Yuan Rong clenched his fists and said angrily, “That beast. I…I am going to see him.” He got up and prepared to leave, but after he took only a few steps, Yang Ning asked impassively, “Who are you going to see? Ding Yitu? Are you planning to fight against him or reason with him?”
“I…”
Yang Ning sneered. “You are a young master in the mansion of the minister in the Ministry of Rites, yet you want to fight against the manager of the Rising Sun Escort Agency. What can you do even if you win, not to mention whether you have the ability?”
Yuan Rong was stunned.
Yang Ning stated slowly, “You know more about Ding Yitu’s strength than me. This is a battle and the victory can’t be decided after only one fight.” He smiled faintly and added, “Yuan Rong, I will say something that you don’t want to hear. You, a young master in the mansion of the minister in the Ministry of Rites, probably can’t compare with the manager of the Rising Sun Escort
Yuan Rong laughed. “It turns out that you prepare to boost Shen Jiaonu. All of you are billionaires. Not to mention that you four join hands, it’s not difficult for any of you to boost a queen beauty.”Chen Mukuan laughed in a braying voice. “In fact, I hope that somebody will compete with us. If we win easily, it will be boring.”Yuan Rong looked around. There were many pleasure-boats around the boat king, and the guests in these boats were wealthy or powerful. The river was wide, but when all the boats surrounded it, it was inconvenient for them to move.By the Qinhuai River, there were also many people and bright lights.The election of the beauty queen was an annual grand occasion on the Qinhuai River, yet few people could afford to join it. Somebody once said that the election of the beauty queen was not a competition among the beautiful and talented girls but the rich men who had a big fortune.They spent gold on
It was silent at night, and the lights were soft, while many people’s hearts were tense.Chen Mukuan snorted and said in a braying voice, “It turns out that he has come, too. Dudes, do you think that we should admit defeat or play with him?”Jiang Cheng frowned slightly. “It appears that Jiang Suiyun is determined to win.”“Jiang Suiyun?” Yang Ning turned to Yuan Rong and asked, “Who is he?”Hearing Yang Ning’s question, the others couldn’t help but look at him in astonishment. It seemed that they should know Jiang Suiyun, while this question was surprising.Yuan Rong explained, “Young Master Jiang from East Sea, Jiang Suiyun is from the Jiang family on East Sea. The Jiang family does business on the sea. The family master Jiang Xiaoqing has a boat team with dozens of boats. If there is a family with more money than the country in the Chu State, it must be the Jiang family.”“They have more money than the
A big luxurious table was put on the deck of the boat, with more than ten beautiful maids serving around it. Three people were drinking wine and toasting each other at the table. When Zhu Yuchen and the others arrived, the three glanced at them.Yang Ning glanced at the three, too.He saw that the one facing him was his acquaintance, Dou Lianzhong, a son of the minister in the Ministry of Revenue, and he had seen the one on the left earlier, the manager of the Rising Sun Escort Agency, Ding Yitu. The one on the right was dressed in a purple brocade fur coat, with a white hat made of fox skin, about thirty years old, looking like a man from a wealthy family.Dou Lianzhong glanced at Zhu Yuchen and the others with a sneer. When he saw Yang Ning, he was stunned, and his expression changed.Yang Ning didn’t stare at the three at the table but saw that somebody faced the river surface by the side of the boat not far away behind the thre
Seeing that Dou Lianzhong was at a disadvantage, Jiang Suiyun sneered and stated casually, “You have a silver tongue. Are you covering up for them?”“Shut up!” Yang Ning immediately looked at Jiang Suiyun and sneered. “You, Jiang Suiyun, how dare you not kneel down after seeing me? Do you want to rebel?”“Me…” Jiang Suiyun was astonished. “Why should I kneel to you?”Duan Canghai had kept calm silently all the time. Now he finally took two steps forward and stated, “You are a civilian. How dare you not kneel down after seeing Marquis of Honor?”Jiang Suiyun was stunned. The manager of the Rising Sun Escort Agency Ding Yitu didn’t come over but just sat at the table drinking wine all the time. Hearing Duan Canghai’s words, his hand trembled slightly, and he turned to them, with his eyes becoming sharp.Zhu Yuchen and the others were involved in the dispute. After knowing Dou Lianzhong’s identity, all of them were scared
Ding Yitu didn’t speak, while Dou Lianzhong came over, saying casually, “Manager Ding works in an escort agency and travels around the world depending on his connections, and he knows countless people. However, in my opinion, there are many people who know Manager Ding, yet he may not remember all of them.”Yang Ning didn’t argue but asked with a smile, “Master Dou, I have heard that many pleasure boats on the Qinhuai River belong to you. Is it true?”“So what?” Dou Lianzhong asked in reply.Yang Ning replied while smiling, “Nothing.” Then he turned to Yuan Rong, asking, “Yuan Rong, does the pleasure boat where Pearl is belong to Master Dou, too?”Before Yuan Rong answered, Dou Lianzhong stated, “Right, that pleasure boat is mine. Xue from the Treasures House owed me a lot of money due to poor management those years, and that guy wanted to evade debts after dying, but it’s an unquestionable moral truth that if you owe somebody mone
