Chapter 338: Private meeting with fiancée? This is business!

In the early morning, when the sky is not yet completely bright and most people are still asleep, there are people on the dock carrying goods.

Although the workload is heavy, everyone has long been used to it, but today is different.

Seeing the shore, I don't know when there was a girl in white.

There is still a faint mist by the river in the early morning. The girl is slender and graceful, with long hair reaching her waist. She seems to have stepped out of a painting. She is in the smoke at the moment, and she seems to be flying away in the clouds at any time. She is pure and sacred. .

The workers who were carrying the goods didn't know how to describe people's beauty. They just thought that when fairies came to earth, they would probably look like this. If fairies don't look like this, it must be the fairy's fault.

Everyone swallowed secretly, but no one came forward to disturb them.

After all, if a girl who is so beautiful and well-dressed says it doesn't matter, who would believe her?

Even if she comes from a poor family, she can become a rich lady just by looking at her face.

Just take a few secret glances and that's it. If you really step forward, your life will be at risk.

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly saw a figure coming quickly on the water, like a roc, like a fairy. Everyone was amazed, and then they saw the expressionless fairy's mouth corners suddenly raised slightly, as beautiful as a picture scroll, and everyone was stunned. I'm crazy, as if I've fallen into a fairyland.

And the next second, he saw a figure speeding up the river, holding the fairy in his arms.

For a moment, countless people's eyes widened, and their hearts seemed to be broken.

Qiao Qingyu's face also turned red, she pushed Ji Ren away and looked at Ji Ren with shame.

"We haven't seen each other for a thousand years. I'm a little excited. I'll pay attention next time." Ji Ren said while doing a deep self-examination.

"Thousand years?" Qiao Qingyu moved her eyebrows slightly, looking at Ji Rendao strangely regardless of her shame and annoyance.

"Not seeing you for one day is like three autumns. It seems that I have been separated from you for only a year, but in my heart it lasts more than a thousand years." Ji Ren looked at Qiao Qingyu affectionately. At this moment, he looked like the legendary gentleman.

Hearing Ji Ren's statement, Qiao Qingyu smiled and said, "When we separated that day, I said that I haven't seen you come for half a year. I'm afraid that these days, with all my success and fame, I have long been forgotten."

At the end of the sentence, Qiao Qingyu's face turned red. She said it as if she was looking forward to him coming.

"Dong Cao, the dog thief, harmed me, otherwise, I would have been here long ago. Heaven is my witness, if there is even half a lie, Zhou Kuan will never find a wife in his life." Ji Ren immediately swore to God.

"Huh?" Qiao Qingyu blinked. She actually believed in Ji Ren, but Ji Ren's oath made her a little unconvinced.

"In my heart, brothers are like brothers. I swear by Zhou Kuan, far better than I swear by myself." Ji Ren said solemnly.

Seeing Ji Ren's expression, Qiao Qingyu wanted to laugh, but it wasn't the right time to laugh at this moment, so she suppressed her laughter and changed the subject: "Where's Zhou Kuan? He's here with you this time too. ? Listen to Qingyin, he and Zhuge Hao have become your deputy generals of Beishan Guard. "

"Ah Hao didn't come. Senior brother has gained some insights from his practice recently and plans to take a wave of Ah Hao with him. But Zhou Kuan is here and is on the ship now." Ji Ren explained.

Zhuge Hao, who was ranked second in the Eight Suns of Taiping before and is now the leader in Eight Suns of Taiping, is now a little behind and is training diligently to catch up with Lu Shang, the second echelon of young people.

Speaking of which, Zhuge Hao was also very lucky. Zhuge Qinglan now understood the extraordinary mysteries, and the two of them were of the same Dharma, so during this breakthrough, Zhuge Qinglan asked Zhuge Hao to follow him.

If you are lucky, when you return, Daqi's younger generation will have one more young land marquis.

"It's about how far away he is. Maybe he and I haven't seen each other for a long time." Qiao whispered.

Before Ji Ren rose to prominence, she and Zhou Kuan were the two strongest people among the younger generation in Daqi.

Before going to Jiangnan, Qiao Qingyu didn't think she could beat Zhou Kuan. They have a good friendship with each other.

