A Thousand Hills

Chapter 205

Jiang Xingyun is very difficult to mess with.

This was Jiang Futian's first impression of Jiang Xingyun.

It's not the "pungent" thing that he said in his mouth. If it's just spicy, there are too many spicy women in the world. Jiang Futian usually slaps this kind of woman twice. When he met Jiang Xingyun, he didn't dare to slap Jiang Xingyun twice, and was scolded Out of the main hall.Don't look at Jiang Futian's honest appearance, just by listening to this person's words, he knows that he is not such an honest person.What's more, people who are too honest probably won't be sent out by Duan Sihai.Jiang Futian thinks that Jiang Xingyun is not easy to mess with because Jiang Xingyun can see through some of his background at a glance.

Jiang Futian thought to himself, these days, are women so difficult to see each other?
What an era of prosperity and decline!

When he arrived at his leader's residence, Jiang Futian didn't go to the main hall to talk to Jiang Xingyun again. It was enough to be scolded by a woman once, and Jiang Futian didn't want to have a second time.

Huang Yue invited Jiang Xingyun and Li Shaodong to disembark. Jiang Xingyun saw a magnificent harbor when he stepped out of the cabin. If he hadn't seen that many soldiers looked slightly different from those of the Chinese, Jiang Xingyun might have misunderstood that Jiang Futian and others brought her to Jingjiang Port.

Jiang Futian first took a group of people to the posthouse near the port. Jiang Xingyun carefully paid attention to the scenery outside the car, including flowers, plants and trees, and many rare and unseen things.Jiang Futian ordered the master of the posthouse to entertain him well, and said to Jiang Xingyun, "Miss, take a break, and I will go and report to our master."

Jiang Xingyun raised his head reservedly and waved his hand, which means, you can go.Jiang Futian was suffocating in his heart, I am not your dog, he comes and goes when he is called.

Jiang Futian suffocated, left the posthouse, got on his horse, and went to report that Jiang Xingyun and his party had arrived at the posthouse.

Jiang Futian inevitably added to the boss, "This bitch is very powerful, you should be careful, my lord."

"Be careful?" Duan Sihai wore half a black mask, so naturally he couldn't see his expression clearly, but his tone clearly expressed doubts.

"Yeah, I can tell at a glance that I have been in the army for more than ten years."

Duan Sihai didn't think it was surprising, "Jiang Xingyun was originally surnamed Song, and his father and grandfather have been stationed at Xining Pass for two generations. It's not unusual for her to be able to tell."

"When do you want to see them?"

"Not urgent."

Duan Sihai was not in a hurry, so there was no news of Jiang Futian as soon as he left, but everything was well arranged in the post house, and Jiang Xingyun didn't say anything.In the evening of the same day, Li Si, the little leader of the post house, was the guide, and took Xu Shaodong and Huang Yue out of the post house. Jiang Xingyun's original words were, "It's rare to have the opportunity to go overseas. Let's take a stroll, and it's not in vain. A chance."

Jiang Xingyun is a woman, women have shopping addiction, not to mention Jiang Xingyun is a woman who is not short of money.

What's more, this time it is a trip with public funds.

Jiang Xingyun bought a carload of things that afternoon and went back to the post house.

After dinner, I heard from Li Si that there will be a night market at night. After dinner, Jiang Xingyun took Xu and Huang to the night market. After returning to the post house, Jiang Xingyun was still in high spirits, and Xu and Huang held on. Back in the room, I felt like my legs were going to break.Unexpectedly, after breakfast on the second day, Jiang Xingyun continued to take Li Si and Xu Huang to continue shopping. Jiang Xingyun went shopping for five days in a row and knew that this place was called Sihai Island. Li Si was a pirate who was recruited by Duan Sihai. Li Si said, "In the past, I followed the big leader Xu. Later, the big leader Xu was defeated by the lord and died, so we were recruited by the lord. Now we have a place to stay, and we have found a place to stay in the posthouse. There is no need to go to sea again. We have today, it is the grace of the adults." His face was full of gratitude.

