After sending Peng Yaoyao back, Hua Duxiu was yawning so much when he got home that he could hardly open his eyes.
I've spent money but haven't slept yet.
"Xiu'er, you're finally back! I thought you... Hey!"
He spent money and rubbed his hands together, with a look of ill intent on his face.
Hua Duxiu rolled his eyes , " Dad, you are so boring, what do you think of me? Don't assume anything, don't you know who I have in my heart?"
Qian Hua patted Hua Duxiu on the shoulder and said , " Just follow me. We are both so devoted to each other."
"Look at yourself in the mirror. How many hairs are left on your head? Stop thinking about those trivial things."
"We'll talk about this later. You're still young. Did Miss Yaoyao tell you about the Governor's arrangements?"
Hua Duxiu yawned , " She wanted to say it, but I was too lazy to listen, so I guessed it was almost right."
Hua Qian said excitedly , " Then you really should listen. Manager Lu said that from now on, all escort contracts involving the government in the entire Kunmo Valley will be undertaken by our Hua Escort Agency!"
Hua Duxiu was stunned , " A big deal?"
Hua Qian said , " That's great! This is equivalent to giving our Hua Escort Agency the official certification flag of Kunmo Valley's 'No. 1'!"
"Dad, do we have the strength to do that? Don't mess it up and throw darts everywhere. Not only will we not make any money, but we will also lose all our capital! I still have the rest of my life to live!"
"Shangguan Jie, these people from Heqimen are probably hoping that we will take over the escort missions everywhere, and then they will secretly take revenge on us."
Qian Hua excitedly said , " Xiu'er, you can't even imagine it!"
"Can't think of what? Can't think of how you'll ruin the family?"
Qianqian spat , " Nonsense!"
"The Governor has already negotiated with the Wu Mansion Master Wu Haotian, and plans to let the second and third generation disciples of the Demon Flow Mansion join our escort agency. It can be said that this will give them experience in the martial arts world or generate income for the Demon Flow Mansion. In short, we are now enjoying the shade under a big tree!"
Hua Duxiu was shocked , " Doesn't that mean we are the Shenwei Escort Agency, and the Moliu Mansion is the Heqi Gate?"
Hua Qian nodded , " Your analogy is very appropriate. But this time it is our Hua family that plays the leading role, while the other two families are hiding behind the scenes, and they are taking the hidden shares."
Hua Duxiu was still shocked . " After all, one is the Governor's Office, and the other is the top wealthy family in Trapped Demon Valley. It is reasonable for them to hide behind the scenes. I didn't expect that Governor Peng would be so decisive in doing things. Did I misjudge him?"
"There will always be a time to ride the wind and waves. You want to use the Governor's influence to do things, but the Governor is also using our influence to do things."
Hua Duxiu looked at Hua Qian carefully and said , " Not bad, not bad, Dad, you are not blinded by victory."
Hua Qian said , " There is also good news. Because of his poor performance and his blind recommendation to Princess Shangguan for the underpowered Shenwei Escort Agency to undertake the escort contract, Lord Li of Shenquan City has been demoted to be the lord of a small city in Shushen County."
"In our Shenquan City, the Governor will recommend a trusted person to Shangguan Jie as a candidate for the city master."
Hua Duxiu clicked his tongue and said , " Governor Peng knows how to play games. He's trying to get Shangguan Jie's little brother and put a nail in his eye. Will Shangguan Jie agree to this?"
Qian Hua said , " I heard from Chief Steward Lu that the Governor was furious and Shangguan Jie had no choice but to sacrifice Li Butian and Heqimen to save himself. The officials are in a panic now, and no one expected the Governor's wrath to be so fierce."
Hua Duxiu breathed a sigh of relief , " That's good, that's good. I was worried that Governor Peng would be soft-hearted and reluctant to take ruthless action. Now I can leave with peace of mind."
Asking , " When are you going to leave?"
