant nature of the ice in his heart. Even the apology seems different, and I can't hear the slightest sincerity.
King Huashan smiled slightly, he likes such people, and he is ambitious. Straight to the point, unlike those traitors who are docile on the surface but have a knife in their smile, you will never know what is going on in their hearts. This Zhan Guocheng was angry with himself, and Ou Lingtian replied with a smile: "General Zhan is serious. It was my Ou Lingtian who came to visit in a hurry and disturbed the general's business, and I hope the general will forgive me. ”
Zhan Guocheng was a little surprised. He didn't expect King Huashan to be so gentle, and he couldn't see the slightest anger on his face, on the contrary, he was modest and cautious, as if he was really afraid of delaying his own affairs. As soon as I relaxed, my attitude immediately softened, and a smile appeared on my face. He said, "Lord Ou, please." ”
Ou Lingtian and Zhan Guocheng entered the General's Mansion together, and as he walked, he looked around, the entire General's Mansion was arranged like a small military camp, with martial arts training grounds, barracks, swords, guns, swords, halberds neatly arranged, ready to be picked up for battle. The main wing room is the living room, and there are also weapons, which are really swords and swords, and they are waiting for it. Shen Sirui looked at it expressionlessly, without a trace of fear, calm and relaxed, which made Zhan Guocheng feel strange.
The woman in front of her was wearing a light blue gauze dress with a white light gauze on her shoulders, and the breeze blew, giving people a feeling of fluttering immortals. A jet-black green silk was scattered on his shoulders, and there was no trace of powder on his soft face, and his expression revealed a faint firmness and fearlessness. Looking at her weak figure, Zhan Guocheng knew that this woman was weak and could never do martial arts, I heard that the women under Ou Lingtian were all heroines, the "Glacier Saintess" Ou Hanbing not to mention, as well as the "Ice Demon" Ou Yibing and the "Snow Demon" Ou Xibing, the "Chess Saint" Ji Qingrui, the "Narcissus" Xue Nanyan, the "Sword God" Shen Mengrui and other martial arts are outstanding, and the "Female Butcher" Bai Qingying and Bai Qinglian sisters are even more murderous, and even the men are terrified when they see them. How could this woman have no martial arts at all, and what did King Huashan take her to do.
Maybe it was because she guessed Zhan Guocheng's thoughts, Shen Sirui glared at him fiercely, Zhan Guocheng's heart suddenly fluctuated with ripples, it should be said that her eyes are the most beautiful place, a pair of clear and beautiful big eyes, as if a clear spring flows, even when she is angry, it is also impressive, and there is an indescribable charm. made Zhan Guocheng dare not look directly.
Shen Sirui laughed secretly, this handsome man looked menacing at first, but he was defeated in only one round. The collision between heroes and beauties often fails mostly of majestic men. Since ancient times, heroes have been sad to pass the beauty pass, and it seems that this Zhan Guocheng is no exception.
Sitting down in the living room, Shen Sirui soon found a very interesting thing, the people in the General's Mansion who even served water and poured tea were soldiers, all men, and there were no women. Even Ou Lingtian saw it and looked at Zhan Guocheng with an inquiring gaze. General Zhan Guocheng's expression darkened, and he whispered: "My wife died of illness a few years ago, and when I was dying, I was fighting on the border, and I didn't even have the opportunity to meet. After his wife's death, he had no intention of continuing the strings. I don't have any children, so I've been living alone, and it's fine. ”
Ou Lingtian nodded: "I'm really sorry for accidentally reminding the general of the past." However, good men are ambitious in all directions, and the matter of children's love can be temporarily slowed down, and the relationship is not clear. It's hard to find. ”
Shen Sirui didn't want to listen to it, and said: "I don't like to listen to what Uncle Ou said, it's right that a good man has ambitions in all directions." But the man should get married, and the woman should get married. A general who fights in the north and south should have a virtuous helper who knows pain and heat, so that he can understand why he is throwing his head and spilling blood. Only those who are worthy of their own thoughts will be better able to kill and take captives on the battlefield and protect themselves. Because he knew that his wife and son were in the autumn wind in the window, and the tent was fluttering. Looking up at the bright moon, I feel the feelings of longing. Why bother 'to cover the empty seat with dust, and cover the empty bed with a lonely tent.' Everything is endless, and the survivors are hurt in vain. 'What?"