Jiang Xingyun also knew that most of the pirates were from the coast. Since Duan Sihai occupied this island, he has popularized Chinese for the aborigines on the island. After cutting off the original royal family on the island, he gave the aborigines many preferential policies He was also willing to promote the aborigines to be officials under his command, so Duan Sihai became the new king.

Although Li Si is just the little leader of the post house, he is quite eloquent, especially when it comes to Duan Sihai's bravery and extraordinary bravery that he has never met an opponent in more than ten years of galloping in the sea area, his eyebrows are beaming, as if he has seen it with his own eyes.Jiang Xingyun liked to listen to his funny talk, and even rewarded him with a lot of things, and Li Si was even more considerate in serving him.In this way, seven or eight days have passed in the blink of an eye, Jiang Xingyun is still very interested in shopping on Sihai Island, Xu Huang and the two are also used to shopping with Jiang Xingyun, but they have not seen Duan Sihai, Xu Shaodong can't sit still Yes, Huang Yue was also thinking about whether he should go to Jiang Futian to inquire about it.

Jiang Xingyun didn't care, and smiled, "You don't need to inquire, I like it here, let's take a look at it, it's not bad. Go to the pier tomorrow to have a look, we are going to build a seaport in Fujian, just learn from it. How rare Opportunity."

Duan Sihai didn't meet, Jiang Xingyun was not in a hurry, but Duan Sihai's subordinates couldn't hold it anymore, and said to Duan Sihai, "Master, you should talk to them as soon as possible. She also asked questions with Li Si in the posthouse, Li Si is an idiot, three generations of ancestors will be tricked out by her."

Duan Sihai said, "Sages of strange ways say that only women and villains are difficult to raise." He had to see Jiang Xingyun the next day.

Jiang Futian personally went to the posthouse to discuss with Jiang Xingyun about the next day's negotiation. Jiang Xingyun was very straightforward, "The guest can do as he pleases, please Master Duan."

Jiang Futian said, "At the beginning of tomorrow, I will pick up Miss Jiang."

Jiang Futian knew that Jiang Xingyun was difficult to talk to, so he arrived at the post house early the next day. When Jiang Futian arrived, Jiang Xingyun had already had breakfast and was dressing up.

Jiang Futian was very satisfied with Jiang Xingyun's solemnity.

It's just that Jiang Xingyun was supposed to go out at the beginning of the morning, but Jiang Xingyun didn't get dressed until the end of the morning. When Jiang Xingyun came out of the room, Jiang Futian's forehead was sweating, and he was in a hurry.Jiang Xingyun wore a gold crown on his head, a jade belt on his waist, golden silk shoes on his feet, and a purple robe. Only half of his face was covered by an oil paint mask, but the white and delicate chin and red lips were exposed under the mask. , the long and slender neck stretches down, making people wonder what a beautiful face is under the mask.

Jiang Futian was still in charge of leading the way. Seeing Jiang Xingyun, he hurriedly said, "My Miss Jiang, please hurry up, we're starting to talk in Chenzhong."

Jiang Xingyun said, "It's so hot in the sky, look at Lord Jiang's brow sweating, wipe it off quickly, otherwise it would be disrespectful to see your lord like this."

Jiang Futian thought, isn't this bitch mocking Lao Tzu?He was still thinking about it, Jiang Xingyun had already boarded the car by himself.

Waiting until Sizhong, Jiang Xingyun and his party arrived at Duan Sihai's palace.

It is indeed a palace.

Different from the civil buildings in Middle Earth, the palace here is built of stones. Although it is not as exquisite as the Middle Earth buildings, it is also quite magnificent.In fact, this is not Duan Sihai's property, it should be the palace where the royal family originally lived on the island.Duan Sihai killed all the royal family, and the palace became his.

It has to be said that Jiang Xingyun's style is definitely the only one Jiang Futian has ever seen. Jiang Futian has never seen a woman with more style than Jiang Xingyun in his life.Jiang Xingyun walked on the corridor paved with white stones, his freehand style and demeanor made the palace attendants stare straight at him.Even Jiang Futian couldn't help but think that even though she had been ridiculed by this woman several times, in fact, it was not unbearable...