Hua Duxiu thought about it and said , " Just for the next two days. We'll talk about it tomorrow. I'm too sleepy. I'm going to sleep now."
After saying that, Hua Duxiu yawned again, his eyes full of tears.
Qian Hua wanted to give a few more instructions, but thought it would not be too late to talk tomorrow morning, so he and Hua Duxiu went back to their rooms to rest.
The next morning, Erxi followed the escort agency's cavalry to Pomo City.
“Master~~~~!”
Erxi threw himself into Hua Duxiu's arms with tears in his eyes.
There's no way, I can't help it!
Hua Duxiu patted Erxi's little head and asked with a smile , " What's wrong? I haven't seen you for a few days. Do you miss me so much?"
Erxi quickly wiped away his tears, and reluctantly struggled out of Hua Duxiu's arms, stammering:
"Master, I heard from the escort leader that you are going on a long journey again. I don't know how long it will take before I can see you again. I, I feel sad..."
Hua Duxiu sighed , " I feel bad too. When I think about going to Mobei to eat sand, I feel uncomfortable all over."
Erxi urged , " Then take Erxi with you! Erxi will help you take a bath every night, so that the young master can sleep well every night!"
Hua Duxiu shook his head , " No, I'm here to learn martial arts from my master, and I'm here to be my disciple. With you, what will other disciples think of me? Your young master is already so outstanding, you want me to stand out even more?"
Erxi pretended to be angry , " The young master is so outstanding, no one can compare with him! No matter how he lowers his figure, the dazzling temperament on his body cannot be hidden after all!"
Hua Duxiu sighed , " I must learn a lesson this time, and I can no longer be so good. Everything that happened in Moliu Mansion is so sad, it seems like yesterday!"
After packing all morning, Shen Lijia did not come.
Hua Duxiu knew that the more Shen Lijia ignored him, the smoother things would go for him.
In the evening, Shen Lijia came to Huashi Villa with an excited face.
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law!"
The fat little Shen Lijia rushed into Hua Duxiu's study and saw Erxi rubbing Hua Duxiu's shoulders.
Hua Duxiu closed her eyes to rest while Erxi glared at Shen Lijia fiercely.
Shen Lijia stuck out her tongue and quickly closed her mouth.
"Jiajia, if you keep yelling like this, why don't you become the young master of the Shen family? It would be better for you to fight! Once you speak, everyone in the city will know the time!"
Hua Duxiu smiled slightly.
Shen Lijia scratched his head , " Oh, so Miss Erxi is here?"
Erxi snorted softly , " Why, can't I come?"
Shen Lijia rubbed his big hands , " If you can come, of course you can come! On behalf of the people of the capital, I sincerely welcome you!"
Erxi asked , " I heard that you just bought a bath center?"
Shen Lijia said , " Yes! Sister Erxi, you said that for such a beautiful woman, you don't usually come here, so you want us to serve you? My brother-in-law and I feel sorry for your hard work. One day you want to take a hot spring bath, If you want a massage, you can go to my bath center and mention my name and I’ll give you a 10% discount!”
Erxi smiled at the praise and said , " Take it down. I can't afford your black shop, even if it's a 10% discount!"
After rubbing his shoulders, Erxi exited happily.
Hua Duxiu asked , " Is everything done?"
Shen Lijia nodded , " Things went much smoother than expected! Guess what, among the three old shareholders, Boss Qi and City Master Zhao are not the major shareholders. They each hold 30% of the shares, and another mysterious person holds 30% of the shares. 40%!”
Hua Duxiu was stunned , " Oh? In the Demon-breaking City, is there any character more awesome than Zhao Shentian?"
"No matter how I ask, Boss Qi just doesn't dare to say anything. That's all! This matter is settled. If it works, I have asked Zhang Huzi to send over a buyout fee of 10,000 taels. Later, my father will take over the business and expand the restaurant. and the brothel business.”