Yang Ning and the others were undamaged. After they came back to Pearl’s pleasure boat, Zhu Yuchen and his friends finally seemed to wake up and came back to reality. They were about to kneel down and salute him, while Yang Ning expressed with a smile, “If I wanted you to kneel down, wouldn’t I reveal my identity earlier? It’s the election of the beauty queen tonight and we just want to have fun here. Since we are sitting together, it’s our fate. Don’t stand on ceremony.”Zhu Yuchen stated with gratitude, “Marquis, you are heroic and have saved us. If it weren’t for you, we might…”Yang Ning responded, “Don’t thank me. They even took me away with you. Otherwise, I might not get involved in it.”In fact, they were clear that even though the heir of Duke of Huainan was of an honorable position, the status of the Marquis of Honor was also extraordinary. At least, the heir of Duke of Huainan didn’t dare to take actions against the Marquis of Honor
Suddenly, they heard sounds of gong and then a voice from the boat king. “Now I will announce that the result of the selected beauty queen and concubines has come out...”It was silent around.Most people didn’t know what happened in the two pleasure boats where Yang Ning and the heir of Duke of Huainan were, and they just felt surprised at why the result hadn’t been revealed. Hearing that they would announce it, all people held their breaths.“The four concubines selected today are Zhuo Xian’er, Luo Ning, Dong Qiaoqiao and Wu Yin’er.” The voice was loud and spread far away. “The beauty queen is...”Before that man spoke it out, countless voices around appeared in unison. “Shen Jiaonu!”Many wealthy men including Jiang Suiyun from the East Sea had sent gifts, so even if Shen Jiaonu didn’t want to be the beauty queen, she couldn’t refuse.“There are one beauty queen and four concubines. Thanks to all the be
Xian’er was beautiful, and her voice was sweet.What she said meant to invite Yang Ning, while he still smiled faintly. “It’s still early now.”Xian’er walked to the window and opened it a little to look out. Then she closed the window and looked back with a smile. “I will help you bathe and dress up, Marquis.”Zhuo Xian’er’s every word and action wasn’t affected, but it showed an alluring posture.Obviously, she had been educated in postures and manners for many years, which showed the imprinting.At this time, he heard the sounds. A small door aside was opened, and two maids carried a big wooden bucket which was as tall as half a person. They put it in the room and glanced at Yang Ning. Then they covered their mouths and chuckled before going out.“What are they doing?” Yang Ning was stunned and then understood something.Soon, the two maids came in again with kettles and buckets and poured
Qi Ning and the others waited outside the cave for a few moments before they saw White Toothpower come out, saying, "The Great Witch has given permission to go in, so all of you follow me."The crowd followed behind White Toothpower and entered within the stone cave.From the outside, the grotto is just an ordinary grotto, but Qi Ning in-depth, only to be appalled at the grotto of the project is huge, just the grotto of the vast scale, most of which is still attributed to the nature of the ghostly craftsmanship, and then later years, and by the Miao people keep building, only to have today's scale.Although the size of the grotto is not small, but is full of lonely and desolate, the people walk in the grotto, kicking and stepping, in the grotto spread out a long way, more show the quiet of the grotto.Qi Ning was even thinking at this time, if the Great Witch was alone here, alone and lonely, it was really a bit pitiful.After walking through a long tun
Several chiefs looked at each other, and one said loudly, "Dandu Bone, you have already killed the Great Miao King, do you want to make another mistake? If you hurt a single hair of Rangchadulu's head, we will definitely break your body into pieces."Dandu Bone said sternly,"Just based on Langchadulu's words, you put the blame on my Dandu Bone's head? You are all the chiefs of the villages, do you believe Langchadulu's words so easily?"Langchadulu exclaimed, "The evidence is overwhelming, could it be that I am falsely accusing you? Dandu Bone, you are so guilty that you should commit suicide in public to give everyone an explanation." Feeling the knife on the neck slightly tightened, the body could not help but tense up, and there was a trace of fear in his heart."I am Yifu of Black Rock Cave, the murder of the Great Miao King was all a trap set by Langchadulu." Seeing the blackness of the surrounding people and the flashes of swords, Yifu shouted, "It was Langch
The night was dark and moonless, and the Xishan Mountain Range was shrouded in night.The big Miao King was killed, the remains were placed within the large village of the Miao village, the village in addition to assigning some manpower to guard the various key roads on the mountain, young and old are already gathered to the outside of the large village, under the night, a group of people in the black, at least there are also thousands of people.The crying seemed to go on unabated from morning to night.During the years when the Great Miao King was alive, the Cangxi Miao Village, under his command, was almost peaceful, with people being self-sufficient and young and old in peace.Big Miao King is like a big tree, has been in the Miao village shelter, people have also been accustomed to have such a big tree protection and blessing.But overnight, the great tree of the Great Hmong King collapsed, and for many people, the murder of the Great Hmong King wa