Passing through many stone gates, Jiang Xingyun suddenly looked towards a white palace. There was a stone window with bright rose flowers hanging from climbing vines. Jiang Xingyun stopped, and she saw a man wearing a black mask. Face.

Jiang Xingyun stopped suddenly, and everyone around him stopped, and he couldn't help but follow where Jiang Xingyun was looking. Jiang Xingyun asked Jiang Futian, "Is that Duan Sihai?"

Jiang Futian smiled, "Miss has good eyesight, we adults are looking forward to seeing her so desperately."

Jiang Xingyun's face remained unchanged, and he followed Jiang Futian to the white stone palace. The man stood by the window with his hands behind his back. It could be seen that the man was tall and tall, and he was wearing a black robe that made his waist and ape's arms even more perfect. Mask, so I can't see any expression, but there seems to be some murderous aura in the faint aura of being in the upper class for a long time.

The man looked at Jiang Xingyun.

Jiang Xingyun raised his chin at Jiang Futian, and Jiang Futian said angrily, I am not your slave, okay? He really doesn't understand. Could it be that he looks like a soft persimmon golden baby? How can this Jiang Futian order him so easily? !But he also had to fulfill his duty of notification, so Jiang Futian saluted and said solemnly, "My lord, Miss Jiang is here."

Jiang Xingyun said, "I have admired Lord Duan's name for a long time. Today, as a sign of solemnity, I burn incense and take a bath before leaving the house. Lord Duan has been waiting for a long time."

Duan Sihai said, "It's okay, women always have time to dress up."

Duan Sihai waved his hand, and Jiang Futian asked Xu and Huang to retreat together.Xu Huang looked at Jiang Xingyun, Jiang Xingyun nodded, and the two of them went with Jiang Futian.The middle-aged guard beside Jiang Xingyun stayed behind, and Duan Sihai said, "Mr. Ji might as well go and have a rest. With Miss Jiang's martial arts, it's not easy for me to hurt her. Besides, if I have the heart to hurt others, I won’t wait until now and not do it.”

Jiang Xingyun knew that Duan Sihai must have inquired about him, so he said, "Don't worry, master, it's fine."

The middle-aged guards this side down.

Duan Sihai lamented, "Back then, the ancestors saved Ji Duanhun's life, and since then the Ji family has been loyal to the Song family. In today's world, there are very few loyal people like the Ji family."

Jiang Xingyun didn't expect that Duan Sihai would tell Master Ji's origin with a single word, a deep meaning flashed in his eyes, and said, "Master Duan is not without a loyal person like Master Ji, otherwise why would we be here today."

Duan Sihai only smiled but did not answer.

Jiang Xingyun failed to test, so he smiled and stopped talking about this topic, "Master Duan, won't you invite me to sit?" The two of them kept standing and talking.

The two sit separately as the guest of honor.

Duan Sihai was not a talkative person, so he poured a cup of tea for Jiang Xingyun, Jiang Xingyun accepted it with thanks, and took a sip, the tea was good tea, but it was a little cold after brewing for a long time.

Duan Sihai didn't speak, and Jiang Xingyun just drank tea, and also didn't speak.

Jiang Xingyun's patience is top-notch, and Duan Sihai knows this very well.

In the end, it was Duan Sihai who said first, "Actually, I have no interest in cooperating with Fujian."

Jiang Xingyun said, "Why is Mr. Duan so interested in cooperating with Wu Di?"

"I know that Fujian is cooperating with me just to stabilize me so that I can deal with King Jingjiang with all my strength." Duan Sihai said, "I prefer the current situation."