Shen Sirui's words made Zhan Guocheng secretly surprised, he looked at this strange beauty in front of him for a long time, and there was a little more respect and goodwill in his eyes. Shen Sirui's face flushed slightly. Ou Lingtian looked at them with great interest, heroic beauty, isn't it good. General Zhan Guocheng is also worthy of Shen Sirui in terms of age and qualifications.
King Huashan and General Zhan got to the point, and when it came to the "Great Sword General" Zhu Cheng, Zhan Guocheng was full of respect and said to Ou Lingtian: "Lord Ou, the teacher has already mentioned you to me. I have heard about Lord Ou for a long time, the king of Huashan is bright and fair, his strength is extraordinary, and he has defeated the Ming army several times. won the title of overlord in the Wudang Mountain Martial Arts Competition, and he is really a hero in the world. Zhan admired. Since adults and teachers are friends, adults' affairs are my affairs, and Zhan Mourong should serve. ”
Ou Lingtian shook his head and said: "The general misunderstood, I, Ou Lingtian, now say that I am eating the imperial court's Yulu and serving as the prefect of Shiyan. But the Holy One is still wary of us today. Ou Lingtian will not embarrass the general and let you do something against your will. The general observed the public opinion in Shiyan and won the hearts of the people. The security of Shiyan is handed over to the general, I can rest assured. ”
Zhan Guocheng was very happy, clasped his hands into fists and said, "Thank you Lord Ou for your trust." You are the prefect of Shiyan and the local parent official, the army naturally listens to the dispatch of adults, and Zhan is duty-bound. ”
Ou Lingtian waved his hand and said, "General Zhan knows that I am now the prefect of Shiyan and the overlord of martial arts. The rivers and lakes are eventful, and the fish and eyes are mixed. The Han River is also a major transportation artery of the waterway, and I heard that the Han River has been going on and bandits have been rampant recently, and the general is very embarrassed, isn't he?"
Zhan Guocheng nodded: "The garrison of Shiyan is not good at water warfare, and the water bandits specially hijack the barge that transports official salt, and Lord Liu Jing and Lord Liu have sent troops to encircle and suppress it several times, with little effect. The iron industry and the salt industry are both important substances controlled by the state. I'm stepping up my training for water masters, but the water can't quench my thirst. ”
Ou Lingtian said: "The general doesn't have to worry, leave the water bandits to me to deal with, I promise to clear the Han River bandits within a year early, and return the general a peaceful river area." What do you think?"
Zhan Guocheng was silent, he believed that Ou Lingtian would do what he said, and it was not easy to exterminate a few water bandits with the strength of the "Huashan Black Dragon". But Zhan Guocheng is not a reckless man, he understands what Ou Lingtian meant, suppressing bandits is just an excuse, there are countless merchant ships on the Han River, and there are huge profits, who doesn't want to intervene. Especially the salt industry is now in the hands of the great eunuch Liu Jing, and it is profitable. King Huashan wants to get a piece of the pie, now is the right time, place and people, it is the opportunity to show his ambitions, can he let it go.
If he agrees to him, he will inevitably offend Liu Jing, and if he doesn't agree, it will be against his teacher's affection. In a dilemma, Zhan Guocheng was hesitant.
Ou Lingtian smiled slightly and said, "The general is afraid that Lord Liu Jing and Lord Liu will blame him, this is not necessary. You and I both know who Liu Jing is, and if the grievances are too deep, there will naturally be disasters. Liu Jing will be dealt with by me, and the general doesn't have to worry about it.