Hua Duxiu nodded , " You don't need to worry about these. With Uncle Feng and Boss Qi here, business will be fine. But the major shareholder behind the scenes still needs to investigate, so as not to capsize the boat in the gutter."
Shen Lijia said , " This person hides so deeply that even City Lord Zhao pretends not to know about it and just doesn't say anything."
"Has Zhao Shentian agreed to cooperate?"
Shen Lijia said , " I agreed. He thought about it for a long time last night, and I even thought he wanted to be gay. But in the end, he happily agreed. It seems he also wanted to take the opportunity to improve relations with the Governor's Mansion."
Hua Duxiu waved her hand , " Okay, let's not talk about this. You go home and clean up tonight, and we will set off to Mobei as soon as possible."
Shen Lijia asked , " So urgent?"
Hua Duxiu sighed , " If I keep breaking up, I will suffer from chaos. Life is so comfortable. If I don't be more simple, I'm afraid I will sink and be unable to leave."
Shen Lijia nodded , " Okay, I'll have people pack their luggage tonight and come over early tomorrow morning."
Hua Duxiu said , " Okay, let's set off early tomorrow morning. Call Uncle Feng here tonight and let's have a meal together."
…
The time to set off has arrived.
The sun slowly climbed into the sky, the sun was shining brightly, and the chirping of birds and the fragrance of flowers came to my face.
Hua Duxiu and Shen Lijia rode in a spacious carriage, followed by three two-horse carriages loaded with luggage, and six well-dressed men.
There was a sound of horse hooves, and Peng Yaoyao came running with several guards.
Hua Duxiu smiled and said , " This little girl is here after all."
Shen Lijia said sourly , " I think Miss Yaoyao is very poisoned by you?"
Hua Duxiu waved her hand , " Don't talk nonsense. The water is worth three thousand, and my brother-in-law only takes one ladle to drink."
Shen Lijia pouted , " Brother-in-law, the scoop is good!"
Hua Duxiu glared at Shen Lijia. He knew what Shen Lijia was feeling, so why didn't he?
After leaving the screen, Hua Duxiu said goodbye to Peng Yaoyao who got off the carriage in the small courtyard.
Hua Duxiu looked at Peng Yaoyao with a smile.
Today, Peng Yaoyao was dressed quite neatly and beautifully, with the aura of a pure little beauty.
She is completely different from the previous strict and strict person who always maintained her image as the eldest lady of the Governor's Palace.
Hua Duxiu looked up and down and couldn't help but nod.
Peng Yaoyao blushed and said , " Little pervert, have you seen enough?"
Hua Duxiu said with a grin , " I haven't seen enough!"
Peng Yaoyao spat , " I don't want to bother with you!"
Hua Duxiu asked curiously , " Yaoyao, you are dressed so beautifully today. If I don't take a few more glances at you, wouldn't that be a waste of your kindness?"
Peng Yaoyao snorted softly , " Is she really beautiful?"
Hua Duxiu said seriously , " It's really beautiful."
Peng Yaoyao smiled sweetly.
"So... do you like it?"
Hua Duxiu smiled bitterly , " We are all brothers, don't be like this."
Peng Yaoyao pretended to be angry , " Bah! Who is your brother? If I were your brother, I would stab you in the ribs twice first!"
Hua Duxiu sighed , " Okay, okay, you are a big sister, a beautiful big sister, not a big brother."
Peng Yaoyao pouted and shook her little head.
No matter who she is or what kind of environment she grew up in, after all, she is just a sixteen-year-old girl.
Girls in their twenties are so pretty.
It is always a very happy thing to be praised by someone you like.
Hua Duxiu took out a scroll from his sleeve and handed it to Peng Yaoyao, saying:
"Hey, this is for you."
Peng Yaoyao untied it gently, and it turned out to be a poem:
It is hard to meet and hard to part, the east wind is weak and the flowers are withered.
It was written below that Hua Duxiu sent this to sister Yaoyao, wishing her to eat well, drink well, and grow up quickly.