Jiang Xingyun smiled, "Have you never heard of Master Duan? If the trend is lost, it will not last long. Jingjiang is facing the imperial court. Master Duan, you are at sea. It is naturally good for Lord Duan to separate the three places. With all due respect, I In the past few days, I have been looking at Mr. Duan’s island for a few days. The people live in peace and the merchants are prosperous. Mr. Duan let the aborigines here learn Chinese and Sinology. How long will it take? If you kill all the royal officials here, the people under you will only kill more than you. The king of Jingjiang is in Wudi, and the court has just found out, but why is it necessary to restrict Jingjiang's royal power today? To put it bluntly, when the country was newly established, how many officials of the former royal family were killed during the reign of Taizu. It took time for the people to be stable and get used to the rule of the new dynasty. Therefore, even if Jingjiang was getting bigger and bigger back then, Chaozhong also opened his eyes and closed his eyes. And Mr. Duan, your territory here, with all due respect, may not be as stable as I have seen. It will also take time for Mr. Duan to settle here. Your navy Among them, how many are your direct descendants, how many are the defeated pirates you recruited, and how many are aborigines? Lord Duan, you have too many people under your command, so, in a short time, you must not have the idea of ​​counterattacking the Middle Earth .”

"Master Duan has no intention of attacking Zhongtu, so why bother with the court and Jingjiang?" Jiang Xingyun looked into Duan Sihai's dark eyes with a pair of peach blossom eyes, "What is the difference between you and us? Fujian is going to war?"

Duan Sihai raised his eyebrows. Of course, Duan Sihai was wearing a mask, so Jiang Xingyun didn't see him raising his eyebrows. However, Jiang Xingyun also noticed Duan Sihai's eyes moving slightly, and said, "Miss Jiang is too worried, I won't talk to you For the enemy."

Then, Duan Sihai added, "Similarly, I will not be an enemy of Jingjiang."

Jiang Xingyun was satisfied with this answer, and said, "Neutrality has to be lost, which is the essence of the mean. All I know is that Master Duan has great martial arts, and Master Duan also has great vision. Master Duan is also a real person."

Duan Sihai smiled, "Miss Jiang is the outstanding person."

"Only outstanding people can talk about one another." Jiang Xingyun was not humble, so he laughed.

Of course, she doesn't care about any sea trade business. After Jingjiang is leveled, there will be as many of these businesses as possible. Duan Sihai's ability to remain neutral is already the biggest gain of her trip.

Jiang Xingyun was delighted, and suddenly Duan Sihai said, "It's okay to remain neutral, but I have conditions." Jiang Xingyun said seriously, "Master Duan, please tell me."

"I want you, Princess Xie, to owe me a favor. I will use this favor in the future. You can rest assured that this matter has nothing to do with the conscience of heaven and earth, but in the future, I will use this favor."

Jiang Xingyun said, "If Lord Duan has any difficulties, tell me, even if I can't relieve Lord Duan, maybe I can help."

Duan Sihai said nothing.

If it's any other matter, Jiang Xingyun has a solution, but for this matter... Jiang Xingyun said, "I want to answer on behalf of the princess. I think Mr. Duan can't be trusted. But the princess is far away in Fujian, and Mrs. Duan has time, so I can do it." Arrange for Lord Duan to meet the princess."

The corners of Duan Sihai's lips parted slightly, and he said word by word, "I won't go, let you thank Princess Wang for coming to meet you!"

Jiang Xingyun's brows slowly furrowed.

Duan Sihai firmly offered the terms.

Jiang Xingyun refused to give an inch, "It's absolutely impossible! What kind of status is the princess, how can she come here to take risks!"

Duan Sihai laughed, opened his arms, and spoke aggressively, "Princess Xie dares to marry into the royal family to seek the throne, but she is afraid that I will not succeed as a small island!"

Jiang Xingyun stood up, "The way is different, so don't conspire with each other."

Duan Sihai said, "Miss Jiang, you are not Princess Xie, how do you know that Princess Xie refuses to come?"

Jiang Xingyun sneered, "I'm not Princess Xie, but Master Duan has the ability to occupy islands overseas and become king, so why don't you dare to go to Fujian to meet the princess?"

Duan Sihai said lightly, "In the future, I will beg Miss Jiang one day, and I will go ashore to see her in person."

Jiang Xingyun's tongue was also sharp, "Then I'll wait for Lord Duan on the shore!"