The three of them were naturally unable to sleep this night, and by the next day, no one could be seen coming over for the entire day.The Prisoner Wolf Wall is quite a distance from the fortress, but despite this, the three of them heard the sound of weeping coming from the fortress, and in their hearts, they all knew that the news of the murder of the Great Miao King had spread throughout the fortress.The weeping continued for a whole day, and Dandu Bone could hardly help himself, and cried twice when he thought of the murdered King of the Great Hmong.This day not only no one to come over to the arraignment, and even the food delivery is not seen to come over, until after dark, only to see Chegu with another guard carrying a food basket to come over.Chegu first sent the meal between the gaps in the iron bars within Dandu Bone's stone prison, then Yifu, and finally Qi Ning's stone prison.Seeing that the meal was also still quite hearty, Qi Ning lau
At Qi Ning's words, Yi Fu suddenly came to a realization, her heart was appalled, and she said, "Langchadulu wanted to send out troops, but the Great Miao King and Dandu Bone didn't agree and insisted on negotiating, so Langchadulu set up a trap, killed the Great Miao King, and framed us and Dandu Bone for the crime.""That's my guess." Qi Ning sighed, "If my guess is correct, then we shouldn't survive a day. Now that Dandu Bone is imprisoned here and the Great Miao King has been killed, Langchadulu has become the number one person in Upper Water Cave, and it's only right that he can call the shots." With a hefty smile, he said, "The three of us are the ones he is most uneasy about right now, as long as we are dead, and the Great Hmong King is killed there will be someone to take the blame for him, and he will have nothing to worry about anymore."Dandu Bone clenched his fist and snapped, "If the Great Miao King was really killed by him, I ... I will definitely break thi
The three of them were each put within a stone cave, with Yifu in the center and Qi Ning and Dandu Bone to the left and right.As soon as Qi Ning entered inside, he knew that it was extremely difficult to get out, the cave was rocky on three sides, and only one side of the iron bars could be accessed.Prisoner wolf wall is obviously the upper water hole carefully designed place, the iron bars are made of fine iron, and on the iron lock, if the cold blade in hand, Qi Ning still think some opportunity to break out of the door, and now want to unarmed out of the cage, that is whimsical.In addition, there are also left three strong Miao people here to guard, that wooden house is the guard room, the front door is opposite to the stone wall prison, people in the inside, can notice every move within the stone prison.Yi Fu sat within the stone prison, anxious, she did not care about her own safety, but when she thought that the Great Miao King had met an untimely e
Dandu Bone's face turned cold and he said in a deep voice, "What did you say?""Dandu Bone, I heard that you have known these two for a long time?" Rangchadulu gripped the cold blade in his hand, "When you were at the bottom of the mountain, I heard that you were prepared to bring them up the mountain without the Great Miao King's orders?"Dandu Bone's face changed at first, and he snapped, "Rangchadulu, what do you mean by that?"Langchadulu seemed to still have some scruples about Dandu Bone, took two steps back and said loudly, "What do I mean, don't you understand? What exactly is the origin of these two people, you have to give us an explanation."At this time there was a crowd of more than ten people in the room, and all of them looked at Dandu Bone when they heard Rangchadulu say this.Dandu Bone clenched his fist and said, "That's right, I met them on my way back and .... they have saved my life.""It's good that you admit it." Rangchadulu
Langchadulu's voice was mournful, Eve's expression changed dramatically, and Qi Ning's face sank.The Miao people who followed Rangchadulu over were all shocked, and two of them had already snatched into the house, while Yifu had already followed into the house as well.Qi Ning followed behind Yi Fu and went in, only to see that there was a rattan chair at the corner of the house, the Great Miao King was sitting on top of the rattan chair, his back leaning against the rattan chair, but his head was drooping down on his chest, the house was filled with a smell of blood, the light of the oil lamps flickered, and Rangchadulu knelt down at the feet of the Great Miao King, holding the Great Miao King's hand, his complexion was bleak.Qi Ning's expression was cold, by the light of the lamp, but he had also seen clearly that in the chest of the Great Miao King, a blood stain, and the blood was flowing downward, obviously just killed soon.What shocked Qi Ning was no
Dandu Bone said in a deep voice, "Rangchadulu, for so many years, we Miao people have been living in harmony with the Han people, do you know what the consequences would be if we were to call in the troops from all the caves?"Langchadulu asked rhetorically, "And do you know what will happen if we are indifferent and turn a blind eye to the situation in the Black Rock Cave?" He took a step forward and said, "Our mission at Upper Water Cave is to stand up for the Miao people when they are in danger. Now that we all know that the Black Rock Cave is suffering from injustice, yet we sit back and do nothing, won't the Miao Family's 72 caves be chilled?""Not bad, Great Miao King, Black Rock Cave Eve has already told us the truth of the matter, this is obviously a trap set by the government for Black Rock Cave, they are so insidious, do we have to wait until Black Rock Cave has been killed before we react?" A Miao man said with righteous indignation, "Let's immediately send pe