Apart from the fact that the handwriting is a little poor, like a worm crawling, there is nothing wrong with it.
The implication especially hits Peng Yaoyao's heart.
It's so annoying. You know exactly what other people are thinking.
Peng Yaoyao covered her mouth and laughed , " Brother Xiu, what a mess you are making. I'm not much shorter than you, how can I grow up?"
Speaking of this, Peng Yaoyao suddenly choked.
The little face turned pink.
This bad thing!
He must have seen something he shouldn't have seen that night!
It's so annoying!
Hua Duxiu pretended not to notice the change in Peng Yaoyao's expression. He put his hands behind his back, looked up at the sky, and said with emotion:
"When I left, the plum calyx was just beginning to condense into powder, and I didn't realize that the little peach was damaged by the wind. Yaoyao, I have sent you a thousand miles away, but we have to say goodbye eventually, so you don't have to send me out of the valley."
Peng Yaoyao rolled her eyes , " I didn't even bother to send you out of the city, but I also sent you out of the valley? Why don't you go to heaven? Humph!"
"I'm watching you leave, thousands of miles away! Leave quickly!"
##Volume 2 A hundred flowers bloom and I show off alone
Although Peng Yaoyao said she was not forgiving, she felt a little empty when she thought that she would not be able to see Hua Duxiu for at least a year in the future.Shen Lijia was kicked out to ride a horse. Hua Duxiu and Peng Yaoyao were in the same carriage, chatting along the way. When they remembered it again, they had already left the Demon City.It's not that PoDe Mocheng is young, but the conversation was a little selfless.Hua Duxiu lifted the curtain and looked, and said in surprise , " Oh my, are you really going to send me out of the valley?"Only then did Peng Yaoyao realize that she had been chatting with Hua Duxiu for a long time."Where are we?"Hua Duxiu said , " We are at least ten miles away from the Demon-Breaking City. We can't even see the top of the city wall clearly."Peng Yaoyao said reluctantly , " Then...then I should go back. My father told me not to go too far away from the city."Hua Duxiu nodded
Shen Lijia was stunned , " What did you say? What kind of mountain?"Hua Duxiu was slightly disappointed. She thought Jiajia was a know-it-all, but it turned out that he didn't know this."Nothing, I just asked casually."Shen Lijia scratched his head , " Demon energy? Is it the demonic energy suppressed by the 'Demon Suppression Tower' in Hundang Mountain?"Hua Duxiu's eyes suddenly lit up , " You brat, you don't know this very well, right?"Shen Lijia said naughtily , " Oh, you said the Demon Soul Mountain Range. The Demon Soul Mountain Range is huge, stretching for hundreds of miles. Who knows what you are talking about?"Hua Duxiu asked , " Then do you know the legend of the devil's energy in the Trapped Demon Valley?"Shen Lijia said mysteriously:"You can't talk nonsense about this matter. The government has sealed it very tightly. In our Demonic Valley, this is a forbidden topic!"Hua Duxiu slapped Shen Lijia on the
Fu Yuntong had only heard that the devil back then was very powerful and could control people's minds, but he didn't expect that he could be immortal?That's really awesome, worthy of the title of "big devil".But these things happened too long ago, spanning thousands of years. Who can still remember them?Who will do the research?Too ethereal.It is difficult to determine whether it is true or false. After all, all the information comes from those obscure ancient records.Only those old guys in the Empire's "Collection Pavilion" who are just waiting to die are interested in studying it.Retired members of the royal family have been studying and passing down this secret for countless generations.The Admiral said , " Over the generations, the Empire has collected several fragments of the map and is getting closer and closer to unlocking the secret.""You can guess what this incident means to the empire without me having t