"A few thousand feet, I didn't take a closer look," Ji Ren said.

"How many thousands of feet?" Qiao Qingyu turned her head and looked at Ji Ren with a bit of surprise. She originally thought it was a hundred feet, but Ji Ren had good eyesight and spotted her. She never thought that it would be several thousand feet to fly all the way here. Although he was very restrained, Qiao Qingyu couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.

"Yeah, let's go, take me to eat Jiangnan's unique pastries. Everyone says Jiangnan is good and reminds me of Jiangnan. My stomach is empty for Jiangnan delicacies." Ji Ren said.

"Aren't you going to wait for them?" Qiao asked softly.

"No wait, I want to know something important and confidential from you. The fewer people know about such important things, the better." As Ji Ren spoke, he took Qiao Qingyu's hand, which was white and soft.

Qiao Qingyu's face turned red. She struggled a little, but couldn't, so she stopped struggling. Instead, she introduced the food in Jiangnan: "The food in Jiangnan is slightly different from that in Chang'an. Compared with Chang'an, it is lighter... …”

Ji Ren nodded slightly, held Qiao Qingyin's hand, and walked on the bluestone road. It was still early and there were only a few pedestrians on the street. The two of them were walking on the street together. They were obviously talking all the time, but there was a different kind of tranquility and comfort. heart.

Then, Qiao Qingyu took Ji Ren to eat local food, and then watched the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan with small bridges and flowing water.

After such a walk, it was noon, and then it was time to have lunch. Unlike the light breakfast, lunch was much richer.

Halfway through the meal, there was a sound outside. Qiao Qingyu heard that it was officials hosting a banquet to entertain Zhang Cheng. She couldn't help but look at Ji Ren and said, "Isn't it appropriate for you not to show up for such an occasion?"

"He entertained Zhang Shilang because Zhang Shilang was responsible for his inspection. As for the inspection by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, it was a matter between Zhang Shilang and Tian Zhi. It was not within the scope of my responsibilities. I should not have intervened. My duty was to investigate Sima secretly. My family is in Jiangnan, aren't I getting first-hand information? Otherwise, if I keep rushing in without knowing anything, wouldn't I be blind and deaf?" Ji Ren said.

Let me emphasize, he is doing business!

Communicate with the direct disciple of the deputy master of the Worshiping Moon Palace, the largest force in the south of the Yangtze River, to obtain information and make plans for the future.

It was definitely not a private meeting with his fiancée.

Looking at Ji Ren's serious look, Qiao Qingyu felt inexplicably want to laugh. To get information, did he mean to hang out with her for a long time, then ask her how her life was in Jiangnan, and then not ask about the Sima family at all?

"Then is there anything you want to know?" In the end, it was Qiao Qingyu who asked first.

"It depends on what you are reporting to me? Who did King Wu protect when he went to the south of the Yangtze River, and who else was in contact with the Yang family during this period." When it came to business, Ji Ren looked slightly solemn and said.

"The reason why King Wu went to Jiangnan was to take charge of the salt administration, but the biggest private salt dealer in Jiangnan is backed by the Sun family, so if we talk about the people King Wu is protecting, I won't be able to finish it in a short while." Qiao Qingyu road.

"Did anyone contact Yang Xing? Which force is most suspicious?" Ji Ren asked.

The matter of illicit salt is not trivial. Salt and iron were strategic materials in ancient times.

Selling illegal salt will result in beheading.

But this thing, because the benefits are great and the people really need it, it is banned repeatedly.

So Ji Ren didn't want to worry about this, he just kept it in his mind and let Zhuge Qinglan make the decision when he went back.

"Yixing Zhou family, Jiangxia prefect Zhou Lin." Qiao whispered.

"Prefect of Jiangxia?" Ji Ren raised his eyebrows slightly. He married the Wang family in Kuaiji. He married the Wang family's daughter, and then gave his son's advice to marry the Wang family's daughter, one of the key objects of observation.

Jiangxia was also the next stop. Although they descended from Chang'an to the south of the Yangtze River, passing through Jingzhou and then Yangzhou, Daqi's inspections always started from Yangzhou, and this time when Wang Shaozhi was transferred, he wanted to check the Wang family first.