Hua Duxiu frowned slightly , " Brother, are you feeling unwell?"The man in the straw raincoat didn't even turn his head , " ... a little bit."Hua Duxiu nodded , " Sure enough, I said, no normal person would talk like that, you must have a headache."At this moment, the captain shouted , " Sail! Sail!"After a shake, the sailors paddled together, pushed the huge ship away from the dock, and slowly sailed out of the harbor.As soon as it left the dock, the huge hull began to sway gently up and down.Hua Duxiu's face changed.Oh my god, how come such a big boat is so unstable when driving?No, something's wrong?Wasn’t it like this when you took a boat on the river before?Why is my little heart hanging?As the ship left the port, the waves immediately became bigger, the ship swayed up and down in the water, and Hua Duxiu's face became worse and worse.The man in the straw raincoat said to himself , " Once
Mao Maoyu immediately stopped him, but unfortunately Shen Lijia started too quickly, and the box was right in front of him, too close.What's more, Shen Lijia is not a blank slate with no power. He is a disciple of the "Xiang Sect" and a little master whose strength has reached the level of "copper skin and iron bones".The next moment, Shen Lijia's fat hand pressed on the wooden box."Um?"Hua Duxiu looked on coldly, Shen Lijia felt the box tremble slightly, and Mao Maoyu already looked irritable."Fatty!"Mao Maoyu roared and slapped Shen Lijia's big hand away.At this moment, a fire suddenly flashed through the gap in the wooden box, and something foreign object suddenly spurted out of the small hole!Hua Duxiu narrowed his eyes. He saw all of this extremely slowly, and the details were clear.In the wooden box, some mechanism was triggered. Although the sound had not yet come out, the firelight was already shining thro
Hua Duxiu became alert , " Oh? Is there anything unusual?"Mao Maoyu said , " That place is full of scary legends, like ghosts, eating children, controlling people, I don't think that's normal."Hua Duxiu thought to himself: Isn’t this the legend of the devil?Thousands of years have passed, and this seemingly absurd legend has continued to this day. Obviously, the truth is not that simple.It seems that after I have mastered the internal skills, I really need to go and visit the place in person.Without investigation, you have no right to speak.Hua Duxiu asked , " Do you think these legends are all nonsense?"Mao Maoyu shook his head , " No, I don't think it's nonsense. Although it's not normal, it's definitely not nonsense."Hua Duxiu narrowed his eyes , " Oh? What do you mean?"Mao Maoyu said , " If you stay in Hun Dang Mountain for a long time, you will feel uncomfortable all over. It's like there is a bloody smell th
Shen Lijia was greatly embarrassed.Fortunately, the storm had just passed, but many people were still squatting at the bottom of the cabin and did not come up. Although the violent explosion blew a big hole in the passenger ship, no one was killed.Several were injured.Several passengers had blood on their faces and were so frightened that they did not dare to breathe or moan in pain.Explosion!In this era, there was no widespread use of strong gunpowder, and ordinary people could not understand what this sudden explosion was about.In short, it exploded inexplicably.Too scary, too scary!The ship boss stared at Shen Lijia and the others fiercely and said angrily:"Can anyone give me an explanation!"Hua Duxiu said , " Boss of the ship, we are all witnesses. Just now a bolt of lightning struck from the sky and hit the side of the ship, leaving such a big hole.""Boss of the ship, have you done anything harm
Near the coastline, there is a lot of depression and the environment is excellent.Hua Duxiu asked curiously , " Where is the desert? We promised to eat sand? Why not take a carriage instead of a camel carriage?"The wheels of the camel cart are specially made and are much wider than those of the horse cart to prevent them from sinking in the sand.Shen Lijia smiled strangely , " Don't worry, the surprise will come soon!"The convoy traveled all the way eastward. After dozens of miles, the green became less and less, the wind and sand became stronger and stronger, and the air became drier and drier.Hua Duxiu had already had a good sleep. She stretched herself and listened to the sound of camel bells outside, which gave her the joy of traveling.Hua Duxiu opened the curtains and took a look: Come on, it’s really a desert!It turns out that only the coastline has vegetation, and once you enter the hinterland of the continent, it’s all
